(02:59):
with just.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
The ward until I just don't like his shoes.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
There's so much random stuff to get to today, but
I thought you lost the bet. I was like, why
are you wearing nose wearing? Fascinating? I didn't know that
until yesterday. What's with that sweater? Oh wait, no, you
like that. No, that's rude, that's just Rich being rude. Sorry,
Now I want you to think about a few things.
All right, there's lots to get to. But I saw
a meme Rich, and that's where I get most of

(03:28):
my research prep and jokes and my news for memes
and TikTok videos.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
But it's so true.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It says, Look, I don't know how we got here,
but in the year twenty twenty four, the two most
wholesome people on TV are Snoop Dog in flavor f Life. Now, eh, boy,
if you've been watching the Olympics, you've seen a lot
of these two characters. And we referenced it this week. Boy, Now,
if we told you that in ninety two, would you

(03:57):
have believed it? Yeah, let's rewind to when we were
a little boy and you were watching the ninety two
Olympics on your mom and dad's terribly patterned eighties couch.
They still hadn't got rid of. Oh yeah, we all
had the same weak ass couch. Shell Flave signed what
a five year sponsorship deal to elevate the visibility of
the was a US water polo team, women's water polo

(04:20):
team and he's there in the water with his shower
cap on, playing water polo. You're seeing him all over
the Olympics. You're seeing Snoop Dog with the torch wholesome.
It doesn't have a swim cap on or a shower
cap those are different things. I think he's were a shower.
I don't know it's a Viking helmet. I don't know
what he's wearing. But you're seeing these two guys, and

(04:41):
these are guys we grew up with that epitomized nineties
rap like they were hard to us growing up. Murder
was the case that they gave him. You could tow
ice Cube. Cube has no affiliation to the Olympics that
I know, but you could throw him in the conversation
because he makes all these family endly movies. Now throw

(05:01):
Cuban there to create the trifecta of Snoop, Flave and
ice Cube. Tell nineties me that they're the most wholesome people.
Ice Cube in a rowboat in a family movie, or
not in a car on a road trip. Ice Cube
with a life preserver on in a raft in a
family movie. We've seen the meme, so we don't know

(05:23):
how he got here or how it happened. But you
could say that these guys have pulled a one eighty,
you just say, hey, they got older and that's it.
Like we've seen the wholesome, softer side of these guys.
They know no longer had to put that front up,
or hey, when you're that successful, what are you mad about?
You're not angry anymore making angry hip hop records? Who

(05:45):
else comes to mind as far as pulling the one eighty, Like,
that's a pretty good and significant one eighty. Are there
athletes that maybe pulled a one eighty and maybe you
had to change your heart? Like, yeah, I used to
hate that guy, and man, he really turned it around.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
How about the rapper that Rich mistakenly called ice Cube
Bye iced Tea another one? Even though he was an
undercover cop in the movie Knew Jack City. I never
thought I'd see the day where he was on a
weekly CSI TV show.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
He's always pulling a daughter and you know, he's like
super dad now and not saying they were ever bad guys,
but their image was not what it is now, right,
So who comes to mind the world of sports? Just
in life in general eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox I will say that a guy that stops by
our show every Tuesday, Mike Tyson has to be one

(06:34):
of those guys. He went from ferocious eat your children.
You know, there's no one like him telling people to
f off on live TV, to one of these crazy
deep thinkers who is so in touch and in tune
with himself, like Mike Tyson. I don't know if you
live under a rock, but he's a really introspective sort

(06:55):
of guy, real sensitive guy, and he really opened up
in a way that you would have never thought he
would have been then. Like this dude was ferocious, iron
Mike Tyson invincible. Now you see how vulnerable he is
when you look at it from that perspective. That's a
complete one eighty. He'll still knock your face off, but
he's a very vulnerable guy where he wasn't in the eighties.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I was listening to an old fifty cent song the
other day, Wangsta, and he says, I ain't no actor.
Uh you're not well. He wasn't then when he recorded
that song. So he's another guy who went mainstream.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
All right, So other guys who just pulled a one
eighty men or women and let us know what you think,
who comes to mind. How about a guy we worked
with at Serious XM, Howard Stern. Dude, Howard Stern. Howard
Stern's did devil could argue he went the wrong direction?
What did pig virus? Say Paul Giamati at the end

