(00:24):
that your Adam Sandler? Happy Gilmore? I had pieces of
like you for breakfast? Cavino. Oh, yes, your pieces of
for breakfast. It's a happy Gilmore Friday. We're just happy
it's Friday. How about that? That's what I'm saying, Oino
and Rich. It's been a tough week, seriously, lots of
ups and downs, emotional roller coaster. This week all of

(00:44):
our heroes, our childhood heroes, take a major hit. So
let's enjoy the weekend the best we can. Enjoy some sports,
enjoy some games, Let's enjoy the show. Hey, brother, I'm
with you, brother, doing it live from the Fox Sports
Radio studio. Brother, and uh, you know, I was telling
my wife I said, with the passing of the hulkster
Ozzy Osbourne, Malcolm Jamal Warner, if you're a kid of

(01:06):
the eighties or nineties. A part of your childhood died
this week, and I don't think this could have lined
up better as far as Happy Gilmore too. We at
least today like we need some like like really good nostalgia.
We almost need this laugh tonight to be honest like
and it's the perfect time for this. You need to

(01:26):
be really light. I think that's what we're looking for.
Light laughers, light laughing. You need a little Shooter McGavin
and who, by the way, in my opinion, has done
the most to promote this movie. The best to promote
this movie. Dan Byer is a big golf guy. I'm
sure he's seen it. Did you see, my dude, Jeff
McNeil on the Mets did a whole bit golfing against

(01:47):
Shooter at City Field. I did not miss. It's worth
the watch. Yeah, Like at the end he makes Jeff
McNeil do an obstructed shot like happy and it goes
off like mister Mett's head of the dugout and everything.
It's great. This movie's been promoted wonderfully. Are Pal, Dan
Patrick and of course the Sandman, they're good friends. He's

(02:08):
I imagine a cameo in the movie from DP I'm
excited to watch it tonight, which is why I want
to lead with this question. Oh boy, let's hear it.
And by the way, we're gonna get to NBA with
his Lebron story. NFL. I saw the stat that yesterday
I didn't realize was the last Thursday until February without
some type of football. It's like forty one days until

(02:28):
the season. Yeah, Buddy, I want to say hello to
Danny g I know he's pumped for the weekend. Yeah,
happy you were Friday and Iowa Samuel on the buttons
and it's great to see dB. Spotty's on the videos.
The birthday boy, Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, spot Buddy.

(02:49):
It's his birthday weekend, more reason to celebrate. He's on
the videos at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
You could follow the live stream on Fox Sports Radio's
YouTube page. We'll be giving away prizes today. We'll give
you some weekend hob Nobyn. But what do you want
to start with, buddy, boy, Well, I want to apologize
the spot it. Then he goes playing We're gonna have
Iowa sam jump out of a cake yesterday in a speedo.

(03:10):
But it was a little crazy around here, so my apolicies.
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
We had the speedo, we just didn't have a cake.
Was that like underseiege? Yes, exactly like underseege.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
And I want to welcome Soto, not one Soto, the
other Soto to the New York Mets relief pitcher from
the Orioles. And I saw McMahon is now a Yankee.
As the trade deadline approaches, teams make better believe. I
went to the Baseball Reference so to see what that's
your Brownie's a Gregory Soto, the Mets lefty specialist now.

(03:40):
And then, of course you have a third basement. Are
you happy about this or what I mean? Anything's better
than Paraza? That guy stinks Little League's better than that guy.
And I say that respectfully because'm a Yankees fan. I
see that with love. But yeah, I had to do
the search, the research, the reference. I hit up my
guy Elias from the Sports Bureau. How's he doing? His
batting average is two seventeen? Is great, he says, hello,

(04:01):
But he's a two to seventeen batting average kind of guy,
so he's believe it or not, a step up. But
he also has sixteen home runs. And he's a lefty bat.
And it's not about the offense, it's about the defense.
The Yankees' biggest complaint is how terrible they are in
the field. There's like a gold glove there caliber third baseman,
So the Yankees in field to suspect. But I want

(04:24):
to get to my happy Gilmore lead today. But I
will say on the baseball tip, baseball's hot, baseball's back,
baseball is awesome. All that said, I saw a stat
just to show how it's such a home run game now,
such an extra base hit type of game. Small ball
is a thing of the past. There's not one team

(04:44):
in baseball right now that's batting over two sixty as
a team, and I believe it's the first season it's
ever happened. You saw the stats dwindling year by year,
but right now there's not one team in midjor League
baseball that has a team batting average that hits two sixty. Yeah,
it's weird. It's a different game, bro, it's a different game.
But I'll take that average any day over home runs.

