THE BEST OF THE DOUG GOTTLIEB SHOW

Covino and Rich fill-in for Doug Gottlieb on Memorial Day and have fun discussing the buzz around Jimmy Butler. They take calls from around the country on the upcoming NBA Finals and explain "dog grooming girl." The show gets hungry with irresistible table food picks and Covino gets some Yankee-talk in. Plus, players who came up just short of records or even numbers!

(00:21):
best of the Doug got Leave Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Oh yeah, Jimmy Butler, Yeah, that's my song. That's what
I won you over when I saw Jimmy Butler singing
this song in 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

(00:46):
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. 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. Doesn't work And that's how it's meant
to be. Welcome to Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio,

(01:07):
filling in for Doug Guttlieb, Steve Cavino, Rich Davis spondees here,
Danny g Don, Brown Monseys here. What's 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?
You know, born, born, raised out here, and uh I

(01:27):
saw all those nine Magic Johnson Finals, and I uh
pretty much hate the Celtics like everyone else out here.
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 are in the Connecticut uh you know, so called

(01:48):
Connecticut Mafia. Not not actual mafia guys, but just Celtic guys,
you know, and uh, they're they're all racists. They'll use
the N word. There's a reason Ted Williams in 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

(02:08):
no city more racist than uh Boston. Yeah, yeah, I'm
going on. I'm gonna leave it with this just so
everyone can understand my perspective. We when when Kobe beat
the Celtics in Game seven, I was there. I was
there for the whole run, for every game against the Celtics. Okay,

(02:32):
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. 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

(02:55):
notice chowder for them this series. Note chowder for them. Ever.
May every team from Boston never win again, and these
people deserve to suffer. The recent spat of victories is
enough for three years and they should suffer all. 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 Carmela.

(03:18):
He's a good got a nice mustache. Now he's got
that Nestor Cortez mustache. He's a comedian, he says. Boston's
entire crowd is made up of people who get out
of their car if you hunk at Tim to stop. Like,
I think that's a nicer way of saying, maybe kinder
than how they 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

(03:41):
are only out obnoxious by Red Sox fans when you
go up 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 hees listening on
a M five seven d l A Sports Because all

(04:02):
of our research was from Winning Time exactly, and I'll
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
what Danny told what he said he had to explain

(04:23):
our background, what we were raised by clowns, what was
our 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 could do not know that? But you
guys obviously from Jersey exactly, were from the East Coast.
Don't get started. He'll tell you about the Yankees, all

(04:45):
twenty six of their rings. Yeah, and I'm sorry, did
I say you know what I love about the last one? Covino,
This is my favorite part about Caveno being a Yankees fan.
His arter, his beautiful daughter, Melody, was born the day
after the Yankees won the World Series in oh nine,

(05:07):
and I said, dude, you were blessed with the beautiful daughter.
Maybe the Yankees never win again. And they haven't won
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 Franklin Square, Long Island. He put the square

(05:29):
in Franklin Square from Union, New Jersey. That's me Bonnies
from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. But we're out here in
Los Angeles, the mean streets of l A live from
the barrios and rich and you a happy Memorial Day
honoring the fallen soldiers. We remember an honor you guys
on your day off. Give us a call at eight seven,
seven ninety nine off Fox Sherman Oaks, the Barrio. I'm

(05:51):
from the don't know. Yeah, I 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 ta. People listening told
just I've never even had one of these, Well was
you know? I was like, I want to I want

(06:11):
to be fired up. We're on for four hours today
filling in for Goottlieb 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 gulp.
It's the opposite of Aaron Judge holding about you see

(06:32):
that picture last week Danny J Aaron Judge holding it
looked like a little little teeny wheenie bottle. Um. So
I'm walking back with my Starbucks and I passed there's
like a dog grooming doggie care place right here in Ventura,
like maybe two blocks from the Fox studios. Just stopping
for a trimp. Have you see my side poofs I've
got a little trauma. Always reminds me of dumb and

(06:52):
dumber when I walk exactly. So as I passed this place,
I'm like, I sumes 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

(07:13):
I'm like, she must stink every time she leaves work.
How much's that cute girl in the window, one with
the wig cheeks? So I just remember when I was
in high school, tomb brown like that. It's a great
visual right of those cheeks in the window. When I

(07:37):
was in high school. I worked at Wendy's and every
time I left Wendy's, I smell like meat. Like honestly,
there was like a weird it almost like body owner 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 smell them like

(07:59):
meat has the meats. Dude, I got the meats, and
I thought to myself, this this you know, cute 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.

(08:19):
It's not just a dog. It was like the whiff
of this place was like, well, you know, like wet dog.
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 here in an
air conditioned studio. Those people go home and they shower

(08:42):
and they're like, I was worrying. I'm a personal trainer,
I'm a construction guy. Home about if you cut hair,
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 you. It's going everybody.
You know what our buddy Addie who cuts our hair

(09:03):
said to me. He said, guys like me I have
very straight hair, right, my hair would splinter in their skin.
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.

