And we paid our tributes to Gene Hackman. That being said, hope you had an Adrian Brody sort of weekend. Lamont Roach Jr. Lakers, John Cena sort of weekend. Yeah. The La Luca is looking good, man. La Luca's the two seed. Yeah. So we have lots to get to today. Every Monday, last one standing, some trivia, the game that's sweeping the nation. Your chance to win some prizes, giving away some swiggies. We'll talk about your 49ers, Rich. Maybe some Travis Hunter. But first and first, mostly I want to congratulate all the winners from the Oscars last night. Even though Shamalama Ding Dong didn't win, I feel as though the big winner, Conan o' Brien. I feel like everyone love Conan. In a world where everyone loves to hate, hate, hate, hate. I saw most people saying, yo, Conan's great. And I agree. I think Conan o' Brien is a treasure. He is a treasure. Conan was great. As I mentioned Before, Lamont Roach Jr. Was great against Tank Davis over the weekend, some great fights, some great ufc, some good NBA. We have lots to get to. He was a huge underdog. If you don't know the fight Kavino's talking about, we even called it sort of a tune up fight here on Fox Sports Radio because that's what I guess most thought. I want to apologize. I didn't give that brother a chance. As Stephen A. Smith said, I thought he had no chance. And he came out. He fought a perfect fight, bro. I am here to say I'm sorry. I watched. It was blasphemous. I watched Saturday afternoon when I got back from my kids baseball and softball games and I'm like, ooh, fight time. That's right. This dude, Roach Jr. Oh man, he fought the perfect fight. Came out with a plan, stuck to it. Much like Stephen A. Smith, Stephen A. Covino, Steven Anthony, you know me. I also thought he had no shot, but it's because he was coming up in weight and he's fighting Tank Davis right now. Lamont Roach Jr. Was a champion, is a champion at 1:30. He's fighting 135 superstar Tank Davis, one of the four kings. And dude, he owned him the whole fight. But the controversy was in the ninth round, Tank Davis took a knee. Automatic standing, eight count, automatic knockdown. Then he goes to his corner to wipe the grease from his eye. That was the story. He got his hair did. And again, that's automatic disqualification. Like you can't go to your corner and you can't call timeouts. Okay? So if you want to take a knee, yeah, that's a knockdown. Which means Lamont Roach Jr. Technically should have won the fight because he arguably won the fight. Regardless of anything. They called it a draw. I'm okay with a draw, but really he won that fight. So some good controversial boxing, a good battle. But I have a suggestion. What? If you use Soul Glow, can you go to your corner? That was really just. I don't know if that's in the rule books. That was the problem. I'm not even joking. And by the way, great excuse to play Salt Glow. What's up? Coming to America. So by the way, this, this fight that we're talking about, Roach versus Tank Davis, Cavino is right. Going into the fight, Tank Davis was a minus 1600 favorite, meaning you have to wager 1600 buckaroos to win 100. So he was a monumental huge favorite and it ends up being a majority tie. And Kavino's right. No one took a point away from Tank Davis when he sort of took a knee. And two of the judges gave the round to Tank after he took a knee in that round. So technically, those rounds, instead of 10, nine, should have been nine, nine. And the reality, Covino is his excuse after the fight was, I got Soul Glow in my eye. Not. Not necessarily Soul Glow, but he did say he got his hair done and the greases they use were getting his eyes. And Angel Reese says, yep, happens every time. She actually tweeted about it, but I had it 115, 112 when I watched it again, seven rounds to five, roach in favor. I did think he won, but I was okay with the draw. Right. You gotta. Well, as the great Ric Flair said, to be the champ, you got to beat the champ. Who said it? He said, to be the man. Oh, to be the. Well, you know what I'm getting at. Yeah. But to be the champ, you got to beat the champ. I think he arguably beat the champ, but draws. Okay, the controversy I wasn't cool with. You can't just call timeouts in boxing. You ever get Soul glow in your eye? No, But I have a suggestion, Rich. Suggestion. I haven't used Soul Glow in a long time. I use Suavecito now. I have a funny story, by the way. Okay. But my suggestion is this. We talked about this briefly back in the 80s. They had what they called the Four Kings, and it was the golden era of boxing when you had Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran Leonard probably getting the best of all of them, but they were all great. Now we got four Kings in today's world, and three of them are fighting May 2. In that stacked