[Steve Covino]

now we're bringing the madness. We're bringing the prizes. We got prizes to give away. A Monday edition of Mike Tyson trivia. And that being said, I hope you had a Emmanuel Navarrete sort of weekend. He had a big win. But I feel like I was the only vato that watched that fight over the weekend.

[Rich Davis]

Possible. I watched Traitors. I watched paradise, which I caught up on Paradise. New episode tonight. Danny G. So good. Do you have to say Traitors Faithful? Yeah, I think I do have to say it that way. Yo, the ending. I'm not spoiling anything. But you know what drives me nuts about reality shows? When people, like, get all butthurt about it. Like, but you lied. That's the show, you idiot. The show is to lie.

[Danny G]

Which that's the reason so many people couldn't stand Bachelor pretty much right off the bat. Because by season two, we had contestants whining about the process. You've seen the show. You know how it goes.

[Rich Davis]

Danny, you're right.

[Danny G]

Can't be with more than one person at a time. Shut up. That's the show.

[Rich Davis]

When someone on Traitors. I'm sorry, stop. Says something like, I can't believe you lied to me. And the show is called Traitors. It's equally as dumb as when someone on a dating show is like, you're right. Butthurt that the guy's dating other people like you, moron. This is what you signed up for, you bobo.

[Steve Covino]

Well, before we. Speaking of bobos, that's Rich Davis. Yeah. And I'm Kavino. Sam is here, Danny's here. Lo and Cron's here. We're letting. Letting you FOX Sports Radio Nation get some pain off your chest. Oh, some hatred off your chest because, well, Shia LaBeouf did it this weekend. Hates Mike Piazza. He was snubbed 90 times he says, by Mike Piazza, as a kid, you

[Rich Davis]

don't have to play the hall of Fame. Just the beginning is funny, Sam. I remember trying to get Mike Piazza's autograph. Yeah. You know, I mean, for my whole life, Mike Piazza, were you waiting outside the fence every day?

[Steve Covino]

This guy, bro. So, yeah, we used to go to

[Rich Davis]

Dodger games, Big Brothers program.

[Steve Covino]

Used to get these tickets, out you go. You think he ever approached Piazza for an autograph? And Pia, he was like, just do it. Just do it.

[Rich Davis]

Like, nah, on the doctor hat. Just do it.

[Steve Covino]

No, no. Well, hey, maybe he just seemed angry and Piazza was like, I ain't got time for that because Piazza is a nice guy. I don't know. Well, I'm not saying it's not true. It happened.

[Rich Davis]

It's really funny.

[Steve Covino]

So what's your story? And then we'll move on because we have other stories to tell. Again, I have some NBA insight in the form of don't believe the hype. There's a few stories that are viral, and you're like, that's not what happened really, at all. Hey, that's my opinion.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Danny G. As you. As you said, one of our listeners pointed out, this is not creative writing. This is not.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Scott, in our YouTube channel chat, wrote, what is with the callers today? This isn't creative writing class with laughing emojis.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, ready? I'll give you how it's done. I hold a lot of resentment, but I.

[Sam]

But I.

[Steve Covino]

Again, I use these things as motivation. Like, I never forget. I don't hate anybody.

[Danny G]

Covino in Sherman Oaks, California, is on the line.

[Steve Covino]

All right, on my radio come up. It was a big deal to make the station radio station calendar. And it was one particular photo I was in, and someone trying to hold me back edited me out of that photo. So I was not in the radio station calendar because someone cut me out of it because they felt the need to.

[Danny G]

They were oppressing you.

[Steve Covino]

I hate that person, kind of. But I use that as motivation. So I say today, F them, but thanks for making me better.

[Rich Davis]

What? Pro athlete or beginning, middle, end? See, that's a story.

[Danny G]

And you didn't give a year. You didn't say what color shirt you were wearing in the picture.

[Steve Covino]

But you have to imagine that hurt my feelings as a young guy just trying to feel like he was part of something.

[Rich Davis]

Pro athletes or anyone that you have a weird, irrational hate for.

[Danny G]

We have to let Joe in Minnesota finish his story.

[Rich Davis]

Joe, what's up?

[Caller]

All right, lesson learned, guys.

[Rich Davis]

I love you, Joe. What's up, man?

[Caller]

Hey. All right. So mowing lawns. Mowed the lawn across the street from Sterling Sharp. As he was coming out of his house, he was like, hey, get my next. And I was like, yeah, blah, blah. He's like, how much? $20. Was like, all right. So I saw that guy at Lambeau field was like, hey, you cut my lawn. Can I get an autograph? And he's like, nah, man. I'm like, all right. Fifth grade, I go back, I see him the next day. I'm like, hey, I mowed your lawn. Can I get $20? You owe me $20. And he's like, I don't know you, man. He blew me off.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Third time.

[Rich Davis]

You have a real problem with my

[Caller]

mom at the grocery store, I was like, hey, it's Sterling Sharp at the cops. Food.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Detail. It's important.

