Speaker 3: The iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR. Rings.
Speaker 2: We got to talk about rings. Do they matter or
Speaker 2: do they not matter? Okay, because I'm hearing all sorts
Speaker 2: of different things about rings, and who.
Speaker 4: Can I ask?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 4: Can I ask your girlfriend of six years? Seven years?
Speaker 2: I mean, why would you say that right before a
Speaker 2: big party? She hasn't be Yeah, she isn't be in
Speaker 2: Vegas with me?
Speaker 3: Like, can we.
Speaker 4: Sorry I didn't.
Speaker 2: I've already made a few mistakes in Vegas, Dude, I
Speaker 2: don't need to do that again. But no, of course
Speaker 2: they matter in life. But do they matter in sports?
Speaker 2: Because someone very prominent in the NBA said no. We
Speaker 2: discussed that yesterday and then as of today, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of other prominent peace well teammates of Lebron that
Speaker 2: are saying they matter a lot. So we'll dive into that.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about watches today if we have time. But
Speaker 2: let's get into this now. Game six. Okay, see okay,
Speaker 2: see up three games to two. It's a must watch. IOA, Sam,
Speaker 2: you're watching, Danny G's got to be watching. He's our
Speaker 2: resident NBA guru. You guys are tuning in right, one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. And remember the Pacers don't lose very often
Speaker 2: back to back.
Speaker 3: True.
Speaker 2: And you know Sam's a little jaded because he's so
Speaker 2: he's so in that Caitlyn Clark zone that nothing really
Speaker 2: compares to him. And she is bringing the fire. I'm
Speaker 2: not seeing many people in the NBA bringing the fire
Speaker 2: she's bringing. You watching, Sam, I saw.
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm looking at a picture of Kaitlyn
Speaker 1: Clark singing shinado O'Connor.
Speaker 4: Nothing compares to you, Nothing.
Speaker 3: Compared to you. Mike and I Mike Lingar, the guy
Speaker 3: who runs his place.
Speaker 5: We will be driving to Vegas while the game is on,
Speaker 5: so we'll find it on the radio or on streaming,
Speaker 5: and we will be listening to that game.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's exciting, that's fun. So yeah, we gotta be
Speaker 2: tuned in because the Pacers need to win to push
Speaker 2: a game seven. It's as simple as that. But the
Speaker 2: side story is, well, was that Halliburton playing or not
Speaker 2: was a game time decision? But Shams is saying that
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna play. So it's a matter of, well,
Speaker 2: we're we gonna take his word for it or not.
Speaker 2: But we'll find out soon and we'll stay tuned with
Speaker 2: Dan Byer, who's got your updates?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Thenyg's on the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine
Speaker 2: on Fox. But the question is this, would you play?
Speaker 2: Do you think he should play? If you're not one
Speaker 2: hundred percent? Do you go out and do your best?
Speaker 2: Do you sit it out? Does it matter because it's
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals? I think it does. But I'll explain
Speaker 2: because I've always lived by this theory again, Cavino Enrich
Speaker 2: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Crceeve. I always
Speaker 2: live by the theory of if I'm not feeling close
Speaker 2: to one hundred percent, because especially at this age, why are.
Speaker 3: You ever really one hundred percent?
Speaker 2: Every right, But if you're not close to one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: maybe you sit it out because you're not bringing your
Speaker 2: best And then at that point, I mean, you're bad company.
Speaker 2: Like all right, let's say you had a hot date.
Speaker 2: But on that night you had a big pimple on
Speaker 2: your nose. Are you going to feel that confident on
Speaker 2: that date? And I know that's a lame example, but
Speaker 2: that's just the example. Are you gonna feel your ultimate
Speaker 2: confidence on that date? Are you gonna bring your ultimate best?
Speaker 2: Maybe it's best to sit it out that night, and
Speaker 2: then when you're feeling better, you bring it all the way,
Speaker 2: you deliver, you show that you're the man, and you
Speaker 2: leave a great impression. So in life sometimes I'm I'm
Speaker 2: understanding if you sit it out because you're not feeling
Speaker 2: that great, because sometimes you're just in your head because
Speaker 2: you're not good company.
Speaker 4: I mean, your example, while ridiculous, is a good one
Speaker 4: to Hey, hey.
Speaker 2: If it's a sore throw whatever the case may be,
Speaker 2: you got got a bad haircut, who cares?
Speaker 3: Whatever is making you feel like ass.
Speaker 4: If you've got to with the woman of your dreams
Speaker 4: she finally said yeah, let's get a drink, and you got,
Speaker 4: as you said, a big pimple right on the tip
Speaker 4: of your nose.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna bring your best? Especially if it's a
Speaker 2: woman of your dreams, you want to take that chance
Speaker 2: on that night. I want to see here when I'm
Speaker 2: feeling my dopest, my sweetest, the closest to one hundred
Speaker 2: percent that I am or that I can.
Speaker 1: But that isn't a little isn't that a little bit
Speaker 1: of a pee type of move to say I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sit it out because I don't because I'm not feeling
Speaker 1: a hunt doze percent. I always assume this, especially in
Speaker 1: the NFL, Danny, I feel like you back me up
Speaker 1: because every week when the injury reports come out, if
Speaker 1: a guy on my team who I know is a baller,
Speaker 1: if he can't play, I'm assuming, like, yo, he can't
Speaker 1: play because.
Speaker 4: These guys, you don't think they want to push it right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And the other thing about Hollie is that he is
Speaker 5: a facilitator.
Speaker 3: I love that word.
Speaker 5: And he's an assist minded guy. He wants to pass
Speaker 5: the ball first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But is he really helping the team if he's
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent? That's the question you need to
Speaker 2: keep in mind. And that's my point in saying in life,
Speaker 2: are you really helping yourself? If you're going out, if
Speaker 2: you're not feeling that great, maybe it's best to sit
Speaker 2: it out. However, these are extreme circumstances. This is the
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. This is do word die. Your team's got
Speaker 2: to win. I think you need to show up in
Speaker 2: this big moment. But think about it. Could he be
Speaker 2: hurting the team by playing at fifty sixty percent? We
Speaker 2: don't know how hurt he is. And that's also a
Speaker 2: tough decision. How many times in life where stakes aren't
Speaker 2: as high, you sit there and you deliberate on, man,
Speaker 2: should I go to work?
Speaker 3: Should I not? Maybe I could push through. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Should I go to the gym? Should I not? Should
Speaker 2: I go on this date? Should I not? Because you're
Speaker 2: just not feeling that great? Those decisions are hard enough,
Speaker 2: you know in life. Imagine how he must feel knowing
Speaker 2: that if he pushes it too hard, he might permanently
Speaker 2: injure himself. And it's not a guarantee. When you're an
Speaker 2: investment nowadays, you're not just a basketball player showing heart.
Speaker 5: What about just emotionally lifting your team up the way
Speaker 5: Willis Reed did for the name he limped out. He
Speaker 5: wasn't the star of that game. A lot of people
Speaker 5: don't know how that entire game played out.
Speaker 2: Legendary moment, different era though, too. That's what we need
Speaker 2: to keep in mind. Of course, we all want to
Speaker 2: see how Lei Burton get out there. The old daniel
Speaker 2: Lewis is going to fight. Everybody loves the old daniel
Speaker 2: Lewis is gonna fight. It's a big surprise to everybody, like,
Speaker 2: hell yeah, it is lifting. What is a different world
Speaker 2: we live in now where I don't know, guys just
Speaker 2: don't play with that same amount of recklessness and heart
Speaker 2: that they used to because they can't. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: because they don't want to. I'm saying because they can't
Speaker 2: because of their career trajectory and how much is put
Speaker 2: on them investment wise, So play or not.
Speaker 1: I feel like, perception wise, and for the team that
Speaker 1: he's a leader of, for a guy that was doing
Speaker 1: the Reggie Miller chokes and bolt against the Knicks, for
Speaker 1: the guy that's been making suit of Li Tres with
Speaker 1: the media, he's the type of guy that just his
Speaker 1: pure presence, like yo, I'm going to give it a go,
Speaker 1: is a mare booster to Indiana. I feel like if
Speaker 1: he sits out, which it doesn't seem like he will,
Speaker 1: he's gonna give it a go. But if he sits
Speaker 1: out tonight, I feel like, just like you're putting the
Speaker 1: vibe out there that like it's over, Like Yo, he's.
Speaker 4: Not even gonna give it a go. Season's over.
Speaker 2: Give it to Okay, we all want him to play,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about it, and it looks like he is.
Speaker 2: But based on this, we just posed a question. Is
Speaker 2: it always the best idea? And you know, let me
Speaker 2: bring up Kevin Durant. Look what happened to him when
Speaker 2: he wanted to push it and show that he was
Speaker 2: the man. And you know, I want to be moral
Speaker 2: support and lift a team and spirit and show that
Speaker 2: I got heart and do it. It set him back
Speaker 2: with a major injury. So it's not always the greatest thing.
Speaker 2: And like you said, going on that date, Rich, when
Speaker 2: you're not feeling that good, maybe you don't bring your
Speaker 2: best and maybe she thinks you're lame for it, and
Speaker 2: you just see blocked yourself and your potential with that woman.
Speaker 2: Maybe sometimes a little rest is okay, But again, NBA
Speaker 2: Finals a much different story, especially a game six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't imagine if you're a baller and competitor,
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to be out there, especially with your
Speaker 1: team that you've taken it this far. You're at game six,
Speaker 1: is listen, there's only potentially one more game after this.
