thank you guys for hanging out. We will reminant. It

(04:07):
before we get into no Way show. Hey, before we
get into show, Hey, o Toddy, what a ridiculous night
way showing everything from people waiting twelve hours for a
bubblehead that they would have got anyway, before we talk
about the.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Walk, are we sure about that?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Don?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Was that ever confirmed that everyone got it? You know,
I'm sure people were putting up a fuss if they didn't.
I was Sam. So we'll get to all that. But
you wrote down the number eight seven seven nine nine
on Fox. Sure did that's our number? And as you
wrote it down, you got me thinking, on a throwback Thursday,
what are some of the skills that you used to
have that are just obsolete now. Because two things come

(04:44):
to mind from me as you wrote that down. I
feel like I was the wizard of memorizing everyone's phone number.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Girls.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I was dating everyone's friend their parents' house. You were
a mental rolodex of phone numbers. And then you got
your first smartphone, and now you might not even know
your girlfriend, our wife's phone number. That's why we encourage
you get this Fox Sports Radio Nation. We encourage everybody
to use their brain. Because we're so quick to go
to Google all the time or chat GPT for the answers,

(05:12):
knowing that we have that information at our fingertips. We
don't rely on our brain, and we're getting dumber by
the day. Not only we're getting dumber, we're missing out
on fun conversations. I hate when our video guy spot says, oh, Google,
because I'm like, no, I ask using your recall. Yeah,
I asked you because I'm I don't know having a conversation.
I could look up you know how many Cy Young's

(05:34):
Roger Clemens had, But guess what, sometimes it's fun to
be like, yo, don't look it up. What do you think? Like?
It's called using your damn brain. And I think we
need to do a little more of that. But when
it comes to skills that we may have had back
in the day that maybe technology took over, like remembering
a phone number. I recently was at a kid's birthday
party with my little rugrats, and I don't think any

(05:55):
of the other adults I was embarrassed for them. Oh no,
they didn't know how to keep score in bowling. That
was the skill we all had growing up. We had
no choice, especially at the weak ass bowling alley I
grew up at. I grew up in Union, New Jersey.
This is a true story. You put the little pencil
in the ash tray and you had your little paper.
You were right, a huge part of my life. You know,

(06:16):
my parents are on hold. They were in leagues that
grew up running around. I was in the league. I
would go, yeah, man, I'd go steeve rake, I'd go
bowling every weekend. I go, is it labor awesome that
I I've had multiple bowling balls as a kid. Remember,
you would get your name engraved in it, and you
know the trick was a white crayon or yell. But

(06:39):
if you did a white crayon in that waxed it off.
Oh it look mint, meaning if your name's engraved, it
would get dirty and wear out over time, so you
just refilled it in with the wax of the cran.
But anyway, yeah, I love bowling. Shout out to Pete
Weber and Dick. I'm a big bowling fan. And yeah,
keeping score was just part of the skill set. And

(07:02):
you would have that overhead projector and that week ass
paper they would give you because it wasn't always on
on regular paper. It was that that projector paper, projectorsparency paper.
You're right. And I went to a bowling alley growing
up Highway Bowl and it was so weak Sam that

(07:22):
there was a strip club connected to it, and an
all nuty strip club. Like that sounds like, yeah, it
was called Hot Tawny bowling Alley strip. Be sure where
your fingers are going, seriously, I'll be there all night.
I was gonna say that sounds like, uh, that's way
better when than what do they combined like a KFC
and a Taco bell or something, Pizza Hut and taco

(07:44):
t AFC and Pizza Hut. That's a way better. But
I'm not even Kenya like that was the scene. But
man keeping score is what we did because we didn't
have the obviously the monitors and all the computers that
do it for you now. And you could say the same.
You always make the funny reference, hey, if you're keeping

(08:05):
score at home? Announcers would say that because there would
be people that would keep baseball score. I mean some
people still do that at the game with the program.
I don't know, dud, have you seen anyone by a program.
I've been to plenty of games over the last decade.
The idea of that guy that speaks like he's from
the nineteen twenties program got your program here? He puts
on that accident programs I didn't. I mean, I would

