There you go. Hey, it's a Thursday. Let's re rock it out. Come on, let's do this action packed show for you. Today we got to talk about Cam Newton, Carl Anthony Towns. Old school when 50 hits. Like I said, we throw it back on Thursdays plus we're joined by the Mexican monster now. Don't worry, I'm not pulling my pants down or anything. We're joined by David Benavidez, El Monstro. He's fighting Saturday. We'll be in Vegas tomorrow for the fight. Who calls him the Mexican monster? Mike Tyson. Dev. Mike Tyson. So the Mexican monster, David Benavidez taken on David Morales. The battle of the Davids. The Davids. That's his Saturday night on pay per view. I thought you were talking about David Hasselhoff. No, no, no, no. But we're gon joined by one of the greatest light heavyweights out there. The guy that people said for years even Tyson said for years Canelo was ducking him. So talk to David Benavidez on the show and gotta start off by saying good day to you. And man, speaking of fighting, the Paul brothers got us again. Damn it, I hate them. Damn. But I stupidly watch all their stuff. Damn. Damn. The other day we said big announcement. Jake Paul Logan. Paul in March. They're gonna fight each other. I mean of course we leaned into we think, I guess. But I did buy into it because it was advertised as an HBO Max sort of thing like wow, okay. But turns out they're not fighting at all. You are fake news. This is. This is like when Snoop Dogg announced he had the big announcement that he was gonna quit smoking, Remember? And I remember thinking, man, Snoop Dogg, no more weed. And turns out, just kidding. It was promoting something or other, some product, a smoked edible cooker, a smokeless cooker. Smokeless something. I don't smoke no more. Yeah. So as he's giving up the smoker, and you're like, what? No way. Apparently, the Paul brothers have signed a deal with hbo Max, and they have a reality show, Paul American. Like, All American, Paul American, which debuts in March. Not a fight at all. You got us. Aha. Anyway, so the Paul brothers tricked us. Well, remember what they were saying to the fight you've been waiting for for 10 years? We did say. I don't know if anyone was waiting for that fight for 10 years. The only positive and silver lining I saw to it was, well, maybe it lights a fire for other people to get that fight in there. Two brothers are willing to fight. What's Canelo and Benavidez excuse. Right? But maybe this opens up more opportunities for fights we actually want to see. Like, I would want to see Jake Paul fight some other people, not necessarily his brother, you know, for the fun of it. So maybe the show's good. Who knows? But we got got. And there you have it, the other big story. By the way, if you have thoughts on any of this. 87799 on Fox, Danny G's on standby. What up, Danny G, Iowa. Sam, Dan Beyer. Everybody's hanging out today. Covino and Richard. Thank you, FOX Sports Radio Nation, for hanging with us. The other big story today is Cam Newton and his ridiculous hat. Oh, I thought you were going to say the woman dressed like a mermaid that almost got eaten by a fish. Did you see that video floating around social media? I mean, that and the terrible footage of the. The plane in D.C. american Airlines flight. Yeah, that was horrible. A lot of random stories. A lot of terrible stories. But this Cam Newton one is right in our wheelhouse of. Really? Did he say that? Wait, wait, did he really say that? Do I respect that? Do I hate that? I can tell you what, Mike, who runs this place, I heard him Ra. I heard him screaming in the hallway. Who? The guy that runs I Heart. Yeah, I heard screaming in the hallway. And I was like, who's getting yelled at? You mean the only Panthers fan we know. That is true. And he was saying, you know, that's why I never liked Cam Newton. I was a Panthers fan. You want My answer. So I know your answer, Mike. He was fired up about it. It's a really weird story. And he has a really weird hat. Take a listen. This is the worst looking hat I ever saw. Take a listen to Cam Newton when he was with Stephen A. On first take. I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that league MVP for a Super bowl championship, would you do it? Nope. Oh, really? Really. Wow. What's more important, impact or championships? If we're being honest, the impact of you holding yourself accountable to say everybody has a responsibility to do. And you can say as an MVP award winner or all American, you've held yourself or you've held your end of the bargain down. And that's what it really comes down to for me. I know that's not the popular pick. I'm not trying to be popularized. But my, my take