A great weekend. I want you to have a good one.
But let me tell you two things that are on
my mind. And I do want to get the phone
calls going. It's a collaborative effort. I'm doing it Han
solo style. But we have the greatest team ever. Monci's here,
Danny g Sam Spotty again, It's the Cavino Show, along
with you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, so b Dyland.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
As my good friend Scott Frell would always say, shake
it out, light them up.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Light it up, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
That's the number, or you can hit us up at
Covino and Rich. But I do want to get you
involved and hear from you eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, because baseball is here.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
And what a day yesterday, I say yesterday. You know why.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I know there's no crying in baseball, and I know
that we have an anti sports baby policy here on
the Coveno and Rich show sports Baby, but I am
so annoyed and I feel like such a crying baby
when I'm so pumped up about the Yankees win yesterday.
Du Yankees win, Austin Wells goes deep, the first catcher

(04:37):
to go deep for the Yanks since like nineteen hundred
in the lead off position. Yeah, since forever, over one
hundred years.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
And you got.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Anthony also Golpy with the bomb Volpi is the bomb?
A nice win four to two over the Brewers. And
then I wake up today and I'm like, yeah, buddy, more,
Oh they're off today.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Wait, I hate that.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
That's still week. It is.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's the dumbest, honestly, and like I'll bring it up
to casual sports fans and You're like, seriously, that's what
you're mad about, and I'm like, yes, yeah, it's not
like a Thursday it's the day after Opening Day. It
always seems to happen that way, and I hate it,
and it's aggravating.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
It's annoying. I know I sound like.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
A crab, cry baby, little sports baby b but it's
so frustrating because you're like, you tease me with a
beautiful win yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now I gotta wait again for tomorrow. Did they go
to Disneyland with Rich Yeah, that's where they're at. What
do you take it off on a Friday? Cavino, Me
and Moncey's Dodgers aren't off. We have our ring ceremony tonight.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
I know.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
I I'm like, how do you just start Opening Day
and then half the teams the next day?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
You're like, okay, you take a day off.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
There was something so annoying about it because you wait
all year.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's like a holiday.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's like, oh, Opening Day, you had a nice win.
It was a beautiful win, a nice day. You know,
started off sad. They did the tribute the Yankees I'm
talking about did the tree to Brett Gardner's son, very somber,
horrible story. Aaron Judge was very close to Brett Gardner
and his family. He seemed very upset. But had a
nice double yesterday. You know, Yankees had a really nice win.

(06:11):
I feel in Gardner's honor. Nice win to start the season.
Few bombs and then you in no game today.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Very annoying.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I know you don't care about the Yankees, but you
have to understand how I feel about it.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Thank you for playing along and understanding.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I agree, so I'm annoyed, but I do want to
talk about any other takeaways. Danny g I gotta say this.
I was talking to some other Dodgers fans. I was
talking to my girlfriend's dad. He's also a Dodgers fan.
Shout out to Lynn. He's out there in Idaho. He's like, Yo, man,
maybe I'm old, but I don't like the gold jerseys.

(06:47):
You know, I thought they were fired. I hate the Dodgers.
Screw the Dodgers. I'm a Yankees guy, but man, I
thought that was really cool. I like the gold Mancie
any thoughts on that.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
You only get to do it if you win the
World Series. It's like, even if you don't like it,
you shut up.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
And so delivered the World Series trophy ice Cube in
a classic car, driving.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Drive it around the warning track the whole.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Thing, the whole just opening ceremony and again the ring
ceremony today. Barf because it's so cool and you guys
are so star studded and.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh, you're gonna hate something I'm gonna talk about that's
on Apple TV. We get to weekend Hobyo.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
It makes me want to barf because they're so good
and he's a superstar stepping up in the big moments,
hitting another bomb like.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
They're so sixty two and oh it's gross.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
So any of your takeaways from Opening Day or the
games today, it's just fun to have baseball back, and
of course your college basketball. If you're grumpy as a
sports fan right now, here's my theory on this, and
you can take it personal if you want to. I
think you sucked it, little League, because if you associate
this time of the year with bad feelings and bad memories,
you're the weakest. You sucked Little League, and it just

(08:00):
brings up bad feelings for you because it's the best
time of the year. Baseball begins, which signified springtime for me.
The weather's starting to break, you're starting to bust out
your little short shorts.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
You see burst the other day.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
That works here He was showing more man Thig than
MONSI does on the beat Tale. He was like Manthik.
His upper thighs are so white. I had to put
sunglasses on when I came into the office.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
We had all those great baseball games. And then, yeah,
I watched my Lakers lose. But if somebody hits a
half court shot to win, even against your team, I
was like, okay, I respect giddy for that shot. He
wasn't even to the half court line.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
You know, Lebron should pass the ball better, and that
is down He did that half fast.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, that it was.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
It was And then the Austin Reeves lay up uncontested.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Also easy lay up there and it was that whole
fifteen twenty seconds was crag.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
They were sleepwalking there at the end. But that shot,
I mean, how many times have you seen it? In
the eighties, we saw like Isaiah Magic make some shots
like that once in a while, but few and far
in between. That was amazing.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
But they were hitting threes and hitting nice shots the
whole fourth quarter. That Lakers should not have lost that game.
It's embarrassing. And forget about the last it was it
was a choke job. How about the last twenty four
hours where you have a buzzer beater from Lebron and
then he's a buzzer beater with let's not say it's.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
A buzzer beater, and then and then uncontested.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Uncontested tipping, thank you, and the Arkansas then Arkansas. After that,
I'm watching the Arkansas game, looks like they're in control.
Texas text storms back that shot to go to overtime,
and then in overtime that ot was amazing basketball. So
anyone that says, oh, this march madness is not good,
she shut up. That was amazing.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
So they're saying that because there's no Cinderella team, but
is there at this.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Point, like maybe one at.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Thee it was Arkansas was because it was the lowest seed.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
They weren't considered a Cinderella.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
No, no, no, but I mean like that was really like
a power five team. But they were the lowest seed
ten in the Tier left. So crazy stat though, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Give it to me.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
John Caliperry was coming into this game, was thirty five,
and oh when he had a lead at halftime of
six points or greater and he blew, they blew, like
what a sixteen point lead?