(08:28):
enjoy that. As a kid. You'd write in the lineup.
You'd get to the ballpark, you'd be like, all right,
who's oh, all right, Lenny Dykster's battings, he's leading off.
You would write it in. You would keep score. You
go to your kid's little league game. Now they put
the mom in charge with an app on their iPad,
and people don't keep score anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
There's teams that don't even make programs any longer.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I have to download it from the internet because I
asked a guy at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I'm like, how'd you even get that? He downloaded it?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
So two forgotten sports skills keeping bowling score? Get your
program here, keep being my program. A baseball card, you know,
a baseball score, the scorecard. And how about this. I
think you and I do this more than the average fella.
And I struggle rich and I write a lot. But
as I get older, I noticed my handwriting is just

(09:17):
for the birds.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I can't even read my own handwriting at the time.
So people that don't write as often as we do,
you have to imagine they're forgetting how to write. And
they're not even teaching kids cursive really anymore. And if
you don't use it, you lose it. The Yankees actually
did a bit on this recently, and they asked people
to spell the Yankees incursive and these dudes didn't know
how to do it. They didn't know how to do it,

(09:40):
so lost art. That's insane. Yeah, they didn't know. They're like,
I don't know how to do it at all. But
if time goes on, you're not writing anything really ever
here and there you're on your computer all the time,
or texting somebody, your handwriting just gets worse and worse.
But you know, there are some things that I usually

(10:02):
tend to lean towards the newer technology. But again, our
video guy spot every so often he's like, want me
to get you guys some like touch screens that you
could type on for your notes, And I'm like, no,
I like, I like to write my notes for the
show I do is take longer. Though, priorities changed and
things changed along the way, Like you know, some people

(10:23):
don't even know how to bend the brim of their
hat because for years people weren't bending the brim of
their hat, and that lost art became a thing. Now
it's coming back, like, kim me out bend it for you.
You think I don't know how to round out a
brim of a hat, or Rich didn't even know how
to break in a glove. He's asking everyone around the office,
how do you break in a glove? Like it never
broke a glove? That is not trust you know what?

(10:44):
Where's Warner Wolf? Back to the videotape, you were asking
everyone that was willing to listen the best way to
break into a baseball man? Although no, say, that's completely
different than what you just said. I said, what's the
best way, Because the last time I broke in a
glove I was rubbing. I was using rubber bands oil,
putting it under my mattress or like the recliner in
the living room. Nowadays that you bring him to Dick

(11:07):
Sporting good they bring into the back and put in
some steaming machine and you know there's shark tank items
where kids are wrapping it with like you know, a
rubber glove of sorts. So I know how to do it.
I'm just saying, there's new ways to do everything. And
I just bought my daughter a new glove, and I
was thinking, like do I go old school, rub a
little oil in that bad boy, put it under the couch?

(11:29):
What do you do? It depends the kind of glove
you're getting. If you're getting a really high end glove,
it's gonna need some breaking in. But they make these
soft leather gloves for these kids nowadays where they don't
have to do that. We didn't have that out when
we were kids. I prefer that as a coach because
all these little kids have little weak hands. Right, you're
coaching like six and seven year olds. You need to

(11:49):
give him those crappy like almost plastic ge gloves. Begin Rich,
We're kind of coming off a little like higher brown here,
like man, like, we don't do these things anymore? How
could you be so dumb? You and I don't know
how to really do a tie because we don't have
to and we didn't grow up in a time where
we had to do it all the time. Like do
you really know how to do it? It's like a lost art.

