Speaker 2 (01:39):
A NBA game last night that I feel like left
everyone disappointed unless you're a Timberwolves fan. I did love
the Anthony Edwards lap around crypto, but anytime you run
out of gas, it's disappointing. That was seen to happen
to the Lakers. So we're going to talk about some
of the feedback from coach JJ Reddick. We're gonna go
(02:00):
old school, like you said, some funny cartoon conversation. There's
a dilemma in the NFL that I don't think enough
people are thinking about yet. Does an NFL dilemma that
you're gonna go, oh, what would I do? It's a
matter of But we're also supposed to talk about records,
how sports records being broken. So look, whatever we don't
have time for, we're doing over promised. That's later today
(02:23):
four pm on Fox Sports Radio show YouTube page. Four
pm on the West set, seven pm on the East.
So no, four pm on the West, seven pm on
the East. You said that of these ten years out yep,
so I said I did with cue tips and people
say that's not good.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, you're not supposed to stick them all the way?
What you're supposed to clean your ears with it? I
don't know. You need one of those weird things to
wash your ears out? Just the tip? Yeah, just a tip. Bridge.
But I have a question.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Has anyone bought one of those infomercial items where it's like, here's.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
A camera you could test your phone and go in
your ear. It works, It's amazing and it's fascinating. Man,
I wish I did. Did you find the work boot
in a license plate? What's in there?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
My ears are a lot cleaner than I thought. But
those things are cool, I feel like, and they work.
That would just be careful, be careful with it, Sam.
I'm convinced poke yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I see these videos on social media, like we will
give you mine you want it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Can you share those things?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't think it's like sharing a toothbrush. Rich doesn't know?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Rich shares the toothpreshure with his wife? Any any share
socks with his wife? All right, Well, first of all,
you can't say something like that without explaining.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Does you really need explanation? Does?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Because I don't share toothbrush with my wife in a jam.
If you're on a one night trip and you're like,
oh crap, I forgot my I'll pass d you're supposed
to share. She kisses him. I think you know what
else she does and what I do. You don't worried
about a toothbrush, And I mean that's true. But yeah,
that's where I draw the line.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And wash socks too.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, as the old expression goes, people are willing to
uh blank by the toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is when you draw the line. It's like celebrities.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
We don't care about their houses, their cars, their jewelry,
their opulence. But Katie Perry goes to outer space, and
that's where the line is.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Outer space.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I guess, I guess so, and socks I do share.
I'm like that dude from uh love is blind.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Remember that the girl on the show who had a
sock bin for the family. But you know what's.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Misleading and unfortunate about admitting that you have a beautiful wife. Yeah,
it makes it seem like she has giant man feet
if you share socks with her. Doesn't she doesn't. Oh
you have petite feet?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Or Rich wears like size sixes fluffy feet.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I got little. There was his little tootsies. He wears
finger toe socks, so grippy things. I say, there are
times where, speaking of SpongeBob, they'll be.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Riches sucks.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
There'll be times where my wife and I will share
socks if they're.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Like a bag of gold toe socks.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You buy a target or something about you be a
man and wear your own socks. I don't get it. Rich,
where is the ones with the little ball on the heel?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Stop it?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, a little little uh stop, a little low boy
so little poofy balls on the.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Back of my sock. So anyway, well let's get into it.
But I digress. I had a point. You had no point.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's possible. Now I'm thinking, did I have a point?
Maybe you saved me from no point. I know you
wanted to jump off the show talking about hood rat things.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Oh I did, But now I feel like I missed
out on something even better. You gotta fast forward. Sometimes
fast forward miss the point.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
There's a story today before we get into all the
meat of the show, NFL dilemmas, JJ Reddick Old school.
I saw a story, and I think everyone in the
studio has kids or have been around NISA's nephews. You
know you got kids in the neighborhood. I want you
to put in your mind a seven year old and
a five year old. Maybe your kids are that age.
(05:40):
My daughter's seven and my son's five. Yeah, not a
lot going on with seven and five year olds, meaning
like they're still little. They could barely wipe themselves. They're
still picking their nose. Your niece and nephew that live
out here in La James and Gwenny hell.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Today, they're around the same age. I think, like eight
and four.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Like, you wouldn't leave them alone. They're not at that age.
You don't really let him out of your sight. Seven
and five. That's kindergarten and what first second grade. There's
a headline today and I was like, this can't be true.
Seven year old who wanted McDonald's drives ten miles with
his little sister.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yes, I saw this. A seven year old.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Boy was like, hey, come on, I want the new
Minecraft toy and some Nuggies. You know how hungry you
must be. Seven year old boy, five year old girl.
