Introduction to the Discussion

[04:35 – 05:54]

In this episode, hosts Steve Covino and Rich Davis kick off their discussion by diving into the recently released sequel, "Happy Gilmore 2." They express initial skepticism about the film's heavy reliance on cameos, highlighting that the movie features an impressive 74 cameos. Steve remarks, “Was there a lot of cameos? Yes, 74 of them,” setting the stage for a critical yet entertaining analysis.

Impact of Cameos on the Sequel

[05:08 – 07:39]

Rich Davis shares his surprise at the number of cameos, admitting, “I actually approached this movie thinking I wasn't gonna like it. Like, ah, leave well enough alone. I'm not gonna like this. And I still laughed out loud” ([04:35]). Despite his reservations, he acknowledges that the frequent cameos added unexpected humor to the film.

Dan Beyer concurs with the critique, stating, “I believe that Spot had a point with the egregious number of cameos, some that didn't resonate” ([06:17]). He adds that while some cameos were entertaining, others felt out of place, particularly those featuring LPGA stars and lesser-known PGA Tour players.

Plot and Humor Evaluation

[07:39 – 10:32]

Steve Covino compares the plot elements to classic sports films, saying, “I thought it was entertaining” ([07:39]). Dan Beyer appreciates Vern Lundquist’s performance, noting, “I thought Vern Lundquist stole the show. I thought that Vern Lundquist was the best part of it” ([06:26]). He also finds humor in how the movie reflects the absurdities of the golf world, particularly parodying Liv Golf.

Iowa Sam offers a more critical perspective, pointing out issues with casting and excessive CGI. He remarks, “I think people who love it have the Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler, Netflix, beer goggles on. Take them off. Watch this movie. It's not good. It's not bad” ([10:22]). Sam feels the film is “a sloppy mess” and lacks the ingenuity needed to stand out.

Nostalgia vs. Originality

[10:32 – 13:01]

The conversation shifts to the role of nostalgia in sequels. Steve Covino acknowledges that while nostalgia can draw in fans, it often leads to a lack of originality. Rich Davis compares the sequel to other nostalgic reboots, noting, “It's the same way where there's any sequel or spin-off or jump-off” ([13:01]). They debate whether relying heavily on past elements enhances or detracts from the movie's quality.

Dan Beyer adds, “I think this movie violated a big rule of comedy, is that it was too long, it was bloated” ([12:48]), suggesting that the overuse of nostalgic cameos made the film feel dragged out and unfocused.

Final Thoughts and Conclusions

[13:01 – 15:00]

Steve Covino wraps up the discussion by reiterating that if viewers manage their expectations, they might enjoy the sequel for its “dumb fun” ([09:01]). Rich Davis draws parallels to other film franchises, emphasizing that while sequels can succeed, they often struggle to capture the magic of the originals.

Iowa Sam maintains his critical stance, stating, “I found it to be boring and not funny” ([10:45]), but acknowledges that audience reception is varied. The hosts agree that “Happy Gilmore 2” serves its purpose for fans seeking a continuation filled with humor and cameos, even if it falls short for critics.

We'll be filling in for the herd on Thursday and Friday. Just a little reminder out there, plant the seed. Join us on the herd. But it's always a pleasure to be here at our home. We like our home.

It's our last one.

[Unknown Host]

I think it is the last one in our inventory right now.

[Steve Covino]

Swiggy, which is our stainless steel water bottle. Your chance to win and play this hour, 87799 on Fox. But before we talk having babies in sports, let's wrap up this Happy Gilmore talk because it's blasphemous to expect anything other than what it was. Was it a little long? Yeah, it was a little long. Was there a lot of cameos? Yes, 74 of them. But was it still funny? Rich? I actually approached this movie thinking I wasn't gonna like it. Like, ah, leave well enough alone. I'm not gonna like this. And I still laughed out loud.

[Dr. Leitra Tate]

It's.

[Rich Davis]

But it's expectations, right? I have a question. Have you ever Had a late night dirty water hot dog in New York City. Or Taco Bell at 3 in the morning. Or maybe a little gyro. A little gyro with extra sauce at like 4am After a night of drinking in L. A.

[Unknown Host]

It's the bacon wrapped hot dog carts.

[Rich Davis]

Outside of bacon wrapped hot dogs.

[Unknown Host]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, you eat it knowing that it's going to taste good going down. But I may have a stomach issue in a couple hours. Because you set a realistic expectation. Right. When you sit down to watch Happy Gilmore 2, I don't think you pop the popcorn thinking, like you said, you're gonna watch some Scorsese or, you know, some ridiculously well done movie. You assumed you were gonna get callbacks, you're gonna get cameos.

[Steve Covino]

When my uncle Joe complains about the service at Applebee's, I'm like, dude, it's Applebee's, bro. Relax. He's complaining about the food quality and the service. I'm like, man, come on, you gotta have your expectations correct now. Iowa. Sam hated it. Before we get to your phone calls and wrap it up. Yeah, we gotta get to the great Dan Buyer. The world can't wait anymore for his review.

[Dan Beyer]

Why don't we do it on the other side?

[Rich Davis]

No, no, no.

