show over promised on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page,
you could watch listen if are you, I'd watch. It's
a great listen, but we put it together. I'll be honest,
I think it's better than some TV shows on ESPN, Fox, CBS,
(01:05):
We do the hell of a job. Spot. Your video
package is great, I said video, but hey, over promised
after the show, we're gonna get to a bunch of
stuff we don't get to on today's show. Exactly a
brand new episode. And speaking of great shows, great radio
shows back in the thirty see yeah, just spring am
I stap Ben and Nikola in my pocket when you
(01:27):
had that nickel in your pocket and that's springing your step.
A lot of families got together around the radio and
he listened to The Lone Ranger on this Day. Started
in Detroit nineteen thirty three. By nineteen thirty nine he
went national and over twenty million people we're tuning in
to listen to the Lone Ranger. That's like Joe Rogan numbers.
(01:51):
I mean, it's ridiculous. They're all sitting around the radio too.
So there's so many questions, so many thoughts that come
to mind. We didn't grow up with that, obviously, but
one of our callers said, yeah, man, for us, that
was like listening to the ballgame, and it really was.
You had it on. You just had it on. Family
would listen listening to the car, you listen in your yard,
listen all the time, the personalities involved in radio, the
(02:12):
bits involved that captured our attention. And then we post
a question, what TV shows today are so well written
that they'd actually translate on the radio. And we've come
to the conclusion that it's a lot of the narrated
shows that we enjoyed growing up. Narrated shows, true crime
type of shows that are narrated, like a Dexter, Yeah,
(02:32):
because you hear his inner dialogue and everything is inner monologue. Yeah,
that would be great. And observational comedy shows like a
Seinfelder Curb or something like that. In that baseline and
the lamp track, Yeah, you could picture that. Those are now,
Those are now the you know, podcast transitions, right exactly.
Bill Miami wrapped this, and uh, we'll get into David Benavitez.
(02:52):
I see the zoom signing on. So let's go. What's
up Bill?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Hey, guys, fatal Rich love hearing you, guys, Thank you,
full laugh man, love it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I'm going to talk about the Lone Ranger Chemo Sabby.
I grew up on Black and White and back in
their early eighties when I was a young military man
on radio. Watch if you remember watching some of those
movies of the old radio is the Prick seventy seven
pr seven seven, the old fashioned radio from Korea, Vietnam.
(03:25):
We used to tune that thing on to a frequency
and listen to it with our squad at night, listening
to the Lone Ranger. That's an odd one, now, that's
wild man.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, let me tell you. I know the conversation started
about people would gather around the radio and speak radio,
which we've spent our career in. Right, We've done TV, podcasting, video,
different things, but radio is the base of what Kevino
and I love, and I know we both fell in
love with it in different ways, right and for different reasons.
They say this, and I agree with it that radio
(03:57):
is the most intimate medium because most of the time
when you're listening to the radio, a podcast, music, you
are by yourself, so you feel that one on one
connection with the show you listen to. And if you're
listening to the headphones like most people do, it's right
there in your ear, it's like we're whispering right to you.
So it is very intimate. You watch movies in a
theater with a bunch of other people, you watch shows
(04:18):
with your wife or kids.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Radio.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's usually a very intimate one on one thing, like
what you're hearing right now? And I see him. He's
on the screen now. Gonna see him this weekend in Vegas, Cavino.
That's right, the WBC NWBA light heavyweight belts are on
the line. Let's welcome WBC light heavyweight champion David ben Avida.
(04:42):
What's up, a man? How are you, Mexican Monster? Good
to see you.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I'm doing good, man, I'm doing really good. How you
guys doing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
We're We're excited. We get on our plane tomorrow morning.
We'll cover the fight. See you win? Or what are
we are? We feeling confident?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
My phone? Confident? Did you not see the press conference?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Due?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I'd confidence. Like I said, David Morrell is a good fighter.
That's why I picked him the fight, because I know
when I when I get in the ring with good fighters,
a great David Benoviy, this comes out. And we've been
selling this, this fight really good. You know, the promotion
has been really good. And the good thing about this
and none of this is fake, you know what I mean?
This is all real.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
We we have a gentuine dislike for each other, and
I think the track record shows in history when you
get two fighters like that that really dislike each other,
the fight is amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, well, I'm glad you're one hundred percent confident. Are
you one hundred percent healthy? Because you battled some injuries
with your hand last fight, so no excuses this time around, right,
How are you feeling health wise? Man?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Well, I mean I'm feeling really good. I didn't I
didn't have any excuses last fight. I won the fight,
you know, even though I know you was. I just
told you guys that I had injuries. But there's no
there's no injuries now, you know, we're one hundred percent good,
injury free, and we're looking to put a great show
for the people.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And you said you dislike your opponent, David Morrell. Why
is it exactly? Is it all the trash talk? Is
what he said about your family? What is it about
him that you dislike so much? And does that work
to your advantage here?
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Yeah, it's just a trash talk, you know, just just
a trash talk. And then just seeing him face to face,
those both talking about each other, and then also, you know,
at the end of the day, when you're a fighter,
This comes out, especially if somebody says something to you,
you know, I mean, it's eventually going to come out.
And like I said, I understand this is a business too.
I want to sell as much pay per views as possible.
So you know, we cranked it up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He said, you genuinely disliked that guy, and you said
that that's good for the fight. Does that change your
emotions or is it like just an opponent's an opponent?
Do you really is it? Does it? You know, making
contact feel even better when you hate that guy's face.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah, So when you have emotions like this also, I
mean obviously you have to control the emotion. Yeah, if
you really don't like somebody, that emotion could lead you
to possibly wanting to knock this guy out or inflicting
as much damage as possible. And I've you know, I've
dealt with emotions like this in my previous fights. And
as you guys can see, I'm twenty nine to zero
with twenty four knockcostles.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Work pretty good for.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Me, no doubt. Absolutely. Yeah, both undefeated fighters going at
it this weekend, and you mentioned that you're going to
break his jaw, So it's not just about beating this dude.
You want to hurt this dude? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I want this fight to leave an imprint on the
rest of his life, and I want him to remember
me for the rest of his life too. I want
him so when he thinks about David Benavitez, I wanted
to think like, oh man, I can't even believe that
I ever thought I was gonna beat that guy.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
That guy's a monster.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now, you obviously have your personal expectations. You also have
a reputation of being al monstro as. Mike Tyson named
you the Mexican Monster, so you have that to live
up to. Your fighting for Mexican pride. How do you
view it as far as Mexican fighter versus Cuban fighter.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
To be honest with you, I feel like the Mexican
and Cuban rivalry has been really good. We've had some
great fights, but I just feel like the Mexican fighters
all around, they have they're you know, they're they're more.
They go after you. We don't try to box. We
try to actually go in there and stop the fights
and we try to, you know, knock the fighters out.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
So I reha that in my blood.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
You know what, I mean, I felt like that my
whole career, So I'm expecting to fight like that until
my career is over.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Is it cool that Mike Tyson calls you the Mexican Monsters.
