Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Another podcast from some SNL, 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, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Starting point is 00:00:23 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast.

We're here. We made it. In for Colin Cowherd on the Herd. Oh, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:02:07 I've been here. You've been here. You're flying by the seat of your pants here. It's the CNR show. In for Colin on the herd. I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis. Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
Starting point is 00:02:19 It's a pleasure. Always a pleasure. The most interactive, most inclusive show on radio, according to us. Begin. So, call in 818, 907,00062. And at Covino Enrich, at Fox Sports. radio, so we have lots to get to.
Starting point is 00:02:33 We're going to throw it back on this Thursday. It's already Thursday's the new Friday, so the weekend begins today. We're going to talk about your missed moments in sports. Maybe you had a ticket, maybe he decided not to go. Maybe it was a superstar in your town, and you missed it along the way. You blow it. Again, old school when 50 hits on the clock, when 50 hits in life, we throw it back again. We talk about the worst rip-offs, the poor man's blank.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Oh, the Wish versions. Yes, the T-Moo versions of Blank. But Rich, I want to say again, good day and good morning. We're live in L.A. And I want to start the show by saying, well, welcome to the studio. Dude, it was one of those mornings. No one wants to hear someone else talk about traffic, so I'll spare you. But L.A. traffic is no joke.
Starting point is 00:03:23 People talk about it. They don't live here. Yeah, you know what they do, they prepare for it. But when you're thrown off into a different schedule, you don't keep it mind sometimes. Rich isn't normally driving on the 101 at this time to make it to the herd. Ryan, who works with the herd every day. Ryan, usually when we do our afternoon show,
Starting point is 00:03:43 15 to 20 minutes from my house to the Fox Sports Radio Studio. Today, I drop my daughter off 7.45. I'm like, hey, maybe I'll stop and get a cup of coffee, head over there. Put in the ways. I haven't tried Google Maps. I'm like, this must be wrong. There's no way it's going to take an hour and 20 minutes to get here. hour 20 and I pulled a real a hole move
Starting point is 00:04:07 I drove on the shoulder of the road for like a half a mile just to get to the Fox Sports Radio exit I'm like if I get pulled over what am I going to say officer I'm filling in for Colin Coward he's like yeah yeah whatever I hate that guy
Starting point is 00:04:19 extra ticket for you I will say if you don't pull the shoulder move you would have been late and not made the start of the show you know what Ryan so if you get pulled over it doesn't really matter You had only everything to gain. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:33 He would have ended up at the same result. I think you not done it. He did what he was supposed to do. Look, we work in radio, and that's one of the golden rules. You're not late for radio. Consider us a little old school. You know how weaniels just show up and want to leave whenever they want? That's not how radio works.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Like that girl that's been viral on TikTok and Instagram this week, complaining that I have to work 40 hours a week Monday through Friday? What? Yeah, exactly. We're a little old school. Listen, never late for a radio show. This is as close as I may have ever cut it. And listen.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And when Rich just cut it, he means the cheese. He had the nervous farts, the whole ride here in hopes to make it on time. Let me tell you. We're going to get to all your NFL and NBA. We're going to get to all the sports, filling in for Colin. But if you don't know, Kavino and Rich, hey, nice to meet you. We're from the East Coast originally. And I have one quick 30-second story.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Won't take up your time. We'll get into it. But when I lived in New York, I worked at a pop radio station, Z-100, big I-heart station. And I was in my early 20s. So I was just lucky enough to be working there on the air. And if you know New York City, the tunnels are trash. Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel.
Starting point is 00:05:46 There was construction by a tunnel, and I was about to be late for a radio shift. And I was like 22. I'm like, I'm going to get fired. I cut around all these construction cones and got stopped by a cop. no joke I cried I was like I'm gonna lose my job I'm in my early 20s and I blew it
Starting point is 00:06:06 I blew this opportunity and the cop NYPD Port Authority police looks at me and goes you're effing pathetic just go wow you must have been showing a lot of leg that day or cleavage I don't know what was going on I can't believe they let you off like that little nip poke out you were wearing your John Stockton shorts
Starting point is 00:06:23 or something but hey welcome thanks for dealing with us for the first 10 minutes five minutes. Let's get into it. Yeah, let me give you a little recap on something we discussed yesterday, filling in for the great Dan Patrick show. Consider us fill in Frank this week. Normally we're on 2 to 4 on the West Side, 5 to 7, Monday through Friday here on Fox Sports Radio.
Starting point is 00:06:44 So definitely join us and check out our podcast to search Kavino and Rich. But this week, crazy week, I guess. So filling in for Dan Patrick, which means it throws off our whole schedule. Now, let's make it very clear. Not complaining, just explaining. When you gotta do Dan Patrick's show, you gotta wake up at like 4.30 in the morning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:06 And we're just not used to that because we're on in the afternoon. But again, it's always fun. It's always a pleasure to talk to new people and fill in and do our thing. So when your schedule is thrown off like that, sometimes you like to go home and take a nap. A little nappy nap. You're throwing off the rest of the day.
