That pull-in plate. Of course. The little arrow goes around, of course. So, anyway, thank you guys for hanging out. We will reminisce. It is Thursday, which is the new Friday, so the weekend begins now. Yeah, let me ask you. Yes, buddy boy, before we get into...

No way, show hey. Before we get into show hey, Otagia, what a ridiculous night. No way, show hey. Everything from people waiting 12 hours for a bobblehead that they would have got anyway. Before we talk about the walk-off. Are we sure about that, though? Was that ever confirmed that everyone got it? You know, I'm sure people will be putting up a fuss if they didn't.

I was saying. So we'll get to all that. But you wrote down the number, 87799 on Fox. Sure did. That's our number. And as you wrote it down, you got me thinking on a throwback Thursday. What are some of the skills that you used to have that are just obsolete now because two things come to mind from me? As you wrote that down, I feel like I was the wizard of memorizing everyone's phone number.

Girls I was dating, everyone's friend, their parents' house. You were a mental roll-a-dex of phone numbers, and then you got your first smartphone, and now you might not even know your girlfriend or wife's phone number. That's why we encourage you, get this, Fox Sports Radio Nation, we encourage everybody to use their brain because we're so quick to go to Google all the time or chat GPT for the answers.

Knowing that we have that information at our fingertips, we don't rely on our brain, and we're getting dumber by the day. Not only we're getting dumber, we're missing out on fun conversations. I hate when our video guy spot says, oh, Google. You're losing your recall. Yeah, I asked you because I'm, I don't know, having a conversation. I could look up, you know, how many Cy Young's Roger Clemens had. But guess what?

Sometimes it's fun to be like, yo, no, don't look it up. What do you think? Like, it's called using your damn brain. And I think we need to do a little more of that. But when it comes to skills that we may have had back in the day that maybe technology took over, like remembering a phone number, I recently was at a kid's birthday party with my little rugg rats. And I don't think any of the other adults, I was embarrassed for them.

Oh, no. They didn't know how to keep score in bowling. That was the skill we all had growing up. We had no choice, especially at the weak-ass bowling alley I grew up at. I grew up in Union, New Jersey. This is a true story. You put the little pencil in the ashtray and they had your little paper. You were right down the bowling school.

A huge part of my life. You know, my parents are on hold. They were in leagues. up running around. I was in a league. I would go every weekend over here. Yeah, man, I'd go Steerake. I'd go bowling every weekend.

Is it labor awesome that I've had multiple bowling balls as a kid? Remember you get your name engraved in it? Of course. And, you know, the trick was a white crayon. Or yellow, whatever color you want. But if you did a white crayon and then waxed it off, oh, it looked mint. Meaning if your name's engraved, it would get dirty and wear out over time. so you just refilled it in with the wax of the cram.

But anyway, yeah, I love bowling. Shout out to Pete Weber and Dick. I'm a big bowling fan. And, yeah, keeping score was just part of the skill set. And you would have that overhead projector and that weak-ass paper they would give you. Because it wasn't always on regular paper. It was that projector paper. Projector.

It was like a transparency. Or a transparent paper. You're right. And I went to a bowling alley growing up. Those would get hot too. And it was so weak, Sam, that there was a strip club connected to it. An all-nuty strip club. That sounds like a blast.

I'll say weak. That sounds like, uh, yeah. It was called hot 22. Bowling alley strip. Be sure where your fingers are going. Yeah, seriously. I'd be there all night. I was going to say, that sounds like, uh, that's way better one than, what do they combine,

like a KFC and a Taco Bell or something? Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. KFC and Pizza Hut. That's a way better. But I'm not even kidding you. Like that was the scene. But man, keeping score is what we did because we didn't have the, obviously the monitors and all the computers that do it for you now. And you could say the same.

You always make the funny reference. Hey, if you're keeping score at home, announcers would say that because there would be people that would keep baseball score. I mean, some people still do that at the game with the program. I don't know. Have you seen anyone by a program? I've been to plenty of games over the last decade. The idea of that guy that speaks like he's from the 1920s, program, get your program here. He puts on that accent.

