we said, Thursdays the New Friday Weekend begins today.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're going to throw it back like we always do
old school.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
In fifty hits, we have an old school discussion about
Joey Flacco. We got a story about buzz kills, a
question and a theory about buzz kills in life, the
negative nor BeRTOS, the people that sucked the energy out
of the room, and it involves Russell Wilson, and we
(01:38):
have to say yeah. And we have to say rest
in peace to Bob Ucher. Dan Meyer already said it
passed away at the age of ninety, which is a
win in life. Ninety nice run, great career. But you
could sum up Bob Uker with the five ms. What
are those five ms?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Five ms? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Five?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And can I try to guess some of these? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Major League ding, mister Belvidere Ding, Okay, okay to mister Beldere,
mister baseball three this is nickname, mister Belvidere, mister baseball,
major League Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Braves. Maybe six ms. Yeah,
(02:27):
I'm not going to know the fifth? What am I Brews?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Uh? Oh wait, Miller.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Lite, Hey, that was a rehearse. You got them all,
my man.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And if you say Milwaukee Braves Milwaukee Brewers, that's six ms.
So this lily had Thank you, Alice Cooper. But Bob
Buker is just one of those guys who had a
really interesting career because his personality was bigger than his
(03:03):
I guess baseball skill, right, He was all personality. Look,
here's the story. He was drafted in nineteen fifty six
by the Milwaukee Braves. I'm sorry, Mediawaukee Braves, right, nineteen
thirty six. He played from sixty two to sixty seven.
He was a catcher from sixty two to sixty seven,
but again, all personality. He was an all personality kind
(03:24):
of guy, clubhouse kind of guy. He only hit fourteen
career home runs against US, fourteen more than we all hit.
But I'm saying in the grand scheme of things, he
batted two hundred and then got into the booth in
nineteen seventy, never looked back. And again a personality who
just really made a career of himself of being that
(03:44):
guy commercials, mister Beldere movies, and people forgot that he
was actually in the major leagues. You know that he
really was an athlete. Harry Doyle, Harry Doyle from Major League,
The real Deal, Bob Yer, mister Baseball has passed away.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I loved him on mister Belvidere. Some people don't even
remember what that show is, you little twits. I love
mister Belvidere. We all love Major League Harry Doyle. I mean,
would a commercials Would you argue that one of his
calls in Major League might be repeated more than any
other play by play call of all time?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Top of the sixth man, rookie Sensation, Ricky Vaughan on
the pitch.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Now you can close the book on Kelder. Oh thank god,
bon a juvenile delinquent in the off season and debut
in his first offering. Josh the bit outside. He tried the.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Corner in this I think Joe four a bit outside,
tried the corner and miss. It might be the most
quoted sports call in movie history. You're playing little league,
you're playing high school baseball, college, it could be a
big league game. And some guy throws an errant pitch
way outside. Just a bit outside is legendary. I'm not
(05:03):
saying by any means I'm special for recognizing that this
guy was unique. But when I realized, wait, the guy
from Mister Belvedere, Harry Doyle from Major League.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
He was in actual Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I found that so intriguing because it was so rare
and few and far between when you saw that much
personality out of sports. That I sought out his rookie
card as a kid, it was hard to find. It's
not like there was crazy value to it. You had
to find a sixty three tops Bob you grab. I
remember buying it. I still have it till this day.
You could see it on my IG. And you know,
(05:38):
he's just one of those dudes that I would compare
to loosely and respectfully to a John Madden type for
what John Madden was.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
For football in a lesser way.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I don't say that disrespectfully in any way, but
Bob Bucher's no John Madden. He was in that company
of insanely colorful when you wants old school WWF clips
with the Andrea Giant, when you watched those Miller like commercials.
By the way, when Andre the Giants choking him. That
clip is going viral today. Of course I remember that
(06:10):
I was a kid. It's hilarious, and I don't know
if you realize this if you're a wrestling fan. He
was a ring announcer for arguably the biggest wrestling match
of the eighties, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
He's Andre the Giant. He was funny as hell. He
grabs the mic.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It wasn't Howard Finkel who introduced Hogan and Andre.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
He's also known for the mic. Add seven ms to that.
The mic. The mic.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So when you think of Bob Yuker, you know Comino.
I'm not going to disagree MC. There is a parallel
that I can't quite put my finger on. But John
Madden is a They both did those Miller like commercials.
It's it's also a The only difference might be that
Madden had genuine success as a player or coach in
the game. But besides that, you know, football is more
of a national sport. We're watching the same games you
(06:56):
could day in and day out for the Brewers, so
it's different there. But where their personality trumped everything else
they did.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Their personality really paved a way for the rest of
their careers.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And he had a great one. Props to him, Bob Buker.
Now here's the other side to the story. Depending on
who you're talking to, right, we work here at Fox
Sports Radio, you have all walks of life. It's the
best place to be, one of the best places we've
ever worked at. But you got guys like Mike who
runs this place. Mike's like eighty seven years old, right,
And then you got Mike who runs this place. And
(07:30):
then you got Mary Mack, who's hell, well is she
twenty one? She don't know Bob Buker from anyone. She's like, who, right, And.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Then you have to explain it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
There's guys like guys who are right there in that
pocket in the middle. I'm fluent and old guy, and
I you know, I got my ear to the screets.
I could speak we Neil a little bit. You have
to now explain to younger people who these people are.
You got to tell him, Hey, Bob Bucker was a
unique dude. He played baseball, but he was known for
the TV. He was on TV. He did this and that.
(08:00):
He was a broadcaster for all those years since the seventies.
Like wow, yeah, they called the mister Baseball because he
lived for baseball. Pretty amazing. And he was on TV. Yeah,
he was on TV and commercials everything. So it's our
job to keep those legends alive, those names alive. And
I think there's one answer on the board that is
the number one answer for all of us to keep
(08:23):
the legend alive. There's one guy out there and yet
he's spoken of. Yeah, people talk about him, but man,
if you didn't live it, you'll never know. And it's
our responsibility to pass on the legend. At the count
of three, can we all say who we think I'm
talking about? Okay, in the count of three, Okay, who's legend?
(08:44):
Is it our responsibility to keep alive? Because today we
have to explain who Bob Uker is to a lot
of for honor and acknowledge Uker. But who's that legend?
He's still alive, I'll give you that hint. Okay, he's
still alive. But who's the legend that we need to
keep alive? On account of three one two three? Weird
(09:08):
weird weird a.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Good answer, though I know weird Ow has crazy loevity.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He's not that old dude weird out longevity though, is absurd.
But but jokingly, but not say weird out, because if
you see all these young kids on TikTok and Instagram
making their own little parodies and videos, is a good answer,
who is the original guy doing all that weird weird out?
But Covino's right, Bo Jackson is the number one answer
(09:34):
because and and I've heard people say this, he never
won an MVP or championship. So a lot of things
that would bring you back to a name in the
past are always like, oh there were a three time
MVP or a Super Bowl champion or a World Series
champion on people. You don't need to keep it alive
because it's always going to be alive. A Lah Michael Jordan,
(09:55):
every kid, every nose picking kid. Right now, there's three
year olds right now wearing Jordan's and and they recognize
the logo it's our job to be like, yo, Bo
Jackson never won. But let me tell you a kid.
