when I say these two hours are really enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I like hang with you guys here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:28):

He's all bsva bracus. Do Is that like big ass? Hey?
That's Rich Davis. We all have big asses, am I right?
I mean? Who does it?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We are two big asses CNR on FSR And speaking
of asses, there he is.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
But it's a big dumper.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Iowa, Sam Hey, and of course Danny g super produce
in At eighty seven seven ninety nine on Fox you
got spot getting ready for midweek major the biggest stories
in sports and pop culture. We're gonna turn your hump
they into a hump night. But first we'd be rocking out.
I don't even know what that means. Hey, Before we
get into the NFL, and is boxing jumping the shark?

(01:09):
I have to ask us we just say booty, So
my mind can't move on until I asked the hard
hitting questions. When did we go from a society of
men that shifted from what was up top to what
was behind? Is it sir, mix a lot? Is it
j Loo and Shakira? Is it Booty Delicious Destiny's Child? Like?

(01:30):
When was the transition of every poster at Spencer's Gift
was like a girl with big boobs? And then it
was like, no, Booty has taken over. Can you pinpoint
a moment? It started rocking everywhere? Can you pinpoint a moment?
Is it Bubba Sparks? It was the Latin explosion. It
was j Low. But then again I did call one
nine hundred mix a lot to kick those nasty thoughts.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
He did call that quite a lot. In the late nineties,
my wife.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And my wife and I have discussed this because it
was around the time where you know, she was doing
some modeling and stuff and there was a transition of like,
all right, no one cared about your butt. Then it
was like, hey, uh, they want to see your butt now,
Like Booty became a thing. Yeah, looking back at early girlfriends,
I don't even remember if they had a butt, Like

(02:18):
I wasn't even into that at the time. Maybe it's
a little maturity, right, it's cultural. I'll tell you that
we've been missing out all along. Yeah, I credit the
Latin explosion the j Lo era of booty. That's really
like when she played Selena. You can credit Selena anything
for you. Selena's when she played Selena too, You're like,

(02:39):
bom And what was that movie Anacon that she was in.
She's like, bom. Well you started taking notes your Anaconda.
Don't want none unless you got buns hunt. Yeah's is on.
Maybe cal Rawley really sparked it to the next level.
Cal Rally, Maybe so Isaac Longcron in your hard hitting research,
when did men start focusing on the booty more?

Speaker 3 (02:59):
I'm I'm literally doing that hard hitting research and I
just got a ping from HR by the way, But anyway,
I would say it was around the mid nineties with
Jennifer Lopez and I feel that you are the sports
talk radio equivalents guys of Plato and Aristotle to be
raising such profound philosophical issues as this.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I'll take it, and then the Kim K Kimmy Cakes
thing took over from j Lo and the rest is history.
Oh man, Isaac's so nice that I most want to
pull the audible I was gonna pull. I may just
put in my back pocket because you know Isaac loewancron
isa I was gonna say, is he Isaac lowan fraud?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I do owe them lunch? I'm up backing out.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But I bumped into the table of beautiful women that
he approaches Isaac Loewan Khan because he's a big con artist.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I saw the girls that he approached the other day
outside and I said, ladies, you know the other day
when our friend approached he earned free lunch by coming
up to you.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
You know what they said to me? Oh, we know?
He told us it was a dare. If you tell
the person it's a dare, does that eliminate.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
The whole points a guilty as church and I have
no shame, shame disqualified.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
If you missed the show on Monday, don't hate the player, guys,
hate the game. You still your lunch. There was no
rules set in place, so you earned it right.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
But there was like a gaggle of women eating lunch
right outside of our building, right in our viewing space
where we have our meeting and rich, you know, and
a friendly dare said to Loan Kron, if you go
out there and say, hey, ladies, what's the tea? He said,
if you go up to those women and pull up
a chair, I'll buy you lunch for the rest of
the week. Low and Kron, without hesitation, marched right outside,

(04:48):
grabbed the chair, went right up to the ladies. We
didn't know what he said, but we saw the whole thing.
We found out today that he told them that he
was dared. Is it's like qualification. It's like telling your buddy, hey,
I'll buy you a shot and a beer at the
bar back in your twenties. You'll go approach that girl
and I'll bow your next two drinks. You can't go
up to the girl and be like, hey, I'm approaching

