We pick it up tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
And thanks to our good friends at Tractors Supply, they
know about winning seasons, they know about practicing team work,
and that can do attitude.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Thankfully. When you have a neighbor like Tractor Supply, teamwork
comes easy.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You'd rather have a neighbor like Tractor Supply instead of
a neighbor like Dan byer, Hey, not you, you damn it?
Actually neighbor, Well, hey, it takes all those things teamwork, practice,

(01:29):
they are sponsoring ours Fox Sports Radio bracket and you
can see how the host are doing, how the listeners
are doing, and all that could result in twenty five
hondo in gift cards if you come in first place.
Coach Doug, who's on before us, you know, the second
most popular coach on Fox Sports Radio outside of Coach Rich.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Girls eight you Souffa and t ball.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh, coach of the ice Breakers. Yeah, I heard of
coach Rich.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
He's big time out here, the best coach in the
alley for girls softball eight year olds. I had one
kids sports thought in a second, but how's coach Doug
doing in the bracket? I mean he is college you know,
he is a legitimate coach. Is he too inside? Is
he doing well? Am I doing well? Who's winning this?
Could someone look at him?

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (02:18):
I was just gonna say, Doug, I think is tied
for third.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I would imagine, so the guy knows this stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Well, that's the whole thing about it. Doug filled out
a bracket on who had the most money in NIL.
So far it's it's worked out pretty well. Now I'm
not saying that was his.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
Goal, but he used it as a guiding force, guiding principle,
and it's so Steve Hartman, great Steve Hartman. I think
he's still in first, and maybe Brady Quinn is in second.
Last time I checked. There, there you go, top three
right there, all guessing games.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Rich had a dumb hypothetical, but not really recently, like
what happens when some multi billionaire one day just wants
to mess with college basketball? Works in nil. I guess
somehow finnagels a loophole could be if if Jeff Bezos
just for the hell of it, in fact, just for
the smell of it, was like pick the worst college
ever as far as sports Coastal Florida of Saint Francis

(03:15):
your example. We talked about it, no because they were
they were in the tournament. I'm saying, just pick a
team that has like one win. What if Jeff Bezos
was like, you know, I'm going to sponsor the top
fifteen college basketball players give you ten mili each, which
is chump change for a Bezos.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
We want to come to the space of Amazon. Could he.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Automatically buy himself an NCAA tournament championship?

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, I guess like in that way for sure, there's
loopholes behind it.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
If yeah, if they're using their name, image, in likeness, promote, yeah,
through donations to promote whatever product he's pushing or whatever,
then he could find a way to manipulate the outcome
or at least change up a little. Any rich person,
not just a Jeff Bezos, a rich person can manipulate
college sports easily.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
That it's and you know, and obviously would have to
go through whatever process it needs to go through. But
that's also part of the problem is right now there's
exactly nothing to legislate anything. So when they use the
term wild wild West, like, yeah, it kind of is
to that aspect of.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
The lowest ranking team right now is Mississippi Valley State.
So Mississippi that was mine, I said, mister Valley that's hre.
Jerry Rice went right, he did.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
But in men's basketball, women's basketball, football, they're traditionally lately
very bad.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So if Elon Musk was like, put aside a SpaceX
for a second, I'll give the best players you know
ten MILLI each, just just for s and giggles.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I want you to be the spokesman for Tesla.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Pay them crazy amounts of money, and all of a
sudden they they end up they beat Duke in.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
The final rights.

Speaker 7 (04:52):
That's something I'll pick the second to last University of
Arkansas at Pine Bluff, they could compete with the Right
Bluff with right I think Spot would love their logo.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
When we showed it to Mancy, she fell in love.
It's a lion head, but it's UAPB if you can
see it. If you can see it, the pine blow
that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Like that there, it looks like flames.