is I'm taking individual success because I did my job. Yeah, barf to you. Guess what? It's not an individual sport, you bonehead. Yeah, if you were a fighter or a tennis player, if you played ping pong, these are all great things. Not when you're in a team sport. What a bonehead. And I like Cam. I do not like Cam. Asinine answer. Now the thing is ridiculous. Do you admire the honesty? It makes me want to put my hand to the screen and knock that hat off and give him a karate K. It makes no sense, dude. And like I said, I like him. He says some outlandish things. He says things that make you say, hmm, he stirs it up. I'll credit him there. Right? And he's entertaining. And he was a difference maker. I get it. You remember when he said, like, the difference between him and a Brock Purdy? He was a difference maker. I get it. Because he's a different level of athlete, a different level of superstar. He was. But he's also supposed to be a great leader of a team. The type of guy that makes people want to play for him that he wasn't. Therefore, when you think about what a team sports supposed to be, he failed because he never led his team to victory. This isn't low level, you know, Sunday softball, pickup basketball, where you're like, well, I played good, but the team lost. Who cares? This is the National Football League. This is the Super Bowl. To have that answer. And I get it. I do admire the honesty. But you are. You. You admire the honesty when it's like a good answer. That's the weakest answer for a team sport ever. That's why you look at Guys, you're gonna roll your eyes. You're gonna say, oh, Derek Jeter. What did Derek Jeter always say? Many Yankees have said it. I get it. Here's the gift bag. Don't tell anyone. Is that what Derek Jeter said? No, he never said that. That was a rumor. That was a really good night. There's no name on the back of the jersey, of course no name on the back of a Yankees jersey because they play for the name on the front. And what's a big trend? That's how, that's the championship mentality. That's a team mentality. The me, me, me mentality is why teams fail. It's why I don't believe in your Mets moving forward because they put so much emphasis around Juan Soto. When it's about one guy. When it's about one guy, it leaves everybody else feeling flat. No one else likes that feeling. I don't think it's about Soto. I think it's, they paid him. So we'll, we'll see, but see what happens. I think there was a trend you saw for a while. DB could attest to this. Especially in college football in the NFL where teams would opt to not be introduced out of the tunnel. We come out as a team, like, you know, player intros, like, you have to do it that way. I was friends, a success, because they all fought together and they fought for the same money together and they wrote it out and they all won together. When one person thinks they're better than everybody else. And by the way, he's saying the exact opposite of what every other championship and leader says. You know what I mean? Like, no, I don't play for personal accolades. I play for championships. It's a team sport, so we should say the exact opposite. No one else says it because it makes no sense. That's the most selfish answer and self serving, self centered answer you could give as a team player on a team sport. If he was a fighter in the ufc, in the Octagon, if it was a one man only sport, then yes, that makes sense. If he was an Olympic diver, yes. Anything else? It's the exact opposite of truth and the exact opposite of logic. Now you're insinuating I should cancel him. Speaking to the kids in the Little League and Pop Warner. Yeah. And dude, I'm not mad at him. It's just like, did he really say that? And he tried to make it like it made sense because it doesn't. It does not make sense. Should he be proud of it? Yes. Like all Right. Let's break it down to the smallest of levels. Right. If you were playing in a softball game, if you were playing in a baseball game growing up, football game growing up. Yeah. You feel good if you did good. Right. There's that feeling of, man, I went 4 for 4. Sucks that we lost, but I went 4 for 4. There's that sense of, of fulfillment. You get that. You did your part. You get it. But you're just one piece of that puzzle. You still lost. Listen, you're allowed to be selfish when you're not a pro. Exactly. I've said to you, dude, when I play Sunday softball with my buddies, If I go 4 for 4 and we lose, let's be honest, unless it's like the championship game, I rather that than go 0 for 4 and my team wins. I don't. I don't step away from my wife and kids for an hour. How about this? Play crappy quarterback. This