Five MS, okay five and can I try to guess
some of these? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Major League ding, mister Belvidere ding, Okay, okay to mister Beldere,
mister baseball three this name, mister Belvidere, mister baseball, major
League Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Braves. Maybe six ms. Yeah, I'm
(00:49):
not gonna know the fifth one am I Brews?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh wait Miller Lite. Hey, that was a rehearse who
got them all my bad bad And if you say
Milwaukee Braves Milwaukee Brewers, that's six ems.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So this usually had Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It is Meliewakes for the.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Good lad Thank you, Alice Cooper. But Bob Buker is
just one of those guys who had a really interesting
career because his personality was bigger than his I guess
baseball skill, right, He was all personality. Look here's the story.
He was drafted in nineteen fifty six by the Milwaukee Braves.
(01:34):
I'm sorry, Meliawaukee Braves right nineteen thirty six. He played
from sixty two to sixty seven. He was a catcher
from sixty two to sixty seven. But again, all personality.
He was an all personality kind of guy, clubhouse kind
of guy. He only hit fourteen career home runs. Again,
that's fourteen more than we all hit. But I'm saying,
(01:55):
in the grand scheme of things, he batted two hundred
and then got into the booth in nineteeneteen seventy, never
looked back. And again a personality who just really made
a career of himself of being that guy commercials, mister
Beldere movies, and people forgot that he was actually in
the major leagues. You know that he really was an athlete.
(02:17):
Harry Doyle, Harry Doyle from Major League, the real Deal,
Bob Bucker, mister Baseball has passed away.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I loved him on Mister Belvidere. Some people don't even
remember what that show is, you little twits. I love
mister Belvidere. We all loved Major League Harry Doyle. I mean,
would commercials. Would you argue that one of his calls
in Major League might be repeated more than any other
play by play call of all time.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Top of the sixth man rookie sensation, Ricky Vaughan on
the pitch.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Now where you can close the book on Kelder?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh, thank god bon a juvenile delinquent in the off
season and.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Up in his first offering, Josh the bit outside. He
tried the corner and missed.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think just for a bit outside, tried the corner
and missed. It might be the most quoted sports call
in movie history. You're playing little league, you're playing high
school baseball, college, it could be a big league game,
and some guy throws an errant pitch way outside.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Just a bit outside is legendary.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I'm not saying by any means I'm special for recognizing
that this guy was unique. But when I realized, wait,
the guy from Mister Belvidere, Harry Doyle from Major League,
he was in actual Major League baseball. I found that
so intriguing because it was so rare and few and
far between when you saw that much personality out of
sports that I sought out his rookie card as a kid.
(03:48):
It was hard to find. It's not like there was
crazy value to it. You had to find a sixty
three tops Bob you grab. I remember buying it. I
still have it till this day. You could see it
on my IG. And you know, he's just one of
those dudes that I would compare to loosely and respectfully,
to a John Madden type for what John Madden was
(04:10):
for football in a lesser way. And I don't say
that disrespectfully in any way, but Bob Bucher's no John Madden.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
He was in that company of insanely colorful when you.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Watched those old school WWF clips with Andrea Giant, when
he watched those Miller Likee commercials. By the way, when
Andre the Giants choking him. That clip is going viral today.
Of course I remember that I was a kid. It's hilarious.
And I don't know if you realize this, if you're
a wrestling fan. He was a ring announcer for arguably
(04:43):
the biggest wrestling match of the eighties, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He was Andre the Giant, He was funny as hell.
He grabs the mic.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It wasn't Howard Finkel who introduced Hogan and Andre.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's also known for the mic. Add seven ms to
that the mic. The mic. So when you think of
Bob Uker, you know Comino.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I'm how could disagree MC There is a parallel that
I can't quite put my finger on. But John Madden
is a They both did those Millie like commercials. It's
also a The only difference might be that Madden had
genuine success as a player or coach in the game.
But besides that, you know, football is more of a
national sport. We're watching the same games youker day in
and day out for the Brewers, so it's different there.
(05:21):
But where their personality trumped everything else they did. Their
personality really paved a way for the rest of their careers.
And he had a great one. Props to him, Bob Buker.
Now here's the other side to the story, depending on
who you're talking to. Right, we work here at Fox
Sports Radio. You have all walks of life. It's the
(05:42):
best place to be, one of the best places we've
ever worked at. But you got guys like Mike who
runs this place. Mike's like eighty seven years old, right,
and then you got Mike who runs this place, and
then you got Mary mack. Who's hell, well is she
twenty one? She don't know Bob Bucker from anyone? She's
like who right?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And you have to explain it.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And there's guys like guys who are right there in
that pocket in the middle. I'm fluent and old guy,
and you know, I got my ear to the screets.
I could speak, we neil a little bit. You have
to now explain to younger people who these people are.
You gotta tell him, Hey, Bob Yucker was a unique dude.
He played baseball, but he was known for the TV.
He was on TV. He did this and that. He
(06:23):
was a broadcaster for all those years since the seventies,
Like wow, yeah they called the mister Baseball because he
lived for baseball pretty amazing. And he was on TV. Yeah,
he was on TV and commercials everything. So it's our
job to keep those legends alive, those names alive. And
I think there's one answer on the board that is
the number one answer for all of us to keep
(06:45):
the legend alive. There's one guy out there and yeah
he's spoken of. Yeah, people talk about him, but man,
if you didn't live it, you'll never know. And it's
our responsibility to pass on the legend. At the count
of three, we all say who we think I'm talking
about in the count of three? Okay, who's legend is
(07:07):
it our responsibility to keep alive? Because today we have
to explain who Bob Uker is to a lot of
for honor and acknowledge Ker. But who's that legend? He's
still alive. I'll give you that hint. Okay, he's still alive.
But who's the legend that we need to keep alive?
On account of three? One two three? Weird weird a
(07:31):
good answer. Weird ow has crazy longevity. He's not that
weird out longevity, though is absurd d but jokingly but
not say weird out. Because if you see all these
young kids on TikTok and Instagram making their own little
parodies and videos, answer.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Who is the original guy doing all that weird you'd out?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But Covino's right, Bo Jackson is the number one answer
because and and I've heard people say this, he never
won an MVP or championship. So a lot of things
that would bring you back to a name in the
past are always like, oh, they were a three time
MVP or a Super Bowl champion or a World Series
Champion on people. You don't need to keep it alive
(08:14):
because it's always going to be alive. A Lah Michael Jordan,
every kid, every nose picking kid. Right now, there's three
year olds right now wearing Jordan's and they recognize the logo.
It's our job to be like yo, Bo Jackson never won,
but let me tell you a kid. In fact, there's
a very viral clip from back in the day. It's
a little older now, but Bo Jackson was at White
Sox training camp. Do you guys remember I think it
(08:36):
was like Adam Laroche's kid or something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He was there picking his nose and he's like, who
are you, Saray.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
He's like, I'm Bo Jackson and he's explaining, like how
great he was. Now he played football, and it's little
kid is in baseball. Yeah, He's like, wait, you played
baseball and football, yep, and I was great at both.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And he's telling his kid who he is.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That's basically our job to do moving forward and today,
like I said, today we tell the younglings, the young ins,
the ween eels who Bob Yuker was because he was
very unique in his path, especially if you're a kid
of the eighties and you watched Mister Belvidere.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Dude, I love that show, and you watched.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Major League movies, and you just know his significance
as mister baseball the commercials. Covino's right, it's our job to, hey,
pull us on your niece or neph for you or
your kid or then you know, the young youngster at
work and just say, you know, Bob, you let me
tell you about Bob Buker. And I think Bo Jackson's
a good example. And I do think We're all is
(09:35):
a good example. I do think you know what. I
know you say that as a joke. I think that's
a really great example because they're like, wait, he sort
of cornered the market on that. Can you name me
another parody guy that's as famous even like anywhere in
the ballpark to weird al corner of the market. You
(09:57):
know who, I say, see this is the late seventies,
early eighties. You know who I think is going to
get this reputation in the next twenty years who we're
We're radio people, right, I mean, I think there's going
to come a point where youngsters won't know the influence
of Howard Stern backetting.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I'm already seeing it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, right, Like you know, podcasting is, podcasting is.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Bigger than ever.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You got the comedy category with the Theo Vonn's and
the cigars and Bert Kreischer's and you know, Joe Rogan
call her daddy. And then in the sports world, I'll
put on I like, I love our show, Yeah, Cabino
and Rich, the world Famous, Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Barstool.
You know, big cat broadcasting such a big thing now.
(10:43):
More than a difference between our type of show is
we're a live radio show that you could still get
on podcast, right, I think you know we're broadcasters who
also do a podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Agreed. I just think that you're right about that. Rich.
They won't know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Because of the influence of all all of these podcasters now,
and it's almost very niche. It's like, hey, do you
want sports? Do you want a comedian doing a podcast?
And it's oh, it's like for an hour a week
or maybe two forty minute episodes. If you ask a
younger kid who's the king of all media, there's a
good chance they'll say Joe Rogan, You're like, no, Howard's
sterny dummy.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Well not anymore. I know.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
But when you were like, who wait, the guy that
has the long hair, oh curly here.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
How many do you guys know off hand? How many
years it's been now since he changed his politics?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh man, yeah, I mean things flipped. It's been a good.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Ooh man, five six years, probably because we worked at
Sirius XM with him. We're still part of Serius XM
now and a lot of us, a lot of you could.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Hear us eighty three.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He still has his fans, and he still makes hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But the youngsters don't don't know, they don't know, they
don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
And a lot of his fans stay his fans because
they feel in debt to him for what he did before.
Because I see his fan page almost every day and
there's complaining on there about almost every show that he
does now.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh yeah, but his diehards will carry it for yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Well, and the people the comments underneath always say, well
why are you still subscribing? Because I'm hoping he's gonna
go back to the old Howard. So there's people still
holding on.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So today we're honoring Bob Uker, keeping his legend alive,
especially as a broadcaster or announcer. All the things he
did amazing, Right, but in your own life Fox Sports
Radio Nation. Before we get into the other meat, give
us a call in the world famous Coveno on Red
Show at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Who
do you find yourself? Keeping alive? Whose legend is anyone else?
(12:38):
I got two like Rich, you got a four year
old son and a seven year old daughter. There's got
to be a guy or something like Do you tell
him about Andre the Giant? They're like, no, wait, dad,
I've showed my kids. No, I've showed my kids like
Hulk Cogan, Macho man. Andre Theaghina said he had twenty
two inch Python twenty four in twenty right, I'm sorry,
(12:58):
twenty four inch Python.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
No wait, dad. If you're a kid like I said,
depends on what generation seventies, eighties, nineties.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I'm a kid of the eighties. You know, I grew
up in the eighties and nineties. If you're forties, you're
the same. You know, eighties nineties. I'm a little older
than you.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Rich.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So I remember Hogan when he had the twenty two
inch five times they got bigger as the steroids. Two
people that come to mind from me. When everyone's daughter
and son maybe are obsessed with Taylor Swift and she's
making billions of dollars and she's the biggest global star
in the world. I almost feel like you need to
(13:33):
remind youngsters that you know, there was once a Madonna
and Michael Jackson. You might think of this guy as
the creepy guy. Wait, the creepy guy with the glove,
by the way, that's That would have been my answer,
because I can't tell you how many conversations I've had
with my daughter, who's fifteen, right, trying to explain. Imagine
(13:54):
Billie Eilish, Imagine Justin Bieber, Imagine all your favorite bands combined,
all your Beyonces of the world combine them.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Still not bigger.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You're Taylor Swift, harder too, Still not bigger than what
Michael Jackson meant to the eighties. Tell no way, dad, Really,
Taylor Swift is the closest thing, and I think it's level.
He doesn't think so, but but I mean, I think
Taylor Swift is not shutting down the Chiefs game. Michael
Jackson couldn't even go to a Lakers game. Taylor Swift
goes around the world and every country on planet Earth.