(05:06):
That's the problem with guys like Anthony Volpi, a Rod
who I respect, have great respect for a ron as
a baseball expert and player. Yep, he's like, dude, I
will trade in all his home runs for a solid
two eighty batting average, maybe ten home runs and sixty
something RBIs. You got to get back to that because
you got to get on base. You can't rely on
dudes like vulpy Be hitting home runs all the time. Well,

(05:28):
it doesn't work that way. You need a little small ball.
Let the big sluggers, the big heads, the big guys.
Let them do the dirty work. Well, it is time.
Like you said on a Happy Gilmore Friday, Danny g oh, yeah,
before he entered the studio, I was happy to hear
that you and your lovely wife Brenda have the same
plan as my family does. Go home tonight, poor drink,

(05:52):
I don't know, papin edible, have a nice dinner, grill
up some murgers. Who knows. Hold on, Danny gen never
said anything about that.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, we got a two year old, were popping apple juice.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Okay, well, fair enough, do what you must. But you
said you were gonna watch Happy Gilmore. Yeah, the first
one as a little preview, a little four play, A
little refresher by the way, you know what I realized
It's been so long since I've seen Happy Gilmour, even
though I've seen it, We've all seen it one hundred times,
of course, but it's been a minute. You ever realized

(06:22):
that Will Sasso's in that movie? Because I saw clip recently,
I'm like, wait a second, is that Will Sasso? Probably TV?
I had to go to the IMDb from Mad TV.
He was the move one of the movies. He was
one of the movers. Like I don't know if it
ever really dawned on me or registered that were at
the time as Hell Day, Yeah, that was like Mad
TV is going on at that time, Like Will Sasso

(06:44):
was in it. I forgot all about that. He was
also in Beverly Hills Ninja. There was a lot of
stars maybe before their time as well, like Julie Bowen,
who I think is gorgeous and super talented Modern family.
She's in the second one, but that was a young
Julie Bowen. As was it Virginia Vennett. So I say,
watched the first one. It was Veronica Vaughn. It was
Vicky Valancourt. Did you know that right? That every girlfriend

(07:06):
in a Sandler movie is vv Vicky Vancourt. So soey,
that's Veronica mom vv so many two movies. Here's the
here's the question for the Fox Sports Radio Nation. I
get way deep. You know, this is the hard hitting
stuff Kavino Rich brings. You do you know one person

(07:28):
that doesn't plan on watching Happy Gilmore too? I can
only imagine Netflix my mom. She won't Hell no, she
won't want Okay, there's your answer. Yeah, but my mom
seventy one. My mom is seventy, and she will watch
She won that movie Happy Gilmour probably reminds my mom
of when her kids were not forty, when her kids
were twelve. My mom would never watch that. It's one

(07:49):
of those movies like, please, Mom, just watch it. This
is stupid. Yeah, she's one of those. So she didn't
watch the originally? Did just watch that stick? I'm not like,
I don't think she necessarily counts in this conversation.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, let's leave out seventy year old mom. Hold on,
if you if you ask your mom to watch this,
this is what she would say.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Gold jacket, green jacket?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Who gives it exactly? Yes, that's my Mom's the type
to say, why don't you watch something classic like Angels
with thirty faces. How about the mob Pi's Falgar? How
about something with James Cagney, like she'll want to take
it to that route? Come on, mom, how about Billy Madison?
How about Happy Gilmour? There's no way, but I gave

(08:31):
you the one. But I don't think that's like an
appropriate I still think that your rings truth. So eliminate
seventy year old moms from the conversation. You're in our
world now, Grandma, who watches what Turner movie classics? I
don't know watch do you know any let's just say
contemporary friend, coworker, guy in your softball team, guy in

(08:53):
your bowling team, the guy at the gym. Can you
imagine anyone saying yeah, I'll pass. I feel like this
is gonna be ni universally watched. There's gonna be critics
that are like, oh, it's staged, it's not as good
as the first one. Of course, that happens every time.
But I can't imagine someone on a Friday Saturday night
and the summer late night hits. You go in the house,

(09:13):
you know, laid down to go to bed, Like I said,
poor drink pop something. You don't think people everyone's gonna
watch this movie. It's definitely something like you said, we
need on this heavy hearted sort of weekend, we could
put your feet up, enjoy a cocktail. I just just
relax and have a good, cheap laugh. I feel like

(09:35):
it feels perfect. So even if you were on the
fence about it, I think it's a great idea. After
you're done with your team, after you're done on a
throwing out the trash, you put your feet up and enjoy.
After I watch the Mets beat the Giants tonight and
Dannie will like that.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Rich, What are you popping in there? Someone was a
little cans. What's that little can? It looks so it
was tiny in your hands over, I feel like a giant,
sim I'm a giant holding a beer can. Those little
Starbucks espress can. We know because you had one earlier
this week and we were worried about your mental state.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Let me tell you something. When you hold one of these,
that's how Andre the giant felt holding a beer can. Honestly,
I feel like a giant. You ever see that, Jim
Jefferies bit, I'm a giant. Kites like a giant. How
about you focus? You're all caffeine out of your going seriously,
you're talking about relaxing. This guy spinning in his chair
right now on the caffeine. I got two little kids
like you ever, I got to get them to bed

(10:25):
before I even think about But you realize you just
like a mile a minute, maybe even need that caffeine.
I know, like he just took his first sit meanwhile,
like he can't stop. This guy's bouncing around talking about
relaxing later. There's no relaxing with this dude. Relaxing. I
never seen relaxing way, Sam, you recorded me coming into
the studio. It's like absurd, a clouded dust behind him.