Get your here. Programs? I mean, I would enjoy that as a kid. You'd write in the lineup. You'd get to the ballpark. You'd be like, oh, Lenny Dykstra's battings. He's leading off. You would write it in. You would keep score.

You go to your kid's little league game now. They put the mom in charge with an app on their iPad and people don't keep score anymore. There's teams that don't even make program. any longer. That's sad. If to download it from the internet. Because I asked a guy at Dodger Stadium, I'm like, how'd you even get that? He downloaded it.

So two forgotten sports skills, keeping bowling score. Get your program here. 20 chance for a program. A baseball card, you know, a baseball score, the score card. And how about this? I think you and I do this more than the average fellow, and I struggle. Rich and I write a lot. But as I get older, I notice my handwriting is,

just for the birds, dude. I can't even read my own handwriting at the time. So people that don't write as often as we do, you have to imagine. They're forgetting how to write. And they're not even teaching kids cursive really anymore. And if you don't use it, you lose it. The Yankees actually did a bid on this recently,

and they asked people to spell the Yankees in cursive. And these dudes didn't know how to do it. They didn't know how to do it. It's a lost art. That's insane. Yeah. They didn't know. They didn't know how to do it at all.

But if time goes on, you're not writing anything really ever. Here and there, you're on your computer all the time or texting somebody. Your handwriting just gets worse and worse. But, you know, there are some things that I usually tend to lean towards the newer technology. But, again, our video guy spot every so often he's like, want me to get you guys some, like, touch screens that you could type on for your notes? And I'm like, no, I like to write my notes for the show. do. It takes longer, though. Priorities change and things change along the way.

Like, you know, some people don't even know how to bend the brim of their hat because for years, people weren't bending the brim of their hat. And that lost art became a thing. Now it's coming back. Like, give me that. I'll bend it for you. You think I don't know how to round out a brim of a hat? Or Rich didn't even know how to break in a glove. He's asking everyone around the office, how do you break in a glove? I'm like, you never broke a glove in? Get the hell out of here. That is not true. That's not true. That's not true. Well, you know what? Where's Warner Wolf? Back to the videotape. You were asking everyone that was willing to listen.

The best way to break into a baseball man. Well, no, no, see, that's completely different than what you just said. I said, what's the best way? Because the last time I broke in a glove, I was using rubber bands, oil, putting it under my mattress or, like, the recliner in the living room. Nowadays, that you bring up to Dick's sporting goods, they bring into the back and put in some steaming machine. And, you know, there's shark tank items where kids are wrapping it with, like, you know,

a rubber glove of sorts. So I know how to do it. I'm just saying there's new ways to do everything. And I just bought my daughter a new glove. And I was thinking, like, do I go old school? Rub a little oil in that bad boy? Put it under the couch? What do you do?

It depends what kind of glove you're getting? If you're getting a really high-end glove, it's going to need some breaking in. But they make these soft leather gloves for these kids nowadays where they don't have to do that. We didn't have that option when we were kids. I prefer that as a coach because all these little kids have little weak hands. If you're coaching like six and seven-year-olds,

you need to give them those crappy, like, almost plasticy gloves. Yeah, but you know, Rich, we're kind of coming off a little, like, high brown here. Like, man, like, we don't do these things anymore. How could you be so dumb? You and I don't know how to really do a tie because we don't have to. We didn't grow up in a time where we had to do it all the time. Like, do you really know how to do it?

It's like a lost art. I have to get someone else. I'd be like, Dan Byer, can you do my tie for me? If we went to a formal event, the knot of my tie would be so crappy that I probably would. I would be able to do it, but you know what I would likely do? I'd be like, yeah, oh, Dad, can you do my tie for me? And then he'd slip it out over his head and hand it to me like I'm a schoolboy. I actually saw Stephen A fixing Mad Dog's tie on TV the other day.

