Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, thanks for listening to the best of Cavino and
Rich podcast. Be sure to catch us live every day
from five to seven pm Eastern two to four Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Find your local station for Cavino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every day
on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. We all agree
that we're watching, and we're all waiting for Mike Tyson
to knock count j Paul.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
That's it. I feel like it's a I feel like
it's a cutoff too, meaning I think there's an age
in which, maybe like thirty ish or so, where if
you're thirty and younger, you never remembered any real Mike Tyson,
So you might be team Jake Paul here because he's
got fans, he's got, you know, people that love his
influencer stuff. So I think it's an age gap, and

(00:50):
I think I would imagine anyone thirty five, forty or
older has got to be pulling for Iron Mike.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
You're right, because the younger guys just know of the legend.
But Mike Tyson has become a movie star, a personality,
one of the most intriguing people on Earth.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Hot boxing podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Like he's transcended to sports, so it's not like these
kids don't know who he is. But yeah, I can
only imagine that most people are rooting for Tyson and
the only people that are rooting for Jake Parr hardcore
Jake Paul fans.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
But either way, we're one sleep away.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's my point.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
And we also got some Thursday night football that we
have to discuss. Rich has your pelts.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
There's there's layers to tonight's game and I'm glad we're
finally connected. Can we know we're we're both doing the
show from from home today? Is there installing a new
fish tank that you wanted in the studio? Is that
what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
They're finally they got the purchase, so to approved. I
put in for a full on tank and one of
those little one of those little blow upsadas.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, oh man, I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
We're redoing the studio, so we had to do it
from on location. And like Rich says, he's actually at
my parents' house because he's in Jersey, so he's visiting
my family and I'm just here in Los Angeles. But
we got to talk. Speaking of Los Angeles, Rich, and
say hi to my parents for me.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I will you know, your parents are so nice, and
it's funny because people are like, are you serious? Listen.
Cavino and I have been best budz for twenty years.
So I was in New Jersey today and I was like,
you know, I need a place to do the show.
I'm gonna go have dinner with Cavino's parents. Yeah, and
they have.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
The accommodations because I've done it a million times, so yeah,
it works.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
So yeah. Now, but uh, your parents, oh, they could
talk as much as me. For a minute, I'm like, hey,
maybe I'll just skip the show and talk to mister
missus Covino.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Oh no, please please. You'll have plenty of that later on.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So we'll find out more about what's going on with
Rich in a few minutes.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
He's on the East Coast.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
It ties into our old school in fifty hits discussion
what he did last night in New York City. But
since I'm out here in LA with Danny g and
Sam and Spotty and Bayer and everybody else home of
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Yeah, I'm actually in spots living room right now broadcasting,
which is true.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Weird, man, It's so weird.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
How we're just you know, from coast to coast and
all over the place.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Speaking of we got all the upgrades coming in the
producer studio, does it, Danny G. You have a cold plunge? Right,
they're gonna you have a little bet up. They're set
up different. Oh, it's gonna be hooked up. Yeah, for real, man,
we got the new studio being work done.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I don't know if you saw this. We all saw
it on social media. I don't know if you were
watching live, Danny G. You're the resident Lakers fan, but
it was Raptors Lakers and RJ.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Barrett's there he saw right.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, he looks into the stands and you could do
a jumboy sort of lip breeding moment where he recognizes
a celebrity in the stands and calls him out.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, it was this clip. Take a listen.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's five arms three is r J and barred the
Spa scores anal.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
RJ just gets the basket and the foul a possible
boy play.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
And he's making eye contact with Do you remember his name?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, of course, Lanish just always pay their debts. It
was Jamie Lanister and better known as well better known
as Jamie Lanister. I think his name is nikol Lai
Costa Waldow.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Is that his name? Spot?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, Nick likes Waldo, so I know him as Jamie Lanister.
You're like, who the guy from Game of Thrones?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So RG.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Barret's there in the middle of the game and he's like,
Game of Thrones?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Are you the Game of Thrones guy? And you see Jamie.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Lanister's stupid face in the stands me.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
By the way, I got to ask when Game of
Thrones was popular, did you guys all watch the intro?
My wife was convinced it changed every week? So you
never liked that?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Be like, yeah, right, what do you mean convinced it
absolutely did? I think she realized that before everyone else did.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
But yeah, it absolutely changed all the time according to
new conquerings and new territories, and it gave you new maps. Yeah,
so based on this RJ. Barrett going for the you know,
going for the going for the inside look, and then
foul and then oh look there's Jamie Lanister Game of Thrones.
I saw another clip where they miked up Deebo, Samuel

(05:21):
and Ricky Pearsall they sat courtside front row for Mavericks
Warriors and you see Deebo saying warriors and they're like, yo,
this goes are big and they're just talking and chirping
like yo, steph yo steph. Oh there's clay And it
got me thinking based on that and the RJ. Barrett play.

(05:43):
When you're a professional athlete, I know you're locked in,
but you're noticing who's sitting courtside, right.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I would think so they're not. I mean they're superstars
in their own right, so I was gonna say they're
not above it. But they're fans of these shows, in
these movies and these songs the same way we are.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Absolutely, So it's not that they don't notice it.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
They're just more used to it than the average fella
because there's a lot of celebrities court sides, so they're
just so used to seeing certain people there. But if
it's someone that they're into or show that they're into,
of course they're going to be excited. Of course they're
going to acknowledge it. I think they absolutely see it
all the time, and they just do a little hattie,
do a little wave and a little shrugger and I

(06:29):
look just to say, hey.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's not just whoa open game of Thrones Jimmy Leanister.
It's not just that it's not Demo and piersoll And,
like yo, other athletes, people notice when you know some
superstars sit in front row. I'm also talking about noticing
some fine ass booty because I know a few stories,
one of which is justin Erdlander. If you remember how

(06:54):
he met Kate Upton, Remember he threw her.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
A ball, Dude. This also is such an obvious part
of the game. They got people that will recruit the ladies.
We hear this about. Rocks are not only athletes. Rock
stars are always yeah that back.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Stall, hold on, Yeah, I know that Verlander came Upton
is a popular one. But is it a Dodger. I'm
gonna look this up, but I just remember, just now
I saw like a beautiful recap of a story where
it happens all the time, but he's married now and
he told the story. It's an MLB pitcher where he
tells the story about how he saw her, did that

(07:30):
whole deal where YO give this girl baseball my number
on it? Didn't a rod get accused of doing that
a couple of times to random women.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I'm sure I wouldn't put it past them. They're human
a lot of these guys are young dudes. They're just
throwing game out there. It's not talked about now because
of you know, the sensitive climate we which we live in,
and people don't want to put their.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Creepy ways out there.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
But you can't blame a young guy for using his
fame and using his money to make some moves on
beautiful women. Just to ignore that is also foolish.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
It happens. Danny, do you know what Dodger pittrod is?
I know.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
No.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I want you to look this up when you get
a chance. Hideo Yomo, No, the story of how Kyler
Glass now ah okay met his wife. He saw her,
He's like, yo, who is that? And she responded and
they started chit chatting and they're married. So listen, I
think it's funny when these athletes notice a celebrity. But

(08:30):
let me tell you. You think they're zoned in because
you are. But it goes back the first time we
ever heard of this. Let me take you back a
little history of sports, because that's you know, that's what
I'm That's what I'm known for. Rich Davis sports historian.
The story of John Candy. I know d B knows
the story Dan Byer, a man of history in the NFL.