Starting point is 00:07:28 you're sort of tired the rest of the day because, well, you couldn't fall asleep early the night before. And that's what happens. So my sister's in town. Get this. My sister's in town from the East Coast. She's rarely ever out here on the West Coast visiting. And she brought her little daughter. And, you know, my other sister was here with her kids.
Starting point is 00:07:49 And, of course, I got a teenage daughter. And they were all going to Disney World. I'm sorry, Disneyland. Yeah, get your Disney, right? Disneyland. yesterday because again here visiting and I was debating on the Dan Patrick show yesterday sort of a life conundrum a sort of life work balance pickle that everybody deals with right you got to find that balance and I was saying look my sisters are taking my daughter to Disneyland
Starting point is 00:08:19 today and everyone's going to Disneyland but do I go after the show or do I just stay at home and relax and prepare for the herd and just call it a day. And so many people chimed in and called. And I got to tell you, it was a really cool conversation because I was surprised to see the feedback. And I'll tell you, my daughter did say, Dad, I'd love for you to come so we could go on the roller coasters together. And she's at that age where how many years left do I really have for my 14-year-old
Starting point is 00:08:53 daughter to want to hang with her dad at all? I'm surprised she still wants to hang with her dad at all. Exactly. You know, when I was 14, I did not want to hang my parents. I wanted to hang with my girlfriend. So she's like, Dad, if you could come and I'm thinking, but yeah, I could just chill out after the Dan Patrick show, kick my feet up and just enjoy the rest of my day. While my sisters and my daughter, they all have a great day in Disneyland. I saw Big Mike who runs this place, right? You know Big Mike who runs this place. He said, he's one of the big mics. Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson. Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Big Mike that runs this.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah, yeah. He says, man, let me tell you. He's like, if I could go back in time and do that with my daughter because she's all grown up now, I would do it in a heartbeat. He gave you that routine. He gave me that guilt trip. Is he a TikTok video? Your kids are only...
Starting point is 00:09:44 And then I went to Twitter and I saw the feedback from Fox Sports Radio Nation and all the Dan Patrick listeners and everybody listens to the herd. And they were like, yo, dude, you got to go. Suck it up. You know, the kids are only there. and they're only little once. Go there, meet them at Disneyland. But I was thinking by the time I get there,
Starting point is 00:10:01 park and everything else, spend $300 on tickets, they're going to be ready to go home and I wasted all my money. The long short of it, Rich, is I decided to go. I took your advice, Fox Sports Radio Nation, Big Mike's guilt trip.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And I had my daughter's voice in my ear. Dad, just come. We'll go on the Incredit coaster. I drove there, and I drove there, and I, I met my family, and we had a blast. See? And it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I told you. It's the old lazy guy routine versus being a yes man. It happens all the time with tickets, too. Like, hey, I got an extra ticket to the Lakers game. Or, hey, you're down for Dodgers Giants Tuesday night? And when your buddy presents you with those scenarios, it goes through your head. Do I want to be the guy that says yes? and yeah, it gets in your car, gets in traffic, goes to the game.
Starting point is 00:10:59 What do you say? I think I'm just going to sit in my ass at home. Well, I'm glad he said that because that's exactly where I was going with this. That's my personal update from yesterday. We went on every roller coaster. You know, I was fun uncle Steve. I was the funcle yesterday. My daughter was having a blast.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Situations were perfect. You know, when you want things to go well, sometimes the kids are in a bad mood. They start having a tantrum. You know, maybe there's a long. line or the Indiana Jones ride breaks down. Something goes wrong. It starts to rain. Everything was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And I was so glad I decided to go and I was there all night, had a blast. But it is about saying yes. How many times is your buddy reach out on a random Wednesday? He's like, yo, dude, you want to go to the Kings game? Hey, man, you want to go to the athletics game tonight? And you're like, you're thinking, no, no one says that. No one says you want to go to the athletics game today. Well, I'm trying to downplay the.
Starting point is 00:11:55 No one. I'm trying to downplay the offer. I don't know. And you're thinking, not really, man. I think the offer would be like, could I pay you to come to the A's game? It's like, you're thinking, I was sort of hoping to catch up on love is blind tonight and be late. It's so easy to be lazy and I'm great at being lazy, guys. I really am and I want to be lazy.
