Profet Loncrowned Spotty on the videos at Covino and Rich
and we do this every Thursday. Old School in fifty
hits and today was the debut of George Herman Ruth
and it changed baseball forever. As you guys remember, he
was a pitcher and he debuted today on this day
(02:19):
in nineteen fourteen, which, if you do the math, was
one hundred and ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is that crazy man? You know? Could I go out
on a limb and say there are very few people
from nineteen fourteen that their name and legacy still lives on.
Think about it?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Who fourteen? I mean like historical figures.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, yeah, But I'm saying like other than like the
president or something like Teddye Roosevelt, like other than like
people that were running things. Who are we talking about
from one hundred years ago? Babe Ruth is a legend
and today's day he stepped on that baseball diamond for
the first time and made history.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So based on that this historical day, I want to
talk about any debut that stands out to you. Could
be in sports, some name you heard for years made
his debut, it stuck out in your memory, is unforgettable.
Could be on TV, it could be anywhere. It could
be a band, it could be anything. Okay, now I'm
(03:19):
gonna take you back, take you back. Doo Doo doo doo,
take you back.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm gonna take Frank Stalo you're a frank saloon topic guy.
I always do that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oh oh, take you back, And we're also gonna take
your phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
I'm Gonna take you Back.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
The year was.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Nineteen eighty three. Three, nineteen eighty three. I was a
pumpkin pie haircutted little kid, right, pumpkin pie haircutted little kid. Rich.
I look like Ernie Rayes Junior from Sidekicks, and I'm
not even Filipino, but that's how I looked, right, I
look like from Fantasy Island. And I was so busty
(04:02):
playing No, that's Covino. I was so pumped because I
had these toys. I think you've heard of them, called
he Men he man. But here's the thing about he men.
He men were toys that just looked awesome, right, But
we didn't know the backstory of these toys really at all,
other than what we read in the packets and stuff.
(04:23):
We didn't know the backstory. So in September of nineteen
eighty three, I had just started third grade. I had
other friends that had the same haircut as me, and
I remember telling my friends, Yo, when we get home
from school today, he man debuts, and I remember Rich
(04:43):
being on the phone with one of my best buds,
my little grade school buds on the phone, like it's
gonna start you watching, and we were so pumped. And
everybody remembers the first time they heard this. You're like, oh, oh.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Man, listen, you're a little older than me there, buddy boy.
But he Man that if you watched the toys and
the shows that made America, those great History Channel specialis, yeah,
you realize that he Man was not supposed to be
this big hit. They they scrambled to make this a
hit because everyone's loving it.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, well, the backstories were so great. Adam Prince of Eternia.
He was your favorite, Rich.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Your favorite was Finish though, frist though was great.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I had all the.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Toys, Tuttle Secret Power the day I held.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think or Stink or I don't know, but I
had them all and I would have them all set up,
and they were cool toys. But when that cartoon debuted,
it only aired for like two years, but I loved it.
And if you remember the premise, you would well, they
would always teach you a lesson at the end of
the cartoon. But you were supposed to find orco throughout
(05:58):
the each episode, you remember that, here's a fine work covering.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You know what. Not that I think about it was
Shira might have been my first crush, and I love
how Skeletor lives on in meme forma.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's the best. Yeah, till next time, till next time,
that's the best. So yeah, I do remember that as
a little kid on a throwback Thursday when that happened.
I'll throw out another one that has to be just
on the list of memorable because everybody talks about it,
and anybody that's into music, you hear the same story
(06:29):
over and over again. My life changed, and music changed
and everything changed. The day the Beatles made their American
debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, you hear everybody talk
about how what a life changing, impactful event that was.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh, I thought you were gonna say when klayke and
debut on American Idol.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, that was that's on my list.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
But I thought you were gonna go. Michael Jackson moonwalk
on the Motown twenty five.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That was an impactful moment for sure. The debut.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah, for a lot of them as little kids, that
was the debut for us. For mind listen.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It wasn't the debut with Michael Jackson, but then he
Chee's right view of the moonwalk and.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Of his milwawk, Yeah, of his mid blok and we
were like, whoa was he floating? What was that?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
And for years we tried to do it and kids
still try to do it today, still try to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But yeah, the Beatles made their debut I believe on
the Ed Sullivan Show in nineteen sixty four. If I'm
not mistaken, but you just hear so many people it's
as if I've heard Ozzy Osbourne again. He was in England.
But Ozzi said that he felt like life was in
black and white and then all of a sudden was
in color once he heard the Beatles, Like everything changed
(07:41):
once he heard the Beatles, and once they were introduced
to America, music change, life changed, pop culture changed. That
was the debut, dude, debut that changed our culture. So
your most memorable debuts, of course you could include sports
because this only comes up on a throw Back Thursday
because of Babe Ruth.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, I have a couple of baseball ones. I'm a
couple of sports ones, and then some movie ones. If
you want me to just zip through these.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, can I say this one? Because I know you're
gonna forget. And we were both there the devee of
brock Purty, your boy, we were.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
There, down, you were there. I wrote it because we
were there.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
And his diary we were.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, it's not in my show notes, it's it's in
my diary spots, right, That's why it's well, can I
take you through that day? Cavino and I met a
couple buddies up in the Bay Area. I'm a big
Niners fan. It was Dolphins Niners, and when you're at
the game, you don't get the coverage you get when
you watch on Fox or CBS. So we're like, Yo,
(08:42):
did Jimmy g get hurt? Is he sick? What's doing?
Is he out of the game for a play? Is
it a series? Is he done? What the hell is
going on? You aren't hearing anything in the stadium. And
I remember thinking rock Party, Who the hell is this guy?
Brock Party? And then when you got the news that
Garoppolo was done, Cavino and I I remember where we were.
We were at a steakhouse and I was sort of
(09:04):
like Poudy Battle Goose. The playoffs are not who cares
and then brock Perty just decided to shock everyone. And
for the last two years now he's uh, you know,
living up to every expectation I've had at least.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I mean, but I'll never forget it because I remember
that day so clearly. We were there, so impactful and
memorable to us, and it's a name we haven't stopped
talking about since. So I think everybody can relate to
some degree.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Now when there's talked about players Cavino, where you know
they're going to be the man or the woe man.
Sometimes they are a little flat. I'll give you two
flat ones. Uh when men Yama, that was like okay,
there was no like wow his debut. Caitlyn Clark her
first game was.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like turnover here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, Lebron if you want to look back, Lebron scored
twenty five in his first game. Here's one that lived
up to the hype. Before there was Paul Skeens, who
would you say, my I have been one of the
most anticipated pitchers in baseball. He won a World Series,
got hurt a little much.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But uh, Saale who you know Strasburg?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
About Strasburgh, Yeah, okay, Strasbourg was the most anticipated picture
of a generation. His first start, seven innings, fourteen strikeouts
in the win.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
See now, yeah, if you were there, you'll never forget that.
You'll never forget that if you were there, if you're
a fan, and that's what we're getting that your phone
calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, and at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. I'll give you another one that
I remember too, just based on the hype. I was
working in rock radio early in my career at k Rock,
(10:43):
New York, and there was talk of a super group.