(08:53):
The Super Bowl and the Niners played the Cincinnati Bengals
nineteen eighty nine. We know the story. Joe Montana tries
to calm down the team Joe Cool, and the story
goes he goes, hey, look it's John Candy and him
pointing out John Candy sitting in like the second or

(09:14):
third row of the Super Bowl in a jam zone.
Are you sure that's what I thought? He said, Hey,
look it's Enrico Palonzo. That's not what happened.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
No different, maybe well, well not rich, Maybe I'm confusing
the stories. My bad continue, but.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
He points out John Candy, and apparently that is sort
of what loosened up the team. Joe Montana's told the
story sins and like every Joe Montana story, you know,
he's like my hero growing up, he dumbs down and
minimizes all these cool stories. But if you did watch
Joe Montana Cool under pressure on Peacock, he did tell

(09:50):
the story about how the Niners are down sixteen thirteen,
like three minutes to go, They're on their own eight
yard line. They got to go ninety two yards to
win this game, and everyone's a little under you know,
everyone's a little out of it, Like how we lose
into the Bengals. It's bs, what are we doing? And
Joe Montana points out to Harris Barton, I believe yo,

(10:13):
Look dude, there's John Candy and that that's how the
story goes.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
So yes, So Joe Montana's Super Bowls, he at least
owns up to this one. He poo poo's on the
legend of Rudy. He says, the Rudy story didn't happen
as we were told. He said, not even close. But
he does say that this is a true story. And
if you put yourself in that huddle, in that pressure moment,
and your star quarterback says, look it's John Candy and

(10:42):
you turn around and it's actually him, you can see
how that brings a smirk and a chuckle and like
oh wow, and a little bit of calmness and fun
high pressure. Yeah, to a high pressure moment. I think
that's really funny, dude.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I mean to tie it into that legendary story. I
have quote right here, if that's cool with you, Joe
Montana in the docuseries, I said cool under pressure to
quote Montana Harris Barton, who was a stud for the
Niners back in the day. He goes Harris Barton. He
was our people WATCHO during the week of the Super Bowl.
Harris would come up to us like a little kid,
excited about all the celebrities he saw a super Bowl

(11:19):
week when you get in the game, though, Harris is
a pretty anal retentive guy, but he was still a
little tight in that moment. And Joe's like, you know what,
Harris loves celebrities and that's why Joe said, Yo, hey, Harris, Yo, Niners,
it's John Candy And which is it goes down as
a legendary moment. And in that documentary it was the
first time I remember seeing John Candy. They showed the clip. Yeah,

(11:42):
I know, yeah, you see him there.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
So Rich is saying, do you think that these athletes
notice this more often than we think? The answer is yes,
it happens all the time. We just don't see it
that often. You know, there's a lot of funny clips
you're making me think of. Are famous moments that you
make me think of. There's a really sketchy story, but
funny or interesting, I don't know the word to use it.

(12:06):
In today's world where Mickey Mantle talks about, you know,
recruiting women, you know, into the dugout under the bleachers.
He's written about those accounts, you know. So these are
legendary stories. So to think that these athletes are above
noticing beautiful women or celebrities is crazy. Not only that,
I don't know if you saw this, maybe Iowa Sam

(12:28):
could get the clip later on, but there was a
famous clip where Floyd Mayweather was fighting somebody and I
was fighting somebody. In the middle of the fight, he's
listening to the actual broadcast and comments on it. He
turns around starts answering back on the commentary to Jim
Lampley or Kellerman whoever was calling the fight.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
So not only they were like, I think they said
something to the effect of, like, I wonder what Mayweather's
thinking in this moment in floods, like y'all tell you
how I'm feeling exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
So, not only are they conscious and aware of who's
there and sitting sidelined, you know, I'm sure they're noticing
Mario Lopez's big head ringside, They're hearing what people are saying,
maybe not in the zone on it, maybe not focused
on it, but they're hearing it and they're noticing it
here and there. It's a matter of how second nature
a lot of this is for these athletes.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
But it is cool to see RJ.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Barrett acknowledge someone that he's a fan of. Hey, and
you know what, and there are different levels of celebrity
because they're basketball players and this is a show and
it was a massive.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Show that he's clearly a fan of.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
To call out Jamie Lanister, you don't think that if
you were on The Sopranos, you're like a different level
of fame, right, because people get way invested in these shows.
There's people on the Sopranos rich they talk about it
now that they don't have to do anything the rest
of their life. They're super famous because everybody watched it
and was that into it till this day. And that's

(13:50):
twenty something years later. So if you're a big fan
of these epic shows that meant so much to you,
it doesn't matter how famous you are. You could be
Tom Cruise, be RJ. Barrett, you could be Lebron James.
When you see those people you admire, you're like, oh,
that's insane, and it's kind of cool to see because
they're just human like everybody else.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
And it was Floyd. He did. He did talk yeah
to the commentators mid fight, mid fight and if you
see the clips, yeah, yeah, you see the clip and
he like he shouts out and they're like, yo, did
he just acknowledged the broadcast? Yes, he did because he
heard it and he's Floyd. But so a couple a
couple of funny clips if you just scrolling around social media, Hey, listen,

