While you're at it, search Covino and Rich. We be
(01:05):
rocking out, so we got to wrap up this Gronk conversation.
But the big news today is Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul
still in the works. We talked about it first hour.
I want to say again, the more I think about it,
Jake Paul has no shot. However, everybody has a fighter's chance.
It's just is it beneath Anthony Joshua. We got to
(01:26):
see what the money's all about and what happens and
in the world of fighting Rich, I just got to say,
shame on everybody for downplaying the significance of Christy Martin
because no one's going to see that movie. And Sydney
Sweeney put all her heart and soul into this project
and nobody cares. And it's a big story. And there's
a lot of boneheads out there like Rich who were
(01:47):
downplaying her significance. And I was like, dude, I heard
of her, Dude, Well that's on you. She was a
dominant female boxer in the Mike Tyson era, fighting on
those pay per views and breaking through in female boxing.
Pioneer man, she was the best there was out there,
so I understand it's just her fame didn't transcend. But
it's like some Wheeler who the fabulous Mulah. Get at him,
(02:11):
Get out of my face, Get out of my face.
That's like saying Pacman wasn't popular because you don't see
him today, you know what I mean? Like she was
popular back then, her fame just didn't transcend into the
day's world. It's like saying Ronda Ralsi wasn't big thirty
years from now. It's like, yeah, she was, Doug.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yo, don't you say something so asinine? As Ronda Rausi
and Christy Martin in the same conversation, I.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Never said Christy Martin's asses a nine, But Sidney Sweeney
not too shabby? No, I said, Asinine? Oh, Asenine? What
is that? Just kidding? I'm joking. God, you know, just
because you're ignorant of her career don't know who she was,
doesn't make the fact that she was a prominent figure
in the world of boxing not true. She was guess what, pally.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Her story hasn't really been told, so maybe Sidney Sweeney
is the person to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But go around the studio.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If I'm the only ass clown, and then call me
the club. But Sam, Danny g Dan Bayer, were you
that familiar with the career in life of Christy Martin
before you found out Sidney Sweeney was doing a movie.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's like saying, you don't remember Butterbean. Butterbean was a
big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, I actually do. And I'm not saying this because
of the Cavino guy. But she was the only female boxer.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
She was the only one that anyone cared about, and
women were like, damn, man, this girl kicks ass. I
remember the female American Gladiators more well. I remember I
was a big fan of Blaze myself.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I remember the Glow. I remember the gorgeous ladies of wrestling.
I watched Glow wrestling as.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You also the biggest bonehead here. You are making fun
of Gronkowski. You you think that just anything that you
know is fact, and that's it. Anything that happened before
you or your knowledge didn't count or never happened. That
doesn't make it true. That's a good point, but that
doesn't make it true. So anyway, that's also a big
story that Rich and I were fighting about on our
(03:53):
Patreon early today. But since boxing's in the news with
Anthony Joshua, wanted to bring that up. Iowa, Sam, what's up?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I have three takes must make I'm just champion at
the bit here, I only knew about butter Bean through Jackass.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Gotta be honest, he was guessing you're also a little younger, Sam, Yeah,
you're in your thirties. Dude, apparently done almost done with that.
And then also you said the Asac joke. That's I
think that's an old Jeff fox Worth the Blue Collar
Comedy tour? Are you calling me a Carlos smithcia? I
just remember him saying a foreigner. Now, I don't know,
(04:27):
I don't follow blue collar comedy. This is an old
joke from that tour.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But I want to say that I read an article
about this movie that this the company that was in
charge of distributing and kind of promoting it just did
not do a good job of letting people know hello.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And she was part of a giant controversy with the
stupid genie, so that overshadowed it.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Also, the company that was supposed to advertise it and
promote it did not do a great job.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And uh, let me let me ask you this. I
said this to Rich, I said, what Jake Lamatta everyone
was so well versed in Jake Lamada. No, but Raging
Bow was still a great movie, you know, and Robert
de Niro is in it. A good movie is gonna
be a good movie. Maybe it's not that good of
a movie. I don't know, but her story and her
legitimacy in boxing should not be under line.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And also one more thing, you guys, I only knew
about her because you guys had been tipped off that
she was going to be in this movie. It was
in the works, and so we started talking about her.
I didn't know who she was, but I also didn't
know who like the guy in Cinderella Man was, And
that's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
James, I said to me, Broaderick, what's James? Uh? What
the hell's his name? He did the he built the
Goffels Bridge. Why am I trying? Oh, Matthew Broderick, No, James,
that hell's his name? James Braddock. James Braddock. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
And so like, you don't have to know about these
people j brad from the history books. But if you,
if a movie tells you about it, that's the whole
point of the movie.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, Rich is like Rich's stances. Nobody knows her. What
do you know about Jake Lamata? What did you know
about James J. Braddick? Nothing, absolutely nothing. So that's not it.
It's bad publicity, and it's the fact that she got
bad press and no one promoted this enough.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Hey, bang your head against the wall and maybe you'll
clear up some of those coblips or something that's going on.
Because I said to you earlier today, I'll say it again.
If this movie was on Netflix, you know HBO max
If who was on Prime. It's a great like, oh,
documentary about a female boxer. I might not know that
much about, Oh, Sidney Sweeney and those you know her speedbags.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'm watching, you said, you said because nobody knows Christy Martin,
because you actually what you said, because you don't know
Christy Martin. You and you think you're the b all
end All because you didn't know her. That's why nobody cares.
And I'm telling you I watched a movie about Frankenstein
last night. You think I care about Frankenstein? Since when
is that the reason you watch something? What do you
(06:42):
watch about Frankenstin? There's so many good shows on you.
There's new movie on Netflix. It's actually pretty good. Well,
you know, I'm about to fly home tonight anyway, frankenst
is a gear Mode del tour. Yeah, I think so.
It's really good. Yeah, but I'll tell you what, I
don't want to harp too much on it because we
still got to talk Gronkowski and our guy Mike is here.
Our guy Mike is here. He's a busy guy. He
(07:04):
don't have time to waste and he wants to drop
some wisdom on Hold on, Mike. Mike's a guy that
knows a lot. Who you know, Big Micro runs his
place there. He is everybody watched and thinks we have
Rick from Pond stars on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I tell you you know, Mike, our buddy Shay at
Fox Sports Radio. He was hanging on our Patreon the
other day and we brought up Peter Peter Gammons looking
like Philip Drummond from of course Different Strokes, and he
didn't know the story, like see.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The little guy that you know. Gary Coleman goes, yeah,
I've heard of him.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I go, you know, he's famously known for sea blocking
Big Mike, Mike, do you know the Do you know
much about Christy Martin before the stock Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Actually I was way into Christy Martin back in the
end of the day. She was a trail blazer and
absolutely in the news. I knew all about her.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
She was on the cover of magazines. She was everywhere.
She was the girl except you know that story sort
of fizzled when the eighties went away.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, you and Kevino could go together cut a hole
in the popcorn box for all I care.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
All Right, Well, hey, just because you don't know it
doesn't make it true.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
We're not a Saturday night life skit.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, okay, And if you don't know, how about you
go and watch and learn something reaching a box over here,
so you know what I mean. Anyway, your thoughts at
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Now is your chance.
We do this every Wednesday, your chance to take home
some seeing our goodies. Some prizes are nerf CNR on
FSR turbo football and if you could repeat Mike's Wednesday
(08:34):
words of wisdom verbatim, you win.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
These turbo footballs, I feel like they're the type where,
you know, like back of the day when your kid,
you're like you, I could throw this seventy yards.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's a nice one. Yeah. This one has a nice
grip and nice weight to it. So all right, Mike,
it's all you. It's time for the guy that runs
this place.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Just for clarification, guys, big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power of really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