[Steve Covino]

We gotta do it. He's the Gene Siskel of Fox Sports Radio and the only real golf guy here in the studio right now.

[Dan Beyer]

I believe that Spot had a point with the egregious number of cameos, some that didn't resonate. You didn't know if they were an LPGA star because there were a couple in the movie that wouldn't. And even some of the PGA Tour stars, I don't think people remembered or knew. So I agree with Spot on that point. I didn't think it was as long. It was one of the reasons why I sat down last night and saw it, said like, all right, it's under two hours, like an hour and 56. Let's watch it. I thought Vern Lundqvist stole the show. I thought that Vern Lundqvist was the best part of it. And if you are going to watch it and don't have high expectations, just tune in. For Vern Lundquist alone, I thought that he was the best. But as a golf fan, guys, I did find the plot somewhat humorous because I feel that's what Liv Golf kind of thought to be. So within that golf world, I thought, yeah, people see, look at how ridiculous this is. And I feel that that was kind of a reflection on Liv Golf. Even though There were Liv golfers in the movie as well. I thought that that part was funny. I don't know if I enjoyed it but I did not think that it was as bad as say Iowa Sam thought or spot disliking it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Any other final words? I think that was well said, Dan. And I think there was a of like Rocky sort of tie ins as far as plot. And I also felt like the plot had to do with how the bananas are changing baseball or how there's so many spectacles in the world of fighting. Right. And just a different side of things that we're seeing in sports. I thought it was entertaining.

[Rich Davis]

I thought Scotty Scheffler stole the show with one line too. And Shuda was training all them and Scheffler thinks he's gonna do the Scheffler and they're like yeah, no. And. And then the whole jail scene with him, I thought and John Daly living in the garage. I thought they may have gone to the well with one too many professional golfers. But if you're in the golf world, Kavino, wouldn't you assume that this is a project you jump at the opportunity.

[Steve Covino]

And we can't continue on without bringing up the great Pat Daniels. Our very own Dan Patrick who had several cameos throughout the movie which shows you the sandman. Oh yes. Loves himself some Fox Sports. So look, I wouldn't be disparaging it anyway cuz I would love a cameo. But I really did like I went there with no expectations. I thought I wouldn't like it at all. I actually laughed out loud more times than I thought and I thought it was dumb fun. That's exactly what you'd expect from a Happy Gilmore sequel.

[Rich Davis]

Haley Joel Osmond as like like the corny villain was perfect. I thought like the fact that he was able to have a little more torque because like that whole storyline that I was saying hated. I thought that was so stupid that it was funny.

[Steve Covino]

Sam, you're gonna have a bunch of dudes on the golf course now doing that. Haley Joel Osmond sort of.

[Iowa Sam]

I didn't understand casting him. I thought he was out of place. He doesn't look like a professional athlete. He's like 4 foot 7. The whole like hip twisting thing I thought was just the dumbest thing.

[Steve Covino]

I thought that was funny as hell.

[Iowa Sam]

And then there was so much CGI in the movie of like back in.

[Steve Covino]

The day they used to just do.

[Iowa Sam]

Practical effects for stuff. Now you have like a CGI ball flying over the place and like. And then like There was. I don't know, it was just.

[Steve Covino]

Sam was not feeling it. But you know what?

[Rich Davis]

But I mean, Sam, don't you see that if you get that. If you get that hip surgery, like Haley Joel Osborne, you could drive the ball 500 yards. You don't get it.

[Iowa Sam]

I very much get it. I don't think there's a whole lot to get.

[Steve Covino]

I get it, Sam. You speak on behalf of, you know, half the world on social media because people just love to find the things that they dislike as opposed to what the positives were.

[Iowa Sam]

But then, can I put on the other shoe? I think people who are like, oh, I loved it. People saying they loved it. I'm like, I think you have the Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler, Netflix, beer goggles on. Take them off. Watch this movie. It's not good. It's not bad.

[Rich Davis]

But I don't think you're supposed to take them off, Sam. That's the whole point.

[Iowa Sam]

They're just. All they did was. All they did was fall back on nostalgia, and the nostalgia got cheap. And it was like, almost stupidly low level nostalgia, too.

[Steve Covino]

I know someone here is not getting a cameo in his next film.

[Iowa Sam]

Listen again. I. I like Adam Sandler. Like, but I'm not here to pretend to like this movie just because, like, Dan Patrick was in it.

[Rich Davis]

No, but I liked it.

[Steve Covino]

I did. I did.

[Iowa Sam]

I legitimately thought it was not entertaining and not funny. That's why I thought it found it to be boring.

[Unknown Host]

I should have told Sam prior to the show today that his publicist is tuned in listening to us right now.

[Steve Covino]

Wow. Sorry.

[Iowa Sam]

I mean, I saw a lot of people who did not like the movie.

[Steve Covino]

Rich and I would never compromise our real feelings on. On it if we.

[Iowa Sam]

No, you guys like. And there are people like this. Fine. I just. The way the movie was constructed, I just thought it was all over the place. I just thought it was a sloppy mess.

[Rich Davis]

It's the same way where there's any sequel or spin off or jump off.

