Been doing this forever and we're still the youngest warthogs in the game. Emphasis on hogs. Covino and Rich, CNR on fsr. The greatest show in the land, the world famous cnr. Thanks for being part of it, guys. We're throwing it back today on a Thursday, old school and 50 hits. So 48 minutes from now, we reminisce with you. We're gonna talk some cartoons today. Old school cartoons. Remember waking up Saturday mornings, it's the.
Rich Davis
Best time of your life.

Awesome pancakes, the smell of mom's pancakes. Run downstairs to watch some Muppet Babies. We'll be talking cartoons, but we got lots of sports to talk to and talk about. Hope you had a Rockets Timberwolf sort of night. Cnr. We be rocking out. Let's go.

All right. All right. All right already. All right. Broadcasting live from the FOX Sports Radio studio again, I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis, Danny G, super producing.

Danny G
Hi.
Steve Cavino
And of course on the updates, the greatest in the land. He's got you covered in all things sports now.
Rich Davis
NBA game last night that I feel like left everyone disappointed unless you're a Timberwolves fan. I did love the Anthony Edwards lap.
Steve Cavino
Around crypto, but anytime you run out of gas is disappointing. That's what seemed to happen to the Lakers.
Rich Davis
So we're going to talk about some of the feedback from coach J.J. redick. We're going to go old school like you said, some funny cartoon conversation. There's a dilemma in the NFL that I don't think enough people are thinking about yet. There's an NFL dilemma that you're going to go, ooh, what would I do? It's a matter of.
Steve Cavino
But we were also supposed to talk about records, sports records being broken. So look, whatever we don't have time for, we'll do an over promised. That's later today. 4:00pm on Fox Sports Radio Show YouTube page. 4:00pm on the west, 7:00pm on the east.
Rich Davis
So no. 4:00pm on the West, 7:00pm on the East. Do you say that?
Steve Cavino
7:00Pm on the East, Clean yours out. Yep, that's what I said.
Rich Davis
I do with Q tips. And people say that's not good.
Steve Cavino
Well, you're not supposed to stick them all the way in.
Rich Davis
Nobody's supposed to clean your ears with.
Steve Cavino
I don't know, you need one of those weird things to wash your ears out.
Danny G
Just the tip?
Steve Cavino
Yeah, just the tip, Rich.
Rich Davis
But I have a question. Has anyone bought one of those infomercial items where it's like, here's a camera you can attach to your phone. Can you go in your ear?
Steve Cavino
It works.
Rich Davis
It's amazing and it's fascinating.
Steve Cavino
Man, I wish I had.
Rich Davis
Did you find the work boot? A license plate? What's in there? No, my ears are a lot cleaner than I thought.
Steve Cavino
But those things are cool, I feel like. And they work.
Rich Davis
That would just be careful. Be careful with it, Sam. I'm convinced.
Danny G
Don't poke yourself.
Rich Davis
I see these videos on social media. Like we.
Iowa Sam
I'll give you mine.
Rich Davis
You want it?
Steve Cavino
Can you share those things?
Iowa Sam
Yeah, you can.
Rich Davis
I don't think it's like sharing a toothbrush.
Steve Cavino
No. Rich shares a toothbrush with his wife. Any. Any. Share socks with his wife.
Rich Davis
All right, well, first of all, you can't say something like that without explaining.
Steve Cavino
Does it really need explanation?
Rich Davis
It does, because I don't share a toothbrush with my wife. I sit in a jam. If you're on a one night trip and you're like, oh, crap, I forgot, pass.
Steve Cavino
Dude, you're not supposed to share.
Danny G
She kisses him.
Rich Davis
I think it's, you know, what else she does and what I do.
Steve Cavino
Then you worry about.
Rich Davis
You worried about a toothbrush.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, I mean, that's true, but yeah, that's where I draw the line.
Danny G
Wash socks too.
Rich Davis
Yeah. As the old expression goes, people are willing to blank. But a toothbrush is what you draw the line. It's like celebrities, we don't care about their houses, their cars, their jewelry, their opulence. But Katy Perry goes to outer space, and that's where the line is. Outer space. I guess.
Steve Cavino
I guess so.
Rich Davis
And socks I do share. I'm like that dude from Love is Blind. Remember that? The girl on the show who had a sock bin for the family.
Steve Cavino
But you know what's misleading and unfortunate about admitting that you have a beautiful wife?
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
It makes it seem like she has giant man feet. If you share socks with her. She doesn't. Or you have petite feet. Yeah. Or Rich wears like size Sixes, pink fluffy petite feet.
Rich Davis
I got little tootsies.
Steve Cavino
Rich has little tootsies. He wears finger toe socks with grippy.
Rich Davis
Things on the bottom. There are times where, speaking of spongebob, there'll be Rich's socks. There'll be times where my wife and I will share socks. If they're like a box, a bag of gold toe socks you buy at Target or something.
Steve Cavino
How about you be a man and wear your own socks?
Rich Davis
I don't get it.
Steve Cavino
Rich wears the ones with the little ball on the heel.
Rich Davis
Stop it.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, little, little.
Rich Davis
Stop it.
Steve Cavino
Those little low boy socks got little.
Rich Davis
Poofy balls on the back of my socks.
Steve Cavino
So anyway, let's get into it.
