of July week Cavino and Rich Chase Cavino does spot

a great time hanging out with you guys, eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox Now. Normally we're on from
two to four on the West, five to seven on
(00:40):
the East. But a pleasure waking up nice and early,
like mister Furley, like the old guy doing the show.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And it's weird because you have so much rest of
the day.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
We do a Patreon after this, and it still feels
like there's so much day left and I walk around
like a zombie because I'm all tired because my schedule off.
But hey, we do it because we love it, love
hanging out with you. And now we're fighting about this
Yadi air Molina story, and we still have lots to
get to again, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
If we have time, where was he in Egypt? We'll
talk about that.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Iron My trivia definitely, so you gotta stick around for that.
But uh, let's get to the phone calls. Rich, they're
all lit up. It works when you.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Say light them up, Staky.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
We're shaking it up, getting to your phone calls, getting
you involved a seven seven ninety nine on Fox, and
I can't wait to read the feedback as well at
Covino and Rich briefly travel sports.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You'll do anything for your kids. You're paying lots of money.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yadier Molina is wearing all Cubs gear, so it sparked
the conversation, would you rock the gear of your kid's
team if it was a rival team?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Richy spot, it's not that simple. It's not it's not
that sill. I mean, you're gonna say, I'm the coach.
I love you, son, but I'm a Dodgers fan. I
can't where the giants. No can do like you sound ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
That's it. Like I said, I'll make this clear because
I want to go to the phone calls.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but I would
have a little bit of a problem with it, and
I don't think I would.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I don't think I would.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
But I also know that you do anything for your kid,
and you say one thing and do another. I get
all that because I've been there and I've done that.
But as far as like again, feeling like a fraud
and phony, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. And Danny
G most of the people here except for you in
spot agree that it's not an easy choice when it
comes to rival I've never worn another team's jersey. I've
(02:36):
never worn another team's hat. That's just not what I've
done ever in my life.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Ever.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
So let's go to the phone calls, see what you
think about it. Eighty seven ninety nine out.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Fox in Little League, Yeah, you wear whatever team you're on.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Like I said, I remember, I wore a puffy hat
like gear like it wasn't the actual team's jerseys I was.
I was on the Cardinals as a little kid league, right,
and it was just you know, the puffy foam little
league hat with the sea on it. I wasn't wearing
Saint Lewis Cardinals hats.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
We all did that. But now you know, it's twenty
twenty four, it's not nineteen eighty four, so things have changed.
And you know, the Little League fields are better, the
shacks are better, the scoreboards are better, and the uniforms
are better. So all these little kids have like replica jerseys,
and I get it. It's not ideal. But if you're
a Phillies fan and your kid is on the the
(03:28):
you know ten and under braves, are you gonna say,
I can't with the braves, gar, I can't coach my
son's kids.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Kids don't have a choice. And kids are kids, and
they're dumb and they're figuring it out. You're an adult.
You're making a choice, making an adult choice.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Let's go to the phones. Let's talk to Vin. Want
to start with Vince. Danny play that out for one.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Second before So Vince, play it out. You're in the
Little league meeting with other adults at like the Little
League draft. You're making the teams up and they're like,
all right, you pick out of a hat, All right, Cavino,
your team's the uh.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I have no prob bring with weenie dads. There's too
many weenie dads out there. If I'm the only guy,
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
So if you've been assigned, all right, you know your
team's the Orioles Weenie Dance, you're gonna say to the
because every dad's a weenie other than him, don't you know?
That's why?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, guys, that's great.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I'm a Yankees fan, so I'm here to help and
I'll rake the field and I'll devote all my time.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But I'm not wearing that weak ass hat. That's what
I'm thinking.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I would say, stripes, I'm not shedding them. Sorry, man,
I don't root for losing organizations like you.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You do realize the original the original reaction would be.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Like and then they got kindly. I'm on the radio
with you, and I don't want anyone holding the fact
that I'm a Yankees fan against me. Whatever team you
root for, I'm supporting your decision to root for your team.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Like I'm from the East Coast. You can't get mad
at me because I'm loyal to my team. I expect
you to be just as loyal to every to whatever
team you root.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
For that's not your team though, it's it's literally they're
just assigning the names. Of the pro team, so the
kids feel cool. Danny g you could at least admit
that if Cavino did say that in a in a
little league meeting, their first reaction would be like laughter
because they would think he's joking. You know that, right?