[Iowa Sam]

So don't make it. So don't make it. It's just more Netflix.

[Rich Davis]

And if you're a fan of that brand or that movie, you're gonna love it. Like any cheap reference to Leslie Nielsen that they make in the new Naked Gun movie. I am gonna love every time on Fuller House when st. Have mercy. I liked it. You're hitting me. Maybe I'm the dopey demographic, but I think I love when they go to the well on that crowd.

[Iowa Sam]

I think we're in the age of reboot and it's just. It's just. This is so stale.

[Steve Covino]

It's so stale.

[Rich Davis]

I was saying. I was saying if they showed some Urkel reboot and Jaleel White as a grown up was like, got any cheese? I'd be the guy that said, yeah, got any cheese?

[Iowa Sam]

Like, I. I don't see the. I don't see there's any ingenuity in there. There's no innovation.

[Steve Covino]

It's just this.

[Iowa Sam]

It's a stale regurgitation of this stuff. Dan Beyer has.

[Rich Davis]

Kavino and I both watched the. I thought you were in a dumber reboot.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, I did not see that.

[Dan Beyer]

I may. I may have brought this up before, and I think Danny G can maybe back me up on this. It reminds me of when. So, like, when Tupac died, one of the things was, was there's all these unreleased tracks. Well, there was a reason, like, those didn't make albums. Okay. Like, they probably weren't better stuff. So then when you start releasing all of this old stuff and maybe it wasn't as good as the stuff that you put out. And I feel that's a little bit about like this, like, after. Like, after so long. There's only so much that can match up to. It may not be, like, exact, but there are only so many jokes that you can do. And yeah, maybe if you're, like, trying to go back to the. Well, it's just not gonna be as strong as the original.

[Iowa Sam]

I think that this movie violated a big rule of comedy, is that it was too long, it was bloated. There were scenes that could have been cut out. A good Comedy, follow the 90 minute rule. Even if they got it down to 90 minutes, I think it's. I don't think I would have liked it any.

[Steve Covino]

Sam.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I saw it wasn't even a movie. I think it's just a matter of how much do you want your nostalgia bone to be tickled, massaged, caressed, Stroked.

[Steve Covino]

Would be the stroke. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

The movie Love actually was a holiday classic. I know. Cavino hates it. I love it. That's irrelevant. That's not the. That's not the story here. But speaking of Liam Neeson, who's going to be in the new Naked Gun spot, remembers this. Remember, like maybe five years ago, for a charity, they did like a 10, maybe a 10, 15 minute short of where all those characters are now from Love, actually.

[Dan Beyer]

Correct.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

[Rich Davis]

And it was like, really well done for Red Nose Day. They did like a. Where are they now? You know, that I feel it in my fingers that that character, the singer they had where Liam Neeson is the son, Everything. I don't know why you wouldn't want to see that if you loved Sandler and Happy Gilmore. If you watch it as much as all of us did in college and high school, why would you say, like, nah, you know, why would you not want that?

[Steve Covino]

Well, I'm sure millions of people did watch. I can't wait to see how many. So congratulations, because I'm sure when all said and done, huge success. And speaking of, Fantastic Four made a million dollars more worldwide than Superman's debut over the weekend. So big weekend for movies and box office and goofy shows.

[Rich Davis]

I must be a simpleton with this stuff, because I know that they're in the process of making a new Lethal Weapon, that they're gonna involve Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. You're telling me you're not gonna be waiting for Danny Glover to say, I'm really too old for this? You know, like, they did that, and it was called Lethal Weapon 4.

[Iowa Sam]

It came out, like, 20 years ago.

[Steve Covino]

Enough with it.

[Rich Davis]

All right, fine.

[Iowa Sam]

Danny Glover literally is too old for this.

[Dan Beyer]

Ish.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, okay.

[Iowa Sam]

And that was one of my favorite films.

[Steve Covino]

Right.

[Iowa Sam]

I'm sorry. I know I sound very negative. I know.

[Steve Covino]

I.

[Iowa Sam]

And I don't want to be insufferable with how negative I am. It's good that people liked it. I love the original Happy Gilmore. I just found it to be boring and not funny.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, I get it.

[Steve Covino]

Everybody sour sand.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I get it that there's. There comes a time where it's like, all right, the nostalgia has been overdone. And I feel like, you know where we saw that with one of our legends that passed away recently, there was a point where anytime Hulk Hogan came out and they hit Real American and he came out and posed, everyone ate it up. And then eventually I was like, all right, I think we've done this too many times.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, he got booed at his last public appearance, but that was probably for multiple reasons. Yeah. Who knows? So again, we're Covino and Rich. Thank you, guys. Like it? Don't like it. Check it out. It's on Netflix, but people were enjoying it and all over the place with it over the weekend on social media. We'll wrap it up with your phone call at 877-99-NOO.

[Unknown Host]

Yeah, Nick in Boston.

