does a hell of a job putting together the best
of our podcast, The Best of the week drops Saturday morning.
Just search Covin on Rich and you'll get all you
need right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I wanted to start the show by talking about the
whole concept of holding silly grudges, or holding onto an
idea or concept, or just saying that I don't care anymore,
because there's two people in the news today that I
wonder if there's anyone that's still sort of.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like mad at them.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Number One, I hold, I'm really good at holding a grudge.
Your spot, but you're sort of like Spiite. I adore Spie.
Grudges are fun.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Adore it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
In fact, here's a tip before you even talk about
who the two people are, Danny. If let's say you're
hating on someone that did you dirty, if you make
up with them, you have to tell us because we'll
then hold the grudge against someone unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
There was a guy like Effort.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
There was a guy that I had some beef with,
which is rare because I get along with most people.
There was a guy that was a real jerk. Him
and I were, you know, just didn't see eye to eye.
We had a little moment where we, like two grown men, hugged.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It out by the way in retrospect.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
This guy was right, but we had to have Rich's
back so untrue. It's so no, it's so true. Get
I mean, give the quick backstory.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I even forget, so you give it you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
This was a guy that so at serious XM. It
was kind of like an open four floor plan where
people used to sit at desks in the hallway, and
rich was always running up and down the halls with
his pals, like laughing and loud talking and talking to
everybody and disrupting people. You describing like a fun radio No,
I'm sorry, I'm describing a workplace. So these people that
(03:48):
you know, work with audio all day are trying to
hear things and hear voice tracks and hear music and
all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And Richard's just like ha ha.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And just laughing. And this guy told rich can you
quiet down? He asked him to quiet down, And ever
since then rich was like, I hate that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
This guy's the worst. He's no fun.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's a radio station anyway, it's a it's a place
of entertainment and fun. Anyway. I hated this guy for years.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
We all had to be mean to him.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
In fact, we had an event in the lobby a
coven on Rich event and it was catered with food.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
This guy grabs a plate and spots like, no if
I told him, I was like, I looked him in
the eyes. I'm like, put that food.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
That would be that would be like if we ordered
Buffalo wild wings here, and like I didn't like one
of the editors and I'm like, for everyone except you,
this is for our listeners.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Beat it.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And I sort of made up with this guy, but
I forgot to tell Covino on Spots, so they still
hated it. I'm like, I don't hate their guy anymore.
So if you have a beef with someone, you need
to tell your friends if you made.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Up, but you denied him even though you thought he
was in the right, like because of Rich, Like you
said you just said that, Yeah, yeah, I thought that
he was correct.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But yeah I had to have Rich's back, Like I
just had to hate him for no reason. It's like
even though the reason was.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Kind of It's like when your wife or girlfriend is wrong,
you have to defend them either way. Have you ever
dated a fiery woman that gets in an argument with
someone and you make eye contact with that person, Like
I understand you, but I have to get her back.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Just remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Anyway, There's two people in the news that I wonder
if there's still like animosity. It's like or get over it?
Number one Harrison Bucker. First of all, I was never
mad at him in the first place. He's entitled to
his opinion his beliefs, much like the Kelsey's and Mahomes.
And everyone was like, hey, listen, I don't necessarily agree
with everything he said, but I don't hate him. There
(05:38):
were people that trying to cancel this guy. He happens
to be the one player in that special teams meeting
that helps save the life of bj Thompson, the chief
that had a seizure. So does heroic action make up
for the fact that you might not agree with his beliefs?
Is anyone's still mad at Harrison Budker, Like you said,
(06:00):
I was never bad at him in the first place
based on what he did.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, I don't think what he did was that egregious.
And the fact that he was helpful to his teammate,
which is what everyone said all along. Great guy.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
And we have a little audio by the way of
the chief trainer who kind of describes what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, let's go this facility.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
We have a doctor's office down the hall and doctor J. P.
Darsh from Kansas University Health System was there. He came
up and assisted in. As a team. We tried to
stabilize bj and then put him on the floor while
he's still seizing, and then he went into cardiac arrest.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Okay, so that was the situation. And then then he said,
this is Rick.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
When he had this seizure, Butker immediately ran towards the
training room and grabbed Julie Freimeyer and David Glover and
then grabbed me.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We went into the room.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Eventually, Uh, Tiffany Morton and Evan Kraft came in a.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Lot of names, but Butker was the first one to
be there.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And by the way, he was able to help because
his wife was doing launch I'm kidding, I'm he.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Was well fed because she made him a sandwich. I mean,
so right, yeah, what's gonna happen something.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But here, in the face of adversity, some people run
towards the fire, and some people run away from the fire.
And the people that run towards the fire are people
of great character. So maybe a little stupid, but people
of great character, regardless of whether or not you agreed
with what Butcker said.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
The guy just helps save a life. Let's move on
from Harrison. I don't think so. It's a step back opportunity.
It's where you.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I think you're so focused in on the comments that
he made at that day, at that moment, that now
you take a step back to see a little bit
more of maybe who Harrison Butker is you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Mean the guy of great character that his teammates described
every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You mean the man who has certain beliefs and in
the off season was invited to speak, probably paid to
speak at a conservative university to share his conservative beliefs.
I don't conservative.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Those sisters then went out and said, yeah, we don't
agree with anything he said.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You don't need to agree, pFET.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't agree with university though, like the school.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I just you ever got to a concert in the
lead singer talks about his views. Yes, Do you ever
leave like let's get the heck out of here? Some
people did, but I think the majority of the people
are like, all right, let's go get a beer. Yeah,
you know, it may be a topic you don't even
care about, not even like be opposed to but you
just don't care about.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But yeah, it's it's funny how people will judge someone
based on words they may not agree with instead of actions.
This guy helps save a life, and it's like, yeah, yeah,
but but you know what he said. He said some
moral stuff that I don't necessarily agree with.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Honestly, it's also just exhausting. It's exhausting. True.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I have no energy, Dann Bayer, no energy to argue
with people about stuff I truly don't really care that
much about.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We're entering we're entering a political cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
If you worried about what everyone said about Trump or Biden,
you your head would spin off. Just hey, believe what
you want to believe. I may disagree, I may agree.
Live your life. As t I and Rihanna once said,
live your life.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The other person thanks for the damn yral great backup
saying you're a great host. I mean, the guy's amaze.
The other person Will Smith, Yeah, I get it. Guy
jumped on stage.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Slap slap.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Do you still hold like some odd fan animosity like man,
I can't get with what we'll did to Chris Rock
because I think we all felt that way like, dude,
he's on stage, he's a comedian. I know you probably
haven't some weird times at your wife, but you don't
slap a man. Bad Boys for is coming out this weekend?
Are there gonna be people that are still like I
(09:46):
haven't forgiven Will Smith?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
He's a star.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Have you seen that video of him operating a gun
and a camera at the same time that's gone viral?
Speaker 5 (09:54):
No, I miss that, unbelieva up. Yeah, I look at
him differently. I don't hold a I just like profet does.
But because he's an actor, because he was always over
the top, like there was always this over the top happiness, smile,
joking around sort of thing, and then you see that
(10:16):
come out.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I just I don't know what's real and what's fake.
Right the front that he put on for years, especially
when after all that slap stuff and his marriage and
all the stuff behind the scenes, It's like everyone has
dirty laundry, Everyone has things that goes on in their
private life that they don't necessarily share, but it was
so exposed.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
So this like pedestal we put Will Smith on just
crumbled and we're all like, okay, not the fresh prince,
right and not the fresh prince. You know, I think
a lot of people forgave him for the incident, but
they didn't forget. A lot of people forgive, they never forget. Yeah,
and it'll always stick in your head. But I think
we always have to remind ourselves. His wife, I mean,
(10:56):
emasculated him in every possible way. Imagine like your wife
went on podcast talking about the stuff that Jada would
talk about.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's uh, it just pulled back rough, it pulled back
the veil.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So I ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation at Covin
and Rigel, if you want to try me in eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox. As a fan of sports, movies, music,
do you hold grudges on these things? Like let's say, uh,
if you were a fan of the Dixie Chicks back
of the day and you're like, I don't like what
they said about the President's just the chicks, right, It's
just the chicks.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Do you hold those grudges If some if some politician
gets endorsed by someone, are you like, well, hold on, now,
I don't know if I like that person anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
My example of this, and I don't know if I'm
wrong or right, because I feel like a lot of
people align with this is Kanye. For me, it was
just like one. I think it all started with the
Taylor Swift thing. I gotta be honest, I think it did.
