your weekend. I was on the East coast. It's going
to be back in LA even though it was a
crazy weekend. But if you live here, you don't even
(02:11):
know what happened. Well, that's the thing. The news shows
you one thing, and the reality is not a lie.
It's just this, not all of California. That's the point.
But hope you had a nice weekend. I had a
nice time on the East coast. It's good to be
back here on the West side. And amongst my travels,
of course, I watched some NBA. Did Shaquille O'Neill. We'll
(02:35):
get to that first. I want to say that OKAC
played like OKC, SGA played like SGA. The Thunder dominated
the second game. It's all tied at one, and now
it's starting to look and again we're very fickle fans.
Right wherever the wind blows, that's where we are. Right now.
It seems like, oh okay, oh yeah, yeah, that's the
(02:58):
Okace we thought. Now it looks like they're gonna win
it all, but who knows now, I'm keeping on my
interest is jay Z gonna win his million dollar bet?
Right right? Okaysee in five he needs a clean sweep now.
And you know, a lot of people around here, a
lot of people around everywhere, thought that it might be
a four to five game series. So could Okay, see,
(03:22):
just dominate from this point on, and Game three is Wednesday.
I feel like the NBA Finals also very spread out.
I get it, we're finally here, but like you said,
the momentum of like, ooh, when's another game on Wednesday? Yeah,
you got your Stanley Cup Final tonight? Game three, But
you gotta wait till Wednesday, your hump night, for the
(03:43):
NBA to continue. And You're not alone in that feeling. Rich,
I'm with you on that. I imagine any sort of basketball fan,
any casual fan, definitely must feel like, well, they're really
dragging this out, aren't they. It feels that way, So
I gotta wait till Wednesday. There, but I was watching.
You were probably watching while grilling up and enjoying your weekend.
(04:04):
You probably tuned in here and there. It's been a
fun battle so far. Sol tied at one even though okay,
so he seemed to dominate game two. But here's the thing.
You know, who's not watching your boy, Shaquille O'Neill. Here's
my boy. When I was a kid, I wasn't there,
but I'll never You just made me think of this.
(04:26):
He was so popular coming out of LSH School and LSU.
I think he was still yeah, he was still in college.
I don't think he was even on the Magic yet.
And I remember he stopped by a store in my hometown.
It was the talk of the town that Shaquille O'Neil
was there, because just larger than life. How did check
end up in Union, that Jersey. Honestly, I have no idea,
(04:49):
but I remember when, oh maybe he went to that
what is it the Bowling Alley strip club combo that
was there? Now it was the Union marketplace he stopped at,
and that no longer exist, but it was one of
those old school marketplace, indoor marketplace with a million different shops.
And Shaquille O'Neal stopped by there. It was the talk
of the town. But you know, forever we heard about
(05:11):
this legendary guy. I've been hearing about this kid since
I was in junior high. That's my point. Since junior high.
Shaquille O'Neill man larger than life, and he is. He's
one of our heroes. And when you have heroes like
Shaquille O'Neal, guys you grew up admiring, you have expectations,
or you have this this thought of them and What
(05:32):
if I were to tell you that Shaquille O'Neal one
of your heroes, a guy that gets paid a lot
of money to represent the NBA and analyze the NBA
and sort of still be one of the faces of
the NBA. What if I told you that you're watching
the finals but he's not. Yeah, he said that I'm
(05:54):
going to be in the Bahamas of then, and everybody
said to him, well, you're still TV's in the Bahamas.
You could still watch the Bahamas. And I thought the
response was going to be, well, hey man, when I'm
on vacation, I too now, which is sometimes understandable if
you're not making millions of dollars to do that. Right,
(06:14):
If you're a regular dude and you're an accountant and
the boss is like, hey man, I was hitting you up,
or I expect you to still be tuned in to
the TPS reports coming in, you could tell that boss respectfully, hey,
I'm on vacation on the beach. I'm tuning out. That's
what I do on vacation. I get it. But when
you're Shaquille O'Neill and that's your job and you're paid
(06:35):
nicely to do that job, that's another story. So Shack's
response was something along those lines, but it was it was, yeah,
but you can't watch the games when you're in the ocean.
They said, if he if he's on a yacht. They said,
NBA TV is also on in the Bahamas, you know,
And he said, not in the ocean, not in the ocean,
And you know. It posted the bigger question, not for
(06:57):
Shaquille O'Neil, but for everyone every fan when you're on vacation,
is watching sports fair game? Yes, like if you and
a wife you love here, here's why. I also asking
someone to watch a boring ass like documentary about something
you don't care about, You're asking them to do something
that you you like to do. So, of course, well,
(07:19):
even when I'm on vacation, I'm tuned in because that's
something I like watch. It's only I don't need a
vacation from watching fun stuff. It's only a time you
it's only a limited time of game is on, meaning
listen if you're if you're in the Bahamas right now,
if you're in a Ruba, Jamaica or any plays a
beach boy song is about and you're an NBA fan,
(07:40):
is it really cramping your vacation. If for two hours
and fifteen minutes, you're like, we watch game one, two
or three. Like, here's the thing. I always have it funny,
Like my wife and I will go on vacation and
you're walking through the lobby at night. Sometimes you sit down,
you watch a little of a game. I don't find
that to be what I need to escape from. Well,
you think I'm gonna on shack, I'm really not. I'm
(08:03):
just setting up the story. Although you could easily say, yeah,
but he gets paid millions and millions and millions and
billions of dollars to do this, so he should be watching.
But sometimes even if you do fun stuff for work,
you still need a break from it. So yeah, basketball
(08:24):
is his life, it's his career, and that would be
a dream job for anybody, but for him, that's still
his job. And that's what I'm sort of explaining. Now.
You could say, yeah, but he gets paid a lot,
and I get that too, and I get that side
of the argument. When I started off in radio, Danny
G could attest to this because I believe he lived
that same life, but in the world of hip hop.
(08:45):
I came into radio in rock radio, strictly rock radio,
and it was going to live concerts five at a
seven days a week, and broadcasting from this venue and
broadcasting from that venue, and every night you're the first
one there. When you work in promotions too, starting out,
you're the first one there, last one to leave. You're
setting up broadcast broadcast booth, you're driving the van there.
(09:06):
It's an all day thing. You're hanging banners due and
then you're taking it all down and breaking down all
the gear after everybody's long e engineering equipment. You said it,
banners have to be everywhere. You have to make your
presence fell as the local radio station. And you're thinking, man,
but what a great gig for a young guy starting
out who loves to do that stuff. When you do
(09:28):
that for years, and I did concert after concert after
concert after concert, the stuff that was really fun to
you and the reason why you got involved in the
first place begins to feel like work. And I have
to tell you when I stopped living that side of things,
I didn't go to a concert for a good It
felt like ten fifteen years. Maybe one here and there, Yeah,
(09:48):
but I was not going to concerts because to me,
it reminded me of work, and it felt like work.
So what was once fun felt like work, even though
I loved it. Everything that's fun to someone is worked
to someone else. Right, So you have to imagine no
one loves basketball more than Shack, but watching a game,
calling a game, analyzing a game, having to formulate an
opinion on a game, that begins to feel like work.
(10:11):
I mean it's true. I mean going to a sporting
event or a concert to some would be like, how
is that ever working?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Whoever?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I never got paid millions and millions of dollars, But
you know what, everything that you would think, how could
this even be considered work? I guarantee there's a male
adult film star out there. That's why I gotta go
to work today. What's the scene? This?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Me?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Three women? Oh man? This jobs for the birds? Man,
I gotta go to work. Yeah dude, wait, what's your
job again? Yeah? No again, it's a an orgy me
and the four Chicks. Yeah. But if it's work, man
for someone, that is work. The same way you might say, wait,
you're backstage at the UH at the Morgan Walling concert.