That's got to be cool knowing you know, growing up
in Mike Tyson. Is that cool? It's great.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Yeah, it's amazing, man.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
It's really so like I want you to put in
perspective for you when I might watch Mike Tyson my
whole life. So when him blessing me with the nickname
like that, it not only does it make me happy
and it makes me motivated, but it kind of puts
like my thoughts when I was a little kid thinking
that I was gonna be a world champion, watching Mike
Tyson and Mike Tyson giving me my name, it's like,
(08:43):
oh wow, Like you could really manifest whatever you want
if you work, if you work hard to your dreams.
And right now I'm in I'm in all bliss because
I'm looking out my dreams.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right now, we're here with David Benavitez the Fights this weekend,
We're gonna be out there. We're so pumped, man, so
pumped to have you on the show. How are you
feeling fighting at one seventy five now because you were
so dominant at one sixty eight, do you really feel
the power difference from your opponent from yourself? Like, what
has been the biggest difference for you so far?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
To be honest with you, I didn't really have a
not that I didn't have a good experience, but I
didn't really get to fill one hundred percent myself because
of the injuries I was dealing with. Right this time around,
I'm expecting to feel the power from myself because I'm
you know, I'm one hundred percent good right now. But
as as for opponents punching power, I.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Don't think like that.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Once you go once, once you're a fire and you're
a warrior, you don't think like, oh, this guy gonna
hit hard, this and that.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You just go in there, you do the work and
that's it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You are twenty nine, you know, like you pointed out
twenty four of those coming by knockout. Would you be
shocked if he lasted all twelve rounds?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
You know what I mean? I wouldn't be shocked because
this is boxing.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You know. Sometimes these people, you know, they move around
a lot. But I'm not trying to let it go
to twelve rounds. Like I said, every single round I'm
gonna be in. They're putting as much pressure as possible
to make sure I get that KO.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, let me ask you this ring entrances we've been
going to fight together now, coming off like twenty years. Yeah,
they're getting more intense, you know, more elaborate, more fireworks
and songs and you know, musicians, rappers bringing people down
to the ring. Do you put a lot of thought
into your ring entrance?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yeah, I do, more like a Mexican artists because obviously
I have most of my fans are Mexican and Latino
and stuff, so I definitely do put that my past.
My last fight came out the artist, so this fight
I'm planning on doing coming out with another artist as well. Nice,
but obviously, you know, at the end of the day,
this is a show, you know, and you have to
(10:40):
give the people what they want to see.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
So every fight, every fight is going to get bigger
and bigger. So I am adding artists to all my
fights now.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And I love that because you know, it's all about
entertainment and this gets them hyped up. And I say
this with all due respect David Benavidez. But the cleanest,
the tightest ring entrance I've ever seen was Felix Chavez
your brothers in Creed three. Man, that was pretty cool, dude,
That was though. How was that for you?
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And your brothers on this card too? So yeah, does
that make it more nerve wracking for you? Are you
just so confident in him? So tell me about him
on the card and tell me about seeing him in
the movie.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
No, So, we're really confident because over here on this side,
we work our asses off and we know exactly what
we have. You know, we know exactly what talent we have.
So once you put the talent with the hard work,
you know, and there's no stone on turn here, you know,
we we're not messing around. So I'm gonna have one
hundred percent confidence my brother. It does give me a
little bit nervous, you know, because obviously it's my brother.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
I love my brother.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
But I'm sure he feels the same with me. He
gets a little bit nervous when he watches me fight.
But as to his his entrance in the movie and
just seeing him being in the Creed three, you know,
it's just like I said, we're just living out our dreams.
You know, we're two kids from Phoenix, Arizona. We weren't
really expecting much. And now you know, multiple titles, multiple
belts won, and he's in career and you know it's
gonna keep getting bigger and better. So, like I said, managers,
(12:04):
with all the hard work and dedication, anything could be manifested.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Now, I was gonna say, when you were growing up
in Phoenix with your brother, could you have ever imagine
when you guys are tussling, wrestling in the living room,
throwing pillows at each other. Would you ever imagine that
you guys would both be at this level? Was there
any signs early on, like yo, we got skills, bro.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Yeah, well my brother he was one of the best
amateur fighters in all the Phoenix. But when we were
younger kids, no, we weren't expecting nothing like that. So,
like I said, we didn't expect that, but we were
working towards that. So just the hard work and the
dedication led us to hear. And like I said, now
that I get here, Now that I'm here, I'm just
reaching for the stars and I want bigger and better
(12:43):
things because I know it's possible. So I'm just you know,
like I said, I'm really really happy and I'm really
blessed with everything that's going on in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And we're happy for you. Man, you're talking about the manifesting.
So let's let's talk about it. When you win this fight. Man,
when you win this fight, better Beev also fights Bev.
What in February twenty second February? Right, the winner of
your fight should fight the winner of that fight. How
do you see that panning out?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I feel like honestly, I feel like DeVault won the
first fight. I think he's gonna win again. And so
you know, we're one hundred percent focused on this fight Saturday.
But honestly, where if we get that opportunity, we should
be the number one in line to fight the ball.
So yeah, man, it's gonna be great because some great
things coming our way. And you know, like I said,
(13:32):
stay tuned because you know greatness will be achieved.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Now, personally, I really do want to know this. That
would be a huge fight, a great fight. Those are
great fighters, right, But personally, would you rather fight the
winner if better be a Bible or Canelo? Because everybody
still brings up Canelo, But you know, are you past
that at one seventy five. Are you're not looking back?
What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
To be honest with you, those are two completely different fights.
I think the one would leave that they don't drink them.
I think the one with Canelo is the bigger fight, obviously,
because you know it's more hyped up Mexican versus Mexican.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Canelo, He's achieved a lot. But I think that's the
easier fight than Bible. Honestly, I think I beat Canelo
easier than I beat Vol. I think Bevol he's a
tough fighter, and but I think the Canelo fight is
bigger than the fight versus me and Babol.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
A lot of people think the moral fight this weekend
is tougher than a Canelo fight. Yeah, well, we'll let
you get back to do what you're doing. David Benavitez
on Cavino Rich, one last thing, you're your favorite in
Vegas minus two thirty? Do you ever take a look
at that stuff? Do you want to know how much
your favorite? If you're an underdog, do you care about
that even a little? Does that motivate you?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
No, to be honest with you, I don't really care
looking at that stuff and also a thing that I
hate when people tell me like, hey, I bet I'm
betting on you.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Oh so now you're fucking betting on I'm supposed to win.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Or right right.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
But I don't really look at that, you know, because
you know, some times I don't. I don't really like
to pay attention to that stuff because a fighter, uh in.
In my opinion, every fighter is dangerous and every fighter
is good. So I gotta stay on my focus, you know.
I don't try to. I don't try to, you know,
you know, get stuck up on being being an advantage
of nothing like that.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I just try to stay focused on the fight until
the job is done.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
And actually I got one last question too. We're obviously
very pumped about your fight and what's next for you.
