Steve Cavino, Rich Davis, Spotty, Danny g Moncy, Don Brown.
We're gonna have a good day. It's a party, happy
Memorial Day. First and first, mostly before we get into
the nonsense, and of course, Jimmy Butler still my guy.
(00:48):
I want to honor and remember all the fallen troops
who serve this country. Thank you, guys. Enjoy the day,
Enjoy your barbecue, and I'll tell you what I know barbecue.
I'll let me tell you all the brave soldiers you
just mentioned. The bravest you get is when you put
(01:08):
cheese on your burger, can share a little lactose. Yes,
that is true. You're the guy when when you're going
everyone at risk when you go around the barbecue. All right,
we got burgers. Who wants cheese? Everyone's like, yeah, cheese
from me, And you know why, because Covino. Let's be honest,
you don't want him stinking up the after party. That
was also one of those kids to growing up that
never liked cheese, and then people would always see the
(01:28):
same thing. But you eat pizza, and I'm like, so
it's different. You know who likes cheese. So we're the
worldwide leaders of nonsense. Cavino enriched the most interactive show
on Fox Sports Radio, according to us, the most inclusive.
So we want to hear from eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. While you're sitting there grilling in the
(01:50):
name of grilling and boozing and schmoozing, give us a call.
Hit us up on social media at Covino and Rich
and as the we Niels say, Rich, you know the Wenils,
let sef and go crying sports and life chant of
everyone in their twenties. Let's go, let's seven go, let
um you know what. Let's start with Jimmy Butler and
(02:11):
then I have a really odd observation on my way
over here to the Fox studios today, and it has
to do with stinky people. Nice no ice but I'll
tell you Jimmy Butler, man, he's a gamer, and I'll
steal Colin Coward's hot take. He should have been the
m v P of the series. Man should have been. Yeah, dude,
(02:31):
didn't miss a minute last night, played his heart out,
inflammation in the knee, collect a thousand dollar fee. If
you talk about what valuable means, I mean, what were
the Heat without? This is the tired argument for generations
m v P. What does it mean? Is it the
best player or is it valuable? Because without Jimmy Butler,
(02:53):
that Miami Heat team would have been golfing and sitting
on the beach a week ago. Just like his attitude.
I like how he's taps it up. I like cow
He's a nobs dude, He's likable, he comes to play,
he got he's got great coffee. I don't think about him. Honestly.
You know where I really turned the corner. It wasn't
when Jimmy Butler was in Office Christmas Party. Remember he
(03:13):
made a cameo in that movie. Of course I did.
He was great in Office Christmas, wasn't that? But that
showed that he was more than just a basketball player.
He was a personality, can I guess and then you
could go on yeah, no. He won you over in
the bubble two years ago when everyone was struggling to
find their way. I feel like Jimmy Butler's personality and
(03:34):
his whole vibe shine with the coffee stuff at the
coffee stuff in the NBA bubble when everyone was like
remember on social media, is like who brought to the bubble?
And I don't know. Jimmy Butler to me, if you
don't remember that story, he brought his like coffee equipment.
He became a barista and he was charging everybody. I
think at one point, right it wasn't even a happy
(03:54):
phase or I think that's a weed company. I don't know.
I don't know. Was that from half Baked? From half
Baked Half I want to talk to Samson Jimmy Butler
coffee company? Is that was another story that made me
face happy face, I want to talk to big face coffee.
(04:18):
He would charge everybody in the bubble. He was making money.
He took it serious, became a story, but it's you
saw the personality he opened up shop what really turned
the corner for me. I always liked him as a player,
like man this guy's got he's got an attitude about him,
like a winning attitude. He comes to play. I like that.
I noticed that, But then when I saw his likable side,
(04:39):
it made me root for him even more. It's not
office Christmas party, and it's not commercial where he was
singing Hall of Notes. Do you remember that, you make
a d He was singing hall of Notes in this commercial.
And I would see a lot of times when you
watch like the m L B app or certain apps,
(05:01):
if you're a slinger like me, you see the same
commercials over and over and over again. That was the one,
and you know when he was singing. First of all,
just the fact that he was singing hall of Notes
impressed me. But just seeing that side of him, the
playful side of him, it made me respect him even
more because you know, you know, he probably failed recess
because he don't play, but there's still a fond side
(05:23):
is a gamer. And you're right, Kaepernick, Kaepernick, Butler the
other Colin Cowherd, Oh, Cowherd, we are talking cap Oh yeah,
there there there's a Kaepernick deep thought later. Um, but
Cowherd did say, if you really want to talk about
what m v P means, maybe it should win to Butler.
You know Don Brown, good to see your face, man, Jimmy,
(05:45):
are you a fan of Jimmy Butler or what you
like Jimmy Butler's game or what? Uh? I can't say
I really pay attention to too much of him. I
just know that he's a guy. He's a dog. He
is a dog like he is and plays hard the
big controver or she is. I just whether or not
he should have took the shot. Remember, he's the team
(06:06):
as far as I'm concerned. There's seventeen seconds left. Last
night we were calling the game live all last night
right we were watching like, oh man, it looked like
the Celtics had it, but they came close at the end.
Butler has the ball with seventeen seconds for the lead,
the score Celtics ahead. He takes Some people are saying
an ill advised three point shot for the lead. Celtics
(06:28):
get the ball back and it's sort of drained the
momentum and the vibe of the game. Do you ever
get caught up in a moment that you can't get
out that he was stuck in him, that's stuck in him. Sorry, Bono,
Damie always says that it's my favorite phrase Danny g
producer has said for the last year since we've been
here at Fox Sports. Don't be a prisoner of the moment.
(06:50):
Don't be a prison at the moment, prisoner of the moment.
Don't be a prisoner of the moment. Some mixture, cheese,
my cheeseburger. You know. It's uh, it's It's one of
those scenarios where he was balling. He was He's the guy.
Jimmy Butler is what kept Miami in this and even
(07:15):
the best of us get a little too caught up
in the moment, in the excitement, and Jimmy Butler all
he had to do was he oh, I'll take a
deep bread, all right, let me instead of immediately pulling
up driving it, don't even driving that moment. Look at
the clock. Twentysothing seconds. Maybe hold for the last gay
shot at seventeen. I don't know. Again, he shot for three,
(07:37):
went for the lead, missed, Celtics get the rebound. Momentum
is over. If he gets the shot, you right, If
if he got a good look, if the shot goes in,
then I'm the idiot because Butler's the hero. Up by one,
but I just feel like he makes the shot. Everyone's like,
what a g what a guy. He is the hero.
(07:58):
He took it into his own hand hands. What a shot.
But no matter what level you play at, he missed.
Now everyone questions it. No matter what level you play at,
Pop Warner football, little p al basketball, little league baseball.
From that time I hit my peak at a NERF basketball. Yeah,
the one you put over your door. Yeah, it was
(08:20):
pretty nasty. Yeah. Yeah. Remember had mad ups in my droopies.
Remember you hung maybe you used to hang from the
rim to and then you realize he had an adjustable rim.
I think that from that level until even the pros.
I'll give you an example a closer in baseball. If
you got two outs in the bottom of the knife,
(08:40):
two strikes, you get caught up in the moment, and
sometimes a closer will throw like there hardest fastball right
down the pipe because your instinct is what do you
do in the clutch situation? You swing for the home run,
you throw your fast this fastball, you shoot the game
(09:02):
winning three. You know what you do deep out pattern.
You want to touchdown to win the game. Like I
just feel like Jimmy Butler was trying to live out
the fantasy instead of saying, what is the let me
use my head for a second. I get what I'm saying.