(10:48):
It really is. Well so, but don't let about your question. Yeah,
don't let my ramblings confuse you to answer your question.
The question is why I really like know anybody? How
about this? How about we make a statement instead of
asking a goofy question. You're a lame o and you're
not my friend. You're the type of person I don't
want to hang with, unless, of course you're my mom.
If you're not sitting back and enjoying a cheap laugh
tonight courtesy of Happy Gilmore. The Long Awaited Like it's

(11:12):
almost like the comeback of an old friend. You haven't
seen in a long time. You don't want to see
him and Shooter McGavin one more time. Come on, you're
a lame o if you're not watching now. Even a
guy that I respect that is quote not a movie guy.
I feel like Dan Bayer even throws this movie on.
Is that true. You're a golf guy, you're not a
movie guy. But I can imagine you'll throw this on you.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
You would think you would think geez, but instead tonight
me and my wife will sit back and be watching Casablanca.
The guy just like Hevino's mom, enjoying just some of
the classics, you know, because we're a.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Little more highbrow than everyone else. You know what my
mom's saying right now, I knew I love Dan Dyer.
That's why I like a classic like Casablanca. She's going
to send me a list of things that she recommends
to you. Okay, they've never seen this Cagney movie.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Right, I'll tell you what. I will watch it. There's
gonna be cameos from PGA tour players. I think that
it is a great way, especially not like this. This
is like a three day window because, as he said
last Thursday, without pro college football until the new year.
There's like, this is the opportunity. Now, schools are going
to be starting like in a couple of weeks, like

(12:25):
some start the first or second week of August. It's
crazy as it is, so there's going to be that.
So at some point I will check out. I don't
know if it'll be tonight, but yes, I will be
watching Happy Gilmore too well.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Dan Bayer. Today a big day in the golf cinema
world because it was on this day. I'm fun, fat guy.
You know this. In nineteen eighty Caddyshack came out on
this day. Yeah, just saw Yesso twty five years ago.
Today caddy Shack and today Gilmore Part two. Can't wait.
But here's the thing. I think everybody needs to check
their brain at the door. Don't expect the classic. These

(13:00):
aren't the type of movies that Rotten Potato gives one
hundred percent to. Right, you go there, sit down and
just enjoy for what it is. They can't They can't
steal our childhood type joy. Yeah, and it's not gonna
it's not about outdoing the first one. It's about recapturing
the nostalgia of the first one. It's just stupid fun.

(13:21):
I haven't seen it yet. I haven't heard a real
reaction yet from someone I respect. But I have seen
some clips. I saw bed Bunny and Travis Kelcey. I've
seen that floating around. Said, there's a lot of great cameos.
I don't want to give it away, but I have seen.
I'll just say a classic hip hop artist makes a
cameo that I was like, oh yeah, And I understand

(13:42):
the premise at least, and that's old news, right. I'm
not giving away the plot. And if I say that,
I'm pretty sure it's about happy Gilmour down on his
luck financially and he needs he needs to send I
think in the preview, which in the first ten seconds
he has to send his daughter to an overpriced like
ballet college or something. But I got no money, right, So.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
You guys want to take a quick guess at what
the critics are rating it versus the fans.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
It's gotta be low. I don't think there's ever been
a Sandler movie that was critically a collect Can I just.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Before we do that, can I say that I tried
to get through Hub Halloween, which was a Netflix Adam
Sandler movie and had a ton of cameos, just like
Happy Yim War two and that was a rough watch.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm gonna be honest, Halloween. It was a family tradition
for me. It was upon us.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
It was like, first twenty minutes was really funny, and
then I'm like, I can't do it. So he has
a bit of a history with Netflix movies, maybe not
doing so great, but I.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Am going to watch this. You know what. I believe
Dan Patrick's in that one. Yes he is, He's in
He's in that like room motatoria, right, you know what?
Can you know? And I think joked about that. We
loved it because it was so over the top ridiculous.
Kevin James, isn't that too hub Halloween?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, there's like every SNL cast member makes an ad pass.
You're like, it just got so ridiculous again, check your
brain at the door. My guest dannyg is that tomato meter.
The fans are given a popcorn meter.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I feel like the popcorn meter with the fans, you're
getting a pretty solid seventy eighty something percent. Wow, good
guess seventy four percent and rotten potatoes. The critics, who
I roll my eyes at give it like thirty one percent,
fifty eight percent. Oh yeah, passed your pat passing level.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
I guess almost there. You know someone's going to say
this was a double bogie for me. This just did
not just that's what.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
That's what.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Also an old movie critic, I think sounds like by
the way Dann Bayou said, the cameos from actual PGA
tour players, you saw that? And Stick another golf show
that I keep trying to pass on. You do. I'm
pushing Ohen Wilson and Mark Maron on you will save
that because speaking of Happy Gilmore and Stick and this weekend,
every Friday we get into weekend hobnobbing. So before the

