Steve Covino
So we'll talk about that on over Promised. We'll talk about the battle of the cringe. There's two cringy athletes that have gone viral in the past 48 hours. So which one is the better? And boxing. There was a new fight announcement. We're going to talk about it all on over promised episode 92, Fox Sports Radio's YouTube channel right after this show an hour from now. But every Thursday we throw it back old school and 50 hits on the clock. And today we honor Morris the alligator, who was like 80 or 90 years old.
Rich Davis
Now you ask yourself, who is Morris the alligator?
Danny G.
Damn alligator bit my hand.
Rich Davis
Oh my God. The alligator that bit off of the lake. Ray Car Weather's hand, Chubbs Peterson.
Steve Covino
Hey, can I give a shout out to two animals that nobody's going to bring up right now?
Rich Davis
Well, before you do that, give everyone what you said during the break because it was so true. You said, we're not allowed to name these four because it's our parents. It's the boomer, Mount Rushmore. The boomer.
Steve Covino
Animals. More is straight up. Mr. Ed and Flipper. You mentioned Lassie and what was the other one?
Danny G.
And then I said Flipper, Old Yeller.
Iowa Sam
Yeah, those are the ones I added on. Honorable mention, Benji.
Steve Covino
Benji's honorable mention.
Rich Davis
That is definitely your mom and dad's. Like, if you. If you had this conversation where your mom, dad, aunts and uncles, they'd be like, Flipper and Mr. Ed.
Steve Covino
Don't forget Mr. Ed. Yeah, of course.
Rich Davis
Of course.
Steve Covino
Someone will sing the song. Every old person would have said those four, plus Benji. So we ask you who. Who stands the test of time in your mind as far as animals in movies and entertainment? Allah Morris, the alligator, who I didn't know was a real thing or that anyone cared about until he died. But speaking of.
Rich Davis
Well, Adam Sandler, like, put out a sentimental post like it was his pet.
Steve Covino
Oh, yes.
Rich Davis
Oh, we got The Happy Gilmore 2 coming out, and he won't be there.
Danny G.
Rich, we talked about famous animals a couple of years ago on the show. I still remember yours.
Rich Davis
Let's see if you remember. Let's see.
Danny G.
It was that kicking donkey or mule?
Steve Covino
I wrote it down.
Danny G.
Yeah. Was it Gus?
Rich Davis
It was Gus. It was a Disney movie. If you were a kid of the 80s and 90s, do you remember before HBO overtook Sunday nights, they'd have, like, the Disney movie of the week. It was like Flight of the Navigator. There was a rotation of movies.
Steve Covino
I do. Yeah.
Rich Davis
And one of them was. It was a field goal. Kicking Mule and Don Knotts. Mr. Furley was in the movie, by the way.
Steve Covino
That's a great answer. And Danny G. Props to you for remembering that.
Rich Davis
Danny, what a good listening answer. Yeah. I'm going to tell Brenda. You must be a great listener.
Steve Covino
But I know for fact, after speaking to this dude for a long time, his mom was a huge fan of Air Bud.
Rich Davis
That's my mom's answer, not mine.
Steve Covino
Yeah, but you.
Rich Davis
I've never seen them talked about that.
Steve Covino
More than anyone else I've known. Rich talks about Air Bud at least once a week. Still Air Bud. He throws out more Air Bud references than anyone I ever met. So I imagine that has to be one of your answers. I'm gonna throw out one that no one's gonna bring up, but to me, it's amazing. Like this crocodile, this alligator. I should Say there's a difference. This alligator lived 80 plus years, which honestly I don't think is that long for an alligator. They survived dinosaur times. They're prehistoric and I'm pretty sure they live longer than that.
Rich Davis
I recently saw a video of like some old crusty looking shark and they're like this shark was alive and they gave some ridiculous stat.
Iowa Sam
Oh, like are you talking about the Greenland shark?
Rich Davis
Yep. How old I was saying was they.
Iowa Sam
Can be like 400 some years old.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Iowa Sam
They don't start mating until they're like 150.
Steve Covino
It's crazy, right?
Iowa Sam
Fascinating.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Covino
People say the Greenland shark, Megalodon exists still. But I find it amazing always that. Speaking of tortai, would that be the plural? Yeah, tortoises, they live forever oasis style. I think it's so cool that Sylvester Stallone. Absolutely. Rocky Balboa. This is Coffin, Link, Kauf and link from the 1976 Academy Award winning Rocky. His two pet turtles that he got from Adrian, I'm assuming, or that pet shop.
Rich Davis
I mean he was trying to get with Adrian at the pet shop.
Steve Covino
Yo, this is Cough and Link. My turtles. Absolutely right. They're still alive till this day. They're over 40 something years old. He still has them. And they made a cameo again in the 2018 Creed movie. Creed 2, I believe they're in. So they're still movie stars and I still remember them. Yeah. Cuff and Link, man. I think that's pretty crazy that Stallone still has those guys. I think that's awesome.
Rich Davis
You think Stallone, on a side note, you think he watched Nonus being that the great Talia Shire.
Steve Covino
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
Rich Davis
I mean, Adrian, they're. They're the remaining stars of that movie.