(14:32):
I'll repost them at covin on rich on Instagram. But
one of them is Ricky piersoll And and Deebo just
having a lot of fun at a Warriors game. And you
can tell the Warriors players are like, yeah, that's Deebo,
Samuel and r J Barrett just clearly saying, oh look, game.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Of Throns awesome, awesome.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
All right, So we want to hear your stories, your
take on that a funny clip that went viral. Plus,
we gotta talk DeMarcus cut He has some ideas on how.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
To boost NBA ratings speaking of the NBA.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
Love this. I love this story so much.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Right, Danny, It's a great story and I think it
might work. So how do they boost NBA ratings because
they're saying the three pointer is killing ratings. So we'll
get to some NBA.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Cavino out here in La rich on the East Coast,
New Jersey Coast to coast, bringing you the show. Danny
g on the phones at eighty seven seven ninety nine
on Fox Super producing Iowa Sam playing the love grooves
on this fight. Eve Thursday is the new Friday, but
on actual Friday we get Tyson Jake Paul.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I feel like we've waited.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
We've waited what almost nine months for this fight, so
it's final years.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
It's like a kid waiting for Christmas, even Christmas. I
really tomorrow. I mean, I'm so excited to be like,
all right, end of the week. Works over turn on
the Tyson Jake Paul fight on a Friday night, which
is unconventional. So I think it makes it even more
likely that people will watch because it's not taking up
your Saturday night. My life is done convention.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
You know.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
The bad part though, had this happened what was the
original date, July twentieth, we would have been there.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I know that is that, I know what idea, don't.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
We were some of the only media members that got
credentials for this.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We got credentialed, it got rescheduled for tomorrow, and Rich
and I already had a trip playing. Now we're gonna
be in Miami over the weekend, so look, we're gonna be.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Watching with friends.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
It does post the question though, of what are you
doing since it's such a throwback, nostalgic sort of moment.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Mike Tyson's fighting.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Again, that's Michael Jordan as Michael Jordan getting on the
court again. Things you thought you'd never see. Are you
getting back with your old school buds, Are you're getting
together with family? You gotta start making those plans today
because the fight is tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Do you think Mike or Jake Paul will notice anyone ringside?
To go with our last conversation like, yes, oh you
are there. You want what's up? I had one? I had?

Speaker 7 (16:56):
Oh my goodness, it's Mario Lopez. I love Saved by
the Bell. I have what hey with up? Oh my goodness,
Oh my throathy, Perez, I love white Man, can't dump.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
They're gonna notice that two million dollars pop up? Sweet,
that's right next to the ring.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, that's right, Danny g But I had a quick
story on that rich and it comes from the RJ.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Barrett viral clip.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Raptors are at the Lakers and he sees Jamie Lanister
from Game of Thrones there and he's like Game of
Thrones and Jamie, you see Jamie Lanister's really strong jawline
in the crowd, Like.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes, it's me from Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
My aunt Googie, right, she was a looker in her day,
my Aunt Googie. And she was at a fight and
apparently Purnell Whittaker made eyes with my aunt so much
so that security got involved. They're like, yo, Purnell wants
to meet you later on. And my uncle Bill got
all mad about it. He still talks about it to

(17:54):
this day, how he would have kicked Purnell Whittaker's Sweet
Pee's ass, Like, no, you wouldn't have, uncle Bill.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
But it's it's a good story. That's weird that it
is weird that your youngest cousin's nickname is little Sweetpea. Yeah,
I know. And he looks a little like for now,
but yeah, we don't talk about that. It doesn't look
like your Irish uncle, no, no, nothing like him at all.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
But it does happen, you know, It happens all the
time in fact, but it was a cool moment to
see RJ.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Barrett acknowledge game of thronts.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
It would have been way cool if it was Kalisi
no creepo, but yeah, Jamie Lanister is kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Now. A lot to get to. I do want to
talk about what action stars when we were kids have
like super hot daughters that are friends. I'll get to
that in a second, but I do want to talk
some Thursday night football tonight. I guess let's talk about
what two games mean this week. A lot of times
you see a fight, you see a game something in

(18:52):
the sporting world, and what you're doing is you're deciding
what this is doing is sort of testing where people
are at right. Like sometimes a fighter, they'll be an
undefeated fighter and you'll be like, oh, they never lost,
and I'm Cavino will correct me, be like, yeah, they
fought a bunch of tin cans. This is their real
first test. Sometimes I'll get whooped. Sometimes they compete and

(19:14):
you're like, yo, they were ready. Like Berlanga, he didn't win,
but he battled with Canelo Alvarez to the point where
you're like, all right, yo, he is ready. He's just
not gonna beat Canelo, but he's yeah, he's good. Yeah,
or Canelo.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
You know, Mungia fought real tough, just not ready for Canelo,
but he's you know, making a name for himself. You could,
you could have an honorable loss. You could still set
yourself up for the future. Canelo lost to Mayweather. Look
at the career he had. He just wasn't ready for
Floyd at that time. I think Cavino, there are such things.

(19:49):
People may argue, but I believe are such things. There
are such things as that's a good loss. Because again,
in sports and the fight game, no one's perfect.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So sometimes a loss.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Unless unless you're k Hennick, then of course there's except
this ster perfect.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
But there's two games this weekend. We'll talk about one
later on, and that is Steelers Ravens because that game
is telling. The other game that's telling is tonight. Are
these young Commanders new head coach, stud rookie quarterback, they
got a vibe, new ownership. Is this Commander's team ready

(20:31):
for the big time? Or to the Philadelphia Eagles against
Let's be honest. The weakness of the Commanders probably their cornerbacks,
their secondary and their rush defense, which means, are we
gonna see the Philadelphia Eagles go star m buckwil tonight
we looking at Devonte aj Brown and Saquon going nuts?
Or is tonight the night where it's like, no, no,

(20:54):
there's a new player in the NFC East and that's
the Washington Commanders. That's a great analogy.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
He really was, man, because this is the true test
for the Commanders to see where they stand. You know,
could they still lose and have a moral victory here,
Maybe they're good enough to compete and actually beat the Eagles. Look,
Washington seven to three, Philadelphia seven to two. They're at
Philly though, so advantage Philly in dude, Saquon Barkley coming

(21:19):
off that super hero leap he did over people, Like,
you know, they're playing really good right now in a
really great zone. So if Washington could go there and
actually win, that says way more about that.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
I think. I think if you see the Washington Commanders
come out strong tonight, if they win, I listen, we'll
go over it later in my bets. But I like
Philly to win tonight, not because I want them to win.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Or is this Canelo telling Berlanga's He's good, but he's
not ready.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
I think that might be the outcome you get.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
You know, That's what I'm feeling too, I really am.
I'm thinking, Yeah, man, Washington is good. They're really good.
They're really fun.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
But the Eagles they started, I feel like they started slow.
We weren't even talking about them for most of the season. Yeah,
I've told I've told some Eagle fan friends. I'm like, yo,
like I've been not respecting you enough. Your team is
like a sneaky good seven and two.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, and since then, you've seen that they've gotten better better,
like sort of slowly revved it up to seven and two.
Now they're playing like the Eagles, like you figured the
Eagles were supposed to play. So I feel like you're
gonna get a good battle, but they're just not at
the Eagles level yet. And that's just my gut feeling.
And you know, if they prove us wrong tonight, hey,

(22:36):
that's cool. That's why we watch.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, Danny g do you get the same feeling that
the collapse of the Eagles last year left, like like
almost like a hangover on our minds where it's like, yo,
maybe Nixie Rianni and this team stinks, but now we're like,
you know what, maybe they are good.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah I said that the other day. We're kind of
waiting for the other shoot to drop almost and it's not.
They are legit. And you know, the one thing I'll
say about the Commanders is I feel like maybe they
have some extra fire into their ass. Is from that
close loss last weekend. So Jaden Daniels, you see that
look in his eyes on the on the sideline when
he couldn't get back into the game there, mm hmm.