I believe the parents are not feeding this kid.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Danny G. We talk quite a bit. You've been to
my house. I know your kid. You know my kids.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Can you imagine my son and daughter steal in my
car and driving?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
How is that even possible?
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Well, you read how it was possible, or did you
see the news clip?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
They hit things and stuff like that, but always one
using the pedals, one with the steering wheel, Like what
do we do?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well, I don't know if we're talking about two clips.
The one I saw.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
The kid looked it up on YouTube and that's how
he learned how to drive. And it says that he
went through like four intersections and didn't hit anything.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And they right, Yeah, that's wild because and courageous because
when I was a kid, that was like my nightmare,
like my reoccurring nightmare as a kid, Like I was
alone in a car and it starts moving backwards, like I.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Want to do this.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That happened to me and my siblings as a kid
once and I thank god that no car was coming.
My grandfather ran in the house like probably forgot his
pack of cigarettes or something.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I haven't got my smokes, went in the house.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
My little brother on that Remember how back in the
day the shifter was on the steering wheel.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Of course my brother just pulled it down.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
We rolled out of the driveway into the street and
thank god no one was coming.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That scary.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So imagine how scared you were as a kid, right,
I would have never done that. Like, yeah, you had fun,
maybe messing around pressing a few buttons, but imagine being.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Courageous or dumb enough.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I mean, maybe the kid's dumb for I know, to
think that he could drive at seven to McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He's smart. He learned how to drive from YouTube. You
almost want to give that seven year old credit. That's brazen, man.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I couldn't have done that, damn bye, didn't a little
brodie go to we got a cake pock with Starbucks?
When he said no once hopped in your car, Like
what do you do as a parent?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
He would he loves those things. It's oh it's the
worst talking about a ripoff.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
How old is your kid? Again?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
If you don't, maybe he just turned four last year,
So imagine your kid with another kid a couple of
years older, being like, yeah, that seems impossible to me.
But it reminds me of one of my favorite clips
from over a decade ago, early days of Kavin on
Rich what's his name, like Latarian or Latanian? Remember the
kid that was like, I just want to do hood
rat stuff? Yeahs he was also seven. Seven year old
(08:39):
kid stole his mom's car and he said, it's fun
to do bad things, get for a joy ride. He
hit like a bunch of mail boxes and yeah, and
he got in trouble for it. So I just want
to throw it out there before we get into the
fun of today show again, NBA, NFL. Just if you
have little kids, imagine a seven and five year old.
I was saying, you've been at my house, can you
imagine my kid? It's just hopping in the car. Well,
(09:01):
how they went nine miles?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's not How could the boys feet even reach the pedals?
You know?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Gas break? Gas break? Did the scissor get down there
and push the pedals?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
It's only well that's how that other kid got pulled over.
I mean, he had a bunch of things, but the
story rich speaks of where he was doing hood rat stuff.
They said that there was several reports of a kid
that could barely sit over see over the steering. Now,
so yeah, to me, that's amazing that they even made
it somewhat even close to McDonald's. It's also amazing to
(09:35):
think that, well, how many turns and how far was McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Right, Like they to know the directions? You kidding me?
I barely know how to get at McDonald's. Now, it's wild.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And again, these stories, you could laugh about him when
no one gets hurt, right, That's that's really the sentiment
of most stories, right, Like, we're still on standby now
waiting to see what happens to that poor kid in
Pittsburgh that fell out of the.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And right field.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, rag Dolph, I could agree like, man, there's nothing
funny about that, and we could all agree that we're
hoping for some good news. I know he's under critical
condition right now, but the debate is did he jump
or did he fall?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
He fell? He fell, he jumped up, he jumped up,
but felt.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
That makes a lot of sense, but it still looks
like to me, like he got one leg up on
that rail. Like imagine, I get what you're saying, and
that makes a lot of sense, but my eyes are
seeing something totally different. Imagine if you're drunk, which I
think we've all been at least while.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
There was a Reddit.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Article that came out and a lot of people are
saying that he was totally drunk, spilling beer all over himself.
And then in that moment of excitement, he got got
up so fast that his momentum took him forward. Yeah,
not to make light of it, but an inning before
Kavino's right, they said that he ripped his own shirt off,
poured beer over his own Yeah, using the zone maniac mode.