It's big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Sports do not build character, They reveal it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Man, that's an easy breezy wow. No repeats, no repeats
on that one. If you can't repeat that verbatim, you're bonehead. Yeah,
it's one of my favorite of all time. That's a
good one, tho.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Absolutely one of my favorite of all time, being a
sports fan, always played sports my whole life growing up.
It's it's so true it hurts.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Hey, Mike, can you feel about Damn Bayer adamantly denying
you run this place?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I don't think we need to get into the issues
between me and Dan Bayer right now.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
We've been we've been working together for decades, literally decades.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
I watched you know that, Mike, the minute we brought
that up. Yeah, Mike runs this place. Dan was the
quickest to shoot.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
That does not surprise absolutely does not surprise me at all.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There's a long history there, so that's why he did
not hesitate.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You guys, walk in all new and stuff, and I
like that he must be the guy that runs things.
And I blame both of you actually for for perpetuating
this lie.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's become a thing. Dan, I refuse to dignify.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I have that with the response.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You know, I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with the
story for all right. So the number is eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. If you think you could
repeat that verbatim, if you want a chance to win
a nerve football, it's a great stocking stuffer your chance
to win right now? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
It's Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
No cove, you're gonna be watching tonight. A big test
for the Lakers. Let's talk a little NBA Lakers, Okase,
I know it's early, Lebron's not even back yet, but
is this a Is this a great early season litmus
test for Danny G's Lakers.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I think the answer is obvious. Yes, yeah, absolutely, See
where they stand, See how good they play against the
former champs. I mean absolutely, Like we talked about before
with Jake Paul, if he could beat even contend with
an Anthony Joshua, it puts you in a different level
so you could play hard and lose, but still I
(11:14):
think moral victories at this stage of the season do
mean something. I think if you can compete and you
could build some confidence off this game tonight, you don't
even have the whole team together, you could play good
against the Thunder. Yeah, it says a lot. You know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's interesting because remember when the Nuggets won a couple
of years ago, and we were all very much on
board with Man, the Nuggets look like they could win
a few in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
They seemed pretty unstoppable. Yeah, they're eight and two now.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, anytime you'll Kiches on the team, you're gonna
compete at a high level. Much like any sport, not
easy to repeat, which is why the Dodgers got so
much credit this year running it back and find in
a way to win in seven games. Right, are you
looking at an OKAYC team that's eleven and one sort
of picking up with the left off.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They're so young too. That's the thing that they're young
and fresh and.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Say eleven it's youth and chemistry. Man, they got it all.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I mean, you gotta say, the biggest obstacles could could
be if Wemby Fox and the Spurs really click, or
if Denver finds their way back there or Danny g
I would imagine your Lakers of the other team you
would argue in the West, that could give them problems.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So what are you expecting tonight?
Speaker 8 (12:25):
You know, finally, I shouldn't say finally because he just
missed three games, but Austin reeves back from the groin injury.
So we get the dynamic duo, the new dynamic duo.
They're the only two dudes together scoring thirty plus points
this season so.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Far, and they look like they're having fun doing it
a lot of yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
You saw them inspecting the court to see him through
the longest bucket in one of them was like almost
a full court shot. And yeah, they're having fun doing this.
And then the question remains, and we talked about this
a little bit last week. How is the chemistry gonna
work when bron comes back onto the court.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You know, I emphasize morale and clubhouse guys and locker
room guys, probably too much because I feel like, just
when I.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're a guy. You know the reason we have fun
at Fox, and I think the reason we do well.
And we took this to afternoons. There wasn't room for
Cavino and Rich. We made room here on Fox Sports
Radio because we were having so much fun. And I
think that only happened because of the vibe and the
people we work with, and that brings out the best
in you. You're a vibe. If there's someone here, let's
(13:31):
say Iowa Sam is sick, and someone else that we
don't know that well is in right, the ViBe's a
little different. And Rich is a vibe guy. And that's
how it works sometimes, not only in broadcasting, but at
the office and.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
On the court, when I play even Rex Sports, Yeah,
I'm a vibe guy. So when I see the Lakers
and Reeves and Luca looking like they're really enjoying each
other's company, and when a team looks like they're having fun,
I know that that sounds like, oh, Rich, that's just
one layer of it. But I feel like that's a
very important layer. Many teams, you hear so many teams
(14:07):
that go further talk about that intangible like, yo, we
actually like each other. We eat together on the road,
our wives hang out like we we just enjoy each other.
And I've always been a big fan of like There's
a reason why we push to have Io Sam come
with us when we do mornings filling in for Dan
and Danny g. We want to make sure he was
part of it. We wanted to make sure Spot came
(14:29):
with us wherever we went because we've worked with him
for years. I think creating that atmosphere is the only
way to beat I'm being serious, the only way to
beat Oklahoma City with that young team that just seems
so talented.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's gonna have to be a team that's just clicking
and has that clicking and his trust in each other, right, Because.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I don't think you're gonna out talent and out hustle
the Oklahoma City Thunder. They're too young and good and they,
if anything, they got better from last year.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They're eleven and one. This team could for all we know,
they can.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They can make a little run top three record of
all time in NBA regular season history. They don't look
like they want to ever lose, So to beat them,
talent is gonna have to be just a layer of it.
It's gonna have to be camaraderie and teammates.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So I'll root for that tonight. I'm stoked to see
the Lakers compete and look, it's Wednesday night. I'm sitting
home watching Frankenstein. So if you got nothing else to watch,
if you're not watching this, then we're to hell you.
Ah yeah, Enrich.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
The other guy who has great chemistry with this current
crew is DeAndre Ayton, and there were a lot of
question marks about him joining the team because he's had
some ups, a lot of downs in the NBA so far,
lack of effort that fingers usually pointed at him. But
he seems to be loving playing with Luca. Luca is
special when he gets around bigs with the alley oops,
(15:46):
the nice passes. I mean, don't forget that. Not only
is Luca an elite scorer, but his rebounds and assists
are off the hook right now.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Bro, you know it's so understated, and I get it.
Talent's gonna Talent is the most important thing, don't get
me wrong. But can you know, think about at the
workplace when you're playing rex sports, anything you do, a
family gathering you've talked about, like, you know, you go
meet some new girls family and if there's like no
music playing, you're hearing the knives and forks on the plate.
(16:15):
You're like Oh my god, I don't want to hang
with these people.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's just speaking of music, you could have a room
of the greatest musicians. If they're not vibing, they're not
making any hits. Yeah, right, So I just I just
look at it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm very curious to see how Lebron clicks when he
comes back with this team that seems like between eight
and Luca and Reeves, they actually seem like they're having
fun together. If Lebron could bring that smile and that
you know, goat mentality that he's one of the best
ever to that team and work with them, Lakers could
(16:46):
be dangerous. I really think that way, because we've all
seen that coworker that's talented, you know. But if they're
like not cool to be around, or they're not vibing
with everyone, it doesn't matter how good they are.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
They're they're they're killing it. Bronnie jameson tonight, Danny g
not that I know, no, right, he's still out. That's
kind of weak, all right. So I think we got
some contestants, maybe got a winner Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.