I would actually saddle up behind you. Oh, yes, yes, do it that way. Yes. Thanks, Dad. A bear hug around you. Oh, that's so funny. Teach me how to shave, Dad. You know, I don't want to be like, oh, these generations today don't know how to take a bowling score.

We don't know how to. We don't know how to do our own oil because we don't have to. Yeah, there's skills like that. Like, anytime we have that conversation, my goodness, people will hate on me because I'm like, I don't know how to change my own oil. Why would I have to? Most cars now, they don't recommend you do it yourself. And you don't have to change your oil every couple thousand miles like back in the day.

Some cars you could go, you know, years without changing your oil. Yeah, we didn't grow up in that culture of tinkering with your car either. So I guess this is where ADD radio gets you because we're going to get to show hey in a second. I saw you writing down the phone number and it made me think that just one of those skills, like back in the day. Well, it's not that I don't know it. I can name anyone of the... You know, I like to visually have it here written down when I shout it out. You can name anyone of your childhood friends and like there's something about you that you used to

still could probably shout out those kids' phone numbers. Yet, you don't know anyone's number in this room except mine, maybe because we've known each other pre-cell phones. Pre-smart phones. Do you remember your original childhood phone number? Of course. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to call it up, see who answers. I have a movie concept, Dan, where I call my childhood phone number, and it's me.

And it's like some sci-fi, like time travel. Rod Sterling probably did that already, bro. Hello? Yeah, it's rich. Yeah, hold on. Gary Carter's batting. What? It's rich in 1986.

What's going on? And that's like, I don't know if it's a comedy or a suspense thriller. Sure. I'm still working on it. I'm intrigued for the next hour and 47 minutes. I got minute one out of the way. It's a black mirror episode. Would there be a tear in the universe as Doc Brown alludes to?

I don't know, right? A time shift continuum in the paradox of the universe. Hey, hold on. Would it be called Landline? Would that be the movie? Landline? Yes. Hey, wait, little Ritchie, don't hang up.

Yes. what's mom making? Oh, that's shaking baked pork chops. It's true. Must be you. And the Oscar goes to landline, Rich Davis. The truth is the more reliant. You can tie my tie the night of the Oscars.

The more reliant we are on other people, on technology, the less, the more inept you become as a result. And that's just the fact. We don't need to keep score anymore. We have a computer that does it. We don't need to. remember things. We have a phone that does. And you know, the best example of that is, and we'll take a couple phone calls, and again, we'll move on to baseball, but navigation,

we are all severely, like, you know, we, we, our capacity to know where things are now, Kavino, you've lived in California quite a while. You don't know where certain towns are, because I don't either. I know this. Because you know why? Hey, Kavino, we need you to go to this event in Santa Clarita. You'll be like, okay. Then you just pop it in your navigation and hope it's not that far. I know that's outside the valley, just outside. You don't even know. So again, yeah, I mean, things change. But I remember, I try to remember most phone numbers, Rich, back to the original thought.

87799 on Fox. Again, I hope you had a show, hey, showtime type of night. And my thought here is, again, that's what superstars do. This is greatness, right, front of us, a bona fide superstar. One could argue and I don't think it's an argument. Actually, if you're the one arguing, I just think you want to debate somebody and you're trying to be contrarian because he's the biggest star, the biggest star in sports. By far right now, there is no debate, especially when you factor in the international fame that he's got. All right, hold on now. There's no debate. Repeat that. Shohei Otani, especially after a walk-off home run on his own bobblehead night, MVP

bobblehead night, is doing what superstars do. The flare for the impossible, the flare for the big moment, the guy hitting a walk-off on his night. He proves over and over again that he's the biggest star in sports in the world. Period. Give me the biggest NBA star right now. Who would that be in your mind? Biggest star in the world. LeBron James.

Just by name alone. By name only, yeah. He's still playing. He's the biggest star. Biggest star. He's at the mall. The mall's closing down type of star. Biggest star in the National Football League.

