Now, don't worry, I'm not pulling my pants down or anything. Oh, Jesus. We're joined by David Benavides in Monstro. He's fighting Saturday. We'll be in Vegas tomorrow for the fight. Who calls him the Mexican monster? Mike Typhon, Dev. Mike Typhon.

So the Mexican monster, David Benavides, taken on David Morales, the Battle of the Davids, the Davids. That's his Saturday night on pay-per-view. I thought you were talking about David Hasselhoff. No, no, no. But we're going to be joined by one of the greatest light heavyweights out there. The guy that people said for years, even Tyson said for years, Canello was ducking him. So talk to David Benavides on the show and got to start off by saying good day to you.

And man, speaking of fighting, the Paul brothers got us again. Damn it. I hate them. Damn. But I stupidly watch all their stuff. Damn, damn. The other day we said, big announcement, Jake Paul, Logan Paul in March, they're going to fight each other. I mean, of course we leaned into, we think, I guess.

But I did buy into it because it was advertised as an HBO Max sort of thing. Like, wow, okay. But turns out they're not fighting at all. You are fake news. This is like when Snoop Dog announced, he had the big announcement that he was going to quit smoking, remember? And I remember thinking. Man, Snoop Dog, no more weed? And then it turns out, just kidding.

It was promoting something or other, some product. A smokeless edibles, right? A smokeless cooker. Smokeless something. I don't smoke no more. Yeah, so he's giving up the smoker, and you're like, what? No way. Apparently the Paul brothers have signed the deal with HBO Max, and they have a reality show.

Paul American, like All-American, Paul American, which debuts in March. not a fight at all. You got us. Oh, ha. Anyway. So the Paul brothers tricked us.

Well, remember what they were saying, too, the fight you've been waiting for for 10 years. We did say, I don't know if anyone was waiting for that fight

for 10 years. The only positive and silver lining I saw to it was, well, maybe it lights a fire for other people to get that fight in there. Two brothers are willing to fight.

What's Canello and Benavita's excuse, right? but maybe this opens up more opportunities for fights we actually want to see. Like I would want to see Jake Paul fight some other people, not necessarily his brother, you know, for the fun of it. So maybe the show's good, who knows, but we got got. And there you have it. The other big story.

By the way, if you have thoughts on any of this, 87799 on Fox, Danny G's on standby. What up Danny G. Iowa Sam, Dan Byer. Everybody's hanging out today, Kavino and Rich. Thank you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, for hanging. with us. The other big story today is Cam Newton and his ridiculous hat. Oh, I do. You're going to say the woman dressed like a mermaid that almost got eaten by a fish. Did you see that video floating around social media? I mean, that and the terrible footage of the plane in DC. American Airlines flight.

Yeah, that was horrible. A lot of random stories. A lot of terrible stories. But this Cam Newton one is right in our wheelhouse of, really? Did he say that? Wait, wait, did he really say that? Do I respect that? Do I hate that? I can tell you what? Mike who runs this place? I heard him screaming in the hallway. Who? Together runs high heart? Yeah, I heard screaming in a hallway and I was like, who's getting yelled at? You mean the only Panthers fan we know? That is true. And he was saying, you know, that's why I never liked Cam Newton. As a, I was a Panthers fan. You want my answer? Oh, I know your answer, Mike. He was fired up about it. It's a really weird story. And he has a really weird hat.

Take a listen. This is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. Take a listen to Cam Newton when he was with Stephen A on first take. I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that league MVP for a Super Bowl championship, would you do it? No. Oh. Really?

Wow. What's more important? Impact or championships? If we're being honest, the impact of you holding yourself accountable to some. say everybody has a responsibility to do. And you can say as an MVP award winner or an All-American, you've held yourself or you've held your end of the bargain down. And that's what it really comes down to it for me.