Not the Proclaimers, Rich, I know, they're one of your
favorite supergroups, but then actual, oh, an actual supergroup. Meaning
was that was that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
When you were going to leave Minudo for Gotsmack.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Super This is a super duper group. And the talk
was damn Yankees. No, the members of Rage Against the
Machine are joining forces with Chris Cornell of a Sound Garden,
And you're like, what for me as a rock fan? Yeah,
So for me as a rock fan, I'm like, this
is incredible. I can't wait to hear this. And I'll
(11:22):
never forget their debut because it was on the marquee
of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. I
believe it was in two thousand and two. They performed
on a mark. I remember seeing the marquee and then
performing and I'm like, wow, this is them for the
first time. And you know, at the time, I wasn't
that thrilled. But from today's perspective, I just wish we
had more of that because I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
What was I called him?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Was that audio slave?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Audio slave? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Say audio?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
What was Temple of the Dog?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What was that Temple of the Dog? Was Eddie Vedder?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Chris Striker?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, Hunger Strike?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Good, I got one? Can I do a music one? Okay?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Tiev And it's related to hip hop. You know, in
nineteen ninety it still was not normal to see hip
hop stars all over TV and movies. They were still
breaking into that genre and crossing over. So September tenth,
nineteen ninety, NBC debuted the pilot episode for The Fresh
Prince of bel Air and I remember me, yeah, I
(12:19):
remember me and my friends getting ready for it because
we saw the commercials. We had our VHS tapes ready
taped it, watched it over and over it changed TV
as far as the way we know.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's awesome, man, So to getting hip hop, I do
remember this. I don't. You might have to look up
the year, but I remember watching when Leaders, when Bust
the Rhymes and Leaders of the New School made their
debut on the Arsenio Hall Show. Yeah, and you know
that's when Bus the Rhymes became a star. I remember
watching that because I like the tribe called Quest and
they performed scenario.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
So yeah, I remember our Sineo and NBC with a
Fresh Prince of bel Air really changed the game as
far as hip rappers on TV.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, really cool.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And there is a great story Danny g. You should
look it up on Instagram or TikTok when you get
a chance. Uh. It's the story of how Will Smith
had wrote the theme for Fresh Prince in West Philadelphia
ball and a raised course. Yeah, and Jazzy Jeff Jeff
was like, yo, you got to give that to Quincy
Jones who was supposed to write the theme for the
(13:19):
show because and apparently Quincy Jones legend he just put
together some cheesy sitcom intro and Jazz actually encouraged Will,
like I know it's Quincy Jones, but you got to
tell them you have something better, and he finally had
the Huevos to be like, yoyo, Quincy, can you listen
to this? And Quincy's like, oh yeah, this is way
better than the trash I put together. So we almost
(13:42):
didn't have that theme.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, and that chiev show would not have hit had
it not been for that opening theme song.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Hey riye, that's the most popular? Is that the most
popular theme of all time?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
People say that's the most popular rap song of all time?
I'm not even I'm not kidding, known worldwide. Everybody knows
it in the the words to it. It's a it's
an argument that people do have.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah that or rappers delight.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, Hey, Rich, weren't you there for the debut of
Dunk the Clown or some famous wrestler, because I remember
you telling me about that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, he's just my uncle. I have I have one
that you're It's such an obvious one, but we're gonna
forget it, so I want to throw it out there now. Debuts,
that's what we're talking about, because it is the anniversary
of Babe Ruth's first game. George Herman Ruth arguably, you
know people say the closest thing, Oh Tani right, there's
never been anything like the Babe, Babe.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So the Babe.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It brings up what were the best debuts. We're talking music,
we're talking sports. In the world of acting in movies.
We forget sometimes that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck came
out of nowhere with Goodwill Hunting. These are two just
Boston Jabbroni's that were like, hey, we made a movie
and got Robin Williams to be in it and the
rest is history. Like we forget sometimes that Matt Damon superstar.
(14:59):
Matt Damon and Ben you know j Lo's like soon
to be ex husband. We're just dudes in Boston that
made a movie, a script that didn't really get much
of a great reception when it was in film festivals.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I think they both got three hundred thousand dollars each
when all was said and done, and they bought jeeps.
Let's be honest, they were pumped about it and no
one had heard of him. That was their debut, Good Hunting.
Matt David did all have you lifting on that movie?
Let's be honest. That wasn't Ben Affleck involved with Kevin
Smith like He was in a few of the Kevin
Smith movies in the early nineties.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
But like not really a huge star.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He was just part of those those ensembles, right, but
this was like their they one Academy Wars for it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, yo, spot a guy that you loved. He passed away,
but he was in the Harry Potter World but also
die Hard. Apparently. I just saw this that Alan Rickman's
first role was Hans Gruber.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Was Hans Gruber.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, whathy scene that was his debut.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Talking about coming out swinging. Huh Like, I'm sure, aw
my detonatus. I imagine he's so. He probably did a
lot of theater because they all do theater. But yeah,
I think as far as movies go, that was his
first role, okay, and his debut to us. Right to
be fair, I'm sure he was an actor and acting
(16:14):
before that. So Rich, we got a lot of phone
calls all school and fifty hits. We like to reminisce
on a Thursday, throw it back and get you involved.
I know, it's a dumb answer cove because there's gonna
be someone like well he was in like a soap
opera or something. But when you think of like McCauley
culkin just home alone right out the gate with I mean,
I'm sure someone's gonna say he wasn't a toy commercial.
(16:35):
But you don't think McAuley culkin out of nowhere just
was in everyone's lives in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's funny you say that. But Jack Black his actual debut,
I'm pretty sure was a Pitfall commercial. And he's talking
about Pitfall Harry or Harry or Larry. I forget Pitfall Harry,
but again on this date nineteen fourteen, the Babe was
a pitcher in his debut. He's nineteen years old, allowed
(17:03):
eight hits, two runs, one strikeout, didn't walk anybody, but
the Red Sox beat Cleveland, so famous debuts. Want to
start with Trip. Trip's been on hold for a minute,
So thank you Trip. Thank you guys for holding Trip.
McNeely in Vegas? What up? Trip?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Gentlemen?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Anybody thank you taking my call?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I got two one? Nineteen eighty seven. I was at
the We were there to see Motley Cruze Girls, Girls Girls,
and never see an opening act. This band comes on stage,
opening band. This guy's dancing around acting crazy. Were like,
who this guy? Turns out it was Guns n' Roses. Wow,
And I'm like, I'm being on the East Coast, We're like,
we didn't know anything about them. Was like who was?
(17:43):
And then the second one would be and I was
was eighty five or eighty seven? But I'm at a
South Carolina. I went to South Calina, but where all
the home games. All of a sudden, the opposing team
is going nuts. When the punt returner comes out, it's
Dehon Sanders and he returned it for a touchdown. That's
when I learned about the unfenders.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
That's awesome. Yeah, when you talk about debuts, Cavino, do
you remember because this guy was on the Blue Jays,
so you probably saw him play your Yankees a few times,
former New York met and Blue Jay. I don't even
know if he's in the big leagues anymore. Do you
remember the name Steven Matt's pitcher. Yeah, of course, he
had all these high hopes like he you know, he
came out swinging, you know, his first game, seven and
(18:25):
two thirds, six strikeouts, the win. And he also this
is when pitchers were hitting in the National League. He
got four RBI in his first game, like he had
a few hits and he just he lit it up
on both sides. Everyone's like, who is this kid?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Those are those magical moments when someone makes their debut
with a home run. Like I love those moments. The
family's their first pitch home run. Those are great moments,
memorable debuts. Let's talk to Tom in Vegas. Tom, you're
on the show Covino and Rich.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Hey, how you guys doing good?
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Man?
Speaker 9 (18:58):
I I got two Actually, what can you turn your
radio down for us?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Please?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Sure, thank you, thanks, bud.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Okay, I appreciate it. He's listening to us very attentively.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
Yeah, this is uh this, Yeah, I am, this is
this is this is born in Vegas here and it's
not a successful one. But Chuck Finley with the A's,
he drafted a kid out of Vegas here. I think
Mike Morgan in the mid eighties took him right out
of high school, put him on the mound, and he
got shelled. I can't remember what year it was, but
(19:29):
I know it was in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah. You know what, it doesn't always have to be
sunshine and rainbows to make it memorable, right, Like, sometimes
a miserable debut could be memorable.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Speaking of Vegas, I mean, Cavino, when you were a
little kid, weren't you there for the first ever lion
tamed by Sigfried and Roy True?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, yeah, I was a little kid. I was excited
you were there, I know. Yeah. Well I got tickets
because they're your uncle's right h Yeah. So, uh, Kevin
and Florida, you're on the show, Cavino and Rich what up? Kevin?