Rich Davis
But I digress. I had a point.
Steve Cavino
You had no point.
Rich Davis
It's possible. Now I'm thinking, did I have a point?
Steve Cavino
Maybe you saved me.
Rich Davis
Maybe you saved me from no point.
Steve Cavino
I know you wanted to jump off the show talking about hood rat things.
Rich Davis
Oh, I did. But now I feel like I missed out on something even better.
Steve Cavino
You got to fast forward sometimes.
Rich Davis
All right, fast forward. Missed the point. There's a story today before we get into all the meat of the show, NFL dilemmas. J.J. redick, old school. I saw a story and I think everyone in the studio has kids or have been around. Nieces, nephews, you know, you got kids in the neighborhood. I want you to put in your mind a seven year old and a five year old. Maybe your kids are that age. My daughter's seven and my son's five.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, not a lot going on with seven and five year olds. Meaning, like they're still little. They can barely wipe themselves. They're still picking their nose.
Rich Davis
Your niece and nephew that live out here in la, James and Gweny, how old are they?
Steve Cavino
They're around the same age, I think.
Rich Davis
Like 8 and 4.
Steve Cavino
Like you wouldn't leave them alone. They're not at that age. You don't really let them out of your sight. Seven and five, that's kindergarten and what, first, second grade?
Rich Davis
There's a headline today. And I was like, this can't be true. 7 year old who wanted McDonald's drives 10 miles with his little sister.
Danny G
Yes, I saw this.
Rich Davis
A seven year old boy was like, hey, come on, I want the new Minecraft toy and some nuggies.
Steve Cavino
You know how hungry you must be.
Rich Davis
Seven year old boy, five year old girl.
Steve Cavino
I blame the parents for not feeding this kid.
Rich Davis
Danny G. We talk quite a bit. You've been to my house. I know your kid. You know my kids. Can you Imagine my son and daughter stealing my car and driving. How is that even possible?
Danny G
Well, you read how it was possible or did you see the news clip?
Rich Davis
They would. They hit things and stuff like that. But was one using the pedals, one with the steering wheel? Like, what do we do?
Danny G
Well, the. I don't know if we're talking about two clips. The one I saw, the kid looked it up on YouTube and that's how he learned how to drive. And it says that he went through like four intersections and didn't hit anything and made it right.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, that's wild because. And courageous because when I was a kid, that was like my nightmare, like my reoccurring nightmare as a kid. Like I was alone in a car and it starts moving backwards. I don't know how to do this.
Rich Davis
That happened to me and my siblings as a kid once. And I thank God that no car was coming. My grandfather ran in the house, like, probably forgot his pack of cigarettes or something. Oh, I forgot my smokes, went in the house. My little brother on that. Remember how back in the day the shifter was on the steering wheel? Of course, my brother just pulled it down. We rolled out of the driveway into the street and thank God no one was coming.
Steve Cavino
I remember. Scary. So imagine how scared you were as a kid, right? I would have never done that. Like, yeah, you had fun maybe messing around, pressing a few buttons. But imagine being courageous or dumb enough. I mean, maybe the kid's dumb for all I know. To think that he could drive at 7 to McDonald's. I don't know how. He's smart.
Danny G
He learned how to drive from YouTube.
Rich Davis
You almost want to give that seven year old credit.
Steve Cavino
That's brazen, man. I don't know. I couldn't have done that. Damn.
Rich Davis
By didn't a little Brody go to get a cake pocket at Starbucks when you said no one's right? Hopped in your cup like, what do.
Steve Cavino
You do as a parent?
Iowa Sam
He would, he loves those things. It's. Oh, it's the worst. Talking about a ripoff.
Rich Davis
How old is your kid again, if you don't mind me?
Iowa Sam
Do we just turn four last year?
Rich Davis
Yeah, that's right. So imagine your kid with another kid a couple years older being like, yeah, that seems impossible to me. But it reminds me of one of my favorite clips from over a decade ago, early days of Kavit on Rich.
Steve Cavino
What's his name? Like Latarian or Latanian.
Rich Davis
Remember the kid that was like, I just want to do hood rat stuff?
Steve Cavino
Yeah, that's right.
Rich Davis
He was also 7.
Steve Cavino
7 year old kid stole his mom's.
Rich Davis
Car and he said it's fun to do bad things.
Steve Cavino
Took you for a joyride. He hit like a bunch of mailboxes and. Yeah. And he got in trouble for it.
Rich Davis
So I just want to throw it out there before we get into the fun of today's show again. NBA, NFL, just if you have little kids, imagine a seven and five year old. I was, Sam, you've been in my house. Can you imagine my kids just hopping in the car? Well, how they went nine miles. That's not. How could the boy's feet even reach the pedals, you know, Rascal style?
Steve Cavino
Locks on it. Yeah. Gas break. Gas break.
Rich Davis
Did the scissor get down there and push the pedals. It's only.
Steve Cavino
Well, that's how that other kid got pulled over. I mean, he had a bunch of things. But the story Rich speaks of where he was doing hood rat stuff, they said that there was several reports of a kid that could barely sit over, see over the steering wheel. So yeah, to me that's amazing that they even made it somewhat, even close to McDonald's. It's also amazing to think that. Well, how many turns and how far was McDonald's? Right.
