Episode Overview

Theme:
This episode dives into the spectacle of modern boxing, sparked by the announcement of an upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis slated for Netflix. The hosts debate whether boxing has "jumped the shark," moving from serious sport to entertainment circus, and examine the viability and appeal of such fights. They discuss the evolution of attraction in pop culture, celebrity antics, and audience fascination with freakish matchups. Listeners call in to weigh their thoughts on the matchup, spectacle sports, and even take a nostalgic detour through 90s booty culture.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Pop Culture’s Booty Evolution (03:43–06:08)

• The team opens with a playful debate: When did "booty" overtake "boobs" in American pop culture?
• Rich Davis asks: “When did we go from a society of men that shifted from what was up top to what was behind? Is it Sir Mix-a-Lot? Is it JLO and Shakira?” (04:13)
• Consensus points to the "Latin Explosion" era — JLo and Kim Kardashian solidifying the cultural shift, with shoutouts to Sir Mix-a-Lot, Destiny’s Child, and Bubba Sparxxx.

2. The Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis Fight Announcement (09:26–13:21)

• Steve Covino is exasperated by the upcoming Netflix fight: “When it broke...I’m not surprised. But my immediate reaction…we’ve jumped the shark. This is corny. I don’t get it. Jake Paul and Tank Davis have agreed to fight. This is just ridiculous.” (09:26)
• They set out the ‘tale of the tape’:
  • Jake Paul: 6’1”, ~200 lbs, 28 years old, 12-1 record.
  • Tank Davis: 5’5”, 133–135 lbs, 30 years old, 30-0-1 record.
• The absurdity centers on the size difference—height, weight, and natural weight class—making it a mismatch in traditional boxing logic.

3. “Has Boxing Jumped the Shark?” (12:16–27:14)

• The group splits over whether boxing’s embrace of such spectacle is a problem.
  • Danny G: “Did it jump the shark? No. But is boxing and the fight game finding new ways to intrigue young fans that love spectacles...?”
  • Rich Davis: “Of course I’ll watch this.”
• The spectacle’s appeal is compared to previous entertainments, like Love Island or the Tyson-Paul event—a guilty pleasure.
• Analogies abound, likening the matchup to “Tyson fighting a young Sugar Ray Leonard,” highlighting the mismatch.

Notable Quotes:

• Steve Covino: “It’s like Tyson fighting a guy who weighs 135 pounds. It’s stupid.” (13:06)
• Danny G: “You’re going to learn the answer to a question we’ve always wanted to know. Can a little guy...who’s the best...just get whooped because they’re so much bigger?” (14:02)

4. Realism vs. Fantasy: Will the Little Guy, Tank Davis, Stand a Chance? (15:24–18:40)

• Discussion about whether boxing’s “sweet science” can overcome sheer size.
  • Rich Davis: “Tank Davis has knockout power...he’s got great ring IQ...He could maybe outsmart Paul a little bit in the ring. If he packs a punch the way we know he can to the body, then Paul’s going to be feeling it.” (15:41)
  • Spot (the video guy): “If Jake Paul lands some body shots and hits him clean, it’s over. He’s too big, he’s too strong. But it really puts Tank Davis’s boxing skills...to the test here.” (19:02)

5. Viewer Interest and the Appeal of the ‘Circus’ (20:12–27:14)

• Despite skepticism, all admit they’re likely to watch.
  • Recollections of Tyson vs. Paul’s streaming issues and party anticipation.
  • Vegas betting odds: Tank Davis is a slight favorite at -180, despite size disadvantage.
• Danny G: “Anyone that says, ‘Another spectacle, who cares?’ — If you’re not intrigued a little bit...to see Jake Paul fight the best undefeated little guy in boxing does have intrigue.” (26:46)

6. Listener Calls: Fan Perspective (36:06–40:32)

• Caller Tyler: “Jake Paul’s cast himself as the perfect villain. He’s Ric Flair, he’s Gorgeous George. You want to see him get his face punched.”
• Caller Tony: “As a smaller guy, I’ve always wondered how a fight like this might go…I hope it doesn’t go that way, but if I had to put money down…it would be hard to bet on that guy [Tank]. The better big man’s always going to win.”
• Discussion about rooting for the underdog, with “short kings” wanting Tank Davis to represent.

7. Event Realism & Integrity (49:00–50:57)

• Ryan Garcia’s skeptical reaction (via Twitter):
  • “I strongly doubt this happens, even though it’s been announced. No way Gervonta accepts Jake Paul at 195 lbs...You gotta be delusional to think this is going to happen...Boxing is officially the WWE.” (49:19)
• Parallels repeatedly drawn to pro wrestling for its blend of sport and spectacle.

8. Final Thoughts (50:57–51:09)

• Covino (channeling the famous taco commercial): “Why not both? …Have your serious boxing match, and then also be entertained by Jake Paul and Tank Davis.”
• Rich, Covino, and Danny G admit the circus aspect feels “over the top ridiculous,” but they’ll still watch.

Summary

This laugh-filled, debate-driven episode peels back the evolution of both pop culture preferences and boxing’s current state, using the outlandish Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis fight as a lens. The hosts ponder whether the line between sports and entertainment has blurred beyond repair—and whether, deep down, everyone’s okay with that as long as it’s fun to watch. Despite the skepticism around spectacle boxing, the hosts and callers acknowledge it’s working. Even if it’s “dumb,” they’ll be tuning in. The question isn’t so much, “Has boxing jumped the shark?” as, “How far can it ride the wave of spectacle before it becomes the new norm?”

[Danny G]

Hey.