(09:24):
Then the rest of the day you just go home.
Anybody you never thought of that? Did you? Good? Wow? Wow? Wow?
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 I
don't know. I'm just thinking like there's certain jobs that

(09:47):
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. 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

(10:10):
work everyday smell like a strange chemical bread smell on
poor sister comes and smelling 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 sandwich somebody sandwich, or someone got bad body owner.
I can't tell. And when my older brother was a

(10:32):
senior in high school, he had a job with Foster
Farms chicken, and he used to come home just wreaking
of like that batter that they 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,

(10:54):
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 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 Monsey for enough day. What's up, Nate? Hey,
what's going on? Guys? Um? Just uh, I didn't quite

(11:16):
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. 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 didversity. Um, I just no

(11:39):
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 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
celt you know, Stephen Clay, you know, such a great
one to punch and they've had this rest. Now while

(12:02):
you got you know, you could maybe your best bet, Nate,
is that Celtic fans hope that they carry this momentum
in the high off the wind to the Bay Area
because truthfully, the 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 playoffs season.
You know. It's like and uh with with the Celtics

(12:24):
coming into this series, I think they're the bigger team.
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

(12:45):
them shoot the threes. And you know, as long as
we're pressing and being the defensive team that we are,
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 your odds would be great.
If you think we don't have we don't have a
horse in the race. I don't have a horse period.
So hey man, I just want to see a good series.

(13:06):
Nothing against your Celtics. Maybe a large dog. Yeah, but
I do think it's 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 going to take on the Rangers.
The puckets have to drop at eight p m. Eastern time.
The Canes are perfect at home this postseason. There are

(13:27):
seven and no while the Rangers on one and five
on the road. A lot of Ranger fans on the
East Coast got the nervous parts right now, New York. Yes,
I know, we'll see what happens. Maybe they can get
this win on the road and maybe you know, the
Canes are out. We'll see. This is the East second

(13:47):
round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. So again a p m.
So at least we have a Game seven today. Always exciting.
Enjoy your enjoy your Dodgers best record in the National
League cause they played my Mets this weekend, so close.
I know. 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

(14:10):
going going this Friday. Yeah, this Friday. You know it's
it's Pride Dodger Stadium. Get out of here. Yeah, it's
gonna 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 those the
special hats like the rainbow heat. I think they're wearing it,
And there's also a giveaway, but you have to purchase

(14:32):
it with not that. If you want to Pride jersey,
it's a Kershaw Pride jersey where the number is in rainbow,
but 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 early, Get there early.
Talk to me I'll put you on the pregame tour.
Talk to me. I will talk to Moncy. You know.

(14:54):
It's the interesting thought talking about the National League. And
I'm glad the Brewers are losing, sorry in 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 do people love to complain about everything? Everything,

(15:17):
I'll get I'll credit the price of gas. Uh, good one.
What else did 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. I said, I'm not a taco.
Oh you can't please everyone. Please everyone? Mony okay with

(15:39):
that one in the barrio, but yeah, you can't. I've
given 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

(15:59):
remember brids 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 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.

(16:21):
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
coming up, and all your feedback right here Coveno and
rich and forgot leave on Fox Sports, Hey lucky you,

(16:44):
thanks for listening. All the benefits Camino and your Memorial
Day gen Xi's at Cavino and Rinch on social media.
The numbers eight seven seven ninete on Fox Let's get interactive.
And by the way, if you're on your way to
a barbecue today, let the guy man his own grill.
Don't be the guy who oversteps. Don't overstep. Now your

(17:07):
place back off. I hate when I have people over.
It's happened to me before. Maybe I just look helpless,
that could be it. You're a terrible example. Have you
seen barbecue photo Davis the Pitmaster, He's the greatest Rich
Davis dr barbecue? Why are you making a team like
I don't have way more capabilities than you do because
you're a clown. You act like you're some sort of

(17:30):
outdoorsmen to what does outdoorsmen have to do with being
able to grow up some good food? Because rill, just
grilled is no what's in that? Grilling is different than barbecue?
All you do is does some burgers and dogs on?
Who can't do that anyway? Some people others you're you're
no better than me. So my pla, I'm gonna I'm
gonna argue I am well that that's fine, says says who? Yeah,

(17:50):
says who put it to a vote. I would do
a taste test and bet he makes the best grilled
hot dogs. Oh yeah, that's a bragging right. My point
was don't but it don't be a Budnski. You know
your best that being a bud inski because you didn't
even let me make my point. If someone's man in
their grill. You're going to their place, leave them alone.

(18:11):
It's rude. I could I could agree with that. Don't.
That's what I'm saying. It's up. Hey, it goes from women.
I know that there's a lot of women that get
very mad when another woman touch to interrupt what they're
doing on the griller, in the kitchen or something. I
do not do. Not interrupt someone in their home is
the bottom. Yeah, no, your no, your place in these
situations that don't show up empty handed, bring something, don't

(18:35):
insult me. We're not even in the same sall, Park,
I didn't even bring you up. Bozoh, you're the one
trying to say I'm the worst griller ever. I don't
think there's a lot of skill involved in that. It's
not like you're you're you're smoking meats or anything. You know.
We we're from the East Coast. A barbecue to us
growing up was your dad throwing some burgers and dogs
on the grill. When you realize there's a lot more

(18:56):
to it, you know a lot about the calling culinary arts.
You You don't think there's a difference of what a
helpless guy could do, even on a grill versus a
guy that knows a little bit of what he's doing.
I mean helping. Hen he calls me helping. You think
that if I gave you, guys, if I gave you
some fat I don't make. I probably grill more than