Speaker 1: And I know you're saying you don't want to risk
Speaker 1: major injury. But unless your damn leg is hanging off
Speaker 1: or your your shoulders like dislocated, you can't shoot a
Speaker 1: basketball unless something so dramatic is going on.
Speaker 3: I think even perception wise wheel them out or something.
Speaker 1: Just to get the theatrics going right the game's in Indiana,
Speaker 1: like get the crowd amped up, like there he is,
Speaker 1: he's playing. Daniel Larrus is gonna fight like you said,
Speaker 1: this takes me back to grade school.
Speaker 3: In fact, Rich when you'd have a.
Speaker 2: Little sore throat your mom would rub vipps, vics, vapo
Speaker 2: rub on you.
Speaker 3: I mean she rubbed it on me. I don't know
Speaker 3: if your mom rubbed it on you.
Speaker 2: Now your mom rummed it on me, and she would say,
Speaker 2: sona sna coulitoa, and she would give me some suecrets
Speaker 2: or chloroseptic, you know, throw back Thursday sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: Louden's Pine Brothers kis And you're like, I don't know
Speaker 2: if I can go to school, and you sit it out.
Speaker 2: By the time Price's right was on you realized at
Speaker 2: that point that you probably could have went, and that
Speaker 2: was the worst feeling ever. I mean, I love playing
Speaker 2: hooky and sitting out, but you know, if you liked school.
Speaker 3: Or if you had a game that day, or you.
Speaker 2: Didn't want to miss gym class, or you know, you
Speaker 2: wanted to see the hot girl in school, you did
Speaker 2: feel bad or feel guilty for not showing up when
Speaker 2: midway through the day you realize you probably could have.
Speaker 3: On the highest of levels.
Speaker 2: Haliburton has to be feeling, man, if I don't go in,
Speaker 2: I'm always gonna regret it.
Speaker 3: So that's probably why he's gonna push himself.
Speaker 2: And the latest update Sham says he's probably gonna play,
Speaker 2: but as far as I know, still a game decision
Speaker 2: to see whether or not Daniel Luiso is gonna fight.
Speaker 4: They just I love that cove.
Speaker 1: I I want to put it in perspective. Also, what
Speaker 1: do we see every NFL season when a guy like
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or a guy like Lamar Jackson, or you know,
Speaker 1: someone of that nature gets knocked out of the playoff
Speaker 1: situation like ah, they'll be back next year, And we
Speaker 1: often realize that's that's like lip service. That's like, that's
Speaker 1: like someone saying, oh, you got pooped on.
Speaker 4: Oh that's good luck. Oh it rained on your wedding day.
Speaker 4: Oh that's just good luck.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just say things to make people feel better.
Speaker 1: Indiana is a great team, but with the Knicks getting better,
Speaker 1: with Boston still being the Celtics, it's not like this
Speaker 1: given where oh the Pacers will be the team for
Speaker 1: years to come. This might be Halliburton and Siakam and
Speaker 1: these guys. Real chance, he wants a chance.
Speaker 2: It's a great point and you have to go all
Speaker 2: out right. But is his sixty seventy percent better than
Speaker 2: the next person's one hundred percent?
Speaker 3: That's really the question here.
Speaker 1: And talk recently about those moments where those miraculous sick
Speaker 1: games and people playing for something like there's always these moments.
Speaker 4: And for all you know, we're three hours away.
Speaker 1: From remember that game where Halliburton played hurt and he
Speaker 1: facilitated as Danny said, and yo, Indiana, they took it
Speaker 1: at game seven and that's how they won.
Speaker 4: Like this might be the store.
Speaker 2: He comes at lacing up his new Puma shoes. Everyone
Speaker 2: gets all excited. It's a nice theatrical moment. It could
Speaker 2: be a memorable moment saying that, am I.
Speaker 4: Wrong by saying the in state, the in arena.
Speaker 1: Broadcast team, the scoreboard, the special effects. You don't think
Speaker 1: that they should play into this, like be like, yo,
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. Let's make it grandiosa, Let's make this
Speaker 1: a deal.
Speaker 2: You know, Oh, I don't think that's what we're sitting on,
Speaker 2: what we're waiting for. And like I said, I'm on
Speaker 2: the edge of my seat waiting for Dan Bayer to
Speaker 2: have a sweet update for us on it, because that's
Speaker 2: what we're discussing. Listen, he's most likely gonna play, but
Speaker 2: is it at the detriment to his team? It's almost
Speaker 2: like a you have to be unselfish here too. What
Speaker 2: is really best someone else's one hundred percent or your
Speaker 2: sixty seventy percent? And let me give you another example.
Speaker 2: We mentioned Kevin Durant. What could happen if you overextend
Speaker 2: yourself to try to be the hero? What about Nestor
Speaker 2: Cortes last year? Nasty Nestor hadn't pitched in a month,
Speaker 2: and what did he do? He said all the right
Speaker 2: things and all the cool things, like, yo, man, if
Speaker 2: the team needs me, I don't care if I permanently
Speaker 2: hurt myself. I don't care if it's a career ending injury.
Speaker 2: I want to win that ring with the Yankees. Put
Speaker 2: me in there, I'll go all out. Dude, had him
Speaker 2: pitched in a month. He goes out, He goes out
Speaker 2: there and gets shelled. Freddie Freeman hits a Grand Slam
Speaker 2: game over set the tone Game one, and the Dodgers
Speaker 2: win the World Series.
Speaker 3: That's miserable.
Speaker 2: So his his sixty percent set the team back.
Speaker 3: You see what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, I know we all want this heroic story, but
Speaker 2: at least hear out the other side.
Speaker 3: It's not always the best decision.
Speaker 1: Hey, of repeat after me just one time. Gibby, meet Freddy.
Speaker 3: Gibby me Freddy.
Speaker 2: But you think about him, that that was that was
Speaker 2: him being almost a little too selfless. I don't know
Speaker 2: how you want to look at it, but at the
Speaker 2: detriment of his team, someone else would have probably been
Speaker 2: better off in that situation than Nestor, who was pitching
Speaker 2: on all heart. Again, the intention was was was there?
Speaker 2: But guess what his arm was not? Freddie Freeman teed off.
Speaker 2: Fine guy.
Speaker 5: If Freddie Freeman was playing injured and he was almost
Speaker 5: a detriment on defense. Remember true, So it goes both ways.
Speaker 1: But you know what, Yeah, if Freddy's if Freddy's too
Speaker 1: much of a wuss, he's not taking that at bat
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm injured.
Speaker 2: Guys, was him showing all that heart and saying all
Speaker 2: the right things really worth it? That said that Tony
Speaker 2: Yankees had no shot after that, and that could be
Speaker 2: what Halliburton brings tonight, could be wishing for that at all.
Speaker 2: And again that all is speculation on how hurt he
Speaker 2: really is. We don't know, And it goes back to tolerance, right,
Speaker 2: Sometimes you push through and other people stay home.
Speaker 3: Everyone's different. We'll see how tough he is tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a quote from him. He says, it's the Finals.
Speaker 5: I worked my whole life to get here. If I
Speaker 5: can walk, I can play.
Speaker 3: I like the attitude.
Speaker 1: But Anny, I mean, that's sort of what I was
Speaker 1: thinking as far as like you play your whole life, Cavino.
Speaker 1: It's there are so few people that get this opportunity,
Speaker 1: the honor to play in the NBA, the MLB, the NFL.
Speaker 1: If you are like on the borderline of can I
Speaker 1: play or not? In the biggest game of your life.
Speaker 1: What has Halliburton played in a bigger game than an
Speaker 1: elimination NBA Finals Game six? You're right, unless he unless
Speaker 1: he needs to be in a wheelchair, this guy's gonna try.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Let me make this clear too.
Speaker 2: On my behalf, I'm Cavino, that is Rich Danny g
Speaker 2: sam Byer, everybody's hanging out. I want to make it
Speaker 2: clear that I agree with you. I want him out there.
Speaker 2: We all want him out there. We want to see
Speaker 2: a great game six. We want to see some heroic
Speaker 2: stuff happen tonight. We want to see him lace it up.
Speaker 2: We want to see something, like you said, theatrical. But
Speaker 2: I am just giving you other things to think about.
Speaker 2: It's not always the best decisions. Sometimes it is best
Speaker 2: to sit out, even though it's tough to sit it out.
Speaker 5: I'll give you an example of our industry. Chick hern
Speaker 5: back in the day, he was going for a record
Speaker 5: of x amount of broadcasts in a row, and he
Speaker 5: had laryngitis. It was so bad you could only make
Speaker 5: out like every third word he was saying in the
Speaker 5: first half of this Lakers game.
Speaker 3: It was bad.
Speaker 5: So in our business it would almost be like if
Speaker 5: it was a show you guys really needed to do,
Speaker 5: but you had laryngitis and it was hard to listen to.
Speaker 3: You gotta push it through, you know.
Speaker 2: On a funny note, we have our big event tomorrow
Speaker 2: from Vegas, right, hundreds of people showing up from all
Speaker 2: over the country to party with us at CIRCA. We're
Speaker 2: going to be doing it live here on Fox Sports
Speaker 2: A pull side. It's gonna be great, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: be boozing and schmoozing and broadcasting and shaking hands and
Speaker 2: high fives. And Rich Davis here is losing his voice
Speaker 2: as we speak. As we speak, you know, my em
Speaker 2: to home.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and I'm like, guy, I've
Speaker 4: got a broadcast. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: It if I have half a voice, if I could
Speaker 3: even with her, I'm in right ready to go.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: So I just hope that he brings it.