Of course, there's two signs to this argument, but it
also shows his leadership. He's like, Yo, I'm taking this
(09:22):
I'm taking this shot, and it's on me. You know,
that's who you want in those moments, dude, when the
games online, you want your best player at the plate
running the ball. It's the equivalent taking the shot. And
Jimmy Butler took the shot. It's the equivalent of being
ahead oh two on a batter. He missed two fastballs,
so hey, let me throw him even a harder fastball
(09:44):
and with him to end the game. Instead of saying,
all right, how about a junk curveball down in a
way to set up the next pitch, he got caught
in the moment and said, you know what, game winning,
go ahead three. Let me do it and you can
see better at night knowing that your your guy, your
main guy. The guy, arguably the m v P of
(10:05):
the series was the guy who took the shot didn't
go in for him. It wasn't the worst shot, by
by the way. If you watch social media closely, like
I do. I do the research for you so that
you don't have to. I take extra time in the bathroom.
Are you getting out anytime soon? No, I'm just scrolling
through the news. Let me alone, waiting from feeling to
(10:27):
come back in my legs. The back of my thighs
are all red. Gotta peel myself off Fox Sports research
on ain't doing research. Let me alone. Look at the
memes now, you know when I'm in the bathroom doing research,
Just don't send your memes to fam By the way,
you know what they're you know what they're posting out there.
It's like such a false narrative. It's it's such such
(10:48):
a fake sort of take. They're showing that clip of
Carlton when he takes the shot. You're not no One
from Fresh Prince calling and everyone's watching to see and
you're like, oh, he's gonna make it. They're like, yo,
Jimmy Butler's last shot. That's what that's what the public
is saying. So if he didn't see it, I don't
think it was a bad shot. I can't say he
was that open. He could have drove and tied it,
(11:11):
but he took a nice shot. Hit the rim, didn't
go in. But that's your guy. You could sleep at
night knowing that your guy took the last shot, didn't
go in, and the Celtics win and move on. What
are your thoughts on that? Man? I mean, Jimmy Butler
was the star of the series. He could have tied it.
He went for the win. Yeah, he just looked so
(11:31):
gassed that at that point everyone was saying, last night,
even in the studios, right here, man, just drive right
there to the go against Corford liked, and just go
to the wreck. And he probably would have did that
in the first quarter, but with swollen knees and as
tired as he was, he was panting, he was he
was gassed. Noticeably gassed. Yeah, every minute. Yeah, I mean
(11:53):
the probably understandably gass. He like Don said, he's a dog.
He is their dog. So to say stop right there
and pass to somebody else, No, you're gonna live and
die with that shot if you're the heat. By the way,
how many times have we seen like a star player,
you know, dished the ball when they should have been
taken the shot. And then you said, then you say, exactly,
(12:14):
You're like, yo, what a weenie move? Yeah, you dished
it off. That's your shot. We see that and we
fight about it all the time. You're right, Rich, it's
it's damned if you do, damned if you don't sort
of thing. So I see both signs. But I'm here
to tell you that when you got your best player,
the best player in that series, going for the win,
(12:36):
I mean, that's what it's all about. That's that's Haaron.
That's having Aaron Judge at the plate with the game
on the line, that's all you want. You're right, Honestly,
Jimmy Butler with the ball and twenty seconds left is
like having Tom Brady in the red zone exactly, Marietta
Rivera with the ball in the ninth any I get it.
Can just and he was, and let's give credit where
(12:59):
it's due. What great sportsmanship. I'm a big fan. Jimmy
Butler is just you know, he's taking his stardom next level, alright,
And I think I think he should have earned everybody's
respect playing hurt and playing the way he did, playing
hurt and not missing a minute. And then, like I said,
he went up to Tatum right after the game. You know,
it's your series, you know, take it all the way.
You know, I'm had a living of course, but you know,
(13:21):
embraced him. Have a question, do you think, realistically think
about when you played, even on the lowest levels like
little league in high school, in college you're talking to
the guy who seven Litle league home runs? Jesus, do
you always want the person that eliminates you to go
all the way that way you lost to the champion,
or you bitter and like, yeah, I hope they lose.
(13:42):
Like do you think, Jimmy Butler, deep down inside, it's like, yo, Celtics,
you take it all the way, you beat me. I
think it feels better to know you lost to the
team that went the whole way. Well, let's pass forward
to Thursday. Well rested, they're getting manis and petties and massages,
eat cheeseburgers. Right now, the Golden State Warriors are in
chill mode waiting for Game one at home in Golden
(14:05):
State in the Bay Area. So I asked you this.
You know what the ironic part of all this is
all this hot air we're yelling and speaking about Celtics
move on and Golden State Warriors just whoop them anyway.
So what differences even calling a five games, even if
it was the heat you had to hurt Jimmy Butler.
(14:25):
You know, I think it's the Golden State Warriors year anyway.
So we're here speculating on on this game when the
obvious is right here in front of it. It won't
even matter. It won't even matter. I ask you this.
Steph Curry went to five NBA Finals in a row.
If you remember, they lost to Toronto when they were
(14:48):
banged up, and they lost the Lebron, and they lost
the Lebron when Lebron had the ultimate highlight of his
life coming back three games down winning with the Caps.
So five NBA Finals in a row, three and two,
what happens here. I'm certainly not saying it's cements his legacy,
(15:09):
but three and three in the finals versus being a
guy that now has four rings, and now four rings
is closer to Kobe and Duncan and some of these
guys that have five, two away from MJ and Scottie
who got six. So I think I think this is
a big one for Steph because it either needs you,
um you know, backs him up when he said wait
(15:32):
till you guys see me next year. Wait tc us
next year. He predicted it last year they'd come back
and win it. It's Magic Johnson in the finals. I
know he's got five NBA titles as a player, Magic Johnson.
He lost a couple of times. But you're right. I
think there's a This is a big one for Steph.
They win, which is predicted, likely big time favorite. I'd
imagine in Vegas they walk away with four NBA titles
(15:57):
and Steph is still young enough to say, hey, maybe
there's one or two more in my future. All right, Well,
your thoughts on the finals is all set up? Game seven?
I mean came seven? Uh the n The NBA Finals
begins this Thursday, Boston at Golden State Warriors. Any thoughts

com and within the I Heart Radio app search f
s R to listen live. Oh yeah, Jimmy Butler, Yeah,
(17:04):
that's my song. That's what I won you over when
I saw Jimmy Butler singing this song and that commercial.
I don't remember the commercial, who cares. I just remember
Jimmy Butler, pack him up, his his suitcase singing along
to Hall of Notes. Made me like him even more.
And I think he you know what, Danny g nail
on the head. Danny G hit it on the head.
(17:26):
The dude was gass played every minute he went for
the shot, big deal. He could have been the hero.
That's the guy you want taking the shot. And that's
how it's meant to be. Welcome to Cavino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio, filling in for Doug Guttlieb, Steve Cavino,
Rich Davis spondees here, Danny g Don Brown, Mons's here,
(17:46):
what's up? Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
Let's go to Nick in Los Angeles. And then I
have a weird observation I made on my way over here.
What's up Nick Hey Bora raised out here, and I
I saw all those nine Magic Johnson Finals, and I
uh pretty much hate the Celtics like everyone else out here.
(18:08):
But I just wanted to give a West Coast perspective
about why it is. You know, I lived there for
two years Brookline of Wolfboro. I was, I knew guys
who were in the Connecticut uh you know, so called
Connecticut Mafia. Not not actual mafia guys, but just Celtic guys,
you know, and uh, they're they're all racists. They'll use
(18:28):
the N word. There's a reason Ted Williams didn't tip
his cap. There's a reason um uh Bill Russell didn't
give autographs. You know. They're an ob noxious part of
this country. And I lived in the South too. There's
no city more racist than uh Boston City. Yeah, yeah,
I'm going on. I'm gonna leave it with this, just
(18:53):
so everyone can understand my perspective. We when when Kobe
beat the Celtics and games Evan, I was there. I
was there for the whole run, for every game against
the Celtics. Okay, and there were they don't travel well,
they don't travel well at all. But there were you know,
two or three guys in each section, everywhere in the building.
(19:15):
And but in Game seven, after Perk went down, they
all sold their Game seven tickets. There wasn't a Celtic
fan to be seen in Game seven. I'm sure someone
call up and go I was wearing all green. Yeah.