Steve Covino
That's insane. So other animals in entertainment and I don't know, you want to give a prize like the best answer, Danny G. Just for fun. Sure, if you make us laugh with one or something. I don't know. We'll let Sam be the judge. 87799 on Fox. Let's go.
Danny G.
That's good timing. Just a heads up for our winners over the past month or so. The Swiggy sh is gonna go out next week.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Danny G.
So if you win today or tomorrow, you are just in time for the big shipment next week.
Steve Covino
Maybe some koozies in there too.
Rich Davis
If you're a kid of the 80s and 90s. I feel like my siblings would say something like babe, the pig. They feel like your younger siblings would say that as well.
Steve Covino
Yeah, it was a big one.
Rich Davis
I'll give you one I guess I'll give you one that's on my list. I don't know why I love this movie. I thought it was hilarious because I think I'm calling it an animal. Could we agree that you're talking about.
Danny G.
Your crush on Miss Piggy?
Rich Davis
She was hot, dude. And she wanted it. Kermit was like. Kermit was reluctant. She was ready at all times.
Steve Covino
She was hot for pig. Yeah, yeah.
Rich Davis
Piggy style. Would you say Harry and the Hendersons is a Bigfoot count or no Harry? No.
Steve Covino
No. Okay.
Rich Davis
All right. Well then how about the Abominable Snowman? How about Beethoven? Did you watch that movie? That big ass Charles Grodin dog with Charles Grodin?
Steve Covino
Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Slobbering all over the place, no doubt. All right, so we go to the phones. Who makes this random animal hall of fame that we just invented? Since you brought up a dog, Rich. I'll get mine out of the way. I'm a huge fan. You know what comes out at the end of this month? Pee Wee Herman as himself. And it's a documentary where he comes out of the closet and he talks about his life. He. He passed away, unfortunately. But the documentary comes out on HBO Max, by the way. It's HBO Max again this summer. May 28th. But in the movie Peewee's Big Adventure, one of my all time favorites, his dog Speck was a superstar.
Rich Davis
Hey, Spec Spec.
Steve Covino
So who comes to mind for you? Let's go.
Rich Davis
Can I give you one more on your mom's Mount Rushmore? Boomers.
Steve Covino
There's only four on the Mount Rushmore. I know.
Rich Davis
I'm going to replace my. Replace one because I'm high. Throw Rin Tin Tin. That's such.
Steve Covino
On your grandpappy's mount. Yeah.
Rich Davis
You want to start with Ohio and say what's up to Josh?
Steve Covino
Yeah. I didn't know Morris the Alligator even got a credit in this movie. I didn't think anyone cared about him. But apparently it's a big story this week.
Rich Davis
What's up, Josh?
Caller
What's up? Happy Thursday to my favorite fellow 80s babies. Real quick. Didn't Alligator die in the movie? Didn't they chop his head off and give it to Chubbs as a gift?
Rich Davis
They did. And remember, he was in the clouds as a dead gator at the end of the movie.
Steve Covino
He really just died this week.
Caller
So my pick is a three headed Rottweiler. Monster Snot from Christmas Vacation, Killer from Half Baked. And Rummel from True Romance Ran from the mere presence of Christopher Walken.
Steve Covino
They killed Killer B. They killed killer B. Yeah, those are good ones. Those are all good ones. Thank you.
Rich Davis
You got me thinking of another one.
Steve Covino
Go ahead.
Rich Davis
If you're going to talk about Half Baked, the horse. Butternuts. Buttercup.
Steve Covino
Oh, yeah. Butternuts the horse.
Rich Davis
Remember Butternuts the horse. Buttercups. Butternuts.
Steve Covino
Butternuts had a heart attack. So who else do we got? 87799 on Fox.
Rich Davis
Texas and Brad. What's up, Brad?
Steve Covino
Hey, Texas.
Caller
What's going on, guys?
Rich Davis
What's up, buddy?
Caller
Hey, you want to throw back? Let's go to the animal that killed the tourism in Cape cod in the 70s.
Steve Covino
Jaws. That might be the king.
Rich Davis
Jaws. Dude. Dude, that was definitely up there. It's gotta be Josh.
Steve Covino
Changed the way we live. That's the true story, too. I mean, everyone had a fear of sharks, but not like the way we have now where we think that we're gonna be eaten by one. Thanks to that movie. That's another classic.
Danny G.
I have one for you. Just as almost just as scary. Snowflake the dolphin. Yeah. Ace Ventura.
Rich Davis
Snowflake. I mean, someone stole Snowflake, right?
Steve Covino
Yeah. Yeah, That's a good one.
Danny G.
Danny G. Investigating the very bottom of the tank.
Steve Covino
A lot of animals in that movie.
Rich Davis
Not go in there. Yeah, I got one stupid one.
Iowa Sam
I was just training for seven years and he puts up a five.
Rich Davis
I. I feel like no one else is gonna say this. I'll say it. I. If you know me, Cavino makes fun of me all the time. One of my favorite shows when I was a little boy, I loved Alfred on the show. Remember, he was always trying to eat Lucky the cat. That was the main storyline. So I'm going to throw Lucky the cat.