Speaker 2: I hope you I'll see a crappy effort because he's
Speaker 2: trying too hard where he's you know, just not at
Speaker 2: his best. What are you do in life based on that?
Speaker 2: A game six? You gotta show up it's the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: That's clear if you can. But in life, if you're
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent, do you show up or not?
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times you sit him out
Speaker 1: and then you wish you would have, like your price
Speaker 1: is right, theory is?
Speaker 4: I feel like that's life.
Speaker 1: So many times you're like, yeah, I'm tired, man, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go out tonight. Then your buddies all
Speaker 1: have a great time. You're like, man, I really could
Speaker 1: have gone out very much like you said. When you're
Speaker 1: a kid eleven or am hit, you're watching Prices right,
Speaker 1: you're playing Plinko with grandma, and you realize that the
Speaker 1: reality is that was.
Speaker 2: The thing he played seven up and you played kickball,
Speaker 2: and oh you missed that out on all the fun.
Speaker 2: Oh man, dB, what are your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 8: Well, I just want to draw a parallel. It's not exact,
Speaker 8: but I'm curious in your guys thoughts because Halliburton is injured.
Speaker 8: But it reminds me of the dilemma, say, like in
Speaker 8: the Little League World Series, do you want your stud
Speaker 8: pitcher who's probably seventeen years old to pitch in that
Speaker 8: game before you get to the championship game, or do
Speaker 8: you want him to pitch if you get to that
Speaker 8: championship game, you want him to pitch in that one?
Speaker 8: Because I think there's a good chance that Halliburton may
Speaker 8: not be one hundred percent tonight. And if he's not
Speaker 8: one hundred percent tonight and plays forty minutes, he's probably
Speaker 8: not gonna be one hundred percent for game seven. But
Speaker 8: if you didn't play him tonight, you have no guarantee
Speaker 8: that there is a game seven, and so like it
Speaker 8: may pay off if you held them out, we're able
Speaker 8: to win. But it reminds me, you know that Little
Speaker 8: League great where you can only have like sixty pitches,
Speaker 8: or you know you can't you're at your pitch limit
Speaker 8: for for youth baseball.
Speaker 1: And if you just when we play when we play
Speaker 1: games on our show, when we play Last one Standing
Speaker 1: and I save an answer and then give a wrong answer, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, yeah, yeah, do you use haliburd tonight?
Speaker 3: I didn't sure a game seven.
Speaker 5: You would almost have to live by anything can happen
Speaker 5: in a game seven because you just got to make
Speaker 5: it there.
Speaker 8: I agree with Danny. I would, yeah, I would. I
Speaker 8: would play him tonight and then whatever happens happens, but
Speaker 8: you have to get there first.
Speaker 2: And for the record, like I said, maybe uh, maybe
Speaker 2: you're on vacation. Maybe you were hitting the head. Who
Speaker 2: knows he's dealing with a right calf strain. That's really
Speaker 2: what it is. And Jack is just finding out by
Speaker 2: hearing you right now on the card.
Speaker 3: I was in the ocean. I missed the whole thing,
Speaker 3: all right. Well, here's why.
Speaker 2: In life though, in regular life, right not everyone's living
Speaker 2: a Game six sort of life. But in regular life,
Speaker 2: maybe sometimes it is best to sit out because when
Speaker 2: you push too hard, maybe you're exposing yourself perhaps or
Speaker 2: maybe you're making things worse.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like we said, Nasty Nestor or KD. I got in
Speaker 2: a car accident in the past year, and it was
Speaker 2: right before a big meeting we had. Do you guys
Speaker 2: remember that, Yeah, right before a big meeting. We left
Speaker 2: a studio. I pulled out of the parking lot and
Speaker 2: some JIBBRONI totaled my car and I was all shaken up,
Speaker 2: like anyone else is after a car accident.
Speaker 3: But I was okay.
Speaker 2: However, I did have significant whiplash and I was sort
Speaker 2: of dazed and confused as to what just happened. But
Speaker 2: I know we had this big meeting with big clients
Speaker 2: here at Fox Sports Radio, and Rich came and picked
Speaker 2: me up. We went to this restaurant and had this
Speaker 2: big meeting, and you know where I would have normally
Speaker 2: brought my one hundred percent or anything close to one
Speaker 2: hundred percent as I would have brought. I'm there at
Speaker 2: like forty percent days like a dope, and all these
Speaker 2: guys think I'm a dope. As a result, I should
Speaker 2: have put you. I should have left you in the
Speaker 2: blue tent. So like maybe like, yeah, I want to
Speaker 2: show that. Yeah man, I'm still here and I want
Speaker 2: to show that I'm I'm a team player.
Speaker 3: But did I really bring my best in that moment?
Speaker 2: The next time I saw those people and they're the best,
Speaker 2: they were like, yeah, dude, we knew something was off.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: Are you that is that the time you told the
Speaker 5: sponsor about your idea for alcohol ice cubes?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like I was like so down, like a zombie. You know,
Speaker 2: I wasn't myself. Maybe I should have sat it out.
Speaker 2: I think there's sometimes in life where it's okay and
Speaker 2: you just you want to push and you want to
Speaker 2: do the right thing, but maybe do and the right
Speaker 2: thing is actually the wrong thing. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: We all want to see Halliburton get out there, no doubt.
Speaker 4: I remember have you known that meeting?
Speaker 1: He was like, tire Rack, I mean, I love Ty.
Speaker 2: You thought I was an idiot, respectfully, of course, and
Speaker 2: I am. But I mean they thought, like, what's up
Speaker 2: with this guy? What's what's wrong with this guy?
Speaker 3: I was there.
Speaker 1: We should have dropped we should have dropped Covino off
Speaker 1: at a little uh.
Speaker 3: And then and then you know what happened.
Speaker 4: Rich.
Speaker 2: I'm justifying that I just gotten that accident. I'm telling
Speaker 2: everybody my sob story, Like, that's not the impression I
Speaker 2: wanted to give. So think about it, and let's get
Speaker 2: to some phone calls. We got Travis in La on
Speaker 2: the Covino and Rich show Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: Yo, Travis, are you on your way to Vegas?
Speaker 4: What's going on buddy tomorrow morning?
Speaker 7: Short drive?
Speaker 10: Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 3: Nice, awesome? So what are your thoughts?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 11: So, I almost like the topic too much because I
Speaker 11: studied psychology in college and I agree with your side
Speaker 11: of it. You know what I always think about I
Speaker 11: think about bands on tour, like, what do they do
Speaker 11: when they get in a fight with their girlfriend or
Speaker 11: something like an hour before the show? Now you've got
Speaker 11: to play songs that are sad, happy, all these things.
Speaker 11: How are you supposed to do that?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 2: You know, dude, it's something that when you work in entertainment.
Speaker 2: I guess you could say we loosely do that. It's
Speaker 2: obvious we live real lives and there's ups and downs
Speaker 2: all the time, right, your wife or girlfriend busting your chops,
Speaker 2: your kids are paining in the ass. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people, not everybody, but a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I can tell you straight up. I'm one of those
Speaker 2: guys that could usually compartmentalize, just like you have to
Speaker 2: compartmentalize that word in order to say it compartment you
Speaker 2: have to compartmentalize your life. And it's like that show
Speaker 2: severance when I'm at work. Ah, you know, my daughter
Speaker 2: being a teenage pain in the ass is sort of
Speaker 2: forgotten in that moment, and I think this is sort
Speaker 2: of the escape, and that's how it works, like a logically,
Speaker 2: at least for people like me.
Speaker 4: No, I mean he's right, though, I mean guys like
Speaker 4: U Kam.
Speaker 1: You know, I've always thought that was such a quality
Speaker 1: of yours, Like can you know what be going through
Speaker 1: some real life terrible drama and he would just bring
Speaker 1: it on the air.
Speaker 4: Some people could check out some cample.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some people give like you are, like the TV
Speaker 1: show Severance, where other people a baseball player might be slumping,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe guess his wife asked for a divorce.
Speaker 1: You know, not everybody's like that. It's different for everybody.
Speaker 1: With Zach came up with a great example. I mention,
Speaker 1: if you're a rock star and you got to sing
Speaker 1: love ballads on stage and the person you wrote that
Speaker 1: song about you hate in the moment, Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: it's tough.
Speaker 3: But you know it's a job, it's a gig.
Speaker 2: You can't you got you know, the show must go
Speaker 2: on as the saying goes. But sometimes it's at the
Speaker 2: detriment of your reputation of you. And we're hoping for Haliburt.
Speaker 2: It's not of his team at this point, so it
Speaker 2: looks like he's going to play. We'll keep you posted.
Speaker 2: That's the latest report from Shams. The right camp strain
Speaker 2: and you never know, if he pushes it could hurt
Speaker 2: it even more. We're still getting phone calls.
Speaker 1: I think, does anyone in OKC that's like, yeah, give
Speaker 1: him tonight, I want to win at home game seven?
Speaker 4: Or you think it's like no, no, let's win now.
Speaker 1: There's always some people that are like at home, the
Speaker 1: NBA road celebrations stink compared to home.
Speaker 2: And by the way, Richie, know what else I'm thinking about.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about how generationally it is a little different.
Speaker 2: There's some generations that want to always push through and
Speaker 2: push through and push through, and then there's other generations.
Speaker 2: And I'm not calling people out that just don't push
Speaker 2: through his heart, you know. So it's case by case.