And when he grabbed the mic, when he grabbed the
mic on stage during the one of the VMA's and like,
you know, is the greatest artist of all time?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, he said, I remember, Aready said, yea, yalla, tell it.
I'm gonna let you finish. There it is, I'm gonna
let you finish. But Beyonce. Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
That was the best. That was the beginning of it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Not that I was ever a huge Kanye West fan,
but he had a few good albums, a few good
songs if you could radio hits, and I was.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I enjoyed his music. And then after that he just
started unraveling more and more and more.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Similar to Will Smith, but not as bad, and because
Will Smith has bounced back, but it just it left
a bad taste in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So now, like any sort of Kanye music, I'm done with.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I've got a sports analogy, and it's it's really where
you don't know where the line is. You think you know,
or you're always pushing it, but you really don't realize
when you cross it and it's Phil Mickelson. Phil Mickelson
was loved for decades and in fact won the PGA
Championship three years ago when he was fifty and was
being loved.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But when this live stuff came up, the stuff that
he said.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
About you know, the Saudi's and then his role and
now it's completely changed, and I don't buy. We always
knew he had this face, you know, smiling and you know,
friendly Phil, and everybody loved Phil, but like, I didn't
think that that would be the line to cross it,
but it absolutely was.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It like when Hulk Hogan went Hollywood Hogan.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, Dan Byron, let me ask my world exploded sticking
in golf, how did you feel after the whole Tiger
Woods kind of personal life things like between the affairs
and then the drug It wasn't drugs, was alcohol, Yeah,
but yeah, the golf club to the right, all that.
Yeah there, I'll tell you what I was at the Masters,
(13:37):
the first Masters he played when he came back after
the scandal, he broke his leg and you know, won
the US Open in two thousand and eight with torn ligaments,
but he went and played the next year, and then
the scandal happened, and there were people who stood and
gave him a standing ovation as a former champion and
as of Tiger Woods, and I'm like, well, how are
we giving him a standing ovation? This is in twenty
ten right now. I look back at it and I'm like, Tiger, Yeah,
(14:00):
it's the same old Tigers. You know, look, enough time
is passed. But it's also the the just it wasn't.
Tiger never tried to fool me because with his you know,
like I'm great smiling like miss Smith and Phil Mickelson,
he was always very closed. He was always very insular,
wouldn't give much and so then you're like, okay, that's
(14:21):
what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So it didn't have as much of an effect. So
but it did. There was a little bit. But then
I got I got passed.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I mean, was I the only one that was like
oddly impressed that he balanced all that for a while,
all those women, I thought, you know, having a wife
and kids and everything.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
That's when he was playing his best golf.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Imagine imagine you were, you know, succeeding in your career,
You had a family, and you had all these women
on the side, and it took a while to be exposed.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Honestly, it was just one woman. You want to be
on top of your game, to have a schedule, that
fel that's that's when you're hiding your phone. Ladies.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't want to put this in your mind, but
multiple thing. If your guy is very possessive of his phone,
not a.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Good thing. So hey, do you forgive? Do you move on?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Or you a grudgey type of person where I'll never
like Harrison Buker, I'll never like will Smith, Lebron James Is.
People that like hate the decision he made back in
the days. There's people that are like Deshaun Watson, piece
of garbage, Michael Vick never will like him. There are players,
there are athletes, there are superstars in the world of
(15:33):
sports music acting that you'll never like. And you were saying,
spot it's interesting because if your talent over outweighs the drama,
like something like Kanye.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Kanye, he said some stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
But people are still wearing the sneakers, people are still
wearing their yeasies. People will still listen to his music.
There's a lot of people that like Cavino still rocks
his easies once.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
In a while. What's the term, what's the term that
I know?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Like the deesem Oh, the problematic Kanye is the problematic
fave for a lot of people out there where. I've
seen him release albums and people still tie themselves into
knots to justify it listening to it, or even just
still justify to the mus that they think the music
is still good when clearly these albums have a lot
of problems. If someone is he's an artist, if someone's
(16:18):
troubled and you still like their stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I mean, look at R Kelly. Radio stations stop playing
his stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I think Michael VICKI you said Michael Vick earlier, he
seems like the perfect one. Because I do know there
is a very good contingent of people out there who
are more than willing to look past what Michael Vick
did to talk about just what an unbelievable talent he
was when he was playing football. But there is also
still a very good number of people who will never
forgive him for the dog fighting.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
This speaks to another point I was gonna make. It
really does depend on what they did. Like there are
people that are doing way worse than what Harrison, Butker
and will Smith did and they're either still playing or
they've made comebacks in their you know, personal life or
their careers.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, to that point.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
It talked to the NBA Finals right now, Kyrie promoted
something that was anti Semitic, remember, and he's bounced back
in a major way.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Kyrie was talking about the Earth being flat, and you
know it wasn't very kind to the Jewish community. And
remember he was he was suspended for a while and
we didn't know when he was coming back, but we moved.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
All stuff with COVID and not playing home games. The
other problem with it. He might have been right about that. R.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Kelly. Oh, I'm not denying that, and I don't mean
to laugh.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
But when you look back at his music that you
all kind of dismissed and you're like, oh wait.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
A second, now it makes sense.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, and then you're like, wait, this was and yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You know what Michael Jackson, you know, he passed away,
and I think that sort of is why we've you know,
like maybe turned a blind eye too, because it we're
always more accusations and proof, right, So it's.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Like even in life, he in life he transd he
was just so popular even in life. He transcended any
sort of allegations of Fortunately that that documentary did change
my opinion. I mean, actually, I mean it did.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Michael Jackson would have could have murdered people, and they've
been like, yo, but Thriller is pretty good.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Right, yeah, honestly, rich his music is so powerful that
people were able to separate his personal life from his
music because slowly Thriller started getting played at Halloween again.
Radio stations started playing.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You go to any resort around the world, like, you know,
an all inclusive Dominican Republic, Mexico, anywhere, it's still like
Michael Jackson showing the lobby like no one cares.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I think there's a difference between believing it and then
just separating from it. Like I think people choose not
to believe it, and that's their excuse for not being
affected by it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
The other day, someone goes, what are some of your
favorite TV shows over the last twenty years, And I
was like, oh, man, Dexter, I loved Sopranos, Breaking Bed.
You know, the list goes on, and I said, you
know what I loved, man. We forget how much we
all loved House of Cards, and then Kevin Spacey, you know,
some creep allegations and you're like.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, he can go away forever.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But you almost had to pretend like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love TOAs of Cards.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, and you also like cross it off your list
of greatest shows.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It's how it is. Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
He was another person that I separated the art from
the person because I did enjoy all his face.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Sure, projects so good.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I think the thing that makes us all kind of
complicated to going back to Bucker for a second, is
that certain people, depending on your stature, like there's plenty
of people who have gone the other way saying some
things political who are life savers like doctors who maybe
say they say one thing about a political a geopolitical
situation and they lose their jobs over it because of
(19:41):
the amounts of amounts pressure put on it. And yet
we will never say anything about that. So I look
at like someone like Butcker, and I'm like it if
he wasn't the kicker, he's the kicker.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, just come on, I listen.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
There's there's also the chance that he was maybe the
one closest to the door, So who was the first
one to be able to believe it's not like anybody
you know decaid well, I'm not going to run and
get help like like that wasn't the stance.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just he happened to be the one.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
But that's why I say to take a step back
and to look at it that way. That's what the
Butcker situation did for me. Of you know, you hear
this and you take a step back for what he said,
and you realize, okay, what what is important and the
bigger picture that it actually you meant spots at it earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Everybody's got something, you know, and it's.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It's to the degree of does it body you that much?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Like Harrison Bucker words Aaron Rodgers, the guy does ayahuasca
and he has thoughts.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
About COVID you might not agree with. Is he a
bad guy? Is he bringing it to work?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
No, he's not bringing it to work. He's not doing it,
you know, on the field or during the game. It's

even have a CD drivative. So hold that thought. We'll
get to all that next right here. Covin on Rich
Fox Sports ready on now. For centuries, the bond between
horse and human has been forged by trust and hands
on care. Now a sport of thorwbread racing is combining
those safety standards and cutting edge technology meaningful reforms, and
(21:28):

wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes and the horse's stride,
and the use of advanced imaging technology help flag potential
problems and early intervention by expert veterinarians, which reduces injury risk.
