Speaker 2: for throughout the week, but stuff we wanted to get.

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Are there some dumb shit that I feel is better visually?

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: So hey, let's do it on the YouTube page for

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Let the Wild Rumpus start as your

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: favorite book. Last book I read Where the Wild Things Are?

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: So speaking of wild things, Ryan Garcia in the news again,

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about athletes who retired came back a

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: little bit. We're gonna talk about funny sports accessories, some

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: of them due to injury, which is not funny, but

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: stay with us. Okay, but you know what I saw

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: that today was the birthday? Hello legend? Is it me

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: you're looking for? Is that why you were dancing on

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: the ceiling? That was littel Ritchie? What a feeling? Who

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I feel like? Is such a freaking g if you

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: watch that documentary about We Are in the World. It

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: gave even more respect for him and what a power

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: player he was. But it reminded me that this old

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 1: school Littel Richie is not the one young people know today.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: So I've thought about this. There are certain stars that

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: people are clueless to the history.

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: Well again, people forget what made them dominant or what

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: actually made them famous because they've lasted long enough to

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: have second life in different careers and they grew old,

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: so you don't remember. I call this the first base

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: coach or third base coach theory. Growing up as a kid,

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: we had the inability to realize that the third base

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: coaches of our favorite.

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Teams were actually dominant at one point. You're like that

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: old guy. That old guy played baseball in the way

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: I remember it talk to me as a little boy

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: grown up in New York. Yeah, wait a minute, you're

39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: tell me Davey Johnson, the manager of the Mets, used

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: to play exactly. Yeah.

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: So a lot of young people today had the inability

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: to understand that, Hey, Lionel Richie, the judge, you know

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: him as the judge who wears cool jackets on American Idol.

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was in the Commodoores. He ran the eighties.

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: He had hit after hit after hit.

46
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that dude's a music legend, like the Judge, right, Like, yeah,

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: the Judge.

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: But let's there a story where your girlfriend didn't know

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Valerie Burtonelly wasn't just a food network person. She doesn't

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: know her as the you know, eighties.

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: I would say she was a pin up girl that sorts,

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: you know, married to Eddie Van Halen one day at

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: a time. Everybody loved Valerie Burtonelli. Look, sometimes my girlfriend's

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: a little younger than me, Like I know the hard

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: time no Belichick, No, yeah, no Belichick. I have a

56
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: hard time explaining to her how dominant Shaquille O'Neil was.

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: She just knows him like as the icy hot, funny commentator.

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: I'll be he's gigantic. She knows he played basketball, but

59
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: now she doesn't know how dominant he was. Or when

60
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: I try to tell her about OJ, she's like, yeah,

61
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: you know, I know the OJ story. I'm like, yeah,

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: but you don't understand it was the biggest, you know,

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: most loved athlete, right.

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: But we came up with some other ones that I

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: think perhaps the younger generation might not realize their previous life.

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: And you know, you said Jack Charles Barkley because he's funny,

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: because he's got through his chubby ups and downs. I

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: think young people don't realize in his prime, no one

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: was better. He took Michael Jordan to Game six and

70
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: should have been Game seven on the Suns. In the

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Sixers days, he was even more trim, and you know,

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: he was an MVP. I think people don't realize that

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Barkley because he's a funny broadcaster. And again he's not

74
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: in the best shape anymore. He goes up and down.

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: It's dominant, and it's also how not serious he takes

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: himself nowadays. Right of course, it's almost like, really he

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: was that dominant. I know he played, I thought he

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: was good. I didn't realize how dominant he was. No,

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: he was the man. He still is the man, just

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: a different man who most young people know as a broadcaster.

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: And I think they're getting reminded to on that new

82
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: David Letterman special on Netflix because they go through his

83
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: history everything.

84
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: The Barkley episode fantastic. Now I'm guilty of this, so

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: I'll be straight up real with you, freaking guilty. I

86
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: don't know very much about Howie Mandel when he came

87
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: out on Dealer, No Deal, always a German fhobe, all

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: the Hawk girl's fist bumping, and now he's on X

89
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Factor as a judge. I'm like, Howie Mandel, I knew

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: he was involved, but I forgot that the Howie Mandel

91
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: we all know judging on AGT and all these talent shows.

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I forgot he was the voice in Bobby's world, and

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: forget that he was a successful comic.