(14:26):
There's people in parking lots trying to get in. She's
that level. She doesn't live in a world of mystique
and celebrity that Michael Jackson existed in. So if he
made a public appearance, it's almost like the world shutdown
because he was so internationally famous. But anyway, she affected
the ratings of the biggest sport already on planet Earth
(14:47):
in the United States. I'm not downplaying her popularity. I'm
just saying I don't think she's Michael Michael Jackson's Jackson's
and again, his legend precedes himself.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But kids won't really understand. So you have to try
to explain.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Two athletes that both my sons have asked me about
because they've seen clips online Jerry Rice Good Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Dad, what made him so fast? It's like, I don't know, yeah,
for a quick first step or something.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
And dB will feel me on this one because our daughter,
who's just turned fourteen, she was asking because she saw
the highlight of his son hitting.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The hole in one Tiger Woods.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
She has no idea what Tiger Woods was us to
us when we were kid.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's the unfortunate side of the controversy he found himself in,
because when the books are written, some kids might only know, like, yeah,
didn't he like cheat on his wife or something?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But yeah, but before that he was a legend. I'll
tell you. When you're saying Dan Byerth the you're gonna
say Steve Largin.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Then when he was narrowing it down, I'm like, wait
a second, there can't be too many. I knew it
was going to be Bosworth, not from Danny g that's
for sure. I'll tell you one that I tried to
and it's more of a franchise. But as you guys
mentioned earlier, mister Belvedere, just the Brady Bunch show as
it is, is one that my three year old now
asks to watch. And I feel there's something about that,
(16:10):
that specific sitcom that has transcended so many other thing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I think a lot of other shows.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Have gone by the wayside we don't necessarily care about anymore.
But I think our generation, even though it wasn't my
generation when that show was on, I wasn't even born
when that show was on, still being able to carry it.
We watched an episode last night. It's yeah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So that's where I go.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I love that answer because there's so much explaining involved
in us. You'll show your kid like Brady Bunch like, yeah,
but let me explain. Like Dan said, it wasn't on
when I was a kid. They just played reruns.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And it didn't really air that long. But we loved it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But it relate to it really, But it's just greats.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Of kids love this show.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It was a blended family, which really wasn't talked about
much back then. And you know that they were all
living together and and and they had Alice. Yeah, and
you know what, Dan, this is crazy and the Butcher.
Have you thought about taking your little kid to see
the actual house because it's like a stone throw away.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yes, yeah, it's not in there, not that. Have you
been inside. No, I've seen the outside in Studio City. Yeah,
it's read by my chiropractice.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
It was when Sam was dating Jam Yes, right, Sam
was cousin Oliver. So anyway, I always I like that
answer because it's just no one really understands if they're younger,
how we even consume that show, because they're like they
look at you, like, how old are you?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
How did you even watch this?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One of the things I know one of the things
I know I suck at is acknowledging old timey time
stuff because it doesn't register with my eyes. Old black
and white movies are very hard for me to watch.
And someone pointed something out to me once, and I
feel like I need to do it to a younger generation.
I pictured Marlon Brando. He's like fat, old Marlon Brando. No,
(18:12):
but you don't understand it. I remember someone being like
Marlon Brando was a hunk, and I'm like, wait, what
the fat guy? Wait the old Then I watched street
Car named Desire in like a film class, and I'm like,
that stud turned into yeah, Now, I did not give
this guy enough credit. And because he got hit with
disease and because he's not what we remember, I think
(18:35):
it's our responsibility to tell our kids the coolest dude
on planet Earth in the eighties was Michael J.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Fox. I love that answer too. I think that's a
great answer.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I mean, he's still cool and he's still fighting a
cause for Parkinson's and everything, but no kid will ever
realize that there was a moment in time where Michael J. Fox, Well,
you know why rich because he was one of the
few that were able to cross over to TV start
a movie star. He was doing family a Hollywood Back
to the Future. There was a moment in time where
Michael J. Fox was the definition.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Of like cool.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Some legends live on their own. Some you really need
to explain. And today, like we said, Bob Uker passed away,
it's our job to explain why he was significant to
a younger generation.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Can I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'm shocked that we don't see who else comes to
mind for you. I'm shocked that we live in a
world where I don't know about you. My social media feeds,
as I joke, other than butt cheeks filled with sports
and comedy usually right, I'm seeing a million clips Matt Rife,
you know to Bears, I'm seeing all the same clips
you're seeing Theovonne, you know, Cheetos, Santino and Bobby Lee.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We see all this comedy out there.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
He gave Theovon two shout outs today? How many shoutouts
he given you? I like theo I like Theovon too,
But he's shouting me out the world famous Covino and
Rich show. Well, maybe he will know, Maybe he will
for all the comedy we consume now, Guys like Richard
Pryor and George Carlin, someone needs to be cutting up
their clips and putting those on Instagram or TikTok, because
(20:07):
those are guys that sort of paved the way for
these comics. They were towing the line and being edgy.
So to me, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, if you
got a kid that's into comedy, you might need to
school on them and say, listen, sometimes comedy dies if
you don't show people the specials in the videos.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Hey, can I shamelessly promote something? Then? Speaking of those two,
what are you working on outside of this? What are
you a big shot or something?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I already did it on the History Channel wherever you
stream the History Channel. I was part of a series,
one of the main contributors on a series called The
Icons That Built America. Derek Cheeter produced it, and there
was an episode where so Bathly wants to be called
into a meeting in Jeters. Oh, I can't wait. There
(20:52):
was an episode called Kings of Comedy that I was
featured in and I talked about Richard Pryor and George Carlin.
It's called Kings of Comedy Episode six, Icons Dept. Built
America on the History Channel. Check it out wherever you
stream the History Channel on demand. But again, I do
think it's our responsibility. Our parents generation did it to us.
(21:15):
It's our job now to do it to a younger generation.
These kids arena like, well, why was Bob Buker significant? Well, well,
let me explain. You know what, you know what we
gotta do. We gotta take all the feedback. The phones
are all lit. So eight seven, seven, nine nine on
Fox in honor of the late great Bob Buker. The
guy was a weak shy of hitting ninety one. What
(21:36):
a life, mister Baseball, mister Belvidere, he played the dad
major League mister Belvidere legend in honor of him. What
other legends need their story? Tult Bob Buker passed away.
He's known for the seven ms. Some of the young
(21:56):
people are like, yeah, the broadcaster guy, and like, yeah,
he was a great podcaster. But he did this this,
that Miller, like mister Belvidere, mister Baseball, Milwaukee Braves guy
did it all Major League, Major League. Some legends require
an explanation. Everybody knows that Michael J. Fox was an
(22:18):
icon of the eighties, but what requires the explanation When
your kid sees back to the future, he pause it
and you explain.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This dude was probably the most likable dude of the eighties.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
He was a TV star and a movie star at
the same time, and at that time that was unheard
of really on that level.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now we see it all the time, but it was rare.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It was rare that the fact that he was on
Family Ties, which at the time was one of the
top shows on network television, and he was starring in movies.
Right back then it was you were one of the
other one or the other. Bo Jackson. Yeah, maybe your
kid's heard of him. But what they don't realize. Pause
you see that run Bosworth. Pause.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
What you don't know, nos picking kid.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is that he was the best baseball player at the
same time he was the best football player.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, he didn't dabble. He didn't dabble.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I'm gonna add one more. I know Danny g has
a few examples. Again, because it's our job. It's our
job to keep these stories alive. I'llah Bob Buker's style, right,
that's what he did. So whose legacy are you keeping alive?
I feel sometimes as we're getting a little wiser, not
older that when I've grown grown.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
When I speak to someone who's a little younger than me,
I'm like, yeah, Dave Winfield and they're like yeah, heard
of them?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Like they're not hurd of them. Dave Winfield is drafted
in every major sport. Heard of them?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Like, I feel like that requires a little explanation, you know,
Danny G Who do you got?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
This one will be close to home for you guys,
especially because of where you grew up. There would be
no hip hop format without them, there would be no
Aerosmith as we know them today.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Run DMC. Yeah, people probably take it for granted.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, there's there's an amazing docusaries on Peacock right now
called Kings from Queen's.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Oh I saw it? Yeah, Oh so good? Great, it
was great. Yeah, they changed the face of music. They
really did.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, you know what, young kid, Younger people don't even
realize that it's a music genre that started in our lifetime.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Normal to them to have all those channels and options.
We have no idea that you weren't able to see
that on MTV until Michael Jackson and Run DMC and again.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
These things are also passed down to us, but it's
our job to pass down. Like I didn't realize until
a certain point in life. I was like, wait, you
mean reggae really didn't exist and on a mainstream level
until like the Whalers and those guys were starting to
do it, Like you just assume that it was always around,
Like no, that sound and that music genre started, Like you.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Don't know those things. And to.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Antoli Cavino's saying, there are people that need no backup
who Michael Jordan is. You don't need to tell kids
about certain athletes and stars. You don't need to explain Nirvana.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
They get it.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You know, kadies know who Michael Jackson is, but they
don't realize how big the Thriller video. There's artists athletes that,
for some circumstance, you do need to keep their legacy
alive by just refreshing with your kids. Like I said,
your niece's nephews, I have a bunch of a bunch.
I don't want to take anyone's answer. So let's go
(25:27):
through the phones Crossfire. Let's start with Eric, Ohio Cavino
and Rich what's up man.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
Hey, we've got to Remember Howard Costell. I was a
kid in the seventies, Remember how dude.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I just I immediately think of his relationship with Muhammad
Ali and how many famous clips they have together, for sure,
and I would say it would be your job to
tell us right now how impactful he was.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Well, the importance was, like I'm a kid in the
seventies and I'm watching Sunday night football, Monday night football,
and this was the stat guy. This was the guy
that knew how many first downs, this guy had thrown,
how many touchdowns he had thrown. None of this stuff
was on computer back then. Howard Cosell knew all the stats.
(26:18):
He knew everything by heart. And he brought that to
us on TV when you had somebody famous there that
played the football there beside of him. But Howard Cosell
knew all the stats.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Speaking of announcers, I will go back to a guy
we already mentioned. But what John Madden brought as far
as color commentating, like just the silly stuff like hey,
look at the birds on the stadium, or like just
a funny filler perspective, paved the way for others to say, well,
that's an interesting way to be the number two in
the booth.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
What I think is interesting as well, and something because
I said Brady Bunch of this caller says Howard Gosell.
Howard Cosell was was about time, but he wasn't like
I was really and didn't necessarily understand it's there is
there's our generation of what we know. But then there's
also our duty to take the stuff that the previous
generation tried to continue to carry on, which I would
(27:13):
say is something like Howard co sal to continue to
do it.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
To me, I think Monday Night Football. I think Al,
Frank and Dan. That was my combo. I know when
people talk about oh Buckan Aikman are good, I'm like that.
But you know what my childhood, I think of Al
and Frank and Dan. They're gonna get this party started.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Monday Night football and Frank Gifford would set the scene,
but Al Michaels would do the play by play.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And I was never a huge Deerdorf guy.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, I always said no you no guy and a
Deerdorf I know, all right, what's gonna Dug and boys,
We'll take all your phocals, but one more for now, Doug,
what's up Dougie doug Hey, guys.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Gonna set the scene for you. I grew up in
the seventies, single mom. She had two jobs. Sometimes she
couldn't get a babysitter for her night job. So my
sister and I would sit in the corner boom have
a honky tonk bar, listening to seventies country music. And
you got to keep that stuff alive. Merle Hagar, Tom
t Hall, Charlie Pride, those storytellers with their ballads, some.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Of the some of those older artists. For sure, I
wrote down, let me go through my quick We'll go
right to dB.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Thank you, Bud.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
In the world of our our world broadcasting every year
on New Year's Eve, I'm glad that Ryan Seacrest keeps
Dick Clark's New Year's rockety because Dick Clark was such
an innovator in broadcasting, hosting everything. What he meant to
music and hosting and TV. Dick Clark absolutely, Oh, that's
a great one. I wish somebody would carry the torch
for Casey Kay something like that.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You know they Seacrest doesn't countdown, Spider Harrison does, but
you're Casey Cason was a that's a great as Honestly,
his voice was probably so you replaced, trumental and influential
on us even getting into radio. How captivating was his
voice when he kid and you heard him do an
a countdown, You're like.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
We're reading a letter from You're like.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
This dude, whoever's on the other side of the microphone
is magical.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I heard him for the first time I found out
about I'm from Save of the Bell. Yeah, he was
on the Zach Attack.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I remember that, but you know he just listening to him,
It really was like, Wow, the radios, it's it's an
amazing medium.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You know, we got so many more. But let's go
to Dan Buyer for an update and stay on the hole,
stay on the phones. We gotcha. I'm glad.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I'm glad you went to me because I've been here
longer than all of you guys. And I remember when
Casey Casem would still do his countdown show in these studios.