What's a fight you want to see.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Just like an al in boxing, Yeah, versus Canelo will
be good.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
So I would love to see I would love to
see Devin Haney versus uh, I mean Devin Haney, Ryan
Garcia versus Tank two. I be a really good fight,
but with no weight clause.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, man, Hey, well we're wishing you the best
and thank you for your time. We'll see you this
weekend in Vegas. David Ben, thank you friend, thank you man.
See the Streek Mexican monster named by Mike Tyson. The
dude is nasty. And let me just put this in
perspective to everybody wants to see this Canlo fight, and
it would be a battle because Canelo's tough, right, Yeah,
but Canelo didn't translate at one seventy five. He lost
(16:09):
to bevil right says the power wasn't the same. Canello's
five foot seven. I'm not saying that matters, but he's
a smaller dude, right, who fights at one sixty eight
five p seven. El monstro here is six foot two
and he walks around at two hundred pounds, so he's
a much bigger dude. Keep that in mind. Benevidez six
to two hundred pounds. I mean he's fighting at one
(16:31):
seventy five once, you know, but he's still a bigger guy.
But Canelo Alvarez, because you see him against other fighters,
sometimes you lose that perception of Heightack, he's five seven exactly.
So it's gonna be a battle. And don't sleep on
David Morel. It's not a warm up fight. It's going
to be a battle and they dislike each other. And
we're gonna be out there this weekend from Radio Row
(16:52):
at MGM starting tomorrow, So tune in Covino and Rich
and if you want to see the fight on Saturday,

Speaker 4 (17:28):

So listen out starting tomorrow. You never know who's going
to stop by the show Live from Vegas for Benavetez
Morele that's this weekend Saturday Night. David Benavidez looks pretty
(19:50):
confident man. He looks like he's in great shape again.
Big dude slims down one seventy eight. He's hard to beat.
He's beat some big names, Andreid, Caleb Plant, He's beat
him all. I think he would beat Canelo. I really do.
It'd be a great fight and a lot of pride
on the line. I'm excited to see him. I've seen
him on pay per view. This is going to be
the first time I see him in person. The Mexican
(20:12):
monster and rich you know back in the day on
his come up, he used to spar at Triple G.
I wanted to ask him about that. But if we
see him in Vegas, I mean, we'll talk to him
about it. But again, the winner of this fight gets
the winner of Better bv Bible the rematch. So thanks again.
If you missed any of it, catch the podcast and

seven pm on the East. Over Promised with Cavino and
Rich I can tell you right now, we're going to
talk about the evolution of sport trophies and logos based
(20:56):
on that Bill Belichick story saying that the Vince Lombardi
Trophy should be renamed the Tom Brady Trophy. So we're
gonna go over some other maybe potential possible changes in
trophies and logos. We'll go over the Super Bowl logos.
We talk about how well the NFL seems to do
everything right. It's one of the few things the NBA
has really nailed recently because when you think about all

a buddy. Now. When you think about super Bowl fifty
(21:59):
nine and you think about licks, like I said, tickets
seven plus Grand New Orleans, great party city, there is
a part of you that wonders. And this is the
maybe we'll get into a little more and over promise
as well. Will Travis Kelcey? Is it even you think
(22:20):
it's even on his mind at all? Like how to
handle Taylor Swift? Because there's a prop bet what do
you mean, how to handle her? Like how to like
because there's a lot of people saying maybe they'll get engaged.
I mean, we don't even know if that's really on
his radar or if the timing's right, But if they're
(22:40):
really on that page, I think no better time. Is
that a selfish move? Does they take away attention.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I was gonna say, he's not a Cam Newton, so
I don't see him taking away attention from his teammates
like that.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
That's it seems like a when it's high school a
college kid doing it like I'm gonna get engage my
high school sweetheart. That's adorable. I think this would be
an attention grabber. M Well, you know what, we'll discuss
it on over promised. Right now, let's talk about Karl
Anthony Towns of the New York Knickerbockers. Uh huh yeah,
she Dan's just bring am I, Sta Ben and Nick
(23:15):
Alamba pack again. Gonna buy a ticket to see the Knickerbockers.
See guess who want to ticket to see the Knickerbockers.
Guess who biggest star in the world, Willie Walker. That's right,
You're right, Oh, Timothy Olphant, you say Timothy Olphant?
Speaker 4 (23:34):
You confuse me.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I think you were Joe, Timmothy shallow May, shallow May, wrong, Timothy, Sorry, wrong,
Tip Mad Dog Russello's best friend Timothy Show. Yes, that guy,
Bob Dylan, Timothy shallow May and Calnthony Towns gave him
the jersey. That's a cool Shalla May again just continues
(23:59):
to prove that he's such a dude's dude, such a bro,
such a sports fan. We thought he was some sort
of theater nerd, right, like this hollyweird sort of guy
that we don't like, some little dweebis who's good at acting.
And then he's like, nah, man, I'm just a cool dude.
And he changed everybody's perception of him in a matter
of like three months. You know it, post is an
(24:20):
interesting question. Com you know that I just popped in
my head. Are there people in the sports not even sports?
Are there people in the music and acting world that
you had him wrong? That you had him wrong? They
won you over. And she's like, you know, you're a
hell of a lot cooler than I thought because we
had we had him way wrong. The same way we're like, oh,
(24:40):
Timothy shallow May, like doesn't he sound of like an
artsy and don't know that? And then it's like no,
he's like a he's a dude, he's a sports fan.
You saw my village game. It was the college game
day appearance that really changed everybody's perception. He was way knowledgeable.
I was like, man, this guy could really brow it up,
I could really dominate in like a barber saying I
got I got a few examples of guys who's I
(25:04):
got one guy who comes to me. I hope. I
don't take your answer, I think, but I got a
couple that I really change my mind on, just based
on interactions with them and watching them, Nick Lache, that's
a good answer.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Love.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Love is blind of ninety eight degrees. You know, you
could say boy band frosted tips in his hair. Him
and Jessica Simpson of the two thousands. Now he was
with Vanessa Minilo Lache.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
He looks scared of her all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yo, he does look It's not that he isn't cool,
but he's way cooler. Yeah, a dude that hosts a
popular show and he's married to a beautiful woman. He's
kind of cool already, but he's even cooler when you
realize how passionate he is about his sports team. You
didn't realize, Like every time we've hung out or talked
to Nick Lache, interviewed, or anything, all he wants to
talk about is Cincinnati sports. Cincinnati sports for sure, Bengals,
(25:54):
Reds you nenagh it so Nick Lache is one of
those guys where you'd be shocked and he knows as
much or more than you about sports and and you know,
because a lot of times dudes in that pop world
people assume like, oh, I got other pop world guys,
but they're not my answer, and I want to I
was gonna say to me when I saw guys like
(26:14):
Bieber or Timberlake play basketball, I'm like, Yo, they're way
more athletic and you know, way more in it than
I thought. Two more pop guys. To just stay on
that theme because it was unexpected. Nick Carter of the
Backstreet Boys, he's way into his sports, way into rock music,
like you mean the boy band dude love to brow
(26:36):
it up. When we talked to him, Rich was way
into sports. And Chris Kirkpatrick we were on his podcast recently,
that dude is all about his Pittsburgh teams, all about it.