Scientific experts test, measure, and analyze racing surfaces to ensure
consistency and the sports. New independent regulator HAISA is implementing
(21:52):
comprehensive reforms, including state of the art testing, monitoring, and
strict enforcement, along with new safety standards, enhance veterinary protocols,
and other measures to ensure the safest environment possible for racing,
meaningful reforms, latest.

and Rich we got spot here perfet on the Ones
and Twues Danny g.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
And Dan Bayer.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
By the way, one last thought about whether or not
you hold grudges against athletes and rock stars and actors
A la Harrison Bucker is a hero.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Now do you still care about what he said? Will Smith?
Do you care about to slap when you're gonna go
see bed Moys for this weekend? Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
One other thing came to mind, what about cheaters in
sports who paid their dues, did their time?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Like Tatis Junior?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Remember like the yo he was key claiming something for
his hair and they I was a drug Andy Pettitt
with hgah, some of the steroid era people do care
if they've paid their their dues and did their time.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Very bold to bring this up in Los Angeles where
people still bring up the astros in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, do you blame every astro like they tainted forever?
Do you see Al Tuove and Forever?
Speaker 7 (24:13):
He's a piece of garbage to you, Not every astro,
but I look at their franchise a lot differently. As
far as Andy Pettitt, he handled it the right way.
We've talked about that on our show before. Yeah, he
came out and said, I'm sorry. I wanted to get
back to help my team and help the fans chair
for a winner, and it was part of my recovery
and I shouldn't have did it. And after that it
(24:33):
seemed like people forgave him because he was honest about it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
What if it genuinely seems accidental, like at Jimmy Garoppolo,
or is like I don't even know what you're talking about,
or like Ryan Garcia when he just fought what a
month ago when he said, you know, I just I
don't it's not true.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I'm taking vitamins. It's tough for me to believe anything.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Right the guys say, even to the Andy Pettit thing,
You're like, all right, you know, like it's you.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Maybe he's really.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Good at apologizing, But me, it's just erases best case scenario.
Erase is giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I may hold it.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Against them for personal rivalries, you know, Michigan football, you know,
as an Ohio State fan, anything that they do, like,
I you know, just think that's it's the worst in
the world. The whole videotaping stuff. Everybody's moved on. But
I'm still hung up on it for my fandom. You know,
if you're a Dodgers fan, you lost the World Series,
absolutely I get while you're booing the Astros, every single
(25:28):
everyone else sort of vote for it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Are you a deny till you die type of guy?
Just the I just hate how I don't know what
the white right word is, Like, well, we'll forgive Big Poppy,
we'll forgive petit, but like Barry Bonds is gone forever.
Like likability, there's just some people that are more likable.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, but they all.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Did the same thing, And I guess that's the problem
is Like again, it's it's the inconsistency of it that
just drives me insane.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Well, are they likable or not? Big Poppies likable, not
that big not.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
To drag it or not?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Do you find a difference between a guy who's just
trying to make it in the league as opposed to Bombs,
who we felt would have been a Hall of Famer
without it.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know what, I a little bit like if I
see some young guys like on the border, like he's
like a lifer minor league player who might get a
cup of coffee in the bigs. If he gets popped
for something, I'm almost like, I get it.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I would cheat.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
If I was a professional athlete, I would have been
so guilty with balco and everything.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I would have been the guy like inject.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Me, I want to be a star and a ninth
suspension in minor league based exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
My wife hit me up on the way to work
today and she said, uh, it's weird when you're a
really innocent guy, like I've been a great guy for
a good decade.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Post now I think, well for the most part, huh.
I My wife goes dejected the timeline on that.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
She goes, uh, are you gonna come clean? Or what
if a woman ever says to you, are you gonna
come clean?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Or what? My first thought spot was, I've done nothing wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
What is she talking about? And then you start think
like have I done something wrong? And she had her
she had put her ice coffee in the fridge and
I drank it all That's what it was. But I
was like, She's like, what if you would have been like,
I admit it, Yeah, I was with hookers.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
You get that text from your significant other sometimes that
says we need to talk.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh no, I know, Danny. What if I hit you
up and I was like, yo, bro, we got a chat.
I know what you did. You'd be like, what did
I do?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Immediate sinking feeling, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So, Hey, something to think about, Harrison Bucker, Will Smith do?
The whole grudge is do you care?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Do you not care? I will leave that up to
you now before we get to dB.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
In an update NBA Finals Game one last night, you know,
you could say Celtics held serve they wanted home a
couple observations. You know, Luca put up thirty, Kyrie didn't
hit a three zero four five from three point range.
They got off to a hot start. There was a
moment in the third quarter where you're like, yo, this
game is single digit lead. I wrote, I remember looking,
(27:58):
I was like seventy two sixty four.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
This is a game.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
And then as Danny g hit me up with and
nar it is boom blows the dynamite. Yeah, Celtics just
got hot again. So do you look at that as
a Hey, listen, home team won by eighteen, got a
little carried away. Should the Mavericks worry they shot less
from the field, Like, is it just a home team
wins Game one. Are you looking any more into it?
Speaker 7 (28:22):
It went the way I kind of thought it would,
except now Game two sets it up for the MAVs
to really need to steal that one in Boston. I
feel like to get where they need to be going
to Dallas, they need Game two. And Kyrie needs to
get this monkey off his back against the Celtics. I
saw a stat this morning. He is zero to eleven
his last eleven games against the Celtics' former team.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
If you could steal game two Sunday, that is Hella
momentum going into Dallas next week. And as you said,
we've talked about how the Eastern Conference Celtics on a
moonwalk to speaking of Michael Jackson before they've been they
like move walked into the NBA Finals, no real test.
They've only lost two games in the whole postseason. They
had the one seed, though, Like that's what you're supposed
(29:06):
to get. When you're the one seed, you get the
lesser seeded, you get the lesser quality opponents. They buy
virtue of them winning a lot of games in the
regular season, like it just becomes a catch twenty two.
We do this in the postseason, a lot.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I know, it's like, oh, yeah, they had an easy road, Yeah,
because they had earned the right for that easy road,
and in.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Theory, yes, but when Jimmy Butler doesn't play, Donovan Mitchell
misses the last couple of games, haves Tyrese Halliburton's out
there for Indiana, it doesn't put as much strangth. Like
I actually felt that Dallas's playoff run, even though it
wasn't excruciating, Minnesota in five games played a little bit
of a part of that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Like I felt like, I don't know if.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
They were underestimating Boston last night, it was just the
energy or the return of Porzingis, but they obviously didn't
come ready to play, And I don't know if they
were reading their own news clippings or if it was
just such a grind and they felt that they could
still put fourth and eighty percent effort. Not that they
didn't try, but I just don't think that they were
prepared for Game one. And Boston looked like a team
where a lot of the guys have been in the
(30:05):
NBA Finals before. You know, they were there two years ago.
Drew Holiday played in one three years ago, so you
kind of knew what it was. Dallas kind of didn't
have that, didn't have that feel even though Kyrie had
played in the finals.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
A mere strategy wise, you're really just looking to split
those first two games. So Dallas has to put that
behind them and say, Yo, Sunday, let's step it up.
Steal one in Boston, go back to Dallas next week,
tied up, and now you got yourself a series. And
if you're a big hockey fan, as you know, NHL
Stanley Cup starts tomorrow. But let's go to dB for
an update, Dan Byer, what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Guys? You kind of coach?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Danny Hurley reportedly in La today meeting with the Lakers
about their head coaching vacancy. The Field of sixty eight
did report that Yukon is trying to up a contract
offered Hurley, but the numbers likely wouldn't top whatever the
Lakers provide. Hurley did sign an extension with the school
last summer after their first national championship. Now coming off
back to back national titles. The NFL's preseason schedule at
(31:01):
release today, the final games will be taking place on Sunday,
August twenty fifth. The first is the Hall of Fame
Game in Canton, Ohio on Thursday, August first, featuring the
Texans and Bears.