Starting point is 00:12:14 But I said yes, and it made all the difference. So the point here in bringing this up was not only to give you the recap and to let you know how it went. But to also remind you, the next time your buddy does hit you, up with that concert ticket or that ball game or you know what happens to me i'm not that big of a hockey fan a buddy will reach out and he'll say dude you want to go and the first instinct i have is not really maybe moving forward based on the story this reminder this lesson you do say yes and on the flip side of it hadn't i gotten that nudge rich the nudge from big mike the nudge from all the tweets the listeners of Fox Sports Radio that said,
Starting point is 00:12:55 dude, your kid and your nieces and nephew, they're only young once, your sisters in town, go. Hadn't my daughter said, Dad, please just come, we'll have fun. I probably wouldn't have. So I think if you have a reluctant friend, that little nudge, I'm not saying pressure. Pressure is the weakest.
Starting point is 00:13:17 But that little nudge sometimes is what people need. So the reminder here based on my story, Sometimes you got to give a nudge And on the flip side Be willing to say yes There's always more opportunity in being the yes man Yeah You never know what you're going to meet
Starting point is 00:13:32 You never know what you're going to see I had a buddy who has the classic story of Missed a great game Because he was just being a lazy ass Back in the day I was in high school My buddy's dad Said
Starting point is 00:13:44 I got tickets to the Yankees game Do you want to go My buddy a mess fan Said Nah Yeah but Doc Gooden's pitching I still don't want to go he didn't go
Starting point is 00:13:56 turns on the game at home because he hears ooh good and's throwing a no hitter he missed a no hitter just sitting on his butt at home doing nothing because it's so easy to say no how many times did you go out reluctantly with your friend like dude let's go to the bar come on
Starting point is 00:14:12 watch a game have like one drink and you're like fine and that night you end up meeting like some hot girl get a little action that you would never have gotten had you said no. Guess what you're never going to do? If you sit at home
Starting point is 00:14:25 and opt with that... Which, by the way, I'm great at. Which is what a lot of people opt to do. Which, by the way, is my goal every day. But that's like the lazy man mentality. Ask me what I want to do right after the hurt today. Go home. I know the answer. You're going to sit there.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You're going to lay around. You're going to eat a sleeve of thin mince. I love... But who doesn't love that, right? You look forward to that. But you're never going to see that great moment in sports. You're never going to see that concert that who knows if that person ever performs again.
Starting point is 00:14:51 You might... Well, save that thought because we're going to talk about missed moments in sports in a few minutes. You might miss out on, honestly, just meeting a good woman. Think about that. Yeah, you never know who you're going to meet. Think of how many times. And it's also a reminder that I think our natural default as people. More so than ever.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Is to say no. You know what? At the workplace, in relationships, think about the workplace. If you're trying to get something done at work, right? Hey, I'm just trying to. trying to get this purchase sort of signed off on because we need more supplies to get something done here. The natural default is no, right?
Starting point is 00:15:31 Because it's easier to say no because that person's lazy and they just don't want to go through the rigmarole of getting it done. A lot of times, that's where the nuts comes into place. At any workplace, a lot of times the answer is no because the answer is really not no, but you're right. No because it requires more work. Yes, it requires. someone actually, you know, doing their job
Starting point is 00:15:53 or doing a little extra or investigating it. Yes, always requires a little more effort. But the payoff. The payoff could mean the world. And I'll tell you what, my daughter will never forget when dad came and just turned the whole day around. We had so much fun. We went on every roller co-coast.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Because guess what? She wasn't going on the fun roller coasters with her little nieces and nephews. But when I came there, saved the day. Stevie Fun Time. And I ended up, by the way, I ended up spending like at least five, six hundred dollars. It's not cheap. Such as the cost of life. I'm just saying, I could have saved that had I stayed home.