Speaker 2: Jesse in Indiana. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 11: I just so my personal opinion on this is I
Speaker 11: think Aliburton should play, yeah, but I don't think he
Speaker 11: should start.
Speaker 10: I think McConnell.
Speaker 11: Should start over him playing limited minutes, you know, when
Speaker 11: he's randy, when he's.
Speaker 13: Feeling it for Carlisle. Put him in when.
Speaker 10: He's hey, put McConnell back again.
Speaker 2: Hey, You ever think is strategy too that happens in sports?
Speaker 2: Like maybe he's all right and it's just messing with
Speaker 2: OKC for them to think that he is hurt and
Speaker 2: then he comes out and lights it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I've thought about, like even strategies like he
Speaker 1: was insinuating, what if you don't start him and what
Speaker 1: if what if the Pacers are winning by eight in
Speaker 1: the you know, first quarter and when you know, double
Speaker 1: digit lead.
Speaker 4: At halftime, you could really play it safe.
Speaker 1: I've always thought that with baseball, and I know people
Speaker 1: in baseball say pitchers have such a routine, But let
Speaker 1: me give you the example up. Let's say the Tigers
Speaker 1: are in a playoff game and they have scooball ready
Speaker 1: to start it. Does Tigers put up a six spot
Speaker 1: in the top of the first inning. Don't you feel
Speaker 1: like you want to be like, no, no, no, save him
Speaker 1: for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you think, but pitchers are so particular
Speaker 2: about the route. Professional athletes are weird like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm just thinking maybe that's the solution. Maybe
Speaker 1: you don't start them and you see how things go.
Speaker 4: You know, it really is.
Speaker 1: I mean Niners, the Niners have taken that approach in
Speaker 1: the past with McCaffrey, where it's like, yeah, let's go
Speaker 1: light until we see if we really need him in
Speaker 1: this matchup?
Speaker 2: Do we have Jesse in Indiana? Jesse, thank you so much, Travis.
Speaker 2: I also want to thank you. Hope to see you
Speaker 2: in Vegas. Now we'll get to the rest of your
Speaker 2: phone calls. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Next
Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk rings. Do they matter or not?
Speaker 2: An old school in fifty hits. But let's get to
Speaker 2: our good pal, the great Dan Byer.
Speaker 8: Guys, you guys hit on the injury status with Tyres Halliburton.
Speaker 8: Is that game time decision, but they think he's going
Speaker 8: to go. Tonight tip off eight thirty Eastern Time between
Speaker 8: the Thunder and the Pacers. Houston Rockets gave head coach
Speaker 8: Emy Udoka a long term contract extension makes him one
Speaker 8: of the highest paid head coaches in the NBA.
Speaker 3: And now it is time for our tire rack play
Speaker 3: of the day. This time the.
Speaker 2: Dodgers handled the Padres in walkoff fashion Smith, which is
Speaker 2: a fly.
Speaker 3: Ball right center field, Tatis on.
Speaker 4: The wrong at the warning track.
Speaker 6: Bet the walk it is gone, It's gone, he is
Speaker 6: tun is over.
Speaker 3: They celebrate in front of the play. Oh walk up
Speaker 3: home wrong crew, Will Smith. The Dodgers went in the
Speaker 3: ninth four to three.
Speaker 1: Wow courtesy of AM five seventy Dodgers Audio Network, and
Speaker 1: that's a tire rect play of the day.
Speaker 4: And for over forty.
Speaker 1: Years, tire X's been driving customers and helping them find
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Speaker 1: Ship fast and free back by free Road, has protection,
Speaker 1: convenient insallation options like mobile tire Insallation, tire act dot
Speaker 1: Com the way tire bink should be in Cavino, you
Speaker 1: heard it there in the clip. I have a theory
Speaker 1: that you will resist because you're a Yankees fan. And
Speaker 1: I hate to say it because I'm not a Dodgers fan,
Speaker 1: but you got to give it to him man when
Speaker 1: they win and walk off fashion and that I love
Speaker 1: LA song hits in the background, Dude, do.
Speaker 3: I don't like that song?
Speaker 2: A song from Naked Gun sounds like a like a
Speaker 2: campy eighties cheesy comedy song.
Speaker 3: Covino would rather hear fat Yo. Yeah, yeah, sorry, Danny G.
Speaker 2: Your Dodgers are so great. My Yankees and Riches Mets
Speaker 2: were battling on who could suck the most the past
Speaker 2: six games.
Speaker 1: But I will say though, when I when I hear
Speaker 1: that I love La. You tell me that doesn't hit
Speaker 1: the right way.
Speaker 3: No, you mean the team that beat the Yankees last year?
Speaker 2: Screw them? So I prefer Old Blue Eyes Rich. That's
Speaker 2: how it is, right. But we're Covino and Rich and
Speaker 2: speaking of baseball. Look at the time, all school win
Speaker 2: fifty hits, there's.
Speaker 3: A certain.
Speaker 9: Y.
Speaker 14: What we gonna do is go back back into time,
Speaker 14: throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.
Speaker 14: That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
Speaker 14: and we reminisce together.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So.
Speaker 2: Word on the streets is today is an anniversary especial
Speaker 2: day on this day in eighteen forty six. I think Mike,
Speaker 2: who runs his place, he was probably around around that time.
Speaker 2: I think he was there when it happened.
Speaker 4: Mike, he was there.
Speaker 2: I heard he was there on this day when fall
Speaker 2: was invented. In what city was invented on this day?
Speaker 4: Hoboken, New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Hoboken, New New Jersey, where Covino and Rich met and
Speaker 2: began this journey as a show together Dannie.
Speaker 1: Right off of Washington Street in Hoboken, where all the
Speaker 1: bars are by the way, Hoboken, New Jersey, the home
Speaker 1: of old Blue Eyes and more bars per capita. Hoboken's
Speaker 1: a really cool town right across the Hudson River from
Speaker 1: New York City.
Speaker 4: And there it is.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a plaque and it says baseball started here.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I've seen the plat Danny g
Speaker 1: it's a historical monument.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I remember the ken Burns documentary famously talking
Speaker 5: about it, The.
Speaker 2: Ken Burns documentary Classic. So we ask you Fox Sports
Speaker 2: Radio Nation Throwback Thursday, Old School and fifty hits. This
Speaker 2: is when we get everybody involved, the most inclusive show
Speaker 2: on radio. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and
Speaker 2: at Kovin and Rich at Fox Sports Radio on this anniversary,
Speaker 2: on this day, eighteen forty six, baseball was invented.
Speaker 3: Baseball as we know it, Baseball as we know it?
Speaker 2: Right, what are the most important moments in baseball to you?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 4: I have that, and I have a second part of
Speaker 4: the question. I want to add.
Speaker 1: I want to go your favorite baseball memory that you
Speaker 1: think was just so iconic, that meant so much to you,
Speaker 1: if baseball went at all the same without it, and
Speaker 1: also your.
Speaker 4: Favorite weird baseball saying er.
Speaker 1: Lingo, because I'll give you one, Okay, I give you
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you two, all right. My favorite moment,
Speaker 1: clearly as a Mets fan, gets by Buffler rounding third
Speaker 1: is night and the Mets win the ball game Game six,
Speaker 1: eighty six. I was in kindergarten. I was my son's age,
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking like, is this the beginning a
Speaker 1: lot of great things? And know the Mets haven't won since,
Speaker 1: but eighty six, Game six gets by Buckner's my moment.
Speaker 1: My favorite sayings in baseball little number, never understood that
Speaker 1: little number. And I love how it's okay that we
Speaker 1: just call guys studs. For some reason, you're left to
Speaker 1: call other grown men studs.
Speaker 3: With Rice Harper's a stud, so hear from you guys.
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a little number. That's probably why.
Speaker 2: Again, greatest moments that are important to you, we chop
Speaker 2: it up next right here on Cavino and Rich Fox
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. If you want to hear the dirty things
Speaker 2: I think people do at the Stanley Cup, listen to
Speaker 2: the Bonus pod where I could be uncensored. If you
Speaker 2: want to hear why there's something wrong with Rich perhaps, Yeah,
Speaker 2: take a listen for sure, something wrong with this guy.
Speaker 2: So I'm Cavino, that is Rich and we do this
Speaker 2: every Thursday, old school when fifty hits. According to Iowa
Speaker 2: Sam's math, one hundred and seventy nine years ago.
Speaker 3: Rich baseball was.
Speaker 2: Invented today, eighteen forty six on this day. So it
Speaker 2: got us thinking about the most important moments to you
Speaker 2: in baseball history. And there's historical moments like I'll give
Speaker 2: you an example of that might not be one for me.
Speaker 2: Look it's been around one hundred and eighty years almost,
Speaker 2: but let's say in Seattle, Dan Byer could correct me. Well,
Speaker 2: he's not a he's a Seattle Seahawks fan, not a
Speaker 2: Mariners fan. But in Seattle, Rich they often say if
Speaker 2: they didn't win in ninety five, they wouldn't have safe
Speaker 2: co field, right, Yeah, they.
Speaker 1: Say, if King Griffey Junior didn't show up in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have kept that team in Seattle. Maybe getting
Speaker 1: Junior saved baseball in Seattle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe just getting him period, was that significant moment
Speaker 2: for your square, right? Perhaps it was Jay Buner. I
Speaker 2: don't know, it depends what you asked. But if they
Speaker 2: didn't win in ninety five at the Yankees expense. Baseball
Speaker 2: might not exist there anymore. So that's a historical moment
Speaker 2: in Seattle history. And I'll give an obvious one. I
Speaker 2: got to get it out of the way. Jackie Robinson
Speaker 2: breaking the color barrier has to be one of the
Speaker 2: most important things to ever happen in baseball, not only
Speaker 2: for baseball, just for you know, the world that we
Speaker 2: live in today. So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be of historical significance. It could
Speaker 2: be something like Ridge said, the Mets winning in eighty six.