Speaker 2 (31:10):

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Carlos Alcarez advanced to the French Open final with a
win over Janick Center in five sets. Alexander Zvere will
now face Alcarez in the final. He beat Casper Route
today in four sets. The Mike Tyson Jake Paul Fights
Bend postponed from July twentieth, not it'll take place guys
November fifteenth, still will be held at and T Stadium
in Arlington. In golf at the Memorial Mirefield Village second
(31:33):
round play, Scotti Scheffler is a two shot lead. He's
eight under par and a couple of baseball notes. Yankees
Dodgers tonight in the Bronx. Nojan Soto for the Yankees,
but the Yankees getting good news on the MRI on
his forearm, not believed to be a serious injury, but
gonna sit out tonight because of sorenis. And in college
Baseball Super Regional in the best of three game one matchup,
(31:55):
Florida State top dukon today twenty four to four, twenty
four to four. He twenty four runs, the most scored
by a team. Yes, in the.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The softball score in the valley here hat grown ass
fat guys.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
It was twenty four to one, by the way at
one point, but Yukon made it the twenty run game.
They're up one to zero in the best of three series.
Back to you, by the way.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
This weekend dB over in London, Mets Phillies. Yeah, I
saw Pee Alonzo as much as I love Polar Repete.
He was charming with the media, seem a little too
concerned about where to get good fish and chips and
less about the game.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Yeah, and didn't he ask me like if Sunday roast
is only on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
He's like, when can I get a Sunday roast? And
where's the best fish and chips in Yorkshire pudding?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Like, yo, worry about getting that batting average over the
Mendoza line there, ped Alonzo.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
So thank you dB, Bangers and mash. But that is cool.
I'll tell you you know.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yesterday we talked about that Brazil game for the NFL
that's got some controversy using gang related or not.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
The colored green.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
These international series in all sports is really expand the games,
which is pretty cool. The Mats Phillies. If you don't know.

Hobnobbin at Covin on Rich live from the tiraq dot
com studio. Now, we talked already about forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Do you care?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Do you hold grudges against athletes and actors and rockstars
and people that have done you know, perhaps dopey things
and sometimes serious things. And uh, if you missed any
of that, Danny g will put up the podcast later.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It is accepting people's faults forgiveness. It's true.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
It's almost like saying sorry, all right, we're gonna play
a game in a little bit when a seeing our
swiggy and you know what I wanted to just throw
out there real quick, I.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
Should mention it really quick. You can dial now for that.
Oh yeah, because we're gonna do it at the top
of hour two. So eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox for a shiny stainless steel.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Swiggy get in and win.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And speaking of Will Smith, and you know have people
forgiven him for the slap? Who really cares? But Bed
Boys four is coming out this weekend, so they're doing
a lot of press. They even chimed in on Kelsey's feet.
Take a listen.
Speaker 10 (35:34):
Jason Kelsey trolled the entire world recently and he said
when he let him be know that he does not
wash his feet, he twitted out, this is the tweet
he said, what kind of weirdo washes their feet?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Hotspots?
Speaker 10 (35:52):
All that is necessary. It actually leads to clean healthiest skin.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Your feet.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Getting in bed with those nasty ass feet. Mike Lowry, Yeah,
so that Kelsey story does not seem to go away.
But again, uh, wash your stinky feet. I don't think
it needs to be every shower. I'm standing by my
the post gym or pre uh you know what we
never brought up pre loving shower doesn't need a foot scrub.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
But the wash your feet if you're you can't apparently
bend down to wash your feet, which seems like such
a huge issue. Uh, get one of those like those
pads that like suction into the foot of it your
tub foot scrubby scrub as you just rub your foot
through it, it cleans it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That's it foot scrubby scrub. And we learned culturally to
that what's your feet?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
White guys don't use washcloths and seccatas and all that
as much as as much as other cultures. White guys
are just like, yeah, so bowdy with my hands, all right,
So hey, Kelsey his feet still in the news. But
today I saw that it was National VCR Day and
(37:10):
shout out to my VHS tape that I had labeled
Bears forty nine ers Monday Night Football, knowing that my
mom would never realize that it was Bikini car Wash
company taped for HBO. That's how that's how I that's
how I disguised my stuff back in the day, Dan Byer,
I know you did. My mom was like, man, Ritchie
(37:31):
loves his Wrestling and Sports Illustrated magazine, So oh, that's
not what they were.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
It's also funny because you did reveal once that you
would code them as super Bowls, but it would be
two NFC teams that your mom wouldn't know, yes, and
and but you would know because there's no way that
Giants and Bears would ride in a super Bowl. So
then he definitely knew that that was not a super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh look at that Eagles Rams super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Oh that was Giants and Bears.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Could go either way, that's true.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I didn't say what kind of video, right, you know? Yeah,
but National VCR Day.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
It did get me thinking of all the First of all,
you had a lot of sports on VHS. Remember getting
those bloopers Plays of the year. You'd get the if
your team won a championship, you were lucky enough, you know,
you would order that.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I had that eighty six Mets year in review.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
The tracking must be spent on that one VHS day,
but eventually I got it on dvdgas it's the only
highlight met fans.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Have auto tracking.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Do you remember setting the clock on your VCR to
record sports?
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Mom never did. It's always played in the midnight when well,
we had to.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
My mom would drag us to church on Sundays and
Raider games would be on in the afternoon, so we
would set the timer on the VCR to tape the game,
and then on the way home from church, don't turn
on the radio. Don't turn on there because we did
not want to hear the score. The one other thing
you had to do is you had to turn the
power off of your VCR for that timer, right, They
couldn't keep the power on. You had to turn it
(38:58):
off and off. And then yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Now, on the National VCR Day, Danny g found an ad.
Do you realize, I mean, we forget sometimes how of
all the things that get more expensive inflation inflation right,
food in this and housing in real estate. Back in
the day, there was technology that we forget has actually
gone way down in price. The only thing on planet
(39:24):
Earth that has gone down in price are TV's because,
says Cavino loves to point out, Bro the not TVs
are just big monitors now. True, But you know, I
remember when Cavino and I first met, he was so
proud of the TV. He bought for his first like
big boy apartment, and he spent I remember six thousand
dollars on one of those big flat screens with the
(39:44):
that weighed a ton because that had the big back
to it.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I forgot it was deal. It was a DP.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
It had like had the huge projection behind the screen,
so it was like five ft d.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Took four adults to carry it was. In fact, if
you moved, you were like forget it. Can't take it.
Now you could get a fifty extang TV for a
couple hundred bucks tops. So technology has gotten in the
direction of cheaper back.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
In the day nineteen eighty eight is that ad?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
By the way, Danny g sent me an ad from
eighty eight where a VCR is seven hundred and eighty
eight dollars and blank VHS tapes were fifteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Insane.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Think about how much your parents probably didn't make in
the eighties. That's why those things were valuable. That's why,
you know, not everyone had their own VCR. And you
know that's why Blockbuster in Hollywood video and they came
on the scene and you could rent a video for
a couple bucks.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
I remember as a kid, I have three other siblings,
so my brothers always rough house. I remember we were
like pulling tapes in and out of the VCR so quickly,
and I remember one got stuck in the VCR. I have
very few memories of my father, but the one I
remember is him being so furious that we got the
tape stuck in the VCR. And I remember sitting at
(40:53):
the kitchen table having to unscrew the top off just
to get the tape out. I thought, you put a
peanut butter and gently sandwich. They were just aggressive with it.
He's like you that it was such an industry.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
There were VCR repair shops in little strip malls, I remember,
and spot to your point about everybody being so overprotective
of their VCR.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
There was a time where our apartment caught fire.
Speaker 7 (41:16):
Instead of grabbing my one year old little baby sister,
my stepdad ran and unhooked his VCR and ran out
of the apartment holding his prized VCR.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Priorities the daughter. No.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yeah, my mom almost divorced him over it, so she
didn't know how to rewind the tape yet.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yeah, be kind, rewind. I got to pose this one question.
We'll move on of this old technology. I saw recently
there was a picture of Eminem who's still rocking a BlackBerry.