Steve Covino
By the way, that was innuendo.
Rich Davis
ALF liked to eat. Oh.
Steve Covino
Oh, yeah. Oh, had to be.
Rich Davis
You just shattered the glass. For a lot of people, you just realized that ALF liked to.
Steve Covino
And you're the dumbest kid ever. I think I might have been.
Rich Davis
Oh.
Steve Covino
Let'S go back to the phones. Every stupid show had a sprocket or some stupid dog or who's the dog? On Brady Bunch, there was always. You remember Spot?
DB
Tiger?
Steve Covino
There was always some dog or some stupid animal involved.
Danny G.
The famous episode where Tiger was hiding all of the family's toys and things inside the dog house.
Steve Covino
Tiger. Good call. DB Abraham, the goldfish on Different Strokes.
Rich Davis
That's a good.
Steve Covino
Arnold Jackson's goldfish. He would talk to it all the time. All right, let's go Back to the phones. 87799 on Fox and again, chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Rich Davis
Let's go to Lancaster and Jerry. Jerry, what's up, man?
Steve Covino
What up?
Rich Davis
What's up, buddy?
Caller
Hey, how you doing? I'm back on iheartradio. Hey, how about a left turn? Clint Eastwood. Orangutan.
Rich Davis
The orangutan with Clint Eastwood. You might as well throw the monkey from friends on the list.
Steve Covino
I'm sorry, do you mean orangutan?
Rich Davis
Yeah, that's true. There's no g. That's true.
Steve Covino
Thank you, buddy.
Rich Davis
You know, I got one that was a, a dog with a monologue. A dog that would comment, but it was like a funny little side thing all the time on married or children. Remember Buck every so often, Buck the dog.
Steve Covino
Dude, that's a really good one.
Rich Davis
Like they all said. And you would show a close up buck and it'd be like this stupid family or something.
Steve Covino
Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
Rich Davis
That's the dog.
Steve Covino
Who else we got?
Rich Davis
David, you're on the show, man. Cavino and Rich. What's up, buddy? Hey, what's up, Dave?
Caller
Yeah, I got two. I got one for your boomer list. You got the old horse trigger.
Rich Davis
You know what, throw it on. Might as well.
Caller
And then my own personal favorite, you got to go with Spider Pig from the Simpsons.
Rich Davis
Well, if you're going to do that, if you go with Spider Pig, do you also have to go with Santa's Little Helper? I was saying, isn't that the like one of the first episodes? Right.
Iowa Sam
It's their dog, Spider Pig, I think. Is, is that like one episode? Yeah, Santa's Little Helper was there. Their pet greyhound, I believe.
Steve Covino
You know, I'm going to switch it up a little bit because growing up rich, I'm an 80s kid. Right. You remember the Cat brand, Nine Lives. Yeah. We're talking about Morris the alligator. What about Morris the cat that was the big star of all those commercials, Right? Morris the cat, nine lives. No, nobody. I'm the only guy.
Rich Davis
I guess so.
Steve Covino
I'm the only guy that remembers Morris the Cat.
DB
I remember. I just didn't think it was good.
Steve Covino
I'm also incorporating, you know, cartoons and commercials here. I'm not going to limit it to major motion pictures.
Rich Davis
I have a question. If you're going to incorporate cartoons, which it seems like we have been doing.
Danny G.
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Do you put Brian, Brian, Brian the dog on Family Guy. I mean, he's part of the family, but he is the pet.
Steve Covino
Charlie the tuna. Hello.
Danny G.
Feel like you guys are extending this segment for an Extra hour if you animal cartoons.
Steve Covino
Okay. Want to stick to major motion pictures since we're talking Morris the alligator or TV shows.
Danny G.
This pet didn't even have his own show. But you knew you were watching or just watched a good show when you would hear, sit, Boo Boo. Sit.
Steve Covino
Good dog. Hell yeah.
Rich Davis
By the way, I think every idiot. Well, maybe just me. Am I the lone idiot? Lone idiot?
Steve Covino
No, there's a whole slew of Internet idiots that agree with you. I already thought it was Boo Boo.
Rich Davis
When I was a kid, I was so sit, Boo Boo. Sit. Good dog.
Steve Covino
Even though it said right there Ubu Productions.
Rich Davis
But I was dumb and I was like nine.
Danny G.
Like people from Southern California. In the 80s and early 90s, it was go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal. And we all thought he was saying pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow. Because he had cows and elephants and animals in all his TV commercials.
Steve Covino
What other animals?
Rich Davis
Sit, Ubu, sit. And I always feel like that was in my mind, Family Ties was definitely one of them good dogs.
Danny G.
Yeah, quite a. A few good series had that at the end of it.
Steve Covino
Any of these animals though, like, I'm not saying we got to step up the references, but I'm talking or we should be thinking.
Rich Davis
Are you asking anyone? An Academy Award now deserve like a.
Steve Covino
Star in the walk of fame. Like, are there any other like really famous ones we're forgetting?
Rich Davis
I mean, probably the. The ones of our parents generation, like a Lassie or something. But what about, I mean, a famous TV dog of the 90s and 80s? If you're a fan of Full House. Comet was a big part of the Tanner household, but you don't care about that one.