(05:09):
because my buddy dared me. So the ladies did say
it was funny, but they did call you out, Loan Cron,
and they said that you confess that it was in
fact the dare.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I have no regrets. I do it again, and actually
I've done something like that before. No, no regrets, no shame.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Anything for free food, Low and Crime, Low and con
Man exactly. But they did say they ended by saying
nothing turns them on more than a middle age update anchor.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
So they talked about the Sager, yes, and his unbridled sexuality.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
That is true.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
No, they said, who will do anything for a free lunch?
So I think they were talking about you. So that's
Low and Crown. We got to scoop. Those ladies were
sitting out there again. Maybe they got the hots, maybe
they just maybe they maybe they see Danny g strutting
in with his Raiders and Lakers Geary there. Yeah, maybe
they saw Iowa Sam and they're like, ooh, who's because
they've been sitting out there all week. But anyway, that's
the update there. So we have lots to get to

(06:02):
aside from Booty's and Low in con and Midweek Major
and more. There's a story that broke today, and when
it broke, I'm like, well, I heard those rumors for
a long time. I'm not surprised, but my immediate reaction,
even as a fan, was, oh, man, this is dumb.

(06:23):
We've jumped the shark. It's official, this is corny. I
don't like it. I got I don't get it, and
I'm talking about the November fourteenth fight on Netflix. Apparently
Jake Paul and Tank Davis have agreed to fight, and

(06:43):
this is just ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'll tell you why. It's right out of the Jake
Paul playbook.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
But he decides to fight the most beloved legend when
he's fifty seven at the time, Mike Tyson, and that
broke Netflix sports records.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
It was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Remember everyone's Netflix was freezing up because so many people
were watching. It was worth it for Netflix, it was
worth it for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. But now
you go from heavyweight legend who you could argue, oh,
you know, thirty years twenty years past his prime, now
you're fighting the pound for pound best boxer in the game.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
But he's also a guy that's half your size.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
All right, So let me give you the tail of
the tape to really help you understand what's going on here.
If this happens and it seems to be official, I'll
tell you straight up, the question is has boxing jumped
the shark or are you really interested? Has boxing turned
into WWE right before our eyes? Or is this entertainment

(07:43):
remember fourteenth on Netflix. Here's the reach, Tank Davis sixty
seven inches to Jake Paul's seventy six inches. Now, Tank
Davis is only thirty years old, but he's already talking
about retirement. Just on that out Let'll tell you almost
a foot difference and reached it. I know Jake Paul
twenty eight, so thirty and twenty eight. Their records Tank

(08:08):
Davis thirty zho to one. Jake Paul's professional fighting record
is twelve and one. So you know Tank has a
resume for sure. But here's where you're like, oh, yeah,
that's ridiculous. Here's the height difference. Tank Davis is five

(08:28):
foot five and Jake Paul is six foot one, and
even worse, here's the weight difference.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Tank Davis made his.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Name in the one to thirty one to thirty five
division one thirty five especially, he's fighting at Well's Last
Way in one thirty three point eight. Jake Paul weighs
one hundred and ninety nine to two hundred plus on
a good day. That guy's well over two hundred pounds heavyweight.
He should be fighting Anthony Joshua. He's going to fight

(08:59):
any sort of on the downward trajectory of their career.
He's fighting a guy who significantly significantly smaller. Yeah, with
a lot of experience.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Tank Davis. Pound for pound, he's one of the best,
but canny hang with a big, strong young boxer. He's
not a YouTube guy anymore. By the name of Jake Paul.
I think this is sort of dumb. However, Rich, I
got to admit, even though I feel like this is dumb,
I would absolutely watch so I know that makes no sense,

(09:34):
but I find this.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
To be stupid. Then you answered your own question.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Did it jump to shark No, yes, but his boxing
and the fight game finding new ways to intrigue young
fans that love spectacles, that love YouTube and TikTok, And
I'm always saying next, I'm being honest, I think it's dumb.
But yeah, of course I'll watch No Offense. When we
do weekend hobb I watch Love Island. Of course I'll
watch this. But I'm saying you're the guy that's like
on a Friday will alert everyone like, hey, guys, if

(10:00):
you want to watch Saturday and you start naming boxers
that I mean, I know the names because I follow boxing.
But for the most part, no one cares go ahead.
Rich always gives two examples. You're always like Chuck Latito Lopez.
Rich always says, I don't know who Chuck Latito is.
You're always talking about better BV. I'm like, these are
great fighters. I know by the way they never fight

