Speaker 1 (00:01):
Exit. All right, showtime, Go time. It's our bonus pot
over Parmis, which means the weekends here and this is
episode one seventeen.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So if you're new to our bonus show, lots of
catching up to do, lots of explaining to do, and
of course Monday through Friday, we're on Fox Sports Radio five.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
To seven on the East, two to four on the West.
Covino and Rich just back from the worst Fest. Hey,
I picks that are gonna win us some money. I
want to talk about Tom Brady getting robbed, all our
delusions of childhood riches and of course, unless you don't
want to be on, they might be ass and riches picks.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Getting you ready for week eleven. But let's get into
the biggest story of the week, at least as of
right now. Aside from all the MLB Awards, there's a
lot of controversy about Christy Martin and Sydney Sweeney. Sidney
Sweeney getting a lot of backlash about her portrayal of
Christy Martin and she's the reason why it flopped the
movies Flopen is terrible.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
In the box office, life and more. Oh geez, here
comes her. Oh no, I won't even go there. Oh
I'm too classy for that. But you know what, I
gotta say this, all right, Freddy, you know what the
problem is? All right, James Lennon Junior, you know what
the problem is. It's you, It's me, it's you, it's everyone.
Everyone has whack ass expectations. What did you think? Do
(01:22):
you think this was gonna make hundreds of millions of
dollars in the box office? If this was on Netflix,
if this was on HBO Max, if this was on
Hulu anywhere, we don't watch it. Be like yo, Christy
the story of Christy Morton. No one's going to the
fucking theater to see a boxing movie about a woman.
In the eighties, we all saw Cinderella Man. No, yeah,
every years ago. Everyone cared about James J. Braddock as
(01:45):
a fight fan. I didn't even really know his story.
Dude built a arizontal bridge or whatever. He fought out
of poverty. That was a great story, a great movie.
Guess what we're all Jake Lamata fans. We all know
Raging Bull. A good story is a good story of
regardless of who it's about. Listen to you.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And Christy Martin was a big deal. She was a
big deal, dude. She was one of the first women
on Sports Illustrated. Definitely the first female boxer. Can I
quoe Billy Madison, Dude, she paved a way for women's boxing.
She was forty nine and seven thirty two knockouts. It
was only until Layla Ali schooled her and then she
lost to Holly Holm after that. But she had an
(02:23):
incredible career. Man, she was a must watch, draw, must
watch it. I've never string.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, but bro, you had your head so far up
your ass, that's on you. Okay. She was a big deal,
but her fame sort of fizzled after that. I'll take
she had a great story. I'll take that. But again,
it's our whackass expectations in twenty twenty five. All the
movies you just mentioned were before people were streaming. When
you went to the movie theater. The only thing to
get your ass to the theater now Wicked, Marvel movies,
(02:52):
Top Gun. You need an event. No one's going out
on a Friday or Saturday night instead of Netflix and
chilling or putting on HBO. It's not the world we
live in now. So I would have told you, yeah,
this movie's not gonna make a lot of money. I
feel it gets placement. If this was on Netflix, we'd
all be talking about y'all, Sidney Sweeney, pretty cool biopick?
About that Martin Chick the Boxer. No one gives a
(03:16):
shit because it's in the theater, but it did get
us thinking about biopicks we've watched over the years where
some people really immerse themselves in the character and others
missed the mark.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, so we got three good ones, three bad ones.
Of course you could add to our list. At Covino
and Rich you decide at Fox Sports Radio hashtag over promise,
do you make the call three good ones that we
agree on.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
By the way, the proof is you're not going to
see it, but I guarantee the minute it's on HBO, Prime, Netflix,
you're gonna be the first one to watch it. You
just don't want to.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Get off here, as there's a lot of sour grapes,
a lot of jealousy, a lot of people just hating
on Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That's why Christy Martin herself came out today saying, Hey, everybody,
back off. I fight for women. I'm gonna stand the
first you talk about wienies that were mad at her
jeans ad. There's a lot of people who are just
jealous of who she is. Have a problem with that ad.
You had Ruby Rose other actors saying that, you know,
she was a Cretan and she ruined the movie. There's
a lot of people just hating on her because she's hot.
(04:17):
To quote James Franco, don't be so peanut, butter and jelly.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
All right, Well some of the good ones. Ronnie Mallick
Bohemian Raaps, undeniably great. I think you and I came
up with a top three that is undeniable. He was
Freddie Mercury and I loved him an I Robot, It
was it I Robot.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, oh mister Robot the Robots the movie,
mister Robot Smith. Yeah, he's just a well we're gonna
get to Will Smith. I think he was Freddie Mercury.
