Speaker 2 (01:00):
All the livelong day. What is that like snow White,
the Seven Dwarfs or there's no more seven Dwarfs.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I was saying, there's a new one coming out, right,
there's no, seven dwarfs. Aren't they dwarfs? There's mystic old
woodland creatures. That's why people are saying they're not going
to go see the new snow White this weekend. We've
gone too politically correct. This is the one that's out
like right now, Well it's out this weekend. And they're
like c Gill, guys, they're they're cg not dwarfs, woodland creatures,
(01:25):
woodland creatures like a raccoon, No, not a raccoon, Like,
I don't even know what.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They're little possibly little no miss, Yes, why don't they
just call them dwarfs?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I look at it like they took away work from
honestly little people. They did, like Dinklage and Old they
prefer to be called dwarves. Listen, we're little people. Let
me tell you. No one's going to see that movie
for that reason. All right, Hey, uh Covin on rich
on Fox Sports Radio, and we're going to old school
like we do every Thursday. And before we get to
your phone calls and feedback, we are reminiscing, and I'll
(01:54):
explain a second. We did say it's March madness, and
we jokingly did our macho man Randy Savage. Who ye,
Macho Madness. Oh yeah, I'm so proud of myself. Do
you think because we see a lot of these legends
the way we look at Mike Tyson now, as he's
like a funny older guy and a lot of the legends,
(02:16):
do you think if he had lived, Macho Man would
have been one of these guys we get a kick
out of. Oh yeah, definitely. Like I feel like Macho
Man would have been a really funny old guy like
we would have been, Like he probably would have done
a promo like It's March Madness, Like they're like, we
missed out on like old Macho. I mean we got
to snap into it. We saw him in Spider Man,
(02:38):
right like you started seeing him in a pop culture
sort of way a lot. I feel like, just yeah,
he would have just expanded on that the same way.
Like I said, you see Mike Tyson or one of
our older childhood heroes, you know, it's like a funny veteran.
I guess you would say, all right, let's go old school.
Today marks the five year anniversary of Isaac Lohmkrown's favorite show,
(03:01):
Tiger King. Honestly, it's a show that none of us
would have ever tuned into hadn't we had been so
bored and making puzzles and sour no bread and washing
our hands over and over again, wiping down our groceries,
all the stupid stuff we were doing to kill time.
This was our only option, is the only reason we cared.
Look at the date. It's a twentieth right, So Friday
the thirteenth was the last day many people were at
(03:22):
the office. So this was seven eight days into a quarantine.
And Netflix is like, hey, here's a documentary about weird
people that were that have jungle cats, show all cool
cats and kittens. Yeah, ridiculous, so ridiculous that we were
all exposed to this, and we all talked about it,
we all watched it, and again, it was a totally
(03:43):
total timing sort of thing. Otherwise we wouldn't have cared
about Joe Exotic, But instead we all watched and we
all knew that song. You remember that stupid song. It
wasn't even him singingz some tig nine, I satag and
a tiger saw man. Now, if you remember back at
(04:06):
this time, when we're so bored, everyone's jumping on zoom together,
everyone's making videos from home spot was making sour dough
bread like a lot of people were. Yeah, I was
so bored at home. I was making videos. I did it.
I did my own version of that stupid song five
years ago. Take a listen. Hey, it's Quarantino Cavino with
my latest jam that I'm working on. Everybody feel free
(04:28):
to sing along.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
La selache Ta jitter reb.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
La Sorrich Geeves and Rich Das. Rich Davis was a
goon La salvage day. Everybody saw Rich Davis. He was
a jitter Reba food. So thank you for making that
five years ago and you just on repeat which Davis
(05:00):
was a goon. So what were your weird memories from
five years ago when you were watching Joe Exotic and
Tiger King when COVID first started, and you were, like
you said, you were wiping down your groceries. You were
getting back from the supermarket, and I remember, like, you know,
everyone has their own timeline of when they played it
safe in what they did, but you remember taking like
Clarox wipes and wiping down the packaging and everything boxes.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, they would get they would arrive. I never wiped
the groceries down.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well, the thing is, and I did Danny g The
thing is at this time again. Last week was the
Rudy Gobert story. This week is when we were introduced
to Yep, Joe Exotic.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Five years ago, Tom Brady announced he was going to
the Bucks after twenty years.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, Patriot, you're like, okay, well that's cool news because
you're thinking ahead, right Brady. March Madness was canceled. I
was gonna say, why were we watching Tiger King? I
don't know, because the tournament that's going on today was cancer.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Five days all wondering like, hey, we were supposed to
have this two week curve thing. Are we heading back
to work or what?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, five days before the tournament was set to begin,
it was canceled.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So weak, dude. So anyway, when we all look back personally,
and I know everybody feels the same way, but it
really like it sucked, dude. I hated every second of this.
I hated it to the high heavens. We're going to
try to have some fun with it today. Your random memories.
Five years ago so major time. I know some people
lost people, there were some tragedy involved. We're keeping the
lighter side of things, like, you know, there's a lot
(06:24):
of people that benefited from this, namely influencers, because at
that time, musically turned into TikTok and that blew up
and you started seeing people doing their zoom. Carol Basket
killed her husband whacked him, and all these dancing trends.
But were you zooming anybody? You were doing skype before
this happened. There's still people right now who get to
(06:46):
work from home, and that would not be possible had
it not been from their company branching out and allowing
them to work from home.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Or the listeners don't know this. All of us are
actually at our homes right now.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
By the way, here at Fox Sports Radio. Here at
Fox Sports Radio, we had to dig a little deeper
to find live sports news. Here is a clip from
March fifteenth, twenty twenty, when our top story was live badminton. Listen, finally,
hold on to your socks and shuttlecocks because at the
(07:19):
Yonix World Badminton Championships, Yuki Fukushima and Sayaka hearda of
Japan said Cyan r to China's Do U Wi and
Lee Yin Wee twenty one thirteen.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
That's what I call March madness.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Wow, do you know one thing I'll never forget on
our networks. First of all, we all had a zoom
call with Scott, our boss, and he told all of us,
he said, obviously, these are interesting times. We're all going
to have to dig a little deeper to find really
good entertaining content for the listeners. Because you know, nobody
was sure with network, TV, radio, whatever. We didn't know
(07:56):
would there be less listeners, would there be more. Turned out,
the listenership like tripled because people had all this extra
time to take in TV shows and radio and television.
So that was one thing that was a little strange
was suddenly there were eleven million listeners instead of six
million or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And you know what, it was great for radio and
Fox Sports Radio and US professionally. We ended up in
a better place. But you know what, it also did,
in an eye rolling way, let everyone think they could
do their own podcast from home. That that and it
did sort of water down our world. Like like during
towards the end of COVID, that's when you'd bump into
someone and they're like, you know, I do a podcast,
(08:39):
and you're like, changed everything.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It was funny to hear the different hosts though, in
what they would cover, like, I'll never forget Ben Maller
covered a Marble Championship race where people were racing marbles.
I remember that, And remember there were the the NASCAR
drivers that were doing the simulated race car races in
their contraptions. There were so many any odd ends that
(09:02):
were being covered in discussed, and a lot of it
was amusing because people were like, what are you guys
gonna talk about?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, we found things to talk about, that's all. Yeah,
everybody had to pivot and that's our strength. So yeah,
we were fine. We were in sweatpants and we were
drinking more than ever. But what were your memories that
stood out? Oh? Do you know what, that's a great one, Cavino,
I hadn't wore sweatpants since middle school. Pe Oh, he
came back hard and I started wearing sweatpants all the time,
(09:28):
and in fact, I'm wearing jeans today. In the last
year or so, that's when I actually started dressing like
a human again. It was a major comeback. I got
way too sweatpant comfy, and I think a lot of
people did. Puzzles became a thing. So what were your
memories five years ago when we were introduced to Joe
Exotic could be in the world of sports, it could
be just in your life. Oh what do you remember most?
(09:50):
I got one of the five years ago one in
the world of sports. I won it back on a Thursday.
First of all, I remember Jimmy Butler doing his big face,
big face coffee inside the bubble as a good one.
Remember when he was he was he was charging other
NBA superstars twenty dollars for a cup of coffee, and
since then he has opened up coffee shops. How about this?