Turkey Alashi card, you got Ryan Garcia fighting Rolly Romero, Devin Haiti fighting Jose Ramirez, Teofimo Lopez and Barbosa. You got to get Tank Davis on that card and let him run it back with Lamont Roach. Who do you call the Four Kings? Garcia, Haney, Lopez and Tank. Oh, I was. My Four Kings were King Haku King, Harley Race, the Macho King, and King Jerry Lawler. I thought those were the Four Kings. Those are some great ones for sure. Different. Hey, we're going to talk some John Cena, so stick to wrestling. In a minute. I'm the king. But that would be the great solution here. If you got three of the four kings fighting May 2nd in a ridiculous card, get Tank Davis. They got enough money to make that happen. Get him on there, let him run it back, because Lamont Roach Jr deserves it. So you had some great boxing, you had some good ufc it was a nice weekend. I hope you enjoyed it. I said I had a quick funny story. It has to do with your bobo brother in law who I love. Geez, which one? Pick one. I got three of them. Your sister Grace's husband, Chris, Danny G. We went. By the way, I say that respectfully because Dan listens all the time. All your brother. What up, brother in law, Dan. All your brother in laws might have had their ears perk up when I said bozo brother in law. Your sister Grace's husband, Chris. One of the nicest dudes ever. Danny, you probably met him. He's been to my house with his kids. Yeah, that's right. He talks real slow. It's like, get to the point. He's like the sloth at the DMV in that Zootopia movie. So, man had a busy day today. Like, oh man, I'm go get a drink. He does H vac work. He helped me put in my nest thermostat. And he's like, will, what you need to do? I'm like, can you just do it? Yeah, he talks about it. Well, if you take this wire, I'm like, buddy, just please. Dad must kill Rich. Rich wants a whole story in 25 seconds. True. Keep it snappy, man. We live in an Instagram TikTok world. Unfortunately. Don't pull an Adrien Brody and talk for seven minutes. I'm stuck in slow motion. So what you do is you take off your old thermostat. Adrian Brody gives speeches in uber minutes. He's like, yeah, I'll be real quick. I'll keep it short. Seven minutes later, that's how my brother in law is. His bozo brother in law, Chris. Speaking of soul glow getting in your eyes, we all went to a bar to meet up. One of our friends was in a band and they were doing a show, so we were all supporting. And Covino's brother in law shows up. And his face and forehead are red. His eyes look like he has pink eye tomato head. I was like, what is going on, dude? Honestly. I was like, don't touch me, dude. You got pink eye in both eyes. His forehead. Kavita's right. He looked like a damn tomato. You know in a cartoon when like Bluto squeezing Popeye real hard and he turns into a beat. His head was red as could be. Yes. So we're like, chris, what's up man? What's doing? Well, don't touch. I. I was half assed paying attention and I was putting hair product in. But I instead of Grabbing my hair product. He put Icy Hot in his head. Yeah, he had Icy Hot in his head and it, you know, got into his eyes. Why is my head burning? His scalp was beet red. Like you could see, you know his scalp through his hair, bright red. And the whole day and every he was sweating so it was dripping in his face and we're there like, you alright dude? I don't know man, I made a mistake. So if anyone can relate to Tank Davis this weekend, ask your brother in law Chris who one time put Icy Hot instead of hair product. That's like something from a movie actually do that. Yeah, my brother in law did that. And you know what? He found his match, My sister because she once tried to get hair dye off her arm using a magic eraser. It burnt all her skin off. True story, true story. Same, same couple my sister got hair dye and tried to remove it with. Hopefully two wrongs make a right off each other in their clumsiness. And their kids, I was going to say, did they have K? Oh no, their kids are Lanny Pafos. So anyway, that's not how a pound for pound great conducts himself. I like Tank Davis, but that was just straight embarrassing. You know, don't be getting grease in your eye, don't be calling timeouts, know the rules. He's like, I didn't know. You didn't know. The casual fan knows if you take a knee. That's the standing eight. Give me a break. So based on what Camino's saying, if you're, if you're connecting all the dots, had the judges acknowledge that as a knockdown instead of a majority draw, then he goes up, then Roach goes up in weight and he wins and knew but he didn't get that. So again, boxing ending in controversy. You don't say. But it still was a great, great battle and we reaped all the benefits. So you have an exciting couple months coming up. You're