(19:19):
you do. Bozo I do every day taste test. No,
we can compete with you on this get alife. Oh
my god, that's how Croston because I feel like he'd
give you, give you a hockey put They're they're gonna
drop tonight at eight pm. It's all relative. By the way,

(19:42):
this would be a great time to promote the Cavino
Enriched podcast, which you'll find on Fox Sports Weekends. Yesterday
yesterday's show, these two clowns argued for fifteen good minutes
about grilling. You know, but I was uncomfortab Danny. It's
so relative. You know how any guys from Texas or

(20:03):
you know, in Kansas City or in Idaho or where
people really barbecue, Because I have like thinking that are
there in La Capital. They take it serious, so I
know that. So I'm just giving them props. You just
lost the argument that listen to Rich and they're like,
are you kidding me? This guy doesn't know anything about

(20:25):
smoking meats or ribs or burn hands or briskets or
any any ten thousand dollar taste test. Dude, you know,
but your money where your mouth. You're not pulling port
bro put your money. You pulling everybody's chain right now,
like you're the X ten thousand dollars. Guy thinks he's
Dr Ray Lampy, like he's side by side with Guy Fieri.
On the food note, I've been to Guy's house and
I've cooked with a Yeah, we want a little five

(20:46):
for that. You watched the dishes that a barbecue good
for you? Bridch days everybody, anyway, enjoy your Memorial Day.
Someone won't put their money with their mouths. My simple point,
you know what I'm not because I'm not. I'm not
taking your bait a b games. I got better things
to do then take you on a grilling competition. So
if you gave us the same cuts some meat, whether

(21:07):
they be steaks, even burgers or anything, and said, prepare
it for Danny g Don Brown Monsey and said present
a Memorial Day feast? Can I get in on this bet?
Spot you? I feel like I feel like it would
clearly I think the order would clearly be spot make
him out on top, but you are a far lass
place and based on nothing, based on zilch, Like, what

(21:28):
proof do you have of that? Put your money with
your mouth? What proof do you have of that? I've seen?
Does he make his own? The greatest guy everybody, the
greatest guy of all time? Memorial Day, we celebrate Rich anyway,
Happy Memorial Day, enjoy your cookount. I simply said, no,
your place at someone else's house. That's all I was saying.

(21:49):
I agree with that. And now we get into some
you think that was heated, Wait till you get into this,
Colin Catherine. I'm reading our feedback and someone based on
a conversation you had last hour, just want to throw
it in there because it's a really good one. At
Cobeno Rich at Fox Sports Radio, lots of great feedback.
We appreciate you guys being part of this most interactive show.
People saying today the crew we got going f and classic. Yeah,

(22:14):
fun time. Everyone a to click on the tongue salute
nice because you know you can't use tongs without clicking
them twice. Rich doesn't know that. What does he know?
Our buddy Everyboddy, Kevin and Seattle goes. You know, we
need our old buddy friend of Comino, rich Guy Fieri
to slap Coveno back at the Flavor Town if he
thinks he knows how to grill um. Oh yeah, because
Rich is the expert. Give me a break. Rich is

(22:38):
the expert of wearing flip flops and shorts that are
too short for a grown man. What is he the
expert off? We have to do a grill off this
if he Rich the expert that makes Dino nuggets every night.
I discovered CARNI discovered craped was take both of you spot.

(23:04):
That's why it's a relative. I'm like, how is this guy?
Don if I not known for cooking at all? Don
coming at me? Don If I argued you, I could
beat you, and I don't know a free throw contest,
and then and then you said I could beat you,
but I won't do it. I'm not trying to hear
all that. I'm not the one do it or do it?
Do it or don don't listen at him. That was

(23:26):
a dumb example because he's the one challenging me. I'm
not challenging him. If I was challenging him, but I
didn't want to do it, then he has a point. Stupid,
I hear that. I hear that. But if you are
sure of the victory, why I'll tell you why. I
have nothing to prove through this numb skull nothing coun

(23:49):
He knows a big fight. Really, he loves boxing, he
loves mm A, and he loves all the trash talk
leading up to a fight. And he's like, Yo, this
guy needs to be you know who needs to shut
up this weekend? Who won? You watched the tank Davis? Yeah,
thank Davis. You know he's gonna give Garcia your problems,
give me the loves, all the trash talk with UFC

(24:09):
boxing everything. But when I say you challenge me to
a grill off, He's like, you noll do time? I
don't get time for time? What do you mean? I
don't know? Why do I want to do that? I
wasn't bragging what I want to do. Why don't you
challenge Spot if you're so confident? I never said I
was the grill master, Sorry pitt master. I didn't know. Yeah,
if you're so common to challenge the guy who's actually

(24:31):
known for it, are Buddy's spawn? Right here? This like
the ultimate deflection. Let's move on. How is the delimantlection
telling you you stink at something and you're like, no,
I don't. Can you tell me something that's like, I'm
bad at something that anyone in the moon could do.
You're not barbecuing, you're grilling. There's no skill in that.
If you sloke a piece of meat, he hasn't. Oh yeah,