a CNR on FSR Turbo Football.

Before we get to midwek Major, I want to tell
Charles Barkley that two things. A. He was my favorite
NBA player of the nineties. I was always a big
sir Charles fan. Loved him as a sixer, even more
as a Phoenix Sun. I always loved Charles Barkley, love
him on his commentating Now.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
You loved his song Crazy And I was like, that's
not him, dude, that's NARLS Barkley.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Oh yeah, that's it, which is like, and he was
a great singer. I was like, no, he's not. You
guys are terrible. You're terrible, terrible. You guys are terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You know I have I have a fun fact about
Narls Barkley in a second.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, it's okay, man, We're good. No, I'm gonna give
it to you. I don't know what to say. Yo,
we're really good. We got Midweek Major at the time.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I want you know what all you guys, I'm gonna
tell you, I disagree with Charles Barkley because when I'm
down here in South Texas, San Antonio, Austin area, he
always says the women are a bunch of tortas and
he doesn't like the women I feel like down here,
I was Sam, and tell all your single friends. I
told Shay, one of the producers, go to Texas. Everyone's
it's like hot blonde and gorgeous Latino women. It's like
(21:42):
it's like sign up. Everyone is ridiculously good looking down here.
But Narls Barkley that song Crazy from the two thousands.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
So see, so man I brought this up? Is this
like a did you get this on a calendar? Like
Narls Barkley fun Factor of the day.

And guess where they met? The University of Georgia. They
were playing an event for the Bulldogs college football and
they said, oh, we like each other, let's work together.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
And they made that song. So see it ties into
college football, you bozos. Great story Live from Fox Sports Radio.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers

Ship fast and free back my free road has a

rack dot Com. The wait tire buying should be Are
(22:30):
you ready, Dicky Davis? Yeah, I write it here.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I rather see the story of Selo Green and Danger
Mouse than Christy Martin.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
But go on, Today's time for Spotty's mid Week Major.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the
week where mid Week Major Major.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids say.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
That's summit.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
We definitely patree our score Midweek Major.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Yeah, let's go quickly. Coveno threw me off.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Because you're pop locking you better and you were better
off just sticking with the full intro.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I know, man, all right.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Well, and the other thing that has thrown us off today,
Rich is in Texas. We normally throw those two big
red love dice on the floor in there.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh, Richie didn't pull one on the plane with you, man.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Extra forty dollars for a love dice? Carry on, all right?
So number one through ten Coveno.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Uh should I shout it? Yeah? For six?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Rich whoever comes closest, Gary Carter, Steve Young number eight.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
It's just hit seven six seven, Yeah, it's that six eight,
you bozo.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The numbers three.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Coveno gets to go first out and the ladies and gentlemen,
the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains
New Jersey Spotty Boy.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
I don't even know to begin, but you know what,
we will start with the Christie movie since we've been
talking about it.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You just mentioned it now.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
People of course backlash coming off of that from the
poor box office performance. Well, jumping in fellow actress Ruby Rose.
I don't know if you're familiar with her. She was
on Orange is the New Black and the John Wick movies.
So she went on a ran on social media platform
threads saying that the original script was incredible in life
changing and that she was actually slated to play Christy
(24:28):
Martin in the film. She said that, you know, it
was a great script. Everyone involved with the project was gay,
because she's also gay and Christy Martin gay as well,
and saying that for her, for City Sweeney's pr to
say that the flop, the flop had to do with
she was just doing it for the people, as horrible,
(24:48):
she called a recruitant.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
She said that Christy Martin deserves better.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
As you know, the movie only pulled in one point
three million dollars at the box office this weekend, and
if it holds it that to be the worst movie
opening in movie history midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
It's turning out to be a major story because the
story of how bad it's doing is actually becoming bigger
than the story of Christy Martin. Everybody's talking about it today,
and Rich and I, you and I have been debating
it all day long. I am team team Sidney Sweeney
all the way. She said that sometimes art is about
(25:25):
isn't about the numbers, It's about the impact. And his
story was to be impactful and motivational and it was
supposed to inspire women because that's what Christy Martin's story was.
So to focus on the numbers here is a little
a little tone deaf, because this is a story about
overcoming unfortunately, you know, it sometimes is a numbers game.
(25:46):
But I feel like Ruby Rose, let's tie it back
to boxing. When it comes to bullying. You can't you
punch up, you can't punch down, as they say, And
I feel like Ruby Rose has to punch up at
Sidney Sweeney, because who really cares about Ruby Rose. Everybody's
talking about Sidney Sweeney. She's the it girl. So that's
how you want to get your name in the news.
You want to attack someone more famous than you. I
(26:08):
think it's major gotten that room.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Major only guts of the magnitude of the people involved.
To quote James Franco and remember the movie the interview, don't.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Be so peanut butter and jealous.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, it's like like if Ruby Rose was in it, it
would make one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I just think the content was made for Netflix or
HBO Max or something like that. I don't think anyone
was seeing a Christy Martin movie expecting big money. H
Ruby Rose, Ruby Rose, Uh, listen, she's she's the hot,
short haired lesbian that spot pointed out. She's Sidney Sweeney's gorgeous.
They're both good looking. That's not the qu I don't
know what the debate is here, Like she thinks if
(26:44):
she played.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Dude, So she's like she's sort of hitting below the
bell another boxing pun. Maybe she's lurting. She's hitting below
the bell when Sidney Sweeney just did her best to
pray Christy Martin. She does her story gave her the endorsement.
Who cares? What Ruby Rose says, Well, yep, we have
him a wrestling out.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Sorry, I had to look up what a Cretan is.
It sounds like something from an evangelical pastor. Well it's
just stupid person. Well yeah, but it has to reference
for people from the islands of an esther called Fred Stanford.
I'm pretty sure because you guys pay anyone pay attention
in school.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
All right, Mike Tyson, as we know, his next big
opponent slated to be Floyd Mayweather fighting next month and
our next year in an exhibition. Well he's revealed actually
his latest opponent, and that's toe fungus. So Tyson made
an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show and discussed his habit
that he used to fight without socks, saying that it
(27:45):
was done strictly for the fashion. He said that it
was hardcore and intimidating to fight without socks. Well, he
said that it led to a quote disintegrating dose of
foot fungus and it was really bad and it's still
really bad. So even joked about uh turning it into
its sponsorship with the product Desinex, and he said, it
(28:05):
can't help me. My toes look like they blew up.
So his toes are disgusting and in bad condition.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Well, you know what happened your your feet is major
because your feet could burst into flames. And that's why
John Madden always endorsed because you don't watch. Remember they
go on fire. Yeah, the shower.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Then there's flames coming out of the feet in the
shower because they were so itchy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Spot you're an expert in hongo foot.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
I did have a Yeah, I've had a bit of
a foot fungus, but I went to the doctor, took
care of it. You know what in today's world, here's
the deal, and she get antib adicts.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You remember I had the hongo foot. That's why I
went anytwhear with facts hongo foot. It seems like like
the Livvy Done. Remember when Livy Done was caught out
there with sweaty armpits and then she got an endorsement.
The more Mike Tyson owns his foot fungus, the more
he's open to endorsements, and he's probably making money as
a result. So it seems to be a blueprint for
(28:57):
money nowadays. Yeah, so spot, you might as well talk
about your hadroids. Maybe someone will sponsor you. Oh sure, absolutely,
you know right now.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I mean, I think it's mad because a lot of
people have foot funcus because it's Mike Tyson, and anything
about Mike Tyson's interesting to act intenact.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Can you know it's so funny? I wrote that exactly,
said an.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
With all my serial killers scratch a barkings. Today on
my page, I wrote Libby Dunn's armpits. When you're popular,
like Libby Dunn or Mike Tyson, you could turn, as
you say, turned dilemmas into dilemonade. And you know what,
Mike Tyson don't need the money, but he can probably
get a sweet toe Fungus endorsement deal.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, I bet you knock out your toefunk. It's with
Hango foot Mike Tython endorsed like whatever it is. Whatever, yeah,
whatever product it is, he'd be the spokesman. He is
the spokesman. Congrats all right, NBA.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Over to the NBA, they officially announced their plans and
format for the upcoming NBA All Star Game. I know
we teased it in the past, but they made the
official noun yesterday which is set set to take place
at LA's and two at Dome on February fifteenth. So
rather than being divided into conferences Eastern and Western Conference,
they're going to be going international. So there will be
(30:12):
two teams consisting of American stars and one international team
that will compete in a round robin tournament consisting of
four to twelve minute games. After the first three games,
the two teams with the best record will face for
the championship. This apparently has been in talks for years
to move to this format, but as you remember, with
the success of NHL's Fourth Nations Face Off, it was
(30:34):
a bit of a catalyst pushing this forward. Picking teams
will remain the same position decks initiate Nations will no
longer be a factor. Starters determined by voting from fans.
Other players and media fans think it's a horrible idea.
They've been hating the All Star Game in the past
few years and think it's only going to get worse.
And the biggest, the funniest thing is they're like, the
(30:55):
international team is going to kick the American team's ass
because the Internet think about the international team Giannis Jokic, Sga,
Luca and Wemby. So put those five guys on a team.
American teams do not stay in a chance midweek major. Oh,
this is major.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Major. You said it with hockey, it worked, it was great.
You got the World Baseball Classic, you got football trying
to become an international sport. They were just in Germany
and had a great turnout and a great game soccer
and fighting. Obviously international sports. Basketball's been there, and now
it's time to own it and lean into it. And
it's time for the Americans to step up and reclaim
(31:33):
their game. Man. And I think that's so cool. I
love when the nations, when nation pride is involved, you're
you're more passionate about it, and it only helps the
NBA in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yeah, well I'd rather watch Christy Okay, No, I think
this is great.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I will say the spot nailed it. I think it's
major gofinroom major.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
When you go back to the Dream Team and what
Michael Jordan, Metric Johnson, Charles Barkley, that Larry Bird, what
they did globally for the game Christian Ladies is Christian
Lader is uncomparable. But look at what it's done. It's
now made the international team far superior. Would Spot name
those people, SGA, Luca Wemby.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
That team is gonna whoop the American team.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So, like you're right, it's time for the US to
try to put together their team.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I think it's worth watching. I think it's cool. Okay,
it's very cool. Thanks guys, Thanks Bob, great stuff man,
great story, Spotty boy. Over to the man, Dan Byer
take it away.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
All right, Oh you b b B.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I gotta ask dB, how do you feel about your
Seahawks against the Rams this weekend. That's a big game,
both seven and two. Someone's trying to get first place there, buddy.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Boy, Yeah, I if you're asking, I think they're gonna win.
I think they have an opportunity. But I just I
want to see them play against the team that I
think is the best in the NFL right now. So
I think it's just a good measuring stick. I'm not
so much concerned about the win and loss, although it
would be really nice to get a win.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
It's not like so far won't have Seahawks fans cheering.
Are you gonna try to go where you're busy this weekend?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I have my show on Sundays that Cavino knows about
five Eastern two Pacific, Rich Davis, Remember you guys always
turn it on when you guys are gathering at Rich's
house during the late games. You turn down the TV
and you play the show that carry Roads, and I
do so if you.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Do, you know, guy, I get it. Man.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Rams are three and a half point favorites, but I
sort of like your Seahawks to you know, put up
a fight this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
That's a good game.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
How about this late window. I'm curious to see your
big screen TV. But you got well, you guys are
gonna be at the game, so it's not gonna matter.
But Cardinals, Niners, Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, Broncos, and then Ravens Browns.
So that's your late window coming up in week eleven.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Pretty good stuff. Pretty good. Thank you dB, Thanks guys,
Thanks Dan. All Right, so Rich, we still have a
few things to get to. I don't know if you
want to talk about overrated? How about to choose your
adventure overrated? Jordan Love? Do you want to talk about
Skeens being a Yankee stop knowing? Or do you want
to talk about Berner account? No, Skeens being a Yankee
would make me want to throw up, so I want
to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Let's talk about Jordan Love a little NFL labeling people
too soon, We'll get to it next.
Speaker 1 (35:45):