[Steve Covino]

What up, Nick? You're on the show.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Nick?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, what's going on, guys? I feel the same way. Having Gilmore was fine, but I think the best entertainment for the weekend was definitely SNL on Saturday night with Nate Brigace. Most specifically, they had Dana Carvey playing Joe Biden. Maya Rudolph was in there playing Kamala. But the best part about that whole episode was the sushi glory host. Well, speaking of going back to the whale, too many times, did Nate Barghesi do the old George Washington thing again? They did, but that was a repeat. Okay. All right.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Steve Covino]

So, yeah, I know everybody loves when he's on there. I didn't watch it. But speaking of some SNL cameos in Happy Gilmore and Bad Bunny was also the big name involved as the caddy. So enjoy it. Your feedback at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Yes, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

I know we're talking Baseball hall of Fame and all the moves being made. What? Thursday's the deadline, right? And Sandler and Happy Gilmore over the weekend, your boy became a girl dad, Brock Purdy. Brock and what's his wife, Jenna welcomed Millie Jolene Purdy. And life just became a whole lot sweeter, as they said in the post. So congratulations to Brock Purdy. Now, you have to ask yourself this, and it's a pretty simple question. My first reaction is this. Congrats. It's amazing. It's a wonderful experience. Rich and I, both girl dads. Rich also has a little son, Danny G. Has a little terror named Koa and a bunch of grown stepsons that give Danny G wedgies at night.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Danny G. Stepsons are like Sandler sons in Happy Gilmore tale.

[Iowa Sam]

Can I, can I share with you the one scene I did laugh at?

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Iowa Sam]

So there was the Hal El doll they brought home.

[Rich Davis]

Yes.

[Iowa Sam]

And they started kicking it around, beating it up, and they kicked its head. And then the ballet teacher's reaction actually made me laugh. So I did like that.

[Steve Covino]

I thought Bobon was funny, too.

[Unknown Host]

And you guys are accurate. That does look like my house.

[Steve Covino]

That right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So Danny G. Has a whole big giant blended family, but one little rugrat who just got his first haircut named Koa. So cute. Even though he's. What, he's not even two and he's six feet tall. He's a big dude. He wears Danny G's boots. That's how big he is. But my first thought, Rich, is congrats to the Purdy family. He's going to be extra motivated this season. Like your boy Christian McCaffrey. Right.

[Rich Davis]

McCaffrey and Purdy both had baby girls in the last month, which is like, you know, if the 49ers aren't motivated. What will motivate them more?

[Steve Covino]

So, yeah, let's lead with the positive. Hey, man, they're going to bond over that chemistry of being new dads. They're both dads now. They'll talk about it and bond over it. Maybe build. Build on that. It's a great motivator because yo s gets real. Life gets real. When you become a kid and you're responsible for another life, right? You're like, yo, I can't slip and trip and fall back and mess around. Like, you get next level motivated. But then, Danny G, there's a flip side. And that flip side is, you know, how tired were you for the past two years when you were pulling those late nights as a dad?

[Unknown Host]

I'm still pulling weird eyes.

[Steve Covino]

That's what I'm saying. And I understand they have a luxury that most parents don't, which is help and everything else.

[Unknown Host]

Have a nanny.

[Steve Covino]

A nanny.

[Unknown Host]

But you know what show has been covering this? I've been watching the Nelly and Ashanti reality show on Peacock. And Ashanti had her first with Nelly. And it's just showing how difficult it is for her to pick up where she left off with her career now that she has a newborn.

[Steve Covino]

It's not easy. So that's the point. That's really the point. Like, everybody loves to see the positives, as we should when it comes to being a new parent. And there's so much blessing involved and so many exciting things. But let's be real about the fact that it's not always that easy. That doesn't mean that you want to hear people project their experience on you. I know it's one of Rich's pet peeves. Like, yeah, good luck sleeping man. You know, some kids aren't as bad as other kids. So you may have a completely different experience. But based on that richest team, the 49ers, Brock Purdy, big deal, big contract, now has lots to prove he's a new dad. Do you think there's, I don't know, more motivation or more distraction at home when it comes to playing professional sports? Because you got to still be there to some degree. I know you're focused on football, and that's what brings home the bacon. But you still got to put especially into today's world. I'll give you an example. Our dads maybe never or rarely touched a diaper. Okay, they helped out. They got home from work, they helped out. Let's say that today's dad, I see it with my sister and my brother in law, they like, they got to do everything together. So it's not like mom's changing a diaper or dad's changing a diaper. They do it together. Everything's together. Everything's like a, you know, it's way.

[Unknown Host]

Way more teamwork than what we saw as kids.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Way different. So I know he's Brock Purdy. I, he has luxuries that we don't have. I know Christian McCaffrey has family and luxuries and things like that, but he's still going to be more hands on than people probably realize because he's a regular dude and these guys are brand new parents. So more motivating or equally distracting when you think of the possible negatives wouldn't be the worst. But let's say added responsibility, that and.

[Unknown Host]

Your life is filled with more meaning.

[Steve Covino]

You have it out. Yeah.

[Unknown Host]

You have more of a purpose. So right there I know that your head, if even if it's slightly twisted, it goes straight immediately.

[Steve Covino]

But you know what, with that purpose you're not just focused on football anymore. Right. So like again, I'm playing devil's advocate because, you know, I've been there. We've all been there. Do you. How do you think this is going to affect the team? I think it's, I think it's going to affect them in a positive way. Rich, to be honest, I think him and McCaffrey are going to bond over this.

