the daily less go super pumped about Game six. Tonight

We'll talk about that old school win fifty hits. We
do that every Thursday. We throw it back and reminisce
and get you involved. What's going on with you, Dicky
Doodle Davis?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You know, I'm trying to decide if this NBA Finals
needs an extension to Game seven? Is HELLI Burton gonna play?
Would you play? I know we're gonna dive into all
these angles, but I'm so intrigued to see what goes down.
You know, within an hour or so, right, a couple
hours from now.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Super pumped to just watch.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'll be packing up for Vegas while watching Game six,
so we'll dive into that. Plus rings, we gotta talk
about rings. Do they matter or do they not matter? Okay,
because I'm hearing all sorts of different things about rings,
and who.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Can I can I ask your girlfriend of six years?
Seven years?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I mean, why would you say that right before party?
She's gonna be Yeah, she's gonna be in Vegas with me?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Like can we?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So I've already made a few mistakes in Vegas. Dude,
I don't need to do that again. But no, of
course they matter in life, but do they matter in sports?
Because someone very prominent in the NBA said no. We
discussed that yesterday and then as of today, there's a
lot of other prominent people, teammates of Lebron that are
(02:27):
saying they matter a lot. So we'll dive into that.
We'll talk about watches today if we have time. But
let's get into this now. Game six okay, see okay,
see up three games to two.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
It's a must watch. Io, Sam, you're watching, Danny G's
got to be watching.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He's our resident NBA guru. You guys are tuning in
right one. And remember the Pacers don't lose very often
back to back.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
True.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And you know Sam's a little jaded because he's so
he's in that Caitlin Clark zone that nothing really compares
to him, and he is bringing the fire. I'm not
seeing many people in the NBA bringing the fire. She's
bringing you watching Sam, well, I saw I would.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Say, I'm looking at a picture of Kaitlyn Clark singing
Shinado O'Connor. Nothing compares to you.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Nothing compares to you, Mike and I Mike lingar the
guy who runs his place. We will be driving to
Vegas while the game is on, so we'll find it
on the radio or on streaming and we'll be listening
to that game.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, it's exciting, that's fun. So yeah, we got to
be tuned in because the Pacers need to win to
push a game seven.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
But the side story is, well, was that Halliburton playing
or not was a.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Game time decision?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But Shams is saying that he's probably gonna play, So
it's a matter of, well, we're gonna take his word
for it or not. But we'll find out soon and
we'll stay tuned with Dan Byer, who's got your updates?
All right, Danyg's on the phones at eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. But the question is this, would
you play? Do you think he should play? If you're
not one hundred percent? Do you go out and do
(04:03):
your best? Do you sit it out? Does it matter
because it's the NBA Finals? I think it does. But
I'll explain because I've always lived by this theory again.
Cavino en Rich eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Crceeve.
I always live by the theory of if I'm not
(04:24):
feeling close to one hundred percent, because especially at this age,
why are.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You ever really one hundred percent?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Every right, But if you're not close to one hundred percent,
maybe you sit it out because you're not bringing your best.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And then at that point, i mean your bad company.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Like, all right, let's say you had a hot date,
but on that night you had a big pimple on
your nose? Are you gonna feel that confident on that date?
And I know that's a lame example, but that's just
the example. Are you gonna feel your ultimate confidence on
that date? Are you gonna bring your ultimate best? Maybe
it's best to sit it out that night, and then
when you're feeling better, you bring it all the way
(05:00):
you deliver, You show that you're the man, and you
leave a great impression. So in life, sometimes I'm I'm
understanding if you sit it out because you're not feeling
that great, because sometimes you're just in your head because
you're not good company.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I mean, your example, while ridiculous, is a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I mean, hey, if it's a sore throw, whatever the
case may be, you got got a bad haircut, who cares?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Whatever is making you feel like ass.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
If you got a date with the woman in your dreams.