like an old white guy from the 20s base. Baseball and boxing, I love it, man. Yeah, yeah. See but that being said, another big story was John Cena and we'll talk about that in a minute. But the big story today, Rich, is that speaking of old guys, a guy that probably loves baseball, boxing and football, Jimmy Johnson retires after 31 years. Stellar career with Fox, 31 years calling it quits. So something he's never going to do again. You know what else happened this weekend? Early in the weekend, Steph Curry had a sweet slam dunk. If you missed it, take a listen. Yabuseli had it stolen by heel to Curry, who never came back. And he dunked it with a right hand. 109, 104. Now, we don't often see that. And after the game, he declared, it's the last one. Did he say, I do declare? He said, I do declare. That is my last dunk. His last Dunkaroo, Rich, your favorite snack growing up. His last Dunkaroo of his career. So with Jimmy Johnson retiring and with Steph declaring it's the last one, we open it up to the Fox Sports Radio Nation. We chop it up, Kavino and Rich style. We ask you, what's something you think you'll never do again, you'll never do again? Because it's a. It's a weird thought because in life there are moments where you feel like you like, like Drew Brees, when you're looking back and you're trying to take it on. You feel in your heart of hearts like Aaron Rodgers when he was leaving Green Bay. I don't think I'll ever do this again. Let me, let me get this mental snapshot in. Let me try to remember this. And then we end up forgetting anyway. Yeah, right. So something you'll never do again. And then, you know, do your best to try to remember those moments because it could be the last time you hold your kid. It could be the last time you give him a bubble bath. What's that famous meme that floated around for years, which was you rode around on your bikes with your neighborhood buddies for the last time, but you didn't realize it and no one ever knew, you know, it was the last time you ran outside to play wiffle ball with your street friends, your childhood friends, and no one ever knew it. So what is something you think you'll never do again? By the way, that's an emotional thought for the parents out there. Like, there will be a last time you hold your kid before they're like, all right, I'm like, you know, too old now. You can't be holding me. But there'll be a last time, Danny, where you pick up little Koa. He's already a beast. But there'll be a time where it's like, Koa picks up Danny now. What are you talking about? Like, bam, bam, bro. He's on the last couple months, hopefully of nursing. And it looks like Brenda is holding a seven year old right now. He's so big. He stood up the other day while he was nursing. I'm not surprised. He's a big boy. How old's Koa He's 17. Yeah, 17 months. But he looks. Could pass for years, but no. So what are those things that you have done for the last time? And I always thought it was sort of cool how Steph opted for the smooth layup instead of the slam. But you know what? I like that he won last time, slam dunk. He didn't do it with a whole lot of authority. I think he could have put a little more oomph into it. But hey, it was a cool moment. I think that's one of the reasons he's never going to do it again. You know, I thought the same thing too. It's like you would. I think it's easy for him, but sometimes not as easy as you think. You ever hear Shaq tell those stories when he was in high school or college? I forget. But he was 6, 11 or something like that and couldn't dunk. You know, it's not as easy as some people think. Either you got the ups or you don't. People like you couldn't dunk. You're 6 foot 11. So based on the Jimmy Johnson done doing broadcasting, Steph Curry said, that's it. You're never going to see another slam dunk from this guy. What are things that you know deep down inside, man, I'll never do that again in this lifetime. Can I say you could never say never. I know Justin Bieber said that, but let me say that too, because we've talked to the great Jim Lampley, speaking of boxing and things you'll never do again. Jim Lampley. You guys remember him as the blow by blow guy on hbo or all the stuff he did with the Wide World of Sports and ABC and everything else. Golf. We've talked to him several times in the past year and it seemed like he'd never do blow by blow again. But that fight card I just mentioned, May 2 with the Kings, he's calling the blow by blow for ring. And it's his return to the ring. And I'm sure he thought he'd never do it again. I mean, I know boxing and wrestling, you know, entertainment versus reality. Jesse the Body Ventura, remember he returned. That's what I'm saying. So you never know. Like, hey, what if some dude threw some crazy money