(15:49):
end of the show, we'll give you other things you
need to watch so that you know what to talk about.
You know what's going on come Monday, because there's more
to life, believe it or not than Oh, Happy Gill.
Do you think that the cameo and the appearances from
Kelsey in this movie will what's the word ingratiate himself
more to the football and pop culture audiences, like, man,

(16:10):
this guy's just awesome. Like I saw a clip from
Drew Bledsoe, who I know you always feel bad for
do you know, I know, you feel like he got
the raw deal. People have to say Wally Pip, but
he got Brady Brady. Drew Bledsoe, Yeah, you know, Drew
Bledsoe was supposed to be Brett Farv and Something about Mary. Yes,
I did see that clip recently flowing around, like he

(16:31):
admitted that in an interviewed. Originally they wanted Steve Young,
but Steve Young because remember the movie Something About Mary
takes place in the Bay Area, and it was going
to be Steve Young, but he was like too much
of a good Mormon guy to be part of a
hard R comedy. They tried to go to Bledsoe and
Bloodsoe was trying to get his bad boy act together,
so he's like, ah, no thanks, and they went with Farv.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
What hell Brett Farv?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Did you know that Sea Bass kick his ass? Sea
Bass was supposed to be Roger Clemens. I didn't know
that was a hockey player up until like a year ago,
cam Neely. But that's another fun fact. Roger Clemens would
have been great. Can I tell you it's uh or
I think we could end the show right now and
you've already learned enough. Clemens was supposed to be Sea

(17:14):
Bass and Drew Bledse was supposed to be in something
about Mary good Night. Hey have a good weekend, everybody.
You've learned enough to have a great weekend later A well, Hudson.
There is a lot of stuff we're gonna get to
on Todays show. We're gonna have a lot of fun.
It's a Friday, a happy Gilmore Friday. We're gonna talk
some baseball trade deadlines coming up. And I think the
big question is if you know something bothers someone, isn't

(17:39):
that your invitation to just continue to bust their waves? Absolutely,
because there is an NBA superstar that didn't get this memo.
If something really bothered me, a nickname, a joke, or something,
do you realize that if I harped on it, you
guys would just make fun of it more. That's how
mocking people picking on someone bullying works. You find the

(18:00):
soft spot, you find the button, and you lean into it.
Like McFly, Biff knew that chicken. Oh got to McFly.
Nobody nobody calls me chicken.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Like once you find that hot spot, that hot butte
a bully or a friend who just wants to you know,
give it to you give you the business? Calls me chicken. Yeah,
you want to give him the business. If you realize
that it bothers them, you lean into it. So let's

(18:36):
just say six of who's giving them the business? Yeah,
you give him the business. And you know what, there's
an NBA superstar you might have heard of him, Lebron James,
who is making a foolish mistake by leaning into something.
We'll explain what that is. So is it a lay
move by Lebron or do you understand because he's trying
to sue AI? Yeah? Who is that? We'll get into

(18:58):
that on diverson what did he do? Yeah, bads of ball,
some football forty one days away and of course trade
deadline and baseball. So a lot of fun coming up
right here. Covin on Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Now,
we can't tell you enough about Travis Matthew. I'm we're
in the dands right now, seriously. Yeah. We are always
associated it with golf and Happy Gilmore and golfers, and

(19:19):
now it's for the casual fella and that would be us,
and we're rocking the jeans, the shirts. It's just the
quality of the clothing now that's real, big fan of
the hatty. She was always rocking those. I promise you
the show Stick on Apple TV is not paying me.
But they all wear Travis Matthew on the show. I
mean because it is a synonymous with golf, but now
it's more synonymous with quality. And if you're like quality clothing,

(19:42):
you work hard, you want to look nice. You're at
that stage of life like we are, where you don't
want to dress too young, but you don't wan to
dress like an old guy. You just want to dress nice.
You know, just be confident that Travis Matthew has you covered.
I know you. And I had to do some videos
for the show afterwards, so I said, you know what,
let me wear something nice. I put on the Travis
Matthew featherweight jeans. Even on a summer day. They're so