Wait you get you get to uh? You working backstage
(10:55):
on the Eras tour with Taylor Swift, where every young
woman on planet Earth pays thousands, no to someone that's worked,
So to Shaquille O'Neal, it's perhaps checking out and he
can't even want he doesn't want to give two hours. Right,
everywhere he goes, he's Shaquille O'Neal and people want to
talk about him basketball and finals. So hey, maybe in
(11:16):
the ocean he has to go into the middle of
the ocean drinking a click man, he might need to
escape that. The only side to this argument that I
see against Shaq is, all right, dude, come on, you're
getting paid millions of dollars to do what people do
for free for fun, millions the millions of dollars that
(11:37):
you would think would require him to be tuned in
at all times because people value his opinion that much, Right,
That's the thing. That's the only flip side that the argument.
I know, Danie, she feels that way. To my flip side, dude,
but you get paid million. My flip side isn't even
about the money. My flip side is how are you
supposed to be interested in the NBA when one of
the ambassadors of the game point so easily is like, yeah,
(12:00):
I don't even want to watch. Like that's a good point,
Like this is the guy that's supposed to be hyping
you up, Shaquille, O'Neal, Barkley, Ernie, all these guys are
moving to ESPN, right, They're all this is these are
the faces of NBA broadcasts, and I do believe that's
part of his job. Yeah, you want him to be honest,
but as a broadcaster who talks sports, I feel like
it's even art job to hype up what's going on.
(12:23):
I'm not a big hockey fan, but yo, Game three
tonight just gives you something to be hyped up about.
That's a great point. Even other sport like Shaq is
the guy saying, hey, I'm not even watching even watching
that sort of like puts a damper on why am
I watch?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And this was your guys' argument at the beginning of
this NBA season, when everybody was down on the league
and talking about the ratings being so low, and there
were guys like Chuck coming out, you know, slandering his
favorite sport. Remember, and you said, hey, you're supposed to
be one of the faces of the league.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, you gotta be the hype guy. If this is
the league that's responsible for all that money and that
lifestyle you're you're living. So there's a bunch of ways
to look at it. We just want to give you
all of them and if you just joined us. Shaq
said he's not watching the NBA Finals because he's going
to be neat Bahamas and he's going to be in
the ocean. I imagine in the water is what he
meant on a raft the whole time, somewhere on a
(13:15):
shot perhaps, And I don't blame him. I love the
Bahamas man, but your thoughts on that, do you expect
him to be watching? You know what? I felt this
way as a kid. I felt this way about Derek Jeter.
Derek Jeter as much as I admired him and still
do one of my heroes. They always said the biggest
(13:36):
disconnect between Jeter and a Rod, because there was a
lot of conflict there and drama and competition, is that
a Rod lived for baseball. I mean he went great
lengths to stay competitive, right, He did anything possible to
win to his own detriment. But when he was not playing,
he was a student of the game, like he was
(13:57):
a nerd about it, like everything was baseball always watching baseball,
always talking baseball, everything baseball, baseball, baseball, and Jeter sort
of tuned out of baseball when baseball wasn't on. You've
heard him say, you know, I haven't picked up a
bat since I retired. When a Rod is still like
that guy, that's how we're still working on his swing, right.
And when I heard that from Jeter, it sort of
(14:19):
run me a weird way because I'm like, damn, I
imagine that Jeter was just baseball all the time, but
he really wasn't. Well, that's the difference between you and I.
Behind the scenes, Yeah, I'm well, you know you're also
living a different life. You have a five year old
and a seven year old. You know, my sole focus
has to do with radio and parenting a teen. But
(14:39):
when you're a parent of a teen, they don't need
your parenting as much as a as five and a
seven year old. I'll speaking of a Rod. Did you
see what a Rod said the other day? You bring
up dad life, But it seemed to me hold on
that my hero Jeter didn't seem to watch and enjoy
baseball as much as I did. The fan. It's like
he played it. But that's where it ends. But that
would be like when baseball shifts to the like NL
(15:02):
and it's on TBS, Jeter saying, wait, I'm about working,
i'mbout watching. Yeah, exactly, he's paid to watch and paid
to be an analyst. But back in the day they
said that was the disconnect between those two. So it's
like when you hear the stuff about heroes and people
you admire, it's like, huh, really, Shack, you're not watching.
You watched this whole season. You're not watching the NBA finals.
(15:24):
Expect me too, the casual fan to watch of Shaquille O'Neal.
But I think I made a solid point, like for him.
It's worked though, guys and everybody needs a break, even
if it's stuff you love. I'll be the judge of that. Yeah,
no one's gonna there's no one out there that's gonna
say they love basketball more than Shack. Get out of
my face. The guy revolves his whole life around it
(15:46):
and built his whole life around him. No, Shaq is
an analyst, former player. How do you feel about current
players who say once their team's eliminated, it's like too
painful to watch. More understandable, like when there are guys
that you see it in football a lot, Danny g
There's guys, yeah, I ain't watching the super Bowl. There
are guys on the Ravens and you know, teams that
make it to the AFC Championship, Josh Allen. There were
(16:06):
guys that said, yeah, I just time out watching. Yeah,
that I get because the wound is fresh. You know what, though, Danny,
what I do respect is the honesty, even though I'm
shocked to hear that, because he's paid to watch these
games or you expect him to watch it. It's one
of those like coming of age realities. You're like, what shack,
you're not watching the finals. It's like when I met
Joe Montana, He's like, I really don't like the Niners.
(16:28):
I was a Steelers fan. I'm like, what wait, Yeah,
you're ruining our childhood feelings here a little bit rich
and I. We've interviewed a lot of athletes along the way,
which is also something you get thrown this conversation. Never
at a time did you think you'd be like, oh,
I have to interview a star. Yeah, which is when
you do things thrill per job, it becomes work, it
becomes old hat. Brett Farve's old hat. It becomes old
(16:51):
hat after a while. But I remember the realization of
talking to certain players and they didn't know all the
player on their own team. That was a big shocker
for me. I'm like, wait a second, I know all
the players on your team. How doe you not know?
But it makes sense when you're in the game and
you're worried about yourself and you're still trying to maintain
(17:14):
a career and stay on the team. A lot of
these dudes are in and out of the league and
in and out of your team. It's hard for some
of the veterans to know some of these young guys
all the time that are in and out. I'll give
but that was a realization, like, oh wow, I never
felt another one of your realizations talking about being in
it like this all revolves around Shack saying I'm not
watching the NBA Finals, and you'd imagine I'm not watching
(17:35):
Why on Earth with Shaquilla and Theell not just tune in.
But he's like, no, I mean, I'm in the ocean.
I'm gonna be doing a backstroke. I remember we had
I'm doing kind of bows. Karen Opener belly flops We
had someone on our show once and you're gonna fill
in the blank form they're going to Scoola sheck Scooba sheck.
I remember, you're gonna film in the blank, and you'll
(17:56):
remember we had a rock band on our show and
I'm trying to remember who it was, but Cavino started
shouting out there track listing and yeah, I don't even
remember that. It was uh Stone Temple Pilots. Actually, yeah,
it was STP, not the name drop, but I was
calling out there, Oh no, no, no, no dude, it
was Third Eye Blind. It was Stephen Jenkins. I knew
(18:16):
his track listing and he didn't. Yeah, that song came
and then this one. He's like, you remember the order
of my CD? I don't, Yes, it was that. I
had a similar discussion with STP, which was a cooler
band to drop. But Third Eyeblind, who I did like
in college for sure. I mean Semi Trium life is
on every I was like, yeah, nineties mixed and track
five was Graduate or I'm just making that up now.
(18:38):
It's been so long, but it probably still is. Spot
give me a fact check Graduate track five, five or six.
And he looked at you and he's like, he's like,
oh no, I don't even know. I'm like, yeah, man,
it was started with Jumper and Semi Charm live and
he was like, dude, I don't even know that. Like
you're in the band. How do you not know your
track listing. It's one of those reality checks Shack is
(18:59):
not watching the finals. That was right Graduate track five. Yeah,
Boddy maaybe on that. But yeah, just a reminder, do
you lose respector do you understand? I get it. I
kind of understand. I get it because other things take
over in life. And by the way, I brought up
a Rod before, I said, he's living that dad life,
like you, you're not here yet. But I saw a
(19:21):
whole article about a Rod how his daughter. I believe
Vivian's twenty for the record, Cavino here, My daughter is
sixteen in November, so it's a whole different ballgame. He said,
he's at the dad stage of life now, where hanging
out with his kid is by appointment, and he gets
really stoked when she's like, Dad, you wanted me for
coffee And he's like, I get a fire it up,
Like you get to the stage where your daughter you
(19:45):
only hang with there when it's like an appointment, like Dad,
you want to go meet and he's like yeah, like
he gets all pumped. Yeah. Right now I'm at the
stage where I'm her personal chauffeur, so I still see her.
