Dose Sun?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah? What up?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Though?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
So it's like your dad, you start pluralizing everything. Yeah,
that's the East Coast vibe in me. Man, that's how
we say it. We're going to talk. It's from the
ti rack dot Com studios, tire rack dot com. We'll

(01:43):
we're just a couple of days away. Dicky Doodle Davis.
I know, we're trying to figure out what I'm going
to download for the flight. We're going to Eugene, organ
Graduate Hotels live broadcast from two to four local and
then an after show happy hour. And it's interesting because
I saw Instagram Someone's like, oh man, I get off
of work at four thirty, and I was like, yeah, perfect,

(02:04):
head over after for the party. Yeah, we're gonna be hanging,
so join us in Eugene, Oregon. Live broadcast. We're actually
gonna bring it to you live, so if you can't
make it, you'll hear the fun here on Fox Sports Radio.
But again that's this Friday from Oregon Graduate Hotels and
then we're doing the same exact thing the following Friday,
the twenty fourth and ten p Arizona. So we'll see
you there. But stick around today because we got midweek Major.

(02:26):
Spotty's got the biggest stories in sports and pop culture
are the headlines and the stories mid Like the kiddos
say week or major. We'll break it down, but let's
go at the wald Rumpers Stark week. They're speaking of rumpus.
Did you hear this story? Oh, ozempic makes people lose
their butt? Yes, that's what I was gonna say. There's

(02:48):
something called ozempic butt. Get this. Fifteen million adults in
the US are on ozempic, which again was originally for
type two diabetes. But people are losing weight every week.
There's like a new side effect. Granted, look if it
helps you, great, but some people are having side effects
and they're saying that a major side effect is yeah,
you're losing weight, but you're losing ass.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
And I'm not a fan of that.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Ohzam big, you lost your So here's my prediction and
I'll leave it at this If people are walking around
like a bunch of flat back zombies, right with ozempic butt,
I see an increase in bbls in the future. So
invest in those BBL drizzies, those Brazilian butt lifts. Put
your money in butt lifts and let's make millions. Yeah,

(03:32):
I'm Sam. Did you start to go fundme for a
butt lift?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Hold on to you, but yes it did.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yes, got it man, But you know what I on
the whole ozempic tip. I gotta be honest. If people
are trying to lose ten or twenty pounds, I don't
know if Ozepic's the way, but there's a lot of
big people and I'm not saying that rudely. If you're
three four hundred pounds and you could drop a hundo
and get yourself in better shape, lower your cholesterol, blood pressure,

(03:57):
blood sugar. Yeah, if your life's depending on it, this
is a great option. If you gotta lose ten to
fifteen pounds.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I got an idea.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Hit the gym, you can take a walk. You don't
want stuff in your fat face. You don't want ozempic face,
ozempic butt. Ozempic fat is saying you don't want ozempic butt.
You don't want to deal with the side effects if
you don't have to the potential side effect you have
you heard about the other one too? What I'm not
trying to be crude. There's a study I saw about
ozempic boobs. What's that? It sounds terrible? Where think about it?

(04:25):
If you're losing fat, women are saying that they're like deflated.
Oh you're losing fat in all the wrong places here? Yeah,
well you say, I have you nailed it. It's the
places you don't want to lose fat like women are
like weight.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
But you can do a Brazilian butt lift and make
your butt bigger and burn fat.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
You can't decide where the weight's gonna come from, right,
where you're gonna lose it.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yes, you can't.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's called spot reduction, right, you can't choose like, well,
I just want to lose it in my gut. Now
you lose it in your butt, then maybe your gut
if you're lucky. So beware that being said, let the
wild rumpus continue. Spot reduction. Isn't that what you recommended
in our contract negotiation?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I did?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
I said, let's spot please, thank you anyways is on
the phones with Danny g super producing eight seven ninety
nine on Fox. So a lot to get to NBA.
Maybe we'll touch on Kaitlin Clark. Today's a huge day.
The NFL schedule the worst kept secret in the world.
But we get the official release release five o'clock out

(05:24):
here on the West coast, eight o'clock East Coast. Now
the NFL is king, so they can put together a
special releasing a schedule and millions of people will watch,
just proving what we've been saying all along. NFL Numero
uno in the United States. Now, Danny, you already told
me that I'm hearing new things every second. Black Friday,
Silver and Black Friday. Last football season we threw that out.