(23:11):
I would be a little worried about that fire coming
from the reds I'm calling them the Redskins.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
Now.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
The thing with the Eagles, they're coming off a high
obviously pounding the Cowboys. So yeah, this is gonna be
a great Thursday night game.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I think of the two games I mentioned, I hate,
I hate to say the word telling, but they both
will be telling. Are they ready for the prime time
or are they just good teams? Because again, Eagles hosting
the Commanders is very similar. It gives a very similar

(23:46):
feel to me as the Steelers Ravens game because I'm like, yeah,
like I expect the Ravens to win. If the Steelers win,
I'd be like, oh, damn. Even though those Steelers have
had the Ravens number over the last few years, I
just still feel like the raven and Eagles are better teams.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
I'd be more the Steelers, and I'd be more surprised
if the Commanders beat Philly. Even though Daniels looks like
a superstar in the making, I mean he's playing like
a superstar leading this team. I mean Russell Wilson, if
you look at his stats, dude, they're really solid. So
when you compare their team led by Russell Wilson beating Yeah,
Wilson's veteran, so to think that he can beat Lamar

(24:26):
Jackson and the Ravens, it seems more possible to me.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Well, I think Vegas is giving Washington a hell of
a lot of respect in the form of Eagles minus four.
You know, when you do the blind test on this,
Like if I didn't look at the point spread and
you said, what do you think Vegas has it as,
I would have said Eagles by six, six and a
half four, I mean you could buy a point and

(24:50):
get that down to a field goal. So I think
a lot of people, you know, maybe think a little
higher than the Commanders that I'm thinking right now.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
All right, well, you're gonna give us your solar PA
parlay later, you're gonna give us where your money's at
or what.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'll give you. I'll give you a solar power parlay later.
Plus I think I have just the right pick to
make for tonight. So we'll get to all that. Don't
you worry, buddy boy, But you want to go to
dB for an update and see what's going on. What's up?
Dance by dB?

Speaker 8 (25:15):
You want my two cents?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
I do.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
It's tough spot for Washington, really short week, physical game
against Pittsburgh last week. I know Washington's getting Brian Robinson back.
You mentioned the win against Dallas. Philadelphia didn't have to
play everybody the whole game. They get Jordan Mylotta. I
think it's really tough for Washington tonight, but we'll see.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Again.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I'm Steve Cavino in La Rich Davis in New Jersey,
getting ready for a pizza night with my family.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, it's a whole other story. Oh just let people
know Cavino and I are not together. We've just worked
together twenty years, like I know exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
So thank you guys for hanging outside from our throwback
movie discussion coming up in just a few minutes. We
will talk more NFL, some great teams this weekend. Riches's
solar power parlay and the story about the Marcus Cousins.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's a wild story. I love this story. So it's
a before we get to the old school. Let me
set up the DeMarcus Cousins thing because ratings are low.
He has a pretty fun idea. But are you all
on board? I know Danny watches a little more NBA
than we do, in fact a lot more. He's like Laker.
He's like the Lakers the way you are with the Yankees,

(26:36):
like you're zoned in. Is there a lack of interest
because of the three pointers? Do you buy into the
fact that three point shot after three point shot takes
away from the gritty inside game that was fun to
watch and the dunks and all that has The three
pointer killed TV ratings for real?

Speaker 4 (26:53):
I think the younger generation don't mind all the threes
have they're the kids on the court, you know, Thank
you Rich. I've done youth coaching, and when I coached
youth basketball, they were all trying to be Steph Curry
shooting from the half court line.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Well, hold on, hold on, you're dead on there, right,
Steph Curry changed the game. You watch any young kid play,
that's how they play the game. But young kids don't
watch TV the way older people watch TV.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
So, oh yeah, you're right, there's NBA Twitter.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
They got right exactly.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
So it makes sense who watches TV in the old
school Nielsen raidings sort of way, old people who might
not like that gameplay. But young people who play that
game and enjoy it and have grown up seeing Steph
hit threes, they're absorbing the sport in a completely different way,
and it might affect the ratings.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Well, I'm with Cousins on his idea. I like it,
and I think it would also bring like an NHL
mentality back to the league because I love the nineties
NBA matchups of the Knicks and you know, fill in
the blank, because whoever the Knicks played, they had to
step up their game and be physical to match the
in tensity of the New York Knicks.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, I just think Cavi, you know, and you now
that with the demographics, right, like if you do watch
kids play at the gym, or if you're shooting some
hoops at the at the schoolyard when we were younger,
you know what the hottest thing was. The hottest thing
was the neighborhood kid who had the adjustable rim because
we all wanted to slam dunk. No one wants to

(28:22):
slam dunk anymore. Yeah, you want to see that. Look
at the NBA All Star weekend. It's a real reflection.
The three point shootout never was as cool as the
slam dunk contest. And now you can almost say that
that gets more attention than the slam dunk.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Contest, especially from younger people who don't watch sports the
way we watch sports. Now, we are going to tell
you what DeMarcus cousins idea is to boost ratings and
dive into that a little bit. Plus again more Thursday
night football. But look at the time. Let's go, there's

(29:00):
a surgeon.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yea.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
What we gonna do is go back back into time.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty
hits at fifty after CNR give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, so we give you the hashtag TVD. We throw
it back every Thursday and reminisce. So were you with
you at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Would
like to get you involved again. Covino and Rich Everything
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now we
already mentioned I'm here in La Danny g. Sam, We're

(29:38):
all here on the west side. Rich is on the
East coast. I think we start this discussion with, well,
you're doing some hosting out there, right, and since you
were in New York City, what ended up happening last night?

Speaker 1 (29:50):
By the way, before I tell you what I did,
laste like it ties into our old school. You said
throwback Thursday. Yeah, I know exactly when that started to
be used. Give me your guest' what year was the
first time someone said throwback Thursday?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Man, I mean, it's far Yeah, it's got to be
part of the Twitter social media era. So I'll go
twenty twenty fourteen.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
I will say, I'm any guesses two thousand and eight. Wow?
Why why two thousand and eight.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
I don't know. It just feels like it was introduced,
kind of popularizing two thousand and eight.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
I want to say it's before that. I'm gonna say
two thousand and two.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
You guys are all in the ballpark. O six the
Orange of Throwback Thursday. According to Sports Illustrated, it was
a basketball reference. At first, they would do throwback Thursdays
to old school NBA stuff. Oh wow, people caught onto TBT.
Next on Tuesday, we'll go with the origins of Taco Tuesday.