[Caller]

I was just like, hey, man. Like, that's the guy who owes me $20. My mom's like, that's Sterling Sharp. Sterling Sharp owes you $20? I'm like, yeah, I mowed his lawn. And he looks over. He's like, you didn't mow my lawn, man.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, I want my $2. Where's my $2?

[Danny G]

With interest. That's $2,350.

[Steve Covino]

That's a BS story, bro. I'm mad for you, dude.

[Rich Davis]

I hope he.

[Steve Covino]

I hope he gets word of it, man.

[Rich Davis]

Sterling Sharp is going to hear about this. Yeah, let's. I'll take a couple more quickies. What do we got, Danny?

[Danny G]

Neil in Virginia.

[Rich Davis]

Yo, Neil. Hey, buddy.

[Caller]

Yeah, what's up, fellas? As always, y' all are the truth. I don't personally. I don't personally hold grudges, but I hold them for other people. And I've been holding this one for about three weeks, ever since Colin stole Fernando.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, you know what? I appreciate that. Colin Keller stealing Fernando. All right, who else we got?

[Danny G]

All right, let's wrap with Brett in Vegas.

[Rich Davis]

Brett, what's up, buddy?

[Caller]

What's going on, guys? Big fan.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, thanks, man.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, buddy.

[Caller]

Disneyland. See the Lopez brothers, Burke and Robin walk around. Can't miss them. Or, you know, seven footers. And I go up to them to say, hey, can I just get a picture? Didn't want autograph. And they kind of blew me off, like, no, no, get out of here. They give me dirty look, and, you know, my ex wife, and they all give me a hard time. Like, just leave them alone. Like, do the celebrities. It's just peep Cut. Anyways, we. You know that western restaurant where they do like the show at Disneyland?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

So we go and sit in there to watch a show and eat food and lo, behold, the Lopez brothers walk in the back door and they put in a little separate booth up there by themselves. Well, the guy starts doing the show and he's picking volunteers. Well, he picks Brook Lopez to go up there and be Paul Bunyan. And so he goes up there, puts on the hat, and then he sees Meers of the cake. Why don't you come up here and you can be Grizzly Adams or whatever. So I would have been face. Now I'm standing next to Brooke Lopez the whole time and he's looking at me. I look at his smile like, hey, I'm getting that picture now, aren't I?

[Steve Covino]

So funny, dude, it's so stupid.

[Rich Davis]

I told you I'd get that picture.

[Danny G]

Somehow, Mr. Bunyan, the awkwardness turned into a photo.

[Rich Davis]

That's funny.

[Steve Covino]

So funny.

[Rich Davis]

Good one, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

You know what? Glad you got it off your chest. Continue doing so at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

Who knew Piazza and Shia LaBeouf would start all this?

[Steve Covino]

And respectfully, and to be fair, there's two sides to every story. And like we said, to start this off, I think he'd give people two chances because you. You gotta assume that not everyone's got the time. Or maybe they're having a bad day. Maybe your timing was off. So either way, thanks for sharing. And if you get the chance to watch this Shia LaBeouf interview, oh, my goodness, that dude is wild.

[Rich Davis]

Fantastic, Fantastic. And you know what, you said what to watch this week we got the World Baseball Classic. Baseball, you know, spring training games. I think we're seeing some funny moments. I know it's spring training, so it's easy to have funny moments. But have you noticed a few times where the ball strike the automated ball, the ABs has got some laughs. Like there was one where Schwaber knew he struck out. He's like, you got me. He just waited there. And there was another one where his point zero, like point zero one inches. Like, how do you.

[Steve Covino]

I've seen a few of those. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, in the regular season, when it matters, I think the attitude will be a little different. But I think right now people are like, oh, damn, this is sort of fun. So we'll see how that works out. Baseball heating up. And Danny G. I know you and I, Kavino, you like it, but not as much as us. Paradise. New episode tonight.

[Sam]

Sorry.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. I don't hate on it. It's good.

[Rich Davis]

Sterling K. Brown's legit. It's good show.

[Steve Covino]

All right, so enjoy that. And there's a few stories that I want to bring the truth to.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, these are three things you wrote down.

[Steve Covino]

NBA related. Seasons heating up. Like we said before, time to shift your focus, if you haven't already, to some good NBA, right? But there's one story where Steph Curry's out with a knee injury and Draymond Green is china hype his team back up. And that whole time they're saying that Steph Curry, you may have seen the clip and not realize what was going on. It's where Steph is wearing that beige outfit in his hat. They're saying Steph Curry was side eyeing Draymond Green the whole time, like, almost as to disrespect what he was saying and what he was doing.

[Rich Davis]

And that's a headline.

