Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's amazing when you see all of the birthdays. When
you search birthdays, Larry the cable guy on this site
is in the eighth row. Yet Instagram star Peyton Evans
is like getting top billing. I have no idea, no
idea whatsoever, no idea. That's who we celebrate on this
February seventeenth, because no one Moncey is celebrating the NBA
(01:36):
All Star Game. Nope, not at all. And if you
don't believe me, no, if you don't believe Moncey, if
you don't believe Isaiglowin Crown is at the news desk,
or Jason Stewart, who is our executive producer, or Iowa
Sam who's hanging out as our technical producer, you have
to believe Kevin Durant. Because Kevin Durant is taking the
social media posting on X and I'm quoting, I think
(01:59):
it's more fun to complain about the NBA than to
actually watch it. Crazy cancel All Star weekend and let's
just give everybody a break since we're so miserable around
this time. That from Kevin Durant five point three million impressions,
one hundred and five thousand loves on X retweeted more
(02:21):
than eight thousand times comments approaching five thousand. Kevin Durant
four hours ago, by the way, four hours, so there's
still a lot of time. The polls are still open.
To respond to this Kevin Durant tweet, it's more fun
to complain about the NBA than to actually watch it.
I agree with that part for NBA Twitter only. NBA
(02:43):
Twitter loves to deal with that stuff. They love to rank,
they love to go back and forth. It is a
dark place on social media at times. NBA Twitter can
be very, very frustrating. It is its own thing. I
think that is NBA t Twitter. What the All Star
Game is, Manzi, is not NBA Twitter. What the All
(03:04):
Star Game is supposed to be is not NBA Twitter.
It's supposed to be all encompassing. And if anybody's gonna
watch anything, even if they haven't watched the season so far,
they're gonna want to sit down and watch the NBA
All Star Game. And that's the problem is it is
not bringing in the casual fan. It is not bringing
in the fan who just exited and or was ejected
(03:25):
from a football season and want something new or something different.
That's who I believe that the All Star Game is for,
and Kevin Durant is right that it's more fun to
complain about the NBA than watch it within NBA Twitter.
But some people just want to watch basketball, and I
have fun and watch people compete, and that's what I
think is missing out.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, it's he's not wrong. It's like, yeah, just cancel it.
We agree with you, Kevin.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Just cancel it because it seems like you guys don't care.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It's on Twitter that this is the discussion of complaining
and an as an NBA fan, I am complaining because
I had hopes for this new format.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
That they were trying out this year.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Because the biggest complaint is that over the last couple
of years, the level of competition amongst the best NBA
stars has gone out the window.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It seems like they don't care when at one point
they did care.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
At one point the All Star Game, yeah, they may
have been scoring a lot up until the fourth quarter,
but it's gotten out of hand. When you're reaching two
hundred points, it's gotten out of hand.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
We always saw high scoring All Star games, but not
like that. And it's just disappointing that it's evident how
much the players kind of don't care, like they don't
want to be there. And if you don't want to
be there, trust me, we can see it on the screen.
And it's disappointing because some of us really look for,
(04:57):
really used to.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Look forward to the All Star Game, and I was
one of them.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I didn't love last night's performance, but I can't say that.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I hated it because it was a performance. It wasn't
an All Star.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's fair fair enough. Draymond Greenway in though he wasn't
an All Star, but he was on the set for
T and T. These were his thoughts on what the
format was yesterday.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
You work all year to be an All Star and
you get to play up to forty and then you're done.
This is so unfair to Victor Win Miyama who just
took this game really seriously, Shay Gilges Alexander who just
took this game really seriously. When you talk about chasing
after the points, Wreckers Mellow with Kobe and all these
guys who've had great staring Knights, they don't get the
opportunity to do that with this game. Also, we can
(05:36):
watch some rising stars were about to watch the Olympic team.
Now we get to treat of watching the Olympic team
play against a U nineteen team.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Come on, what are we.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Doing all of one to ten?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Your thoughts of the format? Ten being the best? Yes,
a zero sucks. You didn't even give him an option.
It was one to ten, but he went to the
zero to make the point? Did one? Draymond? There's a
lot within that because, and this is where I disagree
with Kevin Durant is he's saying that people should just
(06:11):
accept what they see and like what they see, saying like,
all right, if you guys don't like it, we'll just
cancel it. Or to what you're saying, try compete, make
it a game. Draymond bringing up the fact that we
would sit there and want a tally scoring records and
(06:32):
follow who had the most points in All Star games.
It's not true at all. I have no idea who
scored the most points in All Star games, none whatsoever.
But I can tell you this, when a game has
two hundred points in it by one team, like last year,
that is not the equivalent to what you had thirty
and forty years ago. So don't try to tell me
that the games are being the same. So when you're
(06:54):
talking about scoring records. Yeah, it's pretty easy to score
when no one plays defense whatsoever, So that doesn't even
matter to me. And the funny thing about it is
the players that he mentioned as being players who cared
about the game yesterday were Victor Webbin Yama and shay
Gilgess Alexander younger players in the NBA. Well, what about Draymond,
(07:17):
what about Kevin Durant, what about Lebron James? That whole
generation has dropped the ball. And if you don't believe Mancy,
if you don't believe me, listen to Charles Barkley.