Speaker 3 (10:16):
They did blow a sixteen point.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Thirty five and oh when with a halftime lead of
six points more, that is a crazy stat And guess
what lead the Lakers wasted in the fourth quarter a
sixteen point lead.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh, that's I didn't know. Was that?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Also that Arkansas game, like the numbers when there was
like about four minutes left, it was a ninety five
percent chance that Arkansas was gonna win with like four
minutes left in regulation.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Bar No, I don't know who you blame at that point.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
But yeah, and here's what I'm getting at all this, right,
and it backs up the point that I'm saying. We're
talking exciting, even on the losing side of your Lakers,
Dandy g exciting basketball, college basketball, NBA Baseball's back. Like
I said, the weather's nice. If you're grumpy, it's a
two thought. If you're grumpy this weekend heading into the weekend,

(11:05):
you either sucked at Little league right because again because
it brings back old feelings. Ah, or you just need
a hug something's wrong, like you're you're maybe depressed or something,
just because there's something. Yeah, but there's just so much
going on, Like even if you're not a sports guy
or a college basketball guy. It's the weekend, the weather's
starting to break, it's beautiful. You have the sound of

(11:27):
baseball in the background. You might need a hug manzi.
You might have to give out hugs or something.

Speaker 7 (11:31):
Oh but I'm really grumpy, Monsy.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
But something maybe is not right with you. You're opening
day takeaways, anything you want to chop it up about.
I'm here to talk eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
But something else is on my mind. Is this Duke controversy.
Speaking of the weekend, and speaking of college basketball, let's
talk about Duke. They be Arizona, number one. Duke be
Arizona one hundred and ninety three, right, be number four Arizona.

(12:00):
Now they take on Alabama tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken, right,
number one Duke taking on number two Alabama tomorrow. So
what's the controversy? You got your sweek sixteen, you got
your weekend plans. You know what part of my weekend
hobnobbing agenda is. We're gonna talk about what you need
to watch this weekend. Of course some college basketball, but

(12:22):
of course some white Lotus. You guys watching the white Lotus.
Of course, Spot's watching the brown Lotus. I don't even
know what that means. That means, I don't even know
what that means.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
But the White Lotus. That sounds kind of gross. I know, right.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's one of those polarizing shows on HBO Max. It's
season three. It's done by Mike White, who will forever
be Net Schneeby of the School of Rock for me. Now,
in this show, you don't need to watch the show
to understand what's going on. Jason Isaacs plays a character
named Tim Ratcliffe, and Tim Tim Ratcliffe is on vacation

(12:59):
with his family at the White Lotus in Thailand, and
by the way, thoughts to Thailand.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I don't know if you saw it today, a seven
point seven earthquake, yo. The footage looks like a nightmare.
It looks so scary.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Last I heard well over one hundred people died. They're
saying maybe into the thousands.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
I hope not.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
But a major earthquake in Bangkok today in Thailand. But
the show takes place in Thailand. Jason Isaacs Tim Ratcliffe
is the character. He's on vacation with his family and
while he's on vacation at the White Lotus, he gets
terrible news.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
He's going to be thrown under the bus publicly. That's
the gist.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
That's what we know, like devastating business news that's gonna
incriminate him, like Embezzelmanezman. It's going to be big news
and it's going to ruin his life and his family.
So he is the only guy that knows this. On
the show, he gets the hold of a gun on
the show. Now, I'm not giving away the plot. I'm

(14:02):
just telling you what happened, and it's a viral story today.
On the show, he gets the hold of a gun.
He's having suicidal thoughts. He has a weak moment where
he's like, I'm gonna be thrown in jail.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
My reputation is going to be ruined. I'm going to
ruin my family.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm gonna end it all right Now, he takes the gun,
he points at his head. It becomes a moment on
the show, a viral moment on the show. In this moment,
he's wearing a Duke T shirt and they're saying that
Mike White, the creator of the show, is so crafty
and so well thought out.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
He knew exactly when this show was gonna air.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
No, when the meme was gonna hit no and when
Duke if and when Duke number one, Duke blows it,
this meme is going to be all over the place.

Speaker 8 (14:53):
You blew it, You're over.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Duke is done.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
So they're saying that he's so crafty, and you know what,
it's very believable because every little part of the show
is thought out.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
It's a psychological sort of show.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Where like everything means some check right and that's the
whole that's what makes the show good. So they're like,
that didn't happen by accident, schneebly, Mike White must have
or a writer must have some sort of hatred to Duke,
or they're just really trying to clown Duke in this
moment because everybody knows that this is the viral meme.
So there's so many questions that comes from it. Is

(15:27):
it funny? Is it going too far right? And there's
a lot of is the way let us going too far?
Duke doesn't think it's funny. They they're like, we don't
they stand for what this represents. They put out a
statement they also said there was no approval of it.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, they didn't improve their their logo being used in
the show.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
So it's not a meme yet, but it is a
viral moment. Oh yeah, so like this is the start
of it. Duke's still in it, right, but they're saying
if and when Duke loses, this is the one that's thing,
everybody's gonna lean into Dukes. I don't think I think
they're gonna blow away everybody. Well then no one. Then
guess what. Mike White of the way his evil plan

(16:09):
never comes to Fruition will get the last laugh. They'll
get the last laugh. And that's another storyline that's fun.
So based on that, I do want to know your thoughts.
Fox Sports Radio Nation eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
My first question is the White Lotus. Do you think
certain shows go too far? Like my girlfriend stopped watching
The Walking Dead with me when sorry for the spoiler, guys,

(16:31):
when Carl died. Remember when Carl died? Yeah, she stopped watching.
She's like that, Oh I didn't know he died. Shut off, dude,
who the hell's watching that anymore?

