Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, thanks for listening to the best of Kabino n

Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. Find your local station for

(00:27):
fighting Saturday. Will be in Vegas tomorrow for the fight.
Who calls him the Mexican Monster, Mike Tithan Death Mike
tythan So the Mexican Monster. David Benavidez taken on David
Morrel's The Battle of the David's The Davids. That's his
Saturday night on pay per view. I thought you were
talking about David Hasselhoff. No, no, no, no, But we're
gonna be joined by one of the greatest light heavyweights

(00:49):
out there, the guy that people said for years, even
Tyson said for years Canelo was ducking him. So talked
to David Benavidez on the show, and gotta start off
by saying good day to you and man, speaking of fighting,
the Paul Brothers got us again. Damn it. I hate them, damn,

(01:10):
but I stupidly watch all their stuff. Damn damn. The
other day we said big announcement Jake Paul, Logan Paul
in March, they're gonna fight each other. I mean, of
course we leaned into we think, I guess, but I
did buy into it because it was advertised as an
HBO Max sort of thing, like wow, okay, but turns

(01:33):
out they're not fighting at all. You are fake news.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
This is like when Snoop Dogg announced he had the
big announcement that he was gonna quit smoking.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Remember, and I remember thinking, man, Snoop Dogg, no more weed,
and then it turns out just kidding. It was promoting
something or other, some product, a smoke cooker, a smokeless cooker,
smokeless something, I don't smoke no more. Yeah, So as
he's giving up the smoke and you're like, what way.

(02:02):
Apparently the Paul brothers have signed the deal with HBO
Max and they have a reality show, Paul American, like
All American Paul American, which debuts in March. Not a
fight at all, you got us, ah haul. Anyway, So
the Paul brothers tricked us. Well, remember what they were
saying too, the fight you've been waiting for for ten years?

(02:25):
We did say, I don't know if anyone was waiting
for that fight for ten years. The only positive and
silver lining I saw too it was, well, maybe it
lights a fire for other people to get that fight
in there two brothers are willing to fight? What's Canelo
and Benavitez? Excuse right? But maybe this opens up more
opportunities for fights we actually want to see, Like I

(02:46):
would want to see Jake Paul fight some other people,
not necessarily his brother, you know, for the fun of it.
So maybe the show's good. Who knows, But we got
got and there you have it. The other big story,
by the way, if you have thoughts on any of this,
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Dannyg's on standby,
What Up? Danny g Iowa, Sam Dan Bayer, everybody's hanging

(03:07):
out today, Cavino and Rich, thank you Fox Sports Radio
Nation for hanging with us. The other big story today
is Cam Newton and his ridiculous hat. Oh, I do
you're gonna say the woman dressed like a mermaid that
almost got eaten by a fish? Did you see that
video floating around social media? I mean that and the
terrible footage of the plane in the American Airlines flight. Yeah,

(03:28):
that was horrible. A lot of random stories, a lot
of terrible stories, but this Cam Newton one is right
in our wheelhouse of Really did he say that? Wait?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Did he really say that? Do I respect that? Do
I hate that? I can tell you what, Mike, who
runs this place? I heard? I heard him screaming in
the hallway. Who they got that runs? I heart? Yeah?
I heard screaming the hallway and I was like, who's
getting yelled at? You mean the only Panthers fan? We
know that is true? And he was saying, you know,
that's why I never liked Cam Newton. Anth Stran, you

(04:01):
want my answer? Oh, I know your answered Mike. He
was fired up about it. It's a really weird story
and he has a really weird hat. Take a listen
to Cam Newton when he was with Steven a on
First Take.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that
league MVP for a Super Bowl championship, would you do it?

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Nope?

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (04:27):
Really?

Speaker 5 (04:29):
What's more important? Impact or championships? If we're being honest,
the impact of you holding yourself accountable to say everybody
has a.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Responsibility to do.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
And you could say, as an MVP Award winner or
All American, you've hailed yourself or you've hailed Joe into
the bargain down. And that's what it really comes down
to it for for me, I know that's not the
popular pick. I'm trying to beep popularized. But my my
take is I'm taking individual success because I did my job.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, barf to you. Guess what. It's not an individual sport,
you bonehead. Yeah, if you were a fighter or a
tennis player, if you played ping pong, these are all
great things. Not when you're in a team sport. What
a bonehead? And I like him, I do not like
cam asinine answer. Now, the thing is ridiculous. Do you
admire the honesty? It makes you want to put my

(05:26):
hand to the screen and knock that hat off and
give him a karate kick. It makes no sense, dude.
And like I said, I like him. He says some
Atlantish things. He says things that make you say he
stirs it up. I'll credit him there, right, And he's
entertaining and he was a difference maker. I get it.
You remember when he said, like the difference between him
and a rock party. He was a difference maker. I

(05:47):
get it, because he's a different level of athlete, a
different level of superstar. He was, but he's also supposed
to be a great leader of a team, the type
of guy that makes people want to play for him
that he wasn't. Therefore, when you think about what a
team sport's supposed to be, he failed because he never
let his team do victory. This isn't low level, you know,

(06:13):
Sunday softball, pick up basketball, where you're like, well, I
played good with the team walls, Who cares? This is
the National Football League, this is the super Bowl. To
have that answer, and I get it. I do admire
the honesty, but you admire the honesty when it's like
a good answer. That's the weakest answer for a team sport. Ever.