(20:02):
lightweight you don't even feel like you're wearing pants. I
feel pantsless right now. So the featherweight pants, the polo
shirts they got, the sneakers, the shoes, the T shirts
like they could be your only layer, that could be
your underneath layer. So dress it up if you want
all a Travis Matthew. And here's the deal going on,
right now if you visit the website Travis Matthew dot com,
you received twenty percent off your first order when you

(20:22):
sign up for the email. Oh yeah, Happy give More Friday.
On CNR Magic Pilot, I didn't know Pilot saying this
nineteen seventy four. Iowa Sam with the jam. By the way,

(20:43):
it's Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Iowa Sam,
Danny g Super Producing is always eight seven seven ninety

(21:04):
enjoy the show, enjoy the feedback. Hit us up at
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. So we're gonna
give away prizes Chipotle worker or w NBA player. We
got weekend hobnobbing. But this Lebron's story. We touched on
it briefly yesterday. Remember you can catch the podcast wherever
you stream your podcast. Covino and Rich. Lebron has this

(21:26):
video that's gone viral. There's several versions of pregnant Lebron.
Pregnant Lebron. So I don't know what version or image
or AI video you saw, but there's one famous It
came out like in a few days ago, but it
has gone viral to the point where it's like, well
that was weird. Lebron is pregnant, yeah, and he has

(21:46):
a baby and it's him and Curry's baby. Yeah, it's
gonna be a cycle plan.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
So Lebronj's like, ay, he's got pregnant belly and it
looks all real because its Ai and Steph Curry's there
and he's apparently the but the baby comes out and
has a full beard, and they're like, oh, why does
it look like James Harden and James Harden laughs like
Kawhi Leonard, which is weird.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
And he's like and they're like, oh, he had he
didn't have Curry's baby, he had Harden's baby. So then
all this pregnant Lebron thing started to snowball. Pregnant Lebron,
pregnant Lebron And I mentioned yesterday like I understand why
he wants to squash it, because you don't want anything
to be a Jordan cry face anytime you poke at legends.

(22:31):
I kinda don't like it because it takes away from
their legacy a little bit like, although crying Jordan is funny,
it really isn't for me, like respect the guy, do.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Not like combine Tom Brady. I think that's a little meified.
That's not even close to mimification level.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's true. That's like, crying Jordan is very insulting to
me because I'm like, yeah, that's a that's a goat.
You're picking on here, Like you gotta lay off a
little bit. But then again, Jordan is not Lebron right.
Ron has made a lot of questionable choices in his career.
He's still a goat. I'm not saying anything bad, but
the whole sentiment now is rich of all the things

(23:09):
and all the stories that Lebron could have came back
on or came out on. Why is it this one
that bothers him the most? Because apparently because of this
and the potential of this escalating and getting bigger, he's
suing a I Now that's weird in itself because it's like, well,
who's the mastermind behind AI one? Roboty?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
No, there is one specific company. It's called Interlink AI,
but it's not the only one. I guess it's the
company that he pinpointed, that's behind this wave of generated
deep fix.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
But when you do something like that, you're telling the
world that it bothers you. So what's going to happen now?
As a result, more and more pregnant lebron means guarantee,
such as life, because the minute someone knows your hot button,
if they really want to get your goat, grind, your goat, grind,
your gears, whatever, what the saying is, they're gonna lean

(24:01):
into that every time just to piss you off. That's
how life works. It's what guys, let's be honest. It's
the It's one of the one of the pillars of
just ball busting amongst guys like Cavino. We did a
show once and this is a name drop. We did
a show once from Henry Winkler's house. Oh Hi, the

(24:22):
Fawns Hi our first show in La Hi. Henry Winkler
goes when he come to my house and do the
show Wowie zowie, and he was for real. So we
actually went to the Fauns's house. And by the way,
if you remember, he did the same thing with Patrick Mahomes,
so we knew he meant it. Remember when he said
to Patrick Mahomes, oh my god, Oh my god, you
have a spot at my table anytime. He said that

(24:45):
to us, and we took him up on it, so
he means it. If he welcomed our stupid show to
his home, you know he'd welcome Mahomes anytime. So we
have a classic photo where Kavina's sitting at Henry Winkler's
table and he looks like what's the guy from a
Big Pussy Pest story from the Sopranos. Remember that guy
looked like Bobby Buckle. He looks like a he looks

(25:09):
like Cavino, a Cavino, but he has a the nero face,
like eh, well, he called me midshot. They took a
photo of me mid shot. I was eating a bagel
Henry Winkler presented like a whole little breakfast feast, and
I was eating. All of a sudden, Spotty goes hey smile,
and I turned around like, hey, I look like such
a slob in this photo. And the biggest mistake I