In fact, there's a very viral clip from back in
the day. It's a little older now, but Bo Jackson
was at White Sox training camp. Do you guys remember
I think it was like Adam Laroche's kid or.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He was there picking his nose and he's like, who
are you, Saray, Like I'm Bo Jackson, and he's explaining
like how great he was.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now he played football, and it's little kid is in baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, he's like, wait, you played baseball and football, yep,
and I was great at both.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And he's telling his kid who he is.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's basically our job to do moving forward and today,
like I said, today we tell the younglings, the young ins,
the ween eels who Bob Yucker was because he was
very unique in his path, especially if you're a kid
of the eighties and you watched Mister Belvidere.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Dude, I love that show, and you watched.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The Major League movies and you just know his significance
as mister baseball the commercials Kavino, Right, it's our job to, hey,
pull us on your niece or nep for you or
your kid or then you know the young youngster at
work and just say, you know, Bob, you let me
tell you about Bob Bucker. And I think Bo Jackson's
a good example. And I do think we're all is
(11:12):
a good example. I do think you know what. I
know you say that as a joke. I think that's
a really great example because they're like, wait, he sort
of cornered the market on that. Can you name me
another parody?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Guy? That's his famous even like anywhere in the.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Ballpark to weird Alt the corner of the market. You
know who, I say, see this is the late seventies,
early eighties. You know who I think is going to
get this reputation in the next twenty years. Who're we're
radio people, right, I mean, I think there's going to
come a point where youngsters won't know the influence of
(11:52):
Howard Stern backeting.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I'm already seeing it, yeah, right, Like you.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Know, podcasting is, podcasting is bigger than ever. You got
the comedy category with the Theo Vonn's and the Cigars
and Bert Kreischer's and you know, Joe Rogan call her Daddy,
and then in the sports world, I'll put on I like,
I love our show, Yeah, Cavino and Rich, the world famous,
Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Barstool. You know, big cat broadcasting
(12:20):
such a big thing now. More than a difference between
our type of show is we're a live radio show
that you could still get on podcast, right. I think
you know we're broadcasters who also do a podcast that's different.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Agreed. I just think that you're right about that, though, Rich,
they won't know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Because of the influence of all these podcasters now and
it's almost very niche. It's like, hey, do you want sports?
Do you want a comedian doing a podcast? And it's oh,
it's like for an hour a week or maybe two
forty minute episodes. If you ask a younger kid who's
the king of all media, there's a good chance they'll
say Joe Rogan. You're like, no, Howard sterny dummy, Well
not anymore, I know. But when you were like, who wait,
(12:57):
the guy that has the long hair curly.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How many do you guys know offhand? How many years
it's been now since he changed his politics?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh? Man, Yeah, I mean things flipped. It's been a good.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Ooh man, five six years, probably because we worked at
Sirius XM with him. We're still part of Serius XM
now and a lot of us, a lot of you
could hear us three. He still has his fans, and
he still makes hundreds of millions of dollars. But the
youngsters don't don't know, they don't know, they don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
A lot of his fans stay his fans because they
feel in debt to him for what he did before.
Because I see his fan page almost every day and
there's complaining on there about almost every show that he does.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Now oh yeah, but his diehards will carry it.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well, and the people the comments underneath always say, well
why are you still subscribing? Because I'm hoping he's going
to go back to the old Howard. So there's people
still holding on.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
So today we're honoring Bob Uker keeping his legend alive,
especially as a broadcaster, announcer, all the things he did, right,
but in your own life, Fox Sports Radio Nation. Before
we get into the other meat, give us a call
in the world famous Coveno on Red Show at eighty
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Who do you find yourself?
(14:13):
Keeping alive? Who's legend? Anyone else? I got two like
rich you got a four year old son and a
seven year old daughter. There's got to be a guy
or something like do you tell him about Andre the Giant?
They're like, no, wait, dad, I've showed my kids. No,
I've showed my kids like Hulk Cogan, Macho man, Andre
the Giant. I said he had twenty two inch python,
(14:34):
twenty four inch PI twenty right, I'm sorry, twenty four
inch pythons. No wait, dad, if you're a kid like
I said, depends on what generation seventies, eighties, nineties. I'm
a kid of the eighties. You know, I grew up
in the eighties and nineties. If you're forties, you're the same,
you know, eighties nineties. I'm a little older than you.
Rich So I remember Hogan when he had the twenty
two inch pythons. They got bigger afo the steroids. Two
(14:56):
people that come to mind from me. When everyone's daughter
and so maybe are obsessed with Taylor Swift and she's
making billions of dollars and she's the biggest global star
in the world. I almost feel like you need to
remind youngsters that you know, there was once a Madonna
(15:16):
and Michael Jackson. You might think of this guy as
the creepy wait, the creepy guy with the glove, by
the way, that's that would have been my answer, because
I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with
my daughter, who's fifteen, right, trying to explain. Imagine Billie Eilish,
Imagine Justin Bieber, Imagine all your favorite bands combined, all
(15:38):
your Beyonces of the world combine them.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Still not bigger.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You're Taylor Swift to Horner too, Still not bigger than
what Michael Jackson meant to the eighties. Tell no way, Dad, Really,
Taylor Swift is the closest thing, and I think it's level.
He doesn't think so, but but I mean, I think
Taylor Swift is not shutting down the Chiefs game. Michael
Jackson couldn't even go to a Lakers game. Swift goes
around the world, and every country on planet Earth there's
(16:04):
people in parking lots trying to get in.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
She's that level.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
She doesn't live in a world of mystique and celebrity
that Michael Jackson existed, and so if he made a
public appearance, it's almost like the world shutdown because he
was so internationally famous. But anyway, she affected the ratings
of the biggest sport already on planet Earth in the
United States. I'm not downplaying her popularity. I'm just saying
I don't think Michael Michael Jackson's Jackson's and again, his
(16:31):
legend precedes himself. But kids won't really understand, so you
have to try to explain.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I have two athletes that both my sons have asked
me about because they've seen clips online.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Jerry Rice Good Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Dad, what made him so fast. It's like I don't know,
yeah for a quick first step or something.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I don't And dB will feel me on this one
because our daughter, who's just turned fourteen, she was asking
because she saw the highlight of his son hitting.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The hole in one Tiger Woods.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
She has no idea what Tiger Woods was us to
us when we were kids.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's the unfortunate side of the controversy he found himself
in because when the when the books are written, some
kids might only know like, yeah, didn't he like cheat
on his wife or something?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But yeah, but before that, he was a legend. I'll
tell you when you're saying Dan Bierth that you're gonna
say Steve Largin.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Then when he was narrowing it down, I'm like, wait
a second, there can't be too many. I knew it
was going to be Bosworth, not from Danny g that's
for sure. I'll tell you one that that I try
to and it's more of a franchise. But as you
guys mentioned earlier, mister Belvedere, just the Brady Bunch Show
as it is is one that my three year old
now asks to watch, and I feel there's something about
(17:47):
that that specific sitcom that has transcended so many other thing.
I think a lot of other shows have gone by
the wayside we don't necessarily care about anymore. But I
think our generation, even though wasn't my generation when that
show was on, I wasn't even born when that show
was on, still being able to carry it. We watched
an episode last night. It's yeah, absolutely, it's soothing. Yeah,
(18:14):
so that's where I go.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I love that answer because there's so much explaining involved
in us. You'll show your kid like Brady Bunch like, yeah,
but let me explain. Like Dan said, it wasn't on
when I was a kid. They just played reruns.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And it didn't really air that long. But we loved it.
But it relate to it really. But it's just greats
of kids love this show.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It was a blended family, which really wasn't talked about
much back then. And you know that they were all
living together and and oh and they had Alice. Yeah,
and you know what, Dan, this is crazy and the Butcher.
Have you thought about taking your little kid to see
the actual house because it's like a stone throw away.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yes, yeah, it's not in there, not that have you
been inside. No, I've seen you sit in Studio City. Yeah,
it's read by my chiropractice.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It was when Sam was dating Jam Yes, right, Sam
was cousin Oliver.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Like that answer because it's it's just no one really
understands if they're younger, how we even consume that show
because they're like, they look at you, like, how old
are you?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How did you even watch this?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One of the things I know, one of the things
I know I suck at is acknowledging old timey time
stuff because it doesn't register with my eyes. Old black
and white movies are very hard for me to watch.
And someone pointed something out to me once and I
feel like I need to do it to a younger generation.