You're right, but you know you're uber, Steve, Uber Steve, Yeah,
you know, very much. Still huge part of our life.
But they start doing their own thing, their own friends,
their own world, their own teams and whenever they're involved in.
(20:08):
So again your thoughts about you're all glued to the finals.
You realize it's tied at one, but Shack's not watching
Boo for Shack. We're just not creating the illusion we
all want right right, right right, So again, you know,
it's just something to think about, your thoughts eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. And of course you could
hit us up at Covino and Rich. You know what
(20:30):
it's like too, Rich. One last personal one. I've been
playing rock music for over twenty years on serious extem
every night and there'll be a big festival or a
big concert coming up, and the fans are so pumped
about man, bro, are you going? They're like, No, I'm
not going. How are you not? But you're the guy. Yeah,
(20:51):
you're the dude. And meanwhile, you know, they're so pumped
to even have an opportunity to buy a ticket, and
they're like, but wait, you're not going to be there,
and I'm like, nah, you know, I got a life
to live. I used to feel that way about that.
That's really shock just living his life. I used to
feel that way about you when we lived in New
York and Kavino's the guy that watches one hundred and
sixty two Yankee games. And I remember there would be
times we'd be living on the East Coast and it'd
(21:12):
be like, yeah, you go on the playoff game. You're like, nah,
but you're the guy that watches. This just happens when
you're spoiling Yankee fan. That's all. Yeah, every year is
a playoff here. That's all right. Well, so we got
more Cavino on Rich We are going to talk about
kissing other grown ups on the lips. Is a story
about I'm on Ross Saint Brown. I want to get
to that's pretty funny. Camp Scataboo, Rookie running back. There's
(21:33):
a really funny story about him. So a lot of
Ray's that cool new dance. Yeah, it's called the Scataboo.

(24:18):
Radio's YouTube page. The more I think about it, Rich
my first and initial reaction hearing that Shack isn't watching
the NBA Finals is week all that money he's paid,
he's not watching? But when does a guy like Shack
ever get to not be Shack? When does he get
a break? That is, you could say in the off
season or whatever, but I mean he's always Shack. When
(24:40):
when do you get the chance to rest? You know,
Rich and I do so much radio. It's not that
we need a break, but we need a chance to
live life so that we have stories to talk about. Yeah, right,
because if you've got to live a little life, because
where are you gonna get stories and experiences from if
you don't dip away and step away? Right? You know,
we have fun on every day. Shaq has a great life,
(25:02):
but he has to live that life so that he
could have some content and perspective and other things to
talk about, no doubt. So not that mad Adam. Anyway,
hope you had a great weekend. It's good to be back.
Let's get to some phone calls. Yeah, we have to
say Yeah, let's say had to Paul and Rhode Island. Paul,
what's up? Man coven On? Rich listen. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I don't know what you're thinking about, Check, but I
think that in the end is going to take this.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
And I also think that, uh, I think that is
going to take this. What was what was your first
instinct though? Was your first instinct? Indiana? Always?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think when you eliminate my boss and Shamrock.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think that you deserve to go. Well, they didn't
the Knicks, did your knucklehead. Well, see, I was about
to say, your first instinct's usually right, and that's not
always the usually Like I had an instinct, Rich you
had an instinct. Most of us had an instinct that
okayse was so dominant the whole season that they're probably
gonna have their way. And then you saw game one.
(26:05):
Maybe not, but then you saw a Game two and you're.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Like, that's that's what I picked the Pacers before the
series started.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Was that your first is think it was?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It was just because they were on a roll, and
I feel like they match up. Okay, let me ask you,
yeah enough to win.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
When Monsei, who works here at Fox Sports ready, when
she went around and asked all the employees like, all right,
give me your prediction. Do most people say what they
think or are they trying to pick like a cool,
daring pick like I said, okay, see in six. And
I felt so lame about that because that feels to
me like the obvious answer. No.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I mean that this wasn't Lakers Celtics, So I don't
think anybody was like, you know, trying to impress her
on the camera. I think people really were picking who
they felt, you know, was gonna win.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Rich was trying to impress her by flexing a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
By the way, I should mention because uh, Tony and
Oregon called up and he's like, I'm just curious because
the TNT crew signed off. So where did Shack and
Kenny Smith say this? They were contracted to do pre
and post game for NBA TV, so that's where this
conversation took place.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And Ernie made it clear that NBA TV is on
in the Bahamas. Shack also, I'm gonna be in the water,
bro I'm not. I'm not worried about that right now.
And it sounds a little weird because of Shack and
he's supposed to be watching. Well, hey, sometimes it's okay
to be mentally checked out. Now I have a story
and it sort of ties together with us a few
(27:26):
things going on in the world of sports and entertainment
that has to do with just missing something along the
way or just you know, being so in your zone.
That's like, not that you got your head buried in
the sand, your own bubble, but sometimes you're in your
own little bubble. Well, you don't know what else is
going on now. You you said before Cabo you grew
(27:49):
up in the world of rock radio. If you grew
up in the world of sports and you're if you're
so in your little zone, sometimes you miss huge things
that are just outside you guess your bubble. Maybe you're
so committed and dedicated to what you do you don't
see anything else, you don't care about anything else. That
might be the reason. Sometimes people don't even know the
(28:13):
current biggest songs in the country because they're so in
the zone of other things, or they're laying Yeah, I
get it. I remember one of the moms on my
kid's baseball team. We put her in charge of the
kids walk up music one day and she was like,
Danny g When I'm talking like the biggest songs in
the country that the kids wanted to walk up too,
She's like, what's that song? And I'm like, how do
you How do you not know? That's like your mom,
(28:36):
you're living what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah? This is like you not knowing about downtown La.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah. I didn't realize Downtown La was in disarray until
late last night. We were in a group tax last
night and one of our buddies says, Hey, is it
time to move out of La or what? And he
sent some imagery from the protests, and Rich's like, what
what's going on? Because of the high taxes, He says, Hi, Texas.
(29:01):
I was like waiting at the guys, like, no, the
protests and the violence that's going on right now that
they're showing on the news well like five years ago
black Lives matter. So he was like, no, now that
you had just missed it yesterday, you missed it for
three whole days. And Riches in La I was on
the East coast flying and I knew about again what
was supposed to be peaceful protests, and it wasn't as
(29:23):
bad as the news made it out to seem, but
still was pretty bad for.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
That portion of the one on one freeway right and
parts of Compton, I guess. But like there's other parts
of southern California where you could be like Rich and
you didn't even know anything was going on. But for
a lot of people outside of Cali, Like a friend
of mine in Nashville, he texted me, you guys safe
when you're going to be moving out of California, Like, bro,
not all of us are on fire here this We
(29:50):
had the fires too, Remember everybody thought all our houses
were on fire.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
How in the world. Though, Could Rich live three days
in Los Angeles with all these other pas, parents and
people he was dealing with throughout the weekend and literally
no one brought up the protests to Rich at all,
not once, not once on his phone when he's looking
at all this mindless stupidity on social media. Try, I try.
(30:14):
Your algorithm must be that of a little baby boy.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Also makes me feel like you don't watch regular TV
at all?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I don't. While I don't, I don't really watch TV,
but somet miss I stream things, right, I mean, do
you watch TV? What are you eighty? You missed the
protests and the city that he lives in for three
days it's.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Called Dodger Baseball. We have Spectrum TV and you have
to turn the channels to get there.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And and that is why I have to bootleg the
mex Dodgers games for those three days a year because
I have the MLB app I pay for.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Obviously Rich doesn't do it. But do you other guys
ever feel like you just need to check in with
the news at all like I do? Like I may
not watch the news, the six o'clock news every night
or the eleven o'clock but if I've gone four days
without watching, Like the fifth day, I'll be like, all right,
at least I want to see what the top stories
are or what's going on, Like I feel a need
to check in.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I do. Yeah, yeah, you nailed it. That's exactly I guess.