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Hey, thank you love your show.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Thanks?
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
My favorite living guitarist and band Carlos Santana at Woodstock
nineteen sixty nine and wow, other Now that.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Was that one of the first times he was sort
of introduced to the mainstream with Santana's sort of debut
at Woodstock? Is it so? That's awesome?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yes? He'd been putting them one real quick note. I
saw him five times, but I saw him at the
Fox Theater in Atlanta, where I grew up.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
And you can't do this anymore.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
But this was June first, nineteen eighty one. I hid
in the seats of this beautiful theater and I looked
up and this is my plan, and it worked out.
There was nobody there. I ran down, jumped over the
orchestra well through the theater the curtain by the bandstand
where all the instruments still stood by the other curtain,
(20:53):
and I just waited, and I knew it was a
god thing. And here comes Carlos and the local Atlanta
concert promore and I got both of their their signatures
on my ticket step which I still have on a
nineteen seventy two album poster. You know how they used
to come with posters.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, you did that. If you did that today, you
would have got taste. And I would love to see it. Kidding. Yeah,
you can't. You can't be pulling those functionanigans like back
in the day, Commuto.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Oh look, there's so many expectations on a debut, even
as a broadcaster, Rich, like when we made our debut
at Fox Sports Radio. There's always those butterflies, right, because
you want to make it count, you want to make
it memorable, Rich, And I like, who cracked the mic first?
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Me or you?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh that's a good question, right, I don't even know.
There's always that feeling of like, ah, here we are, right,
is that weird expectation and we're talking about it, going
to take your phone calls to wrap it up memorable
debuts because on this day, one hundred and ten years ago,
the Babe changed history. Babe Ruth, we got more Covino
(22:04):
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio next. Now you put
it off long enough, Rich.

hundred and ten years ago. Danny g you remember when
Dwight Gooden made his debut. You were saying, yeah, you're

second grade for me because my teacher was originally from
the East Coast out here teaching in California.

He was a big Mets fan. He kept talking about
Dwight good and you guys got to see this young pitcher.
Dwight Gooden made his debut at nineteen years old in
nineteen eighty three. I remember watching the entire game and
what did he have? Seventeen wins that rookie season?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Rich, he was He took over New York.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
He took over New York. I always just remember as
a little kid, those few times you would go into
you know, crazy New York City on a field trip
or something. There was a mural of Dwight Gooden on
the side of a huge building like that was the
only time eight aye, yeah, Danny g as a Mets fan.
The only time the Mets quote owned New York over
the Yankees was early eighties to like eighty eight ninety,
(25:09):

Speaker 2 (27:34):
We talk about these great debuts in sports entertainment, all
the different categories, I mean, did anyone bring up Elvi? Shit?
I feel like my mom and our parents generation, he
showed up shaking his hips and that also, along with
the Beatles, changed things. That wasn't Elvis shaking his hips
like a big friggin deal it was.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I mean, he changed. I guess he was just pushing
the envelope. I don't know where he made his debut though.
Do you know spot your your mom was a big
Elvis fan. I'll look it up. Let's go to matt
in Missouri really quick. Coveno.
Speaker 4 (28:06):

Speaker 5 (28:18):
August twenty six, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Oh wow, so we got an anniversary coming up? Who
said the first one?
Speaker 5 (28:25):
We do?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
That's the one Coveno said the first word? Yep, I
said the first word. Hey, Matt, Missouri, what's up?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Does it count as a word when Covino just goes, oh,
what up? Matt?
Speaker 11 (28:38):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (28:39):
My My favorite debut lately has been to in the
National Championship game.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
How about that coming in at halftime leading them back?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Dude? Did I mean you ain't kidding? That's you know
he is where he is now that you know? And
you could give that a lot of credit, right.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Thanks, Matt, Mike and Austin.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
So in twenty fourteen, it wasn't his debut, but its
first time I saw him. No one knew about him.
I was up in Dallas at Jerry Dome, and back
then they had this little back and forth rivalry with
Texas Tech and Baylor where they would meet on Thanksgiving
weekend and Patrick mahomes Baylor up. They were nine and
(29:20):
one that year and they lost forty eight to forty six.
But I was in nothing but a Baylor crowd. Man.
It was all like my ex wife's grandpa, some big alum,
and that dude was lighting them up. I was drinking
beer and hollering for Mahomes. I'm a UT fan, but
(29:40):
I said that day, that's the best football player I've
ever seen. I played football in college at UT. I
had never seen anybody do what that dude did.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That's awesome, man, that's an awesome story because look what
he's become since then, and you've seen it from the start.
That's really cool, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It wasn't sustainable, Yeah, but there's got to be someone
that was that Jeremy Lyn's first Linsanity game and they're like,
who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Dude that those two weeks were magical. That's all I
gotta say. I always say insanity was real. Man, if
you didn't live it, it was awesome. Uh, Bob in Oregon,
you're on the Cavino and Rich Show Memorable Debuts.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Hey, thanks for having me, Guys. Shout out to Jeff
for putting in Rocky but Dice k Matsuzaka in twenty ten.
You guys were dreading that one can strike out.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Thank you, Crossfire, Jeff, I thought he was going to say.
I thought he was gonna say, Dice Clay Well, I'm
a bigger fan.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Dude, I swear to God, so did I. Yeah, when
he came out with Hickory Dickory knock on top of
the World, I really thought the same thing. Wrap it up,
Jeff Crossfire Portland famous debuts.
Speaker 10 (30:49):
Hey, guys, how's it going high?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Nineteen ninety two, September twentieth. My dad and I were
watching a little football and the magic Man Don Mkowski
went down and my boy Brett Farv came in.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
That's a really good debut.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, you know, a great one to end on. Appreciate it.
If you want to add to the list or ones
that stood out to you, hit us up at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio and again one hundred
and ten years ago, today the Babe made his debut.
Ready for an update, let's do it, Isaac Loewencron, what
you got for us?
Speaker 12 (31:22):
Well, Speaking of debuts, it's the debut season for Pittsburgh
Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skeens, and today he had a
no hitter, going through seven full innings at Milwaukee with
eleven strikeouts. He'd thrown only ninety nine pitches, but despite that,
he was pulled from the game, replaced by reliever Colin Holderman,
who promptly allowed us single to Jake Bowers to lead
(31:44):
off the bottom of the eighth inning, ending the no
hit bid. Pirates did go on to win the game,
won nothing. Afterwards, Pirates manager Derek Shelton was asked why
he pulled Skeens from the game.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Because I'm an idiot. Happy.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Sorry, guys, Sorry, I actually pressed the wrong button there
my pause. Let me try to hit that again.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
He was tired.
Speaker 13 (32:04):
It really didn't have anything to do with the pitch count.
Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where
he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting
him when I went and talked to him after that,
I mean he was tired. They did a good job
of wearing him down, and I mean he gave us
everything he had.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
Well a footnote. In his final inning the seventh, Schemes
retired the Brewers on only six pitches. We have one
game going on right now, the Philadelphia Phillies with a
one nothing lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the
top of the second inning on a home run by
the Phillies trade Turner against his former team NBA, multiple
outlets report free agent guard Kyle Lowry has agreed to
(32:40):
a one year deal to return to the Philadelphia seventy
six ers, finally in the NFL. At a celebrity golf
event today in Reno, Nevada, New York Jets quarterback Aaron
Rodgers did an interview with an outfit called Vegas Sports Today.
