Speaker 3 (00:19):
I hope you're having a great Friday, maybe already starting
the weekend, great weekend of hoops. I told you about
the magic of April. I told you about this.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I think you have you share.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It falls within my sports calendar, yes, but sports fans
may or may not know this. April is packed with greatness.
First weekend Final Four, next weekend Masters, next weekend start
of the NBA Playoffs, next weekend NFL Draft. After that,
you're in the May.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's crazy, man, It's gonna go by in the blink
of an eye.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
April Swear It's at Monci Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Tarek dot com the way Tirebuine should be what in April.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I mentioned the Final Four as part of that great
April run. And on Monday night, one team will cut
down the nets as national champions. But that doesn't mean
that the other three teams are losers, not at all.
Maybe on that Monday night there will be one team
that wishes they were cutting down the nets. But as
time goes on, you'll be looked at as the team
that went to the Final Four, and that is good enough.
(01:34):
In college basketball, it's yeah, you'd love to win championships.
I think your point of how we look at greatness,
like when we judge coaches, I think that there is
something to the fact of the randomness of the one
game scenario. Anything can happen. But I do think like
for someone like Tom Izo who's been to so many
final fours and only has the one championship, where you're
(01:58):
kind of looking back and that credit tom Izzo, but
you're like, man, shouldn't you have like two or three?
You know, Bob Night won three championships. We remember Jim
Bayham and Syracuse going so many times in getting close
and then finally breaking through in two thousand and three.
Because his happened later in his career, maybe we didn't
look at him needing more. But I feel maybe we
unfairly treat tom Izzo in that way. But still, you
(02:20):
talk about Michigan State, they are a premier program in
the country and it's because of all of their trips
to the final four.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
I actually agree with what you said after you mentioned marketing.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It's a love festival.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It is because I'm like, you're right, Why does final
four sound so much better than saying the semi finals
like semi finals, you're just gonna go. It's the semi finals,
final four. It's like all the fun you.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Won your region. Yes, made it to the to the
to the final stage. So we wanted to hear from
you out there, whether at be on X or Blue
Sky or via the phones where Matt is joining us
from Alaska. Matt, welcome into Cavino and Rich. How you
doing on this Friday?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Hey Matt, Hey, how are you guys today?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Awesome, chilling, awesome.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I think I think in the world of sports, maybe
being a big golfer, uh, if you are a US
amateur and you play up through your local ranks and
actually make it to play in the US Open itself,
and you even make the cut I think that is, yes, incredible,
But think about the ones that in the last couple
of years. Was that a couple of guys finishing like
the top twenty. I think one of them finished in
(03:23):
the top ten. That has got to be a moment
in life that ye're like, well, I wish I would
have won, but this is good.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And and on that level, Matt, great recommendation.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And golf, when you when you're a US amateur and
you play in the US Amateur tournament, the final two
get automatic bids to the Masters, it's.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Got to be good happen if you make it.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's it. That's the point, Like, like, you may
lose the final match and not be US Amateur champion.
The consolation prize is you're teeing it up in Augusta
in eight months. Like that's that's the that's the awesome
and nine months that's that's the awesome part of it.
It's yeah, you maybe didn't win, but you get to
go to Augusta. To his point, if you make it
(04:03):
through local qualifying and then sectional qualifying to be able
to play and see it up in the same tournament
as Scotti, Scheffler and Rory maclroy. Pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I know, Matt, you got Dan really excited with alan
great suggestions and I understand. Yeah, just getting to the Masters,
like when you are not supposed.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
To be there, when you are not one of those
guys that we all know their names. Yes, that must
be such a good feeling.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Let's go to Jake in Indiana. Great, who's your state, Jake,
Welcome to Cavino and Rich.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Hey Jake, Hey, guys, Dan, you've forgot NHL playoffs as well,
my friend. But what comes to mind for sports is
got to be like the G League players and like
the Triple A guys that are on the fringe of getting.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
And then sometimes get called.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
Up and then they're back down, but then they get
called up. And if you're like a lifelong Triple A
player and you got to play the sport you love
for your career and made pretty good money, I think
I think you can hang your hat on. That's my take. Thanks, guys,
appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, Jake, Thanks Jake.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I do too, Like baseball is such a hard sport
and I can't imagine dealing with Triple A with years
and years and years, and maybe you get a game
more two in the majors.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But that's a great point.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
If you can make a living out of playing your
favorite sport in triple A for years, I think that's
good enough.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Those September call ups to have that. There's when you
see just in late game situations when you put like
reserves in for the NCAA tournament. I always want the
reserve to do something so they so there's a stat.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
So their name is out there.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's over one field goal,
if they get a rebounder an assist, But to have
a stat just instead of just being into the game
and it says one minute played for that person, like
I would, I would want a stat. We've had that
in in the NBA. I remember there was a guy
played for the Lakers, and I'm completely blanking on his name,
but it's you know, spent thirteen years and trying to
(06:01):
get to the league and then finally you finally do it,
Like to be able to hang your jersey with your
name on a Lakers jersey that appeared in the NBA game.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, walking into a locker room with your stuff they're
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Oh yeah, that's gotta be good enough.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Absolutely, Jason Stewart, our executive producer. I know you have
a suggestion, but you do you have the name of.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
The andre Ingram.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's nice, that's what it says on Google.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
I'm not gonna act like I knew that. I'm pretty
good at googling. Iowa Sam, It's it's a rare trait.
But he's not very good at googling. I was listening yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
If that was necessary at googling talking here, but that's okay.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
But I was listening yesterday and something about Chariots a
Fire came up. Everyone knows the Chariots a Fire theme.
And Sam comes on air with conviction and says that
the song is called gun No. I think it's called
the Chariots a Fire thing.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Vangelous is the composer, and Sam in his ticket is
the title?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
He misgogled it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That wasn't even Google. That was well speaking on that show.
What are you talking about it? That was Covet and Rich.
You're driving home you heard that? Yes, yes, well great.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
Funny you should mentioned movie. This is not a sports thing,
but from the movie world. What about Academy Award nominee
EMP that'll follow you around the rust of your caron
a good way.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yes, it does follow It's like two time nominee. Oh yeah,
that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There's also drama to it because I don't know movies,
so I don't know if it's going to be nominee
or winner. Yeah, like so like Academy Award, nomine Academy Award.
How about that. By the way, someone made a graphic
of Rich Davis in Landline and they didn't tag me
(07:47):
in it, like it was my title of Rich's movie. Okay,
you could have tagged me in. Dude, Yes, dude, Jason.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Did you have a suggestion? So I play a lot
of poker. I've been known to play a lot of
tournament poker. So from the highest level of poker World
Series of Poker to my level the low level buy ends,
making the final table is often as prestigious as winning
it because, as everyone knows, when you get to the
final table it's usually chopped up anyways. So it's like,
(08:13):
and that's why there's an actual verb I tabled. I
tabled in this tournament. Making it to the final nine
or whatever is just as procedures. You would probably also
protect your stack. If you were to make SUPs lightly yeah,
so you could table. You wouldn't want to put.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
That at risk.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I got one.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I do my races. I'm not trying to be the
fastest in my half marathon.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, nobody. There's gonna be one way to live. I'm
trying to live.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Not dying.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
After a've been not die and just cross the finish line.
And I feel like anyone who's ever done a race,
when you cross that finish line, you're like, all right.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
That was good enough. Give me that metal.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I don't care if I'm the thousandth person that just
crossed this line.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
That was good enough.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
What about when they have to open the streets because
you're taking so long, you're taking.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
The cars and a good movie because I got to
do it by a certain amount of time.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh good, that's good. That's good. Just finishing is good.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Just finishing is good enough.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You mentioned poker, Jason, Let's go to Vegas. Keith is
in Vegas. Keith, you got a nominee. And when good
enough is well good enough? Here on Covino and Rich Jakeith.
Speaker 10 (09:21):
I appreciate you guys taking my call. I've been a
pirate fan to start Pirates. So nineteen sixty eight. If
they make the playoff, I'm in heaven. I'm in having
I don't care if they win it or not. They
made the playoff, God bless them.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
As Bob Prince would say, they had them all the
way one day.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I mean I get that. I get that feeling like
just getting to the playoffs. When you are a Pirates fan, Hey,
you you know at least you got Paul Skins right
now too.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yes, that's something.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's also the exact and Keith things of the call.
