You know, a nice water bottle for your kid to leave at school, you know, so that your kid could take it and Lose it.

[Alec Baldwin]

Could I tell you at the morning assembly at my kid's school today? They said, on your way out, parents, take a look at the lost and found. There must have been 800 water bottles. There must have been 100 water bottles and little 25 hoodies. Yeah. Do these kids your kids so willy nilly just leave their crap everywhere?

[Martin Luther King III]

Wild. It's like, like, like a thrift shop with all the lost and found stuff.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah.

[Alec Baldwin]

Go load up.

[Martin Luther King III]

Ridiculous. But if you want to win the coveted CNR Swiggy, it's a really nice one, too. Again, B. Dialing at 87799 on Fox. We're going to play. Quote me. It's our new Friday game. The NE G gives us some quotes. We just guess who said it.

[Alec Baldwin]

Choice.

[Martin Luther King III]

It's easy. Your chance to win now. So while we get the phones going, Rich, I want to give you some fight rumors, right? We talked baseball, we talked little football. You know, I'm a big fight fan. There's some good fights this weekend I'll tell you about in weekend hobnobbing. There's a few rumors. I want to throw them out there. Can you just tell me which one excites you the most?

[Alec Baldwin]

By the way, did you tell Danny G. To send your mom a new Swiggy? Danny, did you hear the story of Covino's mom and the Swiggy?

[Mel Reid]

No.

[Alec Baldwin]

Someone heard that her last name was Covino right in the neighborhood in Jersey. And it's like, wait a minute. You're Steve Covino's mother? I'm a huge fan.

[Martin Luther King III]

My mom was, like, being weird and, like, sitting on the front porch, like, taking in the sun or something. And a guy was like, are you Steve Covino's mom?

[Alec Baldwin]

She went in the house and she's like, the least I could do is give you his Swiggy.

[Martin Luther King III]

Swear to God. She gave away her Swiggy.

[Mel Reid]

Wow.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, she's always promoting, too, so.

[Alec Baldwin]

Cool. Weird guy in Union, New Jersey, Shout out to you.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah, Cove. I'll add your mom onto the next mailing list.

[Martin Luther King III]

Nice, Nice. I appreciate it, but they're real nice. Want to play. And you want to win. 87799 on Fox. Now here are the rumors as of today. As you know, last weekend, it was the weekend before. Recently bivel beat better bf, right? 175 undisputed now. Okay, according to today rumors. Because you never know with this stuff, right? WBC is ordering Bivel to fight the Mexican monster Benavidez. So that's one rumor. Okay, that Seems to be legit. But again, you never know with this stuffel Benavidez.

[Alec Baldwin]

Now for people that don't know, I hear Bivel, I hear Bevel, but he's the guy that, if I'm right, didn't he beat Canelo Alvarez?

[Martin Luther King III]

He did at 175. So he. Bivel's the guy. He's got all the belts. And now they're saying WBC is saying you got to fight David Benavidez.

[Alec Baldwin]

Okay, so Bivel Benavidez.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah.

[Alec Baldwin]

Bell, Bivel Del Bivo. Yeah. Bell, Bivel, Del Bivo.

[Martin Luther King III]

Bell Biv. Better bf.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah, that's a mouthful. Play the rim shot on yourself.

[Alec Baldwin]

Thank you.

[Martin Luther King III]

Now this is also legit, again, according to you never know in the world of boxing. There is going to be an unbelievable card in the works. May 2, Times Square reported by Ring Magazine. It's like all the big stars, stars of the junior welterweight division. The 140 pounders are fighting on one card.

[Mel Reid]

Dude.

[Martin Luther King III]

So you got Ryan Garcia, who's back.

[Alec Baldwin]

I was gonna say he was suspended, right.

[Martin Luther King III]

Versus Rollie Romero. So two trash talkers with a lot of pop.

[Alec Baldwin]

Garcia shouldn't beat him, but Rollie's good though.

[Martin Luther King III]

Well, Tank Davis said that Rollie was the hardest he ever has been hit.

[Alec Baldwin]

Okay, okay. Garcia, Rollie, I love it.

[Martin Luther King III]

He just has a glass chin. This is all the same card, mind you. Okay, so Garcia, Romero, Devin Haney versus Jose Ramirez, a former champion. Vato Loco forever. Jose was on our ESPN show. Real Nice, dude. Tiafimo Lopez and Barboza all on the same car, dude. Tia, females are.

[Alec Baldwin]

Those are. Those are three. I wouldn't say top, top tier fights, but those are three top tiers. Same card. Yes. And then if you're a boxing fan, and I know because Kavino, I always hear him talk about it. Tfimo, Barbosa, Ramirez, Rollie Garcia, these are all big names in that division.

[Martin Luther King III]

Again, May 2, New York City, all on the same card. And then this week, I don't know if you missed it, but Floyd Money Mayweather was on Jimmy Fallon and he was asked like, what about Jake Paul? And he's like, easy work. He's like, easy work. Kidding me? At 48, I'll whoop his ass. That's easy work. I'll beat his ass. Jake Paul is now like, I'll knock him out.

[Alec Baldwin]

Are you kidding me?