Rodgers was originally asked about Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getzi,
but then Rogers said of DeVante Adams quote, I can't
(33:04):
wait to play with him again.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Listen, do you.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
Think Luke Gatzi's gonna utilize Dvante Adams good in the
new Raiders offense?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I love lou Getzi.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
He's a fantastic coach, awesome, and I love Davante.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I can't wait to play with him.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
Outside of a yeah great, I love to hear it.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
Yeah sure, nobody's gonna break make that all blown out
of proportion. Nobody will blow that out of proportion.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Back to you, guys, Thank you, Isaac. It's Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio Live from the ti Raq
dot Com studios, and just a quick reminder in about
twenty minutes because it's getting late. Over promised our bonus podcast.
Join us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page and you
can join a live chat. We're gonna be talking again NFL,
(33:44):
celebrity fans, and travel sports and more.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well, we had a lot of fun so far today, Amy, Yeah,
if you missed any of it, Danny g will put
up on the podcast. We talked about schemes getting like
so unjustly yankrem a no hitter under one hundred pitches.
We talkalked about McCaffrey and Cam Newton and the rules
of wedding guests. I had one more thought on that,
but I wanted to ask you. We're talking about Babe
Ruth in the anniversary of his Major League baseball debut.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
HM.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I'm certainly not put you on the spot too much here,
but how big do you think he was? Because we
all assume he's like his monsterous type of guy, what
do you think his official stats are? If you look
at babe height and wait for the babe.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Six three like two forty, maybe they're saying Babe was
six two two fifteen.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Come?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Is that like a Donald Trump to fifteen?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Hey, I weigh two hun Japan two fifteen, when he
was seventeen years old. Maybe speaking of Trump, there's a
crazy Biden story that's breaking as we speak. I'm not
trying to spread any gossip, but look it up on
your own time.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Why did he did he accept a golf offer?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
No? No, sorry, it's really embarrassing. Actually excited, but I
don't want to dive into that or you know, ruin
anybody's day. Look it up on your own clothes pants,
swis spot do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You know what here? Rich, you have an Internet. Yeah,
you look it up and you see what happened and
you make the call. But embarrassing, embarrassing, you know what.
Look it up now, and when we return, we'll wrap
up this wedding stuff, this Cam Newton story, and Mike
Evans is involved to in a wedding story. So we
got more. Covino and Rich live from the tire Rack
(35:27):
dot Com Studio. Next on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah, oh, no.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
One, lonely Steve ib All by myself with down nobody.
But then I see Rich Davis out there in New
York and I remember, Oh, it's Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio got Prefet on the ones and two?
Is he like mixed Master Mike Perfet. We got d NYG,
we got Low and Chron we got rich in discipal leaf.
(36:00):
What are you own knowing about?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Because I watched the Biden clip you told me.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
About, Dude, that is like so bad? Right?
Speaker 5 (36:11):
We mix names up sometimes on our show.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Not like that.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I don't want to be presoner of the moment either,
but that just seems really bad.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Sometimes he'll say, Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
True, yeah, I know what happens.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
It does You called the Netflix show Receiver Receiver? Same
same mistake, right.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Same mistake, same impact. Yeah. Which, by the way, let's
get off that. We're Cavino and Rich in ten minutes.
Over promised begins, So set up Fox Sports Radios YouTube
page and join us live. We're going to talk travel,
sports and NFL celebrity fans and more over promises our
bonus podcast. I watched both Hard Knocks episode two and
(36:56):
Receiver on Netflix, and I enjoyed both.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
But I like hard Knocks better.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I'm only one episode in that.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
I got a theory.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Yeah, it's because usually Hard Knocks will look into different
players on the two teams and try to find a
player or two that has a really good standout personality.
Because this coverage for offseason started in January, which is
not normal for Hard Knocks. It's like being a fly
on the wall with the executives in the front office
(37:27):
to see what moves they're making. So it's less about
the players and more about the team and what's how
the team is going to be built.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
They're both great, right, and you agree with that, d
It's so funn it'll get you fired up and hype
for football, rich as I know you're already hyper football,
but some about Hard Knocks, just the way it's done,
I think I enjoy a little more right now. But
I'm only one episode in on Receivers, so enjoy that.
And I don't know if you want to wrap it
(37:56):
up with your final thoughts about the Cam Newton wedding story,
the Christian McCaffrey Cam Newton's story.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
There was a thought I had there and I had
a pizza question for you. But if people don't know
what we're talking about when we were alluding to the
Biden thing, politics aside, vote for whoever the hell you want.
We don't care. It's up to you. But he was
introducing President Zelenski of the Ukraine of Ukraine and he goes,
I'm gonna hand it over to a guy with as
much courage as the determination as anyone. Ladies and gentlemen,
(38:26):
give it up for President Putin.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
And then then he does the recovery where he's like,
what I mean was?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I mean that guy's in my mind? We got to
beat him.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
So away anyway, Yeah, just stinks. I hate it.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
So.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Cam Newton was on his own podcast talking about how
he wasn't invited to Christian McCaffrey's wedding and then that
post so many questions. I know one of those questions
we didn't get too rich was are you are you
allowed to bring or invite somebody if your significant other
hadn't met that person yet. Would you like to explain?
Because Olivia Coppol had an issue right, well, yeah, she.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Didn't let her sister bring some new dude she was
dating to the wedding. And I know we've had friends
have different stances on this, like listen, if I don't
know the person, you can't invite them, Like you could
bring a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but you know, you
just bring in a flavor of the month to my wedding.
If I've never met this girl, dude, like, just come
to the wedding or some people say, well, do you
(39:30):
want me to have company at your wedding? And I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
That's tough.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
That was a side story. And then another wedding related news.
I saw this post that wide receiver Mike Evans was
ready to propose to his wife and he was so
nervous about it that he used to practice proposing to
his teammates on the sidelines during practice. Like that's hound nervous,
(39:57):
like he would practice it all the time. That an
other story. It was double practice for him, double practice.
So rich, how did you do it with a ring pop?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I proposed. Then this is before it was trendy. I
did this like a long time ago. My wife said,
I don't care what ring you get me, Like I know,
I didn't truly believe it, but she said, you can
even get me a ring pop. So I attached the
real ring to a ring pop and I knew she
would ask for the Struwberry ring pop. I'm like, oh,
here you go. I picked up some ring pops at
the store And when was the last time you saw
those and Ta da. So I gotta ask you if
(40:29):
you were to ever pop the ever pop the question,
buddy boy, Yeah, would you tell us first or would
we find out what everyone else today?
Speaker 5 (40:36):
Is your anniversary Covio?
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, no, I would do it the same way I
did it the first time, just on the sly. I
won't tell anybody. Hope you wouldn't mind marrying me too much?
Speaker 8 (40:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
I would say what Rocky about Boa said, hope you
woun't mind marrying too much. I'd be there with mister
Tiger nobody else they're gonna call.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Macho man, will you marry me?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
And since it's getting late, Rich, if you guys want
to share how you proposed, by all means, please do
or maybe we'll talk about it on over promise, but
hit us up at Covino and Rich. We also talked
about major debuts.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Ian told me.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Coincidentally, Ian in the office said that today, thirty years
ago today Rob Parker made his radio debut.
Speaker 5 (41:18):
Wow, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I congratulated him.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
So how cool is that?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Rob Parker?
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Total coincidence by the Rob Parker. One last thing, I'm
a woman. If you're going to propose to someone, please
know that the answer is going to be yes. Like,
I don't think anyone should propose with like not expecting
to receive a yes answer.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Pro spot. I love you for saying that. I don't
thing bothers me more when someone says, what do you
think she's gonna say? That's like the one question you
don't ask unless you know the answer.
Speaker 1 (41:49):

Profet Loncrowned Spotty on the videos at Covino and Rich
and we do this every Thursday. Old School in fifty
hits and today was the debut of George Herman Ruth
and it changed baseball forever. As you guys remember, he
was a pitcher and he debuted today on this day
(02:19):
in nineteen fourteen, which, if you do the math, was
one hundred and ten years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is that crazy man? You know? Could I go out
on a limb and say there are very few people
from nineteen fourteen that their name and legacy still lives on.