(11:00):
And then picture this. You're that drunk big play in
the game. You spring out of your sing, out of
your seat. He sprung out of his seat so far,
not to make light of it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Sprung up like you're imbalanced. Yeah, your balance on your
fee under your.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, that all makes sense, but that's not what you
kind of see though, right, I don't know, it looks different.
Everything you're saying, Rich that makes total sense. It seems possible,
but we're all wishing him the best. What I'm hoping
for is that the point is he's hurt. You can't
really make fun of that. I'm saying, goodness, these kids
are safe, so yeah, let's have fun at their expense.
I'm saying in weeks from now, I would love that
(11:35):
if this kid did like a lighthearted interview somewhere he
recovered and he's like, man, what a crazy drunk bird brain.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I'm so hoping that's the case.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We can only help for this kid, right, No, No
one wants to see someone that the injury or kill
themselves at the ball. My dad has to see this clip. Unfortunately,
it's hard to watch, but that was like his fear always,
like my dad would ruin a game for me as
a kid because like I can't set it up here.
I feel like I'm gonna like he would have like
a height thing.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I can't do it. What do you mean you can't
do it?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
These are a seat by the way. Cavino was at
a Yankees game. You might remember this. You've told the story.
This is a true story. I was at the Yankee
game when my buddy Sean Sean the lawyer Rich knows
them and it's a memorable moment that you may have seen. Again,
funny because the guy was fine. We're sitting there and
all of a sudden we see a guy fall over
the stands. But he fell into the netting. Do you
(12:27):
guys remember seeing that clip and then he has to
crawl his way up from the net.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I was at that game. We're like, whoa or.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That clip that you love where the guy jumped through
the end zone and caught the extra poss that's one
of the best. I always joked and said that was
Rich's dad. Yeah, we're just dad when he caught that
field goal. That was when he jumped into the stands.
But again, everyone timing of that is just insane. Everyone,
you know, send your good vibes to that kid in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
People fall at baseball stadiums. They fall from the stands
way too often, like this woman. Remember the fat woman
and naked gun that fell on Reggie Jaccent.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's what's just the.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Beginning of the you know, it's well, those some of
the angles you feel like you're gonna fall. It's really
wild to see it actually happen, like you know, twenty
something feet, twenty seven feet or whatever. He fell just
hope he's all right. You know where they say that's
the most extreme I've never been. I don't know, dB,
you're a golf guy, I don't know if you're a
tennis guy. US Open in Queens they say that that is.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
PC people talk about how if you were up high
and you're one of the people like your dad, that's like,
I don't know, my dad would not sit there. It
apparently is like you are looking straight up.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Yeah, it's scary, well up high it so far here
and Los Angeles is like that. It's steep, like you
feel like if you slip, you would tumble straight down.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I was supposed to for a tennis venue because the
court is so small that you really can't spread it
out because you'd be far away, so they try to
stack yeah in that way. Well, you know what's gonna happen.
We're gonna see major changes moving forward.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
They're gonna have a wall twenty feet high or some
sort of plexiglass because think about why we have the
nets there and Fell territory in the first place, because
a kid was hitting the head right with a line drive.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So then nets go up.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, adults, I remember one clip I always tell Richess.
No one ever remembers, and there's no footage at all.
I remember watching an All Star game when I was
a kid. It was an All Star game and Wade
Bogs was a Red Sox and he hits a screaming
line drive into the stands and the camera pans over
into the stands and some guy was like, ah, holding
his neck because he got hating a line drive.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
In the neck. And he's like oh.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And I remember like noticing it as a kid, and
no one really commented on it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So I was like, is that serious? Was he joking
or what?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But sure enough, people were getting hit all the time,
so they put those nets up after this, After this happened,
I guarantee you something's gonna change. They're not going to
allow this to happen again, especially if the guy was
that trunk and he fell over like that.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
No way.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Remember when OJ was in a wheelchair and Frank Drebin
I pat him on the back. You said you weren't
going to joke about this, Oh, I well, I'm joking
about naked gun No.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
No. But you know what, Rich, if you haven't seen
the clip, that's sort of what it looks like it
looks fake. It looks like, wow, is that real or
like some weird AI as Danny g put it didn't
look real because he really ragged oulled over the rail.
All right, So don't do hood red stuff. Be careful
at stadiums. I think we learned some lessons already here
on Cavino and Rich Now, Danny J I know how
(15:17):
it feels to come in to work when you work
in the world of sports the day after your team loses.
