We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.

Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She can win.

She's an outsider to win the French fame. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any service.

Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds, I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.

But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're going to bring our own here on Fox Sports Radio. in the form of midweek major. We do it every Wednesday. Spot breaks down the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture.

Are the stories mid? Are they weak? Are they major? We'll get to that. All right. Got Puka Nakua to talk about some NFL. By the way, speaking of the NFL, I mean, maybe we misunderstood it yesterday. We did break the news, but originally we thought it was, or should I say Dan Byer broke the news,

but on this show, Russell Wilson, one year, $21 million. It's really $10 million. With the possibility of 21 mil. So I ask you this. I look at him and Justin Fields as the two-headed quarterback in Pittsburgh that went there separate ways, right? Because remember it was like, we were all sort of confused. Like, would you go with Ross?

Would you go with Justin Fields? It seems as though the rest of the league thinks has way more value in Justin Fields. It's two years, 40 mil with the Jets, where Russ gets a one-year deal, 10 plus incentives that could be 20. So do you look at Russell Wilson as like that much less valuable than Justin Fields? Because apparently everyone else does. How crazy that both of them wound up in New York. I thought about that after we left too yesterday.

Well, yeah. It happened so suddenly, you know, it took us a minute to process the situation. Like, wow, damn. Well, what about Rogers? What about Sanders? Like, the Giants got Russell Wilson? He's back in New York. and I see it back in New York because remember he did a little spring training with the Yankees.

Also, Kov, how about what it means for some of the other teams at the top of the draft that are quarterback needy? Then you got to ask yourself also besides that day. And I'm thinking even another layer. When you see guys like Justin Fields getting 20, rust, 10 plus incentives, Brock Purdy's probably still waiting around. Like, that doesn't bode well for him. You get to pay Brock Purdy, 50, 60 million dollars when teams are getting guys like, Ross for 10 or Justin Fields for 20.

Like, Rock Purdy's price tag may have dropped into the 40s. I think the Giants looked at it this way. I'm going to quote the great Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees. He was asked about Aaron Boone. He was asked about Alex Redugo's one-year deal with the Braves for like $1.5 million. He says something along the lines of they got a solid big league player for a little bit of money. And I feel like that's the same thing with Russell Wilson. He's not the same Russell Wilson, but you got.

a solid NFL quarterback. Yeah, he's on his downward trajectory. He's not the same guy he was. But you got a guy who could play the position for not that much. You got to make that move. Yeah, but the perception of Russell Wilson has changed. You said it right before he went on the air. He was one Marshawn Lynch runaway from being a back-to-back Super Bowl champion.

He went from Superstar in Seattle to didn't work out in Denver, then Steelers, now the Giants. And the Mr. Unlimited and the cringy stuff. And it all happened so fast. Oh, my goodness. What a change. So this is his last hurrah, and we're seeing live coverage as we speak. He's live at a news conference in New York for the Giants. So that story broke yesterday.

You had a day to process it. I'm glad you said New York, because my first dumb question of the day has nothing to do with LeBron. We're going to get there. We're going to get to Jimmy Butler and Jose Canseco is in the news for a funny reason. And you said Pooka Nakua, one of our good pals are regular on the show. We'll get to all that. But my wife is cooking something for dinner tonight. Everyone grab a pen.

Danny G. I was saying, everyone grab a pen. I want you to write down this word. Because I want to hear all of you pronounce it. My wife's a southern Texan. I'm from New York, Cavito and Spotted from Jersey. Dan Byers and Midwest, dude. Write down this word, and I want to hear you pronounce it, okay? M-A-N.

Man. I Oh, sorry Good way I M-A-N-I C-O-T-T-I An Italian dish

My wife is preparing tonight How well hold on Let's go with Iowa Samuel How do you pronounce that meal Well I could pronounce it like one of the guys No no how do you say I say Manicati Danny J

How do you say it The way my grandma said it She said Manacote Yeah Everyone's saying Manicote Damn buyer I would say Manicot Not Té, not E, but T.

Hey. Oh, I pronounce it the same way Polly Walnuts pronounce it. Yeah, the soprano. Managot. With the G. Like a G. Like a G.C. It's like a G.C.