She finally said, yeah, let's get a drink, and you got,
as you said, a big pimple right on the tip
of your nose.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Are you gonna bring your best, especially if it's a
woman of your dreams, you want to take that chance
on that night. I want to see here when I'm
feeling my dopest, my sweetest, the closest to one hundred
percent that I am, or that I can.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
But it isn't a little isn't that a little bit
of a pee type of move to say I'm gonna
sit it out because I don't because I'm not feeling
a hunt oh percent. I always assume this, especially in
the NFL, Danny, I feel like you back me up
because every week when the injury reports come out, if
a guy on my team who I know is a baller,
if he can't play, I'm assuming, like, yo, he can't
(06:05):
play because these guys, you don't think they want to
push it right.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Yeah. And the other thing about Hollie is that he
is a facilitator. I love that word. And he's an
assist minded guy. He wants to pass the ball first.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, But is he really helping the team If he's
not one hundred percent, that's the question you need to
keep in mind. And that's my point in saying, in life,
are you really helping yourself? If you're going out, if
you're not feeling that great, maybe it's best to sit
it out. However, these are extreme circumstances. This is the
NBA Finals, this is do word die. Your team's got
to win. I think you need to show up in
(06:39):
this big moment. But think about it. Could he be
hurting the team by playing at fifty sixty percent?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
We don't know how hurt he is. And that's also
a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
How many times in life where stakes aren't as high,
you sit there and you deliberate on, man, should I
go to work? Should I not? Maybe I could push through,
I don't know. Should I go to the should I not?
Should I go on this date? Should I not? Because
you're just not feeling that great? Those decisions are hard enough,
you know in life. Imagine how he must feel knowing
that if he pushes it too hard, he might permanently
(07:13):
injure himself. And it's not a guarantee. When you're an investment. Nowadays,
you're not just a basketball player showing heart. What about
just emotionally lifting your team up the way Willis Reid
did for the Knicks. He limped out, He wasn't the
star of that game. A lot of people don't know
how that entire game played out. Legendary moment, different era though, too.
(07:33):
That's what we need to keep in mind. Of course,
we all want to see how Lei Burton get out there.
The old daniel Lewis is gonna fight. Everybody loves the
old daniel Lewis is gonna fight. It's a big surprise
to everybody, like, hell yeah, it is lifting. But it's
a different world we live in now where I don't know,
guys just don't play with that same amount of recklessness
and heart that they used to because they can't. I'm
(07:56):
not saying because they don't want to. I'm saying because
they can't because of the career trajectory and how much
is put on them investment wise.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
So play or not.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I feel like, perception wise, and for the team that
he's a leader of, for a guy that was doing
the Reggie Miller chokesymbol against the Knicks, for the guy
that's been making suit of why tracks with the media.
He's the type of guy that just his pure presence,
like yo, I'm gonna give it a go, is a
morale booster to Indiana. I feel like if he sits out,
(08:27):
which it doesn't seem like he will, he's going to
give it a go. But if he sits out tonight,
I feel like just like you're putting the vibe out
there that like it's over, Like Yo, he's not even
going to give it a go. Season's over.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Give it to Okay, we all want him to play,
there's no doubt about it, and it looks like he is.
But based on this, we just posed a question. Is
it always the best idea? And you know, let me
bring up Kevin Durant. Look what happened to him when
he wanted to push it and show that he was
the man. And you know, I want to be moral
(09:01):
support and lift a team and spirit and show that
I got heart and do it. It set him back
with a major injury. So it's not always the greatest thing.
And like you said, going on that date, Rich, when
you're not feeling that good, maybe you don't bring your
best and maybe she thinks you're laying for it and
you just see blocked yourself and your potential with that woman.
Maybe sometimes a little rest is okay, but again, NBA
(09:24):
Finals a much different story, especially a game six.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, I can't imagine if you're a baller and competitor,
you're gonna want to be out there, especially with your
team that you've taken it this far. You're at game six,
is Listen, there's only potentially one more game after this.
And I know you're saying you don't want to risk
major injury. But unless your damn leg is hanging off,
(09:48):
or your your shoulders like dislocated, and you can't shoot
a basketball unless something so dramatic is going on, I
think even perception wise, wheel them out or something, just
to get the theatrics go right. The game's in Indiana,
like get the crowd amped up, like there he is,
he's playing. Daniel Larruss is gonna fight, Like you.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Said, this takes me back to grade school. In fact, Rich,
when you'd have a little sore throat, your mom would
rub vis vis vapo rub on you. I mean she
rubbed it on me. I don't know if your mom
rubbed it on you.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
No, your mom rubbed it on me.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And she would say, sona Sana colitoa, and she would
give me some sucrets or chloroseptic, you know, throw back
Thursday sort of stuff. Louden's Pine Brothers ks and you're like,
I don't know if I can go to school, and
you sit it out. By the time Price's Right was on,
you realized at that point that you probably could have went,
(10:49):
and that was the worst feeling ever. I mean, I
love playing hooky and sitting out, but you know, if
you liked school, if you had a game that day,
or you didn't want to miss gym class, or you know,
you wanted to see the hot girl in school, you
did feel bad or feel guilty for not showing up
when midway through the day you realize you probably could have.