Think about it?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Who fourteen? I mean like historical figures.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, yeah, But I'm saying like other than like the
president or something like Teddye Roosevelt, like other than like
people that were running things. Who are we talking about
from one hundred years ago? Babe Ruth is a legend
and today's day he stepped on that baseball diamond for
the first time and made history.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So based on that this historical day, I want to
talk about any debut that stands out to you. Could
be in sports, some name you heard for years made
his debut, it stuck out in your memory, is unforgettable.
Could be on TV, it could be anywhere. It could
be a band, it could be anything. Okay, now I'm

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Nineteen eighty three. Three, nineteen eighty three. I was a
pumpkin pie haircutted little kid, right, pumpkin pie haircutted little kid. Rich.
I look like Ernie Rayes Junior from Sidekicks, and I'm
not even Filipino, but that's how I looked, right, I
look like from Fantasy Island. And I was so busty
(04:02):
playing No, that's Covino. I was so pumped because I
had these toys. I think you've heard of them, called
he Men he man. But here's the thing about he men.
He men were toys that just looked awesome, right, But
we didn't know the backstory of these toys really at all,
other than what we read in the packets and stuff.
(04:23):
We didn't know the backstory. So in September of nineteen
eighty three, I had just started third grade. I had
other friends that had the same haircut as me, and
I remember telling my friends, Yo, when we get home
from school today, he man debuts, and I remember Rich
(04:43):
being on the phone with one of my best buds,
my little grade school buds on the phone, like it's
gonna start you watching, and we were so pumped. And
everybody remembers the first time they heard this. You're like, oh, oh.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Man, listen, you're a little older than me there, buddy boy.
But he Man that if you watched the toys and
the shows that made America, those great History Channel specialis, yeah,
you realize that he Man was not supposed to be
this big hit. They they scrambled to make this a
hit because everyone's loving it.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, well, the backstories were so great. Adam Prince of Eternia.
He was your favorite, Rich.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Your favorite was Finish though, frist though was great.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I had all the.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Toys, Tuttle Secret Power the day I held.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think or Stink or I don't know, but I
had them all and I would have them all set up,
and they were cool toys. But when that cartoon debuted,
it only aired for like two years, but I loved it.
And if you remember the premise, you would well, they
would always teach you a lesson at the end of
the cartoon. But you were supposed to find orco throughout
(05:58):
the each episode, you remember that, here's a fine work covering.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You know what. Not that I think about it was
Shira might have been my first crush, and I love
how Skeletor lives on in meme forma.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's the best. Yeah, till next time, till next time,
that's the best. So yeah, I do remember that as
a little kid on a throwback Thursday when that happened.
I'll throw out another one that has to be just
on the list of memorable because everybody talks about it,
and anybody that's into music, you hear the same story
(06:29):
over and over again. My life changed, and music changed
and everything changed. The day the Beatles made their American
debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, you hear everybody talk
about how what a life changing, impactful event that was.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Oh, I thought you were gonna say when klayke and
debut on American Idol.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, that was that's on my list.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
But I thought you were gonna go. Michael Jackson moonwalk
on the Motown twenty five.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That was an impactful moment for sure. The debut.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah, for a lot of them as little kids, that
was the debut for us. For mind listen.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It wasn't the debut with Michael Jackson, but then he
Chee's right view of the moonwalk and.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Of his milwawk, Yeah, of his mid blok and we
were like, whoa was he floating? What was that?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
And for years we tried to do it and kids
still try to do it today, still try to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But yeah, the Beatles made their debut I believe on
the Ed Sullivan Show in nineteen sixty four. If I'm
not mistaken, but you just hear so many people it's
as if I've heard Ozzy Osbourne again. He was in England.
But Ozzi said that he felt like life was in
black and white and then all of a sudden was
in color once he heard the Beatles, Like everything changed
(07:41):
once he heard the Beatles, and once they were introduced
to America, music change, life changed, pop culture changed. That
was the debut, dude, debut that changed our culture. So
your most memorable debuts, of course you could include sports
because this only comes up on a throw Back Thursday
because of Babe Ruth.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, I have a couple of baseball ones. I'm a
couple of sports ones, and then some movie ones. If
you want me to just zip through these.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, can I say this one? Because I know you're
gonna forget. And we were both there the devee of
brock Purty, your boy, we were.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
There, down, you were there. I wrote it because we
were there.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
And his diary we were.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, it's not in my show notes, it's it's in
my diary spots, right, That's why it's well, can I
take you through that day? Cavino and I met a
couple buddies up in the Bay Area. I'm a big
Niners fan. It was Dolphins Niners, and when you're at
the game, you don't get the coverage you get when
you watch on Fox or CBS. So we're like, Yo,
(08:42):
did Jimmy g get hurt? Is he sick? What's doing?
Is he out of the game for a play? Is
it a series? Is he done? What the hell is
going on? You aren't hearing anything in the stadium. And
I remember thinking rock Party, Who the hell is this guy?
Brock Party? And then when you got the news that
Garoppolo was done, Cavino and I I remember where we were.
We were at a steakhouse and I was sort of
(09:04):
like Poudy Battle Goose. The playoffs are not who cares
and then brock Perty just decided to shock everyone. And
for the last two years now he's uh, you know,
living up to every expectation I've had at least.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I mean, but I'll never forget it because I remember
that day so clearly. We were there, so impactful and
memorable to us, and it's a name we haven't stopped
talking about since. So I think everybody can relate to
some degree.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Now when there's talked about players Cavino, where you know
they're going to be the man or the woe man.
Sometimes they are a little flat. I'll give you two
flat ones. Uh when men Yama, that was like okay,
there was no like wow his debut. Caitlyn Clark her
first game was.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like turnover here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, Lebron if you want to look back, Lebron scored
twenty five in his first game. Here's one that lived
up to the hype. Before there was Paul Skeens, who
would you say, my I have been one of the
most anticipated pitchers in baseball. He won a World Series,
got hurt a little much.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But uh, Saale who you know Strasburg?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
About Strasburgh, Yeah, okay, Strasbourg was the most anticipated picture
of a generation. His first start, seven innings, fourteen strikeouts
in the win.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
See now, yeah, if you were there, you'll never forget that.
You'll never forget that if you were there, if you're
a fan, and that's what we're getting that your phone
calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, and at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. I'll give you another one that
I remember too, just based on the hype. I was
working in rock radio early in my career at k Rock,
(10:43):
New York, and there was talk of a super group.
Not the Proclaimers, Rich, I know, they're one of your
favorite supergroups, but then actual, oh, an actual supergroup. Meaning
was that was that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
When you were going to leave Minudo for Gotsmack.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Super This is a super duper group. And the talk
was damn Yankees. No, the members of Rage Against the
Machine are joining forces with Chris Cornell of a Sound Garden,
And you're like, what for me as a rock fan? Yeah,
So for me as a rock fan, I'm like, this
is incredible. I can't wait to hear this. And I'll
(11:22):
never forget their debut because it was on the marquee
of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. I
believe it was in two thousand and two. They performed
on a mark. I remember seeing the marquee and then
performing and I'm like, wow, this is them for the
first time. And you know, at the time, I wasn't
that thrilled. But from today's perspective, I just wish we
had more of that because I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
What was I called him?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Was that audio slave?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Audio slave? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Say audio?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
What was Temple of the Dog?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What was that Temple of the Dog? Was Eddie Vedder?