Managot. And Spots got a flow to it. If you're going to say, the Italian way would be Manacotti. You bounce the T's, Manacotti. Or if you're like an East Coast Italian guy, Managot with the G. Like this. My wife said, tonight I'm making Manicati. And I just think that.

Nothing wrong with that. To me, it just sounds so weird being an East Coast guy, making Mad Acadie. Are there any regional words that just drive you bonkers? Yeah, there's a ton of them. People have different ways of saying all sorts of things. It's like when your wife for certain people say pop, I'm like, who says pop? I know it's not a Miss. Midwestern.

Midwestern. You know, that's soda, bro. You're like, do you have my tennis sneakers? I'm like, who are you, Jimmy Connors? Can I tell you, that's the one? I don't want to harp on this. Those are sneakers. There's too much to get to.

But you just nailed my number one answer on the. board so either we share a brain or we're on the same track. When my wife calls my kid's sneakers, like Ben, Emmy, grab your tennis shoes. I'm like, tennis shoes. What are they? Steffie Graff? Were you sneaking around? We got the Johnny Max special. Are the shoes

for sneaking? Yeah, but they're sneakers. If I got a pair of Jordans, what am I wearing now? Much like Managot and Manacotti, it's just I think it's a regional thing. These little top dunks, these are sneakers. These are not tennis shoes. Those are weakers because those are pandas. People hate pandas. Weakers.

How dare you? I'm seeing... Spot, I was going to say some people... Some people say supper. Oh, yeah. What? My mother-in-law and father-in-law who just left, they were here for like a week or so visiting, every night, you grandkids ready for supper?

And every night I'm like, supper. It makes you cringe a little bit. What is this little house on the prairie? You're a product of your environment, not to state the obvious, because I probably would pronounce it Manicati if I wasn't surrounded by a bunch of of sausage-fingered Bacha Galoops growing up, growing up in Jersey. Yeah, there's not a lot of Italians in Iowa. I'll be honest.

So it's a fair assessment. It's just a, they're regional differences. Like Gabagou. Gabagou. You know, Gabagou is actually Capacola. Yeah, or like a nice brajou. There's also another dish. Brasol.

Brajole. Brajole. I thought Ben Mallor invented that. What type of cheese is on top of a slice of pizza? Iowa, Sam. Of course, if I was a child, if I was 15 years old, You just say the name. Just say it's always...

How do you say it? How do you say it? Oh, there we go, thank you. He reads like an internet recipe. Oh my goodness. But I'd say now I'd say a mozzarella. Because I'm trying to be authentic, right? You have to say fresh mozrelle.

Mozrelle. Rich is trying to make a point. He just wants you to play along, Sam. So it's like when somebody asks you, how much does this cost? And if they want to show you what a deal they got, you say, oh, $500. And you go, nope, $49. 99. You don't say,

20 bucks? Just play along. I was Sam as a guy when you say, Sam, if a genie granted you wishes, Sam would be like, I would want more wishes. Sam, you can smile.

Hold on, Sam. You know what you should do? Smiling. You got to put a little quiver like John Travolta when you say Mozarelle. Fresh Mozare.

Fresh, Azim. Fresh, fresh Mozare. So this is all regional differences. Again, Rich and I and spot. We're all from the East Coast,

so of course we're going to lean. Can I wrap this with one? It was a complaint from a listener. Sure. Please, yeah. Yeah. So I get a call on the studio lines the other day and they said, look, they were nice about it, Rich.

Tell Rich it's Gonzaga, not Gonzaga. Gonzaga, yeah, because they're the Zags. It's not Nevada. It's Nevada. You know, a lot of that happens, too, when you're not from the area, right? Like, before we first moved out here, we would say Cali and people like, no one says Cali. We would say San Fran and then all of a sudden people would say like, no one says San Fran. No one says Frisco.

Right. So, and you know what? Being from Jersey, nobody says Joisey. I've lived there my whole life. I never heard one person say, listen to your mom. Yeah, she may say she says coffee, but she doesn't say joysie. Anyways, all regional differences. Listen, I could tie it in.