(06:35):
That's why you look at guys. You're gonna roll your eyes.
You're gonna say, oh, Derek Jeter, what did Derek Jeter
always say? Many Yankees have said it. No, I gotta
get it. Here's the gift bag. Don't tell anyone is
that what Derek Jeter said? No, he never said that.
I was a rumor that was a really good night.
There's no name on the back of the jersey. Of course,

(06:56):
no name on the back of a Yankees jersey because
they play for the name on the front. And what's
a big trend teams for that's how that's the championship mentality.
That's a team mentality. The me me me mentality is
why teams fail. It's why I don't believe in your
Mets moving forward because they put so much emphasis around
Juan Soto when it's about one guy. When it's about

(07:17):
one guy, it leaves everybody else feeling flat. No one
else likes that feeling. I don't think it's about Soto.
I think it's they paid him, So we'll see, we'll
see what happens. I think there was a trend you
saw for a while. dB could attest to this, especially
in college table in the NFL, where teams would opt
to not be introduced out of the tunnel. We come
out as a team like player intro is like, you

(07:41):
have to do it that way. Why was Friends of
success Because they all fought together, and they fought for
the same money together, and they wrote it out and
they all won together. When one person thinks they're better
than everybody else. And by the way, he's saying the
exact opposite of what every other championship leader says. You
know what I mean, Like, no, I don't play for laes.
I played for championships. It's a team sport. So he's

(08:03):
saying the exact opposite, So no one else says it
because it makes no sense. That's the most selfish answer
and self serving, self centered answer you could give as
a team player on a team sport. If he was
a fighter in the UFC, in the octagon, if it
was a one man only sport, then yes, that makes sense.

(08:24):
If he was an Olympic diver, yes, anything else. It's
the exact opposite of truth and the exact opposite of logic.
Now you're insinuating I should cancel him speaking to the
kids in the little league in the pop water Like yeah,
and dude, I'm not mad at him. It's just like,
did he really say that? And he tried to make
it like it made sense because it doesn't. It does

(08:45):
not make sense. Should he be proud of it? Yes?
Like all right, let's break it down to the smallest
of levels, right, If you were playing in a softball game,
if you were playing in a baseball game, growing up,
football game, growing up. Yeah, you feel good if you
did good. Right, there's that feeling of man, I went
four for four. Sucks that we lost, but I went
four for four. There's that sense of fulfillment. You get

(09:08):
that you did your part. You get it, but you're
just one piece of that puzzle. You still lost. Listen,
you're allowed to be selfish when you're not a pro. Exactly.
I've said to you, dude, when I play Sunday softball
with my buddies, if I go four for four and
we lose, let's be honest. Unless it's like the championship game.

(09:28):
I'd rather that than go zero for four and my
team wins. I don't. I don't step away from my
wife and kids for an hour. How about this plays
wrap quarterback. This is the other level. He's not just
another cog in the wheel. He is the quarterback. And
the difference between him, unless say a current day Baker Mayfield. Yeah,
is he a better athlete than Baker Mayfield, more of

(09:49):
a difference maker? Absolutely? Cam Newton was all of that,
and that's why you're more aggravated. He had the potential
to be one of the greatest of all time. The
players want to play hey for Baker Mayfield. You see that.
They want to play for him because he's in it.
He believes in the team. He's one of the guys.

(10:10):
These other dudes, they didn't want to play for Cam
that same way, and that was the problem. That's a
bad leader. You're the quarterback. You got to be a
good leader. You're not playing for yourself. You can't win
by yourself. Understandable and honest or absurd, Dan Bayer, what
do you think, buddy boy? Good to see him. It's
great to see you guys as well.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
Super Bowl thirty five the last time we had individual announcements, well,
I should say Super Bowl thirty six because the rams
were announced and then the Patriots ran out as a team,
so it was fifty to fifty. That ruined everything in
my mind. Kevino, I know you love it, and I'm
on the side of Cam Newton on this. I think
that you develop yourself. Everything else plays into what it is.

(10:51):
But if you're growing up, you're trying to be the
best that you can be, and it's not a knockoutting
you know anyone else like coul Dan Marino trade his
career for his Super Bowl ring, he's arguably one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Do you trade all
that to be to his point, Brad Johnson, I don't
think I would.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know, DoD you rather be Brad Johnson or Den Marino.
I've been great, quest You mean the the stigma that
Dan Reno has to live with for the rest of
his life that he was one of the greatest, but
he never won. He's in the game of winning. That's
what you're in the league to do. That's the name
of the game. That's the whole purpose and point. So, yeah,
you were great, but he never won one. I think

(11:28):
Dan Reno, without of that would even hesitate to say, yeah,
I would trade everything for the Super Bowl. If you're
Mike Trout, a guy that you know when not hurt,
is compared to Mickey Mantle, the guy like Sniff the
playoff once. If you're Mike Trout, do you, when all
said and done, you rather waste away in Anaheim down

(11:49):
there playing for the Angels, never really be a postseason guy.
But at the end of the career you'll have five
hundred home runs, bat three hundred. Hall of Famer first
ballot or rather be less of a star but have
two World Series? Like I said, would you rather be
Max Munthsig or you could have I'm not saying Cam