(07:53):
of Private Parts, he's the anti Christ? Just keeping a
pig vomit. Yeah, they called the pig virus pig vomit
in the movie he did, yeah, both in real life
it was pig virus in the movie pig bomb vomit.
Oh really yeah? And you think about how he was perceived, right,
Like you didn't want your kids to listen to him.
He was. He was the anti Christ. How it sturns

(08:15):
the anti Christ? Whatever Paul Giamatti says at the end
the Private Parts, that's how people perceived him. And you
listen to him. Now, I'm not saying he's not edgy anymore,
but he's totally a list. Reinvented himself to the point
where he's no longer throwing bologney at stripper's butt cheeks.
He's interviewing Gwyneth Paltrow. Yeah, you know what I mean.
He's judging on America's got talent, right, and complete one

(08:39):
eighty great answers. Super You know, he's always been a
liberal guy, but he's remember COVID sort of changed into
a hermit. During COVID, he was the guy that was
like mas scoup and good vexed and like that turned
a lot of people off. So yeah, I mean, Howard Stern,
that's a really good one. But the good are bad. Hey, dude,
can you way this about political figures? To not get political?
But how many people have you seen talk smack about

(09:01):
somebody now they endorsed them, you know what I mean?
Like that happens all the time, Ted Cruz. But what
about Donald Trump? And I say Donald Trump because Donald Trump,
the left hates him. He's the Antichrist to a lot
of people. Meanwhile, rappers sang about him, rapped about him.
He was until he became a political figure. All the
people that now dislike Donald Trump used to love Donald Trump.

(09:24):
It just finds to be an entertaining figure. I would
say they pulled the one eight on him, wouldn't you say?
Like he's always been the same to the other side
as well. So I think it's a mutual. But Donald
Trump's a great answer to think about it. It's also
a testament to these people's longevity. You know, they've been
around long enough where you could see the full evolution
of where they were and where they are now. That's

(09:46):
really what it comes down to. I think like they've
been around long enough where we could actually have this
perspective and conversation. I think in the hip hop world
there's gonna be a lot of examples because by definition
hip hop and the game is people were coming up
from not much right, and then when you become rich
and famous, like jay Z is now like a business man.

(10:08):
The jay Z is partner with the NFL. He's a mogul.
Jay Z early on, as you always say, uh Hawaiian Sophie, Dude,
you know this terrible song called Hawaiian Sophie. I just
liked it because it was a fun video and I
would order it on the video Jukeboaz with Jazz and

(10:28):
I remember buying it and on the back jay Z
was his sidekick, jay Z we big Jass. Jay Z
was the sidekick to this rapper named Jazz. And to
see the evolution of this dude who went from hypeman
sidekick rapper on Jazz's record to superstar mogul. Yeah, that
is that's a complete turnaround. He went from a nobody

(10:52):
to a really significant somebody. I don't want to pile on,
but when we were younger, now I know it's one
of Danny G's favorite sitcoms. Went on to become a
movie star who didn't love Will Smith. Now there's a
lot of people that are like, you know, that guy

(11:12):
is a bee villain, that guy slapping you know, his
wife tect him the same way his wife emasculates him.
Like Will Smith's reputation has certainly taken a big turn
in my opinion.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Well, if you want to talk about guys going in
that direction, past couple of days, I've been on you
guys to watch the Pete Rose docu series because he
was so beloved in our country and then his life
took a turn.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Obviously, that's true. That's a good one Pete Rose, because
you know, we were really young. But you know, if
you're a younger person now, you only think of Pete
Rose as man. He was a gambler, cheater instead of
like a joke in a way like there he is
exciting autographs with Caesar's Palace. He was one of the
greatest baseball players of all time. You don't know that

(11:58):
version if you're younger. Now, how did we get here?
That's actually the question. It's a meme that we saw.
It says, Look, I don't know how we got here.
But in the year twenty twenty four, the two most
wholesome people on TV are Snoop Dog and Flavor Flave,
and they've both been very present in Paris at the
Olympics doing their thing. And you would have never thought