Remember Major League Baseball, certain stadiums and teams were selling
(10:15):
cardboard cutouts that you could put in the stands, Like
if you wanted Danny G's cardboard cutout at a stadium,
you could buy it. I was in Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Clay Travis did a bit from the show Your Twitter
at editar.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's my Twitter avatar. I'm gonna go there right now,
Danny G Radio cutout show us how little I pay
attention to you, Danny I never noticed that. I didn't
notice that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It was yeah yeah, On the Clay Travis show. That
was a bit that we do.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Your famous photo with the blue bat. Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So just to have a funny cutout, I held a
whiffleball bat.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh I didn't know that's what it was from. Yeah,
of course we know that. Oh that's hilarious, dude. That's
some picture Spot uses when he tows to you and videos.
All right, So Danny G Radio, if you want to
check it out, let's go to the phones eight seven
seven ninety nine out Fox. It really is like it
leaves such a weird feeling inside because you're like, that
was five years ago. Something happened where it just feels
(11:10):
so odd, like time went super fast since then, because
it like there was it was a major stamp in
our life, right, so everybody remembers it, and then it's
like every time it was so much quicker after that
since right. Yeah, But I what I don't want to
do is how this get political. But I do want
to bring up one point that I think one of
the big negatives besides obviously this affecting people, you know,
(11:31):
certain people, the elderly compromised people did get affected. Died.
I think I think that the reality is that it
separated us more than ever. Like I think we were
politically divided a little bit before that. You know, there
are people that love Trump payt Trump. But I think
during COVID, I think that how people treated COVID, we
(11:53):
were more separated than ever before. And I saw this
firsthand because I live out here in La my wife's
from ten. We were renovating our house. We went back
and forth from Texas to La every three weeks to
check on the progress of our house. I'd come back
here to La, people would be double masks walking down
the street. I'd go to Texas and our friends would
be like, want to good dinner? And I remember being like,
(12:16):
we are living in different worlds. I had friends. I'd
go out for a brunch with my friends in Texas.
Then I'd come back here and I'd be like her guards,
I'm were on a mask. Like I remember being like,
what world do we in? Because depending on where you lived,
you acknowledged it or you didn't. And it was very interesting.
Mostly different levels of yeah, precaution, hating talking about it
like puts me into a place that I hate actually
(12:37):
have to stand up because it gives me anxiety. I
hate it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Let's
go to the phones, Let's say hi to Justin in
South Dakota. Justin, what do you remember from five years
ago when you were watching Joe Exotic?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Well, I never seen Joe Exotic, but I was going
through a stage four Van Hodgkins and Poma cancer for it.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, well, it's good news he's here with us. You
know what I had for You're here?
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah? And Max Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
What a hard time for people to have medical issues
because if you remember, we all started missing our Dennis appointments.
We weren't going to check ups anymore. No one's getting
a haircut exactly. And if you were sick or you
had someone unfortunately pass away in the.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
House, you needed hip surgery. What if you needed someone
called electic?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
You're like, I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Danny's right, Sam. I have a friend who lost their father,
not to COVID, he passed away with something else, but
they couldn't even be with him in the hospital. Yeah,
is horrible. I think another thing, dude, I started giving
friends haircuts. I had clips and I was good at it.
So even Spotty a haircut. There's a video where our
video guy spot he was even lazier then. That's if
(13:50):
that's possible. But I remember he had not got a
haircut for a month, and then COVID happened, so he
was like overly due for haircuts. So one day while
we're doing the radio show from Home stuff, the Cavino
gave him a sweet fade and we're like wow, and
that's when people started getting floabies again. Yeah, George Clooney
was one of them, right, I remember him talking about it. Rich,
hold on, before you go to call you. Your kids
(14:12):
would have been very young when COVID struck, right, So
I'm thinking about all the parents who either had like
kids between the ages of zero to five, or the
parents that had to like educate, like homeschool their kids
and work Sam. I think sounds i'd like about the
most stressful home life ever. I think about how grateful
I am that my kids were too young during.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
COVID, But you had to be around them twenty four
to seven, right for for a while. On a side
note though, selfishly, Yeah, my son was a newborn, so
it was sort of a yeah, good time, right, I
can't talk yet. He kept people in germs away.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, not only did he just got to be home, no,
meaning I was stuck at home when I had my
son was born in February of twenty twenty, so when
he was one month old, COVID happened. So I was
the dad that was able to be there and help
my wife all the time, because go to work. No
one's going to work. So selfishly, I was like, not
a bad time to have a baby during COVID. However,
(15:07):
if you had kids that were in school, what an
fan nightmare. Imagine your your teenage kids in high school
and every day they're on their laptop trying to learn
from yourn.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You're maybe trying to work from home, and think about
how how like what cabin fever you'd have and at home.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Not only that I was telling Kevino earlier, Imagine you're
the dad or mom that's saved for your kid's college
tuition and you have tens of thousands of dollars and
your kids sitting in the kitchen doing college. Meanwhile you're
spending tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
You know what gives me anxiety, Covino? The fact that
we had to eat through door dash and Uber Eats
and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh I still do touchless delivery, that's that stuck around.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah I did, but I had never used those services
until COVID, and Rich never.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Washed his hands before COVID. That's facts, that's the truth. Yeah, facts,
we were gross before COVID. I went back to not
washing my hands. On back to the phones again. What
do you remember from five years ago? This week? Keep
it light? Yeah, trip in Vegas? What's up?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Trip?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Hey guys, Good to have you all back. Miss jall
last week, Thanks Bud. Still listen though, but Miss jaw U.
Two things well, especially being in Las Vegas. One, you
just mentioned door dash that created something that stinks that
contactless delivery equals. I mean, I'm not a DoorDash driver,
but that meant people didn't have to tip. That's number one.
And then the second thing is I've got pictures. I
(16:25):
took my girlfriend at the time. I was like, we
got to go do this. I've got walking on the
strip by the Bolagio and all that. I felt like
Will Smith and I am legend. There was nothing on
the street. I have like we're out.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I have a video trip outside of the Staples Center
before it was crypto, right, Covino and I used to
work at ESPN downtown La. I have a video that
looks like a ghost town. It looks like honestly, like
you said, I am legend. Will Smith was there. It
was that it was the weekend after everyone was quarantined,
and I'm like, guys like, look at downtown LA. It's
(16:58):
nothing's here. So uh, let's go to Jen in Michigan.
What's up, Jen?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Good evening here from Michigan.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Seven or.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
Three years before I found out I had sleep at nia,
So wearing those masks it was hard on me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, that it was hard for a lot of people,
and especially with little kids that are trying to learn
and mask.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
It was.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It was a rough time.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
You know what, if you put one of those masks
on for some reason right now, it's weird. A few
minutes in you're like, how did we do this? For
hours and hours on end?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Again, I hate looking back at that, I really do
and seeing all our little kids go to school that way.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
It was your own breast, your glasses wild, get fogged.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It gave some people some he gave some people some
self awareness about how dank their breath was.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Or you know, if you didn't listen to lady doesn't
do all her makeup or something, she can just throw
the mask on.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
She didn't have to do her list. If you know what,
I had a theory that it was a great time
for ugly people. It was that was a great time
for all people, hot bodies. We said, if you had
bed teeth or bad eyes, if you had a bed,
if you bad teeth or bed nos like you might have,
that was that was your time.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
To shock into my beautiful eyes and look at my
beautiful body.
Speaker 1 (18:12):

We were introduced to Joe Exotic. This week our lives
(20:06):
were changing. Truthfully, not a fun time to reminisce about,
because I don't know, there's some funny moments unless you
became social media and influencer famous during COVID, because that's
where a lot of these TikTokers started making millions. So,
unless you're an influencer, your career took a good turn,
or you were one of those people that just made
a ton of money in the market, which, by the way,
when you think about what you were doing, I was
(20:28):
one of those guys that, trust me, it didn't work
out all well in the end, but I was one
of those guys. I thought I was a day trader.
I don't know if anyway, Isaac, did you dabble in
that I was Sam. I was one of those guys
that was every day I was buying like penny stocks,
and I'd have great days, bad days. Everyone thought they
were a day trader.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
You know what's weird, I'm numbing this up. Even before COVID.
You know who was a huge day trader Al Michaels
for real.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, during those days like I'd have buddies tip me off, like, hey,
buy this pharmaceutical stock and it would go up like
three hundred percent a day, and by zoom. I remember
telling my wife like, I think this could be my
side hustle. I was a day drinker. My best friend
was Tito's. Tito's was my best friend during that time
in them. Yeah, we started boozing a lot around that
(21:13):
time because we were home and board. I remember, you know,
either making or you know, losing thousands every day in
my life for like six months. But I remember, you know,
hit me up one day and again it's not funny
to joke about alcohol too much, but I remember com
don't hit me up on time. He goes bro like,
how often did you go through a handles of a
handle of Tito's? How many did you have just going
(21:36):
through them?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
What was that? That weird party zoom thing was called
house party, house part. I remember people were going on
a house party just to like communicate on social media
and you're having drinks and you just talking to Randos.