Speaker 8 (07:28):
How about disagree with Draymond a lot.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
You know, I use the.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Analogy like when your kids mess up the house, you
make them cleaning up and they complain, and they messed
the game up. That's why we're trying to come a
cot this stuff out here right now. So his generation
messed the game up, so they'll act like get mad
that they trying to use rookies And are we doing
every type of trick to make this WEE can't exciting.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
He's not wrong, he is not wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And what Draymond said, there are several real layers to it.
But yes, Draymond, you are part of the problem with
your class of NBA stars.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You know, when I'm thinking classes like senior years junior.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Right, your class definitely had a big hand in taking
this event.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
Not so seriously, I look at when we see videos.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Who's the last person that you think of that cared
about the All Star Game that you can remember that
cared about the All Star Game?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I was trying that's I feel like it's very obvious
for everyone, but I was trying to think of someone
else too, that was maybe a little bit more recent, but.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Probably Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yes, he I love when he played defense on Lebron
every single time, every single.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Time Kobe had his nose broken.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
In an All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yes, and played somewhat recently. Yes, And for some reason
that didn't translate. And I don't know if it's Dwayne Wade,
by the way, was the one who broke his new
So Dwayne's a part of that generation. But it didn't
didn't go over to Lebron. It didn't translate to Kevin Durant.
It didn't translate to those players carrying that torch. So
(09:12):
imagine walking into an All Star Game where it is
a scene. It is a social scene, just like you
would at any party. If you're invited behind the velvet rope,
you want to act like you belong there. Yep. So
the last thing that you would do if you were
a first time or second time or third time All
Star and you see Lebron James not carrying and Kevin
(09:33):
Durant not carrying and playing defense, is well, I'm not
going to start to play defense, right.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And also, you don't want to ruffle feathers, right, Like
if you're a first time All Star, you don't want
to go against the grain of what they've settled for
the last several years. Like you don't want to be
that guy out there trying to be different because you're afraid.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Of what the seniors are going to say to you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yes, just like in high school, a freshman is not
going to disrupt the situation.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
They don't want to. They don't want they don't want
a target on their back like that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So then to your point, which I think is a
fair depiction of what we've got here. Once these seniors
and I am using air quotes, yes, right, and juniors
of that generation graduate, do the freshmen like Victor Wembin
Yama and Shay Gilgess Alexander. I know they're not freshman freshman, Yes, yes.
(10:26):
Do they change the game. Do they change it back
to actually caring?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I think they can. It's just not going to happen
from one year to the next. I think it's going
to take a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's not gonna happen when Kevin Durant's there. It's not
going to happen when Lebron James is there. Murphy's not there.
It's not going to happen when James Harden's there. It's
maybe it may not happen. You know, Steph Curry put
on a bit of a show last nights, the MVP
hit a half court three exciting moments in all of that.
But you know, maybe maybe it's up to Maybe it's
(10:58):
up to Steph. Maybe Steph's a part of that junior
senior class and it's going to take a while. But
I do think, like when Kevin Durant tweets this, he
is talking about he is just completely not seeing the
forest through the trees, absolutely, and he's part of the problem.
The NBA needs to go away. Maybe these all stars
need to go away. For it to be sufficient. I
(11:19):
didn't like seeing the Rising Stars manzi, but they did
try last night. Yeah, and I did see people on
Twitter saying the Rising Stars are the only ones who
are actually hustling out there.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
They are and it was just disappointing because there was
a moment when the Global Stars lost Alpa and Shangoon
didn't even try to stop the last bucket and you
saw Vic throwing Banyama throw his hands up, like what
are we doing there?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
There are you? It's very evidence some of them.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Care, but it's all the young guys who don't have
enough power to change it. But he literally threw his
hands up as the minute the Global Stars got eliminated, there's.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Going to You're gonna need an alpha to do it.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You're gonna need an alpha, and we don't have one, right.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Not that would make the change.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Not that would make it. In the in the in
the undertre.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I thought like could like who has kind of gone
against the norm is Yannis And I don't know if
if if I don't consider yanis a part of the
Lebron Durant even Steph Curry generation, I consider him almost
maybe maybe a sophomore. Use your thing but Giannis has
been one who has also kind of been bucking the trend.
(12:32):
No pun intended on his decisions with what he's done
and what he's played and things that he said, and
has a rivalry with Chris Paul wants to fight him
on the court, like those sort of things. Now it's
everybody's giving hugs and dapping up. I'm curious if if
he would end up changing that, or because he's also
an international player, maybe you have more international influence with
(12:53):
the Victor Webban Yama where you can pass that down.
I don't think Kevin Durant is wrong in saying that
the All Star Game to go away, a point that
you also made just for the simple reason is if
it goes away, maybe we will crave it once it
comes back, like it just needs to just they just
need to maybe go on a break, take a.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Little hiatus a couple of.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Years years, and that may be the best. Now there's
All Star Game scheduled already next year it's in la
and yeah to a dome, and then it's in Phoenix
in twenty twenty seven. But if we get two more
years of this and I didn't mind the last night,
it just it didn't give me another reason to tune in,
like the actual play last night. You're right about all
the stoppages and everything that's happened. But I didn't mind
(13:33):
the play last night, But it just didn't give me
any reason to want to go and watch it again.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It was an awards show, it was not an NBA
All Star game. Three and a half hours and maybe
thirty minutes of actual game.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Like, what are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I know you had some numbers. I don't know if
you can track him down Jason Stewart, our executive producers here.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Yeah, just I like your idea of maybe stopping for
a couple of years and having like a fast or
a cleanse. Yeah, it's a cleanse weekend. No, nothing happens,
and then then when they come back, they have like
the new set of guys that can ticket serious. Now,
when you said that, you wanted to unpack a lot
of what Draymond said. I thought you were referring to
this now. He said something at the end that was interesting.