No notice chowder for them this series. Note chowder for them. Ever,
may every team from Boston never win again, and these
(19:36):
people deserve to suffer. The recent spat of victories is
enough for three hundred years and they should suffer on Hey, Nick,
you want to tell us how you feel about the Patriots,
the Bruins or the Red Sox. So thank you, jeez,
our buddy. Ian Carmel said something, you know, comedian Ian Carmel.
He's got a nice mustache. Now he's got that Nest
Cortez mustache. He's a comedian. He says, Bostons entire crowd
(19:58):
is made up of people who get out of their
car if you hung at Tim to stop like. I
think that it's a nicer way of saying, maybe kinder
than Howig put it, because you could picture Boston's rough dude.
I know, just from growing up on the East Coast.
Yankees fans who are obnoxious to begin with, are only
out obnoxious by Red Sox fans when you go up
(20:18):
to fed Way to check out a game. So hey,
good luck to your Celtics there. I just don't think
that I had to explain your background to him when
he first called, because he's like, how do these two
guys not know that Magic was five and four in
the finals and US Laker fans here he's listening on
a M five seven d l E Sports Because all
of our research was from Winning Time exactly, and I'm
(20:40):
not up to that season yet. No, but I knew
that I knew that Magic had five I wasn't sure
if he was five and three or five and four.
He's five and four in the finals. And my point
was Steph is at a crossroads where this finals could
mean four and two or three and three. You know,
you know what Danny told what he said, he had
to explain our background, what that we were raised by clowns,
(21:00):
what was Oura grew up in Jersey with healthy tailor
Hammond pizza. He knew that you're broadcasting from the network
studios in l A. So I think he just assumed
you were from here. How do you not know that,
but you guys obviously from Jersey exactly. We're from the
East Coast. Don't get started. He'll tell you about the Yankees,
all six of their rings. Yeah, and I'm sorry, did
(21:23):
I say you know what I love about the last one? Covino,
This is my favorite part about Caveno being a Yankees fan.
His daughter, his beautiful daughter, Melody, was born the day
after the Yankees won the World Series in oh nine
and I said, dude, you were blessed with a beautiful daughter.
Maybe the Yankees never win again. And they haven't won
(21:45):
since I said you. I said, God blessed you with
a beautiful daughter. You Yankees are now cursed. And you
know what, since your daughter has been born, no World Series? Yeah, yeah,
absolutely so. Thank you guys, Thank you for hanging out
with us. Cavino and Rich We're from the East Coast.
Riches from Frankland Square, Long Island. He put the square
in Franklin Square from Union, New Jersey. That's me Bonnies
(22:05):
from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. But we're out here in
Los Angeles, the mean streets of l A live from
the Barrios and rishing you a happy Memorial Day, honoring
the fallen soldiers. We remember and honor you guys on
your day off, give us a call at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Suremanaks the Barrio. I'm not
from the Barrio, bro, I don't know you. Yeah, I
(22:26):
was getting mean mugged all the way here. I had
a thought that as I was walking over here, I
got here early, so I walked up the block, got
a super huge coffee. I gotta I mean, I gotta
trade people listening, could just trent I have never even
had one of these sound wound up? Well was you know?
I was like, I want to I want to be
fired up. We're on for four hours today filling in
(22:47):
for Gottlieb and the Vegas Show. So I'm like four hours,
I need the biggest coffee you've got. And on my
way back, if you walk down Ventura by the way,
that is a ridiculous size cup of coffee. It looks
like spud Web holding up a big gold It's the
opposite of Aaron Judge holding a bottle. You see that
picture last week, Danny j Aaron Judge holding it looked
(23:08):
like a little little teeny whenie bottle um so I'm
walking back with my Starbucks and I passed there's like
a dog grooming doggie careplace right here in Venture, like
maybe two blocks from the Fox studios. Just stopping for
a trimp. Have you see my side poofs I've got
a little trium up. Always reminds of dumb and dumber
when I walk exactly. So as I passed this place,
(23:31):
I'm like, God, smells like wet dog and I'll be honest,
pretty gross. I'm sure they do a great job cutting
the pets and boarding them when people are out of town,
but that place stinks. And my first thought was there's
like a cute girl in the window working there, and
I'm like, she must stink every time she leaves work.
How much is that cute girl in the window? One
(23:54):
with wi cheeks? So I just remember when I was
in high school, dumb brown like that. It's a great
visual right of those cheeks in the window. When I
was in high school, I worked at Wendy's and every
time I left Wendy's, I smell like meat. Like honestly,
(24:17):
there was like a weird it almost says like body
own Wendy's. When you work at a fast food place
back in the day, in like high school. You leave
that place. You can't go on a date. You can't
be like, you can't tell your boys, y'all meet you
when I'm done, because you can't be showing up somewhere
smelling like meat, rich meats. Dude, I got the meats,
and I thought to myself, this this you know, cute
(24:38):
girl in the window probably spends most of her week's stinking.
I mean, that's that's works. But is there is there
another job you could think of that would leave someone
more smelly than a dog food like a dog grooming
type of place. But this is like a boarding place too.
It's not just a dog. It was like the width
of this place was like, oh, you know, like wet dog.
(24:58):
When when people get nose blind to their own stinky
animals trying to think. I mean, I think, if you're
working hard, just your own body odor. But those people,
like for people that really work hard, sitting here in
the air conditioned studio, those people go home and they
shower and they're like, all I was worrying. I'm a
personal trainer, I'm a construction guy. If you cut hair
(25:20):
like you have everyone's hair all over you, you can't
like just roll out when you have people's hair all
on your body, your shoes, your pants, you know what
I mean, Like everyone has when the barber uses the
hair drying to blow the hair off your going everywhere.
You know what our buddy addie who cuts our hair
said to me. He said, guys like me have very
straight hair. Right, my hair would splinter in their skin,
(25:42):
so they would have their hairs other people's hairs splintering
into their skin. How did my brain leak out? Is right?
You know what I'm saying. But it's you know, it's on.
Then the rest of the day, just go home. Anybody
you never thought of that? Did you good? Wow? Wow? Wow?
(26:08):
But just I don't know, there's no real question other
than you know, if you've got a job where you
gave us a good visual of this girl. But that
I don't know what. I'm just thinking, like there's certain
jobs that and it's not the one you would think
because you would say, like all construction workers are personal
trainers and people not sweating and working hard, those people shower.
(26:28):
I feel like someone that works at maybe like a
seafood restaurant, a fast food place, a dog boarding spot.
You can never you can never really get rid of
that smell. Subway is also on the list. My sister
used to work at subways every day. Smell like that's
strange chemical bread smell on poor sister comes and smelling
(26:50):
like cult cuts and onions. You know why, man done?
You know that was a great point because I was
thinking the same thing, because sometimes you can't tell someone's
just stinking, or it's like an onion sande so many sandwich,
or someone got bad body order. I can't tell. And
when my older brother was a senior in high school,
he had a job with Foster Farms chicken, and he
used to come home just wreaking of like that batter
(27:13):
that you use on the chicken. I'm telling you, so,
just just reminder, if you've got kids, or you're a
younger person, just don't if you've got a stank job,
you gotta go home and scrub yourself. Because I saw
this girl, and I'm like, yo, she if she meets
her girls out, her boyfriend or someone out, she this
place reeks the end stinking like ay B Lincoln. All right, Well, hey,
I'm sorry I had to digress for a second. It
(27:35):
was on my mind and I'm fired up because I
have a thirty ounce coffee. Uh, Nate known as the
army Man in Maine real quick, and they'll go to
Monster for an update. What's up, Nate? Hey, what's going on? Guys? Um?
Just uh, I didn't quite like your guys take on
the Cells getting beating four or five year you know,
I believe Green and but I'm no stranger to adversity.
(27:58):
I um, you know, I've seen the Celtics come from
zero to hero in this season, you know, and the
playoff series, you know, and uh, they've overcome so much
a diversity. Um, I no one could take that away
from them. No one disagrees with that. And you know what,
they've been hotter than any team in the League of times. Nate.