94
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: He was on every late night show. He was an

95
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: eighties comedian. I think because he looks so different with

96
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: the bald he people get confused. They're like, is that

97
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: the lead singer of Disturbed? No, No, that's Howie Mandel.

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: Wait, that's not David Dramond. It's not David Draymond.

99
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: He just used to have that Jerry curl, and people forget, like, yeah,

100
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: he used to look like Jeff Goldbloom back in the

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: day with that hair.

102
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Dude, he was a goofy.

103
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: When I see goofy, rich like a really goofy eighties

104
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: comedian used to wear suspenders like Robin Williams. He would

105
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: stare at the audience and be like what what like?

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: He was nothing like the Howie Mandel you know.

107
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: Now, What's what's funny about that is I think Bobby's

108
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: world and I don't even know I was that a

109
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: little too young for you? No, I remember Bobby's He

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: was also the voice of Skeeter or Scooter on Muppet Bass.

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Howie Mandel's got a history. Another one. You

112
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: may say, Nah, Rich, you're full of shit on this one.

113
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think he's such just a famous

114
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: name that I bet you younger people if you asked,

115
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: like some of the editors at Fox Sports Radio that

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: are twenty something, or you know, maybe if he got

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: teenage kids. I don't know if they know that Arnold

118
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: was mister Olympia. I think they know he was a

119
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: famous actor, action hero, politician. I don't know if they

120
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: realized he was an Austrian guy who came to the

121
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: United States and was mister Olympia.

122
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: They don't realize how massive and dominant he was in

123
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: a time of girly man. You know, he was pumping

124
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: everybody up. I don't think they realized how many lives

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: he lived, how many obstacles he overcame to be the

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: governator and be the legend we know today.

127
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: They definitely know.

128
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: I think a little more about him because he's so

129
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: mega famous.

130
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Terminator, action star. Yes, I don't think younger people recognize that.

131
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: The way he even got there was he was the

132
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: face of like weightlifting for a generation.

133
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: Attribute that to longevity, man, you know, and perseverance. The

134
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: guy dominated everything he was a part of. For me

135
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: growing up, that was like Ronald Reagan. I knew he

136
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: was an actor, but I'm like, well, how big of

137
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: an actor was Donald Reagan? Yeah, the act Yeah, I

138
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: knew he was an actor, but I may have seen

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: him in a Cowboy had a few times in a

140
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: few movies, but I really didn't know how big of

141
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: an act because we didn't live it.

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: I love your theory that it's the baseball coach theory

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: growing up because all the players, whether it's Lou Panella,

144
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: Billy Martin, Sparky Anderson, all Lesorda, all these guys that

145
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: we watched growing up, we had no clue that they

146
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: existed as players before.

147
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: And even if we did, we didn't know how dominant

148
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: they really were because we didn't live it. We just

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: knew them as whatever we saw them as today, and

150
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: you said there was a recent one that I find

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: to be absurd.

152
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Right, Well, it's a it's a story that was hot

153
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: this week and luckily no one got hurt. But he's

154
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: getting a lot of shit for a Justin Timberlake who

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: got pulled over for a DWI out in the Hampton's

156
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Long Islands. The cop that pulled him over. I'm not

157
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: saying he tried to pull a do you know who

158
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: I am? But apparently there was no name recognition, Like

159
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: the cop that pulled them up was like, yeah, yeah,

160
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: your ID, please, are Justin Timberlake, get in the car.

161
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Didn't realized was the cop Apparently, Well, cinently, the cop

162
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: was fresh out of the Academy twenty something and was like, yeah,

163
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't know Timberlake. And you think about it that

164
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: you're popular twenty something years ago. That younger he doesn't

165
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: know that Timberlake. He doesn't know the ram and noodle

166
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: head Timberlake, O Vin sink. So younger people are gonna

167
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: only know Timberlake as the outlaw? Is that what you're

168
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: telling about the DWA guy that does solo stuff once

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: in a while. Yeah, that's insane. That just means you're

170
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: getting old. He's a sexy back guy from the two thousands.

171
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: Uh So again people that we forget how dominant they

172
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: were in their previous life or occupation, We forget what

173
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,479
Speaker 2: actually made them famous.

174
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: There you go.