It was a weird time.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I think you guys were both in relationships when COVID started.
I was single at the time. I actually met Brenda
during COVID, the second year of it.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So how did you feel when you took your mask off?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
It was a surprise when we both took our masks off.
But dating and dating profiles in meeting people was interesting
at the time because you thought you would get ghosted
prior to COVID. You really got ghosted. As far as
actually meeting up with people during COVID, there were even
zoom dates and things that it was virtual dating almost
at the time, it was really strange.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
She gave it to me. What syphilis? No, the VID?
All right, let's go to Chris and Arizona. We'll go
rapid Fire, then we'll go to Isaacrendt update. We'll get
back to that Ron Washington conversation, which, by the way,
the more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm confused.
So I need your help. Chris and Arizona. What's up, Bud?
Speaker 10 (22:39):
Hey, you guys led right into it with the whole
drinking thing. During COVID, my wife I have friends over
every Saturday night, and she's not too fond of it
from time to time, but during COVID she's considered high risk,
so she didn't want us hanging out. So first Saturday,
when Covid really hit, my buddy pulled up in his
(22:59):
truck and sound on the tailgate. We made sure we
were six feet apart, but we still got it done.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, I remember people, do you remember, Like kids would
have drive by birthday parties, like for little kids, like
their pals would like go buy the house like hey,
or like grandparents would talk to their kids. Great kids
were like a dude. So again, we're trying to have
fun with this conversation. Having the conversation, I'm like, this sucks.
Do you know how difficult co parenting was.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Okay, here's a positive we had, especially if you're in
a major city with gridlock traffic. That is the best
time I ever have driven my car in southern Califoria.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh that was a podcast. I'll give you. I'll give
you positive. I told you we were renovating our house
in Los Angeles. I was flying tune from Texas every
two weeks, forty nine dollars one way, and I was
like one of eight people on the plane. It was ridiculous.
And it wouldn't be a show if I didn't bring
up Covino's ex wife once in a while right, because
I love to point that out. I always felt bad
(23:53):
for him. I'll say it so you don't have to.
Some people were more cautious than others. Every time he
had his daughter, she he required like a negative test
when he gave his daughter back.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it was Yeah, let's talk about the nasal swabs.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I would I would call Coveno like, yo, bro, where
are you? He's like they would have met an urgent care.
I'm like, why he goes? I gotta get my daughter
like every week? Well, because my ex has little ones
didn't want to bring anything compromise back to her every time.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Every time Coveno we entered the network doors here we
took our temperature.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
There was like a workstation. It was weird. Iowa, Sam
kept bending over this where you put it? And remember
we had to get it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
If we had to get a COVID test, though, we
had to like go to some some like uh, you know,
a clinic or something.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We couldn't get one at home.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
How about the shady urgent cares who ripped all of
us off by charging so much money for those tests.
We saw those urgent cares go out of business once
people didn't need the tests anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Can I tell you this is so east coast of me.
I had a COVID guy early on, when tests were
hard to get. I had a guy like a guy,
a guy that would be like yo, hundol, Like I
had a guy that if you gave him on a
hundred bucks, he had a test like. So it was
a weird time, dude. Again, to be honest, I'm almost
regretting we're reminiscing. But you know what, it was five
(25:12):
years ago timestamp. Honestly check this out because this will
mind f you a little bit in a in a
weird way but also a nice way. If you do
search in your gallery, go to your gallery and you
search March twenty twenty, you could see right where you
were before this happened, and right where you were right
around this time. You're like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I went to a I went to a Bond Scott
tribute night and Bill Burr was one of the acts
doing like a twenty minute stand up bit and it
was all like a CDC covers and that was like
while COVID was sort of drifting out into the masses,
and someone made a joke, They're like, I have COVID
right now, and Bill Burr was like, get out of here.
So it was crazy. We all felt kind of weird
(25:54):
to be there, but we're like, let's do this.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, rapid fire Patrick in Spokane. What's up man, what's up?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Boys?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Yeah, it was crazy times back then.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
We went to a concert up in Canada. I love
up here in Spokane right before it, and things were
getting weird and on our way back, like everything got
shut down, and I just wanted to give a shout
out to the people that didn't get shut down. I
worked for a very large package disretribution company, not the
Brown one, but the other one.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Yeah, we we didn't got shut down. We got slammed. Dude,
we got smoke during that time.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
So, you know, shout out to all the hard workers.
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
We talked about if you want to forget all the
negative or the positive, but if you want to talk
about the things that changed in your life. We talked
about how there are people that started working from home
even half the time that still work from home that
never was essentials and non essentially. Yeah, that's right, Like
the people there's so many people that went to an
office every day of their life and from covid on
They're like, yeah, I work from home half the time,
(26:52):
so there are we had never used the word quarantine
as much like in this past two weeks five years ago,
then right now you remember club quarantine, Quarantino, Covino's what
they call that. Ohio, Nick, You're on what's up?
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Many, What's up?
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey, bud Man.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
I kind of want to approach the angle here, and
you've danced around that a little bit, but I kind
of appreciate you guys in there and let me elaborate.
But man, the things was so crazy, like you couldn't
do anything the way you did it before. And my
whole life i've worked, I've been a sports fan, and
the one thing that's kind of always been the same
(27:30):
is an hour and a half of Ben Mallor on
the way to work in the morning, an hour and
a half of Cavino and Rich in the evening. And
everything that was on media was like fear mongering and
this and that. But man, every morning you guys were there,
you know, and it was just it was normal. It
made stuff feel normal, It made it feel like it
would eventually go back to normal.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So you know, out on the back in the in
the like here it's it's it's very eyrolly to say,
but I sort of felt proud that Cavino and I
never missed one day like COVID happened and we're like, all, well,
just we were each other's uh what do you call
it when you uh, what do they call the people
close to you? Like your au No, not your inner circle?
Remember it was like you not the people you quarantined with, Remember,
like your inner circle people. They're like a stupid name
(28:11):
for it, like you're whatever. It was, Oh, there was
a term. I forgot it? Well was it? There was
like a term for like the people in your circle,
like like they're in my blank and it was like
the people that you were around without a mask, like, oh, no,
they're in my whatever. Did we call ourselves woo tang? Yeah, yeah,
we were client you know, just for optics. You want
to hear something ridiculous and I get it. Maybe we
(28:33):
were working at serious extem at the time. We worked
together every day. Would you believe on video they made
us go on different cameras even though we were in
the same room because they didn't want anyone to think
we were in the same room. And I'm like and
I was like, dude, we lived down the block from
each other and we're best buds. We're still hanging out.
And they were like, yeah, yeah, but for perception reasons
(28:54):
like opting two cameras. Yeah, that's how it was.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
That was my introduction to you guys. The very first
time I saw you two working together was during COVID
and I got it in the caller hit on it
a little bit, but I got to give props to
all the tech producers, the executive producers.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Here, the editors here here. The whole time.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
They gave us FEMA cards because the network's in charge
of EAS alerts for the country and stuff like that.
So we were we were considered essential workers. We did
not miss a shift, We could not miss a day,
and you know, hopefully you didn't get sick.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Thank goodness. I didn't come down with COVID during that stretch, but.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
We all had to be here physically in the network
while all the hosts were from their home on you
know the satellite feed.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Hey hey yay, Yeah, it was crazy. Push through it all.
Two quickies. We'll go to Isaac and we'll get back
to our Ron Washington hypothetical what's up, Johnny boy Virginia
BEACHRI'SI man.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Hey, hey he's going guys.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I doing good?
Speaker 10 (29:55):
I had heard that Las Vegas had a problem. They
couldn't lock the doors because those doors were never.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Made with locks. You know.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's that's like, there isn't a joke like seven Eleven's
don't have locks on their doors because they're open twenty
four hours. You know, it's uh. I do remember Vegas
going to Vegas soon after COVID. I remember they had
the shields up between you and the dealers. How weird
that was?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Can we not sneeze guard?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
During the During the break, Cavino was saying, how it's
it's almost like anxiety ridden to have this conversation because
we've come you know, we're sort of like, you know,
back to normal in society, but really sort of Sea
blocked a lot of people's lives and relationships and work
and a lot of stuff. So even talking about it sucks.