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Remind me I did see I just haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
It so long.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
I imagine Zombie got to him. I forget exactly.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
I mean, not that it's been a while.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
I had a big thing of pudding and uh and
died or something. I forget right. Then he did eat
a vat of pudding or he fell into he fell in,
but I remember my ground. She was like, it's just
gone too far. I'm like Carl, who cares about Carl.
She's like, I just can't watch anymore. He's a child,
He's a child.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm like, you had a stupid cowboy hat.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I don't care about Carl now the White Lotus with
this Duke thing and other storylines, people are saying it's
gone too far, But I'm trying to lighten it up
a little bit based on this possible meme that could
sweep the nation if Duke loses in the Sweet sixteen.
Feeling giddy like Josh because it's Friday, Sorry, Danny.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
G Yeah, Friday. How to your Lakers lose day? That's
all right, the night before they want a buzzer. Then
it's a push. You know they should have had that game?
Was it one nineteen one seventeen basketball? You know what?
The defense though, was amazing there at the end of
that game. So you can't be mad unless you.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Can Yeah, okay, So we have lots to get to today.
Weekend hob nobbing, like we always do. What you need
to watch all the sports and entertainment stick around for that,
plus a game that's sweeping the name is it me
or Bill Belichick apparently where the same guy will explain
we'll give away prizes.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
But now back to the phone calls.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Let's get involved at eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox or at Covino and Rich hashtag Covino's the Man
hashtag Rich is Dope. Rich is on the Dumbo Flying
Ride as we speak right now, I just got an
update Dumbo the Flying Elephant after he got out of
the dult whipline, after his adult whipline, Adult Whip Life,
Covino and Whip Show today. So tomorrow Duke takes on Alabama,

(18:30):
right number one, Duke number two Alabama if they lose,
if they lose any time, Apparently the conspiracy goes that
Mike White, the creator of The White Lotus, very popular
show on HBO Max, purposefully created a moment that was
intended to be a meme. And it's Jason Isaacs what

(18:53):
a gun to his head wearing a Duke T shirt.
So you could say, was that intentional or was it coincidentance.
I don't think anything on this show is coincidence, but
I looked into it. I did my due diligence, I
did my research. I'm like, does Mike White have some
sort of in depth does he hate Duke? He went
to Wesleyan University so as a theater in English major.

(19:17):
So nothing, no juice there. Maybe he just doesn't like Duke,
or somebody.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Told him like, hey, this is the most popular school
this year because of Cooper flag.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, if we put this maybe in.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
All what should he be wearing a Duke T shirt?

Speaker 9 (19:31):
Like?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
It wasn't by accident. Let's be real. It seems specific,
very specific.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
Well, they's supposed to be from North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yes, okay, so that adds to.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
That's their order, Okay.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
But it's all purposeful, it really is. They're making these
characters very hate herble. They want you to hate them.
So he's wearing the Duke T shirt in this very
important moment when he's about to commit suicide or thinking
about it on the show. So the thought process is
this was bound to be a meme that everybody leans
into because they are gonna want to hate on Duke

(20:03):
when they lose.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
If they lose Iowa. Sam says he thinks they're.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Going all the way, but he could pay dividends for
any year from now or the way.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
They could use that meme right right, you know what, Yeah,
it lives forever. You're right, Like Oasis, It's gonna live forever.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Now.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
The question here Fox Sports Radio Nation, if and when
this ever becomes a meme. When it comes to sports memes,
they're great. But there's a number one. So I'll give
you my best case.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
He case something. I think I have number two.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, wish, I give you my Spider Harrison coming in
at number one, the number one sports meme. And I
hate to credit Mike who runs this place.

Speaker 8 (20:43):
Who Mike?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
He drops a little nugget and walks away. He might
drop he might drop this one.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
I got.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I know the number one, and he's right, he's right,
And I hate giving him credit. Ah, because you know
what came to mind for me. I'll tell you what
came to mind for me, all right, let's be real
about it. It was Swaggy p the nick Young meme
when turns around.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
So famous. I feel like he's more famous for that
than anything else.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I use it all the time.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
The huh the swaggy p Does everybody know it's him?

Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's Nick Young, It's Nick Young, former Laker.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
All right, do you need a drum roll for your
number one? But I was like, that's that's gotta be
up there, right.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
It is number that's number three, after the number two one, Michael,
the number one is and here it is number one.
And I'd love to hear you debate it, and I
want to hear your answers. Which one Bill used the most?
The Jordan cry face? It really is.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Don't use that one, but it's so famous. It's so
famous it's even put into other players faces.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Sure because he's Michael, because he's Michael Jordan. Be because
he's crying. And see because it's just so funny.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
And he knows it. He makes fun of himself.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's the worst. It's the worst, but
it's everywhere. It has to be the number one. He's
the most famous sports icon, arguably of all time. It's
a meme that everybody knows. Your mom probably knows the
Jordan cry face. It might pass the mom test. But
what other ones come to mind? What other ones do
you use? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Number two also involves crying being upset. Lebron famously in
his calves Jersey jj R. Smith on the Golden State
Warriors court with his hands both hands out like this,
and he's and he.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah, Danny, that's the one I was gonna say.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
That's the one. That's the one I was going to say.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
So I was.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
I'm right with you.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's one that I've used multiple times. It's the moment.
It's it's more like a why why what are you doing?
What are you doing? Yeah? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
And it's so like everybody knows the frustration. Yes, yeah,
Lebron is feeling in that moment.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
That's what I wanted to do when the Lakers were
on defense at the end of the Bulls game.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yes, yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Isn't it funny how we're going backwards like we now
speaking symbols and memes and gifts.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Like we like babies and children.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
We communicate in hieroglyphic now, like not even words, just pictures,
just just just Lebron sideways. Why because we all know
what that means. It's like frustration, Why would you do that?
And you know what, danyj immediately comes to mind, it's
top three. You're right, I think that is number two
because because he's number two to Jordan, let's be real

(23:28):
about it, just like life, it's number two to debates
coming up an hour two.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Oh yeah, we'll get to it.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
So what other sports memes crack the top five?

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Coming in at number five.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
One that I use a lot, but it could be
because you know, I'm a Clippers fan now. But the
one of James Harden with the mic and he rolls
his eyes and kind of like walks away.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Is that more of a gift or is gifts and
means the same same ambrella.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
It's the difference.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Didn't move if is like ato the meme is a
still shot, but still shot with like maybe a little
bit of a because ron I feel like.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
There's also the gift because he's like, you know, like
moving his hands.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Like don't get a twisted Because I definitely see Harden
as a meme.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Absolutely often, totally there is a difference, and I'm I,
you're right, You're right.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
And it's a me is more of a gift despite
what Bryce Harper embarrassingly said years ago he called it
a mimi, but again in the defense at first, none
of us.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't know if it's gift or gift. It's gift.
The creator came out and said, it's a gift. It's gift.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
The creator came out and said, it's Jiff. I swear
they keep going back and forth.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Who cares?

Speaker 5 (24:42):
I said, gift now, which is peanut butter? Jiff is
peanut butter. It's I say my brain, now, choosey, Sam's
choose gift. So you know, yeah, they all fall in
the same category. But we're focusing on memes specifically. But
it doesn't really matter. I'm not here to grade you
on your mon point. He did though in the pre
show meeting. I said, oh, the one that I use

(25:04):
a lot is the Jets. Wait what player are Scott?
Bart Scott can't wait? Oh yeah, and he said, no,
that's a gift.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
That's not a meme.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
That's one of my favorite not only gifts, but soundbites
because you turn that one up.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
If you can't wait, if.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
You see Bart Scott and it isn't like steam coming
from his head, yes, if you see the steam from
like you know again, because we speak in hieroglyphics, Today's
version of hieroglyphics you know that you're excited about something. Yeah, dude, wait,
can't wait for baseball this weekend?

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Can't wait?

Speaker 6 (25:35):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Can't wait? So, based on this potential Jason Isaac's character,
what is it? Tim Ratcliffe? Tim?

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Tim Tim Ratcliffe wearing this Duke jersey? This could be
a very popular sports meme, quite possibly starting this weekend
if Duke loses or moving forward, like Sam said, it
might be up there. What other sports gifts memes memes
come to mind? What if he was wearing the Duke
shirt when like his uh you know that scene where

(26:03):
he's junk was hanging out? Okay, by the way, a
much better be We talked about going too far on
the show. I don't need to see this guy's junk.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Damn I hear there's a lot of junk on this
season of The White Lost stood up straight on other shows.
You've said you don't want that sent to your phone,
So why would you want it on your TV screen?

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Not on my phone? Bigger I need a bigger screen.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, I think we need a morning can I ask?

Speaker 9 (26:31):
So?

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Walt Walton Goggins is on White Lotus right, and he's fantastic. Okay,
I like Walton Goggins a lot, but it wasn't Didn't
he show his man parts on the Royal Gemstones or
the Righteous Gemstones? Didn't didn't he he shows his junk
on some show. I think it's the age of man junk,
you know, like how the Age of Aquarius. We're entering
the age of forgetting Sarah Marshall, age of manja What

(26:56):
is it?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
The hangover? There's like some fake junk, I think, but
it's very real.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Because we're so desensitized Sam to really get the attention
of the public today.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's man junk.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Boogie Knight started at all man junk. Yeah, probably Boogie Knight.
So the white lotus, lots of man junk and this
meme controversy. Let's go to the phones. Thank you Fox
Sports Radio Nation for hanging with me The Richless Show,
Cavino and rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (27:21):

Hey, I got that meme? Tiger and John Daily right
next to each other. Yes, it's years for like you
got high class on this side and you got ready
at a party on this side, ready to go.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
And there's so many different versions of that, but that's
really the premise of it. It's like, you know, here's
Tiger Woods looking sort of classy in his little vest,
and then John Daly looking like he's smoking a sig.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
I think he's he's right, colors zoom, but Pan's it's
so good.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yeah, total man, Jake got that right, because that is
a meme.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
That's a great one. Thank you for the call. That's
exactly what we're talking about. But if you're going to
say a gift, some of those gifts are memes. So yeah,
it's all fair game, it's all fun.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Who cares? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Who

Speaker 6 (28:38):
And then my meme is, uh my meme is I
say it.