Speaker 2: Maybe your first baseball game, Yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever it
Speaker 2: means to you.
Speaker 1: I remember my first baseball game. My mother likes to
Speaker 1: remind me that I should never be hard on my
Speaker 1: kids if they like want to leave a game, because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a diehard baseball fan, and my mom
Speaker 1: would always tell me that at the games, when everyone
Speaker 1: else is cheering let's go Mets, I was cheering let's
Speaker 1: go home. You're a little kid, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: want to be sitting there in the heat. But you
Speaker 1: know what oo, I watched it documentary recently, so I
Speaker 1: got to shout out my pal Al you know Albert,
Speaker 1: give me know my buddy, al al Spalding.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I think this is a big moment in sports history
Speaker 1: that could go under the radar. Obviously ended up making
Speaker 1: balls for a variety of sports, the NBA, but it
Speaker 1: was back in the late eighteen hundreds that Spalding was
Speaker 1: the guy that got every little baseball league in town
Speaker 1: to use the same baseball. I don't know if people
Speaker 1: know this before that it was almost like houseball, you
Speaker 1: know when you played wiffleba as a kid, where it
Speaker 1: was like neighborhood rules. It was neighborhood rules in real baseball.
Speaker 1: Like some balls were tighter, some balls are bigger, smaller.
Speaker 1: Spalding was the guy that made Yeah, but was this.
Speaker 2: Spalding also the guy that made the glove like an
Speaker 2: acceptable thing because he was so good. Anyone that wore
Speaker 2: glove was made fun of, like you big wimp, you
Speaker 2: wear a glove? What a weenie? You know, we played
Speaker 2: bare handed. But because he was so good and people
Speaker 2: respected him so much, it made it okay. Isn't that
Speaker 2: the back something.
Speaker 4: Like that was the original baseball.
Speaker 1: They started out as gloves and then the fingers on
Speaker 1: the gloves just started getting bigger and bigger, like Mickey Mouse,
Speaker 1: and then who decided to tie all the fingers of
Speaker 1: the gloves together? See like I'm bringing the fun facts today.
Speaker 1: You might have heard of them, the Rawlings Brothers. So
Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the gloves you had as
Speaker 1: a kid. It was the Rawlings Brothers that said, let's
Speaker 1: make a pocket to the glove and connect the fingers.
Speaker 1: And you could go nerdy old school like that, or
Speaker 1: simply just say, hey, Freddie Freeman last year is my
Speaker 1: favorite moment.
Speaker 2: You know, these are all important moments in baseball history,
Speaker 2: but everybody has the ones that stand out to them.
Speaker 3: Dan Byer, do you have one?
Speaker 8: Well, I was just gonna say, just on the heels
Speaker 8: of what Rich was talking about. Like a house, baseball
Speaker 8: ends up becoming uniformed. But isn't that what makes baseball
Speaker 8: so great? With these stadiums where every NFL field is
Speaker 8: the same, every NBA courts by and large is the same,
Speaker 8: with the same dimensions, paintings and otherwise are different. But
Speaker 8: isn't that what makes the Green Monster awesome? Or know
Speaker 8: the right field hole in Fenway Park, Yeah, you know
Speaker 8: the warehouse in Baltimore, Like all those things like, that's
Speaker 8: something that I find great. I also love this chatter.
Speaker 8: Come on, kid, come on now, come on, come on, yeah,
Speaker 8: come on.
Speaker 2: Baseball chatter, Yes, I love it. Sounds of the game absolutely.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: Maybe don't get it at a at a big league ballpark,
Speaker 8: but you go to any legion tournament or high school,
Speaker 8: you always have chatter.
Speaker 4: Hey, Dann Bayer, Yes, good ie, good good.
Speaker 3: I can't take your pits, kid. Come on now, come on,
Speaker 3: come on kid.
Speaker 1: How about now you've seen them, you're hacking.
Speaker 8: I turned southern. By the way, I don't know if
Speaker 8: you can tell, but when I did my chatter, it's
Speaker 8: like I just you know, was born in Alabama.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, rich the other sounds of the
Speaker 5: game when we were little kids at the stadiums uh,
Speaker 5: the announcers on transistor radios, you won't hear that anymore.
Speaker 4: No doubt. Man. And and by the.
Speaker 1: Way, especially here in l a dB, speaking of the
Speaker 1: old school chatter, Cavino and I always joke about how,
Speaker 1: you know, when I know they still sell them, maybe
Speaker 1: like the old timers buy them, but the guy that
Speaker 1: sells things that stadium still talk like they're from the
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties gets a program here, program Peanuts, popcorn program.
Speaker 4: Old school.
Speaker 2: That's the cool part about baseball, Yeah, because it goes
Speaker 2: so far back.
Speaker 3: There's so much history. So again the bam.
Speaker 8: You, I don't dip. But if I was playing first base,
Speaker 8: I'd have my tongue in my bottom lip, you know, right,
Speaker 8: doing that chatter right the best?
Speaker 2: All right, so we get you involved at eight seven,
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox. There's so much history when
Speaker 2: it comes to baseball. And aside from Rob Parker's love
Speaker 2: of baseball, here on Fox Sports Radio, we're one of
Speaker 2: the only shows that really loved talking about baseball because
Speaker 2: it pot on right now, I got my baseball, still
Speaker 2: love baseball.
Speaker 4: I got one.
Speaker 1: Let's say, coming up in the lineup was a Cavino buyer,
Speaker 1: Danny g.
Speaker 4: That sounds like hits.
Speaker 3: That sounds like here, it sounds like ron, sounds like
Speaker 3: some ruds. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love baseball chatter too. That's a good point, Dan,
Speaker 1: But if baseball chatter is the best sports.
Speaker 2: Chatter, you remember the first time you heard ducks in
Speaker 2: a pond. They're like, oh, okay, ducks in a pond.
Speaker 3: They get it. Okay, Oh we want a pitcher, not
Speaker 3: a belly itcher.
Speaker 2: Oh we want to catcher, not a belly scratcher.
Speaker 3: Oh we want to catcher.
Speaker 2: Not by the way, the kids a really fun creative one.
Speaker 4: Pitcher gets up.
Speaker 1: You know when pitchers would hit and literle league itself
Speaker 1: like got runners on base Yo, help yourself, help yourself.
Speaker 3: Oh so good.
Speaker 2: I mentioned Jackie Robinson, So I'm gonna get another one
Speaker 2: out of the way. As a as a half fato local,
Speaker 2: myself got to give props to the great Roberto Clemente
Speaker 2: again being the first Hispanic player of Puerto Rican descent
Speaker 2: to play professional baseball in nineteen fifty five. These are
Speaker 2: all major moments that opened up the game to where
Speaker 2: it is today.
Speaker 3: Right, So again I have.
Speaker 2: To point that out, but it doesn't have to be
Speaker 2: that historical because me personal, I remember the nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: six World Series, right, the.
Speaker 3: Yankees were down, dude down.
Speaker 2: The Braves were dominant, and then Jim Larretz hits this
Speaker 2: magical home run and turns the whole series around and
Speaker 2: the Yankees win that series, and that sort of started
Speaker 2: that dynasty for the New York Yankees. If you guys remember,
Speaker 2: that was like a clear memory because before that was
Speaker 2: a little kid. When they won in ninety six, when
Speaker 2: that turnaround happened with Jim Larretz's home run, the Yankees
Speaker 2: never looked back. They win the World Series, yet a
Speaker 2: stumble in ninety seven, but then they go on that
Speaker 2: major run. Dude, and looking back, I think we're far
Speaker 2: enough removed to look back and say what they did
Speaker 2: was insane. Yeah, that dynasty the Yankees had, winning three
Speaker 2: in a row.
Speaker 3: That's unheard of.
Speaker 2: Baseball's the hardest sport to repeat in. They did three
Speaker 2: in a row. So Larret's he's in trouble, right, he's
Speaker 2: a yeah. Well, I'm not saying he's the best, dude.
Speaker 2: I'm saying he turned that whole series around. So let's
Speaker 2: hear that. Can you know said Jim Larritz is his hero.
Speaker 2: That's not what I said. I'm saying that whole turnaround
Speaker 2: when they were looking like they didn't have a chance
Speaker 2: against the Atlanta Braves. So moments important moments to you
Speaker 2: that made baseball is what it is.
Speaker 3: Danny G. What's yours?
Speaker 5: How about Hank Aaron's historic seven hundred and fifteenth home run.
Speaker 5: Now we weren't around, but we famously see the clip
Speaker 5: over and over of those two fans running out to
Speaker 5: pat him on his back in their seventies duds.
Speaker 3: You know what's so cool about that?
Speaker 2: As he was getting so much flack about breaking the
Speaker 2: Babes record, right, like no one wanted him to be
Speaker 2: the guy, and racial barriers and things like that. Redict
Speaker 2: and then you see these two goofy white dudes, the
Speaker 2: leather chack like seventy bell boy dollers, big collared seventies dudes.
Speaker 3: That is one of the most classic clips for sure.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it in a minute, but I love
Speaker 2: that clip. So the ones that stand out to you.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone to get everybody involved. Where
Speaker 2: do you want to start?