(25:30):
made was letting the world know that it bothered me
if he's never said anything. One of our listeners was
was like, man, what happened to Cavino? He's letting himself go.
And I'm like, and I got all defensive, like, wait
a second, hold on, hold on, this was a band photo.
I had a tough week, and sure enough that I

(25:53):
never lived it down. And I picture is still taped
to your fridge, still wants me because I let people know. Well,
that's the that's the whole point is thisnversation. If Cavino
hadn't said a thing, if I sit my coffee and
let everybody have a good laugh, no one would have
ever talked about that photo again. But because as these
are schoolyard antics, your buds, this goes back You're right,

(26:14):
it goes back to the school yard. If you made
fun of your buddy about something ridiculous, but for some
reason you saw that it really bothered him, that's what
you have one. That's what you do when you play
ball as a kid. Think about the bus trips in
high school sports or in the locker room. If one
of your buddies, if something stupid bothered him, a nickname, anything,

(26:35):
because guess what, if it doesn't bother him, you move
on to the next thing and it goes away. It's
almost something funny, it's almost something you need to teach
your kids. Hey, listen, kids, if something bothers you or
I'm taking by embracing.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
It's what makes this the and it takes the it
takes the effectiveness out of it.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's why this is lame, one of the lamer missteps
of Lebron James, because now the world knows that this
bothers him, bothers his image. For whatever reason he's suing.
Lebron James has bigger things to do.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
That part is true, But do you think this might
block that company from going next level with another edition
of Lebron AI videos. They got to see some reading here,
they got to cease and desist from his legal team,
so they're gonna think twice now. And the problem is
there's users on Twitter and other and I think Instagram

(27:29):
as well, who are still circulating this.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I think Lebron james focus should be on what he's
doing next season, how he's gonna win a championship, his
farewell tour, you know, his game, staying youthful. Because in
the past week we heard about him suing this AI
company because he's upset about pregnant Lebron And in my opinion,
this is a speculation allegedly the Jeff Teague story where

(27:53):
Jeff Teeks said he was usteroids. He backpedaled so hard.
I really do feel that he was threatened in some
way by Lebron James' legal team because he's like, nah, man,
I was just kidding. Why is he so sensitive all
of a sudden, he made it this long, finish out
your career, go out on top. Don't let the small
things bother you. Was the all saying, no sweat the
small stuff. Why is he sweating the small stuff? Don't

(28:14):
sweat the petty things, petty sweaty things. That's the sweaty things.
If you're watching right now, we are streaming this hour
live on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel. There's the
picture Covino de Niro right next to Henry Winkler. Even
Henry Winkler's laughing at me because I look like a
slov in that photo. My goodness, one. And do you
see his dog? His dog is in the photo. It's

(28:36):
like camouflaged in the photo. Well anyway, Fox Sports Radio
YouTube page if you want to check out. But again,
a misstep. You know why it was a misstep because
how long ago?

Speaker 6 (28:45):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Ten years now? Right? And that picture still haunts me
because I let the world know, and I'm a nobody
from Nowhereville, and I let the world know that it
bothered me, so it never goes away. You know what
else they did just upset me. There's a version of
that photo where they enlarged my head so it looks
even worse. I guess photoshopped, so it's not even real,
and people think it's real and they're like, dude, I

(29:07):
saw this picture of you, man, what is that? Man?
You lost a lot of weight. Your head was like
three times the side. I'm like, yeah, because that wasn't real, dude,
and you know it wants me. Lebron James let the
world in that he never wants to be a pregnant man.
So the lesson to be learned here on his legacy,
the lesson to be learned on Cavino Rich. If you
got little kids, apply this to yourself as well. If

(29:29):
something irritates you. By letting your buddies and family know
they're not gonna stop, all you're doing is telling them, oh,
here's what you could use from this point forward to
really get to me. A picture, a nickname, anything, and
you've seen it happen listen. It happened when you were

(29:50):
a kid. Some kid had a funny nickname. Stop calling
that is you just earned we're calling them bit bunk biga. Yeah,
you're bonk now because you got a big giant cup.
So when you called me that, stop it.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I can't run from Big Apple Sam, and I'm not
going to. But you know what, though, and it'll eventually
die out.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
That's fun, But it's fun. It's not like anything personal. Right,
It was me.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
It was me reacting in a text with Dan and
Jason and Doug reacting to Pete a Lonzo hitting a
home run against the Brewers, right, and I said, oh
my god, Paula Repete And then I started calling me
Big Apple Sam. But you like whatever, you laughed about it. Yeah,
if you At first I didn't like it. I still
don't kind of like it, but I'm not I don't
really care. But but if you were, like, gosh, really

(30:33):
irritates me. Guys, you're just disrespecting me. Here at where
you calling hr.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
You would only be Big Apple Sam. Yeah, you played
you played it off pretty good. It would spin wheels
in the mud. It would just you know, go nowhere.
So your thoughts is Lebron being a big baby, because
think about this. If he would have just laughed it off,
even reposted it and like, yo, get a load of this,
we would have moved past it and not have ever