It's also the exact opposite of the Dodgers, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Right, a little bit, a little bit yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Like of life as a Dodger fan. The other side
is what Keith and the Pirates fans are dealing with.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
If the Clippers get to the finals, just I don't
need them to win. If the Clippers just make the finals,
that is good enough.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I think that that is a good point to make
because when I look at the Super Bowl, when I
look at the NFL, and I look at this past season,
I picked a Lions Bills super Bowl. But if the
Bills make it to the super Bowl, they have to
win it. Yeah, because their bugaboo. If you will is
(10:34):
going to the Super Bowl and losing four straight, whereas
the Lions have never been to the Super Bowl. So
there's different levels with that. So your point of Clippers
making the playoffs, so, yeah, they make the playoffs whatever it. Yeah,
going to an NBA finals completely When the Bucks made
the NBA Finals and luckily they ended up winning it
in twenty twenty one, especially after seeing how the past
three seasons have gone. Luckily they won, the Buck was
(10:59):
gold like. So they have your logo be like NBA Finals, Yes,
so cool, And I think that's the same thing with
the Final four of Yeah, you could get an you know,
a Florida SEC Tournament champion shirt or you know, Auburn
champions whatever, blah blah blah. But to be able to
just wear a Final four shirt with your team on it, huge,
(11:21):
huge deal.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I imagine NBA Finals with Clippers on it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Great. You'd buy so much.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Gear, so much gear, you guys, you wouldn't everyone would
get a shirt because I'd make you all rep it.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Dwayne is in Texas, Dwayne, when is good enough? Good enough?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
What do you got hey, Dwayne?
Speaker 11 (11:38):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that the Super Bowl teams the one
that lose doesn't get recognized as well. Because take a
look at but Grant.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Dan you might you know remember from Wisconsin and Sam
as well.
Speaker 11 (11:55):
But if he wins three of those, she's Andy Reid,
he's a know all these other ones that have what
multiple but you know, he just never got that recognition
with the Vikings. I think on the football side of its.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Unfortunate winning just winning one, just even like I know,
like three is a lot to ask of the four
that the Vikings lost. But even if Bud Grantch just
won one, we are we look at him differently. He's
was beloved in Minnesota, absolutely no doubt about it. Your
best Vikings coach of all time. That'll that'll never change.
But if you just would have gotten one, his name
(12:29):
and conversations of other coaches in the NFL compared to them,
same thing. Marv Levy could be the same way. I
mean just of Marv Levy. Great great coach, but you
don't have the Super Bowl to back it up. I
think it's there's amazing different ways to do it. I
was gonna bring on one. I don't know if it's
(12:49):
if it's fair or not. Which how about getting your
license like you don't have to get like I passed
my driver's licensed tests granted again, he meant, and from Wisconsin.
My birthdays in January, So I had to take my
test on January roads in Wisconsin, and I passed. I
(13:10):
passed by two points. I passed first. I didn't have
to take it again or anything. That was good enough.
And guess what I drove out by myself that day,
or or at least Mom was writing shotgun because you
had to take me to it. I couldn't just pull
up by myself. That would have been odd. But the
point being of you don't need to ace your driver's test,
(13:31):
you just need just pass.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Fail, which is and that's what As to why people
suck at driving, well, we probably should be a little
we probably should be a little better on that.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't even know if people have licenses, you know,
sometimes with how they I don't think.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
How's it fair though, to make you take a driving
test when it's like wintery roads out like, yeah, that's
like extra extra testing of your skills.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You would think, but then you realize that, yeah, you
have to drive in it every day so your models
will test in it. So that's that's why it makes sense,
that's true, but I don't know if it doesn't fit.
It's more of the past fail sort of do you
think it fits? Yeah, but it works?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah. Well then in college, right, just passing your class.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And then I sold t shirts that you know that
said past driving test, just like a final four on
it as well.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It was a gold gold trim.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'll tell you what like that. If you get your license,
it's like now when you renew it and you got
to get your picture.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh, I just did that.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You're more cognizant of maybe like what you're wearing or
going to wear, and how you're going to look. But
I don't think when you're sixteen years old, you don't
put that into account. And then if you do get
the call, it's picture time and that crappy shirt you
wore is going to be with you for the next
six years.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
I didn't get my driver's license until I turned eighteen,
and I didn't even want it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
My mom forced it. I just wanted to stop driving
me around.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I went in volleyball practice clothes and my hair was
like up in a braid to the side, like eighties.
That was my picture up until recently that they made
me change it because they were like, you look eighteen,
and I'm like I was.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Have I told you my theory on driver's license pictures,
Just like in sports for graphics, I think you should
take a smiling one and a frowning one. So if
something bad happens because of you, you have the frown
but if something bad happens to you, at least you
have a smiling picture on it.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
We can make it where like if you move it,
you see both sides of it, Like you know that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
What is like like a hologram? No, like holo hologram? Okay, yeah, where.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You put both of the pictures on your license and
you can move it and see both of.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I just want them on file.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
No, I just want it on my license now.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Mark tweets in in competition barbecue World, I now of
a craving for ribs. There is a grand champion and
reserve grand champion. The reserve is really cool against great competition.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Like that's good enough.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I made hey second, yeah, second best out of
two hundred competition grillers. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, it's funny you mentioned barbecue. I watch Barbecue Pitmasters,
which is a great Oh. Now it's just all reruns.
They don't do any new episodes now, but I still
get excited, Like they have three competitors and then if
those three competitors win, they move on in the bracket
and there's you know, a whole deal. But I feel
bad for a second. But in the real scheme of things,
(16:15):
there's like two hundred people competing.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
The random question about that can you rewatch that show?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Like, if you know you've already seen the episode, are
you sitting through it?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Is that one of those because it's not about knowing
the result, Okay, it's about oh yeah, this is how
they do that.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
You feel like you're learning a little bait.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Barbecue with their chicken.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Okay, okay, gotcha yea.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And some guys are total, you know, like weird. Also
you just root against them. Other people are cool, but
some are just you're like, gosh, I hope that guy loses,
and they're like, oh darn.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
He won, so it must be some good barbecue.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
But yeah, good times, good times. She's watching Bela, So
I'm dan byer Sam. Did you have any you good?
You good on everything?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, you could just say that the all of Iowhawkeye
Sports minus wrestling are good enough enough to get to
a bowl game, but get to the Rose Bowl and
lose its NCA tournament and lose?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah it didn't. Last year's the championship games with Caitlyn
Clark League. Is that good enough?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It was more than good enough.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And I I mean, like, of course they wanted to
win the whole thing, but they're like back to back
final fours, but like national championship appearances. Yeah yeah, but
like to get over the hump with an S against
two SEC teams in a rows?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's tough.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
And how about the New York Jets just making it
to the playoffs? I think of all the North American
professional sports teams, they're the ones that presently have the
longest playoff droves.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Sure, how about bowl game making it to a ball?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I was just gonna say, didn't the sam just stumble
into one?
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (17:37):
At some point winning the Rose Bowl was prestigious. Yeah, yeah,
it didn't mean you had to win the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But there's also the point of bowl eligible. And now
Bowl eligible is a pretty loose term, sometimes like under
five hundred Yeah, and sometimes teams don't have enough players
because everybody transfers now but to the point of until
other people become Bowl eligible. But that is that is
that is a lower low or bar. But I think
I think it fits in our conversation. Great, all right,
(18:05):
but no, you mentioned the Rose Bowl. Iowa's Bowl eligible
a lot. They just end up in Tampa or Orlando.
We'll get to the Rose Bowl, but they'll get shill act. Yes, yes,
and me and winning the Rose Bull now is not
what he used to be so well now it is.
It's just different. Yeah, you're right, You're one hundred percent right.
But like Ohio State winning the Rose Bul this year
was pretty awesome because then they went to the next round.
(18:27):
But it's not like they're Rose bul champs. It's you're
advancing in the playoffs. Great, great talk, guys.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, like that's good.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, she's Wati Blanio. So I'm Dan Byer, Jason Stewart's here, Iowa, Sam,

Eight is not enough for one NFL superstar and he's.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Saying the number eight not like some one like they
did really good.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
No, but that tells you the age. Jason Stewart now
exactly what I was talking about when I said eight
is enough? Right, So did Isaac Lohonkron.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah, I just want to make Manty in her.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Thirties did not realize I was referencing a late seventies
early eighties TV show. I believe that's about the timeframe
of eight is enough.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, no, but she thought ate and I was talking
ei ght right e I E I O. She is

in the second, but I do want to point this out.