Patrick Mahomes? Yes. That's a fair answer. You know, you could debate these things, though. I think you could debate all of those things. You could debate that, no, it's Steph Curry or no, it's whatever. You cannot debate Shohei Otani. That's the point.

Biggest star in Hot Doggety? And that's why it's so great for baseball. You have a guy like Aaron Judge, who honestly is, his numbers are circus numbers. They're like Herman Munster numbers, Aaron Judge. Every time he hits the ball, it goes 560 feet. Yet Shohei is such a massive superstar. Like, Judge has to take a back seat to the superstardom of Shohei Otani. It's unbelievable.

And you know the difference? Aaron Judge dropped the ball in the World Series. Yeah. Unfortunately. He'll redeem himself. Show Hey Otani. Calm, cool, collected. Walk off with a smile.

Never a doubt. That's what superstars do. And it's done without really any commercial push. Because there's a language barrier. Yeah. So it's not like he's in every commercial that you see. Like maybe Patrick Mahomes seemingly was for a while. LeBron will be special on HBO, this and that.

He's here, there, and everywhere, commercials, movies. And it's all based on performance, which is pretty amazing. Yeah, you're right. There's nothing. And you know what they be? You nailed it. Because what's his weakness? Dude could run.

Dude could throw. He's hitting bombs. Interpreters. There's nothing. That's his script tonight. There's nothing manufactured. Nothing, man. It's incredible.

About the star that is Shoha Tani. That's a great point where everything is based on. And he's at that level. Purely his skill in the batters box, on the mound, in every situation. He's in rare company. Rich, I don't know if this is debatable. Ready? I don't know if anyone said this yet.

But he is at the level of like a Michael Jordan. If not there already, he's getting there. The more and more we see moments like this. And here's why I say that. I wasn't a Bulls fan. I'm not from Chicago. But every kid under the moon wanted to be like Mike. every kid, if you like sports, had a Jordan poster, you were Michael Jordan's, meaning

he transcended city, he transcended rooting interest. He was just great and we embrace greatness, right? So I think Shohei Otani is like on that level of like, it doesn't matter who you root for. I'm a Yankees fan. I'm embracing this dude and what he's doing every day because of greatness. If the Dodgers win back to back world series, which would be the first. which would be the first team to do it since the Yankees in the late 90s. It's been 25 years. If the Dodgers win back to back and Otani just has another bananas year where he goes 50-50, you know, hitting 300 coming up in the postseason, I would put him in that level of Michael Jordan.

I don't see why you won it. I feel like we're one big championship or one more one more accomplished away from this. He's internationally famous in every Latino. country in every Asian country in the United States. He's internationally known. Michael Jordan, basketball wasn't big everywhere when he was big. So, and again, but a worldwide brand eventually, but that's the difference with Shohei.

I think we're really underestimating and undermining the greatness that we're witnessing. And petty reasons to root against them are going to be put aside. I don't want to see the Dodgers win. No offense, Danny G. But I do enjoy watching this guy. He's so like him. And it's the same way that I always admitted, even though my favorite NFL team is in the AFC West, I still like Patrick Mahomes. He was likable.

And Shohei's the same way. And the one thing that's already Jordanesque about Shohei is that it was awesome that he hit the walk off on his bobblehead night, but it was not surprising. Watching in the post Dodgers game show on Spectrum TV, they were saying 33 minutes ago, I predicted Chohei was going to do it. But I think a lot of people watching were like, watch, watch. Show Hay's going to win this. When it was tied up 5-5, thanks to Max Muncie, a lot of us were like, okay, watch what show hey is going to do. And that's what we expected of Michael Jordan, too.