I pictured Marlon Brando. He's like fat, old Marlon Brando. No,
(19:50):
but you don't understand. I remember someone being like Marlon
Brando was a hunk, and I'm like, wait what the
fat guy? Wait the old Then I watched Street Card
Name Desire in like a film class, and I'm like
that stud turned into yeah, now I did not give
this guy enough credit. And because he got hit with
disease and because he's not what we remember, I think
(20:13):
it's our responsibility to tell our kids the coolest dude
on planet Earth in the eighties was Michael J.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Fox. I love that answer too. I think that's a
great answer.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I mean, he's still cool and he's still fighting a
cause for Parkinson's and everything. But no kid will ever
realize that there was a moment in time where Michael J.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Fox, Well, you know why.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Rich because he was one of the few that were
able to cross over to TV start a movie star.
I was doing Family, Hollywood, Back to the Future. There
was a moment in time where Michael J. Fox was
the definition of like cool. Some legends live on their own.
Some you really need to explain. And today, like we said,
Bob Buker passed away, it's our job to explain why
(20:56):
he was significant to a younger generation.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Can I tell you what? I'm shocked that we don't
who else comes to mind for you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm shocked that we live in a world where I
don't know about you. My social media feeds, as I joke,
other than butt cheeks filled with sports in comedy usually right,
I'm seeing a million clips o Matt Rife, you know
two bears.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I'm seeing all the same clips you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Theovonne you know Cheetos, Santino and Bobby Lee.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We see all this comedy out there. He gave Theovon
two shout outs today? How many shoutouts he given you?
I like Theovon.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I like Theovon too, But he's shouting me out the
world famous Covino and rich show.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well, maybe he will know, Maybe he will.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
For all the comedy we consume now, guys like Richard
Pryor and George Carlin, someone needs to be cutting up
their clips and putting those on Instagram or TikTok, because
those are guys that sort of paved the way for
these comics. They were towing the line and being edgy.
So to me, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, if you
(21:54):
got a kid that's into comedy, you might need to
school them on them and say, listen, sometimes comedy dies
if if you don't show people the specials in the videos.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Hey, can I seamelessly promote something? Then? Speaking of those two,
what are you working on outside of this? What are
you a big shot or something?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I already did it on the History Channel wherever you
stream the History Channel.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I was part of a series.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
One of the main contributors on a series called The
Icons That Built America. Derek Cheeter produced it, and there
was an episode where so Beathly wants to be called
into a meeting in Jeters. Oh, I can't wait. There
was an episode called Kings of Comedy that I was
featured in and I talked about Richard Pryor and George Carlin.
(22:37):
It's called Kings of Comedy, Episode six, Icons That Built
America on the History Channel. Check it out wherever you
stream the History Channel on demand. But again, I do
think it's our responsibility. Our parents generation did it to us.
It's our job now to do it to younger generation.
These kids arena like, well, why was Bob Buker significant? Well,
(23:00):
let me explain.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You know what we got to do. We got to
take all the feedback. The phones are all lit. So
eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox in honor of
the late great Bob Youuker.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The guy was a weak shy of hitting ninety one.
What a life, mister baseball, mister.

Weekend the greatest weekend of NFL football all year. Let's
not forget we got we got a college football championship

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
My brother in law, Chris, who is a hardcore Ohio

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So well, you gotta think this weekend's a three day
weekend football stiffy, so because you got wild Card Saturday,
Sunday and then of course College Football Championship. Want to
get to the phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox at Covino and Rich on social media
at Fox Sports Radio. Bob Buker passed away. He's known
(26:26):
for the seven ms. Some of the young people are like, yeah,
the broadcaster guy, like yeah, he was a great broadcaster,
but he did this this that Miller, like mister Belvidere,
mister baseball Milwaukee Braves.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Guy did it all? Major League? Major League.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Some legends require an explanation. Everybody knows that Michael J.
Fox was an icon of the eighties. But what requires
the explanation When your kid sees back to the future,
he pause it and you explain this dude was probably
the most likely do the eighties.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was a TV star.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
And a movie star at the same time, and at
that time that was unheard of really on that level.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Now we see it all the time, but it was rare.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It was rare that the fact that he was on
Family Ties, which at the time was one of the
top shows on network television, and he was starring in movies.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Right back then, it was you were one of the other.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
One or the other. Bo Jackson. Yeah, maybe your kid's
heard of him. But what they don't realize. Pause you
see that run Bosworth. Pause. What you don't know knows
picking kid, is that he was the best baseball player
at the same time he was the best football player.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, it's like he didn't dabble.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
He didn't dabble. I'm gonna add one more. I know
Danny g has a few examples. Again, because it's our job.
It's our job. To keep these stories alive. I'll aah,
Bob Youucker's style, right, that's what he did. So whose
legacy are you keeping alive? I feel sometimes, as we're
getting a little wiser, not older, that when I've grown grown,
here you go. When I speak to someone who's a
(28:05):
little younger to me, I'm like, yeah, Dave Winfield, Yeah,
heard of them?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Like that, heard of them day? Winfield is drafted in
every major sport. Heard of them? Like, I feel like
that requires a little explanation. You know, who do you got?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
This one will be close to home for you guys,
especially because of where you grew up. There would be
no hip hop format. Without them, there would be no
Aerosmith as we know them today. Run DMC.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, people probably take it for granted.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah, there's there's an amazing docusaries on Peacock right now
called Kings from Queens.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh I saw it? Yeah, Oh so good? Great? It
was great. Yeah. They changed the face of music. They
really did. Yeah, you know what, young kid, Younger people
don't even realize that it's a music genre that started
in our lifetime. Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Normal to them to have all those channels and options.
You have no idea that you weren't able to see
that on MTV and Michael Jackson and run DMC and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Again, these things are also passed down to us, but
it's our job to pass down. Like I didn't realize
until a certain point in life. I was like, wait,
you mean reggae really didn't exist and on a mainstream
level until like the Whalers and those guys were starting
to do it, Like you just assume that it was
always around, Like no, that sound and that music genre started,
Like you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Know those things. And to.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Antoli Kavino's saying, there are people that need know backup,
we know who Michael Jordan is. You don't need to
tell kids about certain athletes and stars. You don't need
to explain Nirvana.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
They get it.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
You know, kids know who Michael Jackson is, but they
don't realize how big the Thriller video are. There's artists
athletes that, for some circumstance, you do need to keep
their legacy alive by just refreshing with your kids. Like
I said, your niece's nephews, I have a bunch of
a bunch. I don't want to take anyone's answer, So
(29:58):
let's go through the phones crossfire.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Let's start with Eric Ohio Cavino and Rich what's up man?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Hey, We've got to remember Howard Costell. I was a
kid in the seventies. You remember Howard Cossel.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Dude, I just I immediately think of his relationship with
Muhammad Ali and how many famous clips they have together,
for sure, and I would say it would be your
job to tell us right now how impactful he was.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Well, the importance was like I'm a kid in the
seventies and I'm watching Sunday Night football, Monday night football,
and this was the stat guy. This was the guy
that knew how many first downs, this guy had thrown,
how many touchdowns he had thrown. None of this stuff
was on computer back then. Howard Cosell knew all the stats.
(30:50):
He knew everything by heart. And he brought that to
us on TV when you had somebody famous there that
played the football. There beside of it that Howard Cosell
knew all the stats.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Speaking of announcers, I will go back to a guy
we already mentioned, but what John Madden brought as far
as color commentating, like just the silly stuff like hey,
look at the birds on the stadium or like just
a funny filler perspective paved the way for others to say, well,
that's an interesting way to be the number two in
the booth.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
What I think is interesting as well, and some because
I said, Brady Bunch of this Color says Howard Cosell.