Steve Covino
I'm thinking of some one thinking about.
Danny G.
Dog movies that were just about dogs. Gosh, that Belushi. Remember that movie he was in?
Rich Davis
Yeah, that doesn't go with the spot. Did. Didn't Screech have a lizard or something?
DB
Artie.
Rich Davis
Artie the Lizard from Screech.
Steve Covino
I love how Rich pretended to not know. Meanwhile, he's the president of the Screech fan club.
Rich Davis
For Artie, they did have a funeral. Arty the Lizard.
Steve Covino
Yeah, Rich knows. Are you kidding? His favorite episode. They sang Arty Boy to Danny Boy. So dumb.
Rich Davis
Yeah, I totally forgot that.
Steve Covino
So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Who are the most famous animals that come to mind in entertainment based on the loss of this alligator, the loss of Morris, which by the way, we're not even exaggerating. It did get way more coverage than I thought it would ever Get. I didn't know this alligator was still alive, nor did I care.
Rich Davis
Sandler's got Happy Gilmore 2 coming out. He put out a post about Morris the alligator. And it was. It was on like Google News. It wasn't on.
Steve Covino
I loved Alligator Morris. I'm like, who the hell is that? So it was really everywhere. So we're just trying to have fun with that. All right? But we all saw the movie, so we can't act like we don't know what it is.
Rich Davis
Of course we know. Let's say hi to Steven in Mississippi. Hey, Steven. Stefan.
Caller
How you doing, man?
Rich Davis
What's up, buddy?
Caller
I love listening to y' all, man.
Rich Davis
Thank you, man. What's up?
Steve Covino
Thank you.
Caller
All right. So cool. I'm gonna go with it. I'm gonna go with some of the smartest dogs, the Jack Russell. So I'm gonna get a shout out to Eddie from Frazier. And then I heard you all mention Age Ventura, so you gotta mention the mask with Milo the dog. One of the best scenes is when he turns into the. Into the mask. Loki on the mask.
Rich Davis
That's a good one.
Danny G.
That's really good.
Steve Covino
Thank you, man. Yeah, Great call. You know what? I'm gonna bring it back to sports for a minute. It's Fox Sports Radio, old school. When 50 hits Covino and Rich. How about that famous pigeon that got murdered by Randy Johnson? Remember that one?
Rich Davis
Had a great three seconds on screen.
Steve Covino
I mean, it's still part of his logo as a photographer. Very memorable animal.
Iowa Sam
Can I. Can I put one forward here?
Rich Davis
Please do.
Iowa Sam
So this is actually a sort of a celebrity animals. Bart the Bear. Bart the Bear was In Homeward Bound, two 12 Monkeys, legend as a fall.
Steve Covino
The Edge.
Iowa Sam
One of my favorite movies. But if you wanted a grizzly bear, a Kodiak, big Kodiak grizzly bear, you'd.
Steve Covino
That was the one.
Iowa Sam
Bart the Bear.
Steve Covino
So he was the bear actor in all these movies? Yes. Wow. Did not know that.
Iowa Sam
A lot of movies.
Steve Covino
How about the horse that Wade Boggs rode around on in 1996 as he held up a finger because he finally became a champion.
Rich Davis
That's a good one.
Steve Covino
The horse, the police horse at Yankee Stadium that Wade Bogged. That was a famous horse.
Rich Davis
You know what? Let's say hi to Gary in Chicago. What's up, Chi Town?
Caller
What's going on?
Rich Davis
What comes to mind?
Caller
Going off your horse reference. You got the horse from the college movie where they kill the horse in the dean's office.
Iowa Sam
Animal House.
Rich Davis
Animal House. Yeah.
Caller
So you got that. But I was thinking you got Howard the Duck.
Danny G.
He wasn't real.
Steve Covino
Howard the Duck, Yeah. He's famous, though.
Rich Davis
Trying to think of any other dumb ones, you know. I was saying, you brought up Homeward Bound 2. My kids finally watch. My wife sat him down. We watch Homeward Bound as a family. And shadow Chance. Sassy. Like I forget that Michael J. Fox was the main voice of that dog. That was a good movie. Good kids movie.
Iowa Sam
Oh, yeah, Loved it. I had it on vhs.
Rich Davis
And that dog, when that old ass golden retriever comes over the hill at the end, don't spoil it. I can't. I can't tell. It works. I can't tell you that I didn't cry.
Iowa Sam
It's pretty touching. Or when he's trying to fight. Fight his way out of the pit. The mud pit.
Rich Davis
You know, we're forgetting, like the most famous one. I'm going to save it. Maybe someone will throw it out there. Let's say hi to Kent in North Carolina. Hey, Kent. Kent.
Caller
Hey, fellas.
Rich Davis
How are you? What's up, buddy boy?
Caller
Hey. Three generations. My dad, myself and my kids. Hercules, Benny the Jet Rodriguez.
Rich Davis
What a great one. And he ties into sports as well.
Steve Covino
Yeah, that's a great one. The whole story. Just getting the ball back. When you were a kid, you really thought that dog was like a monster or something. And very cool story, very cool movie. And by the way, the Great Hambino made a really funny video this week with. Yeah, yeah. From the movie.