is the other level. He's not just another cog in the wheel. He is the quarterback. And the difference between him and, let's say, a current day Baker Mayfield. Yeah. Is he a better athlete than Baker Mayfield? More of a difference maker? Absolutely. Cam Newton was all of that. And that's why you're more aggravated. He had the potential to be one of the greatest of all time. The players want to play for Baker Mayfield. You see that? They want to play for him because he's in it. He believes in the team. He's one of the guys. These other dudes, they didn't want to play for Cam that same way. And that was the problem. That's a bad leader. You're the quarterback. You got to be a good leader. You're not playing for yourself. You can't win by yourself. Understandable and honest or absurd? Dan Buyer. What do you think, buddy boy? Good to see you. Yeah, it's great to see you guys as well. Super Bowl 35. The last time we had individual announcements. Well, I should say Super Bowl 36 because the. The Rams were announced and then the Patriots ran out as a team. So it was 50. 50. That ruined everything in my mind. Covino, I know you love it, and I'm on the side of Cam Newton on this. I think that you develop yourself. Everything else plays into what it is. But if you're growing up, you're trying to be the best that you can be, and it's not a knock on anyone else. Like, would Dan Marino trade his career for a Super bowl ring? He's arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Do you trade all that to be, to his point, Brad Johnson? I don't think I, you know, do you rather be Brad Johnson or Dan Marino? Great question. You mean the, the, the stigma that Dan Marino has to live with for the rest of his life? That he was one of the greatest, but he never won? He's in the game of winning. That's what you're in the league to do. That's the name of the game. That's the whole purpose and point. So yeah, you were great, but he never won one. I think Dan Marino without a doubt would even hesitate to say, yeah, I would trade everything for the Super Bowl. If you're, if you're Mike Trout, a guy that you know, when not hurt is compared to Mickey Mantle, the guy like sniffed the playoff once. If you're Mike Trout, do you, when all said and done, you rather waste away in Anaheim down there playing for the Angels? Never really be a postseason guy, but at the end of the career, you'll have 500 home runs, bat 300 hall of Famer first ballot. Or would you rather be less of a star but have two World Series? Like I said, would you rather be Max Muncie or. I'm not saying Cam Newton should be ashamed of his career. The guy was incredible to even get to that point. One of the best to do it. We know that. So he should be proud of his accomplishments and proud of his accolades. But isn't it selfish to say I'd rather keep my personal accolade than to share a victory with the team that I led? All right, I have an idea. This is common sense. I have the answer. It's the most selfish response you could give. I don't love the Marino. I don't, dude. I'm a professional in being selfish. I'm the most self centered guy you know. And I'm telling you, it's absurd. True. I don't like the merino analogy. Because you're comparing a career to a Super Bowl. Cam Newton was asked, would you trade in the mvp? That's an individual honor. It wasn't like, yo, Cam, would you trade your career stats and everything for a Super Bowl? I think there's a difference there. Getting a trophy versus your career stats and numbers. Right? Like Dan Marino. I, I don't know if he would want to trade what he meant and how great Dan Marino was. You know, guys like Joe Montana say, damn, Marino is the best ever. I don't know if you trade that to be Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson. Or someone like that. But the Cam Newton thing comes across more selfish because it wasn't like, would you trade your career? It was, would you trade this one honor for this honor? Meaning like, hey, take away the mvp, but you want a Super Bowl? The answer is a no brainer. You want to be a Super bowl winner. And by the way, like, yeah, it was an honest answer, but it doesn't mean it was a good answer. Right? You don't always need to be that honest. Well, you know what? Your thoughts? Selfish, honest, refreshing, lame as hell. Your thoughts on Cam Newton saying he would not trade his MVP for a Super bowl ring? Your thoughts next. And like we said, big fight this weekend. David Benavidez. We'll talk to him within the hour. Talk a little more. NFL we'll go old school. A fun Thursday show right here on Cavino and Rich.

Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.