Speaker 6 (05:08):
I mean, why do the why do the little league
teams have to have the pro style show?
Speaker 7 (05:14):
God?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I like my nephew Jersey off. Yeah, like the caller said,
his son's team is the Bananas?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Do that?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I like that? Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
We had been in my union, little League Union, New Jersey.
When you were in the minors, they had like weak
ass team names like you were on the Mustangs, the Virginians, Yeah,
the Maple Leafs, Like, I'm all about that, the Wolves,
the Wolves. Yeah. Let's go to Vince. Let's go to
the phones light having a fun one today. Vincent, Ohio,
(05:46):
you're on the Cavino and Rich Show and for Dan Patrick, Hello,
Hey Vince, Jo Vince, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
Hey, Yaddy in Atlanta. He's tough. He's tough because that'd
be a ruffle right there. But as a father, I
know you that a step up. I'm a big Reds
fan and I love I love hats. Always wear hats.
I'm fifty one years old. I always love hats. But
there's two three hats I will never ever wear. I
wear baseball hats. I got about half dozen Reds hats,
(06:15):
some other stuff. I will never wear Cubs, Cardinals or
Braves hats, and never wear another team's jersey. I'm just
like hat.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
But what if your kid was on the uh on
on that team on the Braves.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
We're going and I'm the coach. We're gonna have We're
gonna have a conversation.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Be kind Rich Rich telling me he's crazy, Tell him
he's crazy, and Rich tell Ben Affleck he's crazy too,
because didn't Ben Affleck refuse well.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Benefics a celebrity and beneflex the past. No, what do
you mean had a choice? You don't And in the movie,
in the movie Gone Girl.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That he's actually getting paid he should do whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
They say, no choice because he direct he made the movie.
So what they they want want him to wear?
Speaker 10 (07:01):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
They wanted him to wear a Yankees or Mets hat
and he's like, no, I'm from Boston. You're out of
your mind.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
The director wanted Ben Affleck to wear a Yankees hat
and he said, I would do it, but what would
happen is everyone would be worried and talking about that
more than the movie. I'm not wearing a Yankees hat.
I'm a Red Sox guy. And he was, but this
character was a New Yorker, so he compromised and wore
a Mets hat.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Let's go to thank you, Vince. Let's go to James
in Virginia.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
James, you're on with Cavino and Rich Danny j Joel
hanging out having a good time.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Wow, thank you for taking my college gentlemen, Happy Tuesday.
I got you, commanders, man. So look, man, I got
two parts here. In my twenties, my younger years, I
signed out to be a little league football coach, and
they're like, you want to be a head coach or assistant.
I'm like head coach.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Of course.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
They're like, great, we got one team available. I'm like, great,
what team? This said the Cowboys. I said, I'm being
assistant for another team.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
But here we are.
Speaker 10 (08:03):
In my forties. Then I got a little girl, and
if she wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, I'm
decked out in the baby blue and silver all day,
every day showing up ready to hold on.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Thank you, Ma, you know first of all, And by
the way, if you watch the America Sweethearts Dallas Cowboys
Cheerleader docu series on Netflix, it's definitely worth the watch.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Check that out, watch it with your daughters or whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I did have an exception, James, and you made me
think of it, like, yeah, little League is one thing.
You could be there and be the greatest at in
the world. It doesn't matter what hat you're wearing. So
I say, you don't have to do that. But if
your kids in the big leagues, now you have a
full on reason to say. You know what, I've been
a lifelong whatever fan, but my kid is playing for blank.