(12:10):
I have to get someone else. I'd be like, Dan Byer,
can you do my tie for me? If we went
to a formal event. If we went to a formal event,
my the not of my tie would be so crappy
that I probably would I would be able to do it,
but you know what I would likely do. I'd be like, yeah, Dan,
can you do my tie for me? And then he'd
slip it out over his head and hand it to

(12:31):
me like I'm a school boy actually saw Steven a
fixing Mad Dogs tie on TV. I would actually sattle
up behind you.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yes, yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
You know. I don't want to be like, oh, these
generations today don't know how to take a bowling score.
Will be Rich and I barely know how to. We
don't know how to do our own oil because we
don't have to. Yeah, there's there's skills like that. Like
anytime we have that conversation, my goodness, people will hate
on me because I'm like, oh, I don't know how
to change my own oil. Why would I have to?

(13:05):
Most cars now they don't recommend you do it yourself,
and you don't have to change your oil every couple
thousand miles like back in the day, some cars you
could go, you know, years without changing your oil. Yeah,
we didn't grow up in that culture of tinkering with
your car. Oh, I guess this is where add radio
gets you, because we're gonna get to show hey in
a second. I was just I saw you writing down

(13:26):
the phone number, and it made me think that just
one of those skills like back in the day. Well,
it's not that I don't know I can name anyone
that you know. I like to visually have it here
written down when I when I shout it out, you
can name any one of your childhood friends. And like,
there's something about you that you still could probably shout
out those kids' phone numbers. Yet you don't know anyone's

(13:46):
number in this room except mine, maybe because we've known
each other pre cell phones, pre smartphones. Do you remember
your original childhood phone number? Of course. Yeah. Sometimes I
feel like I'm going to call it up. See you answers.
I have a movie concept, Dan, where I call my
childhood phone number and it's me and it's like something

(14:07):
like time travel. Rod Sterling probably did that around. Hello, Yeah,
that's rich Ya. Hold on, Gary Carter's batting. What is
rich in nineteen eighty six? What's going on? And that's
It's like, I don't know if it's a comedy or
a suspense thriller. I'm still working on.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
I'm hour in forty seven minutes. That minute one too late.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Out of the way. It's a black mirror episode.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Would there be a tear in the universe?

Speaker 5 (14:30):
As Doc Brown alludes to a time shift continuum in
the paradox of the universe.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Hey, hold on called Landline?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Would that be the movie? Hey wait, little Richie, don't
hang up? Yes, what's mom making? Oh shaking big pork chops?
It's true?

Speaker 6 (14:47):
Must be you like, yeah, dude, I mean and the
oscar goes to Landline.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Rich Davis, the truth is the more my tie the
that of the oscars. The more reliant we are on
other people on tick anology, the less the more in
neft you become as a result. And that's just the
fact we don't need to keep score anymore. We have
a computer that does it. We don't need to remember things.

(15:12):
We have a phone that does. And you know the
best example of that is and we'll take a couple
of phone calls and again we'll move on to baseball.
But navigation, we are all severely like you know, we've
our capacity to know where things are. Now, Cavino, you've
lived in California quite a while. You don't know where

(15:32):
certain towns are because I don't either. I know this
because you know why, Hey, Cavino, we needed to go
to this event in Santa Clarita. You'll be like, Okay,
then you just pop it in your navigation and hope
it's not that far. I know that's outside the valley,
just outside you don't even know. So again, yeah, I mean,
things change, but I remember I try to remember most

(15:53):
phone numbers. Rich back to the original thought, eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox again, I hope you had
a show, hey, show time type of night. And my
thought here is again, that's what superstars do. This is
greatness right in front of us, a bona fide superstar.
One could argue, and I don't think it's an argument. Actually,

(16:14):
if you're the one arguing, I just think you want
to debate somebody and you're trying to be contrarian. Because
he's the biggest star, the biggest star in sports by far.
Right now, there is no debate, especially when you factor
in the international fame that he's got. All right, hold
on now, there's no debate. Repeat that show. Hail Tani,

(16:34):
especially after a walk off home run on his own
Bobblehead Night, MVP Bobblehead Night, is doing what superstars do,
the flair for the impossible, the flair for the big moment,
the guy hitting a walk off on his night. He
proves over and over again that he's the biggest star