But you know what that makes and I would have
never known that, And that's all he wanted to talk about.
All the proofs is that guys like you, guys like me,
who No, it's guys like you that think people that
(27:00):
are into more mainstream pop stuff. I grew up in
pop radio. You think I've created the stigma for them. No,
but I'm saying it's guys like you though. No, that
guy's them that put all that other stuff forward. Therefore
we don't know the other side to them. That's not
my fault. I'm saying it's it's boneheads like you that
are like, Yeah, rock music. A guy that likes pop
music can't like sports. You think I've created this stigma
(27:24):
out of your mind you lean into it. No, or
that they lead us to believe these things with the
goofy stuff that they do. Why because they said they
sing a pop song instead of rock song, you don't
think they could ball more? And why is the surprise then?
Why is the surprise for Nick to be all about
a Cincinnati stereotypes of people like you that they I
don't create the stereotypes, dude, Thanks for giving me all
the credit.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
One.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Dan bike might be one of the most knowledgeable guys
I know in sports, but you know, Dan Buyer also
likes I'm pretty sure you likes like pop music, boy
band stuff, and ye are true?
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Uh not vander Pump, it's the Real Housewives. Yeah, you
guys got to get that.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Straight, get that right. Yes, but it's not just pop guys.
Billy Corgan was my answer. You just brought up pop.
He's the one that brought up pop dudes and made
it about me. What a goonberger? Do you listen to
this guy? He's the one that brought up pop stars
that have a stigma and then somehow turned it on
me because I was gonna say, Billy Corgan, who's a
rock star? I would have never thought that weirdo was
(28:21):
way into his cubs the way he is. I always
thought Billy Corgan was a weird guy. The world is
a van I loved him as a musician. You talk
to him, all he wants to talk about is old
school wrestling and his Chicago cubs, and he talks about
how good he was at baseball and all that sort
of stuff. He's a way cooler dude than you think
(28:41):
he is. And I'm not saying being a rock star
or a pop star isn't cool, but you really didn't
know there was that side to them. But anyway, to
back up my point, guys like Steve Covino, Yeah, assume that.
Assume that if you grew up and you're more into
pop music than rock, or you're more mainstream there's so
many men you know into pop music, Bud into boy bands?
(29:02):
How many men you know into boy bands? But he
did so now you're admitting that, you assume that if
someone's into that, they're not as manly into sports. I'm
assuming that because I'm not into boy bands. I'll give
you two. But I didn't invent the stigma. I'll give
you two. Mister romcom Lance Romance himself. Paul Rudd never
misses a playoff game of his teams. Paul Rudd's wanting
(29:24):
to hang out with the team. And on top of that,
a guy that's into college football way more than me
and a guy that's into all his sports. Is a
guy that played a gay guy on television, Eric stone
Street from Modern Family that if you didn't know because
his character he plays a very feminine homosexual man on television.
In real life he is a sports for that. Yeah,
(29:47):
he is. So is your guy Tye Uh what's his face?
From Modern Family? Ty Burrell ty Berrell. Memory is all
about his mets. I'm not saying he's a nerdy guy
or anything. But you don't know this side of them
because you only know the actors that are the characters.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
They portray you guys didn't bring up any actresses. I
read that Margot Robbie is such a huge NHL fan
that she put her audition for The Wolf of Wall
Street on hold so that she could make a New
York Rangers game.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Is that true? Yeah? Oh wow, yeah. See, so you
do see a different side of them. You're like, oh,
so they're you know what it does to It normalizes
these people, like, oh, okay, so you're not just some
you know, guy dancing around some weird entertainment person. You
know it is. I'll back up coming on this. There's
a lot of Hollywood and people in the music scene
that are you love their music, but they're weirdos. So
when you see the guys and the women that are
(30:39):
like cool, regular people that enjoy a team or have
favorite players, that's sort of cool to me. You know
who's a big Steelers fan. Joe Manganello, Oh, big time,
big time. We met Magic Mike, Magic Mike himself. Yep.
So the other part of the story is this Timothy
Shallomey is there. He's courtside. I guess they're at the
(31:00):
garden right, oh Shammi Emmerdin and he gets the Karl
Anthony Towns, Jersey and they're posing for pictures. Mutual respect.
That's always fun to see, right, And Danny g was
right Wanka. I saw it on a plane. I was great.
I would never have watched it. I hated the original.
I would love that one. I would never have watched
Wonka by choice, but I was on a plane. I'm like,
(31:21):
you know what, I got a couple hours. I'll watch
Wonka blown away by his talent. It was great.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Hated the original.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I never watched it. I didn't hate it and never
really was a Willy Wonka kind of man.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Jean Wilder was magic.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah, but Timothy Shallomey was really good. I didn't expect anything.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I'll put it above the Johnny Depp one. How about that?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
By the way, Kat not only gave him the jersey,
he signed it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, signed the jersey based on that and so cool.
Like I said, the mutual respect is always fun to see.
Based on that, we go to you Fox Sports Radio Nation.
If there's other examples you want to share of people
you changed your mind on, that's great, that's great, that's wonderful.
Do that and seven to ninety nine M Fox can
I share a quick one, but yeah, sure, quickly. Sorry,
(32:03):
this is not sports related.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
But when I you know, Twilight and all, like Robert
Pattinson was in Twilight, and I'm like, I'll never find
anybody from this these movie series cool. And then I
saw a movie called Good Time that he's in, and
I'm like, wow, this guy can really act. This is
not just some fluffy you know.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's a different role. Yeah, it was still strike you
as a weenie though, I mean he's in he's also
a batman.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I just saw this movie Good Time.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
I had no idea about it, and it was like
this amazing thriller, and I just thought, I'm like, this
guy is really good.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He played a cool guy, so maybe he is cool.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
He's a cool guys of okay.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah, But based on the autograph and jersey given to
sella may Helemy, we open it up to Fox Sports
Radio Nation and everybody here the coolest thing you ever

five thousand people, you are the one person that snagged X,

Hey, what's up? Guys? I appreciate you having these kinds
of topics. It makes you reminisce on some old times.
But nice, I got one that's a little different. It's
a tremendous answer. When I was a kid, now I'm
I'm fifty. So back in about eighty two, I was
six or seven eight years old and old Vegas. It
(40:29):
was very little. We're in a grocery store, me and
my mom and we see Sigfred and Roy. And I
don't even know who these guys are yet, but my
mom is like, yo, that's sick for the Roy. So
as a kid, I just yell out, hey, sig for
dear Roy.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
And they came over and gave.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Me a hat and it was a black and white
stripe like tiger hat.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Dude, I don't even know if I want to take
another call. We win. We said, the coolest thing you
every day, got a Sigfred and Roy tiger hat.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
I thought they were going to give him one of
their tigers.