(30:58):
thought of it again. And we're like, yeah, that's kind
of funny. But the fact that it bothers him, he
gave it oxygen. He gave it so much more oxygen.
You nailed it, Sam, And now the world forget about
this company. The world is gonna be sharing that left
and right because there's so many Lebron haters. And I'm
not saying you should be hating on Lebron. I'm just
saying it's gonna happen because of who he is. I

(31:18):
happen to like Lebron James. I just think he should
have let this one go, no doubt. All Right, Well, hey, listen,
we're gonna get to a bunch of other stuff. Trade deadline,
who's gonna make the big moves in baseball? We'll speculate
a little bit, and of course we are forty one
days away from the start of the NFL season. We'll
talk to some NFL we'll play a game, give away
some prizes, all coming up right, now we toss it

(31:39):
to Dan Bayer for an update. DV. What's up a buddy?
I will say not to pick out the scab.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Sam hates it when we say someone iowa Sam to
something by giving three nominations when we're going around the room,
Hold on, hold us bother.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, then I used it. I used it as a
joke a week or two ago, and you loved it.
I did, so I'm turning the tide on this one favorite.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Eighties TV show. I got four of them for you.
I got six written down here. I know we have
eighteen people on hold, but let me take half of there.
Let me give you my top ten. Le Yes, that's
content creation, all right? How week man.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
A bunch going on in the NFL. The Vikings are
going to be without wide receiver Justin Jefferson for a
little while, missing practice today and will through the weekend
because of a mild hamstring strain. Team says he'll be
re evaluated next week. Jets quarterback Justin Fields was on
the practice field today, good news for them, as yesterday
he had to leave because of a dislocated toe. Falcon

(32:36):
signed wide receiver DJ Chark to a deal. Well, the
NFL Network says Cowboys tackle Terrence Steele suffered a high
inkle sprain in practice, but we'll only miss a few days.
Leo Messi's gonna miss a match for Inner Miami after
he skipped the All Star Game earlier this week. Automatic
one game suspension, so he will not play against FC
Cincinnati tomorrow. In baseball, Brewers and Marlins tied up at

(32:59):
one is they head to the sixth inning in Milwaukee.
Brewers honoring American Family Field formerly known as Miller Park,
as it's the twenty fifth anniversary of that stadium. Yankees
acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Rockies for two
minor leaguers. Matt's acquired pitcher Gregory Soto from Baltimore for
two pitchers and Dodger shortstop Mookie Betts is in Nashville,

(33:20):
skipper Dave Roberts told reporters today that he'll rejoin the
team tomorrow as they play a series in Boston against
the Red Sox.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Guys. Back to you, yeah, dB, when you heard about
justin Field yesterday, w weren't you speculating like how bad
could it? Toby? Like what is the worst case scenario?
Hope A seetoe for a toe because I'm like the Jets,
like they give fields this opportunity, and my first thought was, like,
it seems like he's not going to miss much.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
Well, Adam Schefter did everybody dirty by saying that he
left with an apparent lower left leg injury, so we
all think the worst and Achilles injury, especially with the
Rogers stuff, and then when you find out what it was,
you're like, Okay. Then he found out it wasn't his
big toe, which actually could cause a problem if it was.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
As big that. It wasn't that that it was just minor.
Oh it was the piggy that went to the market. Yeah,
it was the pig that had roast. Oh he's fine. Good,
he'll be finding a week. He'll be finding a week.
Thank you, dB. We got more Covino and Rich at
next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, welcome back

(34:23):
Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio, the show that's sweeping
the nation. How do you like that? I made that up?
I know, by the way we're gonna be telling in.
By the way, is because they hired you to clean
up after the shows. Yeah, exactly, had you out. I'm
pulling double duty here. Yeah, sweet thing, I got a promotion. Guys,
you don't even know. Weeping the studios and we're also
filling in for Colin Cowherd on Thursday Friday next week.

(34:47):
Just make mental note of that. Covino and Rich live
from the Fox Sports Radio studio, and it's time for
our tire Rack play of the Day. The Mariners had
a day yesterday, and they acquired Josh Naylor and beat
the Angels pitch on.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
The way swinging a line shot deep down the left
field line. Has it enough? Yes, it is goodbye baseball.
A rocket line drive to run home run off the
bat of Randy A Rose Arena, and it's now the
Mariners three. The Angels won.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Oh one of the most dangerous postseason players rand in
recent time, Arose Arana. I love and hate Arose Arena
because well, he's a Yankee Killer, So I hate him
when he's against the Yankees because he's so good. But
I love him when he plays for Team Mexico. Remember
how he just lit up to the WBC. He's so good. Well,
Seattle went on to win four to two. Courtesy of
the Mariners Radio Network. That was the Tirak Play of