Rich Davis
Like they made to know.
Steve Cavino
To know the directions. You kidding me? I barely know how to get at McDonald's now.
Rich Davis
It's wild. And again, these stories, you could laugh about them when no one gets hurt. Right? Like that's, that's the really the sentiment of most stories. Right. Like we're sort of on standby now, waiting to see what happens to that poor kid in Pittsburgh that fell out of the stands in right field. Yeah, the rag doll.
Steve Cavino
We all could agree, like, man, there's nothing funny about that. And we could all agree that we're hoping for some good news. I know he's under critical condition right now, but the debate is, did he jump or did he fall? No, he fell.
Rich Davis
He fell. He jumped up. He jumped up, but fell.
Steve Cavino
That makes a lot of sense, but it still looks like to me like he got one leg up on that rail. I get what you're saying, and that makes a lot of sense, but my eyes are seeing something totally different.
Rich Davis
Imagine if you're drunk, which I think we've all been at least one.
Steve Cavino
Well, there was a Reddit article that came out and a lot of people are saying that he was totally drunk, spilling beer all over himself. And then in that moment of excitement, he got. Got up so fast that his momentum took him forward.
Rich Davis
Yeah, not, not to make light of it. But an inning before. Covino's, right? They said that he ripped his own shirt off, poured beer over his own head.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
He was in the zone, like, maniac mode. And then picture this. You're that drunk. Big play in the game.
Steve Cavino
You spring out of your seat.
Rich Davis
Of your seat. He sprung out of his seat. So far, not to make light of it. Sprung up.
Steve Cavino
Whoa.
Rich Davis
Like, just. And you're in balance. You don't have your balance on. You don't have your feet under your.
Steve Cavino
So, yeah, that all makes sense. But that's not what you kind of see, though, right? Like, I don't know, it looks different. Everything you're saying, Rich, that makes total sense and seems possible, but we're all wishing him the best.
Rich Davis
What I'm hoping for is that the point is he's.
Steve Cavino
He's hurt. You can't really make fun of that. I'm saying, thank goodness these kids are safe. So, yeah, let's have fun at their expense.
Rich Davis
I'm saying, in weeks from now, I would love that if this kid did, like, a lighthearted interview somewhere. He recovered. He's like, man, what a crazy, drunk bird brain. I'm so hoping that's the case. We can only hope for this kid, right? No one wants to see someone severely, severely injured or kill themselves at a ball.
Steve Cavino
My dad has to see this clip. Unfortunately, it's hard to watch, but that was, like, his fear always. Like, my dad would ruin a game for me as a kid because, like.
Rich Davis
I can't seat up here.
Steve Cavino
I feel like I'm gonna fall. Like, he would have, like, a height thing. Yeah.
Rich Davis
I feel like I can't do it.
Steve Cavino
And I'd be like, what do you mean, you can't do it? These are our seats, by the way.
Rich Davis
Kavina was at a Yankees game. You might remember this. You've told the story.
Steve Cavino
This is a true story. I was at the Yankee game with my buddy Sean. Sean the lawyer. Rich knows him.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
And it's a memorable moment that you.
Rich Davis
May have seen again, funny, because the guy was fine.
Steve Cavino
We're sitting there, and all of a sudden we see a guy fall over the stands, but he fell into the netting. Do you guys remember seeing that clip? And then he has to crawl his way up from the net.
Danny G
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
I was at that game, like, whoa.
Rich Davis
Or that clip that you love, where the guy jumped through the end zone and caught the extra point.
Danny G
Chicago.
Steve Cavino
That's one of the best. I always joked and said, that was Rich's dad. Yeah. Richard's dad when he caught that field goal, but he jumped into the stands. But again, everyone, timing of that is just insane.
Rich Davis
Everyone you know, send your good vibes to that kid in Pittsburgh.
Steve Cavino
Absolutely.
Rich Davis
People fall in at baseball stadiums. They fall from the stands way too often. Like that woman in there. Remember the fat woman and naked gun that fell on Reggie Jackson? That was just the beginning of.
Steve Cavino
You know as well though, some of the angles, you feel like you're going to fall. It's really wild to see it actually happen. Like, you know, 20 something feet, 27ft or whatever. He fell. Just hope he's all right.
Rich Davis
You know where they say that's the most extreme. I've never been. I don't know. DB You're a golf guy. I don't know if you're a tennis guy. US Open in Queens, they say that people see it. People talk about how if you are up high and you're one of the people like your dad, that's like, I don't know.
Steve Cavino
My dad would not sit there.
Rich Davis
It apparent, apparently is like you are looking straight down. Like it's scary.
Danny G
Up high at Sofi here in Los Angeles is like that. It's steep. Like you feel like if you slip, you would tumble straight down.
Iowa Sam
I would suppose too, for a tennis venue, because the court is so small that you really can't spread it out because you'd be far away. So they try to stack you in that way.
Steve Cavino
Well, you know what's going to happen. We're going to see major changes moving forward. They're going to have a wall 20ft high or some sort of plexiglass. Because think about why we have the nets there and foul territory in the first place, because a kid was hitting the head right, with a line drive. So then nets go up.