In that studio over there, I've seen some get coffee.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Yeah, in sad they've saved his sign that's still hanging
on the wall in the Faction studio.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That is really cool you guys about that.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah, that's a great piece of piece of history, all right,
legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Buker passing away today
at the age of ninety. So many places that you
know Yuker, maybe the least of which was that he
was the voice of the Brewers for it almost the
entire existence of the franchise. But lost a great one
today in Bob Buker. Now, let's move on to the
National Football League with the Cowboys requested permission to speak
(30:03):
with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore about their head coaching vacancy. More,
a former Cowboys assistant and player, Jets interviewed Arthur Smith
and Bobby Slowak for their head coaching vacancy. While Texans
running back Joe Mixon didn't practice today because of an
ankle injury, He's listed as questionable for Saturday's game against
the Chiefs as our linebacker as He's Al Shire and
wide receiver Robert Woods for Houston, Linons running back David
(30:26):
Montgomery and Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner off the injury report.
Both will play Saturday night in Detroit. Ravens wide receivers
a Flowersmiths practice again today because of his knee injury.
Speaker 2 (30:39):

But it's also Joe Flacco's birthday. He's the Big four

Speaker 2 (31:31):
He still got some juice. You know.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
It's also lin Manuel Miranda's birthday. So Dan Buyer just
keeps moving down the list.

Yeah, of all time, our generation's best backups, and then
take it to enter.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Like Rodney Pete do you go up? Throw him in there?

While we get your feedback rolling, I do want to
wish a special happy birthday. We are celebrating Joe Flacco
turning forty today, and we're talking about the best backups,
the best supporting cast members. But I also want to
(33:34):
wish a happy birthday to one of my favorite dudes
in his forties. I'm forty brings us joy every day,
Dan Byer, Yeah, no, no, no, I'm talking about aj We.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Bring up it's his birthday too. He turns forty nine today.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Oh sorry, dB, he did not make my list of
fellow January sixteenth birthday.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
He's pretty famous. What about Rodny millsap? Shout out to
Ronnie Mills SAP today.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I give that three booms.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Do you remember the sports calendar when you were a kid,
each day. Yes, Dizzy Dean was always listed on mine.
AJ Foyd to Dizzy Dean where the January sixteenth one, Well,
now it's a.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Dean AJ Not so sure. He brings the boom every day.
So we're bringing the book. You didn't bring Dan Bayer
a double chunk chocolate chip, no chocolate cookie. I did not,
but now I have to, So in honor of Flaco's birthday,
we're gonna talk about the best backups in life. And
it's not necessarily backup quarterback. It's just that guy that's
(34:39):
got your back. You know who I think of. And
you could say it was a duo or a tandem,
but Danny G when you brought up run DMC before
in our previous conversation, I'm gonna stay down that route
a little bit. And I don't think a tribe called
Quest would have been what they were or without Fife
(35:00):
Dog because it's Q tip. Everybody knows his Q tip,
but you needed five to just switch it up to
go back and forth with, and to me, he was
that perfect backup dude to make them the nirvana of
hip hop. A tribe call Quest microphone check one to
what is this yo?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
You need that guy. Based on what you just said.
You referenced Bo Jackson in a famous round.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Oh yeah, backups in sports, but also, like you said,
backups people that got your back in life. You know
what I thought you were gonna say, Believe it or not,
I think you're gonna say, who's the Fresh Prince without
dj Jaz Jeff's.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That's his guy.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
That's his like sort of sidekick, that's his backup. That's
his dude. But the guy that doesn't get as much
shine but important. You know, he also came up with
that theme song in like fifteen minutes. So I do
think Fife Dog was that perfect compliment to Q Tip
in a tribe call quest, that perfect second guy at backup.
(35:57):
You know, you just uh said the theme song for
Fresh Prince. You probably know the story, I know, but
you know it's a fun one to share that it's
a quickie. When The Fresh Prince of bel Air became
a huge show, Quincy Jones, the legend who we recently
lost as well, legend Quincy Jones, had come up with
(36:18):
a theme song for the Fresh Prince of bel Air,
and as legendary as Quincy is, I mean, the guy
behind generations of music. I mean, I even gained more
respect for him when I watched that We Are the
World documentary and realize that every A list musician just
sweated Quincy Jones. I gained more respect when I realized
he did the Sanford and Son theme. I'm like, seriously,
(36:39):
I didn't know you did that. So everything he did
the Fresh Prince theme and Jazzy Jeff and Will had
come up with in Westville, Ludolf you have born and raised,
and they were like, Yo, you can't present this to Quincy.
He came up with a theme and they're like, no, no,
We'll just go with the theme that Quincy came up with.
And then finally, I think it was Jazz who said no, no,
(37:03):
just show Quincy please, and Quincy Joe was like, yeah,
this is great. The one I made I just sort
of put together and didn't care about. So they almost
didn't have the legendary Fresh Prince theme had not Will
and Jazz finally.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Had the huevos enough to be like, yeah, Quincy, the
theme you can yeah with.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
They said his was kind of like on the cornball side,
like you know, your average TV sitcom.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Speaking of cornballs, I feel like Will Smith's second hand
man backup in music is different than it was on TV.
I think in his music career, Yeah, it was jazzy
Jeff Right, that was his guy. But on TV you
said it in our meeting, Danny G. Carlton was his
backup dude. That was that's the guy, right, that was
(37:47):
the guy.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
He was the huge co star of that show.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
And it's so odd because growing up as an eighties kid,
Alfonso Robiro was like the coolest kid going tap dance kidd.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
He did all the Michael Jackson moves.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
He's in that Pepsi commercial, he was on silver Spoons,
he was break dancing all the time.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And then he took on that.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Corn ball ball roll and it sort of like created
a stigma for him. But he was still the backup
to Will Smith on that show Man.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
To play the straight man. Yeah, yeah, so who is
that guy?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
It could be the second string backup on your team,
that dude who steps in, that dude who delivers.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But he's not.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
He doesn't have the main character energy anymore because Flacco did.
He won a super Bowl, But he's the perfect backup now, Cove.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
I think of some of our old football cards, Bubby Bristo,
Oh yeah, Bobby Bristol for sure, Vince Evans, Frank Reich
one I wrote down more modern?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
How about Nick Foles? Nick Foles, big Nick.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Stepped in for Carson Wentz. Yeah, without a doubt, that's
a great one think about.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
You know, in the twenty tens, there was always a
team that had some fits. Magic. He was a great
backup because he was as a backup.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
And every he's one of the smartest guys ever in
the NFL. Yeah, he was one of those guys who
was like, way up there, you felt very comfortable if
Fitzmagic was your backup go to guy.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
You know what the best backup in NFL history is?
Is this a real answer? Are you just messing? I'm
being real all right? This yere?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I know I'm such a I'm like, I know you're
doing a show with the comedian over here, But no,
this is a real answer. Steve Young. To think that
Steve Young wasted the eight get this. This is interesting
because he's a Hall of Famer, one of my favorites.
We all know Steve Young, obviously, but when you put
a perspective, we talk about how man Jordan Love had
to sit for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Aaron Rodgers sat for a couple of years. Another backup there.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Steve Young sat as a backup for five years, and
those five years were age twenty six to thirty.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, that's insane to think.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
That Steve Young could have been even more insane he
said he then he sat again, Then he's, then he
said that he's and then finally Bill Walsh and and
then later Sea for We're like, all right, Steve Young.
But there was a time where Steve Young could have
been a pro bowler on any other team, but for
years when the Bucks trade him to the Niners, remember
(40:13):
Bill Walsh was thinking, I want to move to Young quicker,
but then Montana had the fans and ownership wanting Joe Montana.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
But Steve Young. If you're gonna talk backups, the fact
that that guy was a backup for.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Five years, well that's exactly what we're talking about in
honor of Joe Flacco again, Anthony richardson injury prone. You
need this guy, like, who are the best dudes in
supporting roles in sports and entertainment? Who comes to mind
for you? Maybe sidekicks, it's just basically supporting role. But
they deliver and step up when you need him eight seven,
(40:46):
seven ninety nine on Fox, we gave you our answers.
Let's take a few phone calls now. Also, it's up
to Jimmy. What's up, Yimmy, Texas, know.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Real quick.
Speaker 9 (40:59):
I do have to say a couple of things. I
just wanted to say that, Uh Cavino or patreon dot
com slash Cavino and Rich the Bobby Ucker scene with
him and Andrea the Giant. I had always seen the gift,
but I never knew what he said until y'all showed
it today. Yeah, where he tells Andre, can you get
your foot off my shoulder? And then he show chokes
him out.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, it's hilarious. We played this morning on our on
our Patreon podcast. The whole clip is WrestleMania three with
Bob Uker and he's interviewing Andre. Out of nowhere, Andre
comes behind Bob Buker puts his hand on Youkr's shoulder
and it looks like his hand is of a month.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
He says, can you get your foot off?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And that famous clip of Andre's giant jokingly strangling Bob.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
His hand looks so bad. That's why looks like a
little doll ahead. You know, his his hands cover his
entire neck. It's wild.
Speaker 9 (41:49):
U to bring Dan Bayer back up on the list.
I was going to tell you that I heard Dan
Byer was the one that actually gave Katy kase from
the story about Fluffy passing in between the upbeat songs.
So he's back to number one.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
He's back to number one.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
The famous clip of the Casey Caseum outtakes was because
of Dan Byer.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
I bee, yeah, we're starting the rumor. Yes, thank you.
Thanks Jimmy, Oh, Jimmy, who's your backup?
Speaker 9 (42:10):
By the way, Kate Keenum is my backup? I think
that guy is. I'm a Texan fan. He did great
for us to get from Minnesota. I think also, so
he's my backup.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Yeah, he's even got his own TV commercials now, you know,
could you could argue that if you look around in
the National Football League and say, who's the guy that
wasn't when you say backup?
Speaker 1 (42:30):
So he called the call up. He called to call
up about Casey Caseum and case Keenum.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
It's a tongue twister.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
So when you think about this category could go in
all directions because if it's people that were never really
intended to be the star, but they were just great.
Some people are great stars at playing the tambourine, as
Chris Rock would say, some people are great at it.
If you talk about athletes that were never really designed
(42:59):
to end up where they were, a guy that's about
to be the sixty million dollar man, Rock Party, what
was a backup to Jimmy Garoppolo that we thought would
never play in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (43:10):
What remember we were at the game. We happened to
be at that game.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Cavino and I were with some of our buddies a
weekend away and as a Niners fan, I'm like, who's
in there, Rock Purty, Oh yeah, that's our backup. The
guy's about to be one of the richest quarterbacks in
the NFL. And as a Mets fan, I don't know
if people really know this. Texas Ranger multi time cy
Young Award winner Jacob de gram was a shortstop that
(43:35):
was converted into a pitcher and only got an opportunity
to start because the Mets were so bad and needed
spot starters. And they're like, you know what, Jacob de Grom, That's.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
Why I'm going to give prompts to a sports guy.
Let's hear it. Fill in. Frank Isola. I like Frank.
I like that guy a lot.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Frank iol is a really nice guy because his whole
role is hey, so and sos off on TV and
some sports show at our old network. He steps in
and it's like, you don't even miss.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
The other guy, the ultimate backup. He's like the ultimate Hey,
who's calling out? Yeah, Frank, you guys are Dan Patrick's
back up? Yeah, and you know.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
But the key is like to be able to hold
your own, you know, and and and really just do it.
The reality is the guy here that not only is
the number one update guy has his own show on
the weekend, the birthday, I know, the birthday by himself
for every single show on this network, has his own show.
Let me tell you, DP me. When I hear him,
(44:33):
it's it's you know, he's he's one of the best
out there for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Let's go to Josh and Ohio. What's up Josh?