We knew he was going to hit the game winner. Because superstars, right? There are stars, and then there's superstars. And we abused the term superstars. We overuse it. Superstars rise to the occasion, right? And they live for that occasion. And Rich, there's like a science behind it where the moment slowed down for these

superstars. And I know you don't agree with what I'm about to say, but there's two other people that had this, this characteristic about them. Don't ruin the conversation. No, no, no. I'm not saying they're superstars, but they had this quality. Okay. One of them's Big Poppy. If you don't think he had the flare for the dramatic, you're out of your mind. And the other one is Derek Jeter, whether you like him or not. The dude had too many of those Shohei type moments where it wasn't coincidence. Like, every time it mattered, the guy came through. And that's the difference. Shohei is one of those guys.

That's why it was odd to see Patrick Mahomes fall so flat in the World's in the Super Bowl because you wouldn't have expected that from him because you had him in superstar at a superstar level category. I think what we're seeing with Shohei is a once in a lifetime thing. I'm stating the obvious rich because we already compared him to Babe Ruth. But I think his star is going to be bigger than Jordans. He just needs a cool sneaker to accompany it. International language barrier yet still.

the biggest name in sports. All right, your thoughts, your, well, the question is, biggest star in sports in the world right now, if you want to debate it, by all means, get ahead. Travis Kelsey, because he's dating Taylor Swift. Not a chance. I'm just starting out there.

I mean, no, it's fun. It's the top 10 name recognition. Your thoughts, if it's not Otani, then who is it? There's not a boxer. There's not a UFC fighter. You know, Caitlin Clark's top 10 or 20 in the conversation, but does anyone really care about women's basketball?

My argument is like probably not. Someone's on the edge of their seat or in their car right now. And they're like, Ronaldo or some soccer dude. Yeah. And that would be a fair answer, especially if you go to social media and you see the. Massey. Yeah, they got circus numbers double like Kim Kardashian numbers. So I get it.

That's a fair assessment. But I would argue that Shohei is that guy. All right. Your thoughts will get to your feedback next. Show Hey, biggest star in the world or not? Plus we'll go old school, pay a little tribute to Val Kilmer, and the great music in movie history. All next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

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. Well, 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 on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.

Listen, Lina Rubakina 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.

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.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this plant to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings, from...

entirely different worlds. Just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

get something nice. Did you see that? You got that MLB collection. Last night, the Shohei Otani Bumblehead night. There were special limited edition. There were special ones where the bat was a different color. And there were people not putting them up on eBay. I didn't know.

People still buy things on eBay. $900 to $1,000 to some of these special. I did recently, actually. You put something on eBay? Yeah. What do you sell? I have an M Sport BMW, right? Yeah.

And does that sound? Dushy because it's not meant to. Well, 100%. I mean, what do I say? It explains my purchase, so there's no way to get around it. I guess I could have said I bought license plate covers and like caps from my tires, but they were

specific. For my M3sport. Yeah, but they say M3 on it. I was going for the detail. eBay, eBay, huh? It's a three series. It's not a brag. Trust me. I want a nicer car. I'm working hard for it. Next contract. You know, I got a Bentley keychain

recently from Amazon. For my... I just need the car. For my Honda Civic. Yeah, it was not meant to sound douchey at all. Yeah, guess what? It really wasn't. But anyway, we're

Kvino and Rich. That's Danny G. Superproducing at 87799 on Fox. We got Iowa Sam on the ones and twos. D.B.'s Got your updates, but Rich, as Shoah continues to impress, and we hear on the show say, he's the biggest thing we've seen, not since

sliced bread since Michael Jordan. And that's the truth. He is surpassing Jordan, in my opinion. He just doesn't have a hit shoe yet that we are all jumping on. But he'll get there. I saw that ESPN who doesn't even care about baseball like we do. Yeah. How embarrassing that ESPN on their app move baseball like down the like below like the WMBA? No, they have hot dog eating before baseball now.

Meanwhile, baseball is like the hottest thing going. It's ridiculous. But they ranked the top 100 MLB players. Now, Shohei, I'm saying biggest in sports, but do you want to know who they say the top 10 baseball players are? I thought it was interesting. Can I see how many I could get? I'm going to just list off a few.

I want to see if it in top 10. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Ready? And I'm starting with the number one because it's so damn obvious. Shohei Otani. Showhei Otani's number one. Number two.