(30:45):
All right, meantime, in the meantime, last night, I was
in New York City for one night. I was in
and out of the city. I'm going back, you know,
I'm leaving town. But I bring that up because I
had one night and no real plans, and I said,
you know what, I want to go see a show
by myself. Why not? No one's gonna ever want to
see this with me? Back to the Future on Broadway,

(31:10):
And if you are into going to see shows with
the wife or your girlfriend, or if you want to
bring your family. My review is this fantastic when it
comes to you know, it was fun. The guy that
played George McFly was great. It was just it's just
a good time. The music was meh because other than
the Healey Lewis songs, it was original music. Eh.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
The music, it's like it's a musical of sorts. Is
that it's a yeah, it's a Broadway show. Well, I
didn't know it was a full on musical.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Besides Earth Angel, Power of Love and Johnny be Good.
They had to come up with like original music, and
the original stuff wasn't great, but the special effects with
the DeLorean, like it felt like an amusement park ride.
So I recommend seeing it. That's besides the point. Danny.
It was like it was an amusement park ride years
ago if you remember it was. Yeah, But it's funny

(32:00):
because Danny g hit me up with it and article
he saw, which is Back to the Future will never
have a fourth film. I know we've been teased with
like fake trailers like what did they do with Back
to the Future for Well, that's never gonna happen, and
we'll tell you why. And it inspired the thought of
what old school movies and shows should never have a

(32:25):
reboot or a remake and which ones did that you
wish didn't? All right, so eight ninety nine f Fox,
put your thinking caps on and be Direland and get involved.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Let us know your.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Thoughts, which shows, which movies should never be remade.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
You'll take your feedback next Cavino and rech Red here
Fox Sports Radio Thursday. Coincidentally, today in the news on TMZ,
Bob Gail was saying how there's never gonna be a
fourth installment of the movie. Robert Zemeckis also chimed in
and said it's never gonna happen. However, he has pitched

(33:04):
or thought about making a movie out of the musical,
but movie studios don't seem to dig that idea. But
it seems that we're never going to fourth one and
probably shouldn't ever get a fourth one. Well, co mean,
I thought the Jets can't be wrong about everything, So
I was like, I'll take that word on the Broadway musical.
But my takeaway, you know, my old school Siskel and Ebert,

(33:25):
my rotten potatoes as you call it. Yeah, my review
is the special effects were like something I've never seen.
I really did. I think the way they made it
look like that DeLorean was moving and the clock tower, Yo,
it was on point, like really really good. But other
than Johnny BeGood and Earth Angel, Earth Angel, other than

(33:47):
the songs you know and Power Love and Back in Time,
they had to fill it with like ten other songs,
and those other songs were like mediocre originals. So other
than that, I think it was worth watching. If you
need a date night out and there's a you know
it's coming to your town or your city, that's gonna.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Be recommend seeing Biff singing about being a butt heead
and yeah, it's gotta be weird to see these weird
renditions that go along with the movie you know and
love so well.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
It was solid, though, it was solid, but it got
us thinking about what never should be redone. What movies
did they remake And you're like, yeah, they shouldn't have
done it, and uh, let's let's Danny g said the
phones are hot. But I want to say Bob Gail,
the guy that was one of the writers behind Back
to the Future, which many say is one of the
most perfect movies ever. Right, Yeah, he's in the news today.

(34:40):
Correct me if I'm wrong, which is unlikely as I'm
mister perfect. Bob Gail, the writer, came up with the
concept of Back to the Future because he saw an
old picture of his dad in high school and he thought, Hey,
I wonder if I would have been friends with my dad.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, that's that's exact. Actually, correct if.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I forget if Bob Gail was the nerd or we
can't think Bobby Rail can we. I think Bob Gail
felt like, I'm not a nerdy. My dad was cool,
and it's a reverse with George McFly and Marty, where
Marty's like cool and he's like, my dad was a nerd.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
And it's a legendary franchise. Three movies were made. Some
people think the third one shouldn't have been made. I'm
one of those people. I didn't like the third one.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Oh, come on, No, I really didn't, man, And I'm
a huge fan of the T five.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Come on, bar find me.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
I'm not a big fan of Mad Dog tennon.

Speaker 6 (35:31):
But hold on, and I fact check you guys. You
guys are both right, all right.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Bob Gail's idea, he said, I wondered if me and
my dad would have been friends had we attended school together.
He said he realized that he could test this theory
by traveling back in time.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Now say before we go to the phones, and I
thank you guys eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
I also want to say that sometimes we're wrong. Because
when I heard about Cobra Kai. And by the way,
not only does Tyson fight but the final season of
Cobra Kai continues on Netflix. Season six, Part two continues tomorrow.

(36:07):
I thought they should have pulled the Johnny Lawrence and
leave well Enough alone.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I'm like, yeah, leave those.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Movies alone, and we got that show reboot Cobra Kai
and it's been a great series ever since. So sometimes
taking a chance if you if you do it the
right way, it could work.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
But I haven't a go ahead Cobra Kai. Yes, but
you're forgetting the Will and Smith and Jada, the Jaden
Smith Kara.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Whoa, whoa back up before that, Rich, you're forgetting Hillary
Swank in the next.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, yeah, Can skipped, Can skipped a couple stinkers and
went right to Cobra Kai. That's not how it works, Cove.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Well, look that.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I like Krate Kid the og Karate Kidd two was good,
Hillary Swang was and Jayden Smith was weak, you know,
but they came back. I thought, you leave that franchise
atone with Daniel Larrusso and Billy Zapka and you know,
Johnny Lawrence. They brought it back and it worked out.
So if done right, I think there's a possibility. But

(37:08):
what are the ones that come to mind to you, like,
don't ever touch it sacrilegious, It's a huge mistake. You
got to realize Hollywood, you know, I think running out
of ideas. People are like, no, because it's just familiarity.
That's why they make these movies. It's easy to get done.
I think they're running out of ideas.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I think there's ideas that just it's easier to make
something people from guess what it's bound to happen.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
So let's make our protests now, which should never be touched?

Speaker 4 (37:35):
You know, I'll bring it to sports The first one
that came to mind. We all love the first one
so much. We reference it all the time on the
show Major League Two. What a stinker?

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, they should have left that one? How not.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
Exactly? I feel like without without Willie Mays Hayes, they
should have just left it alone.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
That that that's always the case too, when you don't
have the full cast back, it just doesn't feel the same.
And you needed Wesley Snipes in the second one. So
which ones should be left alone?

Speaker 1 (38:11):
And rich?

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I can't help but think too though, some of these
movies that we think are great, they look so old
and dated to a next generation that you know, sometimes
it just has to be redone to get their attention,
because there are great stories that should be told.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
I feel like my changing, my feelings are changing.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
A little bit on those. But I'm ready to go
to the phones.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
All right, let's start in Huntington Beach, California.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Jerry, Hey, Huntington Beach, Jerry, what's up?

Speaker 1 (38:37):
What's happened?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
What's happening was actually rebooted. They did what's Happening?