[Martin Luther King III]

Look how much bigger I am. Thank you. Weather I'm like twice his size. And now this is building up slowly but surely. It's a spectacle. It's stupid. But it's, it's, it's building, I'll say that. So of all those awesome fights in a stupid spectacle that's being hyped, which one excites you the most?

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, my answer is going to make you want to throw up in your.

[Martin Luther King III]

Mouth Or Jake Paul?

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, listen, because Mayweather, he's 48, just turned 48, undefeated, that's 10 years younger than Tyson who couldn't get the job.

[Martin Luther King III]

Also a lot smaller.

[Alec Baldwin]

He's a lot smaller.

[Martin Luther King III]

A lot smaller.

[Alec Baldwin]

But he's had some pretty decent looking exhibitions here and there.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah, he's in good shape.

[Alec Baldwin]

Mayweather way smaller versus Jake Paul. That to me, the intrigue. Right, because of the big size difference. Jake Paul significantly bigger.

[Martin Luther King III]

The ultimate skill and defense of A. And again, remember, Mayweather fought Logan Paul, so it's not out of the question.

[Alec Baldwin]

It's Paul versus Small.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah.

[Alec Baldwin]

Let me tell you, Mayweather, I would say this, I don't think he could hurt Jake Paul.

[Martin Luther King III]

Well, again, those are the rumors. Some of them are legit, some are, you know, you just never know. Things fall through all the time. But as a fight fan, those excite me.

[Alec Baldwin]

Maybe Jake Paul, maybe Floyd Mayweather outboxes him and just makes him look like, all right, you're just not there. Because Mayweather's got that defense and the skill. Maybe he'll outland punches. But the only part of that fight that seems boring to me is like a lot of Mayweather fights. I don't think Mayweather packs a punch that could hurt a guy as big as Jake Paul. Jake Paul, I would say Jake Paul's big. He's, he's, he's our side. He's a six foot guy. Mayweather's a small dude.

[Martin Luther King III]

All right, well, your thoughts at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And there's some great fights this weekend that I'll tell you about and weekend hobnobbing.

[Alec Baldwin]

But now I'll watch all of them. Yeah, but I think most would just casually watch Mayweather. Jake Paul, I hate to say it.

[Martin Luther King III]

But people want the spectacle. But there's some good stuff in the works. So now it's time to play the game.

[Mel Reid]

Sports, media and athletes are quoted a lot.

[Martin Luther King III]

Stars attract other stars.

[Mel Reid]

Here comes the hot take.

[Alec Baldwin]

Quote, Andy Weed should step down as head coach. This is not a one game reaction because they lost in this game.

[Mel Reid]

You guess the talking head.

[Alec Baldwin]

You can quote me on that.

[Mel Reid]

Quote me.

[Alec Baldwin]

Ooh.

[Mel Reid]

Yay. Welcome in to a Friday quote me on cnr.

[Martin Luther King III]

What up, Danny G?

[Mel Reid]

In this Game. Covino, you gotta tell me who in the sports world. See?

[Martin Luther King III]

All right.

[Mel Reid]

Simple as that. All right, we're gonna meet the contestants. The Howard Stern Fartman character creator, Steve Covino, right over there.

[Jorge]

Is that true?

[Martin Luther King III]

Hey, creative Fartman.

[Mel Reid]

Yes. You know Covino used to work at kroc, right?

[Martin Luther King III]

Wasn't he also the stand in for the Buttcheeks?

[Alec Baldwin]

He was, yeah.

[Mel Reid]

To the right of him, current 49er wine sommelier, rich Davis.

[Alec Baldwin]

That is me.

[Mel Reid]

He wore the testudo bird costume for four years. Spotty boy.

[Martin Luther King III]

That is true. How did you know that?

[Mel Reid]

In for Dan Byers, the man who was once mistaken for Arnold Schwarzenegger at a Chargers. Isaac Lohan. Kron.

[Martin Luther King III]

Chargers.

[Mel Reid]

Chargers. And looking to win a CNR stainless steel Swiggy on the studio lines. All right, Ilo. I'll use you for this. Would you love.

[Jorge]

That was me.

[Martin Luther King III]

Get to the Chargers.

[Mel Reid]

Now to travel to beautiful Paradise, California.

[Jorge]

Get that housekeeper away from me.

[Alec Baldwin]

Sorry.

[Mel Reid]

Whoa.

[Martin Luther King III]

Run.

[Mel Reid]

Erie, Pennsylvania. Corvallis, Oregon. Sacramento, California. Fort Lauderdale, Florida, or Phoenix. Az.

[Jorge]

All these are tough.

[Martin Luther King III]

You say Az.

[Jorge]

Lauderdale's great Brazilian steakhouse. They're called Chima.

[Steph Curry]

You know what?

[Jorge]

I'm gonna go Lauderdale.

[Mel Reid]

You can go. All right. That's Jorge.

[Alec Baldwin]

Jorge.

[Mel Reid]

Jorge.

[Alec Baldwin]

What's up, man?

[Mel Reid]

How are you? Happy Friday. What you do for a living there in Fort Lauderdale. Happy Friday, guys. I'm a technician for AT&T.

[Martin Luther King III]

Nice, man, nice.

[Mel Reid]

Okay, really quick. Since it's the first time a lot of you are playing this game, I'll give you a sample question here. All right, here's the quote. Quote me. Who, me? For all I know, I would have been in the pros. I would have been David Wright instead of David Wright. I remember if I'd go oppo instead of being like, oh, I went with the outside pitch. Oh, you're not getting around on the ball. Whose quote is that? A, kfc, B, Rich Davis, or C, Jason Smith? Spot. Spot.

