---

1. Luka Doncic’s Trade and Emotional Reaction

The episode opens with Covino recounting a significant trade involving NBA star Luka Doncic. The hosts discuss Luka's immediate and intense emotional response upon learning about the trade, highlighting the human side of high-stakes sports decisions.

• Covino: "When he found out about the trade, dude was in bed. And he said, 'Is it April 1st?' His heart was broken, honestly." ([05:51])

• Rich: "You'Re traded and you threw it?" ([07:04])

Luka's visceral reaction included throwing his phone against the wall, symbolizing his frustration and disbelief. The hosts explore whether such actions stem from genuine anger or a bid for viral attention, debating the impact of public displays of emotion by athletes.

2. Coping with Anger: Personal Anecdotes

Covino and Rich transition into a broader discussion about managing anger and moments when emotions lead to regrettable actions, using Luka's incident as a springboard.

• Covino: "I think it really hit him in a serious way... Have you ever been so mad you did something stupid like that and immediately regret it?" ([07:59])

• Rich: "People do it all the time. I think they're ass clowns." ([07:59])

Both hosts share personal stories illustrating their own breaking points. Covino recounts his father’s extreme reactions to teenage antics, such as throwing the TV down the stairs, while Rich describes losing his temper over his children's antics by destroying a TV remote.

• Covino: "He took the TV out of her room, ripping it out of the wall and throwing it down the steps." ([09:27])

• Rich: "I lost my cool. I'm like, you kids never listen to me. I took the remote, slammed it down on the floor. It shattered in like 25 pieces." ([12:20])

These anecdotes serve to underline the universal struggle with anger management, even among those who strive to maintain control.

3. Sports Updates: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks and Lakers Playoffs

The hosts provide real-time updates on ongoing sports events, bringing excitement and detailed analysis to their listeners.

• Israel Gutierrez (DB): "Suzuki just hit a home run to extend the Cubs lead to 13 to 11. This was after six innings, it was a 21 ballgame. It is now 13 to 11 in the bottom of the eighth inning." ([18:08])

The Cubs vs. Diamondbacks game is described as a "127 it's gone" affair, with multiple grand slams altering the game's momentum. The hosts analyze player performances and the game's dramatic shifts, keeping listeners engaged with the unfolding action.

Additionally, updates on the Lakers' playoff prospects are discussed, with optimism about their chances despite Luka's trade-induced emotions.

• Covino: "He [Luka] uses this as fuel to the fire. It gets me excited that these emotions were real and now he's just ready to unleash with the Lakers." ([40:49])

4. Interactive Segment: Music Challenge

In an effort to engage listeners and add levity to the show, Covino and Rich introduce a music challenge inspired by a viral social media trend.

• Rich: "It's called the Whitney Houston challenge in the song 'I Will Always Love You.' Towards the end, there's a break, and then the drum comes back. You got to slam your hand down real hard when you think the drum returns." ([51:36])

Despite attempts by the hosts and their guests, the challenge proves difficult to execute live, resulting in humorous moments and camaraderie among the team.

• Israel Gutierrez: "This is a thing." ([51:37])

• Covino: "None of us got it." ([52:49])

This segment not only entertains but also showcases the hosts' personalities and their ability to navigate light-hearted moments amidst serious discussions.

5. Final Thoughts and Conclusion

As the episode winds down, Covino and Rich reflect on the themes discussed, emphasizing the importance of managing emotions and using personal setbacks as motivation.

• Covino: "No one's immune to this. Everybody has a breaking point... I could see it really hit him in a major way. If you act like this all the time, you know, that's the problem." ([36:35])

• Rich: "Life can be hectic. Lots of chaos. Just ask Luka, who threw his phone across the room." ([49:21])

They also remind listeners of upcoming shows, encourage engagement through ratings and reviews, and tease future topics, including NBA playoffs and the NFL draft.

Plus nice smooth, like eggs. So lots to get to. So let's dive right into it. There's a big story before we talk about Jake Paul and his next fight, because I think that's fun. There's a big story today, courtesy of our old pal Malika Andrews, who we used to see. Very nice person, very great at her job. She's interviewing Luka and Luca says when he found out the news, he was in bed. When he found out about the trade, dude was in bed. And he said, and I quote, is it April 1st? His heart was broken, honestly. And he took his phone. Here's the meat of the story. He took his phone and threw it against the wall. I'm assuming he threw it and he broke it. I'm wondering and guessing where. Maybe he slammed it on the floor. Maybe he slammed it.

[Rich]

Oh, I was wondering, does he have. Does the Apple care?

[Cavino]

No. Because Malika then goes to say, do you still have it? And they bring it in, it's all cracked up. She goes, does it still work? And he's like, yeah, it's a great endorsement for an iPhone, but it's in a million pieces. Cracked in a million pieces. But if you missed it, take a listen.

[Rich]

You hang up the phone the night.

[Cavino]

You'Re traded and you threw it.

[Danny G]

Yes.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Do you have that phone?

[Cavino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

You still use that phone?

[Rich]

Yeah. So works listen with apple new screens. 20 bucks. Just letting you know, Luke, I would throw it out there.

[Cavino]

Well, he didn't get it repaired, as far as I know. Still works. And he's using a cracked phone. But he shows it, and you see, he's all smiles now. But for him to admit that his heart was broken, honestly in a. In a vulnerable moment, and he believed that it was April 1, like a bad joke goes to show you how it really affected him, man. And to react in that way. I'm not saying he has anger issues, but I think it really hit him in a serious way. So we posed this question first and first. Mostly, well, your thoughts on that, but also, have you ever been so mad you did something stupid like that and immediately regret it?