(14:15):
How's it go al of one to ten? Your thoughts
of the format.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Ten being the best? Yes, let's zero sun.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
I like how Draymond wanted to clarify ten being best
for those rare situations when someone says to go one
to ten where ten is the worst and one is
the best.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I saw Justin Jefferson TikTok from Radio Row at the
Super Bowl and they asked him to rate his wide receiver,
the LSU wide receivers, and Odell I think, came up
and he said Odell three, and I'm like, okay, cool, cool,
I get that. And then he then then maybe it
(14:58):
was like Brian Thomas came up and he had Brian
Thomas like one or two. You're like, wait a second.
They were saving him for the last. And then so
Justin Jefferson, I think, put himself at five and was
like five's the best. Right. It's the only time, to
Jason's point, that I had ever heard somebody misrepresent like
(15:20):
an actual rankings. Yes, that was a rankings. This was
a grating. So they're opposite, but that's that's what yeah,
to the point of and maybe he did it for effect,
but yes, do you think he would have said eleven
if left Goo would have gave him the one is
the best, ten is the worst.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah, he would have said eleven, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
So the numbers, the numbers minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Play minutes according to Clutch Points, Instagram commercials and other
people have this as well. Commercials and breaks came out
to two hours and twenty six minutes, All Star Game
minutes thirty three minutes and forty one seconds.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
What a waste of my time and.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Nobody got time for it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Absolutely, and I don't dislike Kevin Hart. I love the
NBA on TNT guys, of course, but this isn't why
I'm watching the All Star Game. I was shake Gil
justs Alexander got so annoyed when Kevin Hart. Also, why
is Kevin Hart talking where the players.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Can hear him?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Like?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
What are we doing? I that took me a minute
to understand.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I was like, oh, the players can hear him on
the court as he's talking smack to them.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I was surprised that they got Kevin Hard to say.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yes, what are you talking about? He's the best agent
out there along with Shock sucks.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Just at the Super Bowl was seven days ago. He
was at the Super Bowl. Now he's at the All
Star Game. Now He's gonna be on every commercial until
he shows up at another sporting event.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Like I just was, honestly I think I'm so annoyed
and upset about it because I actually had hopes and
with drama. When I said there's a lot too unpacked,
I was gonna add I was like the fact that
an active play is talking smack on the product is
another conversation. Like the fact that he is comfortable doing
that just goes how much Adam Silver has no spine
(17:08):
in this situation, Like, how are you allowing that now?
If you're not an active player, I think it's fair game.
But an active player saying that.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
No, Well, like I wouldn't say Roger Goodell has a
spine because they formed Pro Bowl games either. I think
that they're at the mercy of what these players and honestly,
what their owners would want them to do. Your point
about expectations directly related to me was I didn't have expectations,
So that's why I think I didn't mind it as much.
(17:37):
Halftime was a neat tribute to the Bay and Vogue
came out. Sure, So whenever halftime actually was, which I
think it was between the two games, and then there
was the championship game, and that there were more delays,
there's a lot going on. It's a different type of show.
It's not like the halftime show with the Super Bowl,
(17:58):
but there are different elements. But there was just so
much stopping and starting. And you mentioned Sengoon of the Rockets.
I didn't even remember him in the game, and maybe
it was the championship game and all of a sudden
he got into the final two minutes. And I thought
to myself, that's your All Star experience. Like we feel
bad in Major League Baseball when someone doesn't play in
(18:18):
the game because oh geez, and we saw what happen
when you try to get everybody into the game and
then you end up ending in a tie, and so
Major League Baseball tries to work around that. But you
think about the All Star weekend, and then I thought
to myself, is it about that? Is it about being
on the court, or is it about going to the
parties and hanging with all Stars for the week and
being at the practices. I still think being in the
(18:39):
game and being in that game as a player would
have to mean something. It just unfortunately doesn't mean anything
the guys who have been there fourteen times, and I
think that's the problem to it. Maybe it's just a
right of passage for the Kevin Durantz and Lebron James
and whatnot. But if Draymond Green it feels that shake,
(19:00):
Gilles Alexander and Victor wemban Yama actually care, then maybe
it does need an exit for these other guys to
you know, leave stage left and allow these young guys
to actually put in competition, because it does ultimately fall
in the players.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I was thinking that as it was happening. If we're
saying that all.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Of basketball yesterday it was thirty three minutes, that means
that first game where it was the Global Stars eliminated
by the.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I'm pretty sure it was Chucking Kenny's teams, I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, right, So that first team that was eliminated, if
it was thirty three minutes for all of it, those
players played ninety seconds, you know, like And I was
thinking that because I feel like I was watching, uh,
Trey Young, what I like watching Trey Young?
Speaker 4 (19:42):
And I was like, man, it's over for him. That's it.