[Rich Davis]

Well, listen, what, other than sports teams that you root for and what you're going through in life is the number one thing that bonds people. Like that's how a lot of your friendships as an adult are based on like, oh, my kids and your kids play little League together, daughters are in the same dance class and oh, do you remember when your kid did this? My kids doing that. So I think new dads are more motivated than ever.

[Steve Covino]

I remember. But there are challenges, dude. There are sleepless nights, there are distractions. Again, not from a negative place. It's just, it's just the responsibility of being a parent.

[Rich Davis]

I think truthfully that when you are at that level, and I'm sure you pointed this out at this level, I'm not saying they're not involved by any means. I'm not saying that at all. But if you are Christian McCaffrey or Brock Purdy, if you're Brock Purdy and you just signed the contract where you're making 50 plus million dollars a year, you have an overnight nanny, you have someone that is doing the 2am diaper changes and feedings your wife could handle it, your mother in law, your mother, someone could handle it. I promise you Brock Purdy is going to kiss that baby, hold that baby, be prideful, be as involved as he could be. But I promise you Brock Purdy is not going to be tired in the huddle because he was doing a 3am diaper change again. Unless he wants to.

[Steve Covino]

The pros are obvious, it's a blessing and we congratulate them. But it does change your perspective a little bit. Football becomes football, work becomes work. And you realize there's more important things in life. So hey, wishing them all the best as they make those adjustments as we all have. But congratulations to Rich's boys again, football. What are we, 37, 38 days away now. 30 something days away. So enjoy it while you can. You have some football freedom now. Wait, Rick.

[Rich Davis]

Believe that. Can you believe that? Thursday. I know it's just preseason, but can you believe the conversation and all that begins in literally three days. You and I be like tonight. Chargers are playing. The Chargers Lions, right? First game.

[Steve Covino]

Yep. Now. Wow. When we get back we're going to take your phone calls. We got to line this up. We're going to play a game that's sweeping the nation.

[Rich Davis]

I love this.

[Steve Covino]

It's called last one standing. And Dan Byers pretty impossible to beat when he's, when he's in the zone. When his little rugrat didn't keep him up late at night. Yeah, when he's in the zone.

[Unknown Host]

So little kid or not, he's won this game 30 times.

[Steve Covino]

I know. He's like the Joey Chestnut, by the way, who had a weekend with the bananas. Did you see that? He's the Joey Chestnut of this game. He's a champion. Now if you want to play the numbers 87799 on Fox, it's called last one standing. And it's for the last standing. Swiggy.

[Unknown Host]

Very last one. I'm gonna have you guys sign it.

[Steve Covino]

Our stainless steel water bottle is midnight black. It's really nice. Perfect for those kids going back to school because they lose them, they lose one a week. I think that's the average. So you need a new water bottle. Now's your chance at 87799 on Fox. We're gonna talk concerts and events. Stadium fails. We'll call it stadium fails. And we'll play last one standing. All next here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Dr. Leitra Tate]

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going.

[Dan Beyer]

Through something like that is a traumatic experience. But it's also not the end of your life.

[Dr. Leitra Tate]

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trittate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week I sit down with people who've lived through harmony, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Check out behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved.

[Steve Covino]

San Diego coming to MLS is gonna be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch. And so the succession plan of long.

[Dan Beyer]

Term success needs to be defined.

[Steve Covino]

We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.

[Unknown Host]

[Maria Hinojosa]

When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that had been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative.

[Steve Covino]

That immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech.

[Maria Hinojosa]

Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities.

[Dan Beyer]

When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is.

[Maria Hinojosa]

Going to push back on that colorism. All of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman Aoc. I don't want to give them my fear.

[Steve Covino]

I'm not going to give them my fear.

[Maria Hinojosa]

Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura podcast network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

[Rich Davis]

I think Covino, tonight I'm gonna watch Gilmore 2 again because we have friends in town, Texas, and they said we haven't watched it yet. I'm like, you know what? I'd actually watch it again. And I may watch with a. I was Sam critical eye tonight. We'll see.

[Steve Covino]

How about just enjoy it that's the bad approach. It's the wrong approach. And by the way, I would have killed for a cameo. Cameo style as we play some cameo here. Word up on the Cavino and Rich show because there was 74 cameos in Happy Gilmore too. They could use a 75th from us instead. They had those no talent ass clowns Cheeto, Santino and Bobby Lee in there. Just kidding. Love those guys. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio for over 40 years, by the way. Yeah, who's that? SiriusXM show. That's what I want to know.

[Rich Davis]

I've never heard of them. Yeah, and we worked there 20 years.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that there was a lot of cameos. Dan Patrick, one of them did a great job.

[Rich Davis]

Kavino, before we get to last one standing, two quick questions I just saw trending on social media.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

What would you call this is a big debate among men. But hey, shout out to all our short kings. As they say out there, what is the tallest of the short guy range? Like what's the tallest a short guy could be if you go, oh, that guy is pretty short. What's the tallest short guy?

[Steve Covino]

Tallest short guy is 5, 9.