[Martin Luther King III]

Rich Davis.

[Mel Reid]

Yes.

[Alec Baldwin]

See, I did say that.

[Martin Luther King III]

You said that.

[Alec Baldwin]

Did you actually.

[Mel Reid]

Wait, did he actually say this?

[Jorge]

Again, I want to use the word oppo.

[Mel Reid]

I thought this was a joke.

[Alec Baldwin]

Joke.

[Mel Reid]

You actually said this. Rich said this. This is how it sounded on. On the CNR show.

[Alec Baldwin]

For all I know, I would have been in the pros. I would have been David Wright instead of David Wright. I remember if I would go oppo instead of being like, oh, I went with that outside pitch. Oh, you're not getting around on the ball.

[Martin Luther King III]

That's David.

[Mel Reid]

Wrong, bro.

[Alec Baldwin]

My, my. My coaches growing up used to tell me if you don't get around on the ball like, that's not good.

[Martin Luther King III]

I'm definitely not putting five on, man. You know, when, when quoted and on paper, it makes me want to punch you in the nose.

[Alec Baldwin]

I could have been David, right, bro.

[Martin Luther King III]

You could have, but he had too.

[Jorge]

Much big league chew.

[Mel Reid]

There it is. All right, here we go. This is for real. Round one. Here comes the quote, guys.

[Alec Baldwin]

Your name is your buzzer, right, Danny?

[Mel Reid]

Yes, it is a doggy bag. As in, Aaron Rodgers is ready to dine on leftovers. He is perfectly fine and realizes his place in the cosmos. If the Rams send Matthew Stafford to Jersey and the Giants, Rogers will slide on into the penthouse apartment in the RAM facility. Quote me. Who me? A, Dan Patrick, B Ben Maller or C Doug Gottlieb. Oh, oh.

[Martin Luther King III]

A, B, Covino.

[Mel Reid]

Covino.

[Martin Luther King III]

Ben Maller.

[Mel Reid]

It was Ben Maller. Boom.

[Alec Baldwin]

You know why?

[Martin Luther King III]

Because I listen to a lot of Ben Maller and he just cuts everybody up. Dude, I thought that was gonna be Stephen. A. Yeah. No, if you gave me a Ron Parker the dog, I could see doggy bag. I could have saw that. But it had to be Ben Mallon.

[Mel Reid]

This is what it sounded like.

[Alec Baldwin]

It is a doggy back. As in, Aaron Rodgers is ready to dine on leftovers. He is perfectly fine and realizes his place in the cosmos. If the Rams send Matthew Stafford to Jersey and the Giants, Rodgers will slide on in to the penthouse apartment in the RAM facility. And you know what? That storyline is now dead because we found out today Stafford staying with the Rams so quickly. Who will go to Jersey?

[Mel Reid]

Covino is on the board as we move to round two. Here is the quote. They know who Luka is. They've watched him for seven years. It ain't like that. This is a knee jerk reaction. And they just knew him from the weekend and made a snap decision on who he is. Quote me. A, Rob Parker, B, Nick Wright or C, Mike Harmonies. Oh.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'll give you a chance, Jorge. You know, no instincts here or what? We're trying to get you, man.

[Mel Reid]

B, B, you're gonna go Nick Wright.

[Jorge]

No, Isaac.

[Mel Reid]

Isaac for the steal.

[Jorge]

C, Mike Harmon.

[Mel Reid]

No.

[Martin Luther King III]

You're all losers. Rob Parker.

[Mel Reid]

That was Rob Parker. This is what it sounded like.

[Alec Baldwin]

They know who Luka is. They've watched him for seven years. It ain't like that. This is a knee jerk reaction. And they just knew him from the weekend and made a snap decision on who he is.

[Martin Luther King III]

These doodle diapers.

[Jorge]

I'd like to register a complaint. You did not read that quote with the Rob Parker inflection point.

[Martin Luther King III]

Rob Parker. Do you see the story how Jeanie Buss also was very pumped to get Luka because it was Gigi's favorite player's favorite player, and it meant a lot to Kobe. And she know he's. She knows he's happy up there that Luka's part of the team. I thought that was kind of cool.

[Mel Reid]

Covino, you're the only one on the board so far as we go to round three. Here's the quote. I'm gonna keep it a big buck as I only know how to do. Steve Smith did you a favor, bro. He identified who you was actually married to. She ain't loyal to you. She don't belong to you. If I'm Steve Smith, I would have added something else. I did what I was supposed to do. She threw it, I caught it. I'm a receiver. Quote me. Who? Me. Who said it? A, Paul Pierce, B, Cam Newton. Or C. Stephen A. Smith. Oh, Covino Cove for the win.

[Martin Luther King III]

Stephen A. Smith. C. No, Rich. Rich, Rich, Rich.

[Alec Baldwin]

For the steel, Cam Newton, B.

[Mel Reid]

Yes, sir.

[Martin Luther King III]

By the way, that story is juicy, dude.

[Alec Baldwin]

Juicy.

[Mel Reid]

Honestly, this is the way it sounded.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'm gonna keep it a big buck as I only know how to do. Steve Smith did you a favor, bro.