You know. During the week I did that every day, right,
prepping for all the shows and things we do. But
on the weekend, I was just live news. Though now
I've never watching this. Yeah, I mean, I do exactly
what Dan just did. I'll throw on whatever. Yeah. Not,
It's not just CNN's not just Fox. And I also
like the feeling of something live, like what are they
(31:27):
talking about right now? Right? Absolutely, that's it. I watched.
I watched Pete Alnzo crush the Rocky single handling, I
watched I watched the Mets all weekend. I watch the
NBA Finals. I had a barbecue and a pool party
at my house for my kids. I was coaching that
you were pulling the Shaquille one. I was coaching, gave
hold on, we're living life. I was living life. I
(31:48):
was living life, just living life. So sometimes you miss
things so hard, you missed three days of it. That's living.
Some pretty hard life right there. But meanwhile he showed
me like three dumb videos that he saw over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's still not as bad as a certain New York
giant here.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No, but yeah, you can miss things for a couple
of days. But does a story I want to get
through next and it has to do with cam Scataboo.
And I'm also going to tie in another young player
in the NFL, JJ McCarthy. I'm going to tie him
into this. It's when you miss something along the way,
like where's the disconnect. We'll get to that, but let's
go to our buddy Dan Buyer for an update.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
dB No hoops tonight, but they will be skating in
South Florida. It's Game three of the Stanley Cup Final
between the Oilers and Panthers. Eight o'clock Eastern time series
tied up at a game of piece the Oilers Ryan
Nugent Hopkins considered a game time decision, did take part
in the morning skate for Edmonton. But again, Oilers and
(32:43):
Panthers tonight from South Florida in Game three of the
Stanley Cup Final. Back to basketball, Cavaliers guard Darius Garland's
going to miss four to five months after needing surgery
to repair a total injury that means he'll miss the
start of the upcoming season. That's according to the start
of next season, I should say. That's according to esp and.
Garland suffered the injury in March and aggravated the toe
(33:03):
during the playoffs. ESPN also reports the Hawks are hiring
Pelicans Jim Bryce and Graham to be their senior VP
of basketball operations. Falicans quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to
be at mandatory mini camp tomorrow for Atlanta. That's according
to the Athletic. He's right now the backup to Michael
Pennix Junior and would be fine if he missed mini camp.
That was the message from Ed coach Raheem Morris. Packers
(33:23):
releasing cornerback jy Yr Alexander. Bengals are letting go of
linebacker Jermaine Pratt. Colts have announced their new ownership structure
following the passing of Jim Ursay. The ownership of the
franchise will be split amongst his three daughters, with Carli
Ers Gordon being named owner and CEO of the franchise.
And the Boston Red Sox are calling up top prospect
outfielder Roman Anthony, Roman Anthony, that is, he bats fifth
(33:45):
tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. Don't expect Kaitler Clark
back tomorrow, guys against the Atlanta Dream. The Indiana Fever
star gonna miss her fifth straight game because of a
strained quad.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Back to you, that's of meme. It was like Indiana
Fever games without Kaitlyn Clark. Tickets are back to like
three dollars. So get back soon, Caitlin Clark. Save the WNBA.
You're the only one that people care about, Damn Meyer.
Let me ask you. NHL Stanley Cup Finals. I doubt
anyone knows off the top of their head, but if
tonight went to overtime, I can't imagine there's been an
(34:14):
NBA NHL Stanley Cup Finals where the first three games
were all over time. Yeah. I don't know, if the
top of my head, though, that would be unprecedented, right,
I mean, Game one overtime Edmonton Winsley, Game two overtime
Florida wins if they do another overtime, and Fridays was
in double overtime. And most people always say nothing better
than playoff hockey, especially overtime, So hockey fans are getting
(34:36):
what they want. Yeah, it has been really good. To
be honest.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I even have buddies who weren't really into the hockey,
and I can't say that I was, but I've watched
more this year that I've watched in the past decade.
And same with my buddy, he's like, yeah, I've actually
really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You know, that feeling of live we just spoke of
when it comes to just putting on the news because
here's what's going on right now. Yeah, that's it when
it comes to sports. A lot of times I'm not
I'm not vested in hockey right and especially these two teams.
But I'll have it on. That's all we ask put
it on tonight, that's all. Have it on, have it
on in the background. This is what's going on tonight. Well,
(35:12):
I said, Cam scataboo and JJ McCarthy. What do they
have in comment and what do they have in common
with my dumbass who didn't know what was going on
in my own city all weekend when you miss something
along the way. There's two funny stories we'll get to
next in the world of the NFL and sports, So

Hell No on Netflix with Chane Gillis. I'd have to

this weekend. And and I am everyday people, Steve Cavino,
that is Rich Davis. Oh did you appreciate my dude,
Pete Alonzo given props to your favorite bowler of all time?
I did. He's like, who do you think you are?
(38:12):
I am? They did the lip reading in the dugout.
It was great, Pete Alonzo to think that any team
in baseball could have had him for like nothing. Dude's
hitting bombs, and I mean, and they're talking about you.
Your own team didn't want it, That's what I'm saying.
Then they finally were like, all right, let's do it, Pete.
But every other chance in Major League Baseball had the opportunity. Yeah,
because I think every other team was like the guys
a New York Met, Why aren't the Mets signing him?
(38:35):
But at any given moment, you should look at your
own team before your point fingers anybody else you guys
didn't want him. Hey, s clann he's on the Mets
doing better than everyone else. Yeah, and you didn't want him.
That's the point. I'm just saying, your Dodgers, your Yankees,
your the Yankees. Anybody got Goldschmid at that point. But
what I'm saying is anyone could have had Pete Alonso
and to think how good he's playing, he was just
(38:57):
up for grabs. You can't be saying that when everyone
was saying it to you about your Every Mets fan
wanted him. The Mets just knew that the market somehow wasn't.
But you're calling out every other team when everyone else
was like, how do you guys not want him? Hey, dummy,
the Mets got him. You mean the number two all
time home run hitter for the New York Mets about
the past, Darryl Strawberry. But yeah, we knew that rich.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
The Dodgers have this guy named Freddy Freeman at first.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, the Yankees had just sight. You're telling me, when
Michael bunk ass Conforto's in your lineup, you could have
made room for Pete Alonzo. You know Michael Canfordo who
bats one ten. You mean your Mets who had him
already and needed a first baseman. Point the finger out yourself.
You're the guys that were hesitating on them, you dumbass.
(39:42):
All I'm saying is that everyone else had the chance.
The Mets almost blew it and somehow recovered. But everyone
in the it's like you. You know what it's like.
It's like dating a girl that's beautiful, she's hot, she's smart,
your family lovers, she's perfect for you, and you almost
let her get away. Luckily somehow, you know, you broke
up for you broke up for a week, and she
(40:03):
didn't meet anybody new, and you, oh, thank god, we're
back together. The Mets could have very easily lost Peter A. Lonzo.
I'm saying they're lucky they didn't allow this camp Scataboo story.
Let me set it up first. Sometimes he seems like
a good dude. Yeah, man, But sometimes you can be
so in your bubble that you don't know other things.
He is now a member of the New York Football Giants.
(40:25):
And when you believe this guy, we're gonna play the
audio when we comes so him crying with his fan
when he got drafted. Would you believe that this dude
was pretty unaware of who was in what division in
the NFL. And you hear about this with Rules and sports.

your weekend. I was on the East coast. It's going
to be back in LA even though it was a
crazy weekend. But if you live here, you don't even
(02:11):
know what happened. Well, that's the thing. The news shows
you one thing, and the reality is not a lie.
It's just this, not all of California. That's the point.
But hope you had a nice weekend. I had a
nice time on the East coast. It's good to be
back here on the West side. And amongst my travels,
of course, I watched some NBA. Did Shaquille O'Neill. We'll
(02:35):
get to that first. I want to say that OKAC
played like OKC, SGA played like SGA. The Thunder dominated
the second game. It's all tied at one, and now
it's starting to look and again we're very fickle fans.
