Covino & Rich are in for the great Dan Patrick on Wednesday as Dan and the Danettes were travelling to Las Vegas for their live broadcasts on Thursday and Friday. They react to the LeBron James Lakers’ debut this season! Is this a new passing-machine version of LeBron? They look ahead to a big test at start of next year when LA hosts OKC in February. Then, Comedian and impressionist Frank Caliendo drops by the set after DP and the Danettes get to Vegas and brings a whole cast of characters with him, from Joe Biden to Jon Gruden to Morgan Freeman, and he even attempts an impression of Fritzy. Michael Douglas also stops by the set and talks about how he thought about being a race car driver instead of an actor, and how he went airborne in a car once and thought he was getting fired.

Because I pitied a fool that doesn't so good morning,
we're here, We're Cavino and Rich Peewee's voice a little
too high at this hour. Remember it's earlier here in LA.
We're in Los Angeles, the mean streets of LA. We're
lifing the barrio right now. Rich Davis is in Texas,
so call him hop along Dickey, but call us up
and say what's up? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
(02:38):
We got to kick it off with less p W.
Herman impressions way back in a Wednesday and more Lebron James,
Lebron James. Yeah, it's uh, it's happening. And when I
say it's happening, I mean the Lakers are coming together.
Lebron's healthy again, Lebron James. And you got Awestin Reeves,
(03:00):
the unassuming goofy white dude, and you got Luca and
they were saying, oh, it is my oldly race related
that I wouldn't say racist. Racist has this negative connotation
to it. Race related. Yeah, I'm a white guy. I'm
allowed to say I'm a goofy white guy. I'm allowed
to say Austin Reeves is one of me. Rich is
(03:21):
the president, So I'm the president of goofy white guy
club I'm trying to recruit Austin Reeves for for years.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I have a couple of friends who are goofy white guys.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I sent them an application. He's like, I'm in. But
now the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Last night, Danny g you must have been salivating over
watching those three stars work together. They look dominant at times,
and we talked about it yesterday on our show.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So let me just reiterate that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Austin Reeves gets not enough credit for what he's bringing
to the table. You know what I thought about last night, Danny.
As a Niners fan, if you're new to coven On Rich,
we appreciate you hanging with us And for Dan Patrick.
I'm a big forty nine Ers fan because Austin Reeves
was not drafted to because he's unassuming. There's a little
rock purty vibe with him, meaning like, oh shucks, like
(04:07):
it takes a little more to impress people. It takes
circus numbers. It takes for him to lead the team
and put up circus numbers to get the credit that
he's deserved for a minute. Now, he's playing in Los Angeles,
he's playing with superstars, he's playing big, He's leading a
team for the most part, he deserves that superstar sort
(04:28):
of recognition, like he should be a household name, and
unless you're a basketball fan, especially a Lakers fan, you
really don't know who he is, and by now you should.
In fact, his goofy sort of attitude should also make
him more of a star, but it's not. However, I
think when his name's in the same sentence as Kobe
as it was this week and he starts climbing those Lakers' rankings,
(04:53):
yeah he's gonna get that recognition he deserves. But again,
he had to go above and beyond because of his
unassuming ways, I think to get that recognition. Just this week,
Austin Reeves is the second most twenty five point games
by a Laker guard since two thousand. Only Kobe had more.
So second to Kobe, that's unreal. He's in serious company.
(05:14):
He went five for nine from deep against the Bucks
and officially passed Caldwell Pope for seventh place on the Lakers'
all time three points list. So he's making three points
left and right. He has five hundred and twenty three
threes in two ninety one games.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's before yesterday's game, and.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yesterday numbers he lit it up yesterday, props him. Luca
had thirty seven points. Reeves had twenty six points and
was leading for a while. He had that four point
play that Danny g got all excited about. Lebron James
eleven points. But here's where you were getting that rich.
I could see what's happening. We didn't have a clue.
(05:55):
I'm not sure the league had a clue, because we're like,
how was Lebron gonna fit into this twelve dish?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In the ball around?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And I quote Danny g he's still doing his producer
stuff right now. I quote Danny g Man, it's look,
he was Magic Johnson.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Up, dude, golight, let's slop magic Johnson.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
First of all, it don't sound anything like that. I said.
He was dropping Magic Johnson like passes.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Man, it was like magic Johnson, you know something about
All I heard was your Johnson or Johnson or something.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
What he turned into like a quarterback, a game manager,
if you will.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He really did. It really looked that way.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And here's my most obvious we call this on the
CNR showgram an obvious servation. Here's my observation watching the game.
The most obvious one it really looked for the first
time in forever, Okay, Elsa like Lebron James was having fun.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It looked like he was. I get it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It was his return excited, but there was a different
vibe and a different level of fun and excitement from
Lebron James. And that's fun and excitement you need to have,
I think to win in this league. When there was
too much pressure on Lebron, it wasn't fun and it
was all on him. If he's able to dish it
around like this, man, they're unstoppable. I've said it prisoner
(07:13):
of the moment, but I mean it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Let's go well.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I love that phrase prisoner of the moment because I'm
gonna say a very prisoner.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Of the moment type of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They're eleven and four. They're not They're not like average.
The Lakers are good. But there's a team in the West.
You might have heard of them, the Oklahoma City Thunder,
who might lose like three games all year. They just
don't lose. Okay, see, just doesn't lose. Here's my question.
(07:41):
If Lebron's playing fun and we know the end is
the year, and I do have the sentiment that when
all said and done. Lebron retires, I think we're gonna
look back at times and say, you know what, we
were hard on him. We didn't really appreciate him. The
constant comparisons to Mjay and Kobe and Yo. I know
he said and did it to himself with the whole
not one, not two, three, four five. Are we still
(08:02):
hanging on to that Lebron Miami Heath recently? No, Rich,
I'm not a Lebron lover. I gotta make that clear.
I'm not a hater either, right. I respect greatness and
have admired his career. He kicked off season twenty three.
I believe he kicked it off with a three right.
Danny g a sweet bucket to kick it off, and
that passes Vince Carter most all time twenty three seasons.
(08:25):
You know, when I see him with his Lebron Aham
Lincoln beard and it's getting a little gray and he's
just rocking that thinned out sort of look. I'm looking
at him not with the same lens that I looked
at him before, not five, not six, not seven. I'm
looking at him now as a guy who has his
(08:45):
son in the league. He's having fun, he has the
ability to switch his game up. But he has this
wisdom about him now and at least like even that
look in his face, like he looks older now. And
I don't know, man, I'm rooting for him in a
different away, like, yo, dude, have one at least one
more great season and stick it to this OKAC team. Man,
(09:07):
they're young, but he's Lebron, and they have superstars. They've
got Luca, They've got Bronni off the bench hitting threes.
Oh stop it, don't, don't be making it sound like
Bronni is like like a tributor. That's a dope moment. No,
but even eight and had twenty points. I didn't even
bring that up. He had twenty points. If Lebron's able
to dish it around, they made some crazy passes last night.
(09:28):
I looked at him as a guy yesterday, to answer
your question, old Rich, not a guy that you wanted
to roll your eyes at. I looked at him as
a guy who we've seen grow up. In fact, we've
grown up with together, and he's getting older and I
can only root for that. I saw Lebron the man
last night, not Lebron the attitude having basketball player comano
(09:48):
you and I have been together a long time as
a radio you know, friendship and partnership. We saw Lebron
go from Cleveland to Miami to the Lakers. That we've
seen the journey, and I would say, run the boards.
I know we play that clip all the time, the
not three, not four, not five.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Not two, not three, not four, not five?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Are we still holding it against Lebron his one like
because it came across so arrogant and never really came
to fruition. They want a few in Miami. But I
look at Lebron now and dare I say, as the
season continues and Oklahoma City right now in Vegas is
a plus one seventy five to win the NBA Finals,
they are like like leaps and bounds above anyone else.
(10:34):
As favorites to win back to back NBA titles, the
Lakers one two, three, four five, They're like they got
the six best odds at plus fourteen hundred. Could there
be a sentiment that the Lebron haters maybe change their
tune and it becomes the fun story.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Like yo, Lebron one more before it's all done?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Like yes, he'd be a sentiment where if he brings
the energy and like he brought upon himself. He shouldn't
have to do that, but he does come with that
sense of not two, not three, not four, sense of
arrogance and and Lebron and me Bron and things like that.
If he plays with the same energy and attitude that
he had last night, it's contagious.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's likable.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's fun when when other people, I mean, it's just
I don't know if it's science, but it is. If
other people are having fun, you want to have fun
with him, and it's contagious.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
What's the theory, It's the Neil Strauss theory.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, Danny J Spot, I was Sam everyone listening all
the dan Etts and dan Patrick audience. I remember back
in the day, there was like remember like in the
two thousands, it was like a hot thing to like
have these like dating coaches.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Not not people have dating.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Coaches, but these guys would write books about how to
get the attention to women. Like it's like corny stuff.
But there was one thing I remember thinking, all right,
that's not corny, that's true, and it was if you're
at a bar with your buddies and you guys are
laughing and having fun, somehow women will infiltrate your group
because you are having fun. When you're having fun and laughing,
(12:08):
not even enjoying yourself, like subconscious subconsciously, it's like, what's
going on over there?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
What's so funny? What are these guys?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You're to guess where everyone's eyes go, Coudino, Besides the
hot booties. If you're in Vegas, everyone looks at the
craps table where everyone's high five and cheering, like, Yeah,
what's going on over there? Everyone's having fun? I want
to get in on that.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
We are.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
We gravitate towards fun and people really, you know, bringing
the vibe. And I think Lebron with his mean face
in Miami, like, yeah, let's go, baby, pounding his chess
not two, not three, not four. That's that's a young Lebron.
This is a end is near. I got some gray
in my beard, I got wisdom. I'm an old dude,
you know, like as you know, like he's looking more
(12:51):
like Morgan Freeman than like a young man. Now he's
he's Lebron's not young, And dude, I noticed that yesterday.
Is he an incredible shape? Absolutely? The guy's a specimen.
That's not my point. He's not out there hobbling around
like an old cream abdul Jabbar or something. This guy's
in great and incredible shape. But he doesn't have to
be that star anymore, and I think he's accepted that.