[Rich]

People do it all the time. I think they're ass clowns. But to me, to break your own.

[Cavino]

Property, It's a line from Goodfellas. I believe when the women would spit in their own house and Karen's like, they would spit in their own home. I never understood that. Like, why would you do that to your own stuff? It's like the jabroni that breaks the TV when his team loses impulse control. Aside from wanting to go viral and for the clicks, I just don't get it.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Stupidest thing ever.

[Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

I think nowadays you see like a Dallas Cowboys fan and it's all staged because they're getting rid of their old crappy flat screen and buying a new one for like 200 bucks at Walmart. So why do you have to destroy.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It though, for a stupid bit?

[Rich]

Well, they assume $200 is cost of business, so they'll take their, you know, crappy old flat screen, knowing they're getting a new one and be like, cowboys lost.

[Cavino]

Woo.

[Rich]

We slam it down. Yeah, try to get 100,000 views. It's ridiculous. But anyone that really breaks their own stuff, it's wild to me. I can never understand.

[Cavino]

Well, or maybe it's few and far between where you're ever that mad and emotional. Because if you're a dad of a teenage kid, they could push you to their limits for sure. Like, I could tell you straight up, like, I start to see red and I, like, I want to bang my head through the wall, let alone throw something. So, you know, you have to practice restraint. But I've seen my dad. I saw my. My dad. I think he blew a circuit one time and he's never been the same since my sisters pushed him to the limit. He had three teenagers at like one time, girls.

[Danny G]

And.

[Rich]

And he's still alive.

[Cavino]

And he's still alive. But I remember the one time. I don't know what happened. Let's just say one of my sisters came home late or did some stupid. I just remember him taking the TV out of her room, ripping it out of the wall and throwing it down the steps. And he was like, ah, yeah, dude, I don't think he's ever been the same Since I think he blew a circuit. But. And my dad's a mild mannered dude. So if my dad, who's, you know, great dad, nice guy, could be pushed that far, I guess it could happen to anybody. Well, you're turning to the Incredible Hulk.

[Rich]

Your dad, Big Steve Covino.

[Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Has five kids. You always tell the story.

[Cavino]

You know what it was? My mom was probably squeezing his shoes all day and he had enough.

[Rich]

You always tell the story of when you were a little boy and your dad, with all respect, was probably trying to get some booty.

[Cavino]

I mean, I don't know that. Listen, I mean, they had five kids. It's possible.

[Rich]

I'd imagine Covino tells the story when he was a little kid. You know, when you're a little kid, you're like, mom, dad. And you keep calling them and you're bothering your parents and looking back, you're like, they were probably just trying to enjoy a little alone time and you're knocking on the door.

[Cavino]

No, I mean, he was probably watching Benny Hill downstairs in his tighty whities. That's really what he was probably doing.

[Rich]

And my kids do it now. Dad. Dad. What? You finally go in. Could I have water, please? Kids do this. It's the.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It's the. Sorry. The Stewie. And from Family Guy, who goes, mommy, Mommy, Mommy. She's laying right there and she's just staring ahead. Lois. And she's what? You know, eventually she just snaps nothing.

[Cavino]

And that's exactly what it was.

[Rich]

And your dad, did he not take one of your favorite toys?

[Cavino]

Yeah, he came into my room all mad, and he's like, I told you to knock it off. My parents rarely discipline me, so it's the only stories I have. And he said, what do you want? Like, nothing. Do it one more time to kick your ass. Whatever. He said, I don't know. And of course, I called for my mom one more time. Mom. He came in busting in his tighty whities, and he's like, you like this guitar? And I'm like, yeah. And he snapped it. Like, where you go?

[Rich]

I was like, was your dad the honky tonk? You know what?

[Cavino]

I don't think I ever Bo Jackson.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Ed it like a bat.

[Cavino]

Yeah, I don't. That's what he did over his head, though. I don't think I ever recovered from that. So, yeah, my dad snapped my guitar. Like it was like a little toy guitar.

[Rich]

Have you ever pulled a Luca. Have you ever been so mad where you lost your cool? I was bragging about how I don't ever lose my cool. And I just realized I did a couple of years ago, my kids, they're seven and five now, so I'm guessing they were five and three, and they were just annoying the hell out of me, Something they were doing.

[Cavino]

Kids will push you, man.

[Rich]

And I remember grabbing the remote control for our tv. Like, our. You know, the smart TV remote.

[Cavino]

Everybody knows what a remote control is, guys.

[Rich]

It controls your television.

[Cavino]

You know, the little thing with buttons for your tv, A little handheld device.

[Rich]

And I just lost my cool. I'm like, you kids never listen to me. I took the remote, slammed it down on the floor. It shattered in, like, 25 pieces.

[Cavino]

I remember you telling me that. And your wife got mad at you.

[Rich]

My wife's like, you know what you're gonna do right now? I'm like, what? She goes, you're gonna go to Best Buy or Target or somewhere and go buy a new remote because you're an idiot. I'm like, you're right. And because I'm like, I was mad at the kids, and now the TV was stuck on whatever was on. I had no remote.

[Cavino]

But I guess it happens. I've seen my mom throw a lot of things at my dad and at me, you know, I remember my mom threw a full on Canada dry soda can at me one time. I don't remember what I did.

[Rich]

A full one.

[Cavino]

Yeah.

[Israel Gutierrez]

That's gonna hurt.

[Will]

I know.

[Cavino]

Lucky I had matrix ninja skills.

[Israel Gutierrez]

So you don't chop that thing in midair.