So hey, I just think it's just my prediction based
(28:20):
on the There's a lot of experts saying it's gonna
go to another Game seven, But I just think I
just think gold worries two good Golden State, Golden State
against the Celtic Stephen Clay, you know, such a great
one to punch and they've had this rest. Now while
you got you know, you could maybe your best bet, Nate,
is that Celtic fans hope that they carry this momentum
(28:40):
in the high off the win to the Bay Area
because truthfully, the alternative is that you're tired and you're
facing a team that's been chilling for a week. Yeah,
I mean that's been the Celtics this whole playoff season.
You know. It's like and uh with with the Celtics
coming into this series, I think that a bigger team.
(29:01):
Um they make you know, they're they're not the freshest legs,
but I just think being much bigger than the other team,
I think we're just gonna beat them in the paint,
to be honest. And we've been letting these teams, you know,
live and die by the threes, so you know, let
them shoot the threes. And you know, as long as
we're pressing and being the defensive team that we are,
(29:23):
you know, I I think Celtics in five or six.
To be honest, Hey, put a little put put a
little cash on a thing, because odds would be great.
If you think we don't have we don't have a
horse in the race. Don't have a horse in a race.
I don't have a horse period, So hey man, I
just want to see a good series. Nothing against your Celtics.
Maybe a large dog. Yeah, but I do think it's
(29:44):
the Warriors chip to lose. But two of the greatest
words in sports, guys, game seven, and we have that
today in the Stanley Cup playoffs. That's right, the Hurricanes
are gonna take on the Rangers. The pockets have to
drop at eight p m. Eastern time. The Canes are
perfect at home this postseason. They are seven and no,
while the Rangers on one and five on the road.
A lot of Ranger fans on the East Coast got
(30:04):
the nervous parts right now, New York. Yes, I know,
we'll see what happens. Maybe they can get this went
on the road and maybe you know, the Canes are out.
We'll see. This is the East second round of the
Stanley Cup playoffs. So again a p m. So at
least we have a game seven today. Always exciting. Enjoy
(30:27):
your enjoy your Dodgers best record in the National League.
Cause they played my Mets this weekend so close. I'm excited.
I'm taking my daughter to her first baseball game this
Friday night. Um, she's got I bought her a little
blue and orange Met shirt. But yeah, Mets and Dodgers.
Very exciting they are. You know I'm going going this Friday. Yeah,
this Friday. You know it's it's Pride Dodger Stadium. Get
(30:48):
out of here. Yeah, it's going to be a nutty,
nutty day. Like I'm just telling you, it's like a
whole event. You should plan to get there three hours
before because people will get there three hours before. Is
that when the Dodgers wearing the the special hats, like
the rainbow hat. I think they're wearing it, and there's
also a giveaway, but you have to purchase it with
not that if you want to Pride jersey, it's a
Kershaw Pride jersey where the number is in rainbow, but
(31:10):
you have to pay extra for it. It's not like
a stadium wide giveaway. It's one of those special ticketed giveaways.
But it's going to be a nuts day. Just prepare yourself.
I gotta get there earlier. Get there early. Talk to me.
I'll put you on the pregame tour. Talk to me.
I will talk to Moncy. You know. It's the interesting
thought talking about the National League and I'm glad the
(31:31):
Brewers are losing. Sorry Milwaukee, because I know I know
we're not even at the All Star break, kid, I
know we're not even close. But the new playoff format
to me that the players and owners came to I
think it's awesome. Of all the times where people what
people love to complain about everything. Everything Comino, I'll get,
I'll credit the price of gas. Uh what else did
(31:54):
the laws in this country? People can play about everything.
Covino said something like a year ago, and it's it's
stuck with me. You said it used to be you
can't please everyone. Now it's almost like you can't please anyone, said,
I'm not a taco. Oh you can't please everyone. Please everyone?
Mony okay with that one, But you can't. I've given
(32:23):
up trying to please everybody. You can't please everyone. Um.
But the format for the Major League Baseball playoffs real quick,
and I know we gotta break six teams make the
postseason in each league. I don't know if everyone even
remembers because of all the negotiations. Remember, there wasn't even
gonna be a baseball season. We forget that. Three division
winners and three wild cards. Right the first the top
two division winners get a bye into the automatically advanced
(32:46):
to the divisional round where the third division winner plays
a wild card team in the best of three and
the other two wild cards play a best of three.
So you could win the division, but you don't want
to be the third worst division winner because then you
gotta play a wild card series. And right now the Mets,
Dodgers and Brewers are like straight up like head to head,
so we'll see what happens. I haven't thought about that
(33:08):
coming up, and all your feedback right here Coveno and
Rich and forgot Leave on Fox Sports. It's gonna be

(34:14):
thank you. Alright, don't do that, right, I mean, how
do you not sing it? You got it? You really do.
It's one of those call to response, call and response already. Oh,
let's see if this one works. Pack it up, pack
it in, let me begin. That's there's things that you
can't resist, alright, alright, stop collaborate and listen. So I
(34:36):
thought you were gonna say hammertime. Ah oh, I got
about this already there. Yeah, just some of those that
you can't resist, can't resist, can't resist psychio. It's my
wife is fascinated when there's some type of basketball, handball,
(34:58):
baseball for anything. If there's a ball in the room,
she's like, there's always has to be a guy that
picks up and throws at her, fiddles with it, like
you can't like if there was eight you can't say,
getting his own and someone not scream Yeah, it's impossible.
Impossible by the way, you're watching any of the Stranger
Things season four, Yet I'm watching Obi one. Oh You've
chosen well, I just saw that. Do I even know
(35:22):
this song? And I feel like I know every song
from the eighties, nineties, two thousands were music guys right
deep down inside? Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush
is the number one song on iTunes because it's in
the season four premiere. That's like an obscure eighties song
to me. I'm just saying it shows you the power
(35:42):
of like a top Netflix show, and it shows you
to you know, like same with TikTok right, like some
obscure thing could become trending one second all of a
sudden it's popular. So hey, after Game seven tonight Rangers Hurricanes,
we heard Monsey talk about it. You could watch some
Obi wan Kenobi or some Stranger Things, which I'm hearing
good things about. But a warning, it's a it's a
mid season sort of finale. It just sort of ends
(36:04):
mid season like better call Saul, it's not the final
How do you do? You're not gonna get the full
story in this little half a season sort of deal.
You know, I had a at a deep thought. I
think you and I've don't overpromise rich it's deep. You
said this about Cobra Kai, and I asked my wife
(36:25):
this last night, because my wife's more of a Star
Wars nerd. I'm not into that stuff much at all,
but my wife has watched them all. She knows all
the movies and the shows and the spinoffs. What's interesting
to me you said this about Cobra Kai. We watched
three or four if you count the one with what's
your face? Karate a Kid? For? Who is in Karate Kid? For?
(36:50):
To spot anyway? I want to I want you to
figure this out on your own. Hillary Swine, Yeah, we're
not here to finish your sentences. You're here leave me
hanging when you know the answer, you dummies. And I
like wat you look, look on your face. I like
seeing your wheels turn, to see the hamster inside. I
like seeing smoke committing here. Yeah, well, we're talking about
(37:11):
we're talking about four movies. Forget the one with the
Hilary Swink. Three Karate Kid movies like ninety minutes each, right, roughly,
So you're talking about four and a half hours of
eighties Karate Kid movies that you just fell in love
with as a little boy. We've had four seasons of
(37:32):
Cobra Kai, so the reality is Cobra Kai hours and
content wise, Dwarfs Karate Kid. You've had four ten episode
seasons of Karate Kid. You've had roughly so you could
say that Ralph Maccio and Billy Zavka played their characters longer,
you know, as as adults than they did in the eighties. Well,
(37:54):
keep that thought because that's sort of transitioned into a
thought I have about the whole Star Wars universe, and
we'll get to that. We'll talk some movies, we'll talk
some sports, obviously Game seven tonight and baseball. And I
thought about Travis Kelsey that you brought up yesterday. I
wanted to get into a little more Mark coven On

Memorial Day. First and first, mostly before we get into
the nonsense, and of course, Jimmy Butler still my guy.