show over promised on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page,
you could watch listen if are you, I'd watch. It's
a great listen, but we put it together. I'll be honest,
I think it's better than some TV shows on ESPN, Fox, CBS,
(01:05):
We do the hell of a job. Spot. Your video
package is great, I said video, but hey, over promised
after the show, we're gonna get to a bunch of
stuff we don't get to on today's show. Exactly a
brand new episode. And speaking of great shows, great radio
shows back in the thirty see yeah, just spring am
I stap Ben and Nikola in my pocket when you
(01:27):
had that nickel in your pocket and that's springing your step.
A lot of families got together around the radio and
he listened to The Lone Ranger on this Day. Started
in Detroit nineteen thirty three. By nineteen thirty nine he
went national and over twenty million people we're tuning in
to listen to the Lone Ranger. That's like Joe Rogan numbers.
(01:51):
I mean, it's ridiculous. They're all sitting around the radio too.
So there's so many questions, so many thoughts that come
to mind. We didn't grow up with that, obviously, but
one of our callers said, yeah, man, for us, that
was like listening to the ballgame, and it really was.
You had it on. You just had it on. Family
would listen listening to the car, you listen in your yard,
listen all the time, the personalities involved in radio, the
(02:12):
bits involved that captured our attention. And then we post
a question, what TV shows today are so well written
that they'd actually translate on the radio. And we've come
to the conclusion that it's a lot of the narrated
shows that we enjoyed growing up. Narrated shows, true crime
type of shows that are narrated, like a Dexter, Yeah,
(02:32):
because you hear his inner dialogue and everything is inner monologue. Yeah,
that would be great. And observational comedy shows like a
Seinfelder Curb or something like that. In that baseline and
the lamp track, Yeah, you could picture that. Those are now,
Those are now the you know, podcast transitions, right exactly.
Bill Miami wrapped this, and uh, we'll get into David Benavitez.
(02:52):
I see the zoom signing on. So let's go. What's
up Bill?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Hey, guys, fatal Rich love hearing you, guys, Thank you,
full laugh man, love it.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I'm going to talk about the Lone Ranger Chemo Sabby.
I grew up on Black and White and back in
their early eighties when I was a young military man
on radio. Watch if you remember watching some of those
movies of the old radio is the Prick seventy seven
pr seven seven, the old fashioned radio from Korea, Vietnam.
(03:25):
We used to tune that thing on to a frequency
and listen to it with our squad at night, listening
to the Lone Ranger. That's an odd one, now, that's
wild man.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, let me tell you. I know the conversation started
about people would gather around the radio and speak radio,
which we've spent our career in. Right, We've done TV, podcasting, video,
different things, but radio is the base of what Kevino
and I love, and I know we both fell in
love with it in different ways, right and for different reasons.
They say this, and I agree with it that radio
(03:57):
is the most intimate medium because most of the time
when you're listening to the radio, a podcast, music, you
are by yourself, so you feel that one on one
connection with the show you listen to. And if you're
listening to the headphones like most people do, it's right
there in your ear, it's like we're whispering right to you.
So it is very intimate. You watch movies in a
theater with a bunch of other people, you watch shows
(04:18):
with your wife or kids.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Radio.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's usually a very intimate one on one thing, like
what you're hearing right now? And I see him. He's
on the screen now. Gonna see him this weekend in Vegas, Cavino.
That's right, the WBC NWBA light heavyweight belts are on
the line. Let's welcome WBC light heavyweight champion David ben Avida.
(04:42):
What's up, a man? How are you, Mexican Monster? Good
to see you.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I'm doing good, man, I'm doing really good. How you
guys doing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
We're We're excited. We get on our plane tomorrow morning.
We'll cover the fight. See you win? Or what are
we are? We feeling confident?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
My phone? Confident? Did you not see the press conference?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Due?
Speaker 6 (04:58):
I'd confidence. Like I said, David Morrell is a good fighter.
That's why I picked him the fight, because I know
when I when I get in the ring with good fighters,
a great David Benoviy, this comes out. And we've been
selling this, this fight really good. You know, the promotion
has been really good. And the good thing about this
and none of this is fake, you know what I mean?
This is all real.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You know.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
We we have a gentuine dislike for each other, and
I think the track record shows in history when you
get two fighters like that that really dislike each other,
the fight is amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, well, I'm glad you're one hundred percent confident. Are
you one hundred percent healthy? Because you battled some injuries
with your hand last fight, so no excuses this time around, right,
How are you feeling health wise? Man?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Well, I mean I'm feeling really good. I didn't I
didn't have any excuses last fight. I won the fight,
you know, even though I know you was. I just
told you guys that I had injuries. But there's no
there's no injuries now, you know, we're one hundred percent good,
injury free, and we're looking to put a great show
for the people.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And you said you dislike your opponent, David Morrell. Why
is it exactly? Is it all the trash talk? Is
what he said about your family? What is it about
him that you dislike so much? And does that work
to your advantage here?
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Yeah, it's just a trash talk, you know, just just
a trash talk. And then just seeing him face to face,
those both talking about each other, and then also, you know,
at the end of the day, when you're a fighter,
This comes out, especially if somebody says something to you,
you know, I mean, it's eventually going to come out.
And like I said, I understand this is a business too.
I want to sell as much pay per views as possible.
So you know, we cranked it up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He said, you genuinely disliked that guy, and you said
that that's good for the fight. Does that change your
emotions or is it like just an opponent's an opponent?
Do you really is it? Does it? You know, making
contact feel even better when you hate that guy's face.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah, So when you have emotions like this also, I
mean obviously you have to control the emotion. Yeah, if
you really don't like somebody, that emotion could lead you
to possibly wanting to knock this guy out or inflicting
as much damage as possible. And I've you know, I've
dealt with emotions like this in my previous fights. And
as you guys can see, I'm twenty nine to zero
with twenty four knockcostles.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Work pretty good for.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Me, no doubt. Absolutely. Yeah, both undefeated fighters going at
it this weekend, and you mentioned that you're going to
break his jaw, So it's not just about beating this dude.
You want to hurt this dude? Is that right?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I want this fight to leave an imprint on the
rest of his life, and I want him to remember
me for the rest of his life too. I want
him so when he thinks about David Benavitez, I wanted
to think like, oh man, I can't even believe that
I ever thought I was gonna beat that guy.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
That guy's a monster.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now, you obviously have your personal expectations. You also have
a reputation of being al monstro as. Mike Tyson named
you the Mexican Monster, so you have that to live
up to. Your fighting for Mexican pride. How do you
view it as far as Mexican fighter versus Cuban fighter.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
To be honest with you, I feel like the Mexican
and Cuban rivalry has been really good. We've had some
great fights, but I just feel like the Mexican fighters
all around, they have they're you know, they're they're more.
They go after you. We don't try to box. We
try to actually go in there and stop the fights
and we try to, you know, knock the fighters out.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
So I reha that in my blood.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
You know what, I mean, I felt like that my
whole career, So I'm expecting to fight like that until
my career is over.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Is it cool that Mike Tyson calls you the Mexican Monsters.