Jason Stewart and myself are in a survivor Baseball Wow,
and you can do multiple entries. You pick a team
each week and if they win half their games or more,
you get a win, and you keep going three strikes,
(20:03):
so it's not like one in your dog. Three strikes
are out the year. Both Jason and I stuck out
our next in week one. He went with Oakland. I
went with the Rockies. Both were swept in their series
to start. So now either team, as they play in Colorado,
has to sweep the other. They're playing in basically snow
(20:23):
flurries right now in Denver, A's lead the Rockies. Isaac,
you don't have to give this score on your update.
We'll take care of it three to two in the
eighth inning. But that's why we have A's Rockies on
one of our screens.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
It's a battle of who could do worse. But to
make it clear to the listeners, one one of our
teams has to sweep for.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Us not to lose.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Are you guys a team together?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
He has the as I see, so you had to
pick them again like for the second week in a row.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
No, just to make it no, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It's you just picked them for the week, but they're
both oh and three. So in their next series, which
is going on right now, not have to go. They
have to win all three to get three and three.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
That's where I got confused. I was literally just taking
it series by series, got you okay.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And so right now the A's are leading, So that's
good for Jason, but that means in the A's have
to sweep the weekend. If the Rockies win tomorrow, we
both lose and then out. It's just one on one
of our entries. We both had an entry on the
Tigers who won today and moved on. But it's a fun, way,
fun way. We even reeled Ryan Berschinger into.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
This, nice nice because fantasy baseball is hard, like it's
you know, I did it once years and years ago,
and I was like, never again, don't ever ask me
to do this.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Too much work it is.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
It's too much work. NBA is too much work. Baseball
is even worse.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I can't I haven't played NBA fantasy in a while,
but I don't know how I would deal with back
to backs and guys not playing.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Oh yeah, it's too much. It's way too much.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's what makes NFL It's fantasy football that much better.
Speaking of NFL and fantasy football, Lamar Jackson is one
of the best fantasy players that you could get, one
of the best players in the NFL, and he picked
up another w this offseason topping Dale Earnhardt Junior. We'll
explain after Isaac Lohenkron gives us the latest of what
(22:14):
is happening on this Friday. Good Friday is two weeks
from now. Still a pretty good Friday though right now.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Sure you know when I was coming in this morning,
I was planning to heavily focus on today's clash between
the A's.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
And then we stole your lead.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
But thankfully coming to the rescue, you guessed it. John
Morant guest today the NBA find him seventy five thousand
dollars for making repeated finger gun gestures in multiple games
this week, first on Tuesday against Golden State. He was
then warned by the league, only to do it again
in last night's game at Miami. The NFL seven time
(22:56):
Pro Bowl receiver Julio Jones officially announced his retire today.
Jones spent thirteen seasons in the NFL, most recently with
the Philadelphia Eagles. In twenty twenty three. Los Angeles Chargers
today signed free agent quarterback Trey Lance baseball. The New
York Mets won their home openers, shutting out the Blue
Jays five to nothing. Pete Alonso a two run home
(23:16):
run in the first inning, Juan Soto and RBI double
in the sixth inning in his first home game as
a Met. Cubs over San Diego three to one at
Regular for the Padres first loss of the season after
a seven and oh start. This means that the only
remaining undefeated team in Major League Baseball. I thought I
had it here.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It's the Dodgers. Thanks the Dodgers, I got you. Don't worry.
Appreciate that defending champions. Thank you Dodgers.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Thank you for coming to the rescue. There you get
to save going on right now. The New York Yankees
up seven to one at Pittsburgh in the top of
the seventh inning, and the Giants and Mariners tied at
five in the bottom of the fifth inning in the
Bay back to you guys.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Nothing says traditional baseball like the Yankees pirates. I can't stand.
I assume it's the home opener for Pittsburgh. I think so,
but interleague play. It just annoys me when the Dodgers
had their home opener against the Tigers. It was weird.
I just yeah, just dank it on board.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
Sorry, but does Monci know your your scheduled proposal for
the NFL along these lines.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
So on the Sunday show that I do with Mike Harmon,
because the league meetings this past week they were going
to talk about the eight eighteen game schedule. I think
that the NFL should do what Baseball used to do
and have NFC only play the NFC, and then the
AFC only play the AFC the whole year. Yes, so
you could have fifteen games against everybody, and then you
(24:44):
just would have three more games against your division and
that would be eighteen. And then when you get a
Super Bowl, you truly have no.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Way of preparing.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, of realizing, Wait, the Eagles and Chiefs haven't played
each other this year, they didn't play each other last year.
How they're going to match up? It would be a total.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
That would be dramatic.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yes, it'll never happen.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
It won't happen because people now want to be able
to see certain players that are not you know, that's
what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
We've got breaking news from Colorado. The Rockies have tied
it in a snowstorm. Truly. I don't know who just scored,
but he's got rosy cheeks because of how.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Cod is former Dodger Farmer.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Farmer.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I was about to say Jordan Farmer, but that was
an NBA player.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah, that was far far, far far, Kyle, hold on
and hold on. We may have we may have a
hold on rule double situation.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Why are you diving, bro.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Because the ball No, no, they're not calling it now.
They're going to review it plays under review. It is snowy,
it is that that been an inside the park home run.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think that's what it was. Yeah, he ran all
the way around.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Kyle Farmer, red cheeks.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
All right, we'll leave the Rockies A's game. And by
the way, I apologize to you if you're listening, we
took sixty seconds of your life away talking about Rockies
in A's. We're going to talk about more bigger issues.
Lamar Jackson has won a legal battle over Dale or
and our junior. Lamar Jackson is undefeated so far in
(26:19):
the twenty twenty five season. This was a battle over
the two entities use of the number eight.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
The number eight and.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Dale earnhard Junior just a few hours ago, posted through
the United States Trademark in Patent Office, they successfully secure
the rights to the stylized eight. Therefore, they will be
moving away from the original JRM eight that they have
used since twenty nineteen. They're looking forward to the remainder
(26:51):
of an already successful season, signed Dale Junior. That was
the message. But Lamar Jackson claimed that Earnhard Junr Was
infringing on his trademark of the use of number eight,
and therefore you had Dale Earnhard Junior and Lamar Jackson
going head to head. In the end, Jackson ends up
(27:13):
prevailing because he gets his way, and we're talking. What
we're talking about here is basically an eight that is
in italics, right, It's just a matter of what font
you chose. And Lamar Jackson's people felt that it was
too close to what Dale Earnhard Dale EARNERD Juniors was
too close to what Lamars was and in the end,
(27:33):
Lamar wins. And I find the whole thing absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
It is a little bit silly because this is just
a visual thing that they.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Think it looks similar.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Right, Yes, so you can still use the eight, is
what they're saying, so it is a bit silly, and
it's just kind of like, I don't I don't think
people are going to be confused over Lamar's brand versus
a NASCAR brand. You're right, Like, no one's going to
confuse and be like, oh, I thought this was dale Er.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Horror jokes on them, right, Lamar? You know, hey, if
somebody's like, I, you know, want some dale or and
our junior stuff, yeah, I'm gonna buy this number eight stuff,
and it's Lamar Jackson's like, hey, just as well. I
know he feels like it could happen the other way,
but it goes both ways on.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
It, right, And I just don't see how anybody would
mix the two up.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
And who's owning numbers?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I don't know, and I'm bad with numbers, so like aside,
honestly from my birthday and from Michael Jordan's number, I
know no one's number there.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
There By the way, it was ruled the ground rule
double so the Rockies did not tie it against.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Oh good, good, thanks for the update.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Back to the matter at hand, I would also argue
that in Lamar Jackson had a similar issue with Troy
Aikman and wanted to put out a product with the
number eight saying hold up, and if you read the
stories and how that came about. Lamar didn't really want
to talk about it, but it is the point that
Troy Aikman had been in the NFL two or three
(29:03):
decades before Lamar Jackson ever was wore the number eight.
Wasn't the only person with Steve Young wore number eight.