(24:56):
we're in Texas. I m from texting you personally. Oh
my god, I rubbed a piece of meat. No, he
watched his when my wife's out of town, lit up
some wood chips. You mean smoked meat Davis, that's they
call him, and brought it to temp. You had to
cook for yourself. Oh yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, and

(25:16):
cooked it rich for for twelve to thirteen hours. You
did this yourself without any assistance. No, I'm I was.
I was learning, But he's never forget it. You know what,
if you don't want to do the Coveno Rich Fox
Sports Radio summer blast off, Coke ever said I was
the best at it. If you're so confident because you're

(25:37):
saying you're Mr. Perfect, you're Mr Wonderful, You're dr Barbecue
the pit Master Davis. If you're so good because I
never said I was make my own dry row. I
know better than you at what wearing flip flops. I'll
give you that. That's about mony must be thinking this
guy wet or dry? Rub Oh, that's a good question.

(26:00):
I like honestly, I think ribs. I like a dry
rob rip. Well, actually, hold on for you. I have
a question for you though. This this this is actually
look like hold on, hold on pause for a second
before we talk Colin Kaepernick and and and you know,
get the phones going. People are heading to the barbecue today,

(26:22):
the grill out, the cook out, whatever. Right, there's a
game seven tonight, Rangers Hurricanes. How do you balance a game?
Maybe you're watching the Mets game, Mets Nationals, well, whoever
else is playing today, the Cubs are playing. How do

(26:42):
you balance the game and music and a barbecue. It's
a great question. I think. My my answer, I mean,
I feel like you're destined to disagree with everything I
say for the last fifteen years of our life. I think,
I think, I say, you're the greatest anomal words. I
think music. That's me. I think music, chill music at
a barbecue. Some good background music takes takes precedent over

(27:02):
the game. On mute, unless, of course, the majority of
people there. Let's say you live in Miami and it
was last night and everyone's wanting in the heat Celtics game.
That's one thing I think it sounds of the game
are are fun. That sounds the game, but it sounds
like kind of fun if it's everyone. Now, if it's
a playoff game and everyone there. Let's say you're in
the Bay Area and everyone there is like Go Warriors,

(27:23):
and everyone's way into it, think you put the volume on.
But if you've got mixed company and kids and wives
and girlfriends, you know what, you keep the music on
and you mute the TV, but have it on. Yeah,
if you can make a TV as I assume most
cookouts are outside, So if you can make it where
either like in the window, or you can get like
a portable TV to bring outside. Most tv is are portable,

(27:44):
then you can do that and have it silent with
music going. But to have the game audio overpowering when
you're trying to talk to people, because it's not music
can be in the background. Even if you know the song,
it can still be in the background and you can
talk over music. I like it when the closed caption
is on right, That's that's good. That's fine if you

(28:05):
can swing that. But to talk over someone else talking
about a game, it just doesn't work. Again, we all agree,
so it must be fact if you're having a cookout today,
So don't be that kind. You got the game on,
you have your patio TV or what are they called
sun Bright TVs? Whatever TV you got rocking outside, have

(28:27):
it on you subtitles, by the way, I watched everything
on subtitles nowadays, I don't know. I like something one
of those little inflatable projection screens and a little projector
for the game outside music spots. Spending everyone else's money. Again,
they're cheap. Those are cheap on Amazon. They're not as
expensive as they used Well, TVs are cheap. I just
bought my mother a new TV. I think you bought

(28:48):
her a monitor though. You got to be clear on that.
You know, you always dismissed that. But there's a difference,
meaning there's no tuner anymore. I mean they're more expensive
when you buy that. I got my mother two hundred
something dollars a fifty inch TV from my mom's place
and she could watch her Netflix or Hulu or Amazon
everything two hundreds on the bucks are fifty inch, So
there's no excuse, as you always say when you have

(29:10):
people over if you're rocking some thirty two inch little
Doo Doo TV. Yeah, I'm not coming come in here
cook out again. So what is the what's the rule
right now? Don't butt in on there on someone else's grill,
unless of course they ask you. Right, you know it's
they're grilled a man, don't man someone else's grill. And

(29:33):
you should have the TV on, mute, the game on,
the music at a nice level. The more thing. By
the way, can I tell you something? Yeah, I'm still
you know, I'm still thinking about what I'm still thinking
about the great Fox Sports Radio cook out where we
get Don Danny g Moncy, Ralph Irvan. They don't want

(29:53):
your bland ass meats, Colin Doug Gottlieb invide them all over.
We should I want and money on the mine get
its sponsored by didn't then they shouldn't have yours. Then Yeah,
you don't know anything, but you want you want the big.
If you don't want it, that just means you're not
accepting the challenge. Because I'm not the one bragging about
my skills here to me, grill and a hot Putting

(30:15):
a hot dog on the grill is not even worth
like fighting over. You're the one that's so confident in
your in your you could flip by hamburger better than anybody.
You think all hamburgers are created equal to take on spot.
I'm not taking your cards. He's not the challenge, is you,
big milk. No, he's the challenge because he's good at it.
He's he's a he's an actual cook. Are Buddy Spots
an actual cook? But I feel like that's not You're

(30:36):
playing fields a little bit more level. I think I
think we're I think it's very clear that I'm closer
to your level of cookie than him. I'm the grill.
You know you cooking. Maybe you know you're the best.
You're the best of getting take out because you get
it like five times a week. You let me tell
you something brown. Let me tell you something don brown.