I know that's not the popular pick. I'm trying to be popularized. But my take is I'm taking individual success because I did my job. Yeah, barf to you. guess what it's not an individual sport you bonehead yeah if you were a fighter or a tennis player if you played ping pong these are all great things not when you're in a team sport what a bonehead and i like him i don't not like cam asinine answer now the thing is do you admire the honesty it makes you want to put my hand to the screen and knock that hat off and give him a crotty kick it makes

no sense dude and like i said i like him he says some outlandish things he says things that make you say he stirs it up, I'll credit him there. Right, and he's entertaining, and he was a difference maker, I get it. You remember when he said the difference between him and a Brock Purdy? He was a difference maker. I get it, because he's a different level of athlete, a different level

of superstar. He was. But he's also supposed to be a great leader of a team. The type of guy that makes people want to play for him, that he wasn't. Therefore, when you think about what a team sport's supposed to be, he failed because he never led

his team to victory. This isn't low-level, you know, Sunday softball pickup basketball where you're like, well, I played good, but the team lost, who cares? This is the National Football League. This is the Super Bowl to have that answer. And I get it. I do admire the honesty. But you admire the honesty when it's like a good answer.

That's the weakest answer for a team sport ever. That's why you look at guys, you're going to roll your eyes, you're going to say, oh, Derek Cheater. What did Derek Cheater always say? Many Yankees have said it. I get it. Here's the gift bag. Don't tell anyone. Is that what Derek Cheater said?

No, he never said that. That was a rumor. That was a really good night. There's no name on the back of the jersey, of course. No name on a back of a Yankees jersey because they play for the name on the front. And what's a big trend to be a team sport? That's the championship mentality. That's a team mentality.

The me, me, me mentality is why teams fail. It's why I don't believe in your Mets moving forward because they put so much emphasis around Juan Soto. When it's about one guy, when it's about one guy, it leaves everybody else feeling flat. No one else likes that feeling. I don't think it's about Soto. I think they paid them.

So we'll see. We'll see what happens. I think there was a trend you saw for a while. DB could attest to this, especially in college football in the NFL, where teams would opt to, not be introduced out of the tunnel, we come out as a team. Like, you'll play your intros, like.

You have to do it that way. Why was friends of success? Because they all fought together and they fought for the same money together and they wrote it out and they all won together. When one person thinks they're better than everybody else. And by the way, he's saying the exact opposite of what every other championship and leader says. You know what I mean?

Like, no, I don't play for personal. I play for championships. It's a team sport. So we should have. saying the exact opposite. No one else says it because it makes no sense. That's the most selfish answer and self-serving, self-centered answer you could give as a team player on a team sport. If he was a fighter in the UFC, in the octagon, if it was a one-man-only sport, then yes, that makes sense.

If he was an Olympic diver. Yes. Anything else is the exact opposite of truth and the exact opposite of logic. Now, you're insinuating I should cancel him speaking to the kids in the Little League and Pop Water. Yeah. Dude, I'm not mad at him. It's just like, did he really say that? And he tried to make it like it made sense because it doesn't.

It does not make sense. Should he be proud of it? Yes. Like, all right, let's break it down to the smallest of levels, right? If you were playing in a softball game, if you were playing in a baseball game growing up, football game growing up, yeah, you feel good if you did good. Right? There's that feeling of, man, I went four for four. sucks that we lost, but I went four for four.

There's that sense of of fulfillment you get that you did your part. You get it. But you're just one piece of that puzzle. You still lost. Listen, you're allowed to be selfish when you're not a pro. Exactly. I've said to you, dude, when I play Sunday softball with my buddies,

if I go four for four and we lose, let's be honest. Unless it's like the championship game, I'd rather that than go 0 for 4 and my team wins. I don't step away from my wife and kids for an hour to go play crappy. How about this? As a quarterback, this is the other level. He's not just another cog in the wheel. He is the quarterback. And the difference between him and, let's say, a current day, Baker Mayfield. Yeah. Is he a better athlete than Baker Mayfield, more of a difference maker? Absolutely. Kim Newton was all of that. And that's why you're more aggravated. He had the potential to be one of the greatest of all time. The players want to play for Baker. Mayfield. Do you see that? They want to play for him because he's in it. He believes in the team. He's one of the guys. These other dudes, they didn't want to play for Cam that same way. And that was the

problem. That's a bad leader. You're the quarterback. You got to be a good leader. You're not playing for yourself. You can't win by yourself. Understandable and honest or absurd? Dan Byer, what do you think, buddy boy? Good to see. Yeah, it's great to see you guys as well. Super Bowl 35, last time we had individual announcements. Well, I should say Super Bowl 36 because the Rams were announced and then the Patriots ran out as a team. So it was 50-50. That ruined everything in my mind, Kavino. I know you love it.