Right wherever the wind blows, that's where we are. Right now.
It seems like, oh okay, oh yeah, yeah, that's the
(02:58):
Okace we thought. Now it looks like they're gonna win
it all, but who knows now, I'm keeping on my
interest is jay Z gonna win his million dollar bet?
Right right? Okaysee in five he needs a clean sweep now.
And you know, a lot of people around here, a
lot of people around everywhere, thought that it might be
a four to five game series. So could Okay, see,
(03:22):
just dominate from this point on, and Game three is Wednesday.
I feel like the NBA Finals also very spread out.
I get it, we're finally here, but like you said,
the momentum of like, ooh, when's another game on Wednesday? Yeah,
you got your Stanley Cup Final tonight? Game three, But
you gotta wait till Wednesday, your hump night, for the
(03:43):
NBA to continue. And You're not alone in that feeling. Rich,
I'm with you on that. I imagine any sort of basketball fan,
any casual fan, definitely must feel like, well, they're really
dragging this out, aren't they. It feels that way, So
I gotta wait till Wednesday. There, but I was watching.
You were probably watching while grilling up and enjoying your weekend.
(04:04):
You probably tuned in here and there. It's been a
fun battle so far. Sol tied at one even though okay,
so he seemed to dominate game two. But here's the thing.
You know, who's not watching your boy, Shaquille O'Neill. Here's
my boy. When I was a kid, I wasn't there,
but I'll never You just made me think of this.
(04:26):
He was so popular coming out of LSH School and LSU.
I think he was still yeah, he was still in college.
I don't think he was even on the Magic yet.
And I remember he stopped by a store in my hometown.
It was the talk of the town that Shaquille O'Neil
was there, because just larger than life. How did check
end up in Union, that Jersey. Honestly, I have no idea,
(04:49):
but I remember when, oh maybe he went to that
what is it the Bowling Alley strip club combo that
was there? Now it was the Union marketplace he stopped at,
and that no longer exist, but it was one of
those old school marketplace, indoor marketplace with a million different shops.
And Shaquille O'Neal stopped by there. It was the talk
of the town. But you know, forever we heard about
(05:11):
this legendary guy. I've been hearing about this kid since
I was in junior high. That's my point. Since junior high.
Shaquille O'Neill man larger than life, and he is. He's
one of our heroes. And when you have heroes like
Shaquille O'Neal, guys you grew up admiring, you have expectations,
or you have this this thought of them and What
(05:32):
if I were to tell you that Shaquille O'Neal one
of your heroes, a guy that gets paid a lot
of money to represent the NBA and analyze the NBA
and sort of still be one of the faces of
the NBA. What if I told you that you're watching
the finals but he's not. Yeah, he said that I'm
(05:54):
going to be in the Bahamas of then, and everybody
said to him, well, you're still TV's in the Bahamas.
You could still watch the Bahamas. And I thought the
response was going to be, well, hey man, when I'm
on vacation, I too now, which is sometimes understandable if
you're not making millions of dollars to do that. Right,
(06:14):
If you're a regular dude and you're an accountant and
the boss is like, hey man, I was hitting you up,
or I expect you to still be tuned in to
the TPS reports coming in, you could tell that boss respectfully, hey,
I'm on vacation on the beach. I'm tuning out. That's
what I do on vacation. I get it. But when
you're Shaquille O'Neill and that's your job and you're paid
(06:35):
nicely to do that job, that's another story. So Shack's
response was something along those lines, but it was it was, yeah,
but you can't watch the games when you're in the ocean.
They said, if he if he's on a yacht. They said,
NBA TV is also on in the Bahamas, you know,
And he said, not in the ocean, not in the ocean,
And you know. It posted the bigger question, not for
(06:57):
Shaquille O'Neil, but for everyone every fan when you're on vacation,
is watching sports fair game? Yes, like if you and
a wife you love here, here's why. I also asking
someone to watch a boring ass like documentary about something
you don't care about, You're asking them to do something
that you you like to do. So, of course, well,
(07:19):
even when I'm on vacation, I'm tuned in because that's
something I like watch. It's only I don't need a
vacation from watching fun stuff. It's only a time you
it's only a limited time of game is on, meaning
listen if you're if you're in the Bahamas right now,
if you're in a Ruba, Jamaica or any plays a
beach boy song is about and you're an NBA fan,
(07:40):
is it really cramping your vacation. If for two hours
and fifteen minutes, you're like, we watch game one, two
or three. Like, here's the thing. I always have it funny,
Like my wife and I will go on vacation and
you're walking through the lobby at night. Sometimes you sit down,
you watch a little of a game. I don't find
that to be what I need to escape from. Well,
you think I'm gonna on shack, I'm really not. I'm
(08:03):
just setting up the story. Although you could easily say, yeah,
but he gets paid millions and millions and millions and
billions of dollars to do this, so he should be watching.
But sometimes even if you do fun stuff for work,
you still need a break from it. So yeah, basketball
(08:24):
is his life, it's his career, and that would be
a dream job for anybody, but for him, that's still
his job. And that's what I'm sort of explaining. Now.
You could say, yeah, but he gets paid a lot,
and I get that too, and I get that side
of the argument. When I started off in radio, Danny
G could attest to this because I believe he lived
that same life, but in the world of hip hop.
(08:45):
I came into radio in rock radio, strictly rock radio,
and it was going to live concerts five at a
seven days a week, and broadcasting from this venue and
broadcasting from that venue, and every night you're the first
one there. When you work in promotions too, starting out,
you're the first one there, last one to leave. You're
setting up broadcast broadcast booth, you're driving the van there.
(09:06):
It's an all day thing. You're hanging banners due and
then you're taking it all down and breaking down all
the gear after everybody's long e engineering equipment. You said it,
banners have to be everywhere. You have to make your
presence fell as the local radio station. And you're thinking, man,
but what a great gig for a young guy starting
out who loves to do that stuff. When you do
(09:28):
that for years, and I did concert after concert after
concert after concert, the stuff that was really fun to
you and the reason why you got involved in the
first place begins to feel like work. And I have
to tell you when I stopped living that side of things,
I didn't go to a concert for a good It
felt like ten fifteen years. Maybe one here and there, Yeah,
(09:48):
but I was not going to concerts because to me,
it reminded me of work, and it felt like work.
So what was once fun felt like work, even though
I loved it. Everything that's fun to someone is worked
to someone else. Right, So you have to imagine no
one loves basketball more than Shack, but watching a game,
calling a game, analyzing a game, having to formulate an
opinion on a game, that begins to feel like work.
(10:11):
I mean it's true. I mean going to a sporting
event or a concert to some would be like, how
is that ever working?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Whoever?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I never got paid millions and millions of dollars, But
you know what, everything that you would think, how could
this even be considered work? I guarantee there's a male
adult film star out there. That's why I gotta go
to work today. What's the scene? This?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Me?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Three women? Oh man? This jobs for the birds? Man,
I gotta go to work. Yeah dude, wait, what's your
job again? Yeah? No again, it's a an orgy me
and the four Chicks. Yeah. But if it's work, man
for someone, that is work. The same way you might say, wait,
you're backstage at the UH at the Morgan Walling concert.
Wait you get you get to uh? You working backstage
(10:55):
on the Eras tour with Taylor Swift, where every young
woman on planet Earth pays thousands, no to someone that's worked,
So to Shaquille O'Neal, it's perhaps checking out and he
can't even want he doesn't want to give two hours. Right,
everywhere he goes, he's Shaquille O'Neal and people want to
talk about him basketball and finals. So hey, maybe in
(11:16):
the ocean he has to go into the middle of
the ocean drinking a click man, he might need to
escape that. The only side to this argument that I
see against Shaq is, all right, dude, come on, you're
getting paid millions of dollars to do what people do
for free for fun, millions the millions of dollars that
(11:37):
you would think would require him to be tuned in
at all times because people value his opinion that much, Right,
That's the thing. That's the only flip side that the argument.