(10:21):
each other. But that would be like better be a
fighting Chuck Latito. But I'll say this, it's like Tyson
fighting a young Sugar Ray Leonard even smaller. Probably it's stupid.
It's a heavyweight fighting a guy who iss one hundred
and thirty five pound question last year. Oddly enough, this

(10:44):
is much Chuck. You, Kivino and I hang out socially
outside of here. Yeah, most radio shows hate each other.
We actually enjoy and tolerate each other's company. We've been
friends for twenty years. Last year we went with some
of our friends into the beach house in Miami, went
to a Dolphins game, rented a boat like we had

(11:04):
like a nice bros. Weekend, and it lined up with
the Tyson Jake Paul fight. And I can't tell you
how much of a great part of our weekend with
our buddies that was the anticipation of Jake Paul Mike
Tyson while we all had this stupid illusion maybe Mike
Tyson could hang and he couldn't.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was still fun.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I think the fact that we're rolling it back and
running it back in November with just another guy and
Jake Paul Netflix, you'll be buffering hoping that it works.
You're gonna learn the answer to a question we've always
wanted to know. Can a little guy that's the best

(11:44):
because you see these guys when when Manny pac Man
Pockao or Floyd Mayweather Junior are seeming unbeatable in the
two thousands, you always wonder like he could, like a
mediocre big guy just whooped their asks.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
There so much bigger.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
No, that's why there's a pound for because you'll never
see that, and you have to factor in that these
guys are significantly smaller.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But we've interviewed all these boxers.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Danny g I'm not saying I'm a big guy, but
I'm relatively close to Jake Paul size. Jake Paul is
six two hundred pounds. That's sort of like my measurements
pretty much.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
That.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, but everybody carries weight different, isn't Donald Trump two fifteen?

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (12:25):
You also have some dumb videos on YouTube. Also, that
is true. But I'm not saying I'm ripped like Jake Paul.
I'm just saying I'm a six foot guy that's one
ninety something. I've interviewed little boxers that feel so small.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Standing next to me. But I know he would whoop
my ass.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, but you're not a fighter. Jake Paul is a fighter,
is credited, But you don't think this is the ultimate. Oh,
I do want to see what happens. I do want
to see what happens when Javonte Tank Davis, who's known
as a guy that's never lost.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
He's freaking awesome in the ring, a great fighter.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
He has knockout power. We saw him live in Vegas,
remember Coveno. We weren't far from the ring and the
sound of him hitting the opponent stood out to us.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
But Danny g why not run at bank with Lamont Roach,
who deserves the rematch, who he got the drug? I know,
But Danny instead he wants to have this circus fight
for the for the bag.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
He had whispered about retirement and announced retirement because he's
done with the sport. You know what, I love, fed
up and it's corrupt, and he doesn't like the the
sport and where it's headed. The same reason I loved
when we were in Vegas a handful of years ago
and you and I saw the excitement and were very
interested in Connor McGregor Floyd Mayweather Junior. It's that element,

(13:45):
though at least they're the same sign. It's that element
of like, holy crap, what's gonna happen?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
And Danny G. I love the fact that we both
came in here today.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Danny G rolls up, puts down his bag and he's
like man Dramonte's gonna whoo possess and Commino's like, no way, Jake.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Paul is so much bigger.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
The fact that you guys disagree is why I want
to watch.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
This so much. Danny J.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
You said Tank Davis packs a punch. You really think
he'll win this fight if they go at it for real?

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Just the eye test. And now I've not seen Paul
in person, but we've seen Tank twice.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
True.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
He has pop, He's got pop, and he's got great
ring IQ. You've always heard that about him.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Great timing, great counter puncher.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
I think he could maybe outsmart Paul a little bit
in the ring and if he gets some solid even Okay,
there's a height difference obviously, so go to the body.
If he packs a punch the way we know he
can to the body, then Paul's going to be feeling
it all right.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well your calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
Jump the Shark still gonna watch and you're taking on
this fight. Here's what I'm thinking too, though, I don't
think there's any way possible. I don't know the technical
rules here, but there's no way this could be a
sanctioned fight. We got a lightweight fighter at one thirty five,
who knows what he's going to weigh in at. There's