(16:57):
in sports in the world. Give me the biggest NBA
star right now, who would that be? In your minds?
Biggest star in the world right Lebron James just by
name alone, still playing the biggest star, the biggest star,
like he's he's at the mall. The mall's closing down
type of star biggest star in the National Football League,

(17:17):
Patrick Mahomes, Yes, that's a fair answer. You know, you
could debate these things though. I think you could debate
all of those things. You could debate that, No it's
Steph Curry or no, it's whatever. You cannot debate Shoho Tani.
That's the point. Biggest star in hot dog getting and
that's why it's so great for baseball. You have a
guy like Aaron Judge who honestly is his numbers are

(17:41):
circus numbers. They're like Herman Munster numbers. Aaron Judge every
time he hits the ball goes five hundred and sixty feet. Yes,
Showhy is such a massive superstar like Judge has to
take a back seat to the superstardom of sho he Otani.
It's unbelievable. And you know the difference, Aaron U drop
the ball in the World Series. Unfortunately, m he's a

(18:04):
show Tani, calm, cool, collected, walk off with a smile,
never a doubt. That's what superstars do.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
And it's done without really any commercial push because there's
a language barrier, so it's not like he's in every
commercial that you see, Like maybe Patrick Mahomes so accuringly
was for a while. Lebron will be special on HBO,
this and that. He's here, there and everywhere, commercials, movies,

(18:37):
and it's all based on performance, which is pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
There's there's nothing and you know what, dB, you nailed it,
because what's his weakness. Dude could run, dude could throw,
He's hittings. There's nothing descripted, there's nothing manufactured, nothing about
about the star that is show Hailtani. That's a great
point where everything is based on and he's at that
surely his skill in the batter's box, on the mound

(19:03):
in every situation. Company Rich. I don't know if this
is debatable ready. I don't know if anyone said this yet,
but he is at the level of like a Michael Jordan.
If not there already, he's getting there the more and
more we see moments like this. And here's why I
say that I wasn't a Bulls fan. I'm not from Chicago,

(19:23):
but every kid under the moon wanted to be like Mike.
Every kid, if you like sports had a Jordan poster,
you were Michael Jordan's meaning. He transcended city, he transcended rooting, interest.
He was just great and we embraced greatness, right, So
I think Shohail Tani is like on that level of
like it doesn't matter who you root for. I'm a

(19:45):
Yankees fan. I'm embracing this dude and what he's doing
every day because his greatness. If the Dodgers went back
to back OH Series, which would be the first team
to do it since the Yankees in the late nineties,
you know, it's been twenty five years. If the Dodgers
win back to back and Otani just has another bananas

(20:06):
year where he goes fifty to fifty, you know, hitting
three hundred coming up in the postseason, I would put
him in that level of Michael Jordan. I don't see
why you won it. He's it's like, I feel like
we're one big championship or one one more accomplished way
not He's internationally famous in every Latino country, in every

(20:27):
Asian country. In the United States, he's internationally known. Michael
Jordan basketball wasn't big everywhere when he was big so
and again, but a worldwide brand eventually. But that's the
difference with show here. I think we're really underestimating and
undermining the greatness that we're witnessing, and petty reasons to

(20:47):
root against him are going to be put aside. I
don't want to see the Dodgers win no offense Danny
g but I do enjoy watching this guy.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
He's so likable, and it's the same way that I
always admitted even though my favorite NFL team is in
the AFC West, I still like Patrick Mahomes. He was
likable and show hayes the same way. And the one
thing that's already Jordan asked about show Hey is that
it was awesome that he hit the walk off on
his bibblehead night, but it was not surprising watching And

(21:16):
then in the post Dodgers game show on Spectrum TV,
they were saying, thirty three minutes ago, I predicted shoe
Hey was going to do it, but I think a
lot of people watching were like, watch, show He's going
to win this.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
When it was tied up five five.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Thanks to Max Muncy, a lot of us were like, Okay,
watch what show Hey's going to do.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
And that's what we expected of Michael Jordan too.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
We knew he was going to hit the game winner
because superstars, right there are stars and then they're superstars.
Star and we abused the term superstars. We overuse it.
Superstars rise to the occasion, right, and they lived for
that occasion and Rich there's like a science behind it
where the moment slowed down for these superstars. And I