[Steve Covino]

And of course, Danny G Super producing at 87799 on Fox. We got spot getting ready for midweek. Major the biggest stories in sports and pop. We're going to turn your hump day into a hump night. But first, we be rocking out.

[Danny G]

I don't even know what that means. Hey, before we get into the NFL and is boxing jumping the shark, I have to ask as you we just say booty so my mind can't move on until I asked the hard hitting questions. When did we go from a society of men that shifted from what was up top to what was behind? Is it Sir Mix a lot? Is it JLO and Shakira? Is it, Is it Bootylicious? Destiny's Child? Like, when was the transition of every poster at Spencer's? Gift was like a girl with big boobs. And then it was like, nope, booty has taken over. Can you pinpoint a moment?

[Steve Covino]

It started rocking everywhere.

[Danny G]

Can you pinpoint a moment? Is it Bubba Sparks?

[Steve Covino]

It was the Latin Explosion. It was J. Lo. But then again, I did call 1-900-Mixon to kick those nasty thoughts.

[Danny G]

You did call that number quite a.

[Steve Covino]

Lot in the late 90s.

[Danny G]

My wife, my wife and I have discussed this because it was around the time where, you know, she was doing some modeling and stuff. There was a transition of like, all right, no one cared about your butt. Then it was like, hey, they want to see your butt now. Like, booty became a thing.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Looking back at early girlfriends, I don't even remember if they had a butt. Like, I wasn't even into that at the time. Maybe it's a little maturity. Right. It's cultural.

[Danny G]

Tell you that we've been missing out all along.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I credit the Latin Explosion. The J. Lo era of booty. That's really like when she played Selena. You can credit Selena. Anything for you. Selena's. When she played Selena too. You're like, bam.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And what was that movie Anaconda she was in? She's like, bam. Well, you started taking note.

[Danny G]

Your Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, let's say hi to Isaac Hahn. Maybe Cal Raleigh really sparked it to the next level.

[Danny G]

Cal Raleigh, maybe. So, Isaac Loincron, in your hard hitting research, when did men start focusing on the booty more?

[Isaac Loincron]

I'm literally doing that hard hitting research and I just got a ping from hr, by the way. But anyway, I would say it was around the mid-90s with Jennifer Lopez. And I feel that you are the sports talk radio equivalents guys of Plato and Aristotle to be raising such profound philosophical issues as this.

[Steve Covino]

I'll take it. And then the Kim. Kimmy cakes thing took over from JLo and the rest is history.

[Danny G]

Oh, man, Isaac's so nice that I most want to pull the audible I was going to pull. I may just put my back pocket because you know Isaac Loincron. Isaac Lohan Cron. I was gonna say. Is he Isaac Lowen? Fraud.

[Steve Covino]

Oh.

[Danny G]

I do owe him lunch. I'm not backing out, but I bumped into the table of beautiful women that he approached the other day.

[Steve Covino]

Isaac Lohan Kahn, because he's a big con artist.

[Danny G]

I saw the girls that he approached the other day outside, and I said, ladies, you know the other day when our friend approached you, he earned free lunch by coming up to you. And you know what they said to me? Oh, we know. He told us it was a dare. If you tell the person it's a dare, does that eliminate the whole point?

[Isaac Loincron]

Guilty as charged.

[Danny G]

And I have no shame.

[Steve Covino]

Is low on crime.

[Danny G]

No shame.

[Steve Covino]

Disqualified if you missed the show on Monday.

[Isaac Loincron]

Don't hate the player, guys. Hate the game.

[Danny G]

You still earned your lunch. There was no rules set in place, so you earned it.

[Steve Covino]

But there was like a gaggle of women eating lunch right outside of our building, right in our viewing space where we have our meeting.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And Rich, you know, in a friendly dare, said to Loinchron, if you go out there and say, hey, ladies, what's the tea? He said, if you go up to those women and pull up a chair, I'll buy you lunch for the rest of the week. Lohan Cron, without hesitation, marched right outside, grabbed the chair, went right up to the ladies. We didn't know what he said, but we saw the whole thing. We found out today that he told them that he was dared. Is that qualification or not?

[Danny G]

It's like telling your buddy, hey, I'll buy you a shot and a beer at the bar back in your 20s, yo, go approach that girl and I'll buy your next two drinks. I dare you. You can't go up to the girl and be like, hey, I'm approaching you.

[Steve Covino]

Because my buddy dared me. So the ladies did say it was funny, but they did call you out loinchron. They said that you confessed that it was, in fact a dare.

[Isaac Loincron]

I have no regrets. I do it again. And actually, I've done something like that before. No regrets, no shame here.

[Steve Covino]

Anything for free food. Lowen.

[Danny G]

Cry Lowen.

[Steve Covino]

Con man. Exactly.

[Danny G]

But they did say they ended by saying nothing turns them on more than a middle age update anchor.

[Isaac Loincron]

They were obviously talking about Desager. Yes, and his unpredictable, unbridled sexuality.

[Danny G]

That is true.

[Steve Covino]

No, they said, who will do anything for a free lunch? So I think they were talking about you. So that's low and cron. We got the scoop. Those ladies were sitting out there again. Maybe they got the hots.

[Danny G]

Maybe they just. Maybe they. Maybe they see Danny G. Strutting him with his Raiders and Lakers gear every day.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, maybe they saw Iowa Salmon. They're like, ooh. Because they've been sitting out there all week. But anyway, that's the update there. So we have lots to get to aside from booties and low incon and midweek major and more. There's a story that broke today, and when it broke, I'm like, well, I heard those rumors for a long time. I'm not surprised. But my immediate reaction, even as a fan, was, oh, man, this is dumb. We've jumped the shark. It's official. This is corny. I don't like it. I don't get it. And I'm talking about the November 14th fight on Netflix. Apparently, Jake Paul and Tank Davis have agreed to fight. And this is just ridiculous. I'll tell you why.