Speaker 7 (05:18):
It's also the letters that's really cool.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
That is cool.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
So we're bringing the madness here. We hope you're enjoying
your college basketball. It's baseball, Eve, there's a lot going
on again. Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. To
wrap up the previous conversation, Lebron tooked a lot of smack.
It was a fun conversation on McAfee. Smack in the
form of entertainment. Do you feel bad for Winhurst? That
was the other story too, right, It's like, oh, he
thought he's probably palsaled Lebron, and Lebron's like, oh that chump.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Essentially he felt a little mean, but you know that's
his truth. I guess whatever.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
The big story too was that he said Giannis would
score two hundred and fifty points in the seventies. I
think what we established in our conversation, Yeah, he's he's
he's speaking the truth there.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Because sports has evolved, competition has evolved, conditioning has evolved.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
But when we talk about the arts, it's very different.
In fact, we've gone backwards in a lot of ways.
As Danny g pointed out off the Air, you know, musically, comedically, artistically,
we just push out garbage comedically, movies other than Richard
Pryor and years crafting an act. Now we just fart
out specials because they're under contract. You lost a lot

(06:29):
of quality. Arts debatable everything else. Not so much art
is debatable, aren't not necessarily because we fart out music
because it's so easily created in someone's basement. When years prior,
there was artists development in years and years went into
the craftsmanship and the development of that product art not
in that conversation the same way sports is. So we

(06:52):
established that again where Cavino and Rich will take your
phone calls at eight seven seven.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
We still have Midweek Major to get to, plus Jimmy
Butler's awkward return and and more.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Say hi to uh Gary in p a Garry.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
Hey Gary, it's Derek, but nice.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
What's your name? All that billings just to get it wrong.

Speaker 8 (07:14):
Derek, Yeah, Derek, you know, trying.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Oh my name is Derek in I can sing Hi
like that name the movie what's up?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Tech?

Speaker 8 (07:24):
I mean is that a movie? Yes?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Brother, I don't think he's feeling it.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, he doesn't like you. Mayboy called him Gary and
you made a bad joke. Yeah, keep going.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Oh no, I'm not Gary, I'm Derek. But no, I
just wanted to just wanted to say, you guys are
absolutely hilarious.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Thanks Gary.

Speaker 8 (07:44):
The only thing that I've been able to think about
for a while is just a bunch of Justin Bieber's
rushing at me.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
How many things you could beat up?

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Not eight like I no, not eight. I don't know.
I'm kind of a lazy dude.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
He's really in shape these days. But but we're talking
floppy headed. You know, two thousands baby, But they got
that baby pubescent strength. They're stronger than you think. Thanks
at Gary, Thanks thanks Chuck, thanks for calling Chuck that
I've heard of old guys strength.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
What's pubescent strength? Just like teenage boys are much stronger
than you think. They've got the muscle mass.

Speaker 9 (08:20):
I guess.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
So they're coming into their own body. Just stop sim
going to middle schools and fighting kids.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
They're coming, they're coming of age. Stop it. Let's go
to dog on Long Island. Dog, what's up?

Speaker 9 (08:33):
Man?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Dog says he has two random stories that have nothing
to do with what we're talking about her. Let's say
he said, is rich about it? So did Gary? Dog
said to pick one of the stories, choose it. Choose
our own adventure with dog. Sweet, what do you got.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
E dog?

Speaker 10 (08:51):
Okay, one day I rented a hotel room. I threw
pebbles in the corner, put her on a tank top
and uh and and drank Corona extra and I thought
I was at the beach.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Okay, that's that I got story visualism.

Speaker 10 (09:07):
Okay, another one, another story is this? I was in
another one? I was in a hospital for my drinking. Yeah,
and I want I was in a homely to my
grandparents when I was there. When I went to a
club and I met the school and I told her
I was in the hospital working. I'll be back in
two weeks. So I came back in two weeks. And
you know what, the movie we saw what Liar Liar,