We saw him for two minutes.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, Like, what is it? Dalton Kennet got just as
much run as Jalen Brown, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
It does much run.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
And that's not that that is not a winning formula This.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Is just, this is layers upon layers upon layers of fixes. Yeah,
that's the point where we got about it. If you
want to use the broken nose portion of it of
Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant going at it. I do
know that there were fourth quarters in the NBA All
Star Game previously where you had pride and you were
playing defense. That's all this is. It's just it's every
single year, it's a new layer of something. Honestly, you
(20:17):
know what else? I also think hurts. I think All
Star Saturday isn't as good anymore.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And so Mac McClung ends up quote unquote saving the day.
I'd love to have a Mac McClung discussion. Steve Zabin,
a former host at Fox Sports Radio now hosting in
Milwaukee and across the state of Wisconsin, pointed out that
McClung kind of launches himself on his dunks by grabbing
the basketball.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah, you go out and do that.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Okay, move out and do that, which I would love.
That was separate discussion about. But the three other dunkers
leading up to it weren't grabbing the hype. And then
I heard people saying, you know what, Castle should have
won the dunk contest last night because all Mac McClung
was doing was this and that's all negativity. There's no
excitement from it. The three point shootout was had drama
(21:06):
at the end, but there was no staff, right, Buddy
Healed represented you know, was I guess Warriors representation at
that point. But I think that when you have Victor
wemen Yama and Chris Paul also ditching this the competition,
the skills competition, and trying to figuring out a way
to game the system, it just set the whole weekend
off on a bad note.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I mean, he's trying to you know, outsmart the system.
But what is Lebron doing?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
And that's okay, Like everyone's getting mad at Chris Paul
for doing that, but like Lebron, you literally decided an
hour before.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
The Yeah, but on a weekend where you complain that
nobody is trying or caring, they just completely throw basketballs. Right.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
They're trying to do it as fast as they could,
because that was the.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Point of that first image of what All Star Weekend is.
And then you're like, wait, this is it. It just
seems like they've completely missed the message. Yeah, you're not wrong,
so that you don't have any hope that anybody else
would actually get the message, especially by the way, I'm
a senior like Chris Paul.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Yeah, you're not wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
You're not wrong, even though it's weird that they apparently
got the okay about it like they were, they got
the thumbs up that it was okay to do that,
and then they were disqualified.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Who would even think that?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Who?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Like, she's Monty Belano, So I'm Dan Byer, Jason Stewart's here,
Iowa Sam is here as well.

Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 2 (22:38):
I'm gonna give some words of wisdom, and I know Kavino.
Director are always positive here on Fox Sports Radio. That's
why you hear the great applause when the guys come
in every hour. You hear the crowd. I feel like
there was louder ones when they're actually here. Is there
or is it? Because yeah, there it is. Yes. They
also have eighteen producers on their show. That's true, so
there's more people. That's always clapping. Yes, I know they
(23:03):
always try to be positive. But when you come at
us in what we're talking about, Okay, if you say
you don't want us talking about Kendrick Lamar anymore, I'm
gonna talk about Kendrick Lamar more and more and more.
Don't give me this. It's a slow news day. It's
a not slow news day. Guess what. There are no
(23:24):
slow news days. There are no slow sports days. In
sports talk radio, every single day of your life, you
can talk about sports every single day. And I know
that this may seem like a music conversation, but it
happened in our world of sports, So I still think
that it's there.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, and like you're like you said, it is the
gift that keeps on giving.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
And a week later on social media, if you are
on social media, it is still prevalent. And if Monty
and I are here talking about how Auburn is the
number one ranked team in college basketball for the sixth
straight week and you don't care about college basketball, guess what.
You may turn the channel because you're not interested in it.
If you like Monci and Me, or you like Cavino
(24:07):
and Rich and those guys are truly one of the
best at them. They could talk about a phone book,
not just reading names about the phone book, but just
talk about the yellow pages and they'd make it interesting
for twenty minutes. Their chemistry is up there with the
best of them. And that's why you listen. Don't turn
away just because of the topic. We're here to talk
and entertain. And if you tell me that get off
(24:28):
this topic, then you can get off my radio.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
We're getting back on it right now.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Sorry, I just met. I hate it when people say
slow newsday and sports. I hate it when radio hosts
say that not much to talk about bull crap. There's
tons to talk about. There's always tons to talk about.
And you know what, when you get out of your job,
and if you worked on President's Day right now and
you're in the Central time zone IOA, Sam and I
both agree, the best time zone that there is, and
(24:55):
you're coming home from work after working this holiday, you
just want to have some fun. You want to listen
to people having some fun. And I think if you
know and rich do it the best. And that's all
that we tried to do here. So that's that's my
bit of a rant. And yeah, I may be mad
that Margaret and Danielle may not be back on Real
Housewives in New Jersey. I don't know. It just happened
within the last hour. I don't know if it's a
(25:15):
real or not.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Get there may be.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
No more food does like. I'm just it may have
really just got me riled up a little bit, but
I just I had to get it off my chest.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You know, Dan, right now, if we had a cocktail,
I would choose you because it dropped the mic.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Man that was well said, yes, no, you know wrong.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Preller Forever tweets in says he disagrees. He doesn't tell
us to stop talking about it. Yeah, you know, don't
give me this. Don't give me this. I cannot stand that.