Speaker 10 (44:41):
Hey, guys, Happy Thursday. So my backup is more of
the all time best hype man legendary group. There would
be no rock rap genre without them. Flavor Play got
to give it up.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I mean, he's just yeah, the original hype man. Yeah,
we've had him on our show at Radio Row.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Yeah. No, there's no better to ever do it, and
he's still doing it.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
He was playing the Duke's Mayo mascot during the Duke's
Mayo Bowl. Do you know that? He was so funny?
Speaker 4 (45:11):
It was like, what's that Fox show? The mass singer?
He was parading around as the mascot and that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 5 (45:19):
He gained a lot of traction during the Olympics, remember,
because he was helping Olympians to pay for bills.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
I think he's always in the news for something. Flavor Flavor,
So any other backups come to mind in the world
of sports and entertainment. As the meme goes, do you
think our parents in the eighties and nineties would have
ever thought the most likable Americans are Snoop Dogg and
Flavor Flav?
Speaker 2 (45:39):
No? Never, never, ever, No.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
It was a decade ago, guys that Ohio State lost
to their quarterback JT. Barrett, who was actually taking over
for Braxton Miller, and they had to turn to Cardil
Jones in the Big Ten championship game, which they dominated
Wisconsin and then ended up getting into the College Football
Playoff and winning a national champion and Chip cardil Jones
then was the start of the next year, but they
(46:04):
decided to go back to J. T. Barrett because the
offense just ran better. But during those three games, Cardil
Jones let Ohio State to a national champions.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Great answer, dB, And you know, if you want to
talk about NFL backups, I'll give you a hint. We
already shouted out Nick falls backup quarterback to win a
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, that's a great answer.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I want you to go back to your childhood. He
sort of resembles your dad because of the mustache. My dad, Yanni, Yannie, No, no, yea,
not Dennis, Jeff.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Garcia, Rick Rude, Jeff Hosteler. There you go.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Phil went down and the Giants still found the way
to win that Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
And don't tell me. Al Davis then went and paid
him to be a starter.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
I remember when he went to the Raiders. I'm like, oh,
I don't know if this is the best decision. Hostetler,
All right, Mike and Ohio wrap it up, buddy.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Boy, Hey, what's the best backup?
Speaker 7 (47:00):
The movie A TV has gotta be.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Doneach, I mean I'll never ever ignore her.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
There's always a debate amongst our pals of are you
a mister Furley guy or a mister Roper guy. I
am very adamant when it comes to being a mister
Furley guy. Yeah, don Knots made everything funny.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
I think. I think that's a great answer.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
But I think I think of Jack Tripper's sidekick because
Don Knots did always play that sidekick role, right Andy
Griffith Three's company. But Larry Larry was Jack's backup, that
was his wingman, right there, Larry Dallyopolis, Larry Dallas.
Speaker 5 (47:37):
Kim believe we've done this segment, Coveno, and you've not
included your favorite NFL backup of all time to Rod
or as we call him, Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
You know, I always thought he had more game than
than he delivered on him guy. I thought he was good.
I really did like him, and I always paid close
attention because my brother was a Bills fan and I
just always liked how he played. So yeah, he was
one of my favorite backups for sure. Cove you ever
see you know how Colin does that segment I love
where it's like blind stats where he doesn't tell you
(48:06):
who the guy is, and you're like, wow, those stats
are better or worse than I thought. I think recently
I saw like Tarat Taylor's stats against someone that's a legend,
and it's like, yo, he had some years where he
was pretty decent. Yeah, he was a sick player. I
always enjoyed. He was fun to watch, you know, so
I did. That really would be my answer as far
as who was my favorite backup quarterback? You're right, Dan
(48:29):
Eg that is my answer. Eight seven seven ninety nine.
L Fox, We'll take a few more phones. What what
about singers? I know there was a documentary about backup singers.
The best backup singer is that dude from Mariah Carey song,
Remember the song when she did I'll be There and
then some other guy. He was just a backup. He's like, ah,
I'll be there a comfort you. That guy he was
(48:52):
just her backup dude. Really yeah, and he just tore
he just owned that whole part of the song and
it became legends.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
They're they're saying, I just looked it up. You're talking
Trey Lorenz. Trey Lorenz. Yeah, that's the that's the guy.
Is that the guy is that his name with yeah
with Mariah Carrey, that's TLNZ. Dude.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
Yeah, that dude was nasty. He was her backup, so yeah,
he came out with a hit song of his own
after that.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
From what I understand, Cheryl Crowe is considered one of
the more successful backup singers. She she was on Michael
Jackson songs and a bunch of stuff you might not
even know. And Cheryl crow then became well, you know,
along those lines. Luther Vandros was a big backup singer,
huge backup. He's on so many songs, dude, look it up,
he's in. He's in more songs than you would even know.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
You know, you know. Sea was a backup singer for
Jamir Koy.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
How about Tupac was a backup dancer for for uh
diggable Planets Digital I mean digital underground digital. I was
like I knew I wasn't saying right, digital underground dance
nothing with trouble. Yes, he was Linda Ronstat's back up
band where the Eagles, right, like that's insane, right, go
(50:06):
to the phones, wrap it up. Greatest backups in honor
of Joey Flacco, Tim who again really shows his value
as a backup Texas well, I said to you before,
I said, you know, on a team with Anthony Richardson,
who you know is prone to.
Speaker 2 (50:20):
Miss a couple snaps or a game.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Here there to have a veteran that still seems to
have it, and Flako said he still wants to play
a few more years. He turns forty today, and uh,
you know, following the Tom Brady blueprint of I'm gonna
play into my forties, he has a Super Bowl champ.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
What's up? Tim?
Speaker 6 (50:36):
Hey, Hey guys Thursday.
Speaker 9 (50:37):
Back at you man, Patrick Mahomes' rookie season when he
was backing up Alex Miscount.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
No, the goal was always to eventually go to him.
I think it has to be someone that.
Speaker 3 (50:47):
Came out of note Tom Brady was a backup Tom
Brady on the Tom Brady the uh the the new
phrase to the Wally Pip right, because you could say
lou gerrig is the ultimate because he came out of
back cup and took it.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
You know, Homes was like sixth overall, wasn't he? Yeah, Mahomes,
there was the air apparent you know it is.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
There was an intention to you don't want to get
bled sowed there was never an intention to go to
Tom Brady early on, which is why I agree with
Kavin one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (51:14):
Moving forward. The phrase you got Wally pipped.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
I know that's more of a sports phrase anyway, but
you know, lu Garry gallypip. You want to keep that
legacy and story alive. I agree, So I don't want
to talk out of both sides of my mouth, but
I'm much.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
More modern day one.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
You don't want to be bled sod. I mean it's
you know, they talked about the roast and everything. So
let's that wrap back. That really valuable backup could be
the guy that takes your job. Yeah, that's really Let's
say hello to Mark and wrap it with him in
Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
What's up man?
Speaker 7 (51:45):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Thanks man, hope you're staying safe, buddy.
Speaker 7 (51:49):
Thanks best backup all time and I'm not even a
Dolphins fan.
Speaker 10 (51:53):
Has to be Earl Morale.
Speaker 7 (51:54):
Bob Greasy goes down, Earl More leads him to undefeated season.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
And Grease he comes back and wins the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
You know, I I'll be straight up honest with you.
I didn't realize. I didn't realize that was sort of
the story there crap.
Speaker 3 (52:06):
Job by people not carrying the Earl morals story over,
you know from like you talk about keeping a legend.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
Yeah, can I take you a long people? Thank you dB.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
I pride myself on knowing so many dumb fun facts
about the NFL. I feel like the NFL is my strength.
I didn't realize that he started most of the season.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
My fun fact is.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
That the Dolphins had to play the AFC Championship game
on the road that year because they didn't give home
field to the best record, so they had to go
to they were unbeaten, had to go to Pittsburgh to
win the AFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, that's crazy. Didn't lose a game yet somehow found
their way on the road in the playoffs. Yeah, not
to be all over the place because we're gonna move
on to other stuff. But how do you feel about
Roger Goodell saying that they may they may, you know,
fiddle with home field in the wildcard round?
Speaker 2 (52:51):
You like that idea? Yeah? I like the way the.
Speaker 1 (52:53):
Playoffs are now, but I agree, I like the division
winners in the wildcards. But if the wildcard is thirteen
and four, fourteen and three and the division winners ten
and seven.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
I think home field should be the one adjustment they make.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Yeah, winning a division is good enough for a playoff birth,
you shouldn't get a home game with it.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
You know what? Agreed?
Speaker 1 (53:11):
One hundred percent, thank you, dB. Unless we got more
Cavino on Rich next, we're gonna we're gonna get some
more NFL the theory of do buzz kills know their
buzz kills. There's a player that wherever he goes, I'm
not quite sure he realizes he rubs people the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (53:25):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
Play a game on over promise. Terrible this, I'm gonna fail.
I feel it. It's name you get an emotion, getting
emotion about Bob Buker, Name that baby star, playoff the bar,
Name that baby star before they were big NFL stars.
Playoff Edition, we're playing that and Rich's playoff picks on
over promised Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
I'm so bad at this. By the way, I'll give
you an example, Danny J.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
If you show me a baby picture or a childhood
photo of Rock Party, Matthew Stafford, anyone.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
I don't see it.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
Other people look at it and say, oh, look that's
uh Oh, that's poop and a cool you can tell
who it is.
Speaker 5 (54:09):
Oh, that's definitely Uh, what if it's a baby picture
of one of those IG models all over your phone?
Speaker 3 (54:14):
Back then, he was known as Poopa nikouat Sam play
the rim shot on yourself.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
That's good, that's good one. But I'm terrible at this game.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
So play along and watch for yourself and let us
know how you do again. Fox Sports Radio is YouTube page.
If you're listening, watch it. If you're watching, listen, it's
all free. Just search over promised with Covino and Rich
and let us know how you did at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio, right hashtag over promised. So
buzzkill not you buzzkills out there? Do you know your buzzkills?
(54:44):
When you're the guy that goes to the party and
talks to no one and has a frown on the
whole time, do you know you're the buzzkill?
Speaker 2 (54:53):
Yeah, you're the squid word.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
If you have a family member who shows up for Thanksgiving,
they don't talk to anyone, They just complain and they
do they we know they're the buzzkill at work, the
person that really never gets along with anyone. They're never
invited to the happy hour. They're just sort of do
they know they bring down the vibe. And this comes
up because Danny g hit us up with an article
(55:16):
about Russell Wilson, and the reality is Russ could very
well be the guy that doesn't realize.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
Oh, I'm rubbing people the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (55:29):
Apparently he rubbed everybody the wrong way. He's no Johnny Gilt,
Johnny gil he rubbs people the wrong way.
Speaker 5 (55:37):
There's a former former NFL player saying that we know
this happened in Seattle, and now there's a report saying
that some of the locker room in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
But we know what happened in Denver too.
Speaker 1 (55:46):
So if teammates on a winning team in Seattle and
clearly we know what happened in Denver, if Russ just
doesn't have the ability to, I guess you would say,
like make friends, be one of the guys. Or if
that that's just something he struggles with. And they're saying
it's happening in Pittsburgh again, is that correctable or is
that just like, hey man, you're a great player and
(56:07):
maybe a good dude, but you're just never that guy.
It sounds ridiculous. But the Mets signed Jesse Winker today. Yeah,
isn't it very clear guy like him is a clubhouse guy.
I think the Mets have been focused on Alonzo, I know,
but I'm saying they're David right, you need that guy.
There are guys on teams, there's women on sports teams
(56:32):
that it's clear.
Speaker 2 (56:34):
They bring down the mood.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
See maybe somewhere in their life that's the role they
just leaned into. Everyone has to find where they fit
in and figure out their role. And if they weren't
bringing the fun and bringing in the vibes, the good vibes,
maybe it's like, well, this is where I kept my
negative attention from from being the negative Norberto from being
that guy. But even in that press conference with wasn't
(57:00):
it with Pickens when he asked him, do you feel
optimistic about the team movie, He's like nope.
Speaker 5 (57:04):
Yeah, He's like, you're talking about our offense with same
quarterback coming back?
Speaker 2 (57:08):
He was like no, And it was it was odd.