I love the fact you have the pride to where
your Lakers had today.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I noticed it. I noticed it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I just feel like even the casual NBA fan, even
if they wanted the Lakers to lose, eventually, a first
round exit just stinks.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's really does know the way to put it. It just stinks.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Ye disappointing, But I've been through this with my favorite
baseball team, Dodgers, a couple seasons in a row, had
the same sort of exit, and you know, you feel
fortunate to be there. You don't want to go out
that quickly. But obviously there's a lot of reasons on
why the Lakers fell short.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, you would have assumed.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I mean I thought for sure that it would they'd
win last night at home and then eventually maybe lose.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, right off the bat door.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I think people forget how good the Minnesota Timberwolves, as
Monty says, were last season, how deep into the playoffs
they went last season.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And I think now I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I mean I'm wrong quite a bit, but something we're
gonna go over on over promise because we have so
many other things to get to now. But I want
to want to think about this and join us after
the show because we have that. Our bonus video pod
is Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And the t Wolves.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Is that the fun story if your team's out of it? Like,
is an easy rooting interest, like Yo, Anthony Edwards, fun
young kid, Minnesota's never won before.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
That's the key, right, the small market team him smoke.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Like to see the Anthony Edwards that took out Lebron
Luca Lakers, and to see him move forward and see
him take out other teams. Yeah, that'll be, like, man,
the birth of this legacy.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Because or on the other side, Rich the mecca of basketball.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Madison Square Guard and the Knicks. I mean that might
be the match up there, dude. Yeah, people want to
see I just think they're so teams that if you
told me it was going to be Denver Nuggets Boston Celtics,
nay to me, well deserved great franchises and organizations, but
Luca versus the Celtics again would sort of be not
(17:16):
tickleing my waveless at all, to be honest. So hey,
we'll get to that on over promise. But when it
comes to the Lakers, Danny, you were sending us a
bunch of articles about JJ Reddick.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Yeah, and the latest one from bleacher Report, he he
says that the team needs to get into championship shape.
I'll say the conditioning you saw in the fourth quarters
where they had leads earlier in the series, and then
last night with that small ball lineup that Reddick was
going with, which he's getting a lot of crap for,
they were able to come back and tighten the game
(17:49):
up and tie it at one point, go ahead by
a point or two at one point. But you could
see towards the end of the game, just like the
previous playoff game, they started to stand around the three
point line and the offense was not moving fluidly. And
that's a problem. Small Ball gives you an advantage, why
because Supposedly you could run up and down the court
(18:11):
and use your your speed to your advantage and maybe,
you know, find some mismatches on the floor open things up, right,
But when the offense gets stagnant and starts standing around,
remember that stretch where the game was tied eighty two
to eighty two, it seemed like forever, and the guys
when they're standing around tired like that, and Reeves is
(18:31):
chucking up threes and Lebron starts chucking up threes, Yeah, exactly,
that's what I Yeah, for sure, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
There was there was one moment and I don't want
to lazily add to the Luca conditioning narrative, That's not
what I'm trying to do. But there was a point
where remember when Luca went in for that layup and
he was convinced he was fouled and he really wasn't,
and he just missed the lamp. His body language from
that point on, with a couple of minutes left in
the game was like, well, it's not that not a
(19:01):
conditioned right, Like imagine you telling Lebron like he needs
to condition better. You look at you like you're telling
me it's championship shape. I believe that was the quote.
Take a listen to JJ Reddick.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I'll start with the offseason and the work that's required
in an offseason to be in championship shape.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
And that's the key.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
You know, we have a ways to go as a rosstar,
and certainly there are individuals that were in phenomenal shape.
There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.
That's where my mind goes immediately is you know, we
have to get in championship shape.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I love this for multiple reasons.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It takes the heat off of him and his decisions
right his coaching though, because it's getting criticized, and it
also exposes the truth here because be real about it,
these are all great teams, and every great team is
looking for that mismatch with that edge. And the edge
here was they weren't as in championship shape as the Timberwolves.
It could be an age thing or just a conditioning thing.
(20:05):
And it was so noticeable when the casual fan had
noticed this, you know there's an issue, and he pointed
it out, and he's right about it. I think that
was what really separated and it's a shame that the
Lakers didn't necessarily get out, played out conditioned.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I certainly don't want to make an excuse for the Lakers,
but do you.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Think in all season, a couple more moves and now
Luca and Lebron a full year together, will make a
difference Next year? I know we're running out of We're
running out of Lebron time, Like, well, you've take it.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Do you remember the narrative right after the trade happened,
we heard a lot of especially talking heads on TV,
say the Mavericks won this trade short term, but the
Lakers won this trade long term because they could build
around Luca now. But then Ad got hurt and people
kind of forgot that take, and now we're at where
we're at right now. But remember a lot of people
knew this team was incomplete because of defense, because of
(20:56):
the lack of size going into the.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Playoffs, and Lebron refused to talk about what they need
moving forward because of the lack of so his actual future, yeah,
and his actual future. But yeah, it was sort of deflating, disappointing,
like that was it. You guys can even get out
of the first round. They couldn't win at home one
more game? Nothing, And I mean, unless you're a Timberwolves fan.