Get used to it Sierra. Get used to it, Russell Wilson. Sierra's from Texas. Russell Wilson, not a New Yorker, played college at Wisconsin. was in the, you know, Pacific Northwest, then Pittsburgh. So, you know, what do you think? You mean Russell Wilson's going to have to say he's Mr. Unlimited? Oh.

Moving forward. Yeah, he's got to change. He's going to say, Mr. Unlimited, get them out of you. Mr. Mr. Unlimited. Oh. Got to be a little. No, he just says Mr. Unlin. He doesn't finish it.

Mr. Alim. Mr. Lim. So he has to adjust again. Once again, and like he posted on social media, he's been there before, starting all over again. But, man, that's a crazy roller coaster of a life, right? I mean, you got a family and, you know, a wife of note like Sierra. I'm not saying it's a big adjustment, but hey, welcome to the Big Apple, Russell Wilson. It's moving to New York, again, not for everyone.

So it should be an interesting thing is he's a very personable, guy awkward and cringy, as many have said, but the New York media and Russell Wilson, to be determined. Yeah, that's a fun storyline. I mean, if you're in it for the storyline, which we are, I can't wait to see what happens. What if he blends in all of a sudden?

He's, you know, throwing out first pitches at the Yankees game. He's going to Broadway shows. What if he pulls in Aaron Rogers successfully? Yeah, that worked. What is that word they say in Pittsburgh? Is it Yins? Which means, like, you all or like everyone. Now he's going from YINS to say, use guys.

Guys. Use guys. Use guys. Use guys need to block. That's how we started the press companies. He goes, I want to welcome use guys. Use guys. Oh, hello.

So, hey, enjoy your Taylor ham and your pizza, Russell Wilson. With the fresh mozzarella. Now, a giant. Let me quiz you real quick. A little more experience with the state of Pennsylvania. If you go anywhere in the state of Pennsylvania, you order a logger, what kind of beer you're going to be getting? Well, Sam, is it northern Pennsylvania or San?

All state. Yingling. There you go. Very good. Yingling is a huge. You said, give me a logger. Better be yingling. Yingling.

Yingling was my answer. You're a diggling. If you go to Philadelphia, home of the Super Bowl champion eagles, if you get a cheese steak, how do you tell them you want it with cheese? Give me the whiz. Whiz wit. Whiz wit? Whiz wit? Whiz wit?

Yeah, whiz with onions and you get the works. Whiz wit. All right. Well, hey, there you go. Russell Wilson, New York, I just figured when my wife just texted me, well, little voice message, I'm making manicotti. I'm like, Mao. You can't, it may grate your ears, but you can't blame her for that. She's from tegots.

She's like grate your ears. Did you just make a cheese joke? I did. Oh, very well done. But, you know, it's just how it's really said. No doubt. No, digity. No doubt.

How do you say Sherbet? Sherbert. I always say Sherbert, but I feel like that's wrong. It's Sherbet, but who says Sherbet? My mom always says Sherbet. It's Sherbet. Yeah. No, do you say crank calls or prank calls?

Prank. Prank calls. A lot of people say maybe it's generational more than regional, but a lot of older folks say crank calls. Crank calls. That's funny. Maybe because my mom's so old, she used to crank the telephone. I don't know. I don't know.

She is. She's old. You know, interestingly enough, regional differences, I'll wrap it up with one thing that has probably killed all of our spring diets. Have you guys finished all your Girl Scout cookies? No, I still got some. thin mince in the freezer? Still got a few.

Did you know there are two Girl Scout cookie factories, and based on where you live in the country, they're different? Is that mind blasting to everyone here? Did you know this? There's two distributors, yeah. There's two distributors, so your thin mince in, I don't know, Minnesota, may look different than the ones in California. Everything, tagalongs and Samoas,

there are two different factories, so they are slightly different. called slightly different things. I thought I saw something of that with Dr. Pepper. Because Dr. Pepper isn't Coke, it isn't Pepsi. It's its own company. But if it's bottled by a Pepsi distributor, it's in a different bottle,

then it would be if it was from a Coke distributor. I didn't know that. They do that for, what is it spot with mayonnaise, too? Oh, yeah, Helmonds and Best Foods. It's like west of the Rockies. They actually says it on the jar. Do you have Helmans Mayo or Best Foods? It's like Carl's Jr.