(14:59):
got to be a catchweight of sorts, right that I
haven't heard, So maybe there's some sort of Jake Paul
can't be over two hundred pounds and Tank's gonna show up,
you know, in the one fifties or something.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
He's a small guy. Anybody, you just can't be a
sanctioned fight.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
You don't need to be Max Kellerman, Mario Lopez, Jim Lampley,
al Bernie Bernstein to have an opinion, because we know
these guys like hey, spot our video guy, Isaac long Crown.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
I was Sam, you know both these guys.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Is your instinct Tank Davis an undefeated one hundred and
thirty pound guy versus Jake Paul who's over six foot
Do you have an instinct like big guy wins or no,
the guy that's a professional boxer wins.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Danny G says Tank. I.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Steve Cavino say, if this is a real fight, and
I'm not trying to discredit Jake Paul, but if it's
not sanctioned, who knows, this could be a glorified sparring match.
And I don't know what they have planned that spot
you unsanctioned. I think Jake Paul annihilates them. My big
strong and he's a box You've been into twenty five
fights with us, at least in Vegas over the years.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
What is your instinct?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Jake Paul six one, two hundred pounds, tiny little Tank Davis?
But Tank Davis is also the pound for pound best
fighter in boxing.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
According to something.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
I mean, it's you can't discredit Jake Paul like he's
like you said, he's no longer a YouTube star. He's
put it in a little bit of work. He's a
ranked boxer, he's a ranked boxer, he's had some fights.
Granted they haven't all been incredibly legit fights, meaning like
who he's his opponents are. But at the same time,
we always tell you always talk about, especially Cavino, how

(16:33):
the sweet science of boxing, and this is a person
who has dedicated their life, meaning Tank Davis, to the
sweet science of boxing. So in that alone, I may
give the edge to that. But if you're going, you know,
based on size alone, and you know a little bit
of experience that Jake Paul does have, it's very possible
that he could edge out Tank Davis.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's a great point. I give props the spot on
that one. If there's a chance. Is Tank Davis giving
an absolute masterclass in boxing, stick and move, hit and move,
box the hell out of him, run, use the ring
to his advantage, not giving Jake Paul a chance. But
if Jake Paul lands some body shots and hits him clean,

(17:17):
it's over.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
He's too big, he's too strong.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
But it really puts Javonte Davis's boxing skills, like spots
at his sweet science to the test here, So we'll see. Unfortunately,
because there's so many other great fights that you want
to Fortunately, yes, fortunately, No, remember fourteen on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
It's a Friday night.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
We're all gonna watch it Atlanta. The crowd is going
to be Banana.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
No do we head there? Do we go?

Speaker 5 (17:40):
I think we should?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh man, I could? I? Oh wait, we're gonna be
in Arizona. Yeah, we're doing. That's a weekend of like,
that's our bros weekend again. We're having We're having bro tides.
Suck you guys, Spotty, We're gonna got so so. You
know how sometimes when we talk about football points spreads
on the weekend, and a lot of times all one

(18:03):
of my strategies because I do love wagering like everyone else,
I like to look at the games without a point
spread before I look because then if my instinct's so
different than what Vegas is saying, then I like that bet.
But there are times where you're like, no, Ravens against
Bengals at home, It'll probably be like minus three and
a half. Like sometimes you're right on the money. I'm

(18:25):
glad we discussed this before we looked up the odds.
What do you think Vegas says? Because that is not
something they put zero thought into. The Vegas odds are
trust me, when millions and millions and millions of dollars
are possibly on the line. Vegas odds usually dictate what
the public is thinking. Who's the favorite, because I know

(18:48):
the answer, Jake Paul, Tank Davis, Get out of my face.
Thank Davis is currently minus one point eighty. It's not
a big favorite, meaning you would have to bet one
hundred eighty dollars to win one hundred. Jake Paul is
plus one point forty. You bet one hundred to win
one hundred and forty. So pit Bull Cruise went twelve

(19:08):
rounds with Tank Davis. Pit Bull Cruise is five foot one. Well,
I'm telling you, buddy boy, that Jake Paul six foot one.
Then on a short day, he's a big dude. Go
get your ass to CIRCA or BETMGM, or you know,
go on DraftKings, do whatever you need to do, because
if you think Jake Paul is just gonna whoop his ass,
then Jake Paul's the underdogar And by the way, I'm

(19:29):
not the guy who thinks Jake Paul's up to Shenanigan's.
I've never claimed that their fixes. I never claim that,
oh he's rigged. I've never been that guy.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Better not he'll sue you, like yeah, no, no no. And
that's not even why I'm saying that.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm just saying I'm not the nay saying Jake Paul
hating kind of guy. I'm just making that clear. But
if this isn't a sanctioned fight, and I don't know
how it could be because of the height and weight
disparities here, then anything I think is a possibility. So
I don't know what Vegas knows. Eight seven cent. I've
been ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich. Has