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Now? Do you remember?

Speaker 5 (38:42):
So I'm thinking what should be probably can be remade
in Blazing Shaddles.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Okay, it shouldn't right, you're saying it shouldn't be made,
and there's.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
No way that would be okay in today's climate.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
It would never fly in our PC world. Right, So
I actually agree with you. But if you wanted to,
let's say we go back. Let's say we were pushed
so far that the world just becomes un PC again.

Speaker 7 (39:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Don't you think that you would.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Have to remake some of these movies because no one's
gonna watch those old movies. Dude, I can't get my
girlfriend's a little younger. I can't get here to watch
anything that looks slightly made in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
She's like, it looks so old.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
So that's why I'm starting to feel like maybe some
of these need to be redone.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
I don't know throughout your girlfriend or daughter. No, like
Rich the Sandlot, right, Yeah, it's a classic sports movie.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
It's great one and done leave it alone. But you
don't think that with a newer cast we would hate it.
I get it, we would hate a reboot in a
remake bo a younger, newer cast, fresher cast, fresher effects.
You don't think it would translate better to a younger
group of kids that would be ready to accept that
for a new generation.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
I mean, listen, there have been reboots and revamps of
some of our favorite TV shows, and I think they've
all been pretty good for the most part. Like let
me give you a couple of cheesy ones and Stinker.
I'd be willing to see.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
A sequel of the old crew and where they are
now and their kids are friends. Maybe I'd be willing
to see a sequel of that. And that's kind of
what we're talking about, because there will be no back
to the future, for there will never be According to
Zamechasan Gail, Now, we've.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Been tricked by fake trailers, and you know what, also,
the reality that Michael J. Fox got sick and Parkinson's
if he you know, that's a whole question itself. If
he had not ever got sick, we probably would have
got the rebirth of Marty McFly at some point.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Doc, hey Rich, how about the you so talked about
being fooled by trailers? Just this week there was one,
a fan made trailer of Forrest Gump too.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
I felt for you. Do you know that there was
supposed to be a Forrest Gump too? Do you know
this story? No? I don't think so. Tell me. They
had a script and everything, and it was around two
thousand and one because nine to eleven was the reason
they cut the script because it was the continuation of
Tom Hanks's story as far as Gump, and after nine

(41:14):
to eleven they're like, yeah, just scrap the project. Look
it up. There was a there was a script and
everything in place, and it sort of picked up where
Gump left off.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Just this week it was a fan made trailer of Tomhunk.
Tom Honks, Tom Hunk, I mean, he looks great, man.
I don't know if you've seen him lately, how you
feel about him. Forrest Gump's son, played by Timothy Shallome,
and this made up trailer and it garnered so much
attention that people were freaking out.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Like, don't make a second one? How could they do
this so unk? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Any other ideas come to mind? Let us know, let's
go to the phones. Who do we got Danny.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Let's travel to Ohio and keV is on the phone.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
What up? keV?

Speaker 9 (41:56):
Hey? How's it going guys?

Speaker 1 (41:58):
What up?

Speaker 6 (41:58):
Buddy?

Speaker 9 (42:00):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (42:01):
First off, really.

Speaker 9 (42:06):
Fish Lion.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
That was awesome.

Speaker 9 (42:09):
But the two movies that cannot be remade unless they
are a muppets Our Princess Bride and.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
You know Goonies. Okay, the Princess Bride and you know Goonies. Yeah,
but maybe you don't remake Goonies.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
But you wouldn't want to see they've been teasing them
now doing it about their kids?

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Yeah, and that's always Hollywood spin, right when a lot
of time has elapsed, Like, okay, we'll have the main characters,
but it'll be about their kids.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Dude.

Speaker 6 (42:40):
The older actors can appear as the parents.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
You wouldn't want to see Kihi Kwan as Data who
just won an Academy award.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
He's on his comeback.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
You want you wouldn't want to see short round as
as a goonie again. You wouldn't want to see Sean Aston.
You want to see Corey Feldman and and and Josh
Brolin in goonies and their kids are goonies now and camin.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
I want to see Chunk come out of retirement. I would.
It's Chunk's I think. Isn't chunks skinny? Now? He's a lawyer,
He's a key he Kwan's lawyer. Yeah, so agent that. Yeah,
the bonds that were made in nineteen eighty five. By
the way, in September, two months ago, the New York
Post reported, Hey, you guys, Gooney sequel is happening. Within

(43:22):
forty eight hours, it was shut down by Martha Plimpton
and your dude, Corey Feldman said, Hey, it's simply not true.
There's no script in place. They were all like, for
a minute, we were tricked again.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
Corey Feldman did say though, that he'll he'll be on
the movie soundtrack for it.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Yeah, great performer. I think he wrote the Back to
the Future soundtrack that Rich saw yesterday. But yo, guys,
as this one before we go back to the phone calls.
I'm sort of torn on this one because says multiple
versions of this. Okay, how do you and this is
not to sound sexist, but you're so good at it, Rich,
let's hear it. How do you feel about the all

(44:01):
female cast of Ghostbusters? Oh? And then when they followed
it up with the reboot of the remaining real Ghostbusters
from eighty four, because there's layers that they they did
the like the Melissa McCarthy.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Ghost by sexist answer.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
I didn't like the female reboot, and I kind of
liked them bringing back the original Ghostbusters.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, yeah, but I think you know, Covino, when you
changed the sexuality or even the race sometimes of people,
it it's not even a reboot or remake then, So
why not just make a new movie like was it
the honey They made The Honeymooners with like.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Cedric the Entertainers.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, really the Honeymooners.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
I'm with you, man, just rename is something else, or
you know, create a different franchise. I'm with you on that, man,
I don't know what else should be well and left alone,
let's just put it that way.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Well, all right now, in the Netflix world, they've done
this quite a bit, and I'll admit it, it's as
cheesy as humanly possible. But I actually thought Fuller House
was done well. The late great Bob Sagett like that
was like it was designed to be super cheese, and
I watch it with my wife and we enjoyed it enough.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Now I think, hey, by the way, you can't bring
that up and not say we're saying the best out
to Dave Kolier, who announced he has cancer this week.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
Dave Coolier cut it out fresh Prince of bel Air
on Peacock. They did that serious spin on it where
it was like more of a drama, and I thought
that was pretty good. I'll be honest, I thought it
was good.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
That was a good spin, though a different twist. Right now,
we're all saying, hey man, some things should be just
left alone and leave it alone, don't do it. But
if I would have told you that they're gonna make
a Gladiator too, you'd been like, oh man, I'll do
a Gladiator too. And everybody's saying that the second movie
that's coming out now with Denzel Washington, Pedro, Pascal Paul Mescal,

(45:50):
they're saying that this is gonna be like one of
the most epic films of all time, and it's gonna
remind everybody why we love going to the movies, why
we enjoy movies in the first place. But if you
would have told me, though, this is why I'm having
a little change of heart, because I used to be
very adamant about leave it alone and do something else.
If you'd have told me they're gonna do a sequel

(46:14):
to Gladiator, I would have said, I just don't why, why.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
It's so good?