(21:58):
know you don't agree with what I'm about to say.
There's two other people that had this this kndact that
hes stick about them. Don't ruin the conversation. No, no, no,
I'm not saying they're superstars, but they had this quality. Okay.
One of them is Big Poppy. If you don't think
he had the flair for the dramatic, you're out of
your mind. And the other one is Derek Cheeter. Whether
you like him or not, the dude had too many

(22:18):
of those show Hay type moments where it wasn't coincidence,
like every time it mattered, the guy came through. And
that's the difference. Show Hay is one of those guys.
And that's why it was odd to see Patrick Mahomes
fall so flat in the World's in the super Bowl,
because you wouldn't have expected that from him because you
had him in Superstar at a superstar level category. I

(22:39):
think what we're seeing with show Hay is a once
in a lifetime thing. I'm stating the obvious rich because
we already compared him to Babe Ruth. But I think
his star is going to be bigger than Jordan's. He
just needs a cool sneaker to accompany it, international language barrier,
yet still the biggest name in sports. All right, your thoughts,
you're well, the question is biggest biggest star in sports

(23:01):
in the world right now? If you want to debate it,
by all means, get ahead. Travis Kelce because he's dating Taylorswift.
Not a chance. I'm just starting out there. I mean, no,
it's fun. It's a top ten name recognition. Your thoughts.
If it's not Otani, then who is it. There's not
a boxer, there's not a UFC fighter. You know, Caitlin

(23:22):
Clark's top ten or twenty in the conversation, But does
anyone really care about women's basket Like someone's on the
edge of their seat or in their car right now
and they're like Reno though or some soccer dude, And
that would be a fair answer, especially if you go
to social media and you see them. Yeah, they got
circus numbers double like Kim Kardashian numbers. So I get it.

(23:44):
That's a fair assessment, but I would argue that show Hey,
is that guy right? Your thoughts will get to your feedback.
Next show Hey, biggest star in the world or not.
Plus we'll go old school, pay a little tribute to
Val Kilmer and the great music in movie history. All
next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Is your business

Get something nice? Did you see that last at MLB

(25:36):
Collection last night the show Hao Tani Bubblehead Night. They
were special, limited edition. There were special ones where the
bat was a different color, and they were there were
people not putting them up on eBay. I didn't know
people still buy things on eBay. Nine hundred to one
thousand dollars for some of these, especially Actually you put
something on eBay. Yeah, what are you selling? I have

(25:57):
an msport BMW right? Yeah? And does that sound douchey,
because that's what I mean. What do I say? It
explains my purchase, so there's no way to get around it.
I guess I could have said I bought license plate
covers and like caps from my tires, but they were specific.

(26:19):
They say three on it. I was going for the deep.
It's a three series. It's not a brag. Trust me.
I want an Icer car. I'm working hard for it
next contract. You know.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I got a Bentley keychain recently from Amazon from my
I just need the car.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah. I was not meant to sound douchey at all.
I guess what it really wasn't. But anyway, we're Cavino
and Rich That dy g super produced in at eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We got Iowa Sam
on the ones and twos. DB's got your updates. But
Rich as show hey continues to impress, and we hear
on the show say he's the biggest thing we've seen,

(26:59):
not since sliced Bread, since Michael Jordan. That's the truth.
He is surpassing Jordan in my opinion, he just doesn't
have a hit shoe yet that we are all jumping on.
But he'll get there. I saw that ESPN, who doesn't
even care about baseball like we do. Yeah, how embarrassing
that ESPN on their app moved baseball like down the

(27:22):
like like below like the WNBA. No, they had a
hot dog eating before baseball now. Meanwhile, baseball is like
the hottest thing going. Is ridiculous. But they ranked the
top one hundred MLB players now show Hey, I'm saying
biggest in sports. But do you want to know who
they say the top ten baseball players are? I thought
it was interesting. Can I see how many I could get?
I'm gonna just list off of you. I want to