[Mel Reid]

He identified who you actually was married to.

[Alec Baldwin]

She ain't loyal to you. You.

[Martin Luther King III]

She don't belong to you. If I'm Steve Smith, I would have added something else.

[Alec Baldwin]

I did what I was supposed to do.

[Martin Luther King III]

If you don't know the Steve Smith story, look it up. It's a. It's a weird one.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah. All right, here we go. Round four. Both C and R on the board. Here's the quote, guys. He really don't have anything else left to prove. And if people say he does, they're Jordan fans. He's in here before the game, always putting in work. He never stops, which is very impressive because sometimes I just want to lay down and take a nap. Quote me. Who? Me? Was that A, J.J. redick, B, Dalton Connect. Or C, Austin Reaves? Austin Reeves. Oh, oh, Jorge. You gotta say your name. See?

[Alec Baldwin]

Austin Reeves.

[Martin Luther King III]

Jorge.

[Mel Reid]

Yes. Jorge jumps on the board.

[Martin Luther King III]

That was a big quote this week. Yeah.

[Mel Reid]

For a three way tie. Covino, Rich, Jorge and Fort Lauderdale all on the board, guys. That means we go to overtime. Here's the quote for overtime. I think the fans here tonight, even the Magic fans, they know they're witnessing the greatest shooter ever and one of the greatest performers ever. It's not just the Shots going in. It's the fluidity and the beauty of his motion and the audacity, the shots he's willing to take. Quote me. Who? Me? Was that A, Steve Kerr, B, Jimmy Butler or C, Buddy Heald?

[Alec Baldwin]

Rich.

[Mel Reid]

Oh, Rich got in there first.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'll give a chance. I don't think it's Jimmy Butler. I'll let him guess.

[Mel Reid]

That is not Jimmy Butler.

[Alec Baldwin]

That is Buddy Heald.

[Mel Reid]

No, you.

[Martin Luther King III]

I love it when he's confident and wrong.

[Alec Baldwin]

I love it.

[Mel Reid]

You were so confident. All right, one more overtime question here to try to get a winner.

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, my goodness.

[Mel Reid]

Here's the quote. Yeah. Good game. I want teams to believe I can go out there and win games. If a team wants a winner, a franchise leader, they know who to call. Quote me. Who? Me. Was that A, Shador Sanders, B, Dylan Gabriel or C, Jackson? Dart.

[Martin Luther King III]

George Shadore Saunders.

[Mel Reid]

No. Somebody for the win. Covino for the win.

[Martin Luther King III]

Dart.

[Mel Reid]

No.

[Alec Baldwin]

Come on.

[Martin Luther King III]

Spot B. Oh, bro.

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, man. I have a way to solve it. Ready?

[Mel Reid]

Yeah.

[Alec Baldwin]

Here we go. Quote this. You guys are all idiots. A, Danny G. How am I the idiot?

[Mel Reid]

You guys didn't get the answers right?

[Alec Baldwin]

No. Jukes me, Jorge.

[Martin Luther King III]

Wow.

[Mel Reid]

Oh, I got you.

[Martin Luther King III]

That's a good one.

[Mel Reid]

You're the host. All right. Yeah. So nobody wins this week.

[Martin Luther King III]

Draw means Jorge wins.

[Mel Reid]

I think you're right. And we always have that. That rule Dan Byer put in. If somebody puts a good game on the board, we mail them a swiggy.

[Alec Baldwin]

If you bring the enthusiasm like Jorge, we got you, bro.

[Martin Luther King III]

We. Hey, you got a swiggy, man. You held out when we went to distance. You win.

[Mel Reid]

Yes. Stay on the line, brother.

[Martin Luther King III]

Thank you, man. That was a good. That was a good one. Danny G. Some of them I knew. Jorge got the best of me on that. On that Reeves one. I knew that quote. Those were good ones, man. Thank you.

[Alec Baldwin]

I feel like the clue for a Rob Parker one is if it's preposterous, right? But I got to hear the voice because I love Rob's voice. Oh, man. That was a good game, Danny.

[Martin Luther King III]

Good stuff, Parker.

[Alec Baldwin]

All right. Hey, we got more Covino Rich coming up. We're going to talk a little more. NFL, where does it now? Now that Matthew Stafford is a Ram, what does that mean? Next for the remaining quarterbacks in the NFL, we'll speculate a little bit. Have some fun with that. And weekend Hobnobbin. I got two shows that we have not talked about yet that are must watches outside the world of sports.

[Martin Luther King III]

Plus, you didn't finish talking your smack about the big vanilla sports poppy.

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, yeah, you know what?

[Martin Luther King III]

You forgot your own question, you bozo.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'm going to repost it at Covino and Rich. And if you go on Instagram, I want you to tell me, do you think our pal here at Fox Sports radio, the big is he the big vanilla liar?

[Martin Luther King III]

The big vanilla BJ Vernon Husky, did.

[Alec Baldwin]

He make this shot in crypto on his first try or do you think he did this 20 times?

[Martin Luther King III]

He was covering a Lakers game.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah.

[Martin Luther King III]

And he's on the court and he's there like, look at me, I'm a big shot and I'm gonna prove it. And he took a big shot and it depicts that he made it on his first attempt from like, you know, three point range.