Rich Davis
I have a question for you.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Were you a kid that went to Hollywood Video or Blockbuster and rented this one with your parents, Turner and Hooch?
Steve Covino
I thought of it. No, I don't remember really watching that movie that much, but I know it's a Tom Hanks classic.
Rich Davis
Yeah, no doubt.
Iowa Sam
Slobbered everywhere.
Steve Covino
That was part of it.
Rich Davis
Yeah. Yeah.
Steve Covino
Broke through doors, man. We got a lot of people calling about this.
Rich Davis
Listen, people love their pets. There was a debate on social media yesterday to tie it in that there was a debate of women saying that if they're dog moms, they want to be called moms, too. And all these like, you know, like real moms are like, no, no, no.
Steve Covino
Yeah, that's her dog mom. And I think it started. That was trending yesterday on Mother's Day weekend. It was the first time that International Dog Day, International Dog Mom Day actually fell on Mother's Day on the same day. So there was a lot of controversy of mothers being like, you know, take our day away because you're a doggy mom.
Rich Davis
I'm a dog Mom.
Steve Covino
And it turned into this debate.
Rich Davis
Come on, come on. Don't be silly. Heidi in Florida. What's up, Heidi?
Steve Covino
Hey.
Caller
Yeah. I'm a cat mom.
Steve Covino
No, you're not.
Rich Davis
You own a cat.
Steve Covino
I'm a cat mom.
Caller
And I would like to say.
Danny G.
Wait, Heidi, how many do you have? How many cats do you have?
Steve Covino
One. More than three. You're a psycho. Well, I'm a mom to a cat, so.
Caller
Toonces from snl.
Rich Davis
That's a good one.
Steve Covino
Yeah, yeah.
Iowa Sam
This cat can drive.
Rich Davis
But I do want to say you're not a mom to me.
Steve Covino
Yeah. Why do you want to shoot her down so hard? Why are you, like, so mean about it? She's a cat mom. Leave her alone.
Rich Davis
Maybe it bothers me.
Steve Covino
Yeah, why does it bother you? You're not a mom.
Rich Davis
But you know what women that have children.
Steve Covino
Well, some women can. They, you know, they're moms to their pets. It's not the same.
Rich Davis
Not even.
Steve Covino
But it doesn't mean you got to be mean about it.
Rich Davis
Not even in the same ballpark.
Steve Covino
Well, if you want to take that stance, good.
Rich Davis
It's not a stance to take. It's just fact. Like, I have children I care about.
Steve Covino
I mean, I have children. I'm not going to be mad at somebody if they want to say that.
Iowa Sam
We can all acknowledge it's easier to take care of pets than children.
Steve Covino
Oh, without a doubt. It's not basic.
Rich Davis
We could also acknowledge a pet lasts a few years, and when it's gone, you'd move on and people replace it. If you lose a kid, you want to jump over a bridge, I'd imagine.
Steve Covino
It'S got to be a lot easier if you could replace it with one that looks exactly like your previous one.
Iowa Sam
Coming up next on Over Promised.
Steve Covino
Exactly right.
Rich Davis
I'll give you one that no one mentioned. Maybe the most famous dog in movie history. Let's go back to 1939. Toto. I'll get you my pretty.
Steve Covino
That's a great little dog, too. That's definitely a granny reference, too, though. That's an Aunt M. An Auntie M reference.
Rich Davis
Auntie M. And by the way, I'll.
DB
Get you my pretty.
Steve Covino
Well, Mac is shout out to flying monkeys.
Rich Davis
By the way, I think those are.
Iowa Sam
Just little people in costumes, weren't they?
Rich Davis
Didn't you feel bad that Auntie M.
Steve Covino
Didn'T say that Dorothy wasn't a dog mom?
Rich Davis
You know, Anthony M Was so quick to want to just get rid of Toto.
Steve Covino
Like, wow.
Rich Davis
Like, she was just like, give it to Ms. You know, Ms. Gale of Gulch.
Steve Covino
How about the Cowardly Lion? Anyway, back to the calls.
Rich Davis
Sean and Rockford. Hey, Sean.
Caller
Hey, guys. How you doing?
Rich Davis
We're good, man.
Steve Covino
What's up?
Caller
Well, since the guy stole my sandlot one, my sports one would be Enzo from the Art of Racing in the Rain, voiced by Kevin Costner. I don't know if you guys have seen that, but it's pretty damn good.
Rich Davis
I'll take your word.
Steve Covino
Don't know the reference, but I'm sure Spotty's seen it.
Rich Davis
Spot seen everything.
Steve Covino
He's. Spot's mom was a big Kevin Costner guy.
Rich Davis
That is true.

Rich Davis
Funny. By the way, there's a newer version of the Chipmunks my kids love on Netflix. They look too human for my liking, but Chipmunks are still popular, man.
Steve Covino
Yeah, this one produced by David Seville back in the early 80s. Chipmunk punk might have been like 79 and I had it when I was a kid. It was on my first albums in.
Rich Davis
The new version, Dave Seville is Way too ripped. I'm not even joking.