(08:47):
You're rooting for that team now because your kid is
on that team.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
So if your daughter's a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, yeah I
get it, you're gonna be all decked out because they're
playing in the bigs.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Dude me to say, but just you act as though
I'm not loyal or care about my teams. Meanwhile, like,
I'm so invested. I'm traveling games in Super Bowls the world, So.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I am who I am, bro, And I feel like
you don't have that that type of personality.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That you have weird, you have weird convictions.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
That's not weird, bro, that's you gaslighting again, that's not weird.
There's nothing weird about that. Is everyone that's called defending
me weird?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Are they weird?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Are loyal to their team and who they are? They're
not phonies?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
If your kid, there's nothing phony about saying that I'm
a fan of Attende is a bit maniacal?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And why I feel right doing that? If I feel weird,
like that's not part of me? Like what am I doing?
If you had a son, that's like you dressing me
up in something I could never see myself dressed up
in like that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
If you had a son and he got drafted and
played for the Boston Red Sox, I would hope you'd
become a Red Sox fan of root for your.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So I just said that while you were.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That that makes you at least that's a reasonable answer.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So let's talk to Patrick and Palm Springs is Cavino
and the most reasonable greatest guy ever, Rich Davis.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I'm glad you.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
What's up Patrick?
Speaker 7 (10:12):
How you guys doing?
Speaker 9 (10:13):
Hey happy as well?
Speaker 7 (10:17):
So short story, I'm in the middle I bought my
wife a new car. We have a sixteen month old son,
so I got the new car a couple of years
ago to get prepared. They asked me if I wanted
a specialized license plate. I said no, I don't really
want anybody to know my wife's driving around and with
my family, et cetera, et cetera. Got the license plate
from the DMB a couple months later. I'm a huge
(10:39):
Packer fan. Sorry about that. It's the Lion fan there.
But the license plate legit said forty nine three eighty
nine or something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'll trade with you, bro. I love that guy.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
So so that license plate never went on that car.
I drove the fricking paper license plate for a year,
ended up having to get a specialized license plate and
just put my two kids kat Liam as the license plate.
So that situation is definitely more similar to the you know,
haircut kind of situation. But when it comes to your
(11:16):
actual kid on a team, if it's a Detroit Lion
football team, my son's on or I'm coaching, I'm I'm
wearing a blue shirt and I still can't do the
jersey's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
That's a fun compromise. I like that compromise. Hey, Danny
g I.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Said I would get the generic Halloween baseball jersey in
the color.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, so okay, ready, if my kid is again I'm
a Yankees fan. If my kid is on the Red
Sox in Little League, I'm like, of course, I want
to do the right thing, but the right thing for
me would be like a nice red T shirt, you know, generic.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Genes Cavino's going to Big five and he's gonna go
a baseball team with Navy sleeves.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah, I like that. Thank you, man. Let's go to
who we got next? John and La, John, John in La,
you're on the show, Cavino and Rich.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
Hey, Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 11 (12:10):
I'm with Covino. I'm a Doggers fan, and because they're NFCY,
I would never ever wear Angels team, Yankees team a
Giants team. Aura padres him and I've been a baseball
dad for ten years, so I'm with you. I would
never do it.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Ris tell him how crazy weird he is. His name
is sehn in La.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Hey, John in La, I love you. Appreciate you listening.
In fact, you should just listen every day when we're
on the afternoon. But you're a freaking lunatic.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Lunic Does it ever get to a point where you
feel like maybe you're the weirdo when when there's so
many people that disagree with you, Well.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Because what you're describing is like extreme fanatical behavior, and
you can't question my fandom.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Here's about my team, no one, It's just part of
being a fan. You don't feel right about.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
It, Yeah, I wouldn't feel right about it, but I
think of how silly I You know what I would do?
I would I would be hesitant. I can't say I
would it. If my son was on like the Phillies,
I'd be like, oh, I hate the Phillies. But you
know what, after like a minute, I'd be like, how
silly am I that I'm worried about this? My kids
playing Little League? I'm worried about this? Oh what a
(13:21):
dufist I am? I would feel after a minute, I'd feel.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Snap that picture and send it to all your Mets friends.