That's got to be cool knowing you know, growing up
in Mike Tyson. Is that cool? It's great.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Yeah, it's amazing, man.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
It's really so like I want you to put in
perspective for you when I might watch Mike Tyson my
whole life. So when him blessing me with the nickname
like that, it not only does it make me happy
and it makes me motivated, but it kind of puts
like my thoughts when I was a little kid thinking
that I was gonna be a world champion, watching Mike
Tyson and Mike Tyson giving me my name, it's like,
(08:43):
oh wow, Like you could really manifest whatever you want
if you work, if you work hard to your dreams.
And right now I'm in I'm in all bliss because
I'm looking out my dreams.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right now, we're here with David Benavitez the Fights this weekend,
We're gonna be out there. We're so pumped, man, so
pumped to have you on the show. How are you
feeling fighting at one seventy five now because you were
so dominant at one sixty eight, do you really feel
the power difference from your opponent from yourself? Like, what
has been the biggest difference for you so far?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
To be honest with you, I didn't really have a
not that I didn't have a good experience, but I
didn't really get to fill one hundred percent myself because
of the injuries I was dealing with. Right this time around,
I'm expecting to feel the power from myself because I'm
you know, I'm one hundred percent good right now. But
as as for opponents punching power, I.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Don't think like that.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Once you go once, once you're a fire and you're
a warrior, you don't think like, oh, this guy gonna
hit hard, this and that.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You just go in there, you do the work and
that's it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You are twenty nine, you know, like you pointed out
twenty four of those coming by knockout. Would you be
shocked if he lasted all twelve rounds?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
You know what I mean? I wouldn't be shocked because
this is boxing.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You know. Sometimes these people, you know, they move around
a lot. But I'm not trying to let it go
to twelve rounds. Like I said, every single round I'm
gonna be in. They're putting as much pressure as possible
to make sure I get that KO.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, let me ask you this ring entrances we've been
going to fight together now, coming off like twenty years. Yeah,
they're getting more intense, you know, more elaborate, more fireworks
and songs and you know, musicians, rappers bringing people down
to the ring. Do you put a lot of thought
into your ring entrance?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yeah, I do, more like a Mexican artists because obviously
I have most of my fans are Mexican and Latino
and stuff, so I definitely do put that my past.
My last fight came out the artist, so this fight
I'm planning on doing coming out with another artist as well. Nice,
but obviously, you know, at the end of the day,
this is a show, you know, and you have to
(10:40):
give the people what they want to see.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
So every fight, every fight is going to get bigger
and bigger. So I am adding artists to all my
fights now.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And I love that because you know, it's all about
entertainment and this gets them hyped up. And I say
this with all due respect David Benavidez. But the cleanest,
the tightest ring entrance I've ever seen was Felix Chavez
your brothers in Creed three. Man, that was pretty cool, dude,
That was though. How was that for you?
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Man?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
And your brothers on this card too? So yeah, does
that make it more nerve wracking for you? Are you
just so confident in him? So tell me about him
on the card and tell me about seeing him in
the movie.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
No, So, we're really confident because over here on this side,
we work our asses off and we know exactly what
we have. You know, we know exactly what talent we have.
So once you put the talent with the hard work,
you know, and there's no stone on turn here, you know,
we we're not messing around. So I'm gonna have one
hundred percent confidence my brother. It does give me a
little bit nervous, you know, because obviously it's my brother.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
I love my brother.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
But I'm sure he feels the same with me. He
gets a little bit nervous when he watches me fight.
But as to his his entrance in the movie and
just seeing him being in the Creed three, you know,
it's just like I said, we're just living out our dreams.
You know, we're two kids from Phoenix, Arizona. We weren't
really expecting much. And now you know, multiple titles, multiple
belts won, and he's in career and you know it's
gonna keep getting bigger and better. So, like I said, managers,
(12:04):
with all the hard work and dedication, anything could be manifested.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Now, I was gonna say, when you were growing up
in Phoenix with your brother, could you have ever imagine
when you guys are tussling, wrestling in the living room,
throwing pillows at each other. Would you ever imagine that
you guys would both be at this level? Was there
any signs early on, like yo, we got skills, bro.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Yeah, well my brother he was one of the best
amateur fighters in all the Phoenix. But when we were
younger kids, no, we weren't expecting nothing like that. So,
like I said, we didn't expect that, but we were
working towards that. So just the hard work and the
dedication led us to hear. And like I said, now
that I get here, Now that I'm here, I'm just
reaching for the stars and I want bigger and better
(12:43):
things because I know it's possible. So I'm just you know,
like I said, I'm really really happy and I'm really
blessed with everything that's going on in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And we're happy for you. Man, you're talking about the manifesting.
So let's let's talk about it. When you win this fight. Man,
when you win this fight, better Beev also fights Bev.
What in February twenty second February? Right, the winner of
your fight should fight the winner of that fight. How
do you see that panning out?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I feel like honestly, I feel like DeVault won the
first fight. I think he's gonna win again. And so
you know, we're one hundred percent focused on this fight Saturday.
But honestly, where if we get that opportunity, we should
be the number one in line to fight the ball.
So yeah, man, it's gonna be great because some great
things coming our way. And you know, like I said,
(13:32):
stay tuned because you know greatness will be achieved.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Now, personally, I really do want to know this. That
would be a huge fight, a great fight. Those are
great fighters, right, But personally, would you rather fight the
winner if better be a Bible or Canelo? Because everybody
still brings up Canelo, But you know, are you past
that at one seventy five. Are you're not looking back?
What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
To be honest with you, those are two completely different fights.
I think the one would leave that they don't drink them.
I think the one with Canelo is the bigger fight, obviously,
because you know it's more hyped up Mexican versus Mexican.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Canelo, He's achieved a lot. But I think that's the
easier fight than Bible. Honestly, I think I beat Canelo
easier than I beat Vol. I think Bevol he's a
tough fighter, and but I think the Canelo fight is
bigger than the fight versus me and Babol.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
A lot of people think the moral fight this weekend
is tougher than a Canelo fight. Yeah, well, we'll let
you get back to do what you're doing. David Benavitez
on Cavino Rich, one last thing, you're your favorite in
Vegas minus two thirty? Do you ever take a look
at that stuff? Do you want to know how much
your favorite? If you're an underdog, do you care about
that even a little? Does that motivate you?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
No, to be honest with you, I don't really care
looking at that stuff and also a thing that I
hate when people tell me like, hey, I bet I'm
betting on you.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Oh so now you're fucking betting on I'm supposed to win.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Or right right.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
But I don't really look at that, you know, because
you know, some times I don't. I don't really like
to pay attention to that stuff because a fighter, uh in.
In my opinion, every fighter is dangerous and every fighter
is good. So I gotta stay on my focus, you know.
I don't try to. I don't try to, you know,
you know, get stuck up on being being an advantage
of nothing like that.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
I just try to stay focused on the fight until
the job is done.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
And actually I got one last question too. We're obviously
very pumped about your fight and what's next for you.
What's a fight you want to see.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Just like an al in boxing, Yeah, versus Canelo will
be good.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
So I would love to see I would love to
see Devin Haney versus uh, I mean Devin Haney, Ryan
Garcia versus Tank two. I be a really good fight,
but with no weight clause.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, man, Hey, well we're wishing you the best
and thank you for your time. We'll see you this
weekend in Vegas. David Ben, thank you friend, thank you man.