(30:59):
This is interesting. It was within the last five years
Coveno learned how to scramble an egg for his daughter.
In fact, not learned, like it became a routine. I
never did, never did it before. I never really scrambled.
You never scrambled an egg scrambled things, don't really you
never scrambled an egg until you were forty? Is that
a fact that you never had a trip and jelly sandwich?
You're twenty seven. I didn't like eggs, really, so did?

(31:21):
You never cooked an egg until you were fourty? Didn't
really eat For some reason, that peanut butter and jelly
at seven sounds way word but it did though. Right, Well,
if you don't want to take part in what could
be the most epic Fox Sports Radio cookout events, that's
I don't think anyone's really missing out on sponsors. Anyone's
real Yeah, you don't know you're missing out opportunity, dollar signs.

(31:48):
You don't see it. We're Cavino and rich In forgotle
Memorial Day. I hope you're enjoying your day off. It's
Fox Sports Radio and I want to tuck Colin Kampernick
Okay and his jersey sales. So think about this. I'm
I'm thinking, think about it. I'm thinking, and how is

(32:08):
it gonna be received? If he's on the Raiders practiced
last week? You think it's gonna be a high selling
jersey or not at all? I have a theory on
Capernick in general, you can't get to it all next
right here? Coven On Rich and Forgot leab on Fox
Sports Radio. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk
lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at
Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart

(32:30):
Radio app. Search f s R to listen live La
La la Yeah, good song. Uh. I hate when you
love songs and realize they're old, old song. Now counting crows,

(32:50):
coven On Rich and Forgot leave on Fox Sports Radio.
I have a take on some baseball in New York Mets.
We're gonna get to you a little bit. Is it
a mild take? It's uh no, It's like Diablo at
Taco Bell. Are you sure about that? Don't overpromise and underproduce?
Did you? Uh? Do you ever have a Mexican pizza yet? No, man,
I don't do that. You haven't tried the Mexican pizza

(33:12):
since it Mexican, or have pizza? I don't need that.
It's crap. Anyway, he was insulted meat and every Taco
Bell lover out there. Hold on, let's wrap up our
previous conversation. Remember we were talking about how you couldn't
control yourself at the Mexican restaurant, which I witness firsthand
all the time, eats baskets of of tortilla chips like

(33:35):
they're running out of style. So what is the most
uncontrollable moment for you? Is it a basket of bread
at a steak counselor an Italian restaurant? Is a chips
and salsa? Maybe something at a ball game? Something come
to mind there? Because I can't resist the ice cream
and a helmet. I ordered the extra large John al

(33:56):
Rood helmet. I'm like the big David right, I'll have
the John oh Roud. Yeah, vanilla chocolate, yes, with extra sprinkles, Yes,
fudge yep, John old Rood size, please thank you. Yeah.
You know what We're just saying. How you go to
a Mexican spot and you have you loose Essentially you
lose control. That is when it comes down to where

(34:17):
do you lose the most control? Um, let's go to
your phone calls, your feedback spot. I know you put
a poll up on Twitter at Covin on Rich at
Fox Sports Radio some of the league leaders so far.
The cheddar bab Biscuits at Red Lobster, Texas Roadhouse with
the cinnamon butter endless bread sticks at Olive Guard and

(34:37):
Danny G. You're saying would ranch out here on the
West coast, they got, They got like biscuits with a barbecue. Yeah,
so these garlic roles are insane. Like I've seen people
show up and sit at the bar and just order
the rolls and dip the rolls into the barbecue sauce.
There would ranch and that's all they'll order. Yeah, the
thought of it's making me really hungry right now. I'm
not gonna lie. I mean it is. You guys are

(34:58):
enjoying they feast. We're here in the studio right it
is a three day weekend. You can really eat what
you want. That's the rule. Right now. You could justify
anything for today. So maybe we have to stop by later.
But let's get to the phone. All right, let's say
what's up, too Low in Vegas? Hello, what's up? What's up?
What's up? Where are you? Uncontrollable? Well, first of all,

(35:19):
what I noticed about y'all is what if you were
talking about is the free food? So free? Uncontrollable is
where you are talking, no doubt. But for me and
my family, we love the all you can eat sushi,
can't stop, can't stop. Yeah, you know what, I'm amazed
how much my wife could eat. When we go to
all you could Eat Sushi place, like I'll have the

(35:41):
usual I s role. My wife will be like bring
out more. I'm like, what do you? What type of
beast you? Yeah, it's like my daughter and you should
see how much how many takis and bags of takies
my daughter eats, like maybe because she's growing, because she's twelve,
or those blue bag doritos. It's un control like kids

(36:01):
and talkies are uncontrollable. Where do you lose control? I
mean if you want to go outside of restaurants and
now you're adding snack foot to the mix. Very hard
for me to open a big bag like sour patch
anything not just be a disgusting slob. Thank you, lo.
Let's get a Solomon in l A. What's up Solomon?
Hey guys, I'm good. Before I talk about Game seven

(36:24):
and Jimmy Butler steak fries well done and catch up?
O good steak fry underrated. Waiting for someone to bring
up fries. I mean they're pretty hard to resist. Was
thinking to Donald because Fox Sports Radio, I'm thinking like
any stadium, like garlic fries, like any of that's just
uncontrollably unresistible. They set that plate down and the eyes