I know, Danie, she feels that way. To my flip side, dude,
but you get paid million. My flip side isn't even
about the money. My flip side is how are you
supposed to be interested in the NBA when one of
the ambassadors of the game point so easily is like, yeah,
(12:00):
I don't even want to watch. Like that's a good point,
Like this is the guy that's supposed to be hyping
you up, Shaquille, O'Neal, Barkley, Ernie, all these guys are
moving to ESPN, right, They're all this is these are
the faces of NBA broadcasts, and I do believe that's
part of his job. Yeah, you want him to be honest,
but as a broadcaster who talks sports, I feel like
it's even art job to hype up what's going on.
(12:23):
I'm not a big hockey fan, but yo, Game three
tonight just gives you something to be hyped up about.
That's a great point. Even other sport like Shaq is
the guy saying, hey, I'm not even watching even watching
that sort of like puts a damper on why am
I watch?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
And this was your guys' argument at the beginning of
this NBA season, when everybody was down on the league
and talking about the ratings being so low, and there
were guys like Chuck coming out, you know, slandering his
favorite sport. Remember, and you said, hey, you're supposed to
be one of the faces of the league.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, you gotta be the hype guy. If this is
the league that's responsible for all that money and that
lifestyle you're you're living. So there's a bunch of ways
to look at it. We just want to give you
all of them and if you just joined us. Shaq
said he's not watching the NBA Finals because he's going
to be neat Bahamas and he's going to be in
the ocean. I imagine in the water is what he
meant on a raft the whole time, somewhere on a
(13:15):
shot perhaps, And I don't blame him. I love the
Bahamas man, but your thoughts on that, do you expect
him to be watching? You know what? I felt this
way as a kid. I felt this way about Derek Jeter.
Derek Jeter as much as I admired him and still
do one of my heroes. They always said the biggest
(13:36):
disconnect between Jeter and a Rod, because there was a
lot of conflict there and drama and competition, is that
a Rod lived for baseball. I mean he went great
lengths to stay competitive, right, He did anything possible to
win to his own detriment. But when he was not playing,
he was a student of the game, like he was
(13:57):
a nerd about it, like everything was baseball always watching baseball,
always talking baseball, everything baseball, baseball, baseball, and Jeter sort
of tuned out of baseball when baseball wasn't on. You've
heard him say, you know, I haven't picked up a
bat since I retired. When a Rod is still like
that guy, that's how we're still working on his swing, right.
And when I heard that from Jeter, it sort of
(14:19):
run me a weird way because I'm like, damn, I
imagine that Jeter was just baseball all the time, but
he really wasn't. Well, that's the difference between you and I.
Behind the scenes, Yeah, I'm well, you know you're also
living a different life. You have a five year old
and a seven year old. You know, my sole focus
has to do with radio and parenting a teen. But
(14:39):
when you're a parent of a teen, they don't need
your parenting as much as a as five and a
seven year old. I'll speaking of a Rod. Did you
see what a Rod said the other day? You bring
up dad life, But it seemed to me hold on
that my hero Jeter didn't seem to watch and enjoy
baseball as much as I did. The fan. It's like
he played it. But that's where it ends. But that
would be like when baseball shifts to the like NL
(15:02):
and it's on TBS, Jeter saying, wait, I'm about working,
i'mbout watching. Yeah, exactly, he's paid to watch and paid
to be an analyst. But back in the day they
said that was the disconnect between those two. So it's
like when you hear the stuff about heroes and people
you admire, it's like, huh, really, Shack, you're not watching.
You watched this whole season. You're not watching the NBA finals.
(15:24):
Expect me too, the casual fan to watch of Shaquille O'Neal.
But I think I made a solid point, like for him.
It's worked though, guys and everybody needs a break, even
if it's stuff you love. I'll be the judge of that. Yeah,
no one's gonna there's no one out there that's gonna
say they love basketball more than Shack. Get out of
my face. The guy revolves his whole life around it
(15:46):
and built his whole life around him. No, Shaq is
an analyst, former player. How do you feel about current
players who say once their team's eliminated, it's like too
painful to watch. More understandable, like when there are guys
that you see it in football a lot, Danny g
There's guys, yeah, I ain't watching the super Bowl. There
are guys on the Ravens and you know, teams that
make it to the AFC Championship, Josh Allen. There were
(16:06):
guys that said, yeah, I just time out watching. Yeah,
that I get because the wound is fresh. You know what, though, Danny,
what I do respect is the honesty, even though I'm
shocked to hear that, because he's paid to watch these
games or you expect him to watch it. It's one
of those like coming of age realities. You're like, what shack,
you're not watching the finals. It's like when I met
Joe Montana, He's like, I really don't like the Niners.
(16:28):
I was a Steelers fan. I'm like, what wait, Yeah,
you're ruining our childhood feelings here a little bit rich
and I. We've interviewed a lot of athletes along the way,
which is also something you get thrown this conversation. Never
at a time did you think you'd be like, oh,
I have to interview a star. Yeah, which is when
you do things thrill per job, it becomes work, it
becomes old hat. Brett Farve's old hat. It becomes old
(16:51):
hat after a while. But I remember the realization of
talking to certain players and they didn't know all the
player on their own team. That was a big shocker
for me. I'm like, wait a second, I know all
the players on your team. How doe you not know?
But it makes sense when you're in the game and
you're worried about yourself and you're still trying to maintain
(17:14):
a career and stay on the team. A lot of
these dudes are in and out of the league and
in and out of your team. It's hard for some
of the veterans to know some of these young guys
all the time that are in and out. I'll give
but that was a realization, like, oh wow, I never
felt another one of your realizations talking about being in
it like this all revolves around Shack saying I'm not
watching the NBA Finals, and you'd imagine I'm not watching
(17:35):
Why on Earth with Shaquilla and Theell not just tune in.
But he's like, no, I mean, I'm in the ocean.
I'm gonna be doing a backstroke. I remember we had
I'm doing kind of bows. Karen Opener belly flops We
had someone on our show once and you're gonna fill
in the blank form they're going to Scoola sheck Scooba sheck.
I remember, you're gonna film in the blank, and you'll
(17:56):
remember we had a rock band on our show and
I'm trying to remember who it was, but Cavino started
shouting out there track listing and yeah, I don't even
remember that. It was uh Stone Temple Pilots. Actually, yeah,
it was STP, not the name drop, but I was
calling out there, Oh no, no, no, no dude, it
was Third Eye Blind. It was Stephen Jenkins. I knew
(18:16):
his track listing and he didn't. Yeah, that song came
and then this one. He's like, you remember the order
of my CD? I don't, Yes, it was that. I
had a similar discussion with STP, which was a cooler
band to drop. But Third Eyeblind, who I did like
in college for sure. I mean Semi Trium life is
on every I was like, yeah, nineties mixed and track
five was Graduate or I'm just making that up now.
(18:38):
It's been so long, but it probably still is. Spot
give me a fact check Graduate track five, five or six.
And he looked at you and he's like, he's like,
oh no, I don't even know. I'm like, yeah, man,
it was started with Jumper and Semi Charm live and
he was like, dude, I don't even know that. Like
you're in the band. How do you not know your
track listing. It's one of those reality checks Shack is
(18:59):
not watching the finals. That was right Graduate track five. Yeah,
Boddy maaybe on that. But yeah, just a reminder, do
you lose respector do you understand? I get it. I
kind of understand. I get it because other things take
over in life. And by the way, I brought up
a Rod before, I said, he's living that dad life,
like you, you're not here yet. But I saw a
(19:21):
whole article about a Rod how his daughter. I believe
Vivian's twenty for the record, Cavino here, My daughter is
sixteen in November, so it's a whole different ballgame. He said,
he's at the dad stage of life now, where hanging
out with his kid is by appointment, and he gets
really stoked when she's like, Dad, you wanted me for
coffee And he's like, I get a fire it up,
Like you get to the stage where your daughter you
(19:45):
only hang with there when it's like an appointment, like Dad,
you want to go meet and he's like yeah, like
he gets all pumped. Yeah. Right now I'm at the
stage where I'm her personal chauffeur, so I still see her.
You're right, but you know you're uber, Steve, Uber Steve, Yeah,
you know, very much. Still huge part of our life.