Rich would have told you that and then a heartbeat
if he was in today. There are other people that
have worn number eight, and so for Lamar Jackson to
feel like there's this ownership of number eight is funny
to me, considering I don't even think he's the most
(29:23):
popular person in Baltimore to wear number eight because cal
Ripken Junior would have worn number eight for the Orioles.
So I don't know. All Lamar could go and tell
everybody you can't use eight, you can't use eight, but
eight is mine, you know, And I'm like, okay, all
right here, isn't eight enough for everyone?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Oh so Kobe Bryant was eight, and I feel like
a lot of people still think of Kobe as eight.
I know he changed it to twenty four, but now
you see either both numbers, but a lot of the
original og Kobe fans have eight.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yes, that's how it started. I feel like if you
wear a Kobe eight jersey, yes you're more legit than
if you wear a twenty four.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Absolutely, absolutely, There's just this It's different.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
It was a different time.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
But yes, if you haven't ate Kobe jersey, you have
been there since the beginning, since the fro remember.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
When he had that little frow. Loved him, loved him, Well,
I hated him, but I loved him.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I was never a huge Kobe fan either. The funny
thing was was he wore twenty four and the last
player to wear twenty four before he won was Jim Jackson,
Who's my all time favorite player. JJ had like a
little stint with the Lakers at the end of his career,
but he wore twenty four. When I think of twenty four,
you know who I think of?
Speaker 10 (30:36):
Who?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Jeff Gordon. I know everybody in the car is screaming
Ken Griffy, Yeah what But I think of Jeff Gordon?
And what makes this so ridiculous in the whole thought
process is NASCAR. Nascar I think has more of an
argument to secure numbers in the NFL does because you
(31:01):
have thirty two teams in the NFL, where you could
have thirty two different players wearing the number eight, right,
So to have Lamar be the only one plus all
the generations of I mean, we just named Troy Aikman
and Steve Young and everybody else who wore eight. But NASCAR,
(31:21):
to me is crazy because it's not that Dale Earnhard
Junior owns number eight in the Cup Series or he
had eighty eight in the Cup Series. It's not that
he owns it. It's the race team that owns it.
And I always thought like it was always weird to
me to see somebody else driving a number three car
(31:44):
because I always felt that that was Dale Senior's car.
But NASCAR, that's not how they do it. That's not
how it's done. So it's crazy to think that Dale
Earnhard Junior where Richard Petty's forty three. But you can
see the forty three car out there, you can see
the car, you see William Byron and driving Jeff Gordon's
twenty four car. Guys change numbers and change teams and
(32:07):
driving different cars, so it's it's not even like their number,
even though at times you think of like Matt Kensith
was seventeen for so long and then guess what, he
switches race teams and he's no longer seventeen. So NASCAR
doesn't even have a really big say over it, even
though there are people that you lock in with their numbers,
and I actually think that they should. I think that
you shouldn't have a team designed if you have a
(32:29):
car that's two eighty two because you're running out of numbers,
who cares at least at least it's not retired and
not some weird drivers driving in the number three.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
And it's a giant car, so you can put any
number on it.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Now, these the negative numbers just do negative.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
These drivers like they don't have that number even on
I was gonna say a uniform, but it's not a
uniform there, correct, right, Like they don't have anything on
the car, it's just on the car.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
I remember I went through a NASCAR phase and I
for whatever reason why Jimmy Johnson, and when I wanted
to sound cool, I'd be like, I'm a fan of
the forty eight. It's a way of like being cool
with NASCAR.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Fans, right, they get it, By the way, Jimmy Johnson
retired and then came back in now driving the eighty
four car, So there goes. Didn't even know that. Yeah, no,
just it's up on my graphic of NASCAR drivers. But
a silly, silly fight over the number eight. And when
we talk about the difference of the eight, Lamar's is
(33:25):
like italics at like ten degrees, yes, and now Dale
Earnhardts is like at eighteen degrees. So good luck just
trying to find the difference, right, But the trademark office says,
all right, Lamar, you get to keep yours. Dale, just
just put yours in bold and turn it a little
bit more.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
And you know what, they're probably not going to be
next to each other at the store, so you probably
won't have an issue.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yeah right, it'll probably NFL all the way over.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
There and then NASCAR over there on the second floor, well.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Maybe on the first floor in some spots. You know,
it's not gonna be by the tires, like, it's still
gonna be the apparel portion of it, just because it's driving.

or so? Who was it? Sublime? Sublime? Yeah? Doing cover
of it? All right?
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Cover?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Thank you Sublime? Good job, Dan, great job.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Do you want to tell the people why Jason?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Why why do you have at the survivor?
Speaker 3 (35:38):
What's up? Why do you have a sudden have a
disgusted look? I just don't like Sublime? Oh okay, got
music like I cannot stand it?
Speaker 10 (35:45):
Really.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Oh that's a separate conversation.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I'm just not but music slob. But it was I
knew it was like a two syllable, one named, one
word band. So like Primus and Sublime. I no, no,
they're not the same blind but supply.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
A big shout out to Big Rig Rob who listens
to us and always checks in via Blue Sky where
you can find them now, Dan Bayer, that's bd y
e R. We started the show talking about John Morant.
He says, the thing is crazy, and it's not that
players in the NBA don't fear Adam Silver. It's the
fact that they don't respect Adam Silver. And that's the
biggest problem.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
He's not wrong, But don't fear and respect go hand
in hand.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I think there's another level, a level of Okay, I'm
not afraid of you, but I respect you. But if
I were to say, like, I'm not afraid of you
and I don't respect you, it's even worse. Yes, it's
still worse.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, that's what Big Rig Rob is getting at gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
What's big rig Manzi going to be watching this weekend?
Men's Final four, Women's Final four? NBA?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
All of the above, all of the I'm gonna try
and get all of the above in the NBA. You know,
I love the NBA, and it's so close in the
Western Conference that I'll definitely be keeping an eye on.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
But of course final four action.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
I mean this with all sincerity, not anything of taking
a shot at all. But are you really going to
sit down and watch the Women's Final four tonight? Is
that like a must see because it is a different
feel without the Kitlyn Clark effect.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
I'm not going to be paying attention to it closely,
but I will be going to a happy hour with
some girlfriends and it will be on because we're going with.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Sports bar Iowa Sam. I don't want to say that
he is our resident. He's just channel the final fours
as well.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I was just switching on the women's Final four here
starting about eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
But your Iowahaw guys aren't in the Final four this year.
They were knocked out in the NCAA tournament by Oklahoma.
Is that they lost to around six matchup. Yes, we
saw ratings now the numbers down fifty two percent was
the overall number from the Elite eight a year ago.
Obviously the Iowa LSU game had that huge number, but
everything else. I also, I also just feel that the
(38:32):
Caitlyn Clark effect, Juju Watkins.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Not nothing not playing.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I think the Caitlin Clark effect is the biggest part.
But I do think that if Juju Watkins is playing,
they'd get a little bit of bump of numbers, but
not be able to close the gap for what they
had a year ago. But are you going to watch
sam as this? I mean yeah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
I mean it's the final four of you know, so
it's like I watched games earlier in the tournament of
the women's tournament. I'm absolutely gonna watch the final four.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
I agree with Dan though, like I don't think I
don't think new viewers are necessarily jumping in to watch
Yukon like Yukon is Yukon, Like nobody's surprised about.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
It's interesting thing. Jason, are you going to watch? I
just want to ask his thoughts.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
I'm not going to watch and it's great because it's
the barometer that I was looking for Page Beckers supposed
to be better than Kaitlyn Clark athletically and yukonnor in the
final four, and I'm not going to watch it. I
watched the entire thing last year with Caitlin.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
I think that Yukon is presented that consistency that and
and maybe South Carolina as well. But I mean, Yukon's
made it like seventeen out of the last eighteen years,
so it's so I think there's I think there's a
point that you make that's fair that like, well, they're
always in it, so why would you care exactly. There's
the other point of if you are going to watch it,
(39:47):
at least you know what's there. Absolutely, I probably won't
watch the women tonight, but I'll watch the title game
on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Oh absolutely, yes, no, yes, absolutely. It's a little bit unfair,
but I think it's just people are like, yeah, they're there,
always there.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (39:59):

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I hope you're having a great Friday, maybe already starting
the weekend, great weekend of hoops. I told you about
the magic of April. I told you about this.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I think you have you share.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It falls within my sports calendar, yes, but sports fans
may or may not know this. April is packed with greatness.