(09:31):
but Deck doesn't compare to Joe Pesci, my cousin Vinny.
The best movie that.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
There ever was, Hey Dog, interesting guy.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, I really wanted to see story panned out, something
about Joe Pesci.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
What happened? Just watched the movie with a girl. He
watched Liar Liar.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
With our very own Justin Cooper from the Network.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
But not as good as my cousin Indian. I kind
of agree.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
I kind of liked that guy because it's it's like
doing a show at Rich Davis.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
They're both from Long Island.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
They're both from Long Island, and they just start talking
about random things out of nowhere, like Mannicotti.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, exactly. I think that was good.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
I got one more thought before we get into Midweek
Major and I know we're gonna talk to Jimmy Butler. Yeah,
so last night after my daughter sawball game after our
big win, I coached the hell out of that game.
I dragged the field, put on the sprinklers, and do
all the stuff that parents do.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I just have to ask am I out of my
mind to think that when we were kids. Not that
it's a big deal, but when we were kids, I
feel like no one did that to the fields, Like
do you listen to YMCA, Well, you had a crappy
little league program because my parents did that.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
But you're in little league all the way your parents are.
My mom would work the snack stand, that's what parents.
Dads would rake the field, so you do the Macker
reno while you do, Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm saying you, I grew up where the field are
sort of what the field was, and that's why you
got bad hops and it wasn't really manicured.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, sounds like you had a crappy little league. Maybe
I did.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Man, I'm sure not everyone had your great little league field.
I mean, I imagine your litterly kind of short fence too.
With all the home runs you hit. The dads rake
the field, that's how it was. But you're not any
more special of a dad. Are you here to tell
us that Little Leaue coaches have evolved to I'm well,
actually the way they teach kids, yes, in a overabundant way.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Where my dad was raking the field in the eighties.
Where I have.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Girls on my team that are seven and they have
private softball pitching lessons, that's wild.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
I would think nowadays you would have competitions for dads
competing on whose field would look better there because of lawns.
I'm totally in the we're doing part of my lawn
right now, and I think that there are a lot
of people like me that you if if you gave
a couple of dads saying you've got Diamond two or
you've got Steve Cavino Memorial Field to take care of, like.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
They would have want some Kentucky bluegrass on that.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Yeah, they would want to make it like the best
diamond compared to everybody else.

Speaker 6 (11:51):
The dad dropt a Thatcher reference the other day to Thatcher. Yeah,
I had to look up what the de Thatcher was
because and I'm a guy who's on a lot of landscaping.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
I enjoyed that stuff too.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
And I'll name drop the guy that runs my son's
pony Ball League. Jeff soup On, former Major League baseball pitcher,
played for almost twenty years. Sure Soup is so adamant about.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Make it, make it, you.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Shoud get with it. So Soup, make sure these field
are These fields are so manicured. They're like Major League
baseball stadiums. Like the grass where you almost like, wait,
is that real grass or turf because it's at it's

(12:32):
like a so short, like perfectly manicured.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
I must have just.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Played on the crappiest fields on Long Island where there
were rocks on the infield. They would there were the
remnants of the foul line every game. I get the
little thing, you know, you making the line the straight
line Like to me, I just feel like kids now
have way nicer.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
I think that, And I may have mentioned this on
the show, but as a right handed hitter, the first
time you stepped in a batter's box that was level
with home plate was new because it was always had
the day because everybody was alrighty, So you're like three
four inches below home plate and you actually went to
a real diamond and you were even with home plate.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
It freaked the crap out of it. Who doesn't need
the hole in the battle. You know who doesn't let that?
Did it happen? Soup?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
You know pull soup, you call it soup dejor my
palth soup.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Rich dropping names.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
So again that's Rich Davis the coach where Covino and
Rich Cavino and coach Rich And we'll take your random
stories and your phone calls. But we got to talk
about Jimmy Butler back in Miami. It was one of
those anti climactic, you could say, awkward awkward moments. It
was an awkward return. Well, what was his quote, Danny
G something like yo, I was.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, that the video tribute was nice, but he didn't
really feel a lot of emotions.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, I guess it's he didn't.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Feel a lot on the court either. He only scored
eleven points. He was five to twelve.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
What was more of an.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Awkward return Jimmy Butler? Or when I returned those curtains
to bed, bath and beyond after I had him for
like three years, I kept the bag. I was like, gay, man,
these things they just don't work right. Awkward return. There
are some stores that were like, we'll take it back whatever. Yeah,
so awkward returns. They showed the video. They showed the montage,

(14:16):
he showed no reaction. It was sort of an awkward moment.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
The crowd in the arena looked kind of confused.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
He said it was nice, but he had no emotions
behind it. He didn't want to deal with pat Riley.
It was an awkward return.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Man.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Can I tell you that crowd reaction is almost the
worst reaction, because what do they say in relationships, what's
the worst thing?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Apathy?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right, Like you may hate an ex girlfriend or still
be in love with her. Indifference in apathy is the
worst because that means like you, I just don't even care,
like like you almost wanted the fans to be like
thanks for all the years, Jimmy Butler, you know, happy
face coffee, we missed your brow or boo.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
You left us.