Steve Covino
Really. What's that about? So, yeah, the chipmunks, man, they're super famous. But we're talking about celebrity animals, the ones that deserve an Animal hall of Fame mention. I guess we only star on the Animal Walk of Fame because Morris the Alligator died from Happy Gilmore. And really excited about the second one, but everybody's acknowledged it. And I'll say it one more time because I find it ridiculous myself. I had no idea that anyone cared about Morris the alligator.
Rich Davis
Well, I mean, it was a big plot line of Happy Gilmore. And I guess I think it's more silly that people like, you know, damn alligator bit my hand off. And it was a, you know, a fun plot point of a fun movie.
Steve Covino
But it did last 80 plus years.
Danny G.
Hey, we are on Fox. Mark tweeted in and he said don't forget Buck for Married With Children.
Rich Davis
Oh, I mentioned that earlier.
Danny G.
You did. That's when I was on the phone.
Steve Covino
Busy taking phone calls. At 87799 on Fox, we're going to do something that we call Crossfire. Like your favorite toy on a throwback Thursday.

You don't want to get caught up in the crossfire.
Rich Davis
Get caught up in the crossfire.
Steve Covino
That's when you're real quick. Give us your answer. In and out so we can move on. All right, we want to get to everybody. 87799 on Fox. Who's your Mr. Ed? Who's your. Who else did we say? Air bud. Okay, give us your celebrity animal. We'll move on real quick. Who we got?
Rich Davis
Let's go to Mike in Vegas. What's up, Mike?
Steve Covino

Rich Davis
Marley makes every human cry. Let's go to Casey and Dan. What's up, Dan?
Caller

Rich Davis
Say it again, Clyde.
Caller

Rich Davis

Steve Covino

Steve Covino
Yeah, there's no Bubbles the monkey Doug in Texas.
Rich Davis
Hey, Doug.
Caller

Rich Davis
Turner and Hooch. Yeah. See, now we're. Now we're repeating. It's time. Crossfire.

Rich Davis
Andy in Mississippi.
Caller

Steve Covino
Dude, I love that answer. I wish I came up with it ferrets. They're the famous ferrets that the Beastmaster had.
Rich Davis
All right, two more. Chuck and Indy. What's up, Chuck?
Caller
Coolest dog ever. Spuds McKenzie.
Rich Davis
He got all the chicks.
Steve Covino
Bud Light on the map.
Rich Davis
You know what? I feel like that was the coolest dog ever.
Danny G.
All the dogs from my neighborhood coming around.
Rich Davis
Matt in Maine. You got the last word. Go ahead, buddy.
Steve Covino
The German shepherd on the Littlest Hobo.
Caller
Back in the 80s.
Steve Covino
Littlest Hobo.
Rich Davis
Who was that?
Steve Covino
I don't know. Yeah. But hey, thanks for calling. Thank you, everybody. The rest of your phone calls and feedback at Covino and Rich and I do want to make it clear. Rich Davis was the guy that says, if you have a dog or a cat, that doesn't make you a dog mom or a cat mom. That was Rich Davis.
Rich Davis
You just want to separate yourself.
Steve Covino
Oh, yeah. I don't want to get all that nasty Graham hate mail that you're gonna get now.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Danny G.
The Littlest Hobo is a Canadian television series from 1963.
Steve Covino
Oh, I thought it was called the.
Rich Davis
Littlest Hobo A. Oh, that's why you were wrong. Yeah, Hobo A. Just to play stat boy like I'm Tony Realy. We missed a few.
Steve Covino
Oh, boy.
Rich Davis
Max from the Grinch.
Steve Covino
Oh, okay.
Rich Davis
The Grinch had his dog. Max Cujo, the scariest dog of our childhood.
Steve Covino
That's a good one. That was scary. That was.
Rich Davis
I mean, one of your favorite movies. Some call the perfect movie. Who time traveled before anyone else.
Iowa Sam
Einstein. I thought of him.
Rich Davis
Einstein, the dog.
Steve Covino
Good one.
Rich Davis
It wasn't alive, but its head got ripped off. Good bird. Pretty bird. Petey the bird from Dumb and Dumber.
Steve Covino
The bird.
Rich Davis
Pretty bird.
Iowa Sam
These are like extras in movies.
Steve Covino
Petey was a famous character until they ripped his head off.
Rich Davis
And if you're a wrestling fan like I was, Matilda, the British bulldog. Damien the snake. And love Coco. Beware. Frankie the bird. Look at that.
Steve Covino

And we go over some boxing, some new fights announced on over promised right after this show on fox Sports Radio's YouTube channel.
Rich Davis
Now, we're also going to go over the best and the worst of the schedule releases in the NFL. I feel like I love this. Cavino hates it. He just feels like, show me the schedule. Who cares? I find the creative social media teams. And I'm not the only one. Because these videos are viewed tens of millions of times.
Steve Covino
I know. I'm surprised by that. I mean, the proof is in the numbers. People love these things.
Rich Davis
I mean, I would say one we didn't mention before that should get a shout out. Remember the viral guy from a couple weeks back, Ashton hall, who would dip a morning routine? Yeah. He would dip his face in ice water, rub banana peels.