Speaker 10 (28:44):
It's remember when Kobe it's off Kobe shrugging his shoulders
and he goes It's called shooting guard, not passing guard. Yeah,
I say that in my league games all the time.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
They're like, I'm like, I'm the shooting guard.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
It does make me think of Jordan too shrugging, because
it's still like a what do you want from me?
And that's used often too, like you know, what do
you want from me?

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Like now you got Kaitlyn Clark shrugging?

Speaker 9 (29:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:06):

does it take to beat up one lebron?

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (29:29):
Three?

full day with his whole family Disneyland. You know what
that is.

I'm talking about. Yeah, I sent that one a lot.
That was my favorite Olympic moment. So anyway, guys, thank
you for all your feedback. You know what, I'll take
your phone calls next if you want to stick around.
But I want to talk Jazz Chisholm and something that

(33:17):
he did yesterday.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I thought it was awesome.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Is imitation the best flattery, the most sincere form of
flattery or is it just weak? Right at the end
of the show yesterday, Juan Soto came up with a
chance to tie, and yeah, tie the game.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
You had a big the biggest smile on your face.
It was rich standing next to Rob Parker before the
Odd Couple begin.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, we didn't leave the studio. We had to see
what happened. Right, So, Wan Soto's up and.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Run around first and third.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
He strikes out so terribly right, You're like, oh, it
was so weak. He didn't just strike out swinging, He
struck out like eh, right, it was like embarrassing. Yeah,
and I loved it. Now I'm not a soo hater.
In fact, I'll I don't know about it. I'll be
diplomatic and I'll be mad enough to say I think
he does look good in the Mets uniform.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
He does. He looks he looks good, he fits right in.
He chased the bag. Yeah, well he struck out and
he went there was a part of me.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
You're right, Danny g that couldn't help but smile from
ear to ear and and and I love seeing Rich
watch it. And I just love seeing Soto's reaction. I
love seeing him pout when he talked about it after
the game. You know, his his mannerisms look like, ah,
you paid how much for that? Because you pay Sodo
all that money so that he comes through in that moment.

(34:41):
And he's a big moment guy. It's opening day, Sodo's up.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
He strikes out like that. That was pathetic. I heard
him say to Rob Parker, it's a long season, right,
It's a long season. You know, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 3 (34:53):
You know, get him next time.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
But it was a sweet pitch and a really nice
strikeout because you could see how indecisive he was.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Fooled.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
He was totally fooled. It was one of those half swings.
He didn't mean too but he had to the way
he was looking back at the plate, it was like
somebody mugged him, like his wallet.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
So I want to make it clear, I don't hate
on him. I'm not rooting for him, but I'm not
rooting for anything bad. But I did love that moment.
It was great Yankees fan. Now on the Yankee side
of things, this sort of went under the radar, but
thanks to social media, people pick up on stuff and
then it goes viral. Jazz Chisholm, New York Yankee playing second,

(35:37):
he's in the batter's box. Now, remember Jazz and Sodo
played together last year. I think that's important to the story.
Jazz Chishlm, colorful player who's kind of viral for a
few moments. Right now, they catch him do the Sodo shuffle.
Did you see that? And he's done it before. He
did it when he was in Miami and it caused

(35:59):
the major problem with Miguel Rojas. Miguel Rojas wasn't happy
about it. Turns out Miguel Rojas and some of those
Marlins were a bunch of jerks anyway, because the other
viral story that's resurfaced is the fact that they used
to bully the hell out of this guy when he
was a young kid on the Marlins. He would go
there with his flashy new cleats, and it was one

(36:19):
story where they poured milk in his cleats, they chopped
them in half, they cut up his cleats. They bullied
jash Chisholm for wanting to stand out, wanting to be different,
and he's like, yo, man, it was so messed up.
That story's gone viral. How the Marlins were just a
bunch of punks, bunch of haters anyway. But when he
was in Miami, Miguel Rojas also got on him for
doing the Soto shuffle then because he was like, yo,

(36:42):
you can't be doing that.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
In fact, here's jas Chishom talking about it.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Soto is an All Star.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Noah, da da dah.

Speaker 10 (36:49):
You can't be doing that, bro.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
What do you mean he's having fun, Bro, We're playing
a kid's game.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
So my question is when he saw him do it
again in the Pinstripes yesterday, is he allowed to do
that because I mean, Soto is his former teammate. It's
like this, here's how I see it. At first, When
you hang around someone long enough, you pick up on
their mannerisms, their expressions sort of become your expressions, and
it's understood because your boys, right, And that's how friends communicate,

(37:17):
friends talk. So when Jazz Chisholm does the Soto shuffle
when he takes a pitch yesterday, was he just doing
what his boy used to do and it sort of
just happened? You know, sometimes even when you're jokingly doing something,
it just becomes a part of you and what you do.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Or was he taking a.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Jab at Sodo? Was it a funny moment? Was he
poking fun at Sodo? How do you view this moment?
Or do you simply say imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery? Is it flattering when people imitate somebody? Or
is it a weak move? And maybe Miguel Rojas was

(37:58):
onto something like yo, man, that's Soto thing. Be better
than that and it's disrespectful? Like what are your thoughts?
And by the way, this is a fun little nugget
to think about before you call, because I want to
get you involved Fox Sports Radio Nation your thoughts. Is
imitation really the best flattery or is it just weak?
Eight seven seven ninety nine out Fox? Is it case