(20:03):
boxing turned into WWE? Is that a good thing in
your opinion? Does that bring more excitement to boxing?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Well?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Whereas boxing jumped the Henry Winkler Phonsie Shark ew me,
let me say this, there's other factors. And I'm again
I'm not Harold Letterman with the unofficial scorecard. I'm not
your boxing expert. Rest and peace, rest in peace back
to you, Jim. There there are factors that we don't

(20:33):
you know, we haven't read up enough where they're not
out yet, like what size gloves, how many rounds, how
many how much time any rounds? Like there are factors
that will sway you towards one of these fighters, Like
remember the Mike Tyson fight, there were shorter rounds, less rounds.
The size of the boxing gloves matters because listen.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
For the record too.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
You know, we talked about the quickness advantage that a
tank would have and his boxing abilities, his swiftness, his quickness.
He does pack a punch, like Danny g referenced. He
is thirty one to oh one draw, twenty eight wins
by knockout. So yeah, I guess you can't underestimate that

(21:15):
type of power. But Jake Paul's also used to being
hit by bigger guys, stronger fighters. So as far as
intrigue c see Vetty intrigued, I get it, and there's
interest there.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
But it just feels dumb, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Like now, Jake Paul again six one, two hundred pounds,
juvante tank, Davis five to five one thirty five. You
know when you go to David Busters or a bar,
they'll have that little hanging punching bag. You punch and
see how hard your punches. Yeah, most fighters usually around
eight sixty the fifty. Those machine the silly like you know, machines,

(21:55):
hurting yourself doing that of course. It's like when you
when you try to see how fast you can throw,
pulled that warming up and you got my arm.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, yeah, shoulder comes.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Out, break up bracelet.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, like the Cavino broke a watching a bracelet at
the All Star Game doing a fast pitch.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's how much heat I was thrown.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I mean it sizzled off my for the novices, for
the people that don't know as much as you, because
Camino doesn't know a lot about boxing.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
No man, I'm no Mario Lopez. Is that what you said? Yes?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Okay, Chip, okay, Jim, okay. Chip. So we got a
really tiny guy here by the name of Tank Davis
and a guy who's big and strong who used to
fight on you too, but he's a legitimate fighter. I
think it's gonna be a clear win for Jake Paul.
Back to you, Jim, Thank you, l like great Harold Letterman.

(22:44):
Now let me ask you, Cove, if you were to
put Jake Paul and Tank Davis and instead of that
little you know, David Buster's game, if they punched you
with a body with a bodysuit on and and you had, uh,
you have the gloves on, you had the punchy gl
I'd much rather take the punch from Givonte Davis. Do
you think he's the side he's the same size as
my girlfriend? Give me a break? Yes, then Jake Paul,

(23:08):
he's a two hundred pound strong weight. When you put
he's knocked out professional fighters, bro, it sounds ridiculous. But
when you put it in perspective, your girlfriend is five,
it could be five five, one hundred and thirty pounds.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
She's five six with heels on. That's the size of
like your your girlfriend. Yes, where Jake Paul is six one,
two hundred pounds.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
She's not built like tank though.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
He's tiny. One hundred and thirty five right weight.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
Then sixth grade, his punches were echoing in the arena.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
I get that because he's fighting other little dudes. One
hundred and thirty five. What was the last time we
got one hundred thirty five pounds?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Eighth grade? Sixth grade? That's how small he is.

Speaker 6 (23:45):
You're you're underestimating the power, and I absolutely you definitely are.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Know I Becauesse Vegas has him as a favorite, so
clearly Vegas is leaning towards pound for pound smaller guy.
Gotta see the beats I want to see, like wait,
or what's the limit for Jake Paul here? So that's
the news today, that's the update. I also think you're
full of it and not you could mean I'm saying
anyone that says, oh no the spectacle, who cares if

(24:12):
you're not intrigued a little bit? Again, Jake Paul, props
to you, my friend. You know why because just when
I'm like, yeah, do I care about Jake Paul anymore?
To see Jake Paul fight, the best undefeated little guy
in boxing does have intrigued creditors.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
He Son of a Gun got us again.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
The bronze bomber man, not this tiny Gervante dat man.
You know, it's like Jake Paul's like a better fighter
would be against Rich Davis than Gervonte David.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Let me tell you, Jake Paul is like the Ringling
Brothers been Barnuman Belly Circus when I was a kid.
Every year they came back with like a new special
attraction in the center ring, and You're like, how are.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
They gonna out and do it? Son of a Gun
got us again?