at Jimmy Johnson? You know, what if someone threw some crazy money at Steph Curry? Like, Steph, you gotta do it, you know, I know you can't, but you never know. Like, what if he has a straight up breakaway and he's like, ah, just instincts. Take over one last Time. Rich will never be the young dude on the staff at a radio station hosting nights. Yeah. Ever again. Like the. The young knight guy. Like the. The newest full timer to the squad, dude. Unless my wife leaves me never grabbing random booty again. Yeah. Or like the bar remotes that we used to do back in the day. And then, you know, you would hook up or get a phone number from a random. But you know what, Danny? Never say never. And Kavino makes a point there because we went to super bowl after super bowl after super bowl at Sirius XM when we parted ways there and, you know, ended up doing other stuff. I never thought we'd be doing Radio Row again and all these things. And hey, here we are. Here we are. We're back at it. But you don't ever want to predict a divorce, Rich. So with that, it's like, if you're married, you don't ever want to have to get married again. No. Just ask. Exactly. Seriously. I got one that's sort of, like, sad, but said in a funny way. My dad is a pretty adventurous guy for in his 70s. He was on a vacation a couple years ago, and I can make fun of him a little bit because he's not. He's actually on vacation now, so I know he's not listening. Was that your dad at the Academy Awards last night? Oh, no, it was Mick Jagger. I'm sorry. My dad looks a little like that. Mick was looking swift on his feet. He was. He's gonna live to be 100. Man, that guy's light on his feet. Yeah, dude. He was so personal. 81 years old. You know, he looked fantastic at the Academy. Start doing drugs. But the joke is, Rich's dad looks like Mick Jagger. Little. And also, my dad's a guy that's in his early 70s that thinks he could still play tennis, volleyball on the beach, do this, do that. He's a very active guy, and I admire that. I admire that a lot about my dad. But he hit me up a little while back, and he's like, oh, a little embarrassing, but I gotta tell you, I think I'm done snorkeling. Like, what do you mean you're done snorkeling? Oh, thanks for that update, Dan. He was in. He was in, like, the Dominican Republic or the Bahamas or something with his wife. And he said he popped up out of the water, felt a little disoriented, and the guy had to, like, jump in and sort of help him a little bit. And he had a bit of a panic, and he was all embarrassed. And he's like, I guess that's the indicator. I'm in my 70s. But you know what? I guess I'm done snorkeling. That happens to everybody. You pop out, out of the ocean. Like, the whole group looks so far away. And then you look down and it's like a dark ocean. And you're like, ah. That panic sets in. He's not alone there. What's up? Not alone. Empty feeling. I love how the fish gave him a standing O as he was getting helped out. Like, this was it. Oh, yeah, this is great. There's great send off. Years and years stood at attention. It was great. Last one. Last one was there and saluted him. Way to go, Greg. What a moment. So you know who, maybe you should be in the bends, you know? The bends? Yeah. You don't want that. You got it. You got to keep breathing as you come up. Baby's got the bends. You don't want those bends. Yeah, man. It's a scary feeling when you pop up out of the ocean. You don't see any buddy. Where'd everybody go? Oh, let me ask you this. You're there. You realize that you're in the ocean. It's the worst. I accept. You know, if you talk about people our parents age, when I say that, meaning respectfully, like in her 60s or 70s, does it come a time where you're like, yo, it's not worth it to go skiing anymore because all it takes is one little fall. And you're like, I don't need to be breaking bones at 60, 70 years old. I did that 10 years ago. Haven't been skiing since. So you have called the quits on skiing at 30? Something. No. So this happened January of late January of 2015. I just haven't skied since. But it was like, I wasn't planning on it for a while. Like at least five years now. It's been 10 years. Yeah. But there has to be a point where it is the last time. So things you think you'll never do again. But the reminder here is to do your best. Easier said than done. But do your best to take that mental snapshot so that you can remember these things. Cause we're so quick to forget. And again, this is all based on Curry declaring his last dunk and Jimmy Johnson calling it a career in the booth. All right, we got more Kavino and Rich and your feedback. I love it. Light em up. Phones are hot. We'll get to your calls and social media feedback next. Right here. Kavino and rich on a Monday. We're into March already. Can you believe that?

Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the challenges of being a black Founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.

Thanks again to Ricky for I will expect that next time. Now, based on Jimmy Johnson retiring, based on Steph Curry declaring his last dunk. Yeah. We're posing this question before we get into last one standing, before we talk, John Cena and more. What's something you're pretty certain you'll never do again? And the reminder is you never say never, but always take that mental snapshot just in case the first thing that comes to is a perverted thought. To be honest. It really is. And it's that Joey Diaz thought. Did you ever see that clip of Joey Diaz on the Rogan Show? I sent it to you. It's one of my favorite things. He's looking like he's, he's looking like he's Vinnie Pastor and he's like, you know, Joe, you ever see a girl with oiled up legs looking all beautiful, you ever think to yourself, oh, she's with a 26 year old like guy and, and that you never get a 20, 25 year old girl, you know, he, I'm cleaning it up for you. But the thought that you'll never be with a young woman again in that way as a young man, you'll never do that again. Especially if you're like an older guy in a committed relationship. Speak for yourself. Non. Bill Belichicks. Yeah, I was going to say, I guess you, Bill would have never thought that unless you're Bill Belichick, which is why you never say never. But Joey Diaz in that clip, it's really funny, he describes sort of what Cavino said, which is when you're in your 20s and you know you're just going to be, you know, let's be honest, later, I'm naked all day with this person. Oh, you're like, you're young and you're full of energy and you're, and you're. If that's. Yeah. For many people that'll never happen again. Those days are over. I wrote down a few. Do you want to go around the room real quick. I'm curious, will you ever do these things again? And I'm not making it sound like we're old guys by any means, but there's certain things where unless you're in your 20s, it might be like, yeah, I'm not doing that. Like, would anyone in this room? You might do some of this stuff or relive some of the stuff with your kids, but you might be done. Let me ask you, I'm going to list off a couple things. You tell me, will you ever do this again? Because I think post 20 something, a lot of these things. Like, nah, been there, done that. All right, Covino, you're a rock guy, but will you ever attend a concert in a mosh pit again? Again, I've done it with my kid as a result, but me personally, I think those days are done for me. Can't do it, can't do it. You might end up in one, though, you never know. My thought is, if I'm going to see a concert, I want a nice VIP seating area or like, I want the front row so no one's even in front of me. Like, I'll be in the second level, but front row. I believe David Draymond tells a story like that or something like that he was body surfing or is in a mosh pit, fell on his head and that was it. Never been in one ever again. All right, here's one. As we all get older and you're no longer a 21, 22 year old kid, are you in the business of going away with your pals and like overly sharing rooms? I feel like girls still do that on like a bachelorette weekend, but are you sharing a hotel room with a bunch of other dudes? You're right. These are things that I'm on the cusp of agreeing with you, but I could see happening by accident maybe. You know, I can't say I want to share a room, but is it impossible that I'll never do it again? I don't know. I told the buddy, I told the buddy a couple years ago, we were just going to a game and I go, what do you want to do? You want to share a room? And he angrily was like, we're grown men not sharing a room with you. I've said it about five times in the last six years. Like, we're grown ups here. We don't do it. We're adults. Yeah, come on. How often do you go away? I get it sometimes, like, hey, we're going away the Guy's weekend. Unless it's an Airbnb and you rent a beautiful house, which we've done. Everyone gets their own room in the house. But unless you're on a strict budget, I don't know if we're sharing home. Sharing hotel rooms anymore. People are burping and farting and weirdos and, you know, unless it's by accident, I do agree with you. All right. Are you at this stage of life, ever bouncing on a trampoline again? Like at Sky Zone or something? Dude, I did it because my girlfriend, like, begged me to do it with her little brother. Sure. So I did it not that long ago. I did it recently, and I thought my knees were gonna go on side. I bounced on a trampoline. I bounced high on a trampoline. And then as I was coming down, I'm like, oh, my God, my knees are