(12:20):
that if you took yourself back into the nineties. So
who else comes to mind? I think rich Honestly, one
of the best answers was Howard Stern. I think that's
a really great answer. Doesn't have to be in sports.
It could be in pop culture, being anything. It doesn't
need to be totally shifted who they are. What about
just an evolved different version of them? How about the

(12:40):
guy that you do a show on his channel every Saturday,
Cavino's on Ozzie's Bonyard on Sirius XM. Ozzy Osbourne went
from you know, hardcore rock guy. Then he became like funny,
older reality guy like Sharon and now he's like a
likable old guy biting heads off of bats right, godfather
of metal to be in like a lovableness into this

(13:04):
lovable dude that everybody likes. And that all started with
the reality show with the Osbourne's when you saw an
inside look on what his life was really like as
a dad. And that's a that's a really good one.
He reinvented himself. We're not saying these are bad things,
by the way. It just depends how you look at it.
A lot of these times it's just the evolution of
that person. They turned it around for good, maybe for bad,

(13:27):
It doesn't matter, what do you think. Let us know
At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, I really
enjoy Woopy Goldberg the actress, but I'm on the view
Whoopy Goldberg, no thanks.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I thought you had an issue with Joy Bahart.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I thought she's just the worst human. I thought she was,
but I never liked her though. You know, Rich has
this really weird crazy hatred for Joy Bayharri people.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
No joy for Bayhart, no joy at all, like Rich.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
You know, happy go lucky, generally nice fella here. Rich
Davis has like a hate for Joy. Fun fact we
share a birthday as well. That's fun.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Rich, like they teach us teach us in first grade.
Hate is a strong word any but he uses that
word with her.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Just with her, though I don't know why. She just
rubs me a weird way. Everything comes out of her mouth,
seems uninformed and terrible. I don't know what she did
to you, bro, What did she do? Tell us? But
then again, there's a thin line between love and hate.
What if I met her and I was like, I
love her?

Speaker 3 (14:25):
I think Rich just has a problem with people who
continue to share their opinions like NonStop. The more you
get to know about somebody, you might not like what
you're hearing, Like her opinions just hear more and more
about him, and so you're like, oh, I don't like that.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Who do you got Sam? You said you had one?
I have two? Uh so uh?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Marky Mark? I know his music career Mark Wahlberg wasn't
very long, but he was sort of like the fitness guy,
badass rapper dude. And then he's turned really bad, but
it was a bad ass tried to portray it.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's how he had some issues to where he got
arrested some times for and some yeah question some racist
language early on, yep, and you know he became this
wholesome Hollywood sort of guy.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, really showing a lot of his talents on the
acting side. And then also the Rock. I mean, I
know the guys who have gone from pro wrestling into
acting like he's his image is definitely softened. He's got
a broader range of things he can do. He was
sort of a little bit of a villain in the ring,
but like also kind of a cool, badass dude.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
So I don't know the Rock is one of them.
I got a guy like Robert Downey Jr. Just announced
as Doctor Doom. No was it was then a Robert
Downey junior. Wasn't he troubled? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
He had a lot of a long time diction issues
early in his life and career.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, even just a couple of months ago, you guys
talked about when does he finally shake that? Remember, because
somebody joked about his past on one of the award shows.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Dude Bill Cosby was like the most love guy in America.
There you go from the opposite. I you know, up
until a couple of years ago, if you asked us
who's like your favorite actor? I would have probably been like,
you know, who's up there? Kevin Spacey, we all have
to I like him againting because he was inn sit
in court.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
So who else comes to mind? No, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'll get I'll give you two that popped into my mind.
One of each. Great, then maybe not so great. We've
talked about it before justin Timberlake. Oh yeah, as of
late Yeah, great, then not so great, toxic, and then
great again. Rob Low. That's a good example. And so
loves Rob Loo. Yes for a while they did not correct. Yes,

(16:30):
that's a really great one. I like that DP that
he's Rob high. Yeah, he's definitely high on everybody's scale.
And he looks fantastic and he's one hundred and sixty
five years old. So Rob Low comes to mind. People
that again just completely turned it around for the good
or for the bad. It's just they had a complete
image change right before your very eyes. And it'll be.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
It could be in the world of sports, it could
be in life.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
It's a great thought based on that meme because we
were talking about how Yo Snoop Dogg. Just everyone forgets
that at one point in his life he was a
troubled young kid. You know. It's even funnier about it, though,
Rich It's like a you can go next level thought
with this, Right, if you're a weenio growing up in
today's world, you're or jen Alpha, You're growing up thinking,
look at these two nice old guys, aren't they great?