(05:46):
There were like NFL offices, Mark Davis, you need to
lean into that and make it a Silver and Black Friday.
I think the Raiders should host it every year.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Too, And this year it's going to be Raiders Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's a good one. So you're hearing all these random
fun games, little crumbs, Yeah, but the offacial release get
little tidbits along the way.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Netflix has a couple of Christmas Day games.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Like NFL stopped teasing us. You know what it's like,
It's like a movie trailer that tells you too much.
Were you like, do I even need to see this
movie anymore?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
You mean all movie trailers in these days, they gave
away way too much of the meeting.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
You know what, This is my buddy Alb's theory. I
know we're jumping all over the place today, but my
buddy Alb always says, if there's a movie he knows
he wants to see, then he's not gonna watch the
trailer because the trailer just ruins it for you, if
you know in your heart of hearts. Yeah, I'm already
gonna go see the Planet of the Apes. Don't watch
the trailer because it's gonna show you all the best parts. Yeah,
it's a good point. So we're gonna get to all

(06:40):
that NFL schedule, NBA playoffs, and just like that, I
feel bad for our friends in Minnesota, our boss, all
the te Wolves fans who felt in control just like
days ago, and now it's like, oh and my Yankee
smacked the Twins around yesterday. So oh you know what,
let me write this down all yeah, real quick, I
have a the or wasn't a good day hold on,

(07:02):
I don't want to get on your case today, but
Covino gripe. All right, I'll get to that in a
few seconds. Well, geez, if you want to play that game,
no laundry. Listen right now.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
You don't need to play by you.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
So I want to start with last night's Knicks Pacers game,
not because it was the best game, unless you're Jalen Brunson,
who is just proving everyone in the NBA wrong. And again,
we love to criticize when people make mistakes, but no
one is going to give the Knicks front off his
credit by going after this guy. When Mark Cuban very

(07:36):
well said, I don't want to give this guy what
was like fifty over three years, but another forty point
game after a pretty crappy game, he comes back totally
redeems himself Knicks with the big win one twenty one
ninety one over the Pacers.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
I heard someone say this morning that Cuban should be
the Knicks executive of the year.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's funny.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I mean, Cuban makes a lot of great decisions, but
I mean sometimes you don't see everything. So I get it. Listen,
looking at every draft, every free agency, there's hits and misses.
Sometimes it's a fit, you know. Sometimes it's just about
right place, right time. But what fun is it having
a national radio show if you can't embarrass one of

(08:14):
your friends once in a while. That's out of the
fun of it, right, Knowing that we're on hundreds of
radio stations around the country, and I could poke fun
at my butt a little bit. So my buddy Chris,
who lives in Connecticut, he does really well at his job.
I won't call out what company works for because I
don't want to embarrass him more, but he's pretty important

(08:35):
at the company he works for.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
And he goes, oh, he's the one that works at
the Pentagon.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Pentagon Chris. He works for a company
that said we need yet entertain this big time client.
And he's a personable guy, funny guy. He's like, I
have second row seats on the floor to the Knicks Pacers, serious,
second row, just not paid. Like this is a big

(09:01):
game that's pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Like a for real.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
He goes, I'm not joking. I see him go on
Instagram live before the game. I'm like, oh my god,
he ain't bsen. He's like walking on the court and
as the game goes on, my buddy Chris is sending
me pictures and selfies. He's like Tracy Morgan, he's taking selfies.

(09:25):
Spike Lee, turn around, buddy, click click click. Dude, he
asked Billie Eilish to FaceTime his kids. He's like Ben Stiller,
what's up? My man hugging Ben Stiller. I'm like, what
are you doing?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
So I got it.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I'm a little jealous because my daughter is a huge
Billy Ilish fan. Did she do it? I think she
took a picture and was like, yeah, God, that's insane.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
So my question is this.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Totally embarrassingly overstepping or funny as hell his stances? Dude,
I don't care. I'm a fan at the games. There's
Ben Stiller, there's Billie Eilish, Tracy Morgan. I'm gonna get
someone pregnant. He's taking selfies or Tracy Morgan. And his
whole thought is.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
What do I care?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
That was a great Tracy Morgan. I thought he was
here for up Astronaut Jones.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Tracy Morgan, Trivia Next Hour.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Tracy Morgan's great been on our show name Trump. But
for real, I told him, I go, yo, you are
so embarrassing, as the kids would say, you're so cringe,
and he's like his whole take on cringe when adults
say you're so cringe, I think so yeah, I think
so too. But my take was you're a girl, man,