(38:19):
by case? Eight seven seven ninety nine out Fox? That's
the number? At Covino and Rich do you know the
full quote attributed to imitation? Is the sincerest form of
flattery anyone. Anyone finishes by saying, but they better pay you, No.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I should right. According to Google, imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery. Everybody loves to say that, right.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
It's the sincerest form of flat means, amen means you're
the man, means they idolize you, take it as a compliment.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can
pay to greatness. So, in other words, this I'm saying
because you're mediocre and you have no originality of your own,

(39:05):
so you're just paying homage to the greatness the original
that came before you. You have no original thought, no
original style, no original anything. So this is the greatest
form of flattery you could show to the person who
came up with it. Let me repeat that again. Imitation
is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay
to greatness. In other words, Soto is the greatness in

(39:29):
this analogy. But I look at it like this, I
do jazz chism is just doing what jazz chism does.
He's a colorful guy, he's funny, he has a personality
of his own. He shows some flair, and I think
He's earned the right to do that because Soto was
his boy and his teammate last year, and he picked
up a little something from the guy even though he

(39:49):
had done it in the past.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
That's how I feel about it.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
But there's other times, and that's why I said, case
by case, case by case, where I don't look at
it that way, I don't. I'll give you another time
where I do look at it like flattery. Kobe Bryant, dude,
the moves he made were identical. Ident it when you
see us side by side with him and Jordan, and

(40:15):
the moves, the way he copied Jordan, it was identical,
and it was the most sincereous form of flattery because
he wanted to be like Mike. He wanted to be
like Michael Jordan. You know, he practiced all those moves
and it was no shame in that. Everybody wanted to
be like Mike. He did it, and he did it great.
He was Kobe Bryant. And you know what, I think

(40:36):
Jordan was cool with that. I heard Rob Parker and
Kelvin the Odd Couple talking about how you know, Jordan
embraced Kobe Bryant. Jordan does not embrace Lebron James. So
it was flattering, and it was flattery that Kobe Bryant
did a lot of Jordan moves. Kobe Bryant also did
a lot of his own Kobe moves. There's no question

(40:57):
he had his own originality too. Maybe that's why it was.
How do you feel about that, Danny G I.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Think that MJ should be a little friendlier to Lebron.
But you know, MJ's a special guy. We all remember
that speech that he gave where he sounded very, very bitter,
and you know that drove him in his career. But
no one had a problem when Kobe was doing those
Jordan moves. Yeah, but Kobe was a more likable guy.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
I don't know if that's it. I think it has
to do with Kobe never crowned himself like he never
said I am the best.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
He always he gave himself a nickname though he gave
him Yeah, he gave himself that, sure, but it's not
the King made it his own.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Yeah, the Mama mentality, which really was like a Jordan
sort of mentality, right sure, which.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
Is separate from a lot of players mentalities like a
lot of people do not have that work ethic.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
That's like a real thing.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
I think there is a little bit of a difference,
Like I don't think he anointed himself the best even
though he was trying to be the best, just like Jordan.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
When Lebron points himself the best, he does I mean,
you crown yourself? Can you literally crown yourself?

Speaker 1 (42:06):
You know number twenty three your Twitter Hansel is King James.
He was honoring Jordan. Sometimes it's weird how you work
with a lot of people who crown.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Themselves sure, and who are nobodies.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yes, I know, yeah, Look I'm not I'm not saying
I'm a fan of Lebron putting the crown on his head.
I do think though, later on we are kids might
look back and say, wow, everybody was hard on Lebron
and everybody misses him playing the game of basketball. That's
the one thing right now where we're all in this

(42:37):
moment of you know, a lot a lot of haters
on Lebron. Oh yeah, way more haters than fans.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
And I don't I don't fully disagree with you. I
think a big part of it is social media and
the access that we have to players and people today,
because we didn't have access to Michael Jordan like that.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Trust me, Michael Jordan would not be as beloved if
we all had found out all of his personal dirt.
There's no on social media back.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
I don't disagree. And so that's the really big difference.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
And you know, Kobe kind of like didn't also have
this mega social media life either.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
It wasn't the way it is now.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
So the access that we have to see Lebron and
obviously like what's happening now, Steve and I like he
he kind of brings it on himself, but he's living
in an age where this is what we do, this
is well, this is how we live through social media.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
And he's complicated, kind of like how Tupac was. Sure, yeah,
where there's two sides of the coin with Lebron, Yeah, yeah,
he he makes us all roll our eyes often. Yeah,
But also look at the life he's lived and he's
never made any big mistakes. He's never you know what
I mean, He's been a great role model.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Do you agree that there we don't give him enough
credit for certain things that he has done, and that
maybe like we are going to look back and be like, yeah,
we're probably too harsh on him.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
You're probably right, but he he does bring you know
what I mean? Like he does bring attention to himself.
He loves it. He loves himself.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
My point is too, Kobe Bryant did so many Michael
Jordan moves and imitated Michael Jordan so many times, but
we accepted it and we loved it for what he did.
Lebron wears his number and we don't accept it. Jordan
doesn't accept it. So again, imitation, fair move or weak move?

(44:26):
Based on Jazz Chisholm doing the Soto shuffle?

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Did it bother you?