(21:18):
I'm happy for our boss who was there with his family.
I'm happy for him, not the GISs azz, but other
than that, it's like, oh man, I wanted to see
it extend a little further than that shows some fight.
I do believe that it had to do with the conditioning. Rich,
we should have some contract talks today, hey, based on
that could mood.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Yeah, good conditioning Covino And let's be honest, Reddick, as
much as he did a good job for his first year,
because you know, that's another thing. Think back to when
the season started. Oh what a joke of a higher
nineteen wins for this guy. Watch you do it a
podcast last week.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know, he's coaching fifty win season.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
He did a great job in the regular season, especially
with all the stuff that happened throughout the year.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But he did get out coached in the playoffs. But
he's a rookie coach, and Lebron spoke very highly.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
He said, you know, he can confirm that they have
a great coach moving forward, and he was impressed for
his buddy and his first year coaching. Now, based on
that though, Rich right, Reddick calling out the conditioning to me,
that's conditioning, coaches, trainers, the players, they're eating, habits everything,
they're not in championship shape. It's JJ Reddick, he's the coach.
(22:23):
Does it matter who you get advice or criticism from? Yes,
because I think JJ Reddick. I think the record shows
that where he lacked in talent, no one ever questioned
his conditioning work, ethic and hustle on the court. So
I think JJ Reddick. It's not like he's some lazy
slob saying, you know, my team needs to be more conditioned.
(22:43):
This is a guy that, even as a coach, is
a guy that's in shape, you know, not far removed
from the court, always a guy that seems very disciplined.
I'll give you an example I mentioned recently. You know.
In fact, I'll say my analogy because it's a good one.
Uh oh, which has an analogy, and the analogy is
calling out some people that are gonna be very upset.
(23:03):
So does it matter who you get criticism or constructive
criticism or advice from?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Does it matter who it's from?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Is the question based on JJ Reddick saying they need
to condition better, they need to be.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
In championship shape.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Plus, what are the top ten selling NFL jerseys after
the draft draft was a week ago. What are the

When the Mets are playing well, Juan Soto stinks, And
when Wan Soto's playing well, the Mets stink.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I can't explain it.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I have met fan friends that are like, man, Soto's
been stinking. I'm like, yeah, they're in first place with
the best record in baseball.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
But that's just life rich.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Like you're having a great day, but your kids are miserable,
or you come home, ey, honey, what's up and she's
in a bad mood. In those days, she comes home
and she's feeling sexy, You're like, yeah, whatever, get out
of my face. Can't just can't it just just go right?
Can everything line up?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Is what you say?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
We're Cavino and Rich broadcasting live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios. We have lots to get to in eighteen minutes.
Old School and fifty Hits. He liked that math right,
Old School and fifty Hits. We do it every Thursday.
We throw it back and reminis and it involves cartoons. Okay,
so we're gonna talk about that because it's an anniversary today.
(25:24):
But the reason, the reason Cavino brought up Sodo is
that the Mets, who are like the hottest team in baseball,
lost two in a row. The guess who finally got
hot the last two days one Sodo? Two home runs today,
a couple hits yesterday. So Soto got hot.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So say your team would be better off without him?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's the thing, because there was a lot of speculation
on his body language, like he doesn't look happy team,
but the team's winning man. Come on, It's just one
of those like my dumb net fan friends that were like, oh,
come on, Soda. I'm like, who cares? He'll get hot eventually?
Who cares?
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Two games around? Betsless?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
All right, Now back to what we were discussing the
numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox again. Hope
you had a Rockets Timberwolf swort tonight. Some big games tonight,
Nick Pistons, Nuggets, Clippers will be talking about it. If
not here on over promised dar Bonus show Fox Sports
Radio's YouTube page. Immediately after this show, JJ Reddick, he's
(26:19):
being scrutinized today, I mean deservingly. He made some interesting moves,
but again his rookie season. He did, however, say that
it came down to conditioning. They weren't in championship shape.