First weekend Final Four, next weekend Masters, next weekend start
of the NBA Playoffs, next weekend NFL Draft. After that,
you're in the May.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's crazy, man, It's gonna go by in the blink
of an eye.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
April Swear It's at Monci Wow.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
We are broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com Studiostarrek

fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Tarek dot com the way Tirebuine should be what in April.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I mentioned the Final Four as part of that great
April run. And on Monday night, one team will cut
down the nets as national champions. But that doesn't mean
that the other three teams are losers, not at all.
Maybe on that Monday night there will be one team
that wishes they were cutting down the nets. But as
time goes on, you'll be looked at as the team
that went to the Final Four, and that is good enough.
(01:34):
In college basketball, it's yeah, you'd love to win championships.
I think your point of how we look at greatness,
like when we judge coaches, I think that there is
something to the fact of the randomness of the one
game scenario. Anything can happen. But I do think like
for someone like Tom Izo who's been to so many
final fours and only has the one championship, where you're
(01:58):
kind of looking back and that credit tom Izzo, but
you're like, man, shouldn't you have like two or three?
You know, Bob Night won three championships. We remember Jim
Bayham and Syracuse going so many times in getting close
and then finally breaking through in two thousand and three.
Because his happened later in his career, maybe we didn't
look at him needing more. But I feel maybe we
unfairly treat tom Izzo in that way. But still, you
(02:20):
talk about Michigan State, they are a premier program in
the country and it's because of all of their trips
to the final four.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
I actually agree with what you said after you mentioned marketing.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It's a love festival.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It is because I'm like, you're right, Why does final
four sound so much better than saying the semi finals
like semi finals, you're just gonna go. It's the semi finals,
final four. It's like all the fun you.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Won your region. Yes, made it to the to the
to the final stage. So we wanted to hear from
you out there, whether at be on X or Blue
Sky or via the phones where Matt is joining us
from Alaska. Matt, welcome into Cavino and Rich. How you
doing on this Friday?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Hey Matt, Hey, how are you guys today?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Awesome, chilling, awesome.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I think I think in the world of sports, maybe
being a big golfer, uh, if you are a US
amateur and you play up through your local ranks and
actually make it to play in the US Open itself,
and you even make the cut I think that is, yes, incredible,
But think about the ones that in the last couple
of years. Was that a couple of guys finishing like
the top twenty. I think one of them finished in
(03:23):
the top ten. That has got to be a moment
in life that ye're like, well, I wish I would
have won, but this is good.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And and on that level, Matt, great recommendation.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And golf, when you when you're a US amateur and
you play in the US Amateur tournament, the final two
get automatic bids to the Masters, it's.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Got to be good happen if you make it.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's it. That's the point, Like, like, you may
lose the final match and not be US Amateur champion.
The consolation prize is you're teeing it up in Augusta
in eight months. Like that's that's the that's the awesome
and nine months that's that's the awesome part of it.
It's yeah, you maybe didn't win, but you get to
go to Augusta. To his point, if you make it
(04:03):
through local qualifying and then sectional qualifying to be able
to play and see it up in the same tournament
as Scotti, Scheffler and Rory maclroy. Pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I know, Matt, you got Dan really excited with alan
great suggestions and I understand. Yeah, just getting to the Masters,
like when you are not supposed.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
To be there, when you are not one of those
guys that we all know their names. Yes, that must
be such a good feeling.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Let's go to Jake in Indiana. Great, who's your state, Jake,
Welcome to Cavino and Rich.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Hey Jake, Hey, guys, Dan, you've forgot NHL playoffs as well,
my friend. But what comes to mind for sports is
got to be like the G League players and like
the Triple A guys that are on the fringe of getting.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
And then sometimes get called.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
Up and then they're back down, but then they get
called up. And if you're like a lifelong Triple A
player and you got to play the sport you love
for your career and made pretty good money, I think
I think you can hang your hat on. That's my take. Thanks, guys,
appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, Jake, Thanks Jake.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I do too, Like baseball is such a hard sport
and I can't imagine dealing with Triple A with years
and years and years, and maybe you get a game
more two in the majors.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But that's a great point.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
If you can make a living out of playing your
favorite sport in triple A for years, I think that's
good enough.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Those September call ups to have that. There's when you
see just in late game situations when you put like
reserves in for the NCAA tournament. I always want the
reserve to do something so they so there's a stat.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
So their name is out there.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's over one field goal,
if they get a rebounder an assist, But to have
a stat just instead of just being into the game
and it says one minute played for that person, like
I would, I would want a stat. We've had that
in in the NBA. I remember there was a guy
played for the Lakers, and I'm completely blanking on his name,
but it's you know, spent thirteen years and trying to
(06:01):
get to the league and then finally you finally do it,
Like to be able to hang your jersey with your
name on a Lakers jersey that appeared in the NBA game.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah, walking into a locker room with your stuff they're
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Oh yeah, that's gotta be good enough.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Absolutely, Jason Stewart, our executive producer. I know you have
a suggestion, but you do you have the name of.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
The andre Ingram.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's nice, that's what it says on Google.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
I'm not gonna act like I knew that. I'm pretty
good at googling. Iowa Sam, It's it's a rare trait.
But he's not very good at googling. I was listening yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
If that was necessary at googling talking here, but that's okay.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
But I was listening yesterday and something about Chariots a
Fire came up. Everyone knows the Chariots a Fire theme.
And Sam comes on air with conviction and says that
the song is called gun No. I think it's called
the Chariots a Fire thing.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Vangelous is the composer, and Sam in his ticket is
the title?
Speaker 8 (06:59):
He misgogled it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That wasn't even Google. That was well speaking on that show.
What are you talking about it? That was Covet and Rich.
You're driving home you heard that? Yes, yes, well great.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
Funny you should mentioned movie. This is not a sports thing,
but from the movie world. What about Academy Award nominee
EMP that'll follow you around the rust of your caron
a good way.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yes, it does follow It's like two time nominee. Oh yeah,
that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There's also drama to it because I don't know movies,
so I don't know if it's going to be nominee
or winner. Yeah, like so like Academy Award, nomine Academy Award.
How about that. By the way, someone made a graphic
of Rich Davis in Landline and they didn't tag me
(07:47):
in it, like it was my title of Rich's movie. Okay,
you could have tagged me in. Dude, Yes, dude, Jason.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Did you have a suggestion? So I play a lot
of poker. I've been known to play a lot of
tournament poker. So from the highest level of poker World
Series of Poker to my level the low level buy ends,
making the final table is often as prestigious as winning
it because, as everyone knows, when you get to the
final table it's usually chopped up anyways. So it's like,
(08:13):
and that's why there's an actual verb I tabled. I
tabled in this tournament. Making it to the final nine
or whatever is just as procedures. You would probably also
protect your stack. If you were to make SUPs lightly yeah,
so you could table. You wouldn't want to put.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
That at risk.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
I got one.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I do my races. I'm not trying to be the
fastest in my half marathon.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah, nobody. There's gonna be one way to live. I'm
trying to live.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Not dying.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
After a've been not die and just cross the finish line.
And I feel like anyone who's ever done a race,
when you cross that finish line, you're like, all right.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
That was good enough. Give me that metal.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I don't care if I'm the thousandth person that just
crossed this line.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
That was good enough.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
What about when they have to open the streets because
you're taking so long, you're taking.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
The cars and a good movie because I got to
do it by a certain amount of time.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh good, that's good. That's good. Just finishing is good.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Just finishing is good enough.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You mentioned poker, Jason, Let's go to Vegas. Keith is
in Vegas. Keith, you got a nominee. And when good
enough is well good enough? Here on Covino and Rich Jakeith.
Speaker 10 (09:21):
I appreciate you guys taking my call. I've been a
pirate fan to start Pirates. So nineteen sixty eight. If
they make the playoff, I'm in heaven. I'm in having
I don't care if they win it or not. They
made the playoff, God bless them.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
As Bob Prince would say, they had them all the
way one day.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I mean I get that. I get that feeling like
just getting to the playoffs. When you are a Pirates fan, Hey,
you you know at least you got Paul Skins right
now too.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yes, that's something.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's also the exact and Keith things of the call.