Starting point is 00:16:27 You know what? How many times have you heard a buddy or some randow person you meet? You ask them, hey, how'd you meet your significant other? How many times does the story start out with a girl or a guy saying like, you know, I didn't even want to go
Starting point is 00:16:43 to the club that night, but my friend like nudged me. And I met Johnny. That's how I met her. It's usually some ridiculous. list like I wasn't planning on going because think about it. In every group of friends there's always one guy that's good at pushing things along
Starting point is 00:16:59 like come on dude I got the tickets for the game or the concert and everyone else is a lazy slug. Every time someone's trying to plan a night out let's all go to the bar, guys night steak dinner, there's always one person that has to nudge people like you. Yes, yes. So some people need to nudge and be willing to say yes.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And I saw an article that goes along with this. I'm not going to find it because that's how life is. You've seen an article when you're trying find it a second time it's never there it's like that photo in your phone you see it all the time but when you're looking for it good luck when you're trying to show a person a photo
Starting point is 00:17:30 you can never find it never oh it's funny you would say that let me let me show you a picture you're like where is this damn picture but it it is true I saw an article I'll never find again that since COVID remember that four years ago that whole thing why'd you have to even bring that up since then
Starting point is 00:17:47 I think it was adults age 30 like an up, go out and interact in person, 40% less. Like some absurd amount of like, they just sit on at home. The last little caveat to this discussion, aside from saying yes to the game, yes to the concert, yes to this family fun time is a question about adults. And that is, how do you feel about Disney adults? Just to wrap this out.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Because I'm there again with my two little nieces, my nephew, my sisters, and my teenage daughter, okay? I can't tell you how many adults I saw and I'm looking around. I'm like, where's their kids? It's adults with their stupid ears on. I'm like, are they here with kids? I'm like, if you're going to Disneyland, look, I get it every once in a while, but I feel like it's more of a phenomenon, like a culture shift where adults just want to put ears on and act like they're four years old again. To me, that's second to going to a kid's movie without a kid. I know you want to watch the movie, but bring your nose-picking nephew if you're going. I don't get that.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Your thoughts on Disney adults. It's like a weird movement or something. There's far too many. Hey, if you want to chime in, 818-907-00-62. Try to go on the teacups and I'm sitting behind two adults in line. Ryan, do you have any instinct on Disney adults? Are you a Disney adult? I am not a Disney adult.
Starting point is 00:19:14 I would say I am very much with Kavina. I don't get it. But Ryan, I'm not saying you can't go, right? But I'm saying, I feel like it's a culture shift where it's a thing. Oh, it's a hundred percent. It is a hundred percent a thing. Right. Exactly what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:19:29 But you're weirdos. And I don't get it. Thank you. Listen. Thanks for hearing me. I have 100%. I think there's one rub. There's one little caveat, one exception.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Now, we live out here in Southern California. I grew up in the York. When I grew up on the East Coast, if you went to Disney, that was like the once-in-a-lifetime family trip where mom and dad saved their money. we live in Southern California So if you're dating someone and you do a little afternoon day trip with a girl Down to Disney I don't think that's a crime
Starting point is 00:19:57 I don't think adults should get on a plane To go to Disney without kids You know what? Okay, that is so fair If you live in Orange County and you're like Disney's 20 minutes away Hey I'm going to an Angels game on this Disney I'll let me go to downtown Disney There's no crime in that
Starting point is 00:20:13 But if you're like honey where do you want to go Aruba no no Kaobo No no Hawaii No, Disney Weirdos. Just an observation that I made. And here's another one, Ryan, too, before we move on against some other stuff again. Missed moments
Starting point is 00:20:27 and sports coming up. But it is a magical place, right? Had a magical day. That's their intention. That's what they say. Magic. Can people dress appropriate at a theme park where there's children? A lot of cheeks hanging out. A lot of cheeks hanging out for Disney.
Starting point is 00:20:45 What is the deal? And let's be honest. I'm not complaining. Sometimes I'm an adult, not cheeks you want to see, too. Yeah, it's like, whoa. Yo, what are they wearing? Is there no dress code? Is Disneyland?
Starting point is 00:20:54 If you want to feel good about your own physique, go to a water park. I mean, no. Look, I get it. But at a water park, you're expected to wear a bathing suit or a bikini or something like that. You got to see the outfits that, I'll just say people were wearing in Disneyland, completely inappropriate when children are around. Just, again, observations, aside from that. Fantastic day because I said yes
Starting point is 00:21:17 Glad you had fun Thank you That is Kavino I'm Rich Kavino and Rich In for Colin On the Herd Now coming up We are going to talk about
Starting point is 00:21:23 missed opportunities in sports I do want to talk some NFL Because even when it's not the NFL season it's still The priority Like Super Bowl was less than two weeks ago And we're already talking about What team should be excited
Starting point is 00:21:37 About 2024 So we'll get to all that That's because everybody has The post Super Bowl blues That's why I know there's only so much Love is Blind I can watch Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:45 All right. We have more coming up next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern 9 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, FS1 and the IHeart Radio app. 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.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes
Starting point is 00:22:58 of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment. And the next, we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me
Starting point is 00:23:15 or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tap Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs?
Starting point is 00:23:33 Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people. I know what you're thinking. What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast. I'm Sam J. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s.
Starting point is 00:23:56 To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. So, I'm finishing that sentence. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, what did we learn so far? Be willing to say yes.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Even when your buddy, I have a buddy bad ticket, Rob. And I usually say no, because his name is bad ticket. Rob. He never has good tickets. Man, Ticket Rob hit me up recently. You want to go to the L.A. Kings game? Nah, not really. You should have said yes.
Starting point is 00:24:48 No, no, no. Moving forward. Yo, man, I got tickets to the Kings game. I got tickets to the L.A.F.C. game. You know what? Yeah. Because you never know what you might miss. You never know what could happen or who you might meet.