(10:41):
stop it. His take was, I'm second rout the Knicks game.
Beat it. I'm gonna do all the stupid things I
want to do. Hey, Ben Stiller, you want to have
a beer together? The next round's on me. To me,
it's ultimately embarrassing and cringey. He thinks it's hilarious, and hey,

(11:01):
that's the thing to do, So I ask you, it's
all the approach, it sounds to me, and I know
you didn't intend it for it to come across this way.
Sounded to me that your buddy Chris was having a
great time. Yea, he loves having a good time.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I know.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
The question is did he overstep or is it just
fun and funny?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Danny?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
If I said happy birthday, Danny and I had to
do court side of the Lakers, and all of a sudden,
the Kardashians are there, Jack is back for a final game,
all the stars are out?

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Are you and Brenda minding your own? Are you taking selfies.
You got to approach the right celebrity. What did I
tell you Eminem would have done to his phone? He
would have smashed it, smacked out his hand. Yeah, you know,
I think it's on the approach. I think he's on
the person.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
It's who you're stepping two as well, right, But I
think it's about self awareness and knowing how you're coming across.
If your buddy's coming there, playful, having fun. Hey kids,
Look I'm with Billie Eiliss. She turns around. She gets
a nice little laugh out of it. Like, you have
to know your annoyance factor. Some people are more abrasive
than others. If he came across the way you're describing it,

(12:07):
and I noticed guy too, so maybe that is giving
me you funny.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
He's funny.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
He's a harmless, fun and funny guy. It sounds, or
it could be perceived that he's overstepping, but it sounds
to me that it just was a fun atmosphere and
he was taking it all in. Like I know the
sentiment of hey, dude, act like you've been there, But
if you haven't, are you supposed to pretend to not
have a good time. I'm kind of on his side,

(12:32):
to be honest, and I'm not just saying that to
be a contrarian. He's never been there, he's having fun.
Trust the playoffs. Trust me, there's whether you're an adult
or kid, you almost have to be reminded sometimes like
there's ways to act. And here's another layer. Is he
misbehaving or is he having a good time? That's what

(12:52):
you have to ask yourself sometimes you could be misbehaving.
Are you a drunken idiot and you're annoying people, or
are you really just in the moment having a blast.
There's a difference. I'll give one more layer and then
I'm curious what you guys think. At eight, seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox, the fact that the game was
at Madison Square Garden and the Knicks were whooping the

(13:14):
pacers ass the whole time also leaves everyone there in
a really good mood. So if you're court side and
you're Ben Stiller and you're Spike Lee with your jersey on,
and you're Tracy Morgan, I'd imagine they were all very happy.
If someone bothered you, Cavino, not that you're a anyone,
but I'm saying if someone bothered if were you talking

(13:36):
about if someone bothered you see me on music Mayhem,
if someone bothered you at a Yankees game and the
Yankees were crushing instead of let's say someone's bothering you
and the Yankees were getting crushed, you're at your vibe
would probably be doffing. Okay, that's a great factor too. Again,
know the time and the place, know the person. Story
Garden was probably hopping. Let me tie this into other sports.

(13:59):
This is Fox Sports Radio, right. Isn't one of your
biggest criticism Rich and mine, to be honest about teams
like the Yankees and the Dynasty era of the Yankees,
was that they didn't celebrate when they won the Pennant
or when they won the division, or when they won anything,
because it was act like you've been there before, and
you see other teams win it and they're in full

(14:20):
on celebration mode because they haven't. Isn't there a part
of you it's like, hey, it's sports. You're supposed to
celebrate these victories, celebrate these moments, be in the moment,
have fun. Why are you so boring about it? One
of the criticism I have was the Yankees weren't celebrating
moments they should have been celebrating at a certain point.
So I do see a time and a place when

(14:41):
you're supposed to act like you've been there. But in
an atmosphere like this, to me, you're supposed to celebrate,
you have fun. You know what, I'm man enough to
say that, I'm I allow my opinion to be swayed
if the argument's good enough, and you know what, the
more thinking about it, playoff atmosphere, you're high five in
and bro hugg drunk fans, Yeah, let's go nixt let