Speaker 2 (46:20):
And I'm hearing nothing but great things and at Denzel's
putting his best performance out there.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Ever cove Danny J. Would you agree that it's the
question at hand isn't really do we like reboots and remakes.
It's if they're good, we love them. If they stink,
that's when we get mad and we're like, would you
do that? Like, I'll give you two examples. You well,
you say Gladiator two. I'm hearing rave reviews as well.

(46:45):
We're all excited about Happy Gilmour Too, The sad Man,
Christopher McDonald, Dan Patrick's gonna be in it, Like we're excited.
That's in I think they're saying maybe March of twenty
twenty five, you know you're gonna watch that day one
on Happy Gilmour Too. But you know what you weren't
really pumped about, and it's on every list of worst

(47:06):
ideas to reboot. Have any of us seen the remake
of White Men Can't Jump? No?

Speaker 2 (47:12):
I heard it was really bad. Yeah, I heard it
was really bad. Yeah, I remember when it came out.
And so I do want to point out that if
we are combining reboots and sequels in this conversation and
it is.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
It, guys, is it much harder as the years go by?
Remember how excited everybody was for a Top Gun sequel.
We got teased about it for years and years. Finally
we all saw it, and I think they did a
pretty good job on it. It seems like once a
certain length of time, then it makes it that much harder.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Yeah, Danny G Yeah, you have to ask yourself, is
there a need for that or a want for that?
Like The White Man? Was there a want for like
a remake of that movie?

Speaker 6 (47:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I don't think so. No, But you know, these are
all good questions. Again, I think it's less about do
we like and want reboots and remakes and all that,
or is it simply if it was a great movie
that you really yearned for, like let's be honest. Top
Gun the second one you might say the same about
after seeing gladiat It too. I thought the second Top

(48:15):
Gun was better than the og Listen, Happy Gilmore. I'm
pumped about this because we love the Sandman and Ben
shoot uh, Like, why would we not want more?

Speaker 2 (48:24):
I'll be honest, I'll tell you why I do that, idiot,
Happy Gilmour. It's a it's a classic for our generation.
But it's a goofy movie. So even if it stinks,
you're not gonna be mad that it tarnished the original. Right,
some movies are just next level epic where you're like, oh,
I don't even mess with that franchise in any way possible.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Cove you and I now you could say. Now it's
easy for us to say, like, well, it wasn't great,
but there's a movie that you and I saw and
we both liked it a lot. You probably never saw
it a second time, but you and I went to
see the second Thumb and Dumber movie with Jim Carrey
and Jeff Daniels. I thought it was good. Yeah, it

(49:05):
was never no one else really liked it, but I'll
be honest, I was excited to see it. I was
excited to see Rocky Beboa when Rocky six came out.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Absolutely, And I have one more little nugget to think about.
And I know Iowa Sam has a few and then
the rest of your phone calls eight seven, seven nine
nine on Fox. We don't like when they mess with
these movies, but some movies need to be messed with.
When you think about how far we've come in film
and movies, right, like when you think of goofy eighties
movies that we liked, don't you think there's some movies

(49:34):
that could be redone to be better in today's world,
like a Gremlins. Of course there was a Gremlins too,
but I'm saying the Gremlins, who's watching that? No little
kid's gonna watch that. No one's watching it at all.
But it was such a big part of the eighties.
If they said, yo, we're gonna make it with cooler
effects and cooler animals and cooler monsters, you don't think
that it would It would translate more and better for

(49:58):
today's eyes, no doubt, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
I like, by the way, Gremlins is a great like.
If they redid that with cool effects, that would be awesome. Buddy,
Michael Yo hit us up. Uh, he's a dumb and dumber.
The second one was awful, another bad sequel that we
don't really talk about. I don't even know if I've
seen it. Have you seen the second Zoolander? I don't
think so. I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
That they came out a few years ago.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Michael Yo points out something really interesting, like, if the
first one's near and dear to us, we sort of
ignore that they even like tried a second one.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Yeah. Yeah, that's right too, because it ruins the first.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
Well, let's go to Chris Kentucky right now.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Hey, guys, remember I within Hangover and then they did
Hangover too.

Speaker 6 (50:48):
Yeah, so I every every holiday season I hate turning
on Disney Plus and seeing that they made more than
moved two Home Alone.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
It urged me.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Whoaoa And a lot of people say that part two
is better than the first one. No more than two,
he's saying more than saying after that. Yeah, really much
like my can you know, much like my theory about
Jaws without Roy Scheider, no mcaulay Culkin, no Home Alone? Man?
Are you how many of those bad boys? Three half?
They might be like three or four?

Speaker 6 (51:16):
Oh, man, you actually I liked Home Alone three. I
thought it was pretty good.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
What I leave the studio? Oh okay, yeah, now you're
right on?

Speaker 6 (51:24):
All right. Daniel in Virginia, Daniel, what's up? Prompson conveno
for the alien Ant Farm song earlier?

Speaker 1 (51:31):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
I got a couple of quick ones for you, sequels
that should have never been made in movies, super tver, terrible,
no problem.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
That's why, man, it's it's You're gonna be so disappointed
if they don't, if they don't land it right?

Speaker 6 (51:47):
All right?

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Scott in Michigan, Hey, Scott, hang on, let's see Scottie
there he is right there.

Speaker 6 (51:54):

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Thank you man. Very nice, very nice.

Speaker 9 (52:06):

Speaker 4 (52:07):
I called because this is a passionate topic for me.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
And I can tell you this.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
If they ever attempt to touch the perfect movie that
is The Breakfast Club, I'm out nice.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
It still hits you know what all those Yeah, let
me John Hughes movies. I've I've shown them to my
daughter and they still resonate with teens today, which is
amazing and so great.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
But last six always stand to test the time. Remember that,
I mean that super knowledgeable call. It just based on
how we started the call. Oh yeah, that guy we're
talking about Breakfast Club could be know would be a
movie where you could see them taking a bunch of
different personalities and being like, we can redo this right.
You totally could see them doing it.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
But I haven't seen any of these John Hughes movies
done yet.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
All right, let's go to James in Virginia.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Hey, what up, James?

Speaker 9 (52:54):
Oh, thank you for taking my call. Gentlemen, Happy Thursday.

good Fellers, Ray Liota, Pashi and de Niro in the
last one say hello, but y'all have a great day,
Gentlemen's Luca commander.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Dude, those are all great answers. You're not gonna make
a You're not gonna remake or reboot or come out
of a sequel for good Fellas. This is not happening.