Steve Covino
Not just ice water. Saratoga Spring sparkling spring water.
Rich Davis
Well, he's the guy. He does the Jacksonville Jags video where he does his whole routine. And they interspersed the schedule. So every team gets creative. If you hate it and you're like Cavino and you're a stick in the mud, I'm sorry. If you like creative fun. 32 teams, 32 social media directors that are looking for props or getting reprimanded today.
Steve Covino
Yeah. So who are the big winners? We'll go over that on over Promise. But we can still talk about the schedule, Rich, and whatever else we got to get to. All right, cool.
Rich Davis
But let's first go Dan by or get an update in DB what are we missing? What's going on, Bud?
DB
I'm sure you're going to be talking about the Indianapolis Colts and some of the hot water that they are in. Issuing an apology today to not one, but two parties. One to Tyreek Hill, the other to Microsoft one for depicting Hill getting arrested by the Coast Guard in the video. Hill apparently thought it was funny, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus, and the other one to Microsoft, because they used Minecraft without permission.
Steve Covino
Oh, you know what? I was wondering about that. I was assuming that they had to.
Rich Davis
Well, hold on though. You're saying that the Chargers must have got permission because their whole thing was Minecraft. The cults however, did not.
DB
That is correct in the Chargers in the first graphic that you will see on screen says this has been authorized to use by Microsoft and everything with it. But the cults did not, so they had to take their video down.
Steve Covino
Wow. So big loo hoo zehers.
DB
NFL owners, by the way, are going to vote next week on whether to allow their players to compete in flag football in the 2028 Summer Olympics. First round of the PGA Championship is winding down. Ryan Gerard and Cam Davis share the first round lead at five under par. Aaron Rye has a putt on his final hole to get to five under if he makes it. Some other notables to talk about. World number one Scotty Scheffler two under par round to 69 today. He's three shots back of the lead. Rory McElroy three over par after of 74. As for Jordan Spieth, he's trying to complete his own career grand slam. Four over par through 17 holes. Bryson DeChambeau even par through 15. Ludwig Oberg one under par. He is through 17 holes and playing his final round of the day. Thunder a Nuggets tonight. Game six eight thirty Eastern time. Thunder up three two in the series. Braves top the Nationals today five two in day baseball, Twins and Orioles. This one went to Minnesota again four nothing. Twins have won eleven straight. Orioles have lost nine of eleven. Reds beat the White Sox seven one raised down the Jays eight three. And on the ice, Hurricanes and Capital seven Eastern Stars at the jets nine thirty Eastern. Both of those game fives guys.
Steve Covino
Back to you about the Thunder and Nuggets for sure.
Rich Davis
That's a big one. Danny. You shocked that OKC is like a six point favorite tonight or you think most the sentiment is they'll they'll close it out tonight?
DB
I I'm surprised it's that high. I'm not a believer in the Nuggets, but I'm surprised that it's that high.
Rich Davis
Yeah, I thought it might be like two and a half or three like a closer but six is a little hefty.
Steve Covino
Hey DB, who's shooting a 69? By the way, you mentioned that that.
DB
Would be Scotty Scheffler.
Steve Covino
Yeah, that number always stands out for some weird reason. But I do have a question based on that. Rich does, in fact.
Rich Davis
Yeah. So one of my friends, my buddy Nicole, who I do a. I say parenting podcast, but it's pretty smutty. We do a podcast where we talk about family and kids and all that.
Steve Covino
Like a porncast.
Rich Davis
Stop it. But she posed the question. On her kids Little league team, her little son Keegan plays T ball. The kids, I think he's like, eight. He plays, like, maybe like, one step above T ball. One of the boys requested jersey number 69, and they gave it to him. Is that inappropriate or not?
Steve Covino
Again, we're talking kids.
Rich Davis
It's just the number, but, I mean, we all get the sexual reference.
Steve Covino
I think it's totally inappropriate.
Rich Davis
Like, if you're a coach and you're running a little League or a pony ball, would you let a kid of that age be like, yeah, number 69? This is not like, I want to be Wild thing Rick VAUGHN and I'm 99. Like, that's. To me, there's no other reference other than a little perv.
DB
I'm completely with Covino and you on this. Yeah, I think it's completely inappropriate.
Iowa Sam
What if the big Brian Adams fan, though? Summer of 69.
DB
Guess what that song's about?
Steve Covino
Ronnie Munn's. Is this Ronnie Munn's son?
Rich Davis
69.
Steve Covino
69.
Rich Davis
I don't know.
Steve Covino
I think you're a little Weisenheimer and you should be shut down if that's your request.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Covino
Some adult should have been like, nah. The parents I blame, like, no, little Bobby McMillan. 69. Pick another number.
Rich Davis
All right, well, hey, your thoughts, and we'll. We'll do a little NFL sched next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Steve Covino
69.
Rich Davis
Should not be a kid's uniform number in Little League. Just saying.
Steve Covino
That was Kelly Leak's Little league number. I think he was a badass. Again, we're Covino and Rich, and it's time for the Express Pros Pro of the Week.
Danny G.
That's my belly.