(36:51):
know you're very excited to see me, wait up tomorrow, Uh,
should I download the Eddie Murphy doc that it dropped
today on Netflix if people want a little something to watch.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
And yeah, I'm gonna watch that. But the a Rod
one is also really intriguing. I think new episode, no
new episode, I think it's tomorrow and that's on HBO Max.
But episode one is out and you get some great
insight on what makes him tick, his relationship with his dad,
you know, insight from his ex wife again about how
(37:21):
he's emotionally stunted, and you just see what a Rod
was like growing up. Really intriguing figure, So check that
out too, or I mentioned Frankenstein. Guermo del Toro's Frankenstein's
on Netflix actually pretty decent so far. I didn't finish
frank I rather with Giermo from Jimmy Kimmel. Okay, exciting.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
Also, if you're a basketball fan, there is a great
new Alan Iverson documentary that just dropped.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Oh wow, okay, yeah, there's always something great I.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Get nowadays in sports it feels like if you're awesome,
like you sort of get a cool documentary. That's gotta
be a cool feeling. Players, not like, yeah, one day
to be a great doc about my life.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I mean, I've watched them all, so I guess there's
money to be made, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Well, before before we get out of here, I know
that you had a problem with people saying Jordan love
who are we realizing he's overrated? And I just think
that you said it before, and I'll back up. You
said that we are so quick, like everyone wants to
label everything, and I get it's part of the sports
media game and the politics game. People love to label, label, label,
(38:30):
you know, people in society love to label everything who
they are, what they are, but then at the same
time they don't want to be labeled. It's it's a
very interesting thing. Jordan loves a young man, a young
man in life, a young man on the field. How
could you when you see what happens with Sam Darnold
and Baker Mayfield and guys that were like at the
bottom in front of the back Hall of famers who
(38:50):
had just a few off years. Peyton Manning in his
third or fourth year wasn't all that stellar. I mean,
some quarterbacks with Hall of Fame careers got off to
terrible starts.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
His story's not written. People need to stop with it.
I just think it's something that we need. It's like
bs sort of conversation. It's like Josh Allen's overrated, or
maybe it's as simple as he's just not having the
best year. For all we know, he still might win
the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
But I guess who guess who's won super Bowls with
like they're not spectacular number of years. I don't know
a guy named Patrick Mahomes, right, I mean, guys don't
always win during their best offensive statistical years. And we're
also way exaggerating because right now, Jordan Love, I know,
we're at the halfway point. Last year, he had twenty
five Tuddies eleven picks. Right now thirteen and three with
(39:36):
a better quarterback rating, we're making it say like the
Packers are under five hundred and they're under delivering. If anything,
like Matt Lafleur seems to be the one that people
are like, what is Matt laflor not delivering? Jordan Love's
twenty seven years old, dude, Bakersfield, California kid in his
third real full season as quarterback. So with that said,
we're talking about a guy who's in season three and we've.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Seen his potential, right, So that's that's it. Like, it's
not like we don't know he's good, he's just not
having a decent year. He's having a decent year, and.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
He's starting off this season hot, remember, and then we
were hearing the narrative, Oh see, he's taken another step
forward and now suddenly a few games later he's overrated.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
People love to say that, and again this is according
to bleacher Report, and then that starts to create some
buzz and then people run with that narrative.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Look a look at that division. The Lions are six
and three, the Bears are six and three, the Packers
are five three and one. Is that one lay mass
tie against the I think gets some cowboys that have
it off kilter, But the reality is they're right there.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
They're half a.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Game out of the division and they still have the
visional games. So for all we know, Packers are a
home team, playoff team, and we're we're gonna just forget
the stupid conversation ever exist.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
We'll just a label crazy culture and this is more
proof of that. All right, So we'll see Rich back
in La tomorrow. All right, are web therect you baby,
see you in the Promise Land, and let you guys