Howard Cosell was was about the time, but he wasn't
like I was really young and didn't necessarily understand. It's
there's our generation of what we know, but then there's
also our duty to take the stuff that the previous
generation tried to continue to carry on, which I would
(31:45):
say is something like Howard Cosell to continue to do it.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
To me, I think Monday Night Football. I think Al,
Frank and Dan. That was my combo. I guess when
people talk about Oh Bucket Aikman are good, I'm like dad,
But you know what my childhood, I think of Al
and Frank and Dan.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
They're gonna get this party started.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Monday Night Football and Frank Gifford would set the scene,
but Al Michaels would do the play by play.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And I was never a huge Deerdorf guy.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I always sid no you no guy, and a Deerdorf guy,
I know, all right, let's go to dug and boys,
we'll take all your phocals, but one more for now.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Dog, what's up, Dougie doug Hey, guys.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Gonna set the scene for you. I grew up in
the seventies, single mom. She had two jobs. Sometimes she
couldn't get a babysitter for her night job. So my
sister and I would sit in the corner booth of
a honky tonk bar listening to seventies country music. And
we got to keep that stuff alive. Merle Haggar, Tom
t Hall, Charlie Pride, those storytellers with their ballads.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Some of the some of those older artists. For sure,
I wrote down let me go through my quick We'll
go right to dB. Thank you, Bud. In the world
of our our world broadcasting every year on New Year's Eve,
I'm glad that Ryan Seacrest keeps Dick Clark's New Year's
Rockety because Dick Clark was such an innovator in broadcasting,
hosting everything what he meant to music and hosting and TV.
(33:06):
Dick Clark absolutely, Oh that's a great one. I wish
somebody would carry the torch for Casey Kays like that man.
You know they Seacrest does a countdown, Spider Harrison does,
but you're Casey Cason was a that's a great as. Honestly,
his voice was probably so you replaced, trumental and influential
on us, even getting into radio. How captivating was his
voice When he was a kid and you heard him
(33:27):
doing a countdown, You're.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Like, we're reading a letter from somebody.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
You're like, this dude, whoever's on the other side of
the microphone is magical.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I heard him for the first time I found out
about it. I'm from Sable. The Bell.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, I remember that he was on the Zach Attack.
I remember that, but you know he just listening to him,
it really was like, Wow, the radios, it's it's an
amazing medium. You know, we got so many more. Let's
go to Dan buy for an update and stay on
the whole stay on the phones.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
We gotcha. I'm glad.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
I'm glad you went to me because I've been here
longer than all of you guys. And I remember when
Casey Caseum would still do his countdown show in these studios.
In that studio over there, I see some get coffee.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, sad, they've saved his sign that's still hanging on
the wall in the Passing studio.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
That is really cool. Yeah, you guys about that. Yeah,
that's a great piece of piece of history. All right.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Buker passing away today
at the age of ninety. So many places that you
know Yuker, maybe the least of which was that he
was the voice of the Brewers for it almost the
entire existence of the franchise. But lost a great one
today in Bob Buker. Now, let's move on to the
National Football League with the Cowboys requested permission to speak
with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore about their head coaching vacancy. More,
(34:39):
a former Cowboys assistant and player, Jets interviewed Arthur Smith
and Bobby Slowak for their head coaching vacancy. While Texan's
running back Joe Mixon didn't practice today because of an
ankle injury, he's listed as questionable for Saturday's game against
the Chiefs as our linebacker as He's Al Shire and
wide receiver Robert Woods for Houston lines running back David
Montgomery and Commanders linebacker Bobby way Wagner off the injury report.
(35:01):
Both will play Saturday night in Detroit. Ravens Wide receivers
A Flowers miss practice again today because of his knee
injury and a golf note to pass along. The twenty
twenty five Genesis Invitational will not be played at Riviera
Country Club next month in the Pacific Palisades because of
the wildfires in southern California and those that have hit
that community. The PGA Tour will hold the event February
(35:22):
tenth through the sixteenth at an alternate location. Guys, back
to you, so din Byer, let me get this straight.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
One day they're going to look back and say these
studios were used by Casey, Kasem, Rush Limbaugh and Covino
on Rich.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yes, that's true, and that's true.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Wow, and Steve Harvey, right, and Steve Harvey, Steve.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Harvey, don't forget Jay Moore and his dogs and j
Moore's dogs.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Hey, we got more Cavino on Rich your answers, and
we'll pay a little more tribute to Bob Yucker plus
a lot of NFL coming up right here on Fox
Sports Radio. All right, welcome back to the show, Covino
and Rich, the world famous Cavino and rich Liveromati rack
dot Com Studio. We got old school win fifty hits
in just the moment. But I do want to remind
(36:06):
you that whatever we don't get to today will be
on over Promise. The brand new episode premieres right after
the show four pm on Fox, four pm on the
West Side, seven pm on the East Side on Fox
Sports Radio's YouTube page. Over promised with Covino and rich
oar bonus show Well, in honor of the late great
Bob Yucker, just a bit outside try the corner.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Miss.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
What other legends do we need to keep their legacy alive?
The people that just sort of requires extra explanation. Yeah,
like you said, Bo Jackson because he never won anything,
But it's hard to explain to a kid like No,
he was the best at baseball football at the same time,
let me just throw two more at you. We'll take
the phone calls when we got to hit fifty. Jim Brown,
I'm a Syracuse guy. No one south of thirty years
(36:53):
old understands that Jim Brown what he would have been
if the NFL was, you know, bigger at the time.
He also was like the greatest lacrosse player of all time.
They say, Jim Brown could have played any sport on
Earth and succeeded.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
And ended his career early, like Barry Sanders to go
to movies. How about Johnny Carson? Late night TV doesn't
mean much anymore, and it's all these Jimmy's Kimmel fall
And no one realizes that when our parents were younger
and they were growing up, the Tonight Show was the
biggest deal in the world. To get on the Tonight Show.
It made comedians and actors' lives. To be called over
to the desk by Johnny, that was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Kids will never realize that he was such a mammoth
and Big Mike who runs his place? Who Mike said,
we used the term all the time when you mcguy
or something on the kids might not even realize that
was like a fun eighties TV show, yet we still
use it as a word mcgiver.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Kids will never understand what he could do with a rubber.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Band and a and a paper clud. And when you
said Jim Brown, I thought of Jim Thorpe too. I
mean going even more old school. And that goes with
Dan Buyer's theory. You know, your grandpap he told you
about Jim Thorpe. It's your job to tell him about
Jim Brown and everybody else.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
So let's go. Who do we got. Jerry in Lancaster,
what's up, ja? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:09):
He yeah, I got one for you. He wasn't.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
One of the best.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Dick. Oh yeah, different Dick. I have that tattoo. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Rick in Washington day, Rocky Balboa named his dog as
like Bucers.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
What's up? Rick?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Hey, how's it going, guys? I love your boat?
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Your Bo Jackson reference. How I introduced my son to
Bo Jackson was through techmobile, you know, so couldn't be stopped.
And how good he was.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
That's how good he was. But another one i'm growing up,
I'm about the same age as you guys, is me
and my brother would go in the backyard and play football.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
He was always Don Smith and I was always Barry Sanders.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
You know, my kids are like, Dad, who's Barry Sanders.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'm like, oh, you got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
So to me, no other running back has ever juked
like you know, maybe Adrian Peterson, but yeah, is juked
like he has.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
So I introduced my kids to them, and I'm like
this is this is how you're you know, you're not
supposed to run a ball, but how you're supposed to run.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
A ball perfect. I love those examples. I will look
at the clock. Fifty has hit. Let's go old school.
Here's a certain ye. What we're gonna do is go

We're going to throw it back like we always do
old school.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
In fifty hits, we have an old school discussion about
Joey Flacco. We got a story about buzz kills, a
question and a theory about buzz kills in life, the
negative nor BeRTOS, the people that sucked the energy out
of the room, and it involves Russell Wilson, and we
(01:38):
have to say yeah. And we have to say rest
in peace to Bob Ucher. Dan Meyer already said it
passed away at the age of ninety, which is a
win in life. Ninety nice run, great career. But you
could sum up Bob Uker with the five ms. What
are those five ms?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Five ms? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Five?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And can I try to guess some of these? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Major League ding, mister Belvidere Ding, Okay, okay to mister Beldere,
mister baseball three this is nickname, mister Belvidere, mister baseball,
major League Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Braves. Maybe six ms. Yeah,
(02:27):
I'm not going to know the fifth? What am I Brews?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Uh? Oh wait, Miller.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Lite, Hey, that was a rehearse. You got them all,
my man.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And if you say Milwaukee Braves Milwaukee Brewers, that's six ms.