[Alec Baldwin]

Do you, do you think and we're like that, that.

[Martin Luther King III]

Do you really think he got it first shot?

[Alec Baldwin]

You know, I'll show him a little love on our Instagram at kobeno. Rich, you can vote. Was it his first shot or not? Maybe more.

[Mel Reid]

I don't know.

[Alec Baldwin]

CNR next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Martin Luther King III]

[Steph Curry]

Make some noise. For the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from all star week weekend for a new podcast called goat greatest of their era and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.

[Peja Stojaković]

Peja 5 Dirk Ford.

[Martin Luther King III]

Peja is a link.

[Steph Curry]

Okay, okay.

[Alec Baldwin]

I mad him.

[Martin Luther King III]

I left him off my list, but I still like my list.

[Steph Curry]

You won't believe who Steph left off his list.

[Peja Stojaković]

That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.

[Steph Curry]

Yes, absolutely.

[Peja Stojaković]

Love it.

[Steph Curry]

Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters.

[Peja Stojaković]

When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you, there's a fear factor that's associated with it. Anytime you're wide open like, you might as well just count that and get back on defense.

[Mark Seal]

We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting.

[Mel Reid]

That's nonsense.

[Mark Seal]

There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened.

[Martin Luther King III]

And they said, we're finished.

[Mel Reid]

This is over.

[Martin Luther King III]

[Martin Luther King III]

Everybody thinking of Farley and Swayze or no.

[Alec Baldwin]

I mean, how do you not, right? Today's Friday.

[Martin Luther King III]

Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio live from the Tyrack.com studio. So super pumped about the weekend and we're gonna get you pumped about the weekend with weekend Hobnobbing and make the rest of this month count. Have a great Friday night. Get involved. Enjoy your Friday. Enjoy some paradise. I might be watching Paradise, Rich. I don't know. We'll see you in Weekend Hobnob.

[Alec Baldwin]

Well, I'll. I'm gonna do one last ditch effort to get you to watch a couple fun shows.

[Martin Luther King III]

Now before we get into your big vanilla sports poppy question and weekend hobnobbing, I heard Colin talking about stars and stars stars. And he went on this long LeBron rant about how he's probably the second best player in the league, Jokic being number one, I guess. But you got Giannis, KD, Curry, all these big names. LeBron playing like he's 27 years old, defense shooting revitalized like he found the fountain of youth. But the gist of Collins theory was, is LeBron just showing off, reminding everybody that you have to get through him on the west now that Luka's there, is he reminding everybody that, yo, I'm still the guy? Did Luca force his hand to Find the fountain of youth. Meaning you see how Curry sort of lighting up now that Butler's there. And he also ties into the super bowl when Brady was looked at like the old guy and Mahomes was the fresh new face. And Brady wanted to remind everybody real quick, like, nah, I'm still Tom Brady. Tom Brady. I'm still the guy. It's a great way to light somebody's fire, to bring some young blood in there and to wake up that old dog is Luca, in a competitive way, in a healthy way, lighting LeBron's fire, reminding LeBron like, Yo, you gotta be the guy. You're still the guy. I think that's a great sort of way to look at things. And I think you see that at the workplace. I really do. You know, when young blood is in there, it keeps everyone else on their toes. It really does. So I buy into that because you do see LeBron playing like, whoa, how old is this guy? How is he doing this? Don't you believe Danny G, that it's not that Luka's exciting him. He's also like, yo, I'm still the best. And it's like a healthy, competitive back and forth.

[Mel Reid]

I think another great thing about the acquisition for the Lakers is LeBron would go to the bench, the B squad would be in and get behind in the game. LeBron would always have to come back onto the court when the Lakers would suddenly be trailing. Now there's the option of having another superstar on the court while he's taken a few minutes to catch his breath. When he gets back onto the court, the team still has a 10 point lead.

[Martin Luther King III]

So he physically is getting this advantage. But, you know, people are saying, dude, he seems like he has more energy than Luka. At 47, Luka's 26.

[Alec Baldwin]

Let me give you a silly analogy, but you see it all the time. When someone has an aging pet, a lot of times when they get a puppy, it brings that aging lazy dog, all of a sudden starts playing again. Like, there's that sense. We've seen it with, you know, your family, your friends, where it's like, yeah, old, you know, Buttons, the golden retriever has been lazy and sitting around forever. You get a little puppy, that old dog starts playing fetch again for some reason. So.

[Martin Luther King III]

And we're seeing that with Steph and Butler. We're seeing that. We saw that with Brady versus Mahomes. He's like, no, no, no. It revitalized him. And we're seeing it in one of the grandest ways possible with Lebron for multiple reasons. It's just that fire inside and he's actually getting more rest as a result. But it's kind of wild to see. And I think your analogy, Rich, I think is so true here. It inspires a lot of people, reminds other people that they got to step their game up too. No one wants to feel like the.

[Alec Baldwin]

Old lazy guy at the workplace. You bring in some young man or woman with new, fresh ideas and they're young, the old people. Sometimes out of insecurity, you're like, oh, crap, I better step it up.

[Martin Luther King III]

Exactly.

[Alec Baldwin]

And honestly, it's true with pets. You get. You get an old, you know, lazy hound sitting around and you get some little yappy little puppy. Brings a little life to the old timer.