While you're at it, search Covino and Rich. We be
(01:05):
rocking out, so we got to wrap up this Gronk conversation.
But the big news today is Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul
still in the works. We talked about it first hour.
I want to say again, the more I think about it,
Jake Paul has no shot. However, everybody has a fighter's chance.
It's just is it beneath Anthony Joshua. We got to
(01:26):
see what the money's all about and what happens and
in the world of fighting Rich, I just got to say,
shame on everybody for downplaying the significance of Christy Martin
because no one's going to see that movie. And Sydney
Sweeney put all her heart and soul into this project
and nobody cares. And it's a big story. And there's
a lot of boneheads out there like Rich who were
(01:47):
downplaying her significance. And I was like, dude, I heard
of her, Dude, Well that's on you. She was a
dominant female boxer in the Mike Tyson era, fighting on
those pay per views and breaking through in female boxing.
Pioneer man, she was the best there was out there,
so I understand it's just her fame didn't transcend. But
it's like some Wheeler who the fabulous Mulah. Get at him,
(02:11):
Get out of my face, Get out of my face.
That's like saying Pacman wasn't popular because you don't see
him today, you know what I mean? Like she was
popular back then, her fame just didn't transcend into the
day's world. It's like saying Ronda Ralsi wasn't big thirty
years from now. It's like, yeah, she was, Doug.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yo, don't you say something so asinine? As Ronda Rausi
and Christy Martin in the same conversation, I.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Never said Christy Martin's asses a nine, But Sidney Sweeney
not too shabby? No, I said, Asinine? Oh, Asenine? What
is that? Just kidding? I'm joking. God, you know, just
because you're ignorant of her career don't know who she was,
doesn't make the fact that she was a prominent figure
in the world of boxing not true. She was guess what, pally.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Her story hasn't really been told, so maybe Sidney Sweeney
is the person to do it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But go around the studio.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If I'm the only ass clown, and then call me
the club. But Sam, Danny g Dan Bayer, were you
that familiar with the career in life of Christy Martin
before you found out Sidney Sweeney was doing a movie.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's like saying, you don't remember Butterbean. Butterbean was a
big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, I actually do. And I'm not saying this because
of the Cavino guy. But she was the only female boxer.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
She was the only one that anyone cared about, and
women were like, damn, man, this girl kicks ass. I
remember the female American Gladiators more well. I remember I
was a big fan of Blaze myself.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I remember the Glow. I remember the gorgeous ladies of wrestling.
I watched Glow wrestling as.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You also the biggest bonehead here. You are making fun
of Gronkowski. You you think that just anything that you
know is fact, and that's it. Anything that happened before
you or your knowledge didn't count or never happened. That
doesn't make it true. That's a good point, but that
doesn't make it true. So anyway, that's also a big
story that Rich and I were fighting about on our
(03:53):
Patreon early today. But since boxing's in the news with
Anthony Joshua, wanted to bring that up. Iowa, Sam, what's up?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I have three takes must make I'm just champion at
the bit here, I only knew about butter Bean through Jackass.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Gotta be honest, he was guessing you're also a little younger, Sam, Yeah,
you're in your thirties. Dude, apparently done almost done with that.
And then also you said the Asac joke. That's I
think that's an old Jeff fox Worth the Blue Collar
Comedy tour? Are you calling me a Carlos smithcia? I
just remember him saying a foreigner. Now, I don't know,
(04:27):
I don't follow blue collar comedy. This is an old
joke from that tour.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
But I want to say that I read an article
about this movie that this the company that was in
charge of distributing and kind of promoting it just did
not do a good job of letting people know hello.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And she was part of a giant controversy with the
stupid genie, so that overshadowed it.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Also, the company that was supposed to advertise it and
promote it did not do a great job.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And uh, let me let me ask you this. I
said this to Rich, I said, what Jake Lamatta everyone
was so well versed in Jake Lamada. No, but Raging
Bow was still a great movie, you know, and Robert
de Niro is in it. A good movie is gonna
be a good movie. Maybe it's not that good of
a movie. I don't know, but her story and her
legitimacy in boxing should not be under line.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
And also one more thing, you guys, I only knew
about her because you guys had been tipped off that
she was going to be in this movie. It was
in the works, and so we started talking about her.
I didn't know who she was, but I also didn't
know who like the guy in Cinderella Man was, And
that's a great movie.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
James, I said to me, Broaderick, what's James? Uh? What
the hell's his name? He did the he built the
Goffels Bridge. Why am I trying? Oh, Matthew Broderick, No, James,
that hell's his name? James Braddock. James Braddock. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
And so like, you don't have to know about these
people j brad from the history books. But if you,
if a movie tells you about it, that's the whole
point of the movie.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, Rich is like Rich's stances. Nobody knows her. What
do you know about Jake Lamata? What did you know
about James J. Braddick? Nothing, absolutely nothing. So that's not it.
It's bad publicity, and it's the fact that she got
bad press and no one promoted this enough.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Hey, bang your head against the wall and maybe you'll
clear up some of those coblips or something that's going on.
Because I said to you earlier today, I'll say it again.
If this movie was on Netflix, you know HBO max
If who was on Prime. It's a great like, oh,
documentary about a female boxer. I might not know that
much about, Oh, Sidney Sweeney and those you know her speedbags.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'm watching, you said, you said because nobody knows Christy Martin,
because you actually what you said, because you don't know
Christy Martin. You and you think you're the b all
end All because you didn't know her. That's why nobody cares.
And I'm telling you I watched a movie about Frankenstein
last night. You think I care about Frankenstein? Since when
is that the reason you watch something? What do you
(06:42):
watch about Frankenstin? There's so many good shows on you.
There's new movie on Netflix. It's actually pretty good. Well,
you know, I'm about to fly home tonight anyway, frankenst
is a gear Mode del tour. Yeah, I think so.
It's really good. Yeah, but I'll tell you what, I
don't want to harp too much on it because we
still got to talk Gronkowski and our guy Mike is here.
Our guy Mike is here. He's a busy guy. He
(07:04):
don't have time to waste and he wants to drop
some wisdom on Hold on, Mike. Mike's a guy that
knows a lot. Who you know, Big Micro runs his
place there. He is everybody watched and thinks we have
Rick from Pond stars on.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I tell you you know, Mike, our buddy Shay at
Fox Sports Radio. He was hanging on our Patreon the
other day and we brought up Peter Peter Gammons looking
like Philip Drummond from of course Different Strokes, and he
didn't know the story, like see.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The little guy that you know. Gary Coleman goes, yeah,
I've heard of him.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I go, you know, he's famously known for sea blocking
Big Mike, Mike, do you know the Do you know
much about Christy Martin before the stock Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Actually I was way into Christy Martin back in the
end of the day. She was a trail blazer and
absolutely in the news. I knew all about her.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
She was on the cover of magazines. She was everywhere.
She was the girl except you know that story sort
of fizzled when the eighties went away.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, you and Kevino could go together cut a hole
in the popcorn box for all I care.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
All Right, Well, hey, just because you don't know it
doesn't make it true.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
We're not a Saturday night life skit.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, okay, And if you don't know, how about you
go and watch and learn something reaching a box over here,
so you know what I mean. Anyway, your thoughts at
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Now is your chance.
We do this every Wednesday, your chance to take home
some seeing our goodies. Some prizes are nerf CNR on
FSR turbo football and if you could repeat Mike's Wednesday
(08:34):
words of wisdom verbatim, you win.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
These turbo footballs, I feel like they're the type where,
you know, like back of the day when your kid,
you're like you, I could throw this seventy yards.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's a nice one. Yeah. This one has a nice
grip and nice weight to it. So all right, Mike,
it's all you. It's time for the guy that runs
this place.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Just for clarification, guys, big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power of really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