Speaker 3: Let's start with Baker in Illinois. Baker in Illinois.
Speaker 2: You're on the Cavino and Rich Show, the Anniversary of Baseball.
Speaker 4: Hey man, what's up?
Speaker 7: So it's kind of a not a moment, but uh
Speaker 7: so I'll try and make it quick. I grew up
Speaker 7: listening to Braves games on my radio, and so I
Speaker 7: was a fan. And then the Yankees knocked him out
Speaker 7: of the World Series, so I decided I hate the Yankees.
Speaker 7: And then and I jumped on the bag bandwagon right
Speaker 7: at the right time in three, and then the Yankees
Speaker 7: knocked the Red Sox out, but then four they won
Speaker 7: and that was dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for any Red Sox fan or Yankee hater, four
Speaker 2: was insane because it goes back to the curse of
Speaker 2: the Babe when they dished him after nineteen eighteen. Right, So,
Speaker 2: and that's another question itself. Would baseball be the same?
Speaker 2: Rich baseball would still exist, but would it be the
Speaker 2: same if Babe Ruth wasn't traded to the Yankees?
Speaker 1: I mean, would the NBA be what it was if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the Magic Johnson Larry Bird feud and
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan coming And you can say that about most stems.
Speaker 1: I think Babe, you know, was super important back then.
Speaker 1: He was larger than life. He was a circus act.
Speaker 4: People would go see him to just hit the ball.
Speaker 3: Why could argue, yeah, he one could argue though.
Speaker 2: He might be the most important figure in baseball to
Speaker 2: make it what it is today, no doubt. So thank
Speaker 2: you man. Uh yeah, two thousand and four. Major impact
Speaker 2: for anybody in the New England area too. How about
Speaker 2: all those old people that never sawt this other team win,
Speaker 2: and you're just happy for Grandpa that you got to
Speaker 2: see something. Scott and Missouri Important moments in baseball.
Speaker 15: November November second, twenty sixteen. Cubs winning the World Series unbelievable.
Speaker 15: I mean, I'm growing up because saying in Chicago, I
Speaker 15: moved to Springfild, Missouri, right in the middle of Cardinal Country.
Speaker 15: I did take a crap for years, but finally the
Speaker 15: Cubs get it. They win the World Series.
Speaker 1: You know, I always wonder if the Cubs fan had
Speaker 1: a hangover after that, meaning like not from drinking, Like
Speaker 1: like now what, because I there's that. There was such
Speaker 1: a lovable charm about the Cubs. You finally win one,
Speaker 1: and then I wonder, like, what does that feel like that?
Speaker 2: There are so many great stories similar to the four
Speaker 2: Red Sox. You waited your whole life to see that.
Speaker 2: The story of David Ross was big too. Remember he
Speaker 2: got carried off the field his majestic home run. That
Speaker 2: was huge for Chicago and we all got to witness
Speaker 2: that absolutely in our lifetime.
Speaker 3: One of the greatest moments for sure. Thank you man.
Speaker 3: Rob in Pennsylvania, you're on the Cavino and Rich Show.
Speaker 13: Hey guys, I love you I love your show.
Speaker 3: Thanks man.
Speaker 13: Thanks the guy just stole my thunder was the Cubs
Speaker 13: winning the World Series and eight years and something cool
Speaker 13: was a baseball has one hundred and eight threads, so
Speaker 13: he couldn't have matched up anything better.
Speaker 3: You know that's cool.
Speaker 2: And you know what you think too about like Steve
Speaker 2: Bartman and all the stupid things that happened and the
Speaker 2: Port Cubs.
Speaker 4: And you know, it's it's funny.
Speaker 1: Danbyer brought up a great point and Cavi, you know,
Speaker 1: I know you found the chatter some young some young
Speaker 1: kid on social media that's learning baseball and he's like, yo,
Speaker 1: when was someone gonna tell me all the stadiums were different?
Speaker 1: And to me, there there's such a charm about That's
Speaker 1: why will people do want to go see different basketball
Speaker 1: games and football games? Why do you think everyone wants
Speaker 1: to go see every Major League baseball stadium because they're
Speaker 1: all different.
Speaker 4: You go to Milwaukee, they got the slide in left field.
Speaker 1: You go see the an Astros game and they got
Speaker 1: the train in left field, or remember they used to
Speaker 1: have that little center field little thing. You go to
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, It's Yankee Stadium every every you go to
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. You see the the I on the wall.
Speaker 1: It's there's something so special about each stadium, the dimensions,
Speaker 1: the grass, everything. And by the way, we've been to
Speaker 1: MLB experiences where I know Dan Byer enjoys this conversation.
Speaker 12: Dan.
Speaker 1: They showed all the different types of grass at all
Speaker 1: the stadiums, like in his precision, like the different types
Speaker 1: of strains of grass that all the different stadiums use.
Speaker 3: That's an another thing.
Speaker 8: That's why I think golf appeals to me so much,
Speaker 8: aside from just the sheer frustration of it, but it's
Speaker 8: such a gorgeous setting in Major League Baseball with that
Speaker 8: lush green field. If you have certain stuff mode absolutely
Speaker 8: in San Francisco, this is kind of funny. I don't
Speaker 8: know if anybody remembers this. The San Francisco Giants before well,
Speaker 8: they changed it. They used to have the old Navy
Speaker 8: like splash landing area, right, But do you guys know
Speaker 8: the story of Rusty, the fourteen foot mechanical mascot that
Speaker 8: would come out if they hit a home run into
Speaker 8: the splash landing.
Speaker 3: You gotta look this up. It is such a failure.
Speaker 2: They got rid of it, but it was this fourteen
Speaker 2: foot mechanical baseball dude that would come gliding out, tipping
Speaker 2: his hat out to the to the audience, and everyone
Speaker 2: hated it so much that they eventually got rid of it.
Speaker 2: But the railway that he would the track that he
Speaker 2: would move on, is still there underneath that splash landing
Speaker 2: at It's Oracle right at Oracle pack Bell Park, whatever
Speaker 2: the heck it is. But look up the legend of
Speaker 2: Rusty and it might trigger some memories because that story's
Speaker 2: wild Rusty again. It goes with the signature look that
Speaker 2: every stadium has, which is why we like these ballparks.
Speaker 2: You're right, I love that originality that every city brings
Speaker 2: to the game. Oh my god, this is so weird.
Speaker 2: Oh honestly, I think it's kind of cool. But it
Speaker 2: got such backlash and people were scared of it. Kids
Speaker 2: hated it, and everyone's like the socks they got rid
Speaker 2: of Rusty. I think it lasted like one season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, co let me ask you, can you think of
Speaker 1: I have one that's on my mind. Can you think
Speaker 1: of something else that was so terrible they got rid
Speaker 1: of it in.
Speaker 2: This Yeah, the flagpole in Houston. No, that was the weakest.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that like really gross statue in Florida in.
Speaker 3: Miami with the Flamingos.
Speaker 4: They had some artistic to something going on in the field.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, the signature look is I think
Speaker 2: a part of the game that we all cherish, and
Speaker 2: I think that's part of why we love it. Mike,
Speaker 2: who runs this place, who's also getting ready for our
Speaker 2: big Vegas adventure. He's bringing a bunch of prizes down
Speaker 2: there for us, he says. Kirk Gibson's home run was
Speaker 2: the historical moment for him. He said, you know, he
Speaker 2: always admired the lou Gerrick speech too and what that
Speaker 2: meant for baseball, But Gibson's home run was just a
Speaker 2: classic moment for him. Back to your phone calls on
Speaker 2: the anniversary of Baseball invented on this day, eighteen forty six,
Speaker 2: what were some of the most important historical moments in
Speaker 2: the game or maybe just you personally, Tom and Florida.
Speaker 3: You're on the show.
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, you know, I'm a Braves fan since the
Speaker 10: early seventies. I was eight years old when I hit
Speaker 10: the home run. But that's not it. I've seen them
Speaker 10: win the World Series in ninety five and twenty twenty one.
Speaker 10: But that's not it. The powder Blue Braves, the disgusting
Speaker 10: Braves of the late seventies and eighties. It couldn't win anything.
Speaker 10: And then Sid Bream in nineteen ninety one beats the
Speaker 10: throw from the greatest player in the game at the time,
Speaker 10: Barry Bonds. Braves win, Braves, win Braves, win from worse
Speaker 10: to first. That to me was the moment that I'll
Speaker 10: always cherish.
Speaker 2: I love that, and I love the excitement in your voice.
Speaker 2: I love the story. And then my mind starts to
Speaker 2: trail off because baseball means a lot to all of us, right,
Speaker 2: we all grew up loving it. And it gets me
Speaker 2: thinking this would be a controversial one, Rich, but you
Speaker 2: don't think the steroid era, for as bad as it
Speaker 2: was for baseball, brought so much excitement for baseball.
Speaker 3: Like Sosa and McGuire gup punching each other.
Speaker 5: That summer was unforgettable, dude, Am I right that any
Speaker 5: network channel they would break into, they would break out
Speaker 5: of whatever they were covering at the time, whether it
Speaker 5: was the news or whatever was going on, and they
Speaker 5: would show the at bat for McGuire or so.
Speaker 2: So that's why it's so hypocritical to hold it against
Speaker 2: these players because everybody was pumped about it, And if
Speaker 2: you were a little kid, like I wasn't a little kid,
Speaker 2: but if you I was in college in the mid nineties,
Speaker 2: late nineties.
Speaker 3: I graduated college in ninety eight.