[Danny G]

It's right out of the Jake Paul playbook. He decides to fight the most beloved legend when he's 57. At the time, Mike Tyson. And that broke Netflix sports records. It was a big deal. Remember, everyone's Netflix was freezing up because so many people were watching. It was worth it for Netflix. It was worth it for Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. But now you go from heavyweight legend to, you could argue, you know, 30 years, 20 years past his prime. Now you're fighting the pound for pound, best boxer in the game, but he's Also a guy that's half your size.

[Steve Covino]

All right, so let me give you the tale of the tape to really help you understand what's going on here. If this happens, and it seems to be official, I'll tell you straight up. The question is, has boxing jumped the shark, or are you really interested? Has boxing turned into WWE right before our eyes, or is this entertainment November 14th on Netflix. Here's the reach. Tank Davis, 67 inches to Jake Paul's 76 inches. Now, Tank Davis is only 30 years old, but he's already talking about retirement just on that.

[Danny G]

Almost a foot difference in reach.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, I know. Jake Paul, 28. So 30 and 28, their records. Tank Davis, 30. Oh, and 1. Jake Paul's professional fighting record is 12 and 1. So, you know, Tank has a resume for sure. But here's where you're like, oh, yeah, that's ridiculous. Here's the height difference. Tank Davis is five foot five and Jake Paul is six foot one. And even worse, here's the weight difference. Tank Davis made his name in the 130, 135 division. 135 especially. He's fighting at. Well, his last weigh in, 133.8. Jake Paul weighs 199 to 200 plus. On a good day, that guy's well over 200 pounds heavyweight. He should be fighting Anthony Joshua. If he's gonna fight any sort of guy on the downward trajectory of their career, he's fighting a guy who's significantly, significantly smaller. Yeah, with a lot of experience. I get it. Tank Davis, pound for pound, he's one of the best. But can he hang with a big, strong, young boxer? He's not a YouTube guy anymore by the name of Jake Paul. I think this is sort of dumb. However, rich, I got to admit, even though I feel like this is dumb, I would absolutely watch. So I know that makes no sense, but I find this to be stupid.

[Danny G]

Then you answered your own question. Did it jump the shark? No. But is boxing and the fight game finding new ways to intrigue young fans that love spectacles, that love YouTube and TikTok?

[Steve Covino]

And I'm only saying that because I'm being honest, but I think it's dumb. But, yeah, of course I'll watch.

[Danny G]

No offense. When we do weekend Hobnob, I watch Love Island.

[Steve Covino]

Of course I'll watch this.

[Danny G]

But I'm saying you're the guy that's, like, on a Friday, we'll alert everyone, like, hey, guys, if you want to watch Saturday and you start naming boxers that, I mean, I know the names because I follow boxing, but for the most part, no one cares.

[Steve Covino]

Go ahead. Rich always gives two examples. And you always say, you always bring.

[Danny G]

Up like Chocolatito Lopez.

[Steve Covino]

Rich always says, I don't know who Chuck Latito is. You're always talking about better bf. I'm like, these are great fighters.

[Danny G]

I know.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, they never fight each other, but that would be like, better be a fighting Chocolatito.

[Danny G]

But I'll say this.

[Steve Covino]

It's like Tyson fighting a young Sugar Ray Leonard. Even smaller, probably. It's stupid. It's. It's a heavyweight fighting a guy who weighs 135 pounds.

[Danny G]

I have a question. Last year, oddly enough, this might shock you. Kivino and I hang out socially outside of here.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Most radio shows hate each other.

[Danny G]

We actually enjoy and tolerate each other's company. We been friends for 20 years. Last year we went with some of our friends, rented a beach house in Miami, went to a Dolphins game, rented a boat. Like, we had like a nice bros weekend and it lined up with the Tyson Jake Paul fight. And I can't tell you how much of a great part of our weekend with our buddies that was the anticipation of Jake Paul, Mike Tyson. While we all had this stupid illusion, though maybe Mike Tyson can hang and he couldn't, it was still fun. I think the fact that we're rolling it back and running it back in November with just another guy and Jake Paul Netflix, you'll be buffering, hoping that it works. You're going to learn the answer to a question we've always wanted to know. Can a little guy. That's the best. Because you see these guys when Manny Pac Man Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jr are seeming unbeatable in the 2000s, you always wonder like heck, like a mediocre big guy just whoop their ass because they're so much bigger.

[Steve Covino]

No, that's why there's a pound for pound, because you'll never see that. And you have to factor in that these guys are significantly smaller.

[Danny G]

But we've interviewed all these boxers. Danny G. I'm not saying I'm a big guy, but I'm relatively close to Jake Paul. Size. Jake Paul is 6:1,200 pounds. That's sort of like my measurements pretty. I'm pretty much that.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but everybody carries weight different. Isn't Donald Trump 215? Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You also have some dumb videos on YouTube also.

[Danny G]

That is true. But I'm not saying I'm ripped like Jake Paul. I'm just saying I'm a, I'm a six foot guy, that's 190 something. I've interviewed little boxers that feel so small standing next to me, but I know he would whoop my ass.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but you're not a fighter, Jake Paul is a fighter. Now we're discrediting.

[Danny G]

But you don't think this is the ultimate. Oh, I do want to see what happens. I do want to see what happens when Javante Tank Davis, who's known as a guy that's never lost, he's freaking awesome in the ring, a great fighter.

[Rich Davis]

He has knockout power. We saw him live in Vegas, remember Covino? We weren't far from the ring and the sound of him hitting the opponent stood out to us.