It just going to make you appreciate how things are
right now. Yeah, resilient we are, Yes, things bad things happen,
(30:40):
And you know, I don't care about your personal take
on COVID because we all have our own thoughts. But
to think here we are back to back to normal, right.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I won't say this. Those stimulus checks we got h
could have been like doubled. They didn't quite go far enough,
especially for people who are trying to get by. You're
like you still you find it about your stimy check.
Here's like fifteen hundred dollars. But like it was like
the inflation was starting to take a hold or something.
But I'm like these uh disappeared. This money went bye
bye in like a second. We'll take a lot more money,
one more to wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Who do we got? Speaking of Vegas and in.
Speaker 11 (31:12):
Vegas, yeah, good things come to those too. Way.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
So things I.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
Remember most about COVID I started Facebook gambling like pool
tabs and these being go groups and all different types
of like random gambling that people would just be hosting
online and these chat rooms on TikTok and everything else.
But then also I got pregnant during that lockdown and soon.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Down during lockdown.
Speaker 11 (31:44):
Yeah, so so distancing didn't work out. But it was
like my first kid, and it was terrible because of
a quarantine situation, Like I had to go to all
my appointments alone, even for delivery, like my doctor at
the hospital, I was originally going to go to Saint
Rose and like they were allowing even the thoughts come
in for deliveries, like seriously a loan.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
It was a sucky time to be a pregnant mom. Hey,
you know what, you maybe think of something because you
said Vegas and it would only be Coveno on rich
esque to end this conversation on a smutty note, but
what happened to strippers during COVID? They started only fans exactly,
strippers into only fans because all these young women that
(32:26):
were making their money lap dancing and touching and grinding
and gropey that was no longer on the table. Hamedians
everybody had a peptly fans. Yep. Comedians started podcasts exactly
like it. You know, think about that two layers and
we'll move on. Just remind yourself COVID comedians podcasting strippers
only fans. Bo Burnham did a special from home if
(32:48):
you remember that, so again five years ago. If you
want to chime in on your memories, hit us up
at Covino and Rich and when we get back again,
we continue with this Ron Washington story. Maybe talk a
little Bronnie Isaac lowing cron what's doing in the world
of sports, my friend?

Guys, back to you, thank you, Isaac Lowincron And by
the way, as I said, oh you know, I'm allowed
to say one more time, one in nine point two
quintillion chance of having a perfect bracket. No, you retired.
I retired it all right. Listen, we got more Covine
on Ritch. We'll talk a little Ron Washington next right
here on Fox Sports Radio, mister telephone man, huh throwing
(35:08):
it back on a Thursday new edition. Covino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio live from the tai Raq dot
Com studio. Now, a few reminders. Tomorrow we're gonna play
quote me, giving away prizes, giving away swiggies, our stainless
steel water bottle. You can qualify to win by leaving
a nice review wherever you streame your podcast search Covino
(35:30):
and Rich follow rate and review. But tomorrow quote me
the game this sweep in the nation. And right after
this show Rich, we go live on Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page eleven minutes from now perfect. We're gonna be
talking brackets, but in a way where we make fun
of them. We're gonna talk about baseball. Get you fired
up for baseball. We're a week away baseball cards. We're
(35:52):
gonna actually unpack a few cards from nineteen ninety and
lots of new foods at the ballpark. We break it
down on over promised our bonus pod again Fox Sports
Radios YouTube page. Right after this, you can join us
live and chat live with everyone else hanging out with us.
You know you should be happy. I see her in
the anchor studio, Mancy Belanos. I see a lot of
(36:13):
stadiums are offering some more vegan options in the food department.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, I mean, it is nice to see, but you know,
I really am going to indulge in like the desserts
and the suites that aren't necessarily vegan.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You're not gonna have the you're not gonna have sixty
You're not gonna have a sixteen inches sausage at Dodger Stadium?
Is it vegan or vegetarian?
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I would try it, I do. I've seen the bat
that fills up with popcorn that I want.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
That's that's a big trend. And Kavino and I were
going to discuss that a little more and overpromise that
starts stadium fights or not bats filled.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Up with you can't hurt each you know what? Like
at Iowa Cubs games triple at Cubs you can get
a beer bat. I think every food and drink should
be served out of a bat. The beer bats just
like this long beer you can drink well, but.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Then you can't put it down. Roger Stadium has a
beer back, but you can't put it down.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Isn't it like a flat portion at the bottom where
you can kind of bounce it?
Speaker 5 (37:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Not really, mah bummer.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
How about someone invent that?
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Well?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Remember to join us on over promise Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page in ten minutes, and remember to set us
to be number one on your preset on the iHeartRadio app.
It's a new feature again Fox Sports Radio. On the
iHeartRadio app, look for Cavino and Rich and thank you
guys for hanging out with us. Now we gotta wrap
it up with Ron Washington again. I think it's a
great idea, Rich because, like I said, it's it's a
(37:31):
no fail experiment. If they do terrible, it's not because
they didn't have their cell phones. And you have to
think about how much of a distraction it is, especially
when you're trying to make a change, right you're trying
to do something different, like when players are being hit
up by their wife east throughout the day and baby
mama drama and they're distracted with social media. You know
(37:52):
he's there trying to win, like take away the distractions
for a little while. So the least you could do
if you're serious about winning when you're getting paid that
much money. I get you with kids. I said this
to my wife yesterday. Anytime my son or daughter are like,
hey Dad, can we you know, do ground balls outside?
Or hey do you want to can we ride? Bikes
or do something. I'm always gonna say yes, because if
(38:13):
they're choosing that over their iPad, you'd be a terrible
parent if you're like, no, no, I can't go do
your You made me think of one thing though, you know,
I do think it's a good idea for one Washington
to take the phones away so that chemistry could build, relationships,
coul build we can communicate as a team. But if
you are a parent, you never want to be that
far away from your phone in case they need you
for an emergency, so that that is problematic. I never
(38:37):
want to be too far away from my phone my
battery dies. My first concern is what if my daughter's
trying to get a hold of me? So how do
you balance that? That would be something I'd be, you know,
concerned about. I think Mike Trout and other team leaders
have been put in charge of, you know, administering fines
and stuff like that. Hey, maybe maybe there's a how
about this. There's a clubhouse almost like a batphone, like
(38:58):
the hotline, where it's like hey listen, wives, girlfriends, now others, Like, hey,
if there's an emergency, there's someone on hand at all times.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
The famous Joe Montana story where he'd call out to
from all the different stadiums.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
And by the way, there's a related story today where
Bronnie James, who's probably getting some playing time tonight against
the Bucks. Ronnie James said that he sees and reads
and hears all the criticisms. He sees it all and
it sort of motivates him. But how about for the
people that gets in their walls and gets in their head?
You think they really need that when you're trying to
(39:32):
play their best before a big game. I don't think
it's that productive for these players. The reason I'm torn
on this could you notice that when you hear stories
of school saying no phones, I think that's a great
idea when you say hey to your kids, rather go
outside and play wiffleball or go on their iPads. Of
course whiffleball ten out of ten times. I'm just saying.
These are grown men with wives, girlfriends, Gumaud's side girls, kids, moms,
(39:55):
aging parents. I just feel like taking away a grown
man's phone is like, come on, imagine something like Cavino
hand it over you beat you tell him to beat it, school,
the workplace, dinner. You know, this is the workplace. Yeah,
I get it right, and if it's clearly it's problematic too.
These guys are spending more time on their phone than
they are building chemistry while getting to know each other.
(40:18):
If the Angels aren't twenty five games under five hundred,
will consider it a victory. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (40:23):
Right?
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Hey, you gotta upload ron Washington for trying to do
something different.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
And Cove you brought up the Lakers besides the attorney
Lakers Bucks, no Luca, no lebron Of course, Austin Reeves
is now hurt, Finney Smith is hurt, Vanderbilt is hurt,
so is Dalton. Connect gonna go for forty tonight and
Bronnie will definitely get some playing it is tonight.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Let's honestly prop bet is tonight Bronnie's highest point total
ever should be. I mean, you just named like five
players that that put up points. So unless they plan
on scoring sixty five points, maybe Bronnie scores five to ten.