Speaker 8 (24:53):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Remember the year they told you there was a unicorn.
It was just a horse with a horn staple to it. Yeah,
if I I really was a man of honor, I
would say.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm not even gonna watch it. Get out of here.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm gonna watch it, but it is dumb. Eight seven
seven ninety Did you have with a bull pop corner
to drink in your hands, don't you? Guys? On Arizona
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, we go to
your thoughts. Next is Covino and Rich on a National

Stick around for that.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
You know.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
They always say radio is the most intimate medium out there,
right in your ears right there. Yeah, so I mean, hi,
keep your pants on. But they're saying a lot of
times you watch a movie, you'll watch a show that's
streaming or TV. You usually with friends or family or
other people. Radio and podcasting a lot of times you're
rolling solo. So there's a connection there.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's just me and you.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Thank you for listening. Guys appreciate it. So we love
what we do. Happy to be here. We have lots
to get to, but we're getting to your feedback now.
On this ridiculous circus fight. Jake Paul versus Tank Davis.
Tank Davis who built his name in the super featherweight division,
like one thirty tiny guys five foot five.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, he packs a punch for his weight division. Like
I was explaining before.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's what we have, punch, That's why we have a
pounds four pounds stats. Not to sound sexist, Yeah, what
thirty is like a like an inn shaped woman's weight?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, like what guy weighs one thirty? I was reading, like,
do you know a guy, dame a? Do you know guy?
Does anyone here know a grown man that's one hundred
and thirty pounds?

Speaker 5 (27:32):
A grown up?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Like a grown up?

Speaker 5 (27:33):
I mean, I think Iowa was wrestlers have the I
think they get down to one thirty wrestlers.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
I'm saying, like a muscle. I was saying, you one
hundred and thirty pounds of muscles. I was saying, what
do you like? Five ten, five, eleven ten? What do
you five to ten? One hundred eighty pounds?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Ninety pounds? Like you think I'm one eighty? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Oh, by the way, if you don't have a twenty
while Tank Davis is a small guy for his weight class,
let alone fighting a real strong big man like Jake Paul,
young man like Jake Paul. So it's supposed to be
happening November fourteenth on Netflix. I'm saying it's ridiculous. Yeah,
it's awesome. You got I'll watch. Rich is saying it's awesome.

(28:13):
Danny g says, you know, I believe what Vegas is saying.
Tank Davis is gonna win this fight. And now we
go to you at eight seven seven ninety nine, m
Fox Tyler, let's go to you in Ohio. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Hey, I just wanted to say. He asked himself as
the perfect villain.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
He's Rick Flair, He's gorgeous, George.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
You want to see him get a space punch?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Why everybody watched Tim and Tyson.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Because everyone had this delusion that, oh man, maybe Mike
Tyson couldland a punch, and we all fell for the stupidity.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I lost a couple hundred bucks. I'm the asked clown
that's like, I don't even remember what happened.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
And yeah, Tyson came on our show and goes, I
forget I'm talking about it. He started bowing to me.
There's a definitely of this where it's like, of course,
like now everyone's like, dude's a bell Tommy fights a
real fighter. But then now the caveats. Yeah, it's a
real fighter and undefeated champion. But an undefeated champion that's
half his side. I will say I applaud him for

(29:11):
making these circus fights happen. He does the impossible because
for years, like Rich alluded to earlier. We always wondered
what it would be like if Muhammad Ali fought a
tiny guy, if Ali foughta Paki?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
How right? Hey man? What do you think you think
Mayweather could fight a Clitchko? Who would win?

Speaker 2 (29:32):
He's actually making the impossible happen. I give him all
the credit in the world for that, but it is ridiculous.
I think Jake Paul, if it's a legitimate fight, even
though I think it'll probably be unsanctioned, I think he
destroys Tank Davis. Who do we got next? But by
the way, I just got to throw this out of here.
I looked it up. You know, Jake Paul's beautiful girlfriend.