Iowa Sam
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
I remember one clip. I always tell Rich this. No one ever remembers. And there's no footage at all. I remember watching an All Star game when I was a kid. It was an All Star game and Wade Boggs was a Red Sox and he gets a screaming line drive into the stands and the camera pants over into the stands and some guy was like, ah, holding his neck because he got hit with a line drive in the neck.
Rich Davis
And he's like, ah.
Steve Cavino
And I remember like noticing it as a kid and no one really commented on it.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
So I was like, is that serious? Was he joking or what? But sure enough, people were getting hit all the time. So they put those nets up after this, after this happened, I guarantee you something's gonna change. They're not gonna allow this to happen again. Especially if the guy was that drunk and he fell over like that. No way.
Rich Davis
Remember when OJ Was in a wheelchair and Frank Drebin?
Steve Cavino
I do.
Rich Davis
Patted him on the back.
Steve Cavino
You said you weren't gonna joke about this.
Rich Davis
No, I'm talking about Naked Gun.
Steve Cavino
No, of course, of course, no. But you know what, Rich? If you haven't seen the clip, that's sort of what it looks like now. It looks fake. It looks like, wow, is that real? Or like some weird AI as Danny G. Put it didn't look real because he really rag dolled over the rail.
Rich Davis
All right, so don't do hood rat stuff. Be careful at stadiums. I think we learned some lessons already here on Cavino and Rich. Now, Danny G. I know how it feels to come in to work when you work in the world of sports the day after your team loses. I love the fact you have the pride to wear your Lakers hat today.
Steve Cavino
I noticed it, I noticed it.
Rich Davis
I just feel like even the casual NBA fan, even if they wanted the Lakers to lose eventually, a first round exit just stinks. That's really, there's no other way to put it. It just stinks.
Steve Cavino
Disappointing.
Danny G
I've been through this with my favorite baseball team, Dodgers, couple seasons in a row had the same sort of exit and you know, you feel fortunate to be there. You don't want to go out that quickly. But obviously there's a lot of reasons on why the Lakers fell short.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, you would have assumed, I mean I thought for sure that it would they'd win last night at home and then eventually maybe lose.
Danny G
Right off the bat though, I think people forget how good the Minnesota Timberwolves, as Monsey says were last season, how deep into the playoffs they went last season.
Rich Davis
And I think now I could be wrong. I mean I'm wrong quite a bit. But something we're going to go over on over promise because we have so many other things to get to now. But I want everyone to think about this and join us after the show because we have that our bonus video pod is Anthony Edwards and the T Wolves. Is that the fun story if your team's out of it? Like is it is an easy rooting interest like yo, Anthony Edwards, fun young kid. Minnesota's never won before.
Steve Cavino
That's the key right there. Small market team like to see the Anthony Edwards that took out LeBron Luke Lakers and to see him move forward and see him take out other teams. Yeah, that'll be like man, the birth.
Danny G
Of this legacy because or on the other side, Rich, the mecca of basketball.
Rich Davis
Madison Square Garden, the Knicks, I mean.
Steve Cavino
That might be the matchup and they're due.
Rich Davis
Yeah, people want to see. I just think there are certain teams that if you told me it was going to be Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, to me, well deserved, great franchises and organizations. But Luca versus the Celtics again would sort of be not tickling my huevos at all, to be honest. So, hey, we'll get to that on over. Promise. But when it comes to the Lakers. Danny, you were sending us a bunch of articles about J.J. redick.
Danny G
Yeah. And the latest one from Bleacher Report, he says that the team needs to get into championship shape. I'll say the conditioning you saw in the fourth quarters, where they had leads earlier in the series. And then last night, with that small ball lineup that Redick was going with, which he's getting a lot of crap for, they were able to come back and tighten the game up and tie it at one point. Go ahead by a point or two at one point. But you could see towards the end of the game, just like the previous playoff game, they started to stand around the three point line and the offense was not moving fluidly. And that's a problem. Small ball gives you an advantage. Why? Because supposedly you could run up and down the court and use your, your speed to your advantage and maybe, you know, find some mismatches on the floor. Open, open things up. Right. But when the offense gets stagnant and starts standing around, remember that stretch where the game was tied 82 to 82, it seemed like forever. And the guys when they're standing around tired like that, and Reeves is chucking up threes and LeBron starts chucking up threes. Yeah, exactly.
Steve Cavino
That's what I guess.
Danny G
Yeah, for sure.
Rich Davis
You know, there was, there was one. And I don't want to lazily add to the Luca conditioning narrative. That's not what I'm trying to do. But there was a point where. Remember when Luca went in for that layup and he was convinced he was fouled and he really wasn't, and he just missed the layup. His body language from that point on with a couple minutes left in the game was like, well, it's not that.
Steve Cavino
He shoulders not conditioned.
Rich Davis
Right.
Steve Cavino
Like, imagine you telling LeBron like, he needs to condition better. He'd look at you like you're telling me it's championship shape. I believe that was the quote. Take a listen to J.J. redick. I'll start with the off season and.
Danny G
The work that's required in an off.
Steve Cavino
Season to be in championship shape. And that's the key.
Danny G
You know, we have a ways to go as a roster, and certainly there are individuals that were in phenomenal shape. There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape. That's where my mind goes immediately, is.