Look, in a countdown, you usually start from number 10. But number one, Shohei. You are no Casey Kasem or Spider-Harrison. Starting with number one. Coming to at number two, Spider-Harrison. How about just based on his performance yesterday and the hype, Paul Skeens? No. Is he in the top 10?

He's got to be. How about him? Ron Soto. No. That's what's great about this. Mookie Betts. No, beat it. Number two.

Coming to number two, Bobby Witt, Jr. Dude, he's nasty and he just might be. This might be his ear. You see the plays his dudes, Megan? Of course, I'm a Yankees fan, but you got to give your props to Bobby Witt Jr. Coming in number three, Mookie bats, dude.

Nice. And think about it. Just another flare for the dramatic, athleticism, just a big time player. I can't argue how great it is. And he's a small dude. Did you see what they posted on, I think I could say this.

They posted the, Mookie got hit by a pitch. Did you see this? And they're saying it's the zestiest hit by pitch ever. Like he puts his, back here, I'm like, oh. That's so funny. Looks a little suspicious.

Hey, so Mookie, clear superstar. Otani, Bobby Wood Jr. Judge and Soto got to be next back and back to back. And also take this because we're basically glazing, as the kiddies say, Shohei Otani. But he is the best in a time where there's so many great superstars. He still leaps and bounds a bigger superstar than all these people. Yeah.

So you got Shohei Witt Jr. Mookie Betts number three. Aaron Judge at number four. That's fair. Skeens at number five. Jose Ramirez at number six. Jose Ramirez over Juan Soto. Jordan Alvarez at number seven.

Your boy, Juan Soto, at eight, which I loved because I was hoping he didn't make the top ten at all. Oh, that's good because he likes him, Pete. But he likes doubters. Yeah, but I was surprised they had him rank so low. But, you know, whatever. At nine, Zach Wheeler and at 10, Scoobel. So that's your top. Top 10 according to ESPN.

What do they know? I do also want to point out that Rich named three of those guys and every time Kvina goes, no, no, no. But you said skeens, right? You had schemes, so don't. Betts. No, no, no, you're not even listening. No, no, no. I nailed the list.

You know what I would have got wrong though? I would have thought that based on reputation and big player, Bryce Harper, huh? Not on the list. Not in the top 10, according to ESPN. I mean, lists are made to be discussed. So call me crazy. I love Zach. I think he's a great pitcher.

Former New York met, Philadelphia, Philly. But Zach Wheeler, top 10 player in the game? Saw young candidate every year, but Zach, it's really. They have Bryce Harper at number 11. It's funny you say that. I'm going to say. Wrong. Freddie Freeman at number 12.

So you listen to these names, guys. You realize like this is the weakest analogy. Are you saying it's a baseball renaissance? I was going to give you the weakest analogy. Remember in the 90s when they called it the Disney Renaissance? Because Disney hadn't done dittily squat since Pinocchio. until like beauty and the beast. And then all of a sudden it was Aladdin and Lion King.

A mermaid and everything else, right? Baseball, as far as I see it, hasn't done anything since Derek Jeter, in my opinion. Now you got Freddie Freeman, Vladdy Jr., Gunner Henderson, Fernando Tattice, Lindor. Like, the names are endless. And Shohei is still a star, a superstar amongst the stars. No digity, no doubt. It is. It's the baseball and renaissance. Enjoy it. Enjoy it like you enjoyed Lion King and Little Mermith.

Just like you enjoyed Poghanas. All right, let's go to Dan Byer for an update. DB. What's up, my friend? Guys, we start out with Major League Baseball where the Astros are leading the twins 4 to 2 right now playing in the bottom of the fifth inning in Minneapolis. Earlier today, the Red Sox doubled up the Orioles 8-4. Alex Bregman is first home run in a Red Sox uniform while Kyle Schwabers sit four home runs now on the season.