And I'm on the side of Cam Newton on this. I think that you develop yourself. Everything else plays into what it is. But if you're growing up, you're trying to be the best that you can be. And it's not a knock on anyone else. Like would Dan Marino trade his career for a Super Bowl ring? He's arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Do you trade all that to be?

To his point, Brad Johnson, I don't think I would. Do you rather be Brad Johnson or Dan Marino? Great question. You mean the stigma that Dan Marino has to live with for the rest of his life that he was one of the greatest, but he never won? He's in the game of winning. That's what you're in the league to do. That's the name of the game.

That's the whole purpose and point. So yeah, you were great, but he never won one. I think Dan Marino, without a doubt, would even hesitate to say. Yeah, I would trade everything for the Super Bowl victory. If you're Mike Trout, a guy that, you know, when not hurt is compared to Mickey Mantle, the guy like sniff the playoff once. If you're Mike Trout, do you, when all said and done, do you rather waste away in Anaheim down there playing for the Angels? Never really be a postseason guy.

But at the end of the career, you'll have 500 home runs, bat 300, Hall of Famer, first ballot. or would you rather be less of a star but have two World Series? Like I said. Would you rather be Max Muncie? You could have, I'm not saying Cam Newton should be ashamed of his career. The guy was incredible to even get to that point. One of the best to do it. We know that.

So he should be proud of his accomplishments and proud of his accolades. But. isn't it selfish to say I'd rather keep my personal accolade than to share a victory with the team that I led? I mean, to me, this is common sense. I have the answer.

It's the most selfish response you could give. I don't love the Marino. I don't love the Marino. I'm a professional and being selfish. I'm the most self-centered guy you know. And I'm telling you it's absurd. True. I don't like the Marino analogy

because you're comparing a career to a Super Bowl. Cam Newton was asked, would you trade in the MVP? That's an individual honor. It wasn't like, you know, Cam,

would you trade your career stats and everything for a Super Bowl? I think there's a difference there. Getting a trophy versus your career stats and numbers, right? Like, Dan Marino, I don't know if he would want to trade

what he meant and how great Dan Marino was. You know, guys like Joe Montana, say Dan Marino is the best ever. I don't know if you trade that to be Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson or something. like that. But the Cam Newton thing comes

across more selfish because it wasn't like, would you trade your career? It was, would you trade this one honor for this honor? Meaning like, hey, take away the MVP, but you win a Super Bowl. The answer is a no-brainer. You want to be a Super Bowl winner. And by the way,

like, yeah, it was an honest answer, but it doesn't mean it was a good answer. Right? You don't always need to be that honest. Well, you know what? Your thoughts, selfish, honest, refreshing, lame as hell. Your thoughts on Cam Newton saying he would not trade his MVP for a Super Bowl ring. Your thoughts next.

And like we said, big fight this week at David Benavides. We'll talk to him within the hour. Talk a little more NFL. We'll go old school. A fun Thursday show right here on Kavino and Rich.

What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast. called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. 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. going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, Hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends. Me and Hilarie. guest from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.

Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam, this Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,

he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us every. everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get to flying.

He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, I say, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the pair. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers.

What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know.

This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime list on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Agency, the ability to know that we're the experts in our own body. On the podcast, cultivating her space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard. I wholeheartedly think, you know, you hit 30. You shouldn't have to share one with anybody. Mm-hmm. From navigating friendships and healing to setting boundaries and prioritizing your mental health. These are real honest conversations. We don't always get to have out loud.