Speaker 1 (44:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:30):
I loved it.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I'm glad, he asked Danny g didn't bother me at all.
And I didn't take it as.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
A jab.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
I didn't either.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
I took it as he is just doing it because
he wanted to, just as he said in that SoundBite,
like what who cares? Who cares that he's an All
Star and he's won Soto. He's the inventor of everything.
I can't do it to his baseball. I'm having fun,
haven't we all? Because we have to remember? And I
brought up Kobe because Kobe was a fan. We're all fans.
Jazz Chishlm's a fan. You think I's a fan of soda,

(45:01):
I'm sure he is, even though they're both big leaguers.
We're all fans of the game. When you were playing baseball,
you didn't stand in the batter's box like Darryl Strawberry
or whoever was your hero.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
We all do that as a still do flattery football,
and I still do that.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
But you still have to have and a little bit
of originality there too, because that's where it becomes weak.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
I said his case by case too, because there are
very personal moments in life where you're like, that is
not flattery. That is just weak in Manzi, you're a woman.
If you have a nice pair of shoes or a
nice outfit and your girlfriend buys the same thing, don't
tell me for a second you feel flattered.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
We better not wear it on the same day.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Oh but you feel flattered, I would be one of
my friends or kiss your friends.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
No, because I literally like when it's my friend's birthday
and I have to buy them something. If I like it,
I buy one from me and I give them one
and I say, let's not wear it together.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
There's a lot of terms for this.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
I heard Swaggerjacker like, you're a sweet swagger jacket.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
But to me, I just think you're the lamest. Get
your own style, be your own original.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
When Rich comes in here and he's wearing like sneakers
that I already got, I want to karate kick him.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
In the face, honest to god. Like Rich does so
many little subtle things.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
I'm like, yo, dude, now we look like two dummies
doing the same thing, right, Like, for example, I always
used to wear jackets, always wore jackets, And I even said, like,
I'm a jacket guy. Am I the inventor of jackets?
Absolutely not, but I'm the jacket guy. And then he
comes in with a jacket similar to mine. I want
to give him an elbow to the neck. So, you know,
so I don't always feel flattering. I feel it's a

(46:35):
weak move. Be original, get your own dude.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, you know you're You're right.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
I just with like my closest friends, I feel like
I wouldn't be upset. But you're right, there's somebody that
would make me feel that way.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
You're not wrong. There's somebody that I would look at
sidea and be like, did.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
You really wear that?

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Like?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
And you're right, if it's your friend, you like, you
sort of look past it, but you make the mental
nose the mental milk.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
It would be like if everyone at the network started
wearing my Travis Matthew hat. Yeah, and Danny, I feel
for you, bro, because that was your thing.

Speaker 8 (47:07):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
It's so true, Danny g with the Travis Matthew guy. Right,
we all try to put an original twist on who
we are. He rocked Travis Matthew all the time. All
of a sudden, they're a sponsor of the show.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Everybody's got it, not just to have it. They have
my same hat. Yeah, ruins it. Now.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Here's the thing, though, and I think we're getting to
the core of it, and I'm glad we're able to
figure it out. And we'll take your phone calls. At
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Mike who runs
his Place? Who I mean this guy, he's just so
full of wisdom. I guess Mike who runs his Place
is like there were two rivals at another job. There
were two rivals who didn't necessarily like each other at

(47:46):
this other place that he worked at. Right, one dude
shows up. He got a new car, and you know
it came out. Oh man, sweet new rides like an
Infinity or something like that. Like six months later, the
other dude bought the same exact car, and it's like, yeah,
that's so weak.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
So it's like, if you don't like that person and
they're imitating you, that's.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
When it becomes an issue. And I think that's why
Jordan doesn't like Lebron because he really doesn't like him.
So that's why the flattery doesn't work there. I think
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery when you like
that person, when there's a humility involved.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yeah. Also if it's competition, like yeah, industry, we do.
We've all created a benchmark or a bit, and you
hear another radio station bite it yeah and steal.

Speaker 9 (48:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
If I don't like that person, or there's a rivalry there,
or I just don't vibe with that, there is no
humility and all of a sudden they're doing something that
I'm doing all the time. Yet you're gonna be like,
screw that. There's no there's no flattery. That's just mediocrity.
You're an unoriginal style Steeler. Just spit my style.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
D White Shreut buys a bunch of Cornell Cornell attire
to get under the skin of Andy on the Office.
Even though Andy went to Cornell, he loves to show
it off. Yeah, he loves to brag me, so Dwight.
And then he's like, you didn't go to Cornell, and
Dwight's like, I don't care. I'm just trying to screw
with you.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Oh that's so funny. I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
I'm glad you brought that up. I never really watched
that show. I sorry, what, Yeah, I don't watch that
or Friends or any corny show.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Okay, it's not corny. I'm allergic.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
It's not corny. The Office is not corny.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
I've seen Friends is corny.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
I'll give you that.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
I love Friends, it's one of my favorite shows of
all time, but it's corny under that offices.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
I don't watch Modern Family.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Or he's just not fun.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
What's the other one which always talks about he's not
listening to Patrick Harris?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Oh, how I met your mother?

Speaker 8 (49:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
I never met Not my thing, guys, and that's not
who I am, you know why, because that's richest thing,
you know what I do.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
My own thing.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
G I'm an original, being a.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Unique person, unless, of course, there's humility, and I think
when jazz Chisholm does the Soto strut, the Sodo shuffle.
I think, can you describe? I don't think i've seen it.
Can you tell our listeners what this come on? Souffle
is Yeah, when he's in the batter's box like he yeah, yeah,

(50:12):
you describe it for a show. When he's in the
batter's box and he's taking a pitch and he does that,
he leans into it and he does that.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
So he's like Tony Purkis from Heavyweights where he's doing
the slide thing.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
You know, what it is is exercise.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
If Sodo likes Jazz Chisholm, it's Omasha Soto and Sodo
tips his hat like I saw what you did. And
that's funny, and that's camaraderie and it's baseball and it's
fun I find no problem there. It's when you don't
like that person, it becomes a jab. Yes, all right?
Your phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
at Covino and Rich his imitation the best flattery? Is

(50:49):
it a fair move or week move? Is it case
by case? Your thoughts? Brian Vegas, You're on the show.