We're here to have a good time. We hope you
enjoy us.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
We're having a.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Grand time, and we are broadcasting live from the tireg
dot com studios tyreg that.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Time, Andy Cohen, well.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
You get there an unmatched selection, fast reshipping, free, road
hazard protection and over ten wasn't recommended installers.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Tyreck dot com the way tired buying. You should be, Dan,
You're you're not wrong, keep going man going.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I don't even know what tweet. You're talking about a tributes.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
We have a tribute to Mike Tyson.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Well you going on that raant made me think of
one memorable SoundBite from back in the day from Mike Tyson.
Remember this, do.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
You have a problem? Turn off your station?
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yep?
Speaker 7 (26:23):
One of the all time exchanges. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Dan? No?
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Oh my gosh. So he was on live TV. Okay,
because Covino loves to do a Tyson this is very
appropriate for this time slot. And he was on live
TV with a local station and the guy said, uh,
talk about your rage, Michael, and uh, and Mike's like,
what do you mean rage? And then uh, and then
he got a little heated. And then he said an
f bom on live TV. And the guy's like, what
(26:48):
do you need to talk that way?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Michael?
Speaker 7 (26:50):
And he said this, do you have a problem?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Turn off your station?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Mike Tyson? Every time he talks it just makes me laugh.
Is the sound of my price that makes me laugh?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I'm sorry, Oh I've never heard that before. You never
heard I don't even know what the clip looks like. Oh,
I got to send you a clip. Yeah, you do
find it, listeners. It's great, all right?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Moving on, moving on, moving on.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And the guy who tweeted and he knows who I'm
talking about because he just told me I suck. He
literally just tweeted and he told me I suck. But
it's okay. I'm totally fine with it. It's the straw
that broke the camel's back. This and on the heels
of Real Housewives of New Jersey possibly shaking up their cast.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
This person doesn't even have a profile page.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I get it. And it's not it's not a fact
of feeding in the trolls. It's just it just is. Oh,
I can't stand that I got it off my chest.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, I feel better.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I feel great, actually really good right now, great job job.
We are in for Covino and Rich here on Fox
Sports Radio. Lots of women soups today, including number one
Notre Dame, the new number one going up against number
eleven Duke in some action. We talked yesterday a little
bit on how the women's game needs to find their
(28:06):
pocket of Sunday in being the marquee window, and that
was the case, and now they're taking advantage of President's
Day with the NBA going on and.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
On Sam's favorite network, like what a day for Sam.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yes, that's the Maryland Michigan game yesterday on the NBC
network and on Saturday night, a weekend long celebration of
Saturday Night livenl and what I find so great about it?
And Isaac just we did the Doug Gottlieb Show earlier,
(28:39):
just talked about it as his favorite thing from the
weekend watching the special last night. They had the musical
special on Saturday and it was long, trust it was long.
Sam is catching up to it on his recorded DVR.
I saw parts of both the musical edition and of
the fifty year tribute that they did, and like anything,
(29:02):
and I think Sam, you put it best. It was
hit and miss on some of the stuff. Isaac the
same thing. Some stuff hits, some stuff misses. But I
don't know a person that was just like I never
watched it, never watched like, at some point in your life,
whether it be in high school, whether it be in college,
Saturday Night Live entered your life. And I think that's
(29:23):
what the fifty years was trying to encapsulate. And it
took him like three hours and forty five minutes to
do it. Good job to get fifty years into that much.
But I thought of how they did it and the
names and everybody involved. It was a It was a
very good broadcast, both Saturday Night with the music and
then Sunday Night with the overall show.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, I did not watch anything yet, and I do
intend to watch it.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I didn't know it was two different specials.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
And I keep seeing clips and I actually have not
hit the clip with volumes because I I don't want
to see it on a small screen.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I want to see it on TV. But I am
very like they got me to want to watch it,
you know what I mean. I didn't know what was happening.
I completely forgot. I loved SNL growing up.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't watch it as often now, but sometimes if
I am at home going through the channels on a
Saturday Night and it's on, I'm like, oh, let me
sit through this skit, you know, and if it's good,
I'll sit through the next two skits.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
But sometimes it's not.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I think I think there's generational ownership of Saturday Night Live,
where you own your generation. I look back at some
of the skits, like I'll tell you when Rob Schneider
would do is making copies like that, Like that was
that was me in early nineties junior high middle school,
(30:37):
of what it would be going into high school.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
Looking down the damn Sam Ramon walking to the printer
making cuppy Bunniest.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
You wanted that skit like you waited, you you tuned in,
you wanted that skit. Now I'm forty eight years old,
would probably not what I would want in the first
segment or two of Saturday That Live. But back then
there was something about it. There was something that hit
with it, and it was in my generation. So now
(31:08):
like it's partial ownership, there are cast members of Saturday
Night Live that are part of your generation and a
part of your group. And that's that was a part
of it. And that's what I find so interesting about
it is whether Manzi, you're younger than me, Jason and
I are about the same age, Isaac's a little bit younger,
Sam and Monzi somewhat in the same ballpark, but we've
(31:29):
got it probably about twenty years of range within this
group yere and we would all probably have different things
or different stuff from Saturday Night Live that we took.