Speaker 11 (14:59):
You get that.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, the fact that there was that sense of like, yeah,
that's like, that's the emotion. You don't want Cavino out
of a relationship with job or anything.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Again.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
He spoke on his return and the tribute to him.
The video was nice and again they were just doing
the right thing, but there was a lot of emotions.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Here's the clip.

Speaker 12 (15:19):
I like, I always said, I got a lot of
love fash City for the fan base here. Video is nice.
I won't say that there was a lot of emotions though.
I mean it takes me back to some good times
when I was ring to Miami he Jersey feel I'm
very appreciative of those time to help me become the
player that I have in this league, the individual that
I am in his league, the teammate, the leader, all
of those things. I don't think I could be who

(15:41):
I am today. I went out my opportunity here.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I had an awkward return.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
You know.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Rich and I built our talk show at Serious XM. Right,
that's where we started as a talk show. I remember
when I first started dating my girlfriend. We went back
to New York City and I was like, yeah, you
know what, that's where I uh.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's where I work.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
And we still worked there, but I hadn't worked in
that facility anymore, and I wanted to go into this building,
this real nice building we worked at, like a big shot.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
And I got there and they wouldn't let me in.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I didn't work anymore, and I'm trying to show her
just how cool the facility is, and the security got
involved and then they're calling upstairs to see if I
even work there anymore, and I'm like, I do work there,
And then you go back and like none of the
people you used to work with or even there anymore.
It's how a lot of people felt after COVID.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
You didn't even know where anyone worked anywhere, or where
they were Steve exclusive audio of you that day, let's.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Even really work here?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:44):
It was so embarrassing because it was like, do I
even work here? I felt like such a slub. They
wouldn't even let me in the building. Didn't your girlfriend say?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Are you lying? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:52):
It's like the video of Jamal Adams getting locked out
of the Jets facility. Remember, oh so weird.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Let me tell you when it comes to awkward, I
guess you could. You could consider reunion's returns, right, like
when people get get together haven't been together in a while.
I had my twenty year high school reunion recently, and
recently twenty years ago. How dare you when I recently
had my twenty year reunion. All the guidos that I

(17:20):
grew up with on Long Island, all the guys you
could picture like that, hey, Tony and Anthony, and you know, Gino,
all the Italian guidos I grew up with. What about
car Mine? I did go to school with the Carmine
of course, of course, why not? So all those guys,
you know what the most Italian name is though, for
real proven fact, Veto I.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Went to high school. I'm not even joking. I'll give
him shout out.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
We got Veto here went I went to school it
is I'm not even bs and I went to school
on Long Island, graduated class with a guy named Vito Viti.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
I mean, we work with a guy Vito here. He
does great work.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
But it's one of the most Italian names you could have,
according to I think according to Tick, what about Giuseppe O?
That's pretty jusey. But it's like real, like it's a
real Italian. It is like Italian American.

Speaker 12 (18:08):
Like beat them.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
So just said.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
We go to my high school reunion and all the
guido tough guys that thought they were hot s and
like the nerdy, like good kids, we're all getting along
like everyone's like, hey, it's twenty years later, it's nice
to see it.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
It was like the most like beautiful mesh of meaning.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
All differences were aside your grown ups now and you
all come from the same place.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
About your twenty year reunion a couple of years ago
from me, not long ago, but yours.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
My mom says it must be like a Mexican expression
because it sounds weird. She's like, we all come from
the same hall. What meaning like you're no better than
anybody else. You're all from the same place. So you
realize that when you're older. Face looks confused, like, I
don't think that's her. I think you messed up the phrase.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
It sounds the hole.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, well, anyway, meaning time has passed, you're all from
the same high school.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
You all grew up together.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
There was there was a you know, a different sense
of who was cool and who wasn't back then, but
that no longer exists.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
And so I'm as a great equalizer all.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
The burnouts, all the guidos, all the nerds, all the
drama kids.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Everyone was getting along. Would the word be swimmingly?