[Rich Davis]

The consensus is 510. I think 59 is the answer though.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know where you got the study from, but I'm sticking with five, nine.

[Rich Davis]

Tick tock stats, bro.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, TikTok stats. Five ten and three fourths. And in my family, Rich, I'm giant. So it's all relative to the size of your steeple. All right, so it's Monday, fun day. Hope you had a great weekend. A happy weekend, a Happy Gilmore sort of weekend, a Nick Kurt sort of weekend. But we gotta do it. Every Monday we play Last one standing. You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia. Life, man.

[Dan Beyer]

Ah, I gotta. Yeah, I don't got it.

[Steve Covino]

Put your electronic devices down and pick your sports knowledge.

[Rich Davis]

It's CNR's last one standing. Last one standing.

[Unknown Host]

All right, I have four categories ready to go if needed. A tiebreaker. Each contestant gets five seconds to stay alive in the round. If you run out of time or you answer incorrectly, Iowa, Sam will take you out with his famous buzzer. Oh, No, I don't want to hear that.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Unknown Host]

We keep battling until you are the last one standing. If you win two of the rounds, you're the top dog. Here are the contest. Eight time winner, Steve Covino right over there.

[Steve Covino]

Top dog, big dog, Steve Covino, small dog.

[Unknown Host]

11 time winner, Rich Davis in the house.

[Steve Covino]

All right, 11 time wiener.

[Unknown Host]

And 30 time winner. The leader in the clubhouse, Dan Byer.

[Dan Beyer]

I also want to make it clear I'm not here all the time. So I'm not here every Monday.

[Steve Covino]

I was saying it would be more.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, yeah. So it could be more.

[Steve Covino]

At least Got a cameo in a Sandler movie. Seven of my eight victories were when you were not here, Dan.

[Unknown Host]

All right, we're going to go to the studio lines to see who is playing for our last C and R. Stainless steel, sweetie. In our inventory. DB I'll use you for this. Would you love to travel to beautiful Cape Coral, Florida, Newport News, Virginia. South Padre Island, Texas. South Jackson, Tennessee. Virginia Beach, Virginia, or Crossville, Tennessee?

[Dan Beyer]

We're gonna go to South Padre, Texas.

[Unknown Host]

South Padre. All right, South Padre, that is. And no, that's. Let's see. Kev. Kevin. What's up, brother?

[Rich Davis]

I was gonna say that's also where a lot of young Texas kids get drunk.

[Unknown Host]

Hey, Kevin. How are today?

[Steve Covino]

What's going on, guys? Big fan. Big fan. Heck, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, man.

[Unknown Host]

What do you do for a living there?

[Rich Davis]

I deliver uniforms around here, man.

[Steve Covino]

I'm always on the go, brother. So. Yeah.

[Unknown Host]

Nice. Thank you for taking C and R with you.

[Steve Covino]

All right.

[Unknown Host]

Unicorns, by the way.

[Iowa Sam]

Uniforms.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, uniforms.

[Unknown Host]

Spot is the fact checker during this game.

[Steve Covino]

I hate it.

[Unknown Host]

A lot of pressure on Spotty during this game. So have patience with him, please. All right, here we go. First category. That dude. Chad, you have five seconds to name one of the MLB teams that ChatGPT predicts will be a World Series winner in the next 20 years.

[Steve Covino]

Wild. Yes. Wild.

[Unknown Host]

Covino, you're up first as soon as the timer starts.

[Steve Covino]

Right now, I'll go with the obvious. The Dodgers have to be. The Dodgers are on there twice in 2026 and 2027. Wow.

[Unknown Host]

Rich.

[Rich Davis]

I have to say, because I was happy, I'm hoping ChatGPT is right. The Mets.

[Steve Covino]

The Mets are on there once in 20, 2040. Rich. Sorry? 2040.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, see, I saw a different one. Geez.

[Unknown Host]

All right, buyer.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, Covino's Yankees have to be.

[Steve Covino]

The Yankees are on there twice. Yes.

[Unknown Host]

All right, Kev.

[Steve Covino]

2024.

[Dan Beyer]

2044.

[Steve Covino]

I'm gonna go with my Astros, man. Astros not on the list. Wow. Sorry, buddy.

[Unknown Host]

All right, Kilvino.

[Steve Covino]

I gotta say, it's interesting that we're using ChatGPT as like a fortune teller nowadays. Self help, right? It's like, what do they know about this? I'll have Phillies. Phillies are there for 2034.

[Unknown Host]

They agree with you, though. Kobe. All right, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

This is so ridiculous. It's arbitrary. I'm guessing the Cubs.

[Steve Covino]

The Cubs are there in 2033. Rich.

[Unknown Host]

Buyer.

[Dan Beyer]

I can't wait to the San Francisco Giants win another title in the country of California 19 years from now. I'm going to go with the Giants.

[Steve Covino]

The Giants are not on the list. Sorry.

[Dan Beyer]

Maybe because they're not in the country. Yeah, that's right.

[Steve Covino]

They're in their own league.

[Unknown Host]

It's between cnr. Covino, back to you.