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Chris Striker?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, Hunger Strike?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Good, I got one? Can I do a music one? Okay?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Tiev And it's related to hip hop. You know, in
nineteen ninety it still was not normal to see hip
hop stars all over TV and movies. They were still
breaking into that genre and crossing over. So September tenth,
nineteen ninety, NBC debuted the pilot episode for The Fresh
Prince of bel Air and I remember me, yeah, I
(12:19):
remember me and my friends getting ready for it because
we saw the commercials. We had our VHS tapes ready
taped it, watched it over and over it changed TV
as far as the way we know.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's awesome, man, So to getting hip hop, I do
remember this. I don't. You might have to look up
the year, but I remember watching when Leaders, when Bust
the Rhymes and Leaders of the New School made their
debut on the Arsenio Hall Show. Yeah, and you know
that's when Bus the Rhymes became a star. I remember
watching that because I like the tribe called Quest and
they performed scenario.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
So yeah, I remember our Sineo and NBC with a
Fresh Prince of bel Air really changed the game as
far as hip rappers on TV.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, really cool.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And there is a great story Danny g. You should
look it up on Instagram or TikTok when you get
a chance. Uh. It's the story of how Will Smith
had wrote the theme for Fresh Prince in West Philadelphia
ball and a raised course. Yeah, and Jazzy Jeff Jeff
was like, yo, you got to give that to Quincy
Jones who was supposed to write the theme for the
(13:19):
show because and apparently Quincy Jones legend he just put
together some cheesy sitcom intro and Jazz actually encouraged Will,
like I know it's Quincy Jones, but you got to
tell them you have something better, and he finally had
the Huevos to be like, yoyo, Quincy, can you listen
to this? And Quincy's like, oh yeah, this is way
better than the trash I put together. So we almost
(13:42):
didn't have that theme.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, and that chiev show would not have hit had
it not been for that opening theme song.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Hey riye, that's the most popular? Is that the most
popular theme of all time?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
People say that's the most popular rap song of all time?
I'm not even I'm not kidding, known worldwide. Everybody knows
it in the the words to it. It's a it's
an argument that people do have.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah that or rappers delight.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, Hey, Rich, weren't you there for the debut of
Dunk the Clown or some famous wrestler, because I remember
you telling me about that.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, he's just my uncle. I have I have one
that you're It's such an obvious one, but we're gonna
forget it, so I want to throw it out there now. Debuts,
that's what we're talking about, because it is the anniversary
of Babe Ruth's first game. George Herman Ruth arguably, you
know people say the closest thing, Oh Tani right, there's
never been anything like the Babe, Babe.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So the Babe.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It brings up what were the best debuts. We're talking music,
we're talking sports. In the world of acting in movies.
We forget sometimes that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck came
out of nowhere with Goodwill Hunting. These are two just
Boston Jabbroni's that were like, hey, we made a movie
and got Robin Williams to be in it and the
rest is history. Like we forget sometimes that Matt Damon superstar.
(14:59):
Matt Damon and Ben you know j Lo's like soon
to be ex husband. We're just dudes in Boston that
made a movie, a script that didn't really get much
of a great reception when it was in film festivals.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I think they both got three hundred thousand dollars each
when all was said and done, and they bought jeeps.
Let's be honest, they were pumped about it and no
one had heard of him. That was their debut, Good Hunting.
Matt David did all have you lifting on that movie?
Let's be honest. That wasn't Ben Affleck involved with Kevin
Smith like He was in a few of the Kevin
Smith movies in the early nineties.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
But like not really a huge star.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
He was just part of those those ensembles, right, but
this was like their they one Academy Wars for it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, yo, spot a guy that you loved. He passed away,
but he was in the Harry Potter World but also
die Hard. Apparently. I just saw this that Alan Rickman's
first role was Hans Gruber.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Was Hans Gruber.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, whathy scene that was his debut.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Talking about coming out swinging. Huh Like, I'm sure, aw
my detonatus. I imagine he's so. He probably did a
lot of theater because they all do theater. But yeah,
I think as far as movies go, that was his
first role, okay, and his debut to us. Right to
be fair, I'm sure he was an actor and acting
(16:14):
before that. So Rich, we got a lot of phone
calls all school and fifty hits. We like to reminisce
on a Thursday, throw it back and get you involved.
I know, it's a dumb answer cove because there's gonna
be someone like well he was in like a soap
opera or something. But when you think of like McCauley
culkin just home alone right out the gate with I mean,
I'm sure someone's gonna say he wasn't a toy commercial.
(16:35):
But you don't think McAuley culkin out of nowhere just
was in everyone's lives in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's funny you say that. But Jack Black his actual debut,
I'm pretty sure was a Pitfall commercial. And he's talking
about Pitfall Harry or Harry or Larry. I forget Pitfall Harry,
but again on this date nineteen fourteen, the Babe was
a pitcher in his debut. He's nineteen years old, allowed
(17:03):
eight hits, two runs, one strikeout, didn't walk anybody, but
the Red Sox beat Cleveland, so famous debuts. Want to
start with Trip. Trip's been on hold for a minute,
So thank you Trip. Thank you guys for holding Trip.
McNeely in Vegas? What up? Trip?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Gentlemen?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Anybody thank you taking my call?
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I got two one? Nineteen eighty seven. I was at
the We were there to see Motley Cruze Girls, Girls Girls,
and never see an opening act. This band comes on stage,
opening band. This guy's dancing around acting crazy. Were like,
who this guy? Turns out it was Guns n' Roses. Wow,
And I'm like, I'm being on the East Coast, We're like,
we didn't know anything about them. Was like who was?
(17:43):
And then the second one would be and I was
was eighty five or eighty seven? But I'm at a
South Carolina. I went to South Calina, but where all
the home games. All of a sudden, the opposing team
is going nuts. When the punt returner comes out, it's
Dehon Sanders and he returned it for a touchdown. That's
when I learned about the unfenders.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
That's awesome. Yeah, when you talk about debuts, Cavino, do
you remember because this guy was on the Blue Jays,
so you probably saw him play your Yankees a few times,
former New York met and Blue Jay. I don't even
know if he's in the big leagues anymore. Do you
remember the name Steven Matt's pitcher. Yeah, of course, he
had all these high hopes like he you know, he
came out swinging, you know, his first game, seven and
(18:25):
two thirds, six strikeouts, the win. And he also this
is when pitchers were hitting in the National League. He
got four RBI in his first game, like he had
a few hits and he just he lit it up
on both sides. Everyone's like, who is this kid?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Those are those magical moments when someone makes their debut
with a home run. Like I love those moments. The
family's their first pitch home run. Those are great moments,
memorable debuts. Let's talk to Tom in Vegas. Tom, you're
on the show Covino and Rich.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Hey, how you guys doing good?
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Man?
Speaker 9 (18:58):
I I got two Actually, what can you turn your
radio down for us?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Please?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Sure, thank you, thanks, bud.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Okay, I appreciate it. He's listening to us very attentively.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
Yeah, this is uh this, Yeah, I am, this is
this is this is born in Vegas here and it's
not a successful one. But Chuck Finley with the A's,
he drafted a kid out of Vegas here. I think
Mike Morgan in the mid eighties took him right out
of high school, put him on the mound, and he
got shelled. I can't remember what year it was, but
(19:29):
I know it was in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah. You know what, it doesn't always have to be
sunshine and rainbows to make it memorable, right, Like, sometimes
a miserable debut could be memorable.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Speaking of Vegas, I mean, Cavino, when you were a
little kid, weren't you there for the first ever lion
tamed by Sigfried and Roy True?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, yeah, I was a little kid. I was excited
you were there, I know. Yeah. Well I got tickets
because they're your uncle's right h Yeah. So, uh, Kevin
and Florida, you're on the show, Cavino and Rich what up? Kevin?
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Hey, thank you love your show.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Thanks?
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
My favorite living guitarist and band Carlos Santana at Woodstock
nineteen sixty nine and wow, other Now that.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Was that one of the first times he was sort
of introduced to the mainstream with Santana's sort of debut
at Woodstock? Is it so? That's awesome?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yes? He'd been putting them one real quick note. I
saw him five times, but I saw him at the
Fox Theater in Atlanta, where I grew up.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
And you can't do this anymore.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
But this was June first, nineteen eighty one. I hid
in the seats of this beautiful theater and I looked
up and this is my plan, and it worked out.