People mess around and get a triple double. It's gonna
be cool to see. Definitely reason to watch tonight. Sure well, hey,
have a great Thursday night over Promised is up next
(41:03):
to our bonus podcast and then tomorrow back here on

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I was saying, there's a new one coming out, right,
there's no, seven dwarfs. Aren't they dwarfs? There's mystic old
woodland creatures. That's why people are saying they're not going
to go see the new snow White this weekend. We've
gone too politically correct. This is the one that's out
like right now, Well it's out this weekend. And they're
like c Gill, guys, they're they're cg not dwarfs, woodland creatures,
(01:25):
woodland creatures like a raccoon, No, not a raccoon, Like,
I don't even know what.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They're little possibly little no miss, Yes, why don't they
just call them dwarfs?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I look at it like they took away work from
honestly little people. They did, like Dinklage and Old they
prefer to be called dwarves. Listen, we're little people. Let
me tell you. No one's going to see that movie
for that reason. All right, Hey, uh Covin on rich
on Fox Sports Radio, and we're going to old school
like we do every Thursday. And before we get to
your phone calls and feedback, we are reminiscing, and I'll
(01:54):
explain a second. We did say it's March madness, and
we jokingly did our macho man Randy Savage. Who ye,
Macho Madness. Oh yeah, I'm so proud of myself. Do
you think because we see a lot of these legends
the way we look at Mike Tyson now, as he's
like a funny older guy and a lot of the legends,
(02:16):
do you think if he had lived, Macho Man would
have been one of these guys we get a kick
out of. Oh yeah, definitely. Like I feel like Macho
Man would have been a really funny old guy like
we would have been, Like he probably would have done
a promo like It's March Madness, Like they're like, we
missed out on like old Macho. I mean we got
to snap into it. We saw him in Spider Man,
(02:38):
right like you started seeing him in a pop culture
sort of way a lot. I feel like, just yeah,
he would have just expanded on that the same way.
Like I said, you see Mike Tyson or one of
our older childhood heroes, you know, it's like a funny veteran.
I guess you would say, all right, let's go old school.
Today marks the five year anniversary of Isaac Lohmkrown's favorite show,
(03:01):
Tiger King. Honestly, it's a show that none of us
would have ever tuned into hadn't we had been so
bored and making puzzles and sour no bread and washing
our hands over and over again, wiping down our groceries,
all the stupid stuff we were doing to kill time.
This was our only option, is the only reason we cared.
Look at the date. It's a twentieth right, So Friday
the thirteenth was the last day many people were at
(03:22):
the office. So this was seven eight days into a quarantine.
And Netflix is like, hey, here's a documentary about weird
people that were that have jungle cats, show all cool
cats and kittens. Yeah, ridiculous, so ridiculous that we were
all exposed to this, and we all talked about it,
we all watched it, and again, it was a totally
(03:43):
total timing sort of thing. Otherwise we wouldn't have cared
about Joe Exotic, But instead we all watched and we
all knew that song. You remember that stupid song. It
wasn't even him singingz some tig nine, I satag and
a tiger saw man. Now, if you remember back at
(04:06):
this time, when we're so bored, everyone's jumping on zoom together,
everyone's making videos from home spot was making sour dough
bread like a lot of people were. Yeah, I was
so bored at home. I was making videos. I did it.
I did my own version of that stupid song five
years ago. Take a listen. Hey, it's Quarantino Cavino with
my latest jam that I'm working on. Everybody feel free
(04:28):
to sing along.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
La selache Ta jitter reb.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
La Sorrich Geeves and Rich Das. Rich Davis was a
goon La salvage day. Everybody saw Rich Davis. He was
a jitter Reba food. So thank you for making that
five years ago and you just on repeat which Davis
(05:00):
was a goon. So what were your weird memories from
five years ago when you were watching Joe Exotic and
Tiger King when COVID first started, and you were, like
you said, you were wiping down your groceries. You were
getting back from the supermarket, and I remember, like, you know,
everyone has their own timeline of when they played it
safe in what they did, but you remember taking like
Clarox wipes and wiping down the packaging and everything boxes.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, they would get they would arrive. I never wiped
the groceries down.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well, the thing is, and I did Danny g The
thing is at this time again. Last week was the
Rudy Gobert story. This week is when we were introduced
to Yep, Joe Exotic.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Five years ago, Tom Brady announced he was going to
the Bucks after twenty years.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, Patriot, you're like, okay, well that's cool news because
you're thinking ahead, right Brady. March Madness was canceled. I
was gonna say, why were we watching Tiger King? I
don't know, because the tournament that's going on today was cancer.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Five days all wondering like, hey, we were supposed to
have this two week curve thing. Are we heading back
to work or what?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, five days before the tournament was set to begin,
it was canceled.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So weak, dude. So anyway, when we all look back personally,
and I know everybody feels the same way, but it
really like it sucked, dude. I hated every second of this.
I hated it to the high heavens. We're going to
try to have some fun with it today. Your random memories.
Five years ago so major time. I know some people
lost people, there were some tragedy involved. We're keeping the
lighter side of things, like, you know, there's a lot
(06:24):
of people that benefited from this, namely influencers, because at
that time, musically turned into TikTok and that blew up
and you started seeing people doing their zoom. Carol Basket
killed her husband whacked him, and all these dancing trends.
But were you zooming anybody? You were doing skype before
this happened. There's still people right now who get to
(06:46):
work from home, and that would not be possible had
it not been from their company branching out and allowing
them to work from home.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Or the listeners don't know this. All of us are
actually at our homes right now.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
By the way, here at Fox Sports Radio. Here at
Fox Sports Radio, we had to dig a little deeper
to find live sports news. Here is a clip from
March fifteenth, twenty twenty, when our top story was live badminton. Listen, finally,
hold on to your socks and shuttlecocks because at the
(07:19):
Yonix World Badminton Championships, Yuki Fukushima and Sayaka hearda of
Japan said Cyan r to China's Do U Wi and
Lee Yin Wee twenty one thirteen.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
That's what I call March madness.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Wow, do you know one thing I'll never forget on
our networks. First of all, we all had a zoom
call with Scott, our boss, and he told all of us,
he said, obviously, these are interesting times. We're all going
to have to dig a little deeper to find really
good entertaining content for the listeners. Because you know, nobody
was sure with network, TV, radio, whatever. We didn't know
(07:56):
would there be less listeners, would there be more. Turned out,
the listenership like tripled because people had all this extra
time to take in TV shows and radio and television.
So that was one thing that was a little strange
was suddenly there were eleven million listeners instead of six
million or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And you know what, it was great for radio and
Fox Sports Radio and US professionally. We ended up in
a better place. But you know what, it also did,
in an eye rolling way, let everyone think they could
do their own podcast from home. That that and it
did sort of water down our world. Like like during
towards the end of COVID, that's when you'd bump into
someone and they're like, you know, I do a podcast,
(08:39):
and you're like, changed everything.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It was funny to hear the different hosts though, in
what they would cover, like, I'll never forget Ben Maller
covered a Marble Championship race where people were racing marbles.
I remember that, And remember there were the the NASCAR
drivers that were doing the simulated race car races in
their contraptions. There were so many any odd ends that
(09:02):
were being covered in discussed, and a lot of it
was amusing because people were like, what are you guys
gonna talk about?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Well, we found things to talk about, that's all. Yeah,
everybody had to pivot and that's our strength. So yeah,
we were fine. We were in sweatpants and we were
drinking more than ever. But what were your memories that
stood out? Oh? Do you know what, that's a great one, Cavino,
I hadn't wore sweatpants since middle school. Pe Oh, he
came back hard and I started wearing sweatpants all the time,
(09:28):
and in fact, I'm wearing jeans today. In the last
year or so, that's when I actually started dressing like
a human again. It was a major comeback. I got
way too sweatpant comfy, and I think a lot of
people did. Puzzles became a thing. So what were your
memories five years ago when we were introduced to Joe
Exotic could be in the world of sports, it could
be just in your life. Oh what do you remember most?
(09:50):
I got one of the five years ago one in
the world of sports. I won it back on a Thursday.
First of all, I remember Jimmy Butler doing his big face,
big face coffee inside the bubble as a good one.
Remember when he was he was he was charging other
NBA superstars twenty dollars for a cup of coffee, and
since then he has opened up coffee shops. How about this?
Remember Major League Baseball, certain stadiums and teams were selling
(10:15):
cardboard cutouts that you could put in the stands, Like
if you wanted Danny G's cardboard cutout at a stadium,
you could buy it. I was in Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Clay Travis did a bit from the show Your Twitter
at editar.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's my Twitter avatar. I'm gonna go there right now,
Danny G Radio cutout show us how little I pay
attention to you, Danny I never noticed that. I didn't
notice that.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It was yeah yeah, On the Clay Travis show. That
was a bit that we do.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Your famous photo with the blue bat. Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So just to have a funny cutout, I held a
whiffleball bat.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh I didn't know that's what it was from. Yeah,
of course we know that. Oh that's hilarious, dude. That's
some picture Spot uses when he tows to you and videos.