(00:48):
I want to honor and remember all the fallen troops
who serve this country. Thank you, guys. Enjoy the day,
Enjoy your barbecue, and I'll tell you what I know barbecue.
I'll let me tell you all the brave soldiers you
just mentioned. The bravest you get is when you put
(01:08):
cheese on your burger, can share a little lactose. Yes,
that is true. You're the guy when when you're going
everyone at risk when you go around the barbecue. All right,
we got burgers. Who wants cheese? Everyone's like, yeah, cheese
from me, And you know why, because Covino. Let's be honest,
you don't want him stinking up the after party. That
was also one of those kids to growing up that
never liked cheese, and then people would always see the
(01:28):
same thing. But you eat pizza, and I'm like, so
it's different. You know who likes cheese. So we're the
worldwide leaders of nonsense. Cavino enriched the most interactive show
on Fox Sports Radio, according to us, the most inclusive.
So we want to hear from eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. While you're sitting there grilling in the
(01:50):
name of grilling and boozing and schmoozing, give us a call.
Hit us up on social media at Covino and Rich
and as the we Niels say, Rich, you know the Wenils,
let sef and go crying sports and life chant of
everyone in their twenties. Let's go, let's seven go, let
um you know what. Let's start with Jimmy Butler and
(02:11):
then I have a really odd observation on my way
over here to the Fox studios today, and it has
to do with stinky people. Nice no ice but I'll
tell you Jimmy Butler, man, he's a gamer, and I'll
steal Colin Coward's hot take. He should have been the
m v P of the series. Man should have been. Yeah, dude,
(02:31):
didn't miss a minute last night, played his heart out,
inflammation in the knee, collect a thousand dollar fee. If
you talk about what valuable means, I mean, what were
the Heat without? This is the tired argument for generations
m v P. What does it mean? Is it the
best player or is it valuable? Because without Jimmy Butler,
(02:53):
that Miami Heat team would have been golfing and sitting
on the beach a week ago. Just like his attitude.
I like how he's taps it up. I like cow
He's a nobs dude, He's likable, he comes to play,
he got he's got great coffee. I don't think about him. Honestly.
You know where I really turned the corner. It wasn't
when Jimmy Butler was in Office Christmas Party. Remember he
(03:13):
made a cameo in that movie. Of course I did.
He was great in Office Christmas, wasn't that? But that
showed that he was more than just a basketball player.
He was a personality, can I guess and then you
could go on yeah, no. He won you over in
the bubble two years ago when everyone was struggling to
find their way. I feel like Jimmy Butler's personality and
(03:34):
his whole vibe shine with the coffee stuff at the
coffee stuff in the NBA bubble when everyone was like
remember on social media, is like who brought to the bubble?
And I don't know. Jimmy Butler to me, if you
don't remember that story, he brought his like coffee equipment.
He became a barista and he was charging everybody. I
think at one point, right it wasn't even a happy
(03:54):
phase or I think that's a weed company. I don't know.
I don't know. Was that from half Baked? From half
Baked Half I want to talk to Samson Jimmy Butler
coffee company? Is that was another story that made me
face happy face, I want to talk to big face coffee.
(04:18):
He would charge everybody in the bubble. He was making money.
He took it serious, became a story, but it's you
saw the personality he opened up shop what really turned
the corner for me. I always liked him as a player,
like man this guy's got he's got an attitude about him,
like a winning attitude. He comes to play. I like that.
I noticed that, But then when I saw his likable side,
(04:39):
it made me root for him even more. It's not
office Christmas party, and it's not commercial where he was
singing Hall of Notes. Do you remember that, you make
a d He was singing hall of Notes in this commercial.
And I would see a lot of times when you
watch like the m L B app or certain apps,
(05:01):
if you're a slinger like me, you see the same
commercials over and over and over again. That was the one,
and you know when he was singing. First of all,
just the fact that he was singing hall of Notes
impressed me. But just seeing that side of him, the
playful side of him, it made me respect him even
more because you know, you know, he probably failed recess
because he don't play, but there's still a fond side
(05:23):
is a gamer. And you're right, Kaepernick, Kaepernick, Butler the
other Colin Cowherd, Oh, Cowherd, we are talking cap Oh yeah,
there there there's a Kaepernick deep thought later. Um, but
Cowherd did say, if you really want to talk about
what m v P means, maybe it should win to Butler.
You know Don Brown, good to see your face, man, Jimmy,
(05:45):
are you a fan of Jimmy Butler or what you
like Jimmy Butler's game or what? Uh? I can't say
I really pay attention to too much of him. I
just know that he's a guy. He's a dog. He
is a dog like he is and plays hard the
big controver or she is. I just whether or not
he should have took the shot. Remember, he's the team
(06:06):
as far as I'm concerned. There's seventeen seconds left. Last
night we were calling the game live all last night
right we were watching like, oh man, it looked like
the Celtics had it, but they came close at the end.
Butler has the ball with seventeen seconds for the lead,
the score Celtics ahead. He takes Some people are saying
an ill advised three point shot for the lead. Celtics
(06:28):
get the ball back and it's sort of drained the
momentum and the vibe of the game. Do you ever
get caught up in a moment that you can't get
out that he was stuck in him, that's stuck in him. Sorry, Bono,
Damie always says that it's my favorite phrase Danny g
producer has said for the last year since we've been
here at Fox Sports. Don't be a prisoner of the moment.
(06:50):
Don't be a prison at the moment, prisoner of the moment.
Don't be a prisoner of the moment. Some mixture, cheese,
my cheeseburger. You know. It's uh, it's It's one of
those scenarios where he was balling. He was He's the guy.
Jimmy Butler is what kept Miami in this and even
(07:15):
the best of us get a little too caught up
in the moment, in the excitement, and Jimmy Butler all
he had to do was he oh, I'll take a
deep bread, all right, let me instead of immediately pulling
up driving it, don't even driving that moment. Look at
the clock. Twentysothing seconds. Maybe hold for the last gay
shot at seventeen. I don't know. Again, he shot for three,
(07:37):
went for the lead, missed, Celtics get the rebound. Momentum
is over. If he gets the shot, you right, If
if he got a good look, if the shot goes in,
then I'm the idiot because Butler's the hero. Up by one,
but I just feel like he makes the shot. Everyone's like,
what a g what a guy. He is the hero.
(07:58):
He took it into his own hand hands. What a shot.
But no matter what level you play at, he missed.
Now everyone questions it. No matter what level you play at,
Pop Warner football, little p al basketball, little league baseball.
From that time I hit my peak at a NERF basketball. Yeah,
the one you put over your door. Yeah, it was
(08:20):
pretty nasty. Yeah. Yeah. Remember had mad ups in my droopies.
Remember you hung maybe you used to hang from the
rim to and then you realize he had an adjustable rim.
I think that from that level until even the pros.
I'll give you an example a closer in baseball. If
you got two outs in the bottom of the knife,
(08:40):
two strikes, you get caught up in the moment, and
sometimes a closer will throw like there hardest fastball right
down the pipe because your instinct is what do you
do in the clutch situation? You swing for the home run,
you throw your fast this fastball, you shoot the game
(09:02):
winning three. You know what you do deep out pattern.
You want to touchdown to win the game. Like I
just feel like Jimmy Butler was trying to live out
the fantasy instead of saying, what is the let me
use my head for a second. I get what I'm saying.