(27:44):
see the Yeah, go ahead, ready, And I'm starting with
the number one because it's so damn obvious. Sho Hao Tan,
He's number one, number two. Look in a countdown, you
usually start from number ten, but number one, show, hey,
you are no Casey Casimer's Harrison starting with number one,
coming at number two, Spider Harrison, how about just based

(28:06):
on his performance yesterday and the hype Paul Skins see
in the top ten he's got to be about Theron Soto. No,
that's just great about this Booky Betts, no beat it
number two coming to number two. Bobby wit Junior. Dude,
he's nasty and he just might be. This might be
his year. You see the places dudes. Megan, of course

(28:26):
I'm a Yankees fan, but you gotta give your props
to Bobby Witt Junior coming in number three, Mookie Betts, dude,
and think about it, just another flare for the dramatic athleticism.
Just a big time player. I can't argue. And he's
a small dude. You see what they posted on I
think I could say this. They posted the Mookie got

(28:50):
hit by a pitch? Did you see this? And they're
saying it's the zestiest hit by pitch ever? Like he
puts his back in, like, oh, it's so funny, looks
a little suspicious. Hey, So Mookie clear superstar Otani, Bobby
Wood Jr. Judge and Soto got to be next back
and back to back. And also take this because we're

(29:12):
basically glazing as the kiddie say show Hey, Otani, but
he is the best in a time where there's so
many great superstars. He still leaps and bounds a bigger
superstar than all these people. Yeah, so you got show
Hey Witt Junior and Mookie BET's number three, Aaron Judge
at number four, Schemes at number five, Jose Ramirez at

(29:36):
number six, Jose Ramirez over Jan Soto, Jordan Alvarez at
number seven. Your boy wants Soto at eight, which I
loved because I was hoping he didn't make the top
ten at all. Oh, that's good because he likes when
people he likes doubters. Yeah, but I was surprised they
had him ranks a low, but you know whatever. At
nine Zach Wheeler and at ten schoobl So that's your

(29:56):
top ten according to ESPN. What do they know?

Speaker 6 (29:58):
I do also want to point out that Rich named
three of those guys, and every time Kevina goes, no, no.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
But you said schemes right, scheme bets, No, No, you're
not even listening.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
No, No, I nailed the list. You know what I
would have got wrong though, I was. I would have
thought that based on reputation and big player Bryce Harper, huh,
not on the list, not in the top ten, according
to ESPN. I now lists are made to be discussed.
So call me crazy. I love Zach Wheeler. I think
he's a great pitcher. Former New York met Philadelphia, Philly.
But Zach Wheeler top ten player in the game, saw

(30:33):
you on candidate every year, but Zach with really they
have Bryce Harper at number Eleven's funny you say that,
and Freddie Freeman at number twelve. So you listen to
these names, guys, you realize, like this is this is
the weakest. Are you saying? I was going to give
you the weakest analogy? Remember in the nineties when they
called it the Disney Renaissance because Disney hadn't done Diddley's

(30:55):
Squad since Pinocchio until like Beauty and the Beast and
then all sud it was a lattine and everything else. Right, Baseball,
as far as I see it hasn't done anything since,
uh since Derek Jeter in my opinion. Now you got
Freddie Freeman, Vladdie Junior, Gunner, Henderson, Fernando taed Tis Lindor

(31:16):
like the names are endless, and Shohey is still a star,
a superstar amongst the stars. No dignity, no dead it is.
It's the baseball Renaissance. Enjoy it. Enjoy it like you
enjoyed Lion King and Little Murmith, just like you enjoyed Poghona.
All right, let's go to Dan Bayer for an update.
D be what's up, my friend?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Guys?