It's also the exact opposite of the Dodgers, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Right, a little bit, a little bit yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Like of life as a Dodger fan. The other side
is what Keith and the Pirates fans are dealing with.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
If the Clippers get to the finals, just I don't
need them to win. If the Clippers just make the finals,
that is good enough.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I think that that is a good point to make
because when I look at the Super Bowl, when I
look at the NFL, and I look at this past season,
I picked a Lions Bills super Bowl. But if the
Bills make it to the super Bowl, they have to
win it. Yeah, because their bugaboo. If you will is
(10:34):
going to the Super Bowl and losing four straight, whereas
the Lions have never been to the Super Bowl. So
there's different levels with that. So your point of Clippers
making the playoffs, so, yeah, they make the playoffs whatever it. Yeah,
going to an NBA finals completely When the Bucks made
the NBA Finals and luckily they ended up winning it
in twenty twenty one, especially after seeing how the past
three seasons have gone. Luckily they won, the Buck was
(10:59):
gold like. So they have your logo be like NBA Finals, Yes,
so cool, And I think that's the same thing with
the Final four of Yeah, you could get an you know,
a Florida SEC Tournament champion shirt or you know, Auburn
champions whatever, blah blah blah. But to be able to
just wear a Final four shirt with your team on it, huge,
(11:21):
huge deal.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I imagine NBA Finals with Clippers on it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Great. You'd buy so much.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Gear, so much gear, you guys, you wouldn't everyone would
get a shirt because I'd make you all rep it.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Dwayne is in Texas, Dwayne, when is good enough? Good enough?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
What do you got hey, Dwayne?
Speaker 11 (11:38):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that the Super Bowl teams the one
that lose doesn't get recognized as well. Because take a
look at but Grant.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Dan you might you know remember from Wisconsin and Sam
as well.
Speaker 11 (11:55):
But if he wins three of those, she's Andy Reid,
he's a know all these other ones that have what
multiple but you know, he just never got that recognition
with the Vikings. I think on the football side of its.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Unfortunate winning just winning one, just even like I know,
like three is a lot to ask of the four
that the Vikings lost. But even if Bud Grantch just
won one, we are we look at him differently. He's
was beloved in Minnesota, absolutely no doubt about it. Your
best Vikings coach of all time. That'll that'll never change.
But if you just would have gotten one, his name
(12:29):
and conversations of other coaches in the NFL compared to them,
same thing. Marv Levy could be the same way. I
mean just of Marv Levy. Great great coach, but you
don't have the Super Bowl to back it up. I
think it's there's amazing different ways to do it. I
was gonna bring on one. I don't know if it's
(12:49):
if it's fair or not. Which how about getting your
license like you don't have to get like I passed
my driver's licensed tests granted again, he meant, and from Wisconsin.
My birthdays in January, So I had to take my
test on January roads in Wisconsin, and I passed. I
(13:10):
passed by two points. I passed first. I didn't have
to take it again or anything. That was good enough.
And guess what I drove out by myself that day,
or or at least Mom was writing shotgun because you
had to take me to it. I couldn't just pull
up by myself. That would have been odd. But the
point being of you don't need to ace your driver's test,
(13:31):
you just need just pass.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Fail, which is and that's what As to why people
suck at driving, well, we probably should be a little
we probably should be a little better on that.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't even know if people have licenses, you know,
sometimes with how they I don't think.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
How's it fair though, to make you take a driving
test when it's like wintery roads out like, yeah, that's
like extra extra testing of your skills.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
You would think, but then you realize that, yeah, you
have to drive in it every day so your models
will test in it. So that's that's why it makes sense,
that's true, but I don't know if it doesn't fit.
It's more of the past fail sort of do you
think it fits? Yeah, but it works?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah. Well then in college, right, just passing your class.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And then I sold t shirts that you know that
said past driving test, just like a final four on
it as well.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It was a gold gold trim.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'll tell you what like that. If you get your license,
it's like now when you renew it and you got
to get your picture.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh, I just did that.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You're more cognizant of maybe like what you're wearing or
going to wear, and how you're going to look. But
I don't think when you're sixteen years old, you don't
put that into account. And then if you do get
the call, it's picture time and that crappy shirt you
wore is going to be with you for the next
six years.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
I didn't get my driver's license until I turned eighteen,
and I didn't even want it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
My mom forced it. I just wanted to stop driving
me around.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I went in volleyball practice clothes and my hair was
like up in a braid to the side, like eighties.
That was my picture up until recently that they made
me change it because they were like, you look eighteen,
and I'm like I was.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Have I told you my theory on driver's license pictures,
Just like in sports for graphics, I think you should
take a smiling one and a frowning one. So if
something bad happens because of you, you have the frown
but if something bad happens to you, at least you
have a smiling picture on it.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
We can make it where like if you move it,
you see both sides of it, Like you know that.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
What is like like a hologram? No, like holo hologram? Okay, yeah, where.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You put both of the pictures on your license and
you can move it and see both of.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I just want them on file.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
No, I just want it on my license now.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Mark tweets in in competition barbecue World, I now of
a craving for ribs. There is a grand champion and
reserve grand champion. The reserve is really cool against great competition.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Like that's good enough.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I made hey second, yeah, second best out of
two hundred competition grillers. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, it's funny you mentioned barbecue. I watch Barbecue Pitmasters,
which is a great Oh. Now it's just all reruns.
They don't do any new episodes now, but I still
get excited, Like they have three competitors and then if
those three competitors win, they move on in the bracket
and there's you know, a whole deal. But I feel
bad for a second. But in the real scheme of things,
(16:15):
there's like two hundred people competing.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
The random question about that can you rewatch that show?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Like, if you know you've already seen the episode, are
you sitting through it?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Is that one of those because it's not about knowing
the result, Okay, it's about oh yeah, this is how
they do that.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
You feel like you're learning a little bait.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Barbecue with their chicken.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Okay, okay, gotcha yea.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And some guys are total, you know, like weird. Also
you just root against them. Other people are cool, but
some are just you're like, gosh, I hope that guy loses,
and they're like, oh darn.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
He won, so it must be some good barbecue.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
But yeah, good times, good times. She's watching Bela, So
I'm dan byer Sam. Did you have any you good?
You good on everything?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, you could just say that the all of Iowhawkeye
Sports minus wrestling are good enough enough to get to
a bowl game, but get to the Rose Bowl and
lose its NCA tournament and lose?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah it didn't. Last year's the championship games with Caitlyn
Clark League. Is that good enough?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
It was more than good enough.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And I I mean, like, of course they wanted to
win the whole thing, but they're like back to back
final fours, but like national championship appearances. Yeah yeah, but
like to get over the hump with an S against
two SEC teams in a rows?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's tough.
Speaker 9 (17:22):
And how about the New York Jets just making it
to the playoffs? I think of all the North American
professional sports teams, they're the ones that presently have the
longest playoff droves.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Sure, how about bowl game making it to a ball?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I was just gonna say, didn't the sam just stumble
into one?
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (17:37):
At some point winning the Rose Bowl was prestigious. Yeah, yeah,
it didn't mean you had to win the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But there's also the point of bowl eligible. And now
Bowl eligible is a pretty loose term, sometimes like under
five hundred Yeah, and sometimes teams don't have enough players
because everybody transfers now but to the point of until
other people become Bowl eligible. But that is that is
that is a lower low or bar. But I think
I think it fits in our conversation. Great, all right,
(18:05):
but no, you mentioned the Rose Bowl. Iowa's Bowl eligible
a lot. They just end up in Tampa or Orlando.
We'll get to the Rose Bowl, but they'll get shill act. Yes, yes,
and me and winning the Rose Bull now is not
what he used to be so well now it is.
It's just different. Yeah, you're right, You're one hundred percent right.
But like Ohio State winning the Rose Bul this year
was pretty awesome because then they went to the next round.
(18:27):
But it's not like they're Rose bul champs. It's you're
advancing in the playoffs. Great, great talk, guys.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, like that's good.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, she's Wati Blanio. So I'm Dan Byer, Jason Stewart's here, Iowa, Sam,
Isaac Glow and Crown. We are hanging out for Cavino

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Eight is not enough for one NFL superstar and he's.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Saying the number eight not like some one like they
did really good.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
No, but that tells you the age. Jason Stewart now
exactly what I was talking about when I said eight
is enough? Right, So did Isaac Lohonkron.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Yeah, I just want to make Manty in her.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Thirties did not realize I was referencing a late seventies
early eighties TV show. I believe that's about the timeframe
of eight is enough.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, no, but she thought ate and I was talking
ei ght right e I E I O. She is
Manti blaios. I'm Dan byer in four Cavino and Rich

in the second, but I do want to point this out.