And I think that's such a great and obvious point,
but a really great point, like if you're gonna beat
these younger teams too, these Andy Edwards like teams, and
(26:41):
Rudy was playing his ass off last night, you gotta
be in tip top shape. And it looked like they
were gassed to play hole.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Plain it second half though, in Game four, Covino NBA
history in the playoffs, nobody ever in the history of
the NBA playoffs had ever had the same lineup play
the entire second half.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
And there was a lot of scrutiny that he overextended
Lebron the game before, right, So it looked like they
ran out of gas. It didn't look like they got
out played. They were in it until the end because
they ran out of gas. So championship shape, but it's
coming from the coach, It's coming from JJ Reddick. So
my question to Rich and to the Fox Sports Radio
(27:20):
nation is and to everybody, does it matter who the
advice comes from, or the scrutiny or the criticism comes from,
because we live here in California, right, rich, And I
hear a lot of people like, yeah, that crappy state you're.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
In, and I'm like, have you ever been here? Then
shut up? Because the zip or zippy it's pretty. I
don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear
about it, like you've never been here? Hey, do you
ever come and visit me? Now? So zip it?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So to me, it does matter where it's coming from.
If someone's never traveled and they're telling you about different places.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I know, wait, you read it in a magazine. Yeah,
it makes it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I've heard people be like, oh, here, it's beautiful. I'm like, yeah,
you hear you' have you been there?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
So you know?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Just based on that example, a lot of times it
does matter to me where it's coming from. I don't
want to hear your I want to hear Anthony Boordine's
take on it. I want to hear how the food
was from him, not from you, because you heard.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Can I can? I tell you?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I think this is a no brainer. Who it comes
from is the only factor for me. In fact, I
hate to be rude. And that's why we make it clear.
We're hey, we're fans first, right and I hate to
be rude, but I have to go at you on
one of these Oh boy me, I mean, I'm throwing
it all vague and throwing it now.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You're coming at me.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I gotta come at you when it comes from where
the advice comes from comes from.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'll save the one for you because you'll be insulted.
Come at me, Bro, you can come at me, Bro.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I don't care if one of my broke friends, I
don't care what you say, because again, it is who
is coming from you think I care.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
What you say.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
If one of my broke friends who lives in a
beat up apartment starts telling me about a stock I
should buy, my first thought is like, yeah, sorry, Bro,
you're not You're not You're you're uh, You're not leming bros.
You're not Morgan Stanley, You're not. I'm not taking money
advice and investing advice from my broke friend who lives
(29:06):
in a you know, beat up apartment is in a
shoe Yeah, I gotcha. I once got a free training
session at a new gym I signed up for. You're like,
here's your personal trainer. I was in better shape than
the trainer. I'm like, no, this ain't gonna work I
my trainer again, to be fair in this discussion, right,
based on JJ Reddick's criticism, he's the coach. Mike who
(29:27):
runs this place makes a good point. You know, he
shares words of wisdom all the time, Mike who runs
this place. That's why the old saying goes those who
can't teach, those who can't teach or coach, so that
all the time. What about that personal trainer for the
fun of the discussion, because hey, maybe this guy has
bad genetics and he's a little overweight, but he knows
(29:49):
what he's talking about. No, if I go to a
gym and pay for a personal trainer, this guy better
look like Dwayne the Rock Johnson with a shirt off.
This guy better he better looked like ravishing Rick Rude
at nineteen. I'm not gonna have about Sylvester Sloane in
Rocky Ford.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, I'm not going to go to.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
The gym and have some guy that looks like Charles
Barkley tell me to tell me about my workout.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah. But look at these boxing trainers.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You think they're all like they're all out of shape
and old, but they know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I'm gonna I'm gonna hit Danny Wood one because I
know he feels this way. Danny.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Back in your radio days when you were doing more
hip hop and music, when a program director would criticize
some of you did on air, and you're.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Like, you're not even on air. Oh yeah, if you
knew how to be on air, why aren't you on it?
Do you know?
Speaker 6 (30:35):
He was our general manager at the time, and he
was a president of programming, and like once a month
he would air check us our morning show. So he'd
sit down with me and the other morning co host
and he would critique us. Right, So, there was a
like a game we did on the air, and during
the air check meeting, he said, ha, he did this
really wimpy giggle. He's like, I love that. After the
(30:57):
meeting was over, my co host looked at me and
he's like, scratching, we're doing that game again.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Again.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
When when you're being critical or you're grading your hosts
in radio, it's called an air check, and bosses go
over to things you talk about. I respect the people
that have been there, done that, no matter what the industry.