It's Questo, Questlove and Team supreme. And I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical lover. We enjoy speaking to the people who were the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers. But we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one on one conversations like MJP Hill chatting up with hitmaker Sam Holland, Sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe. And I've had pleasures in doing one on one conversations with Willow, Sonata, Maitreya, Kathleen, Hannah and the rza. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, alright? Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. I think Cam Newton's trying to steer it up, stirring up some controversy with his selfish comments. Team sports should never be about me, me, me. That's why they don't win as a team. Did you just say me, me, me? Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio, we're joined by David Benavidez. In a few minutes, the Mexican Monster fights. This weekend, David Benavidez versus David Morrell will be in Vegas tomorrow to get into the fight and then New Orleans for the Super Bowl. Covino and Rich. Everything at Covino and Rich. Right now.

Mr. Perfect. Remember, our Kurt Henning was from Minneapolis. I didn't know that. Great Kurt Henning, by the way, as we get to your phone calls about Cam Newton and the NFL, we're what, a week and a couple of days away from the Super Bowl. The average ticket price for Nolan's Eagles, Chiefs, they're saying, is about $7,300. Not the highest ever. What is the highest average ticket price? What's Super Bowl? I'll give you a hint. It's in the last, like five to 10 years. Is there a Super bowl you remember? Like, that's got to be the one. Oh, when you said the highest ever, I thought you on a plane when you were on edibles. That's what I thought. I thought maybe it was Vegas just because of the expensive stadium prices there. And it was like a hot city to go to for their first Super Bowl. Not the answer. What's your guess? Iowa Samuel. When the Patriots came in undefeated and played the Giants. Good guess, but not the answer. Db Any guesses? Do you know the answer to this one? I'll say. Chiefs Niners, first time around. That was the second most the highest. Average ticket cost $8,300. So about $1,000 more than the average ticket for this game when Tom Brady took on Mahomes down in Tampa. TB12 as a Buccaneer, where they beat the Chiefs and There was only 3,000 people in the stands, so. Funny. That clearly is a factor. I didn't even think of that demand. Oh, crap. So maybe that's supply. That doesn't count. That's like a jaded stat. Yeah, the COVID super bowl asterisks. Nah, that's. There are more than 3,000, but it was not 70,000. Now my fun fact stinks. Not really mine. Up to number two. To number one. And guess what? All is good. Yeah, it's just like a trick question kind of sort of. Man, I knew it had to be recent times, though. So welcome Back to the show. We appreciate it. Can we play the Cam Newton sound bite one more time just to wrap it up with your phone calls. Your thoughts on this? Rich is saying, is it honest? Is it backwards thinking? Is it refreshing? How do you feel about what Cam Newton said when it came to trading in an MVP for a Super bowl victory? Before you play the audio, what do you think the price was for Super Bowl 1? Oh, we've talked about this in the past. Not eight, not $8,300. No, it was average ticket price. Yeah, I'm gonna guess $17 a ticket. Close. Samuel. Thank you. $12. Oh, wow. $12 for Super Bowl. And it was 50 cents to park. Exactly how much those $12 in today's money back then. Or you know what, reverse that while there is inflation. Probably only a couple hundred bucks. Sam, it's not 8,000, I'll tell you that. Yeah, all right, I'm sorry. Back to the Stephen A. Talking to Cam Newton. Selfish or what? I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that league MVP for a Super bowl championship, would you do it? Nope. Oh, really? Really. Wow. What's more important, impact or championships? If we're being honest, the impact of you holding yourself accountable to say everybody has a responsibility to do. And you can say as an MVP award winner or all American, you've held yourself or you've held your end of the bargain down. And that's what it really comes down to. I know that's not the popular pick. I'm trying to be popularized. But you should because you paid for a second. My take is I'm taking individual success because I did my job. Now, you know, I thought about it even more. How