This is a great one to put on the top three.
Can I give you another one? Yeah, a guy that
I think he by the end of the movie thought
he was Abe Lincoln Daniel day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln. Unbelievable,
(05:02):
not the Vampire Hunter one like this was like the
actual BioPen I was gonna say, I'm a huge fan
of the Vampire Slayer, but you're right, this one was
good too. He didn't hunt vampires, he did not slave
him hunter or anything. But when he was a Blincoln,
I was like, Yo, this is so convincing. I feel
like him in eighteen sixty five. Fucking fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, he's definitely one of those method guys where he
actually was walking around like he was he blinking and everything.
By the way, goodbye to the penny No more pennies.
It was stopped. They stopped making him this week. Well,
and we're gonna agree, you said, I Robot, maybe he
meant Ititania because Marko Robbie as it. Tanya Tanya Harding
(05:41):
I thought was a great movie. I wasn't expecting that
good movie.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Really. I thought she was fantastic. And who else was
in that before they were super famous? Paul Walter Houser,
he was one of the goods. Yes, Sting, wasn't he
He was one of those dudes in the movie. Yeah,
but we didn't really know him that well back then.
But a really good movie. And you know what, Margaret
Robbie played down the looks just enough because I was like,
(06:06):
you know, you don't want to watch this movie, thinking like, man,
I want to get with Tanya Harding. She played it perfectly,
gave that little redneck vibe. I really think Margaret Robbie
not only beautiful but fantastic. I thought I Tanya definitely
got my attention.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I gotta say, you know, we're not forgetting the Doors movie.
We're not forgetting some of the other greats, right, so you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Can add to the list. We say our favorites. Those
are our favorites, those are ones we agree. I want
to go with the shit list. Oh man, yo, I'm
such a hypocrite here, because how could you say you
hate something if you've never seen it. I couldn't be
convinced by the trailer. I never saw Ali because I'm
like Will Smith, I'm not convinced. I can't. I couldn't
(06:49):
even bro I couldn't even put myself on the mindset.
And when Rich and I agree, it's fact.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I'm not a big Will Smith fan anyway, but I
am a big Ali fan, and I could never accept
him as Muhammed Ali. So maybe the greatest movie ever,
but I'm like, I've seen bits and pieces of it,
but I'm like, I am not supporting.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I do like well, I know, you know, I like Will,
but when he's Ali, all I see is Will Smith
trying to be Ali. Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Can anyone really capture the dynamic personality and greatness of
Muhammad Ali? That's really It's like, even as great as
Will Smith is or could be, it's still not Ali
to me.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I think number two on the bunk list. She could
capture the hotness. But apparently everything was wrong about the
beautiful Anna. The armis as Marilyn Monroe. You know, she's
so hot, she's so talented. But you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I watched a movie and it didn't suck, but I
could never get past the accent. It was like, how
are you Marilyn Monroe with an accent? It was so
I don't say off putting, but it threw you off.
It definitely threw you off.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I mean, they got the looks right, and not to
sound chauvinus, but it was the only part that got right.
Whereas like, all right, yo, she's hot and they gave
her a blonde wig, like.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I mean, yeah, come on, man, you'd be the greatest
actress in the world. You can't get past that and
I'll say this along with Ali Rich and I haven't
seen it, but based on the reviews, based on the reaction,
the only one that seemed to be impressed with The
Smashing Machine was Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I saw him get as standing ovations. He was crying.
But people are saying this movie was ass man. It's
his portrayal of Mark Kerr, the mixed martial art fighter,
the wrestler of the fighter. If you look up a
lot of list of like the worst ones, if you
go out, if you just do your little due diligence,
a lot of people think that uh Ashton Kutcher was
(08:41):
jobs right. Yeah, I didn't think that was that bad.
But that's like on the list of every like these
are the worst. Well again on our list.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
We didn't even see two of the movies, right, but
that one's in the news right now for stinking like
Abe Lincoln, Oh, can I get another good one that
I think it was great? I mean I just meant,
you know, I was just right me your brother. I'm
pretty sure your brother thought that Forrest Gump was based on.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
A true story. He did. Yeah, I'm just kidding. So,
uh Cavino's brother. Tommy Cavino is like, yeah, Tom Hanks,
man is Forrest Gump.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Here's great middle of those presidents here, yeah man.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But you know, believe it or not, it's not a biopic.