I would love to love to do that, and that's
why we're talking about it here for his kids.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Fourth of July week. You know what I would love
to do. I would love to shoot bottle rockets out
of a whiffle ball bat right at you like we
did his kids.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Let's talk to Tommy in North Carolina. Tommy, Hey, I'll.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
Tell you what Cavina was calling loyalty and passion. Actually
a psychologist term for it. It's called over identification. It's
these people that say we did this, we did that.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I'm not that type of guy, but go ahead.
Speaker 12 (14:11):
But yeah, that's any hell, there's a little psychological term.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Thank you doctor.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You know me know what the opposite of that is
to me.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
It's not a psychological term, but it's like no identification,
and it's guys like rich generic guy, you know, Guy Smiley.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Give me a break, guy, What do you identify with?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
It's like generic guy.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
If I'm over identification guy, then what you're under identify?
What's the opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I'm not the opposite. I'm just saying it's a bit
wild to be like, my.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Whole identification is based on the Yankees. Give me a break.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
But I'm also a guy who stands for my family
and who they are and where they're from and all
those things. A lot of those things don't matter to
guys like you or this guy who's bringing up over identification,
then what.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Are you under identification?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I'm over and when I say, I'm speaking to the
generic you right now, if guys like me are over identifying,
maybe you're under identifying.
Speaker 13 (15:13):
Rich talks about the Mets and the forty nine Ers
ad nauseum on this show. He wears the gear during
the seasons on the show every day. And you're saying that, but.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Who's the Met's biggest rival? Like, in Rich, would you
wear the Niners rival the way you're okay wearing a
baseball rival?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Listen, dude, Like I a Seahawks jersey?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Like did you do a jersey trade with Dan Byer?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Trying to think likeway, I don't hate the Seahawks anymore,
becaus there and I don't feel that that's the.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Thing I don't feel.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Yeah, I don't feel like you have a team that's
a true rival.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I hate it. I'll tell you what I hated. I
hated the Seahawks when they were Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman
and they were whooping the Niners in the NFC championship.
If you were to say my son at that time
was on the Pop Warner Seahawk, I would have reluctantly
been like, oh gross, but I wanted to put up
like a weird stink about it.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
We've exhausted this also exposed is a masterclass in gas
lighting and Rich calling me weird and crazy, everybody else
weird and crazy. You're out of your mind over identifying.
And then when I say the opposite to him, he
gets all but hurt about it. Oh no, maybe you're weird,
maybe you're under identifying, and then he says, what are
you You're the rudest, I'm the rudest.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah you did?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Are you not claiming that guys who are on my
side are all over identifiers, are all weirdos, are all crazy?
And then when I come back at you, you're like,
oh man, you're so I'm the victim here?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Oh why would you be so mean when you're the
guy saying and throwing all the punches we asked?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That's that's a masterclass and gas lighting. And I hope
I exposed you because that's okay. Are you a bachelor contest?
And that's exactly what it is. It's like you're trying
to manipulate it. Uh, Tommy in North Carolina? Rich, Yeah,
believe me. I hate that term too, but that's what
it is. Tommy in North Carolina, you're on wrap it up.
(17:13):
I was just on, Oh yeah, that was Tom Hayden
in Nebraska. Wrap it up and thank you.
Speaker 14 (17:21):
How we're doing fellas doing good?
Speaker 9 (17:24):
All right? This is I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I'm a generic guy.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't have thoughts.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
And this hit home here.
Speaker 14 (17:30):
So on second grade. I'm in Nebraska now, but I
grew up in Oklahoma. In second grade, we had a
Christmas party at school, Peter Hot Chocolate out and then
Nebraska Cornhusker pale or whatever, and I remember being absolutely
disgusted by that and told her my dad would not
appreciate me drinking out of that. I'm not having no
hot chocolate. And I've lived by that my whole life.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Man, You're you're really whack. We're a whacking doodle, I know.