(12:10):
Newton should be ashamed of his career. The guy was
incredible to even get to that point, one of the
best to do it. We know that, so he should
be proud of his accomplishments and proud of his accolades.
But isn't it selfish to say I'd rather keep my
personal accolade than to share a victory with the team

(12:34):
that I led. I mean, I think this is as
common says I have the answer. It's the most selfish
response you could get. I don't love the Marina. I mean,
I'm a professional in being selfish. I'm the most self
centered guy you know, and I'm telling you it's absurd, Joe.
I don't like the Marino analogy because you're comparing a
career to a super Bowl. Cam Newton was asked, would

(12:54):
you trade in the MVP? That's an individual honor. It
wasn't like, Yo, Cam, would you trade your rear stats
and everything for a Super Bowl? I think there's a
difference there getting a trophy versus your career stats and numbers, right,
like Dann Marino. I don't know if he would want
to trade what he meant and how great Dan Marino was.

(13:18):
You know, guys like Joe Montana say Dey Marino was
the best ever. I don't know if you trade that
to be Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson or something like that.
But the Cam Newton thing comes across more selfish because
it wasn't like would you trade your career? It was
would you trade this one honor for this honor? Meaning like, hey,

(13:40):
take away the MVP, but you want a super Bowl.
The answer is a no brainer. You want to be
a super Bowl winner. And by the way, like, yeah,
it was an honest answer, but it doesn't mean it
was a good answer, right, You don't always need to
be that honest. Well, you know what your thoughts selfish, honest, refreshed,
lame as hell. By the way, as we get to

(14:04):
your phone calls about Cam Newton and the NFL or
what a week and a couple of days away from
the Super Bowl, the average ticket price for Nolan's Eagles chiefs,
they're saying is about seventy three hundred dollars, not the
highest ever. What is the highest average ticket price? What's

(14:26):
super Bowl? I'll give you a hint. It's in the
last like five to ten years. Is there a super
Bowl you remember? Like, that's got to be the one.
Oh when you said the highest ever, I thought you
on a plane when you were on edibles, That's what
I thought.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I thought maybe it was Vegas just because of the
expensive stadium price is there and it.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Was like a hot city to go for their first
Super Bowl. Not the answer, what's your guess?

Speaker 9 (14:48):
I was Samuel when the Patriots came in undefeated and
play the Giants.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Good guess, but not the answer dB, And he guesses.
Do you know the answer to this one? I'll say
Chiefs Niners? First time around? That was well, the highest
average ticket cost eighty three hundred dollars, so about one
thousand dollars more than the average ticket for this game.
When Tom Brady took on My Homes down in Tampa
TV twelve as a buccaneer where they beat the Chiefs.

Speaker 8 (15:16):
And there was only three thousand people in the stands.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
So funny.

Speaker 10 (15:21):
Clearly as a factor, I didn't even think of that demand.
Oh crap, So maybe that's supply. It doesn't count like
a jaded step. The COVID super Bowl asterix there are
more than three thousand, but it was not seventy thousand.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Now my fun fact stakes not really.

Speaker 8 (15:38):
Moved mine up to number two to number one, and
guess what all was good?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, it's just like a trick question kind of sort of.
I knew I had to be recent times though, So
welcome back to the show. We appreciate it. Can we
play the Cam Newton SoundBite one more time? Just to
wrap it up with your phone calls? Your thoughts on
this rich is saying? Is it honest? Is it backwards thinking?
Is it refreshing? How do you feel about what Cam

(16:03):
Newton said when it came to trading in an MVP
for Super Bowl victory? Before you play the audio, what
do you think the price was for Super Bowl one? Oh,
we've talked about this in the past. Not eight, not
eighty three hundred dollars?

Speaker 9 (16:18):
It was an average ticket for was I'm gonna guest
seventeen dollars a ticket?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Close, Samuel? Thank you? Twelve dollars, Yeah, twelve dollars for
Super Bowl? It won fifty cents to park?

Speaker 9 (16:28):
Exactly how much those twelve dollars in today's money back
then or you know what first.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, there is inflation, probably only a couple hundred bucks. Sam,
it's not eight thousand. I'll tell you that. All right.
I'm sorry. Back to the steven A talking to Cam
Newton selfish or what I ask you, Cam?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
If you could give back that league MVP for a
Super Bowl championship, would you do it?

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Nope? Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Will?

Speaker 7 (16:51):
Really?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
What's more important impact or championships? If we're being honest,
thet of you holding yourself accountable to say everybody has
a responsibility to do and you could say, as an
MVP award winner or All American, you've hailed yourself or

(17:14):
you've hailed Joe into the bargain down. And that's what
it really comes down to it. For I know that's
not the popular pick. I'm trying to beep popularized. Well
you should because mine, for a sight take is I'm
taking individual success because I did my job.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Now you know I thought about it even more. How
about sharing this victory with all of the thousands and
millions of fans you have for the pride of the
city that you played for. No, your one stupid accolade
means more than that. You kidding me. The one time
announcement of and the MVP is Cam Newton met more
to him than celebrating with fifty plus teammate staff personnel,

(17:52):
the fans a parade exactly. Come on, was it his
job to jump on that fumble? Yeah? Yeah, well they
he has said recently, has one of his biggest regrets. Obviously,
So again we like him, but just no way that
he is right in saying that. He could think that
only wants. I mean, you know what, you could argue

(18:12):
that he's an entertaining guy and we're talking about him,
so a win for Cam Newton. Let's go to Eli
in Visalia. Your thoughts selfish, honest both ask clown awesome,
what do you think?