If you thought it was, then sorry to ruin it
for you. He didn't run across the country sometimes not true.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He didn't and he didn't uh you know, do Bubba
Gumps trip. Wait, he wasn't responsible for the Watergate scandal.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
But again, I'm not jumping on the hate eyes dance.
No no, and for all we know to Christy Martin,
he didn't come up with no, no, it's not a biopic. No,
it's not a biopick all right? And that takes us too.
Speaking of terrible movies.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
They might be asked every week we deemed someone asked,
And I don't mean to be rude, not trying to
be mean, but hey, listen, there's weeks where we could
be asked. But this week just based on the exper
rush on his face when he's getting crushed by the
Chargers last week, or how about how Mike Tomlin addressed
his performance. What do you think could it be that
(10:08):
Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers might be as sort of
a double doozy. The Steelers might be ass, but Aaron
Rodgers might be ask I'm sure this isn't ai, because
that's not a human face. No, check this. Get this.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
They lose to the Chargers twenty five ten. They're five
and four, they lost three of their last four. But
if you watch, there's just a vibe about them where
they seem old right, and they seem to get tired
and they can't finish by the end of the game.
They're spent, so they're playing lazy and they might be ass.
(10:42):
Rodgers do for one hundred and sixty one yards, one touchdown,
two interceptions, but got rocked. Was on his ass the
whole time, and you see it right there. He got crushed.
And again they just look, they look defeated, they loot defeated,
and there's still a lot of seasons.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The whole ass part of it, the whole they might
be a s is that the Steelers coming up have
not the easiest schedule. Yeah, they're playing the Bengals, but
after the Bengals, they play the Bears and the Bills,
and then you know it's gonna be the biggest game
versus the Ravens because the Ravens are now only one
(11:18):
game behind the Steelers and we're only halfway through the season.
So everyone that wrote off the Ravens, the Ravens might
be very well in it. Lamar's back and you know,
Aaron Rodgers start to look a little old, So Steelers
might be ass And I'll say this to wrap that up.
If they can't beat the three and six Bengals in
week eleven, I think it's official. Hey Aaron Rodgers, how
(11:42):
are you feeling? Oh? My ass. If they don't beat
the Bengals, this official right now, they might be asked.
If they don't beat the Bengals this week, they are asked.
Just don't make me. I hope I'm not. They might
be asked, because then it'll be really bad not rooting
against them. But that's just how it's looking right now.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And that brings us to a story that's fresh off
the press about Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Tom Brady, I don't know if you knew this. He's
partners in a brand called card Vault. Card Vault by
Brady fifty percent ownership of this company, and he talks
about how trading cards is in his DNA since he
was a kid.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I feel like all of us, right, Yeah, he's all
about trading cards and everything. He has stores in Manhattan, Chicago, Boston,
New Jersey, Dallas, Long Island, Blong Guy Island.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah. I was the one that used to go to
the hobby rare coins, rare coins, whatever. But he has
his own card shop and the one in Manhattan was
robbed in October for like ten thousand dollars worth of cards.
Get not just baseball cards, pokeman cards too. So you
know someone really wants Pokemon. You mean Pokemon, Pokemon Squirtle.
(12:52):
I need that squirtle many that Wow, bro, holy shit,
you're not a fan. I might bet I got a
five year old son. I know my I know my Pokemon.
I know it's Pokemon.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But Tom Brady was robbed. Here's a guy who really
can't complain that much, but no one wants to be robbed.
And the story goes like this. Some dude walks into
the Lower Manhattan store and he pulls like ten thousand
dollars worth of cards and he brings him to the
register and his car's declined and the kid's like, sorry, sir,
(13:28):
I'm improvising here now, Sorry, your car has declined, and
he's like, nah, it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And then anyway, and the kid is like sort of
and he does some sort of like magic trick because
he tricks the kid into believing like not so good,
walks out with ten thousand dollars worth of merchandise and memorabilia.
If you're a kid, you gonna you're gonna start hassling
some guy for it. I paid for wait, sir, sir,
and he just walked out with the cars. They got
(13:55):
him on camera and everything, and it was like, if
you know this guy, you mean the guy that has
multiple one hundred million dollar contracts got scammed out of
ten grand? What is Tom Brady ever gonna do? Still?
I know it still sucks.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's still you know what he does. It's his passion project.