175
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: We want to add to the list. At Covino and

176
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now a global superstar. Unfortunately

177
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: fractured his nose does not need additional surgery, which is good.

178
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: But he's got to wear that silly mask. And I'm talking.

179
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: About football soccer superstar and Bop Bank. I thought it

180
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: was your dad's resputant mask. Now he did rock that

181
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: for years. But in Bope has to wear the silly

182
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: sports mask. And I got it's an injury, not a

183
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: terrible injury, but you know, just for safety. And Bope

184
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: with that mask just gets us thinking about how aren't

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: they calling him mask Pope or something. I've seen headlines

186
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: mask that's so stupid.

187
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: That one's a little different, though it's a little different

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: than the ones we've seen in the NBA.

189
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I always think of Lebron when he was on the

190
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: Heat and he tried to look all like dark night. Yeah,

191
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: Lebron was like, they look at all badass.

192
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was shooting for that or

193
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: if that's just what we thought, but I remember that too.

194
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: And of course you see the clear ones, A Dark Knight,

195
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, I believe War one.

196
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, the mask.

197
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: So that brings us to based on mask Pope and Bope,

198
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: the mask that sweeping the international soccer circuit, fun sports accessories. Now,

199
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: nothing funny about the injuries that may have led to him,

200
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: but we remember a lot of these and growing up,

201
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: I always wondered, and I'll give you the backstory too.

202
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: I always wondered why John Olrud wore a helmet in

203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: the field. He had an aneurism early on in his life,

204
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: so it was just anneurism protection basically, but he always

205
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: wore that helmet in the field. But he was the

206
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: only guy. Oh yeah, I don't remember any other guy.

207
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: And it wasn't the ones with the ear flaps. It

208
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: was like the ones you would get on free helmet day.

209
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, no flap flap that I call that the Keith

210
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Hernandez Yeah, was there a yeck that you can think of?

211
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: That?

212
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: For the Mets and Cardinals, Keith never wore the flap.

213
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Well, I mean in the eighties, A lot of dudes

214
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: at the flap I don't think was even available, never

215
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: wore the flap. Yeah, it was just helmet. So John

216
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: Olrud comes to mind when I think of helmet. But

217
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: when I think of extra ultra protective helmets, I think

218
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: of Eli Manning's bulb A's helmet, but I think of

219
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: the David Wright.

220
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: May the Schwartz be with you helmet. I mean that

221
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: is absurd. I mean he was coming off getting hit

222
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: in the head by a pitch, and you remember that

223
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: did take him out for a while. We're going back,

224
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years now, but I remember were David

225
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: right number five came back with that monstrosity on his

226
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: head and people did get a laugh about it in

227
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: the New York area, because listen, we love David Wright.

228
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: It was an injury, but like this, give kidding me?

229
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: What's that? Honestly, I like Rick Moranison spaceballs.

230
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: It was giant and you'll see other pictures where it

231
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: just looks ridiculous. But again, for protection protective reasons.

232
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: I get it.

233
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: We get it, and that's why we have to adjust

234
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: our eyes for football season this coming season, because, as

235
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna be wearing those Guardian caps.

236
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a David Wright. Oh no, that's Rick moranis

237
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: my bad? There you go.

238
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: And by the way, they're doing a new spaceball so

239
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: you know that Josh with Josh gadd side note. So yeah,

240
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: now moving forward again, nothing funny about concussions CTE injuries.

241
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: But these Guardian caps are a little interesting. It's gonna

242
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: take an adjustment. We're going it's gonna be an eye adjustment.

243
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: But they're they're gonna design them with the team logos

244
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: on them and not going to look as ridiculous. But

245
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: when guys are coming out of concussion protocol, they're gonna

246
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: have the option to actually wear these cushy looking helmets

247
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: over their other helmet on the field in a regular game.

248
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: In a regular game. So get used to that. You'll

249
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: see that a few times this year. I'm sure.

250
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: Now again with funny sports successories. I don't know why

251
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: this was funny. You know why, because we grew up

252
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: in the eighties where if you wore glasses, you were

253
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: a nerd, right I was.

254
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: There was just a lot of there was a lot

255
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: of nerd, nerd herd. There's a lot of nerd talk.

256
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: You Nerd, Revenge of the Nerds, and anytime a kid

257
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: wore glasses on the baseball field with those croakies especially,

258
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: I did you wore those, like, dude, I wear contact

259
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: c linses.