It's big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Sports do not build character, They reveal it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Man, that's an easy breezy wow. No repeats, no repeats
on that one. If you can't repeat that verbatim, you're bonehead. Yeah,
it's one of my favorite of all time. That's a
good one, tho.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Absolutely one of my favorite of all time, being a
sports fan, always played sports my whole life growing up.
It's it's so true it hurts.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Hey, Mike, can you feel about Damn Bayer adamantly denying
you run this place?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I don't think we need to get into the issues
between me and Dan Bayer right now.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
We've been we've been working together for decades, literally decades.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
I watched you know that, Mike, the minute we brought
that up. Yeah, Mike runs this place. Dan was the
quickest to shoot.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
That does not surprise absolutely does not surprise me at all.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There's a long history there, so that's why he did
not hesitate.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You guys, walk in all new and stuff, and I
like that he must be the guy that runs things.
And I blame both of you actually for for perpetuating
this lie.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's become a thing. Dan, I refuse to dignify.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I have that with the response.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You know, I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with the
story for all right. So the number is eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. If you think you could
repeat that verbatim, if you want a chance to win
a nerve football, it's a great stocking stuffer your chance
to win right now? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
It's Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
No cove, you're gonna be watching tonight. A big test
for the Lakers. Let's talk a little NBA Lakers, Okase,
I know it's early, Lebron's not even back yet, but
is this a Is this a great early season litmus
test for Danny G's Lakers.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I think the answer is obvious. Yes, yeah, absolutely, See
where they stand, See how good they play against the
former champs. I mean absolutely, Like we talked about before
with Jake Paul, if he could beat even contend with
an Anthony Joshua, it puts you in a different level
so you could play hard and lose, but still I
(11:14):
think moral victories at this stage of the season do
mean something. I think if you can compete and you
could build some confidence off this game tonight, you don't
even have the whole team together, you could play good
against the Thunder. Yeah, it says a lot. You know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It's interesting because remember when the Nuggets won a couple
of years ago, and we were all very much on
board with Man, the Nuggets look like they could win
a few in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
They seemed pretty unstoppable. Yeah, they're eight and two now.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, anytime you'll Kiches on the team, you're gonna
compete at a high level. Much like any sport, not
easy to repeat, which is why the Dodgers got so
much credit this year running it back and find in
a way to win in seven games. Right, are you
looking at an OKAYC team that's eleven and one sort
of picking up with the left off.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They're so young too. That's the thing that they're young
and fresh and.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Say eleven it's youth and chemistry. Man, they got it all.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I mean, you gotta say, the biggest obstacles could could
be if Wemby Fox and the Spurs really click, or
if Denver finds their way back there or Danny g
I would imagine your Lakers of the other team you
would argue in the West, that could give them problems.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So what are you expecting tonight?
Speaker 8 (12:25):
You know, finally, I shouldn't say finally because he just
missed three games, but Austin reeves back from the groin injury.
So we get the dynamic duo, the new dynamic duo.
They're the only two dudes together scoring thirty plus points
this season so.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Far, and they look like they're having fun doing it
a lot of yeah, a lot of fun.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
You saw them inspecting the court to see him through
the longest bucket in one of them was like almost
a full court shot. And yeah, they're having fun doing this.
And then the question remains, and we talked about this
a little bit last week. How is the chemistry gonna
work when bron comes back onto the court.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You know, I emphasize morale and clubhouse guys and locker
room guys, probably too much because I feel like, just
when I.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're a guy. You know the reason we have fun
at Fox, and I think the reason we do well.
And we took this to afternoons. There wasn't room for
Cavino and Rich. We made room here on Fox Sports
Radio because we were having so much fun. And I
think that only happened because of the vibe and the
people we work with, and that brings out the best
in you. You're a vibe. If there's someone here, let's
(13:31):
say Iowa Sam is sick, and someone else that we
don't know that well is in right, the ViBe's a
little different. And Rich is a vibe guy. And that's
how it works sometimes, not only in broadcasting, but at
the office and.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
On the court, when I play even Rex Sports, Yeah,
I'm a vibe guy. So when I see the Lakers
and Reeves and Luca looking like they're really enjoying each
other's company, and when a team looks like they're having fun,
I know that that sounds like, oh, Rich, that's just
one layer of it. But I feel like that's a
very important layer. Many teams, you hear so many teams
(14:07):
that go further talk about that intangible like, yo, we
actually like each other. We eat together on the road,
our wives hang out like we we just enjoy each other.
And I've always been a big fan of like There's
a reason why we push to have Io Sam come
with us when we do mornings filling in for Dan
and Danny g. We want to make sure he was
part of it. We wanted to make sure Spot came
(14:29):
with us wherever we went because we've worked with him
for years. I think creating that atmosphere is the only
way to beat I'm being serious, the only way to
beat Oklahoma City with that young team that just seems
so talented.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It's gonna have to be a team that's just clicking
and has that clicking and his trust in each other, right, Because.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I don't think you're gonna out talent and out hustle
the Oklahoma City Thunder. They're too young and good and they,
if anything, they got better from last year.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They're eleven and one. This team could for all we know,
they can.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They can make a little run top three record of
all time in NBA regular season history. They don't look
like they want to ever lose, So to beat them,
talent is gonna have to be just a layer of it.
It's gonna have to be camaraderie and teammates.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So I'll root for that tonight. I'm stoked to see
the Lakers compete and look, it's Wednesday night. I'm sitting
home watching Frankenstein. So if you got nothing else to watch,
if you're not watching this, then we're to hell you.
Ah yeah, Enrich.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
The other guy who has great chemistry with this current
crew is DeAndre Ayton, and there were a lot of
question marks about him joining the team because he's had
some ups, a lot of downs in the NBA so far,
lack of effort that fingers usually pointed at him. But
he seems to be loving playing with Luca. Luca is
special when he gets around bigs with the alley oops,
(15:46):
the nice passes. I mean, don't forget that. Not only
is Luca an elite scorer, but his rebounds and assists
are off the hook right now.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Bro, you know it's so understated, and I get it.
Talent's gonna Talent is the most important thing, don't get
me wrong. But can you know, think about at the
workplace when you're playing rex sports, anything you do, a
family gathering you've talked about, like, you know, you go
meet some new girls family and if there's like no
music playing, you're hearing the knives and forks on the plate.
(16:15):
You're like Oh my god, I don't want to hang
with these people.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's just speaking of music, you could have a room
of the greatest musicians. If they're not vibing, they're not
making any hits. Yeah, right, So I just I just
look at it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I'm very curious to see how Lebron clicks when he
comes back with this team that seems like between eight
and Luca and Reeves, they actually seem like they're having
fun together. If Lebron could bring that smile and that
you know, goat mentality that he's one of the best
ever to that team and work with them, Lakers could
(16:46):
be dangerous. I really think that way, because we've all
seen that coworker that's talented, you know. But if they're
like not cool to be around, or they're not vibing
with everyone, it doesn't matter how good they are.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
They're they're they're killing it. Bronnie jameson tonight, Danny g
not that I know, no, right, he's still out. That's
kind of weak, all right. So I think we got
some contestants, maybe got a winner Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.