See the Streek Mexican monster named by Mike Tyson. The
dude is nasty. And let me just put this in
perspective to everybody wants to see this Canlo fight, and
it would be a battle because Canelo's tough, right, Yeah,
but Canelo didn't translate at one seventy five. He lost
(16:09):
to bevil right says the power wasn't the same. Canello's
five foot seven. I'm not saying that matters, but he's
a smaller dude, right, who fights at one sixty eight
five p seven. El monstro here is six foot two
and he walks around at two hundred pounds, so he's
a much bigger dude. Keep that in mind. Benevidez six
to two hundred pounds. I mean he's fighting at one
(16:31):
seventy five once, you know, but he's still a bigger guy.
But Canelo Alvarez, because you see him against other fighters,
sometimes you lose that perception of Heightack, he's five seven exactly.
So it's gonna be a battle. And don't sleep on
David Morel. It's not a warm up fight. It's going
to be a battle and they dislike each other. And
we're gonna be out there this weekend from Radio Row
(16:52):
at MGM starting tomorrow, So tune in Covino and Rich
and if you want to see the fight on Saturday,

again David Benavidez for being on the show and giving
us a reason to be out there in Vegas this weekend.
So listen out starting tomorrow. You never know who's going
to stop by the show Live from Vegas for Benavetez
Morele that's this weekend Saturday Night. David Benavidez looks pretty
(19:50):
confident man. He looks like he's in great shape again.
Big dude slims down one seventy eight. He's hard to beat.
He's beat some big names, Andreid, Caleb Plant, He's beat
him all. I think he would beat Canelo. I really do.
It'd be a great fight and a lot of pride
on the line. I'm excited to see him. I've seen
him on pay per view. This is going to be
the first time I see him in person. The Mexican
(20:12):
monster and rich you know back in the day on
his come up, he used to spar at Triple G.
I wanted to ask him about that. But if we
see him in Vegas, I mean, we'll talk to him
about it. But again, the winner of this fight gets
the winner of Better bv Bible the rematch. So thanks again.
If you missed any of it, catch the podcast and
because we had Benavidez on the show today. We don't
(20:36):
have a whole lot of time, so whatever we don't
have time for is on over Promise. That's our bonus pod,
and a new episode debuts today right after the show
in about a half hour four pm on the West,
seven pm on the East. Over Promised with Cavino and
Rich I can tell you right now, we're going to
talk about the evolution of sport trophies and logos based
(20:56):
on that Bill Belichick story saying that the Vince Lombardi
Trophy should be renamed the Tom Brady Trophy. So we're
gonna go over some other maybe potential possible changes in
trophies and logos. We'll go over the Super Bowl logos.
We talk about how well the NFL seems to do
everything right. It's one of the few things the NBA
has really nailed recently because when you think about all
(21:17):
the NBA awards now, they pay tribute to Bird, Jordan, Magic, Kareem, everyone.
So well, we'll get to that on Over Promise. That's
Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. A half hour from now,
we go live. Join it live and there's a live
chat and everything. So if you're listening check it out
on the YouTube page. And we'll also talk about the
(21:38):
most important piece of sporting equipment. Think about it, because
we're not going to fit that in today's show. What's
the most important piece of sporting equipment? You will? You're
not even gonna guess. You won't know until you hear
it on over Promise. And we'll talk about Kelsey and
the super Bowl and more. Okay, yeah, sure we're out
a buddy. Now. When you think about super Bowl fifty
(21:59):
nine and you think about licks, like I said, tickets
seven plus Grand New Orleans, great party city, there is
a part of you that wonders. And this is the
maybe we'll get into a little more and over promise
as well. Will Travis Kelcey? Is it even you think
(22:20):
it's even on his mind at all? Like how to
handle Taylor Swift? Because there's a prop bet what do
you mean, how to handle her? Like how to like
because there's a lot of people saying maybe they'll get engaged.
I mean, we don't even know if that's really on
his radar or if the timing's right, But if they're
(22:40):
really on that page, I think no better time. Is
that a selfish move? Does they take away attention.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I was gonna say, he's not a Cam Newton, so
I don't see him taking away attention from his teammates
like that.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
That's it seems like a when it's high school a
college kid doing it like I'm gonna get engage my
high school sweetheart. That's adorable. I think this would be
an attention grabber. M Well, you know what, we'll discuss
it on over promised. Right now, let's talk about Karl
Anthony Towns of the New York Knickerbockers. Uh huh yeah,
she Dan's just bring am I, Sta Ben and Nick
(23:15):
Alamba pack again. Gonna buy a ticket to see the Knickerbockers.
See guess who want to ticket to see the Knickerbockers.
Guess who biggest star in the world, Willie Walker. That's right,
You're right, Oh, Timothy Olphant, you say Timothy Olphant?
Speaker 4 (23:34):
You confuse me.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I think you were Joe, Timmothy shallow May, shallow May, wrong, Timothy, Sorry, wrong,
Tip Mad Dog Russello's best friend Timothy Show. Yes, that guy,
Bob Dylan, Timothy shallow May and Calnthony Towns gave him
the jersey. That's a cool Shalla May again just continues
(23:59):
to prove that he's such a dude's dude, such a bro,
such a sports fan. We thought he was some sort
of theater nerd, right, like this hollyweird sort of guy
that we don't like, some little dweebis who's good at acting.
And then he's like, nah, man, I'm just a cool dude.
And he changed everybody's perception of him in a matter
of like three months. You know it, post is an
(24:20):
interesting question. Com you know that I just popped in
my head. Are there people in the sports not even sports?
Are there people in the music and acting world that
you had him wrong? That you had him wrong? They
won you over. And she's like, you know, you're a
hell of a lot cooler than I thought because we
had we had him way wrong. The same way we're like, oh,
(24:40):
Timothy shallow May, like doesn't he sound of like an
artsy and don't know that? And then it's like no,
he's like a he's a dude, he's a sports fan.
You saw my village game. It was the college game
day appearance that really changed everybody's perception. He was way knowledgeable.
I was like, man, this guy could really brow it up,
I could really dominate in like a barber saying I
got I got a few examples of guys who's I
(25:04):
got one guy who comes to me. I hope. I
don't take your answer, I think, but I got a
couple that I really change my mind on, just based
on interactions with them and watching them, Nick Lache, that's
a good answer.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Love.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Love is blind of ninety eight degrees. You know, you
could say boy band frosted tips in his hair. Him
and Jessica Simpson of the two thousands. Now he was
with Vanessa Minilo Lache.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
He looks scared of her all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yo, he does look It's not that he isn't cool,
but he's way cooler. Yeah, a dude that hosts a
popular show and he's married to a beautiful woman. He's
kind of cool already, but he's even cooler when you
realize how passionate he is about his sports team. You
didn't realize, Like every time we've hung out or talked
to Nick Lache, interviewed, or anything, all he wants to
talk about is Cincinnati sports. Cincinnati sports for sure, Bengals,
(25:54):
Reds you nenagh it so Nick Lache is one of
those guys where you'd be shocked and he knows as
much or more than you about sports and and you know,
because a lot of times dudes in that pop world
people assume like, oh, I got other pop world guys,
but they're not my answer, and I want to I
was gonna say to me when I saw guys like
(26:14):
Bieber or Timberlake play basketball, I'm like, Yo, they're way
more athletic and you know, way more in it than
I thought. Two more pop guys. To just stay on
that theme because it was unexpected. Nick Carter of the
Backstreet Boys, he's way into his sports, way into rock music,
like you mean the boy band dude love to brow
(26:36):
it up. When we talked to him, Rich was way
into sports. And Chris Kirkpatrick we were on his podcast recently,
that dude is all about his Pittsburgh teams, all about it.