Of course, there's two signs to this argument, but it
also shows his leadership. He's like, Yo, I'm taking this
(09:22):
I'm taking this shot, and it's on me. You know,
that's who you want in those moments, dude, when the
games online, you want your best player at the plate
running the ball. It's the equivalent taking the shot. And
Jimmy Butler took the shot. It's the equivalent of being
ahead oh two on a batter. He missed two fastballs,
so hey, let me throw him even a harder fastball
(09:44):
and with him to end the game. Instead of saying,
all right, how about a junk curveball down in a
way to set up the next pitch, he got caught
in the moment and said, you know what, game winning,
go ahead three. Let me do it and you can
see better at night knowing that your your guy, your
main guy. The guy, arguably the m v P of
(10:05):
the series was the guy who took the shot didn't
go in for him. It wasn't the worst shot, by
by the way. If you watch social media closely, like
I do. I do the research for you so that
you don't have to. I take extra time in the bathroom.
Are you getting out anytime soon? No, I'm just scrolling
through the news. Let me alone, waiting from feeling to
(10:27):
come back in my legs. The back of my thighs
are all red. Gotta peel myself off Fox Sports research
on ain't doing research. Let me alone. Look at the
memes now, you know when I'm in the bathroom doing research,
Just don't send your memes to fam By the way,
you know what they're you know what they're posting out there.
It's like such a false narrative. It's it's such such
(10:48):
a fake sort of take. They're showing that clip of
Carlton when he takes the shot. You're not no One
from Fresh Prince calling and everyone's watching to see and
you're like, oh, he's gonna make it. They're like, yo,
Jimmy Butler's last shot. That's what that's what the public
is saying. So if he didn't see it, I don't
think it was a bad shot. I can't say he
was that open. He could have drove and tied it,
(11:11):
but he took a nice shot. Hit the rim, didn't
go in. But that's your guy. You could sleep at
night knowing that your guy took the last shot, didn't
go in, and the Celtics win and move on. What
are your thoughts on that? Man? I mean, Jimmy Butler
was the star of the series. He could have tied it.
He went for the win. Yeah, he just looked so
(11:31):
gassed that at that point everyone was saying, last night,
even in the studios, right here, man, just drive right
there to the go against Corford liked, and just go
to the wreck. And he probably would have did that
in the first quarter, but with swollen knees and as
tired as he was, he was panting, he was he
was gassed. Noticeably gassed. Yeah, every minute. Yeah, I mean
(11:53):
the probably understandably gass. He like Don said, he's a dog.
He is their dog. So to say stop right there
and pass to somebody else, No, you're gonna live and
die with that shot if you're the heat. By the way,
how many times have we seen like a star player,
you know, dished the ball when they should have been
taken the shot. And then you said, then you say, exactly,
(12:14):
You're like, yo, what a weenie move? Yeah, you dished
it off. That's your shot. We see that and we
fight about it all the time. You're right, Rich, it's
it's damned if you do, damned if you don't sort
of thing. So I see both signs. But I'm here
to tell you that when you got your best player,
the best player in that series, going for the win,
(12:36):
I mean, that's what it's all about. That's that's Haaron.
That's having Aaron Judge at the plate with the game
on the line, that's all you want. You're right, Honestly,
Jimmy Butler with the ball and twenty seconds left is
like having Tom Brady in the red zone exactly, Marietta
Rivera with the ball in the ninth any I get it.
Can just and he was, and let's give credit where
(12:59):
it's due. What great sportsmanship. I'm a big fan. Jimmy
Butler is just you know, he's taking his stardom next level, alright,
And I think I think he should have earned everybody's
respect playing hurt and playing the way he did, playing
hurt and not missing a minute. And then, like I said,
he went up to Tatum right after the game. You know,
it's your series, you know, take it all the way.
You know, I'm had a living of course, but you know,
(13:21):
embraced him. Have a question, do you think, realistically think
about when you played, even on the lowest levels like
little league in high school, in college you're talking to
the guy who seven Litle league home runs? Jesus, do
you always want the person that eliminates you to go
all the way that way you lost to the champion,
or you bitter and like, yeah, I hope they lose.
(13:42):
Like do you think, Jimmy Butler, deep down inside, it's like, yo, Celtics,
you take it all the way, you beat me. I
think it feels better to know you lost to the
team that went the whole way. Well, let's pass forward
to Thursday. Well rested, they're getting manis and petties and massages,
eat cheeseburgers. Right now, the Golden State Warriors are in
chill mode waiting for Game one at home in Golden
(14:05):
State in the Bay Area. So I asked you this.
You know what the ironic part of all this is
all this hot air we're yelling and speaking about Celtics
move on and Golden State Warriors just whoop them anyway.
So what differences even calling a five games, even if
it was the heat you had to hurt Jimmy Butler.
(14:25):
You know, I think it's the Golden State Warriors year anyway.
So we're here speculating on on this game when the
obvious is right here in front of it. It won't
even matter. It won't even matter. I ask you this.
Steph Curry went to five NBA Finals in a row.
If you remember, they lost to Toronto when they were
(14:48):
banged up, and they lost the Lebron, and they lost
the Lebron when Lebron had the ultimate highlight of his
life coming back three games down winning with the Caps.
So five NBA Finals in a row, three and two,
what happens here. I'm certainly not saying it's cements his legacy,
(15:09):
but three and three in the finals versus being a
guy that now has four rings, and now four rings
is closer to Kobe and Duncan and some of these
guys that have five, two away from MJ and Scottie
who got six. So I think I think this is
a big one for Steph because it either needs you,
um you know, backs him up when he said wait
(15:32):
till you guys see me next year. Wait tc us
next year. He predicted it last year they'd come back
and win it. It's Magic Johnson in the finals. I
know he's got five NBA titles as a player, Magic Johnson.
He lost a couple of times. But you're right. I
think there's a This is a big one for Steph.
They win, which is predicted, likely big time favorite. I'd
imagine in Vegas they walk away with four NBA titles
(15:57):
and Steph is still young enough to say, hey, maybe
there's one or two more in my future. All right, Well,
your thoughts on the finals is all set up? Game seven?

com and within the I Heart Radio app search f
s R to listen live. Oh yeah, Jimmy Butler, Yeah,
(17:04):
that's my song. That's what I won you over when
I saw Jimmy Butler singing this song and that commercial.
I don't remember the commercial, who cares. I just remember
Jimmy Butler, pack him up, his his suitcase singing along
to Hall of Notes. Made me like him even more.
And I think he you know what, Danny g nail
on the head. Danny G hit it on the head.
(17:26):
The dude was gass played every minute he went for
the shot, big deal. He could have been the hero.
That's the guy you want taking the shot. And that's
how it's meant to be. Welcome to Cavino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio, filling in for Doug Guttlieb, Steve Cavino,
Rich Davis spondees here, Danny g Don Brown, Mons's here,
(17:46):
what's up? Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
Let's go to Nick in Los Angeles. And then I
have a weird observation I made on my way over here.
What's up Nick Hey Bora raised out here, and I
I saw all those nine Magic Johnson Finals, and I
uh pretty much hate the Celtics like everyone else out here.
(18:08):
But I just wanted to give a West Coast perspective
about why it is. You know, I lived there for
two years Brookline of Wolfboro. I was, I knew guys
who were in the Connecticut uh you know, so called
Connecticut Mafia. Not not actual mafia guys, but just Celtic guys,
you know, and uh, they're they're all racists. They'll use
(18:28):
the N word. There's a reason Ted Williams didn't tip
his cap. There's a reason um uh Bill Russell didn't
give autographs. You know. They're an ob noxious part of
this country. And I lived in the South too. There's
no city more racist than uh Boston City. Yeah, yeah,
I'm going on. I'm gonna leave it with this, just
(18:53):
so everyone can understand my perspective. We when when Kobe
beat the Celtics and games Evan, I was there. I
was there for the whole run, for every game against
the Celtics. Okay, and there were they don't travel well,
they don't travel well at all. But there were you know,
two or three guys in each section, everywhere in the building.
(19:15):
And but in Game seven, after Perk went down, they
all sold their Game seven tickets. There wasn't a Celtic
fan to be seen in Game seven. I'm sure someone
call up and go I was wearing all green. Yeah.