[Martin Luther King III]

So do you think Colin was saying he's the second best player in the league? Do we agree on that right now? Maybe right now LeBron is lighting it up, but then again, so are the Golden State warriors, man, since Butler's been on the team. So there you go, the LeBron Fountain of Youth theory makes a lot of sense when you think about the old dog.

[Alec Baldwin]

And by the way, today, do they take Luca out for a little birthday cocktail or dessert after the game? Happy birthday, Luca. He's 26 today.

[Martin Luther King III]

26.

[Alec Baldwin]

So happy birthday. Your young buck just showing. Guy's got 50. You know, LeBron's got 15 years on this guy. So. So LeBron showing the fountain of youth. And tonight, Lakers Clippers. Clippers are favored. Is that because the Lakers played more this week?

[Mel Reid]

There was a couple of injuries, a big one to Rui and his knee in last night's game. And at the end of the game, it looked like LeBron maybe tweaked his hamstring a little bit, so might not play full. Some injuries going into this game for the Lakers.

[Alec Baldwin]

Well, if you go to our Instagram story right now at Covinon Rich, I mean, I'm not saying millions of people have voted so far, but it is currently 100% to 0 of people that think VJ Vernon Husky took 25 shots instead of nailed it on his first shot. If you don't know what I'm talking about. One of our coworkers posted a video.

[Martin Luther King III]

He's a great broadcaster, by the way. Listen out for him. Vijay Husky, he was at the Lakers.

[Alec Baldwin]

Game covering the game, doing the behind the scenes interviews and everything. And he goes on the court, grabs a basketball, three pointer, nothing but the bottom of the net.

[Martin Luther King III]

So our question was, but he's pretending like, you know, first shot And I'm.

[Alec Baldwin]

Thinking, was it first shot or do you think he's like, yo, yo, record this. All right, do it again.

[Martin Luther King III]

All right, do it again and again.

[Alec Baldwin]

All right, do it again and again. Was it really shot 25?

[Martin Luther King III]

There's no. No way. There's no way, dude.

[Alec Baldwin]

If you post a video with your.

[Martin Luther King III]

Wife, your perception's a little off. When you're there at a big. In a big moment like that too. Like, it's gonna take you a few just to find your rhythm, you know what I mean?

[Alec Baldwin]

Think of how many times you record something on Instagram or TikTok for your wife or kids or something. Do you ever take the first take?

[Martin Luther King III]

No.

[Alec Baldwin]

Has the first take of anything. Unless you're Frank Sinatra.

[Martin Luther King III]

It's like you always burn the first pancake, Rich.

[Alec Baldwin]

You'll always burn the first Danny G. If we take a picture of us, what do we do? We always take multiple pictures. If we do a video like, yo, Danny G, come over here. You know, let's do that again. Let's do a better one.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah. Rarely does the first one come out the right way when you're trying to do something athletic, especially like make a long shot.

[Alec Baldwin]

Another one.

[Mel Reid]

It would surprise me if he did that on his first. But then again, he, I. For what I know he was an athletic dude in high school. He just decided to go to broadcasting. You know, he works with radio legend Steve Hartman. This Saturday on our network from 8 to 11 Eastern. I'm going to text our boy Steve Hartman right now to bring this up on the weekend show.

[Martin Luther King III]

No one's saying he can't make a three. We all can make a three point shot. I mean, did he make it on his first shot?

[Mel Reid]

The pocket square, the tight suit on?

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah, that's the question.

[Alec Baldwin]

The analogy for me would be, I love baseball. Right. There's a decent chance, especially without, without a doubt, with an aluminum bat, I could hit a home run out of Dodger Stadium. Wouldn't bet.

[Martin Luther King III]

I don't know.

[Alec Baldwin]

Maybe I've warning track power. Maybe I could do it. That's up for debate. But that would be like me being like, yo, grab a bat first. Swing bomb.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah. Who you? Juan Soto?

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, exactly. So, I mean, like, I admire the gusto. Oh, he has one vote. One.

[Martin Luther King III]

One version. Yes. His own vote.

[Alec Baldwin]

847 votes to one. No. All right, so hit the producer up and maybe they'll talk about it this weekend. But hey, having fun here Friday, Kavino and Rich, let's go to I low for an update. And then I got to know what we're watching this weekend, not only in the world of sports, but I have three things I want to tell you guys to check out, so hang tight. What's up Ilo?

[Jorge]

Fox Sports Radio's Rich Davis under fire for referring to LeBron James as a decrepit old dog not long for this world.

[Martin Luther King III]

Quote him.

[Alec Baldwin]

I love LeBron.

[Martin Luther King III]

Don't you know, it was. That's a great.

[Mel Reid]

I don't.

[Martin Luther King III]

Colin esque analogy, though. I really feel that. I think Luca lit his fire, brought like some fun competitive spirit back to the Lakers. He's revitalized, man.

[Jorge]

I'm refreshing LeBron's Twitter feed as we speak for the inevitable comeback. Anyway, in actual NBA news, fellows, the Philadelphia 76ers are shutting down Joel Embiid for the rest of the season due to ongoing issues with his left knee. The Sixers said in a statement. Embiid is medically unable to play and will now focus on treatment and rehab rehabilitation. No word yet on what this means for the status of Paul George's podcast. Anyway, the Boston Celtics ruled out Kristaps Porzingis for tonight's game against Cleveland due to illness. In the NFL. Matthew Stafford staying with the Los Angeles Rams. Multiple outlets report he's reached agreement on a restructured contract to remain in la. Multiple outlets also reporting the Rams have agreed with left tackle Alaric Jackson on a three year, $57 million extension. Finally, Hawkeye.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah.