(13:13):
In fact, Danny G said that he made a gesture,
and it's sort of implied that maybe we get more
out of Lebron because he doesn't have to be everything
for everyone because he has other people to play around him. Danyg,
you said when he made a gesture, that's sort of.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
What, yeah, conferring when he checked out of the game
or was checked out of the game by Reddick, and
I'm always gonna call it. Staple Center crowd gave him
a standing oh for his passing performance. Basically at the
end of the game, he kind of made a gesture
like this is what I'm gonna do now because he
had more assist than points, and you.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Know what, if he could unselfishly make that his game,
because that's an ego thing too, when you're putting up
twenty five to thirty your whole career. Yeah, he's double digits.
I think that was the priority, right, Yeah, you help
me keep that going. Yeah, but I'm saying if you
could throw ten to fifteen assist in there and maybe
(14:10):
score eighteen or score twenty or sixteen. If that's the
Lebron game, we forget that Magic Johnson wasn't scoring thirty
points a game that's very similar to Now I made
funny when you compare him, but that's a very similar
to Magic Johnson type of game when we were little kids,
scoring points, but more so being a leader out there.
And if Lebron could do that with a smile on
(14:32):
his face, dare I say that the public, well, all
of a sudden, look at Lebron as a face again,
like you know how John Cena just went from good
guy to heel back to good guy. Like maybe we
see Lebron James go back to good guy. Maybe Lebron James,
he won't be gassed. It's not all on him. He's
got people he could dish it too. And when I
say dish it, we're talking like Globe trotter Magic Johnson.
(14:55):
Like passes last night. If you didn't see it because
it was a late game on the West coast, across
the court, he made a sweet pass across the court. Again,
I even said it, but Bronni did get in there
hit a nice three point shot. You see him fire
it up about that. It was a really fun vibe.
We're just telling you it's his return. It was a
different Lebron last night. It really really was. Again, it's
(15:16):
one game, and it was the Jazz, the five and
what are they?
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Five and nine? And the five and nine Jazz. They
have a young team, but you saw him at the
start of the game. They had a double digit lead
over the Lakers, and I think all Laker fans watching
and basketball fans watching around the world were like, ah,
look at Lebron's gonna clog things up here we go.
The chemistry is not going to match here. But quickly
they figured it out. By the third quarter, they were
all clicking together. To go back to Rich's point about
(15:41):
the thunder though, Rich, I know you loved to schedule watch. Yeah,
let's look at February ninth. That is, Rich loves to
look at the schedule.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Gid schedule watching. Yeah, oh I love looking at the schedule. Danny,
please take over.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Let's hear this the day after the Super Bowl, so
two things to look forward to that Sunday and then Monday,
February ninth, the Lakers host the Thunder. All right, That's
that's the real test here, because obviously we're at the
very early stages of the NBA season. The Lakers just
got blown out by the Thunder and they bounced back
with a couple of three now double digit wins after that.
(16:19):
But they have to do this against a team like
the Thunder and if they.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Can't and you know what, a couple months, a couple
months together with this crew now to really gel and say,
all right, February that's that's just a date you marked
out on the calendar, the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday.
Where are the Lakers? If healthy, how do they match
up against Okac and Cavino. You know, we talk about
fatigue in sports. We got it with the Chiefs, like
people are, oh my god, I'm so sick of Tailor
(16:44):
and Travis and Mahomes and Andy Reid and that. You know,
we talked about that when it came to MVP and
Aaron Judge not getting the award and people had Aaron
Judge fatigue. It's like, well, guess what, he still deserves
the award. I don't care if for sick of them
or not. And you know, the Dodgers as likable as
they are, there was a sense of like most people
(17:06):
were like, come on, blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I think that people really don't want to see the
Okay City, the Oka say Thunder win. I really don't.
I don't think okay, see you got to think like
gangster Okay, Okay she is. I don't think the thunder
(17:32):
is like this fan favorite, like yo, we want to
see this be a dynasty. I could be wrong, but
they don't got the you know when when when all
the other dynasties did it, whether it's Golden State or
you know, the Bulls when we were kids, or the
Lakers or Celtics, like there was there was a little
something more no offense.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
To s g A.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't think any anyone's like, man, I really want
to see this team run it back a bunch of times.
I think the Lakers if they faced off against Okay
see down the road, I'm way looking ahead. I do
think there's a sentiment that even though the Lakers are
this legendary franchise, I think people would be rooting for
the Lakers. I really do. I think that'd be Lebron
winning one more is way more appealing than Okay, Sea
(18:15):
great for basketball. Just this, you know, it's it's been overseted,
but it's true. When the Lakers are good, the NBA
is more exciting, it's better. There's so many franchises and
sports like that. Lakers are definitely one of them. And
you know, we saw a different side. We're not swinging
if you're new to the Coveno on Rich show, we're
not swinging from the Magic Johnson. We're just tell James,
(18:38):
We're just telling you what we saw last night. And
even the criticism he handled with a smile and a
smirk and fun. And it was, like I said, it
was noticeable. That's why we're pointing at pointing it out.
People were asking Reporters were asking him, Yeah, how'd you
feel about people questioning how you'd fit in with the
chemistry of the team, And like he lad about it.
(19:00):
He's like, come on, man, I could I could win
with anybody. He goes, why is that even a question?
And he proved it. He proved it yesterday in a
big way. If they're able to keep that up, there's
no reason why they shouldn't. The Lakers are back in
the conversation again, even more so, I should say, because
there was question of how's Lebron gonna we questioned it,
(19:20):
how long does it take till they build that chemistry?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
One night yesterday we saw it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
The Lakers win one six, and the side question besides
Lebron's return is why isn't Austin Reeves a bigger star? Well,
he's bound to be. He's gonna be, He already should be.

twenty third, twenty fourth off the Hook Comedy Club in Naples, Florida,

at Frank on stage dot com. Great see again. I
(21:14):
mentioned that going to dinner with you is like going
to dinner with five or six different people.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
So well, it happens like little bits of stories happen
right like we were talking about that. I'll get to
the full story eventually on here. But just hanging out
with William Shatner. I was with him at an event
the other day. I kept trying to lock eyes with
him and try to get him to fight. There was
a kind of like, h what's the problem?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
He's like, I don't talk the way people say I talk.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Why do they do that?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Why do they.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Say I speakless way? I'm like, you're ninety four, I
know why am I zawagerhead ninety four? But people tend
to do that. Captain's lug that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
And when he just talks, he just looks like this.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But you can't help from what need to talk like it?
Speaker 7 (22:01):
But point of view, when you when you impersonate somebody,
imitate somebody, But then what are you going to say
when you use that voice, like the context of it?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
How difficult is that?
Speaker 8 (22:13):
I think that's one of the most difficult things because
otherwise you're just a parrot.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Right.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
If you're doing the voice of the person you're you're
not trying. You're not finding something funny with it. We
were talking about Charlie Sheen on the show a couple
when he was on the show a couple of weeks ago,
and you, I was a setan that noticed the same
thing I did.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
He would repeat the question back that you would.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Ask, yeah, so I I uh, I asked that.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Huh.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
I said that kind of thing, okay, and did that go?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Well?
Speaker 7 (22:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And then if people watch this, you say, so you're saying.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
People this saw people shaw me and you didn't enjoy it?
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Or you did?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Did I?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Did I kill somebody? Did somebody die?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
But in fairness to him, he doesn't remember, though, friend, No, that.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Was the amazing I made a I did a little
social media post that was based on that. It was
Halloween candies and he would he had pixie sticks. I
was like, those straws with sugar in them, that is sugar?
So that is is that sugar? And it was from
this your interview with him that I was like, I
picked up that he says something. The questions it afterward,
like is that is.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
That right or not?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
All right?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I was a live during this, right, So it's it's
it's finding those little pieces.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Terry Bradshaw was easy, not fun if Frank not funny.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Charles Barker thinks everything is terrible.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Nothing Dan, that's really really bad and the shot is not.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Cheating, you know.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
So it's you find those little things. What does the
person do? The old school ones seem to be a
lot easier. I think the newer people are a little
more difficult because people have like the wide rate, like
de Niro's become uh, you know, a caricature of himself.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Everybody does that? Okay, what doing next?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Now?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
He does that?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
He's in the movie Here we Go. Samuel L. Jackson
has a cadence. They the writers write the cadence.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
It's the dua duh dead du du dah.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
And you you know there's certain words in there too, right,
But that's the that's the song about how many Christopher
Walkins have you heard?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Low Hi in the middle?
Speaker 8 (24:14):
But you know who it is, right because of that
little song that they sing.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Does Gruden know that he's doing Gruden when he talks?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I think, I no, I don't know why he can't.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I can't really tell, but he's he's into it so much.
I mean, he is Gruden times a million. I mean
when he was a coach, there were a lot of
people that you know, it was it was a love
and hate kind of thing. Now people just seem to
love him. He's opening boxes every year. We gotta here, man,
let's open this thing up. It's gonna be pretty good
right here.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
He's one of those guys that gets excited out of
nowhere when I when I did that hard knocks with him.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I'm gonna yell for no reason.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
Man, Why am I mad?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
So you don't think Gruden's playing Gruden.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
I think he just is free. I think he's free
in just doing what he wants to do. I think
that's kind of it. He's just free to be himself,
Like he would do crazy things on Monday Night Football
when when he was there, there were some certain and
he just is doing that type of stuff all the time.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
But you can't. It's one of those guys that hit
you when he talks. It's like, yeah, man, you like that.
Huh yeah, be careful.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
You ever see his hands. His hands sound like wreck
at Ralph for something like that. They're just massive. You know,
he puts them up. He's doing this kind of thing,
like he's doing a magic reveal here.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
We call this the Prestige.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
You ever get thirteen minutes into that movie, man, I'll
tell you what, it's a pretty good one.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
I should see the ending tricks. Yet, when you know
when to retire somebody, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I bring him back little bits.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
I mean, that's That's one of the things.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Is like, is John Madden always going to be.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Well with the Madden movie coming back? And I think
I'll talk to you guys about that. That'll be big again.
It's like, and they I don't know if I brought
this up to you guys before, but they asked me
to audition for that movie for the part of Howard Kosel.