And parties. Yeah. So look at that. Sorry for the ridiculous conversation, but that's where ADD radio brings you. He would see it. Like I said it, when you see Russell Wilson, as he said it, back in New York, it does make you think of those regional differences. Now he has to say Managot to fit in. Yeah, he can't be going to someplace in Hoboken, New Jersey, ordering the Matakotty. I got to tell you, man, like, you know, I'm half Mexican. And when I go, and my sister's very Jersey American, when I go get Mexican. with her and she orders taquitos. I want to vomit. I'm like, can you put a little like,

just a little like taquito in it? She's like, I'll have some taquitos. I'm like, can you at least pretend like you have a little bit of a fear about you? A little quesdi? Well, taquitos. Before we get into LeBron, which I feel like

there's so many great things he said on, it was a great interview. You got to give credit where credits do. Maccophie had a great sit down with LeBron. And there's one particular thing LeBron talked about that we got to dissect a little bit. Is it real or offensive or a real offensive? Listen, something LeBron said, I feel it was so on the money. I got LeBron's back to something he said, I couldn't agree with more. We'll get to that.

Awkward returns, Jimmy Butler style, all that. But my last question about the New York, Russell Wilson deal, you lived on the East Coast most of your life. You'd been out in L.A. now for a while. but when you think of that local New York media, sports radio, sports TV, people still get newspapers in New York sometimes. Like, do you think the local New York press is going to embrace this guy? Russ Salzberg is going to get him. Russ Salzberg.

Water Wolf is really a, what do you think? Do you think, because the expectation, you're coming off a 3 and 14 season, they can't expect this guy to light it up and be a playoff team. Yeah, but I'll tell you what, as we watched a live coverage, unless this is a replay. Yeah, it looks like he's really having fun up there. He's smiling a lot. It looks real personable. I think New York gravitates toward that sort of personality.

Like, he looks like he's having fun up there. It looks visually really great right now. We don't know what he's saying, but it looks like body language wise. Body language wise. It looks like he's having a great time up there. And I would imagine New York's embracing this moment. So we'll see.

All right. Well, hey, we're going to talk a LeBron coming up. We got a lot of fun to get to on today's Kavino and Rich show. Could someone please during the break? Has Malik Neighbors commented on this? I'm not saying he has, but he has spoken on social media in the past. I'm curious if he's positively or vaguely referenced the Russell Wilson signing. Because now that's Malik Neighbors who was like under the radar sick last year. Like, you know, because he was on such a bunk team, you forget what a great year Malik Neighbors had. So curious what he thinks going to Russell Wilson.

now is his go-to guy as he continues to emerge into one of the best receivers. It all comes down to how he plays. Him and Bruce Beck may be chumming it up right now. But I'm telling you, it's just a matter of how he plays. He could be having fun today. They could bury him tomorrow if he stinks it up. True. Double true.

All right, hey, coming up again, LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, Jose Kinseko, a bunch of random fun stories. We'll dissect here on Kavino and Rich. Hang tight. Tires matter. They're the only part of your vehicle that touches the ROAD. How do you say road? Is that regional?

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some essay. The NFL late night comedy guy, not quite.

Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian win.

I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerner Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world, right now and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where

doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Who? Mike. He said, you guys are way too much fun. I go, no, Mike. That's the vibe, bro. Yeah, I mean, we do. Yeah. Sorry, Charlie Murphy.

I was having too much fun. I just played the dumbest joke on. I was saying I'll post it. I'll post it after today's show. We'll post it. All I'll say is that I think he felt the set up coming, but he didn't know what it was. No idea. I got Mike with a pretty good one.

I'm not going to give you the punchline, but I'll tell you the joke. I asked Mike, who runs this place? You know, Mike, he looks like, uh, he looks like Bruce Willis a little bit. Oh, Mike. It looks like an older stone cult. Yeah, Mike. I asked him if he was going to SawCon this year. He was like, SawCon.

I said, you're going to Sarkon? And the punchline is a very juvenile one, but oh, it felt so good when I got it with it. Oh, okay. Yes, yes, yes. But we also got Sam with something else. Man, I've been taking it from all angles today. Yeah, so I've heard, Sam, at Covino and Rich is where you can play along at home. Dan Byers got your updates in about 10 minutes.