about sharing this victory with all of the thousands and millions of fans you have for the pride of the city that you play for? No, your one stupid accolade means more than that. You kidding me? The one time announcement of and the MVP is Cam Newton meant more to him than celebrating with 50 plus teammates, staff, personnel, the fans, a parade. Exactly. Come on, wasn't his job to jump on that fumble? Yeah, yeah. Well, that he has said recently as one of his biggest regrets, obviously. So again, we like Cam, but there's no way that he is right in saying that he could think that all he wants. I mean, you know what, you could argue that he's an entertaining guy and we're talking about him. So a win for Cam Newton. Let's go to Eli in Visalia. Your thoughts? Selfish? Honest? Both? Ask clown. Awesome. What do you think? What's Happening Covino. What's happening, Rich? Elias McLean. Hey, man. So this is a prototypical type of stuff. If you would ask him that question during the season after the super bowl loss, he would lie through his teeth and say, oh, this is a team sport. But now that he don't really have much going on for him besides little podcast, well, he has to say that to stay relevant. Yeah, Think about that. If you were a GM or a coach, would you ever hire a guy who thought that way? No. So, yeah, he may be honest now, but he did not have that attitude then would hire that guy. Yo, Eli, that's a great point, because, you know. You know, truth comes out when you're no longer in the game, right? Like. Like, if we were done with our broadcast career and someone's like, all right, now tell me what you really think about some of the people you work for. Perhaps, you know, your answers would be different. That mentality is why they never won. That's the. Perhaps that's what's frustrating for the fans. It's the true colors. Carolina fan. It's just. It's almost like the true colors of Cam Newton came out in that comment. And again, he likes to stir it up. So maybe he's enjoying this. Wallace in Charlotte, who I can only imagine does not like that comment being from Charlotte. What's up? No, I don't like it at all, but it just goes back to when he was in the super bowl and fumbled the ball and ran away from the pile instead of trying to recover. He's always been selfish, and that's what all the fans here in Charlotte think about him, too. He's always been selfish. You know, last I checked, that's not a good quality, you know, don't lean into your bad qualities. That's the problem with today's world. Everyone leans into their own bad qualities. And narcissism, I love. That's a. That's a great point Kavino always makes when you think of what your worst traits might be. People, like, lean into him. Like, it's great. Like, hey, well, love me for who I am. Well, not if you could be better. I'm petty. I'm gonna live that up. Yeah. Pettiness is not a virtue, you know, what is, Sam? I know I have a lot of bad qualities. I try to fix them. Not like, try to be like it or not fix your bad qualities. Kavino's right. I was Sam. Yo fist bump to you. Because people should try to improve their bad qualities instead. Nothing bothers me more than When a man or a woman is sort of like, pain in the ass to deal with, and they're sort of like, well, that's just me. Like, it's almost like a Manny being Manny. A few years ago, before I met Brenda and I was online dating, saw a lot of this on females profiles. They said, this is how I am. This is how I am. It's just my sign. Too bad. Like, take me or love me or leave me. Yeah. I don't want to deal with it. Like, that's right. Don't. Don't enhance your worst traits. The end. All right, now let's say hi to Trevor in Texas to wrap it. Then we'll go to DB for an update. We'll go old school. We got Benavidez Action Pack, CNR on a Thursday. What's up, Trev? Hey, what's going on, guys? They take my call again? You guys are refreshing. You always let me chime in. No problem, man. What's up? This Cam Newton thing is. I mean, I would say it's disgusting, but at the same time, it's just who he is. Right? And I know that you guys just said that's not an excuse. What I will say, though, is there's some ring champions on that team. Luke Kikuy, I remember watching him get carted off crying, which pretty much ended his career because he got knocked out on the field. And I know that there's probably about 15 offensive linemen on that team, both first string and backups, that are not very happy with that comment, because me, you, probably everybody in the studio can't