[Cavino]

Sure. It's going to the wall, right? Like, if there's a dent in your wall, there's a good chance that someone threw something or, I don't know, there was an accident or someone had a fit of rage.

[Israel Gutierrez]

People punch the wall. They don't often think. Like, Andy in the office, he gets so mad, and he just punches the drywall.

[Cavino]

That happens a lot more than we realize.

[Rich]

No, it does. And I'll tell you why. Because my contractor, we redid our whole house when we bought it. It had not been touched since the 50s. So I spent a lot of time with my contractor, and he would tell me he had clients that would call him every so often. Like, yeah, can you do quick little patchwork, little sheetrock, a little spackle? Because people have tempers. And there's people that, on the regular, will be like, ra. And punch the Sheetrock in their house.

[Cavino]

I'll tell you what, Rich. I wouldn't throw my phone the way Luca did. But it does show you how. How it hit him right like, he didn't think about it.

[Rich]

You think deep down.

[Cavino]

I don't think it was like a money thing. That's another question. Because people.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Israel Gutierrez]

He lost 100 million.

[Cavino]

People speculate. The tears. Right. Would he have.

[Israel Gutierrez]

He loves Dallas.

[Cavino]

Traded that in. Like, of course he didn't want it to happen. I think he's happy now. Of course. You know. Yeah, I think so. He has a chance to win. They've embraced him.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Yeah. I know he looks like he's having fun now.

[Cavino]

I do think he's settled in, but there's still some wounds, some scars, some. Some answers, probably that he wants. But he did get that closure recently. But here's what I would do, Rich. If my daughter was just misbehaving because a teenage kid, like I said, will push their limits, I would take her phone and throw it somewhere just to prove a point.

[Rich]

Then you gotta buy her a new one.

[Cavino]

Yeah. But still, you know, I could see myself maybe getting to that point. I go, yeah, you know, I could see that. Because there's so little you could do to discipline a kid nowadays. There really is. There's really so little.

[Rich]

The days of spanking and, like, old school discipline. Hold on.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Especially can't beat my child anymore. It's looked down upon.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Cavino]

I mean, geez, right?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Like, so hard to parent these days.

[Cavino]

No. But I also, as a co parent, Sam. Right. Like, your hands are really tied because anything you do.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Will be used against you either by.

[Cavino]

The child or the ex. But you know what I did? I bought that phone. So you're giving me some. I'll take that phone. I'll throw it in. I'll pull a Luca.

[Israel Gutierrez]

When I was a little kid here in la, we had a neighbor named Luis. He lived two houses down. And he was. He was so scared to get into trouble because when he did something that made his mom or dad mad, he got a spanking out on the front lawn. His dad would take a kitchen chair out and spank him in public.

[Cavino]

Oh, it's the worst.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Public lashings. Yeah.

[Cavino]

So we asked him to spank him.

[Israel Gutierrez]

In front of the neighborhood. Fox Sports robs you of your dignity.

[Cavino]

I want to hear your Kevin Brown moments, your Paul O'Neill uncontrollable moments. It's okay. Vent. Tell us, you know, make sense of this Lucas story. Because that's the story right now. He was so mad. That's what happened. And he's still using that phone, which is amazing.

[Rich]

I'll tell you where this happens quite a bit. You know me number One softball player in the valley. Here in California, I always use other people's bats, but there's guys that I play with that spend 3, $400 on a nice, like, top level, the Marini bat. Like these really torpedoes. Like torpedo bats? No, but they spend a lot of money. And there's some hotheads that, like, pop up with runners on base. They'll take their bat, hit it against the fence. I mean, you just broke a three. You just popped a.300 bat.

[Cavino]

And that's. It's really. Yeah. I don't know, man. I can't relate.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Golf clubs are the same way. Like, if you're mad and you want to chuck it into the pond, and then you.

[Cavino]

So stupid.

[Danny G]

Right?

[Rich]

Golf is a great one. I'm surprised we haven't thought of that yet. I need that.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Yes. I need that golf club. It's not. And it's not the easiest. I mean, if you want a new driver, sure, but there's several hundred dollars depending on the range that it is. And then there's also just the awkwardness of driving with a person in the cart for the next 200 yards because they just threw their club into the pond.

[Cavino]

Well, I have a dumb question for you, D.B. yes, and I should know. My girlfriend actually works at a golf course. You think I would know some of this stuff? There are people. Yeah.

[Rich]

Yes. His name is Jordan Gilmore. You know.

[Cavino]

I know there's people that go into these lakes, they retrieve all these golf balls, and they come up. Do they retrieve a lot of club?

[Israel Gutierrez]

I'm sure that they. They will. Time and again. I don't think it's littered like it would be with golf balls, but I'm sure you'll probably find a driver.

[Cavino]

You have to, right?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Depending on what.

[Cavino]

Funny.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Cavino]

You know, it's all evidence of angry people.

[Rich]

Hey, DB have you ever seen the viral clip recent? I saw some dude, he was on the putt. He was on the green, made a nice putt. He thought the ball was short. Slams down his putter, snaps in half, and then he gets the roll. So he made the shot, but he didn't let the. The ball had that last little.

[Israel Gutierrez]

But was it hitting the ground that caused vibrations, like in Caddyshack, the. The dynamite exploding.

[Rich]

This guy prematurely snapped his putter and then realized, oh, it did. I got the drop.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I don't want to say it's common, but. By the way, I'm sorry to interrupt my thought. This Cubs Diamondbacks game right now.