(36:46):
get big. Regarding regarding Game seven and Jimmy Butler hands
down m v P and the talk is and the
talk is, well, you can't give it to him. He's
on the losing team. I'm an old dude. I remember
Jerry West, Lakers fan. They gave it to Jerry. Maybe
they should just stop that and give it to the
guy that deserves it. How this guy did it with
that rag tag team on bad knees, dude off, that

(37:10):
would have been that would have been a solid move
out of appreciated that. I'm sure he would have appreciated
you know what, you think he would have. He would
have been more mad about losing. But Solomon, I heard
calher and make the point. And just like everyone else
is without Jimmy Butler, Miami is not even in this
without anyone on and playing her without so much involved

(37:31):
in that take away, anyone on the Celtics. They could
compete Without Jimmy Butler, Miami doesn't even make it five games.
Thank you, man, Thank you. Fox eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox were Cavino and Rich Hello, Jim Los Angeles?
What up? Hey man? The buscuits and Lucille's barbecue with

(37:53):
almond butter man, you got this. I hate these conversations.
Just get me wanting to become a slab the minute
we leave the studio. But Low was right a lot
of this. The best answers are the free ones. Jim's
right there, You've got some good biscuits. Rig Robbie, Oh yeah,
really know. I was gonna say, like, you know, when
it comes to like the standard answer Red Robin used

(38:17):
to have the unlimited French fries. Okay, okay, on on
that taco bell, note that mer stomach a little bit.
I'm a Gordon the Crunch type of guy. I feel
I feel you. I'm good on Man, thank you, thanks
for nic We appreciate and James day man. Uh Scott
and so cal what's up Scott, Scott? A yes, Scott,

(38:40):
how are you? I'm good man. This is kind of
a call back to your previous conversation involves Kobe Bryant. Um,
you guys are talking about be careful who's around you
when you're talking. Yeah, man, that was the reminder there. Yeah,
that was one of Kobe Bryant's and bodyguards, and Uh,
I was sitting with three other as it worked the

(39:00):
same detail after the championship was the last time I
did it. Anyway, We're at a restaurant in Hermosa Beach
and we're all sitting around the table and I was
kind of lamenting, how challenging, and I'll just put it
that way to be nice. It was working with Kobe
as compared to working with Powe, who I also worked with,
and Um. At that time, the Lakers were in training

(39:22):
camp in London, so the four of us were sitting there. Now,
we all had a similar experience, but mine was the
most recent. And all of a sudden, Uh, somebody from
the bar walked over with the phone and said the
youth got I said, yeah, he said, phone call for
you and it was my boss in London. Someone in
that restaurant called him and said I was bad mouth
and Kobe again. You never know who's listening. You never know.

(39:46):
It's like it's like when you said It's like when
you say something. Nowadays, it's like social media is listening.
Like you can be talking about vacuums and all of
a sudden you're like, why do my Facebook ants have vacuums? Yes,
and not only when they hear certain key words, right,
and and that's just how it works. And and this
guy heard you talking about Kobe and his ears perked

(40:08):
up the mental note. You know certain words stand out.
Sometimes you gotta be careful, man. The reality cove is
that people are listening. Social media's listening. Everybody, everyone's listening,
careful listening. I'm being serious. I just stupidly said vacuums.
I promise you someone's gonna have a vacuum add on
their on their like TikTok, maybe getting Hoover updates. It's

(40:29):
the truth. It's like, how does this happen? Didson the
Mike Dyson? Dyson, So let me ask you a question.
I know you've talked about this before, and I feel like,
not that you're not that you takes thinks on it,
but achieve thanks for talking about Yeah. Oh no, he
has multiple takes that I think is think but Conos

(40:51):
a Yankees fan, so the echues are always winning. I'll
give him that. He works for good tasks. We just
had a conversation to remind people that you realize that
people are listening, right, way to discredit anything he says.
By saying his stakes, he discredits himself to clown this guy,
it's like to hear himself talk about nonsense. You tune
it in. Take stink, stink. They stink like they stink

(41:14):
like when I worked at Windy's in high school. Like
meat sounds like a subway sandwich with onions. The I'll
give Communo credit because he's a Yankees fan and historically
they just win, right or give me or discredit, make
up your mind. I'm giving you credit as you root
for a good team and and listen, it's it's way
easier to stay involved when your team is good. Over

(41:35):
the years, the Yankees have been deep at times where
a star player goes down and just miraculously, some god
you've never heard of enters the mix and starts batting
three hundred hitting bombs out of Yankee Stadium, Like you're
met Nick Plummer last night, who I never heard of him?
With a big home run. I mean, I wonder if

(41:57):
he does anything more than that one home run. But
you're right, it's the Yankees have been historically known at
least just you know, being a guy that grew up
in New York being a Mets fan, the Yankees always
will have a situation where star player goes down and
instead of their replacement struggling, it's like some no name
starts batting three D and now they have the problem

(42:17):
of we have too many good players. That is true,
that that does happen a lot. Happened to the Yankees
more than anyone else. I really, I promise you that
everyone thinks they're closer stinks. That's the truth. But when
it comes to this thing, you're right it. This happens
to only the Yankees for some reason so often. Rich
You're gonna hate me for this. But remember that guy
who it was, the local story, local kid from the Bronx.