Speaker 14 (17:59):
And I'm an Oklahoma fan. I'm more passionate about college sports.
I have two boys in my own little league age.
If they were on the texasng Horns, I ain't wearing
no Texas shirt and I ain't wearing no burnt orange
to meet in the middle. I'm just saying I ain't
wearing it, and I.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Kept the college identifying weirdo.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I get the I get the college passion. I say
that because I'm you know, get Texas now.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
But how do you get that people could be passionate
about whatever it is they want to be passionate about.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, I'm saying, I get the college passion he's talking about,
especially college football. I've been to I've been to weddings
where people wore Texas and A and M jerseys to
the rehearsal dinner, and I'm like, what are we doing here?
Put on a freaking dress shirt? What's doing Listen, We're
talking to a predominantly die hard sports audience. You're gonna
(18:48):
get people saying, Cavino, You're right, that's like, that's like
going to a liberal wienie party and being like, Joe
Biden still has his faculties.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Right you going on one of those on fourth of July?
Perfect that fun with that's meeni party.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
But listen, it's a It's an interesting topic, which is
why everyone's fired up about it.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
If somebody was going to that party, rich'd be like
asking them to wear a Trump shirt?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
And they wouldn't. That's what you believe these against what
they believe in and who they are and what.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
They believe in the Yankees. You don't have to stand.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
It is similar. You gotta admit it's similar.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
It's what I'm into, It's what I devote my time to, Like,
why would I support anything else? So there's a there
was a compromise, and that's generic year to support your kid.
I'm glad we came up with a solution.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Wow, getting late early, lots of feedback to appreciate that
love the feedback goodness.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
The feedback is pretty awesome. Hey in for DP, Cavino
and rich We're gonna play Mike Tyson Trivia, iron My
Trivia a little.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Bit I saw in the kitchen. Man, he's looking angry today.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Can I hate you? And Danny up with a quick
random question?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Sure, so unless you want to keep fighting about wearing
other teams jerseys.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
By the way, we're Covino and rich In for Dan
Patrick the Dan Slam eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
We got some giveaways in a minute iron Mike Trivia,
and if we do have time, we'll talk some Aaron
Rodgers or fireworks, whatever you want to talk about. Otherwise,
we still got tomorrow and the next day.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, we got it all, but that that's the fun
of the Dan Slam. Four days of fun. We talked
about Tatum and Jalen Brown. By the way, the starting
five for the Celtics, would you believe are just shy
of a billion dollars worth of contracts.
Speaker 15 (21:38):
Billions and billions, billions and billions and billions and billions
and billions and billions and billions.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
But you ever see that experiment on social media where
they show like a grain of rice is a million
and how much a billion is? Like we don't we
sometimes we confuse like, oh yeah, a million or billion,
so drastically different, so drastically different. But the Celtics starting
five close to a billion dollars in salaries. Now, let
(22:09):
me turn to the NFL just for a second. The
highest paid QB, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.
Do you think the highest paid in each of those
positions is also arguably the best at that position or not?
Do you want to take a guess at who they are? Quarterback? Okay,
(22:33):
who do you think it is?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Is it.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Mahomes? Yeah, he just reworked that deal not too long ago.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's Joe Burrow?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Would you agree that he is against elite?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
A lot of times you're being paid for potential, right,
sobs next in line?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But so Burrow is the highest paid quarterback in the
National Football League with the annual yield of sixty two
point nine million. Now running back, who would you say
is the best running back in the National Football League? McCaffrey, Yeah, yeah,
And he is the highest paid seventeen million wide receiver.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
And he's having a great week. Congratulations, got married now
to Olivia Cult wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, thirty five mil. And you could argue that aj Brown,
Waddle Cup digs. There's a lot of good receivers, you know,
but I think I think Jefferson. You could argue who's
the best so so far, I think Borrow, McCaffrey and Jefferson,
the right guys are getting paid, is my point, right,
And then tight Ends Kelsey just restructured his deal seventeen
(23:45):
million years. So I think the NFL, you know, they
got it right at least where I think other sports.