Jason Stewart and myself are in a survivor Baseball Wow,
and you can do multiple entries. You pick a team
each week and if they win half their games or more,
you get a win, and you keep going three strikes,
(20:03):
so it's not like one in your dog. Three strikes
are out the year. Both Jason and I stuck out
our next in week one. He went with Oakland. I
went with the Rockies. Both were swept in their series
to start. So now either team, as they play in Colorado,
has to sweep the other. They're playing in basically snow
(20:23):
flurries right now in Denver, A's lead the Rockies. Isaac,
you don't have to give this score on your update.
We'll take care of it three to two in the
eighth inning. But that's why we have A's Rockies on
one of our screens.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
It's a battle of who could do worse. But to
make it clear to the listeners, one one of our
teams has to sweep for.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Us not to lose.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Are you guys a team together?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
He has the as I see, so you had to
pick them again like for the second week in a row.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
No, just to make it no, okay.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
It's you just picked them for the week, but they're
both oh and three. So in their next series, which
is going on right now, not have to go. They
have to win all three to get three and three.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
That's where I got confused. I was literally just taking
it series by series, got you okay.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
And so right now the A's are leading, So that's
good for Jason, but that means in the A's have
to sweep the weekend. If the Rockies win tomorrow, we
both lose and then out. It's just one on one
of our entries. We both had an entry on the
Tigers who won today and moved on. But it's a fun, way,
fun way. We even reeled Ryan Berschinger into.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
This, nice nice because fantasy baseball is hard, like it's
you know, I did it once years and years ago,
and I was like, never again, don't ever ask me
to do this.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Too much work it is.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
It's too much work. NBA is too much work. Baseball
is even worse.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I can't I haven't played NBA fantasy in a while,
but I don't know how I would deal with back
to backs and guys not playing.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Oh yeah, it's too much. It's way too much.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's what makes NFL It's fantasy football that much better.
Speaking of NFL and fantasy football, Lamar Jackson is one
of the best fantasy players that you could get, one
of the best players in the NFL, and he picked
up another w this offseason topping Dale Earnhardt Junior. We'll
explain after Isaac Lohenkron gives us the latest of what
(22:14):
is happening on this Friday. Good Friday is two weeks
from now. Still a pretty good Friday though right now.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Sure you know when I was coming in this morning,
I was planning to heavily focus on today's clash between
the A's.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
And then we stole your lead.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
But thankfully coming to the rescue, you guessed it. John
Morant guest today the NBA find him seventy five thousand
dollars for making repeated finger gun gestures in multiple games
this week, first on Tuesday against Golden State. He was
then warned by the league, only to do it again
in last night's game at Miami. The NFL seven time
(22:56):
Pro Bowl receiver Julio Jones officially announced his retire today.
Jones spent thirteen seasons in the NFL, most recently with
the Philadelphia Eagles. In twenty twenty three. Los Angeles Chargers
today signed free agent quarterback Trey Lance baseball. The New
York Mets won their home openers, shutting out the Blue
Jays five to nothing. Pete Alonso a two run home
(23:16):
run in the first inning, Juan Soto and RBI double
in the sixth inning in his first home game as
a Met. Cubs over San Diego three to one at
Regular for the Padres first loss of the season after
a seven and oh start. This means that the only
remaining undefeated team in Major League Baseball. I thought I
had it here.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It's the Dodgers. Thanks the Dodgers, I got you. Don't worry.
Appreciate that defending champions. Thank you Dodgers.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Thank you for coming to the rescue. There you get
to save going on right now. The New York Yankees
up seven to one at Pittsburgh in the top of
the seventh inning, and the Giants and Mariners tied at
five in the bottom of the fifth inning in the
Bay back to you guys.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Nothing says traditional baseball like the Yankees pirates. I can't stand.
I assume it's the home opener for Pittsburgh. I think so,
but interleague play. It just annoys me when the Dodgers
had their home opener against the Tigers. It was weird.
I just yeah, just dank it on board.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
Sorry, but does Monci know your your scheduled proposal for
the NFL along these lines.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
So on the Sunday show that I do with Mike Harmon,
because the league meetings this past week they were going
to talk about the eight eighteen game schedule. I think
that the NFL should do what Baseball used to do
and have NFC only play the NFC, and then the
AFC only play the AFC the whole year. Yes, so
you could have fifteen games against everybody, and then you
(24:44):
just would have three more games against your division and
that would be eighteen. And then when you get a
Super Bowl, you truly have no.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Way of preparing.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, of realizing, Wait, the Eagles and Chiefs haven't played
each other this year, they didn't play each other last year.
How they're going to match up? It would be a total.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
That would be dramatic.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yes, it'll never happen.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
It won't happen because people now want to be able
to see certain players that are not you know, that's
what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
We've got breaking news from Colorado. The Rockies have tied
it in a snowstorm. Truly. I don't know who just scored,
but he's got rosy cheeks because of how.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Cod is former Dodger Farmer.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Farmer.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I was about to say Jordan Farmer, but that was
an NBA player.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah, that was far far, far far, Kyle, hold on
and hold on. We may have we may have a
hold on rule double situation.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Why are you diving, bro.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Because the ball No, no, they're not calling it now.
They're going to review it plays under review. It is snowy,
it is that that been an inside the park home run.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think that's what it was. Yeah, he ran all
the way around.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Kyle Farmer, red cheeks.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
All right, we'll leave the Rockies A's game. And by
the way, I apologize to you if you're listening, we
took sixty seconds of your life away talking about Rockies
in A's. We're going to talk about more bigger issues.
Lamar Jackson has won a legal battle over Dale or
and our junior. Lamar Jackson is undefeated so far in
(26:19):
the twenty twenty five season. This was a battle over
the two entities use of the number eight.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
The number eight and.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Dale earnhard Junior just a few hours ago, posted through
the United States Trademark in Patent Office, they successfully secure
the rights to the stylized eight. Therefore, they will be
moving away from the original JRM eight that they have
used since twenty nineteen. They're looking forward to the remainder
(26:51):
of an already successful season, signed Dale Junior. That was
the message. But Lamar Jackson claimed that Earnhard Junr Was
infringing on his trademark of the use of number eight,
and therefore you had Dale Earnhard Junior and Lamar Jackson
going head to head. In the end, Jackson ends up
(27:13):
prevailing because he gets his way, and we're talking. What
we're talking about here is basically an eight that is
in italics, right, It's just a matter of what font
you chose. And Lamar Jackson's people felt that it was
too close to what Dale Earnhard Dale EARNERD Juniors was
too close to what Lamars was and in the end,
(27:33):
Lamar wins. And I find the whole thing absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
It is a little bit silly because this is just
a visual thing that they.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Think it looks similar.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Right, Yes, so you can still use the eight, is
what they're saying, so it is a bit silly, and
it's just kind of like, I don't I don't think
people are going to be confused over Lamar's brand versus
a NASCAR brand. You're right, Like, no one's going to
confuse and be like, oh, I thought this was dale Er.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Horror jokes on them, right, Lamar? You know, hey, if
somebody's like, I, you know, want some dale or and
our junior stuff, yeah, I'm gonna buy this number eight stuff,
and it's Lamar Jackson's like, hey, just as well. I
know he feels like it could happen the other way,
but it goes both ways on.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
It, right, And I just don't see how anybody would
mix the two up.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
And who's owning numbers?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I don't know, and I'm bad with numbers, so like aside,
honestly from my birthday and from Michael Jordan's number, I
know no one's number there.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
There By the way, it was ruled the ground rule
double so the Rockies did not tie it against.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Oh good, good, thanks for the update.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Back to the matter at hand, I would also argue
that in Lamar Jackson had a similar issue with Troy
Aikman and wanted to put out a product with the
number eight saying hold up, and if you read the
stories and how that came about. Lamar didn't really want
to talk about it, but it is the point that
Troy Aikman had been in the NFL two or three
(29:03):
decades before Lamar Jackson ever was wore the number eight.
Wasn't the only person with Steve Young wore number eight.