(17:17):
Not knowing the previous version of them? Right? But then
the next level thought is, well, who was that for us?
Like you know, we grow up like that's us thinking,
like not ever knowing, like you mean to tell me
Morgan Freeman was like a badass at one point. I
didn't know that, you know what I mean? Like who
was that person? Where we never really knew that side
of that guy? We only knew them as the old

(17:38):
happy No. I'll give you a great example, great example.
I had to take a film class in college, right,
and I'm not one for old movies. I could I
could beat most people in movie trivia if you start
in nineteen seventy five. Let's start with Rocky and the
Godfather and Jaws and Jaws pre that, I may have
seen five movies Wizard of Oz included. I had to

(17:59):
watch street car named Desire in a film class, Okay,
and I remember thinking myself, hold up that smartling Branda.
He was like a handsome cool guy. Yeah, yeah, I
mean he changed a lot for sure. Yeah, he could
have been, could have been.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Think about child actors who had trouble at the start
of their lives because of the fame most of them did. Yeah,
but Drew Barrymore somebody like her suns back in a
major way.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, for sure. That's a good one because she was
trouble for how remember she stood on Letterman's desk and
flashed him and.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
She was she was little, said she was taking drugs
and drinking as a kid, little girl.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Little was it that book she wrote, It was a
whole book about it, her whole troubled childhood that she has.
And now she's, you know, on a talk show crying
with her guests and everybody loves grabbing them close, grabbing
them a weird way, very affectionate and loving and totally different. Again,
it's about the look everybody evolves, it's not that everybody changes.
Not that we're talking about complete flip the script Snoop

(18:59):
Dogg was smoking chronic on MTV with Doctor Dre He's
still doing that though, Yeah, but and murder was the case.
But now he's also lovable with Martha Stewart and wholesome
and everybody loves what he does. He's a likable guy.
Not saying he wasn't likable then, he was just different different. Ye,
he went from one to eighty seven to more like

(19:19):
Afro puff Man, you.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
And the same thing with with Flavor Flav. Although always
kind of likable, you know, he was, he was in
a rap group. I watchually he was as lovable as
he is now. I think it changed when he did
the Flavor of Love. That's when I started for seeing
a different side of Flavor Flave. Do you remember hanging
with Flavor Flav, View and Danny g and Spot in

(19:42):
the VIP at a Luke Combs concert. Yeah, he was
d of silver Suit. I said he came from the
I thought he came from the future.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
And I told him, I said, you got to come
by our stage tomorrow, and he did. He showed up,
put the headset on, got on the show and.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
As a little kid too. You know, it was a
little off for you know, you got to take that
in the consideration here. But I thought Public Enemy was
like they were hard bro. So even though Flavor Flav
was like yeah, even though he was the hype man
and the and like the color, the colorful character of
the group. They were still hard to me. So to
see this, this happy, go lucky side of flavor flav

(20:19):
with the Olympic team, it's just it is very different.
I think you could sum it up with if your
parents questioned you listening to their music and now they're
the ambassadors of our country at the Olympics. That's a
big switch. There you go, that's a big switch. I
got one that I watched a docu series. I love
the David Letterman, my next guest on Netflix, really good interviews.