gon. So again, I can't say no. I can't say never. I really can't say never. They're all great. Like, great situations, great examples. All right? But I can't say, really, like, any of them are impossible. All right, Rich, Talking about knees there with the trampoline, there's a nice Pal Peralta skateboard in my garage. Got the independent trucks, the nice wheels. Got it, like, in my early 20s, because when we were little kids, we BMXed, we skateboarded, we ollied up the curbs and all that. That we're never going to skateboard at this age ever. I mean, Tony Hawk still does it. Respect. He built a career out of it. Tony Hawk not doing that. I got on a longboard, like, a few years ago, and I hadn't skateboarded since I was a teenager, and I couldn't even balance on it because you have to have decent core strength to ride a skateboard. Yeah. And I was like, whoa. Like, I used to skateboard a lot as a kid. I was with my. I was with my nieces and nephews. I might be done with this, but when was the last time you did some type of trick off a diving board? Like, my niece and nephew were like, hey, Uncle Rich, can you flip off a diving board? I'm like, of course I can flip. I think my triple Lindy days are behind me. Screw you, Melon. Yo, I got. I got up on this on, like, the high dive, and I was like, of course I could flip. I flipped and landed right on my back. And I'm like, God, I think I might be done. I might be done with. I'm with you. I'm with Rich on that one for sure. So now we open it up to you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, things that it's safe to say you'll probably, most likely never do again, based on Jimmy Johnson and Curry. And like we said, never say never, because Lampley is back in the booth. Jim Lampley's back. He announced for May 2. One more for you, because I know we all like to go on vacations. You know, vacations change as you get older. And again, not making us like, we're old timers. If you're 30, 40 something years old, are you being adventurous and going far out into the ocean the way you did when you were younger? Hell, no. Like, you know, when you, like, you can't touch your ground, you're like, I'm gonna ride waves and I'm gonna venture out. I'm like, nope, nope. I'm Coral reef is. And yeah, no thanks. Second. I feel seaweed against my leg. I'm like, I'm out. I don't want to be Iowa Sam'd here, so I want to get my. My one in. Staying. I just had one. Staying up until 4am voluntarily? Oh, yeah. Like. Like, even on New Year's Eve. Can't make it to midnight. Absolutely. Like, staying up. I can barely stay up till 10. Yeah. For no reason whatsoever. But you think you're retired from it. Like, never again. Never. Never again. Nickelback style. Never again. I agree with you. But at the same time, Sunday is, like, the only day where I don't have to wake up early for either work or, like, kids, sports and some of that. So Saturday night, if I'm in the zone, like, watching a show. Yeah. But I'm going until I fall. Yeah, four is tough. Four is. But I think we did four. Like, you're watching, playing video games. You're right. Maybe I'm pushing 2 o' clock, and that's crazy. 2 o' clock? Yeah. 2, 3, 4 is sleep till like, 11 or 12 just to get your seven or eight hours in. Yeah, true. The day's already gone. Yeah. Our last listener event, we went to, like, 12:40am and I was like, man, we're out past midnight. All right, I'm gonna call it a night, guys. Let's go to JK in Vegas. What's up, jk? You're on. Cavino and Rich. How you doing, fellas? Hey, buddy. Glad I had a minute to, you know, gather my thoughts here. And I couldn't get it out today. Boy, it was the last time I saw my grandma. The Mental. Picture her window waving goodbye when we left. Dude, that is such a tough one. That's such a great memory, though. And it's like such a grandma thing, because every grandma, like, you don't see them that often, right? So they'd wave on their porch, they'd say goodbye until you drove away. I think all grandmas did that. My grandma always did that. My nana did that, my grandma's always that. And now I see my mom doing that, which is the saddest thing, Right? It's the circle of life. Now when I leave, it's like, bye, Mom. And she's there waving outside the door. Yeah, man, it's sad. You ever see the, the meme, obviously, that says, my childhood punishments are now my adult goals? Going to bed early, not going to a party, not leaving the house. My childhood punishments are now my adult goals. Being alone in your room. Steve in San Antonio, you're on with Kavino and Retro. Hey, Steve. Hey, great show, guys. I love it. Thanks, man. Shout out to Dan Byer and the Airbnb show. I love that one, too. Nice. Great show. I've got a question. Yes, Quick question for everybody in the crew there. Hey, listeners need to