Speaker 11 (18:26):
What's happening?

Speaker 12 (18:27):
Corino?

Speaker 13 (18:27):
What's happening?

Speaker 6 (18:28):
Rich?

Speaker 7 (18:29):
Idiot?

Speaker 13 (18:29):
But wait, man, so this is the prototypical type of stuff.
If you would ask him that question during the season
after the Super Bowl loss, he would lie through his
teeth and say, oh, this is a team sport. But
now that he don't really have much going on from
besides the little podcast, well he has to say that
to stay relevant.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, think about that. If you were a GM or
a coach, would you ever hire a guy who thought
that way? No, so, yeah, he may be honest now,
but he did not have that attitude. Then that would
hire that guy. Yoh, Eli, That's a great point because
you know, you know, truth comes out when you're no
longer in the game, right, Like if we were done
with our broadcast career and someone's like, all right, now,

(19:10):
tell me what you really think about some of the
people you work for. Perhaps you know you're different. That
mentality is why they never won. That's perhaps that's what's
frustrating for the fans. It's the color Carolina fan.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
It's just it's almost like the true colors of Cam
Newton came out in that comment. And again he likes
to stir it up, so maybe he's enjoying this. H
Wallace in Charlotte, who I can only imagine does not
like that comment being from Charlotte.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (19:38):
No, I don't like it at all.

Speaker 13 (19:39):
But it just goes back to when he was in.

Speaker 14 (19:41):
The Super Bowl and fumbled the ball.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
And ran away from the pile.

Speaker 14 (19:45):
Instead of trying to recover. He's always been selfish.

Speaker 13 (19:48):
And that's what all the fans here and Charlotte think about.

Speaker 14 (19:51):
Him too.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
He's always been self fish, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's that check. That's not a good quality, you know.
Don't lean into your bad qualities. That's the problem with
today's world. Everyone leans into their own bad qualities and narcissism.
I love that's a that's a great point Kavino always makes.
When you think of what your worst traits might be,
people like lean into them like it's great, Like, hey, well.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
Love me for who I am. Well, not if you
could be better. I'm petty. I'm gonna live that up. Yeah,
pettiness is not a virtue, you know.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
You know what I'm saying. I know I have a
lot of bad qualities. I try to fix them. Not
like that's fix your bad qualities. Cavino's right. I was saying, yo,
fist bump to you, because people should try to improve
their bad qualities instead. Nothing bothers me more than when
a man or a woman is sort of like pain
and he has to deal with and they're sort of like, well,

(20:44):
that's just me, Like it's almost like a man being.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
A few years ago, before I met Brenda and I
was online dating, saw a lot of this on females profiles.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
They said this is how I am. This is how
I am. It's just my sign too bad, like take
me or love me or no. Yeah, I don't want
to deal with it. That's all right, don't don't enhance
your worst traits the end. All right. Now, let's say
hi to Trevor and Texas to rap it. Then we'll
go to dB front update. We'll go old school. We
got Benevedez Action pack CNR on Thursday. What's up, trev Hey,

(21:19):
what's going on?

Speaker 14 (21:19):
Guys? Theys take my call again. You guys are refreshing.
You always let me chime.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
In, no problem.

Speaker 14 (21:24):
What's up this Cam Newton thing is? I mean, I
would say it's disgusting, but at the same time, it's
just who he is, right And I know that you
guys just said that's not an excuse. What I wouldn't say, though,
is this ring champions on that team Luke Keikley. I
remember watching him get carted off crying, which pretty much

(21:45):
ended his career because he got knocked out on the field.
And I know that there's probably about fifteen offensive linemen
on that team, both both first string and backups, that
are not very happy with that comment. Because you probably
everybody in the studio. Can't name a single one of them,
but if they want a championship, that would have been

(22:06):
the highlight of their life.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, honestly, what an insult to all the offensive linemen,
the fans, but the fans. There's a couple of people,
the coach, the fans that supported this team and the offense. Right,
all right, I'm with you on this. Right, let's go
to our boy and yours, Dan Byer for an update. Damn,
what's up?

Speaker 8 (22:26):
I uh, I'll only talk to you Rich, not mister
twenty seven home run Steve Cavino. I have no idea
on how many league titles you've won. All I've heard
about is your individual accomplishment of twenty seven Little league
home runs. I've never heard about any division titles. I've
never heard about any regional titles.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
So I just just saying, Damn, Byer, what an amazing point.
I have not figured out over the last twenty years,
never won a championship. Would you give up your nationals
twenty seven? Would you give them up my little league accolades?
They're hard to compare to Super Bowls? Oh yeah, definitely.
Would you give up your twenty seven Little league home runs.

(23:07):
If you were said, oh, my team went to Cooperstown.
Oh went to Cooperstown without a doubt. Yes, all right,
yeah right, yes, yes. By the way, can you don't
stop growing that he's still fine? Yeah, as big as
I am now and literally, yeah, let's do it. Old

(23:28):
School went fifty hits. If there's a certain yes, what
we gonna go back.