a CNR on FSR Turbo Football.

Before we get to midwek Major, I want to tell
Charles Barkley that two things. A. He was my favorite
NBA player of the nineties. I was always a big
sir Charles fan. Loved him as a sixer, even more
as a Phoenix Sun. I always loved Charles Barkley, love
him on his commentating Now.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
You loved his song Crazy And I was like, that's
not him, dude, that's NARLS Barkley.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Oh yeah, that's it, which is like, and he was
a great singer. I was like, no, he's not. You
guys are terrible. You're terrible, terrible. You guys are terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You know I have I have a fun fact about
Narls Barkley in a second.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, it's okay, man, We're good. No, I'm gonna give
it to you. I don't know what to say. Yo,
we're really good. We got Midweek Major at the time.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I want you know what all you guys, I'm gonna
tell you, I disagree with Charles Barkley because when I'm
down here in South Texas, San Antonio, Austin area, he
always says the women are a bunch of tortas and
he doesn't like the women I feel like down here,
I was Sam, and tell all your single friends. I
told Shay, one of the producers, go to Texas. Everyone's
it's like hot blonde and gorgeous Latino women. It's like
(21:42):
it's like sign up. Everyone is ridiculously good looking down here.
But Narls Barkley that song Crazy from the two thousands.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
So see, so man I brought this up? Is this
like a did you get this on a calendar? Like
Narls Barkley fun Factor of the day.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Narls Barkley, You Nimrods is Seelo Green and Danger Mouse
And guess where they met? The University of Georgia. They
were playing an event for the Bulldogs college football and
they said, oh, we like each other, let's work together.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
And they made that song. So see it ties into
college football, you bozos. Great story Live from Fox Sports Radio.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers

Ship fast and free back my free road has a

rack dot Com. The wait tire buying should be Are
(22:30):
you ready, Dicky Davis? Yeah, I write it here.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I rather see the story of Selo Green and Danger
Mouse than Christy Martin.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
But go on, Today's time for Spotty's mid Week Major.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the
week where mid Week Major Major.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids say.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
That's summit.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
We definitely patree our score Midweek Major.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Yeah, let's go quickly. Coveno threw me off.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Because you're pop locking you better and you were better
off just sticking with the full intro.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I know, man, all right.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Well, and the other thing that has thrown us off today,
Rich is in Texas. We normally throw those two big
red love dice on the floor in there.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh, Richie didn't pull one on the plane with you, man.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Extra forty dollars for a love dice? Carry on, all right?
So number one through ten Coveno.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Uh should I shout it? Yeah? For six?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Rich whoever comes closest, Gary Carter, Steve Young number eight.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
It's just hit seven six seven, Yeah, it's that six eight,
you bozo.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The numbers three.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Coveno gets to go first out and the ladies and gentlemen,
the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains
New Jersey Spotty Boy.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
I don't even know to begin, but you know what,
we will start with the Christie movie since we've been
talking about it.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You just mentioned it now.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
People of course backlash coming off of that from the
poor box office performance. Well, jumping in fellow actress Ruby Rose.
I don't know if you're familiar with her. She was
on Orange is the New Black and the John Wick movies.
So she went on a ran on social media platform
threads saying that the original script was incredible in life
changing and that she was actually slated to play Christy
(24:28):
Martin in the film. She said that, you know, it
was a great script. Everyone involved with the project was gay,
because she's also gay and Christy Martin gay as well,
and saying that for her, for City Sweeney's pr to
say that the flop, the flop had to do with
she was just doing it for the people, as horrible,
(24:48):
she called a recruitant.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
She said that Christy Martin deserves better.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
As you know, the movie only pulled in one point
three million dollars at the box office this weekend, and
if it holds it that to be the worst movie
opening in movie history midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
It's turning out to be a major story because the
story of how bad it's doing is actually becoming bigger
than the story of Christy Martin. Everybody's talking about it today,
and Rich and I, you and I have been debating
it all day long. I am team team Sidney Sweeney
all the way. She said that sometimes art is about
(25:25):
isn't about the numbers, It's about the impact. And his
story was to be impactful and motivational and it was
supposed to inspire women because that's what Christy Martin's story was.
So to focus on the numbers here is a little
a little tone deaf, because this is a story about
overcoming unfortunately, you know, it sometimes is a numbers game.
(25:46):
But I feel like Ruby Rose, let's tie it back
to boxing. When it comes to bullying. You can't you
punch up, you can't punch down, as they say, And
I feel like Ruby Rose has to punch up at
Sidney Sweeney, because who really cares about Ruby Rose. Everybody's
talking about Sidney Sweeney. She's the it girl. So that's
how you want to get your name in the news.
You want to attack someone more famous than you. I
(26:08):
think it's major gotten that room.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Major only guts of the magnitude of the people involved.
To quote James Franco and remember the movie the interview, don't.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Be so peanut butter and jealous.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, it's like like if Ruby Rose was in it, it
would make one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I just think the content was made for Netflix or
HBO Max or something like that. I don't think anyone
was seeing a Christy Martin movie expecting big money. H
Ruby Rose, Ruby Rose, Uh, listen, she's she's the hot,
short haired lesbian that spot pointed out. She's Sidney Sweeney's gorgeous.
They're both good looking. That's not the qu I don't
know what the debate is here, Like she thinks if
(26:44):
she played.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Dude, So she's like she's sort of hitting below the
bell another boxing pun. Maybe she's lurting. She's hitting below
the bell when Sidney Sweeney just did her best to
pray Christy Martin. She does her story gave her the endorsement.
Who cares? What Ruby Rose says, Well, yep, we have
him a wrestling out.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Sorry, I had to look up what a Cretan is.
It sounds like something from an evangelical pastor. Well it's
just stupid person. Well yeah, but it has to reference
for people from the islands of an esther called Fred Stanford.
I'm pretty sure because you guys pay anyone pay attention
in school.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
All right, Mike Tyson, as we know, his next big
opponent slated to be Floyd Mayweather fighting next month and
our next year in an exhibition. Well he's revealed actually
his latest opponent, and that's toe fungus. So Tyson made
an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show and discussed his habit
that he used to fight without socks, saying that it
(27:45):
was done strictly for the fashion. He said that it
was hardcore and intimidating to fight without socks. Well, he
said that it led to a quote disintegrating dose of
foot fungus and it was really bad and it's still
really bad. So even joked about uh turning it into
its sponsorship with the product Desinex, and he said, it
(28:05):
can't help me. My toes look like they blew up.
So his toes are disgusting and in bad condition.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Well, you know what happened your your feet is major
because your feet could burst into flames. And that's why
John Madden always endorsed because you don't watch. Remember they
go on fire. Yeah, the shower.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Then there's flames coming out of the feet in the
shower because they were so itchy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Spot you're an expert in hongo foot.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
I did have a Yeah, I've had a bit of
a foot fungus, but I went to the doctor, took
care of it. You know what in today's world, here's
the deal, and she get antib adicts.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You remember I had the hongo foot. That's why I
went anytwhear with facts hongo foot. It seems like like
the Livvy Done. Remember when Livy Done was caught out
there with sweaty armpits and then she got an endorsement.
The more Mike Tyson owns his foot fungus, the more
he's open to endorsements, and he's probably making money as
a result. So it seems to be a blueprint for
(28:57):
money nowadays. Yeah, so spot, you might as well talk
about your hadroids. Maybe someone will sponsor you. Oh sure, absolutely,
you know right now.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I mean, I think it's mad because a lot of
people have foot funcus because it's Mike Tyson, and anything
about Mike Tyson's interesting to act intenact.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Can you know it's so funny? I wrote that exactly,
said an.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
With all my serial killers scratch a barkings. Today on
my page, I wrote Libby Dunn's armpits. When you're popular,
like Libby Dunn or Mike Tyson, you could turn, as
you say, turned dilemmas into dilemonade. And you know what,
Mike Tyson don't need the money, but he can probably
get a sweet toe Fungus endorsement deal.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, I bet you knock out your toefunk. It's with
Hango foot Mike Tython endorsed like whatever it is. Whatever, yeah,
whatever product it is, he'd be the spokesman. He is
the spokesman. Congrats all right, NBA.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Over to the NBA, they officially announced their plans and
format for the upcoming NBA All Star Game. I know
we teased it in the past, but they made the
official noun yesterday which is set set to take place
at LA's and two at Dome on February fifteenth. So
rather than being divided into conferences Eastern and Western Conference,
they're going to be going international. So there will be
(30:12):
two teams consisting of American stars and one international team
that will compete in a round robin tournament consisting of
four to twelve minute games. After the first three games,
the two teams with the best record will face for
the championship. This apparently has been in talks for years
to move to this format, but as you remember, with
the success of NHL's Fourth Nations Face Off, it was
(30:34):
a bit of a catalyst pushing this forward. Picking teams
will remain the same position decks initiate Nations will no
longer be a factor. Starters determined by voting from fans.
Other players and media fans think it's a horrible idea.
They've been hating the All Star Game in the past
few years and think it's only going to get worse.
And the biggest, the funniest thing is they're like, the
(30:55):
international team is going to kick the American team's ass
because the Internet think about the international team Giannis Jokic, Sga,
Luca and Wemby. So put those five guys on a team.
American teams do not stay in a chance midweek major. Oh,
this is major.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Major. You said it with hockey, it worked, it was great.
You got the World Baseball Classic, you got football trying
to become an international sport. They were just in Germany
and had a great turnout and a great game soccer
and fighting. Obviously international sports. Basketball's been there, and now
it's time to own it and lean into it. And
it's time for the Americans to step up and reclaim
(31:33):
their game. Man. And I think that's so cool. I
love when the nations, when nation pride is involved, you're
you're more passionate about it, and it only helps the
NBA in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yeah, well I'd rather watch Christy Okay, No, I think
this is great.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I will say the spot nailed it. I think it's
major gofinroom major.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
When you go back to the Dream Team and what
Michael Jordan, Metric Johnson, Charles Barkley, that Larry Bird, what
they did globally for the game Christian Ladies is Christian
Lader is uncomparable. But look at what it's done. It's
now made the international team far superior. Would Spot name
those people, SGA, Luca Wemby.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
That team is gonna whoop the American team.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So, like you're right, it's time for the US to
try to put together their team.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I think it's worth watching. I think it's cool. Okay,
it's very cool. Thanks guys, Thanks Bob, great stuff man,