Rich would have told you that and then a heartbeat
if he was in today. There are other people that
have worn number eight, and so for Lamar Jackson to
feel like there's this ownership of number eight is funny
to me, considering I don't even think he's the most
(29:23):
popular person in Baltimore to wear number eight because cal
Ripken Junior would have worn number eight for the Orioles.
So I don't know. All Lamar could go and tell
everybody you can't use eight, you can't use eight, but
eight is mine, you know, And I'm like, okay, all
right here, isn't eight enough for everyone?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
Oh so Kobe Bryant was eight, and I feel like
a lot of people still think of Kobe as eight.
I know he changed it to twenty four, but now
you see either both numbers, but a lot of the
original og Kobe fans have eight.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yes, that's how it started. I feel like if you
wear a Kobe eight jersey, yes you're more legit than
if you wear a twenty four.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Absolutely, absolutely, There's just this It's different.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
It was a different time.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
But yes, if you haven't ate Kobe jersey, you have
been there since the beginning, since the fro remember.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
When he had that little frow. Loved him, loved him, Well,
I hated him, but I loved him.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I was never a huge Kobe fan either. The funny
thing was was he wore twenty four and the last
player to wear twenty four before he won was Jim Jackson,
Who's my all time favorite player. JJ had like a
little stint with the Lakers at the end of his career,
but he wore twenty four. When I think of twenty four,
you know who I think of?
Speaker 10 (30:36):
Who?
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Jeff Gordon. I know everybody in the car is screaming
Ken Griffy, Yeah what But I think of Jeff Gordon?
And what makes this so ridiculous in the whole thought
process is NASCAR. Nascar I think has more of an
argument to secure numbers in the NFL does because you
(31:01):
have thirty two teams in the NFL, where you could
have thirty two different players wearing the number eight, right,
So to have Lamar be the only one plus all
the generations of I mean, we just named Troy Aikman
and Steve Young and everybody else who wore eight. But NASCAR,
(31:21):
to me is crazy because it's not that Dale Earnhard
Junior owns number eight in the Cup Series or he
had eighty eight in the Cup Series. It's not that
he owns it. It's the race team that owns it.
And I always thought like it was always weird to
me to see somebody else driving a number three car
(31:44):
because I always felt that that was Dale Senior's car.
But NASCAR, that's not how they do it. That's not
how it's done. So it's crazy to think that Dale
Earnhard Junior where Richard Petty's forty three. But you can
see the forty three car out there, you can see
the car, you see William Byron and driving Jeff Gordon's
twenty four car. Guys change numbers and change teams and
(32:07):
driving different cars, so it's it's not even like their number,
even though at times you think of like Matt Kensith
was seventeen for so long and then guess what, he
switches race teams and he's no longer seventeen. So NASCAR
doesn't even have a really big say over it, even
though there are people that you lock in with their numbers,
and I actually think that they should. I think that
you shouldn't have a team designed if you have a
(32:29):
car that's two eighty two because you're running out of numbers,
who cares at least at least it's not retired and
not some weird drivers driving in the number three.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
And it's a giant car, so you can put any
number on it.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Now, these the negative numbers just do negative.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
These drivers like they don't have that number even on
I was gonna say a uniform, but it's not a
uniform there, correct, right, Like they don't have anything on
the car, it's just on the car.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
I remember I went through a NASCAR phase and I
for whatever reason why Jimmy Johnson, and when I wanted
to sound cool, I'd be like, I'm a fan of
the forty eight. It's a way of like being cool
with NASCAR.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Fans, right, they get it, By the way, Jimmy Johnson
retired and then came back in now driving the eighty
four car, So there goes. Didn't even know that. Yeah, no,
just it's up on my graphic of NASCAR drivers. But
a silly, silly fight over the number eight. And when
we talk about the difference of the eight, Lamar's is
(33:25):
like italics at like ten degrees, yes, and now Dale
Earnhardts is like at eighteen degrees. So good luck just
trying to find the difference, right, But the trademark office says,
all right, Lamar, you get to keep yours. Dale, just
just put yours in bold and turn it a little
bit more.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
And you know what, they're probably not going to be
next to each other at the store, so you probably
won't have an issue.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Yeah right, it'll probably NFL all the way over.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
There and then NASCAR over there on the second floor, well.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Maybe on the first floor in some spots. You know,
it's not gonna be by the tires, like, it's still
gonna be the apparel portion of it, just because it's driving.

I had no idea. Who was it? Like, uh, Primis
or so? Who was it? Sublime? Sublime? Yeah? Doing cover
of it? All right?
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Cover?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Thank you Sublime? Good job, Dan, great job.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Do you want to tell the people why Jason?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Why why do you have at the survivor?
Speaker 3 (35:38):
What's up? Why do you have a sudden have a
disgusted look? I just don't like Sublime? Oh okay, got
music like I cannot stand it?
Speaker 10 (35:45):
Really.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Oh that's a separate conversation.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I'm just not but music slob. But it was I
knew it was like a two syllable, one named, one
word band. So like Primus and Sublime. I no, no,
they're not the same blind but supply.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
A big shout out to Big Rig Rob who listens
to us and always checks in via Blue Sky where
you can find them now, Dan Bayer, that's bd y
e R. We started the show talking about John Morant.
He says, the thing is crazy, and it's not that
players in the NBA don't fear Adam Silver. It's the
fact that they don't respect Adam Silver. And that's the
biggest problem.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
He's not wrong, But don't fear and respect go hand
in hand.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I think there's another level, a level of Okay, I'm
not afraid of you, but I respect you. But if
I were to say, like, I'm not afraid of you
and I don't respect you, it's even worse. Yes, it's
still worse.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, that's what Big Rig Rob is getting at gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
What's big rig Manzi going to be watching this weekend?
Men's Final four, Women's Final four? NBA?
Speaker 5 (37:18):
All of the above, all of the I'm gonna try
and get all of the above in the NBA. You know,
I love the NBA, and it's so close in the
Western Conference that I'll definitely be keeping an eye on.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
But of course final four action.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
I mean this with all sincerity, not anything of taking
a shot at all. But are you really going to
sit down and watch the Women's Final four tonight? Is
that like a must see because it is a different
feel without the Kitlyn Clark effect.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
I'm not going to be paying attention to it closely,
but I will be going to a happy hour with
some girlfriends and it will be on because we're going with.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Sports bar Iowa Sam. I don't want to say that
he is our resident. He's just channel the final fours
as well.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
I was just switching on the women's Final four here
starting about eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
But your Iowahaw guys aren't in the Final four this year.
They were knocked out in the NCAA tournament by Oklahoma.
Is that they lost to around six matchup. Yes, we
saw ratings now the numbers down fifty two percent was
the overall number from the Elite eight a year ago.
Obviously the Iowa LSU game had that huge number, but
everything else. I also, I also just feel that the
(38:32):
Caitlyn Clark effect, Juju Watkins.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Not nothing not playing.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I think the Caitlin Clark effect is the biggest part.
But I do think that if Juju Watkins is playing,
they'd get a little bit of bump of numbers, but
not be able to close the gap for what they
had a year ago. But are you going to watch
sam as this? I mean yeah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
I mean it's the final four of you know, so
it's like I watched games earlier in the tournament of
the women's tournament. I'm absolutely gonna watch the final four.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
I agree with Dan though, like I don't think I
don't think new viewers are necessarily jumping in to watch
Yukon like Yukon is Yukon, Like nobody's surprised about.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
It's interesting thing. Jason, are you going to watch? I
just want to ask his thoughts.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
I'm not going to watch and it's great because it's
the barometer that I was looking for Page Beckers supposed
to be better than Kaitlyn Clark athletically and yukonnor in the
final four, and I'm not going to watch it. I
watched the entire thing last year with Caitlin.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
I think that Yukon is presented that consistency that and
and maybe South Carolina as well. But I mean, Yukon's
made it like seventeen out of the last eighteen years,
so it's so I think there's I think there's a
point that you make that's fair that like, well, they're
always in it, so why would you care exactly. There's
the other point of if you are going to watch it,
(39:47):
at least you know what's there. Absolutely, I probably won't
watch the women tonight, but I'll watch the title game
on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Oh absolutely, yes, no, yes, absolutely. It's a little bit unfair,
but I think it's just people are like, yeah, they're there,
always there.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