[Cavino]

Oh, my God.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Absolutely. Back and bonkers. Say Suzuki Just hit a home run to extend the cubs lead to 13 to 11. This was a. After six innings, it was a 21 ballgame. It is now 13 to 11 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Wow.

[Cavino]

And you said someone hit a granny, right? A little while ago.

[Israel Gutierrez]

There have been two grand slams. Ian happy to grand slam for the cubs in the seventh. And then they added another, so they were up 71 heading to the eighth. The Diamondbacks then scored 10 runs in the top of the eighth inning with Eugenio Suarez hitting a grand Islam. Lourdes Guriel Jr. Hit a run shot in that same inning. Inning. So it was 11 to 7. Diamondbacks heading to the bottom of the eighth inning, and the Cubs have now scored six in the eighth. Kyle Tucker's hit a two run home run. I mentioned the Suzuki home run. Carson Kelly, who had a two run home run off Corbin Burns in the second inning, hit a three run shot. So he's knocked in five. It is crazy.

[Cavino]

And another hit just now.

[Israel Gutierrez]

And this has been a standalone game. There's been no other games on today. So if you're fiending for baseball, maybe you have the day off. You're watching an incredible baseball game.

[Rich]

Yeah. The funny part is DB much like my dad in the 80s. Oh, yeah. After the seventh inning. Let's beat traffic. There was someone that went home when this game was on.

[Cavino]

That's the worst. You're so right about that seventh inning.

[Rich]

How many times has your dad or grumpy uncle been like, oh, well, let's beat traffic. We'll leave in, like, after the seventh inning stretch.

[Cavino]

Oh, my God. Yeah. 1113 Cubs.

[Rich]

Wow.

[Cavino]

In the eighth.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I bet you Craig Counsel was throwing his phone, and then now he's mad that he did. Tory Lavella is doing the same thing with the. With the Diamondbacks.

[Rich]

Wow. Thanks for the update. Update. DB 1311 Cubs. Bottom eight, one out.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I'm sorry to interrupt. It's happened so many times, I had to make sure there weren't replays.

[Cavino]

Right, right.

[Israel Gutierrez]

You're thinking like, oh, wait, I just saw Carson Kelly walking around the diamond. Oh, that was live. Yeah. It's nuts.

[Rich]

Damn.

[Cavino]

So thank you, DB for the update. Wild game going on as we speak, but some wild news from Luca. And we want to ask you, have you ever ruined your own property because you just couldn't control yourself?

[Rich]

What happened? How many tennis rackets have been broken?

[Cavino]

I mean, is there any sense of satisfaction? Like when you think of Paul O'Neill? Right. The way he would take it out on a gatorade cooler or the water cooler, he'd just be slamming his bat, busting everything. Everything that's embarrassed. It's embarrassing behavior. It is, right?

[Israel Gutierrez]

You gotta.

[Cavino]

You think he felt better after that?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Narcissistic. After a little while, it's almost a little, like, too showy, and you're like, all right, you gotta tone it down a little bit.

[Cavino]

You look like a big baby. And the only reason I was tolerant of it is cause I loved Paul O'Neal and I knew what he brought to the team. But if I was anyone else watching.

[Israel Gutierrez]

That, like, it's kind of cringey.

[Cavino]

You're like, yeah, you would hate that.

[Rich]

I mean, at any level, think about from little league to rec sports, that you always know the guy that gets out, who kicks his glove in the outfield if he misses a fly ball, or the guy that's hits his bat against a fence. Like, you just broke a bat, like I said. Or like DB Said. Golf clubs are victims. Tennis rackets. I just mentioned. How many times have you seen a tennis player, like, slamming down the. Those are nice rackets. Part of their collection.

[Cavino]

I don't like that either. Yeah, I think that's a bad look. But, you know, you can't judge either, because I guess everyone has a breaking point. That's the other thing too. Like, Paul O'Neill is an exception. What? He had that many breaking points, he just couldn't control himself. Everybody has a breaking point. I think that was Lucas and I. You know, although I'm not a fan of this behavior, I don't think anybody is. I could see the shock that set in. He said he was. He was in shock, and he was angry and everything. Can you imagine?

[Rich]

I love the thought of. Have you been so fired up you were stupidly the guy that broke his own stuff.

[Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

But let me go back to Luca for a second.

[Cavino]

Sure.

[Rich]

If they win and they're like, the fourth or fifth favorite team to win out of Vegas. Right. I mean, the Lakers are a true contender. They got two of the biggest stars in the league. That's good enough.

[Cavino]

Right.

[Rich]

If they win the NBA title, does that make up for any sour feelings Luca has? Or do you think there is a part of him that's like, you know, I lost out on a ton of money. They uprooted my life. I had bought a house.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Is.

[Cavino]

He also shuts up people like, I don't know people on this channel who say that the bubble victory doesn't count. Like, give me a break. I think it does a lot. It does A lot.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I think Luca, to answer your question, Rich, I think Luca's always going to have some, you know, bad feelings towards Dallas. Not towards the city, of course, towards the owner and the GM right now.

[Cavino]

But that shit that might motivate him.

[Rich]

If some girl dumped you, if some girl that you were in love with broke up with you in a, you know, in a weird, odd way, and you went on to fall in love and you met a new girl there, you still will have some odd feelings about how that ended.