All right, So Danny G Radio, if you want to
check it out, let's go to the phones eight seven
seven ninety nine out Fox. It really is like it
leaves such a weird feeling inside because you're like, that
was five years ago. Something happened where it just feels
(11:10):
so odd, like time went super fast since then, because
it like there was it was a major stamp in
our life, right, so everybody remembers it, and then it's
like every time it was so much quicker after that
since right. Yeah, But I what I don't want to
do is how this get political. But I do want
to bring up one point that I think one of
the big negatives besides obviously this affecting people, you know,
(11:31):
certain people, the elderly compromised people did get affected. Died.
I think I think that the reality is that it
separated us more than ever. Like I think we were
politically divided a little bit before that. You know, there
are people that love Trump payt Trump. But I think
during COVID, I think that how people treated COVID, we
(11:53):
were more separated than ever before. And I saw this
firsthand because I live out here in La my wife's
from ten. We were renovating our house. We went back
and forth from Texas to La every three weeks to
check on the progress of our house. I'd come back
here to La, people would be double masks walking down
the street. I'd go to Texas and our friends would
be like, want to good dinner? And I remember being like,
(12:16):
we are living in different worlds. I had friends. I'd
go out for a brunch with my friends in Texas.
Then I'd come back here and I'd be like her guards,
I'm were on a mask. Like I remember being like,
what world do we in? Because depending on where you lived,
you acknowledged it or you didn't. And it was very interesting.
Mostly different levels of yeah, precaution, hating talking about it
like puts me into a place that I hate actually
(12:37):
have to stand up because it gives me anxiety. I
hate it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Let's
go to the phones, Let's say hi to Justin in
South Dakota. Justin, what do you remember from five years
ago when you were watching Joe Exotic?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Well, I never seen Joe Exotic, but I was going
through a stage four Van Hodgkins and Poma cancer for it.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, well, it's good news he's here with us. You
know what I had for You're here?
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah? And Max Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
What a hard time for people to have medical issues
because if you remember, we all started missing our Dennis appointments.
We weren't going to check ups anymore. No one's getting
a haircut exactly. And if you were sick or you
had someone unfortunately pass away in the.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
House, you needed hip surgery. What if you needed someone
called electic?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
You're like, I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Danny's right, Sam. I have a friend who lost their father,
not to COVID, he passed away with something else, but
they couldn't even be with him in the hospital. Yeah,
is horrible. I think another thing, dude, I started giving
friends haircuts. I had clips and I was good at it.
So even Spotty a haircut. There's a video where our
video guy spot he was even lazier then. That's if
(13:50):
that's possible. But I remember he had not got a
haircut for a month, and then COVID happened, so he
was like overly due for haircuts. So one day while
we're doing the radio show from Home stuff, the Cavino
gave him a sweet fade and we're like wow, and
that's when people started getting floabies again. Yeah, George Clooney
was one of them, right, I remember him talking about it. Rich,
hold on, before you go to call you. Your kids
(14:12):
would have been very young when COVID struck, right, So
I'm thinking about all the parents who either had like
kids between the ages of zero to five, or the
parents that had to like educate, like homeschool their kids
and work Sam. I think sounds i'd like about the
most stressful home life ever. I think about how grateful
I am that my kids were too young during.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
COVID, But you had to be around them twenty four
to seven, right for for a while. On a side
note though, selfishly, Yeah, my son was a newborn, so
it was sort of a yeah, good time, right, I
can't talk yet. He kept people in germs away.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, not only did he just got to be home, no,
meaning I was stuck at home when I had my
son was born in February of twenty twenty, so when
he was one month old, COVID happened. So I was
the dad that was able to be there and help
my wife all the time, because go to work. No
one's going to work. So selfishly, I was like, not
a bad time to have a baby during COVID. However,
(15:07):
if you had kids that were in school, what an
fan nightmare. Imagine your your teenage kids in high school
and every day they're on their laptop trying to learn
from yourn.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You're maybe trying to work from home, and think about
how how like what cabin fever you'd have and at home.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Not only that I was telling Kevino earlier, Imagine you're
the dad or mom that's saved for your kid's college
tuition and you have tens of thousands of dollars and
your kids sitting in the kitchen doing college. Meanwhile you're
spending tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
You know what gives me anxiety, Covino? The fact that
we had to eat through door dash and Uber Eats
and all that.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh I still do touchless delivery, that's that stuck around.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah I did, but I had never used those services
until COVID, and Rich never.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Washed his hands before COVID. That's facts, that's the truth. Yeah, facts,
we were gross before COVID. I went back to not
washing my hands. On back to the phones again. What
do you remember from five years ago? This week? Keep
it light? Yeah, trip in Vegas? What's up?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Trip?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Hey guys, Good to have you all back. Miss jall
last week, Thanks Bud. Still listen though, but Miss jaw U.
Two things well, especially being in Las Vegas. One, you
just mentioned door dash that created something that stinks that
contactless delivery equals. I mean, I'm not a DoorDash driver,
but that meant people didn't have to tip. That's number one.
And then the second thing is I've got pictures. I
(16:25):
took my girlfriend at the time. I was like, we
got to go do this. I've got walking on the
strip by the Bolagio and all that. I felt like
Will Smith and I am legend. There was nothing on
the street. I have like we're out.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I have a video trip outside of the Staples Center
before it was crypto, right, Covino and I used to
work at ESPN downtown La. I have a video that
looks like a ghost town. It looks like honestly, like
you said, I am legend. Will Smith was there. It
was that it was the weekend after everyone was quarantined,
and I'm like, guys like, look at downtown LA. It's
(16:58):
nothing's here. So uh, let's go to Jen in Michigan.
What's up, Jen?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Good evening here from Michigan.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Seven or.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
Three years before I found out I had sleep at nia,
So wearing those masks it was hard on me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, that it was hard for a lot of people,
and especially with little kids that are trying to learn
and mask.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
It was.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It was a rough time.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
You know what, if you put one of those masks
on for some reason right now, it's weird. A few
minutes in you're like, how did we do this? For
hours and hours on end?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Again, I hate looking back at that, I really do
and seeing all our little kids go to school that way.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
It was your own breast, your glasses wild, get fogged.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It gave some people some he gave some people some
self awareness about how dank their breath was.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Or you know, if you didn't listen to lady doesn't
do all her makeup or something, she can just throw
the mask on.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
She didn't have to do her list. If you know what,
I had a theory that it was a great time
for ugly people. It was that was a great time
for all people, hot bodies. We said, if you had
bed teeth or bad eyes, if you had a bed,
if you bad teeth or bed nos like you might have,
that was that was your time.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
To shock into my beautiful eyes and look at my
beautiful body.
Speaker 1 (18:12):

down tractor supply? With the Angels and Ron Washington, we'll
get back to that. But we're reminiscing five years ago.
We were introduced to Joe Exotic. This week our lives
(20:06):
were changing. Truthfully, not a fun time to reminisce about,
because I don't know, there's some funny moments unless you
became social media and influencer famous during COVID, because that's
where a lot of these TikTokers started making millions. So,
unless you're an influencer, your career took a good turn,
or you were one of those people that just made
a ton of money in the market, which, by the way,
when you think about what you were doing, I was
(20:28):
one of those guys that, trust me, it didn't work
out all well in the end, but I was one
of those guys. I thought I was a day trader.
I don't know if anyway, Isaac, did you dabble in
that I was Sam. I was one of those guys
that was every day I was buying like penny stocks,
and I'd have great days, bad days. Everyone thought they
were a day trader.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
You know what's weird, I'm numbing this up. Even before COVID.
You know who was a huge day trader Al Michaels
for real.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, during those days like I'd have buddies tip me off, like, hey,
buy this pharmaceutical stock and it would go up like
three hundred percent a day, and by zoom. I remember
telling my wife like, I think this could be my
side hustle. I was a day drinker. My best friend
was Tito's. Tito's was my best friend during that time
in them. Yeah, we started boozing a lot around that
(21:13):
time because we were home and board. I remember, you know,
either making or you know, losing thousands every day in
my life for like six months. But I remember, you know,
hit me up one day and again it's not funny
to joke about alcohol too much, but I remember com
don't hit me up on time. He goes bro like,
how often did you go through a handles of a
handle of Tito's? How many did you have just going
(21:36):
through them?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
What was that? That weird party zoom thing was called
house party, house part. I remember people were going on
a house party just to like communicate on social media
and you're having drinks and you just talking to Randos.