I know they just want an NBA title. But do
you think Jason Tatum's the best player in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I'd have to say no to that. But again, but
they he just didn't just be a one and there's
nothing to say about it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I think.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I think there's a bit of a stigma around him
because people think he's not that guy, but the record
proves otherwise.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Not that got go well now as we as we
get into Iron Mike Trivia. I did see a meme though,
Danny about your your boy Lebron James saying what's wrong
with Lebron? I think it was like a fake tweet,
like it must be me because everyone you know, whether
it's Clay or Kyrie or any of these guys that
Lebron wanted to come play with him. Do you think
it's intentional that they're not ending up there or do
(24:37):
you think just it's not working out?
Speaker 5 (24:39):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
It's been a big question in the Lakers group chat
the past couple of days, like what's Polinka waiting on?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Or is it that deep down inside some of these
guys might be like, yo, Brody, you're yo, Lebron, You're
my boy, and then behind closed doors they're like, yeah,
I don't. I don't really want to go there.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I don't want to play with him and his kid.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
There might be some of that I'm still waiting on,
possibly jer I mean, Grant and DeRozan. So there's still
a couple of guys out there but yeah, the list
of players is dwindling down, because.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That's every business, not to get all you know, business
on you. But a lot of times you'll say something
in a meeting and then when the meeting ends, you
pull someone aside, like, well, here's what I really think.
And I wonder if a lot of Lebron's boys off
the court, because Lebron is very popular in the NBA
among the players. Fans may hate on him, but in
the league he's very well received. I just think maybe
some of these other stars like, yo, you're my boy, yo,
(25:30):
but I don't want to play with them.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well, because maybe it's you're my boy, and I don't
want to play for you because you're my boy, right,
and you're not believing in the leadership going on there
or what the potential future looks like. So we got
to play this game. You don't want to make Iron Mike, Wait, dude,
I don't know. And yeah, it's easy for you to
do that in Texas. He's out here snarling in the doorway.
(25:54):
So let's do it, Iron Mike Trivia.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Mike Tyson was a I want your heart, I want
to eat your children.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
With an ear to this. If you're a boxing Brainia
tired Mike Trivia can't man.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
All right?
Speaker 6 (26:12):

What do I do for a living?
Speaker 10 (27:29):
Uh?
Speaker 15 (27:31):
I don't want to say.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
He's the criminal. No, I think probably the other extreme
might be law enforcement. All right, here are the rules.
He didn't say he's calling from Chatsworth. All right, here's
the rules for Iron Mike trivia. The first contestant with
two correct answers is the champ. If there's a tie,
we have a tie breaker question. Your name is your buzzer,
but you do have to wait until all three possible
(27:54):
answers are read. If there's two wrong answers in a row,
we move on to the next question.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Are you ready? Yea, Let's get it home?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
All right? Round one.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
I once famously said this about my character. Hey, I'm
not Mother Tretha, but I'm not Charls Manton either. B
If hell has a boxing ring, I hope the devil
is ready for my right hook or see. I have
lots of layers to me, like an expensive mattress. What
did I once famously say about my character Iron Mike.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Rich got in there first.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Maybe the one Mike about the devil on the boxing ring?
Speaker 6 (28:36):
No spot spot for the steel something about Mother Teresa
and Charles Manson.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That's correct.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah, yeah, I'm once famously said I'm not Mother Tretha,
but I'm not charlt Manson either.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
You're not Mike. All right, so spotty on the board.
As we moved a round two, round two?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
What does the thie stand for in the Boxing Organization WBC?
Is it a committee, B cabinet or the council.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Rich Rich committee?
Speaker 9 (29:16):
No? Wrong?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Wired for the steal, go for counsel. Yes, there it is.
Kevin wired on the board. Hey Travis in La is
your buzzer working?