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (19:24):
If you're Michael Phelps, it was a beautiful night.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
And then comes in one of like I guess you
would say, like the real nerdy kids that may have
got bullied a little bit back in the day. He
comes in and one of the guidos is like, hey John,
and he pulls this.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, you're gonna be nice to me now. I think
I forgot when you threw me in a locker.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
And you know, this dude made the whole room feel
like what is going on?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
He didn't roll with its return awkward returns, Jimmy Butler
had one.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Maybe it was too soon, right, Maybe it's the pain
hasn't dried yet, the ink hasn't tried, like this is
months ago. I think when a player comes back like
a year or so later, maybe there's a little more
of a ah, hey, we missed him.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Also, the fans, the reason they were kind of you know,
standing on there or sitting on their hands was the
Heat have been struggling since he has moved to Golden
State and the Warriors except for yesterday's game, and Steph
Curry is out hurt right now, but the Warriors have
been thriving ever since Butler got there.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, it's almost like your ex moved on if he's
really happy.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
It's too soon, bro too soon, broke.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
So your thoughts eight seven, seven, nine, nine on Fox
and Spotty's Got a cueued up. Next, we go over
midweek major the biggest stories in the world of sports
and entertainment. We do that next right here, Fox Sports Radio,
Cavino and Rich.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Tires matter.

not one per sand.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I gotta, I gotta, I got another one before spot
gets the midweek Major. You rather be thrown in the
ocean and there's a shark within a mile, yeah, or
be thrown in the middle of the woods and you
know there's a bear within a mile.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Oh. I'm much more confident on my feet than in
the water, so yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
The bear.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
I have some news for people. When they're swimming in
the ocean. There's most likely a shark within a mile,
and they're not gonna I'm not.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
They move fast to keep I'm sorry. It seems to
do a mile a miles big. I should have said
one hundred yards football field. I said football. You get
dumped in but you could swim back to the boat
right away, or run back to a cabin.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
But you could. You could punch the shark in the nose.
Can't do that to a bear.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, the bear. You just have to find a big
rock and just keep running around in circles. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:57):

(23:33):
guys again for hanging out. Let's take one quick phone
call before midweek major. Oh geez all right, uh ohio, Josh,
what's up?

Speaker 9 (23:40):
Hey, guys. I just want to speak on the awkward returns.
So the nineteen ninety four, I believe, was the year
MTV Music Videos Van Halen was presenting and Beck won,
And it was when David Lee Ross came back to
the band and he awkwardly made it all about him.
They get to the backstage and he's just yelling this

(24:04):
is all about me. You guys don't have anything to
do with this. And I guess Eddie van Hahlen told him,
if you ever speak to me like that again, you
better be wearing a cup.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
I do remember that.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
You know, happens in life, happens in bands, It happens
at reunions. Like Rich said, happens when you go back
to your favorite spots and like the people that you
expected to be there are all different.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
It's not the same anymore.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, you know, it was awkward last night when Jimmy
Butler went back again. They didn't leave on good terms,
and of course the Golden State Warriors got blue out,
blown out, so awkward return last night.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
And now it's time Midweek Major. Let's go.

Speaker 11 (24:41):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the week.
When mid Week Major. I love that we throw sports
and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and
it's like the kids.

Speaker 9 (24:54):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 11 (24:55):
We definitely here seeing our score. Midweek Major, I'm.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Gonna go fast.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
We give Spotty eight full minutes, right bother anymore, And.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this segment, we like to roll the
two big red love dice in the main studio. Ye
what'd you get, Covino?

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah? Eleven?

Speaker 4 (25:19):
All right, and now a rig worth rolling. This is
to see who gets first take.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
It's called a ritual. Now I got a one on
the first dice, not even rolling the.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Other wi's job, Ashley, all right, Covino gets to go first.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey spotty boy.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Guys, that's to pretty and since you gave me no time,
Kendrick Laware's halftime show, as we know, has been one
of the most watched shows in history, with wapping one
hundred and thirty three point five million people viewing, but
of course not without some criticism, criticism, and complaints from viewers.
Official tally is in on FCC complaints, totaling one hundred
and twenty five complaints. A lot of the complaints had

(25:59):
to do with the usage of the red, white and
blue representation of.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
The flag some crotch grabbing gestures.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
At least ten complaints had to do with him using
the platform to go after Drake, claiming it was a
personal vendetta. Some had to do with Serena Williams dancing
as a gang affiliation in comparison, Just so you know,
Rihanna's show last year had just over one hundred complaints,
while Jlo and Shakira had over thirteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Coolis not that crazy midweek or major? I think it's
a mid story.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
When you factor in one hundred and thirty three point
five million tuned in most ever, and you only got
one hundred and twenty five complaints, is that like points,
that's not that bad?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Said?