It was a weird time.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I think you guys were both in relationships when COVID started.
I was single at the time. I actually met Brenda
during COVID, the second year of it.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
So how did you feel when you took your mask off?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
It was a surprise when we both took our masks off.
But dating and dating profiles in meeting people was interesting
at the time because you thought you would get ghosted
prior to COVID. You really got ghosted. As far as
actually meeting up with people during COVID, there were even
zoom dates and things that it was virtual dating almost
at the time, it was really strange.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
She gave it to me. What syphilis? No, the VID?
All right, let's go to Chris and Arizona. We'll go
rapid Fire, then we'll go to Isaacrendt update. We'll get
back to that Ron Washington conversation, which, by the way,
the more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm confused.
So I need your help. Chris and Arizona. What's up, Bud?
Speaker 10 (22:39):
Hey, you guys led right into it with the whole
drinking thing. During COVID, my wife I have friends over
every Saturday night, and she's not too fond of it
from time to time, but during COVID she's considered high risk,
so she didn't want us hanging out. So first Saturday,
when Covid really hit, my buddy pulled up in his
(22:59):
truck and sound on the tailgate. We made sure we
were six feet apart, but we still got it done.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, I remember people, do you remember, Like kids would
have drive by birthday parties, like for little kids, like
their pals would like go buy the house like hey,
or like grandparents would talk to their kids. Great kids
were like a dude. So again, we're trying to have
fun with this conversation. Having the conversation, I'm like, this sucks.
Do you know how difficult co parenting was.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Okay, here's a positive we had, especially if you're in
a major city with gridlock traffic. That is the best
time I ever have driven my car in southern Califoria.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh that was a podcast. I'll give you. I'll give
you positive. I told you we were renovating our house
in Los Angeles. I was flying tune from Texas every
two weeks, forty nine dollars one way, and I was
like one of eight people on the plane. It was ridiculous.
And it wouldn't be a show if I didn't bring
up Covino's ex wife once in a while right, because
I love to point that out. I always felt bad
(23:53):
for him. I'll say it so you don't have to.
Some people were more cautious than others. Every time he
had his daughter, she he required like a negative test
when he gave his daughter back.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, it was Yeah, let's talk about the nasal swabs.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I would I would call Coveno like, yo, bro, where
are you? He's like they would have met an urgent care.
I'm like, why he goes? I gotta get my daughter
like every week? Well, because my ex has little ones
didn't want to bring anything compromise back to her every time.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Every time Coveno we entered the network doors here we
took our temperature.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
There was like a workstation. It was weird. Iowa, Sam
kept bending over this where you put it? And remember
we had to get it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
If we had to get a COVID test, though, we
had to like go to some some like uh, you know,
a clinic or something.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We couldn't get one at home.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
How about the shady urgent cares who ripped all of
us off by charging so much money for those tests.
We saw those urgent cares go out of business once
people didn't need the tests anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Can I tell you this is so east coast of me.
I had a COVID guy early on, when tests were
hard to get. I had a guy like a guy,
a guy that would be like yo, hundol, Like I
had a guy that if you gave him on a
hundred bucks, he had a test like. So it was
a weird time, dude. Again, to be honest, I'm almost
regretting we're reminiscing. But you know what, it was five
(25:12):
years ago timestamp. Honestly check this out because this will
mind f you a little bit in a in a
weird way but also a nice way. If you do
search in your gallery, go to your gallery and you
search March twenty twenty, you could see right where you
were before this happened, and right where you were right
around this time. You're like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I went to a I went to a Bond Scott
tribute night and Bill Burr was one of the acts
doing like a twenty minute stand up bit and it
was all like a CDC covers and that was like
while COVID was sort of drifting out into the masses,
and someone made a joke, They're like, I have COVID
right now, and Bill Burr was like, get out of here.
So it was crazy. We all felt kind of weird
(25:54):
to be there, but we're like, let's do this.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, rapid fire Patrick in Spokane. What's up man, what's up?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Boys?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Yeah, it was crazy times back then.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
We went to a concert up in Canada. I love
up here in Spokane right before it, and things were
getting weird and on our way back, like everything got
shut down, and I just wanted to give a shout
out to the people that didn't get shut down. I
worked for a very large package disretribution company, not the
Brown one, but the other one.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 9 (26:25):
Yeah, we we didn't got shut down. We got slammed. Dude,
we got smoke during that time.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
So, you know, shout out to all the hard workers.
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
We talked about if you want to forget all the
negative or the positive, but if you want to talk
about the things that changed in your life. We talked
about how there are people that started working from home
even half the time that still work from home that
never was essentials and non essentially. Yeah, that's right, Like
the people there's so many people that went to an
office every day of their life and from covid on
They're like, yeah, I work from home half the time,
(26:52):
so there are we had never used the word quarantine
as much like in this past two weeks five years ago,
then right now you remember club quarantine, Quarantino, Covino's what
they call that. Ohio, Nick, You're on what's up?
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Many, What's up?
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey, bud Man.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
I kind of want to approach the angle here, and
you've danced around that a little bit, but I kind
of appreciate you guys in there and let me elaborate.
But man, the things was so crazy, like you couldn't
do anything the way you did it before. And my
whole life i've worked, I've been a sports fan, and
the one thing that's kind of always been the same
(27:30):
is an hour and a half of Ben Mallor on
the way to work in the morning, an hour and
a half of Cavino and Rich in the evening. And
everything that was on media was like fear mongering and
this and that. But man, every morning you guys were there,
you know, and it was just it was normal. It
made stuff feel normal, It made it feel like it
would eventually go back to normal.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So you know, out on the back in the in
the like here it's it's it's very eyrolly to say,
but I sort of felt proud that Cavino and I
never missed one day like COVID happened and we're like, all, well,
just we were each other's uh what do you call
it when you uh, what do they call the people
close to you? Like your au No, not your inner circle?
Remember it was like you not the people you quarantined with, Remember,
like your inner circle people. They're like a stupid name
(28:11):
for it, like you're whatever. It was, Oh, there was
a term. I forgot it? Well was it? There was
like a term for like the people in your circle,
like like they're in my blank and it was like
the people that you were around without a mask, like, oh, no,
they're in my whatever. Did we call ourselves woo tang? Yeah, yeah,
we were client you know, just for optics. You want
to hear something ridiculous and I get it. Maybe we
(28:33):
were working at serious extem at the time. We worked
together every day. Would you believe on video they made
us go on different cameras even though we were in
the same room because they didn't want anyone to think
we were in the same room. And I'm like and
I was like, dude, we lived down the block from
each other and we're best buds. We're still hanging out.
And they were like, yeah, yeah, but for perception reasons
(28:54):
like opting two cameras. Yeah, that's how it was.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
That was my introduction to you guys. The very first
time I saw you two working together was during COVID
and I got it in the caller hit on it
a little bit, but I got to give props to
all the tech producers, the executive producers.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Here, the editors here here. The whole time.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
They gave us FEMA cards because the network's in charge
of EAS alerts for the country and stuff like that.
So we were we were considered essential workers. We did
not miss a shift, We could not miss a day,
and you know, hopefully you didn't get sick.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Thank goodness. I didn't come down with COVID during that stretch, but.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
We all had to be here physically in the network
while all the hosts were from their home on you
know the satellite feed.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Hey hey yay, Yeah, it was crazy. Push through it all.
Two quickies. We'll go to Isaac and we'll get back
to our Ron Washington hypothetical what's up, Johnny boy Virginia
BEACHRI'SI man.
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Hey, hey he's going guys.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
What's up? Buddy?
Speaker 5 (29:53):
I doing good?
Speaker 10 (29:55):
I had heard that Las Vegas had a problem. They
couldn't lock the doors because those doors were never.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Made with locks. You know.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's that's like, there isn't a joke like seven Eleven's
don't have locks on their doors because they're open twenty
four hours. You know, it's uh. I do remember Vegas
going to Vegas soon after COVID. I remember they had
the shields up between you and the dealers. How weird
that was?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Can we not sneeze guard?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
During the During the break, Cavino was saying, how it's
it's almost like anxiety ridden to have this conversation because
we've come you know, we're sort of like, you know,
back to normal in society, but really sort of Sea
blocked a lot of people's lives and relationships and work
and a lot of stuff. So even talking about it sucks.