(42:38):
He got called up, he started playing great. I forgot
his name. Yeah, because it happens a whole time. It
happened last year. He's no longer with the team. I
think he's on the Angels now. So before we get
into the update, let me post the question and we'll
come back and talk about it all bit. When the
star player goes down and the and the backup guys,
of the replacement guys start doing real well, how do

(43:01):
you manage the return of the superstar. Is it do
you give any regard to the guy that's really been
filling in? Do you find a place for him? Is
it like, hey, you did your job later, pal, I'm
talking about my Mets because the Mets, regardless of losing
Shures are for like almost two months, regardless for Jacob

(43:21):
deGrom not picking up baseball this year, we're talking about
two guys that are Cy Young Award winning. You would argue,
if healthy, Camino de gram and Shares are are probably
two of the top five to ten pictures in baseball.
They're healthy easily, easily two of the top ten, you
could say, two of the top five or six maybe,
and neither are playing. And the Mets have an eight

(43:44):
and a half game lead in the East, one of
the best teams in baseball. So what does that say
about when they return? Well, well, I want to dive
into a little bit book, Honci. I want to hear
what's going on in the world of baseball today, because
that's only what that's all that's going on really, right, Yes,
you make a good point about your Mets though, that
they're doing it without their two biggest pictures. You want incredible.

(44:06):
You wonder what's gonna happen when they come back. By
no means do you ever doubt putting them right back in.
But I mean, they're doing so well with Adham, it's
a weird feeling. It's like, does that mean they're only
going to get better when you add two aces, right?
Or is they going to ruin the flow right? Because
sometimes the team plays strong and four pitchers and I
don't know. It's a good question. It's a good thing.

(44:28):
There's so much baseball left in the season, so we're
gonna be talking about something completely different in one month.
We will see what happens. Yeah, we definitely have baseball
going on. That's the only thing going on. Like you said,
the Cardinals are beating the Padres sixty two. The Padres
put Manny Machado back in the starting lineup today. He
missed the last two games with elbow sore. Now he's
gone over four and they're down by four, so we'll

(44:51):
see if he can pick it up a little bit.
The Phillies are edging out the Giants to to zero
in the top of the six. We got the Astros
blanking out the Athletics Spoor to zero, and the Marlins
still beating the Hockeys by just one in the bottom
of the fifth. Two games have finished already. The Brewers
beat the Cubs in game one of their double header.
Their second game is going to start at seven forty
Eastern time, but they took game one seven to six,

(45:11):
and the Tigers already beat the Twins seven to five
as well. Guys, I just found out do you know
who Nil Long is? The actress? Do you know do
you know who she's dating? I just found this out.
Who email Udoka, the head coach of the Celtics. That
was not my first guess. I that was not your

(45:32):
number one guest on the board. I had no idea.
Apparently they've actually been together since two thousand and ten.
They recently got engaged, but I had I am to
day years old when I found this out. I I
can't believe it, and I actually wanted to bring up
the Celtics because I think the coolest story with them
at advancing to the two thousand are advancing to the
twenty twenty two NBA Finals, even though they haven't been

(45:53):
there since two thousand and ten. It is actually Al
Horford who was drafted in two thousand and seven. He
was the third were all picked a pick, and he's
finally going to the finals. And I love what he
said after the game. This is what he said yesterday
at you know what, I'm just just caught off excited. Um,
you know a lot of hard work. I've been a

(46:15):
part of a lot of great teams, a lot of
great teammates, and and I'm so proud of this group.
But can you imagine like you've been blamed for so
long and you finally made it. I get that. How
do I react? It's like Inteladaga nights. What do I
do with my hands? I don't know what to do
with my hands? You know it's it's I do love
when you know the veteran all star level guy after
I mean, you're right, he's been playing in the league

(46:36):
for a long time. Two thousand seven. I wasn't graduating
from high school all those years with Atlanta where it's
like Rich had a full hairline. I still badly want
to fire back, but I'll let you continue. Don't interrupt her, No,

(46:58):
please go ahead. What do you have to say A lot?
I can't mediate the two thousand So all right, UM,
back to al Horford. I don't know what I can
say on the air. Alright, Al Horford, Honestly, I'm really
happy for him because he really honestly, look at the stats,
look at the many game so well also right now,

(47:21):
like all these playoffs, you know, he stepped up. He
stepped up when Jayson Tatum was dying because he was
so tired. So just a great performance. So happy for him,
and the story was great. Actually, they're going to face
the Warriors. The last time the Warriors and the Celtics
faced off in the NBA Finals was in nineteen sixty, yam,
So it's gonna be a big one. And another big

(47:42):
one later today. Game seven Stanley Cup playoffs between the
Canes and the Rangers. We'll see who takes that. Even
though the Canes are perfect at home this postseason seven
and oh they were not good on the road, and
neither one of the Rangers or one in five, so
nothing like a game seven, you know what. A casual
hockey fan like me will definitely be tuning in for sure,