Starting point is 00:25:03 You never know. That being said, appreciate the feedback. We'll get to your phone calls. But I also want to ask and post this other questions. question before we throw it back on a Thursday old school when 50 hits I realized this week was kirk Cobain's 57th birthday 57th birthday this week timestamp that was on the 20th right and it dawned on me every time it's brought up because I also work in rock built a career in rock and sports things that I love and people always say did you ever see nirvana live my answers no
Starting point is 00:25:41 You missed it. No, because I grew up in New Jersey. I'm from Union, New Jersey, right? East Coast. And what was I? 16, 17? If they played on the East Coast maybe once, I don't think I was getting there,
Starting point is 00:25:55 and I don't remember that ever happening during my time when I cared about them. And I was in on it early. I remember buying Nevermind. I remember the feeling of hearing it for the first time. It changed my life for a decade. The point is, never got to see them, okay? legends never got to see him
Starting point is 00:26:13 so I ask you this based on my regrets my regrets of never seeing a band that revolutionized music history when we had the opportunity to kind of because they were around I ask you was there a player or a moment
Starting point is 00:26:29 in sports that you feel you missed out on it's a good question yeah if I said Fox Sports Radio Nation members of the herd rich Davis if you can go back in time, throw it back on a Thursday to see a player or a game. Who would it be?
Starting point is 00:26:48 If you could only pick one though, because there's so many goats and grates we never saw. Maybe it was even before our lifetime. Maybe we were little kids. But if that's Muhammad Ali, I want to know it. Or maybe, hey, dude, Mike Tyson. But you got to pick one or one game. I mean, I have an obvious answer. Maybe about a decade ago, I had the instinct to say,
Starting point is 00:27:09 LeBron's playing down in Miami. This is when, you know, he promised, you're not one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. How many championships? I went down to South Beach to see him play for the heat. I thought it was a had-to-do thing. And you know what? That is a perfect response to the criticism he's getting this week,
Starting point is 00:27:31 especially. We talked about it on our show during our regular time about LeBron talking about a farewell tour. He says he's 50-50 on that and he's getting a lot of criticism. He's arguably the goat of all time, at least the second greatest NBA player of all time. Whether you debate that or not, whether you think that or not. And people think, oh, he's selfish. It's me, Braun.
Starting point is 00:27:54 It's all about him. But it's really about the fans. That's the point that everybody misses when they criticize LeBron James. It's about saying, yeah, I'm going to do the farewell tour because this is your opportunity to see one of the greats. Don't miss the opportunity. You could hate what he did, but you got to respect what he did for the sport. Meaning you don't have to be a fan of him on the court. You don't need to be a fan of the Lakers or any of his championship teams.
Starting point is 00:28:21 But you could say to your grandkids when you're feeding the ducks in the future, yeah, well, it was his last year and he had this farewell tour and I said, I got to go. I mean, his hair line wasn't the same. But it was LeBron James, I tell you. That's the beauty of the farewell tour. It gives you the opportunity to do what so many people missed out on. You know what I missed out on, Rich? Seeing Michael Jordan play.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I didn't see the farewell tour. It wasn't brought to my attention in that way. You know, I wasn't thinking that way as a younger man, as a kid. You have this idea that, yeah, they'll be around or you'll get there eventually. So now's the time. But I posed a question based on Cobain. I never got to see Nirvana. Of all the stupid shows I've seen and all the terrible bands I've seen,
Starting point is 00:29:06 never saw Nirvana and in music that would be my answer if I can go back and see one band it'd be them in sports I posed a question to everybody who would you want to see yeah or at the moment or person or play or whatever I regret not seeing some concerts
Starting point is 00:29:23 having tickets and access I remember passing on things where I looking back I'm like why did I not go Jay Z and M&M I believe at Yankee Stadium and I was like no I'm good why not? Well, again, that goes back to our previous discussion
Starting point is 00:29:39 of just saying yes. Well, the conversation's tied again. They're very similar. Yeah. I'm a big Billy Joel fan. And he had his last play at Shea. I'm a Mets fan. You would think if you knew one person that would be...
Starting point is 00:29:54 You didn't go to that? If you know one person that is, loves the Mets, loves Billy Jol, I was like... You didn't go to that show. You blew it! I know. But you have seen him live many times. Spud at Shea.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So that's a specific regret. Yeah, I'm not even an older guy. And he brought out McCartney. And I was like, why did I not go? But is there a specific sports moment or player that you would go? I'm torn on that myself because I know it's odd and a weird hypothetical to say, yeah, jump into a time machine. You could see Mickey Man will run center field at Yankee Stadium. You know, but that is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Like, what moment, what player do you wish you could have? seen. Well, before I answer what I would want to see, you're going to see a lot of that moving forward now with Shohei Otani, which is why Dodgers tickets are going to be astronomical. I think even more so next year when he starts pitching again, there's going to be people that are like, I got to take my kid to see this two-way superstar. In fact, I... There's so many guys adults that live with that regret of I didn't see Jordan. By accident.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I didn't see Cobain. By accident. So I'm not going to let my kid not see Otani. I'll never forget this too, Rich. You brought up LeBron. When my brother, my brother's younger than I, right? When my brother was a little kid. Did you say younger than I?