No one wants to see him get romped. And he
had just been at that store recently. But it got
us thinking, Cavino and Ranch, we put our knoggins together
with Spotty here, and it got us thinking of cards
that we thought would be worth something. Okay, but they're
not almost like what will you robbed into?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Thinking? Right? I think back to baseball cards. I'll say this,
These were the cards that I try to mass collect.
Because I'm like, one day, oh, this is gonna pay off.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
And for the record, like Rich said, we're still big fans.
Look at this one. I just got this one this week,
Aaron Judge. Rookie, Yeah, call the judge and get some fun.
I get it to people in baseball.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Bro. Look at this one. Got the uniform in there.
Look at that. I got your show. Hey, Rookie. It's uh.
Cards are on a big comeback the last like five years.
But sure when we were kids, let's shout out some
cards that we thought were gonna be valuable. And we were,
as f would say, wrong, And.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
We got to state the obvious because a lot of
these were mass produced or that player really didn't amount
to what we thought.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's one of those it's either they never mounted to
ship or they made a million copies of them, right,
And you could still go to some hobby shops and
buy packs of eighties cards for like five bucks. So
I'm going to the card vault. Oh so yeah, I'm
a big Tom Brady. Can we start with former New
York met Greg Jefferies, because I'm not the only one
that thought he was a future star.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Without without this was a hot card. We thought he
was the next Lenny Dykstra, next Nails even better. We
saw the videos of him swinging the bat underwater like
he had cool workout techniques.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We uh. I even had to score cards, like a
buttload of Greg Jeffries cards. But that was that was
that was the top's future star. I remember being like, yo,
I'm gonna mass collect these. I remember investing a lot
into Greg Jeffries and Tom Gordon to flash Gordon. Well
there was a Yankee, remember Brian Taylor. Yeah, that was
one that I How about this one a card that
(16:02):
we all sought out and I remember thinking like, no,
this is like when he was on Team USA. This
is wild. It was in the traded set. Yeah, the
Mark McGuire Team USA. Now, there are some like PSA
rated tens that are worth a good amount of money,
but if you just have the RANDO one without the
little enblow, like if you got just the regular.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Traded set like fifteen bucks fifteen dollars on eBay, you know.
But this was the one of the holy grails of
our childhood because that was considered his rookie, his USA card.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Mark McGuire, the Bash Brother. No way before he was
in a yeah, before he was in a that was
the card to get. You thought, by now I'd be
worth millions, shouting Shotton. One of my childhood friends, Phil,
who sold all the film Abosak. Yeah, yeah, I know
that guy. Phil convinced all our friends that we needed
to really make sure we acquired as many Upper Deck
(16:53):
Todd Van Poppoles as possible. I should have said, acquire
the McGuire, but you said Van Poppole. The Van Poppole,
I mean another Oakland athletic at the time, Todd van Poppole.
He had, like you know, he was a big leaguer,
but there was a point where we thought Todd Van
Popple was the shit he had.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
No Poppole didn't pan out the way we thought, And
I think the name really stuck with us as kids,
and we believed in it. Get this this card that
we thought would be worth something ten bucks ten bucks again,
ten bucks is ten bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Cavino, it says top prospect. I'm so top prospect upper
Deck and upper Deck was hot bat And by the way,
that was my primo collecting days ninety one. Upper Deck
that was that was like the primo time for me
at least. Oh yeah, early late eighties, early nineties. But yeah,
Todd van Popole, let me throw another name at you,
a guy that clearly did work out, but again mass production.
(17:43):
It wasn't a picture of him. It was the painting
on those Don Russ diamond Kings. The diamond Kings. Yeah,
oh my god, Ken, you gotta get that one. It's
a drawing. You go to the card show and you're like,
you got the Ken Grivy Diamond.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
King and you probably overpaid for Hey, hey, kid, give
me sixty bucks for that.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Again, there's special edition ones that are worth a lot,
but that one, again is like five bucks, five dollars,
five bucks, not worth really what you thought it would be.
And I think the holy grail of what every kid
of the eighties nineties had to get their hands on
was another A. Because the A's were hot, athletics were
big back then, eighty nine champions, the Jose Conseco rated
(18:25):
rookie I still got it in that hard plastic with
the screws on it and everything. And of course he's
a five hundred home run club power hitter, but he's
not in the Hall of Fame. His career is a
little tainted, and it's not worth what we thought. And
to be honest, like all your old cards, the chance
of you having a Don Russ eighty six PSA ten
is unlikely.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
So a regular one twelve bucks, twelve dollars. I think
I'm not even kidding you, because I could picture mine.