[Steve Covino]

Curry's blank side eye at Draymond steals the show and the warriors loss. So the warriors dropped the 129, 101 game to the Lakers. Curry's getting reevaluated in 10 days, but the story is how he's side eyeing Draymond Green. So is there trouble in paradise? And when you watch the clip, right, Because I've heard. I even heard about this. I'm like, I heard about it. I saw this clip. I saw the headline. I'm like, let me watch this clip for myself. All you see is Draymond Green trying to get his bench fired up and Steph Curry, like, nodding his head like,

[Rich Davis]

yeah, yeah, A nothing burger.

[Steve Covino]

It's a nothing burger. So I mean, this is my interpretation. You know, how people see the same thing and interpret two different things. You know what? I see nothing. I see nothing. Then there's another story. Next story, kind of similar. Is this, like, are we grasping at straws here to, like, get a headline?

[Rich Davis]

I think so. Get attention, because they need some excitement.

[Steve Covino]

There's another story where JJ Redick and Luka go back and forth. The story is they definitely don't like each other. But here's the headline.

[Rich Davis]

This is hilarious.

[Steve Covino]

Luca had to be held back from JJ Redick.

[Rich Davis]

Held back.

[Steve Covino]

And I'm like, all right, hold on. So intrigued. Yeah. So all right, now I got to see this. And again, you know, I get it. If it bleeds, it leads. And what's the term? We were duped. We were duped, but we were baited.

[Danny G]

Bamboozled.

[Steve Covino]

We were bamboozled. But I guess clickbait, right? So, you know, you click and you

[Danny G]

say about my hood.

[Steve Covino]

That's not what happened at all. And here's what I think people need to keep in mind. Like, are we a bunch of sports weenies? Like, this is the heat of the battle. You're in the moment. There's no time for pleasantries. If JJ Redick and Luka look like they're in an intense moment. Yeah, they're playing a game they're trying to win. This is sports. You're not trying to be polite in those moments. They're at battle and they're in the moment. And then in the locker room later on and after the game. Yeah, they're cool again. Everything's normal. But in that moment, there's no. Yeah, there's nothing cordial. They're just trying to get a point across.

[Danny G]

It's like when Rich curses us out during the commercial breaks.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's just part of the game. It's just how it is. It's like, did you ever play sports at the. Even at the lowest levels when you're just trying to get your team hyped up? Luca did not have to be held back from JJ Redick. Like, this is not what's happening even at all. Danny G. You saw the clip. I'm sure you saw that they were definitely like, there's disagreement going on.

[Danny G]

Agreement.

[Steve Covino]

They're in the moment.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Whether Luka didn't want to be pulled out of the game at that time or whatever.

[Steve Covino]

Grabs him by the wrist or whatever.

[Danny G]

He was trying to tell him something about something that had just happened on the floor.

[Steve Covino]

It looks like Luka blows him off a little bit.

[Danny G]

Luka went to the bench. The bench. Players kind of grabbed him, like telling him, let it go, dude.

[Steve Covino]

But that's it. That's the story. And we're talking about high intense moments in the NBA. These guys are battling for their careers, battling for the reputation, battling to win. You're going to really focus on that. The fact that they had a disagreement in that moment, like it's such a. Again, a nothing burger.

[Rich Davis]

Can I.

[Steve Covino]

A total non story. And then the third biggest lie of the weekend before. Third biggest lie of the weekend.

[Rich Davis]

Can I add a fourth? That's not. Because I think we should end on your good one.

[Steve Covino]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

I'm reading this as a Mets fan. Tell me what you think of this because this applies to every team.

[Steve Covino]

So number one, Steph was not side eyeing Draymond Green. Number two, no one was holding back Luca as if he was about to punch JJ Redick he was sitting down. Non story.

[Rich Davis]

I saw a headline that, that again, these are. I think we're at a point where like sometimes the. The headline again, clickbait, trying to get you right. Former met Ron Darling, who by the way was great in shallow hell. Ron Darling sends a message to Kodai Senga. Like who sends a message. What is this now? Mets pitcher code. I Senga, who as you know at times has seemed pretty unhittable and then other times like the most hittable with his ghost fork ball. Right. You know Senga. Senga wants to pitch. He. The Mets are essentially doing a six man rotation because Senga wants to pitch on a six day rotation. So now Ron Darling just came out and said here's my feelings. Senga's been here a couple years. There should be a five man rotation. The rotation should not work around him wanting an extra day anymore. It's plain and simple.

[Steve Covino]

That's his opinion. He's an analyst.

[Rich Davis]

Former pro World Series champ sends a message to Senga.

[Steve Covino]

No, not really. No, not at all. How do you feel about that as a broadcast?

[Rich Davis]

How do you feel about that when you have all you have?

[Steve Covino]

Honestly, if he's going to perform better with that extra day rest, I think you give it to him.

[Rich Davis]

But then how do you.

[Steve Covino]

But everyone else got to prove that he. That it works.