name a single one of them, but if they won a championship, that would have been the highlight of their life. Yeah. Honestly, what an insult to all the offensive linemen that fans the fans. There's a couple people, the coach, the fans that supported this team and the offense. Right. I'm. I'm with you on this. All right, let's go to our boy and yours, Dan Byer, for an update. Dan, what's up? I. I'll only talk to you, Rich, not Mr. 27 Home Run Steve Cavino. I have no idea on how many league titles you've won. Yeah, all I've heard about is your individual accomplishment of 27 Little League home runs. I've never heard about any division titles. I've never heard about any regional titles. So I just. Just saying. Damn, Buyer. What an amazing point I have not figured out over the last 20 years. Never won a championship. Would you give up your 20? National League, my Little League accolades They're hard to compare to Super Bowls. Oh, yeah, definitely. Would you Give up your 27 Little League home runs if you were said, oh, my team went to Cooperstown. Oh, went to Cooperstown. Without a doubt, yes. All right. Yeah. Yes, yes. By the way, Kavino stopped growing then. He's still five. Yeah, I was as big as I am now. And literally, one baseball note to pass along, Max Scherzer did sign with the Blue Jays one year, $15 million according to those reports. That's a good risk reward, I think, for the Blue Jays, right? I mean. Yeah, Might as well, right? Yeah, why not? The NFL says 2024 had the lowest amount of concussions since 2015, down 17% from a year ago. The big news in the NFL today stemming from Baltimore. The Baltimore Banner quoted six massage therapists from multiple spas, by the way, accusing Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of acting inappropriately during their sessions. Some spas immediately terminated Tucker as a client for what they say was inappropriate sexual behavior. Tucker has denied the allegations. He's called unequivocally false and hired a defamation lawyer to handle his case. The NFL says they are aware and now investigating those allegations. Eagles designated defensive end Brandon Graham to return from IR following a torn triceps muscle. Wall Street Journal says the FBI is investigating Heat guard Terry Rozier and his possible involvement with a sports gambling ring dating back to March of 2023, when he was a member of the Hornets and they played a game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Nashville, Tennessee, hopes to land a WNBA expansion franchise with an investor group that includes Peyton Manning, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill. And guys, the final number of nicknames for the Utah Hockey Club, down to three. They're going to choose it for next season and then move on with that name. Hockey club is one of them. So they are the Utah Hockey Club right now, that is one of the three finalists. Utah Mammoth in the Utah Wasatch. Oh, the Yeti's gone. I love the Yeti. See you later. Yeah. Rejected, right, db because of other companies that have Yeti in their name. Yeah, there's a problem with the Mammoth as well. There's a lacrosse team in Denver that's named the. The Mammoth, so there could be some conflict there. When Cleveland turned from the Indians to the Guardians for a minute, there was a hang up with the Guardians because it was a women's sports team. The Guardian. So. All right, thank you, Dan Buyer. And let me throw one thing in, being that I'm a Mets fan and I'll continue to care about the story. Pete Alonzo now being urged to overcome his, quote, sour grapes and accept the Mets offer. Is that an easy thing to do where you're like, no week offer, I'll go elsewhere and then nothing else happens? Do you think the Mets optically need to be like, hey, Pete, we'll give you a little more money so it looks like he's not a little b? I think so. Yeah. Do right by the guy, right. Give him a little more so it looks like he didn't come back. Right. All right. Yeah. Well, with this, want him to come in there all bitter about it? No doubt. All right. Well, hey, we got more Covino and Rich. We're going to go old school. And David Benavidez all next right here on cnr. Now the average time to hire for Most organizations is 30 to 45 days.

How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energyline with Nate and jsb Starting on February 4th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Good people, what's up? It's Questo Questlove and Team supreme. And I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss.