Like I wasn't gonna get it, but I think they
just wanted me to talk to Nicholas Cage about being
Do you know if I talked about this?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
But I guess I could just tell the story again.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
But it was it was I got a text from
my agent Nicholas Cage and the director want to call you,
want to do a zoom call with you.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I'm like, no, Like, what do you mean?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
No, I'm like, no, I want to hang out with
Nicholas Cage if I'm gonna give him the recipe of
the Madden. I want to hang out with Nicholas Cage
in Vegas. I want to do Leslie Stall Walk and Talk.
I want to write sidecar to the ghost Rider. I
want to be there. I want him to show me
his exotic animals. Like here's my monitor lizard. What would
John Madden say to this monitor lizard?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
We're gonna steal the Declaration of Independence?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Ool?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
So it's like I wanted that kind of a thing.
I didn't want to do a zoom. Its static, you know,
and he could get out of at any time. I wanted
to force him to have to. And that's probably why
they didn't do it. Was they they didn't want to
take that time. But John Mann never liked me. He
finally kind of turned aroun when I met him at
the Super Bowl years later, but it wasn't I didn't
know anything about him like that. I think they were
(27:04):
trying to do research and that that's what it was
going to be. They were gonna try and ask me
a bunch of questions about John Man, like I didn't
really know him. I just met him.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Once.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Do you do a Howard Cosell, I don't.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
And it was this is Howard coach that. I mean,
it would be that and bad the whole time. And
one of the reasons I don't do is because it's
so old that some of the impressions I've done throughout
the years, I'm like, well, this is like you said
you when you retire them.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Well, that Howard.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Cosell was you know, two generations before John Madden.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
It gets a little weird there, and who remembers only
the oldest of people. Remember you do Howard Cosell on
a TikTok video? Nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I mean that.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Then the next thing that plays because you're in the
algorithm is uh.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Billy Crystal doing it from forty years and sixty years ago.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I didn't even know you could do it anymore. So
I throw I threw in a Billy Crystal. And you know,
with a comedian, it's trickier. If you're in a band
and you play the hits, well, then you get to
play the hits the next place, in the next place.
But as a comedian, like in a year from now,
you can't have the same stand up act up, saying.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
It's to evolve and and people and people's voices changed.
By the way, this this the Fonder Blue Hotel. I
told you this when you texted me about coming here.
This is my go to hotel and it's because of
your show. I listen, when you guys were here at
the super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I heard you there.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
We were coming for NBA uh Summer League, and I
was like, where should we stay my son? I look, oh,
that's uh, that's Founded Blue and I'm like, that's where
Dan was.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
It's gotta it's gotta be good if the if the if.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Dan's there, so uh, and we looked at the price
and like, holy cow, we were here. We actually booked
another place to go afterward, like we're going back to Fundablue,
like because we didn't know what it was going to be, like.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
We checked out.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
We ended up coming back and now this is this
is where I stayed most of the time.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
So where was I going with?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
That?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
We were we were talking about that.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Oh well voice has changed too, So here's here's another
thing too. So if you heard on the TV, that's
what made me think of Mountain Blue on the TV's
The Hall of Uh excellent. I was gonna say, Brady,
but that's playing and it's Morgan Freeman narrating it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
But he's ninety year old Morgan Freeman. Look how ol.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Liza Shatner's like, he's a young man. But if you
listen to Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Now, he's much older man. He's like that, this is
Morgan Frame. It's not that thing, you know. Truth of
the matter is it's not that anymore. It's even and not.
This isn't a political thing.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
But if you listen to Donald Trump now, he doesn't
have the same voice he had ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Everybody, a lot of people do that.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
Well, you know that, big I do the quite the
very quiet the library Trump with the tremendous books in
the library. They're great books there with some of the
best words, and they get the greatest words, and these
words form something called sentences, and the sentences they end
up making sense, and we do.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I like what he does that.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Then I got to eaven it out with a little Biden. Right, folks,
come on, what are you doing? You think I don't
have to tell you why. Jack mac grubbers in Pennsylvania
thirty forty five six. It's like a drunk auctioneer to
get her six hundred a d.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
He's fall the Roman Empire, the Romans look by the
salad Guycheezer.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Defeated by Mario Luigi Romans fos. Why not sh what's
going on? But how often here's the true bide. Folks
come on like it.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
But with your shows, Wait, where are you going? No,
we're not done yet, mister president, We're not done yet.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
What at your shows?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Though, at the very end you get this everybody just
starts yelling out names.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
People do if I don't get them, like I forget
to do steven A Smith sometimes and I understand I do,
I do?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Uh stephen A talk.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
I think you guys talked about the show steven A
talking about BROWNI after the fact, understand where you're going
with super serious stephen A.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
Oh yeah, where we're going with some of these things.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
And we have to contemplate in perpetuity where it just
trails down.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
The end and nothingness and we're wondering where it is.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
And then once you go down low then it gets
real serious.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Jay Farrow has like the super hyped up version, so
he's got that great.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
By the way, when we're walking.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
I listened to the beginning of the show because I
wanted to hear how you guys talk about when Matt
Friend walked by and I never say hello, Todam. I
don't know him, but he's he's a very good Like
there's some he's great, there's him, there's Jay Farah, there's
a kid named Cameron Logs and my friend John Holmberg
might be one of the best I've ever seen. But
these there's like all kinds of impression people, people doing
impressions on the internet now. But when Eric was like, oh,
(31:49):
looks front like you're walking with me and the most
awkward he he's the greatest pushion.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Over, I was like, I was like, what is going
on here? This is the most of it. I thought
it was kind of cool.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
When we're coming back from dinner, we go into the
hotel and the big German is there, and all of
a sudden he sees this twenty seven year old Matt
Friend who is blown up the last.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Fit tat he's very very good.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
And here's Eric the big German, going, oh my god,
that's my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
He's the best impression. And then all of a sudden
Frank was there.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, eric'say, Oh wait a second. There's very Spirits, he's incredible.
There's Jay Farrell, what's he doing here? There's Ross Mark
Wad They're incredible. Well, these are some of the best
people I've ever seen. Oh freak, what are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (32:30):
I'm already on the show as a friend of the show,
but now it seems that I've gone down the ladder.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
Do you know that I'm texting with Fritzy as we're
walking in the lobby to say, Matt friend I think
is staying at the hotel. We need to get him on.
Paulie is walking and texting Fritzy at the city. So
we're walking with you talking to you while we're going, Hey, Todd,
Matt friend is I think in the hotel. Let's see
if we can get him on. And then Fritzy goes, yeah,
(32:58):
I just heard from Paul and Paul right there next
to me.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
So we're we're doing that when we're walking with you
last night.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I think it's funny.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I'll walk by you guys at the super Bowl, and
the guys, hey, Frank, everybody keeps going nobody text me yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
We walked into the lobby last night and Fritzy wasn't
gonna go to dinner, and all of a sudden, we
see Frank there.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Oh no, this this is what you don't know. I
planned it, No, see one. That was me conniving my
way in. That was I was with Marvin.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
We were watching the Yukon game, which is why I
where the Creighton.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Sure Creighton pull over today.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
I wanted you to ask me, why what's with the
What's with the Creighton they won last night?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Something Connecticut didn't do?
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Damn?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Out of the blue?
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Marvin texted me last week or early in the early
last week. It was he wanted to do a bet Arizona,
which I should have taken. They wanted a pie in
the face bet.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Out of that.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
I was like, oh no, no, no, I was supposed
to be talking about f one. We're supposed to be
talking about Max for stapping.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Piastre. I'll tell you what I mean. These guys. You
ever see Chuck Leclerk, I'll tell you it's Charlotte Claik,
Chuck la Clark. That's what I said.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Man, I don't do French.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Is that where he's from?
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Where's he from?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
You guys don't even know?
Speaker 9 (34:11):
Man, nobody knows where Charlotte Leclore is from.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
But I'll tell you what this gang's We do a
thing called the uh you gotta go to the break
as I saw you grabbing the paper. But we do
this thing called the the f What Experiences, and I
take My daughter is a huge F one fan, and
that's how I get most of my information, so I
know all types of She knows everything. But I'm fifty
one years old at this point, and I get all
(34:35):
the information run so I know little pieces and that's
about it. But this is the first Vegas race I've
missed because I gotta go work in Jackpot, Nevada tonight, which.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Is gonna be cool.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
But the uh going to Jackpot, Yeah yeah, which is
much better than lose your house Nevada.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
I'll tell you I got a moon over him a
little from uh yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
Where you were there and lose your house, Nevana.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
I know it's not good for radio, but it is
good for TV. You've been working on your Fritzy impersonation.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Yeah, it's not doing any radio.
Speaker 12 (35:07):
I gotta get the voice that is like a weird thing,
like you swallow the bottom part of your face.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You're that guy who could eat his face.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
It's kind of like that.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
I've realized that Fritzy basically when he talks, he gets
himself and digs himself into a hole. Then he's like
you're in college doing an essay and trying to fill
a two thousand word essay and you've only got five
hundred words, and.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
He's just feeling.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
He's changing the margins and filling in words and saying
the same thing over and over and over. He actually
we were talking over there. He decided he was done
with the conversation.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
He was going.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
He clapped and one, Okay, all right, Yeah. If Frank
was telling me about the texts and the emails he
gets from Fritzy that are just the minimum of care.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Like I think you really.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
Believe you're being nice, but it's so abrupt.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
He's really Yeah, like I told you about that.
Speaker 8 (35:58):
I told you about doing Jim Gray's fiftieth birthday party
years ago. Muhammad Ali was there, Uh, doctor j Bill Walton,
all these he goes, uh, pretty relevant party, fun to
be at, Like.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I thought, I said, that would have been a great
thing too.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
It would have been fun, would have been a fun.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
I would have been a great experience, so I try
to be extra nice that it comes across as somehow
kind of it does.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
I don't know why I got to work on it,
because that's not what I want to do. That's not
who you are.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
I think you're kind, descending like kind descending like you're
not necessarily you don't mean it, but you you're kind,
but you it's sounding somehow morphs into.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Fake kindness or something which is not a good thing.