260
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: I wore kid. I didn't have braces to your nerd,

261
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: I did. I did not have the crisabos if you

262
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: want to take a look at the I did not

263
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: have the sabos you have.

264
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: But any kid that wore glasses, regardless where they were

265
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: called Crissabo.

266
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yo. And I played third base too, so there

267
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: you go. But I had my glasses with that shitty

268
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: little strap around the back round. Yeah, those croaky straps

269
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: whatever strap, it was a tight strap, like a just

270
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: to make sure my glasses didn't fall off my face.

271
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: I looked more like Kurt Rambus in the eighties. That's

272
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: the thing.

273
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: If you played baseball glasses, you were Sabo, But if

274
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: you played basketball glasses, you were Rich Davis or yeah,

275
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: Kurt Ramba. But it's the mustache that might be me

276
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: so funny. Yeah, that's rich right there.

277
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: In the eighties. You had a mullet too, right, I

278
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: did honestly cover that mustache.

279
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,479
Speaker 2: That's uh that now when it comes to funny sports accessories.

280
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw it back. Everybody remembers in little league

281
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: when we had to start wearing those plastic masks.

282
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: I did not.

283
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: You never wear a mask, no, no, no, no on your

284
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: on your batting helmet. No, never a face guard.

285
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: No. What. Well in my hometown of Union, you know,

286
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: I guess I'm kid in your town. Got hit and then.

287
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Buddy Barnando broke his jawn Little League took a pitch

288
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: to the face. So we all had to wear those

289
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: protective not like a face mask, it was just a

290
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: plastic My bar went across your mouth, My daughter.

291
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: All the kids that play in the Little League, in

292
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: the girls softball, they have to wear fielding masks too.

293
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah I've seen those until they're eight, I believe. But yeah, no,

294
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: it's all for safety. But are you thinking of John Carlo?

295
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of he was even was he Mike Stanton

296
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: at the time, The artist formerly known as Mike Jean

297
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: Carlo Stanton had that really elaborate, wiry metal face mask

298
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: for a while when he played in Miami, and if

299
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: you remember, the face mask spells out a G for

300
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: Jean Carlo, So clearly he's not mic in this picture anymore.

301
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: But John Carlo had that, and what it did Cavino

302
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: was paved the way for I don't know nine out

303
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: of ten players now where a little extension over the.

304
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: Jaw absolutely just snaps onto the helmet is right there.

305
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: And hey, if it gives a batter more confidence a

306
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: step closer into the box against guys who are throwing

307
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and five miles per hour, high and tight.

308
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: You saw Aaron Judge just this week.

309
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts out for the season most likely, you know,

310
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: if it makes them safe.

311
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: And comfort in the batters box, I get it.

312
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: But when we first saw that Sean Carlos Stanton thing,

313
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: You're like, WHOA, what the hell is that about?

314
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: But when it comes to sports successories, I think we're

315
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: leaving off the most important one, which one now, I

316
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: don't want to make light of it, because he was

317
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: recovering from a major neck injury. Oh Bobby, the brain heenon.

318
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: That was legendary. Yeah, yeah, and he really milked that.

319
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if he milked it, Richard, Was he

320
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: really that injured where he wore that?

321
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Listen, the hulksture probably threw him through a table. Maybe

322
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: he got attacked by the British Bulldogs for all I know.

323
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: But Bobby Heenon, as they called him, the weasel, Yeah,

324
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: one of the best.

325
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: I mean, if he was being a weasel in this moment,

326
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: or if he was just really that hurt all the time.

327
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: But legendary yet funny.

328
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's legendary because anytime I see someone with

329
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: a neck brace, I think is Bobby brain heen over there.

330
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: So when I see someone with a cast I'm like,

331
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: all right, cowboy, Bob Orton, Now if you want to

332
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: add to the list again or chime in?

333
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: Or did we forget somebody at Covino and Rich funny

334
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: sports successories, and that brings us to our final discussion. Yeah,

335
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: time flies and having fun on overcroping a little over promise. Look,

336
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: Ryan Garcia, the boxer, he's just been going through a lot,

337
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: right Let me just post this tweet or let me

338
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: just tell you about this tweet he posted. He wrote recently,

339
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: my mom has cancer. Nothing funny about That's horrible. I'm

340
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: being sued my supplements were tainted. I'm going through a divorce.