Speaker 15 (23:36):
Back into town throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after cn R give
you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah yeah, boy, Now, get this is wild thought. As
we sit around streaming a million shows on Netflix, Apple, FULU, Max, Danny,
I know you and I are all about Apple TV
between Shrinking and Silo. Oh man, so good, two of
the best shows out range. Now honestly My Paradise though

(24:09):
starring the K Brown that's on Hulu. But we're sitting
around streaming a million shows. You're listening to podcasts. We
live in a world where entertainment at your fingertips. To
think back that on this day in nineteen thirty three,
The Lone Ranger debuted to twenty million listeners on the radio.

(24:31):
That's when people would be like a horse is coming. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
It first debuted on a Detroit radio station and then
when a company called Mutual Radio Network picked it up nationally,
over twenty million Americans were tuning into the Lone Ranger
three times a week by nineteen thirty nine.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Right, that's what I was gonn gad at So started
in Detroit, yeah, and then became a nationwide thing. And
you have to think back old school nineteen thirties. Yeah,
the who whole family sitting around the radio Walton style right,
sounds crazy, right, Like, yeah, you walk back to the
future and they go back to nineteen fifty five and

(25:11):
it was like fascinating, Like you have a TV like
that was fifty five. We're talking thirty three to thirty
nine here. To think that families would gather around the radio.
That's imagine like listening to our podcast with your family
in a circle. It's like, well, just Youmber in a
Christmas story that was in the Little ur Finnne right right,

(25:33):
And it's just that old school radio sort of thing,
and that was the power of radio and that's how
we all fell in love with it. So there's so
many questions, so many things that come to mind when
you think about that, that's some of your favorite radio
shows throughout history, some of your favorite personalities, because The
Lone Ranger is one of those legendary shows. I mean,

(25:55):
the movie flopped. Did you ever see the recent movie
with who was it? Johnny Depp? Did you ever see it?
I never saw. I think Olivia Munn was in that
with them, wasn't she? I don't remember. I never saw it.
But growing up you knew the legend of the Lone Ranger.
That's how popular it was. Over twenty million people were
tuning in to listen. So based on that thought, I

(26:17):
mean anything that comes to mind as far as radio
and what it meant to you and lasting impressions. But
are there shows today that would have been great, so
great that you would have still listened to them on
the radio? Probably most of them, because you would you
were just looking for entertainment at that stage of the game.
And again, there's so many questions when you think about

(26:39):
how families gathered around the radio, Like are there old
school forms of media and technology that you look back
and say, yeah, I wish I could have experienced what
that was like? Yeah, But why do you say that,
Like radio still exists you know what I'm saying. Kids
now at the at their fingertips, they grab the remote
and they start playing on your smart TV, and they
go to YouTube, they go to Hulu, they go to

(27:00):
Disney Plus, they do all this stuff. Your kids will
never know what it was like to go to Blockbuster,
start in the A's work you way to disease. They'll
never know that. They'll never know. I mean, we never
knew what it was like to sit around a radio
with our families. We never knew that. Our kids will
never know what it was like to wait in line

(27:21):
to buy tickets to a concert or a game. There's
a lot of technological advances, but when it comes to
shows you would listen to, it's an odd question because
what wouldn't the answer to everything?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Not really, because I think obviously there's some shows where
the dialogue's more important. And then during the commercial break,
Coveno and I were talking about shows cove that had
like really good transitions, like Seinfeld for instance.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
You don't think Seinfeld would have been a great radio
show with the family with the baseline and laughs and
but our stupid jokes, and you know, you could totally
imagine a family sitting around the radio into that back
in the day. Yeah, even like a curb your enthusiasm
with the stupid songs. I think that adds a lot.

(28:08):
And when I think old school radio and Lone Ranger
and things like that, I think even a show like
Dexter with the narration and doom beer beerm in your ear.
I can't imagine that being a radio I don't think
Grandma Walton would have let us listen to that, No,
but I could see that, you know, the way it's narrated,

(28:31):
like you'd sit there and listen. I don't know. I
think some shows would translate, some wouldn't. That's a great answer,
could be no, considering true crime podcast are the top category,
the only category, I'll be honest, the only category that
gets more views and listens than sports and comedy true crime.
So honestly, a show like Dexter would be like a

(28:52):
top a top tier old timey times radio show. You
got to think about the show's the radio shows and
TV shows that just sparked your imagination again. Lone Ranger
set the standard for so many families back in the
thirties as a guy who built his career in radio.

(29:13):
For me and we talked about this recently. It was
what really sparked my imagination was like, who are these
guys talking on the radio? Like Casey Casem who worked
in this building. I'd hear that voice and I'd hear
that reverb that a cousin Bruce he had or Akcy
case had, like who are these dudes? Because we didn't
have the Internet at our fingertips to figure out the

(29:35):
faces with the voice? Do you remember that feeling as
a kid? I mean not that we're not even at all,
but that entry for the Internet really stuck with me.
Before the Internet, who are you is in our lifetime?
If you were alive in the eighties and nineties until
let's say, social media came about in the two thousands.
Before that, if you heard a radio host, a morning show,

(29:56):
a sports talk host like yo. When I was a
kid and my dad would listen to Mike in the
Med Dog every day, I had no clue Planet Earth
what they look like. So now what I think of
that Matt doc Russo with his blue steel look on
a first take, he's rocking a magnum and a blue steel. Nowadays,
Oh yeah, you would never have known what they look like.
There would always be something like hot Shot, Nighttime Djail.