Now, LeBron James. LeBron James. You know the kid that said that is 35 years old though? That kid, yeah, he's 135. That's how long it's been. Well, think about it. He, Kavino, I know Kavino's thinking. Kavino always thinks a lot of clout comes with those.

things like you probably think man that guy's probably got so much booty that he's lebron james kid goes to the club and he's like i'm lebron james kid and he gets so much attention what do you mean remember like 15 years ago the little kid that was like lebron james i bet i love i love turtles kid is probably the coolest kid in town he's probably the king of the campus wherever he is right now how about the apparently kid apparently kid is slated apparently apparently he gets more booty than all of you combined Because he has a video with apparently kid grown up now. I have seen that.

It's not as fun. No. Now he's just apparently man. Actually, to really give this story some truth, you remember the Numa Numa kid in the early 2000s? Maya he had him on our show. And I was like, dude, you must have got so much action back in the day when that was the thing, huh? And he was like, no, not at all.

I'm like, none? He said, nope. It was the height of the early days of YouTube. And Kavino really thought, I was like, he must be getting, like, more than the average fellow. He must be getting so much booty. You're the guy with millions of views. And the guy's like, oh, in fact, none at all. I'm like, come on, Gary Brolsma.

Coming goes to show, you still got to have game. That's the truth. Yeah, it doesn't matter if you have a video. That's true. We get here, Rich. Why did you bring this up? I don't know. But I do know this.

LeBron James said something. LeBron James. There you go. He said something during his interview with Pat McAfee that I couldn't agree with more. Samuel L. Johnson. Johnson. From Iowa.

Hit the club. You're trying to tell me Janice wouldn't be able to play an NBA game in the 70s? Hintz. He wouldn't be able to do it. Neither would you. Janus Anast the Coupo would have 250 points in a game in a 70. 250. Now, what does he mean?

Janice is 70 years old? I think LeBron James, while of course exaggerating with 250 points, I don't think it's crazy to think that a guy like Janus, we forget. I don't

subscribe to and love these conversation of this guy from this generation versus this guy, LeBron versus MJ. I always hated the old Tyson versus. This era versus this era. Yeah.

You know why? I hate it. Not because I think it's an unwinnable debate. Because I hate the reality of, I think, the newer generation wins 90% of the time. With the exception of an MJ, with everyone, which everyone's convinced is the ultimate competitor of all time. We just evolve athletically as a society. I'm not saying socially.

I'm not saying, I'm not saying work ethic. saying we evolve. When we were kids, Lawrence Taylor, what made Lawrence Taylor special? No one was that big and that fast. It's like the babe. We talked about it recently. The dude was, what, 6-2-215?

But 6-2, was it 6-2? 6-215 at that time. He was like a giant fat guy. Fat guy, I weigh that on a bad weekend nowadays. But Rich, put the body types aside for a second. Don't you think there were some nastier athletes like Jack

Tatum and Ronnie Lott. There were, but I genuinely think athleticism evolves over time, which is why Olympic records are always broken, which is why speed continues. The Lawrence Taylor example, what I was going to say was, back then

he was like a beast among boys. Every team has a linebacker that has the size and strength of a Lawrence Taylor. I'm not saying they're better than Lawrence Taylor. Every baseball player is over 6-2 and over 215 for the most part. Every baseball player, Nolan Ryan was special because he threw heat 100 miles an hour. Teams have middle relievers that hit three, you know, three figures.

100 on the gun. Some guy out of your bullpen. Girl on softball. Do over 100 miles per hour. Yeah, the softball girl, 30 miles an hour softball equaling like 110 baseball. Point is, I think LeBron James is right. And it does feel disrespectful to the older generation. but if you go through any industry,

the industry has evolved where the current person doing it is more effective at it than the previous person. Look at the ball handling skills of anyone in the NBA now, dribbling between their legs casually. Back in the 70s and 80s,

learning to dribble between your legs are special. 12-year-olds do it now. But they didn't travel as much in the 80s. Yeah, I know the ultimate sides of the argument are you going to always be like, well, it's a softer game and this and that. Everyone's just playing, and as Draymond Green said, I'm just playing

under the rules that are out there. He's also an international star and basketball back then wasn't as international as it is now. So you didn't have Greek freaks in the NBA in the 70s at 6'11, 243. You know, you had some big dudes, obviously, it's the NBA, but built like that guy, give me a break.