He's the only He's the guy. Is there any old
tech that you sort of are stuck on or stuff
that you keep just in case, Like do you have
a cassette deck? Do you have a VCR? Do you
(41:54):
have any of the stuff. We'll break it down a
little bit next more Covin on Rich Friday, Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I have a I have a perfectly good mic there
for spot, and he's still sitting in the usual chair.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
This is my seat, that's his, that's his. This is
where I know, but this is where I needed seats. Yes,
there are. This is where I sit.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Profet.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
If your wife leaves for the day, you don't sleep
on her side of the bed. Yeah, I give he
know's my wife. Yeah, I've been with him longer.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Than my wife. We're leaving an honorary spot for him. Yes,
I should.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I just I should just put a gold chain on
his chair and out of him not being here. By
the way, he's at his uh dog is middle school graduation?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Just getting so old?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And by the way, after the show today, Danny g
does a hell of a job putting together the best
of our podcast, The Best of the week drops Saturday morning.
Just search Covin on Rich and you'll get all you
need right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I wanted to start the show by talking about the
whole concept of holding silly grudges, or holding onto an
idea or concept, or just saying that I don't care anymore,
because there's two people in the news today that I
wonder if there's anyone that's still sort of.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like mad at them.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Number One, I hold, I'm really good at holding a grudge.
Your spot, but you're sort of like Spiite. I adore Spie.
Grudges are fun.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Adore it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
In fact, here's a tip before you even talk about
who the two people are, Danny. If let's say you're
hating on someone that did you dirty, if you make
up with them, you have to tell us because we'll
then hold the grudge against someone unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
There was a guy like Effort.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
There was a guy that I had some beef with,
which is rare because I get along with most people.
There was a guy that was a real jerk. Him
and I were, you know, just didn't see eye to eye.
We had a little moment where we, like two grown men, hugged.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It out by the way in retrospect.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
This guy was right, but we had to have Rich's
back so untrue. It's so no, it's so true. Get
I mean, give the quick backstory.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I even forget, so you give it you.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
This was a guy that so at serious XM. It
was kind of like an open four floor plan where
people used to sit at desks in the hallway, and
rich was always running up and down the halls with
his pals, like laughing and loud talking and talking to
everybody and disrupting people. You describing like a fun radio No,
I'm sorry, I'm describing a workplace. So these people that
(03:48):
you know, work with audio all day are trying to
hear things and hear voice tracks and hear music and
all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And Richard's just like ha ha.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And just laughing. And this guy told rich can you
quiet down? He asked him to quiet down, And ever
since then rich was like, I hate that guy.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
This guy's the worst. He's no fun.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's a radio station anyway, it's a it's a place
of entertainment and fun. Anyway. I hated this guy for years.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
We all had to be mean to him.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
In fact, we had an event in the lobby a
coven on Rich event and it was catered with food.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
This guy grabs a plate and spots like, no if
I told him, I was like, I looked him in
the eyes. I'm like, put that food.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
That would be that would be like if we ordered
Buffalo wild wings here, and like I didn't like one
of the editors and I'm like, for everyone except you,
this is for our listeners.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Beat it.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And I sort of made up with this guy, but
I forgot to tell Covino on Spots, so they still
hated it. I'm like, I don't hate their guy anymore.
So if you have a beef with someone, you need
to tell your friends if you made.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Up, but you denied him even though you thought he
was in the right, like because of Rich, Like you
said you just said that, Yeah, yeah, I thought that
he was correct.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But yeah I had to have Rich's back, Like I
just had to hate him for no reason. It's like
even though the reason was.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Kind of It's like when your wife or girlfriend is wrong,
you have to defend them either way. Have you ever
dated a fiery woman that gets in an argument with
someone and you make eye contact with that person, Like
I understand you, but I have to get her back.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Just remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Anyway, There's two people in the news that I wonder
if there's still like animosity. It's like or get over it?
Number one Harrison Bucker. First of all, I was never
mad at him in the first place. He's entitled to
his opinion his beliefs, much like the Kelsey's and Mahomes.
And everyone was like, hey, listen, I don't necessarily agree
with everything he said, but I don't hate him. There
(05:38):
were people that trying to cancel this guy. He happens
to be the one player in that special teams meeting
that helps save the life of bj Thompson, the chief
that had a seizure. So does heroic action make up
for the fact that you might not agree with his beliefs?
Is anyone's still mad at Harrison Budker, Like you said,
(06:00):
I was never bad at him in the first place
based on what he did.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, I don't think what he did was that egregious.
And the fact that he was helpful to his teammate,
which is what everyone said all along. Great guy.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
And we have a little audio by the way of
the chief trainer who kind of describes what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, let's go this facility.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
We have a doctor's office down the hall and doctor J. P.
Darsh from Kansas University Health System was there. He came
up and assisted in. As a team. We tried to
stabilize bj and then put him on the floor while
he's still seizing, and then he went into cardiac arrest.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Okay, so that was the situation. And then then he said,
this is Rick.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
When he had this seizure, Butker immediately ran towards the
training room and grabbed Julie Freimeyer and David Glover and
then grabbed me.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We went into the room.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Eventually, Uh, Tiffany Morton and Evan Kraft came in a.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Lot of names, but Butker was the first one to
be there.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And by the way, he was able to help because
his wife was doing launch I'm kidding, I'm he.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Was well fed because she made him a sandwich. I mean,
so right, yeah, what's gonna happen something.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But here, in the face of adversity, some people run
towards the fire, and some people run away from the fire.
And the people that run towards the fire are people
of great character. So maybe a little stupid, but people
of great character, regardless of whether or not you agreed
with what Butcker said.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
The guy just helps save a life. Let's move on
from Harrison. I don't think so. It's a step back opportunity.
It's where you.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I think you're so focused in on the comments that
he made at that day, at that moment, that now
you take a step back to see a little bit
more of maybe who Harrison Butker is you.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Mean the guy of great character that his teammates described
every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You mean the man who has certain beliefs and in
the off season was invited to speak, probably paid to
speak at a conservative university to share his conservative beliefs.
I don't conservative.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Those sisters then went out and said, yeah, we don't
agree with anything he said.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You don't need to agree, pFET.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't agree with university though, like the school.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I just you ever got to a concert in the
lead singer talks about his views. Yes, Do you ever
leave like let's get the heck out of here? Some
people did, but I think the majority of the people
are like, all right, let's go get a beer. Yeah,
you know, it may be a topic you don't even
care about, not even like be opposed to but you
just don't care about.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But yeah, it's it's funny how people will judge someone
based on words they may not agree with instead of actions.
This guy helps save a life, and it's like, yeah, yeah,
but but you know what he said. He said some
moral stuff that I don't necessarily agree with.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Honestly, it's also just exhausting. It's exhausting. True.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I have no energy, Dann Bayer, no energy to argue
with people about stuff I truly don't really care that
much about.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
We're entering we're entering a political cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
If you worried about what everyone said about Trump or Biden,
you your head would spin off. Just hey, believe what
you want to believe. I may disagree, I may agree.
Live your life. As t I and Rihanna once said,
live your life.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The other person thanks for the damn yral great backup
saying you're a great host. I mean, the guy's amaze.
The other person Will Smith, Yeah, I get it. Guy
jumped on stage.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Slap slap.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Do you still hold like some odd fan animosity like man,
I can't get with what we'll did to Chris Rock
because I think we all felt that way like, dude,
he's on stage, he's a comedian. I know you probably
haven't some weird times at your wife, but you don't
slap a man. Bad Boys for is coming out this weekend?
Are there gonna be people that are still like I
(09:46):
haven't forgiven Will Smith?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
He's a star.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Have you seen that video of him operating a gun
and a camera at the same time that's gone viral?
Speaker 5 (09:54):
No, I miss that, unbelieva up. Yeah, I look at
him differently. I don't hold a I just like profet does.
But because he's an actor, because he was always over
the top, like there was always this over the top happiness, smile,
joking around sort of thing, and then you see that
(10:16):
come out.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I just I don't know what's real and what's fake.