(11:09):
On the highest of levels, Halliburton has to be feeling, man,
if I don't go in, I'm always gonna regret it.
So that's probably why he's gonna push himself. And the
latest update, Sham says he's probably gonna play. But as
far as I know, still a game time decision to
see whether or not Daniel Luis is gonna fight. They
gonna fight, just I love that crowd goes wild cove I.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I want to put it in perspective. Also, what do
we see every NFL season when a guy like Joe
Burrow or a guy like Lamar Jackson, or you know,
someone of that nature gets knocked out of the playoff
situation like ah, they'll be back next year. And we
often realized that's that's like lip service. That's like, uh,
(11:56):
that's like someone saying, oh, you got don Oh that's
good luck. Oh it rained on your wedding day. Oh
that's just good luck. Sometimes you just say things to
make people feel better. Indiana is a great team, but
with the Knicks getting better, with Boston still being the Celtics,
it's not like this given where oh the Pacers will
(12:16):
be the team for years to come. This might be
Halliburton and Siakam and these guys maybe a real chance.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
He wants a great chance, Poys.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's a great point and you have to go all
out right, But is his sixty seventy percent better than
the next person's one hundred percent?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's really the question here.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
And talk recently about those moments where those miraculous sick
games and people playing for something like there's always these
moments and for all you know, we're three hours away
from Remember that game where Halliburton played hurt and he
facilitated as Danny said, and yo, Indiana, they took it
at game seven and that's how they won. Like this
might be the store.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He comes at lacing up his new Puma shoes. Everyone
gets all excited. It's a nice theatrical moment. It could
be a memorable moment saying that.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Am I wrung by saying the in state, the in
arena broadcast team, the scoreboard, the special effects. You don't
think that they should play into this, like be like, yo,
he's gonna play. Let's make it grandiosa, Let's make this
a deal.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You know, Oh, I think that's what we're sitting on,
what we're waiting for. And like I said, I'm on
the edge of my seat waiting for Dan Bayer to
have a sweet update for us on it, because that's
what we're discussing. He's most likely gonna play, but is
it at the detriment to his team? It's almost like
you have to be unselfish here too. What is really
best someone else's one or your sixty seventy percent? And
(13:39):
let me give you another example. We mentioned Kevin Durant,
What could happen if you overextend yourself to try to
be the hero? What about Nestor Cortes last year? Nasty
Nestor hadn't pitched in a month, and what did he do?
He said all the right things and all the cool things, like, yo, man,
if the team needs me, I don't care if I
permanently hurt myself. I don't care if it's a career
ending injury. I want to win that ring with the Yankees.
(14:01):
Put me in there, I'll go all out. Dude, had
him pitched in a month, he goes out, He goes
out there and gets shelled. Freddie Freeman hits a Grand
Slam game over, set the tone Game one, and the
Dodgers win the World Series.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
That's miserable.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
So his his sixty percent set the team back.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You see what I mean?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Like, I know we all want this heroic story, but
at least hear out the other side.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's not always the best decision.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Hey, Kove, repeat after me just one time. Gibby, meet Freddy.
Gibby me Freddy.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But you think about it, that was him being almost
a little too selfless. I don't know how you want
to look at it, but at the detriment of his team.
Someone else would have probably been better off in that
situation than Nestor, who was pitching on all heart. Again,
the intention was there, but guess what his arm was not.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Freddie Freeman teed off, fine guy, if Freddy Freeman was
playing injured, and he was almost a detriment on defense, remember, true,
So it goes both ways.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But you know what, Yeah, if Freddy's if Freddy's too
much of a wuss, he's not taking that at bat
and he's like, I'm injured.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Guys, was him showing all that heart and saying all
the right things really worth it? That said that Tony
Yankees had no shot after that, And that could be
what Halliburton brings tonight, could be not wishing for that
at all. And again that all is speculation on how
hurt he really is.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And it goes back to tolerance, right, Sometimes you push
through and other people stay home.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Everyone's different. We'll see how tough he is tonight. Yeah,
there's a quote from him.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
He says, it's the Finals.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I worked my whole life to get here. If I
can walk, I can play. I like the attitude.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But Jenny, I mean that's that's sort of what I
was thinking. As far as like you play your whole life, Cavino,
it's there. There are so few people that get this opportunity,
the honor to play in the NBA, the MLB, the NFL.