Starting point is 00:31:12 I mean, yes. And younger than me. Younger than Steve could be. Younger than I. I'm on the herd. I feel like I got to step it up a little bit. Make sure your grammar is on point. My brother, he is younger than I.
Starting point is 00:31:27 He's younger than I. Right? So, for that we went to go to a basketball game. I took him court side because no one wanted to see the Nets play at that time so I had Nets tickets LeBron, his rookie season
Starting point is 00:31:44 and I said to my brother he was a little kid he was so nervous I think he had an accident in his pants because he was so nervous to sit courtside I'm not even kidding you I'm like dude what are you serious we're at the game let it be known Kavino's not that baller at that time because I remember
Starting point is 00:32:00 Knicks court side tickets are like 20 grand Nets in New Jersey Courtside like I remember sitting in the second row yeah with a girlfriend And I got him for like 200 bucks Honestly rich I think I did have second row to be quite honest And I think I moved up because no one cared
Starting point is 00:32:14 It was the Nets in the 2000s Yeah by all means And it wasn't the Jason Kid Nets it was like I was living in my mom's basement I wasn't bawling at all But I took my brother and I'll never forget Because I made such an impactful sort of point in his face And I said
Starting point is 00:32:29 This is LeBron James he's going to be one of the greatest of all time. Remember I took you to see this guy. Remember this. Dude, he's 30-something years old now. He remembers it till this day. Like, I saw LeBron his rookie season. I'll never forget it.
Starting point is 00:32:45 I was a little kid. It meant so much. So again, those missed opportunities, those missed moments in sports. Who are they? What are they? Let's go. Let's get involved.
Starting point is 00:32:55 818-90-0-0-60-6-2. Is there one? Is there one moment that you wish you could have seen? it's so hard for me to even answer, Rich, in sports, because there's so many moments you wish you could have been there for, or players you wish you could have, you could say you saw live. In music, it's one simple answer for me.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It really is. In sports, I don't know. I mean, I could give you some, but I really haven't decided on what that moment or athlete or a game was. The cliche, automatic eye-rolling answer is Michael Jordan. And you don't want to have a Michael Jordan conversation every day. Hey, did you see Mike Tyson? If you're roughly 40 and grew up in the 80s and 90s,
Starting point is 00:33:40 and your parents didn't have the ducats to take you to a Knicks game or a Lakers game or whatever town you lived in, you missed out on Michael Jordan. I did not see Michael Jordan. You might say that's the number one easy answer. It's easy. And it's a great one. But when you think of the close to equal impact Mike Tyson had, how invincible you thought he.
Starting point is 00:34:01 he was as a kid, how your family gathered around on a Saturday night for a pay-per-view, how Mike Tyson's punchout meant the world to you. 007373-359-6-3, you're just trying to get there to fight him. Well, it could be maybe him and his heyday. You know, after going to quite a number of fights with you, UFC and boxing, just the whole fight night vibe. It probably was cool back then to go to a Tyson fight. Right? You know, big stars showed up for that.
Starting point is 00:34:31 So again, I ask you, let's be inclusive. Let's get involved. Let's say good day. Thanks for hanging with us again. It's an honor. 818-907-0-062, Kavino and Richin for the herd. Now, while we get the phones rolling, let's go to Ryan for the herd line news. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. Great to be with you guys this morning. Yes, sir. Great to have you in the herd. Let's start off with some NFL, some interesting reports out of Philadelphia regarding the collapse of the Eagles last season. The reporter...