Steve Cavino
You know, we have to get in championship shape. I love this for multiple reasons. It takes the heat off of him and his decisions. Right. His coaching does it, though, because it's getting criticized. And it also exposes the truth here, because be real about it. These are all great teams, and every great team is looking for that mismatch or that edge. And the edge here was they weren't as in championship shape as the Timberwolves. It could be an age thing or just a conditioning thing. And it was so noticeable when the casual fan could notice this, you know, there's an issue, and he pointed it out, and he's right about it. I think that was what really separated. And it's a shame that the Lakers didn't necessarily get outplayed. They got out conditioned.
Rich Davis
I. I certainly don't want to make an excuse for the Lakers, but do you think in off season, a couple more moves and Now Luka and LeBron, a full year together will make a difference next year? I know we're running out of. We're running out of LeBron time.
Danny G
Like, do you remember the narrative right after the trade happened? We heard a lot of, especially talking heads on tv, say the Mavericks won this trade short term, but the Lakers won this trade long term because they could build around Luca now. But then AD Got hurt, and people kind of forgot that take. And now we're at where we're at right now. But remember, a lot of people knew this team was incomplete because of defense, because of the lack of size going into the playoffs.
Steve Cavino
And LeBron refused to talk about what they need moving forward because of the lack of size.
Rich Davis
Or his actual future.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, and his actual future. Um. But, yeah, it was sort of deflating, disappointing. Like that was it. You guys can even get out of the first round. They couldn't win at home? One more game? Nothing. And I mean, unless you're a Timberwolves fan, I'm happy for our boss who was there with his family. I'm happy for him not to kiss ass. But other than that, man, I wanted to see it extend a little further than that, show some fight. But I do believe that it had to do with the conditioning.
Rich Davis
Rich, we should add some contract talks today.
Steve Cavino
Hey, based on that good mood. Yeah.
Danny G
Conditioning Covino. And let's be honest, Reddick as as much as he did a good job for his first year, because, you know, that's another thing. Think back to when the season started. Oh, what a joke of a hire. 19 wins for this guy. Watch doing a podcast last week now coaching 50 win. He did a great job in the regular season, especially with all the stuff that happened throughout the year. But he did get out, coached in the playoffs.
Steve Cavino
But he's a Rookie coach and LeBron spoke very highly. He said, you know, he can confirm that they have a great coach moving forward. And he was impressed for, for his buddy in his first year coaching. Now based on that though, Rich, right? Reddick calling out the conditioning. To me, that's conditioning. Coaches, trainers, the players, their eating habits, everything. They're not in championship shape. That's J.J. redick. He's the coach. Does it matter who you get advice or criticism from?
Rich Davis
Yes, because I think J.J. redick, I think the record shows that where he lacked in talent, no one ever questioned his conditioning, work ethic and hustle on the court. So I think J.J. redick, it's not like he's some lazy slob saying, you know, my team needs to be more conditioned. This is a guy that even as a coach is a guy that's in shape, you know, not far removed from the court, always a guy that seems very disciplined. I'll give you an example I mentioned recently. You know, in fact, I'll save my analogy cuz it's a good one.
Steve Cavino
Uh oh, which has an analogy.
Rich Davis
And the analogy is calling out some people that are gonna be very upset.
Steve Cavino
So does it matter who you get criticism or constructive criticism or advice from? Does it matter who it's from? Is the question based on JJ Redick saying they need to condition better? They need to be in championship shape. Plus, what are the top 10 selling NFL jerseys after the draft? Draft was a week ago. What are the top 10 selling draft jerseys and old school 150 hits.

Steve Cavino
Such is life, Rich.
Rich Davis
I know.
Steve Cavino
Don't you wish that everything was just going good at the same time? When the Mets are playing well, Juan Soto stinks. And when Juan Soto's playing well, the Mets stink.
Rich Davis
I can't explain it. I have met fan friends that are like, man, Soto's been stinking. I'm like, yeah, they're in first place with the best record of baseball.
Steve Cavino
That's just life, Rich. Like, you're having a great day, but your kids are miserable.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Or you come home, hey, honey, what's up? And she's in a bad mood. And those days, she comes home and she's feeling sexy, you're like, yeah, whatever. Get out of my face. Can't just. Can it just. Just go right?
Rich Davis
Can't everything line up is what you're saying.
Steve Cavino
Hey, we're Kavino and Rich broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We have lots to get to in 18 minutes. Old school in 50 hits. You like that math, right? Old school in 50 hits. We do it every Thursday. We throw it back and reminisce, and it involves cartoons. Okay, so we're gonna talk about that because it's an anniversary today.
Rich Davis
The. By the way, the reason Kavino brought up Soto is that the Mets, who are like the hottest team in baseball, lost two in a row because who finally got hot the last two days? Juan Soto. Two home runs today, couple hits yesterday. So Soto got hot.
Danny G
So, see, your team would be better off without him.
Steve Cavino
That's the thing, because there was a lot of speculation on his body language like he doesn't look happy. Well, but the team's winning, man. Come on.
Rich Davis
It's just one of those like my dumb Met fan friends that were like, oh, come on, Soda. I'm like, who cares? He'll get hot eventually. Who cares? Now, now two games are on. Betslows.