(30:17):
So in other words, thought and that sparked our imagination
because these guys had cool names and cool voices, and
they were so animated. They're cool jingles. Imagine how captivating
a lone ranger must have been back then, right, Like,
we will never know, that's the thing, because we never
lived it. It was a simpler time to be entertained,

(30:41):
right because think about it, what were the what were
people doing back then listening to shows like that on
the radio and then they would put records on and
just sit around and listen to them together. But I
guess it's similar to listening to an audiobook, no, which
I've never really done. I've dabbled here and there with
audio books because they're really just telling story worries when
you're thinking.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
About I listened to an audio book recently, and it's
that Bosch series which is on Amazon Prime. And the
actor from that show they paid him to be the
voice of the audio books. So it's acted out so
good old school.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
In fifty hits, we started early to make room for
David Benavidez. Your thoughts when we give you the history
of what happened on this day. It was sort of
a life changing moment. Families gathered around the radio to
hear Lone Ranger eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
Give us a call, What comes to Mine? Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. Again, We're Cavino and Rech

(31:35):
on Fox Sports Radio. We leave for this city tomorrow morning.
We will be in Vegas for the Benavidez Fight.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
What's up trip, Hey, gentlemen, how are you all today?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, good man, what's up?

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (31:44):
So, back in the eighties, when we first got cable TV,
I used to go get I grew up in the Southeast.

Speaker 7 (31:50):
I used to go to visit my grandfather every Sunday.

Speaker 12 (31:52):
We used to sit outside and listen.

Speaker 13 (31:55):
He's a diehard Yankees fan.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
We used to sit out there and listen to the Gang.

Speaker 13 (31:58):
And that's the way I was a still a little
off subject, but that's how I was caught up listening
to baseball.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Dude, it's not of subject at all. Because there's a
lot of people that still think baseball is the best
radio sport. I agree with that. I do. If you're
it's a comfort food, maybe I love it. Stuck in
the car and a game's on basketball, football. This is
definitely great play by play people, but baseball, there is
something about baseball and the radio. That's what you see
a bunch of nerds at the stadium with their headphones on.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
My summer, My summers were narrated by the great Vin
Scully for real, and my childhood wouldn't have been the
same without that.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Dude's playing around in the backyard and you hear the game,
you know you have the game on. Absolutely, I think
that's one of that would be it for us. I
think growing up because I didn't listen to shows like
The Lone Range, we didn't have that exactly, Josh and Ohio,
You're on with Cavino and Rich with somebody, Hey guys.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
A show that I watched about the sixties which had
a narrator on it I believe was Daniel Stern from
The Home Alone Movies was The Wonder Years. I think
it told the story sixties and it really it just
it gave a visualization for I'm an eighties baby, but
it really gave an idea of what it was like
for my parents to grow up in the sixties.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
That's a great answer, man, Josh. Not only great answer,
but I think you and Covino just broke the glass
on something. If you were an eighties baby like Josh
and me and a lot of people, if you grew
up in the eighties and nineties, wonder years, Dexter, I'll
throw in how I met your mother? Narration? Why do
we love Narration? Because honestly, there's just something different about

(33:29):
it and it really goes back to old school shows
on the radio. People love Narration. Everybody hates Chris Narration.
Does would all translate? Well, yeah, when you think about it. Now,
Wilson coming up. We talked to David Benavidez, champion the
fights this weekend in Vegas, So hang tight, that's next
right here on CNR. He's on the screen now. I'm

(33:54):
gonna see him this weekend in Vegas. Cavino. That's right.
The WBC ANDWBA light heavyweight be els are on the line.
Let's welcome WBC heavyweight champion, David ben Evita. What's up,
my man? How are you, Mexican Monster? Good to see you.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I'm doing good, man, I'm doing really good. How you
guys doing.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
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 3 (34:20):
My feeling confident? Did you not see the press conference? Dude,
I'm one hundred percent confidence, man. Like I said, David
Moreau 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 Benovie,
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.

(34:41):
You know, we we have a genuine dislike for each other,
and I think the track record shows in history when
you get two fighters like that really dislike each other,
the fight is amazing.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
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 3 (35:02):
Yeah? Well, I mean I'm feeling really good. And 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 (35:18):
And you said you dislike your opponent David Morrell. Why
is it exactly? Is it all the trash talk? Is
it 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 3 (35:30):
Yeah, it's just a trash talk, you know, just just
a trash talk. And then just seeing him face to
face of 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 gonna
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

(35:52):
up a little bit.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
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 3 (36:08):
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 and zero with
twenty four knock us sos work pretty good for.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Me, no doubt. Absolutely. Yeah, both undefeated fighters going at
it this weekend, and you mentioned that you're gonna break
his jaw. So it's not just about beating this dude.
You want to hurt this dude, Is that right?

Speaker 3 (36:41):
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. That
guy's a monster.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Now, you obviously have your personal expectations. You also have
a reputation of being a man throw. 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 3 (37:12):
To be honest with you, I felt 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 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.