(20:41):
The Barkley one was fantastic of your big NBA fan.
Letterman sat down with Charles Barkley and who could very
well be your next Super Bowl halftime act. He sat
down with Miley Cyrus. And let me tell you, Miley
went from dude Hannah Montana teen star to like wild
crazy trying to push the envelope, and now she's like

(21:02):
just a great thirty something year old musician that has
her act together. You know, I hate back and rich
up and he's absolutely right about that one. She is
not the Miley Cyrus that you remember just five years
ago on a wrecking ball, bending over in front of
Robin la. Oh, yes, you're absolutely right. She changed it
around big time. So who else comes to mind? The

(21:24):
calls are coming up next, and again you could think
about athletes too. Maybe they just totally turned into players
you hated for whatever reason. Got another musician go ahead.
She did a Super Bowl halftime show. Let's see if
I could give it away by giving you the hint
she jumped off the roof of the stadium. Lady Ganga,
Lady Gods like she used to wear meat dresses and

(21:45):
like eggs on her head and doing all this stuff.
Now she's just like a musician that sings beautifully and
like your parents love Lady Goga and an actress. Yeah,
she won an Academy Award, Like we're talking about someone
that was you know, it's a shocking yeah, like her
her love and affection for Tony Bennett and all the
stuff she did with him, And I think that really
changed her image and and other people's image of her.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
An athlete you guys had a chance to bond with
before he kind of went mental. Uh ct espn uh
Antonio Brown.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Most likable young dude in the league. He was, He
was so likable Honestly, I think that might be the
number one answer in the world of sports. You saw
this dude with an election number one after number two,
number two, you know, takeaway murder. Antonio Brown came into
the league, and we were there for the whole thing.

(22:40):
I mean we all watched on TV, but Rich and
I you know, interviewed him, met him. The dude had
everything ahead of him. Smile from ear to ear electric.
This is you see how like jess chishom is playing
with the Yankees. That's not this guy was like entering
the league super electric, super positive and super pumped to
be a And then you see what happened to the

(23:01):
guy like that is not the dude that that came
into the league those years ago. Total one eightiesanks is perfect. Yeah,
that's a great answer to hitching the head and yeah,
everything went sideways. So Sports Entertainment, let us know your
phone calls. Next, we got more Cavino and Rich on

this is sort of an interesting conversation. And before we
get into midweek major, before we get into rooting for
your replacements, Oh, and the NFL officially kicks off tomorrow.

(25:53):
I do want to talk about you know, tomorrow, we're
gonna go over who's out? Because every year, every year
they average seven teams that change in the postseason. So
tonight we'll do a little extra homework. That's your assignment tonight,
Everyone listening. What teams are out?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
What if my dog ate it? What new teams dog
gate my homework?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Man? Sorry, are in? Who's out? Who's in?

Speaker 8 (26:19):
So out?

Speaker 1 (26:19):
We'll do that tomorrow. Life changes tomorrow, and it starts here.
On the show, Covino and Rich, we saw a meme.
The meme says, look, I don't know how we got
here in twenty twenty four, but the two most wholesome
people on TV are.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flame.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
They're all over the Olympics, and you got to remember
where they were in ninety two and the ninety two
Olympics they were as hard as to raise and now
they're like the most wholesome. But again, that's the evolution
of a character of life, of us as people. It's
tribute to their longevity. Sometimes life imitates art, sometimes are
imitates life. So before we go to the phones, Rich

(26:55):
spot who's working on Midweek major and putting our videos
up at Covino. Rich said, how about Brian Cranston. You
could say Brian Cranston as an actor, he went from
the goof of Goofball Dad to Walter White, or you
could say Walter White, just as the teacher who was
this guy Eisenberg who turned into Eisenberg. They're completely opposites

(27:19):
my name, and it makes me think of these these
character arcs and movies and in life, like Meeklo from
Blood in Blood Out, he went from this guy who
wasn't accepted by the Vatos locals to one of the
leaders of Laonda Miklo. You could say Steve Erkele, Dude,
he took the glasses off, became Steve Erkel, Stefan or
Stefan er keln No, you're tgif Yeah, well I do

(27:43):
know it. But Tom Brady is another answer I came
to mind. Maybe not a full one eighty like Snoop Dogg.
Maybe like a one sixty because when he was with
the Patriots, he's kind of stiff, that guy with the Buccaneers,
And just since football now had he had an X
rated roast and we've seen a completely different side of