[Rich Davis]

But would you agree that everyone else should stay on their rotation? Like how do you. If one guy wants a six man rotation.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, pitchers are very particular. So if it's throwing everyone else off their routine, what if like. Yeah, you don't make exceptions for one dude. But if everyone's cool with it, what if everybody.

[Rich Davis]

What if Clay Holmes and Peralta and these other guys like, yeah, we don't want a six then?

[Steve Covino]

No. Yeah. Then no.

[Rich Davis]

Like you're accommodating one guy and I

[Steve Covino]

bet Ron Darling's coming from that perspective.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

I agree.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

But here's the best and Rich, we

[Danny G]

see that with all the fan bases. Really quick. I think a lot of the YouTube sports reporters have kind of.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Murked up the waters because I saw a story the other day that said new Raider coach Kubiak sends a strong message to Ashton Genty.

[Rich Davis]

You're thinking like, oh man, he's putting the smackdown.

[Danny G]

And then I knew, I bet this is BS and I clicked on it. And he's like, I don't want it to be a one man show where we wear down our star running back. We need another back in here.

[Steve Covino]

Dude, that's a strong.

[Caller]

Get out of here.

[Steve Covino]

With these crappy headlines. It's just clicking. The slow death of social media and the Internet as we know it. We're less likely to keep coming back once we realize because we know, like, this is all bs. Every video we watch is AI. Every article we read is clickbait. You're looking for the juice and you're like, that's the juice.

[Rich Davis]

Remember what killed MySpace? Too much BS and social media in general is becoming one big cesspool of fake nonsense and clickbait.

[Steve Covino]

We're gonna get back to normal reality prior to social media taking over our lives as a result of all this. So the silver lining is we're gonna get to the point where enough's enough and we're sick of this type of stuff.

[Rich Davis]

So what did George Bush say back in the day? Fool me once can't get fooled again

[Caller]

fool me once, Shame on.

[Steve Covino]

Shame on you.

[Sam]

It fooled me.

[Steve Covino]

We can't get fooled again Fool.

[Rich Davis]

The end.

[Sam]

You can't.

[Rich Davis]

You can't give me an Ashton Genty BS headline, Then give me a Ron Darling BS headline and then give me a oh, JJ Redick and Luka needs to be torn apart.

[Steve Covino]

And this Steph Curry thing, like, get out of here. And then the third or fifth now, because we've added a lot to this

[Rich Davis]

list, by the way, the Steph Curry one. I'm sorry, Sounds like something not to sound sexy. Look at the video. It sounds like something your wife would say. Like, oh, my God, he looked at me funny, dude. Like, look like, come on.

[Steve Covino]

Here it is. I've seen this a million times. And then when I finally watched it, I'm like, this is what they're saying. The big deal is he's sitting there listening to Draymond Green trying to hype up the bench. That's nothing new. Draymond Green's one of the leaders of the team. I don't think he's side eyeing him. I think he's just acknowledging him. Like, yeah, he's nodding, nodding, nodding. Oh, boy. So anyway, the last nothing burger of a story is this. And I can't believe how big of a story this was over the weekend. If you missed Shia LaBeouf, you might have missed this story. Jim Carrey, or was it Jim Carrey is in France accepting a Caesar Award, which is like their version of an Academy Award, like a lifetime achievement award. And he shows up to the red carpet in France and he looks different. I acknowledge that. But you could see with your eyes that it's still Jim Carrey. He just looks a Little different. Like a little different.

[Rich Davis]

And he accepted the award speaking French, which I thought was impressive.

[Steve Covino]

So his demeanor was a little off or a little different. And he looked a little different. But you know what? Jim Carrey is 64 years old. Do we expect him to look the same as he did in Liar Liar? Are we expecting him to be the same Jim Carrey? Like are we all living under this false pretense that no one in Hollywood ages.

[Rich Davis]

Hate to tell you he's older. Hate to tell you, Ace ventura is over 30 years ago. Same with Dumb and Dumber.

[Steve Covino]

Everybody's getting older.

[Rich Davis]

Guys, Guys. That what you're thinking of? 30 something year old Jim Carrey in the 90s. He's in his 60s and we're talking

[Steve Covino]

about a true treasure. A guy known for his face and his mannerisms. Mannerisms, Expressions. His expressions. And yes, it's noticeable. He looks different. What's surprising to me is that it seems like Jim Carrey caved in because he seemed anti this type of behavior. But he caved in and got some work done. Okay.

[Danny G]

Yeah. The skin around his eyes stretch.

[Steve Covino]

Is this the first time we've seen someone look a little different? No. Does it still look like Jim Carrey? Yes, but a little different. But if you read the feedback and the overall story. Yeah, but the whole story is that it's a clone.

[Rich Davis]

It's a clone.

[Steve Covino]

It's not even him.

[Rich Davis]

Then there's rumor that double. Yeah, there was a rumor that Jim Carrey was killed because he knew some insight about the Epstein files. And like this, like, it's not a clone.