[Steve Covino]

You know, I'm going to go. Because they've done it in recent history. They're always in the mix. Texas Rangers. The Rangers are on the list for 2032. Nice.

[Unknown Host]

All right, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

The Padres, are they on this list?

[Dan Beyer]

They are in 2030.

[Unknown Host]

We got a battle. Covino.

[Steve Covino]

Gotta be realistic.

[Unknown Host]

3.

[Steve Covino]

The Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays are on the list for 2035. Yeah.

[Unknown Host]

R, back to you.

[Steve Covino]

Man. Oh, man.

[Dan Beyer]

Kavino's good at this game.

[Rich Davis]

Fortune telling, guys. The Brewers. I don't know the Brewers.

[Unknown Host]

Brewers.

[Steve Covino]

No, not at all.

[Rich Davis]

Savannah Bananas on the list?

[Steve Covino]

No, the Savannah Bananas are not on the list. They're on your list. New Orleans is on the list.

[Dan Beyer]

I don't know who that is exactly.

[Steve Covino]

They're going to be a future team, apparently. Yeah.

[Unknown Host]

They have like an expansion team listed for years.

[Steve Covino]

Scheduled to win.

[Dan Beyer]

They're already scheduled.

[Steve Covino]

Scheduled to win. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, I want these. I want these questions to require skill.

[Steve Covino]

But hold on, Danny, this is malarkey. I mean, there's deductive reasoning involved.

[Unknown Host]

No, there is, right? Yeah. They take.

[Steve Covino]

They didn't throw any weak ass teams out there. Yeah. By the way, this year, the Braves, you got the Orioles in 2028, Mariners in 2029, Orioles again in 2031.

[Dan Beyer]

You didn't mention there's a better chance of a team going to South Padre than there is of New Orleans.

[Steve Covino]

Story. Like a buzzing, like, newsworthy story. People are talking about this because I didn't see it.

[Unknown Host]

Yeah, it's been going around.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, cool.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Unknown Host]

Second category is literally drop the ball. You have five seconds to name an NFL team who led the league in committing turnovers last season. So top 17 teams in turnovers in 2024. Kev you're up first as soon as the clock starts. Right now.

[Steve Covino]

New Orleans. Saints. Saints not on the list. O. Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Just so clarify, can you say it again?

[Unknown Host]

So teams who led the league in turnovers.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay, so they committed turnovers.

[Unknown Host]

They committed the turnovers.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay. All right, we'll go with the titans.

[Steve Covino]

Titans. Number two, 34.

[Unknown Host]

Nice, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Jets.

[Steve Covino]

Jets not on the list.

[Unknown Host]

They might have stunk, but they held onto the ball. Covino.

[Steve Covino]

Panthers. Panthers number 14 with 22 back to Byer.

[Dan Beyer]

Browns.

[Steve Covino]

Browns number one, 34.

[Unknown Host]

Boom Cove.

[Steve Covino]

Jaguars. Jags number 924.

[Unknown Host]

Fire.

[Dan Beyer]

What about the Raiders?

[Steve Covino]

Raiders number four, 29.

[Unknown Host]

That hurts, Covina.

[Steve Covino]

Sorry, dude.

[Unknown Host]

It's all right.

[Steve Covino]

Giants. Giants number 10, 23 back to Byer.

[Dan Beyer]

Bears. Bears.

[Steve Covino]

The Bears not on the list.

[Unknown Host]

Oh, Covino.

[Steve Covino]

Look at this.

[Unknown Host]

Walks off two categories in a row.

[Steve Covino]

Smartest.

[Unknown Host]

That is Kovino's ninth win in this game.

[Steve Covino]

Who do you think you are?

[Rich Davis]

I am nothing to do with skill.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Who do you think you are? I am Yippity. All right, Kevin. Feeling it.

[Unknown Host]

Hey, Kev, thanks for listening and playing the game in Texas with us.

[Steve Covino]

Appreciate you guys. Have a good one. Thank you.

[Dan Beyer]

Man, you missed the Colts at three, Cowboys at five, Ners at six, Falcons.

[Steve Covino]

At seven, Seahawks at eight. There you go for the Bengals on there. No, the Bengals were number 13. Okay. Yeah. You know, watching quarterback, you realize how Joe. Joe Burrow still put up such great numbers, but man, they came so close, so many games, but the team around them was playing like ass for so long. Poor guy.

[Unknown Host]

Defense struggled throughout the year and a lot of one score games.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, if you haven't watched Quarterback, a must watch. When you're done with that, there's a show called Building a Band that I highly recommend. It's not that shabby if you like trash reality tv. It's a singing competition, actually. Building a band, not too bad. All right, so db, I won one.

[Dan Beyer]

Congrats on the win.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, man.

[Dan Beyer]

By the way, I wasn't listening as close as I should. And I'm so glad that Kevin said the mascot because if he would have just said Miami, I would have thought we were talking NBA maybe for a second. So on the turnovers portion of it, I'm so glad that Kevin saved me from that portion. All right, no NBA news, but there is a bunch of news in Major League Baseball, the NFL, but we start in college football, where Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, revealed today that he was diagnosed with bladder cancer this offseason. But is now cancer free.