Speaker 12 (36:38):
It's just the opposite of kindness. By the time it's done,

Speaker 7 (36:54):
Yesterday, Michael Douglas, we saw him in the hotel and
I said, you want to stop mine talk some for
me to one, And he came by after the show
and we talked about when he was on the show
the last time, and he was in a car club
and he was in high school. So I asked him
if there was ever a point early in his career
where he thought more about being a race car driver
(37:15):
than an actor.
Speaker 13 (37:18):
There was a brief well in my young career, yes,
I mean it breaks up. In high school, I was
a member of a hot rod club, the Downshifters, and
so I was into We had Jeff Jackets. We had
Jackets the Downshifters in West Sport, and we had a
sea dragster. We had a little sea dragster that our
(37:40):
club raced. I didn't drive, but we used to go
up to Rhode Island of the war. Where can we
erase that? And that was when I was in a
public school and high school. And then I went to
a boarding school. And I went to this boarding school,
all boys, boarding school, and they knew nothing about drag racing.
They were all into sports, Formula one Sterling.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Moss at the time and all that.
Speaker 13 (38:06):
So that was when I got my first intro into
the more sophisticated side of car racing.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
And then, as.
Speaker 13 (38:16):
I said on your show a few years ago, one
of my first movies that I did, I had Steve
McQueen as a producer on the movie, and you know,
he knew I like cars, And in this movie I
drove a nine to eleven Porsche Target. In the movie
that Tangerine Orangerine, Yes, tandrene orange.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
Color they had in the movie.
Speaker 13 (38:39):
I got paid in nineteen sixty nine and I got
paid three thousand dollars for the whole movie. And the
last day of shooting, Steve showed up, thank you so
much for the good job, and he had these keys
he held up he said, here you go, buddy, and
he gave me the Porsche, you know, which is more
money than my father.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Made the whole movie.
Speaker 13 (39:01):
And also at that time Steve was preparing for the
movie Lemon, So he was going on on weekends out
to the desert out in Palm Desert, the Willow Springs Racetrack,
and he was racing. Richie Ginther had a nine oweight Porsche,
a really hot Porshit and he was racing, practicing, not
(39:23):
getting ready for Laman. And Steve McQueen was a great driver,
both motorcycles and cars.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
And the nine o weight had this.
Speaker 13 (39:35):
Had a little plastic second seat, I guess to fulfill
his class. You know, he had a major races. He
was a little plastic seat. And I asked if I
could go do a couple of laps with him, and
he asked people. He got permission and Dan all I
can tell you is those couple of laps out there
a Willow Springs and there's this large swooping turn that
(39:58):
he could take it about one hundred and fifty miles
an hour and you kind of level with the desert.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
And I was stoked.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
And so after those experiences with Steve, there was also
the Jim Russell Driving School which was out at Willows
Springs and they you could race fourmul F's little lotus
Ford's open wheels. So I got in and did that
and that was the beginning of my racing career, which promptly,
about three races in to the season, We're at Riverside
(40:30):
Racetrack and under a yellow flag which means yellow flag
has slow down. I took a turn too fast, spun
the car around and went into a.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
Wall under a yellow flag, which is a real no no.
Speaker 13 (40:46):
And that was sort of what I realized, you know what,
I'm beaning like a weekend hero here, but these guys
that are driving are pretty serious that.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I'm going to get myself in trouble.
Speaker 13 (40:57):
So that was the extent in the end of my
my my racing career.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Where is that portie that Steve McQueen gave you.
Speaker 13 (41:05):
That's a very good question. I thought the same thing
that I don't know. I lost this somewhere along the line.
I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
Where did you ever talk to Paul Newman about trying
to balance and be you know, because he was so
involved in racing and a Westport guy he was.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 13 (41:23):
I saw him a few times. He was an interesting guy,
so talented, nice, but removed he was. I'm never quite
innested what it was exactly. I know he lost his son,
which I thought might have been the thing, but there
(41:44):
was something slightly removed. But I was such an admirer
of him, not only for his racing, but for his
charity work.
Speaker 5 (41:52):
The whole of the Wall Gang.
Speaker 13 (41:54):
Oh yeah, I was extraordinary with all those products. I
can't believe him, the figures you raise, it's really Philoma.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Where's the best place you've ever seen a race?
Speaker 5 (42:05):
That's a good question one.
Speaker 13 (42:11):
I mean, mole co Is is tough to be I
did one race in Monico where I had to pick
pass and there's a big long tunnel it goes through
and I was able during the race, during the race
to walk through the tunnel, and it was it was
just just an extraordinary experience, So I'd have to say
(42:33):
Monico is probably the most colorful. Although it's a limited race,
it's very tough to pass. There's a lot of talk about,
even though it's long history, that with the cars the
way they're going and they may move on.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
But didn't you do a ride along with the King
of Monaco.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
No, I did a ride along with the King of Spain. Oh,
I was in.
Speaker 13 (42:57):
I was at the Barcelona F one and before the race, say,
they asked me if do you want to go with
the King of Spain around the track in the what
are they called the starter's car, the pace car.
Speaker 5 (43:14):
So I said, yeah, sure.
Speaker 13 (43:16):
So I got in the car with your with this his highness,
and I didn't realize that there was a camera on
the dashboard right that had both of us in full bloom,
and so King one Carlos took off and he took
off like a bedsheet, and we went down and said,
(43:36):
I hope he goes he's doing because the thing about
race cars, with all their speed, it's.
Speaker 5 (43:43):
The breaking you can't believe.
Speaker 13 (43:46):
So they go into attorney said there's no way, they're
not going to stop in time, but just no way,
and the g force on breaking your neck on your
neck is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
This is why they have all those extra sizes.
Speaker 13 (44:01):
So anyway, we go in to the first turn and
I'm going, oh, speck smoking and I didn't realize I'm
on screen. I'm looking at it and I'm looking at
the king. I say, you know what you're doing. You
know you shoot what you're doing the whole way around
the track. So that was in Barcelona, but that was
just a warm up. We're talking to Michael Douglas actor.
(44:22):
I don't need to say what should people say when
they introduce you?
Speaker 3 (44:28):
What do you want people to say?
Speaker 5 (44:30):
A nice guys to a nice last? Yeah, I don't know.
I'm very happy. I'm an actor and producer. Yeah, and I'm.
Speaker 13 (44:40):
Also messenger a piece for the United Nations, which I'd
like to spend a lot of time on.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
I think there was always this debate about our you know,
these Formula One or NASCAR guys and athletes, and I
would always you know, I would talk to Dale Earnhardt
Junior and he'd say, hey, sit in that car for
four hours handley coordination. You're losing seven to ten pounds.
You know, everything that goes and if you make a mistake.
(45:06):
It can be, But how do you view the athletes
behind the wheel?
Speaker 13 (45:12):
Well, being pretty familiar with F one in the fact
that I have some friends who are bit owners, missus
Zaga introduce to why I'm here and Las of Vegas
at this beautiful fought hotel for the race is I
was friends with the guy that owned the McLaren teen.
(45:34):
One of the owners that mclareng montsur o Ja unfortunately
passed away a couple of years ago. And I'm now
a good friend of a mutual friend of monsour Mine's
Laurence Stroll, who owns a the Aston Martin team.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
So I've been able to see close up.
Speaker 13 (45:52):
And Lawrence's son Lance drives for Acid Martin, so as
a family friend, I mean ice the amount of training,
uh that goes in and it's it's staggering. So yes,
the discipline. The thing gets me with a NASCAR is
(46:12):
is they how close they are? I mean, how how
close they are for lap after lap? I mean in
Formula one, you'll have those moments, you know, when you
have a good but they just they sit there just
just i mean, just let's be buffer's touching it. Two
hundred miles an hour, so they're I mean both both
(46:33):
both races I think need tremendous physical shape.
Speaker 5 (46:37):
To be in.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Did you do a race car movie?
Speaker 5 (46:41):
No? No, never have.
Speaker 13 (46:44):
Although the Streets of San Francisco, which was soon after
my race car experience that I was sort of the
police driver of the car with Carl Malden's my partner,
and I always this story. The very first day of shooting,
the very first day of shooting this which ended up
(47:06):
being one hundred and four hours and four years, we
are at the top of knob Hill in the San
Francisco and then my trailer and all this is a
knock on the doors. You come on, let's go. We
gotta go fast. The lights go, we're losing the light.
We just need you not to see. We just need
you to drive around the top of nob Hill past
the Fairmount Hotel and then just go down the hill
(47:29):
and Carl, you take the red light.
Speaker 5 (47:31):
You smash it up on the light and we go.
It's okay.
Speaker 13 (47:36):
So, being my first day and not having had a
lot of experience, but very cocky about my driving, I
get in and they go an action.
Speaker 5 (47:46):
I take it.
Speaker 13 (47:47):
I go around nob Hell and go past the Fairmont
and then there's a major hill.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
All I can tell you is.
Speaker 13 (47:54):
I went off that hill and I was airborne enough time,
but I the carl.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
Carl looked at me, and about two seconds later I've
been about the clash did.
Speaker 13 (48:10):
Like goodness, the wheels were straight right. The car comes
to a stop. Oh my god, Carl gets up. That's
not drivers. I'm gonna be fired my first day of
the pictures in this first he gets up. That's not driving,
that's just movie driving. That's not driving. I'm going back
to my trailer and changed my underwear.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
How many episodes did you do?
Speaker 5 (48:35):
I'll bet one hundred and four hours?
Speaker 7 (48:38):
Wow? Did they use that clip in the show?
Speaker 4 (48:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (48:45):
Do you click cars?
Speaker 5 (48:47):
I used to, but no I don't. I kept sat
down in a doll war.
Speaker 13 (48:52):
I love cars, of reading car magazines and all that.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
But that's that's one vice I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Can you fix a car?
Speaker 13 (49:01):
Not anymore. I used to be able to fix flatheads,
you know, the older kind of engines and everything, the
new sophisticated.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Once I can't.
Speaker 7 (49:09):
But you can't sneak a car into the garage with
your wife and have her say.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Where did this come from? Hunh No, that's that's the point.
Speaker 5 (49:18):
We cant.