There was nobody there. I ran down, jumped over the
orchestra well through the theater the curtain by the bandstand
where all the instruments still stood by the other curtain,
(20:53):
and I just waited, and I knew it was a
god thing. And here comes Carlos and the local Atlanta
concert promore and I got both of their their signatures
on my ticket step which I still have on a
nineteen seventy two album poster. You know how they used
to come with posters.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, you did that. If you did that today, you
would have got taste. And I would love to see it. Kidding. Yeah,
you can't. You can't be pulling those functionanigans like back
in the day, Commuto.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Oh look, there's so many expectations on a debut, even
as a broadcaster, Rich, like when we made our debut
at Fox Sports Radio. There's always those butterflies, right, because
you want to make it count, you want to make
it memorable, Rich, And I like, who cracked the mic first?
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Me or you?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh that's a good question, right, I don't even know.
There's always that feeling of like, ah, here we are, right,
is that weird expectation and we're talking about it, going
to take your phone calls to wrap it up memorable
debuts because on this day, one hundred and ten years ago,
the Babe changed history. Babe Ruth, we got more Covino

I want to get to everybody. We're talking famous debuts
because on this day, Babe Ruth made his debut one
hundred and ten years ago. Danny g you remember when
Dwight Gooden made his debut. You were saying, yeah, you're
around the same age as me. I think it was
second grade for me because my teacher was originally from
the East Coast out here teaching in California.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
He was a big Mets fan. He kept talking about
Dwight good and you guys got to see this young pitcher.
Dwight Gooden made his debut at nineteen years old in
nineteen eighty three. I remember watching the entire game and
what did he have? Seventeen wins that rookie season?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Rich, he was He took over New York.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
He took over New York. I always just remember as
a little kid, those few times you would go into
you know, crazy New York City on a field trip
or something. There was a mural of Dwight Gooden on
the side of a huge building like that was the
only time eight aye, yeah, Danny g as a Mets fan.
The only time the Mets quote owned New York over
the Yankees was early eighties to like eighty eight ninety,
(25:09):
like the eighties of the Mets. Besides that, it's been
a Yankees town for.

the ground, had to look the fats up. Man, I

I mean. Luke commanded y'all have a great one.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Dude that carry the wood one. I totally remember that too,
because he came out lights out.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I mean, I want to answer this list. How about
every time I was with a woman for the first time.
Speaker 1 (26:50):

Speaker 9 (27:08):
June two, nineteen eighty seven, King, Griffy Junior and his
dad played in a game together.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That's awesome. Yeah, I don't remember. I can't say that
I remember, but we all remember the hype right of
the father's son in the bigs and now we're going
to see it again with Lebron and Brownie. But yeah,
memorable career. I remember when they both hit home runs
the same game for sure. Thank you so much. Man. Yeah,
you know when.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
We talk about these great debuts in sports entertainment, all
the different categories, I mean, did anyone bring up Elvi? Shit?
I feel like my mom and our parents generation, he
showed up shaking his hips and that also, along with
the Beatles, changed things. That wasn't Elvis shaking his hips
like a big friggin deal it was.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I mean, he changed. I guess he was just pushing
the envelope. I don't know where he made his debut though.
Do you know spot your your mom was a big
Elvis fan. I'll look it up. Let's go to matt
in Missouri really quick. Coveno.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Yeah, elvis debut was not as big as this one
in front of me. I have the date. CNR debuted
in Afternoons Slash evening this show here from five to
seven pm on the East Coast time slot.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
August twenty six, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Oh wow, so we got an anniversary coming up? Who
said the first one?
Speaker 5 (28:25):
We do?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
That's the one Coveno said the first word? Yep, I
said the first word. Hey, Matt, Missouri, what's up?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Does it count as a word when Covino just goes, oh,
what up? Matt?
Speaker 11 (28:38):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (28:39):
My My favorite debut lately has been to in the
National Championship game.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
How about that coming in at halftime leading them back?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Dude? Did I mean you ain't kidding? That's you know
he is where he is now that you know? And
you could give that a lot of credit, right.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Thanks, Matt, Mike and Austin.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
So in twenty fourteen, it wasn't his debut, but its
first time I saw him. No one knew about him.
I was up in Dallas at Jerry Dome, and back
then they had this little back and forth rivalry with
Texas Tech and Baylor where they would meet on Thanksgiving
weekend and Patrick mahomes Baylor up. They were nine and
(29:20):
one that year and they lost forty eight to forty six.
But I was in nothing but a Baylor crowd. Man.
It was all like my ex wife's grandpa, some big alum,
and that dude was lighting them up. I was drinking
beer and hollering for Mahomes. I'm a UT fan, but
(29:40):
I said that day, that's the best football player I've
ever seen. I played football in college at UT. I
had never seen anybody do what that dude did.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That's awesome, man, that's an awesome story because look what
he's become since then, and you've seen it from the start.
That's really cool, Kevin.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It wasn't sustainable, Yeah, but there's got to be someone
that was that Jeremy Lyn's first Linsanity game and they're like,
who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Dude that those two weeks were magical. That's all I
gotta say. I always say insanity was real. Man, if
you didn't live it, it was awesome. Uh, Bob in Oregon,
you're on the Cavino and Rich Show Memorable Debuts.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Hey, thanks for having me, Guys. Shout out to Jeff
for putting in Rocky but Dice k Matsuzaka in twenty ten.
You guys were dreading that one can strike out.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Thank you, Crossfire, Jeff, I thought he was going to say.
I thought he was gonna say, Dice Clay Well, I'm
a bigger fan.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Dude, I swear to God, so did I. Yeah, when
he came out with Hickory Dickory knock on top of
the World, I really thought the same thing. Wrap it up,
Jeff Crossfire Portland famous debuts.
Speaker 10 (30:49):
Hey, guys, how's it going high?
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Nineteen ninety two, September twentieth. My dad and I were
watching a little football and the magic Man Don Mkowski
went down and my boy Brett Farv came in.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
That's a really good debut.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, you know, a great one to end on. Appreciate it.
If you want to add to the list or ones
that stood out to you, hit us up at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio and again one hundred
and ten years ago, today the Babe made his debut.
Ready for an update, let's do it, Isaac Loewencron, what
you got for us?
Speaker 12 (31:22):
Well, Speaking of debuts, it's the debut season for Pittsburgh
Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skeens, and today he had a
no hitter, going through seven full innings at Milwaukee with
eleven strikeouts. He'd thrown only ninety nine pitches, but despite that,
he was pulled from the game, replaced by reliever Colin Holderman,
who promptly allowed us single to Jake Bowers to lead
(31:44):
off the bottom of the eighth inning, ending the no
hit bid. Pirates did go on to win the game,
won nothing. Afterwards, Pirates manager Derek Shelton was asked why
he pulled Skeens from the game.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Because I'm an idiot. Happy.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Sorry, guys, Sorry, I actually pressed the wrong button there
my pause. Let me try to hit that again.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
He was tired.
Speaker 13 (32:04):
It really didn't have anything to do with the pitch count.
Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where
he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting
him when I went and talked to him after that,
I mean he was tired. They did a good job
of wearing him down, and I mean he gave us
everything he had.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
Well a footnote. In his final inning the seventh, Schemes
retired the Brewers on only six pitches. We have one
game going on right now, the Philadelphia Phillies with a
one nothing lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the
top of the second inning on a home run by
the Phillies trade Turner against his former team NBA, multiple
outlets report free agent guard Kyle Lowry has agreed to
(32:40):
a one year deal to return to the Philadelphia seventy
six ers, finally in the NFL. At a celebrity golf
event today in Reno, Nevada, New York Jets quarterback Aaron
Rodgers did an interview with an outfit called Vegas Sports Today.