No notice chowder for them this series. Note chowder for them. Ever,
may every team from Boston never win again, and these
(19:36):
people deserve to suffer. The recent spat of victories is
enough for three hundred years and they should suffer on Hey, Nick,
you want to tell us how you feel about the Patriots,
the Bruins or the Red Sox. So thank you, jeez,
our buddy. Ian Carmel said something, you know, comedian Ian Carmel.
He's got a nice mustache. Now he's got that Nest
Cortez mustache. He's a comedian. He says, Bostons entire crowd
(19:58):
is made up of people who get out of their
car if you hung at Tim to stop like. I
think that it's a nicer way of saying, maybe kinder
than Howig put it, because you could picture Boston's rough dude.
I know, just from growing up on the East Coast.
Yankees fans who are obnoxious to begin with, are only
out obnoxious by Red Sox fans when you go up
(20:18):
to fed Way to check out a game. So hey,
good luck to your Celtics there. I just don't think
that I had to explain your background to him when
he first called, because he's like, how do these two
guys not know that Magic was five and four in
the finals and US Laker fans here he's listening on
a M five seven d l E Sports Because all
of our research was from Winning Time exactly, and I'm
(20:40):
not up to that season yet. No, but I knew
that I knew that Magic had five I wasn't sure
if he was five and three or five and four.
He's five and four in the finals. And my point
was Steph is at a crossroads where this finals could
mean four and two or three and three. You know,
you know what Danny told what he said, he had
to explain our background, what that we were raised by clowns,
(21:00):
what was Oura grew up in Jersey with healthy tailor
Hammond pizza. He knew that you're broadcasting from the network
studios in l A. So I think he just assumed
you were from here. How do you not know that,
but you guys obviously from Jersey exactly. We're from the
East Coast. Don't get started. He'll tell you about the Yankees,
all six of their rings. Yeah, and I'm sorry, did
(21:23):
I say you know what I love about the last one? Covino,
This is my favorite part about Caveno being a Yankees fan.
His daughter, his beautiful daughter, Melody, was born the day
after the Yankees won the World Series in oh nine
and I said, dude, you were blessed with a beautiful daughter.
Maybe the Yankees never win again. And they haven't won
(21:45):
since I said you. I said, God blessed you with
a beautiful daughter. You Yankees are now cursed. And you
know what, since your daughter has been born, no World Series? Yeah, yeah,
absolutely so. Thank you guys, Thank you for hanging out
with us. Cavino and Rich We're from the East Coast.
Riches from Frankland Square, Long Island. He put the square
in Franklin Square from Union, New Jersey. That's me Bonnies
(22:05):
from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. But we're out here in
Los Angeles, the mean streets of l A live from
the Barrios and rishing you a happy Memorial Day, honoring
the fallen soldiers. We remember and honor you guys on
your day off, give us a call at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. Suremanaks the Barrio. I'm not
from the Barrio, bro, I don't know you. Yeah, I
(22:26):
was getting mean mugged all the way here. I had
a thought that as I was walking over here, I
got here early, so I walked up the block, got
a super huge coffee. I gotta I mean, I gotta
trade people listening, could just trent I have never even
had one of these sound wound up? Well was you know?
I was like, I want to I want to be
fired up. We're on for four hours today filling in
(22:47):
for Gottlieb and the Vegas Show. So I'm like four hours,
I need the biggest coffee you've got. And on my
way back, if you walk down Ventura by the way,
that is a ridiculous size cup of coffee. It looks
like spud Web holding up a big gold It's the
opposite of Aaron Judge holding a bottle. You see that
picture last week, Danny j Aaron Judge holding it looked
(23:08):
like a little little teeny whenie bottle um so I'm
walking back with my Starbucks and I passed there's like
a dog grooming doggie careplace right here in Venture, like
maybe two blocks from the Fox studios. Just stopping for
a trimp. Have you see my side poofs I've got
a little trium up. Always reminds of dumb and dumber
when I walk exactly. So as I passed this place,
(23:31):
I'm like, God, smells like wet dog and I'll be honest,
pretty gross. I'm sure they do a great job cutting
the pets and boarding them when people are out of town,
but that place stinks. And my first thought was there's
like a cute girl in the window working there, and
I'm like, she must stink every time she leaves work.
How much is that cute girl in the window? One
(23:54):
with wi cheeks? So I just remember when I was
in high school, dumb brown like that. It's a great
visual right of those cheeks in the window. When I
was in high school, I worked at Wendy's and every
time I left Wendy's, I smell like meat. Like honestly,
(24:17):
there was like a weird it almost says like body
own Wendy's. When you work at a fast food place
back in the day, in like high school. You leave
that place. You can't go on a date. You can't
be like, you can't tell your boys, y'all meet you
when I'm done, because you can't be showing up somewhere
smelling like meat, rich meats. Dude, I got the meats,
and I thought to myself, this this you know, cute
(24:38):
girl in the window probably spends most of her week's stinking.
I mean, that's that's works. But is there is there
another job you could think of that would leave someone
more smelly than a dog food like a dog grooming
type of place. But this is like a boarding place too.
It's not just a dog. It was like the width
of this place was like, oh, you know, like wet dog.
(24:58):
When when people get nose blind to their own stinky
animals trying to think. I mean, I think, if you're
working hard, just your own body odor. But those people,
like for people that really work hard, sitting here in
the air conditioned studio, those people go home and they
shower and they're like, all I was worrying. I'm a
personal trainer, I'm a construction guy. If you cut hair
(25:20):
like you have everyone's hair all over you, you can't
like just roll out when you have people's hair all
on your body, your shoes, your pants, you know what
I mean, Like everyone has when the barber uses the
hair drying to blow the hair off your going everywhere.
You know what our buddy addie who cuts our hair
said to me. He said, guys like me have very
straight hair. Right, my hair would splinter in their skin,
(25:42):
so they would have their hairs other people's hairs splintering
into their skin. How did my brain leak out? Is right?
You know what I'm saying. But it's you know, it's on.
Then the rest of the day, just go home. Anybody
you never thought of that? Did you good? Wow? Wow? Wow?
(26:08):
But just I don't know, there's no real question other
than you know, if you've got a job where you
gave us a good visual of this girl. But that
I don't know what. I'm just thinking, like there's certain
jobs that and it's not the one you would think
because you would say, like all construction workers are personal
trainers and people not sweating and working hard, those people shower.
(26:28):
I feel like someone that works at maybe like a
seafood restaurant, a fast food place, a dog boarding spot.
You can never you can never really get rid of
that smell. Subway is also on the list. My sister
used to work at subways every day. Smell like that's
strange chemical bread smell on poor sister comes and smelling
(26:50):
like cult cuts and onions. You know why, man done?
You know that was a great point because I was
thinking the same thing, because sometimes you can't tell someone's
just stinking, or it's like an onion sande so many sandwich,
or someone got bad body order. I can't tell. And
when my older brother was a senior in high school,
he had a job with Foster Farms chicken, and he
used to come home just wreaking of like that batter
(27:13):
that you use on the chicken. I'm telling you, so,
just just reminder, if you've got kids, or you're a
younger person, just don't if you've got a stank job,
you gotta go home and scrub yourself. Because I saw
this girl, and I'm like, yo, she if she meets
her girls out, her boyfriend or someone out, she this
place reeks the end stinking like ay B Lincoln. All right, Well, hey,
I'm sorry I had to digress for a second. It
(27:35):
was on my mind and I'm fired up because I
have a thirty ounce coffee. Uh, Nate known as the
army Man in Maine real quick, and they'll go to
Monster for an update. What's up, Nate? Hey, what's going on? Guys? Um?
Just uh, I didn't quite like your guys take on
the Cells getting beating four or five year you know,
I believe Green and but I'm no stranger to adversity.
(27:58):
I um, you know, I've seen the Celtics come from
zero to hero in this season, you know, and the
playoff series, you know, and uh, they've overcome so much
a diversity. Um, I no one could take that away
from them. No one disagrees with that. And you know what,
they've been hotter than any team in the League of times. Nate.