Speaker 10 (29:28):
I didn't know?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Okay, all right, guess well now with a wonderful guest
from Kevin.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Bt spot and Kevin both on the board. As we
moved around three.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
You got a chance I'm getting it right.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Which actor did the great Julio see the Chavis have
to portray him in an upcoming bio film with it
a Diego, Luna b Mark Wahlberg or the Michael Pana.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Oh, Trevory wh guess by the way, no penalty if
you get it wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
By the way, Travis, I feel like they're giving you,
like plenty of times.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Travis, we're giving you like a standing eight count.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I feel like they're really trying to get you involved.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Travis.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
It would be nice win.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
You either have to say a B or C.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
I know it's really difficult. Take a guess, Travis.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
I forgot that it was boxing the general.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Yeah, but if you only three letter if you could
guess either one.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Is this a Luna guy Diego Luna?
Speaker 8 (30:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Sorry, all right? Anybody for the steel spot, for the
steal and the wind?
Speaker 13 (30:43):
Is it Michael Pena yea, that would make it the
really interesting Well, I mean yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Who do Mark Wahlberg, which makes no sense at all.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
He didn't even just ask. He bagged them.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
He looked nothing like That's why I was thinking, I'm like,
who out of I was gonna go with Diego because
a young Diego Ban.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That's like a graduate to portray me in a movie.
It makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That's like when Brett That's like when Brett Pitt played
uh Doctor Fauci on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Well, Chaves told Wahlburg, don't worry the movie is going
to be in English, and Wahlberg said, I'll do it
if you'll produce the movie. So people are speculating that
it's gonna happen. All right, We move on to round four.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Which of the boxing class is the heaviest? If you
guys know, I was the youngest heavyweight champion of the world.
Which boxting class is the heaviest A light heavyweight, B,
welterweight or the flyweight?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Kevin Kevin A A is corrected.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
From night heavyweight, one seventy five wealth weight to one
forty seven flyweight. Is what I'm at right now, like
two fifteen. I feel a pretty fly Yeah, you look
pretty good. I like one twelve. Guys, I'm just being thilly. Sorry, guys,
learn something. Learn something with Covino and Rich and Travis
in La. Sorry that this boxing triviue wasn't right up
your alley? But uh was it a nice effort? Can
(32:15):
I say that nice effort?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Not really?
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I mean I like Travis.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
I mean I guess for my punishment, I have to
work on the Bernie Fratto Show with Kevin and Melvin
night that you know what I think you do?
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Have to do that I like Bernie, that's going to
give me a practice so he knows us.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well all right, well guys, I gotta go now, by guys.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Let me tell you what.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Congratulations I saw that you won? Man, that was that
was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Danny g When we play some of these fun trivia
games here and there, the uh the idea that it's
multiple choice, when the contestant realizes that we're giving him
like one second to jump in and they don't. I
don't know why it bothers me, you know why, because
it's like it really is like spot said a one
(33:17):
in three chance. Mike Tyson said, one of these three things.
If I was the contestant, I'd be like Travis, like immediately,
It's like it's like a comdo when you were when
you were in school and you had a scantron if
you didn't know the answer, like yeah, see see I see.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
The shoulder of the kid in front of me.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
That's what I tried to do.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You know, there was a kid I used to cheat
off of in high school and he got wind of it.
So you know what this little punk ass did. You
know now that looking back, he was probably right because
I was the one cheating, but he would do all
the work. And right before we handed in the assignment,
that's when he like feverishly was like c p A
A like like because he wouldn't want me to see
his scantron's chet and that his name is Joe ram.