I'll give you a couple more examples, just because I
overly give examples.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
You could criticize that. No, that sounds fine.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I mean we're just speculating the JJ reddick thing I
once had. And this again, I don't mean to sound mean,
but I once had someone give me some parenting advice.
Their kids were grown because what their kids don't talk
to them. I'm like, why am I going to take
parenting advice from someone who's kids grown up to not
want to talk to their parents. I was talking about
(31:44):
how after baseball or softball practice, you know, once a
week or every couple weeks, I'll bring my kids to
mcdonald'scause they want a happy meal. And someone on one
of our listener pages was like, oh boy, oh boy,
you're lucky they didn't take the car on their own. Dad,
You're only seven. I've the criticism was like, man, I
(32:06):
don't take my kids for fast food that much. I
clicked on some of these profiles and they and the
kid that looks like.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
King Kong Bunty's telling me telling me about health. Oh well,
and guy look he looks like tugboat.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Some guy that looks like Yoka Zuna in fas like
Bam bam biggle tell him me about health and fitness
and then I'll give you one more because I had
to make fun of you. Sometimes, you know, we'll rave
about a restaurant or a steakhouse, and the fact that
you get your steak well done makes me think, I
don't know if I could really trust your steakhouse and ell.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Want to go there? I can't. You want to go there?
If you tell me? Please? You well done in ketchup.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
But you tell me this guy and this got the
same guy who wants to tell me about his vacation
destination but never leaves the resort.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
That's a fair one.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
You're gonna tell me about that country. You've never seen it.
You stayed at the resort the whole time you.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Saw the holiday inn. Yeah, exactly. Can I tell you
it's a fair criticism. No, it's a fair one. Hey,
you know what, look at it.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
But if Cavino says to me, bro the full at
was great and he got it, butterflied well done.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
And dips it saw its charge. You know, I've had
a lot.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Of feedback to saying like the excuse of running out
of gas is so soft too from today's perspective, Like
what a soft excuse?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
The fact that you ran out of gas.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
So your thoughts on that, you could think what you want,
and it does sound kind of soft like you you're
supposed to be in championship shape.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
This is your job.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
But it does seem to be true and it seems
to be what happened in this series.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Let's go to Dan Buyer for an update, DV. What's
going on? Man? Dan never runs out of gas. This
guy's always read it at all. He always has.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Guess you, guys, you know I just had dejan vous
with Cavino and Rich. You want to want completely separate.
You've talked about this on the show before. You ever
go to a sporting event like a decade ago and
still get stuff from that same team.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yes, I still get Washington National emails every day.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
He has.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I went to a Browns game in two thousand and
eight and I just got an email to download the
official Brown's mobile app today. So it's been seventeen years.
You're back, Yes, they do.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You know it's even worse though, Dan, as you've had
seventeen years to unsubscribe and you haven't.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Correct because there may be that one thing that I'm hey,
I look at my Browns emails all right? Game six
is tonight Nixon Pistons, Nuggets and Clippers. Pistons try to
stay alive there at home, Nicks up three to two,
Clippers trying to do the same at home in LA
with the Nuggets up three to two in that series.
You won't be seeing John Halliburton at any future Pacers
playoff games. That's for the foreseeable future. The father of
(34:35):
Tyrese Halliburton will not be attending games. After meeting with
the Pacers' front office, he accepted the outcome. According to
the ESPNIS, he was the one who taunted Giannison Tetakumpo
following the Pacers went over the Bucks in Game five
on Tuesday. Sons are making a change in the front office.
GM James Jones is going to be reassigned to a
senior advisory role with the team, with Phoenix promoting vice
(34:55):
president Brian Gregory to be their new general manager. Rodriguez
has been scratch from the Kentucky Derby because of a
foot bruise. The twelve to one favorite was slated to
start from the four posts in the run for the
Roses coming up. On Saturday Day, Baseball Rich's Mets fell
to the Diamondbacks four to two. The silver Lining won,
Soto two home runs solo shots in defeat. Reds beat
(35:17):
the Cardinals nine to one. A's blank the Rangers three nothing,
White Sox blank, the Brewers eight nothing. Royals won in
Tampa against the Rays eight to two. Comes down the
Pirates eight three twins and Guardians. It's been raining in Cleveland.
They're in another rain delay, tied up at two in
the eighth. Guys, back to you, Thank you, dB.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
The best in the land, and we're gonna get to
your feedback and phone calls plus old school in fifty
hits live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Rich I
thought it. Two more examples and I'll get to them next.