(29:55):
Is it Juttah or Judah Leerman. She's the speed skater,
the Olympian hot blonde from uh she's Dutch.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
The dude's dating a woman who's five eleven.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
His girlfriend is six inches taller than the man he's
about to fight.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
There is a big differential here.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
And that's Tank Davis wearing hide increasing boots. Let's say
out of Tony Tony in Oregon, what's up, man, Hey Tony.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Thanks for taking the call. Hey, I have a second
take on the large booty movement. But first, like a
boxing fan, all my life as a smaller guy, I've
always kind of like wondered, you know how I fight
like this might go. I really feel like if Paul's
like if he's Tiff, Tank's kind of getting the better
of Paul, all he has to do is just like
cover up and just kind of you know, run the clock.

(30:44):
And I really don't think there's anything else that is
gonna I hope.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
It doesn't go that way, Tony said.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
You said, as a boxing fan who's a you know,
a shorter guy, you know how a lot of guys
a lot of times will root for the older guy
to do well because it's like, as we're all getting older,
this for for short kings like you, Tony, you better
be rooting for Tank Davis to show that just because
the guy is smaller, he could still pack a punch.
I think people are going to be rooting for Tank
Davis for sure. I agree.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
I will be rooting for Tank, But I mean, in reality,
and if I had to put money down, it would
be hard to you know, bet on that guy, because
you like it's always been said, the best, better big
man is always gonna win. Hey, on the big booty movement.
You guys remember, let's see I graduated in the June
of the ninety two and August of ninety two. This
then get MTV.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Oh you got that rump Shaker.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Rump Shaker, which, by the way, a lot of people
don't realize the first song that Farrell produced. You could
watch the story of it in a documentary done in
lego form called Peace by Piece is actually fantastic if
you want to learn more about Pharrell. So thank you, buddy,
rump Shaker. All I want to do is zoom is zoom,

(31:52):
zoom zoom in the boom boom, shake the rump. Who
do we got next? Let's wrap with Mitch and Jersey
theyn't get an update with Isaac. Mitch, make it snappy?

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Do what' something?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
In?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
How are we doing? A happy?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Were you?

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Manon Isaac over there.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Watson is so corrupt.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I mean Ken Nolan would have cleaned up and he
was fighting these days.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
He always for it the wrong time and remember ed
Jones at too told Jones trying to act as back
I thought he'd be winning everything.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
But it's not.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
It's not about the side about the pack of the punch.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
There yeah, listen, I think of anything we learned, why
don't you try to knocking MEDDW Vegas has a pretty
close in the room. There's people on both sides of this,
so I think, if anything, damn. Congrats to Jake Paul
for intriguing us enough to look forward to What is it?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Friday, November fourteenth? Yes, put it on the calendar.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
We swore we wouldn't fall into his web and we
did again.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Oh good, good god. All let's go to Isaac for
an update.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
Isaac Leewing Cohn, Hey, buddy, chron Con, thank you fellows.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left practice early today after
he got his footstepped on, but the Ravens told reporters
that Jackson is just fine. The Chicago Bears signed backup
quarterback Tyson Bagent to a two year contract extension were
up to sixteen million dollars with ten million guaranteed. The
Bears also signed running back Royce Freeman. Atlanta Falcons right

(33:15):
tackle Caleb McGarry was carted off the practice field today
with an apparent left leg injury.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
And we'll have an MRI Baseball Kyle Schwarber five RBI
and hit his National League leading forty fifth home run
the Phillies eleven to two. What over the Maritors, Schwarber
passing show Hey o'tani for the National league lead. He
now trails cal Raley by two for the Major League lead.
Philadelphia's Jesus Louzardo struck out twelve and six innings for
his twelfth win. Pirates knocked off the Blue Jays two

(33:41):
to one, and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Houston Astros
seven to two to sweep their three game series.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Guys, all yours, thank you, Isaac, thank you, buddy.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Excited for your Yankees tonight? Hell yeah, after that performance yesterday,
nine home runs one home run away from tying the
MLB records in nineteen eighty seven by the Toronto Blue
Jays back in the George Bell Days, nine home runs
back to back to back.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Stanton hit two.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
Man, talk about the whole team waking up.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
And you know what, Dan Ellinger hit two. Yeah, it
was insane.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
You're Dodgers played big, My Mets played big. I'm hoping
Kavino is right when he said yesterday all all the
premier teams are going to really start to step on
the gas as the playoffs get closer. Because there's no guarantees. Man,
there's no guarantees. So we'll see what happens. We got
more Covino and Rich again midweek Major, We'll talk some NFL,
We'll talk some MLB.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
All here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Did this song start the butt explosion? And when I
say butt explosion, I'm not talking about spot this morning
spots on the videos. You know, we're streaming live Fox
Sports Radios YouTube, but we have our own page now.
It's at Covino and Rich FSR. At Covino and Rich
FSR on YouTube. Cavino that is Rich Davis's having a

(35:01):
breeth day. Follow the page again YouTube dot com, slash

our tire IRAQ play of the Day.