Speaker 6 (50:56):
Hey, how's going guys? Love the show? Thank you, Buddy
Rich shout out th out, but Monty filling in valuably
nice job, Thank you. I was just gonna wagh and
you guys touched on most of this whole Kobe versus
Jordan and Lebron and how they all. I think it
was because Kobe really like that first game they didn't
have a relationship. The first game they played against each other.

(51:18):
He put his hands on his knees right next to
Jordan and said, asked him about his footwork. A guy
like Jordan that's so meticulous like that and so detailed,
that's how we immediately are in disrespect. I don't know
if I've ever heard of Lebron's approach like that.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
That's the humility of I know you're the goat, and
I want to learn from you and be like you
and maybe one day even be better than you. But
I want to I want to learn from you. And
Jordan and Lebron came in differently. That's not everybody's personality.
Lebron was crowned when he was in middle school. It
was a different vibe coming in and maybe that's what
Rubb and Jordan took that personally as they say. And

(51:55):
that's also been a topic of discussion all week because
of Lebron speaking on McAfee about how he doesn't have
a relationship with Jordan. Perhaps that's why. So think about it, guys,
and I'll give you the quote one more time. Imitation
is especially if it's someone you appreciate, or you like

(52:16):
or you're okay with. Imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery that mediocrity could pay to greatness. So Chisholm doing
the shuffle.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
I'm cool with it.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
We got games to play and co prizes to give away,
prizes to give away, and we do it next, enyg.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Yeah, coming up next, we're gonna bring it back. We
had fun with it last Friday. Steve Covino or Bill Belichick.
All you have to do is guess if the fun
fact is about Steve Covino or Bill Belichick, and you'll
walk away with one of our coveted seeing our stainless
steel swiggies. I don't really care about that.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
And again your phone calls now at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox, we got more Covino and Red.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Next, let's go.

Speaker 8 (53:06):
Steve Covino and Bill Belichick has some things in common.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Bill Belichick's the man.

Speaker 8 (53:11):
They both have younger girlfriends named Jordan.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
He ain't the man if that was my daughter.

Speaker 8 (53:16):
They both have a powerful presence in the sports world.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Look harder, so you can do that when you're seventy two,
You tell.

Speaker 8 (53:23):
Us is it's Steve Cavino or Bill Belichick.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
I'm not mad at him at all. I want to
know what it is. Yeah, they're basically like the same guy.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Apparently, when we were on vacation a few weeks ago,
it dawned on Rich that both of us, both Bill
and I were on vacation with our younger.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Girlfriends, both named Jordan.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah, but he was doing like aerobics on the beach
with her, and I was also on the beach, and
we decided to play a game, or make a game
out of it.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I think this game is harder than the last one.
Standing is called Steve Covino or Bill Belichick. Spotty boy
right over there, how's a Cohen? Moncy is also going
to take part. Iowa Sam myself, Danny g And we'll
get you on the studio line right now, Mancy, I'll

Speaker 8 (54:38):
The guys again, that's right, Marnie.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Here's how the game works. I've done extensive research on
coach and Coveno and their young girlfriends. Each member of
the crew here is going to read a fun fact,
and then you gotta tell us is it Steve Covino
or Bill Belichick? And you got to get too correct
out of five chances okay, two out of five to
win a swiggy. This is sweet. These are sweet gods.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
The swiggy is a beautiful stainless steel water bottle cn
R and FSR water bottle.

is Covino or Belichick.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
I'm beck No, that was a trick question.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Now, believe it or not. I need to look at me.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
I mean, people think I'm Filipino, I'm Hawaiian, but really
I am a quarter Irish.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
That's Mexican and Italian. Today I trust trust me. In
the month of March, we heard him bragging about this
almost the whole You know what it is my my dad.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Who is Steve Covino Senior. He never says he's Irish
because he's Coveno. He's Italian coast. So a lot of
people don't know that the hair Covino's but is actually ginger.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
But all right, learning it's okay, you have four more
chances here, all right, spot is gonna body's reading the

to Jordan during a basketball game. Covino or Belichick, I'm
gonna take does seem like something you would do in defense?

Speaker 1 (57:27):
I might have done that in the past, but recently
it went viral that it was actually Bill Belichick that
did that.

I mean, I fall asleep during most movies she puts on.
That doesn't count though, and.

Speaker 1 (57:38):

He as college football. It was a collegiate football player

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
And I wanted to mention a show that my wife
and I were late to the party on, but it's
so worth checking out on Paramount Plus. This came out
in late twenty twenty four. Land Man now spat. Remember
some of our listeners hit us up about this Billy
Bob Thornton show. It's a Taylor Sheridan show. Who's behind Yellowstone?

Speaker 7 (01:03:12):
Yes, and every possible spinoff of that show has I
hear It's an incredible show, same level.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Yeah, because we're already into nineteen twenty three and it
was eighteen eighty three before that. And land Man is
fabulously done. Ali Larder is his wife, an ex wife
and then wife again in the show to be more's
in it. Great cast, great storyline, worth checking out. Land Man.

Speaker 7 (01:03:34):
He really has become like the male Shonda rhymes, you
know how, like chadaa Had, like Gray's Anatomy and all
those like dramas for women Our Taylor Sheridan has every
drama pople could want for men.

Blood In Blood Out.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
He is a badass in this show, and he's so
good in the show. A couple of NBA games to
take note of for Sunday, Monsier Clippers are at Cleveland