So this lily had Thank you, Alice Cooper. But Bob
Buker is just one of those guys who had a
really interesting career because his personality was bigger than his
(03:03):
I guess baseball skill, right, He was all personality. Look,
here's the story. He was drafted in nineteen fifty six
by the Milwaukee Braves. I'm sorry, Mediawaukee Braves, right, nineteen
thirty six. He played from sixty two to sixty seven.
He was a catcher from sixty two to sixty seven,
but again, all personality. He was an all personality kind
(03:24):
of guy, clubhouse kind of guy. He only hit fourteen
career home runs against US, fourteen more than we all hit.
But I'm saying in the grand scheme of things, he
batted two hundred and then got into the booth in
nineteen seventy, never looked back. And again a personality who
just really made a career of himself of being that
(03:44):
guy commercials, mister Beldere movies, and people forgot that he
was actually in the major leagues. You know that he
really was an athlete. Harry Doyle, Harry Doyle from Major League,
The real Deal, Bob Yer, mister Baseball has passed away.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I loved him on mister Belvidere. Some people don't even
remember what that show is, you little twits. I love
mister Belvidere. We all love Major League Harry Doyle. I mean,
would a commercials Would you argue that one of his
calls in Major League might be repeated more than any
other play by play call of all time?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Top of the sixth man, rookie Sensation, Ricky Vaughan on
the pitch.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Now you can close the book on Kelder. Oh thank god,
bon a juvenile delinquent in the off season and debut
in his first offering. Josh the bit outside. He tried the.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Corner in this I think Joe four a bit outside,
tried the corner and miss. It might be the most
quoted sports call in movie history. You're playing little league,
you're playing high school baseball, college, it could be a
big league game. And some guy throws an errant pitch
way outside. Just a bit outside is legendary. I'm not
(05:03):
saying by any means I'm special for recognizing that this
guy was unique. But when I realized, wait, the guy
from Mister Belvedere, Harry Doyle from Major League.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
He was in actual Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I found that so intriguing because it was so rare
and few and far between when you saw that much
personality out of sports. That I sought out his rookie
card as a kid, it was hard to find. It's
not like there was crazy value to it. You had
to find a sixty three tops Bob you grab. I
remember buying it. I still have it till this day.
You could see it on my IG. And you know,
(05:38):
he's just one of those dudes that I would compare
to loosely and respectfully to a John Madden type for
what John Madden was.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
For football in a lesser way.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I don't say that disrespectfully in any way, but
Bob Bucher's no John Madden. He was in that company
of insanely colorful when you wants old school WWF clips
with the Andrea Giant, when you watched those Miller like commercials.
By the way, when Andre the Giants choking him. That
clip is going viral today. Of course I remember that
(06:10):
I was a kid. It's hilarious, and I don't know
if you realize this if you're a wrestling fan. He
was a ring announcer for arguably the biggest wrestling match
of the eighties, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
He's Andre the Giant. He was funny as hell. He
grabs the mic.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It wasn't Howard Finkel who introduced Hogan and Andre.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
He's also known for the mic. Add seven ms to that.
The mic. The mic.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So when you think of Bob Yuker, you know Comino.
I'm not going to disagree MC. There is a parallel
that I can't quite put my finger on. But John
Madden is a They both did those Miller like commercials.
It's it's also a The only difference might be that
Madden had genuine success as a player or coach in
the game. But besides that, you know, football is more
of a national sport. We're watching the same games you
(06:56):
could day in and day out for the Brewers, so
it's different there. But where their personality trumped everything else
they did.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Their personality really paved a way for the rest of
their careers.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And he had a great one. Props to him, Bob Buker.
Now here's the other side to the story. Depending on
who you're talking to, right, we work here at Fox
Sports Radio, you have all walks of life. It's the
best place to be, one of the best places we've
ever worked at. But you got guys like Mike who
runs this place. Mike's like eighty seven years old, right,
And then you got Mike who runs this place. And
(07:30):
then you got Mary Mack, who's hell, well is she
twenty one? She don't know Bob Buker from anyone. She's like, who, right, And.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Then you have to explain it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
There's guys like guys who are right there in that
pocket in the middle. I'm fluent and old guy, and
I you know, I got my ear to the screets.
I could speak we Neil a little bit. You have
to now explain to younger people who these people are.
You got to tell him, Hey, Bob Bucker was a
unique dude. He played baseball, but he was known for
the TV. He was on TV. He did this and that.
(08:00):
He was a broadcaster for all those years since the seventies.
Like wow, yeah, they called the mister Baseball because he
lived for baseball. Pretty amazing. And he was on TV. Yeah,
he was on TV and commercials everything. So it's our
job to keep those legends alive, those names alive. And
I think there's one answer on the board that is
the number one answer for all of us to keep
(08:23):
the legend alive. There's one guy out there and yet
he's spoken of. Yeah, people talk about him, but man,
if you didn't live it, you'll never know. And it's
our responsibility to pass on the legend. At the count
of three, can we all say who we think I'm
talking about? Okay, in the count of three, Okay, who's legend?
(08:44):
Is it our responsibility to keep alive? Because today we
have to explain who Bob Uker is to a lot
of for honor and acknowledge Uker. But who's that legend?
He's still alive, I'll give you that hint. Okay, he's
still alive. But who's the legend that we need to
keep alive? On account of three one two three? Weird
(09:08):
weird weird a.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Good answer, though I know weird Ow has crazy loevity.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He's not that old dude weird out longevity though, is absurd.
But but jokingly, but not say weird out, because if
you see all these young kids on TikTok and Instagram
making their own little parodies and videos, is a good answer,
who is the original guy doing all that weird weird out?
But Covino's right, Bo Jackson is the number one answer
(09:34):
because and and I've heard people say this, he never
won an MVP or championship. So a lot of things
that would bring you back to a name in the
past are always like, oh there were a three time
MVP or a Super Bowl champion or a World Series
champion on people. You don't need to keep it alive
because it's always going to be alive. A Lah Michael Jordan,
(09:55):
every kid, every nose picking kid. Right now, there's three
year olds right now wearing Jordan's and and they recognize
the logo it's our job to be like, yo, Bo
Jackson never won. But let me tell you a kid.
In fact, there's a very viral clip from back in
the day. It's a little older now, but Bo Jackson
was at White Sox training camp. Do you guys remember
I think it was like Adam Laroche's kid or.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
He was there picking his nose and he's like, who
are you, Saray, Like I'm Bo Jackson, and he's explaining
like how great he was.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now he played football, and it's little kid is in baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, he's like, wait, you played baseball and football, yep,
and I was great at both.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And he's telling his kid who he is.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's basically our job to do moving forward and today,
like I said, today we tell the younglings, the young ins,
the ween eels who Bob Yucker was because he was
very unique in his path, especially if you're a kid
of the eighties and you watched Mister Belvidere.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Dude, I love that show, and you watched.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The Major League movies and you just know his significance
as mister baseball the commercials Kavino, Right, it's our job to, hey,
pull us on your niece or nep for you or
your kid or then you know the young youngster at
work and just say, you know, Bob, you let me
tell you about Bob Bucker. And I think Bo Jackson's
a good example. And I do think we're all is
(11:12):
a good example. I do think you know what. I
know you say that as a joke. I think that's
a really great example because they're like, wait, he sort
of cornered the market on that. Can you name me
another parody?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Guy? That's his famous even like anywhere in the.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Ballpark to weird Alt the corner of the market. You
know who, I say, see this is the late seventies,
early eighties. You know who I think is going to
get this reputation in the next twenty years. Who're we're
radio people, right, I mean, I think there's going to
come a point where youngsters won't know the influence of
(11:52):
Howard Stern backeting.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I'm already seeing it, yeah, right, Like you.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Know, podcasting is, podcasting is bigger than ever. You got
the comedy category with the Theo Vonn's and the Cigars
and Bert Kreischer's and you know, Joe Rogan call her Daddy,
and then in the sports world, I'll put on I like,
I love our show, Yeah, Cavino and Rich, the world famous,
Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Barstool. You know, big cat broadcasting
(12:20):
such a big thing now. More than a difference between
our type of show is we're a live radio show
that you could still get on podcast, right. I think
you know we're broadcasters who also do a podcast that's different.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Agreed. I just think that you're right about that, though, Rich,
they won't know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Because of the influence of all these podcasters now and
it's almost very niche. It's like, hey, do you want sports?