All right, Oh you b b B.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I gotta ask dB, how do you feel about your
Seahawks against the Rams this weekend. That's a big game,
both seven and two. Someone's trying to get first place there, buddy.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Boy, Yeah, I if you're asking, I think they're gonna win.
I think they have an opportunity. But I just I
want to see them play against the team that I
think is the best in the NFL right now. So
I think it's just a good measuring stick. I'm not
so much concerned about the win and loss, although it
would be really nice to get a win.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
It's not like so far won't have Seahawks fans cheering.
Are you gonna try to go where you're busy this weekend?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I have my show on Sundays that Cavino knows about
five Eastern two Pacific, Rich Davis, Remember you guys always
turn it on when you guys are gathering at Rich's
house during the late games. You turn down the TV
and you play the show that carry Roads, and I
do so if you.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Do, you know, guy, I get it. Man.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Rams are three and a half point favorites, but I
sort of like your Seahawks to you know, put up
a fight this weekend.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
That's a good game.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
How about this late window. I'm curious to see your
big screen TV. But you got well, you guys are
gonna be at the game, so it's not gonna matter.
But Cardinals, Niners, Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, Broncos, and then Ravens Browns.
So that's your late window coming up in week eleven.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Pretty good stuff. Pretty good. Thank you dB, Thanks guys,
Thanks Dan. All Right, so Rich, we still have a
few things to get to. I don't know if you
want to talk about overrated? How about to choose your
adventure overrated? Jordan Love? Do you want to talk about
Skeens being a Yankee stop knowing? Or do you want
to talk about Berner account? No, Skeens being a Yankee
would make me want to throw up, so I want
to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (35:39):

too soon, We'll get to it next.

should I download the Eddie Murphy doc that it dropped
today on Netflix if people want a little something to watch.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
And yeah, I'm gonna watch that. But the a Rod
one is also really intriguing. I think new episode, no
new episode, I think it's tomorrow and that's on HBO Max.
But episode one is out and you get some great
insight on what makes him tick, his relationship with his dad,
you know, insight from his ex wife again about how
(37:21):
he's emotionally stunted, and you just see what a Rod
was like growing up. Really intriguing figure, So check that
out too, or I mentioned Frankenstein. Guermo del Toro's Frankenstein's
on Netflix actually pretty decent so far. I didn't finish
frank I rather with Giermo from Jimmy Kimmel. Okay, exciting.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
Also, if you're a basketball fan, there is a great
new Alan Iverson documentary that just dropped.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Oh wow, okay, yeah, there's always something great I.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Get nowadays in sports it feels like if you're awesome,
like you sort of get a cool documentary. That's gotta
be a cool feeling. Players, not like, yeah, one day
to be a great doc about my life.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
I mean, I've watched them all, so I guess there's
money to be made, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Well, before before we get out of here, I know
that you had a problem with people saying Jordan love
who are we realizing he's overrated? And I just think
that you said it before, and I'll back up. You
said that we are so quick, like everyone wants to
label everything, and I get it's part of the sports
media game and the politics game. People love to label, label, label,
(38:30):
you know, people in society love to label everything who
they are, what they are, but then at the same
time they don't want to be labeled. It's it's a
very interesting thing. Jordan loves a young man, a young
man in life, a young man on the field. How
could you when you see what happens with Sam Darnold
and Baker Mayfield and guys that were like at the
bottom in front of the back Hall of famers who
(38:50):
had just a few off years. Peyton Manning in his
third or fourth year wasn't all that stellar. I mean,
some quarterbacks with Hall of Fame careers got off to
terrible starts.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
His story's not written. People need to stop with it.
I just think it's something that we need. It's like
bs sort of conversation. It's like Josh Allen's overrated, or
maybe it's as simple as he's just not having the
best year. For all we know, he still might win
the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
But I guess who guess who's won super Bowls with
like they're not spectacular number of years. I don't know
a guy named Patrick Mahomes, right, I mean, guys don't
always win during their best offensive statistical years. And we're
also way exaggerating because right now, Jordan Love, I know,
we're at the halfway point. Last year, he had twenty
five Tuddies eleven picks. Right now thirteen and three with
(39:36):
a better quarterback rating, we're making it say like the
Packers are under five hundred and they're under delivering. If anything,
like Matt Lafleur seems to be the one that people
are like, what is Matt laflor not delivering? Jordan Love's
twenty seven years old, dude, Bakersfield, California kid in his
third real full season as quarterback. So with that said,
we're talking about a guy who's in season three and we've.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Seen his potential, right, So that's that's it. Like, it's
not like we don't know he's good, he's just not
having a decent year. He's having a decent year, and.
Speaker 8 (40:06):
He's starting off this season hot, remember, and then we
were hearing the narrative, Oh see, he's taken another step
forward and now suddenly a few games later he's overrated.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
People love to say that, and again this is according
to bleacher Report, and then that starts to create some
buzz and then people run with that narrative.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Look a look at that division. The Lions are six
and three, the Bears are six and three, the Packers
are five three and one. Is that one lay mass
tie against the I think gets some cowboys that have
it off kilter, But the reality is they're right there.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
They're half a.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Game out of the division and they still have the
visional games. So for all we know, Packers are a
home team, playoff team, and we're we're gonna just forget
the stupid conversation ever exist.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
We'll just a label crazy culture and this is more
proof of that. All right, So we'll see Rich back
in La tomorrow. All right, are web therect you baby,
see you in the Promise Land, and let you guys

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