But they start doing their own thing, their own friends,
their own world, their own teams and whenever they're involved in.
(20:08):
So again your thoughts about you're all glued to the finals.
You realize it's tied at one, but Shack's not watching
Boo for Shack. We're just not creating the illusion we
all want right right, right right, So again, you know,
it's just something to think about, your thoughts eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. And of course you could
hit us up at Covino and Rich. You know what
(20:30):
it's like too, Rich. One last personal one. I've been
playing rock music for over twenty years on serious extem
every night and there'll be a big festival or a
big concert coming up, and the fans are so pumped
about man, bro, are you going? They're like, No, I'm
not going. How are you not? But you're the guy. Yeah,
(20:51):
you're the dude. And meanwhile, you know, they're so pumped
to even have an opportunity to buy a ticket, and
they're like, but wait, you're not going to be there,
and I'm like, nah, you know, I got a life
to live. I used to feel that way about that.
That's really shock just living his life. I used to
feel that way about you when we lived in New
York and Kavino's the guy that watches one hundred and
sixty two Yankee games. And I remember there would be
times we'd be living on the East Coast and it'd
(21:12):
be like, yeah, you go on the playoff game. You're like, nah,
but you're the guy that watches. This just happens when
you're spoiling Yankee fan. That's all. Yeah, every year is
a playoff here. That's all right. Well, so we got
more Cavino on Rich We are going to talk about
kissing other grown ups on the lips. Is a story
about I'm on Ross Saint Brown. I want to get
to that's pretty funny. Camp Scataboo, Rookie running back. There's
(21:33):
a really funny story about him. So a lot of
Ray's that cool new dance. Yeah, it's called the Scataboo.
See yeah. So we'll get to all that and more
right here on Fox Sports Radio, Cavino on Rich. So

(23:33):
really tracking it out long stints in between the games
and the NBA Finals for real. But I'm not complaining.
Just as Spain, we're not complaining a little bit. We're
Cavino and Rich Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio

at eighty seven to seven ninety nine on Fox. He's

some trivia later on. I saw Mike making his way
in Earlier Dan Byer's got your updates in a few
minutes and again all our videos at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio and streaming live on Fox Sports
(24:18):
Radio's YouTube page. The more I think about it, Rich
my first and initial reaction hearing that Shack isn't watching
the NBA Finals is week all that money he's paid,
he's not watching? But when does a guy like Shack
ever get to not be Shack? When does he get
a break? That is, you could say in the off
season or whatever, but I mean he's always Shack. When
(24:40):
when do you get the chance to rest? You know,
Rich and I do so much radio. It's not that
we need a break, but we need a chance to
live life so that we have stories to talk about. Yeah, right,
because if you've got to live a little life, because
where are you gonna get stories and experiences from if
you don't dip away and step away? Right? You know,
we have fun on every day. Shaq has a great life,
(25:02):
but he has to live that life so that he
could have some content and perspective and other things to
talk about, no doubt. So not that mad Adam. Anyway,
hope you had a great weekend. It's good to be back.
Let's get to some phone calls. Yeah, we have to
say Yeah, let's say had to Paul and Rhode Island. Paul,
what's up? Man coven On? Rich listen. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I don't know what you're thinking about, Check, but I
think that in the end is going to take this.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
And I also think that, uh, I think that is
going to take this. What was what was your first
instinct though? Was your first instinct? Indiana? Always?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I think when you eliminate my boss and Shamrock.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think that you deserve to go. Well, they didn't
the Knicks, did your knucklehead. Well, see, I was about
to say, your first instinct's usually right, and that's not
always the usually Like I had an instinct, Rich you
had an instinct. Most of us had an instinct that
okayse was so dominant the whole season that they're probably
gonna have their way. And then you saw game one.
(26:05):
Maybe not, but then you saw a Game two and you're.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Like, that's that's what I picked the Pacers before the
series started.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Was that your first is think it was?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It was just because they were on a roll, and
I feel like they match up. Okay, let me ask you,
yeah enough to win.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
When Monsei, who works here at Fox Sports ready, when
she went around and asked all the employees like, all right,
give me your prediction. Do most people say what they
think or are they trying to pick like a cool,
daring pick like I said, okay, see in six. And
I felt so lame about that because that feels to
me like the obvious answer. No.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I mean that this wasn't Lakers Celtics, So I don't
think anybody was like, you know, trying to impress her
on the camera. I think people really were picking who
they felt, you know, was gonna win.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Rich was trying to impress her by flexing a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
By the way, I should mention because uh, Tony and
Oregon called up and he's like, I'm just curious because
the TNT crew signed off. So where did Shack and
Kenny Smith say this? They were contracted to do pre
and post game for NBA TV, so that's where this
conversation took place.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
And Ernie made it clear that NBA TV is on
in the Bahamas. Shack also, I'm gonna be in the water,
bro I'm not. I'm not worried about that right now.
And it sounds a little weird because of Shack and
he's supposed to be watching. Well, hey, sometimes it's okay
to be mentally checked out. Now I have a story
and it sort of ties together with us a few
(27:26):
things going on in the world of sports and entertainment
that has to do with just missing something along the
way or just you know, being so in your zone.
That's like, not that you got your head buried in
the sand, your own bubble, but sometimes you're in your
own little bubble. Well, you don't know what else is
going on now. You you said before Cabo you grew
(27:49):
up in the world of rock radio. If you grew
up in the world of sports and you're if you're
so in your little zone, sometimes you miss huge things
that are just outside you guess your bubble. Maybe you're
so committed and dedicated to what you do you don't
see anything else, you don't care about anything else. That
might be the reason. Sometimes people don't even know the
(28:13):
current biggest songs in the country because they're so in
the zone of other things, or they're laying Yeah, I
get it. I remember one of the moms on my
kid's baseball team. We put her in charge of the
kids walk up music one day and she was like,
Danny g When I'm talking like the biggest songs in
the country that the kids wanted to walk up too,
She's like, what's that song? And I'm like, how do
you How do you not know? That's like your mom,
(28:36):
you're living what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah? This is like you not knowing about downtown La.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah. I didn't realize Downtown La was in disarray until
late last night. We were in a group tax last
night and one of our buddies says, Hey, is it
time to move out of La or what? And he
sent some imagery from the protests, and Rich's like, what
what's going on? Because of the high taxes, He says, Hi, Texas.
(29:01):
I was like waiting at the guys, like, no, the
protests and the violence that's going on right now that
they're showing on the news well like five years ago
black Lives matter. So he was like, no, now that
you had just missed it yesterday, you missed it for
three whole days. And Riches in La I was on
the East coast flying and I knew about again what
was supposed to be peaceful protests, and it wasn't as
(29:23):
bad as the news made it out to seem, but
still was pretty bad for.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
That portion of the one on one freeway right and
parts of Compton, I guess. But like there's other parts
of southern California where you could be like Rich and
you didn't even know anything was going on. But for
a lot of people outside of Cali, Like a friend
of mine in Nashville, he texted me, you guys safe
when you're going to be moving out of California, Like, bro,
not all of us are on fire here this We
(29:50):
had the fires too, Remember everybody thought all our houses
were on fire.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
How in the world. Though, Could Rich live three days
in Los Angeles with all these other pas, parents and
people he was dealing with throughout the weekend and literally
no one brought up the protests to Rich at all,
not once, not once on his phone when he's looking
at all this mindless stupidity on social media. Try, I try.
(30:14):
Your algorithm must be that of a little baby boy.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Also makes me feel like you don't watch regular TV
at all?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I don't. While I don't, I don't really watch TV,
but somet miss I stream things, right, I mean, do
you watch TV? What are you eighty? You missed the
protests and the city that he lives in for three
days it's.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Called Dodger Baseball. We have Spectrum TV and you have
to turn the channels to get there.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And and that is why I have to bootleg the
mex Dodgers games for those three days a year because
I have the MLB app I pay for.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Obviously Rich doesn't do it. But do you other guys
ever feel like you just need to check in with
the news at all like I do? Like I may
not watch the news, the six o'clock news every night
or the eleven o'clock but if I've gone four days
without watching, Like the fifth day, I'll be like, all right,
at least I want to see what the top stories
are or what's going on, Like I feel a need
to check in.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I do. Yeah, yeah, you nailed it. That's exactly I guess.