[Cavino]

Yeah, but I use that as motivation. Right. And another. Another hit in the Cubs. Have bases loaded with one out, you know, another one.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It's interesting, too, if. If you could go back and do radio in New York, where you guys started, where I'm sure you had a blast, would you love to do it? The reason I bring that up is because it's usually because the people that you work with, and that's what the change with the Mavericks is. I think ultimately Luke is going to realize, you know what? Mark Cuban doesn't own the team anymore. Mark Cuban wasn't running everything. There's different faces in the same places. So it wasn't always going to be the same. So when you look back, I think he'll probably realize that because of Cuban selling the team and handing it over to the people that are making the decisions. And a GM that wasn't there when they drafted him, traded for him seven years ago in the draft, like, those things change. So maybe it wouldn't have ended well because these people were there.

[Cavino]

It's a really great point.

[Rich]

It's a great point. You know, out here in la, there was a big radio show that you guys listened to out here. When we were on the east coast out here, Kevin and Bean was a big deal, right?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Sure.

[Cavino]

Yeah. And K Rock, la.

[Rich]

And isn't one of the. Kevin is now back doing afternoons by himself, and I'm wondering if he went back and he's like, this is not the same place.

[Cavino]

But it's like what you tell your wife all the time. Rich's wife, Sarah, often misses the fun times. Going to the bar in New York City, hanging out with other friends. It's like, yeah, but none of those people are there anymore hanging out the way they used to be.

[Rich]

When my wife left Texas and moved to New York and now la, she'll sometimes be like, I miss getting queso with Loren at the Mexican spot. I miss going to the gym with Lindsey and doing that. She misses some of those things. And I said, babe, all the people you talk about, like yourself, have children, jobs, everything. You, you can't. You're missing something that doesn't exist.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Yes, that's a great way to put it.

[Rich]

That doesn't exist anymore.

[Cavino]

That's really it. So Luca has to move on because you're right, that really doesn't exist anymore. And I think he uses that as motivation. But I want to make it clear, too. If you haven't seen the clip again, Luca with Malika Andrews. He's clearly emotional or talking about how emotional he was. But he seems to be all smiles and in good spirits. It's not like he's sitting there with any sort of remorse or anything. He's just telling the story and he's being honest about it. But you could see that he's in good spirits now. So let's make that clear. I think he's ready for the playoffs with the Lakers. I'd love to see them win, but your thoughts? I want to know when you blew a fuse like my dad.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade.

[Rich]

The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions.

[Israel Gutierrez]

From the building of the corps that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport.

[Rich]

I just felt like the biggest thing.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Was to earn the trust of the.

[Rich]

Players and let the players know that we were here to try to help.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper, who everyone seems to love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore.

[Rich]

For guys that have changed it.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Come revisit this. Magical warriors ride. This is Dub Dynasty.

[Rich]

The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Listen to Dub Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Danny G]

Are your ears bored? Yeah. Are you looking for a new podcast that will make you laugh, learn and say gay? Yeah. Then tune in to locatora radio season 10 today. Okay. I'm Diosa. I'm Mala, the host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a miniseries, totally nostalgic. A four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen. All the girlies doing their things. All of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to locatora radio season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Israel Gutierrez]

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found except for a cassette tape lodged in the player. On that tape were 10 vile.

[Cavino]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Oh, my God.

[Cavino]

Oh, my God.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Cavino]

Seeing red a la Chevelle style. Chicago rock, Iowa. Sam. I love it. Chevelle. Such an underrated band. I'll be playing them tonight Every night on Turbo 41 on SiriusXM. I'm Cavino, that is Rich from Pop2K on SiriusXM. But we join forces to do the best show on radio. Cavino and Rich. Best show on radio according to us. Cavino and Rich.

[Rich]

That's what your mom said, right? She's like, you guys are the best.

[Israel Gutierrez]

The best show from 5 to 7 on this network.

[Cavino]

Yes, I agree. The world famous CNR on FSR. Happy holiday weekend, Passover Easter. Good Friday, everybody, and thank you for hanging out with us.

[Rich]

Chevelle, one of your favorite bands from Chicago.

[Cavino]

Chevelle Disturbed, I have to say, maybe Chicago.

[Rich]

I was going to say the 85 Bears when they did the super bowl shuffle.

[Cavino]

Yeah, that was.

[Rich]

I mean, talking about, you know, music out of Chicago.

[Cavino]

Shuffle on down. Doing it for you. So right now we're live from the Tyrack.com studio. CNR here. Get ready for the next hilarious PayPal campaign with Will Ferrell singing his rendition of Fleetwood Mac's go your own way. Wait for it in the bathtub. Check out the teaser that dropped yesterday and the commercial on Saturday during basketball games this weekend. I love all those Will Ferrell commercials, man. I think they're great. So thanks again for hanging out with us before we get into this Jake Paul fight and Cavino or Belichick giving away prizes. You were so mad you did what? That's really what we're asking right now. Because Lucas said he threw his phone the moment he found out this trade was real and that it was true. He broke his iPhone. And where he. I want to know where he threw it, though. Like, across the room.

[Rich]

Clearly, this guy.

[Cavino]

Did he throw it at his butler? Who did he throw it at?

[Rich]

Doesn't have Apple care because he still has the cracked screen. I just cracked my screen. It's like 20, 29 bucks. But take a listen. Malika Andrews, who we love with Luca, you hang up the phone the night.

[Cavino]

You'Re traded and you threw it?

[Danny G]

Yes.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Do you have that phone?

[Cavino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

You still use that phone?

[Rich]

Yeah. Still works.

[Cavino]

Hey, and by the way, we know her to be a sweet woman. I'm just saying that not every woman we worked with was very sweet to us. She was very sweet. Just throwing that out there. So you were so mad you did what?

[Rich]

We'll take a couple.

[Cavino]

Take your phone calls and move on.