[Steve Covino]

It's not Holly Weird got to him. It's Jim Carrey got older. He got a little work done. Is. Has everyone lost their mind? What a non story yet, sir. Surprising that he looks a little different.

[Rich Davis]

Whoopity.

[Steve Covino]

Do we all do. Okay. He doesn't look that bad. It's so blown out of proportion. It's not a clone. It's not an alien. It's Jim Carrey. He got older. The end.

[Rich Davis]

This is a great conversation. You should call like punch yourself for give yourself a karate trap.

[Steve Covino]

Does anyone really think he was cloned?

[Rich Davis]

Do people really think this? Oh, the same people that think J.J. redick and Luka are about to go at it.

[Steve Covino]

If you read the feedback, everyone thinks he like I'm like, is everyone that dumb? Or does everyone think like people really have these? Ma', am, I do believe in stunt doubles. Like as a form of distraction or detraction. Like, hey, let's, let's, let's fool everybody and think Jim Carrey's walking out this way and have his double go. I do believe super famous people have stunt doubles. I get that. But do you really believe that this is some sort of clone? And they got to him when.

[Rich Davis]

The minute I heard him talk. The minute. The minute I heard him talk, I'm like, that's Jim Carrey. But for a minute I was like, ooh, what if he played a trick on everyone and had someone wearing prosthetics or something? But the minute you hear him, how

[Steve Covino]

about maybe he looks different for a movie role. That's a possibility.

[Rich Davis]

He did portray Andy Kaufman in the

[Sam]

man on the Moon.

[Steve Covino]

Who was he? Kaufman.

[Sam]

Right.

[Steve Covino]

Like he's a method guy. Maybe he did something for the sake of a role. And we're all sitting here, Andy Kaufman.

[Rich Davis]

A lot of people thought he faked his own death, but he. No, he really did die clone.

[Steve Covino]

So for all we notice is something for a role because, oh, he's signing his autographs. Different. His eyes are different color. Oh, his demeanor is different. Maybe he's in the middle of a method process that we don't know. But again, a nothing story blown out of proportion. And it just goes to show you, maybe we will get back to a normal life when we realize everything we're reading and duped into looking at is BS Facts.

Hey guys. Hey, how are you guys? Great to see you guys. Hey, who that guy? That Isaac Lohenkron, I call him Isaac Lovincron. I love that guy.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Mike, about that, you're a wonderful man. About that thing I said about you on the air back in 2004. I was just joking.

[Mike Tyson]

Well, I'm happy to hear that because I have this irrational hatred towards you. But now I feel very, very good about that.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Mike Tyson]

Hey guys. So anybody watch the Navarrete fight this weekend? It's me.

[Rich Davis]

You still get a spar with Mayweather coming up right?

[Mike Tyson]

[Danny G]

Will you be in on our show? Is a good promo for the fight?

[Mike Tyson]

Absolutely.

[Steve Covino]

How are you?

[Danny G]

Daniel? Say what's up to Tyson.

[Caller]

What's up Tyson?

[Mike Tyson]

Hey, how's it going Daniel?

[Steve Covino]

All right, let's do this.

[Danny G]

Here are the rules for Iron Mike trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champ. If there's a tie, we have a tiebreaker question. Your name is your buzzer but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are. If there's two wrong answers in a row, we move on to the next question.

[Steve Covino]

Are you ready?

[Rich Davis]

Let's go.

[Steve Covino]

Let's get it On.

[Mike Tyson]

All right, Mike Tyson here. It's always a pleasure guy. Thanks again for having me, Danny G. So health is very, very important. What's my favorite healthy entree? Is it A, vegan spaghetti? Is it B, mushroom burgers or C, eggplant parmesan?

[Rich Davis]

Daniel.

[Danny G]

Daniel.

[Caller]

C. No, Rich.

[Danny G]

Rich for the steal.

[Steve Covino]

Mike, do you like mushroom burgers?

[Danny G]

No. You're both losers.

[Mike Tyson]

I love vegan spaghetti.

[Steve Covino]

Vegan spaghetti.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

What's the difference between vegan spaghetti and spaghetti? Isn't spaghetti already vegan Meat sauce?

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

There's no meat sauce.

[Rich Davis]

Just veggies.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Yeah, but that's the sauce, not the spaghetti.

[Rich Davis]

Spaghetti.

[Mike Tyson]

Yeah, Vegan spaghetti.

[Danny G]

Called vegan spaghetti.

[Rich Davis]

Don't question them.

[Mike Tyson]

Don't tell me my favorite. You can't tell me what my favorite is.

[Steve Covino]

What you gonna do?

[Danny G]

All right, nobody on the board yet. We go to round two.

[Mike Tyson]

Round two. I once famously said, what about failure? If I base success off of my romances, life would be 90% failure. B, when I was young, I had to knock out my opponents by the third round or I considered it a failure. Or C, in order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly. What did I say about failure?