So, yeah, I mean, LeBron's stating the obvious, you know, in my opinion, but it's not a fair assessment. It just isn't. They didn't have the workout routines and the resources a current player has.

And it wasn't global. To me, it's just always such a tired argument, but I do think it's always easy to have these debates and they're eye-rolling, but I always lean towards whoever's doing it now is probably doing it best.

Just based on evolution. Or a different you can't say the same about music necessarily. A music is subjective. It's an art, right? Like, artistry is different. Athleticism could be rated. It could be measured. You can't measure art.

It's a matter of for the time. That's really what it is. They were great for their time. But not every stat was recorded back in the day, Rich. So it's also a little harder to compare eras. But they also didn't play against every ethnicity in color because there was a time where it was like, man, you're the greatest baseball player. But we don't allow Latinos or black people to play.

Well, were you really that great then? Meh. Bah. So, I don't know. I just look at it. All right, look at our industry, Danny J. And this is with all due respect to the cousin Bruce's and Wolfman Jacks and Casey Kaysams of the world and all the old school legends. But when you really break down that guy, Rick, Rick, what's Rick, Rick, uh.

Oh, Rick D's. Oh, got, yeah, good one. Yeah, Rick Chase in the baseball. area in the 90s. No, Rick D. But think about all those old-time people in our industry. What did they do? They connected with their

local audience because there was no YouTube, there was no social media, there was no cable TV. The radio is a big deal. So all they had to be was like, Hey, hey, it's your cousin Brucey. Here's the Beatles on 101.1. Or have a cool, like, rhyme. But I don't know if I'd agree with that all the way, Rich, because they had a lot of funny bits. They did a lot of cranks.

calls. Wolfman, yeah, I mean, there's a song. There were still a lot of artistry involved in that style of radio back in the day. Here's the thing, here's what you didn't know, because radio has, everything has evolved, right? And they had to splice tape with razor blades. You didn't really I mean, I guess you could say you tuned

in for them, but you tuned in for the music, because you didn't really know a lot about the people. You were more intrigued on the mystery of who they were. You don't know anything about the people you're listening to. What do you know about Wolfman Jack? Other than he had a goatee and a cool You're right. You're right. They didn't have to be influences. Right? So, I mean, I would say that would be the difference now. The people you

listen to now, you're probably listening to and know a little something about them. Because you connect with them. You know them. You see them on social media. You know their lives. Right. Like a Bobby Bones. I know what he's up to because I see him on social media all the time. Back then, you're like, I don't even know what the guy looks like. So there was some mystery building the intrigue. It's just really tough to say, Rich, because, you know, things were just different. It's hard to compare. It really is. There was a magic with Casey Casem and some of the legendary DJ. It was only magic, Danny G.

And I'm not trying to be the guy that ruins the magic tricks on Instagram. I feel like you're about to right now. But it's like all Casey Kasem did was say, that was number 20. He was number 19. That's all he did. I'm sorry, he was also the voice of Shaggy. He connected with millions of listeners. Because there were no other options, Danny.

There were no other options. He did a better count down. Yes, there were local options. And he was a national treasure. And you're a question, dedication. JT40 with Casey Kasem. That was Lionel Richie all night long. Now it's time for your long distance dedication.

Jessica says, I miss my friend Bobby. Here's your request. This is a hot take coming from the guy who hosts the Pop 2K countdown. Seriously. Yeah. Rich takes high offense to the fact that he's not better than Casey Kasem. Who also kisses the Casey Kasem countdown sign in the production studio every day. He did it right there.

All I'm saying is that we evolve in everything. We evolve. Radio DJs evolved into talk show host, podcasters, more relatable, relevant stuff. We've seen private parts with Howard Stern when he had that big revelation like, oh, maybe if I'm just myself. We evolve.