Speaker 13 (49:18):
Well, you know, I got kids now who are driving
age and Catherine is that see?
Speaker 5 (49:23):
Really? You know?
Speaker 13 (49:24):
I mean how many cars can you fit? Then you
start getting into garage space right now?
Speaker 5 (49:28):
And that's not cheap. I mean if you how many
portions do you have?
Speaker 3 (49:32):
I have a few. What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (49:35):
Come on? Be honest? Suco five last stop? Too bad?
Speaker 7 (49:39):
I know, but my wife always says you need another one,
and I say no, right, but I say it, I
still want it.
Speaker 3 (49:45):
And if you have a garage like you got to
fill it up?

And Jay, I'm sure doesn't know how many cars he Oh,
I bet he does. Oh I think j Letterman sold
all of his I didn't know. Yeah, he had a lot,
he had quite a collection. Yeah, I met his mechanic

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Because I pitied a fool that doesn't so good morning,
we're here, We're Cavino and Rich Peewee's voice a little
too high at this hour. Remember it's earlier here in LA.
We're in Los Angeles, the mean streets of LA. We're
lifing the barrio right now. Rich Davis is in Texas,
so call him hop along Dickey, but call us up
and say what's up? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
(02:38):
We got to kick it off with less p W.
Herman impressions way back in a Wednesday and more Lebron James,
Lebron James. Yeah, it's uh, it's happening. And when I
say it's happening, I mean the Lakers are coming together.
Lebron's healthy again, Lebron James. And you got Awestin Reeves,
(03:00):
the unassuming goofy white dude, and you got Luca and
they were saying, oh, it is my oldly race related
that I wouldn't say racist. Racist has this negative connotation
to it. Race related. Yeah, I'm a white guy. I'm
allowed to say I'm a goofy white guy. I'm allowed
to say Austin Reeves is one of me. Rich is
(03:21):
the president, So I'm the president of goofy white guy
club I'm trying to recruit Austin Reeves for for years.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
I have a couple of friends who are goofy white guys.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I sent them an application. He's like, I'm in. But
now the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Last night, Danny g you must have been salivating over
watching those three stars work together. They look dominant at times,
and we talked about it yesterday on our show.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So let me just reiterate that.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Austin Reeves gets not enough credit for what he's bringing
to the table. You know what I thought about last night, Danny.
As a Niners fan, if you're new to coven On Rich,
we appreciate you hanging with us And for Dan Patrick.
I'm a big forty nine Ers fan because Austin Reeves
was not drafted to because he's unassuming. There's a little
rock purty vibe with him, meaning like, oh shucks, like
(04:07):
it takes a little more to impress people. It takes
circus numbers. It takes for him to lead the team
and put up circus numbers to get the credit that
he's deserved for a minute. Now, he's playing in Los Angeles,
he's playing with superstars, he's playing big, He's leading a
team for the most part, he deserves that superstar sort
(04:28):
of recognition, like he should be a household name, and
unless you're a basketball fan, especially a Lakers fan, you
really don't know who he is, and by now you should.
In fact, his goofy sort of attitude should also make
him more of a star, but it's not. However, I
think when his name's in the same sentence as Kobe
as it was this week and he starts climbing those Lakers' rankings,
(04:53):
yeah he's gonna get that recognition he deserves. But again,
he had to go above and beyond because of his
unassuming ways, I think to get that recognition. Just this week,
Austin Reeves is the second most twenty five point games
by a Laker guard since two thousand. Only Kobe had more.
So second to Kobe, that's unreal. He's in serious company.
(05:14):
He went five for nine from deep against the Bucks
and officially passed Caldwell Pope for seventh place on the Lakers'
all time three points list. So he's making three points
left and right. He has five hundred and twenty three
threes in two ninety one games.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's before yesterday's game, and.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yesterday numbers he lit it up yesterday, props him. Luca
had thirty seven points. Reeves had twenty six points and
was leading for a while. He had that four point
play that Danny g got all excited about. Lebron James
eleven points. But here's where you were getting that rich.
I could see what's happening. We didn't have a clue.
(05:55):
I'm not sure the league had a clue, because we're like,
how was Lebron gonna fit into this twelve dish?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
In the ball around?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And I quote Danny g he's still doing his producer
stuff right now. I quote Danny g Man, it's look,
he was Magic Johnson.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Up, dude, golight, let's slop magic Johnson.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
First of all, it don't sound anything like that. I said.
He was dropping Magic Johnson like passes.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Man, it was like magic Johnson, you know something about
All I heard was your Johnson or Johnson or something.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
What he turned into like a quarterback, a game manager,
if you will.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He really did. It really looked that way.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And here's my most obvious we call this on the
CNR showgram an obvious servation. Here's my observation watching the game.
The most obvious one it really looked for the first
time in forever, Okay, Elsa like Lebron James was having fun.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It looked like he was. I get it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It was his return excited, but there was a different
vibe and a different level of fun and excitement from
Lebron James. And that's fun and excitement you need to have,
I think to win in this league. When there was
too much pressure on Lebron, it wasn't fun and it
was all on him. If he's able to dish it
around like this, man, they're unstoppable. I've said it prisoner
(07:13):
of the moment, but I mean it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Let's go well.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I love that phrase prisoner of the moment because I'm
gonna say a very prisoner.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Of the moment type of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They're eleven and four. They're not They're not like average.
The Lakers are good. But there's a team in the West.
You might have heard of them, the Oklahoma City Thunder,
who might lose like three games all year. They just
don't lose. Okay, see, just doesn't lose. Here's my question.
(07:41):
If Lebron's playing fun and we know the end is
the year, and I do have the sentiment that when
all said and done. Lebron retires, I think we're gonna
look back at times and say, you know what, we
were hard on him. We didn't really appreciate him. The
constant comparisons to Mjay and Kobe and Yo. I know
he said and did it to himself with the whole
not one, not two, three, four five. Are we still
(08:02):
hanging on to that Lebron Miami Heath recently? No, Rich,
I'm not a Lebron lover. I gotta make that clear.
I'm not a hater either, right. I respect greatness and
have admired his career. He kicked off season twenty three.
I believe he kicked it off with a three right.
Danny g a sweet bucket to kick it off, and
that passes Vince Carter most all time twenty three seasons.
(08:25):
You know, when I see him with his Lebron Aham
Lincoln beard and it's getting a little gray and he's
just rocking that thinned out sort of look. I'm looking
at him not with the same lens that I looked
at him before, not five, not six, not seven. I'm
looking at him now as a guy who has his
(08:45):
son in the league. He's having fun, he has the
ability to switch his game up. But he has this
wisdom about him now and at least like even that
look in his face, like he looks older now. And
I don't know, man, I'm rooting for him in a
different away, like, yo, dude, have one at least one
more great season and stick it to this OKAC team. Man,
(09:07):
they're young, but he's Lebron, and they have superstars. They've
got Luca, They've got Bronni off the bench hitting threes.
Oh stop it, don't, don't be making it sound like
Bronni is like like a tributor. That's a dope moment. No,
but even eight and had twenty points. I didn't even
bring that up. He had twenty points. If Lebron's able
to dish it around, they made some crazy passes last night.
(09:28):
I looked at him as a guy yesterday, to answer
your question, old Rich, not a guy that you wanted
to roll your eyes at. I looked at him as
a guy who we've seen grow up. In fact, we've
grown up with together, and he's getting older and I
can only root for that. I saw Lebron the man
last night, not Lebron the attitude having basketball player comano
(09:48):
you and I have been together a long time as
a radio you know, friendship and partnership. We saw Lebron
go from Cleveland to Miami to the Lakers. That we've
seen the journey, and I would say, run the boards.
I know we play that clip all the time, the
not three, not four, not five.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Not two, not three, not four, not five?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Are we still holding it against Lebron his one like
because it came across so arrogant and never really came
to fruition. They want a few in Miami. But I
look at Lebron now and dare I say, as the
season continues and Oklahoma City right now in Vegas is
a plus one seventy five to win the NBA Finals,
they are like like leaps and bounds above anyone else.
(10:34):
As favorites to win back to back NBA titles, the
Lakers one two, three, four five, They're like they got
the six best odds at plus fourteen hundred. Could there
be a sentiment that the Lebron haters maybe change their
tune and it becomes the fun story.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Like yo, Lebron one more before it's all done?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Like yes, he'd be a sentiment where if he brings
the energy and like he brought upon himself. He shouldn't
have to do that, but he does come with that
sense of not two, not three, not four, sense of
arrogance and and Lebron and me Bron and things like that.
If he plays with the same energy and attitude that
he had last night, it's contagious.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's likable.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's fun when when other people, I mean, it's just
I don't know if it's science, but it is. If
other people are having fun, you want to have fun
with him, and it's contagious.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
What's the theory, It's the Neil Strauss theory.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, Danny J Spot, I was Sam everyone listening all
the dan Etts and dan Patrick audience. I remember back
in the day, there was like remember like in the
two thousands, it was like a hot thing to like
have these like dating coaches.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Not not people have dating.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Coaches, but these guys would write books about how to
get the attention to women. Like it's like corny stuff.
But there was one thing I remember thinking, all right,
that's not corny, that's true, and it was if you're
at a bar with your buddies and you guys are
laughing and having fun, somehow women will infiltrate your group
because you are having fun. When you're having fun and laughing,
(12:08):
not even enjoying yourself, like subconscious subconsciously, it's like, what's
going on over there?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
What's so funny? What are these guys?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You're to guess where everyone's eyes go, Coudino, Besides the
hot booties. If you're in Vegas, everyone looks at the
craps table where everyone's high five and cheering, like, Yeah,
what's going on over there? Everyone's having fun? I want
to get in on that.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
We are.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
We gravitate towards fun and people really, you know, bringing
the vibe. And I think Lebron with his mean face
in Miami, like, yeah, let's go, baby, pounding his chess
not two, not three, not four. That's that's a young Lebron.
This is a end is near. I got some gray
in my beard, I got wisdom. I'm an old dude,
you know, like as you know, like he's looking more
(12:51):
like Morgan Freeman than like a young man. Now he's
he's Lebron's not young, And dude, I noticed that yesterday.
Is he an incredible shape? Absolutely? The guy's a specimen.