Steve Cavino
All right, now back to what we were discussing. The numbers 8, 7, 7, 99 on Fox again. Hope you had a Rockets, Timberwolves sort of night. Some big games tonight. Knicks, Pistons, Nuggets, Clippers, we'll be talking about it if not here on over promised our bonus Show Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page immediately after this show. J.J. redick, he's being scrutinized today. I mean, deservingly, he made some interesting moves. But again, his rookie season, he did however say that it came down to conditioning. They weren't in championship shape. And I think that's such a great and obvious point, but a really great point. Like if you're going to beat these younger teams to these Anthony Edwards like teams and Rudy was playing his ass off last night, you got to be in tip top shape. And it looked like they were gassed to play. That's how you explain it.
Danny G
Second half, though, in game four, Covino, NBA history in the playoffs. Nobody ever in the history of the NBA playoffs had ever had the same lineup play the entire second half.
Steve Cavino
And there was a lot of scrutiny that he overextended LeBron the game before, right? So it looked like they ran out of gas. It didn't look like they got outplayed. They were in it until the end because they ran out of gas. So championship shape. But it's coming from the coach, it's coming from JJ Redick. So my question to Rich and to the Fox Sports Radio nation is and to everybody, does it matter who the advice comes from or the scrutiny or the criticism comes from? Because we live here in California, right, Rich? And I hear a lot of people like, yeah, that crappy state you're in. And I'm like, have you ever been here? Then shut up because then zip your zippy.
Rich Davis
It's pretty awesome.
Steve Cavino
I don't want to hear, yeah, I don't want to hear about it. Like you've never been here. Shut up. Hey, did you ever come and visit me? No. So zip it. So to me it does matter where it's coming from.
Rich Davis
If someone's never traveled and they're telling you about different places.
Steve Cavino
What, you read it in a magazine? Yeah.
Rich Davis
It makes it. I've heard people be like, oh, I hear it's beautiful. I'm like, yeah, you hear You.
Steve Cavino
Have you been there? So, you know, just based on that example, a lot of times it does matter to me where it's coming from. I don't want to hear your. I want to hear Anthony Bourdain's take on it. I want to hear how the food was from him, not from you. Because you heard.
Rich Davis
Can I, can I tell you, I think this is a no brainer. Who it comes from is the only factor for me. In fact, I hate to be rude.
Steve Cavino
And that's why we make it clear we're. Hey, we're fans first, right?
Rich Davis
I hate to be rude, but I have to go at you on one of these.
Steve Cavino
Oh, boy, why me? I mean, I'm throwing it all vague and throwing it. Now you're coming at me.
Rich Davis
I gotta come at you when it comes from, where the advice come from. Comes from. I'll save the one for you because you'll be insulted.
Danny G
Come at me, bro.
Steve Cavino
You can come at me, bro.
Rich Davis
I don't care if one of my broke friends.
Steve Cavino
I don't care what you say, because again, it's who is coming from. You think I care what you say.
Rich Davis
If one of my broke friends who lives in a beat up apartment.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Starts telling me about a stock I should buy? My first thought is like, yeah, sorry, bro, you're not, you're not. You're, you're, you're not Lehman Bros. You're not Morgan Stanley. You're not. I'm not taking money advice and investing advice from my broke friend who lives in a, you know, beat up apartment.
Steve Cavino
Lives in a shoe. Yeah, I got you.
Rich Davis
I once got a free training session at a new gym I signed up for, and they're like, here's your personal trainer. I was in better shape than the trainer. I'm like, no, this ain't gonna work.
Steve Cavino
I need my trainer again to be fair in this discussion, Right. Based on JJ Redick's criticism. He's the coach. Mike, who runs this place makes a good point. You know, he shares words of wisdom all the time. Mike, who runs this place. That's why the old saying goes, those who can't, teach.
Rich Davis
Those who can't teach or coach that all the time.
Steve Cavino
What about, what about that? I'm personally there for the fun of the discussion because, hey, maybe this guy has bad genetics and he's a little overweight, but he knows what he's talking about.
Rich Davis
No, if I go to a gym and pay for a personal Trainer. This guy better look like Dwayne the Rock Johnson with a shirt off. This guy better. He better look like ravishing rick rude in 1989.
Steve Cavino
Whoa. How about Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 4?
Rich Davis
Yeah. I'm not going to go to the gym and have some guy that looks like Charles Barkley tell me about my workout.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, but look at these boxing trainers. You think they're all, like, they're all out of shape and old, but they know what they're talking about.
Rich Davis
I'm going to hit Danny with one because I know he feels this way. Danny, back in your radio days when you were doing more hip hop and music, when a program director would criticize something you did on air, and you're like, you're not even on air.
Danny G
Oh, yeah.
Steve Cavino
If you knew how to be on air, why aren't you on air?
Danny G
Do you know our. He was our general manager at the time, and he was the president of programming. And like, once a month he would air check us, our morning show. So he'd sit down with me and the other morning co host and he would critique us. Right. So there was a, like a game we did on the air, and during the air check meeting, he said, ha. He did this really wimpy giggle. He's like, I love that. After the meeting was over, my co host looked at me and he's like, scratch it. We're never doing that game again.
Rich Davis
He loves it.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, right. Again. When you're, when you're being critical or you're grading your hosts, in radio, it's called an air check. And bosses go over to things you talk about.
Rich Davis
I respect the people that have been there, done that, no matter what the industry. I'll give you a couple more examples. Just because I overly give examples, you could criticize that. No, that's.