Speaker 2: So if you're a little kid and you're watching Sosa
Speaker 2: and McGuire and guys like Rafael Paul Merrow just slugging away,
Speaker 2: hitting bombs all the time, you don't think that was
Speaker 2: important in their life and reeled them into the game. Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I get it detrimental to stats into the game and
Speaker 2: the reputation, but if that's what pulled you in and
Speaker 2: you've been a lifelong fan since, was it really that bad?
Speaker 3: I don't know something to think about.
Speaker 4: I I thought of a couple other fun ones. Nolan
Speaker 4: Ryan Robin.
Speaker 3: Ventura historical moment, for sure, just like one.
Speaker 4: Of those, like those are the fun moment you'll never forget.
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, yeah, it's definitely a moment you'll never forget.
Speaker 2: I don't know remember how important it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if it's well, I mean you can
Speaker 1: also throw it like Don Zimmer and Pedro. That fight
Speaker 1: was legendary and just added to the Yankees Red Sox feud.
Speaker 1: There's just all these memorable moments, Mike Piazza and Clemens
Speaker 1: throwing the bat at him.
Speaker 4: There's so many rens will say magical moments.
Speaker 2: Mike Piazza bringing life back to normal after nine to
Speaker 2: eleven with that Bomby hit.
Speaker 3: That was a majestic moment.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think about some of the manias, like Doc goodin
Speaker 5: coming to the league, and of course Fernando Mania in
Speaker 5: Southern California kind of healed what had happened with Chavez,
Speaker 5: Ravine and Mexican Americans being moved out of there for
Speaker 5: the stadium to be built, and a lot of them
Speaker 5: didn't embrace the team until Fernando and all of that happened.
Speaker 2: For you know what Fernando Venezuela and what he meant
Speaker 2: to the Latino community embracing baseball. You're right in Mexicans
Speaker 2: embracing the Dodgers. Dude, that's insane the impact that he
Speaker 2: had in this city with the Dodgers so important moments too.
Speaker 2: Back to the calls.
Speaker 1: Do you remember, Cavino, when you were a kid, you
Speaker 1: told me you went to a game. Were you on
Speaker 1: the West Coast. You went to an Angels game and
Speaker 1: you were there when Reggie Jackson tried to kill the Queen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll never forget it. It was wild, dude.
Speaker 4: Thank god for Lieutenant Fred Rubin, right.
Speaker 3: I was a historical moment.
Speaker 2: Thanks Frank, Jamie and Georgia. You're on the Cavino and
Speaker 2: Rich Show. Historical or oh.
Speaker 10: My thunder just a second ago from Florida, but it
Speaker 10: was Sid rings slide, but it was nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yah ye.
Speaker 2: Oh really okay, Jamie cleaning up his work, you know,
Speaker 2: a Braves fans coming. I love going thro these phone
Speaker 2: calls because then my mind wanders and I start thinking
Speaker 2: of other stuff.
Speaker 3: Appreciate you.
Speaker 4: You think about Sid, you would think about Sid breams mustache.
Speaker 2: No, I'm thinking about like, there's other moments that maybe
Speaker 2: not that historical, but we're seeing Buster Posey, you know,
Speaker 2: on the big stage press conferences talking about Raphael Devers
Speaker 2: and everything. Him getting mode over changed the game period
Speaker 2: as we know it, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: it's like, maybe not that historical, being that we've been
Speaker 2: watching baseball one hundred and eighty years, but what happened
Speaker 2: to him changed the game as we know it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I always think about that with your your Yankee pitcher,
Speaker 1: Joba Chamberlain. I remember him being the first pitcher that
Speaker 1: had a pitch count because he was coming off an
Speaker 1: injury job. I felt like, yeah, yeah, the Joba rules.
Speaker 1: And ever since that, I feel like that opened the
Speaker 1: floodgates to every pitching coach putting counts on their.
Speaker 2: Pitch Jaba rules, Joba Chamberain, significant Buster Posey, you know,
Speaker 2: barreling down catchers. That changed everything historical moment. These are
Speaker 2: things that we were able to witness in our lifetime,
Speaker 2: which make him actually a little cooler. Tom and Ioway,
Speaker 2: you're on the Coveno and Rich show.
Speaker 7: Hey, this is Tom. Hey.
Speaker 4: I tell you what.
Speaker 7: When I was a teenager to St.
Speaker 9: Louis to watch a game, and I'm a keV fan,
Speaker 9: so I loved it. Again, Dave Dingwin hit a great
Speaker 9: and slam off the Cardinals. That is pretty dad, Dave
Speaker 9: Kingman and he almost did it out of the stadiums.
Speaker 9: I said it was three and two first Stanning bass
Speaker 9: I said, they throw them at fastball, and they did.
Speaker 9: But of course my favorite time was when that comes
Speaker 9: won the World Series. But see and Kingman had that
Speaker 9: was before the he was he was king they called him,
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeoh, that guy hit like I only saw highlights. I
Speaker 1: was a little too young for Kingman, but he was
Speaker 1: a met when I was like a baby. Kingman was
Speaker 1: known to hit like moonshots, like I don't know if
Speaker 1: anyone else is synonymous as far as Homern hitters that
Speaker 1: would just hit like rocket high bombs.
Speaker 3: On this day, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: The fact that they came up with and they always
Speaker 2: say it in a Ken Burns documentary or when people
Speaker 2: are talking about the magic of baseball, just how perfect
Speaker 2: sixty feet six inches is.
Speaker 3: Right, like, yeah, that makes it so great.
Speaker 1: You're ninety feet from the distance like this, Like if
Speaker 1: it's a routine ground ball, you'll get him out. He'll
Speaker 1: never beat out of routine ground ball. However, if you
Speaker 1: bobble the ball a little bit.
Speaker 2: Safe, right, Like, all these things were so important to
Speaker 2: the game as we know it now. Perfection, And you
Speaker 2: mentioned Shoho Tani. The impact that we're gonna look back
Speaker 2: on is insane. It's immense when you think about how
Speaker 2: global he's made the game feel like it's always been there.
Speaker 2: We talked about Clemente's and when he's meant to Latino
Speaker 2: players and Hispanic players all over the globe. But the
Speaker 2: international feel that baseball is really bringing with Shohay and
Speaker 2: maybe even the decision rich of World Baseball Classic. One
Speaker 2: day we might look back and be like that was
Speaker 2: a historical moment because look how big the game is
Speaker 2: now internationally.
Speaker 1: Of course, right and by the way, as we talk
Speaker 1: about baseball in our favorite moments, and you know, doing
Speaker 1: a little reminiscing the other day, I think it was
Speaker 1: yesterday was National Mascot Day, and I gotta say baseball
Speaker 1: probably has the best mascots, right, Philly fanatic. I hate
Speaker 1: to say it because I love to hate on Philly,
Speaker 1: but the fanatic mister Met, mister redb. By the way,
Speaker 1: doesn't he look like mister Mets creepy uncle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he is. He's got the mustache. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's you.
Speaker 1: Know, Colorado the Dinosaur Digger. They got all these cool
Speaker 1: mascots throughout the league. So baseball's bringing it as it
Speaker 1: did one hundred and seventy nine years ago. And again
Speaker 1: the evolution, like you said, Cavino guys were they were
Speaker 1: like you, you gotta be tough, no helmets, no gloves, nothing,
Speaker 1: and now like five year old kids have sliding gloves exactly.
Speaker 2: So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. The
Speaker 2: most important important moments in baseball, Uh, Tony in Virginia,
Speaker 2: you're on it.
Speaker 12: I think President Bush throwing out that first pitch at
Speaker 12: Yankee Stadium in World Ferries right after ninety eleven. I
Speaker 12: think that galvanized dude.
Speaker 3: That was imagic, bitch man.
Speaker 2: It was definitely the best and most impactful. And then
Speaker 2: I'd put the queen when she threw the screw ball,
Speaker 2: screwball Queen right underneath it. But yeah, that was an
Speaker 2: awesome moment.
Speaker 4: He brings up a great.
Speaker 1: Point that made the I know it's ridiculous because it's
Speaker 1: just a pitch, but it made America feel strong. And
Speaker 1: imagine if George W. Bush would have threw like a
Speaker 1: Baba booie first pitch in that moment.
Speaker 3: No, and I love that.
Speaker 2: No, but remember the story goes Jeeter tells him like,
Speaker 2: don't bounce it, Like I love that story, and that
Speaker 2: was told by George Bush, like that really happened. It's
Speaker 2: a great call, it's a great story. It's a great
Speaker 2: moment for sure. Let's talk to Pierce in Albny. Pierce,
Speaker 2: you're on the show.
Speaker 16: All right, Well, the president throwing out the nine to
Speaker 16: eleven one kind of Trump's me there. But I gotta
Speaker 16: say as a Mets fan and you already talked to
Speaker 16: Mike Piazza also saving America post nine to eleven. Yeah,
Speaker 16: but Robin venture a Grand Slam single.
Speaker 4: That was a cool moment.
Speaker 2: That was a cool moment, absolutely, And you know, like
Speaker 2: if you're a little kid watching too, in that moment,
Speaker 2: that could have changed your life. That's the other thing
Speaker 2: about it. Like we've seen a lot of great moments
Speaker 2: at this stage, but for kids too, they stand out.
Speaker 2: McKinney in Ohio, what's up, Danny?
Speaker 5: Oh, I was just gonna say, I was thinking of
Speaker 5: some of the records that we've seen broken and I
Speaker 5: was in the Bay Area in nineteen ninety one. How
Speaker 5: about Ricky Henderson holding the bag over his head that we.