[Danny G]

But Danny, why not run it bank.

[Steve Covino]

With Lamont Roach who deserves the rematch. That's who he got the draw against. I know, but Danny instead, he wants to have this circus fight for the, for the bag.

[Danny G]

And I get it.

[Steve Covino]

He had whispered about retirement and announced retirement because he's done with the sport.

[Danny G]

You know what I mean?

[Steve Covino]

Fed up and it's corrupt and he doesn't like the, the sport and where it's headed.

[Danny G]

The same reason I loved when we were in Vegas a handful of years ago and you and I saw the excitement and were very interested in Conor McGregor. Floyd Mayweather Jr. It's that element of at least they're the same side. It's an element of like, holy shit, crap, what's going to happen? And Danny G, I love the fact that we both came in here today. Danny G rolls up, puts down his bag and he's like, man, Gervonta is going to whoop his ass. And Camino's like, no way, Jake. Paul is so much bigger. The fact that you guys disagree is why I want to watch this so much.

[Steve Covino]

Danny G, you said Tank Davis packs a punch. You really think he'll win this fight if they go at it for real?

[Rich Davis]

Just the eye test and now I've not seen Paul in person, but we've seen Tank twice.

[Steve Covino]

True. He has pop.

[Rich Davis]

He's got pop and he's got great ring ey iq. You've always heard that about him.

[Steve Covino]

Great timing, great counter puncher.

[Rich Davis]

I think he could maybe outsmart Paul a little bit in the ring and if he gets some solid even, okay, there's a height difference obviously, so go to the body. If he packs a punch the way we know he can to the body, then Paul's going to be feeling it.

[Steve Covino]

All right, well, your calls. 8, 7, 799 on Fox Jump the Shark. Still going to watch your thoughts on this fight. Here's what I'm thinking too though. I don't think there's any way possible. I don't know the technical rules here, but there's no way this could be a sanctioned fight. We got a lightweight fighter at 135, who knows what he's going to weigh in at. There's got to be a catch weight of sorts, right, that I haven't heard. So maybe there's some sort of Jake Paul can't be over £200 and tank's going to show up, you know, in the 150s or something. He's a small guy. Hey buddy, this can't be a sanctioned fight.

[Danny G]

You don't need to be Max Kellerman, Mario Lopez, Jim Lampley, Al Bernie Bernstein to have an opinion because we know these guys like hey, spot our video guy, Isaac Loincron, I was Sam, you know, both these guys. Is your instinct Tank Davis, an undefeated 130 pound guy versus Jake Paul, who's over six foot. Do you have an instinct like big guy wins or. No, the guy that's a professional boxer wins.

[Steve Covino]

Danny G says Tank. I, Steve Cavino, say if this is a real fight and I'm not trying to discredit Jake Paul, but if it's not sanctioned, who knows? This could be a glorified sparring match. I don't know what they have planned out spot unsanctioned. I think Jake Paul annihilates him. He's big, he's strong and he's a boxer.

[Danny G]

You've been to 25 fights with us, at least in Vegas over the years. What is your instinct? Jake Paul, 6 1, 200 pounds, tiny little tank Davis. But Tank Davis is also the pound for pound best fighter in boxing according to some.

[Steve Covino]

I mean you can't discredit Jake Paul. Like you said, he's no longer a YouTube star. He's put in a little bit of work.

[Danny G]

He's a ranked boxer.

[Steve Covino]

He's a ranked boxer.

[Danny G]

He's had some fights.

[Steve Covino]

Granted they haven't all been incredibly legit fights, meaning like who his opponents are. But at the same time you always talk about, especially Covino, how the sweet science of boxing and this is a person who has dedicated their life, meaning Tank Davis, to the sweet science of boxing. So in that alone I may give the edge to that. But if you're going, you know, based on size alone and you know, the little bit of experience that Jake Paul does have, it's very possible that he could edge out Tank Davis. That's a great point. I give props to Spot on that one. If there's a chance is Tank Davis giving an absolute masterclass in boxing. Stick and move, hit and move. Box the hell out of him, run. Use the ring to his advantage. Not giving Jake Paul a chance. But if Jake Paul lands some body shots and hits him clean, it's over. He's too big, he's too strong. But it really puts Javonte Davis's boxing skills like Spot said, his sweet science to the test here. So we'll see unfortunately, because there's so many other great fights that you want to see.

[Danny G]

Yes, fortunately.

[Steve Covino]

November 14th on Netflix.

[Danny G]

It's a Friday night.

[Rich Davis]

We're all going to watch Atlanta. The crowd is going to beep.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, do we head there? Do we go? I think we should. Oh man.

[Danny G]

Could I, could I. Oh wait.

[Steve Covino]

We're gonna be. That's in Arizona.

[Danny G]

Yeah, we're doing. That's a weekend of like that's our bros weekend again.

[Steve Covino]

Oh we're having. We're having bro time. That sucks for you guys. Spotty, we're gonna go you guys a lot guys.

[Danny G]

So you know how sometimes when we talk about football point spreads on the weekend and a lot of times I'll one of my strategies because I do love wagering like everyone else, I like to look at the games without a point spread before I look. Because then if my instincts so different than what Vegas is saying then I like that bed. But there are times where you like no Ravens against Bengals at home. It'll probably be like minus three and a half. Like sometimes you're right on the money. I'm glad we discussed this before we looked up the odds. What do you think Vegas says? Because that is not something they put zero thought into. The Vegas odds are, trust me. When millions and billions and billions of dollars are possibly on the line. Vegas odds usually dictate what the public is thinking. Who is the favorite? Because I know the answer. Jake Paul, Tank Davis.