Steve Covino
And it's kind of an easy one when you really think about it. Talking about the guy that knocked out Steph Curry in the Golden State warriors, the Express Pros Pro of the Week is obviously Anthony Edwards, everybody.
Danny G.
Check out this crazy stat. Edwards now holds the record for the most playoff wins in T Wolves history. Since he joined the team five seasons now, Minnesota has won 18 playoff games, exactly as many as they had in the rest of franchise history.
Steve Covino
31 seasons and again, thank you. Congrats to Anthony Edwards. Ready for a new job? Let Express employment professionals help. While Express helps people in all industries find work, our sweet spot is logistics roles. And Express never charges job seekers a fee. Go to express pros.com Congrats again to Michael Jordan's son, Anthony Edwards.
Rich Davis
Express Pros Pro of the week this weekend. You know, we're going to be in for Dan Patrick tomorrow. So enjoy. I believe Dan Byerfield in it tomorrow. I'm imagining.
Steve Covino
Oh, yeah. Let's make this clear. Clear. We got Bri hanging out with us. Hopefully you at home, you in the car hanging out with us on your way to work, Iowa. Sam. But we're also giving away prizes because we're going to do. Is it Cavino or Belichick tomorrow on Dan Patrick's show tomorrow. So join us in the morning in for dp. Any other final thoughts on, like the inappropriateness of your.
Rich Davis
The Little League.
Steve Covino
The Little League kid.
Rich Davis
I just think, you know, parents.
Steve Covino
By the way, if I was another parent too, I'd be not offended or concerned. But you have to imagine kids are gonna be like, number 69. What does that mean? Now you got little, little Jimmy here telling everybody his little dirty stories.
Rich Davis
Little Jackson and Easton are giggling like I'm Jersey 69. Like parents, use your head. Say no. You're number 12 again.
Steve Covino
If you just joined us, one of Rich's friends kids picked number 69.
Rich Davis
No, the kid on their team did.
Steve Covino
I know. Just trying to make it easy for people to understand. Doesn't really matter. One of the little nose pickers picked number 69 as their little League jersey and they gave it to him.
Rich Davis
Yeah. No, it's not how it should be.
Steve Covino
Inappropriate.
Rich Davis
Nope.
Steve Covino
Inappropriate. I don't care if the kids don't understand. All the adults understand. Why is this kid wearing 69 out of here?
Rich Davis
Well, I'm sure we're going to touch on it a little bit tomorrow when we fill in for Dan Patrick. But we get ready for a Subway Series.
Steve Covino
Oh, yeah.
Rich Davis
You may not care, but Kavino and I, I'm a Mets fan, he's a Yankees fan. So. So it's not so much about those teams. I gotta ask.
Steve Covino
It's Soto's return. I think that's the big story here.
Rich Davis
Is there pressure on a guy like that or is he so above that?
Steve Covino
I think there's also awkwardness involved with Aaron Judge. Here's a guy that had a special handshake with Juan Soto, kissed his ass all year and now he's got to compete against him after he was stabbed in the back by the guy.
Rich Davis
Stabbed? Yeah, it's called free agency.
Steve Covino
Get out of my face once. So stabbed in the back.
Rich Davis
You make it sound like.
Steve Covino
I hope he strikes out every at bat. I hope he's booed so loud that it breaks decibel records.
Rich Davis
It's a Yankee Stadium, right?
Steve Covino
Yes, in the Bronx.
Rich Davis
You want to bet a coffee that Soto hits a home run over the weekend?
Steve Covino
Sure. For a coffee. I'll do that.
Rich Davis
Coffee.
Steve Covino
Coffee. And by the way, coffee my it's.
Rich Davis
A New York subway series, so you got to go. Coffee.
Steve Covino
My mom and dad hit us up with another family old person reference as far as animals. Yeah, my mom hit me up Petey.
Rich Davis
From Little Rascal Cheese. Of course she did.
Steve Covino
Petey. Petey's not as cool as Spuds Mackenzie. Mom. He got all the chicks.
Rich Davis
Danny J. Soto going to Soto going to go yard at Yankee Stadium this weekend. Or is. Or the Yankees going to shut him down.
Danny G.
I think the Yankees will shut him down.
Steve Covino
I hope so, man. He deserves it.
Rich Davis
So.
Danny G.
Probably be trying a little too hard. Rich.
Steve Covino
I think that's fair. I think that's fun for everybody. I really do.
Rich Davis
Yeah, it'll be a fun again. I'm sure some of those games won't be on the local networks. Got a one of them has to be televised on like Fox or ESPN or somewhere.
Steve Covino
I mean, I hope so. I'm watching regardless. But speaking of watching, please, Fox Sports Radio Nation everybody watch our bonus pod. It goes live in six minutes. You could watch us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube channel.
Rich Davis
You could interact.
Steve Covino
And we're going to talk about the NFL schedules who won with all the creative videos. The battle of cringy athletes. And we're going to talk about boxing some fights on over promised episode 92. We do it next.
Rich Davis
Perfect. We'll see you guys tomorrow. In for Dan Patrick. Areva Dare you baby.
Steve Covino
See you in the over promised land. Let us you're listening to an iHeart podcast.