Do you want a comedian doing a podcast? And it's oh,
it's like for an hour a week or maybe two
forty minute episodes. If you ask a younger kid who's
the king of all media, there's a good chance they'll
say Joe Rogan. You're like, no, Howard sterny dummy, Well
not anymore, I know. But when you were like, who wait,
(12:57):
the guy that has the long hair curly.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How many do you guys know offhand? How many years
it's been now since he changed his politics?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Oh? Man, Yeah, I mean things flipped. It's been a good.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Ooh man, five six years, probably because we worked at
Sirius XM with him. We're still part of Serius XM
now and a lot of us, a lot of you
could hear us three. He still has his fans, and
he still makes hundreds of millions of dollars. But the
youngsters don't don't know, they don't know, they don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
A lot of his fans stay his fans because they
feel in debt to him for what he did before.
Because I see his fan page almost every day and
there's complaining on there about almost every show that he does.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Now oh yeah, but his diehards will carry it.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well, and the people the comments underneath always say, well
why are you still subscribing? Because I'm hoping he's going
to go back to the old Howard. So there's people
still holding on.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
So today we're honoring Bob Uker keeping his legend alive,
especially as a broadcaster, announcer, all the things he did, right,
but in your own life, Fox Sports Radio Nation. Before
we get into the other meat, give us a call
in the world famous Coveno on Red Show at eighty
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Who do you find yourself?
(14:13):
Keeping alive? Who's legend? Anyone else? I got two like
rich you got a four year old son and a
seven year old daughter. There's got to be a guy
or something like do you tell him about Andre the Giant?
They're like, no, wait, dad, I've showed my kids. No,
I've showed my kids like Hulk Cogan, Macho man, Andre
the Giant. I said he had twenty two inch python,
(14:34):
twenty four inch PI twenty right, I'm sorry, twenty four
inch pythons. No wait, dad, if you're a kid like
I said, depends on what generation seventies, eighties, nineties. I'm
a kid of the eighties. You know, I grew up
in the eighties and nineties. If you're forties, you're the same,
you know, eighties nineties. I'm a little older than you.
Rich So I remember Hogan when he had the twenty
two inch pythons. They got bigger afo the steroids. Two
(14:56):
people that come to mind from me. When everyone's daughter
and so maybe are obsessed with Taylor Swift and she's
making billions of dollars and she's the biggest global star
in the world. I almost feel like you need to
remind youngsters that you know, there was once a Madonna
(15:16):
and Michael Jackson. You might think of this guy as
the creepy wait, the creepy guy with the glove, by
the way, that's that would have been my answer, because
I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with
my daughter, who's fifteen, right, trying to explain. Imagine Billie Eilish,
Imagine Justin Bieber, Imagine all your favorite bands combined, all
(15:38):
your Beyonces of the world combine them.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Still not bigger.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You're Taylor Swift to Horner too, Still not bigger than
what Michael Jackson meant to the eighties. Tell no way, Dad, Really,
Taylor Swift is the closest thing, and I think it's level.
He doesn't think so, but but I mean, I think
Taylor Swift is not shutting down the Chiefs game. Michael
Jackson couldn't even go to a Lakers game. Swift goes
around the world, and every country on planet Earth there's
(16:04):
people in parking lots trying to get in.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
She's that level.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
She doesn't live in a world of mystique and celebrity
that Michael Jackson existed, and so if he made a
public appearance, it's almost like the world shutdown because he
was so internationally famous. But anyway, she affected the ratings
of the biggest sport already on planet Earth in the
United States. I'm not downplaying her popularity. I'm just saying
I don't think Michael Michael Jackson's Jackson's and again, his
(16:31):
legend precedes himself. But kids won't really understand, so you
have to try to explain.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I have two athletes that both my sons have asked
me about because they've seen clips online.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Jerry Rice Good Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Dad, what made him so fast. It's like I don't know,
yeah for a quick first step or something.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I don't And dB will feel me on this one
because our daughter, who's just turned fourteen, she was asking
because she saw the highlight of his son hitting.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The hole in one Tiger Woods.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
She has no idea what Tiger Woods was us to
us when we were kids.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's the unfortunate side of the controversy he found himself
in because when the when the books are written, some
kids might only know like, yeah, didn't he like cheat
on his wife or something?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But yeah, but before that, he was a legend. I'll
tell you when you're saying Dan Bierth that you're gonna
say Steve Largin.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Then when he was narrowing it down, I'm like, wait
a second, there can't be too many. I knew it
was going to be Bosworth, not from Danny g that's
for sure. I'll tell you one that that I try
to and it's more of a franchise. But as you
guys mentioned earlier, mister Belvedere, just the Brady Bunch Show
as it is is one that my three year old
now asks to watch, and I feel there's something about
(17:47):
that that specific sitcom that has transcended so many other thing.
I think a lot of other shows have gone by
the wayside we don't necessarily care about anymore. But I
think our generation, even though wasn't my generation when that
show was on, I wasn't even born when that show
was on, still being able to carry it. We watched
an episode last night. It's yeah, absolutely, it's soothing. Yeah,
(18:14):
so that's where I go.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I love that answer because there's so much explaining involved
in us. You'll show your kid like Brady Bunch like, yeah,
but let me explain. Like Dan said, it wasn't on
when I was a kid. They just played reruns.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And it didn't really air that long. But we loved it.
But it relate to it really. But it's just greats
of kids love this show.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It was a blended family, which really wasn't talked about
much back then. And you know that they were all
living together and and oh and they had Alice. Yeah,
and you know what, Dan, this is crazy and the Butcher.
Have you thought about taking your little kid to see
the actual house because it's like a stone throw away.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yes, yeah, it's not in there, not that have you
been inside. No, I've seen you sit in Studio City. Yeah,
it's read by my chiropractice.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It was when Sam was dating Jam Yes, right, Sam
was cousin Oliver.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So anyway, I.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Like that answer because it's it's just no one really
understands if they're younger, how we even consume that show
because they're like, they look at you, like, how old
are you?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
How did you even watch this?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One of the things I know, one of the things
I know I suck at is acknowledging old timey time
stuff because it doesn't register with my eyes. Old black
and white movies are very hard for me to watch.
And someone pointed something out to me once and I
feel like I need to do it to a younger generation.
I pictured Marlon Brando. He's like fat, old Marlon Brando. No,
(19:50):
but you don't understand. I remember someone being like Marlon
Brando was a hunk, and I'm like, wait what the
fat guy? Wait the old Then I watched Street Card
Name Desire in like a film class, and I'm like
that stud turned into yeah, now I did not give
this guy enough credit. And because he got hit with
disease and because he's not what we remember, I think
(20:13):
it's our responsibility to tell our kids the coolest dude
on planet Earth in the eighties was Michael J.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Fox. I love that answer too. I think that's a
great answer.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I mean, he's still cool and he's still fighting a
cause for Parkinson's and everything. But no kid will ever
realize that there was a moment in time where Michael J.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Fox, Well, you know why.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Rich because he was one of the few that were
able to cross over to TV start a movie star.