(28:04):
this guy. So it's almost a one eighty speaking of
being with the Patriots and being stiff. Look at Belichick, dude. Yeah,
I mean he's getting there. He's dating twenty three year
olds taking gigs.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
We're seeing an evolution of these people.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
There's a stiff choke in there somewhere. Hey, you know,
I are one of our sponsors. I thought of a
couple more surprised we didn't have more of those sponsors.
It's a chew on this. Vince McMahon came to mind.
I know he's in a lot of trouble now, probably
a bad dude, but when we were little kids, he
was the corny announcer that would announce with the bad guy,

(28:39):
whether it's like Bobby the Brain or Jesse Ventura. Hey,
Vince McMahon WWF. And then he took on that persona
of no chance in hell, and he was the bad
owner of wrestling. Yeah, because he was a big one
that blurred line of what was the reality versus what
was an act with I got one based on we
are talking about the Olympics, right, yeah, how Snoop Dogg

(29:01):
and Flavor Flave up up center representing the USA how
everybody loves him. How about in nineteen seventy six, yesterday
was the anniversary of Bruce Jenner winning gold in the decathlon.
Bruce Jenner now, Caitlyn Jenner.

Speaker 9 (29:18):
She's on.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
She was on whenies boxes and is now like a
right wing politician. That's you know, represents the transgender community.
Tell me Bruce Jenner's not on this list, Caitlyn Jenner.
That's that's someone makes me think of that? A mad
Rashad meme? You ever see of my favorite memes ever?
You've seen this? Right? I gotta find that just just

(29:38):
it really is unbelievable. Amadra Shad's wedding meme? Have you
ever seen that one? Dan Byron knows what we're talking about.
I found that ready, Yeah, a Madrashad had the worst
groomsman ever. It's a Madrashod. And right beside him is
Bill Cosby, Oh, Jase Simpson, and uh is a Bruce Jenner.

(29:59):
Ti there, Oh, that's the Howard Cosell. Howard Cosell. Howard
Cosell's is standing next to Bruce Jenner and OJ and
it said, you're not gonna get him. You're not gonna
believe this there's a bunch of them. There's so many
good ones because we've seen an evolution the arc the
one eighty that these people pulled in life, good for bad,
for whatever. It's not what they once were. I confused.

(30:20):
Two really great memes. It is does the Howard Cosell One,
Just to make it clear, he's in the broadcast booth
with OJ and Bruce Jenner. You'll get you're not gonna
believe this. And then the groomsmen of the model shot
were Bill Cosby and OJ. Isn't that crazy? So he
was one of the ushers. Phil Spector. Yeah, seriously, right,
let's go to the phones now we appreciate it the

(30:43):
full one eighty. Let's go to Dan in Washington. Line one.
What's up? Dan? Hey?

Speaker 9 (30:48):
Dan, Hey fellows, how you guys doing?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
What's up? Who comes to mind? Man? Uh?

Speaker 10 (30:53):
Mark Wahlberg?

Speaker 9 (30:54):
How do you go from dancing in your underwear but
one of the faces of Hollywood and you are literally everywhere?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's true, I mean, Mark Wahlberg is everywhere. Good answer, Dan, Randy,
Remember I was supposed to be an n K O
T B. And He's like, yeah, it wasn't for him.
So he decided to go with went with the Funky Bunch.
What's up, Randy?

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Oh yeah, I got one? Share it from Subway, Oh
my god.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
And it's an inspiration to the world to a kid
toucher we all wish would burn it out. I know
you're right, but you thought he was such a I mean,
he's still a goofball, but you thought he was this
wholesome goofball. Meanwhile, he had this crazy dark side to
him that you would never get that doc You ever
watched a documentary, Yeah, of course I did. It was
harrib Uh David and Cincinnati. What's up, David?

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Not much?

Speaker 9 (31:41):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
What you got? Man?

Speaker 9 (31:44):
I had two and you guys took him. I got
a couple more. I had Jenner and Pete ros obviously
from but I got Robert de Niro. He went from
all those Mafia movies to meet.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
The Falkers, I was gonna say, and then he went
to like crying liberal, like stopping his feet, right. I mean,
Robert Dear was a good one. I think that's a yeah.

Speaker 9 (32:10):
Then my second one, My second one's doctor great.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Doctor dre Well.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
He went, well, I don't know, did he change his image?