If you are like on the borderline of can I
play or not in the biggest game of your life?
What has Halliburton played in a bigger game than an
(16:09):
elimination NBA Finals Game six? You're right, Unless he unless
he needs to be in a wheelchair, this guy's gonna try.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah. Let me make this clear too.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
On my behalf, I'm Cavino, that is Rich, Danny g
sam Byer, everybody's hanging out. I want to make it
clear that I agree with you. I want him out there.
We all want him out there. We want to see
a great game six. We want to see some heroic
stuff happen tonight. Want to see him lace it up.
We want to see something, like you said, theatrical. But
I am just giving you other things to think about.
(16:37):
It's not always the best decisions. Sometimes it is best
to sit out, even though it's tough to sit it out.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I'll give you an example of our industry, Chick hern
back in the day, he was going for a record
of X amount of broadcasts in a row and he
had laryngitis. It was so bad you could only make
out like every third word he was saying in the
first half of this Lakers game.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It was bad.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
So in our business, it would almost be like if
it was a show you guys really needed to do,
but you had laryngitis and it was hard to listen to.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You gotta push it through, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
On a funny note, we have our big event tomorrow
from Vegas, right, hundreds of people showing up from all
over the country to party with us at CIRCA. We're
gonna be doing it live here on Fox Sports Radio
poll Side. It's gonna be great, and we're gonna be
boozing and schmoozing and broadcasting and shaking hands and high fives.
(17:34):
And Rich Davis here is losing his voice as we speak.
As we speak, my example hit too close to home.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and I'm like, guy, I've
got a broadcast. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
If I have half a voice. If I could even
with her, I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
In all right ready to go, man. So I just
hope that he brings it. I hope, you know'll see
a crappy effort because he's trying too hard where he's
you know, just not at his best. What do you
do in life based on that? A game six? You
got to show up. It's the NBA Finals, that's clear
(18:17):
if you can. But in life, if you're not one
hundred percent, do you show up or not?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I think a lot of times you sit him out
and then you wish you would have, like your price
is right theory is? I feel like that's life. So
many times we're like, yeah, I'm tired, man, I'm not
going to go out tonight. Then your buddies all have
a great time. You're like, man, I really could have
gone out. Very much like you said, when you're a
kid eleven or am hit, you're watching prices right, you're
playing Plinko with grandma and you realize that the reality is.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That was the thing he played seven up and you
played kickball and oh you missed that out on.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
All the fun? Oh man, dB, what are your thoughts
on this?
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Man?
Speaker 8 (18:55):
Well, I just want to draw a parallel. It's not exact,
but I'm curious in your guys thoughts because how Burton
is injured. But it reminds me of the dilemma, say,
like in the Little League World Series, do you want
your stud pitcher who's probably seventeen years old to pitch
in that game before you get to the championship game?