Homeering today in the Phillies. 3-1 win against the Rockies. USC's Juju Watkins was named the Associated Press, women's college basketball player of the year. Final four for the women come up tomorrow on Saturday. It's national semifinals in the men's game. And All-American Jani Broom practice today for Auburn. Grizzly's guard John Morant won't be suspended

for mimicking the firing of a gun during Tuesday's game against the Warriors. Golden State Warriors' guard, Buddy Heald, also made similar actions. Both were given warnings. the NBA told ESPN while the actions were inappropriate. They believe both players weren't violent in nature. Nix could be getting Jalen Brunson back soon. NBA insider Chris Haynes says Brunson will practice on Friday with the possibility of playing Saturday against the Hawks.

Sixers are shutting Tyrese maxi down for the season because of his finger injury. And now in the NFL, Tray McBride is the highest paid tight end in the game. Four-year extension from the Cardinals were $76 million. Raiders are giving Gino Smith a two-year extension. Now Fox Sports insider Jordan Schultz says it's worth $85.5 million with $66.5 million guaranteed. Other spots are saying it's a $75 million to-year extension. Cowboys acquired Patriots backup quarterback Joe Milton in a trade early Thursday.

Patriots getting a fifth rounder. Cowboys get Milton and a seventh rounder. Guys, back to you. Thank you, D.B. I'm glad the NBA didn't overreact to the air gun. only because like you remember in the postseason in the NFL, I won't remember a wide receiver did like first down with like, it happened a few times.

Yeah. And I remember it being a penalty. And I'm like, Cereda, come on. Really? We're going to let that dictate 15 yards in a playoff game. Come on now. Well, that player probably hasn't had gun related instances like John Morant's

had. That's the real story with Morant. But what I love about Adam Silver. I feel bad for Shooter McGavin moving forward. Happy Gilmore 2 is going to be a struggle for that guy. I do think that something we. lose a lot in not just sports, like life. You and I always talk about it.

Intent. Like that's, you and I were talking off the year about children cursing. Like, if your kid curses because they're being disrespectful or bullying another kid or being mean, that's bad. But if your kids, you know, stubs their tone, they're like, oh, you know, schnikes. Are you really going to get that mad? Like, everything's intent. I think so many people forget intent.

That's all. DB, you're a man. Thank you. Now, coming up, we're going to go old school when 50 hits. Turn away from sports for a second to pay tribute to a guy that everyone, you know, realizes maybe more than they thought was a big part of their childhood. Val Kilmer, who passed away at the age of 65. And we're going to talk about great music in movies. And, of course, some more baseball, more NBA as we get closer.

The Western Conference is tight. Tonight's a big one. Lakers Warriors. All that coming up, Kavino and Rich. Tires Matter. the only part of your vehicle that touches the road.

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. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did 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. Well, 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.

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 don't. 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. Jenshin won. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.

She's an outsider to win the French for 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.

What's that? You know who had that mojo? Besides Jim Morrison? Val Kilmer. He was more Jim Morrison than Jim Morrison. He looked more like Jim Morrison than Jim Morrison. We're going to talk about Val Kilmer in a few minutes when we go old school, but let me just give you a couple pieces of advice.

Why don't you give me a... Go ahead. What were you going to say? I don't know. Number one, don't look at your 401K today. Don't do that. Didn't plan on it. Is it terrifying?

Good one. I was Sam. Play the rim shot on yourself. I mean, it's so good. I'll tell you what, that is a great pun now. I'll give him that one. It's terrifying. He still needs to play the rim shot.

Dude, like, your eyes aren't deceiving. Hopefully this is nice bounce back. I'm not your financial advisor, but there's going to come a point where it's like a nice time to bump into your, you know, into your funds. Like, ooh, now money to be made. But hey, don't look at your 401K. Don't pitch to show Hey, Otani when the game is tied in the last inning. Don't do that.