(48:02):
you know, absolutely on tonight tune into any Game seven
for sure for sure. So looking forward to that. Got
some plans later on and afterwards. You could check up
on on Obi Wan Kenobi or stranger things. I'm still debating.
I don't know. Well, I got a good question for you, Cove,
that's a good one. I got a doozy. It's a
it's a doozy, not a snoozy. By the way, Monsy

(48:24):
mentioned Manny Machado. I wanted to look up his stats
because I'm like, you know, I I followed baseball pretty closely.
I haven't heard the chatter that you should hear about
having a big year. Yeah, he's having a big year,
and he's one of those guys year after year, like
he has not had a down year. Really he is.
I mean well, actually, when she talked about the Cardinals
over the pondres right now, I started thinking about Albert

(48:47):
Poolholes and how nobody's talking about see no one. I
have tendencies of O. C. D Rich. I'm not trying
to downplay people that really suffer from it, right, But
part of my my thought ross this is like I
want pool Holes to get seven hundred home runs so
badly because if he sits anywhere below that, it's gonna
bother me. Like if he ends with like six nineties, again,

(49:10):
Rod had like six fathers the hell out of me,
and I'm not a rod right, pool Holes is at
six eight three. He needs seventeen home runs. And when
you're that, you know he's a streaky hitter. He could
should I hope he gets seventeen home runs just for that,
Like I think no one's talking about the fact that,
you know, I think he's still in it just for

(49:31):
the seven hundred home runs. Oh, they don't know what
bothers Cavino, Danny j listen to this one. I know
this bothers the hell out of Coveno Andrea Escalera. Remember
the Big Cat played for years in Colorado, three hundreds
Like you try, like Coo is thinking, like yo, he
couldn't sign with someone for like it's a pinch hit

(49:52):
a roll for half a season. There's a few of
those like ah, he was so close that Dale Murphy
from Our Child Del Murphy. That's terrible and so far.
Just for the you know sake of conversation. Pool Hales
has four home runs, but a guy like Kim could
get streaky. Could he get seventeen more? I don't know.
But if he gets like fifteen more, fourteen more, he

(50:15):
goes ahead of a run. Yeah, but still like that's
still like does he stick around one more year. Just
to have four home runs seven is a big There's
a big difference there, Bonds steroid accusations are not the
fact that Barry Bonds has seven hundred and sixty two
and he was walked a million times later in his
career unbelievable. But but you know your boy man nim Machado,

(50:38):
all those years in the Al East, wasting away with
the Oriels, you know he's on on an impact team
this year. You know, I remember he played for a
minute with the Dodgers too, my doozy for you had
had a doozy I had to do with the NBA. Yeah,
but you were in the middle of a baseball conversation.
You know what, I have two conversations going on. Let
me get to the Mets one first, I don't give
you my doozy when you have guys, like you said,

(51:04):
filling in but not just filling in and and like
playing mediocre, when you've got guys that are actually delivering
when the when stars come back and the team slumps,
you can't blame the stars, can you? What do you
just blame them? Like maybe the team plays up a
little more when they know when you know that is going,

(51:25):
there's a party that subconsciously it's probably all right. If
we scored two or three, we win the game. When
you got some spots starter like Peterson or someone throwing,
they might think, like, you know, we need to deliver
for him tonight, even if he's subconsciously. I don't know,
there's like some weird unwritten, untangiblely can't put your finger
on why the team plays harder or scores more, plays

(51:46):
different for different pictures. Maybe, like you said, there's a
subconscious feeling that the team has that well, you know,
the Groms on the mound or Derrett Coles on the mound.
So we don't have to we don't have to worry
that much because even if we scored two runs, we
should be good. I wonder, because what's gonna happen is
in about a month from now, knock on what the

(52:06):
gramin chairs that will be back. And if the Mets
right now are in the mix for like the best
record in the National League a game or still behind
the game and happy behind the Dodgers for the best
record in the NL, what happens when they get back
to cy young caliber guys, you would assume you would
assume they're unbeatable. But or I could promise you know
what will happen. The Gramin shirts will come back and
the Mets get cold for the first time. I just

(52:28):
feel it does seem that way. It really does. And
and Monty touched on it too. There's a chemistry thing there.
You know, they played different, there's a different vibe. People
are connecting in a different way. You can't really put
your finger on why that happens. Sadly around like the injury,
in a way, they pull together because more weights on

(52:48):
us and they deliver. And you know, the other plus
side of that conversation is the people that are filling
in build a value for themselves, you know, for the future,
and they get to prove themselves. The guy I made reference,
I said, it happens to the Yankee so often. I
forget some of the guys that stepped up because it
happens so often. Remember last year's Cinderella story Andrew Velasquez, Yeah,

(53:09):
I don't remember. He was, you know, the local kid,
got a chance to play, and he was delivering in
a big way. I mean, you know, got a chance,
got an opportunity, played well. They rallied behind him, the team,
you know, the team finds something else to rally behind,
Like we saw the Mets rally behind Plumber last night
with a big home run, so maybe that's part of
it too. It's fun to get behind players like that,

(53:30):
but then they build value for themselves. And Velasquez is
on the Angels now, so that's what happens to that player.
But what happens to the team is really interesting, and
I hope they don't get cold when your players come back.
Well A deep thought next. That has to do with
the NBA and the Golden State Warriors, So hang time.
More caving on Rich next