It just going to make you appreciate how things are
right now. Yeah, resilient we are, Yes, things bad things happen,
(30:40):
And you know, I don't care about your personal take
on COVID because we all have our own thoughts. But
to think here we are back to back to normal, right.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I won't say this. Those stimulus checks we got h
could have been like doubled. They didn't quite go far enough,
especially for people who are trying to get by. You're
like you still you find it about your stimy check.
Here's like fifteen hundred dollars. But like it was like
the inflation was starting to take a hold or something.
But I'm like these uh disappeared. This money went bye
bye in like a second. We'll take a lot more money,
one more to wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Who do we got? Speaking of Vegas and in.
Speaker 11 (31:12):
Vegas, yeah, good things come to those too. Way.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
So things I.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
Remember most about COVID I started Facebook gambling like pool
tabs and these being go groups and all different types
of like random gambling that people would just be hosting
online and these chat rooms on TikTok and everything else.
But then also I got pregnant during that lockdown and soon.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Down during lockdown.
Speaker 11 (31:44):
Yeah, so so distancing didn't work out. But it was
like my first kid, and it was terrible because of
a quarantine situation, Like I had to go to all
my appointments alone, even for delivery, like my doctor at
the hospital, I was originally going to go to Saint
Rose and like they were allowing even the thoughts come
in for deliveries, like seriously a loan.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
It was a sucky time to be a pregnant mom. Hey,
you know what, you maybe think of something because you
said Vegas and it would only be Coveno on rich
esque to end this conversation on a smutty note, but
what happened to strippers during COVID? They started only fans exactly,
strippers into only fans because all these young women that
(32:26):
were making their money lap dancing and touching and grinding
and gropey that was no longer on the table. Hamedians
everybody had a peptly fans. Yep. Comedians started podcasts exactly
like it. You know, think about that two layers and
we'll move on. Just remind yourself COVID comedians podcasting strippers
only fans. Bo Burnham did a special from home if
(32:48):
you remember that, so again five years ago. If you
want to chime in on your memories, hit us up
at Covino and Rich and when we get back again,
we continue with this Ron Washington story. Maybe talk a
little Bronnie Isaac lowing cron what's doing in the world
of sports, my friend?

Guys, back to you, thank you, Isaac Lowincron And by
the way, as I said, oh you know, I'm allowed
to say one more time, one in nine point two
quintillion chance of having a perfect bracket. No, you retired.
I retired it all right. Listen, we got more Covine
on Ritch. We'll talk a little Ron Washington next right
here on Fox Sports Radio, mister telephone man, huh throwing
(35:08):
it back on a Thursday new edition. Covino and Rich

Com studio. Now, a few reminders. Tomorrow we're gonna play

steel water bottle. You can qualify to win by leaving

(35:30):
and Rich follow rate and review. But tomorrow quote me
the game this sweep in the nation. And right after
this show Rich, we go live on Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page eleven minutes from now perfect. We're gonna be
talking brackets, but in a way where we make fun
of them. We're gonna talk about baseball. Get you fired
up for baseball. We're a week away baseball cards. We're
(35:52):
gonna actually unpack a few cards from nineteen ninety and
lots of new foods at the ballpark. We break it
down on over promised our bonus pod again Fox Sports
Radios YouTube page. Right after this, you can join us
live and chat live with everyone else hanging out with us.
You know you should be happy. I see her in
the anchor studio, Mancy Belanos. I see a lot of
(36:13):
stadiums are offering some more vegan options in the food department.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, I mean, it is nice to see, but you know,
I really am going to indulge in like the desserts
and the suites that aren't necessarily vegan.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You're not gonna have the you're not gonna have sixty
You're not gonna have a sixteen inches sausage at Dodger Stadium?
Is it vegan or vegetarian?
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I would try it, I do. I've seen the bat
that fills up with popcorn that I want.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
That's that's a big trend. And Kavino and I were
going to discuss that a little more and overpromise that
starts stadium fights or not bats filled.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Up with you can't hurt each you know what? Like
at Iowa Cubs games triple at Cubs you can get
a beer bat. I think every food and drink should
be served out of a bat. The beer bats just
like this long beer you can drink well, but.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Then you can't put it down. Roger Stadium has a
beer back, but you can't put it down.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Isn't it like a flat portion at the bottom where
you can kind of bounce it?
Speaker 5 (37:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Not really, mah bummer.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
How about someone invent that?
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Well?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Remember to join us on over promise Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page in ten minutes, and remember to set us
to be number one on your preset on the iHeartRadio app.
It's a new feature again Fox Sports Radio. On the
iHeartRadio app, look for Cavino and Rich and thank you
guys for hanging out with us. Now we gotta wrap
it up with Ron Washington again. I think it's a
great idea, Rich because, like I said, it's it's a
(37:31):
no fail experiment. If they do terrible, it's not because
they didn't have their cell phones. And you have to
think about how much of a distraction it is, especially
when you're trying to make a change, right you're trying
to do something different, like when players are being hit
up by their wife east throughout the day and baby
mama drama and they're distracted with social media. You know
(37:52):
he's there trying to win, like take away the distractions
for a little while. So the least you could do
if you're serious about winning when you're getting paid that
much money. I get you with kids. I said this
to my wife yesterday. Anytime my son or daughter are like,
hey Dad, can we you know, do ground balls outside?
Or hey do you want to can we ride? Bikes
or do something. I'm always gonna say yes, because if
(38:13):
they're choosing that over their iPad, you'd be a terrible
parent if you're like, no, no, I can't go do
your You made me think of one thing though, you know,
I do think it's a good idea for one Washington
to take the phones away so that chemistry could build, relationships,
coul build we can communicate as a team. But if
you are a parent, you never want to be that
far away from your phone in case they need you
for an emergency, so that that is problematic. I never
(38:37):
want to be too far away from my phone my
battery dies. My first concern is what if my daughter's
trying to get a hold of me? So how do
you balance that? That would be something I'd be, you know,
concerned about. I think Mike Trout and other team leaders
have been put in charge of, you know, administering fines
and stuff like that. Hey, maybe maybe there's a how
about this. There's a clubhouse almost like a batphone, like
(38:58):
the hotline, where it's like hey listen, wives, girlfriends, now others, Like, hey,
if there's an emergency, there's someone on hand at all times.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
The famous Joe Montana story where he'd call out to
from all the different stadiums.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
And by the way, there's a related story today where
Bronnie James, who's probably getting some playing time tonight against
the Bucks. Ronnie James said that he sees and reads
and hears all the criticisms. He sees it all and
it sort of motivates him. But how about for the
people that gets in their walls and gets in their head?
You think they really need that when you're trying to
(39:32):
play their best before a big game. I don't think
it's that productive for these players. The reason I'm torn
on this could you notice that when you hear stories
of school saying no phones, I think that's a great
idea when you say hey to your kids, rather go
outside and play wiffleball or go on their iPads. Of
course whiffleball ten out of ten times. I'm just saying.
These are grown men with wives, girlfriends, Gumaud's side girls, kids, moms,
(39:55):
aging parents. I just feel like taking away a grown
man's phone is like, come on, imagine something like Cavino
hand it over you beat you tell him to beat it, school,
the workplace, dinner. You know, this is the workplace. Yeah,
I get it right, and if it's clearly it's problematic too.
These guys are spending more time on their phone than
they are building chemistry while getting to know each other.
(40:18):
If the Angels aren't twenty five games under five hundred,
will consider it a victory. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (40:23):
Right?
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Hey, you gotta upload ron Washington for trying to do
something different.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
And Cove you brought up the Lakers besides the attorney
Lakers Bucks, no Luca, no lebron Of course, Austin Reeves
is now hurt, Finney Smith is hurt, Vanderbilt is hurt,
so is Dalton. Connect gonna go for forty tonight and
Bronnie will definitely get some playing it is tonight.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Let's honestly prop bet is tonight Bronnie's highest point total
ever should be. I mean, you just named like five
players that that put up points. So unless they plan
on scoring sixty five points, maybe Bronnie scores five to ten.
People mess around and get a triple double. It's gonna
be cool to see. Definitely reason to watch tonight. Sure well, hey,
have a great Thursday night over Promised is up next
(41:03):
to our bonus podcast and then tomorrow back here on
an action packed Friday, so we appreciate all the support
at covin on Rich. We'll post a link where you
could play along live on the YouTube channel right all
rive it there at you baby, see you in the
over Promised Land. Goodbye later