Or do you want him to pitch if you get
(19:15):
to that championship game? You want him to pitch in
that one because I think there's a good chance that
Halliburton may not be one hundred percent tonight. And if
he's not one hundred percent tonight and plays forty minutes,
he's probably not going to be one hundred percent for
Game seven. But if you didn't play him tonight, you
have no guarantee that there is a game seven. And
(19:35):
so like it may pay off if you held them out,
we're able to win. But it reminds me, you know
that Little League decision where you can only have like
sixty pitches or you know you can't you're at your
pitch limit for youth baseball, And.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
If you just when we play when we play games
on our show, when we play Last One Standing, and
I save an answer and then give a wrong answer.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I'm like, oh what a yeah, yeah, do you use
Halliburton tonight? I didn't sure game seven.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
You would almost have to live by anything can happen
in a game seven because you just got to make
it there.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Agree with Danny, I would, yeah, I would. I would
play him tonight and then whatever happens happens. But you
have to get there first.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
And for the record, like I said, maybe maybe you're
on vacation, maybe you were hitting the head. Who knows
he's dealing with a right calf strain. That's really what
it is, and Jack is just finding out by hearing
you right now on the heart.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I was in the ocean the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
It was confirmed by an MRI that he appeared a
right calf strain after game five, and I'm sure you
guys saw the clips. Just making it clear though, that's
what's going on here. So he could further hurt the
calf by playing tonight. But we'll see what happens. Your thoughts,
do you play through it or not? It is a
(20:51):
game six, But how about life?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
In life?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You got a hot date, you got a big meeting,
but you're feeling sixty percent. Do you reschedule or do
you push through it and not bring your best?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's so tough, you know that. It got me thinking, also, Cavino,
about what Halliburton must have gone through over the last
twenty four to forty eight hours. Do you think this
guy is like NonStop with thera guns. Do you think
someone's on standby rubbing his leg right now? Like is
it is it full attention or is it like him
just sitting by himself? Is he is he being worked
on NonStop? Like he's Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
That's always a funny question, and I know you always
bring that up behind the scenes. Rich always says that,
like right now, what's he doing? Like is there like
three people giving him Miyagi treatment? Like what's going on
right now?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I always wonder that because if you're if you're watching
the NFL. I always love the NFL because you know,
some guys like his legs all tight before a game.
I wonder because remember like t O when some of
these guys would go in like cryo chambers and they
do all these treatments. I wonder if Halliburton is just
going old school and like icing it or is he
having like intense treatments we don't even know about for
(21:55):
the last day.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
All right, So here's what we'll do. We got old
school and fifty hits, fifty hits on the clock. We're
gonna talk some baseball and we get you involved.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
But I want to get you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Involved now too. Your thoughts on this and maybe times
in life you probably should have sat it out, or
maybe it didn't and it made all the difference.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You showed up. Looks like Haliburton showing up.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
We'll keep you posted your calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Will get to him next. We
got more Covino and Rich live from La Crceeve. Yeah,
gotta be one hundred percent or as close to one
(22:32):
hundred percent that you can be nowadays.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'll name drop here on Covinion.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Rich, you get a name drop.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah, okay, my dude, Emmitt Smith, you know, my my
best fell Emmitt Smith once told us after Week one
of the NFL, No. One is one hundred percent. These athletes.
You think after eighty two games and multiple playoff rounds,
these guys are all banged up. Halliburton will do anything
possible to play. You're not an NBA star. Your DNA
(23:01):
wouldn't allow you to be like, I think I'm gonna
sit this one out. I think he's a go, no
matter what I know, Sham says, insinuated. It looks like
it's a go. But I can't imagine him sitting out.
I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Well, we'll find out Haliburton tonight, Game six, write camps, train,
play or not, do or die? But how about just
random moments in life? I'll share a story in a second.
Right now, we're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Tomorrow,
we're live from Vegas poolside at the Circus, so tune in.

Even after the show today at four pm on the West,
seven pm on the East, over Promised Episode ninety seven premieres.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Not only over promised Cavino, you could catch our interview
with Joey Chestnut as he gets ready to dominate, as
he said he wants to do eighty hot dogs on
the fourth of July. Do you think Joey Chesta would
sit out if you had a tummy ache? I don't
think so. All right, well here's why.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
In life though, in regular life, right not everyone's living
a Game six sort of life. But in regular life,
maybe sometimes it is best to sit out because when
you push too hard, maybe you're exposing yourself perhaps, or
maybe you're making things worse.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Like we said, Nasty Nester or KD, I got in
a car accident in the past year, and it was
right before a big meeting we had. Do you guys
remember that. Yeah, right before a big meeting. We left
a studio, I pulled out of the parking lot and
some JABBRONI totaled my car and I was all shaken
(24:46):
up like anyone else is after a car accident.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But I was okay.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
However, I did have significant whiplash and I was sort
of dazed and confused as to what just happened. But
I know we had this big meeting with big clients
here at Fox Sports Radio, and Rich came and picked
me up. We went to this restaurant and had this
big meeting, and you know where I would have normally
(25:13):
brought my one hundred percent or anything close to one
hundred percent as I would have brought. I'm there at
like forty percent days like a dope, and all these
guys think I'm a dope.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
As a result, I should have put you. I should
have left you in the blue tent. So like maybe, like, yeah,
I wanted to show that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah man, I'm still here and I want to show
that I'm I'm a team player.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But did I really bring my best in that moment?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The next time I saw those people and they're the best,
they were like, yeah, dude, we knew something was off.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Man.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Are you that is that the time you told the
sponsor about your idea for alcohol ice cubes?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Like I was so down, like a zombie. You know,
I wasn't myself. Maybe I should have sat it out.