Speaker 1 (35:11):

The records ten Yankees hit nine twice this season though
Bellinger hit two, Big G John Carlo hit two, Caballiro
hit two against his former team. And again that's courtesy
of Yankee Radio Network our tire Raq play of the day.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship Fast and free back by free Roade has a

(36:00):
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerac,
tyrack dot comy tyre Bronk should be. I have a
final thought on the Dravante Tank Davis Jake Paul thing, and.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I do too. Like Jerry Springer, I'm gonna rap it.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
It's from the X account of Ryan Garcia, the very
controversial Ryan who is knocked out by Tank from a
body shot Ryan.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
But Ryan came in emaciated. Remember what the weight clause?
King Ryan.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Has obviously got wind of this and he said, I
strongly doubt this happens, even though it's been announced.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
He said, no way.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Dravante accepts Jake Paul at one hundred and ninety five pounds.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Dravante is already small.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Naturally, and you really think he's going to decide to
balloon up to one hundred and ninety five A bunch
of laughing emojis. Then he said, you got to be
delusional to think that this is gonna happen, and then
he followed that up with boxing is officially theble e wow.
That's what I said. So it feels very much like that.
And I'll wrap it up by saying this, I fully

(37:08):
admit I'm talking out of both sides, like double talking Dickie.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
I think it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
I think it's sort of dumb, but of course I'll watch, right,
I watch dumber things on TV. I watched some of
the stuff I was gonna say, recommend you watch Love Island.
You've disqualified yourself from ever saying something.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Since du there are still.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Legitimate fights to look for and to get excited about.
September thirteenth, Canelo Alvarez takes on Bud Crawford and I
can't wait, so I kill you. Always quote the l
Passo Tortilla Girl, right, yes, the old l Passo Tortilla girl.
What if they were deciding do we do flour or

(37:50):
corn tortillas.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
And the answer was, why not both?

Speaker 2 (37:54):
And why can't you have Bud Crawford Canelo and have
your serious boxing, you know match, And then say, you
know what, I'm also entertained by Jake Paul and Tank Davis.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I think I look at that and say it the
double win.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
I just think this one's over the time, ridiculous. But
we'll be watching November fourteenth on Netflix as of now.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's official. All right, now you want to make fun
of gen.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Z, I do, and we're gonna give away prizes of
Mike Swartz a Wisdom Midweek Major. But I had a
question because we're watching a lot of Little League World
Series in the background.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Better believe it, man.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
You know I'm on the biggest bestest coach on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
WHOA, that's a bold state. We know this. I know
all the Little League moms are taking a liking to you, to.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
You, wasn't your winning percentage like three twenty one last season?

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Again, I said, the best coach on Fox Sports Radio,
damn winning. So I noticed that the.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Little League World Series, and you know with the Little League
and pony Ball, which I coach, and my daughter's softball,
they have the safety base at first, you know, the
orange base where the runner uses the orange base and
the fielding the defense uses.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
The white bag. The bananas use it too, and I
softball teams use it.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
I said to know, I said, you don't remember using
that as a kid, And you know, if you're a
kid of the eighties and nineties, it wasn't around. So
I actually looked up when did they introduce this? And
it's almost like the mystery of the Internet. All I
can find, though, is get this. It's gonna be in
college and high school baseball. It should be in the
pro starting in twenty twenty seven. It is gonna be
everywhere and the Little League World Series and Little League

(39:33):
and kids around the country. It's become official as of
this year where it's mandatory. That way, the first basement
doesn't get tangled up with the runner. The runner stays
in the baseline. It's no confusion. It makes sense. It's
one of those things that like to argue. It would
be like, what are we arguing for? It's fine, like
two bases at first.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I've never had a problem with.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
And and you got the white bag in fair territory for
the first baseman. The orange bag in foul territory for
the Runner. I think it'll ever hit the majors. I shit,
I'm not sure why it hasn't, like, like, why not
at this point? Right it's it's I don't think it
wulcifies the game in all, honestly, not even a little bit.
So not your thoughts at covid on retrigd more next