Sports evolves. All right, take an industry totally away from sports or music or something like that. If you're a real estate agent, you don't think a real estate agent now with their mental capacities and the tools they know could outsell any real estate agent from 25 years ago? Hey, man, again, we're comparing apples and oranges. Let me hear you say keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. Rich, the tools are different. That doesn't necessarily make it better. Like a lot of radio stations, and I don't mean to open up the curtain here, but there's a lot of voice tracking that's gone on the past how many years. That's not better. In broadcasting, it's not better. It's just the technology made that happen.

Maybe it's just sports, Rich, because a lot of times you, you lose the magic along the way. You use the character. You lose what really built that industry. You lose the heart of it. I hate to break it to you. All the shows we watched growing up, we have so many fond memories and have great laughs.

But they all stink. Well, that's true. You think you could sit down and watch growing pains and be like, that was a great show. You think you could watch Balke? Don't be ridiculous. That was trash. You're telling me some well-written show on Netflix or Hulu

isn't better writing than too close for comfort. give me a freaking break. I think it's, give me a break. Not a great show. I think it's industry by industry. It's all going to be a little different. And when you're talking sports, a lot of it comes to sports evolving into an international game, like we said, certain games. And the conditioning of these players.

Yeah, I agree. Janus would dominate in a whole different level if he was playing some skinny-ass dude from the 70s who worked out with a bull worker. Some white dude that dribbled in front of him. Yeah, I agree with you. I agree. Well, with that said, I don't care what you say. Damn Byers a better update guy than anyone from the past. Well, I don't know about that. But you mentioned too close for comfort, and that's a little too close for comfort.

Mr. Rush. Tell you what, it did go up another level when Monroe came into the fold. That's for sure. There was also Ted Knight always wearing the college sweatshirt. He would wear a different college sweatshirt. I got a trivia question for you. What was the name of his comic? Cosmic Cow.

There it is. I've watched an episode probably three weeks ago. I've gone to the house in San Francisco. No way. A lot of people go to the full house. Man, I didn't know you were that into the Jim Day Bullock. Love too close for comfort. Sorry.

It's gray now. It's gray. I can show you pictures, but in the TV show it was red. All right. Russell Wilson is wearing blue, big blue of the New York Giants. Yeah, I'd expect to get a starter. Come in here and be ready to rock and roll every day. to get a lead. I think this team's really looking for somebody to lead them in every way in terms of the process, you know, in the offseason, during the season, our habits and our thought process and how we create a, you know, a great winning culture. And how do we continue to establish that and to really build on things that we do well and the things that we continue to need to do.

It expects to be the starter. Now, J.J. McCarthy expects to be the starter in Minnesota. That's the message from his GM, Coizia Dofa, who confirmed today that the team did talk with Aaron Rogers and wouldn't rule out. the possibility of Rogers maybe joining the team later on this off season if he remains a free agent. But Dofamensa said today, as for McCarthy, quote, that's the outcome we want, and that's the outcome we're headed towards, end quote, when asked if McCarthy is their QB1. Kavino's Yankees became the first team in baseball to correct the $8 billion valuation mark. Forbes says that the Yankees value is at $8.2 billion entering the season. That starts tomorrow. Bucks won't have Yannas and Tedocompo tonight against the Nuggets.

Celtics, say Jason Tatum, upgraded to questionable for tonight's game against the Sons. Guys, back to you. What's up with Yanis right now? Just a foot's, foot issue, but he's... So he'd still score a 250 points against these bums in the 70s. Maybe more rest, but... Dan Byer, one of my favorite fun facts, as you said, the Yankees are evaluated at $8 billion.

The steel of the millennium, the steel of the last century, when Steinbrenner bought the Yankees for $10 million in the 70s, which was a lot. But I know. but still like $10 million in 1973, I believe so. You should have asked me how much Steinbredder bought the Yankees for. Well, just kidding.

$5.5. All right, thank you, Dan Byer. Thank you, D.B. So think about it. You know, is LeBron speaking sense? Because of course, everything LeBron says is going to be speculated upon. And it's getting a little backlash as well.

Let's make that clear because it sounds like he's punching down on previous generations. And in a way he is, but he's also being very honest. that may be a tough pill to swallow for some people, but it's also true. He's a different type of specimen that didn't exist in the 70s. Not in that way, not in this condition.