(35:41):
the Day. A lot of people think the Mariners might
be the second half team to make some noise in
the al. So pay attention to that. And for over
forty years, pay attention because Tyraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free, free road hazard protection, convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation hi I rack dot com

(36:02):
the way tire buying should be. So remember stick around
because we're giving away prizes next hour Chipotle worker or
w NBA player. It's our way of getting to know
some of the w NBA players, to familiarize ourselves with
some of the players, the big stars in the league,
and shout out one of our favorite spots, Chipotle. Even
though I like Cava nowadays, Bro, it's my spot. I

(36:22):
haven't been, never been. What is it like a Mediterranean Chipotle? Yeah,
it's very similar. Nobody knows.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
You guys are talking about Those two restaurants are down
Ventura Boulevard, right next to each other, and they're like,
what's Cava?

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yeah, but Cova is right there. There's a few of
them here. It's a big deal. It's more you're going
over to the right, so it's given away a swig.
It's kind of in the same vein as like, do
you start at the beginning, Yeah, and you tell them
what you want? Yeah, very similar. I like that kind
of food. Don't be sure check it out, hey, and
whatever you're munched on this weekend, enjoy some happy Gilmore

(36:55):
and later on we're going to tell you what else
you need to watch. I just had a dumb hypothetical
before we get into some baseball and football forty one
days away. You could just say hypothetical, you know what,
I could just say hypothetical. All my hypotheticals are pretty dopey.
Danny was telling me there's a video or some type
of proof that Steph Curry hit one hundred and five

(37:17):
three pointers in a row. Yeah, during one of his workouts.
That seems they taped it.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Absurd.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
That is insane, no trickery, one hundred and five threes
in a row from Curry in a warm up. And
when I saw that and we were talking to Danny
about it before the show, I was like, I don't
think there's anything I can do one hundred and five
times consecutively without messing up one hundred and five times
without any slim I can't do five layups. That's that

(37:45):
was my question. My question was, but if I told
you Kavino million dollars on the line, like you were
selected from the crowd at Staples right at Crypto, and
they said, all right, we're gonna give you one hundred
and five chances. Here's the basketball, a simple layup. Do
you think, even under the most intense pressuring conditions, you'd

(38:07):
miss one of those one hundred and five layups. I'm
talking you can just straight up take the ball right
up the backboard. Yeah, one of them. You'll get a
little gassed. Eventually, the pressure will get to you. One
hundred and five. That's that's tiresome. One hundred and five
layups by eighty something. You're like, all right, yeah, yeah,
I think you'll miss one. Man, could you take Sydney

(38:29):
Sweeney on one hundred and five dates.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
In a row.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Well, that's a nice way to clean up the original question,
Danny g Umm, because he said, I'm trying to think
of the The original question had to do with Sydney Sweeney.
Would you be up for the moment? And I was like, no,
I couldn't. That's how hard I think one hundred and
five times, anything of anything is to put it in perspective.

(38:52):
Do you think you can bowl one hundred and five
frames of bowling and guarantee that you want throw a
gutter ball? No? I think I can. I mean you
think you would? I think you'd wear out with that
as well. Do you think if we had a baseball
catch you would miss?

Speaker 6 (39:08):
What?

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Like?

Speaker 1 (39:08):
You would? You would catch one hundred? And The challenge
of the home run derby, right, isn't can they hit
home runs? Jas Chishom could hit home runs? He has
what eighteen nineteen, but in that moment he hit three? Right,
Because you got to be built for that. You gotta
be poised for that. It's the moment you gotta be.
You gotta be stor what I'm thinking of, I don't know.

(39:33):
But it's about inside your huge cabaseis Yeah, it's about
the pressure of the moment. Yeah, right, So are you
willing or able to do that?

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Well?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
When you talk about that pressure, that's why you see
a lot of people, oh, oh, I know what was
gonna say the home run derby. One of the challenges
is are you big and burly enough to power through
the exhaustion levels that it takes to continue and carry
on to the end of the competition. Like Chishom, I'm
not built that way, right, so he couldn't really hang.

(40:03):
You get tired doing that. Dude. Just hitting the batting
cages consecutively gets you tired. So that's where I was
going with that. I need a low center of gravity.
You really like you're underestimating one hundred and five. But
that's why I'm saying that. The fact that this is
true just shows you what a trained assassin on the
court insane. Steph Curry robot. I don't think this video

(40:26):
is brand new, but it just came out again. People
are reposting it to remind everybody he's making the rounds.
You know what this is making the rounds. Don't fall
for this. Over the weekend, you see that video where
someone asked their their wife asked, honey, would you rather
make out with me or the hottest girl in the
world for a million dollars? And the answer is, honey,
You're the hottest girl in the world.