(15:02):
me that just so has it just so happens he's
sitting next to Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
There's an exception here, though. If your friend did it
in small bursts, in just once with a picture or whatever,
that's fine. But how about the fans. We've all seen
it and heard it, Like you're watching that broadcast and
the lady who's screaming right near the microphone is screaming
the entire game. There's also been fans who will scream
the celebrity's name over and over and over trying to

(15:29):
get their attention. So if this is like a long
interaction your friend was trying to have, then it's too much.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm not comparing the wrestler Booker T too.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
That's exactly what came to mind to Tracy Morgan or
Billie Eilish.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Right, But we went to the Fandora tim Zoo fight
recently in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Who else fought that night?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
That wasn't the only fight there was? Oh Yeahple Cruise
font he won that night, and Booker T was standing
behind us, And in that moment, you're all sitting next
to each other. Isn't it more normal to act like
this guy's just a regular dude. So when he's cheering
along the fight, I'm like, hell, yeah, you know, you

(16:14):
give him a little fist pump. Yeah, you got money
out for door let's car.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
And during intermission a couple of fans took quick photos
with him, but they weren't bothering him during the action.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
That's the thing. There's a way to do it Rich
where I could see it as overstepping and annoying and obnoxious.
I see all that too, But then there's another way
where you're just having a great time and they're there
and they're just part of the great time. I know
your buddy, I know he's not a drunken buffoon, he's
with a client. You already said that, you know, so,
in my opinion, he brought the fun. He's bringing the

(16:47):
fun and he's like, Yo, I'm taking pictures of my kids.
Cauld see dad having this fun.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
This is great.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
You know what. This isn't an everyday thing.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
This is awesome.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
And that I hate that you I hate that. I'm
like I said, when I'm okay changing my opinion. Have
you have you convinced me do two rights make the wrong?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Here?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Rich and I onto something if we agree it's fact.
You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna hit him up right
now and say, you know what, maybe you're onto something
in fact if you follow us at covid on Rich, Hey,
I'm gonna I'm gonna post I'm gonna post like a
couple of pictures on our Instagram story of his night
because I want to see he is like in the
face like it looks like there's a huddle happening where
it's Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan and Spike Lee and they're

(17:27):
all huddled, and I feel like my buddy was sort
of like, yo, go let me in, and I'm like, oh,
that's funny, man. I think he had a great time.
I think asking Billie Eilish to FaceTime his kids is
a little overstepping. But I wasn't there. Did he do
it playfully?

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Was it a funny moment? These are all bold requests.
I get it. But again, when we saw wrestling legend
Booker t behind us, I game a fist pump and
or a fist bump. But I also fist pump with him.
I mean, are you are from Jersey? When for Door
one we were fist pumping and I think it just
adds to the fun atmosphere. It's kind of surreal, man like,

(18:05):
if you're not taking it in, why are you not?
Why are you even there?

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Man?

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Well, you know what, you could argue, what's the point
of having second row floor seats if you can't hobnob
a little bit with the celebrities right in a fun way?
Are you being a stalkerish stand kind of fan? Are
you being weird about it?

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know what? You know what a man, if you're
self aware, I think you'll you could get away with
this and yeah, not come across like a creepy you
know what it is. I'll give you an analogy, you know,
how some guys could be flirty with a woman and
other guys think they're being flirty and you make eye
contact with the girl like do you need me to
get this guy out of here? Like do you need

(18:45):
any help? Because the guide doesn't realize what you're saying
is two people could say the same exact thing, and
one could be perceived as creepy the other could be
perceived as charming, depending on your own creep factor. Yeah,
but I'm saying like, you be self aware and you'll know.
If you're pretty self aware, you'll know where you stand.
But there are times like again, it's like you'll see

(19:07):
a guy talk to a girl and if he feels like, yeah,
she's not that interested, I have a good night. And
then there'll be the other guy that's like, so, like
where are you going after this? What's going on? And
you see the girl being like, oh my god, get
the hint. Be self aware. Let's go to Gunner in
Eugene home. I'm hoping we see Gunner on Friday. We're
gonna be there. What's up, dude? Hell yeah, we're here, man,

(19:29):
We're gonna see a Friday or what?

Speaker 3 (19:31):
So excited?

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Man? I'm nice?