[Steve Covino]

And there's some people out there right.

[Dan Beyer]

Now dealing with the same issue of.

[Steve Covino]

Affected by that C word that we.

[Dan Beyer]

Usually when we hear that word there's.

[Steve Covino]

Normally a life sentence attached to it but not this time because God got.

[Dan Beyer]

Me and I don't take it for granted. Sanders revealed that he had his entire bladder removed because of the cancerous tumor. Doctors built a new bladder for Sanders who will resume his full time job as the head coach at Colorado. As the team opened camp today in the NFL, the Broncos and wide receiver Cortland Sutton agreed to a new four year contract extension worth $92 million. Titans release former first round pick wide receiver Traylon Bur. Steelers let go of Cordero Patterson in baseball guardians closer Emmanuel Clase was placed on the non disciplinary leave list as he's under investigation as part of baseball's probe into gambling. Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper allegedly swore the face of baseball commissioner Rob Manfred following a meeting in the team's clubhouse last week. ESPN reports the confrontation occurred during an hour long meeting with the team, with Harper feeling Manfred was about to talk about the possibility of a salary cap in the game. It was all part of Manfred's annual tour of visiting with all 30 teams. Brewers are reportedly getting catcher Danny Jansen from the Rays. Cubs gave president of baseball ops Jed Hoyer a contract extension. Tigers acquired Twins pitchers Chris Paddock and Randy Dobrecht as part of a deal with Minnesota, sending a minor leaguer back in return. And Steve Cavinos picked up his ninth win in last man standing today on Camino and Rich.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, bro. Thank you.

[Rich Davis]

Hey Kavino, there's a, there's an athlete. I think I want to end on this if it's cool with you. Coming up next, there's an athlete that for some reason gets a free pass, meaning he did something very questionable and we don't seem to ever question it. We've questioned domestic violence, we've questioned animal abuse, we've questioned, you know, drugs and alcohol. There's an athlete that did something that never gets questioned until now because, because the young star in the NBA, Wemby, sort of called out an NBA legend. I don't know if you know the story, but we got to get to it next before we get out of here. Is that cool?

[Steve Covino]

What if I say no?

[Rich Davis]

Then I'll just agree with you and do something else.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, faint thanks. All right. So we'll think about it. All right. We got more Covino and Rich next on Fox Sports Radio.

Have you seen Luca 2.0?

[Steve Covino]

No, but my mom called me up in tears this weekend. Rich. You know why? Stephen, did you hear what Aaron Judge said? Like, what he's saying, Mom, I thought she was gonna say something about his elbow injury. She said he said, how could he play with a bunch of bums? And. And he was cursing and using profanities, talking about the Yankees. I'm like, mom, she was in tears. Yeah. She was like, it was so horrible to hear Aaron Judge talk like that. Like, mom, it's AI. It's all fake. Relax. He would never say something like that. How could they do that? And I'm like, well, that's the. That's what LeBron has a problem with. He's suing AI. I don't know. It's become a thing. I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

He's suing AI in general. But my point was there's two quick NBA notes, one being, I'm sure Danny's pumped. Have you seen the trim? Like, ripped Luca?

[Unknown Host]

Dude, over the weekend, I was going to eat some cool ranch Doritos, and I put them back because of the pictures I saw of Luca.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, there's new, like, updated ones because he's been trimmed now for a minute.

[Unknown Host]

Yeah, there's another one from the end of last year.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, good for him.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I was like, I. That scene, like, Kavino, like, ripped Luca.

[Steve Covino]

Nice.

[Rich Davis]

And number two, this is also a couple days old, but, you know, we had a long weekend. Did you see when the NBA wished Karl Malone a happy birthday and Wemby retweeted someone that was like, yeah, nah, I'm not getting behind that. And I wonder why Karl Malone, when it's so open that when he was 20, he impregnated a 13 year old. Like, how is he the exception that no one seems to. I mean, no one seems to harp on that.

[Steve Covino]

Like, I mean, people harped on it because he was part of that dream. And, you know, I know that some of the players sort of turn their back on including his jersey in certain areas and things like that. Like, it's a story. But yeah, I guess when so much time has passed, like, there's. There's always stories like that that creep up and we always chalk it up to it was a long time ago.

[Rich Davis]

But I'm just saying, like, for all the stuff, like, you know, players get crap all the time for things they do on and off the court, off the field.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, it's like every old school song you hear talks about young girls. Get out of my mind. And it's always like some weird, like, teenager.

[Unknown Host]

And rich. He was never in handcuffs because the parents didn't press charges and they settled. They settled out of court.

[Steve Covino]

That was it.

[Rich Davis]

But yeah, Danny, it's. It's like we all know Elvis Presley. There have been legends that have, you know, leaned way too young. But the simple fact that because the parents never press charges, like, we just sort of. I'm not saying we do, but society in general, for the most part, karma loan is not a dirty word in the NBA. Like, they're still wishing him a happy birthday. Meanwhile, like, you know, if charges are pressed, this guy would be behind bars. So just a deep thought and we'll see you guys manana. Until then. Arriba der baby.

[Steve Covino]

Promised land. Later, guys.