Speaker 6 (53:30):
Kind of tough to make a scarface sequel.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
Yeah, no, yeah, it's not happening.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
All right, So any more phone calls now, DANNYG or
we're gonna just hit you.

Speaker 6 (53:41):
The lines are melting right now. But I know we
got to move on to that NBA topic.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
So guys, thanks for hanging tight. Hit us at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Remember we throw it
back every Thursday. Old school win fifty hits. Now, Mark,
we went old school and you said hanging tight. You
should have said hanging tough.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Hanging tough man your favorite new kids like NKOTB.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
We're rough rough.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
So DeMarcus Cousins is in the news and he was
talking about ways to boost NBA ratings. Before we get
into that solar power parlay. We got to tell you
his idea because it's ridiculous and Danny G loves it. Yeah, Danny,
I'll hand it over to you, Danny G.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Because I think this is great and it has to
do it getting all rough and tough, like it's like
the the bad boy Pistons of the nineties.

Speaker 6 (54:27):
Yeah, I'm gonna pull an Iowa Sam.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
Right now, it's time for DB's update, and then when
we come back, we'll discuss Cousin's idea on how to
get more eyeballs on the NBA.

Speaker 6 (54:37):
Right before your power parlay rich.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
Man, you know, dann Byer, I feel like they must
have got an email from the boss about teasing. What
do you think about?

Speaker 8 (54:45):
This is Danny G's subtle lay of passing along the
message to you.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
What does he mean by this? Danny G exactly like, yeah, so.

Speaker 6 (54:55):
Here's his quote.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
He says, if I was running things, obviously I wouldn't
mind little two minute fight sessions something like that. He
made these comments to run it back TV. That gives
guys a few moments to get it off their chest
and get back to the game. I think it's entertaining.
I think it's great for sports. Only the strong survive.
That's part of it.

Speaker 8 (55:14):
For me.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
I think it would be entertaining and I definitely think
it would boost the ratings.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
And you know what, you know what this makes me
think of.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
I mean, first of all, funny to think about, but
it takes me back to the Konami days throw back
Thursday when you were playing Nintendo. It's like combining.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Double Dribble with grades of Steel.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
It's like playing double dribble right, and then all of
a sudden you hear fight and instead of the hockey fight,
you're having two basketball dudes fight, and then you go back.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
To the game.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
It's kind of like that. It's kind of like double
dribble meets blades of steel. He wants that for real life.
That would would undoubtedly increase ratings, but it'll probably never happen.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I would say there's two ways to increase ratings, and listen,
you're not gonna get God too. You know what is
the analogy would be Getting guys to stop shooting threes
would be like trying to tell baseball players that batting
average matters don't hit home runs. Like the game has changed.
It's like, you know, guys about two twenty and hit
forty home runs. Guys shoot you know, thirty three pointers.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
It's it's like it's the game which matter because kids
want to see these highlights on social media? So are
there social media ratings because they're not watching TV?

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Two ways to increase ratings always and it's fighting and cheeks.
So fighting in cheeks, I mean, I guess I think
about what do I want to see, and I'm like, well,
I like to see some I'd like to see some
some hot hot women, and I like to see some fighting.
So those are those are very easy, low hanging fruit things.

(56:46):
So like maybe maybe a little more shot of some
of the Lakers dancers or Laker girls, or maybe maybe
more shots of the XFL formula doesn't always work. Yeah, yeah,
you're right, something like maybe maybe just more looking women.
Maybe I'm out of here, but I.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
Mean, riches would have to just be like goons fighting
because you obviously you wouldn't want Steph Curry and lighter
weight guys like that having to box it out for
two minutes against you know, somebody else's NBA player. But
imagine if you did have like Cousins, this would give
him a job back in the NBA, because like hockey,
there's certain players where they're the enforcer.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
How about you just switched the rules up with the
they've always talked about maybe a four point shot or
something like that. Like, I mean, I don't want to
change the game around too much, But if we're really
going to speculate on what could increase the ratings, fighting
just it's funny. It's a funny answer. It would work,
but it'll never happen, right, I mean, but what what if?

Speaker 1 (57:46):
What if they lessened up on the fines or you
know what, what if see because now everything's a foul
so a little more lenient.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Well, I'll think about maybe why aside from generational habits, right,
people don't like the whole load management, not necessarily behavior,
but yeah, they just don't like it.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
I don't think. I think erupts people the wrong way.
So they're like, yes, Scooty's divas well, load management ain't
gonna get better if guys are swinging, you know, elbows
exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
So I think these are the things that need to
be looked into and you need to ask yourself, well,
wire ratings down and figure it out from there. But
I like where he's going. I like a good fight.
I'll watch anybody fight. That's why we tune into brawls.
I'll watch any anytime a fight breaks out in any sport.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
I'm down to watch. I mean, I mean, I did
give the low hanging answer, but I do think, like
when I think what do guys like? They like go
look at women and they like fighting. So it's like,
you know, you would think that's why that was Vince
McMahon's thinking. You're right when he started the XFL is
like what do you have? What do people like?

Speaker 2 (58:52):
But maybe just like like legalize one thing like clothes
lines or something like one sort of wrestling move.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Like just one if you close line someone, If you
close line someone going up to the asking your fine,
if you can close line him, you're good. All right,
let's do this. I got a Solar Power parlay and
a teaser bet. Let's go.

Speaker 5 (59:11):
It's time to parlay into your weekend. Rich Davis loves parlay.
You're making money, and he loves his new solar panels
Solar war my Solar Power parlay. Oh right, lose, you're
making money money and he loves cheeks.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Carry on. Continue. So here's what I got. I got
a parlay that I think you're gonna love, and I
have a teaser bet you might love even more. Here's
here's the the parlay. We've done it consistently. Three teams
money line. We're not worried about point spreads, so we
take teams that are less than a touchdown favorite, because

(59:48):
otherwise your money line would be not worth it. I
got tonight Eagles money line beating the Commanders. Now I
hate this because I'm rooting for the Commanders, but I
got can't bet with your heart, you gotta bet with
your head. So I got Eagles money line at home.
I really love this. Ravens at home. I'm sorry Ravens

(01:00:08):
at Pittsburgh because I think, even though they're on the road,
like Ravens are a better team. So I like Eagles
Ravens and they're like a five point four and a
half point favorite, so it's a it's a big money line.
But I like green Bay at Chicago. So green Bay
the Packers, the Ravens, Eagles one hundred paced two twenty.
And my teaser bet two teams that are favored by

(01:00:30):
six just making a pick them, and that's Niners hosting
the Seahawks and the Vikings playing the type. So I
like Niners Vikings in a teaser bet and I love it,
so lock that in Ta Da.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Thank you DraftKings coach Ciarsha, All right, enjoy the games
tonight and we'll get you ready for the fights tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
I go to even doubt you, baby, so you promised
Land