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Did he would you say the energy, I mean, just
more mainstream. With the head of five, I mean.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
It turned into a megabusiness man. But he's always stayed
kind of true to his music.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Danny G. You came up in hip hop radio, wasn't
becoming a powerful businessman.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
So did the the goal of a lot of people
in hip hop. Word, that was the aspiration for sure.
They didn't want to work for record companies ripping them off.
They wanted to make their own billions and millions of dollars.
And for that, Dre's living the dream.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
So he got that beats money. Yeah. Now, uh more
phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
and if we don't get to you by the ways,
uh at Covino and Rich on social media, Let's go
to Tacoma online. Five? Who do we have my handwriting cell?
Is this Ross? Hey? Rich?

Speaker 2 (33:01):
He's speaking of Tacoma's right? You made me think of Toyota.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah. How about the brand Kia? Oh yeah, I feel
like that pulled a one eighty Oh yeah. How about Visio?
That was the week if you went to your boys
house and you had a Visio, You like, yo, dude,
that's whack.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I'm going to someone else's house to watch the game.
But now they have a visy.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
You're like, oh, that's pretty good TV. It doesn't even
matter anymore. It doesn't matter. But dude, Kia, it was
the weakest sort of car and now it's pretty dope.
Changed image. What's up, Tacoma? How you doing? Is this Roger?

Speaker 9 (33:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (33:35):
This is Roger?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah? Right.

Speaker 10 (33:36):
So one of my you know, he had a run
and he was my one of my real favorite actress
for a long stretch, and that was mel Gibson. I mean,
when you go back to Braveheart, the Patriot Ransom, he
had a run.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
I mean he was.

Speaker 10 (33:52):
He was great in the early eighties, but in the nineties,
in the two thousands, he was incredible.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Let me tell you, mel Gibson. By the way, the
Patriot I feel because everyone loves Brave Heart so much,
I think the Patriots underrated. That might be my favorite mother.
And you know what, mel Gibson, I think he's turning
his image around a little bit. He's gone back and forth.
He said a lot of dumb things about the Jewish
community that you know, people change and you hope to forgive.
But mel Gibson, if you're interested, is making Lethal Weapon

(34:17):
five with Danny Glover.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
So he's also an incredible director, like Apocalypto. If you've
ever seen that, one of the best movies I've ever seen.
I always praise that movie. That's incredible. Whether you like
that guy or not, a movie's Faus's undeniably talented.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yes, it does a great clip of mel Gibson that
in your free time. Just look it up. He gets
a flat tire at a gas station. You're gonna try
to explain this one. Good luck, okay, And it's the
playful side of mel Gibson. Mel Gibson. Now you know what,
Let's go to Dan Byer. Let me know what. Good tease, Hey,
deep te guys, Dann No one's gonna pay attention. They're

(34:52):
gonna be wondering about mel Gibson. I was gonna say,
Champion sweats, yes, yo, dB. When we were kids, all man, Mom,
why do you buy be Champion stuff?

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Me?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Well, I got it at Modell's on the East Coast.
Now it's popular, now it's everywhere.

Speaker 11 (35:06):
The United States men's basketball team picked up an easy
win today against South Susan Dan one oh three to
eighty six. Man Andebayo eighteen points to lead the Americans.
Women's soccer, the United States beat Australia to one, there
on to the quarterfinals where they will.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Face Japan next.

Speaker 11 (35:22):
And women's volleyball, the Americans won in five sets over
Serbia in the pool they thought beat.

Speaker 12 (35:27):
As left for Ladeci to make four on history. Won
the gold in Tokyo. It's gonna back it up again
here in Paris, and the greatest swimming machine we've ever
seen loves.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
On to another goal here in Paris with a new
Olympic record.