[Caller]

Daniel.

[Danny G]

Daniel.

[Caller]

I'm gonna go with B.

[Danny G]

B.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Rich Davis]

Wanna take a swing at this one, Isaac?

[Isaac Loewencrum]

I want it to be A, Isaac, by the way, but I'm gonna say C. Yes.

[Danny G]

Lo and Cron on the board.

[Mike Tyson]

That'll be right.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

I think 90% was a little low with you, Mike.

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Mike Tyson]

In order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

All right. That's true.

[Danny G]

So Isaac on the board, as we go to round three.

[Mike Tyson]

Round three. In what year was women's boxing first featured in the Olympic Games? Women's boxing. Is it A, 2012? B, 2008, or C, 2004?

[Rich Davis]

Rich. Rich, 2008.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Danny G]

Ah.

[Caller]

Daniel.

[Danny G]

Daniel for the steel.

[Caller]

A.

[Danny G]

A is correct.

[Caller]

Bam.

[Mike Tyson]

Hey, speaking of women fighting, what do you think of Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano?

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Nothing.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's gonna be. I think I'll watch on Netflix. You guys will watch, right?

[Mike Tyson]

Absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Why would you not?

[Danny G]

Okay, so Daniel and Isaac both on the board. We go to round four.

[Steve Covino]

Round four.

[Mike Tyson]

What is the maximum weight of a cruiserweight in pro boxing? Is it A, £180, B, £200, or C, £220?

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Isaac.

[Danny G]

Isaac for the win.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

I'll take a guess. 180.

[Steve Covino]

No.

[Jason Smith]

Oh.

[Caller]

Daniel.

[Danny G]

Daniel. Doors open for A. W. I'm gonna

[Steve Covino]

go for C. No, you're both on the sorry.

[Danny G]

Even £200.

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Mike Tyson]

And the Mexican monsters fighting. I love the Mexican monsters fighting. Zerto in May. May 2. For a cruiserweight title.

[Danny G]

Let's see if we can break this tie between Daniel and Isaac. We go to round five.

[Mike Tyson]

By the way, you know who the quintessential cruiserweight was in my day?

[Danny G]

Who's that?

[Mike Tyson]

Evander Holyfield. Then he beat my ass.

[Danny G]

All right, round five, Mike.

[Mike Tyson]

Round five.

[Rich Davis]

You took a souvenir.

[Mike Tyson]

Which actor did Entertainment Weekly crown as the best to ever portray a boxer?

[Sam]

Ooh.

[Mike Tyson]

Which actor did Entertainment Weekly crown as the best to ever portray a boxer? Is it A, Russell Crowe? Is it B, Sylvester Stallone? Or C, Michael B. Jordan?

[Caller]

Daniel.

[Danny G]

Daniel for the winner.

[Rich Davis]

B.

[Danny G]

No.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

What?

[Danny G]

Lots of swings and misses today.

[Rich Davis]

Again. Isaac.

[Danny G]

Isaac for the W. Yes.

[Steve Covino]

Michael B. Jordan.

[Rich Davis]

Isaac. Congrats.

[Mike Tyson]

Congratulations. He's a wonderful man. He had a very big weekend at the Actor Awards for Sinners.

[Steve Covino]

Sinners.

[Mike Tyson]

Very good movie. Thank you. Hey, congratulations, Isaac. You're a good man.

[Danny G]

Lowencron gets the W. And, Lowencron, you're in Mike's good graces again.

[Mike Tyson]

It's good to see you again, Isaac.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Yeah, you too, there, bud.

[Mike Tyson]

All right, bud. I'll see you in the Republic of Congo.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Yes.

[Danny G]

And Daniel in Virginia. Thank you for playing the game.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, Daniel.

[Steve Covino]

Thanks, guys.

[Mike Tyson]

Thank you. Guys, remember Democratic Republic of Congo, April 25.

[Rich Davis]

You're the only person I've talked that's talking about the Congo.

[Mike Tyson]

Congo Bongo. Later, guys.

[Rich Davis]

Later. Congo Bongo. Later, buddy. Bye, Mike.

[Steve Covino]

Did he say Congo Bongo? You guys remember that game?

[Rich Davis]

Of course. I got to ask, Kavino, I know you're a big fight fan. What if the boss really did say, kavino, do you want to go cover the fight in the Congo?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, what did one of our old bosses say? Do it for the stories. Shout out to Stevie Cohen, who told us years ago. Yeah, for the stories, or as they say nowadays, for the plot.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, do it for the plot. Do it for the story. Imagine the bosses like Kavino, that might be crazy to send you out. You get to interview Mayweather and Tyson, but you have to go to the Congo.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, man. Yeah, you might get malaria.

[Danny G]

I was going to say you might need three shots before you travel.