I think there's sometimes in life where it's okay and
you just you want to push and you want to
do the right thing, but maybe doing the right thing
is actually the wrong thing.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That's all I'm saying. We all want to see Halliburton
get out there, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I remember have you known that meeting? He was like
tire Rack, I mean, I love ty you.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Thought I was an idiot, respectfully, of course, and I am,
But I mean they thought, like, what's up with this guy?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
What's what's wrong with this guy?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I was there like we should have dropped we should
have dropped Covino off at a little uh and.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Then and then you know what happened.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Rich.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I'm justifying that I just gotten that accident. I'm telling
everybody my sob story, Like, that's not the impression I
wanted to give. So think about it, and let's get
to some phone calls. We got Travis in La on
the Covino and Rich show Fox Sports Radio. Yo, Travis,
are you on your way to Vegas?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
What's going on buddy tomorrow morning?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Short drive?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Nice? Nice, awesome?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
So what are your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Man?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Right?
Speaker 7 (26:54):
So, I almost like the topic too much because I
studied psychology in college, and I I agree with your
side of it. You know what I always think about
I think about bands on tour, like what do they
do when they get in a fight with their girlfriend
or something like an hour before the show. Now, you've
got to play songs that are sad, happy, all these things?
How are you supposed to do that? You know?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
You know, dude, it's something that when you work in entertainment,
I guess you could say we loosely do that. It's
obvious we live real lives and there's ups and downs
all the time, right your wife or girlfriend busting your chops,
your kids are painting in the ass. I think a
lot of people, not everybody, but a lot of people.
I can tell you straight up. I'm one of those
(27:36):
guys that could usually compartmentalize, just like you have to
compartmentalize that word in order to say it compartment you
have to compartmentalize your life. And it's like that show
Severance when I'm at work. Ah, you know, my daughter
being a teenage pain in the ass is sort of
forgotten in that moment, and I think this is sort
(27:58):
of the escape, and that's how it work psychologically, at
least for people like me.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
He's right, though, I mean guys like you, Kam. You know,
I've always thought that was such a quality of yours,
Like can you know what'd be going through some real
life terrible drama and he would just bring it on
the air. Some people could check out. Some people, Yeah,
some people give like you are, like the TV show Severance,
where other people a baseball player might be slumping, you know,
maybe because his wife asked for a divorce.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
You know, not everybody's like that. It's different for everybody.
But Zach came up with a great example.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I mention, if you're a rock star and you got
to sing love ballads on stage and the person you
wrote that song about you hate in the moment.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh yeah, that's it's tough. But you know, it's a job.
It's a gig. You can't you got you know, the
show must go on as the saying goes. But sometimes
it's at the detriment of your reputation of you.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
And we're hoping for Haliburt.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
It's not of his team at this point, so it
looks like he's going to play. We'll keep you posted.
That's the latest report from Shams. The right camp strain
and you never know if you pushes it could hurt
it even more. We're still getting phone calls.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I think, does anyone in OKC that's like, yeah, give
him tonight, I want to win at home Game seven,
or you think it's like no, no, let's win now.
There's always some people that are like at home the
NBA road celebrations stink.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Compared to home and by the way, Rich you know
what else I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about how generationally
it is a little different. There's some generations that want
to always push through and push through and push through,
and then there's other generations. And I'm not calling people
out that just don't push through his heart, you know.
So it's case by case. Jesse in Indiana, what are
(29:39):
your thoughts?
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (29:44):
I just so my personal opinion on this is I
think Aliburton should play, but I don't think he should start.
I think McConell should start over him playing limited minutes,
you know, when he's randy, when he's feeling it for Carlisle.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Put him in.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Hey, put McConnell back again.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Hey, you ever think of strategy too that happens in sports,
Like maybe he's all right and it's just messing with
OKC for them to think that he is hurt, and
then he comes out and lights it up.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Yeah, dude, I've thought about like even strategies like he
was insinuating, what if you don't start him and what
if what if the Pacers are winning by eight in
the you know, first quarter when it you know, double
digit lead at halftime, you could really play it safe.