True. You know what? We'll take your feedback. Your phone calls next. Wednesday, having some fun. Kavino & Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a...

people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas,

and then I wrote down in my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything. happening at Roland Garris.

Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French, me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Man, I'll tell you what, no one's as good as Led Zeppelin until I heard audio slave play this one, which is very Led Zeppelin-esque. The evolution of life, the evolution of sports. LeBron causing some controversy again, saying that Janus would have scored 250 points a game in the 70s. And, you know, we're really based on physique, though, just on how dominant of a specimen he is. I mean, his game is also next level and he's a champion and all that.

But we're really just looking at him thinking, well, he would dominate these dudes. LeBron himself is a more dominant-looking figure than Michael Jordan. And Michael Jordan would school LeBron, in my opinion. I disagree. But anyway, really? As far as like a basketball game? Absolutely. But I don't think so.

I think he's more physically intimidating. I was going to say, we had never seen a guy like LeBron's. that big and strong run downhill. Yeah, imagine Carl Malone had LeBron's athleticism. That's the closest thing you can think of him. There's a lot of skinny dudes in the NBA. Not everyone was built like Carl Malone back in the day. I'm just saying, the Jordan-Lebron debate will be one you will never hear on the show.

But what comes up though is that generational conversation. And LeBron, when he was with McAfee, said that a guy like Janus, he said Janus would score 250 points a game now. And my thought was, LeBron's right in that so many people. parts of our world. Not just sports. Anything you do for a living, we've evolved. People come up with better, more innovative ideas to the point where it's really hard to compare generations because I think the answer, 99% of the time is it's being done better now. Yeah, but again, the game's changed. Is Joe Rogan better than Howard Stern in his prime? The game is different. No,

that's a great example. Are you a better countdown host than Casey Kasem? Different. You're right. I know that's art, though. I thought about that after we were saying the Casey Ksen thing. That's art. So it's hard to criticize. No, I know. That's why I said. I thought about it more. But any industry you could think of, there have been innovations. That's it. Let's say hi to Andre and Jackson. What's up, Andre? What's up, man? Hey, I listen to y'all talk about LeBron. LeBron is right, man. He's absolutely right. It's like three guys. that you can say that we've never seen before. Even though he'll poke, you got to throw in Kevin DeRey. We had never seen a guy seven foot like Kevin DeRead. But he'll poke, though, because he never really do nothing.

So, but we haven't seen a guy like him. I know what it made me think. A guy that could score like KD. A guy that can score. Unstoppable in any era. And when he's in his own, no one's better at times in KD. You know what it got me thinking of a meme that was like one of those fun social media debates? could one like seal six team take out the Roman Empire if it had today's weapons?

You can't compare generations. It's fun to speculate, but I mean, the Roman Empire. If I said, Camino, send in SEAL Team 6. How often a week do you think of the Roman Empire, by the way? Don't I've been thinking about a lot lately, the pyramids. Oh, yeah. I think about them at least once a day. All that fake speculation of or is it real of what's underneath the pyramids,

That's been on my mind way more than I like to admit. Every day I'm thinking like, what is down there? What was here? So good ahead. Roman Empire? If I said... How many LeBron's do you think it would take to defeat the Roman Empire? One time we had a great debate, Danny G. Let me give Danny G. our favorite one to wrap it up.

Maybe a decade ago. Not Justin Bieber now, like Teenage Bieber when he was like, baby, baby, like floppy-headed teenage Bieber. How many do you think you could beat up at the same time? Cavino used to swear that he could be of like eight Bieber's. Oh. I said eight Bieber's is my limit. I said, no, you can't beat up three.

No, I could beat up eight. They could all attack you at the same time. You'd be overwhelmed by Bebers, okay? Just like the SEAL team six would be overwhelmed by Roman soldiers after a while. It's like the game Kung Fu. I would have just kicked them all in the face as they came at me. If that bubble gum, Bieber started singing very loudly, though, I'd turn and run the other direction. It's like Popeye versus Alibaba's 40 thieves.

He just goes, psh, yep. Generational differences, guys, your feedback at Covino and Rich. more CNN and FSAR next. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care. where you hear it.