(34:00):
I hope he's not doing great.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Oh wow, I called him out on national radio. So anyway,

Speaker 2 (37:12):
That's as I said in that promo. You've never been
known to be Marianna Rivera in the bedroom forgot. I
said that good lie.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
By the way, good one. My wife must have.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Been listening on our way back from getting coffee, and
she said she was saying our debate about Yadi Air
Molina wearing the Cubs blue, her family, her dad's die
hard Cardinals fan, and you know, so you know we
get it. I get it. We were talking about we
clearly disagreed. Her question was, think of all the times you,
(37:46):
probably because you have a teenage daughter, how many times
did you have a unicorn sticker on your shirt? Or dad,
let me paint your fingernail, or dad, can you wear
this shirt? I want you to wear this like you
do all these little things for your kid, like anytime
you see me in like a toy story shirt. Do
you think I want to wear that or do you
think my.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Ski I'm not anti unicorn and I don't root for
the opposing unicorn is a difference.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
There, no with with that mindset. Let's say your kid's
in t ball, little Gregor's Cavino and you're the Cubs
or some other Red Sox Yankee whatever it is, not
the Yankees. If he's like dad, I'm so excited, put
on your shirt like mine, you might just be like dad,
pressured because you love your kids so much as you
(38:30):
beat it.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
Kid.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Hey, no way, you know we don't root for that.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
That's not who we are. Kid.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
Sorry, anyway, we talked about it. No one said you
could phone a friend and bring up points later on
get out of here. You're they're breaking the rules. So
we promised we talk Aaron Rodgers. Let's talk Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers missed mandatory mini camp. And it's a big deal, right,
got people talking, and now we know why. Now we
(38:57):
know why, and I want to know if that to you.
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed the team's mandatory mini camp
because he had a pre planned trip to Egypt.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
As the sources told.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
The media Rogers attended every day of the team's Phase
one voluntary workouts. He missed one week of Phase two,
but attended every organized team activity workout, also voluntary, and
apparently according to inside sources, rich scoops Callahan, who has
(39:32):
the scoop.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, the team doesn't care. They understand.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I mean he really needed to see those pyramids.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yeah, but that's what I don't get, right, pre planned,
So is your football season? So is your preparation. I
don't get that part of it. How does that make?
Speaker 4 (39:50):
How's that an excuse when you're Aaron Rodgers can't go
to Egypt anytime you want?
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Right, you got the fund.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, that's that's the part of it. That that's the
part of it where I'm like, yeah, the guy's got
a whole off season. Like, listen, there's conventional jobs and
unconventional jobs. He's got an unconventional one where it's laser
focus for a majority, like more than half the year.
But every athlete has months at a time. Now they
try to stay in shape, but there is months at
(40:15):
a time in every major sport where you could do
these things with your friends and family. You see, after
the football season, after the baseball season. All your favorite
athletes on social media doing like month long beach vacations,
are on a yacht or on a vacation home with
their family. Travis, Yeah, I mean like Travis Kelcey is
all over Europe with Taylor Swift. No one's blinking an eye.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
And let's make it clear too, rich On behalf of
both of us. No one here was like, man, Aaron
Rodger just about it or got about it. But the
excuse is a little odd, right, like pre.
Speaker 13 (40:47):
Planning, So what I mean an Egypt trip is not
something you plan like two weeks in advance.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, but dude, when the football season.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Is Yeah, but the story goes Aaron Rodgers. When he
scheduled it, there was a miscommunication of when the mandatory
practices were, so he may have like booked it. But
then again, you say to yourself, well, then change the trip.
Aaron Rodgers took one hundred thousand dollars plus in fines,
so clearly changing the trip wasn't an option because you'd
(41:19):
be like, well, just book new tickets or Aaron Rodgers,
money's not an object. If money was an object, he
would he would care a little more about the one
hundred thousand dollars he was fined. I just wonder, is
this really an issue at all? When you're Aaron Rodgers
and you play at the level he does Covino and
you're considered one of the greatest of all time, do
you really think him missing like a week of practice
(41:39):
or so.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
It's about leadership? Is it's about leadership?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
It is.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
It's about showing up and showing the team that you're
there no matter what. And I gave him more of
an exception when I thought it was like a family
related thing or a family emergency or he's the godfather
of a kid and he had to be there, Like,
I want more into that. Your thoughts at Coveno Rich
We can continue tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
We'll see We'll see you then. Until then, have a
good one, are we with there?
Speaker 8 (42:05):
Cheap baby?
Speaker 3 (42:06):
You win the Promised Land later.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Have a good day, everybody,