I think I paid eighty bucks for it. I paid
eighty bucks for it in like eighty nine or something,
the opposite of inflation. Yes, that was the eighty six
jose Canseco Don Russ rated Rookie. And that's cards that
(19:06):
we thought would be worth a lot more would be
worth something by now, if you want to add to
that again, at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
We were robbed more than Tom Brady. Yeah, Tom's gonna
be okay, I'm not worried about it. All right, how
about we get into some picks. Let's do it. Can
I can I add two of my favorites? Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, like I thought we're gonna be worth you've collected
guard failed kids or yeah, which wrestling cards? You have
cards that were probably like gonna be really valuable, But
like neither of these these players panned out like to anything.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
My Rich Davis card id Hang worth shit I don't know.
Do you see me with the big barrel Easton? I
see those big years, that's all.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But the one that like really tanked and gave me
zero value, if anything, like I have to pay people
just to take it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
My steve a weak Wally Acman stance.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You have the week, the week's stance to hit twenty
seven Little League home runs. Oh yeah, we're grown an
inch since that should be Look at a Union All Star,
right there, bro, Union All Star. You know I kept
my bat like that just to keep my swing level,
hitting line, drive frozen rope poles.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, buddy, sure it's not wear something. I'll give you
five hundred for right now. Alright, alright, this week, burn,
I feel like we got to get back on track.
We've been like we were like five hundred on our picks.
I got a teaser in two bets that I think
are muddy baby, So let's get into it my picks
of the week. Let's start with a teaser. I'm calling
(20:37):
this the not sure how this could possibly go wrong teaser.
Let's discuss. Okay, Baker Mayfield battles even when they lose.
He battles right like, he's not a guy to get smoked.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You're never really pointing your finger at him for not
giving us all, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Now they're playing in Buffalo. But if you do a
teaser and take six points, don't you like the Bucks
getting eleven and a half double digits in Buffalo? It's
not like Buffalo at home has been smoking people. I do,
especially you know, coming after a loss. Yeah, I think
Baker at least keeps it close. So I like the
Bucks getting eleven and a half and the Packers you
(21:16):
know this rumblings of his Jordan love overrated? Is Matt
Lafleur not the guy anymore? I feel like they're playing
at Giants Stadium. I mean it's the floor, by the way,
lafloor seven and a half. So what is it? Seven
and a half point? Doggies seven and a half point
favorites make it one and a half. So you just
need the Green Bay Packers to win by one and
(21:38):
a half against the Giants, and you need Baker to
keep it within double digits. I like that bet, all right.
So that's my teaser. Bat I don't know, I don't
know how that goes wrong. Now my second one, this
is what I'm calling me Yo, it's a mile high statement.
Or am I just high too? You're probably just high high?
(21:59):
The Broncos are eight and two, the Chiefs are five
and four. Definitely, this game's in Denver.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Well, hold on, Rich before you go further, When did
you come up with this last night or today today?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
So it's not I'm not high? Okay, so you're not high?
If last night, though, if the Broncos win this home game,
they would be nine and two and the Chiefs would
be five and five. Has there ever been a game
where it's like, yo, this is an exclamation point, right,
like the Broncos and they're three and a half point underdog.
So even if the Chiefs edge out of victory by
(22:29):
a field goal, you still win the bets. So I
like Denver at home getting a field goal and a
half straight bet. Let's go mile high, let's do it?
Or is Rich just high? You will find out Sunday
even straight now my last bet, if I'm going you
better fu win forty nine ers only two and a
(22:51):
half point favorites in Arizona. Cavino and I are going
to be at the game, Yeah we will on TV.
Brock Purty doesn't look like it's a go, but it
doesn't matter because there's no Marvin Harrison Junior, no Kyler Murray.
If you can't beat this week ass Cardinals team in
Arizona when they're as depleted as you, the Niners should
just win this because even though they suck and they
haven't been playing great, they're still playoff bound right as
(23:14):
of now. So the Niners win this, they improve hopefully
to seven and four. All Right, I'm with you. I'm
gonna be there with you. I hope they win. I
like it. Screenshot it, Screenshot it, screenshot those are your bets.
All right. Well, with that said, have a great Thursday.
We'll be at the game. So if you're in Arizona, hey,
come find us. Say hi. And until later on today,
(23:36):
Aribadacci baby, see you in the over Promised Land. Goodbye. Peace,