(37:32):
So I reha that in my blood, 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 (37:38):
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? That's great?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, it's amazing, man, It's really so Like I want
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 you 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,

(38:08):
It's like, 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 leaving out my dreams right now.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
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 3 (38:36):
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 don't think like that.

(38:57):
Once you go once, Once you're a fire and your warrior,
you don't think like, oh, is this guy gonna hit hard,
this and that. You just go in there, You do
the work and that's it.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
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 3 (39:13):
You know what I mean? I wouldn't be shocked because
this is boxing. 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 there putting as much
precire as possible to make sure I get that ko.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
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 3 (39:45):
Yeah? I do, more like a Mexican artist 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 hardest, so this fight,
I'm planning on doing it 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 get the people what they want to see.

(40:06):
So every fight, every fight, it's gonna get bigger and bigger.
So I am adding artists to all my fights now.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
And I love that because you know, it's all about
entertainment and this gets them hyped up. And I see
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 5 (40:34):
Man?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
And your brothers on this card too? So yeah, does
that make it more nerve wracking for you? You're just
so confident in him, So tell me about him on
the card and tell me about seeing him in the movie.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
No.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
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'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. I

(41:05):
love my brother, 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 entrance in the
movie and just seeing him being in the Cree 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 Creed and you know

(41:26):
it's gonna keep getting bigger and better. So, like I said, managers,
with all the hard work and dedication, anything could be manifested.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Now, I was gonna say, when you were growing up
in Phoenix with your brother, could you have ever imagine
when you guys were tussling, wrestling in the living room,
throwing pillows at each other, would you ever imagine that
you guys would both be at this level? Like, was
there any signs early on? Like, yo, we got skills, bro.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
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

(42:08):
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 (42:16):
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 bev also fights Bevil
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 3 (42:36):
Yeah? I feel like, honestly, I feel like Bevault 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

(42:57):
I said, stay tuned because you know greatness.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Will be 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? I better BEF Bible or Canelo? Because everybody
still brings up Canelo, But you know, are you past
that at one seventy five? Are you not looking back?
What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 3 (43:19):
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 Canelo.
He's achieved a lot. But I think that's a easier
fight than Bible. Honestly, I think I beat Canelo easier

(43:41):
than I beat Bavol. I think bevol he's a tough fighter,
and but I think the Canelo fight is bigger than
the fight versus me and Baboul.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
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 retch. One last thing. You're a You're a
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 3 (44:09):
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 is like, hey, I bet
I'm betting on you for Oh so now you're fucking
betting on now I'm supposed.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
To win or right right?

Speaker 3 (44:22):
But I don't really look at that, you know, because
you know, sometimes I don't. I don't really like to
pay attention to that stuff because a fighter, in my opinion,
every fighter is dangerous and every fighter is good. So
I got to 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. I just try to stay focused on the

(44:43):
fight until the job is done.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
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 3 (44:54):
Just like an all in boxing, Yeah, neigh versus Canelo
will be good, So I would love to see I
would love to see Devin Haney versus Uh, I mean
Devin Hainey, Ryan Garcia versus Tank two. Really good fight
but with no weight clause.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Right, 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. Is David Benevdez, Thank you, my friend,
Thank you. Mane the street 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

(45:34):
to Bevil, right. He 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 O 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

(45:56):
one 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 heights. 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 gonna be a battle. And they dislike each other.
And we're gonna be out there this weekend from Radio

(46:17):
Row at MGM starting tomorrow, So tune in Covino and
Rich and if you want to see the fight on
Saturday PPV dot com or Premiere Boxing Champions dot com.
Benevedez Morell, well, we got a lot of NFL. We're
gonna get back to some football, some NBA and uh,
Denny's about you guys. Can you know you guys doing
a laundry tonight? Or what. I just know. I just realized,

(46:40):
like we have to pack all yeah, we have to
pack for a weekend in vide You only have a
few chonies left. No, I'm just saying, so you got
to pack for a long weekend in Vegas and then
a week plus in New Orleans for the Super Bowl.
So I'm just reminding you guys, you clean your toony,
pack your nice shirts. Oh you're right.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
I actually dropped off some things at a dry cleaner
just a few days ago.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Yeah, so don't forget to pick that up and we'll
be back. We're gonna talk some more NFL. Right now,
let's talk about Karl Anthony Towns of the New York Knickerbockers.
Uh huh, yeah, she dances bringing am I sta being
a nick 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,

(47:23):
Willie Walker. That's right, you're right, Oh, Timothy Oliphant. Do
you say Timothy Oliphant? You confuse me? I think you
were Joe Timmothy Shallow May Shallow May wrong, Timothy, Sorry, wrong,
mad Dog Russo's best friend Timothy Shall. Yes, that guy,

(47:45):
Bob Dylan, Timothy shallow May and Canthony Towns gave him
the jersey. That's a cool Shalla May again just continues
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

(48:05):
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. Plus is an
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

(48:28):
you had him wrong? That you had him wrong? They
won you over because you're 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,
Timothy shallow May, like, doesn't he sounded like an artsy
in that way? 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

(48:48):
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 shop setting.
I got. I got a few examples of guys who's
I got one guy who comes to it. I hope.
I don't take your answer, I think, but I got
a couple that I really changed my mind on, just
based on interactions with them and watching them. Nick Lache,

(49:14):
that's a good answer. Yeah, love, 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 that he was with Vanessa Minilo Lache,
he looks scared of her all the time. 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

(49:36):
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, Reds, you
nah it? So Nickolache is one of those guys where
you'd be shocked that he knows as much or more
than you about sports. And and you know, because a

(49:58):
lot of times dudes in that pop world people assume, like, oh,
other pop world guys, but they're not my answer, and
I don't want to. I was gonna say to me
when I saw guys like 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.