And I think that's what's so unique about it, which
by the way, is not unlike sports in saying guess
what eighties NFL was the best. I know people would
say nineties NFL. You may say two thousands NBA was,
(31:50):
you know, twenty ten NBA. Like everybody has their generational grasp,
and I think that's also the case with Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
You know, it's really crazy to think about fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like, if I really think of who came out of
Saturday Night Live, we've probably probably forgotten some of the
stars that came out of that show.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
When you watch the special, you're like, Billy Crystal was
on the.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Cat That's what the little vid right, like the little
video they've seen him, Like, oh my gosh, I forgot
that that's where they started, that, that's.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Where it all came from. Fifty years. That is impressive.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
I didn't even know John mulaney was a writer on
the show until Yes, So I just thought he was
a stand up comedian.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Really, you didn't know. I didn't know he was a.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Writer on the show until I saw that part of
the tribute last night.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Wow, I thought that was his whole deal, right, was it?
I just.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
I just started seeing stand up of him and I'm like, oh,
this guy's funny. And but I really didn't know he
was a writer. Tina Feye did Weekend Update, and she
was a little bit more in sketches and stuff. I
don't remember him being in. He wasn't in any sketches,
was he when he was a writer? No, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yeah, I don't think he was. You're you're right, But
there's so many writers who was looking.
Speaker 9 (32:57):
At the scrolling credits and being like, oh, John Mullaney,
I'll remember that name. Like once he became more prominent,
then I was like, oh, yeah, okay, but then I
didn't know.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I didn't know that. Well.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
You know, they go so fast at the end of
the show, right, you know, everyone's doing their hugging and stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
So yeah, there's there's when you mentioned Chris Rock, for me,
it's Rock, it's Farley, it's Rob Schneider, that is, that's
like my lineup, and.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
Really Chris Rock is on because he was only there.
He even said he's like I barely got in any sketches,
you know, he said his.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Time there was more than I think that ye would. Let.
I mean, he maybe maybe wasn't Farley, but I think
that there was. Yeah, there was there was some absolute
Chris Rock. But there's like that's that's the group of
like that would be my lineup. I was telling that.
I was telling Jason they did this great memoriam and
I don't think I'm ruining anything by saying this, but
(33:54):
of stuff that maybe they shouldn't do anymore and stuff
that wouldn't be appropriate. And they did the Schmid's Gay
commercial with Adam Sandler and Chris Farley and it is
it is. It is so hilarious and it the the
thing though that unfortunately happened with that because this kind
of ties into what they did Saturday night. They don't
(34:15):
have the music rights to Van Halen anymore on the skit,
and so Isaac, I don't know if you remember the
but that commercial I know Jason Stewart does. It was
so hilarious and so funny that now you go to
YouTube like it's lost forever because now the song isn't used.
But like that's that's the sort of stuff that you
go back to and you're just it's the funniest thing
(34:38):
thirty years ago and it's still the funniest thing today.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
It was it beautiful girls was the song, right, That's
just how it sounded like what you were I don't
remember the exact sounds on top.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Of the World. On the top of the World. Okay, okay,
that's what we list.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
Then you just go back play that song on your
phone and pair it out there. You'd be like the
full Schmitz Gay experience.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
It's so great when you see the decrepit pool, you
know exactly what's going on, just like so many of
the other skits, but that that you remember the Chippendales,
Chippendale's and the Chippendales was so like gosh, like that
that just you talk about laughter and laughter and laughter.
And then you hear like years later about Farley and
the stuff that he went through and even Patrick Swayze
(35:16):
and dealing with some of that stuff. You have a
new appreciation from it. But you also remember at the
time of just how funny that was and how great
those actors were. I just thought it was I thought
it was great.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And that's a sign of truly classic comedy that it
ages well, because a lot of stuff they do is
totally topical. But you know, knock on wood fifty years
from now, if they still have you know, the world,
if they still have YouTube. You said the Chris Farley
Chippendale sketch, Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek, hosted Celebrity Jeopardy
(35:50):
with Darryl Hammond as Sean Connery and with Norm McDonald
Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds. Those are classic and timeless,
and even for from a sports perspective, you cannot beat
the Peyton Manning United Way sketch because that was the
very first thing that kind of launched Peyton Manning as
(36:13):
a personality, for him to have that caricature of him
as like a rogue a hole for the first time,
because his reputation there was totally as a straight, kind
of boring, you know, football quarterback and nothing more. That
Peyton Manning SNL hosting and United Way sketch I think
was the launching point of him being the personality that
(36:35):
he is today.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I don't think you're wrong. And the funny thing is
is you you used the phrase there where I just
looked at him as he was being such football guy
that it didn't matter if they were eight year old kids,
that you should know the route that you're running and
like that. That's it's but it's but it's your point. Yeah,
I think that it did. I think it completely launched everything.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
I saw something on social media and I don't intend
on watching it. I think I'm gonna I'm going to
consume the fiftieth anniversary like I've consumed SNL for like
the past fifteen years, and that's on Twitter. It's like snippet. Yeah,
if somebody else tell me what was good. But like,
I did see something and I think they redid the
David Spades sketch where he's greeting he's a steward or
(37:19):
bye bye bye, bye bye, one of my favorites. I
totally forgot. I totally forgot that. Why did that? So
I need to go back and watch those Those are
so cool where you had the customers complaining and he
would just be like bye bye, right, it was incredible.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
I think that I forget. What Isaac said really made
me think of like SNA has brought a lot of
people to hosts who you didn't think would be funny,
Like it shows us different sides to singers, athletes, and
I don't know if any show has ever been able
to do that, Like you know, everyone hosts the show,
everyone who's anybody will host the show. And I see
(37:56):
skits and I'm like, I didn't think you could actually
be funny and be an actor. And that's a sign
that I don't I don't know if any other show
has been successful.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
It's probably why there have been so few athletes that
haven't been asked back, But Barkley's been asked back four times, yes,
and I think that's that's a reason why. And when
we grew up watching Charles Barkley, you wouldn't think that
this would be the Charles Barkley that there is to
the Peyton Manning point, completely different situations, but yeah, he
was he And like if you want to call the
(38:24):
rock in athlete, they still call it a wrestler, still
show an actor like portion of it, but like true
athlete only Charles Barkley is the only one who's hosted
multiple times.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
And you know, that's a great point because on the
flip side, in a counterintuitive way, nothing cements you as
having made it in the public consciousness, as being a
notable person, as being parodied on Saturday Night Live when
they would parody LeVar Ball, that's a sign that you've
made it. I mean they said, you know you've made
(38:55):
it as a person of sixty minutes, there's a profile
on you. You've made it as a if sixty minutes shows
up to expose you, you've made it as a famous person.