[Steve Covino]

Get out of my face.

[Danny G]

Tank Davis is currently minus 180. It's not a big favorite. Meaning you would have to bet $180 to win 100. Jake Paul is plus 140. You bet 100 to win 140.

[Steve Covino]

So Pitbull Cruz went 12 rounds with Tank Davis. Pitbull Cruz is five foot one.

[Danny G]

Well, I'm telling you buddy boy, that.

[Steve Covino]

Jake Paul six foot one short day. He's a big dude.

[Danny G]

Go get your ass to circa or betmgm or, you know, go on DraftKings. Do whatever you need to do. Because if you think Jake Paul is just gonna whoop his ass, then Jake Paul's the underdog.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, I'm not the guy who thinks Jake Paul's up to shenanigans. I've never claimed that they're fixes. I never claim that, oh, he's rigged. I've never been that guy.

[Danny G]

You better not. He'll sue you like that.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, no, no. And that's not even why I'm saying that. I'm just saying I'm not the naysaying Jake Paul Hayton kind of guy. I'm just making that clear. But if this isn't a sanctioned fight, and I don't know how it could be because of the height and weight disparities here, then anything I think is a possibility. So I don't know what Vegas knows. 877-99-FOX at Covino and Rich. Has boxing turned into WWE? Is that a good thing, in your opinion? Does that bring more excitement to boxing?

[Danny G]

Well.

[Steve Covino]

Or has boxing jumped the Henry Winkler, Fonzie Shark?

[Danny G]

Let me say this. There's other factors. And I'm again, I'm not Harold Letterman with the unofficial scorecard. I'm not your boxing expert.

[Steve Covino]

Rest in peace.

[Danny G]

Rest in peace.

[Steve Covino]

Back to you, Jim.

[Danny G]

There. There are factors that we don't, you know, we haven't read up enough or they're not out yet. Like what size gloves, how many rounds, how many, how much time in each round. Like, there are factors that will sway you towards one of these fighters. Like, remember the Mike Tyson fight, there were shorter rounds, less rounds. The size of the boxing gloves matters because, listen.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, for the record, too, you know, we talked about the quickness, advantage that a tank would have in his boxing abilities. His swiftness, his quickness. He does pack a punch. Like Danny G referenced. He is 31 and, oh, one draw, 28 wins by knockout. So, yeah, I guess you can't underestimate that type of power. But Jake Paul's also used to being hit by bigger guys, stronger fighters. So as far as intrigue, CC Very intrigued. I get it. There's interest there, but it just feels dumb, you know what I mean?

[Danny G]

Like, now, Jake Paul again, six one, 200 pounds. Javante, Tank Davis, five five, 135. You know, when you go to Dave and Buster's or a bar, they'll have that little hanging punching bag you punch and see how hard your punch is.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, most fighters usually around 8:60 to 9.

[Danny G]

Those machine, the silly, like, you know.

[Steve Covino]

Machines of hurting yourself doing that.

[Danny G]

Of course. It's like when you, when you try to see how fast you can throw a baseball without warming up and you're like, oh, my arm.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah. Shoulder comes out.

[Rich Davis]

Break a bracelet.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Like you did. Kavino broke a watch and a bracelet.

[Steve Covino]

At the All Star Game doing a fast pitch. That's how much heat I was throwing. I mean, it sizzled off my arm.

[Danny G]

For the novices, for the people that don't know as much as you, because Camino does know a lot about boxing.

[Steve Covino]

Nah, man, I'm no Mario Lopez. Is that what you said?

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, Jim.

[Danny G]

Okay, Jim.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, Jim. So we got a really tiny guy.

[Danny G]

Here by the name of Tank Davis.

[Steve Covino]

And a guy who's big and strong who used to fight on YouTube, but he's a legitimate fighter. I think it's going to be a clear win for Jake Paul. Back to you, Jim.

[Danny G]

Thank you, light grade Harold Letterman. Okay, Jim, now let me ask you Kov. If you were to put Jake Paul and Tank Davis and instead of that little, you know, Dave and Buster's game, if they punched you with a body, with a bodysuit on and you had, you had the gloves on, you had the punching gloves.

[Steve Covino]

I'd much rather take the punch from Gervonta Davis. You think he's the size. He's the same size as my girlfriend. Give me a break.

[Danny G]

Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Then Jake Paul, he's a 200 pound strong.

[Danny G]

When you put.

[Steve Covino]

He's knocked out professional fighters, bro, it.

[Danny G]

Sounds ridiculous, but when you put it in perspective, your girlfriend is five foot four. Could be 5, 5, 130 pounds.

[Steve Covino]

She's five six with heels on.

[Danny G]

That's the size of like your, your girlfriend.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Danny G]

Where Jake Paul is 6 1, 200 pounds.

[Rich Davis]

She's not built like Tank, though.

[Steve Covino]

He's tiny. Some women are. One I weighed in sixth grade.

[Rich Davis]

His punches were echoing in the arena.

[Steve Covino]

I get that because he's fighting other little dudes. 135. When was the last time he weighed 135 pounds? 8th grade. 6th grade. That's how small he is.

[Rich Davis]

You're, you're underestimating the power of his punch.

[Steve Covino]

I absolutely, definitely are.

[Danny G]

No, I guess Vegas has him as a favorite. So clearly Vegas is leaning towards pound for pound, smaller guy.

[Steve Covino]

Got to see the catch tent beats because I want to see like what weight or what's the limit for Jake Paul here. So that's the news today. That's the update.