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, I mean when you factor in that many more
people were watching, plus people in today's culture just love
to complain anyway. Have you been on social media a
bunch of Darren's and Karen's just complaining all the time.
I thought it was how many of them do you
figure actually named Karen? Coincidentally, I think, what do you
think one of the one twenty five is a Karen's.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I'm actually surprised it's not more. Yeah, I'm with you.
I think it's a mid story. People will complain about anything,
and what really can you complain about? And who cares?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Just like that's how many people those people are.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Definitely, can I talk to the manager on a regular Yeah,
they all have that Johnny Resnick Karen haircut.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
That's funny, all.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
Right, lebart Lebron finally addressing his viral confrontation with ESPN
host stephen A. Smith while appearing on the Pat McAfee
show earlier today, he spoke about the incident, saying, it's
not necessarily about stephen A criticizing, which is his job,
but when he makes it personal, he said, when you
take it and make it personal, it's my job to
not only protect my household, but the players. Specifically referenced

(27:36):
Smith criticizing Bronni and when he saw him on the court,
he was saying, stop talking stuff about my son. That's
my son, that's my son. Leave him out of it.
Even made like a Taylor Swift joke. Said he's on
a Taylor Swift tour right now talking about this incident
speaking about steven A.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
So midweek er, major major, because it was a big
national story. We also played out on the court, and
it's fun to see Lebron's side of things.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
But you know what he did.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
He gave steven A exactly why you wanted again more
things to talk about the fact that Lebron James is
talking about steven A again on a public platform, on
a big show like that just just feeds into what
steven A is all about.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
He loves that.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think it's major because it's the biggest, one of
the biggest sports personalities and one of the biggest sports
media members.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
And again, steven A loves it.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
And Lebron pointed that out, saying that he could picture
steven A eating ice cream in his tidy white. He's
getting all excited about this because you know what, You're right,
I love them. Lebron's like he made it seem like
I didn't want to address this, Like, come on, of
course you were itching to address it. So, I mean,
I do agree with the point though that you shouldn't

(28:49):
make it personal, but Lebron makes it hard not to when.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
He involves in his family into the game, right.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I mean, it's a very unique situation because you are
talking basketball, but you're also talking about his son, all right.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
Astarnfisa Collier isn't thrilled about the upcoming WNBA season coverage
and is setting her sits on none other than Caitlyn
Clark and the Indiana Fever. So the TV schedule for
the twenty twenty five season. Twenty twenty five season has
been revealed and the Fever are set to have forty
one of their forty four games being televised or streaming,
in comparison to the last season champion, the New York Liberty,

(29:25):
who only have thirty two of their games being televised nationally.
Colliers on the Links, who lost to the Liberty last season,
just questioning why this spotlight isn't being shown on other
WNBA stars. Of course, she fully acknowledges how Clark has attention.
She drew attention to the WNBA, but said, there are
stars all over the league and if you want to

(29:46):
watch good basketball, you have to feature the other teams.
Not trying to take away from the Fever, but lift
up the other teams.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Midweek Er Major.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
It's a major story because people are going to talk
about it. Anything Caitlin Clark related is made. But guess what,
you know who's not Major Collier. Unfortunately the Liberty, even
though they won the Links, no one cares about that
as much as they care about Kaitlyn Clark. That's the
bottom line. She is the reason that anybody cares. Right now,

(30:14):
I'd rather watch.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
A YouTube video of someone making sausage links than watch
the Minnesota link.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean, I think that's pretty fair, right.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
If Kaitlyn Clark is getting forty one or forty four
games aired and the Liberty who won are getting thirty two.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Still a decent amount of games. I mean, I'm actually
surprised they're getting thirty two games.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
You know, take it.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Easy, ladies, because I remember when, like Angel Reese was like,
maybe we should strike. If they strike, you're never gonna
see the NBA WNBA again. Sheab relaxed, like I agree
with him. That's the one thing Antonio Brown said that
wasn't crazy. Listen thirty two games televised. That's big.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
I would say, that's that's a that's an improvement.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Kaitlyn Clark's a star. We'll see what the rating show.
I bet you.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
I bet you can find sausage link videos that have
more because probably, honestly, you probably could.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
Let's see the twenty twenty four World Series champion Dodgers
have officially accepted their invite to the White House and
will officially take place on April seventh, when they're in
DC to play the Nationals. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said
it's certainly a huge honor to get the invitation to
the White House, respects the position of the president, says
it's the highest in the country, certainly in the world,