Speaker 11 (35:45):
Katie Ladecci, you have the star on NBC and peacock
her twelfth career medal. That gold the eighth of her career,
tying Jenny Thompson for the most gold medals by an
American swimmer. A couple of other notes outside of the
Olympic Games, guys, the NFL is gonna experiment with Sony's
Hawkeye technology to him as your first downs during the
twenty twenty four season, Cavi, you know your Yankees one

(36:07):
today against the Phillies. Sorry, Rich, your Mets lost to
the Minnesota Twins. Yanks win sixty five twins down the
Matts by a score of seven to three. Braves over
the Brewers six to two. Orioles took care of the
Blue Jays ten for Jackson Holiday. His first career home
run is a grand slam. Guys, back to you, thank.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
You, dB. Was that Bob Costas on the call? By
the way, Dan Hicks Dan Hicks, it sounds he has
a Costas Dan Hicks his money and out we have
more time. He's really good in swimming, like money in swimming.
You got a Costas esque delivery. I was like, that's
not Bob cost Yeah, okay, you know you made me
think talking baseball. You made me think of how the
banning average I feel pull to one eighty because when

(36:45):
we were kids, that was everything mens mensin you had
to have a high banning average. Now that means jack
did Lee schools. My buddy recently said, if you bet
it under two seventy, he was like, scrumb, yeahwee two fifties. Good. Seriously, Well, hey,
we got more on Rich. Your feedback will get into
some Olympics. NFL kicks off tomorrow. All coming up. Fox
Sports Radio can be known Rich. But we have three

(37:11):
last phone calls on characters, people athletes that pull the
full one to eighty right before our eyes a La
Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flave, who have been very prominent
in the Olympics. Uh, let's go to the phones, and
Iowa was sam may have the number one answer on
the board. So oh, actually a phone caller said the
same thing. He overheard the collar.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
It no no, no is say it is a caller. Okay,
let's let's take his call.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Who is it, Danny. Let's go to Shannon and Reno. Shannon,
what's up the Beastie Boys from hip hop to rock guys?

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Yeah, that's not the caller that Iowa Samuel's referencing. They were,
but yeah, Shannan, Well, the thing is, what he's talking
about with the Beasties is that they were down and
out there for a second. After being the party boys
of hip hop, they reinvented themselves by doing live instrumentation.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
I remember that what was that on SNL when they
did Sabbath? The live performance was crazy. You got to
call spades fade. Not a great answer, It's really not.
I mean, I don't think the Beastie Boys took a
big one eighty in their career. I would say they
reinvented themselves Madonna. Who do we got next? Mike in
New Jersey?

Speaker 9 (38:20):
Mikey, what's up guys?

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Any buddy?

Speaker 10 (38:25):
So what about the poster boy of athletics, Lance Armstrong?

Speaker 1 (38:31):
There it is, This is the caller Sam overheard. You
know when you think about how beloved he was, and
he was sort of the villain, and he was demonized
in that way. I mean, he did it to himself.
But I would say that's that's got to be a
top three answer on the board. The reason, the reason
you started wearing biker shorts. I mean, how many people
picked up biking or donated were inspired by him? Had

(38:55):
Rich still wears those bracelets. My theory, my theory is
is that I forgive Lance Armstrong because he could be
the biggest jo of all time. He could be arrogant,
he could be you could be he could be the
worst dude. But the fact that saved hundreds of lives,
would save thousands of lives and people and did all
that for cancer research. I think it's a push. You
could be the worst guy in the world, cheat, cheat, cheap,

(39:16):
but you know what he cheated for. The outcome was
all this great? All right, so he rules like ten lives,
But he saved like thousands. It's like a train's going
for two people, you know, well kill one more phone call,
one more quick one here Timothy and Fretzno, Timmy, I
make it snappy, Timothy.

Speaker 8 (39:33):
Hey, guys, real quick on Lance Armstrong. If you look
into it, none of that money went to cancer research.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Oh then was the worst guy? Hey, Lance, I'm strong?
Is that true? Where did the money go?

Speaker 8 (39:46):
Is cancer awareness? Everybody's aware of cancer, but none of
it went to research.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
So I just went into marketing.

Speaker 9 (39:54):
People hate him so much.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Oh now I hate him even more. Thank you, by
the way. You know, for the previous call, it was
from Jersey. I had a good Jersey answer. And I'm
not even joking ahead. Snooky does like mom blogs and
mom stuff on social media.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
You know, let's call spade a spade, not a great
shut up.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
I'm done. Come on, so mean about the beast the
boys and you want to know with Snooky Sam, make
sure you play some Beasties next hour sown. All right,
thank you guys for hanging out. Delete the Snooky part