And any other advice? Oh, can't do it. Don't doubt Yokic moving forward. We saw the great performance the other night. Danny, during the break, we were talking about how effortless he looks. And we forget it was only a couple years ago the Nuggets won the NBA title. And we're not including them in many of these conversations. Yeah.

I mentioned that one of the other things that makes the great elite is, and a lot of them have this trait, where it looks like they're not even trying as hard as the other players. Like it's just in their blood. Like you think back to the way Larry Bird just effortly used to shoot the ball. Same with Jordan with the game winners. And Shohei, the way he's up at the bat and he just swings effortlessly. And you could say the same thing for the Joker. Brenda was watching that double overtime game with me the other night.

and when he hit that clutch three, the way he shoots over his head, especially, there looks like he has no athleticism whatsoever, but the shots all go in. And it looks like he's just jokingly shooting the ball. And now the big debate is Shaq or Yokic, that's the big social media debate. But one last thing on Otani, then we'll go old school. I think a layer of it is that while he isn't a guy you hear much from because of the language barrier,

We're not hearing this guy do like charismatic pre and post game things. How charming. Like this might be like all, as the kids would say, this is like top level Riz. This guy's the Rizzler with his bow to every opposing manager. Like is there not something so charming when he has a smile and he and he just does his little bow to the opposing team? Like there's such a class, charming, likeability, Otani, biggest superstar in sports today. He's outdoing himself. you know, every date or something. It's crazy.

A walk off on your own bobblehead night. Again, we're Covino and Rich live from the Tyrak.com studio. Remember, after the show, our podcast goes up. So if you miss any of today's show, hey, glazing, be sure to listen to the podcast. To search Covino and Rich, wherever you get your podcast. Be sure to follow rate and review. Give us five stars.

What we're going to do right here is go back. Back into time. Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old school when 50 hits. At 50 after, CNNR give you the time capsule topic, and we reminisce together. Yeah. I love it. A little throwback action every Thursday.

People love reminiscing. People love the old school. Because you're an old fool. And you know what? I was Sam, you inspired me. I wanted to talk about movie music today because it's National Movie Score Day and there's so many great songs and soundtracks that make movies. We'll get to that.

But at the end of yesterday's show, Iowa Sam was like, man, it's a bummer. We only spent like a minute on. Can I tell you what I know what Sam did? He said we only spent a minute on a man that meant so much to us. I know. You know, we had a heartfelt conversation about the late great Val Kilmer, rest in peace of 65. We're going to honor him on old school and 50 hits. Think about movies with the best music, scores, and soundtrack.

We're going to take your phone calls next. But I was talking to Sam yesterday. Don't worry, Sam. I'm not going to give any names. Sam's like, man, I didn't realize you were such a Val Kilmer guy. So cool that Kavino and Rich, you guys got to interview him. What was it like? He meant so much to me.

So Sam was really putting his heart out there. Like, man, I can go on all day on how many movies I love from Val. What's your favorite? and one of our colleagues long jumped and leaped right into the middle of this conversation and he said, Kavino, those torpedo bats, am I right? You know Sam dismissed him with great authority and said, hey man, I'm trying to have a real serious conversation about Val Kilmer.

He goes, I swear to you, he goes, not to be rude, but this conversation could wait. I'm talking to Kavino right now. And I was like, yeah, I was like, who was it? Who was it? Who was it? Who was it? No, God, who was it? Underscores approaches and he's like, hey, Kuvino, how about them torpedo bats?

And I'm like, um, uh, blank, um, we're talking about Val Kilmer here. Oh, dude. And then you went to get the guy and his, it handled it with grace. No, he handled it with grace. So he wasn't like, I'm sorry. He was like, I'm sorry. He wasn't like offended or anything. He just like, you know, he's like, yeah, or whatever.

But man, Sam gave him the scramma, lemma ding dong. We're talking here, like adults. We're talking. It was wild to see. But I didn't, I didn't really. I don't know. I didn't know what to think of it, but we're going to give you the proper time right now. So Val Kilmer,

movie music, a lot of fun next right here. Kavino and Rich. 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. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