know if everyone there at Fox Sports is banged. Okay. Boy, drop dump button, by the way, as long as we didn't get the first half dumped. I don't, That's, Yeah, he loved you. And then said something inappropriate. Yeah. And I was like, wow. Well executed. Because he started as if it was a legit call. So Sam's quick on the button, though. Did you see him? He hit the button on Kieran Culkin last night, too. I don't know if you saw that. I was like, kieran, I wanted to hear what you had to say. Why'd you have to curse like that with Sam on the button? Only if he was good. That with all the buttons. Yeah, I know. I know the buttons. For a lot of people, it might be something as simple as organized sports. You might not ever play organized sports again. You think you're done with that? I don't know. I, I, I, I said for a lot of people, I don't know, me, personally, I don't know. Yeah, but I mean, I, I actively play softball. And you, like, mock it and, and you have no interest in joining anything. So does that mean what also, what, you're going to pick something up? I think you're done. I might join a bowling league someday. I might pick something else up. A new hobby. Who knows what pickleball has in store for this guy? I don't know, maybe you're a pickleball star waiting to happen. James in Nashville wrapped us up. What's up, bud? Hey, Rich Cavino, man. I saw you guys here at the Graduate in Nashville. Good times. Thanks for hanging. Yeah. So I mean, to keep on the basketball train, you know, touching rim. I'm 32 now and I haven't tried touching rim in a year or two. But I don't even know if I can anymore. But I knew that day was coming sooner. Are we talking about your weekend or are we talking about on the court? What are you talking about touching rim all weekend? Those days. Basketball. Basketball. Yeah, James, you gotta remember who you're speaking to there. Basketball. You know what, James, on that note, I mean, come on, you can't say that and expect nothing. Sorry. Get out of it. But we had to dump the other caller though. That's not right. I know. I mean, geez. Hey, you know what you'll probably never do again, Rich? You guys are buddies with somebody at the FCC or whatever. Probably never. Like crank call people like you used to. We would say prank. Your parents would say crank. Yeah, you would probably not prank call someone like you used to as a kid. You know, I used to speak of bowling. It was called Crank Yankers, not Prank Yankers. I know, but we didn't say crank our parents. I used to call the bowling alley as a little kid and I would do the old, hey, hello, mister. Like, oh yeah, you had a Hempstead Bowl. Do you guys have 10 pound balls? Of course we do. You did the Bart step. How do you walk? We used to call 1-800-m Miracle Air and pretend like we couldn't hear the operator. Dude, seriously, those days are done. All right, well, hey, let's go to Dan Beyer for an update. Db, what's going on, man? Guys, The Cincinnati Bengals have a bit of deja vu all over again, placing the franchise tag on wide receiver T. Higgins for the second straight year. Wow. He could play next year for $26.2 million if he signs the tag and the sides don't agree on a long term deal. The Athletic says Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson would be willing to discuss a long term deal with the team despite being unhappy at the end of this previous season. Two time super bowl winning head coach and hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson announced he's retiring from fox after spending 31 years with the network. Super bowl champion Eagles are releasing corner Darius slay, saving them $4.3 million against the salary cap packers resigned linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a two year deal. Note from the NBA is the Dallas Mavericks have informed season ticket holders that the average average price per ticket for next season will increase by more than 8% because of investments made to the team for the team. Auburn remains unanimous number one in the AP Top 25 Men's College Hoops Bowl. Duke is second, St. John's up the six, Texas number one in the women's rankings with USC at number two and UConn third and Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk's gonna miss the rest of the regular season as the Florida star suffered a groin injury in the Four Nations Face Off.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind a movie pass, black founder Stacy Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the Challenges of Being a Black Founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are no Girls on the Internet.