Speaker 1 (57:10):
I was like, I didn't even know how to interpret that.
But now that this story has come out, it's like, well, okay,
then it was obvious. I mean, the problem is Russell
Wilson and he seems like such a good dude. But
at the same time, when you see how his former
teammates talk about him in Seattle and you hear what
they have to say, like he never vibed with anybody.
It never felt like a true cohesive locker room Russ
never brought that vibe. The rest of the guys didn't
(57:32):
get him. And that is just I just wonder, and
it's something to ask yourself. It's more of an open
ended question.
Speaker 2 (57:38):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
I don't think they do that guy or girl at
work that's a buzzkill. Do they even know they're the buzzkill?
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Probably not?
Speaker 1 (57:47):
Probably not right with that thought, we get to over
promise next until then or even there chie maybe you
and the over promised land

some of these? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Major League ding, mister Belvidere ding, Okay, okay to mister Beldere,
mister baseball three this name, mister Belvidere, mister baseball, major
League Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Braves. Maybe six ms. Yeah, I'm
(00:49):
not gonna know the fifth one am I Brews?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh wait Miller Lite. Hey, that was a rehearse who
got them all my bad bad And if you say
Milwaukee Braves Milwaukee Brewers, that's six ems.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So this usually had Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It is Meliewakes for the.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Good lad Thank you, Alice Cooper. But Bob Buker is
just one of those guys who had a really interesting
career because his personality was bigger than his I guess
baseball skill, right, He was all personality. Look here's the story.
He was drafted in nineteen fifty six by the Milwaukee Braves.
(01:34):
I'm sorry, Meliawaukee Braves right nineteen thirty six. He played
from sixty two to sixty seven. He was a catcher
from sixty two to sixty seven. But again, all personality.
He was an all personality kind of guy, clubhouse kind
of guy. He only hit fourteen career home runs. Again,
that's fourteen more than we all hit. But I'm saying,
(01:55):
in the grand scheme of things, he batted two hundred
and then got into the booth in nineteeneteen seventy, never
looked back. And again a personality who just really made
a career of himself of being that guy commercials, mister
Beldere movies, and people forgot that he was actually in
the major leagues. You know that he really was an athlete.
(02:17):
Harry Doyle, Harry Doyle from Major League, the real Deal,
Bob Bucker, mister Baseball has passed away.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I loved him on Mister Belvidere. Some people don't even
remember what that show is, you little twits. I love
mister Belvidere. We all loved Major League Harry Doyle. I mean,
would commercials. Would you argue that one of his calls
in Major League might be repeated more than any other
play by play call of all time.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Top of the sixth man rookie sensation, Ricky Vaughan on
the pitch.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Now where you can close the book on Kelder?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh, thank god bon a juvenile delinquent in the off
season and.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Up in his first offering, Josh the bit outside. He
tried the corner and missed.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I think just for a bit outside, tried the corner
and missed. It might be the most quoted sports call
in movie history. You're playing little league, you're playing high
school baseball, college, it could be a big league game,
and some guy throws an errant pitch way outside.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Just a bit outside is legendary.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I'm not saying by any means I'm special for recognizing
that this guy was unique. But when I realized, wait,
the guy from Mister Belvidere, Harry Doyle from Major League,
he was in actual Major League baseball. I found that
so intriguing because it was so rare and few and
far between when you saw that much personality out of
sports that I sought out his rookie card as a kid.
(03:48):
It was hard to find. It's not like there was
crazy value to it. You had to find a sixty
three tops Bob you grab. I remember buying it. I
still have it till this day. You could see it
on my IG. And you know, he's just one of
those dudes that I would compare to loosely and respectfully,
to a John Madden type for what John Madden was
(04:10):
for football in a lesser way. And I don't say
that disrespectfully in any way, but Bob Bucher's no John Madden.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
He was in that company of insanely colorful when you.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Watched those old school WWF clips with Andrea Giant, when
he watched those Miller Likee commercials. By the way, when
Andre the Giants choking him. That clip is going viral today.
Of course I remember that I was a kid. It's hilarious.
And I don't know if you realize this, if you're
a wrestling fan. He was a ring announcer for arguably
(04:43):
the biggest wrestling match of the eighties, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He was Andre the Giant, He was funny as hell.
He grabs the mic.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It wasn't Howard Finkel who introduced Hogan and Andre.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's also known for the mic. Add seven ms to
that the mic. The mic. So when you think of
Bob Uker, you know Comino.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I'm how could disagree MC There is a parallel that
I can't quite put my finger on. But John Madden
is a They both did those Millie like commercials. It's
also a The only difference might be that Madden had
genuine success as a player or coach in the game.
But besides that, you know, football is more of a
national sport. We're watching the same games youker day in
and day out for the Brewers, so it's different there.
(05:21):
But where their personality trumped everything else they did. Their
personality really paved a way for the rest of their careers.
And he had a great one. Props to him, Bob Buker.
Now here's the other side to the story, depending on
who you're talking to. Right, we work here at Fox
Sports Radio. You have all walks of life. It's the
(05:42):
best place to be, one of the best places we've
ever worked at. But you got guys like Mike who
runs this place. Mike's like eighty seven years old, right,
and then you got Mike who runs this place, and
then you got Mary mack. Who's hell, well is she
twenty one? She don't know Bob Bucker from anyone? She's
like who right?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And you have to explain it.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And there's guys like guys who are right there in
that pocket in the middle. I'm fluent and old guy,
and you know, I got my ear to the screets.
I could speak, we neil a little bit. You have
to now explain to younger people who these people are.
You gotta tell him, Hey, Bob Yucker was a unique dude.
He played baseball, but he was known for the TV.
He was on TV. He did this and that. He
(06:23):
was a broadcaster for all those years since the seventies,
Like wow, yeah they called the mister Baseball because he
lived for baseball pretty amazing. And he was on TV. Yeah,
he was on TV and commercials everything. So it's our
job to keep those legends alive, those names alive. And
I think there's one answer on the board that is
the number one answer for all of us to keep
(06:45):
the legend alive. There's one guy out there and yeah
he's spoken of. Yeah, people talk about him, but man,
if you didn't live it, you'll never know. And it's
our responsibility to pass on the legend. At the count
of three, we all say who we think I'm talking
about in the count of three? Okay, who's legend is
(07:07):
it our responsibility to keep alive? Because today we have
to explain who Bob Uker is to a lot of
for honor and acknowledge Ker. But who's that legend? He's
still alive. I'll give you that hint. Okay, he's still alive.
But who's the legend that we need to keep alive?
On account of three? One two three? Weird weird a
(07:31):
good answer. Weird ow has crazy longevity. He's not that
weird out longevity, though is absurd d but jokingly but
not say weird out. Because if you see all these
young kids on TikTok and Instagram making their own little
parodies and videos, answer.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Who is the original guy doing all that weird you'd out?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But Covino's right, Bo Jackson is the number one answer
because and and I've heard people say this, he never
won an MVP or championship. So a lot of things
that would bring you back to a name in the
past are always like, oh, they were a three time
MVP or a Super Bowl champion or a World Series
Champion on people. You don't need to keep it alive
(08:14):
because it's always going to be alive. A Lah Michael Jordan,
every kid, every nose picking kid. Right now, there's three
year olds right now wearing Jordan's and they recognize the logo.
It's our job to be like yo, Bo Jackson never won,
but let me tell you a kid. In fact, there's
a very viral clip from back in the day. It's
a little older now, but Bo Jackson was at White
Sox training camp. Do you guys remember I think it
(08:36):
was like Adam Laroche's kid or something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He was there picking his nose and he's like, who
are you, Saray.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
He's like, I'm Bo Jackson and he's explaining, like how
great he was. Now he played football, and it's little
kid is in baseball. Yeah, He's like, wait, you played
baseball and football, yep, and I was great at both.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And he's telling his kid who he is.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That's basically our job to do moving forward and today,
like I said, today we tell the younglings, the young ins,
the ween eels who Bob Yuker was because he was
very unique in his path, especially if you're a kid
of the eighties and you watched Mister Belvidere.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Dude, I love that show, and you watched.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Major League movies, and you just know his significance
as mister baseball the commercials. Covino's right, it's our job to, hey,
pull us on your niece or neph for you or
your kid or then you know, the young youngster at
work and just say, you know, Bob, you let me
tell you about Bob Buker. And I think Bo Jackson's
a good example. And I do think We're all is
(09:35):
a good example. I do think you know what. I
know you say that as a joke. I think that's
a really great example because they're like, wait, he sort
of cornered the market on that. Can you name me
another parody guy that's as famous even like anywhere in
the ballpark to weird al corner of the market. You
(09:57):
know who, I say, see this is the late seventies,
early eighties. You know who I think is going to
get this reputation in the next twenty years who we're
We're radio people, right, I mean, I think there's going
to come a point where youngsters won't know the influence
of Howard Stern backetting.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I'm already seeing it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, right, Like you know, podcasting is, podcasting is.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Bigger than ever.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You got the comedy category with the Theo Vonn's and
the cigars and Bert Kreischer's and you know, Joe Rogan
call her daddy. And then in the sports world, I'll
put on I like, I love our show, Yeah, Cabino
and Rich, the world Famous, Dan Patrick, Colin Cowherd, Barstool.
You know, big cat broadcasting such a big thing now.
(10:43):
More than a difference between our type of show is
we're a live radio show that you could still get
on podcast, right, I think you know we're broadcasters who
also do a podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Agreed. I just think that you're right about that. Rich.
They won't know.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Because of the influence of all all of these podcasters now,
and it's almost very niche. It's like, hey, do you
want sports? Do you want a comedian doing a podcast?
And it's oh, it's like for an hour a week
or maybe two forty minute episodes. If you ask a
younger kid who's the king of all media, there's a
good chance they'll say Joe Rogan, You're like, no, Howard's
sterny dummy.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Well not anymore. I know.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
But when you were like, who wait, the guy that
has the long hair, oh curly here.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
How many do you guys know off hand? How many
years it's been now since he changed his politics?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh man, yeah, I mean things flipped. It's been a good.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Ooh man, five six years, probably because we worked at
Sirius XM with him. We're still part of Serius XM
now and a lot of us, a lot of you could.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Hear us eighty three.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He still has his fans, and he still makes hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But the youngsters don't don't know, they don't know, they
don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
And a lot of his fans stay his fans because
they feel in debt to him for what he did before.
Because I see his fan page almost every day and
there's complaining on there about almost every show that he
does now.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh yeah, but his diehards will carry it for yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Well, and the people the comments underneath always say, well
why are you still subscribing? Because I'm hoping he's gonna
go back to the old Howard. So there's people still
holding on.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So today we're honoring Bob Uker, keeping his legend alive,
especially as a broadcaster or announcer. All the things he
did amazing, Right, but in your own life Fox Sports
Radio Nation. Before we get into the other meat, give
us a call in the world famous Coveno on Red
Show at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Who
do you find yourself? Keeping alive? Whose legend is anyone else?
(12:38):
I got two like Rich, you got a four year
old son and a seven year old daughter. There's got
to be a guy or something like Do you tell
him about Andre the Giant? They're like, no, wait, dad,
I've showed my kids. No, I've showed my kids like
Hulk Cogan, Macho man. Andre Theaghina said he had twenty
two inch Python twenty four in twenty right, I'm sorry,
(12:58):
twenty four inch Python.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
No wait, dad. If you're a kid like I said,
depends on what generation seventies, eighties, nineties.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I'm a kid of the eighties. You know, I grew
up in the eighties and nineties. If you're forties, you're
the same. You know, eighties nineties. I'm a little older
than you.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Rich.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So I remember Hogan when he had the twenty two
inch five times they got bigger as the steroids. Two
people that come to mind from me. When everyone's daughter
and son maybe are obsessed with Taylor Swift and she's
making billions of dollars and she's the biggest global star
in the world. I almost feel like you need to
(13:33):
remind youngsters that you know, there was once a Madonna
and Michael Jackson. You might think of this guy as
the creepy guy. Wait, the creepy guy with the glove,
by the way, that's That would have been my answer,
because I can't tell you how many conversations I've had
with my daughter, who's fifteen, right, trying to explain. Imagine
(13:54):
Billie Eilish, Imagine Justin Bieber, Imagine all your favorite bands combined,
all your Beyonces of the world combine them.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Still not bigger.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You're Taylor Swift, harder too, Still not bigger than what
Michael Jackson meant to the eighties. Tell no way, dad, Really,
Taylor Swift is the closest thing, and I think it's level.