Speaker 5 (19:33):
He has to come to eg Man. He gets there,
he goes there to wear some fresh Jordans. Then you
come to Nike Town, USA.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh you know, I already got mine, already bought my
new patinas their patina. Og wants wait till you see him.
But Gunner, before you go on, please bring friends. Let's
have fun. Yeah, I guess when I guess someone nice
because someone someone goes, when's when's the happy hour over?
And I'm like, just like us the happy Then you
don't know me because if I'm in Eugene for a night,

(20:01):
I'm going to shove up to the airport pretty uh,
pretty pretty wrecked on second.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Morning, ageing eight pm karaoke out of control.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Rich is the happiest guy you ever met.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
So dude, Juden, airport so small, doesn't even matter. You're
not gonna miss anything. So you guys can go aultmate
it in the morning.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
It doesn't even matter all sighted.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah, So hey, like you understand, I just want to
weigh on the topic. You got to totally read the room.
Just you know, if it's if it's a great time,
everybody's having a good time, take advantage of it, you know,
rub some rub some shoulders, take pics, have a great time.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
You know when you see this, I'll give you an example,
Covino and I. He's right, though, you got to read
the room. And some people are better at it, are
better at it than others. So I get where the
question comes from. Not everybody reads it right. Anytime you're
invited somewhere, And I'm not saying and this doesn't just
apply to us, whether it's through work or something. I'm
sure everyone's been to some event where you're in a

(20:54):
VIP or so or a dinner where you're like, oh,
look at the people at this dinner. You Uh, I
was in a VIP one time with Vanilla Ice. Do
you have to we kicked it good one.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeo?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
When you and I? Yeah, you and I went to
our Tensia.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
You and I went to Iheart's jingle Ball. Yeah out
here in La sure did. And when you have access
like VIP areas, you have to remind yourself, like how
to how to act. And if you are self aware,
you're fine. I think that's it.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Self awareness is so key. The problem is not everyone's
self aware of their self awareness. Trust me, check yourself
before you wreck yourself. But I have a good time, man.
Celebrating sports is supposed to be fun. Yeah, that's the
thing too. And this is a fun atmosphere, playoff atmosphere.

(21:49):
if you have any more thoughts or feedback, we'll take
your phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox and all your feedback at Covino and Rich. We
got more CNR on FSR next. So, for centuries, the
bond between horse and human has been forged by trust
and hands on care. Now the sport of thoroughbred racing
is combining those traditions with cutting edge technology, meaningful reforms,

(22:13):
raising its safety standards to the highest levels. New investments
in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes in a
horse's stride and the use of advanced imaging technologies help
flag potential problems for early intervention by expert veterinarians, reducing
injury risk. Scientific experts tests measure and analyze racing surfaces
to ensure consistency, and the sport's new independent regulator, the

(22:36):
Horse Racing Integrity and Safety AUTHORITA Authority, is implementing comprehensive
reforms including state of the art testing, monitoring, and strict enforcement,
along with new uniform safety standards, enhance veterinary protocols, and
other measures to ensure the safest environment possible for racing.
Meaningful reforms, the latest technology, higher standards. Every day, the
sports equine athletes are surrounded by an ecosystem of care

(22:59):
and commitment to do more to protect both horse and
riders so that win or lose. It's safety that runs First.

This's hotel robe guy. Speaking of fun, you're going to
a playoff game, playoff atmosphere, you're allowed to have fun.
And that's what we were asking. Was Rich's friend overstepping
or just having fun? At the NIXT game yesterday he
was second row, which is rare, he's never been there.
He was there with someone, a client, and he got

(26:46):
Billie Eilish to FaceTime his kids. He was hanging out
Tracy Morgan, tell you there's one pick. I'm gonna post
it during the next friend Stiller and he was hobnobbing
with the best of them. And again it sounds obnoxious.
But if you know your obnoxious factor, you're self aware.
I say, live it up. And again that being said,
we got lots to get to today. You know I'm

(27:08):
gonna post it during the next break. I got caught
up chatting it up during that last break. Is I'm
a blabermouth, blaber mouth Like every picture he is taking,

That's fun.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Hey, obnoxious or taken in the moment or both. Let's
go to John to rap this in Montana. We got