You know. During the week I did that every day, right,
prepping for all the shows and things we do. But
on the weekend, I was just live news. Though now
I've never watching this. Yeah, I mean, I do exactly
what Dan just did. I'll throw on whatever. Yeah. Not,
It's not just CNN's not just Fox. And I also
like the feeling of something live, like what are they
(31:27):
talking about right now? Right? Absolutely, that's it. I watched.
I watched Pete Alnzo crush the Rocky single handling, I
watched I watched the Mets all weekend. I watch the
NBA Finals. I had a barbecue and a pool party
at my house for my kids. I was coaching that
you were pulling the Shaquille one. I was coaching, gave
hold on, we're living life. I was living life. I
(31:48):
was living life, just living life. So sometimes you miss
things so hard, you missed three days of it. That's living.
Some pretty hard life right there. But meanwhile he showed
me like three dumb videos that he saw over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It's still not as bad as a certain New York
giant here.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No, but yeah, you can miss things for a couple
of days. But does a story I want to get
through next and it has to do with cam Scataboo.
And I'm also going to tie in another young player
in the NFL, JJ McCarthy. I'm going to tie him
into this. It's when you miss something along the way,
like where's the disconnect. We'll get to that, but let's
go to our buddy Dan Buyer for an update.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
dB No hoops tonight, but they will be skating in
South Florida. It's Game three of the Stanley Cup Final
between the Oilers and Panthers. Eight o'clock Eastern time series
tied up at a game of piece the Oilers Ryan
Nugent Hopkins considered a game time decision, did take part
in the morning skate for Edmonton. But again, Oilers and
(32:43):
Panthers tonight from South Florida in Game three of the
Stanley Cup Final. Back to basketball, Cavaliers guard Darius Garland's
going to miss four to five months after needing surgery
to repair a total injury that means he'll miss the
start of the upcoming season. That's according to the start
of next season, I should say. That's according to esp and.
Garland suffered the injury in March and aggravated the toe
(33:03):
during the playoffs. ESPN also reports the Hawks are hiring
Pelicans Jim Bryce and Graham to be their senior VP
of basketball operations. Falicans quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to
be at mandatory mini camp tomorrow for Atlanta. That's according
to the Athletic. He's right now the backup to Michael
Pennix Junior and would be fine if he missed mini camp.
That was the message from Ed coach Raheem Morris. Packers
(33:23):
releasing cornerback jy Yr Alexander. Bengals are letting go of
linebacker Jermaine Pratt. Colts have announced their new ownership structure
following the passing of Jim Ursay. The ownership of the
franchise will be split amongst his three daughters, with Carli
Ers Gordon being named owner and CEO of the franchise.
And the Boston Red Sox are calling up top prospect
outfielder Roman Anthony, Roman Anthony, that is, he bats fifth
(33:45):
tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. Don't expect Kaitler Clark
back tomorrow, guys against the Atlanta Dream. The Indiana Fever
star gonna miss her fifth straight game because of a
strained quad.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Back to you, that's of meme. It was like Indiana
Fever games without Kaitlyn Clark. Tickets are back to like
three dollars. So get back soon, Caitlin Clark. Save the WNBA.
You're the only one that people care about, Damn Meyer.
Let me ask you. NHL Stanley Cup Finals. I doubt
anyone knows off the top of their head, but if
tonight went to overtime, I can't imagine there's been an
(34:14):
NBA NHL Stanley Cup Finals where the first three games
were all over time. Yeah. I don't know, if the
top of my head, though, that would be unprecedented, right,
I mean, Game one overtime Edmonton Winsley, Game two overtime
Florida wins if they do another overtime, and Fridays was
in double overtime. And most people always say nothing better
than playoff hockey, especially overtime, So hockey fans are getting
(34:36):
what they want. Yeah, it has been really good. To
be honest.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I even have buddies who weren't really into the hockey,
and I can't say that I was, but I've watched
more this year that I've watched in the past decade.
And same with my buddy, he's like, yeah, I've actually
really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You know, that feeling of live we just spoke of
when it comes to just putting on the news because
here's what's going on right now. Yeah, that's it when
it comes to sports. A lot of times I'm not
I'm not vested in hockey right and especially these two teams.
But I'll have it on. That's all we ask put
it on tonight, that's all. Have it on, have it
on in the background. This is what's going on tonight. Well,
(35:12):
I said, Cam scataboo and JJ McCarthy. What do they
have in comment and what do they have in common
with my dumbass who didn't know what was going on
in my own city all weekend when you miss something

sad day. He's a funk legend, a music legend. But
when you see sly Stone, your mind thinks sliced the loan. Well, yeah,

(37:29):
tires Did anyone watch any of season two of Tires
Hell No on Netflix with Chane Gillis. I'd have to
watch season one, you know, like Shane Gillis, does he
like me? Because then it'll determine my answer. I've asked him. Yeah, Well,
when you find out, let me know, okay, fair enough,
he's all right, He's all right. Your buddy John love it. Oh,

that's the ticket is in season now. Like Seene Gillis,
I like some of his stuff, but I don't know
in personally. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed the finals
this weekend. And and I am everyday people, Steve Cavino,
that is Rich Davis. Oh did you appreciate my dude,
Pete Alonzo given props to your favorite bowler of all time?
I did. He's like, who do you think you are?
(38:12):
I am? They did the lip reading in the dugout.
It was great, Pete Alonzo to think that any team
in baseball could have had him for like nothing. Dude's
hitting bombs, and I mean, and they're talking about you.
Your own team didn't want it, That's what I'm saying.
Then they finally were like, all right, let's do it, Pete.
But every other chance in Major League Baseball had the opportunity. Yeah,
because I think every other team was like the guys
a New York Met, Why aren't the Mets signing him?
(38:35):
But at any given moment, you should look at your
own team before your point fingers anybody else you guys
didn't want him. Hey, s clann he's on the Mets
doing better than everyone else. Yeah, and you didn't want him.
That's the point. I'm just saying, your Dodgers, your Yankees,
your the Yankees. Anybody got Goldschmid at that point. But
what I'm saying is anyone could have had Pete Alonso
and to think how good he's playing, he was just
(38:57):
up for grabs. You can't be saying that when everyone
was saying it to you about your Every Mets fan
wanted him. The Mets just knew that the market somehow wasn't.
But you're calling out every other team when everyone else
was like, how do you guys not want him? Hey, dummy,
the Mets got him. You mean the number two all
time home run hitter for the New York Mets about
the past, Darryl Strawberry. But yeah, we knew that rich.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
The Dodgers have this guy named Freddy Freeman at first.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Yeah, the Yankees had just sight. You're telling me, when
Michael bunk ass Conforto's in your lineup, you could have
made room for Pete Alonzo. You know Michael Canfordo who
bats one ten. You mean your Mets who had him
already and needed a first baseman. Point the finger out yourself.
You're the guys that were hesitating on them, you dumbass.
(39:42):
All I'm saying is that everyone else had the chance.
The Mets almost blew it and somehow recovered. But everyone
in the it's like you. You know what it's like.
It's like dating a girl that's beautiful, she's hot, she's smart,
your family lovers, she's perfect for you, and you almost
let her get away. Luckily somehow, you know, you broke
up for you broke up for a week, and she
(40:03):
didn't meet anybody new, and you, oh, thank god, we're
back together. The Mets could have very easily lost Peter A. Lonzo.
I'm saying they're lucky they didn't allow this camp Scataboo story.
Let me set it up first. Sometimes he seems like
a good dude. Yeah, man, But sometimes you can be
so in your bubble that you don't know other things.
He is now a member of the New York Football Giants.
(40:25):
And when you believe this guy, we're gonna play the
audio when we comes so him crying with his fan
when he got drafted. Would you believe that this dude
was pretty unaware of who was in what division in
the NFL. And you hear about this with Rules and sports.
You hear about this a lag across the board. We're
gonna get to it next. Right here, Covino and Rich
Fox Sports Radio. You're feedback and much more next