He doesn't think so, but but I mean, I think
Taylor Swift is not shutting down the Chiefs game. Michael
Jackson couldn't even go to a Lakers game. Taylor Swift
goes around the world and every country on planet Earth.
(14:26):
There's people in parking lots trying to get in. She's
that level. She doesn't live in a world of mystique
and celebrity that Michael Jackson existed in. So if he
made a public appearance, it's almost like the world shutdown
because he was so internationally famous. But anyway, she affected
the ratings of the biggest sport already on planet Earth
(14:47):
in the United States. I'm not downplaying her popularity. I'm
just saying I don't think she's Michael Michael Jackson's Jackson's
and again, his legend precedes himself.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But kids won't really understand. So you have to try
to explain.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Two athletes that both my sons have asked me about
because they've seen clips online Jerry Rice Good Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Dad, what made him so fast? It's like, I don't know, yeah,
for a quick first step or something.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
And dB will feel me on this one because our daughter,
who's just turned fourteen, she was asking because she saw
the highlight of his son hitting.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The hole in one Tiger Woods.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
She has no idea what Tiger Woods was us to
us when we were kid.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's the unfortunate side of the controversy he found himself in,
because when the books are written, some kids might only know, like, yeah,
didn't he like cheat on his wife or something?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But yeah, but before that he was a legend. I'll
tell you. When you're saying Dan Byerth the you're gonna
say Steve Largin.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Then when he was narrowing it down, I'm like, wait
a second, there can't be too many. I knew it
was going to be Bosworth, not from Danny g that's
for sure. I'll tell you one that I tried to
and it's more of a franchise. But as you guys
mentioned earlier, mister Belvedere, just the Brady Bunch show as
it is, is one that my three year old now
asks to watch. And I feel there's something about that,
(16:10):
that specific sitcom that has transcended so many other thing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I think a lot of other shows.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Have gone by the wayside we don't necessarily care about anymore.
But I think our generation, even though it wasn't my
generation when that show was on, I wasn't even born
when that show was on, still being able to carry it.
We watched an episode last night. It's yeah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So that's where I go.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I love that answer because there's so much explaining involved
in us. You'll show your kid like Brady Bunch like, yeah,
but let me explain. Like Dan said, it wasn't on
when I was a kid. They just played reruns.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And it didn't really air that long. But we loved it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But it relate to it really, But it's just greats.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Of kids love this show.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It was a blended family, which really wasn't talked about
much back then. And you know that they were all
living together and and and they had Alice. Yeah, and
you know what, Dan, this is crazy and the Butcher.
Have you thought about taking your little kid to see
the actual house because it's like a stone throw away.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yes, yeah, it's not in there, not that. Have you
been inside. No, I've seen the outside in Studio City. Yeah,
it's read by my chiropractice.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
It was when Sam was dating Jam Yes, right, Sam
was cousin Oliver. So anyway, I always I like that
answer because it's just no one really understands if they're younger,
how we even consume that show, because they're like they
look at you, like, how old are you?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
How did you even watch this?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One of the things I know one of the things
I know I suck at is acknowledging old timey time
stuff because it doesn't register with my eyes. Old black
and white movies are very hard for me to watch.
And someone pointed something out to me once, and I
feel like I need to do it to a younger generation.
I pictured Marlon Brando. He's like fat, old Marlon Brando. No,
(18:12):
but you don't understand it. I remember someone being like
Marlon Brando was a hunk, and I'm like, wait, what
the fat guy? Wait the old Then I watched street
Car named Desire in like a film class, and I'm like,
that stud turned into yeah, Now, I did not give
this guy enough credit. And because he got hit with
disease and because he's not what we remember, I think
(18:35):
it's our responsibility to tell our kids the coolest dude
on planet Earth in the eighties was Michael J.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Fox. I love that answer too. I think that's a
great answer.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I mean, he's still cool and he's still fighting a
cause for Parkinson's and everything, but no kid will ever
realize that there was a moment in time where Michael J. Fox, Well,
you know why rich because he was one of the
few that were able to cross over to TV start
a movie star. He was doing family a Hollywood Back
to the Future. There was a moment in time where
Michael J. Fox was the definition.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Of like cool.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Some legends live on their own. Some you really need
to explain. And today, like we said, Bob Uker passed away,
it's our job to explain why he was significant to
a younger generation.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Can I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'm shocked that we don't see who else comes to
mind for you. I'm shocked that we live in a
world where I don't know about you. My social media feeds,
as I joke, other than butt cheeks filled with sports
and comedy usually right, I'm seeing a million clips Matt Rife,
you know to Bears, I'm seeing all the same clips
you're seeing Theovonne, you know, Cheetos, Santino and Bobby Lee.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We see all this comedy out there.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
He gave Theovon two shout outs today? How many shoutouts
he given you? I like theo I like Theovon too,
But he's shouting me out the world famous Covino and
Rich show. Well, maybe he will know, Maybe he will
for all the comedy we consume now, Guys like Richard
Pryor and George Carlin, someone needs to be cutting up
their clips and putting those on Instagram or TikTok, because
(20:07):
those are guys that sort of paved the way for
these comics. They were towing the line and being edgy.
So to me, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, if you
got a kid that's into comedy, you might need to
school on them and say, listen, sometimes comedy dies if
you don't show people the specials in the videos.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Hey, can I shamelessly promote something? Then? Speaking of those two,
what are you working on outside of this? What are
you a big shot or something?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I already did it on the History Channel wherever you
stream the History Channel. I was part of a series,
one of the main contributors on a series called The
Icons That Built America. Derek Cheeter produced it, and there
was an episode where so Bathly wants to be called
into a meeting in Jeters. Oh, I can't wait. There
(20:52):
was an episode called Kings of Comedy that I was
featured in and I talked about Richard Pryor and George Carlin.
It's called Kings of Comedy Episode six, Icons Dept. Built
America on the History Channel. Check it out wherever you
stream the History Channel on demand. But again, I do
think it's our responsibility. Our parents generation did it to us.
(21:15):
It's our job now to do it to a younger generation.
These kids arena like, well, why was Bob Buker significant? Well, well,
let me explain. You know what, you know what we
gotta do. We gotta take all the feedback. The phones
are all lit. So eight seven, seven, nine nine on
Fox in honor of the late great Bob Buker. The
guy was a weak shy of hitting ninety one. What
(21:36):
a life, mister Baseball, mister Belvidere, he played the dad
major League mister Belvidere legend in honor of him. What
other legends need their story? Tult Bob Buker passed away.
He's known for the seven ms. Some of the young
(21:56):
people are like, yeah, the broadcaster guy, and like, yeah,
he was a great podcaster. But he did this this,
that Miller, like mister Belvidere, mister Baseball, Milwaukee Braves guy
did it all Major League, Major League. Some legends require
an explanation. Everybody knows that Michael J. Fox was an
(22:18):
icon of the eighties, but what requires the explanation When
your kid sees back to the future, he pause it
and you explain.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
This dude was probably the most likable dude of the eighties.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
He was a TV star and a movie star at
the same time, and at that time that was unheard
of really on that level.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now we see it all the time, but it was rare.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It was rare that the fact that he was on
Family Ties, which at the time was one of the
top shows on network television, and he was starring in movies.
Right back then it was you were one of the
other one or the other. Bo Jackson. Yeah, maybe your
kid's heard of him. But what they don't realize. Pause
you see that run Bosworth. Pause.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
What you don't know, nos picking kid.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is that he was the best baseball player at the
same time he was the best football player.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, he didn't dabble. He didn't dabble.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I'm gonna add one more. I know Danny g has
a few examples. Again, because it's our job. It's our
job to keep these stories alive. I'llah Bob Buker's style, right,
that's what he did. So whose legacy are you keeping alive?
I feel sometimes as we're getting a little wiser, not
older that when I've grown grown.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
When I speak to someone who's a little younger than me,
I'm like, yeah, Dave Winfield and they're like yeah, heard
of them?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Like they're not hurd of them. Dave Winfield is drafted
in every major sport. Heard of them?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Like, I feel like that requires a little explanation, you know,
Danny G Who do you got?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
This one will be close to home for you guys,
especially because of where you grew up. There would be
no hip hop format without them, there would be no
Aerosmith as we know them today.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Run DMC. Yeah, people probably take it for granted.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, there's there's an amazing docusaries on Peacock right now
called Kings from Queen's.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Oh I saw it? Yeah, Oh so good? Great, it
was great. Yeah, they changed the face of music. They
really did.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, you know what, young kid, Younger people don't even
realize that it's a music genre that started in our lifetime.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Normal to them to have all those channels and options.
We have no idea that you weren't able to see
that on MTV until Michael Jackson and Run DMC and again.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
These things are also passed down to us, but it's
our job to pass down. Like I didn't realize until
a certain point in life. I was like, wait, you
mean reggae really didn't exist and on a mainstream level
until like the Whalers and those guys were starting to
do it, Like you just assume that it was always around,
Like no, that sound and that music genre started, Like you.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Don't know those things. And to.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Antoli Cavino's saying, there are people that need no backup
who Michael Jordan is. You don't need to tell kids
about certain athletes and stars. You don't need to explain Nirvana.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
They get it.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You know, kadies know who Michael Jackson is, but they
don't realize how big the Thriller video. There's artists athletes that,
for some circumstance, you do need to keep their legacy
alive by just refreshing with your kids. Like I said,
your niece's nephews, I have a bunch of a bunch.
I don't want to take anyone's answer. So let's go
(25:27):
through the phones Crossfire. Let's start with Eric, Ohio Cavino
and Rich what's up man.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
Hey, we've got to Remember Howard Costell. I was a
kid in the seventies, Remember how dude.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I just I immediately think of his relationship with Muhammad
Ali and how many famous clips they have together, for sure,
and I would say it would be your job to
tell us right now how impactful he was.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Well, the importance was, like I'm a kid in the
seventies and I'm watching Sunday night football, Monday night football,
and this was the stat guy. This was the guy
that knew how many first downs, this guy had thrown,
how many touchdowns he had thrown. None of this stuff
was on computer back then. Howard Cosell knew all the stats.
(26:18):
He knew everything by heart. And he brought that to
us on TV when you had somebody famous there that
played the football there beside of him. But Howard Cosell
knew all the stats.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Speaking of announcers, I will go back to a guy
we already mentioned. But what John Madden brought as far
as color commentating, like just the silly stuff like hey,
look at the birds on the stadium, or like just
a funny filler perspective, paved the way for others to say, well,
that's an interesting way to be the number two in
the booth.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
What I think is interesting as well, and something because
I said Brady Bunch of this caller says Howard Gosell.
Howard Cosell was was about time, but he wasn't like
I was really and didn't necessarily understand it's there is
there's our generation of what we know. But then there's
also our duty to take the stuff that the previous
generation tried to continue to carry on, which I would
(27:13):
say is something like Howard co sal to continue to
do it.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
To me, I think Monday Night Football. I think Al,
Frank and Dan. That was my combo. I know when
people talk about oh Buckan Aikman are good, I'm like that.
But you know what my childhood, I think of Al
and Frank and Dan. They're gonna get this party started.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Monday Night football and Frank Gifford would set the scene,
but Al Michaels would do the play by play.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And I was never a huge Deerdorf guy.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, I always said no you no guy and a
Deerdorf I know, all right, what's gonna Dug and boys,
We'll take all your phocals, but one more for now, Doug,
what's up Dougie doug Hey, guys.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Gonna set the scene for you. I grew up in
the seventies, single mom. She had two jobs. Sometimes she
couldn't get a babysitter for her night job. So my
sister and I would sit in the corner boom have
a honky tonk bar, listening to seventies country music. And
you got to keep that stuff alive. Merle Hagar, Tom
t Hall, Charlie Pride, those storytellers with their ballads, some.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Of the some of those older artists. For sure, I
wrote down, let me go through my quick We'll go
right to dB.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Thank you, Bud.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
In the world of our our world broadcasting every year
on New Year's Eve, I'm glad that Ryan Seacrest keeps
Dick Clark's New Year's rockety because Dick Clark was such
an innovator in broadcasting, hosting everything. What he meant to
music and hosting and TV. Dick Clark absolutely, Oh, that's
a great one. I wish somebody would carry the torch
for Casey Kay something like that.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You know they Seacrest doesn't countdown, Spider Harrison does, but
you're Casey Cason was a that's a great as Honestly,

on us even getting into radio. How captivating was his
voice when he kid and you heard him do an
a countdown, You're like.