[Danny G]

I also think you're full of it. And not you, Kavina. I'm saying, anyone that says another spectacle, who cares if you're not intrigued a little bit. Again, Jake Paul. Props to you, my friend. You know why? Because just when I'm like, do I care about Jake Paul anymore? To see Jake Paul fight the best undefeated little guy in boxing does have intrigue. Son of a gun goddess again.

[Steve Covino]

Damn you, Jake Paul, the Bronze Bomber man. No, not this tiny Gervonta Davis, man.

[Danny G]

You know, it's like Jake Paul's, like, really?

[Steve Covino]

A better fight would be against Rich Davis than Gervonta Davis.

[Danny G]

Dude, let me tell you, Jake Paul is like the Ringling Brothers in Barnum and Belly Circus. When I was a kid, every year they came back with, like, a new special attraction in the center ring, and you're like, how are they gonna outdo it? Son of a gun goddess again. Remember the year they told you there was a unicorn? It was just a horse with a horn stapled to it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Now, if I really was a man of honor, I would say I'm not even gonna watch it.

[Danny G]

Get out of here.

[Steve Covino]

But of course I'm gonna watch it. But it is dumb. 87799.

[Danny G]

Watch it with a bowl of popcorn and a drink in your hand, watching.

[Steve Covino]

You guys in Arizona. 87799 on Fox. We go to your thoughts. Next is Covino and Rich on a national radio Day, and no one even wished me one. I didn't get a card from you, from my dentist. No Edible Arrangement, no balloon, no nothing. So I'm gonna celebrate all by myself. Happy national radio Day. To me. From me. To me.

[Danny G]

Oh, all right. We got more Camino and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

[Danny G]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

[Caller]

Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass.

[Danny G]

The injured were being loaded into ambulances. Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.

[Narrator (Law and Criminal Justice System)]

In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. And it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

[Danny G]

Attention, passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[Manny]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.

[Steve Covino]

And they're saying, like, okay, pull this.

[Manny]

Until this, pull that.

[Danny G]

Turn this.

[Manny]

I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.

[Danny G]

You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far as I'm concerned, the best I've seen that.

[John Lithgow]

That's the story you think you know. This is the story.

[Danny Shapiro]

You don't predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, and these are just a few of the profound and powerful stories I'll be mining on our 12th season of Family Secrets. With over 37 million downloads, we continue to be moved and inspired by our guests and their courageously told stories. I can't wait to share 10 powerful new episodes with you.

I hope you'll join me and my extraordinary guests for this new season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets, Season 12 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Steve Covino]

Mama said knock you out. We can even play. I can't live without my radio. Radio. Because it's National Radio Day. Covino and Rich and Danny G and Sam and Spy, all of us dedicated our lives and careers to radio. That's how much we love it. So happy National Radio Day to us. Thanks for celebrating with us, Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And we're gonna do midweek major today. The biggest headlines in sports and pop culture are they midweek and major and giving away prizes. Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. Stick around for that.

[Danny G]

You know, they always say radio is the most intimate medium out there.

[Steve Covino]

Right in your ears right there.

[Danny G]

Yeah. So, I mean, hi, keep your pants on. But they're saying a lot of times you watch a movie, you'll watch a show that's streaming or tv. You're usually with friends or family or other people. Radio and podcasting, a lot of times you're rolling solo, so there's a, a connection there.

[Steve Covino]

It's just me and you. Thank you for listening, guys. Appreciate it. So we love what we do. Happy to be here. We have lots to get to, but we're getting to your feedback now on this ridiculous circus fight. Jake Paul versus Tank Davis. Tank Davis, who built his name in the super featherweight division. Like 130 tiny guys, five foot five. Yeah, he packs a punch for his weight. Division. Like I was explaining before, that's what we have, punch. That's why we have a pound for pound stats.

[Danny G]

Not to sound sexist.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

130 is like a. Like an in shape woman's weight. Yeah. What guy weighs 130?

[Steve Covino]

I was reading, like, do you know a guy?

[Danny G]

Name it. Do you know a guy? Does anyone here know a grown man that's £130?

[Steve Covino]

A grown up.

[Danny G]

Like a grown up. I mean, I think I was. Wrestlers have the.

[Steve Covino]

I think they get down to 130 wrestlers.

[Danny G]

I'm saying like a tiny muscle. I would say 130 pounds of muscle.

[Steve Covino]

Is a lot of. I would say.

[Danny G]

How tall are you, big guy? What are you, like 5:10? 5:11?

[Steve Covino]

5, 5:10?

[Danny G]

Yeah. 5:10? What are you, 5:10? £180, £190? Like you think I'm 180.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you. Hey, oh, by the way, if you don't have 180, wild. Tank Davis is a small guy for his weight class, let alone fighting a real strong big man like Jake Paul. Young man like Jake Paul. So it's supposed to be happening November 14th on Netflix. I'm saying it's ridiculous, yet I'll watch. Rich is saying it's awesome. Danny G says, yo, I believe what Vegas is saying. Tank Davis is going to win this fight. And now we go to you at 877-99-FOX.

[Danny G]

Tyler, let's go to you in Ohio. What's up, buddy?

[Caller]

I just wanted to say he's asked himself as the perfect villain. He's Ric Flair. He's gorgeous. George. You want to see him get his face punched? That's why everybody watched him and Tyson.

[Danny G]

Because everyone had this delusion that, oh, man, maybe Mike Tyson could land a punch. And we all fell for the stupidity. I lost a couple hundred bucks. I'm the ass clown. That's like, I think Tyson could do it.

[Steve Covino]

I don't even remember what happened.

[Danny G]

And yeah, Tyson came on our show and goes, I forget.

[Steve Covino]

He forgot about it. He started bowing to me.