Speaker 7 (27:40):
So I want to say that I've even pull over
the bulls.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
I mean, if it's just the first first time, I mean,
you want to make sure that you're, you know.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Taking in the moment.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
But I mean, when is the next time you're gonna
see all these these celebrities.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
I mean, it's gonna be great for him right in
the moment that you know it will.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Be only one time.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
So and if you're a guy that loves to tell
like ridiculous stories like my friend does this is this
is perfect? Right up?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Now?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, Now, I have a question before we get into
the other action pack greatness of the show, I have
a question you more excited about you took a picture
point to get Clyde Fraser's suit. I mean, have you
seen the suit that It's a pretty deaf suit. It's
guy's like a child. He's like Rudy Giuliani's kidd at

(28:23):
the inauguration, like waving in front of the camera. Tell
him to act like a grown up.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
That's so funny.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Fun Hey, are you more excited about fury Uhsick this
weekend heavyweight bout in Saudi Arabia Tyson fury Olexander Usick.
I'm like, I'm oddly disappointed in you. Let me finish
my sentence. Are you more excited about this big heavyweight
bount YEP or this other heavyweight bout between Biden and Trump?

(28:53):
They've agreed to debate on CNN June tenth, and they'll
face off again. It's September June, June twenty seventh and
September tenth, Which excites you more? That's a great question.
I'll be honest. Fury versus uh sick or Biden versus Trump,
it's a mess. Who's gonna have better derogatory nicknames? What's

(29:14):
gonna be a better battle?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
I was telling I was telling Danny g earlier. I said,
Donald Trump, he's so Trump in that he accepted the
invitation to the debate. But instead of just saying like,
I'll be there, Trump should come out with a robe
in those gaudy, disgusting gold shoes that he has and
come for the knockout. He should come out in the
it's absolutely in those golden air Trumps with a robe on,

(29:40):
and Joe Biden what like tony soprano like he's ready
for a fight. Oh gotcha, I'm readying. All right, let's
let's do somebody. Somebody wake up, sleepy Joe.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
It's time.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Let's do our let's do our own DraftKings odds well,
Donald Trump mock Biden not knowing where he's going while
he comes out without a doubt. He's gonna yeah, he's
not holding back on Twitter today, on X He's not
gonna hold back Yeah at this debate. That guys, instead
of just instead of just accepting, he's like of course
I'll debate Crooked Joe, the worst president of all time.

(30:13):
He's I just can't believe it's happening. So I'd say
I'm equally excited, to be honest, because I was sort
of shocked that not only are we getting one debate
in June, we're getting another in September. Let me tell
you today, I don't want to downplay the importance of
the presidency in our country in the future, but I'm
not that's pretty exciting. But I will say, there's such
a layer of this that's entertainment for me, and I

(30:34):
know it shouldn't be. But I know I know it
shouldn't be. But when June twenty seven hits, I'm gonna
be like, ooh today, I'm not gonna make I'm gonna
make microwave popcorn? Are you gonna are we gonna come over.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Your house and watch?

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Or what? Honestly, it has fight It has fight night
feel to it, Like what is June twenty sid? What
day is that?

Speaker 2 (30:53):
That's probably are you more excited for that? Or Tyson?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Oh, Tyson Jake Paul. I'm gonna go Tyson Jake Paul
number one? Okay, Yeah, And I'm embarrassed to say it.
Trump Biden two and then Usik Fury three, but Usik
Fury this weekend, Saudi Arabia two undefeated heavyweight champions. I
think we got some good battles coming up. Yeah, and
by the way, June twenty seventh, by the way, is
a Thursday night.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Oh nice?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
So yeah, you could start the weekend a little early, get.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Some come over.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'll want to bring yeah, too fast, too furious, something
to think about. It's gonna be just throwing that out
show other big news today. It's almost seems like it
almost seems like unreal that it's the two of them again. Again,
we don't get political on the show, but it does
seem unreal that like really, oh, I guess, and.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Then stay off of Facebook the following day. Good. That's
a good idea, Danny, that's good advice.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
You know what It's like, this election is like a
team that that was like in a sixth seed in
the playoffs and they and we said, yeah, let's run
it back. Really we're running it back, all right, I
guess So all right? Cool? Uh, let's go to our
pal and yours damn buyer for an update. What's up?

Speaker 4 (31:58):
dB?