Right the front that he put on for years, especially
when after all that slap stuff and his marriage and
all the stuff behind the scenes, It's like everyone has
dirty laundry, Everyone has things that goes on in their
private life that they don't necessarily share, but it was
so exposed.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
So this like pedestal we put Will Smith on just
crumbled and we're all like, okay, not the fresh prince,
right and not the fresh prince. You know, I think
a lot of people forgave him for the incident, but
they didn't forget. A lot of people forgive, they never forget. Yeah,
and it'll always stick in your head. But I think
we always have to remind ourselves. His wife, I mean,
(10:56):
emasculated him in every possible way. Imagine like your wife
went on podcast talking about the stuff that Jada would
talk about.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's uh, it just pulled back rough, it pulled back
the veil.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So I ask you Fox Sports Radio Nation at Covin
and Rigel, if you want to try me in eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox. As a fan of sports, movies, music,
do you hold grudges on these things? Like let's say, uh,
if you were a fan of the Dixie Chicks back
of the day and you're like, I don't like what
they said about the President's just the chicks, right, It's
just the chicks.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Do you hold those grudges If some if some politician
gets endorsed by someone, are you like, well, hold on, now,
I don't know if I like that person anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
My example of this, and I don't know if I'm
wrong or right, because I feel like a lot of
people align with this is Kanye. For me, it was
just like one. I think it all started with the
Taylor Swift thing. I gotta be honest, I think it did.
And when he grabbed the mic, when he grabbed the
mic on stage during the one of the VMA's and like,
you know, is the greatest artist of all time?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
No, he said, I remember, Aready said, yea, yalla, tell it.
I'm gonna let you finish. There it is, I'm gonna
let you finish. But Beyonce. Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
That was the best. That was the beginning of it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Not that I was ever a huge Kanye West fan,
but he had a few good albums, a few good
songs if you could radio hits, and I was.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I enjoyed his music. And then after that he just
started unraveling more and more and more.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Similar to Will Smith, but not as bad, and because
Will Smith has bounced back, but it just it left
a bad taste in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So now, like any sort of Kanye music, I'm done with.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I've got a sports analogy, and it's it's really where
you don't know where the line is. You think you know,
or you're always pushing it, but you really don't realize
when you cross it and it's Phil Mickelson. Phil Mickelson
was loved for decades and in fact won the PGA
Championship three years ago when he was fifty and was
being loved.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But when this live stuff came up, the stuff that
he said.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
About you know, the Saudi's and then his role and
now it's completely changed, and I don't buy. We always
knew he had this face, you know, smiling and you know,
friendly Phil, and everybody loved Phil, but like, I didn't
think that that would be the line to cross it,
but it absolutely was.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It like when Hulk Hogan went Hollywood Hogan.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, Dan Byron, let me ask my world exploded sticking
in golf, how did you feel after the whole Tiger
Woods kind of personal life things like between the affairs
and then the drug It wasn't drugs, was alcohol, Yeah,
but yeah, the golf club to the right, all that.
Yeah there, I'll tell you what I was at the Masters,
(13:37):
the first Masters he played when he came back after
the scandal, he broke his leg and you know, won
the US Open in two thousand and eight with torn ligaments,
but he went and played the next year, and then
the scandal happened, and there were people who stood and
gave him a standing ovation as a former champion and
as of Tiger Woods, and I'm like, well, how are
we giving him a standing ovation? This is in twenty
ten right now. I look back at it and I'm like, Tiger, Yeah,
(14:00):
it's the same old Tigers. You know, look, enough time
is passed. But it's also the the just it wasn't.
Tiger never tried to fool me because with his you know,
like I'm great smiling like miss Smith and Phil Mickelson,
he was always very closed. He was always very insular,
wouldn't give much and so then you're like, okay, that's
(14:21):
what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
So it didn't have as much of an effect. So
but it did. There was a little bit. But then
I got I got passed.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I mean, was I the only one that was like
oddly impressed that he balanced all that for a while,
all those women, I thought, you know, having a wife
and kids and everything.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
That's when he was playing his best golf.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Imagine imagine you were, you know, succeeding in your career,
You had a family, and you had all these women
on the side, and it took a while to be exposed.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Honestly, it was just one woman. You want to be
on top of your game, to have a schedule, that
fel that's that's when you're hiding your phone. Ladies.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't want to put this in your mind, but
multiple thing. If your guy is very possessive of his phone,
not a.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Good thing. So hey, do you forgive? Do you move on?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Or you a grudgey type of person where I'll never
like Harrison Buker, I'll never like will Smith, Lebron James Is.
People that like hate the decision he made back in
the days. There's people that are like Deshaun Watson, piece
of garbage, Michael Vick never will like him. There are players,
there are athletes, there are superstars in the world of
(15:33):
sports music acting that you'll never like. And you were saying,
spot it's interesting because if your talent over outweighs the drama,
like something like Kanye.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Kanye, he said some stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
But people are still wearing the sneakers, people are still
wearing their yeasies. People will still listen to his music.
There's a lot of people that like Cavino still rocks
his easies once.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
In a while. What's the term, what's the term that
I know?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Like the deesem Oh, the problematic Kanye is the problematic
fave for a lot of people out there where. I've
seen him release albums and people still tie themselves into
knots to justify it listening to it, or even just
still justify to the mus that they think the music
is still good when clearly these albums have a lot
of problems. If someone is he's an artist, if someone's
(16:18):
troubled and you still like their stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I mean, look at R Kelly. Radio stations stop playing
his stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I think Michael VICKI you said Michael Vick earlier, he
seems like the perfect one. Because I do know there
is a very good contingent of people out there who
are more than willing to look past what Michael Vick
did to talk about just what an unbelievable talent he
was when he was playing football. But there is also
still a very good number of people who will never
forgive him for the dog fighting.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
This speaks to another point I was gonna make. It
really does depend on what they did. Like there are
people that are doing way worse than what Harrison, Butker
and will Smith did and they're either still playing or
they've made comebacks in their you know, personal life or
their careers.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, to that point.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
It talked to the NBA Finals right now, Kyrie promoted
something that was anti Semitic, remember, and he's bounced back
in a major way.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Kyrie was talking about the Earth being flat, and you
know it wasn't very kind to the Jewish community. And
remember he was he was suspended for a while and
we didn't know when he was coming back, but we moved.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
All stuff with COVID and not playing home games. The
other problem with it. He might have been right about that. R.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Kelly. Oh, I'm not denying that, and I don't mean
to laugh.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
But when you look back at his music that you
all kind of dismissed and you're like, oh wait.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
A second, now it makes sense.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah, and then you're like, wait, this was and yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You know what Michael Jackson, you know, he passed away,
and I think that sort of is why we've you know,
like maybe turned a blind eye too, because it we're
always more accusations and proof, right, So it's.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Like even in life, he in life he transd he
was just so popular even in life. He transcended any
sort of allegations of Fortunately that that documentary did change
my opinion. I mean, actually, I mean it did.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Michael Jackson would have could have murdered people, and they've
been like, yo, but Thriller is pretty good.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Right, yeah, honestly, rich his music is so powerful that
people were able to separate his personal life from his
music because slowly Thriller started getting played at Halloween again.
Radio stations started playing.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You go to any resort around the world, like, you know,
an all inclusive Dominican Republic, Mexico, anywhere, it's still like
Michael Jackson showing the lobby like no one cares.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I think there's a difference between believing it and then
just separating from it. Like I think people choose not
to believe it, and that's their excuse for not being
affected by it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
The other day, someone goes, what are some of your
favorite TV shows over the last twenty years, And I
was like, oh, man, Dexter, I loved Sopranos, Breaking Bed.
You know, the list goes on, and I said, you
know what I loved, man. We forget how much we
all loved House of Cards, and then Kevin Spacey, you know,
some creep allegations and you're like.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, he can go away forever.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But you almost had to pretend like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love TOAs of Cards.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, and you also like cross it off your list
of greatest shows.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It's how it is. Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
He was another person that I separated the art from
the person because I did enjoy all his face.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Sure, projects so good.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I think the thing that makes us all kind of
complicated to going back to Bucker for a second, is
that certain people, depending on your stature, like there's plenty
of people who have gone the other way saying some
things political who are life savers like doctors who maybe
say they say one thing about a political a geopolitical
situation and they lose their jobs over it because of
(19:41):
the amounts of amounts pressure put on it. And yet
we will never say anything about that. So I look
at like someone like Butcker, and I'm like it if
he wasn't the kicker, he's the kicker.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, just come on, I listen.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
There's there's also the chance that he was maybe the
one closest to the door, So who was the first
one to be able to believe it's not like anybody
you know decaid well, I'm not going to run and
get help like like that wasn't the stance.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just he happened to be the one.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
But that's why I say to take a step back
and to look at it that way. That's what the
Butcker situation did for me. Of you know, you hear
this and you take a step back for what he said,
and you realize, okay, what what is important and the
bigger picture that it actually you meant spots at it earlier.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Everybody's got something, you know, and it's.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It's to the degree of does it body you that much?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Like Harrison Bucker words Aaron Rodgers, the guy does ayahuasca
and he has thoughts.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
About COVID you might not agree with. Is he a
bad guy? Is he bringing it to work?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
No, he's not bringing it to work. He's not doing it,
you know, on the field or during the game. It's
it's in your personal life.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So you're the people. These are real people at.