You think Mike Tyson thought he'd get back in the ring ever again? Here I am. I can't believe I'm doing this again. Well, I don't even know why I did it. I know why, Mike. Because they gave you 30 something, $40 million. That's why Steph Curry said, that'll be the last dunk you ever see from a guy that really doesn't dunk at all anyway. Really? So if he was like, it's my last three pointer. That's a story. Steph doesn't really dunk. So also, Jimmy Johnson stepping away. And when you do the math, Jimmie Johnson went straight from winning Super Bowls to going to the booth, because 31 years in the booth. Because Barry Switzer, if you remember Switzer, took over for the Cowboys. And that's when Jimmy Johnson was like, yeah, I'm going to do the broadcasting thing. So he's been there since we were. A lot of us were in grade school. Well, a lot of these are because you physically can't anymore, but some of these are. You're just talking a big game. How many people said, I'm never watching football again? You're like, never, man. I'm never watching one more NFL game. We didn't believe those people when they were saying it. A lot of it's hot air. A lot of it. You just don't know. You never know. So, again, congrats to Jimmy Johnson and Steph Curry for this last dunk. Really quick Shay in Kansas City, he couldn't stay on hold because he's at work, but he wanted to share. He said the last time his parents kissed him good night, said his dad started shaking his hand and. Or as a parent, that is something we were talking about, you know, holding your kid. But, you know, at what age do you start just saying goodnight to him and, you know, there's no more tucking them in and. Whereas Rich does. Rich, you kick Ben out of his bed. Or vice versa, right? Dude, can I tell you, every morning when I drop the kids off at their school, I do a little, you know, a little funny handshake with them, and I give my daughter and son a little peck on. A little peck on the lip. So have a good day at school. It's only a matter of time before my daughter's like, all right, dad, don't worry. You know, our son's like, no more. Even if you're cool. They're like, all right, dad, can you lower your lame music? And no, I'm not blowing you a kiss. And you'll never, like, hold their hand in public again. That's just how life goes. So ever. Never, ever, ever, ever. I don't know. But congrats to Jimmy Johnson. Now, something else that happened over the weekend. Rich, would you partake in a tackle football game? See that? That's what I mean. Like, I say no, I think no, but you never. Oh, Rich. And I just did a whole, like, NFL combine for something on the side. I never thought I'd do something like that, you know, again. You know what? Money talks. You know who hit us up with a really good one? Our pal Mouser in Cincinnati. Say, what about, like, adult drinking games and just Like, I was thinking, I'll never do, like, half hour, hour of power again. Yeah, like, just dangerous. You're not doing, like, the power hour or even like you saw them doing on Love Is Blind, where they all do, like, shots off a yardstick or some crap. Like, are you ever gonna drink in that way? And I said to Kavino, what if your kid's in college and on parents weekend, they're like, come on, dad. You might be like, all right, I might do, like, five to ten shots of beer, but I'm not gonna do the full, you know, 60, 60, 30 or 60, whatever, you know? Yeah, but you. I was saying I'll join in and have a little fun. But, like, if you were that kid in college that did, like, the lewd shot of alcohol, or you were doing, you know, drinking, like, ever. Clear funnels where they don't belong. Yeah. Whoa. It's all right. You'll never stop. I've never started talking about touching rim again. So anyway, think about it. You can chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Throw your answers there. We appreciate it. Now, the other story, besides the Oscars, besides Curry's dunk, besides the Lakers on a streak, besides the Tank Davis controversy, in the world of fighting is John Cena. Everybody talking about John Cena. It was a big story. He's gone. Heel. Yeah. You don't need to be a wrestling fan to realize it was a big weekend for the WWE, gearing up for WrestleMania. And if your kids watch or you watch, it really was a big story. John Cena, I believe, and I feel pretty confident saying, isn't he the league leader in Make a Wish? He's. Yeah, he's one of those guys for sure. He's a guy that is big. He also speaks Mandarin. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it's wild. John Cena is one of those guys that has done so much good, but part of that is tied to the fact that he's been, as they say, the baby face. He's been the good guy for decades. You can't see me. John Cena always been the good guy. And over the weekend, they're saying the biggest heel turn since Hollywood. Hogan brother. So start thinking about the best bad guys in sports history. All right?