We enjoy speaking to the people who were the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers. But we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one on one conversations like I'm J Pill chatting up with hitmaker Sam Hollander, Sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe. And I've had pleasures in doing one on one conversations with Willow, Sonata, Matreya, Kathleen, Hannah and the rza. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, alright? Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pod. Oh, we reminiscing over you. We love reminiscing like the Little River Band. And we do it every Thursday. We're Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And because we got to make room for the WBC Light Heavyweight champion, David Benavidez fights this weekend. He'll be on the show. We're going to do old school and 50 hits a little early, like Mr. Furley. Let's hit it. Yeah, let's do it. Old school went 50 hits. There's a certain. Yeah. What we gonna do right here is go back back into time. Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old school when 50 hits at 50 after C&R give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, boy. Now, this is wild thought as we sit around streaming a million shows on Netflix, Apple, Hulu, Max. By the way, Danny, I know you and I are all about Apple tv between shrinking and Silo man. So good. Two of the best shows out right now. Don't sleep on paradise, though, Sterling, the K. Brown, that's on Hulu. But we're sitting around streaming a million shows. You're listening to podcasts. We live in a world where entertainment at your fingertips. To think back that on this day in 1933, the Lone Ranger debuted to 20 million listeners on the radio. That's when people would be like, a horse is coming. Yeah. It first debuted on a Detroit radio station, and then when a company called Mutual Radio Network picked it up nationally, over 20 million Americans were tuning into the Lone Ranger three times a week by 1939. Right. That's what I was gonna get at. So started in Detroit. Yeah. And then became a nationwide thing. And you have to think back old school, 1930s, you had the whole family sitting around the radio Walton style. Right. It sounds crazy, right? Like, yeah, you watch Back to the Future, and they go back to 1955, and it was like, fascinating. They're like, you have a TV, like. And that was 55. We're talking 33 to 39 here. To think that families would gather around the radio, that's imagine like listening to our podcast with your family in a circle. It's like, well, just earmuffs. Children, remember in A Christmas Story, that was in the Little Orphan Annie, Right. It's just that old school radio sort of thing. And that was the power of radio, and that's how we all fell in love with it. So there's so many questions, so many things that come to mind when you think about that. That's some of your favorite radio shows throughout history, some of your favorite personalities, because the Lone Ranger is one of those legendary shows. I mean, the movie flopped. Did you ever see the recent movie with. Who was it, Johnny Depp? Did you ever see it? I never saw it. I think Olivia Munn was in that with him, wasn't she? I don't remember. I never saw it. But growing up, you knew the legend of the Lone Ranger. That's how popular it was. Over 20 million people were tuning in to listen. So based on that thought, I mean, anything that comes to mind as far as radio and what it meant to you and lasting impressions. But are there shows today that would have been Great. So great that you would have still listened to them on the radio, probably most of them. Because you were just looking for entertainment at that stage of the game. And again, there's so many questions when you think about how families gathered around the radio. Like, are there old school forms of media and technology that you look back and say, yeah, I wish I could have, like, experienced what that was like. Yeah, but why do you say kids now? Like, radio still exists? No, but I'm saying kids now, at their fingertips, they grab the remote and they start playing on your smart TV and they go to YouTube, they go to Hulu, they go to Disney, they do all this stuff. Your kids will never know what it was like to go to Blockbuster, start in the A's, work your way to the Z's. They'll never know that. They'll never know. I mean, we never knew what it was like to sit around a radio with our families. We never knew that our kids will never know what it was like to wait in line to buy tickets to a concert or a game. There's a lot of technological advances, but when it comes to shows you would listen to, it's an odd question because wouldn't the answer be everything? Not really. Because I think obviously there's some shows where the dialogue's more important. And then during the commercial break, Covino and I were talking about shows Cove that had, like, really good transitions. Like Seinfeld, for instance. You don't think Seinfeld would have been a great radio show with the family with the baseline and the laughs and. And their stupid jokes and. Yeah, you could totally imagine a family sitting around the radio listening to that back in the day. It's being brought to you by Tide. Yeah. Even like Curb youb Enthusiasm with Stupid songs. I think that adds a lot. And when I think of old school radio and Lone Ranger and things like that, I think even a show like Dexter with the narration and doom beep. I can't imagine that being a radio show. I don't think Grandma Walton would have let us listen to that. No, but I could see that, you know, the way it's