I was doing Family, Hollywood, Back to the Future. There
was a moment in time where Michael J. Fox was
the definition of like cool. Some legends live on their own.
Some you really need to explain. And today, like we said,
Bob Buker passed away, it's our job to explain why
(20:56):
he was significant to a younger generation.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Can I tell you what? I'm shocked that we don't
who else comes to mind for you.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm shocked that we live in a world where I
don't know about you. My social media feeds, as I joke,
other than butt cheeks filled with sports in comedy usually right,
I'm seeing a million clips o Matt Rife, you know
two bears.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I'm seeing all the same clips you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Theovonne you know Cheetos, Santino and Bobby Lee.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
We see all this comedy out there. He gave Theovon
two shout outs today? How many shoutouts he given you?
I like Theovon.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I like Theovon too, But he's shouting me out the
world famous Covino and rich show.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Well, maybe he will know, Maybe he will.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
For all the comedy we consume now, guys like Richard
Pryor and George Carlin, someone needs to be cutting up
their clips and putting those on Instagram or TikTok, because
those are guys that sort of paved the way for
these comics. They were towing the line and being edgy.
So to me, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, if you
(21:54):
got a kid that's into comedy, you might need to
school them on them and say, listen, sometimes comedy dies
if if you don't show people the specials in the videos.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Hey, can I seamelessly promote something? Then? Speaking of those two,
what are you working on outside of this? What are
you a big shot or something?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I already did it on the History Channel wherever you
stream the History Channel.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I was part of a series.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
One of the main contributors on a series called The
Icons That Built America. Derek Cheeter produced it, and there
was an episode where so Beathly wants to be called
into a meeting in Jeters. Oh, I can't wait. There
was an episode called Kings of Comedy that I was
featured in and I talked about Richard Pryor and George Carlin.
(22:37):
It's called Kings of Comedy, Episode six, Icons That Built
America on the History Channel. Check it out wherever you
stream the History Channel on demand. But again, I do
think it's our responsibility. Our parents generation did it to us.
It's our job now to do it to younger generation.
These kids arena like, well, why was Bob Buker significant? Well,
(23:00):
let me explain.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
You know what we got to do. We got to
take all the feedback. The phones are all lit. So

not forget we got we got a college football championship

Man.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
My brother in law, Chris, who is a hardcore Ohio

So how are we gonna make it all the way

I would have loved to see this like tonight or

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So well, you gotta think this weekend's a three day
weekend football stiffy, so because you got wild Card Saturday,
Sunday and then of course College Football Championship. Want to
get to the phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox at Covino and Rich on social media
at Fox Sports Radio. Bob Buker passed away. He's known
(26:26):
for the seven ms. Some of the young people are like, yeah,
the broadcaster guy, like yeah, he was a great broadcaster,
but he did this this that Miller, like mister Belvidere,
mister baseball Milwaukee Braves.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Guy did it all? Major League? Major League.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Some legends require an explanation. Everybody knows that Michael J.
Fox was an icon of the eighties. But what requires
the explanation When your kid sees back to the future,
he pause it and you explain this dude was probably
the most likely do the eighties.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was a TV star.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
And a movie star at the same time, and at
that time that was unheard of really on that level.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Now we see it all the time, but it was rare.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It was rare that the fact that he was on
Family Ties, which at the time was one of the
top shows on network television, and he was starring in movies.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Right back then, it was you were one of the other.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
One or the other. Bo Jackson. Yeah, maybe your kid's
heard of him. But what they don't realize. Pause you
see that run Bosworth. Pause. What you don't know knows
picking kid, is that he was the best baseball player
at the same time he was the best football player.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, it's like he didn't dabble.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
He didn't dabble. I'm gonna add one more. I know
Danny g has a few examples. Again, because it's our job.
It's our job. To keep these stories alive. I'll aah,
Bob Youucker's style, right, that's what he did. So whose
legacy are you keeping alive? I feel sometimes, as we're
getting a little wiser, not older, that when I've grown grown,
here you go. When I speak to someone who's a
(28:05):
little younger to me, I'm like, yeah, Dave Winfield, Yeah,
heard of them?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Like that, heard of them day? Winfield is drafted in
every major sport. Heard of them? Like, I feel like
that requires a little explanation. You know, who do you got?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
This one will be close to home for you guys,
especially because of where you grew up. There would be
no hip hop format. Without them, there would be no
Aerosmith as we know them today. Run DMC.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, people probably take it for granted.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah, there's there's an amazing docusaries on Peacock right now
called Kings from Queens.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh I saw it? Yeah, Oh so good? Great? It
was great. Yeah. They changed the face of music. They
really did. Yeah, you know what, young kid, Younger people
don't even realize that it's a music genre that started
in our lifetime. Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Normal to them to have all those channels and options.
You have no idea that you weren't able to see
that on MTV and Michael Jackson and run DMC and.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Again, these things are also passed down to us, but
it's our job to pass down. Like I didn't realize
until a certain point in life. I was like, wait,
you mean reggae really didn't exist and on a mainstream
level until like the Whalers and those guys were starting
to do it, Like you just assume that it was
always around, Like no, that sound and that music genre started,
Like you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Know those things. And to.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Antoli Kavino's saying, there are people that need know backup,
we know who Michael Jordan is. You don't need to
tell kids about certain athletes and stars. You don't need
to explain Nirvana.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
They get it.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
You know, kids know who Michael Jackson is, but they
don't realize how big the Thriller video are. There's artists
athletes that, for some circumstance, you do need to keep
their legacy alive by just refreshing with your kids. Like
I said, your niece's nephews, I have a bunch of
a bunch. I don't want to take anyone's answer, So
(29:58):
let's go through the phones crossfire.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Let's start with Eric Ohio Cavino and Rich what's up man?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Hey, We've got to remember Howard Costell. I was a
kid in the seventies. You remember Howard Cossel.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Dude, I just I immediately think of his relationship with
Muhammad Ali and how many famous clips they have together,
for sure, and I would say it would be your
job to tell us right now how impactful he was.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Well, the importance was like I'm a kid in the
seventies and I'm watching Sunday Night football, Monday night football,
and this was the stat guy. This was the guy
that knew how many first downs, this guy had thrown,
how many touchdowns he had thrown. None of this stuff
was on computer back then. Howard Cosell knew all the stats.
(30:50):
He knew everything by heart. And he brought that to
us on TV when you had somebody famous there that
played the football. There beside of it that Howard Cosell
knew all the stats.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Speaking of announcers, I will go back to a guy
we already mentioned, but what John Madden brought as far
as color commentating, like just the silly stuff like hey,
look at the birds on the stadium or like just
a funny filler perspective paved the way for others to say, well,
that's an interesting way to be the number two in
the booth.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
What I think is interesting as well, and some because
I said, Brady Bunch of this Color says Howard Cosell.
Howard Cosell was was about the time, but he wasn't
like I was really young and didn't necessarily understand. It's
there's our generation of what we know, but then there's
also our duty to take the stuff that the previous
generation tried to continue to carry on, which I would
(31:45):
say is something like Howard Cosell to continue to do it.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
To me, I think Monday Night Football. I think Al,
Frank and Dan. That was my combo. I guess when
people talk about Oh Bucket Aikman are good, I'm like dad,
But you know what my childhood, I think of Al
and Frank and Dan.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
They're gonna get this party started.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Monday Night Football and Frank Gifford would set the scene,
but Al Michaels would do the play by play.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And I was never a huge Deerdorf guy.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I always sid no you no guy, and a Deerdorf guy,
I know, all right, let's go to dug and boys,
we'll take all your phocals, but one more for now.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Dog, what's up, Dougie doug Hey, guys.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Gonna set the scene for you. I grew up in
the seventies, single mom. She had two jobs. Sometimes she
couldn't get a babysitter for her night job. So my
sister and I would sit in the corner booth of
a honky tonk bar listening to seventies country music. And
we got to keep that stuff alive. Merle Haggar, Tom
t Hall, Charlie Pride, those storytellers with their ballads.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Some of the some of those older artists. For sure,
I wrote down let me go through my quick We'll
go right to dB. Thank you, Bud. In the world
of our our world broadcasting every year on New Year's Eve,
I'm glad that Ryan Seacrest keeps Dick Clark's New Year's
Rockety because Dick Clark was such an innovator in broadcasting,
hosting everything what he meant to music and hosting and TV.