But you know what that makes and I would have
never known that, And that's all he wanted to talk about.
All the proofs is that guys like you, guys like me,
who No, it's guys like you that think people that
(27:00):
are into more mainstream pop stuff. I grew up in
pop radio. You think I've created the stigma for them. No,
but I'm saying it's guys like you though. No, that
guy's them that put all that other stuff forward. Therefore
we don't know the other side to them. That's not
my fault. I'm saying it's it's boneheads like you that
are like, Yeah, rock music. A guy that likes pop
music can't like sports. You think I've created this stigma
(27:24):
out of your mind you lean into it. No, or
that they lead us to believe these things with the
goofy stuff that they do. Why because they said they
sing a pop song instead of rock song, you don't
think they could ball more? And why is the surprise then?
Why is the surprise for Nick to be all about
a Cincinnati stereotypes of people like you that they I
don't create the stereotypes, dude, Thanks for giving me all
the credit.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
One.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Dan bike might be one of the most knowledgeable guys
I know in sports, but you know, Dan Buyer also
likes I'm pretty sure you likes like pop music, boy
band stuff, and ye are true?
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Uh not vander Pump, it's the Real Housewives. Yeah, you
guys got to get that.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Straight, get that right. Yes, but it's not just pop guys.
Billy Corgan was my answer. You just brought up pop.
He's the one that brought up pop dudes and made
it about me. What a goonberger? Do you listen to
this guy? He's the one that brought up pop stars
that have a stigma and then somehow turned it on
me because I was gonna say, Billy Corgan, who's a
rock star? I would have never thought that weirdo was
(28:21):
way into his cubs the way he is. I always
thought Billy Corgan was a weird guy. The world is
a van I loved him as a musician. You talk
to him, all he wants to talk about is old
school wrestling and his Chicago cubs, and he talks about
how good he was at baseball and all that sort
of stuff. He's a way cooler dude than you think
(28:41):
he is. And I'm not saying being a rock star
or a pop star isn't cool, but you really didn't
know there was that side to them. But anyway, to
back up my point, guys like Steve Covino, Yeah, assume that.
Assume that if you grew up and you're more into
pop music than rock, or you're more mainstream there's so
many men you know into pop music, Bud into boy bands?
(29:02):
How many men you know into boy bands? But he
did so now you're admitting that, you assume that if
someone's into that, they're not as manly into sports. I'm
assuming that because I'm not into boy bands. I'll give
you two. But I didn't invent the stigma. I'll give
you two. Mister romcom Lance Romance himself. Paul Rudd never
misses a playoff game of his teams. Paul Rudd's wanting
(29:24):
to hang out with the team. And on top of that,
a guy that's into college football way more than me
and a guy that's into all his sports. Is a
guy that played a gay guy on television, Eric stone
Street from Modern Family that if you didn't know because
his character he plays a very feminine homosexual man on television.
In real life he is a sports for that. Yeah,
(29:47):
he is. So is your guy Tye Uh what's his face?
From Modern Family? Ty Burrell ty Berrell. Memory is all
about his mets. I'm not saying he's a nerdy guy
or anything. But you don't know this side of them
because you only know the actors that are the characters.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
They portray you guys didn't bring up any actresses. I
read that Margot Robbie is such a huge NHL fan
that she put her audition for The Wolf of Wall
Street on hold so that she could make a New
York Rangers game.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Is that true? Yeah? Oh wow, yeah. See, so you
do see a different side of them. You're like, oh,
so they're you know what it does to It normalizes
these people, like, oh, okay, so you're not just some
you know, guy dancing around some weird entertainment person. You
know it is. I'll back up coming on this. There's
a lot of Hollywood and people in the music scene
that are you love their music, but they're weirdos. So
when you see the guys and the women that are
(30:39):
like cool, regular people that enjoy a team or have
favorite players, that's sort of cool to me. You know
who's a big Steelers fan. Joe Manganello, Oh, big time,
big time. We met Magic Mike, Magic Mike himself. Yep.
So the other part of the story is this Timothy
Shallomey is there. He's courtside. I guess they're at the
(31:00):
garden right, oh Shammi Emmerdin and he gets the Karl
Anthony Towns, Jersey and they're posing for pictures. Mutual respect.
That's always fun to see, right, And Danny g was
right Wanka. I saw it on a plane. I was great.
I would never have watched it. I hated the original.
I would love that one. I would never have watched
Wonka by choice, but I was on a plane. I'm like,
(31:21):
you know what, I got a couple hours. I'll watch
Wonka blown away by his talent. It was great.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Hated the original.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I never watched it. I didn't hate it and never
really was a Willy Wonka kind of man.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Jean Wilder was magic.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah, but Timothy Shallomey was really good. I didn't expect anything.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I'll put it above the Johnny Depp one. How about that?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
By the way, Kat not only gave him the jersey,
he signed it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, signed the jersey based on that and so cool.
Like I said, the mutual respect is always fun to see.
Based on that, we go to you Fox Sports Radio Nation.
If there's other examples you want to share of people
you changed your mind on, that's great, that's great, that's wonderful.
Do that and seven to ninety nine M Fox can
I share a quick one, but yeah, sure, quickly. Sorry,
(32:03):
this is not sports related.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
But when I you know, Twilight and all, like Robert
Pattinson was in Twilight, and I'm like, I'll never find
anybody from this these movie series cool. And then I
saw a movie called Good Time that he's in, and
I'm like, wow, this guy can really act. This is
not just some fluffy you know.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's a different role. Yeah, it was still strike you
as a weenie though, I mean he's in he's also
a batman.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I just saw this movie Good Time.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
I had no idea about it, and it was like
this amazing thriller, and I just thought, I'm like, this
guy is really good.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
He played a cool guy, so maybe he is cool.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
He's a cool guys of okay.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah, But based on the autograph and jersey given to
sella may Helemy, we open it up to Fox Sports
Radio Nation and everybody here the coolest thing you ever
received from a celebrity. Maybe it was at a game,
at a concert, you know, you caught someone's drumstick. This
is your chance to brag about it, because those moments
(32:58):
are kind of cool. Because in a sea of fifty
five thousand people, you are the one person that snagged X,
Y and Z eighty seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
I want to hear about it. I have arguably the
best answer to this. I have a few stories. I

better than the world. Wait, do you hear my answer?