Steve Cavino
That's fine. I mean, we're just speculating the JJ Reddick thing.
Rich Davis
I. I once had. And this, again, I don't mean to sound mean, but I once had someone give me some parenting advice. Their kids were grown, but guess what? Their kids don't talk to them. I'm like, why am I gonna take parenting advice from someone whose kids grown up to not want to talk to their parents? I was talking about how after baseball or softball practice, you know, once a week or every couple weeks, I'll bring my kids to McDonald's because they want a Happy Meal. And someone on one of our listener.
Steve Cavino
Pages was like, oh, boy, oh, boy, you're lucky they didn't take the car on their own later.
Rich Davis
Dad, you're only seven. I've. The criticism was like, man, I don't take my kids for fast food that much. I clicked on some of these profiles and they.
Steve Cavino
And little chubby kids.
Rich Davis
Guy looks like King Kong Bunties telling me. Telling me about health.
Steve Cavino
Oh, well, some guy, he looked like Tugboat.
Rich Davis
Some guy that looks like Yokozuna.
Steve Cavino
No, in all fairness, he looks like.
Rich Davis
Bam Bam Bigelow telling me about health and fitness. And then I'll give you one more. Just because I have to make fun of you. Sometimes Covino will rave about a restaurant or a steakhouse, and the fact that you get your steak well done makes me think. I don't know if I could really trust your steakhouse analysis.
Steve Cavino
Really? You want to go there?
Rich Davis
I can't.
Steve Cavino
You want to go there?
Rich Davis
If you tell me. Please. Well done.
Steve Cavino
And ketchup. If you tell me this guy and this guy, the same guy who wants to tell me about his vacation destination but never leaves the resort.
Rich Davis
Fair. That's a fair one.
Steve Cavino
You're gonna tell me about that country. You never seen it. You stayed at the resort the whole time.
Rich Davis
You saw the Holiday Inn Ohio. Exactly. Can I tell you it's a fair criticism?
Steve Cavino
I'm only kidding.
Rich Davis
No, it's a fair one.
Steve Cavino
Hey, you know what? Look at that.
Rich Davis
But if Kavino says to me, bro, the filet was great, and he got it butterflied, well done, and then dips.
Danny G
It into sauce, it's charred.
Rich Davis
You know, I've got a lot of.
Steve Cavino
Feedback, too, saying, like, the excuse of running out of gas is so soft, too, from today's perspective. Like, what a soft excuse. The fact that you ran out of gas. So your thoughts on that. You could think what you want. And it does sound kind of soft, like you, you're supposed to be in championship shape. This is your job. But it does seem to be true, and it seems to be what happened in this series.
Rich Davis
Let's go to Dan by for an update. DB what's going on, man? Dan never runs out of gas. This guy's always ready to roll.
Steve Cavino
He always has gas.
Iowa Sam
You guys. You know, I just had deja vu with Cavino and Rich. You want to know why? Completely separate. You've talked about this on the show before. You ever go to a sporting event, event like a decade ago and still get stuff from that same team?
Rich Davis
Yes, I still get Washington national emails every day.
Iowa Sam
Yes, I went to a Browns game in 2008, and I just got an email to download the official Browns mobile app today. So it's been 17 years.
Rich Davis
They really want you back.
Iowa Sam
Yes, they do.
Steve Cavino
You know what's even worse though, Dan, is you've had 17 years to unsubscribe and you haven't maybe that one thing.
Iowa Sam
That I'm Hey, I look at my Browns emails. All right, Game six is tonight. Nixon Pistons, Nuggets and Clippers. Pistons try to stay alive there at home. Knicks up 3 2. Clippers trying to do the same at home in LA with the Nuggets up 32 in that series, you won't be seeing John Halliburton at any future Pacers playoff games. That's for the foreseeable future. The father of Tyrese Halliburton will not be attending games after meeting with the Pacers front office. He accepted the outcome according to espn, as he was the one who taunted Giannis and Tedokounmpo following the Pacers win over the bucks in Game 5 on Tuesday. Suns are making a change in the front office. GM James Jones is going to be assigned to a senior advisory role with the team, with Phoenix promoting vice president Brian Gregory to be their new general manager. Rodriguez has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby because of a foot bruise. The 121 favorite was slated to start from the 4 post in the Run for the Roses coming up on Saturday day baseball Rich's Mets fell to the Diamondbacks 4 2. The silver lining Juan Soto 2 home runs solo shots in defeat. Reds beat the Cardinals 91 A's blank the Rangers 3 nothing. White Sox blanked the Brewers 8 not Royals 1. In Tampa against the Rays 82 Cubs down the Pirates 8 3. Twins and Guardians. It's been raining in Cleveland. They're in another rain delay. Tied up at two in the eighth. Guys, back to you.
Steve Cavino
Thank you db. The best in the land and we're going to get to your feedback and phone calls. Plus old school win 50 hits. Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Rich, I thought of two more examples and I will get to them next. Sound good?
Rich Davis
Sounds great.
Steve Cavino
Some gasoline. Burning that gasoline audio sleep style. Look like the Lakers ran out of gas last night. They're not in championship shape.
Rich Davis
Now. If you cared about all your Vatos Locos, you would have played Gasolina by Daddy Yankee.