That's not my point. He's not out there hobbling around
like an old cream abdul Jabbar or something. This guy's
in great and incredible shape. But he doesn't have to
be that star anymore, and I think he's accepted that.
(13:13):
In fact, Danny G said that he made a gesture,
and it's sort of implied that maybe we get more
out of Lebron because he doesn't have to be everything
for everyone because he has other people to play around him. Danyg,
you said when he made a gesture, that's sort of.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
What, yeah, conferring when he checked out of the game
or was checked out of the game by Reddick, and
I'm always gonna call it. Staple Center crowd gave him
a standing oh for his passing performance. Basically at the
end of the game, he kind of made a gesture
like this is what I'm gonna do now because he
had more assist than points, and you.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Know what, if he could unselfishly make that his game,
because that's an ego thing too, when you're putting up
twenty five to thirty your whole career. Yeah, he's double digits.
I think that was the priority, right, Yeah, you help
me keep that going. Yeah, but I'm saying if you
could throw ten to fifteen assist in there and maybe
(14:10):
score eighteen or score twenty or sixteen. If that's the
Lebron game, we forget that Magic Johnson wasn't scoring thirty
points a game that's very similar to Now I made
funny when you compare him, but that's a very similar
to Magic Johnson type of game when we were little kids,
scoring points, but more so being a leader out there.
And if Lebron could do that with a smile on
(14:32):
his face, dare I say that the public, well, all
of a sudden, look at Lebron as a face again,
like you know how John Cena just went from good
guy to heel back to good guy. Like maybe we
see Lebron James go back to good guy. Maybe Lebron James,
he won't be gassed. It's not all on him. He's
got people he could dish it too. And when I
say dish it, we're talking like Globe trotter Magic Johnson.
(14:55):
Like passes last night. If you didn't see it because
it was a late game on the West coast, across
the court, he made a sweet pass across the court. Again,
I even said it, but Bronni did get in there
hit a nice three point shot. You see him fire
it up about that. It was a really fun vibe.
We're just telling you it's his return. It was a
different Lebron last night. It really really was. Again, it's
(15:16):
one game, and it was the Jazz, the five and
what are they?
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Five and nine? And the five and nine Jazz. They
have a young team, but you saw him at the
start of the game. They had a double digit lead
over the Lakers, and I think all Laker fans watching
and basketball fans watching around the world were like, ah,
look at Lebron's gonna clog things up here we go.
The chemistry is not going to match here. But quickly
they figured it out. By the third quarter, they were
all clicking together. To go back to Rich's point about
(15:41):
the thunder though, Rich, I know you loved to schedule watch. Yeah,
let's look at February ninth. That is, Rich loves to
look at the schedule.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Gid schedule watching. Yeah, oh I love looking at the schedule. Danny,
please take over.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Let's hear this the day after the Super Bowl, so
two things to look forward to that Sunday and then Monday,
February ninth, the Lakers host the Thunder. All right, That's
that's the real test here, because obviously we're at the
very early stages of the NBA season. The Lakers just
got blown out by the Thunder and they bounced back
with a couple of three now double digit wins after that.
(16:19):
But they have to do this against a team like
the Thunder and if they.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Can't and you know what, a couple months, a couple
months together with this crew now to really gel and say,
all right, February that's that's just a date you marked
out on the calendar, the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday.
Where are the Lakers? If healthy, how do they match
up against Okac and Cavino. You know, we talk about
fatigue in sports. We got it with the Chiefs, like
people are, oh my god, I'm so sick of Tailor
(16:44):
and Travis and Mahomes and Andy Reid and that. You know,
we talked about that when it came to MVP and
Aaron Judge not getting the award and people had Aaron
Judge fatigue. It's like, well, guess what, he still deserves
the award. I don't care if for sick of them
or not. And you know, the Dodgers as likable as
they are, there was a sense of like most people
(17:06):
were like, come on, blue Jays.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I think that people really don't want to see the
Okay City, the Oka say Thunder win. I really don't.
I don't think okay, see you got to think like
gangster Okay, Okay she is. I don't think the thunder
(17:32):
is like this fan favorite, like yo, we want to
see this be a dynasty. I could be wrong, but
they don't got the you know when when when all
the other dynasties did it, whether it's Golden State or
you know, the Bulls when we were kids, or the
Lakers or Celtics, like there was there was a little
something more no offense.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
To s g A.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't think any anyone's like, man, I really want
to see this team run it back a bunch of times.
I think the Lakers if they faced off against Okay
see down the road, I'm way looking ahead. I do
think there's a sentiment that even though the Lakers are
this legendary franchise, I think people would be rooting for
the Lakers. I really do. I think that'd be Lebron
winning one more is way more appealing than Okay, Sea
(18:15):
great for basketball. Just this, you know, it's it's been overseted,
but it's true. When the Lakers are good, the NBA
is more exciting, it's better. There's so many franchises and
sports like that. Lakers are definitely one of them. And
you know, we saw a different side. We're not swinging
if you're new to the Coveno on Rich show, we're
not swinging from the Magic Johnson. We're just tell James,
(18:38):
We're just telling you what we saw last night. And
even the criticism he handled with a smile and a
smirk and fun. And it was, like I said, it
was noticeable. That's why we're pointing at pointing it out.
People were asking Reporters were asking him, Yeah, how'd you
feel about people questioning how you'd fit in with the
chemistry of the team, And like he lad about it.
(19:00):
He's like, come on, man, I could I could win
with anybody. He goes, why is that even a question?
And he proved it. He proved it yesterday in a
big way. If they're able to keep that up, there's
no reason why they shouldn't. The Lakers are back in
the conversation again, even more so, I should say, because
there was question of how's Lebron gonna we questioned it,
(19:20):
how long does it take till they build that chemistry?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
One night yesterday we saw it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
The Lakers win one six, and the side question besides
Lebron's return is why isn't Austin Reeves a bigger star? Well,
he's bound to be. He's gonna be, He already should be.

Speaker 7 (20:51):
Frank Kelliendo, Where's Terry Bradshaw said, is Frank keal Edendo?
He's performing New Year's Eve at the Tempee Improv in
Arizona doing He's at the Funny Bone in Omaha, January
twenty third, twenty fourth off the Hook Comedy Club in Naples, Florida,
January thirty ath, thirty first. All tickets can be purchased
at Frank on stage dot com. Great see again. I
(21:14):
mentioned that going to dinner with you is like going
to dinner with five or six different people.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
So well, it happens like little bits of stories happen
right like we were talking about that. I'll get to
the full story eventually on here. But just hanging out
with William Shatner. I was with him at an event
the other day. I kept trying to lock eyes with
him and try to get him to fight. There was
a kind of like, h what's the problem?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
He's like, I don't talk the way people say I talk.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Why do they do that?
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Why do they.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Say I speakless way? I'm like, you're ninety four, I
know why am I zawagerhead ninety four? But people tend
to do that. Captain's lug that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
And when he just talks, he just looks like this.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
But you can't help from what need to talk like it?
Speaker 7 (22:01):
But point of view, when you when you impersonate somebody,
imitate somebody, But then what are you going to say
when you use that voice, like the context of it?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
How difficult is that?
Speaker 8 (22:13):
I think that's one of the most difficult things because
otherwise you're just a parrot.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Right.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
If you're doing the voice of the person you're you're
not trying. You're not finding something funny with it. We
were talking about Charlie Sheen on the show a couple
when he was on the show a couple of weeks ago,
and you, I was a setan that noticed the same
thing I did.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
He would repeat the question back that you would.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Ask, yeah, so I I uh, I asked that.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Huh.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
I said that kind of thing, okay, and did that go?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Well?
Speaker 7 (22:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And then if people watch this, you say, so you're saying.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
People this saw people shaw me and you didn't enjoy it?
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Or you did?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Did I?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Did I kill somebody? Did somebody die?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
But in fairness to him, he doesn't remember, though, friend, No, that.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Was the amazing I made a I did a little
social media post that was based on that. It was
Halloween candies and he would he had pixie sticks. I
was like, those straws with sugar in them, that is sugar?
So that is is that sugar? And it was from
this your interview with him that I was like, I
picked up that he says something. The questions it afterward,
like is that is.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
That right or not?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
All right?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I was a live during this, right, So it's it's
it's finding those little pieces.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Terry Bradshaw was easy, not fun if Frank not funny.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Charles Barker thinks everything is terrible.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Nothing Dan, that's really really bad and the shot is not.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Cheating, you know.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
So it's you find those little things. What does the
person do? The old school ones seem to be a
lot easier. I think the newer people are a little
more difficult because people have like the wide rate, like
de Niro's become uh, you know, a caricature of himself.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Everybody does that? Okay, what doing next?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Now?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
He does that?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
He's in the movie Here we Go. Samuel L. Jackson
has a cadence. They the writers write the cadence.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
It's the dua duh dead du du dah.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
And you you know there's certain words in there too, right,
But that's the that's the song about how many Christopher
Walkins have you heard?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Low Hi in the middle?
Speaker 8 (24:14):
But you know who it is, right because of that
little song that they sing.
Speaker 7 (24:18):
Does Gruden know that he's doing Gruden when he talks?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I think, I no, I don't know why he can't.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
I can't really tell, but he's he's into it so much.
I mean, he is Gruden times a million. I mean
when he was a coach, there were a lot of
people that you know, it was it was a love
and hate kind of thing. Now people just seem to
love him. He's opening boxes every year. We gotta here, man,
let's open this thing up. It's gonna be pretty good
right here.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
He's one of those guys that gets excited out of
nowhere when I when I did that hard knocks with him.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I'm gonna yell for no reason.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
Man, Why am I mad?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (24:57):
So you don't think Gruden's playing Gruden.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
I think he just is free. I think he's free
in just doing what he wants to do. I think
that's kind of it. He's just free to be himself,
Like he would do crazy things on Monday Night Football
when when he was there, there were some certain and
he just is doing that type of stuff all the time.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
But you can't. It's one of those guys that hit
you when he talks. It's like, yeah, man, you like that.