someone like Ed Milett for John Gordon. We've all been
(22:56):
through some sort of adversity to get to the top.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glaser and Mental Wealth podcast
on the Ieart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
get podcasts.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Oh Yeah, Live from the Tirac dot com Studio Covino
and Rich we got spot here perfet on the Ones
and Twues Danny g.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
And Dan Bayer.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
By the way, one last thought about whether or not
you hold grudges against athletes and rock stars and actors
A la Harrison Bucker is a hero.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Now do you still care about what he said? Will Smith?
Do you care about to slap when you're gonna go
see bed Moys for this weekend? Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
One other thing came to mind, what about cheaters in
sports who paid their dues, did their time?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Like Tatis Junior?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Remember like the yo he was key claiming something for
his hair and they I was a drug Andy Pettitt
with hgah, some of the steroid era people do care
if they've paid their their dues and did their time.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Very bold to bring this up in Los Angeles where
people still bring up the astros in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, do you blame every astro like they tainted forever?
Do you see Al Tuove and Forever?
Speaker 7 (24:13):
He's a piece of garbage to you, Not every astro,
but I look at their franchise a lot differently. As
far as Andy Pettitt, he handled it the right way.
We've talked about that on our show before. Yeah, he
came out and said, I'm sorry. I wanted to get
back to help my team and help the fans chair
for a winner, and it was part of my recovery
and I shouldn't have did it. And after that it
(24:33):
seemed like people forgave him because he was honest about it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
What if it genuinely seems accidental, like at Jimmy Garoppolo,
or is like I don't even know what you're talking about,
or like Ryan Garcia when he just fought what a
month ago when he said, you know, I just I
don't it's not true.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I'm taking vitamins. It's tough for me to believe anything.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Right the guys say, even to the Andy Pettit thing,
You're like, all right, you know, like it's you.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Maybe he's really.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Good at apologizing, But me, it's just erases best case scenario.
Erase is giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I may hold it.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Against them for personal rivalries, you know, Michigan football, you know,
as an Ohio State fan, anything that they do, like,
I you know, just think that's it's the worst in
the world. The whole videotaping stuff. Everybody's moved on. But
I'm still hung up on it for my fandom. You know,
if you're a Dodgers fan, you lost the World Series,
absolutely I get while you're booing the Astros, every single
(25:28):
everyone else sort of vote for it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Are you a deny till you die type of guy?
Just the I just hate how I don't know what
the white right word is, Like, well, we'll forgive Big Poppy,
we'll forgive petit, but like Barry Bonds is gone forever.
Like likability, there's just some people that are more likable.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, but they all.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Did the same thing, And I guess that's the problem
is Like again, it's it's the inconsistency of it that
just drives me insane.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Well, are they likable or not? Big Poppies likable, not
that big not.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
To drag it or not?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Do you find a difference between a guy who's just
trying to make it in the league as opposed to Bombs,
who we felt would have been a Hall of Famer
without it.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know what, I a little bit like if I
see some young guys like on the border, like he's
like a lifer minor league player who might get a
cup of coffee in the bigs. If he gets popped
for something, I'm almost like, I get it.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I would cheat.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
If I was a professional athlete, I would have been
so guilty with balco and everything.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I would have been the guy like inject.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Me, I want to be a star and a ninth
suspension in minor league based exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
My wife hit me up on the way to work
today and she said, uh, it's weird when you're a
really innocent guy, like I've been a great guy for
a good decade.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Post now I think, well for the most part, huh.
I My wife goes dejected the timeline on that.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
She goes, uh, are you gonna come clean? Or what
if a woman ever says to you, are you gonna
come clean?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Or what? My first thought spot was, I've done nothing wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
What is she talking about? And then you start think
like have I done something wrong? And she had her
she had put her ice coffee in the fridge and
I drank it all That's what it was. But I
was like, She's like, what if you would have been like,
I admit it, Yeah, I was with hookers.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
You get that text from your significant other sometimes that
says we need to talk.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh no, I know, Danny. What if I hit you
up and I was like, yo, bro, we got a chat.
I know what you did. You'd be like, what did
I do?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Immediate sinking feeling, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So, Hey, something to think about, Harrison Bucker, Will Smith do?
The whole grudge is do you care?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Do you not care? I will leave that up to
you now before we get to dB.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
In an update NBA Finals Game one last night, you know,
you could say Celtics held serve they wanted home a
couple observations. You know, Luca put up thirty, Kyrie didn't
hit a three zero four five from three point range.
They got off to a hot start. There was a
moment in the third quarter where you're like, yo, this
game is single digit lead. I wrote, I remember looking,
(27:58):
I was like seventy two sixty four.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
This is a game.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
And then as Danny g hit me up with and
nar it is boom blows the dynamite. Yeah, Celtics just
got hot again. So do you look at that as
a Hey, listen, home team won by eighteen, got a
little carried away. Should the Mavericks worry they shot less
from the field, Like, is it just a home team
wins Game one. Are you looking any more into it?
Speaker 7 (28:22):
It went the way I kind of thought it would,
except now Game two sets it up for the MAVs
to really need to steal that one in Boston. I
feel like to get where they need to be going
to Dallas, they need Game two. And Kyrie needs to
get this monkey off his back against the Celtics. I
saw a stat this morning. He is zero to eleven
his last eleven games against the Celtics' former team.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
If you could steal game two Sunday, that is Hella
momentum going into Dallas next week. And as you said,
we've talked about how the Eastern Conference Celtics on a
moonwalk to speaking of Michael Jackson before they've been they
like move walked into the NBA Finals, no real test.
They've only lost two games in the whole postseason. They
had the one seed, though, Like that's what you're supposed
(29:06):
to get. When you're the one seed, you get the
lesser seeded, you get the lesser quality opponents. They buy
virtue of them winning a lot of games in the
regular season, like it just becomes a catch twenty two.
We do this in the postseason, a lot.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I know, it's like, oh, yeah, they had an easy road, Yeah,
because they had earned the right for that easy road,
and in.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Theory, yes, but when Jimmy Butler doesn't play, Donovan Mitchell
misses the last couple of games, haves Tyrese Halliburton's out
there for Indiana, it doesn't put as much strangth. Like
I actually felt that Dallas's playoff run, even though it
wasn't excruciating, Minnesota in five games played a little bit
of a part of that.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Like I felt like, I don't know if.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
They were underestimating Boston last night, it was just the
energy or the return of Porzingis, but they obviously didn't
come ready to play, And I don't know if they
were reading their own news clippings or if it was
just such a grind and they felt that they could
still put fourth and eighty percent effort. Not that they
didn't try, but I just don't think that they were
prepared for Game one. And Boston looked like a team
where a lot of the guys have been in the
(30:05):
NBA Finals before. You know, they were there two years ago.
Drew Holiday played in one three years ago, so you
kind of knew what it was. Dallas kind of didn't
have that, didn't have that feel even though Kyrie had
played in the finals.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
A mere strategy wise, you're really just looking to split
those first two games. So Dallas has to put that
behind them and say, Yo, Sunday, let's step it up.
Steal one in Boston, go back to Dallas next week,
tied up, and now you got yourself a series. And
if you're a big hockey fan, as you know, NHL
Stanley Cup starts tomorrow. But let's go to dB for
an update, Dan Byer, what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Guys? You kind of coach?