[Jorge]

Now front Office Sports reports that NFL Films could not find an NFL team to be featured on the next off season installment of Hard Knocks. So instead, the series will follow the North Carolina Tar Heels and new head coach Bill Belichick. No word yet if NFL Films considered the possibility of a hard knucks of a Hard Knocks. Indianapolis Starbucks. Back to you guys.

[Alec Baldwin]

Thank you, Isaac.

[Martin Luther King III]

[Alec Baldwin]

If you get caught. By the way, what's the rule now? The new rule, if you get caught talking, talking to like a weird co worker or a parent at the school, if you get stuck in a moment, be like, hey, have you checked out Kavino and Rich? Grab their phone and download our podcast.

[Martin Luther King III]

There you go. I like it.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's the new get out of an awkward scenario move.

[Martin Luther King III]

I like it. So in the world of fighting on Amazon pay per view this weekend, Gervonta Tank Davis defending the WBA lightweight championship belt at 135 against Lamont Vermont Roach, who's 25. 1 1. So Gervonta Tank Davis fights this weekend.

[Alec Baldwin]

Jamonte ain't losing.

[Martin Luther King III]

I don't think he's losing either. He's undefeated. I think Mario Barrios is on that card too. Anyway, I'm excited just to watch that one again. Pay per view in the world at ufc.

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, what you got there?

[Martin Luther King III]

Monocop is fighting. He's fighting Alma Bayev and that's a flyweight fight. UFC fight night. But Brundage versus Marquez in the co main event is going to be an exciting one. That's a middleweight fight. Did you say robocops fighting robocop. Monel Cop. Oh, K A P E. I swear I heard robocop. No, no, no.

[Alec Baldwin]

By the way, speaking of ufc, did you see that the UFC might have a collaboration in training FBI agents?

[Martin Luther King III]

No way.

[Alec Baldwin]

Did you see this?

[Martin Luther King III]

I did not imagine in the middle.

[Alec Baldwin]

Of an FBI bust in incomes. I think they should.

[Martin Luther King III]

They should recruit. Recruit Keanu. Keanu should train the FBI.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'm being serious. That's a real headline I saw today.

[Martin Luther King III]

New leadership at the FBI.

[Alec Baldwin]

And you know, Dana White, Trump, they're kind of buddies. Yeah. Since it's all kind of circular.

[Martin Luther King III]

I mean, speaking of fights, Trump got in a pretty good fight today. I don't think so.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's. And by the way, you know, when I think about it, it sounds equal parts ridiculous, but equal part makes sense, I guess. So, like, I mean, right? I mean, we haven't seen the results. Ultimate UFC training, FBI guys. I mean, hand to hand combat. I mean, stranger things have happened.

[Martin Luther King III]

So some good boxes. UFC fight night. And I just want to shamelessly promote what I think is one of the best shows that we do that we have our bonus podcast, episode 82 of Over Promised, premiered this week. And we get you fired up some more about baseball, the greatest sport. We talk about nasty Nestor Cortez in the World Series last year, but we get you excited about baseball coming soon. And we talk Gene Hackman. We do a little Gene Hackman tribute and go over some fictional coaches in the world of sports, TV and movies. All right, so Over Promised us on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, stuff you need to watch this weekend.

[Alec Baldwin]

You can finally watch Past Paradise.

[Martin Luther King III]

I might actually. Yeah, I think I might.

[Alec Baldwin]

Is it because I know you hate my opinion because you, you know just how our relationship. But when every other friend you have is like, dude, he's reasonable.

[Martin Luther King III]

I'm starting to get a little bit of FOMO because everyone and I don't want the surprise ruined. I know there's a twist, and I feel like I'm on the the cusp of finding out what that twist is. I want to discover it.

[Mel Reid]

I'll tell you. Right. No. My wife, it took her the first two episodes to really. By the third, she was like, okay, I get it now. I'm hooked. So we're on episode four now, Rich.

[Alec Baldwin]

Paradise.

[Mel Reid]

Yes.

[Alec Baldwin]

Episode seven of Paradise.

[Martin Luther King III]

I'm hearing it's like the best episode ever.

[Alec Baldwin]

It might be the best episode of a TV show since maybe like, Red Wedding on Game of Thrones or one of those like, yo, that could be a movie. That episode could be a movie. So if you're watching paradise, it's on Hulu. Sterling K. Brown from this Is Us, James Mars, who you said, how do you not love that guy?

[Martin Luther King III]

He's great.

[Alec Baldwin]

James Marsden's great. There's a show that I started watching last night in the same vein as Paradise. Zero Day with Robert De Niro. You may think De Niro stinks as a guy these days. Like, he's very, you know, politically. Like, he's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. But as an actor, he's still, he still brings it. 00 day. Like 830 day. He plays a former president, and let's just say there's like a cyber attack and a lot of crap goes wrong. And he's sort of thrown into the mix as a former president. Like, they trust you go. And it's one of those, like, end of the world type of deals.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah. Watch the trailer. It looks good.