Speaker 3 (29:21):

In that studio over there, I've seen some get coffee.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Yeah, in sad they've saved his sign that's still hanging
on the wall in the Faction studio.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That is really cool you guys about that.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah, that's a great piece of piece of history, all right,
legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Buker passing away today
at the age of ninety. So many places that you
know Yuker, maybe the least of which was that he
was the voice of the Brewers for it almost the
entire existence of the franchise. But lost a great one
today in Bob Buker. Now, let's move on to the
National Football League with the Cowboys requested permission to speak
(30:03):

a former Cowboys assistant and player, Jets interviewed Arthur Smith
and Bobby Slowak for their head coaching vacancy. While Texans

ankle injury, He's listed as questionable for Saturday's game against
the Chiefs as our linebacker as He's Al Shire and

Speaker 2 (33:47):

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Oh sorry, dB, he did not make my list of
fellow January sixteenth birthday.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
He's pretty famous. What about Rodny millsap? Shout out to
Ronnie Mills SAP today.
Speaker 2 (34:02):

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Do you remember the sports calendar when you were a kid,

AJ Foyd to Dizzy Dean where the January sixteenth one, Well,
now it's a.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Dean AJ Not so sure. He brings the boom every day.
So we're bringing the book. You didn't bring Dan Bayer
a double chunk chocolate chip, no chocolate cookie. I did not,
but now I have to, So in honor of Flaco's birthday,
we're gonna talk about the best backups in life. And
it's not necessarily backup quarterback. It's just that guy that's
(34:39):
got your back. You know who I think of. And
you could say it was a duo or a tandem,
but Danny G when you brought up run DMC before
in our previous conversation, I'm gonna stay down that route
a little bit. And I don't think a tribe called
Quest would have been what they were or without Fife
(35:00):
Dog because it's Q tip. Everybody knows his Q tip,
but you needed five to just switch it up to
go back and forth with, and to me, he was
that perfect backup dude to make them the nirvana of
hip hop. A tribe call Quest microphone check one to
what is this yo?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
You need that guy. Based on what you just said.
You referenced Bo Jackson in a famous round.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Oh yeah, backups in sports, but also, like you said,
backups people that got your back in life. You know
what I thought you were gonna say, Believe it or not,
I think you're gonna say, who's the Fresh Prince without
dj Jaz Jeff's.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That's his guy.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
That's his like sort of sidekick, that's his backup. That's
his dude. But the guy that doesn't get as much
shine but important. You know, he also came up with
that theme song in like fifteen minutes. So I do
think Fife Dog was that perfect compliment to Q Tip
in a tribe call quest, that perfect second guy at backup.
(35:57):
You know, you just uh said the theme song for
Fresh Prince. You probably know the story, I know, but
you know it's a fun one to share that it's
a quickie. When The Fresh Prince of bel Air became
a huge show, Quincy Jones, the legend who we recently
lost as well, legend Quincy Jones, had come up with
(36:18):
a theme song for the Fresh Prince of bel Air,
and as legendary as Quincy is, I mean, the guy
behind generations of music. I mean, I even gained more
respect for him when I watched that We Are the
World documentary and realize that every A list musician just
sweated Quincy Jones. I gained more respect when I realized
he did the Sanford and Son theme. I'm like, seriously,
(36:39):
I didn't know you did that. So everything he did
the Fresh Prince theme and Jazzy Jeff and Will had
come up with in Westville, Ludolf you have born and raised,
and they were like, Yo, you can't present this to Quincy.
He came up with a theme and they're like, no, no,
We'll just go with the theme that Quincy came up with.
And then finally, I think it was Jazz who said no, no,
(37:03):
just show Quincy please, and Quincy Joe was like, yeah,
this is great. The one I made I just sort
of put together and didn't care about. So they almost
didn't have the legendary Fresh Prince theme had not Will
and Jazz finally.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Had the huevos enough to be like, yeah, Quincy, the
theme you can yeah with.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
They said his was kind of like on the cornball side,
like you know, your average TV sitcom.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Speaking of cornballs, I feel like Will Smith's second hand
man backup in music is different than it was on TV.
I think in his music career, Yeah, it was jazzy
Jeff Right, that was his guy. But on TV you
said it in our meeting, Danny G. Carlton was his
backup dude. That was that's the guy, right, that was
(37:47):
the guy.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
He was the huge co star of that show.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
And it's so odd because growing up as an eighties kid,
Alfonso Robiro was like the coolest kid going tap dance kidd.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
He did all the Michael Jackson moves.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
He's in that Pepsi commercial, he was on silver Spoons,
he was break dancing all the time.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And then he took on that.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Corn ball ball roll and it sort of like created
a stigma for him. But he was still the backup
to Will Smith on that show Man.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
To play the straight man. Yeah, yeah, so who is
that guy?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
It could be the second string backup on your team,
that dude who steps in, that dude who delivers.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
But he's not.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
He doesn't have the main character energy anymore because Flacco did.
He won a super Bowl, But he's the perfect backup now, Cove.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
I think of some of our old football cards, Bubby Bristo,
Oh yeah, Bobby Bristol for sure, Vince Evans, Frank Reich
one I wrote down more modern?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
How about Nick Foles? Nick Foles, big Nick.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Stepped in for Carson Wentz. Yeah, without a doubt, that's
a great one think about.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
You know, in the twenty tens, there was always a
team that had some fits. Magic. He was a great
backup because he was as a backup.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
And every he's one of the smartest guys ever in
the NFL. Yeah, he was one of those guys who
was like, way up there, you felt very comfortable if
Fitzmagic was your backup go to guy.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
You know what the best backup in NFL history is?
Is this a real answer? Are you just messing? I'm
being real all right? This yere?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I know I'm such a I'm like, I know you're
doing a show with the comedian over here, But no,
this is a real answer. Steve Young. To think that
Steve Young wasted the eight get this. This is interesting
because he's a Hall of Famer, one of my favorites.
We all know Steve Young, obviously, but when you put
a perspective, we talk about how man Jordan Love had
to sit for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Aaron Rodgers sat for a couple of years. Another backup there.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Steve Young sat as a backup for five years, and
those five years were age twenty six to thirty.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, that's insane to think.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
That Steve Young could have been even more insane he
said he then he sat again, Then he's, then he
said that he's and then finally Bill Walsh and and
then later Sea for We're like, all right, Steve Young.
But there was a time where Steve Young could have
been a pro bowler on any other team, but for
years when the Bucks trade him to the Niners, remember
(40:13):
Bill Walsh was thinking, I want to move to Young quicker,
but then Montana had the fans and ownership wanting Joe Montana.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
But Steve Young. If you're gonna talk backups, the fact
that that guy was a backup for.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Five years, well that's exactly what we're talking about in
honor of Joe Flacco again, Anthony richardson injury prone. You
need this guy, like, who are the best dudes in
supporting roles in sports and entertainment? Who comes to mind
for you? Maybe sidekicks, it's just basically supporting role. But
they deliver and step up when you need him eight seven,
(40:46):
seven ninety nine on Fox, we gave you our answers.
Let's take a few phone calls now. Also, it's up
to Jimmy. What's up, Yimmy, Texas, know.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Real quick.
Speaker 9 (40:59):
I do have to say a couple of things. I
just wanted to say that, Uh Cavino or patreon dot
com slash Cavino and Rich the Bobby Ucker scene with
him and Andrea the Giant. I had always seen the gift,
but I never knew what he said until y'all showed
it today. Yeah, where he tells Andre, can you get
your foot off my shoulder? And then he show chokes
him out.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, it's hilarious. We played this morning on our on
our Patreon podcast. The whole clip is WrestleMania three with
Bob Uker and he's interviewing Andre. Out of nowhere, Andre
comes behind Bob Buker puts his hand on Youkr's shoulder
and it looks like his hand is of a month.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
He says, can you get your foot off?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And that famous clip of Andre's giant jokingly strangling Bob.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
His hand looks so bad. That's why looks like a
little doll ahead. You know, his his hands cover his
entire neck. It's wild.
Speaker 9 (41:49):
U to bring Dan Bayer back up on the list.
I was going to tell you that I heard Dan
Byer was the one that actually gave Katy kase from
the story about Fluffy passing in between the upbeat songs.
So he's back to number one.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
He's back to number one.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
The famous clip of the Casey Caseum outtakes was because
of Dan Byer.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
I bee, yeah, we're starting the rumor. Yes, thank you.
Thanks Jimmy, Oh, Jimmy, who's your backup?
Speaker 9 (42:10):
By the way, Kate Keenum is my backup? I think
that guy is. I'm a Texan fan. He did great
for us to get from Minnesota. I think also, so
he's my backup.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Yeah, he's even got his own TV commercials now, you know,
could you could argue that if you look around in
the National Football League and say, who's the guy that
wasn't when you say backup?
Speaker 1 (42:30):
So he called the call up. He called to call
up about Casey Caseum and case Keenum.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
It's a tongue twister.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
So when you think about this category could go in
all directions because if it's people that were never really
intended to be the star, but they were just great.
Some people are great stars at playing the tambourine, as
Chris Rock would say, some people are great at it.
If you talk about athletes that were never really designed
(42:59):
to end up where they were, a guy that's about
to be the sixty million dollar man, Rock Party, what
was a backup to Jimmy Garoppolo that we thought would
never play in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (43:10):
What remember we were at the game. We happened to
be at that game.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Cavino and I were with some of our buddies a
weekend away and as a Niners fan, I'm like, who's
in there, Rock Purty, Oh yeah, that's our backup. The
guy's about to be one of the richest quarterbacks in
the NFL. And as a Mets fan, I don't know
if people really know this. Texas Ranger multi time cy
Young Award winner Jacob de gram was a shortstop that
(43:35):
was converted into a pitcher and only got an opportunity
to start because the Mets were so bad and needed
spot starters. And they're like, you know what, Jacob de Grom, That's.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
Why I'm going to give prompts to a sports guy.
Let's hear it. Fill in. Frank Isola. I like Frank.
I like that guy a lot.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Frank iol is a really nice guy because his whole
role is hey, so and sos off on TV and
some sports show at our old network. He steps in
and it's like, you don't even miss.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
The other guy, the ultimate backup. He's like the ultimate Hey,
who's calling out? Yeah, Frank, you guys are Dan Patrick's
back up? Yeah, and you know.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
But the key is like to be able to hold
your own, you know, and and and really just do it.
The reality is the guy here that not only is
the number one update guy has his own show on
the weekend, the birthday, I know, the birthday by himself
for every single show on this network, has his own show.
Let me tell you, DP me. When I hear him,
(44:33):
it's it's you know, he's he's one of the best
out there for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Let's go to Josh and Ohio. What's up Josh?
Speaker 10 (44:41):
Hey, guys, Happy Thursday. So my backup is more of
the all time best hype man legendary group. There would
be no rock rap genre without them. Flavor Play got
to give it up.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I mean, he's just yeah, the original hype man. Yeah,
we've had him on our show at Radio Row.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Yeah. No, there's no better to ever do it, and
he's still doing it.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
He was playing the Duke's Mayo mascot during the Duke's
Mayo Bowl. Do you know that? He was so funny?
Speaker 4 (45:11):
It was like, what's that Fox show? The mass singer?
He was parading around as the mascot and that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 5 (45:19):
He gained a lot of traction during the Olympics, remember,
because he was helping Olympians to pay for bills.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
I think he's always in the news for something. Flavor Flavor,
So any other backups come to mind in the world
of sports and entertainment. As the meme goes, do you
think our parents in the eighties and nineties would have
ever thought the most likable Americans are Snoop Dogg and
Flavor Flav?