[Rich]

And I have a music challenge for everyone here in the studio. We're going to do a music challenge before we get into NBA playoffs. And there's a story about Jackson Dart we want to get to. We're going to play a game. Like, you said a lot to get to. Say hi to our pal Tripp in Vegas. Hey, Tripp.

[Cavino]

Hey, Tripp.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Hey. Good afternoon. It's definitely my favorite show on the radio.

[Rich]

Thank you, brother. Hey.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Yes, sir.

[Rich]

Good to talk.

[Israel Gutierrez]

So we used to have squirrels that.

[Danny G]

Would go in and out of my.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Attic when I was a kid. My father got mad one day he's.

[Rich]

Like, I'm gonna end this. Well, he had bought birdshot to shoot.

[Israel Gutierrez]

The squirrel, but he grabbed the wrong shotgun that had buckshot and shot off the bricks, off the corner of that. He killed the squirrel, but he shot the corner of the house.

[Rich]

The look on his face was priceless. Yeah, listen, Sometimes you destroy your own stuff and you feel like such an ass clown. Anger takes over.

[Cavino]

You have a.

[Rich]

You have a what you think is a brilliant idea, and it doesn't work out. Let's go to Brian in Vegas. What's up, man? Hey.

[Israel Gutierrez]

What's up, guys?

[Rich]

Hey.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Me and Tripp need to meet up because we're. We must be somewhere close out here in Vegas.

[Rich]

Let me tell you something. You guys should Both meet up. June 20th to the 22nd. We're gonna have a big Cavino and Rich party in Las Vegas, so you better be there, brother.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll be there for sure. But. Yeah.

[Rich]

So about the whole Luca thing.

[Israel Gutierrez]

He's gonna. He's gonna have feelings against them regardless, but he can also be very excited. So I'm excited. I'm a Laker fan, so I'm a. I'm excited for him to go through the playoffs and him and LeBron see what they. See what they could do with the dynamic duo, and even Reed, too. But anyway, the whole. If I've ever destroyed my own stuff. Yes, I had. I had a laptop, kind of a busted old laptop that I bought off my buddy for, like, a hundred bucks.

[Rich]

While I'm an online poker player.

[Israel Gutierrez]

And one night, it wasn't going very good, and I was in. I don't know, 100 bucks, 150 bucks, something like that. I got rivered, and it was like. It was. I got so mad, I threw that thing on the ground, and it busted into, like, 100 pieces. I regretted it a little bit, but not a ton, because it was an old one anyway.

[Rich]

But still, I mean.

[Cavino]

And you know, what kind of. It's acceptable. I can't say respectable, but it's acceptable. Because when I think of the Lucas story and I hear your story again, everybody. No one's immune to this. Everybody has a breaking point, and it's true. And I could see, like, emotions are at their height. I can't imagine how Luca felt. That's. That's blindsided in a major way. It's a matter of. If you act like this all the time, you know, that's the problem.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It made me think of this great episode of Family Matters. It's called Driving Carl Crazy. Where Carl Winslow has, like, high blood pressure, I think, due to getting angry. So he has this little thing where he's like, 3, 2, 1. 1, 2, 3. What the heck is bothering me? And he eventually, like, loses it.

[Cavino]

And it's just great.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Episode of Family Matters.

[Rich]

Hey, Sam, any Carl Winslow reference is always welcome on the show.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Cause that was one of my favorite shows.

[Rich]

You know what? Before we get to DB's update, could we do a quick music challenge in the studio?

[Cavino]

Wait, hold on. I imagine Steve Urkel pushed him to his limits at one point.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Probably Steve Urkel related.

[Rich]

Got any cheese?

[Cavino]

Yeah, I imagine he exploded at Steve at least at one point.

[Rich]

Hey, Laura.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Did I do that?

[Cavino]

Did I do that?

[Rich]

All right, real quick. Music challenge. This is a viral thing on social media, and I want to see if anyone in the studio can nail it. It'll take a second.

[Cavino]

Oh, by the way, Rich, I had one last story. You remember that one time our old producer got so mad while we were on the air live, and he came in and threw a chair across the room.

[Rich]

Do you remember that, though?

[Cavino]

Yeah, but, like, things like that do happen. You know, we just sat there and watched like, is this guy serious right now? Through a chair in the studio. Who does that? He threw a shoe.

[Israel Gutierrez]

That's crazy.

[Cavino]

Yeah, no, it's true.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I wait until I get home to do those sort of things.

[Cavino]

Like, man, you really trying to make an impact. They're like, I don't get that behavior. It's just.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It's a little bit self serving.

[Rich]

Yeah, not a little.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It's very self serving.

[Rich]

I once had a buddy who did the flip out. He left the restaurant. We were having a radio meeting, and he was fed up with, like, you know, something at the ratings or the boss told him to do something. He's like, why? I'm out of here. He goes to kick over the chair and storm out, but his jacket got caught on his chair, so he was like. He was stuck.

[Cavino]

He was like, embarrassing.

[Rich]

Further embarrassing. Further embarrassing.

[Cavino]

Not exactly making the point you wanted to make.

[Rich]

Well, you know what? I want to go to Dan Byer first, and then we'll do the music challenge.

[Cavino]

Perfect.

[Rich]

Perfect. Let's get DB's update. What's up, Dan?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Guys, it was a crazy day in Chicago on the north side. We told you. Cubs had a 21 lead on the Diamondbacks at the end of the sixth. In the seventh inning, it got crazy when the Cubs put six on the board, including. Including a grand slam by Ian Hap. Then there was another grand slam this time for the Diamondbacks. In the top of the 8th it was Eugenio Suarez hit a grand slam followed by Lourdes Goriel Jr's three run home run. Arizona looks like they're running away with it right. It's 117 in the top of the eighth inning. They go to the bottom half of the eighth inning. Cubs rally. Kyle Tucker's hit a two run shot. Now Chicago's in the lead. And then this here's a drive in.