(50:19):
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 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

(50:42):
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 are into more
mainstream pop stuff. I grew up in pop radio. You
think I've created the stigma for them. But I'm saying

(51:03):
it's guys like you though, No, that guys 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 out of your mind
you lean into it. No, or that they lead us

(51:25):
to believe these things with the goofy stuff that they do.
Because they said they sing a pop song instead of
a 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 11 (51:41):
One.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
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 a true uh not vander pumps the
Real Housewives. Yeah, you guys got to get that straight.
Is that right? Yes? But it's not just pop guys.
Billy Corgan was my answer. You just brought up pop.

(52:03):
He's the one that brought up pop dudes and made
it about me. What a goonberger? Do you listen to?

Speaker 10 (52:07):
This guy?

Speaker 1 (52:08):
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 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 his old school wrestling

(52:29):
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 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, I assume that,
assume that if you grew up and you're more into

(52:51):
pop music than rock, or you're more mainstream, says, there's
so many men you know into pop music. Bud into
boy bands? How many men you know into boy band?
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

(53:18):
never misses a playoff game of his teams. Paul Rudd's
wanting to hang out with the team. And 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

(53:39):
man on television. In real life, he is a sports
for that. Yeah, 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
the side of them because you only know the actors
that are the characters they portray.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
You guys who 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 (54:14):
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 Covin 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

(54:36):
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 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 garden, right, Oh,

(54:58):
SHAMMI Lemerdino 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. Wonka. 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, you know what,
I got a couple hours. I'll watch Wonka blown away

(55:21):
by his talent. Ah, it was great. You hated the original.
I never watched it. I didn't hate it, and ever
really was a Willy Wonka kind of man. Jean Wilder
was magic. Yeah, but Timothy shallome was really good. I
didn't expect anything. I'll put it above the Johnny Depp one.
How about that? Okay? Yeah? Yeah. By the way, Kat
not only gave him the jersey, he signed it. Yeah,
signed the jersey based on that and so cool. Like

(55:43):
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 eight seven seven ninety nine, O, Fox, Can.

Speaker 9 (55:57):
I share a quick one? But yeah, sure, quickly. Sorry
this is not sports related. 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.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
This is not just some fluffy you know, a different role. Yeah,
it was. He still strike he as a weenie though,
I mean he's he's also Batman. I saw this movie
good Time.

Speaker 9 (56:24):
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 (56:29):
He played a cool guy, so maybe he is cool.
He's a cool guys of Okay. Yeah, But based on
the autograph and jersey given to Shalla may Jelemy, 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,

(56:50):
you caught someone's drumstick. This is your chance to brag
about it, because those moments are kind of cool, because
in a sea of fifty five thousand people, you were
the one person that bag my daughter at a concert
full of fifty five thousand people, caught a guitar pick
from Corn from Monkey is himself from the band Corn.
No good for her, I mean, out of all those people,

(57:12):
that's awesome. All right, what do you got? The year
was nineteen eighty eight, eighty eight? What do you have?

Speaker 6 (57:21):
Right?

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Keith Hernandez's mustache hairs? What do you got? I was
at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island at a wrestling event
and Georgia Animal Steel ripped open the turn buckle and
he threw all of it right at me. That's the
number one answer on the board. No I have as
a kid in his eating a turn buckle phone in
a ziplock bag as a kid, I'm not a joke it.

(57:43):
I had turnbuckle? What from what? A wrestling? The Animal Steel?
I'm glad we waited for the stop. It all right?
Go to Montana and Mike rapid Fire to wrap the show.
It's up, my gentlemen.

Speaker 14 (57:55):
Good afternoon, which a long time.

Speaker 11 (57:57):
First time. I got two quick ones.

Speaker 5 (57:59):
One.

Speaker 11 (57:59):
I was living in New York in twenty twelve and
a friend from high school was engaged to the engineer
for the Black Keys. Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys
was doing a show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
with Doctor John, whose record he just produced. She got
me the backstage pass from her boyfriend that got to
go back and meet everybody. Fanboy to Dan Auerbach shake

(58:19):
his hand. I'll never forget it.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
That's awesome. Yeah, that's really cool. Andy and mississip what's

Speaker 12 (58:28):
Thanks, guys. The Jackson Metz won their Texas League championship
and they had an anniversary at the Mississippi Sports Hall
of Fame, and I got to meet Darryl Strawberry and
got his autograph for the picture.

Speaker 1 (58:42):

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 old Vegas.

Speaker 14 (59:07):
It was very little.

Speaker 6 (59:08):
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.

Speaker 7 (59:19):
Se for dear Roy.

Speaker 6 (59:19):
And they came over and gave me a hat and
it was a black and white stripe like tiger hat.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Dude, I don't even know if I want to take
another call. We win. We said the coolest thing you

thought they were going to give him one of their tigers. Wait,