Speaker 7 (31:58):
Hey, Dan, week ones gonna be huge, guys. That's as
far as my trump goes. We'll get to some schedule information,
but I do want to talk about tonight's NFL schedule
or NBA schedule. Caves Celtics seven Eastern Calves likely again
with our Donovan Mitchell.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
They're down three to one in the series.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's like a sixteen point spread now, like they're pretty
much saying, like, all right, boss, then let's just move
along to the next round. But the later game, that's a.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
Game MAV's Thunder nine thirty Eastern time. That series tied
up at two a piece. As Game five moves back
to Oklahoma City, Lakers given permission to speak with multiple
assistant coaches across the league. That's according to ESPN, including
the Celtics Sam Cassell and Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn.
In Major League Baseball, Orioles walked off the Blue Jays

(32:44):
today three to two. Edley Rutchman a two run shout
in the bottle of the ninth won it for the O's.
The Marlins blank the Tigers for the second straight day.
Tigers didn't score yesterday's ten run loss and didn't score
nine innings today falling to the Marlins do nothing Brewers
run of the Pirates tend to two while the Rockies
are rolling. This team has won six straight and they're
on the verge of winning number seven. They lead in

(33:04):
San Diego seven to nothing right now playing in the
sixth inning against the Padres Diamondbacks on top of the Reds.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Actually that just went final.

Speaker 7 (33:11):
Arizona wins it two to one, and the Mariners have
a two to nothing lead on Kansas City in the
fifth inning. Now onto the NFL schedule, Danny mentioned as
Raiders and Chiefs playing on Black Friday, with the Chiefs
and Steelers playing on Christmas Day. That Christmas Day game
will be streamed exclusively on Netflix, and again Christmas is
on a Wednesday this year, likely to be the first
of the double header, as the second game would feature

(33:33):
the Ravens and the Texans. London games have the Jets
against the Vikings, Patriots and Jaguars, and the Jags will
stick around for a week to face the Bears. Caleb
Williams is likely to make his debut in Week one
for the Bears against the Tennessee Titans. According to reports,
that game would be in Chicago and the New York
Posts is the Giants will be in Dallas on Thanksgiving,

(33:53):
while the Dolphins and Packers will play on Thanksgiving Night.
According to The Athletic and Happy Gilmore Too, featuring Adam Sandler,
will be made on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Speaking of Netflix, in the Games.

Speaker 7 (34:04):
Jerry Jones getting his own ten part documentary series The Company.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
So much stuff, So much stuff, Dan Bayer, I'm telling
you the schedule, it's like a movie trailer where we've
seen too much. By the time five o'clock hits local
time here in La I feel we're.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Gonna know everything.

Speaker 7 (34:18):
You know, all the guts, all the funny parts of
the movies are, all the special games are already out.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I can't be alone in the sentiment that, as much
as some people, there are people that be back really Wednesday,
Christmas Day, do we need football? And my answer is yes,
because the minute you've done opening Presidents with your kids
in the morning, and Santa came and you had a
little breakfast and you have a Santa forgot batteries again,
so you gotta go out and get bad. Yeah. But
I'm saying you're telling me on a Christmas afternoon, you're

(34:43):
not gonna want to watch some football, of course you are.

Speaker 7 (34:45):
I think more people have the problem with a Wednesday
aspect of it, Like what do you do with these
teams on such as short weeks? And now those teams
they have to play on Saturday and they're playing on
the Thursday of the week before.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
How are you gonna end up doing that?

Speaker 1 (34:56):
If you're the NFL, how are you gonna put together
Barbie's dream house? If you're watching football, you can do
it at the same time. That's what I'll be doing,
all right, Thank you, dB coven on Ritch. Now you've
put it off long enough. Put it off long enough.

That's Richie, super pumped about the NFL schedule, Davis, I
am a forty nine Ers hoodie.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
I am Danny g Yeah, a Raiders schedule. Let's go
see week one a home game for the Raiders in
La Ah.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
You know what it's It's sort of true though, Danny,
you could joke about it, but that that is sort
of a home Oh.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I love so far.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
When the Raiders are in southern California, it's it's and
they're going to be training in Coasta, Mesa. It's gonna
be a really good training camp.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, what embarrassment. That's an embarrassment for the home field advantage.
You know. It's like you know what it's like when
you're having a barbecue at your house and you're manning
up the grill and some other guy comes and tries
to take over your grill.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Well, it's only it's only fair code.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
It's only fair because for the rest of the season,
the Raiders in Vegas have to deal with half the
stadium being visiting fans.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
That is true.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Party weekend.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
You know, want to be disrespected at home like that,
That's my point. You don want to be disrespected in
your home. So everybody's super pumped about the NFL schedule Wednesday.
I hope you enjoy it. Plus again some big games tonight.
Definitely tune it in for that Maps Thunder game. And
thank you guys for tuning into us. Remember to join
us on Friday. You can't make it there, make it here,