If you're big enough that you get parodied.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
A notorious person. Yeah, yeah, you're always for the greatest reasons.
But that's true.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Ray Romano Sport Sports Center. He did his own like
that that those are those are iconic stuff. We want
to hear from you eight seven seven nine on Fox
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Uh,
the SNL parts that stand out there are there are
so many sports, I mean, doub Bear's I mean, who
could That's when that started, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean
(39:38):
more sick of.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
That phrase, and it all started the.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Super fans, right, and it happened. It happened in the nineties,
like during the Bulls Run.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Like Goodman was that was the guest. I want to say,
the first guest that they incorporated that with was Goodman
and then two other.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Guys George Went, Georg Yeah, George Went was the one
for sure, I know, and far he's the one thumb
balls summer y him.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yes, And they're all having heart attacks for the second
because they eat.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Boss stuff like their predictions. Like you knew the joke
was coming and you still like it was still funny. Yes, Yeah,
eight seven seven nine nine on Fox. It's eight seven
seven nine to sixty six thirty six nine. Hit Mancy
up at Manzy Belano so you can find me at
Dan Byer on Fox. The music stuff was great as well,
and mentioning that talking about on how they just launched
(40:26):
so many careers and or they knew who was about
to launch and that allowed a stepping stone or a
virtual launch of a lot of careers in the music
stage because they would put performers up there that we're
about to become big, but then SNL put them over
that hump.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
You're not alone if this song is been in your
head for the entire week, and I know it was
in the head of many for a long time. Welcoming
Kavino and Rich. I'm Dan Bayer, She's Manti Blaios Cavino
and Rich. We're in for Dan Patrick earlier today on
Fox Sports Radio. I think we're a week removed from
the Kendrick Lamar. We are a week removed from the
Kendrick Lamar halftime performance, and I think this is the
(41:23):
perfect situation, in the perfect example to show don't be
too quick to judge. Sure, can I reveal, Well, what
did you think of the halftime performance? Watching it during
Super Bowl fifty nine?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I like Kendrick Lamar, and I was, you know, like
like I was right now kind of dancing to his music,
bobbing my head. But I just don't think it translates
to a halftime show.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Yes, really, I would say that was That was my
opinion being in the stadium, which was and people had
asked me what did you think of the halftime show?
And I said, I thought it was fine. I thought
that the setup was very elaborate. It took up a
big part of the field. There's a lot of movement,
but I didn't see the entire crowd getting into it,
(42:19):
so there wasn't a lot of crowd reaction. I came
back from New Orleans and spoke with Jason Stewart about it,
and Jason, I think, am I overreaching in saying that
you loved the performance from the Super Bowl? I did?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
I liked it. I did, and I will say this too.
My girlfriend Christana, who's not a huge Kendrick Lamar fan,
liked it for the performance. She doesn't necessarily know the music.
So that was my experience. Now when I went online,
I was just kind of upset at how closed minded
people are. I literally just think people saw what it
was that's foreign to me and it's the worst performance
(42:55):
of all time, and it's just like to me, I
was hoping for more open mindedness, kind of like you, Dan,
maybe you want to take a second look at it,
maybe read up about some of the symbolism and stuff.
Maybe like it's art, so maybe take an interest, be
more curious.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
That's the problem with Twitter, and it even goes to
the NBA All Star Game where it's it's one or
the other, like nobody is okay with an in between discussion.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Because to say that it was the worst, I don't know.
It wasn't, but it wasn't my favorite, even though I
did think the dancer.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
The choreography there was the entire thing was choreographed, and
that was impressive from top to bottom, you know what
I mean, And that was impressive, But.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Still I don't think it translates to a Super Bowl show.