So hey, I just think it's just my prediction based
(28:20):
on the There's a lot of experts saying it's gonna
go to another Game seven, But I just think I
just think gold worries two good Golden State, Golden State
against the Celtic Stephen Clay, you know, such a great
one to punch and they've had this rest. Now while
you got you know, you could maybe your best bet, Nate,
is that Celtic fans hope that they carry this momentum
(28:40):
in the high off the win to the Bay Area
because truthfully, the alternative is that you're tired and you're
facing a team that's been chilling for a week. Yeah,
I mean that's been the Celtics this whole playoff season.
You know. It's like and uh with with the Celtics
coming into this series, I think that a bigger team.
(29:01):
Um they make you know, they're they're not the freshest legs,
but I just think being much bigger than the other team,
I think we're just gonna beat them in the paint,
to be honest. And we've been letting these teams, you know,
live and die by the threes, so you know, let
them shoot the threes. And you know, as long as
we're pressing and being the defensive team that we are,
(29:23):
you know, I I think Celtics in five or six.
To be honest, Hey, put a little put put a
little cash on a thing, because odds would be great.
If you think we don't have we don't have a
horse in the race. Don't have a horse in a race.
I don't have a horse period, So hey man, I
just want to see a good series. Nothing against your Celtics.
Maybe a large dog. Yeah, but I do think it's
(29:44):
the Warriors chip to lose. But two of the greatest
words in sports, guys, game seven, and we have that
today in the Stanley Cup playoffs. That's right, the Hurricanes
are gonna take on the Rangers. The pockets have to
drop at eight p m. Eastern time. The Canes are
perfect at home this postseason. They are seven and no,
while the Rangers on one and five on the road.
A lot of Ranger fans on the East Coast got
(30:04):
the nervous parts right now, New York. Yes, I know,
we'll see what happens. Maybe they can get this went
on the road and maybe you know, the Canes are out.
We'll see. This is the East second round of the
Stanley Cup playoffs. So again a p m. So at
least we have a game seven today. Always exciting. Enjoy
(30:27):
your enjoy your Dodgers best record in the National League.
Cause they played my Mets this weekend so close. I'm excited.
I'm taking my daughter to her first baseball game this
Friday night. Um, she's got I bought her a little
blue and orange Met shirt. But yeah, Mets and Dodgers.
Very exciting they are. You know I'm going going this Friday. Yeah,
this Friday. You know it's it's Pride Dodger Stadium. Get
(30:48):
out of here. Yeah, it's going to be a nutty,
nutty day. Like I'm just telling you, it's like a
whole event. You should plan to get there three hours
before because people will get there three hours before. Is
that when the Dodgers wearing the the special hats, like
the rainbow hat. I think they're wearing it, and there's
also a giveaway, but you have to purchase it with
not that if you want to Pride jersey, it's a
Kershaw Pride jersey where the number is in rainbow, but
(31:10):
you have to pay extra for it. It's not like
a stadium wide giveaway. It's one of those special ticketed giveaways.
But it's going to be a nuts day. Just prepare yourself.
I gotta get there earlier. Get there early. Talk to me.
I'll put you on the pregame tour. Talk to me.
I will talk to Moncy. You know. It's the interesting
thought talking about the National League and I'm glad the
(31:31):
Brewers are losing. Sorry Milwaukee, because I know I know
we're not even at the All Star break, kid, I
know we're not even close. But the new playoff format
to me that the players and owners came to I
think it's awesome. Of all the times where people what
people love to complain about everything. Everything Comino, I'll get,
I'll credit the price of gas. Uh what else did
(31:54):
the laws in this country? People can play about everything.
Covino said something like a year ago, and it's it's
stuck with me. You said it used to be you
can't please everyone. Now it's almost like you can't please anyone, said,
I'm not a taco. Oh you can't please everyone. Please everyone?
Mony okay with that one, But you can't. I've given
(32:23):
up trying to please everybody. You can't please everyone. Um.
But the format for the Major League Baseball playoffs real quick,
and I know we gotta break six teams make the
postseason in each league. I don't know if everyone even
remembers because of all the negotiations. Remember, there wasn't even
gonna be a baseball season. We forget that. Three division
winners and three wild cards. Right the first the top
two division winners get a bye into the automatically advanced
(32:46):
to the divisional round where the third division winner plays
a wild card team in the best of three and
the other two wild cards play a best of three.
So you could win the division, but you don't want
to be the third worst division winner because then you
gotta play a wild card series. And right now the Mets,
Dodgers and Brewers are like straight up like head to head,
so we'll see what happens. I haven't thought about that
(33:08):
coming up, and all your feedback right here Coveno and

(34:14):
thank you. Alright, don't do that, right, I mean, how
do you not sing it? You got it? You really do.
It's one of those call to response, call and response already. Oh,
let's see if this one works. Pack it up, pack
it in, let me begin. That's there's things that you
can't resist, alright, alright, stop collaborate and listen. So I
(34:36):
thought you were gonna say hammertime. Ah oh, I got
about this already there. Yeah, just some of those that
you can't resist, can't resist, can't resist psychio. It's my
wife is fascinated when there's some type of basketball, handball,
(34:58):
baseball for anything. If there's a ball in the room,
she's like, there's always has to be a guy that
picks up and throws at her, fiddles with it, like
you can't like if there was eight you can't say,
getting his own and someone not scream Yeah, it's impossible.
Impossible by the way, you're watching any of the Stranger
Things season four, Yet I'm watching Obi one. Oh You've
chosen well, I just saw that. Do I even know
(35:22):
this song? And I feel like I know every song
from the eighties, nineties, two thousands were music guys right
deep down inside? Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush
is the number one song on iTunes because it's in
the season four premiere. That's like an obscure eighties song
to me. I'm just saying it shows you the power
(35:42):
of like a top Netflix show, and it shows you
to you know, like same with TikTok right, like some
obscure thing could become trending one second all of a
sudden it's popular. So hey, after Game seven tonight Rangers Hurricanes,
we heard Monsey talk about it. You could watch some
Obi wan Kenobi or some Stranger Things, which I'm hearing
good things about. But a warning, it's a it's a
mid season sort of finale. It just sort of ends
(36:04):
mid season like better call Saul, it's not the final
How do you do? You're not gonna get the full
story in this little half a season sort of deal.
You know, I had a at a deep thought. I
think you and I've don't overpromise rich it's deep. You
said this about Cobra Kai, and I asked my wife
(36:25):
this last night, because my wife's more of a Star
Wars nerd. I'm not into that stuff much at all,
but my wife has watched them all. She knows all
the movies and the shows and the spinoffs. What's interesting
to me you said this about Cobra Kai. We watched
three or four if you count the one with what's
your face? Karate a Kid? For? Who is in Karate Kid? For?
(36:50):
To spot anyway? I want to I want you to
figure this out on your own. Hillary Swine, Yeah, we're
not here to finish your sentences. You're here leave me
hanging when you know the answer, you dummies. And I
like wat you look, look on your face. I like
seeing your wheels turn, to see the hamster inside. I
like seeing smoke committing here. Yeah, well, we're talking about
(37:11):
we're talking about four movies. Forget the one with the
Hilary Swink. Three Karate Kid movies like ninety minutes each, right, roughly,
So you're talking about four and a half hours of
eighties Karate Kid movies that you just fell in love
with as a little boy. We've had four seasons of
(37:32):
Cobra Kai, so the reality is Cobra Kai hours and
content wise, Dwarfs Karate Kid. You've had four ten episode
seasons of Karate Kid. You've had roughly so you could
say that Ralph Maccio and Billy Zavka played their characters longer,
you know, as as adults than they did in the eighties. Well,
(37:54):
keep that thought because that's sort of transitioned into a
thought I have about the whole Star Wars universe, and
we'll get to that. We'll talk some movies, we'll talk
some sports, obviously Game seven tonight and baseball. And I
thought about Travis Kelsey that you brought up yesterday. I
wanted to get into a little more Mark coven On
Rich and forgot leap next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