[Cavino]

The deep right center. Back goes Thomas. This ball's gone.

[Israel Gutierrez]

A home run for Suzuki and the.

[Cavino]

Cubs take a 13 to 11 lead.

[Israel Gutierrez]

That's how it would end on the Cubs radio network. So the craziness at Wrigley ends in that 1311 affair. Lakers promoted GM Rol Rob Pelinka, the president of basketball operations, giving him a contract extension as well. News first reported by ESPN who also reports that spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is at home and resting after he was taken to a local hospital Tuesday night after an incident at a restaurant. Tonight Heaton Hawks 7, Eastern Mavericks and Grizzlies 9:30 Eastern Time. John Moran expected to play despite being a gametime decision because of his ankle injury and engulf second round of the RBC Heritage. Justin Thomas is your second round leader. He's at 12 under par. Shots clear of Siwu Kim and Russell Henley. Guys, back to you.

[Cavino]

Thank you Dan Beyer, db. So Luca, I think he uses this as fuel to the fire, man. Actually it gets me excited that these emotions were real and now he's just ready to unleash with the Lakers. The LA Lucas number one selling jersey has to make him feel good.

[Rich]

Now I'm going to put this music challenge and you guys to the test and just a few minutes. So hang tight. We'll we'll do it in about five. I was just looking at the pitching matchups for tonight because as as of now I know we're only we're less than 20 games into the baseball season but Kavito and I are tied in our Met Yankees Bet they're both 12 and 7. Yeah, and I was like tonight I wonder if Rodone will show up for the Yankees. I know he's has his his ups and downs. Not the acquisition you thought. I did tell you Max Freed was going to be a stud.

[Cavino]

Yeah, he's.

[Rich]

And you doubted me?

[Cavino]

I didn't doubt it. I didn't know much about him. As in I'm more of an AL guy.

[Rich]

Two NL guys that I told you you'd love Soto until he left You. And I'm telling you, Max Freed.

[Cavino]

You mean Juan. So so.

[Rich]

He's so so. But you know what? The fact that he's so so in the middle.

[Cavino]

Don't call me so so.

[Rich]

The fact that he's so so and they're 12 and 7. I could be he. I'm okay with that, Sammy. So, so Rodone pitching tonight against Drew Rasmussen. And when I say Drew, Matt Rasmussen isn't your instinct. Like, he's got to be related to.

[Cavino]

The son of Dennis.

[Rich]

Dennis. And I'm not seeing a relationship. The nephew of Dennis, not the son.

[Cavino]

Maybe a distant cousin. Dennis Rasmussen.

[Rich]

Like, what's the chance? You know, a lot of times you'll see a name and you're like, oh, that must be the kid of the guy we watch in the 80s or 90s. I'm not finding a relation right now. What's the chance of Rasmussen's, I don't.

[Cavino]

Know, making it to the bigs.

[Rich]

I was like, oh, that's gotta be Dennis's kid.

[Cavino]

It's shocking, you know, Like, I bust the rhymes. No relation to Leanne Rhymes. And they both made it in music.

[Rich]

I know. Who would've thought?

[Cavino]

You, right, I know. I thought they had to be like brother, sister or cousins or something.

[Rich]

That's the example we always go to. All right, hey, listen, little music challenge. I'm going to put you guys to the test in the studio. Plus we'll talk some NBA playoffs and a great story that has to do with Jackson Dart. And we will do trivia, give away some prizes on a Friday. More Covino and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Cavino]

[Cavino]

He's certainly on that like Mount Rushmore.

[Rich]

For guys that have changed it.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Come revisit this magical warriors ride. This is Dove Dynasty.

[Rich]

The Dubs dynasty is still very much alive.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Listen to Dub Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle. No belongings were found, except for a cassette tape lodged in the player on that tape were 10 vile.

[Cavino]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Rotel esque. Oh my God. Oh my God. Horrific stories that to this day have been kept restricted from the public. Until now. You feeling this too? A horror anthology podcast. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

[Danny G]

Are your ears bored? Yeah. Are you looking for a new podcast that will make you laugh, learn and say, que? Yeah. Then tune in to locatora radio season 10 today.

[Cavino]

Okay.

[Danny G]

I'm Diosa. I'm Mala, the host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a miniseries, totally nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina, Sky, Evie Queen. All the girlies doing their things. All of the beauty reflected right back at us. Us. It was everything. Tune in to locatora radio season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your Podcasts.

[Rich]

All right, to the edge.

[Cavino]

Not to lose my head. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio Iowa. Sam on the boombox on the ones and twos. And Danny G's breakdancing in the studio doing the robot as we speak.

[Rich]

How many times has this been sampled, man?

[Cavino]

I don't know. I don't have that number, but few times.

[Rich]

I'd say hundreds this weekend, Easter weekend, passover still going on. So enjoy your time with friends and fam and don't lie to yourself. If you die Easter eggs with your kids, you're not going to make egg salad, you're not going to eat the hard boiled eggs. Just throw them out on Monday.