(37:53):
but we'll be in Eugene, Oregon at the Graduate Hotels
and then the following Friday, the twenty fourth temp Arizona
Graduate Hotels. All details at Fox Sports Radio and at
Covino and Rich. I just posted a little montage of
my buddy acting a fool at the Knicks game, acting
a fool and having fun, haveing fun. That's the question.
Vote on our Instagram story at Covino and Rich. Now,

(38:17):
we are going to have midweek major coming up. All
the stuff Cavino just said, but I do want to
pose a question to the Fox Sports Radio Nation Dad poser.
And by the way, happy birthday Emmett Smith, NFL legend
celebrating a b day today. Happy birthday man. Now, when
you think of moments in sports history where a beloved

(38:41):
or hated, popular, unpopular athlete did something where you never
looked at them, the same happened. And I bring this
up because today May fifteenth, is the anniversary back in
twenty sixteen, eight years ago, feel old jet geez twenty sixteens,

(39:04):
eight years ago, eight years ago on this day, that's
when Odor punched Bautista in the face. And I think
a lot of people would say they never really looked
at Jose Bautista the same way Joey Bats like lost
a little something. He looked at himself in the mirror
the same way, ever again, because he wasn't the same guy,

(39:26):
at least from our standpoint. Ever again, he went from
Joey Bats flipping bats, hitting bombs. Dude had a scruff
for days, like look at this manly man hitting bombs
with his mess scruff to get exposed by rufin netto'd'or
would a punch to the face that everybody saw over

(39:46):
got tent over and over again. I think, sucking out
the confidence of him and his bat. And he was
never the same after that. That's how I know the story.
That's how I remember it, so kind of like, I'll
give you another example that's similar. You could say he
came back, but I don't think Tyson was ever the
same after he got knocked out by Buster Douglas.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I actually wrote down a different thing because I think
everyone loses. I was gonna say when he bit Evander
Holyfield's ear, I think it changed his reputation. Maybe he
lost a little respect. Of course, since then he's redeemed himself.
We all love Mike Tyson now, but I'm talking about
that vicious fighter he once was. So again it's keen
sa de Mayo everybody, which again is the anniversary of

(40:30):
Roof Nettodor's paunched to the face and Bautista. I don't
think ever really recovered from that.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
He was embarrassed.

Speaker 4 (40:37):
I thought you both were going to say Robin venturav
because I never looked at him the same. Dude that
much is what Nolan Ryan did you know Big Mike
runs his place.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah wait, Mike, Yeah, you got to bring up Robin
Nport Oh, Mike, Yeah, Robin Ventura. He hit that walk
off single for the Mets. He had a great career,
but there was always a party. That's like, yo, Nolan
Ryan woofed his ass. I mean he gave him knuckles
sound and handled him. Yeah, you know what, Danny g
that's like right up there with you know, I think

(41:05):
that's number two to Rufe Ned Bautista, cause he had
a really stellar, nice, solid career, and that is one
of the things you think about the most. And it's
sad because he always came across as a really likable
and nice dude, Like I felt like that was against
his character, against the grain for him to charge the

(41:27):
mount on an old ass Nolan Ryan in that way. So,
but there's a backstory to that. I mean, it's a
great backstory. You know, I'll give you the twenty second backstory.
Robin Ventoria was instructed as a young rookie that yo,
if you get hit, you need to charge a mound
to represent our team. He didn't want to. Nolan Ryan,
earlier in his career, had someone charge the mound against

(41:49):
him and he was hesitant and was like, oh, I
should have been the aggressor. So Nolan Ryan's like, if
anyone ever charges me again, I'm gonna be the guy
that puts a whooping on him because someone's running at
you full speed. So Noel Ryan's like, I will, I
will be ready, and Robin Ventori is hesitant. You could
tell already. So that's why it ended up the way
it did. So the moments in sports and life where

(42:11):
you never saw them the same way. I have a
bunch of examples and would love to hear from you
eight seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox More Coveno
and Rich next right here,