Starting point is 00:35:04 I love this story, by the way, Ryan. I'm sorry. I do. I love it. It's all good. Reporter Derek Gunn says, according to sources, first, Jalen Hertz's big contract, pulled him in numerous directions on and off the field, then put him under a lot of pressure. He didn't handle well. And Big Dom DeSandro, the suspension of the head of security
Starting point is 00:35:22 after his altercation with Dre Greenlaw on the sidelines, that he controls Nick Siriani's emotions on the sidelines. and in his absence, Nick got into numerous arguments with players and coaches during games. I love how he's been referred to. Dom DeSandro has Siriani's emotional support, Don. Like, it's the fact that he gets kicked off the sideline, was he really the big East Coast Gumba that was like,
Starting point is 00:35:50 Hey, Nick, relax, relax, oh, oh. He was more of a Baca Galo. Yeah, but seems like the type of guy that did keep Siriani's emotions in check. Yeah. And it sounds like such a ridiculous thing, But sometimes when a system's working, you pull out one little piece starts to unravel. 100%. I totally agree that it's not the sole reason that everything fell apart,
Starting point is 00:36:11 but I 100% believe that that definitely played a role in what became a pretty epic collapse for that Eagles team after starting 10 and 1. Let's keep our attention on the NFL. Former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum suggested the Dolphins should consider moving on from their young star wide receiver Jalen Waddle. maybe for a player like the Chief Stud quarterback Trent McDuffie, great season,
Starting point is 00:36:31 incredible Super Bowl performance. His teammate Tiger Kiel quickly jump in said nope, posting this on social media. My boy Waddle is the future. He's better than I was at this point in his career. And for people and this fan base to want to trade him, it's ludicrous.
Starting point is 00:36:48 I have one thing to add of major importance. You know, he does the little Waddle. You know, I'm helping my first grade daughter with a project on penguins. You know, a group of penguins called a waddle. Wow. Fun fact.
Starting point is 00:37:01 How about that? Dropping fun facts. Oh, and they should keep them, by the way. I mean, why would you break up that core of great wide receivers? I agree. Yeah. There's no need to move on. Waddle, on, a waddle. I mean, Shrette McDuffie, great player.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah. But, you know, Jalen Ramsey was hurt to start the year. They had a bunch of key defensive players like Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chub, get hurt. I think the dolphins are mostly just fine with where they're at. We'll finish up with this in the NBA, which returns to play tonight after the All-Star break. and despite being third in the east,
Starting point is 00:37:29 the buck's season has been anything but smooth sailing, already had to fire their head coach Adrian Griffin, their three and seven in their last 10 games. And speaking to the athletic, here's what Yonis had to say about their struggles. Quote, we have to stop feeling bad about ourselves. I'm tired of this.
Starting point is 00:37:44 We have to stop doing that. Things are not going to be given to us. We have to go and take it. Damn. That's a great attitude. Stop being a sports baby. You know, he said he doesn't watch a game, so, you know, focus on the games he's in, I guess.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Thank you, Ryan. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Hurd-Lie News. Ryan, keep your eye to the streets on one story, if you don't mind. 49ers defensive coordinator, do you think there's a chance that former head coaches are likely to want to do this or you think they're going to go within? I've seen both things.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I think they're at a point where, obviously, they are in the Super Bowl window of winning the next couple years. you got to go full court press on trying to get someone with head coach experience who can help get that team to over the hump in the Super Bowl. Kavino and I have discussed like Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick, when you see names like that, Super Bowl winners, you're like, they're not going to be a coordinator. But if it's like a ready to win scenario and they're okay taking a step back? Yeah, I don't see how that wouldn't be an absolute home run for Shanahan.
Starting point is 00:38:56 100%. I thought it was like a joke and then you start seeing legit people reporting it. You're like, what? Yeah, but a lot of times people take steps back to move forward. There goes your grammar. Steps back. Now, let me call you out. Sir Lips Blot.
Starting point is 00:39:11 You know, this is just a straight up step back, I would say. I've taken steps back. We all have. Yeah. But with the goal to move forward. It's interesting. At that stage of life, is that the goal? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:39:23 A ready team to win the Super Bowl, step in. We'll say. All right, well, we are going to take your feedback. I want to go through it all. The times you missed an opportunity, or who would you like, that time you'd want to go back and see that player? Yeah, the more I think about it, I think there is just one universal answer.
Starting point is 00:39:38 There's other ones, but who would you have wanted to see in person that you missed out on? More, Kavino and Rich next. In for the herd. Colin, we'll be back. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd. Weekdays in noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. Hey, we're Kavino and Rich. Fox Sports Radio every day,
Starting point is 00:39:55 5 to 7 p.m. Eastern, but here's the thing. We never have enough time to get to everything we want to get to. And that's why we have a brand new podcast called Overpromised. You see, we're having so much fun in our two-hour show. We never get to everything. Honestly, because this guy is over-promising things we never have time for. Yeah, you blubber lips. Blame in me.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Well, you know what? It's called Over-Promise. You should be good at it because you've been over-promising women for years. Well, it's a Kavino-and-rich after show, and we want you to be a part of it. We're going to be talking sports, of course. but we're also going to talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue on our after show called Overpromised. Well, if you don't get enough, Kavino and Rich, make sure you check out OverPromise.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And also, uncensored, by the way. So maybe we'll go at it even a little harder. It's going to be the best after show podcast of all time. There you go. Overpromising. And remember, you could see it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to Overpromised with Kavino and Rich on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:40:54 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.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
Starting point is 00:41:46 This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment. And the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream,
Starting point is 00:42:15 this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok. Podcast Network on TikTok. Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tapped Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs? Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people. I know what you're thinking.