[Rich Davis]

No, I'll be honest. I bet you. You probably do need some type of shots. Like, you know, when people go on African safaris, you ever have someone go, one of your friends go on their honeymoon to Africa, they have to go through a whole series of shots, and

[Steve Covino]

that is an Exhibition fight, guys, if you didn't know, it's Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather. April 25, Democratic Republic of Congo.

[Rich Davis]

The Congo. All right, well, with that said, and

[Steve Covino]

it's an exhibition fight because obviously Mayweather's also fighting Pacquiao.

[Caller]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

We got a busy year. Busy year for Mayweather. I guess he needs the money. The guy has hundreds of millions of dollars. Who knows?

[Danny G]

It says you need to be worried about yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, polio and rabies.

[Steve Covino]

Wow, man.

[Rich Davis]

That's it, you know, you ever see those stories?

[Steve Covino]

I might have to pass on this opportunity.

[Rich Davis]

Not to sound insensitive, but you ever see those stories where, like, someone's walking through the village, like, back to their village or the jungle, and they're like, where'd they go? And they found out they got eaten by, like, a snake. Have you ever seen those stories? And it's like, oh, they cut open the. They cut open this huge, monstrous python and they found your aunt. Wild stuff. Maybe we shouldn't go to the Congo. Let's go to Isaac for an update. Isaac, how are you?

[Steve Covino]

Isaac?

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Well, it's very coincidental you should bring that up because we have a similar not kidding item to conclude this report. We start, however, in the relatively comparably tame National Football League. The Houston Texans acquiring running back David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks. The Texans also TR traded offensive tackle Titus Howard to Cleveland for a draft pick. The Lions also released offensive lineman Graham Glasgow. NFL media reports. Los Angeles Chargers pass rusher Khalil Mack will play in 2026. Mack is presently technically an unrestricted free agent in the NBA. ESPN reports Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to return to action tonight against the Boston Celtics after missing 15 games with a strained right calf. Finally, here it is. We have a Florida Gators update. Literally. New Florida football head coach John Sumrall was doing a photo shoot with an actual real life gator when the gator named Helena suddenly lunged at him. Listen.

[Steve Covino]

Whoa,

[Rich Davis]

easy. Helena, chill out. Come on. Look over there. The hell do you think you're doing? Helena, chill out.

[Isaac Loewencrum]

Helena. One Florida gator. Not to be messed with. Back to you guys.

[Steve Covino]

Thank God.

[Rich Davis]

I thought you were gonna say a damn alligator bit my alligator bit my hand.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, my God.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

You wake up ready to start your day, but those pesky aches and pains are already calling the shots.

Or perhaps it's your shoulder reminding you of that top shelf you had to reach at the grocery store. Life doesn't stop and neither should you. But don't worry, that's where leaves got your back. Literally.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I didn't want to cut the

[Rich Davis]

best part.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I didn't want to, ah, I wanted to hear that part.

[Rich Davis]

I know crocodiles.

[Steve Covino]

Is it la la la or yeah,

[Rich Davis]

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's I think it's yeah, yeah, yeah,

[Steve Covino]

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I know they're different, but when you say crocodile, I gotta ask, are there any, anything you remember playing kids sports that stuck out to you? I feel like because of guys like my dude coach ball game and all these instructional videos online, every kid now is instructed, this is not just my dude coach ball game. Every ground ball, it's alligator vacuum to do. You know, if you don't have kids that are in that mix right now, that's the thing. Get down there, kid alligator, you know, and then vacuum into you. So ground ball out in front of

[Steve Covino]

you like the mouth of an alligator.

[Rich Davis]

Like a mouth of an alligator. Alligator vacuum, bring it in. I hear every, every coach say that. Baseball, softball, anything. So alligator vacuum. And I'm telling you, I know I'm not alone.

[Steve Covino]

I just remember my coaches telling me like, try not to hurt anybody.

[Rich Davis]

What are the things you feel like you heard the most?

[Steve Covino]

Covino, we know you're an animal, man. Just don't hurt anybody.

[Rich Davis]

What do you remember hearing the most in little league or Pop Warner football? Basket. Good eye, good eye.

[Steve Covino]

I mean our training and teachings were so ass backwards. Just so elementary back then. Level swing, elbow up, level. Keep your swing level.

[Rich Davis]

If you went to right field as a righty, coaches be like, yeah, you're not getting around on the ball now it's like, no, now you want to go oppo. You want to go oppo.

[Steve Covino]

It's crazy.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm just trying to keep your

[Steve Covino]

bat level and your elbow up and just the basics.

[Rich Davis]

Trust me, I'm so into it. Covino will tell you that probably too much like my, so much of my focus is on coaching these kids and my algorithm Is every single piece of equipment too much?

[Steve Covino]

When you got these busybody dads calling you in the middle of the show, it's like, tell him to beat it and call you when you're done. I think that's a fairy quest, even

[Rich Davis]

though it knows everyone's schedule.

[Steve Covino]

Well, tell me to beat it then. I'm telling you to tell them to beat it. We're doing a show.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. Practice is at 4.