Huh yeah, be careful.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
You ever see his hands. His hands sound like wreck
at Ralph for something like that. They're just massive. You know,
he puts them up. He's doing this kind of thing,
like he's doing a magic reveal here.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
We call this the Prestige.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
You ever get thirteen minutes into that movie, man, I'll
tell you what, it's a pretty good one.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
I should see the ending tricks. Yet, when you know
when to retire somebody, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I bring him back little bits.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
I mean, that's That's one of the things.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Is like, is John Madden always going to be.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Well with the Madden movie coming back? And I think
I'll talk to you guys about that. That'll be big again.
It's like, and they I don't know if I brought
this up to you guys before, but they asked me
to audition for that movie for the part of Howard Kosel.
Like I wasn't gonna get it, but I think they
just wanted me to talk to Nicholas Cage about being
Do you know if I talked about this?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
But I guess I could just tell the story again.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
But it was it was I got a text from
my agent Nicholas Cage and the director want to call you,
want to do a zoom call with you.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I'm like, no, Like, what do you mean?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
No, I'm like, no, I want to hang out with
Nicholas Cage if I'm gonna give him the recipe of
the Madden. I want to hang out with Nicholas Cage
in Vegas. I want to do Leslie Stall Walk and Talk.
I want to write sidecar to the ghost Rider. I
want to be there. I want him to show me
his exotic animals. Like here's my monitor lizard. What would
John Madden say to this monitor lizard?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
We're gonna steal the Declaration of Independence?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Ool?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
So it's like I wanted that kind of a thing.
I didn't want to do a zoom. Its static, you know,
and he could get out of at any time. I wanted
to force him to have to. And that's probably why
they didn't do it. Was they they didn't want to
take that time. But John Mann never liked me. He
finally kind of turned aroun when I met him at
the Super Bowl years later, but it wasn't I didn't
know anything about him like that. I think they were
(27:04):
trying to do research and that that's what it was
going to be. They were gonna try and ask me
a bunch of questions about John Man, like I didn't
really know him. I just met him.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Once.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Do you do a Howard Cosell, I don't.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
And it was this is Howard coach that. I mean,
it would be that and bad the whole time. And
one of the reasons I don't do is because it's
so old that some of the impressions I've done throughout
the years, I'm like, well, this is like you said
you when you retire them.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Well, that Howard.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Cosell was you know, two generations before John Madden.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
It gets a little weird there, and who remembers only
the oldest of people. Remember you do Howard Cosell on
a TikTok video? Nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I mean that.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Then the next thing that plays because you're in the
algorithm is uh.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Billy Crystal doing it from forty years and sixty years ago.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
I didn't even know you could do it anymore. So
I throw I threw in a Billy Crystal. And you know,
with a comedian, it's trickier. If you're in a band
and you play the hits, well, then you get to
play the hits the next place, in the next place.
But as a comedian, like in a year from now,
you can't have the same stand up act up, saying.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
It's to evolve and and people and people's voices changed.
By the way, this this the Fonder Blue Hotel. I
told you this when you texted me about coming here.
This is my go to hotel and it's because of
your show. I listen, when you guys were here at
the super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
I heard you there.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
We were coming for NBA uh Summer League, and I
was like, where should we stay my son? I look, oh,
that's uh, that's Founded Blue and I'm like, that's where
Dan was.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
It's gotta it's gotta be good if the if the if.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Dan's there, so uh, and we looked at the price
and like, holy cow, we were here. We actually booked
another place to go afterward, like we're going back to Fundablue,
like because we didn't know what it was going to be, like.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
We checked out.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
We ended up coming back and now this is this
is where I stayed most of the time.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
So where was I going with?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
That?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
We were we were talking about that.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Oh well voice has changed too, So here's here's another
thing too. So if you heard on the TV, that's
what made me think of Mountain Blue on the TV's
The Hall of Uh excellent. I was gonna say, Brady,
but that's playing and it's Morgan Freeman narrating it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
But he's ninety year old Morgan Freeman. Look how ol.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Liza Shatner's like, he's a young man. But if you
listen to Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Now, he's much older man. He's like that, this is
Morgan Frame. It's not that thing, you know. Truth of
the matter is it's not that anymore. It's even and not.
This isn't a political thing.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
But if you listen to Donald Trump now, he doesn't
have the same voice he had ten years ago.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Everybody, a lot of people do that.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
Well, you know that, big I do the quite the
very quiet the library Trump with the tremendous books in
the library. They're great books there with some of the
best words, and they get the greatest words, and these
words form something called sentences, and the sentences they end
up making sense, and we do.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I like what he does that.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Then I got to eaven it out with a little Biden. Right, folks,
come on, what are you doing? You think I don't
have to tell you why. Jack mac grubbers in Pennsylvania
thirty forty five six. It's like a drunk auctioneer to
get her six hundred a d.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
He's fall the Roman Empire, the Romans look by the
salad Guycheezer.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Defeated by Mario Luigi Romans fos. Why not sh what's
going on? But how often here's the true bide. Folks
come on like it.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
But with your shows, Wait, where are you going? No,
we're not done yet, mister president, We're not done yet.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
What at your shows?
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Though, at the very end you get this everybody just
starts yelling out names.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
People do if I don't get them, like I forget
to do steven A Smith sometimes and I understand I do,
I do?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Uh stephen A talk.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
I think you guys talked about the show steven A
talking about BROWNI after the fact, understand where you're going
with super serious stephen A.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
Oh yeah, where we're going with some of these things.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
And we have to contemplate in perpetuity where it just
trails down.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
The end and nothingness and we're wondering where it is.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
And then once you go down low then it gets
real serious.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
Jay Farrow has like the super hyped up version, so
he's got that great.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
By the way, when we're walking.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
I listened to the beginning of the show because I
wanted to hear how you guys talk about when Matt
Friend walked by and I never say hello, Todam. I
don't know him, but he's he's a very good Like
there's some he's great, there's him, there's Jay Farah, there's
a kid named Cameron Logs and my friend John Holmberg
might be one of the best I've ever seen. But
these there's like all kinds of impression people, people doing
impressions on the internet now. But when Eric was like, oh,
(31:49):
looks front like you're walking with me and the most
awkward he he's the greatest pushion.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Over, I was like, I was like, what is going
on here? This is the most of it. I thought
it was kind of cool.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
When we're coming back from dinner, we go into the
hotel and the big German is there, and all of
a sudden he sees this twenty seven year old Matt
Friend who is blown up the last.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Fit tat he's very very good.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
And here's Eric the big German, going, oh my god,
that's my friend.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
He's the best impression. And then all of a sudden
Frank was there.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Yeah, eric'say, Oh wait a second. There's very Spirits, he's incredible.
There's Jay Farrell, what's he doing here? There's Ross Mark
Wad They're incredible. Well, these are some of the best
people I've ever seen. Oh freak, what are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (32:30):
I'm already on the show as a friend of the show,
but now it seems that I've gone down the ladder.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
Do you know that I'm texting with Fritzy as we're
walking in the lobby to say, Matt friend I think
is staying at the hotel. We need to get him on.
Paulie is walking and texting Fritzy at the city. So
we're walking with you talking to you while we're going, Hey, Todd,
Matt friend is I think in the hotel. Let's see
if we can get him on. And then Fritzy goes, yeah,
(32:58):
I just heard from Paul and Paul right there next
to me.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
So we're we're doing that when we're walking with you
last night.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I think it's funny.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
I'll walk by you guys at the super Bowl, and
the guys, hey, Frank, everybody keeps going nobody text me yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
We walked into the lobby last night and Fritzy wasn't
gonna go to dinner, and all of a sudden, we
see Frank there.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Oh no, this this is what you don't know. I
planned it, No, see one. That was me conniving my
way in. That was I was with Marvin.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
We were watching the Yukon game, which is why I
where the Creighton.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Sure Creighton pull over today.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
I wanted you to ask me, why what's with the
What's with the Creighton they won last night?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Something Connecticut didn't do?
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Damn?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Out of the blue?
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Marvin texted me last week or early in the early
last week. It was he wanted to do a bet Arizona,
which I should have taken. They wanted a pie in
the face bet.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Out of that.
Speaker 9 (33:48):
I was like, oh no, no, no, I was supposed
to be talking about f one. We're supposed to be
talking about Max for stapping.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Piastre. I'll tell you what I mean. These guys. You
ever see Chuck Leclerk, I'll tell you it's Charlotte Claik,
Chuck la Clark. That's what I said.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Man, I don't do French.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Is that where he's from?
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Where's he from?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
You guys don't even know?
Speaker 9 (34:11):
Man, nobody knows where Charlotte Leclore is from.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
But I'll tell you what this gang's We do a
thing called the uh you gotta go to the break
as I saw you grabbing the paper. But we do
this thing called the the f What Experiences, and I
take My daughter is a huge F one fan, and
that's how I get most of my information, so I
know all types of She knows everything. But I'm fifty
one years old at this point, and I get all
(34:35):
the information run so I know little pieces and that's
about it. But this is the first Vegas race I've
missed because I gotta go work in Jackpot, Nevada tonight, which.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Is gonna be cool.
Speaker 8 (34:44):
But the uh going to Jackpot, Yeah yeah, which is
much better than lose your house Nevada.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
I'll tell you I got a moon over him a
little from uh yeah, so.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
Where you were there and lose your house, Nevana.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
I know it's not good for radio, but it is
good for TV. You've been working on your Fritzy impersonation.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Yeah, it's not doing any radio.
Speaker 12 (35:07):
I gotta get the voice that is like a weird thing,
like you swallow the bottom part of your face.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You're that guy who could eat his face.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
It's kind of like that.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
I've realized that Fritzy basically when he talks, he gets
himself and digs himself into a hole. Then he's like
you're in college doing an essay and trying to fill
a two thousand word essay and you've only got five
hundred words, and.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
He's just feeling.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
He's changing the margins and filling in words and saying
the same thing over and over and over. He actually
we were talking over there. He decided he was done
with the conversation.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
He was going.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
He clapped and one, Okay, all right, Yeah. If Frank
was telling me about the texts and the emails he
gets from Fritzy that are just the minimum of care.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Like I think you really.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
Believe you're being nice, but it's so abrupt.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
He's really Yeah, like I told you about that.