[Martin Luther King III]

Watch this again.

[Alec Baldwin]

Zero Day where? Netflix.

[Martin Luther King III]

Netflix, huh?

[Alec Baldwin]

It's a. It's a six part miniseries episode, Episode one. So far so good. So both in the same vein. Paradise and Zero Day. If you need something lighter, I watched this one last night. Late night on Netflix. Kate Hudson, based on her close relationship with Jeannie Buss. A television show loosely based on Jeanie Buss life. It's called Running Point. She takes over a fictional LA basketball team who. What do they call the Los Angeles Wave. Like they can't use the Lakers or anything but she, she takes over the wave and like it's like a rated R funny comedy about, you know, Kate Hudson now in charge of a basketball team. And I watched episode one, it was entertaining, really fun. So if you like Kate Hudson, if you like basketball, it's a good show and Genie Bus is behind it. Apparently Pepperdine did not like the use.

[Martin Luther King III]

Of the term wave or waves and.

[Alec Baldwin]

The color scheme and they're like, they're upset and I think they're filing like.

[Mel Reid]

A lawsuit or something over the.

[Alec Baldwin]

Some of the likeness that has been.

[Mel Reid]

Borrowed for the show. Pepper D right here and now he's.

[Martin Luther King III]

Going to be canceled. Just like winning time.

[Alec Baldwin]

But no, I honestly, Danny J. If anything I feel like you would like that because Genie Bus, Lakers, it's clearly the Lakers because they talk about their, their legacy and you see all the trophies and it's. But it's the wave.

[Mel Reid]

New episodes out today of the latest season of Love is Blind season eight. And guys, after a two year wait, Yellowstone fans are gonna like this on paramount. Plus the second season of 1923 which is the prequel to Yellowstone. Harrison Ford is back as Jacob Dutton. The camera work, the storyline, the cast. Amazing. So 19.

[Martin Luther King III]

Harris Ford's been working a lot in his 80s. That dude needs to relax. But he's drinking it, huh?

[Alec Baldwin]

I think if he, he slows down he's gonna.

[Martin Luther King III]

I think he's done more in the past few years than he's done in like his entire 70s.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe he was inspired by a young dog. Maybe.

[Martin Luther King III]

Danny G. I have a question about Love is Blind though. I started it. Does it get better? It picks up or no. Or is this a boring season?

[Alec Baldwin]

I, I like it. I like. Have you got to the point where you know the attractive yet crazy blonde with the tattoo on her chest?

[Martin Luther King III]

I just think she's attractive. Maybe I like crazy people. I don't know.

[Alec Baldwin]

I think if you think she's not crazy, then that's the problem with you.

[Martin Luther King III]

Maybe I haven't gotten to that part yet.

[Alec Baldwin]

It gets good. I Think it gets good. Have you not noticed there's like three or four love triangles? Like, who are they gonna pick?

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah, I don't know. I feel slow to me.

[Alec Baldwin]

Okay.

[Martin Luther King III]

Maybe I'm. Maybe I'm not caring as much about these strangers as I used to.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah, there's a couple of good storylines. It's worth getting to the. The good.

[Martin Luther King III]

All right.

[Alec Baldwin]

In my honest opinion, I'm actually excited to watch it tonight, so.

[Mel Reid]

Yeah, it does get better really quick, too. On the NBA tip Sunday, Nuggets at the Celtics. That's worth watching. That's a daytime game. And then at night, Clippers at the Lakers for the second time in a weekend that the two face off against each other.

[Alec Baldwin]

So, hey, lots to check out. Spot. Anything you want to add? Is there anything in the theater? Is it a dead time still?

[Martin Luther King III]

I feel Captain America, Brave New World is still out. The Academy Awards on Sunday. The oscars are this Sunday. 97th Academy Awards hosted by by Conan.

[Alec Baldwin]

Conan freaking O'Brien.

[Mel Reid]

Let's go.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's what tuning in alone that. I'm being serious, Sam. That alone. I will tune in for that because of Conan. I will watch the opening simply because Conan's hosting.

[Martin Luther King III]

Are we rooting for Chalamet or what?

[Alec Baldwin]

Have a great weekend. Enjoy until Monday. Enjoy your weekend. Arrivederci, baby.

[Martin Luther King III]

We will see you in the promised land.

[Alec Baldwin]

This is Nikki Glaser from the Nikki Glaser podcast. On a more serious note, I'm still thinking about that commercial with Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg hating on each other. Because when you listen to the reasons for hating someone or something, you realize just how stupid they really are. There is too much hate in this country and it's gotta stop. So join us at iHeart in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up, call it out and you can learn more by following OTs. UpWithHate.

Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast, here's the thing. I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers, and so many other fascinating people like writer and actor Dan Aykroyd.

[Mel Reid]

I love writing more than anything. You're left alone, you know, you do three hours in the morning, you write three hours in the afternoon. Go pick up a kid from school and write at night and after nine hours you come out with seven pages and then you're moving on.

[Alec Baldwin]

And actor and comedian Jack McBrayer. The most important aspect is the collaboration with people that I like, I trust are talented. That has been the most amazing gift to me about this crazy business that we've chosen and meeting these people who have such diverse talents and you're able to create something together.