narrated. Like, you'd sit there and listen. I don't know. I think some shows would translate, some wouldn't. That's a great answer, Kavino, Considering true crime podcasts are the top category. Great point. The only category, I'll be honest, the only category that gets more views and listens than sports and comedy. True crime. So honestly, a show like Dexter would be like a top. A top tier old Timey times radio show. You gotta think about the shows. Radio shows and TV shows that just sparked your imagination again. Lone Rangers set the standard for so many families back in the 30s. As a guy who built his career in radio for me, and we talked about this recently, it was what really sparked my imagination was like, who are these guys talking on the radio? Like Casey Kasem who worked in this building? I'd hear that voice and I'd hear that reverb that a cousin Brucey had or a Casey Casem had. I'm like, who are these dudes? Because we didn't have the Internet at our fingertips to figure out the faces with the voice. Do you remember that feeling as a kid? I mean, not that we're not even that old, but the. That intrigue before the Internet really stuck with me. Before the Internet, who are you? Is in our lifetime. If you were alive in the 80s and 90s, until, let's say, social media came about in the 2000s. Before that, if you heard a radio host, a morning show, a sports talk host like, yo, When I was a kid and my dad would listen to Mike and the Mad Dog every day, I had no clue on planet Earth what they look like. So now when I think of Mad Mad Dog Russo with his Blue Steel look on first take. He's rocking a Magnum and a Blue Steel nowadays. Oh, yeah. Oh, you would never have known what they look like. Never. You know, there would always be something like hotshot nighttime dj. So in other words. And you thought he was. That sparked our imagination. Because these guys had cool names and cool voices, and they were so animated. They're cool jingles. Imagine how captivating a Lone Ranger must have been back then, right? Like, we will never know. That's the thing. Cause we never lived it. It was a simpler time to be entertained. Right? Cause think about it. What were people doing back then listening to shows like that on the radio, and then they would put records on and just sit around and listen to them together. But I guess it's similar to listening to an audiobook. No. Which I've never really done. I've dabbled here and there with audiobooks because they're really just telling stories when you're thinking about it. I listened to an audiobook recently, and it's that Bosch series, which is on Amazon Prime. And the actor from that show, they paid him to be the voice of the audiobooks. So it's acted out. So good old school in 50 hits. We started early to make room for David Benavidez, Your Thoughts when we give you the history of what happened on this day. It was sort of a life changing moment. Families gathered around the radio to Hear Lone Ranger, 87799 on Fox. Give us a call. What comes to mind? 87799 on Fox Again, we're Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We leave for this city tomorrow morning. We will be in Vegas for the Benavidez fight. What's up, Tripp? Hey, gentlemen. How are y'all today? We're good, man. What's up? Hey. So back in the 80s when we first got cable TV, I used to go. Because I grew up in the Southeast, I used to go visit my grandfather every Sunday. We used to sit outside and listen. He was a die hard Yankees fan. We used to sit out there and listen to the game. And that's the way I was brought up. I know it's a little off subject, but that's how I was brought up. Listening to baseball, dude, it's not off subject at all because there's a lot of people that still think baseball is the best radio sport. I agree with that. I do. If you're stuck in the. It's like comfort food. I love it. Stuck in the car and a game's on. Basketball, football, this definitely great play by play, people. But baseball, there's something about baseball on the radio. That's why you see a bunch of nerds at the stadium with their headphones on. My summer, my summers were narrated by the great Vin Scully. For real. And my childhood wouldn't have been the same without that dude playing around in the backyard. And you hear the game, you know you have the game on. Absolutely. I think that's one of. That would be it for us. I think, growing up, because I didn't listen to shows like the Lone Rain, we didn't have that. Exactly. Josh in Ohio, you're on with Covino and Rich. What's up, buddy? Hey, guys. A show that I watched about the 60s, which had a narrator on it, I believe was Daniel Stern from the Home Alone movies, was the Wonder Years. I think it told the story of the 60s and it really, it just gave. It gave a visualization for I'm an 80s baby, but it really gave an idea of what it was like for my parents to grow up in the 60s. That's a great answer, man. Josh, not only great answer, but I think you and Kavino just broke the glass on something. If you were an 80s baby like Josh and me and a lot of people, if you grew up in the 80s and 90s wonder years. Dexter. I'll throw in How I Met yout Mother. Narration. Why do we love narration? Because honestly, there's just something different about it. And it really goes back to old school shows on the radio. People love narration. Everybody hates Chris narration. Those would all translate well, yeah, when you think about it. All right, well, listen, coming up, we talked to David Benavidez, champion that fights this weekend in Vegas. So hang tight. That's next right here on cnr. Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle.