(31:22):
so they're looking forward to it. No official word on
who from the team will be in attendance, but Roberts
did get some criticism back in twenty nineteen when he
said he would definitely turn down the chance to go
to a Trump White House if they won that season.
They did win in twenty twenty when Biden was in office,
so they went to visit. But he is switching his
his stance and they are going April seventh, and the

(31:45):
OSU buck guys also accepted their invitation.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
They'll be there on April fourteenth. Many think that's major.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Look, look, whatever your political stance is, that's your business
and you have your right to that. I think to
turn down the honor of going to the the White
House is foolish and I don't think that's fair for
the other players that looked at that as an honor
if they wanted to go.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
So I'm glad they're going.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
And they're they're being honored and the way they deserve
to be.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
On agreed, I think it's uh, I think it's great. Major,
I guess I think you put your differences aside for
an no doubt.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I always tell you guys that we've interviewed so many celebrities, musicians,
we've never interviewed a president sitting or you know, had
served in the office.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
I bumped into Jimmy Carter. I would love to be
sure what Jimmy Carter y man I was.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I turned around the corner. I bumped into Jimmy Carter.
You never met Jimmy Carter Clinton Obama? I did mom
to Jimmy car Trump. I would I would love to
just have the opportunity to meet anyone.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
I thought you was someone else a Peanuts summa.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
By the way, what what kind of set this a
blaze on the internet was the fact about the the
Jackie Robinson website drama.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
And so that's an AI think and.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
That's what makes this story little. It blew up a
little bit yesterday because of that.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Did you say an AI thing?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, then it wasn't Jackie Robinson taken out by an
AI program.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
And then they put it back in. Oh oh, oh, okay, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Well I'm glad they're putting their differences aside to receive
their accolades. They had a hell of a season regardless
of your political stance.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
I think that's great. All right, let's go to dB
for an update. Damn fire, what's that buddy, guys.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
Russell Wilson has signed that one year deal with the
New York Giants. Speaking with three porters today via a
zoom call, this might be.

Speaker 13 (33:34):
My fourteenth year to be able to lead amazing group
of men that really have big hopes and goals and
dreams and desires, and we all have to share the
same goal. And so I think that's the best part
about it is I get to be around a lot
of them, you know, extremely should be talented guys.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Wilson also says he expects to be the starter for
the Giants in week one a dB.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I hate to interrupt your updates, but in the other
clip you played, he uses the term rock and en
roll again.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I want to rock and roll, sounding like your dad would.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
Say, Danny Zuko.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, it's like, is it what.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Every old white dad says when he closes out to
build at a restaurant.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
Let's rock and roll.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
It's just notice this pop stand. But he sounds very upbeat.
I like it. I like it.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
We were watching an old episode of The break Well
they're all old, but an episode of The Brady Bunch
last night, and Greg wanted to go to the rock concert.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
He wanted to go to the rock concert.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
Drive though, so he used his buddy's car and exact
words and the whole deal. All right. Yankees valued at
eight point two billion dollars according to Forbes, the first
baseball squad to break the eight billion dollar barrier. Dodgers
in at six point eight billion in second place. Red
Sox came in third, valued at four point eight billion.
Celtics upgraded Jason Tatum to questionable tonight against Phoenix, Bucks

(34:48):
ruled out Giannis and Tetakoopo against the Nuggets because of
a foot sprain, and West Virginia's found their new men's
basketball coach comes from North Texas, Ross Hodge now leading
the Mountaineers men's basketball program.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Thank you, dB, And you know what the downside of
that information? Yankees worth eight point two billion dollars?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
All right?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
So what are we gonna do about Garrett Cole? And
what are we doing about third base? I don't want
to hear about you can't afford it. You're exceeding budgets.
If you're eight point two, you better be doing something.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Hey, all the luxury texts that you'd have to, But
that's how the fans are gonna think.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
We don't want to hear all of the first team
to surpass eight million. How about you do something at
third base, buddy? Now, well, hey, one sleep until baseball.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
We got more Covino and Rich with a with a
hypothetical about baseball starting tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Next to wrap the show, hang TI.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Alright, CNR and FSR Live from theti rack dot com studio. Now,
players of today would dominate players of the seventies in
the NBA, according to Lebron on McAfee. But what about
guitar players of the seventies? Would they dominate guitar players
of today? I say yes, yep, Sam says yes again.