Speaker 8 (35:58):
I told you about doing Jim Gray's fiftieth birthday party
years ago. Muhammad Ali was there, Uh, doctor j Bill Walton,
all these he goes, uh, pretty relevant party, fun to
be at, Like.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I thought, I said, that would have been a great
thing too.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
It would have been fun, would have been a fun.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
I would have been a great experience, so I try
to be extra nice that it comes across as somehow
kind of it does.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
I don't know why I got to work on it,
because that's not what I want to do. That's not
who you are.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
I think you're kind, descending like kind descending like you're
not necessarily you don't mean it, but you you're kind,
but you it's sounding somehow morphs into.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Fake kindness or something which is not a good thing.
Speaker 12 (36:38):
It's just the opposite of kindness. By the time it's done,

Speaker 7 (36:54):
Yesterday, Michael Douglas, we saw him in the hotel and
I said, you want to stop mine talk some for
me to one, And he came by after the show
and we talked about when he was on the show
the last time, and he was in a car club
and he was in high school. So I asked him
if there was ever a point early in his career
where he thought more about being a race car driver
(37:15):
than an actor.
Speaker 13 (37:18):
There was a brief well in my young career, yes,
I mean it breaks up. In high school, I was
a member of a hot rod club, the Downshifters, and
so I was into We had Jeff Jackets. We had
Jackets the Downshifters in West Sport, and we had a
sea dragster. We had a little sea dragster that our
(37:40):
club raced. I didn't drive, but we used to go
up to Rhode Island of the war. Where can we
erase that? And that was when I was in a
public school and high school. And then I went to
a boarding school. And I went to this boarding school,
all boys, boarding school, and they knew nothing about drag racing.
They were all into sports, Formula one Sterling.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Moss at the time and all that.
Speaker 13 (38:06):
So that was when I got my first intro into
the more sophisticated side of car racing.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
And then, as.
Speaker 13 (38:16):
I said on your show a few years ago, one
of my first movies that I did, I had Steve
McQueen as a producer on the movie, and you know,
he knew I like cars, And in this movie I
drove a nine to eleven Porsche Target. In the movie
that Tangerine Orangerine, Yes, tandrene orange.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
Color they had in the movie.
Speaker 13 (38:39):
I got paid in nineteen sixty nine and I got
paid three thousand dollars for the whole movie. And the
last day of shooting, Steve showed up, thank you so
much for the good job, and he had these keys
he held up he said, here you go, buddy, and
he gave me the Porsche, you know, which is more
money than my father.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Made the whole movie.
Speaker 13 (39:01):
And also at that time Steve was preparing for the
movie Lemon, So he was going on on weekends out
to the desert out in Palm Desert, the Willow Springs Racetrack,
and he was racing. Richie Ginther had a nine oweight Porsche,
a really hot Porshit and he was racing, practicing, not
(39:23):
getting ready for Laman. And Steve McQueen was a great driver,
both motorcycles and cars.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
And the nine o weight had this.
Speaker 13 (39:35):
Had a little plastic second seat, I guess to fulfill
his class. You know, he had a major races. He
was a little plastic seat. And I asked if I
could go do a couple of laps with him, and
he asked people. He got permission and Dan all I
can tell you is those couple of laps out there
a Willow Springs and there's this large swooping turn that
(39:58):
he could take it about one hundred and fifty miles
an hour and you kind of level with the desert.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
And I was stoked.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
And so after those experiences with Steve, there was also
the Jim Russell Driving School which was out at Willows
Springs and they you could race fourmul F's little lotus
Ford's open wheels. So I got in and did that
and that was the beginning of my racing career, which promptly,
about three races in to the season, We're at Riverside
(40:30):
Racetrack and under a yellow flag which means yellow flag
has slow down. I took a turn too fast, spun
the car around and went into a.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
Wall under a yellow flag, which is a real no no.
Speaker 13 (40:46):
And that was sort of what I realized, you know what,
I'm beaning like a weekend hero here, but these guys
that are driving are pretty serious that.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I'm going to get myself in trouble.
Speaker 13 (40:57):
So that was the extent in the end of my
my my racing career.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Where is that portie that Steve McQueen gave you.
Speaker 13 (41:05):
That's a very good question. I thought the same thing
that I don't know. I lost this somewhere along the line.
I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
Where did you ever talk to Paul Newman about trying
to balance and be you know, because he was so
involved in racing and a Westport guy he was.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 13 (41:23):
I saw him a few times. He was an interesting guy,
so talented, nice, but removed he was. I'm never quite
innested what it was exactly. I know he lost his son,
which I thought might have been the thing, but there
(41:44):
was something slightly removed. But I was such an admirer
of him, not only for his racing, but for his
charity work.
Speaker 5 (41:52):
The whole of the Wall Gang.
Speaker 13 (41:54):
Oh yeah, I was extraordinary with all those products. I
can't believe him, the figures you raise, it's really Philoma.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Where's the best place you've ever seen a race?
Speaker 5 (42:05):
That's a good question one.
Speaker 13 (42:11):
I mean, mole co Is is tough to be I
did one race in Monico where I had to pick
pass and there's a big long tunnel it goes through
and I was able during the race, during the race
to walk through the tunnel, and it was it was
just just an extraordinary experience, So I'd have to say
(42:33):
Monico is probably the most colorful. Although it's a limited race,
it's very tough to pass. There's a lot of talk about,
even though it's long history, that with the cars the
way they're going and they may move on.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
But didn't you do a ride along with the King
of Monaco.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
No, I did a ride along with the King of Spain. Oh,
I was in.
Speaker 13 (42:57):
I was at the Barcelona F one and before the race, say,
they asked me if do you want to go with
the King of Spain around the track in the what
are they called the starter's car, the pace car.
Speaker 5 (43:14):
So I said, yeah, sure.
Speaker 13 (43:16):
So I got in the car with your with this his highness,
and I didn't realize that there was a camera on
the dashboard right that had both of us in full bloom,
and so King one Carlos took off and he took
off like a bedsheet, and we went down and said,
(43:36):
I hope he goes he's doing because the thing about
race cars, with all their speed, it's.
Speaker 5 (43:43):
The breaking you can't believe.
Speaker 13 (43:46):
So they go into attorney said there's no way, they're
not going to stop in time, but just no way,
and the g force on breaking your neck on your
neck is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
This is why they have all those extra sizes.
Speaker 13 (44:01):
So anyway, we go in to the first turn and
I'm going, oh, speck smoking and I didn't realize I'm
on screen. I'm looking at it and I'm looking at
the king. I say, you know what you're doing. You
know you shoot what you're doing the whole way around
the track. So that was in Barcelona, but that was
just a warm up. We're talking to Michael Douglas actor.
(44:22):
I don't need to say what should people say when
they introduce you?
Speaker 3 (44:28):
What do you want people to say?
Speaker 5 (44:30):
A nice guys to a nice last? Yeah, I don't know.
I'm very happy. I'm an actor and producer. Yeah, and I'm.
Speaker 13 (44:40):
Also messenger a piece for the United Nations, which I'd
like to spend a lot of time on.
Speaker 7 (44:46):
I think there was always this debate about our you know,
these Formula One or NASCAR guys and athletes, and I
would always you know, I would talk to Dale Earnhardt
Junior and he'd say, hey, sit in that car for
four hours handley coordination. You're losing seven to ten pounds.
You know, everything that goes and if you make a mistake.
(45:06):
It can be, But how do you view the athletes
behind the wheel?
Speaker 13 (45:12):
Well, being pretty familiar with F one in the fact
that I have some friends who are bit owners, missus
Zaga introduce to why I'm here and Las of Vegas
at this beautiful fought hotel for the race is I
was friends with the guy that owned the McLaren teen.
(45:34):
One of the owners that mclareng montsur o Ja unfortunately
passed away a couple of years ago. And I'm now
a good friend of a mutual friend of monsour Mine's
Laurence Stroll, who owns a the Aston Martin team.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
So I've been able to see close up.
Speaker 13 (45:52):
And Lawrence's son Lance drives for Acid Martin, so as
a family friend, I mean ice the amount of training,
uh that goes in and it's it's staggering. So yes,
the discipline. The thing gets me with a NASCAR is
(46:12):
is they how close they are? I mean, how how
close they are for lap after lap? I mean in
Formula one, you'll have those moments, you know, when you
have a good but they just they sit there just
just i mean, just let's be buffer's touching it. Two
hundred miles an hour, so they're I mean both both
(46:33):
both races I think need tremendous physical shape.
Speaker 5 (46:37):
To be in.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Did you do a race car movie?
Speaker 5 (46:41):
No? No, never have.
Speaker 13 (46:44):
Although the Streets of San Francisco, which was soon after
my race car experience that I was sort of the
police driver of the car with Carl Malden's my partner,
and I always this story. The very first day of shooting,
the very first day of shooting this which ended up
(47:06):
being one hundred and four hours and four years, we
are at the top of knob Hill in the San
Francisco and then my trailer and all this is a
knock on the doors. You come on, let's go. We
gotta go fast. The lights go, we're losing the light.
We just need you not to see. We just need
you to drive around the top of nob Hill past
the Fairmount Hotel and then just go down the hill
(47:29):
and Carl, you take the red light.
Speaker 5 (47:31):
You smash it up on the light and we go.
It's okay.
Speaker 13 (47:36):
So, being my first day and not having had a
lot of experience, but very cocky about my driving, I
get in and they go an action.
Speaker 5 (47:46):
I take it.
Speaker 13 (47:47):
I go around nob Hell and go past the Fairmont
and then there's a major hill.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
All I can tell you is.
Speaker 13 (47:54):
I went off that hill and I was airborne enough time,
but I the carl.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
Carl looked at me, and about two seconds later I've
been about the clash did.
Speaker 13 (48:10):
Like goodness, the wheels were straight right. The car comes
to a stop. Oh my god, Carl gets up. That's
not drivers. I'm gonna be fired my first day of
the pictures in this first he gets up. That's not driving,
that's just movie driving. That's not driving. I'm going back
to my trailer and changed my underwear.

down in a doll war.
Speaker 13 (48:52):
I love cars, of reading car magazines and all that.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
But that's that's one vice I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (48:58):

you know, the older kind of engines and everything, the
new sophisticated.