341
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Always getting shit talked on the internet for years. Devin

342
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: Haney asking for my victory to be taken away, getting

343
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: hit with everything. Still love God, he is everything. So

344
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: when he announces his retirement on social media, I'm taking

345
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: it kind of like, well, he's just going through.

346
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: A lot, and I'm not really buying it.

347
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: He tweets out a lot of nonsense and how many athletes,

348
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: how many fighters especially, have we seen announce retirement and

349
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: then come out of retirement a lot.

350
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Of times in the world of fighting, it's a tactic

351
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: to get more money. Now, Ryan Garcia is an interesting cat.

352
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: I still think it's not real. He's too young and talented.

353
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: He's not gonna walk away, but I could see him

354
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: taking a break to settle what's going on in his

355
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: life though.

356
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: You know, it might be a good time for him

357
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: to step out of the spotlight, but he's not really.

358
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, a report from Boxing disclosed that the

359
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: New York Commission is scheduled to deliberate on Garcia's punishment

360
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 2: for his ped violations. As you guys know, from the

361
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: tainted supplements, they tested the supplements. It was the supplements

362
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: that were tainted for was it called again? Don't ask

363
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: Messene Glyseren And he announced his retirement as a result.

364
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: I'm not buying that much into it. But again, we've

365
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: seen this before, like Rich said, especially in boxing.

366
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: Also on wrestling. I remember anytime there was a retirement match. Yeah,

367
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, macho Man against Rick Flair retirement match, thinking

368
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: of yourself. Come on, in a month, they'll have a

369
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: Jack Tunney or you know, come back and say, uh,

370
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, lifted, Macho Man can fight again.

371
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 2: Like some of the most famous that come to mind.

372
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: George Foreman retired for ten years and then came back.

373
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: I remember this kind of like the same George Foreman.

374
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

375
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, we can talk about George Foreman

376
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: from the previous conversation. Most young people know him as

377
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: the grill guy. That's the same guy, same dudey. He

378
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: was fighting Muhammad Ali back then. Muhammad Ali also retired

379
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: and came back. Sugar Ray Leonard retired. I think five times, dude,

380
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: five times do.

381
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: You think it's is it all tactic or is it

382
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: away of the moment, like I'm done, And then you're like,

383
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm not really dumb that is you know what it's like.

384
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: It's like, give her in a relationship with a girl

385
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: that cries break up. Yeah, like, anytime you get in

386
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: a fight, this guy sells grills. Yeah, that's the guy

387
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: sells girls.

388
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: You mean to tell me the guy that sells the

389
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: grills the same guy as the boxer.

390
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Yes, but I think we've all been in a relationship

391
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: with a woman that's a little unhinged that every fight

392
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: is like, well maybe we should break up, and you

393
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: break up, get back together, break up, get back together, daddy. Two.

394
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: That's the equivalent of these retirements in sports. And there

395
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: was one that. I mean, there's two NFL quarterbacks that

396
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: come to mind, Brett Favre back and forth, Tom Brady. Uh,

397
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: you know there's still people that think Tom Brady could

398
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: play now and who knows, you know.

399
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: Again, back to Ryan Garcia, maybe he's just pulling a

400
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan. I believe he retired just to dip away

401
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: from the controversy, you know, and then came back. So

402
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: athletes retire, they come back. It happens all the time.

403
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: So what's Ryan Garcia gonna do now? He's saying he's

404
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: gonna dabble in acting and singing, and I advise him

405
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 2: not to because d la Hoya tried that and it

406
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: didn't work out.

407
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: Many Bonnie Poko is a great singer. I would say,

408
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I would say forget the singing. Ryan Garcia is a

409
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: handsome young dude and he is strong. So why not

410
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: be like some type of young action star. Maybe put

411
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: out a movie to try to get a deal with

412
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Netflix or something. I could see Ryan Garcia, with his

413
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: social media fame, doing something in that vein. But I

414
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: promise you this, he will fight again. He absolutely will

415
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: fight again.

416
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: So your thoughts on Ryan Garcia hit us up at

417
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: Covino and Rich at Steve Covino, at Rich Davis, and

418
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: of course all of us at Fox Sports Radio.

419
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, buddies, we'll see you guys back tomorrow on FSR.