Speaker 6 (31:37):
We start out with Major League Baseball, where the Astros
are leading the Twins four to two right now, playing
in the bottom of the fifth inning in Minneapolis. Earlier today,
the Red Sox doubled up the Orioles eight four. Alex
Bregman is first home run in a Red Sox uniform,
while Kyle Schwarber is sitting four home runs now on
the season, homering today in the Phillies three to one
win against the Rockies. USC's Juju Watkins was named the

(31:59):
Associate Press Women's College Basketball Player of the Year. Final
four for the women come up tomorrow. On Saturday, It's
National semi finals in the men's game and All American
jan I Broom practice today for Auburn Grizzli's guard John
Morant won't be suspended for mimicking the firing of a
gun during Tuesday's game against the Warriors. Golden State Warriors

(32:20):
Buddy Healds also made similar actions. Both were given warnings
the NBA told ESPN while the actions were inappropriate, they
believe both players weren't violent in nature. Nicks could be
getting Jalen Brunson back soon. NBA insider Chris Hayden says
Brunson will practice on Friday with the possibility of playing
Saturday against the Hawks. Sixers are shutting Tyree Maxi down

(32:42):
for the season because of his finger injury, and now
in the NFL Trey mccrupp brick. Trey McBride is the
highest paid tight end in the game. Four year extension
from the Cardinals were seventy six million dollars. Raiders are
giving Geno Smith a two year extension now. Fox Sports
insider Jordan Schultz says it's worth eighty five point five
million dollars with sixty six point five million dollars guaranteed.

(33:05):
Other spots are saying it's a seventy five million dollars
two year extension. Cowboys acquired Patriots backup quarterback Joe Milton
in a trade early Thursday. Patriots getting a fifth rounder,
Cowboys get Milton and a seventh rounder.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Guys back to.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
You, yeah, thank you, dB that the NBA didn't overreact
to the h the air gun only because like you
remember the postseason in the NFL, I forgo, I won't
remember a wide receiver did like first down with like
it happened a few times. Yeah, and I remember being
a penalty and I'm like, Seria, come on, really, we're
gonna we're gonna let that dictate fifteen yards in a

(33:38):
playoff game?

Speaker 6 (33:39):
Come on, now, Well, that player probably hasn't had gun
related instances like John Morant has had. That's the real
story with Morane.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
What I love about Adam selkielbat for shooter McGavin moving
forward Happy Gilmore two is gonna be a struggle for
that guy. I do think that something we lose a
lot in, not just sports, like life. You and I
always talk about it intent, like that's you and I
were talking off there about children cursing, Like if your
kid curses because they're being disrespectful or bullying another kid

(34:08):
or being mean, that's bad. But if your kids, you know,
stubs there telling they're like, oh sh you know, schnikys,
are you really gonna get that mad? Like everything's intent.
I think so many people forget intent. That's all dB
and know man, thank you now coming up we're gonna
go old school in fifty hits, turn away from sports
for a second to pay tribute to a guy that

(34:30):
everyone you know realizes, maybe more than they thought, was
a big part of their childhood, Val Kilmer, who passed
away at the age of sixty five. And we're gonna
talk about great music in movies, and of course some
more baseball, more NBA as we get closer to the
Western conferences. Tight tonight's a big one. Lakers Warriors, all
that coming up. Cavin on Rich Tires matter the only

(34:52):

He is mister mojo risin tap. You know who had

(35:54):
that mojo besides Jim Morrison, Val Kilmer. He was more
Jim Morrison him then Jim Morrison, and he looked more
like Jim Morrison. We're gonna talk about Val Kilimer in
a few minutes when we go old school. But let
me just give you a couple pieces of a couple
of pieces of advice. Why don't you give me a Yeah,
what are you gonna say? Number one? Don't look at

(36:17):
your four one K today, don't do that, didn't plan
on it?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Is it terrifying?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Good one.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
On your good That is.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
A great pun. I'll give him that one tariff.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
He still needs to play like your.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Eyes are Your eyes aren't deceiving Hopefully this is a
nice bounce back. I'm not your financial advisor, but there's
gonna coup a point where it's like a nice time
to dump into your mark, you know, into your funds,
like now money to be made. But hey, don't look
at your four one k, don't pitch to show hey,
o'tani when the game is tied in the last inning,
don't do that, and uh any other advice, Oh, can't