(33:06):
Dick Clark absolutely, Oh that's a great one. I wish
somebody would carry the torch for Casey Kays like that man.
You know they Seacrest does a countdown, Spider Harrison does,
but you're Casey Cason was a that's a great as. Honestly,
his voice was probably so you replaced, trumental and influential
on us, even getting into radio. How captivating was his
voice When he was a kid and you heard him
(33:27):
doing a countdown, You're.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Like, we're reading a letter from somebody.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
You're like, this dude, whoever's on the other side of
the microphone is magical.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I heard him for the first time I found out
about it. I'm from Sable. The Bell.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, I remember that he was on the Zach Attack.
I remember that, but you know he just listening to him,
it really was like, Wow, the radios, it's it's an
amazing medium. You know, we got so many more. Let's
go to Dan buy for an update and stay on
the whole stay on the phones.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
We gotcha. I'm glad.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
I'm glad you went to me because I've been here
longer than all of you guys. And I remember when
Casey Caseum would still do his countdown show in these studios.
In that studio over there, I see some get coffee.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, sad, they've saved his sign that's still hanging on
the wall in the Passing studio.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
That is really cool. Yeah, you guys about that. Yeah,
that's a great piece of piece of history. All right.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Buker passing away today
at the age of ninety. So many places that you
know Yuker, maybe the least of which was that he
was the voice of the Brewers for it almost the
entire existence of the franchise. But lost a great one
today in Bob Buker. Now, let's move on to the
National Football League with the Cowboys requested permission to speak
with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore about their head coaching vacancy. More,
(34:39):
a former Cowboys assistant and player, Jets interviewed Arthur Smith
and Bobby Slowak for their head coaching vacancy. While Texan's
running back Joe Mixon didn't practice today because of an
ankle injury, he's listed as questionable for Saturday's game against
the Chiefs as our linebacker as He's Al Shire and
wide receiver Robert Woods for Houston lines running back David
Montgomery and Commanders linebacker Bobby way Wagner off the injury report.
(35:01):
Both will play Saturday night in Detroit. Ravens Wide receivers

injury and a golf note to pass along. The twenty
twenty five Genesis Invitational will not be played at Riviera
Country Club next month in the Pacific Palisades because of
the wildfires in southern California and those that have hit
that community. The PGA Tour will hold the event February
(35:22):
tenth through the sixteenth at an alternate location. Guys, back
to you, so din Byer, let me get this straight.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
One day they're going to look back and say these
studios were used by Casey, Kasem, Rush Limbaugh and Covino
on Rich.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yes, that's true, and that's true.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Wow, and Steve Harvey, right, and Steve Harvey, Steve.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Harvey, don't forget Jay Moore and his dogs and j
Moore's dogs.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Hey, we got more Cavino on Rich your answers, and
we'll pay a little more tribute to Bob Yucker plus
a lot of NFL coming up right here on Fox
Sports Radio. All right, welcome back to the show, Covino
and Rich, the world famous Cavino and rich Liveromati rack
dot Com Studio. We got old school win fifty hits
in just the moment. But I do want to remind
(36:06):
you that whatever we don't get to today will be
on over Promise. The brand new episode premieres right after
the show four pm on Fox, four pm on the
West Side, seven pm on the East Side on Fox
Sports Radio's YouTube page. Over promised with Covino and rich
oar bonus show Well, in honor of the late great
Bob Yucker, just a bit outside try the corner.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Miss.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
What other legends do we need to keep their legacy alive?
The people that just sort of requires extra explanation. Yeah,
like you said, Bo Jackson because he never won anything,
But it's hard to explain to a kid like No,
he was the best at baseball football at the same time,
let me just throw two more at you. We'll take
the phone calls when we got to hit fifty. Jim Brown,
I'm a Syracuse guy. No one south of thirty years
(36:53):
old understands that Jim Brown what he would have been
if the NFL was, you know, bigger at the time.
He also was like the greatest lacrosse player of all time.
They say, Jim Brown could have played any sport on
Earth and succeeded.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
And ended his career early, like Barry Sanders to go
to movies. How about Johnny Carson? Late night TV doesn't
mean much anymore, and it's all these Jimmy's Kimmel fall
And no one realizes that when our parents were younger
and they were growing up, the Tonight Show was the
biggest deal in the world. To get on the Tonight Show.
It made comedians and actors' lives. To be called over
to the desk by Johnny, that was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Kids will never realize that he was such a mammoth
and Big Mike who runs his place? Who Mike said,
we used the term all the time when you mcguy
or something on the kids might not even realize that
was like a fun eighties TV show, yet we still
use it as a word mcgiver.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Kids will never understand what he could do with a rubber.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Band and a and a paper clud. And when you
said Jim Brown, I thought of Jim Thorpe too. I
mean going even more old school. And that goes with
Dan Buyer's theory. You know, your grandpap he told you
about Jim Thorpe. It's your job to tell him about
Jim Brown and everybody else.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
So let's go. Who do we got. Jerry in Lancaster,
what's up, ja? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:09):
He yeah, I got one for you. He wasn't.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
One of the best.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Dick. Oh yeah, different Dick. I have that tattoo. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Rick in Washington day, Rocky Balboa named his dog as
like Bucers.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
What's up? Rick?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Hey, how's it going, guys? I love your boat?
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Your Bo Jackson reference. How I introduced my son to
Bo Jackson was through techmobile, you know, so couldn't be stopped.
And how good he was.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
That's how good he was. But another one i'm growing up,
I'm about the same age as you guys, is me
and my brother would go in the backyard and play football.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
He was always Don Smith and I was always Barry Sanders.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
You know, my kids are like, Dad, who's Barry Sanders.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'm like, oh, you got to be kidding me.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
So to me, no other running back has ever juked
like you know, maybe Adrian Peterson, but yeah, is juked
like he has.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
So I introduced my kids to them, and I'm like
this is this is how you're you know, you're not
supposed to run a ball, but how you're supposed to run.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
A ball perfect. I love those examples. I will look
at the clock. Fifty has hit. Let's go old school.
Here's a certain ye. What we're gonna do is go
back back into town.
Speaker 8 (39:21):
Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty
hits at fifty after cn R give you the time
capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, so let me get this straight. Not only is
it dB dan Byer's birthday. By the way, we're taking
you for habachi. Bro, you're not gonna get out of
the birthday song at the Haibachi restaurant. We gotta pick
a day this week, next week. Let's let's do this dB.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
But it's also Joe Flacco's birthday. Yes, sir, he's the
Big four to zho dang mn dang. Some may say
he could still start, but he's one hell of a
backup QB. He's still got some juice. You know.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's also lin Manuel Miranda's birthday. So Dan Buyer just
keeps moving down the list.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I'm kidding.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Albert pool Holes, Oh man, it's something Wow, dB, you
like the eighth.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Coolest person who celebrates a birthday today, but in honor
of dB, in honor of Joe Flacca, Danny G. You
were thinking that we gotta we gotta discuss some of
the best backups.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Yeah, of all time, our generation's best backups, and then
take it to entertainment.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Like Rodney Pete, do you go up? Throw him in there?
Like backup qbs or backups in life, like sidekicks. We
could even do entertainment the best supporting roles, supporting roles, backups.