(36:00):
We made that distinction. Are is different than sports? It's different, Yeah,

the show with you. Do you cool with dish?

Speaker 1 (36:50):
You down? I guess one day?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Sure, Well we have to make a decision now because
baseball starts tomorrow. Yeah, Race, Oh wait, I'm excited.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
You're gonna go over your baseball fantasy team.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Now I get to put my Yankee bed sheets back
on tonight. You know, the Mets were just rated. You know,
they never went anything of value like a World Series,
but they just were named for the third year in
a row best stadium food in Major League Baseball. But
then again, the Mets have New York City Pizza in
their stadium. They have Shake Shack, they have sushi, they
have you know, steaks.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
The Mets have good food. City Field, the great spot.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'll give our buddy Jim credit our Buddy Jim, who
lives in Charlotte, said, if you guys had to right
now bet your savings, like if I went into your
bank account and took all four dollars, if I went
into your bank account and took you millions and millions,
your house, whatever you have, and you had to wager
it today. Here's the bet, Dodgers or the field to

(37:54):
win the World Series Dodgers or you get all other
thirty one teams. I'm sorry, Baseball, twenty nine teams.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
You go?

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Do you go twenty nine teams or do you go Dodgers.
You have to bet your full savings today to win
the World Series?

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Based on right now, I would have today's today.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
I'm going, I'm going in the field field. Yeah, but
you know why, because it's just not easy to do.
I believe the Dodgers could do it, obviously they're stacked,
but it's so not easy to do. It hasn't been done.
And how long a five or seven game series could
get tricky and weird and wonky? When's the last repeat
the Yankees?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Right? Last repeat was a while ago.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yeah, it's been a minute.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Because it's not easy.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah, I'm a Dodgers homer. So yeah, not really fair
to get an answer for me. I will say this though,
the Dodgers pitching situation has me feeling like they can repeat.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
I think if any tea But again, yeah, one team
or twenty nine. There have been stacked teams that couldn't
do it. Like I remember the A's when we were kids,
the Bash Brothers. I remember there was uh, you know,
there were Texas Ranger teams that lost back to back.
They were the Royals had two years in a row
they lost and then they won. It's hard to win.
We saw that with the Chiefs. Hard to repeat, hard

(39:13):
to repeat in baseball. But if there were any team
to do it, this Dodgers team seems so stacked and
so ready.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
But if you would have bet your life savings.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Dodgers or as they say, the field the rest of
the rest of Major League base it's crazy that it
feels like a risk to take the field. That's how
good the Dodgers are. That's the whole play. Hypothetically, I'm
going with the field on this. That's just you know,
my take on it. And a quick reminder, yesterday was
Team Mobile Tuesday. If you have Tea Mobile, you get
the MLB free the app for free, so better believe

(39:46):
I did that? Are you the greatest guy? Just a reminder,
if you have AT and T at Verizon, you don't
get that, but you just get better coverage. Your phone
works exactly. So that's a great hypothetical. Ask your friends
you know what you do? Sam your thought? Those people
don't have a savings do you have?

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Do you have a thought? Like if I said, Sam,
put it all the letter coverage, I agree with that.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
What do you think I have T Mobile? Sadly, I
would say I would take the field as well.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I just think, Yeah, Isaac Loan Crown, I know you're
just chiming in now there he is taking over for
Dan Byer. He's like, I'm not on the clock yet, jerk, Isaac,
would you choose the Dodgers or the field? Essentially, if
you had to bet everything, Isaac Lowancron owns.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
The Dodgers and if not, they will buy the field.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
Man answer that good though, that's just crazy about it,
and that's what makes the season even more interesting. Imagine
the Dodgers have a weakness midseason and the actually gets
someone at the trade deadline, Like you forget that.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Bar, Yeah, I know, barf, barf, barf, barfy barf, and
that's why I'm so excited to watch. So enjoy your
baseball Eve, and won't be talking about it tomorrow. No,
nothing like Opening Day. We'll see you then, and of course,
the Sweet sixteen continues until then. Have a great Wednesday night, baby,
see you in the promise. Goodbye, have a great day later,