(36:54):
do it, don't doubt jokicch Moving forward, we saw the
great performance of the night Danny during the break. We
were talking about how effortless he looks, and we forget
it was only a couple of years ago the Nuggets
won the NBA title and we're not including them in
many of these conversations.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Yeah, I mentioned that one of the other things that
makes the greats, you know, elite, is in a lot
of them have this trait where it looks like they're
not even trying as hard as the other players, like
it's just in their blood. Like you think back to
the way Larry Bird just effortly used to shoot the ball.
Same with Jordan with the game winners, and show hey

(37:29):
the way he's up at the bat and he just
swings effortlessly, and you could say that the same.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Thing for the joker.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Brenda was watching that double overtime game with me the
other night, and when he hit that clutch three. The
way he shoots over his head especially there, looks like
he has no athleticism whatsoever, but the shots all go
in and the way he just the way, it looks
like he's just jokingly shooting the ball.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
And now the big debate is Shack or Jokic. That's
the big social media debate. But one last thing on
Otani then we'll go old school. I think a layer
of it is that while he isn't a guy you
hear much Trump because of the language barrier, we're not
hearing this guy do like charismatic pre and post game things.
How charming like this might be like all as the

(38:13):
kids would say, this is like top level riz. This
guy's the rizzler with his bow to every opposing manager. Like,
is there not something so charming when he has a
smile and he just does his little bow to the
opposing team, Like there's such a class charming likability. Otani
biggest superstar in sports today. He's outdoing himself, you know,

(38:35):
every date or something. It's crazy, a walk off on
your own bobblehead night Again. We're Covino and richlive from

look at the clock. Let's do it. There's a surgeon y.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
What we gonna do is go back back into time,
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty
hits at fifty after CNR give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah. I love it, little throwback action every Thursday. People
love reminiscing. People love the Old School because you're an
old fool, and you know what I was, Sam, You
inspired me. And I'll tell you why I wanted to
talk about movie music today because it's National Movie Score
Day and there's so many great songs and soundtracks that
make movies. We'll get to that. But at the end

(39:45):
of yesterday show I was Sam was like, man, it's
a bummer. We only spent like a minute on Can
I tell you what? So we only spent a minute
on a man that meant so much to us. I know,
you know, we had heartfelt conversation about the late great
Val Kilmer rest in Piece of sixty five. We're gonna
honor him on old School and fifty hits, think about

(40:09):
movies with the best music, scores and soundtrack. We're gonna
take your phone calls next. But I was talking to
Sam yesterday. Don't worry, Sam, I'm not gonna give any names.
Sam's like, man, I didn't realize you were such a
Val Kilmer guy, so cool that Cavino and Rich you
guys got to interview him. What was it like? He
meant so much to me? So Sam was really putting

(40:30):
his heart out there, like, man, I can go on
all day on how many movies I love from Val?
What's your favorite? And one of our colleagues long jumped
and leaped right into the middle of this conversation, and
he said, Covino, those torpedo bats. Am I right. You know.
Sam dismissed him with great authority and said, hey, man,

(40:51):
I'm trying to have a real serious conversation about Val Kilmer.
He goes, I swear to he goes not to be rude,
but this conversation kuwait, I'm talking to Cavino right now.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
And I was like, yeah, I was like, who was it?
Who wasn't underscore approaches? And he's like, hey, coveno about
them torpedo bats And I'm like, uh blank, we're talking
about you want.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
To get the guy and his handled. He handled his
grace so he wasn't. He was like, I'm sorry, he
was like offended or anything. He just like, you know,
he's like or whatever. But man, Sam gave him the
scram a Lemma ding doon. We're talking here like adults,
but talk was. It was wild to see. But I
didn't I didn't really, I don't know. I didn't know

(41:34):
what to think of it. But all right, we're gonna
give you the proper time right now. So Val Kilmer
movie music, A lot of fun. Next right here, Covino