But I didn't think it was the worst. I don't think,
but it was either the worst or the best. THO
was the only options.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I understand that I was in the minority because of
seeing it in person. There's only seventy thousand of us
that saw it in person, where there was one hundred
million people that saw it live. That's where I made
a mistake in judging it, and it's because I could
to give you my experience. But as Jason alluded to,
(44:02):
I went back and watched it last week. I went
to YouTube, brought it up. How does this translate? And
it made a lot more sense. It was a much
better watch, and the Samuel Jackson stuff ended up working through.
But it all leads to this other point. Actually, it's
two points. For as much of a show that I
(44:24):
thought it was better seeing it for TV, which is
what his intentions were, there is still only one song
people are singing from it. Yeah, so we have thirteen
or fourteen minutes from it, and it's the ninety seconds
of the Drake distrack. They not like us yeah in that,
(44:46):
but it has resonated so much that it still is
all over my TikTok algorithm. I still see tweets about it,
and so when I talk about judging a performance, I
don't want to say that it was for me because
I'm also into the song. I'm not a huge Kendrick
Lamar fan, so the other hits I didn't know. I
(45:07):
love the song Stars with him and Sissa. I love
that song. There was only twenty seconds of it during
the performance, which was disappointing to me. Actually have it
on my phone. I'm like, all right, finally they're doing it.
So I recorded it and then it just ended and
they moved on. So I didn't necessarily know all the tracks.
But to Jason's point, and I think a point at
large is and Mantiu hit it as well, it's either
(45:29):
this or that. After a week, I think you have
a much better appreciation of it. I don't know if
it's the greatest one that I saw, but for anybody
saying that it was bad and it was awful, I
think they missed the mark. I think that when you
see the levels that it's taken, and maybe this is
new because of what it's done on social media, we're
talking about it a week later, I think those are
(45:50):
the lasting things from it that you have to take away.
So I almost felt bad about my description, but honestly,
my description was my description. It didn't translate at the Superdome, right,
it didn't.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
And you've seen so many halftime shows that your opinion
was based on experience, not.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
Just oh, this is what I thought today.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
I texted you during the halftime show and I was like,
I wouldn't be bothering you if this game wasn't over.
Speaker 4 (46:14):
But it's over. How is a halftime show like?
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Because it doesn't seem to translate and I don't. I again,
I was there singing along. I do know a lot
of Kendricks, I have him on my phone.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
But it just was like, I don't. I don't think
this is it.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
And I don't know if it's because I feel like
there needs to be a song where it's like every
everyone together joins in a little bit of camaraderie one moment,
and I don't know if we got that moment at all.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
We did a week later, A week later, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (46:41):
But I don't think Kendrick wanted you to have that.
I think that he's such an artist and he works
on a deep level and he was going to perform
his art for those who got it, and if you
didn't get it, I don't think he really cares, and
he didn't want to deliver that big hit. I don't
even know if he has a really big hit tip
for everyone to sing along to. But I remember, Dan,
You're you were also put off last week in the
(47:03):
first forty eight hours, there was this annoying thing online
where people who really got it and loved it like
talked down their nose to people who didn't. Yes, like
this is the greatest thing ever. You guys just don't
get it, and that's annoying. I was not in that camp.
I told I didn't completely understand it. But I will
say this, It's kind of like a conversation Doug Gottlieb
(47:25):
and I had about Top Gun a couple of years ago.
I didn't think it was like Oscar worthy. I didn't
think it was Best Picture worthy. I'm kind of a
film snob. Doug is not. Doug is very unsophisticated when
it comes to films. He's admitted that to me, but
he's like, but I loved it, people loved it, and like,
I think that's when you talk about a Super Bowl
audience and it's not translating. They're more the top gun audience.
(47:48):
They want to be there. It's a little bit more
they want a simple thing to be entertained by. They
don't want to sit through something they have to think about,
especially if there are dark tones.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
You you are not wrong, but at home, right, you
don't want to think about it because you might be
getting up to get a drink to I got another
slice of pizza. Like you want to get the message across,
and I get that, but it still won't necessarily translate
on TV in that moment because a lot hardly ever
am I sitting the entire time, except when it was
Beyonce a couple of years ago, then I sat the
(48:19):
whole time. Shakira j Lo is not the whole time,
but typically during AF time, like I'll start it and
then I will get up and get another refreshment and
get another snack.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
I may use the rushroom because I also like the commercials,
Like there's no opportune time to like do any of
those things.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
I storry interrupt. But you mentioned the Shakira Jennifer Lopez,
And again my experience is at the stadium. It's one
of them that I point to because I have not
seen a crowd react to actually what is happening so
much with that performance because they recognized the realness of Shakira. Yeah,
(48:55):
and they recognized what felt to be fakeness of Jennifer Lopez.
The response to when Shakiro would do her part was
off the charts, and the energy completely shifted when Jalo
would do her thing. And then when Shakira, like it
was within the stadium you are feeling this. You didn't
have that feel because there's only one artist, so there's
(49:15):
not going back and forth, but you feel things when
you're at stadiums, and that was one of them that
that I felt.
Speaker 4 (49:20):
I love that, Go Shakina.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
And that's crazy that you're saying it was in and
now because at that time, I feel like Jalo today
is really disliked.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
I actually do think that today.
Speaker 3 (49:32):
Right at that time, I didn't think she was disliked
like that, but clearly no.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
But yeah, you're right. But that's the natural aspect of
it is because of Shakira's power and how much she
was liked, it paled in comparison to what people actually
liked about Jennifer Lopez.