Starting point is 00:42:36 What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast. I'm Sam Jek. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack.
Starting point is 00:42:58 I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really?
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. Hey, your feedback. Your phone calls on the herd, CNR, in for Colin. The number is different today for us.
Starting point is 00:43:35 818-907-0062. You brought up an interesting thought, which is, is there an athlete that you feel like you missed out on seeing when they were playing? Because it was the anniversary of, actually what, the birthday of Kirk Cobain? Kurt Cobain's 57th birthday this week. and you know I talk so much music all the time people are you ever seen Nirvana live I feel like an embarrassment
Starting point is 00:43:59 when the answer is no but truthfully they never really played again in our area growing up again we're from the East Coast but I never did and that's one of my big regrets in music I'm posing the sports side of this I know hip hop shows aren't as big as rock shows and pop shows like hip hop you know a lot of people say live
Starting point is 00:44:20 maybe isn't as good but there's a lot of people that were probably big Tupac or Biggie fans that thought they'd had all the time in the world to see him never got a chance That's a great answer man right. I mean We're gonna go out in the room. We're gonna get to your phone calls 818907-06062 like Rich said You know I hate to admit when Rich is right But when Rich and I agree it's fact And we said it in passing and you brought it up I think the number one answer on the board for any 80s 90s kid who had Jordan Post
Starting point is 00:44:52 in his bedroom who had a Jordan jersey even though you didn't root for the bulls you were singing you want to be like Mike you were drinking Gatorade you were space jamming you were rocking the Jordan once if you were alive in that time and he came to your town and you know he did you know he did it's not like Nirvana where you know they never really played on the East Coast at least in our area that much Jordan played most likely somewhere in your vicinity in your city and you didn't see it and you didn't see it and you didn't go. He played somewhere other than Chicago 40 times a year. Exactly. But I'd say, none of my good friends that are sports fans have a story about my dad took him to see Jordan. Can I tell you I regret that so much, Rich, that I play
Starting point is 00:45:36 mental gymnastics with myself, convincing myself somehow, I had to see him, maybe by accident. Doesn't work that way. I know. No, no, meaning like, I went to... You're not your buddy, Barry. Kavino has a friend Barry that has a theory that if you think hard enough that you hooked up with a girl, you hooked up with her. Well, he's saying that the memory of it is just the same as the look back at the reality.
Starting point is 00:45:58 You know, but my point is, like, my dad or a neighbor brought me to like a Knicks game, and he happened to be playing the Bulls, and I just didn't realize the impact at the time. But if we lived in that time, which most of us did, and we didn't see Jordan, that has to be the number one answer for people, again, who didn't see him. and I unfortunately think I'm one of them. I appreciate the feedback. Let's go right to the calls. Let's start with Dan in Washington.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Dan, you're on, Kavino and Rich, in for Colin on the herd. What's up, man? Hey, guys. Huge fans, by the way. I love you guys. Listen daily. Thanks, brother. But non-sports-related would be Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:46:44 I have regretted my entire life, never seeing him perform wise. But the one that I have sports. related is I actually got a chance to go to a game when Pippin was with the Blazers, and they were playing the Lakers, and I really wanted to see Shaq and Kobe, and both of them were out. Weak sucks. Weak. Yeah, and so Shaq was there, at least in plain clothes. Kobe didn't travel with the team.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And by the way, I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you have, but you've never seen Shaq in person. he is a frighteningly love I gotta say these guys have interviewed me a few times seeing me in close there's a picture seeing me in close doesn't count there's a picture
Starting point is 00:47:29 Dan of Shaq with his arm around me his hand is covering not only my shoulder I think his hand goes from my shoulder down to my elbow Big dude Terry in San Diego What's up Terry
Starting point is 00:47:40 Hey how you doing guys What's up man You guys are doing a great job Thank you brother Always fun thanks man My regret in high school Sinatra did four shows in San Diego when I was in high school and something in my brain said I should go see him and I didn't.
Starting point is 00:47:55 And that was a big man. That's a big one, yeah. But from a sports standpoint, it wouldn't just be Michael Jordan. It would be Michael Jordan's balls against the Detroit Pistons when they were the bad boys. That's a hell of a team. You know, another one. Maybe Barclay, there's answers. Our buddy Sean hit us out listening out here in L.A.
Starting point is 00:48:16 He's a big hockey guy. Mario Lemieux. He's a Penguins fan, but as a kid, never got in person. It sucks. Well, if you want to chime in again, at Covino and Rich, at Fox Sports Radio, we're going to throw it back even more today. More. C&R. In for Colin on the herd next. Stay right there.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Another podcast from some SNL 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.