Speaker 3: Just saw in fifty to fifty. It's never been done.
Speaker 4: It just dawned on me recently. I forgot.
Speaker 1: I honestly, I forgot that we lost Ricky, Like it's
Speaker 1: it's crazy to think he's gone crazy.
Speaker 3: Uh, McKinney and Ohio, Oh dB, what's up buddy?
Speaker 8: Just along those same lines, remember when that guy from
Speaker 8: Fresnel called in and started started the Reggie Jackson chant
Speaker 8: at the A's game.
Speaker 17: Do you remember that? That's right, that guy that called
Speaker 17: in from Fresno. Yes, what of great moments is that
Speaker 17: Danny G's brother. I don't think Danny G My brother,
Speaker 17: my brother started the chant.
Speaker 5: That guy in Fresne claimed it, Fresne.
Speaker 2: That's right, he started. That's right, man, historical moment. Thank you,
Speaker 2: Dan McKinnie and Ohio. You're on the Cavino and Rich
Speaker 2: show man.
Speaker 7: You know what.
Speaker 6: I love you guys, show man. I don't think I
Speaker 6: would like it at first, but man, I don't. I
Speaker 6: don't miss you.
Speaker 3: Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now I'm watching the two new Bald Eagles fish in
Speaker 6: the in the Great Miami River while I'm walking with
Speaker 6: my dog listening to you guys. My favorite my favorite
Speaker 6: baseball moment has to do with Crosley Field and they're
Speaker 6: Floatt outfield. I love that, the Pete Rose thing with
Speaker 6: him and the nineteen seventy six World Series parade. I
Speaker 6: know you goys, East Coast West coast, but in the
Speaker 6: Midwest maybe that's where it's at.
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, a lot of people haven't experienced the World
Speaker 2: Series parade, but once you do, and if you do
Speaker 2: it at the right time in your life, that's magical, man,
Speaker 2: and you'll never forget it. My first one was that
Speaker 2: I was able to go to as an adult quote
Speaker 2: unquote adult was in ninety six, and I'll never forget it.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys, a lot of the eighty six
Speaker 1: Mets never experienced a parade.
Speaker 2: Cocaine exactly exactly. I want to thank you off for
Speaker 2: your phone calls. Hit us up at Covino and Rich
Speaker 2: we got to get to Dan Byer with an update.
Speaker 8: I do want to say baseball as well, and it
Speaker 8: feels like it was in our era, but it's been
Speaker 8: forever where cheating was not only allowed, but it was
Speaker 8: captured of, whether it be corked bats, whether it be uh,
Speaker 8: you know, many rubber balls in baseball bats, whether it
Speaker 8: be fingernail files like all of that. Like it's you
Speaker 8: don't see anybody nobody gets busted in the NBA for cheating, right, Yeah,
Speaker 8: But I mean.
Speaker 1: I always picture it was which necro brother had the
Speaker 1: file in his back pocket.
Speaker 4: He threw it out, remember that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, gosh, it was one of them, and I've
Speaker 8: forgot I don't want to accuse the other of doing it,
Speaker 8: but I.
Speaker 3: Think it was filmed. But again, it could be joking.
Speaker 8: And then all this, oh oh, this my fingernail file,
Speaker 8: all this whole thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 8: There is some history made today in Major League Baseball
Speaker 8: in Texas. It's your two pitch tackleon hits it high
Speaker 8: in the air, deep right center.
Speaker 3: Fee the only scar sears.
Speaker 6: At the wall.
Speaker 8: It's gone, watch and fly Chick Kagle his first pig
Speaker 8: league home run. Maybe you get moments like that in
Speaker 8: the NFL, like first touchdown pass or first touchdown catch,
Speaker 8: but you don't get that necessarily in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Stunt.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, he had another one later. Royal sweep the
Speaker 8: Rangers today buy a score of four to one on
Speaker 8: the Royals radio network, And I just want to congratulate
Speaker 8: you guys on your twenty years. I will not be
Speaker 8: in Vegas with you, but I will be here tomorrow.
Speaker 8: I'll be on the show, but I know it's going
Speaker 8: to be crazy. But congratulations on the two decades of
Speaker 8: radio partnership and success.
Speaker 3: You believe that.
Speaker 2: That's one hundred and twenty years in radio years, I
Speaker 2: have not had one person ask me, are you going
Speaker 2: to Vegas?
Speaker 8: And I don't know if it's they don't want me
Speaker 8: to go or they just knew that it probably was
Speaker 8: never going to happen. But that one person questioned to
Speaker 8: me and saying, oh, are you going to be making it?
Speaker 2: And I just so you know, let me give you
Speaker 2: an honest response there too. And I do this a lot.
Speaker 2: I don't like putting pressure on people. I just don't,
Speaker 2: you know, So for me personally, it's like, Hey, everybody's invited.
Speaker 3: I don't like the pressure.
Speaker 1: My assumption is that you have a little son, and
Speaker 1: when we're away, you're you're You're the number one guy
Speaker 1: they have always filling in and doing all the shows
Speaker 1: around Fox Sports. And one of our coworkers has a
Speaker 1: wedding on Saturday, so I just thought, it's a busy.
Speaker 3: Week about me, right, you know?
Speaker 2: But thank you, thank you Dan. Yeah, we couldn't do
Speaker 2: this without you, so we appreciate it. Thank you, Dan, Byern,
Speaker 2: thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation. The rest of your
Speaker 2: feedback at Covino and Rich start thinking about rings Do
Speaker 2: they matter or do they not? There's two conflicting stories
Speaker 2: from two teammates. Do rings matter or not that.
Speaker 1: When you ask your rings matter or not, historically people
Speaker 1: say that's how you remember your champion chips, your rings.
Speaker 1: And just the other day Lebron we talked about it.
Speaker 1: He's like, yo, rings don't matter, and we goofed on
Speaker 1: him a little bit. But a day later, Lakers get
Speaker 1: sold and the first thing Luca says his teammate, the
Speaker 1: first thing he says is all right, sweet, this is great.
Speaker 4: Now, let's go win some rings.
Speaker 2: He says, he's super pumped about the Lakers sale and
Speaker 2: let's go win some rings now. So it's like his
Speaker 2: own teammate, you have conflicting views on the importance of
Speaker 2: rings on the team. It's so weird to see this conflict.
Speaker 2: And on the same day, Rich Yeah, Danny g. Sam
Speaker 2: Kelsey is quoted today that he's only interested in Super
Speaker 2: Bowl rings, like his whole purpose in coming back is
Speaker 2: winning a ring. He wants number four because that solidifies
Speaker 2: your legacy in a game of wins and losses and championship.
Speaker 5: Feels like two different thoughts, though, because Lebron was pointing
Speaker 5: out that there's some NBA players that he really respects
Speaker 5: and thinks are greats and legends, despite the fact they
Speaker 5: never want a ring. I don't think he's gonna be
Speaker 5: saying I don't care what happens this season. Hopefully he's
Speaker 5: still gonna be saying the same thing. Luca just said,
Speaker 5: let's go win one.
Speaker 2: I'm not ever gonna deny the heart of a Lebron James.
Speaker 2: Who am I some JABRONI in the studio talking about him.
Speaker 2: I get it, I'm a fan, but it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: It just doesn't. It just caters to his current narrative
Speaker 2: because he's not gonna have as many rings as Jordan
Speaker 2: most likely, so he's trying to downplay the importance.
Speaker 3: That's honestly what I take out of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can still be a really great player without one,
Speaker 2: but you're not held in that same company. And Charles
Speaker 2: Barkley's always that example, or Dan Reno's always the same.
Speaker 2: People like really great players, but greatness is also measured
Speaker 2: in how many championships you won, so I think it
Speaker 2: always matters. So on the very next day, that's what's
Speaker 2: ironic about it, Where Luca gets the news that the
Speaker 2: team was sold in its valued at ten million dollars
Speaker 2: or whatever. I'm pumped. Let's go win some rings. That
Speaker 2: just sounds so odd. So do they matter or not?
Speaker 2: They absolutely matter? Is there any debate? Sure you could
Speaker 2: be great, but you even greater with a ring. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no question that they matter. But in what context?
Speaker 2: You have to point out what Lebron was saying? Now,
Speaker 2: I get you, and some other people are gonna say, well,
Speaker 2: this is just because of the Michael Jordan factor. But
Speaker 2: if you really listen to what he was saying, I
Speaker 2: think you kind of get the drift, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying too. So it's just ironic
Speaker 2: that the very next day Lucas said the exact operation.
Speaker 5: And we said on the show yesterday with the new
Speaker 5: Guggenheimen group coming in that they're not really gonna be
Speaker 5: in place around Lebron, He's probably gonna be out of there.
Speaker 5: They're gonna be building around Luca.
Speaker 2: And speaking of watches and rings, I always had this
Speaker 2: theory that if you were ever gonna buy an engagement ring,
Speaker 2: your fiance should buy you a sweet watch. What do
Speaker 2: you think about that don't you think there you should
Speaker 2: get something in return. That's always been my theory.
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm fighting for the guy in this. I want a
Speaker 3: nice watch. Yeah. The men's rings always stink.
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly right. So anyway, guys, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for hanging out with us. Over promised on Fox
Speaker 2: Sports Radio's YouTube page. We do it next, a Rivederci baby,
Speaker 2: see you in the promising, see you in Vegas.
Speaker 3: Let's go, Yes,