Speaker 2 (45:39):
No? Never, never, ever, No.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
It was a decade ago, guys that Ohio State lost
to their quarterback JT. Barrett, who was actually taking over
for Braxton Miller, and they had to turn to Cardil
Jones in the Big Ten championship game, which they dominated
Wisconsin and then ended up getting into the College Football
Playoff and winning a national champion and Chip cardil Jones
then was the start of the next year, but they
(46:04):
decided to go back to J. T. Barrett because the
offense just ran better. But during those three games, Cardil
Jones let Ohio State to a national champions.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Great answer, dB, And you know, if you want to
talk about NFL backups, I'll give you a hint. We
already shouted out Nick falls backup quarterback to win a
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, that's a great answer.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I want you to go back to your childhood. He
sort of resembles your dad because of the mustache. My dad, Yanni, Yannie, No, no, yea,
not Dennis, Jeff.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Garcia, Rick Rude, Jeff Hosteler. There you go.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Phil went down and the Giants still found the way
to win that Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
And don't tell me. Al Davis then went and paid
him to be a starter.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
I remember when he went to the Raiders. I'm like, oh,
I don't know if this is the best decision. Hostetler,
All right, Mike and Ohio wrap it up, buddy.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Boy, Hey, what's the best backup?
Speaker 7 (47:00):
The movie A TV has gotta be.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Doneach, I mean I'll never ever ignore her.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
There's always a debate amongst our pals of are you
a mister Furley guy or a mister Roper guy. I
am very adamant when it comes to being a mister
Furley guy. Yeah, don Knots made everything funny.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
I think. I think that's a great answer.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
But I think I think of Jack Tripper's sidekick because
Don Knots did always play that sidekick role, right Andy
Griffith Three's company. But Larry Larry was Jack's backup, that
was his wingman, right there, Larry Dallyopolis, Larry Dallas.
Speaker 5 (47:37):
Kim believe we've done this segment, Coveno, and you've not
included your favorite NFL backup of all time to Rod
or as we call him, Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
You know, I always thought he had more game than
than he delivered on him guy. I thought he was good.
I really did like him, and I always paid close
attention because my brother was a Bills fan and I
just always liked how he played. So yeah, he was
one of my favorite backups for sure. Cove you ever
see you know how Colin does that segment I love
where it's like blind stats where he doesn't tell you
(48:06):
who the guy is, and you're like, wow, those stats
are better or worse than I thought. I think recently
I saw like Tarat Taylor's stats against someone that's a legend,
and it's like, yo, he had some years where he
was pretty decent. Yeah, he was a sick player. I
always enjoyed. He was fun to watch, you know, so
I did. That really would be my answer as far
as who was my favorite backup quarterback? You're right, Dan
(48:29):
Eg that is my answer. Eight seven seven ninety nine.
L Fox, We'll take a few more phones. What what
about singers? I know there was a documentary about backup singers.
The best backup singer is that dude from Mariah Carey song,
Remember the song when she did I'll be There and
then some other guy. He was just a backup. He's like, ah,
I'll be there a comfort you. That guy he was
(48:52):
just her backup dude. Really yeah, and he just tore
he just owned that whole part of the song and
it became legends.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
They're they're saying, I just looked it up. You're talking
Trey Lorenz. Trey Lorenz. Yeah, that's the that's the guy.
Is that the guy is that his name with yeah
with Mariah Carrey, that's TLNZ. Dude.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
Yeah, that dude was nasty. He was her backup, so yeah,
he came out with a hit song of his own
after that.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
From what I understand, Cheryl Crowe is considered one of
the more successful backup singers. She she was on Michael
Jackson songs and a bunch of stuff you might not
even know. And Cheryl crow then became well, you know,
along those lines. Luther Vandros was a big backup singer,
huge backup. He's on so many songs, dude, look it up,
he's in. He's in more songs than you would even know.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
You know, you know. Sea was a backup singer for
Jamir Koy.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
How about Tupac was a backup dancer for for uh
diggable Planets Digital I mean digital underground digital. I was
like I knew I wasn't saying right, digital underground dance
nothing with trouble. Yes, he was Linda Ronstat's back up
band where the Eagles, right, like that's insane, right, go
(50:06):
to the phones, wrap it up. Greatest backups in honor
of Joey Flacco, Tim who again really shows his value
as a backup Texas well, I said to you before,
I said, you know, on a team with Anthony Richardson,
who you know is prone to.
Speaker 2 (50:20):
Miss a couple snaps or a game.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Here there to have a veteran that still seems to
have it, and Flako said he still wants to play
a few more years. He turns forty today, and uh,
you know, following the Tom Brady blueprint of I'm gonna
play into my forties, he has a Super Bowl champ.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
What's up? Tim?
Speaker 6 (50:36):
Hey, Hey guys Thursday.
Speaker 9 (50:37):
Back at you man, Patrick Mahomes' rookie season when he
was backing up Alex Miscount.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
No, the goal was always to eventually go to him.
I think it has to be someone that.
Speaker 3 (50:47):
Came out of note Tom Brady was a backup Tom
Brady on the Tom Brady the uh the the new
phrase to the Wally Pip right, because you could say
lou gerrig is the ultimate because he came out of
back cup and took it.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
You know, Homes was like sixth overall, wasn't he? Yeah, Mahomes,
there was the air apparent you know it is.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
There was an intention to you don't want to get
bled sowed there was never an intention to go to
Tom Brady early on, which is why I agree with
Kavin one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (51:14):
Moving forward. The phrase you got Wally pipped.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
I know that's more of a sports phrase anyway, but
you know, lu Garry gallypip. You want to keep that
legacy and story alive. I agree, So I don't want
to talk out of both sides of my mouth, but
I'm much.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
More modern day one.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
You don't want to be bled sod. I mean it's
you know, they talked about the roast and everything. So
let's that wrap back. That really valuable backup could be
the guy that takes your job. Yeah, that's really Let's
say hello to Mark and wrap it with him in
Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
What's up man?
Speaker 7 (51:45):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Thanks man, hope you're staying safe, buddy.
Speaker 7 (51:49):
Thanks best backup all time and I'm not even a
Dolphins fan.
Speaker 10 (51:53):
Has to be Earl Morale.
Speaker 7 (51:54):
Bob Greasy goes down, Earl More leads him to undefeated season.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
And Grease he comes back and wins the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
You know, I I'll be straight up honest with you.
I didn't realize. I didn't realize that was sort of
the story there crap.
Speaker 3 (52:06):
Job by people not carrying the Earl morals story over,
you know from like you talk about keeping a legend.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
Yeah, can I take you a long people? Thank you dB.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
I pride myself on knowing so many dumb fun facts
about the NFL. I feel like the NFL is my strength.
I didn't realize that he started most of the season.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
My fun fact is.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
That the Dolphins had to play the AFC Championship game
on the road that year because they didn't give home
field to the best record, so they had to go
to they were unbeaten, had to go to Pittsburgh to
win the AFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, that's crazy. Didn't lose a game yet somehow found
their way on the road in the playoffs. Yeah, not
to be all over the place because we're gonna move
on to other stuff. But how do you feel about
Roger Goodell saying that they may they may, you know,
fiddle with home field in the wildcard round?
Speaker 2 (52:51):
You like that idea? Yeah? I like the way the.
Speaker 1 (52:53):
Playoffs are now, but I agree, I like the division
winners in the wildcards. But if the wildcard is thirteen
and four, fourteen and three and the division winners ten
and seven.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
I think home field should be the one adjustment they make.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Yeah, winning a division is good enough for a playoff birth,
you shouldn't get a home game with it.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
You know what? Agreed?
Speaker 1 (53:11):
One hundred percent, thank you, dB. Unless we got more
Cavino on Rich next, we're gonna we're gonna get some
more NFL the theory of do buzz kills know their
buzz kills. There's a player that wherever he goes, I'm
not quite sure he realizes he rubs people the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (53:25):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (53:30):
Play a game on over promise. Terrible this, I'm gonna fail.
I feel it. It's name you get an emotion, getting
emotion about Bob Buker, Name that baby star, playoff the bar,
Name that baby star before they were big NFL stars.
Playoff Edition, we're playing that and Rich's playoff picks on
over promised Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
I'm so bad at this. By the way, I'll give
you an example, Danny J.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
If you show me a baby picture or a childhood
photo of Rock Party, Matthew Stafford, anyone.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
I don't see it.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
Other people look at it and say, oh, look that's
uh Oh, that's poop and a cool you can tell
who it is.
Speaker 5 (54:09):
Oh, that's definitely Uh, what if it's a baby picture
of one of those IG models all over your phone?
Speaker 3 (54:14):
Back then, he was known as Poopa nikouat Sam play
the rim shot on yourself.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
That's good, that's good one. But I'm terrible at this game.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
So play along and watch for yourself and let us
know how you do again. Fox Sports Radio is YouTube page.
If you're listening, watch it. If you're watching, listen, it's
all free. Just search over promised with Covino and Rich
and let us know how you did at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio, right hashtag over promised. So
buzzkill not you buzzkills out there? Do you know your buzzkills?
(54:44):
When you're the guy that goes to the party and
talks to no one and has a frown on the
whole time, do you know you're the buzzkill?
Speaker 2 (54:53):
Yeah, you're the squid word.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
If you have a family member who shows up for Thanksgiving,
they don't talk to anyone, They just complain and they
do they we know they're the buzzkill at work, the
person that really never gets along with anyone. They're never
invited to the happy hour. They're just sort of do
they know they bring down the vibe. And this comes
up because Danny g hit us up with an article
(55:16):
about Russell Wilson, and the reality is Russ could very
well be the guy that doesn't realize.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
Oh, I'm rubbing people the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (55:29):
Apparently he rubbed everybody the wrong way. He's no Johnny Gilt,
Johnny gil he rubbs people the wrong way.
Speaker 5 (55:37):
There's a former former NFL player saying that we know
this happened in Seattle, and now there's a report saying
that some of the locker room in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
But we know what happened in Denver too.
Speaker 1 (55:46):
So if teammates on a winning team in Seattle and
clearly we know what happened in Denver, if Russ just
doesn't have the ability to, I guess you would say,
like make friends, be one of the guys. Or if
that that's just something he struggles with. And they're saying
it's happening in Pittsburgh again, is that correctable or is
that just like, hey man, you're a great player and
(56:07):
maybe a good dude, but you're just never that guy.
It sounds ridiculous. But the Mets signed Jesse Winker today. Yeah,
isn't it very clear guy like him is a clubhouse guy.
I think the Mets have been focused on Alonzo, I know,
but I'm saying they're David right, you need that guy.
There are guys on teams, there's women on sports teams
(56:32):
that it's clear.
Speaker 2 (56:34):
They bring down the mood.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
See maybe somewhere in their life that's the role they
just leaned into. Everyone has to find where they fit
in and figure out their role. And if they weren't
bringing the fun and bringing in the vibes, the good vibes,
maybe it's like, well, this is where I kept my
negative attention from from being the negative Norberto from being
that guy. But even in that press conference with wasn't
(57:00):
it with Pickens when he asked him, do you feel
optimistic about the team movie, He's like nope.
Speaker 5 (57:04):
Yeah, He's like, you're talking about our offense with same
quarterback coming back?
Speaker 2 (57:08):
He was like no, And it was it was odd.
Speaker 1 (57:10):
I was like, I didn't even know how to interpret that.
But now that this story has come out, it's like, well, okay,
then it was obvious. I mean, the problem is Russell
Wilson and he seems like such a good dude. But
at the same time, when you see how his former
teammates talk about him in Seattle and you hear what
they have to say, like he never vibed with anybody.
It never felt like a true cohesive locker room Russ
never brought that vibe. The rest of the guys didn't
(57:32):
get him. And that is just I just wonder, and
it's something to ask yourself. It's more of an open
ended question.
Speaker 2 (57:38):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
I don't think they do that guy or girl at
work that's a buzzkill. Do they even know they're the buzzkill?
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Probably not?
Speaker 1 (57:47):
Probably not right with that thought, we get to over
promise next until then or even there chie maybe you
and the over promised land