[Cavino]

You're supposed to dye potatoes or something because eggs are too expensive. Die rocks. Right now we're live from the tirerack.com studio. Remember, after the show our podcast goes up. So if you miss any of today's show, any show ever, listen to the podcast. Search Covino and Rich where you get your podcasts. And a reminder tomorrow morning, this holiday weekend, every Saturday our best of the week goes up. And it was an action packed week. We filled in for Dan Patrick Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. You may have missed a lot of that. So check the best of the week tomorrow and follow rate and review. Give it 5 stars. Just search Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcasts. And speaking of podcasts, Rich, brand new, over promised our bonus pod. You could watch. It's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Definitely check it out. It's 22. How about this? Give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world.

[Rich]

That slogan's already taken.

[Cavino]

Is it?

[Rich]

So here's what I want to do. I don't want to over promise but I want to talk some NBA playoffs. There's a great story and it has to do with Jackson dart and the NFL draft which is less than a week away. And we are going to play a game is a Cavino or Belichick. So an action packed next hour. But real quick, there's a music challenge that's on TikTok and Instagram. It's like a week old or so but we haven't done it here and I want to see if anyone in the studio can nail it. It if you don't know what I'm talking about. It's called the Whitney Houston challenge in the song I will always love you. Towards the end there's a break and then the drum comes back and I want to see if anyone in the studio could time the drum and when I say time the drum, you got to slam your hand down real hard. We'll go one at a time. Let me give you an example. Take a listen. I was Sam. And now. Now here's the pause. You got to slam your hand down when you think the drum comes back. All right? So I was. I was saying you go first. Okay, Start it up.

[Israel Gutierrez]

What am I supposed to do?

[Rich]

Start it up and slam your hand down when you think that drum comes back. See if you could time it.

[Israel Gutierrez]

This is a thing.

[Rich]

This is a thing. It's all over Tik Tok and Instagram.

[Israel Gutierrez]

This is a thing.

[Rich]

I bet 20 bucks you can't do it on your first time. Go ahead, slam your hand when you're ready. You're late. I was late. You're late. Danny G, you're up.

[Cavino]

Up.

[Israel Gutierrez]

All right, let's go.

[Rich]

Look at Danny G counting to himself.

[Cavino]

Way early.

[Rich]

Dan Byer, you shot or what?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Danny's breaking stuff in here. Second early. Should I do it like Family Feud? One arm behind my back.

[Rich]

One arm. All right, Dan Buyer's up. And by the way, this is a dumb tik tok trend that you'll probably see now that I.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Very dumb.

[Rich]

Right? Here we go. Dan Buyer.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Closest one yet, though.

[Rich]

You know why?

[Cavino]

Because when you're doing it, it feels so long.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It does.

[Rich]

Let me give it a shot.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Especially in radio time.

[Rich]

All right, here we go. I'm, like, counting in my head. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Oh, I'm way early.

[Cavino]

You are early, too, because Danny T's right. In radio seconds, let's say it's five seconds. That feels like 10 seconds.

[Israel Gutierrez]

It sure does.

[Rich]

In Radio Camino, you're the last guy that has a chance.

[Cavino]

All. Let's go. None of us got it.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Come on.

[Rich]

Figured I'd break up the sports with a dumb challenge. Here we go. Kavino, you're up.

[Cavino]

1, 2, 3, 4.

[Rich]

You're late. I may have had it, though.

[Cavino]

It was like a split second.

[Israel Gutierrez]

You were. You were closest.

[Cavino]

I was, like, right where I was about to hit. It was.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Ah, but you also got to see what all of us did, you know.

[Cavino]

Hey, it is sweeping the nation somehow. Of all people. You believe Paula Abdul got it on the first shot. I saw that first shot. She got it.

[Rich]

She's a musician and, you know, dancer and knows nose rhythm.

[Cavino]

I mean. Yeah, you're being kind by saying she's a musician.

[Rich]

I'm sorry. I mean, are you not.

[Cavino]

Do you love her?

[Israel Gutierrez]

Did she dance with a cartoon or something?

[Cavino]

MC Scat Cat is a bigger musician.

[Rich]

Straight up. I think you're giving it out enough credit.

[Cavino]

I mean, I love some of those songs.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Do you know who wrote I Will Always Love youe?

[Cavino]

Yes. Dolly Parton.

[Rich]

Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton.

[Cavino]

Thank you. So, yes, if you have the TGA like Rich does, that is definitely viral. It's the TGA Teenage Girl algorithm. If you have that. Yes, then you will. You are bouncing.

[Rich]

Incorrect. My algorithm is ass cheeks, the Mets and coaching tips.

[Cavino]

No, no. And viral challenges like that. But it is fun. It is fun because it's very hard to time.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Can I just say, I'm happy that younger people are listening to Whitney Houston. So that's fine.

[Rich]

Hey, Sam, I want you to. I'm gonna give one person one more chance. I was Sam. You. I choo.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Okay.

[Rich]

I think you could do it. All right, one more. And don't worry, we're going to get to NBA and NFL draft coming up. Slam your hand down hard, Sam. Come on.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Oh.

[Rich]

That hurt.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Let me go really quick. I think I could get it.

[Rich]

All right, Danny G. Give Danny G one more shot.

[Cavino]

So stupid.

[Israel Gutierrez]

I heard my anger.

[Rich]

I heard myself. I was Sam's on the IO Mail.

[Cavino]

Oh, yeah, I got it.

[Rich]

I think Danny was the closest.

[Cavino]

It was. It was staggered.

[Rich]

It was staggered.

[Israel Gutierrez]

Sounded like an echo.

[Cavino]

You know how many idiots were banging their dashboard on this ride home? I don't know.

[Rich]

And you know you're gonna do that dumb crap with your family tonight. Hey, again. NBA playoffs this weekend. We'll talk some NFL draft. More Covino and Rich next.