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Danny Hurley reportedly in La today meeting with the Lakers
about their head coaching vacancy. The Field of sixty eight
did report that Yukon is trying to up a contract
offered Hurley, but the numbers likely wouldn't top whatever the
Lakers provide. Hurley did sign an extension with the school
last summer after their first national championship. Now coming off
back to back national titles. The NFL's preseason schedule at
(31:01):
release today, the final games will be taking place on Sunday,
August twenty fifth. The first is the Hall of Fame
Game in Canton, Ohio on Thursday, August first, featuring the
Texans and Bears.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Thirteen.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Carlos Alcarez advanced to the French Open final with a
win over Janick Center in five sets. Alexander Zvere will
now face Alcarez in the final. He beat Casper Route
today in four sets. The Mike Tyson Jake Paul Fights
Bend postponed from July twentieth, not it'll take place guys
November fifteenth, still will be held at and T Stadium
in Arlington. In golf at the Memorial Mirefield Village second
(31:33):
round play, Scotti Scheffler is a two shot lead. He's
eight under par and a couple of baseball notes. Yankees
Dodgers tonight in the Bronx. Nojan Soto for the Yankees,
but the Yankees getting good news on the MRI on
his forearm, not believed to be a serious injury, but
gonna sit out tonight because of sorenis. And in college
Baseball Super Regional in the best of three game one matchup,
(31:55):
Florida State top dukon today twenty four to four, twenty
four to four. He twenty four runs, the most scored
by a team. Yes, in the.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
The softball score in the valley here hat grown ass
fat guys.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
It was twenty four to one, by the way at
one point, but Yukon made it the twenty run game.
They're up one to zero in the best of three series.
Back to you, by the way.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
This weekend dB over in London, Mets Phillies. Yeah, I
saw Pee Alonzo as much as I love Polar Repete.
He was charming with the media, seem a little too
concerned about where to get good fish and chips and
less about the game.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Yeah, and didn't he ask me like if Sunday roast
is only on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
He's like, when can I get a Sunday roast? And
where's the best fish and chips in Yorkshire pudding?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Like, yo, worry about getting that batting average over the
Mendoza line there, ped Alonzo.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
So thank you dB, Bangers and mash. But that is cool.
I'll tell you you know.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yesterday we talked about that Brazil game for the NFL
that's got some controversy using gang related or not.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
The colored green.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
These international series in all sports is really expand the games,
which is pretty cool. The Mats Phillies. If you don't know.
This weekend we'll be playing in London. All right, We

Hobnobbin at Covin on Rich live from the tiraq dot
com studio. Now, we talked already about forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Do you care?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Do you hold grudges against athletes and actors and rockstars
and people that have done you know, perhaps dopey things
and sometimes serious things. And uh, if you missed any
of that, Danny g will put up the podcast later.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
It is accepting people's faults forgiveness. It's true.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
It's almost like saying sorry, all right, we're gonna play
a game in a little bit when a seeing our
swiggy and you know what I wanted to just throw
out there real quick, I.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
Should mention it really quick. You can dial now for that.
Oh yeah, because we're gonna do it at the top
of hour two. So eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox for a shiny stainless steel.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Swiggy get in and win.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And speaking of Will Smith, and you know have people
forgiven him for the slap? Who really cares? But Bed
Boys four is coming out this weekend, so they're doing
a lot of press. They even chimed in on Kelsey's feet.
Take a listen.
Speaker 10 (35:34):
Jason Kelsey trolled the entire world recently and he said
when he let him be know that he does not
wash his feet, he twitted out, this is the tweet
he said, what kind of weirdo washes their feet?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Hotspots?
Speaker 10 (35:52):
All that is necessary. It actually leads to clean healthiest skin.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Your feet.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Getting in bed with those nasty ass feet. Mike Lowry, Yeah,
so that Kelsey story does not seem to go away.
But again, uh, wash your stinky feet. I don't think
it needs to be every shower. I'm standing by my
the post gym or pre uh you know what we
never brought up pre loving shower doesn't need a foot scrub.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
But the wash your feet if you're you can't apparently
bend down to wash your feet, which seems like such
a huge issue. Uh, get one of those like those
pads that like suction into the foot of it your
tub foot scrubby scrub as you just rub your foot
through it, it cleans it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That's it foot scrubby scrub. And we learned culturally to
that what's your feet?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
White guys don't use washcloths and seccatas and all that
as much as as much as other cultures. White guys
are just like, yeah, so bowdy with my hands, all right,
So hey, Kelsey his feet still in the news. But
today I saw that it was National VCR Day and
(37:10):
shout out to my VHS tape that I had labeled
Bears forty nine ers Monday Night Football, knowing that my
mom would never realize that it was Bikini car Wash
company taped for HBO. That's how that's how I that's
how I disguised my stuff back in the day, Dan Byer,
I know you did. My mom was like, man, Ritchie
(37:31):
loves his Wrestling and Sports Illustrated magazine, So oh, that's
not what they were.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
It's also funny because you did reveal once that you
would code them as super Bowls, but it would be
two NFC teams that your mom wouldn't know, yes, and
and but you would know because there's no way that
Giants and Bears would ride in a super Bowl. So
then he definitely knew that that was not a super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh look at that Eagles Rams super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Oh that was Giants and Bears.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Could go either way, that's true.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I didn't say what kind of video, right, you know? Yeah,
but National VCR Day.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
It did get me thinking of all the First of all,
you had a lot of sports on VHS. Remember getting
those bloopers Plays of the year. You'd get the if
your team won a championship, you were lucky enough, you know,
you would order that.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I had that eighty six Mets year in review.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
The tracking must be spent on that one VHS day,
but eventually I got it on dvdgas it's the only
highlight met fans.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Have auto tracking.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Do you remember setting the clock on your VCR to
record sports?
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Mom never did. It's always played in the midnight when well,
we had to.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
My mom would drag us to church on Sundays and
Raider games would be on in the afternoon, so we
would set the timer on the VCR to tape the game,
and then on the way home from church, don't turn
on the radio. Don't turn on there because we did
not want to hear the score. The one other thing
you had to do is you had to turn the
power off of your VCR for that timer, right, They
couldn't keep the power on. You had to turn it
(38:58):
off and off. And then yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Now, on the National VCR Day, Danny g found an ad.
Do you realize, I mean, we forget sometimes how of
all the things that get more expensive inflation inflation right,
food in this and housing in real estate. Back in
the day, there was technology that we forget has actually
gone way down in price. The only thing on planet
(39:24):
Earth that has gone down in price are TV's because,
says Cavino loves to point out, Bro the not TVs
are just big monitors now. True, But you know, I
remember when Cavino and I first met, he was so
proud of the TV. He bought for his first like
big boy apartment, and he spent I remember six thousand
dollars on one of those big flat screens with the
(39:44):
that weighed a ton because that had the big back
to it.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I forgot it was deal. It was a DP.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
It had like had the huge projection behind the screen,
so it was like five ft d.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Took four adults to carry it was. In fact, if
you moved, you were like forget it. Can't take it.
Now you could get a fifty extang TV for a
couple hundred bucks tops. So technology has gotten in the
direction of cheaper back.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
In the day nineteen eighty eight is that ad?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
By the way, Danny g sent me an ad from
eighty eight where a VCR is seven hundred and eighty
eight dollars and blank VHS tapes were fifteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Insane.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Think about how much your parents probably didn't make in
the eighties. That's why those things were valuable. That's why,
you know, not everyone had their own VCR. And you
know that's why Blockbuster in Hollywood video and they came
on the scene and you could rent a video for
a couple bucks.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That was a big deal.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
I remember as a kid, I have three other siblings,
so my brothers always rough house. I remember we were
like pulling tapes in and out of the VCR so quickly,
and I remember one got stuck in the VCR. I have
very few memories of my father, but the one I
remember is him being so furious that we got the
tape stuck in the VCR. And I remember sitting at
(40:53):
the kitchen table having to unscrew the top off just
to get the tape out. I thought, you put a
peanut butter and gently sandwich. They were just aggressive with it.
He's like you that it was such an industry.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
There were VCR repair shops in little strip malls, I remember,
and spot to your point about everybody being so overprotective
of their VCR.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
There was a time where our apartment caught fire.
Speaker 7 (41:16):
Instead of grabbing my one year old little baby sister,
my stepdad ran and unhooked his VCR and ran out
of the apartment holding his prized VCR.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Priorities the daughter. No.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Yeah, my mom almost divorced him over it, so she
didn't know how to rewind the tape yet.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yeah, be kind, rewind. I got to pose this one question.
We'll move on of this old technology. I saw recently
there was a picture of Eminem who's still rocking a BlackBerry.
He's the only He's the guy. Is there any old
tech that you sort of are stuck on or stuff
that you keep just in case, Like do you have
a cassette deck? Do you have a VCR? Do you
(41:54):
have any of the stuff. We'll break it down a
little bit next more Covin on Rich Friday, Fox Sports Radio,