[Danny G]

There's a definite layer of this where it's like, of course, like, now everyone's like, it's about time he fights a real fighter. But then now the caveats. Yeah, it's a real fighter. An undefeated champion. But an undefeated champion that's half his size.

[Steve Covino]

I will say I applaud him for making these circus fights happen. He does the impossible. Because for years, like Rich alluded to earlier, we always wondered what it would be like if Muhammad Ali fought a tiny guy. If Ali fought a Pacquiao, right? Hey man, what do you think? You think Mayweather could fight a Klitschko? Who would win? He's actually making the impossible happen. I give him all the credit in the world for that. But it is ridiculous. I think Jake Paul, if it's a legitimate fight, even though I think it'll probably be unsanctioned, I think he destroys Tank Davis.

[Danny G]

Who do we got next, by the way? I just got to throw this out here. I looked it up. You know Jake Paul's beautiful girlfriend? Is it Judah or Judah Leerman? She's the speed skater. Yeah, the Olympian, hot blonde from. She's Dutch. The dude's dating a woman who's 5 11. His girlfriend is 6 inches taller than the man he's about to fight. There is a big differential here.

[Steve Covino]

And that's Tank Davis wearing height increasing boots.

[Danny G]

Let's say hi to Tony. Tony in Oregon. What's up, man?

[Caller]

Hey, Tony, thanks for taking the call. Hey, I have a second take on the large booty movement. But first, like a boxing fan, all my life as a smaller guy, I've always kind of like wondered, you know, how a fight like this might go. I really feel like if Paul's like, if he's, if Tank's kind of getting the better of Paul, all he has to do do is just like cover up and just kind of, you know, run the clock. And I really don't think there's anything else that's going to happen. I hope it doesn't go that way.

[Danny G]

Tony, you said as a, you said as a boxing fan who's a, you know, a shorter guy, you know how a lot of guys, a lot of times we'll root for the older guy to do well because it's like as we're all getting older, this for short kings like you, Tony, you better be rooting for Tank Davis to show that just because the guy is smaller, he could still pack a punch. I think people are going to be rooting for Tank Davis for sure.

[Caller]

I agree, I will be rooting for Tank, but I mean, in reality, and if I had to put money down, it would be hard to, you know, bet on that guy because, you know, like it's always been said the best, better big man's always going to win. Hey, on the big booty movement, you guys remember, see, I graduated In June of 92 and August of 92, this thing hit MTV.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, he's got that rump shaker.

[Danny G]

Rump shaker. Which by the way, a lot of people don't realize the first song that Pharrell produced.

[Steve Covino]

You could watch the story of it in a documentary done in lego form called piece by piece. It's actually fantastic if you want to learn more about Pharrell. So thanks. Thank you, buddy. Rump shaker. All I want to do is zoom. A zoom, zoom, zoom and a boom, boom, shake the rump. Who do we got next?

[Danny G]

Let's wrap up Mitch and Jersey, then we'll get an update with Isaac. Mitch, make it snappy, buddy. What's up, man?

[Caller]

How we doing? Happy radio.

[Danny G]

Thanks, man.

[Caller]

Cool. And Isaac over there. Boxing's so corrupt. I mean, Kendall would have cleaned up. He was fighting these days. He always fought the wrong time. And remember Ed Jones told tutorial Jones tried his act as boxing. I thought he'd be winning everything, but it's not. It's not about the size, about the pack of the punch there.

[Danny G]

Yeah, listen, I think if anything we learned.

[Steve Covino]

Why don't you try knocking me down?

[Danny G]

Vegas has a pretty close in the room. There's people on both sides of this. So I think if anything. Damn. Congrats to Jake Paul for intriguing us enough to look forward to. What is it? Friday, November 14th.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Danny G]

Put it on the calendar.

[Rich Davis]

We swore we wouldn't fall into his web.

[Danny G]

We did again. Oh, good. Good God. All right, let's go to Isaac for an update. Isaac Lohan Kahn. Hey, buddy.

[Isaac Loincron]

Thank you, fellows. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left practice early today after he got his foot stepped on. But the Ravens told reporters that Jackson is just fine. The Chicago Bears signed back backup quarterback Tyson bagent to a two year contract extension worth up to $16 million with $10 million guaranteed. The Bears also signed running back Royce Freeman. Atlanta Falcons right tackle Caleb McGarry was carted off the practice field today with an apparent left leg injury and will have an MRI. Baseball Kyle Schwaber, 5 RBI and hit his National League leading 45th home run. The Phillies 112 win over the Mariners. Schwaber passing Shohei Ohtani for the national league lead. He now trails Cal Raleigh by two for the major league lead. Philadelphia's Jesus Luz struck out 12 and six innings for his 12th win. Pirates knocked off the Blue Jays 2 to 1 and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Houston Astros 72 to sweep their three game series. Guys, all yours.

[Danny G]

Thank you, Isaac.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, buddy.

[Danny G]

Excited for your Yankees tonight?

[Steve Covino]

Hell, yeah. After that performance yesterday. Nine home runs, one home run away from tying the MLB record set in 1987 by the Toronto Blue Jays. Back in the George Bell days, nine home runs back to back to back. Stanton hit two.

[Rich Davis]

Man, talk about the whole team waking.

[Steve Covino]

Up and you know, Bellinger hit two. Yeah, it was insane.

[Danny G]

Your Dodgers played big, my Mets played big. I'm hoping Cavino's right when he said yesterday all all the premier teams are going to really start to step on the gas as the playoffs get closer because there's no guarantees, man. There's no guarantee. So we'll see what happens. We got more kavin on Rich again midweek Major. We'll talk some NFL, we'll talk some mlb, all here on Fox Sports Radio.