Steve Cavino
No man, I care about all the Turbonians from Turbonia. I'm on Turbo every night on SiriusXM playing hard rock of the 90s and the Zeros. But I'm here every day. Speaking of Zeros with this guy, Rich Davis Cavino and Rich, the greatest of all time. We're the goats of duos. How about that?
Rich Davis
There you go.
Steve Cavino
Cavino and Rich. We got Danny G. We got Iowa. Sam. It's a whole team effort. DB Is here and Spot is. Where the hell is Spot anyway?
Rich Davis
Spot is where the hell is.
Steve Cavino
We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And it's time for a tire rack play of the day. Right when the Lakers hit a couple of threes in the fourth quarter to make the game tight. Mike Conley Jr. Answered right back. He answered right back.
Rich Davis
He answered right back. Left handed drop crossed him up top of the key. Drifts left. Now attacks in the length, kick out. Conley in the corner. Three ball. He got it.
Iowa Sam
Corner pocket for Mike Conley.
Rich Davis
194 clutch from Mike. And that is the play where Minnesota in my mind, eliminated the Lakers four games to one, courtesy of KFA and 100.3. And that is our tire rack play of the day from a 40 years tire rack. But helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection and the convenience of mobile tire installation. Tire rack.com the way tire buying should be.
Steve Cavino
And although I was rooting for the Lakers, I was happy to see the Timberwolves move on. For the city, for the franchise, for Edwards, and most of all for our boss because he's a big fan. And I'm kissing ass. That's what I'm doing.
Rich Davis
Hey, I was. Sam, I love that you left Camino hanging for a second.
Steve Cavino
That was two days in a row that I got.
Danny G
I don't have it ready.
Steve Cavino
Hey, sometimes the play of the day sneaks up on you. It's all good.
Rich Davis
Pulled down.
Danny G
I think it's Sam's lack of conditioning.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, you know what it is? He was out of gas.
Rich Davis
You know, real quick, 22nd story, Sam. The worst time this ever happened to us, we were hosting an event in Mexico. Picture this, it's Maxim. Remember when magazines mattered, it was Maxim. Spring break.
Danny G
What are those?
Rich Davis
Covino and I are on a microphone in front of thousands of spring break students giving away prizes and money and you know, like, hot body contest, booty shaking contest. When we're done doing the contest, our job was to kick it back to the dj.
Steve Cavino
I remember his name too. DJ Rock City.
Rich Davis
DJ Rock.
Steve Cavino
I'll never forget it because it was a nightmare.
Rich Davis
So we're done with this contest. Crowd's going. Thus we're like, yeah, we're Kavino and Rich Maxim. DJ Rock City. Drop that beat, crickets. Rock City. DJ Rock City.
Steve Cavino
Then you got thousands of spring breakers booing us. Boo Roxanne.
Rich Davis
We looked. Suck. Dude, they're throwing T shirts back at us. Drop that beat, dude.
Steve Cavino
It was a nightmare. It was like those MTV spring break events.
Rich Davis
Danny. We turned to the DJ booth. The dude had went on a bathroom break.
Steve Cavino
Yo. Me and Rich started doing a dance routine to try to, like, entertain. It was so embarrassing.
Rich Davis
Kavino started beatboxing like he was Vanilla Ice.
Steve Cavino
Oh, so awkward. So anyway, before we move on, look at the clock. I do want to give. I know. I want to give you my two last examples, though, Rich, of, you know, when it matters. Does it matter where the advice comes from? Because sometimes those who can't teach. I think that applies in baseball. We see it all the time with coaches, right? So it's usually the catcher who wasn't that good, but he's a great leader and a great coach. Wasn't the best player. Happens all the time. So I think that we're wrong with our assumption. It's our attitude. Like, what do you know about it? Because maybe they know a lot. But we're wrong because we assume otherwise. But there are other cases where I know I'm right because I don't want to hear marriage advice or relationship advice from you when I've never seen you in a relationship before.
Rich Davis
Yeah. Ever your buddy. That's perpetually single.
Steve Cavino
Parental advice from a person without a kid. Scramble him a Ding Dong.
Rich Davis
That's a good one, right? You know what? You can end it on those. In fact, look at the clock. We're running out of time. When 50 hits, there's a surge. Yeah.
Danny G
What we gonna do right here is.
Rich Davis
Go tell me, where's this party?
Steve Cavino
Back into time.
Danny G
Throwing it back for a Thursday, old school, when 50 hits at 50 after cnr give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Steve Cavino
Yeah. All right. So we do this every Thursday. We get you involved. Fox Sports Radio Nation. So be dialing 877-99-NOX and Ovino and Rich.
Rich Davis
Now this is a fun, easy one. 26 years ago, in 1999, SpongeBob My Pants SquarePants debuted. So it was the debut of SpongeBob SquarePants. So with that, I ask you, what is the best adult cartoon? Not the little smutty things you see when you're looking up nonsense. I'm talking, like, I'll give you my example. South park, right? That might be number one.
Steve Cavino
No, it's not. I'll explain.
Rich Davis
All right, well, your favorite adult cartoon will go old school. Next.
Danny G
Did you know? Women are more likely than men to.
Steve Cavino
Develop dry eyes, which may be due to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.
Danny G
Or after menopause and the use of oral contraceptives.