I've always thought that with baseball, and I know people
in baseball say pitchers have such a routine. But let
(30:37):
me give you the example up. Let's say the Tigers
are in a playoff game and they have scooball ready
to start it. Does Tigers put up a six spot
in the top of the first inning. Don't you feel
like you want to be like, no, no, no, safe him
for tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah, I mean you think, but pitchers are so particular
about the root. Professional athletes are weird like that. Yeah,
but I'm just thinking maybe that's the solution. Maybe you
don't start them and you see how things go. You know,
it really is.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I mean, I haven't been Diners.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
The Niners have taken that approach in the past with McCaffrey,
where it's like, yeah, let's go light until we see
if we really need him in this matchup?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Do we have Jesse in Indiana? Jesse, thank you so much, Travis.
I also want to thank you. Hope to see you
in Vegas. Now we'll get to the rest of your
phone calls. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox next
and we're gonna talk rings. Do they matter or not?
An old school in fifty hits. But let's get to
our good pal, the great Dan Byer.
Speaker 8 (31:32):

free back by free Road, has protection, convenient insallation options
(36:08):
like mobile tire Insallation, tire act dot Com the way
tirebuink should be in Cavino. You heard it there in
the clip. I have a theory that you will resist
because you're a Yankees fan. And I hate to say
it because I'm not a Dodgers fan, but you got
to give it to him man when they win and
walk off fashion and that I love LA song hits
in the background, Dude, do.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I don't like that song?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
A song from Naked Gun sounds like a like a
campy eighties cheesy comedy song.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Covino would rather hear fat Yo.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah yeah, sorry, Danny g.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Your Dodgers are so great.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
My Yankees and Riches Mats were battling on who could
suck the most the past six games.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
But I will say, though when I when I hear that,
I love La. You tell me that doesn't hit the
right way.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
No, you mean the team that beat the Yankees last year.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Screw them? So I prefer Old Blue Eyes Rich. That's
how it is. But we're Cavino and Rich and speaking
of baseball. Look at the time all School went fifty hits.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
There's a certain What we're gonna do is go back.
Speaker 9 (37:14):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits. That's fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
So word on the streets is today is an anniversary,
especial day on this day in eighteen forty six. I
think Mike, who runs his place, he was probably around
around that time. Who I think he was there when
it happened. Mike, he was there. I heard he was
(37:48):
there on this day when first ball was invented in
what city was invented on this day?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Hoboken, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Hoboken in New Jersey, where Covino and Rich met and
began this journey as a show together.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Danny J. Right off of Washington Street in Hoboken where
all the bars are by the way, Hoboken, New Jersey,
the home of old Blue Eyes and more bars per capita.
Hoboken's a really cool town right across the Hudson River
from New York City. And there it is. There's a
there's a plaque and it says baseball started here.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I was to say, I've seen the plaque, Danny g
it's a historical monument.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Oh yeah, I remember the ken Burns documentary famously talking
about it, The.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Ken Burns documentary Classic. So we ask you Fox Sports
Radio Nation Throwback Thursday, Old School in fifty hits. This
is when we get everybody involved, the most inclusive show
on radio eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. On this anniversary,
on this day, eighteen forty six, baseball was invented.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Baseball as we know it, Baseball as we know it?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Right, what are the most important moments in baseball to you?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
All right? I have that, and I have a second
part of the question. I want to add. I want
to go your favorite baseball memory that you think was
just so iconic, that meant so much to you, and
also your favorite weird baseball saying or lingo because I'll
give you one, Okay, I give you I'm gonna give
you two, all right. My favorite moment, clearly as a
(39:23):
Mets fan, gets By Buckner rounding third is night and
the Mets win the ball in Game six eighty six.
I was in kindergarten. I was my son's age, and
I remember thinking like, is this the beginning a lot
of great things? And know the Mets haven't won since,
but eighty six, Game six gets By Buckner's my moment.
My favorite sayings in baseball little number. Never understood that
(39:47):
little number. And I love how it's okay that we
just call guys studs. For some reason, you're left to
call other grown men studs.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
With Harper's a stud, so hear from you guys.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
He doesn't have a little number. That's probably why.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Again, greatest moments that are important to you, we chop
it up next right here on Cavino and Rich Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
That's baseball.