Did this song start the butt explosion. And when I say butt explosion, I'm not talking about spot this morning spots on the videos. You know we're streaming live. Fox sports radios, YouTube. But we have our own page now. It's @COVINOENRICH FSR @COVINOENRICH FSR on YouTube I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis having a great day.

[Danny G]

Follow the page again. YouTube.comrichfsr and now it's time for our.

[Steve Covino]

Tire rack play of the day. It was a record night for my New York Yankees. Two one here to Bellinger. Pitch swung on and driven deep to right. Going back Mangum. He's on the track. Look it up. It's out of here. Two run homer.

[Danny G]

Cody Bellinger his second homer tonight.

[Steve Covino]

It's 122 New York.

[Rich Davis]

That is the eighth home run hit by the Yankees.

[Danny G]

We're in the sixth inning.

[Steve Covino]

They ended up with nine. The record's ten. Yankees hit nine twice this season though. Bellinger hit two. Big G, John Carlo hit two, Caballero hit two against his former team.

[Danny G]

I have a final thought on the Gervonta Tank Davis Jake Paul thing.

[Steve Covino]

And I do too like Jerry Springer. I'm going to wrap it up.

[Danny G]

It's from the X account of Ryan Garcia, the very controversial Ryan who was.

[Steve Covino]

Knocked out by Tank from a body shot Ryan. But Ryan came in emaciated, remember, with the weight claws King Ryan.

[Danny G]

Has obviously got wind of this and he said I strongly doubt this happens even though it's been announced. He said, no way. Gervonta accepts Jake Paul at 195lbs. Gervonta is already small, naturally. And you really think he's going to decide to balloon up to 195? A bunch of laughing emojis. Then he said you got to be delusional to think that this is going to happen. And then he follow that up with boxing is officially the wwe.

[Steve Covino]

Wow. That's what I said. So it feels very much like that. And I'll wrap it up by saying this. I fully admit I'm talking out of both sides like double talking Dicky. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's sort of dumb. But of Course I'll watch, right? I watch dumber things on tv. I watch some of the stuff.

[Danny G]

I was gonna say Rich recommends you watch Love Island. You've disqualified yourself from ever saying something too dumb for you.

[Steve Covino]

There are still legitimate fights to look for and to get excited about. September 13th, Canelo Alvarez takes on Bud Crawford. And I can't wait.

[Danny G]

So you always quote the El Paso tortilla girl, right?

[Steve Covino]

Yes, the old El Paso tortilla girl. But what did it. They were deciding, do we do flour or corn tortillas?

[Danny G]

And the answer was, why not both? And why can't you have Bud Crawford, Canelo, and have your serious boxing, you know, match? And then say, you know what? I'm also entertained by Jake Paul and Tank Davis. I think I look at that and say, it's a double win.

[Steve Covino]

I just think this one's over the top. Ridiculous. But we'll be watching November 14th on Netflix. As of now, it's official. All right, now, you want to make fun of Gen Z. I do.

[Danny G]

And we're going to give away prizes of Mike's words of wisdom midweek. Major. But I had a question, because we're watching a lot of Little League World Series in the background.

[Steve Covino]

Better believe it, man.

[Danny G]

And you know I'm the biggest, bestest coach on Fox Sports Radio.

[Steve Covino]

Whoa. That's a bold statement.

[Danny G]

We know this.

[Steve Covino]

I know all the Little League moms are taking a liking to you.

[Danny G]

To you.

[Rich Davis]

Wasn't your winning percentage like.321 last season?

[Danny G]

Again, I said, the best coach on Fox Sports Radio.

[Steve Covino]

Damn. Kidding. Winning.

[Danny G]

So I noticed that the Little League World Series and, you know, with Little League and pony ball, which I coach, and my daughter's softball, they have the safety base at first. You know, the orange base, where the runner uses the orange base and the fielding. The defense uses the white back.

[Steve Covino]

The bananas use it, too. And I. Softball teams use it.

[Danny G]

I said to Cavino, I said, you don't remember using that as a kid? And, you know, if you're a kid of the 80s and 90s, it wasn't around. So I actually looked up, when did they introduce this? And it's almost like the mystery of the Internet. All I could find is, get this. It's going to be in college and high school baseball. It should be in the Pros starting in 2027. It is going to be everywhere. And the Little League World Series and Little League and kids around the country, it's become official as of this year, where it's mandatory.

[Steve Covino]

That way, the first baseman doesn't get tangled up with the runner. The runner stays in the baseline. There's no confusion. It makes sense.

[Danny G]

It's one of those things that like to argue. It would be like, what are we arguing for? It's fine. Like two bases at first, I've never had a problem with.

[Steve Covino]

And you got the white bag in fair territory for the first baseman, the orange bag in foul territory for the runner.

[Danny G]

You think it'll ever hit the majors?

[Steve Covino]

I think it absolutely should. I'm not sure why it hasn't.

[Danny G]

Like, like, why not at this point? Right. It's, it's. I don't think it wussifies the game at all.

[Steve Covino]

Not even a little bit.

[Danny G]

So. All right. Your thoughts at Kobe?

[Rich Davis]

No.

[Danny G]

Rich, we got more.

[Rich Davis]

How do you make an Airbnb? A VRbox. Picture a vacation rental with a host. The host is dragging your family on a tour of the kitchen, the bathroom, the upstairs bathroom, the downstairs bedroom and the TV room, which, surprise, is where you can watch tv. Now imagine there's no host giving you a tour because there's never any hosts at all, ever. Voila. You've got yourself a vrbo. Want a vacation that's completely and totally host free?