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Like, how is that, like, what we're doing right now? That's the only time. I think it's too much. Other than that, it's the best. I love it.

[Rich Davis]

It is. I think it's the best for kids. It is way other than doing the show. My, my, my focus is like so two dimensional on our radio show and coaching like it is. You get so pulled into it because you realize, you realize you're making here.

[Steve Covino]

You talk about that and traders all day.

[Rich Davis]

This is a damn good show. So it's over now. It's over now. You watch House of Villains.

[Steve Covino]

Next you're going to tell us you love the mets and the 49ers.

[Danny G]

Rich still needs to watch Landman.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. You know what?

[Danny G]

I'll give you my password for Paramount plus.

[Rich Davis]

All right. Danny Landman. I hear it's fantastic. You know what? That must be that. That should be next for me. I'm due for a good show.

[Danny G]

Only a few years behind.

[Rich Davis]

I know. But hey, enjoy your kids. Sports are starting up again. I know. On the east coast, it's still snowy out. It's crazy, right? East coast snowy out. Here, kids are playing sports already again.

[Danny G]

Yeah. And we're running our air conditioners.

[Steve Covino]

I'm telling you, there's going to be a pushback. Here's my prediction. Ready?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Kids at 12 are going to be like, I'm retired. And you're like, you're retired? What do you mean? They're like, yeah. You've been pushing me since I was 3. These kids don't even wipe their ass. And they're playing organized sports. By the time they're 12, they're like, you know what? I had no childhood, Dad.

[Rich Davis]

I quit.

[Steve Covino]

You quit? You're only 12. Well, I retired then. They're so young. They're gonna be spent by this. They're gonna arms gonna be blowing. They're gonna be taught they're gonna need Tommy John surgery by the time they're 11.

[Rich Davis]

I. I'll say this, the one thing I am fascinated by and I don't get suckered into it.

[Steve Covino]

Luckily, Rich's kid is five, six.

[Rich Davis]

He sticks his nose.

[Steve Covino]

He just turned six a month ago,

[Rich Davis]

so not even a couple weeks ago. But it's, you know, it's a fascinating world of social media, I guess you would say, learning aids for sports. Like you need this pad for your batting stance, you need this rope bat. You need this. Oh, for basketball, you need this little thing for drills. For football, you need this.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. You don't want your kid to go without, right?

[Rich Davis]

But I'm saying like when we were kids, Danny G. Do you remember? I remember pitching in high school. You know what we did to stretch? We filled up a tennis ball can with sand. And that's what you did. You did a little behind the. Or like, like a resistance band or something. Now there are products for everything. You could spend thousands of dollars if you bought every stupid thing you saw.

[Danny G]

We were like Rocky working out in the barn, dude.

[Rich Davis]

We were like Rocky in Russia. And today everyone's like Drago into dad smoking a cigarette.

[Steve Covino]

You had Mr. Buttermaker blowing cigar smoke in your face, teaching you the basics. Now it's like former pros are there with these little kids. Rich had a freaking flyover at his opening day parade this weekend for a bunch of little nose picking kids.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, dude, it's, it's, they had fighter

[Steve Covino]

jets for the national anthem.

[Rich Davis]

It's, it's a big deal. Kids, kids, sports, my goodness, you get so wrapped into it. And you should see the flag football scene now. Holy, holy moly, Holy Toledo, Holy Mary mother of God. As they said in goodness. No, but honestly, flag football, legit. You watch these kids, they're, they're zipping the ball, making catches like they're little Odell Beckham juniors. Flag football is the next. It's already a big thing, but I feel like it is going to substantially grow. Like if you think it's getting big now in five years from now, I agree.

[Steve Covino]

There's so many little leagues and they're all making money and kids love it. Dude, Flags co ed a lot of them.

[Rich Davis]

Flag football will be as big as any other child sport within five years. Mark my words.

[Steve Covino]

I agree with you.

[Rich Davis]

Football, baseball, basketball, all that. Flag football. Because any reluctant parent that's like, I don't know if I want my kid to play tackle. We love football. Flag football, my goodness, it's going to be huge. It's great, it's fun and it's fun to watch.

[Steve Covino]

But it is so true. Like it replaced all of this. Replaced us playing tackle football at the park or on your friend's front lawn. And you know, people saw this as an opportunity to make money and then and that's what they're doing. There's leagues for everything.

[Rich Davis]

There's something to be said about what Cavino said though. You do wonder, will it end up in kids sports burnout or is it just replaced like you said? Instead of playing wiffle ball down the street, is everyone just playing baseball five days a week on the field?

[Steve Covino]

Wiffle ball on the street is fun. There's a lot of pressure on these little kids.

[Rich Davis]

Well, hey, maybe we'll continue tomorrow. Have a great Monday night. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Until then, arrivederci baby.

[Steve Covino]

See you in the promised land. Goodbye and later guys.