Sound good, sounds great. Some gasoline burning that gasoline audio
safe style. Looked like the Lakers ran out of gas
(35:57):
last night. They're not in champion chip shape. Now. If
you cared about all your vatoslokos, she would have played
Gasolina by Daddy Yeche. No man, I care about all
the Turbonians from Turbonia. I'm on Turbo every night on
Sirius X. I'm playing hard rock of the nineties and
the Zeros. But I'm here every day speaking of zeros
with this guy, Rich Davis and Rich the greatest of
(36:19):
all time. We're the goats of duos. How about that
Cavino and Rich, we got Danny g We got Iowa Sam.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
It's a whole team effort. dB is here and Spot
is where in the hell is Spot? And Spot is
where the hell is.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios and his
time for our tire rack play of the day. Right
when the Lakers hit a couple of threes in the
fourth quarter to make the game tight, Mike Conley Jr.
Answered right back. He answered right back, He answered.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Ride back, cross them up top of the keat drifts
left now with taxi into the lake.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Check out Coley in the corner.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Free Bolly got its corner pocket for Mike Conley.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
One ninety four clutch from Mike.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
And that is the play where Minnesota, in my mind,
eliminated the Lakers four games to one. Courtesy of kf
AN one hundred point three And that is our tirect
play of the day. From a forty years, ti Iracts
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive. Ship Fast and free Back by
Free Road has a protection and the convenience of mobile
tire installation tireck dot com the way tire buying should be.
(37:36):
And although I was rooting for the Lakers, I was
happy to see the Timberwolves move on, for the city,
for the franchise, for Edwards, and most of all for
our boss because he's a big fan. And I'm kissing
as that's what I'm doing. Hey, I was saying, I
love the Left, you know, hanging for a second. I
was two days in a row there I got.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I don't have it ready. Sometimes the play the day
sneaks up on you. It's all good. Handler pulled down.
You know what I think. You're a lack of conditioning. Yeah,
you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
He was out of gas, you know, real quick. Twenty
second story, Sam, The worst time this ever happened to us.
We were hosting an event in Mexico. Picture this. It's Maxim.
Remember when magazines mattered? It was Maxim spring Break. Covino
and I are on a microphone in front of thousands
of spring Break students giving away prizes in money and
you know, like hot body contest, booty shaking contest. When
we're done doing the contest, our job was to kick
(38:24):
it back to the DJ. I remember his name too,
DJ rock City, DJ rock I never forget it because
it was a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
So we're done with this contest. Crowds going us.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
We're like, yeah, we're Covino and Rich Maxim DJ rock City.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Drop that beat, crickets rock rock City, DJ rock City.
Then you got.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Thousands of spring Breakers booing us.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
We looked that dude, They're throwing T shirts back at us.
Drop that beat.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
It was a nightmare. It was like those MTV spring
Break events. And we turned to the DJ booth. The
dude had run on a bathroom maker. Yeah, me and
Rich start doing a dance routine to try to like entertain.
It was so embarrassing, can you know, so on a
beatboxing like he was vanilla iceaw so awkward. So anyway,
before we move on, look at the clock. I do
want to give it. I know, I want to give
(39:17):
you my two least examples that much of you know,
when it matters, does it matter where the advice comes from,
because sometimes those who can't teach.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I think that applies in baseball.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
We see it all the time with coaches, right, so
it's usually the catcher who wasn't that good, But he's
a great leader and a great coach. Wasn't the best player.
Happens all the time. So I think that we're wrong
with our assumption. It's our attitude, like what do you
know about it?
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Because maybe they know a lot, But we're wrong because
we assume otherwise.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
But there are other cases where I know I'm right
because I don't want to hear marriage advice or relationship
advice from you, and I've never seen you in a
relationship before ever, Your buddy, that's perpetually single parental advice.
It's from person without a kid. Scramble am dingda. That's
a good one, right, you know what you can end
it on those. In fact, look at the clock, we're
running out of time. Went fifty hits, there's a certain.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah, what we gonna do is go back.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah all right, so we do this every Thursday. We
get to involved Fox Sports Radio Nations so beat daland
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and at Covino
and Ritt. Now this is a funn easy one. Twenty
six years ago, in nineteen ninety nine, Sponge I Split
my Pants SquarePants debut. So it was the debut of
SpongeBob SquarePants. So with that, I ask you what is
(40:50):
the best adult cartoon? Not the whole smutty things you
see when you're looking up nonsense. I'm talking like, I'll
give you my example. So park right, that might be
number one.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Oh it's not. I'll explain all I will.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Your favorite adult cartoon will go old school next