Rodgers was originally asked about Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getzi,
but then Rogers said of DeVante Adams quote, I can't
(33:04):
wait to play with him again.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Listen, do you.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
Think Luke Gatzi's gonna utilize Dvante Adams good in the
new Raiders offense?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I love lou Getzi.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
He's a fantastic coach, awesome, and I love Davante.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I can't wait to play with him.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
Outside of a yeah great, I love to hear it.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
Yeah sure, nobody's gonna break make that all blown out
of proportion. Nobody will blow that out of proportion.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Back to you, guys, Thank you, Isaac. It's Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio Live from the ti Raq
dot Com studios, and just a quick reminder in about
twenty minutes because it's getting late. Over promised our bonus podcast.
Join us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page and you
can join a live chat. We're gonna be talking again NFL,
(33:44):
celebrity fans, and travel sports and more.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well, we had a lot of fun so far today, Amy, Yeah,
if you missed any of it, Danny g will put
up on the podcast. We talked about schemes getting like
so unjustly yankrem a no hitter under one hundred pitches.
We talkalked about McCaffrey and Cam Newton and the rules
of wedding guests. I had one more thought on that,
but I wanted to ask you. We're talking about Babe
Ruth in the anniversary of his Major League baseball debut.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
HM.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I'm certainly not put you on the spot too much here,
but how big do you think he was? Because we
all assume he's like his monsterous type of guy, what
do you think his official stats are? If you look
at babe height and wait for the babe.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Six three like two forty, maybe they're saying Babe was
six two two fifteen.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Come?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Is that like a Donald Trump to fifteen?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Hey, I weigh two hun Japan two fifteen, when he
was seventeen years old. Maybe speaking of Trump, there's a
crazy Biden story that's breaking as we speak. I'm not
trying to spread any gossip, but look it up on
your own time.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Why did he did he accept a golf offer?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
No? No, sorry, it's really embarrassing. Actually excited, but I
don't want to dive into that or you know, ruin
anybody's day. Look it up on your own clothes pants,
swis spot do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You know what here? Rich, you have an Internet. Yeah,
you look it up and you see what happened and
you make the call. But embarrassing, embarrassing, you know what.
Look it up now, and when we return, we'll wrap
up this wedding stuff, this Cam Newton story, and Mike
Evans is involved to in a wedding story. So we
got more. Covino and Rich live from the tire Rack
(35:27):
dot Com Studio. Next on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah, oh, no.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
One, lonely Steve ib All by myself with down nobody.
But then I see Rich Davis out there in New
York and I remember, Oh, it's Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio got Prefet on the ones and two?
Is he like mixed Master Mike Perfet. We got d NYG,
we got Low and Chron we got rich in discipal leaf.
(36:00):
What are you own knowing about?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Because I watched the Biden clip you told me.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
About, Dude, that is like so bad? Right?
Speaker 5 (36:11):
We mix names up sometimes on our show.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Not like that.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I don't want to be presoner of the moment either,
but that just seems really bad.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
Sometimes he'll say, Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
True, yeah, I know what happens.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
It does You called the Netflix show Receiver Receiver? Same
same mistake, right.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Same mistake, same impact. Yeah. Which, by the way, let's
get off that. We're Cavino and Rich in ten minutes.
Over promised begins, So set up Fox Sports Radios YouTube
page and join us live. We're going to talk travel,
sports and NFL celebrity fans and more over promises our
bonus podcast. I watched both Hard Knocks episode two and
(36:56):
Receiver on Netflix, and I enjoyed both.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
But I like hard Knocks better.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I'm only one episode in that.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
I got a theory.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Yeah, it's because usually Hard Knocks will look into different
players on the two teams and try to find a
player or two that has a really good standout personality.
Because this coverage for offseason started in January, which is
not normal for Hard Knocks. It's like being a fly
on the wall with the executives in the front office
(37:27):
to see what moves they're making. So it's less about
the players and more about the team and what's how
the team is going to be built.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
They're both great, right, and you agree with that, d
It's so funn it'll get you fired up and hype
for football, rich as I know you're already hyper football,
but some about Hard Knocks, just the way it's done,
I think I enjoy a little more right now. But
I'm only one episode in on Receivers, so enjoy that.
And I don't know if you want to wrap it
(37:56):
up with your final thoughts about the Cam Newton wedding story,
the Christian McCaffrey Cam Newton's story.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
There was a thought I had there and I had
a pizza question for you. But if people don't know
what we're talking about when we were alluding to the
Biden thing, politics aside, vote for whoever the hell you want.
We don't care. It's up to you. But he was
introducing President Zelenski of the Ukraine of Ukraine and he goes,
I'm gonna hand it over to a guy with as
much courage as the determination as anyone. Ladies and gentlemen,
(38:26):
give it up for President Putin.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
And then then he does the recovery where he's like,
what I mean was?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I mean that guy's in my mind? We got to
beat him.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
So away anyway, Yeah, just stinks. I hate it.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
So.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Cam Newton was on his own podcast talking about how
he wasn't invited to Christian McCaffrey's wedding and then that
post so many questions. I know one of those questions
we didn't get too rich was are you are you
allowed to bring or invite somebody if your significant other
hadn't met that person yet. Would you like to explain?
Because Olivia Coppol had an issue right, well, yeah, she.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Didn't let her sister bring some new dude she was
dating to the wedding. And I know we've had friends
have different stances on this, like listen, if I don't
know the person, you can't invite them, Like you could
bring a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but you know, you
just bring in a flavor of the month to my wedding.
If I've never met this girl, dude, like, just come
to the wedding or some people say, well, do you
(39:30):
want me to have company at your wedding? And I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
That's tough.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
That was a side story. And then another wedding related news.
I saw this post that wide receiver Mike Evans was
ready to propose to his wife and he was so
nervous about it that he used to practice proposing to
his teammates on the sidelines during practice. Like that's hound nervous,
(39:57):
like he would practice it all the time. That an
other story. It was double practice for him, double practice.
So rich, how did you do it with a ring pop?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I proposed. Then this is before it was trendy. I
did this like a long time ago. My wife said,
I don't care what ring you get me, Like I know,
I didn't truly believe it, but she said, you can
even get me a ring pop. So I attached the
real ring to a ring pop and I knew she
would ask for the Struwberry ring pop. I'm like, oh,
here you go. I picked up some ring pops at
the store And when was the last time you saw
those and Ta da. So I gotta ask you if
(40:29):
you were to ever pop the ever pop the question,
buddy boy, Yeah, would you tell us first or would
we find out what everyone else today?
Speaker 5 (40:36):
Is your anniversary Covio?
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, no, I would do it the same way I
did it the first time, just on the sly. I
won't tell anybody. Hope you wouldn't mind marrying me too much?
Speaker 8 (40:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
I would say what Rocky about Boa said, hope you
woun't mind marrying too much. I'd be there with mister
Tiger nobody else they're gonna call.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Macho man, will you marry me?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
And since it's getting late, Rich, if you guys want
to share how you proposed, by all means, please do
or maybe we'll talk about it on over promise, but
hit us up at Covino and Rich. We also talked
about major debuts.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Ian told me.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Coincidentally, Ian in the office said that today, thirty years
ago today Rob Parker made his radio debut.
Speaker 5 (41:18):
Wow, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I congratulated him.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
So how cool is that?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Rob Parker?
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Total coincidence by the Rob Parker. One last thing, I'm
a woman. If you're going to propose to someone, please
know that the answer is going to be yes. Like,
I don't think anyone should propose with like not expecting
to receive a yes answer.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Pro spot. I love you for saying that. I don't
thing bothers me more when someone says, what do you
think she's gonna say? That's like the one question you
don't ask unless you know the answer.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I know, right. So Hey, guys's been a fun week.