Totally unreasonable with different parts of life, right? Like, oh, have all three meals and make sure you're mindful during all of them? Absolutely not. During one meal, I'm standing. I'm standing and handing my children food. Because healing, empowerment, and resilience aren't just ideas. They're practices. And this Mental Health Awareness Month, there's no better time to pour back into yourself.

Listen to cultivating her space on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I think Cam Newton's trying to steer it up. Stirring up some controversy with his selfish comments. Team sports should never be about me, me, me, me. That's why they don't win as a team. Did you just say me, me, me? Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

We're joined by David Benavides in a few minutes. can monster fights this weekend. David Benevarez versus David Morel will be in Vegas tomorrow to get into the fight. And then New Orleans for the Super Bowl. Covino and Rich, everything at Covino and Rich.

and the NFL were what, a week and a couple days away from the Super Bowl, the average ticket price for Norlands, Eagles, Chiefs, they're saying it's about $7,300. Not the highest ever. What is the highest average ticket price? What's Super Bowl? I'll give you a hint. It's in the last like five to ten years.

Is there a Super Bowl? You remember like, that's got to be the one. Oh, when you said the highest ever, I thought you on a plane when you were on edibles? That's what I thought. I thought maybe it was Vegas just because of the expensive stadium prices there.

And it was like a hot city to go for their first Super Bowl. Not the answer. What's your guess, Iowa, Samuel? When the Patriots came in undefeated and played the Giants? Good guess, but not the answer. D.B. Any guesses? Do you know the answer to this one? I'll say Chiefs Niners first time around. That was the second.

The highest average ticket cost, $8,300. So about $1,000 more than the average ticket for this game. When Tom Brady took on Mahomes down in Tampa, TB12 as a buccaneer where they beat the Chiefs. And there was only 3,000 people in the game. in the stands. So funny, that clearly is a factor. I didn't even think of that. Demand.

Oh, crap. So maybe that's supply. That doesn't count. That's like a jaded stat thing. The COVID Super Bowl. Asterix. Nah, that stinks. There are more than 3,000, but it was not 70,000.

Now, my fun fact stinks. Not really. Just move mine up to number two to number one, and guess what? All is good. Yeah, it's just like a trick question, kind of, sort of. Man. I knew it had to be recent times, though. So welcome back to the show.

We appreciate it. Can we play the Cam Newton soundbite one more time just to wrap it up with your phone calls? Your thoughts on this. Rich is saying, is it honest? Is it backwards thinking? Is it refreshing? How do you feel about what Cam Newton said when it came to trading in an MVP for a Super Bowl victory? Before you play the audio, what do you think the price was for Super Bowl 1?

Oh, we've talked about this in the past. Not $8,300. No, it was the average ticket price? I'm going to guess $17 a ticket. Close, Samuel. Thank you. $12. $12 for a Super Bowl won.

And it was 50 cents to park. Exactly. How much those $12 in today's money back then? You know what? Well, there is inflation. Probably only a couple hundred bucks, Sam. It's not $8,000. I'll tell you that.

All right. I'm sorry. Back to the Stephen A. Talking to Cam Newton. Selfish or what? I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that league MVP for a Super Bowl championship. Would you do it? No.

Oh. Really? Wow. What's more important? Impact or championships? If we're being honest, the impact of you holding yourself accountable to say everybody has a responsibility to do. And you can say as an MVP award winner or an All-American, you've held yourself or you've held your end of the bargain down. And that's what it really comes down to it for me.

No, it doesn't. pick. I'm trying to be popularized. But you should because you played for a seat. My take is I'm taking individual success because I did my job. Now, you know, I thought about it even more. How about sharing this victory with

all of the thousands and millions of fans you have for the pride of the city that you play for? No, your one stupid accolade means more than that. You kidding me? The one-time announcement of, and the MVP's Cam Newton, met more to him than

celebrating with 50 plus teammates staff personnel, the fans, a parade. Exactly. Come on. Wasn't his job to jump on that fumble? Yeah, well, he has said recently as one of his biggest regrets, obviously. So again, we like Cam, but just no way that he is right in saying that. He can think that all he wants. I mean, you know what?

You could argue that he's an entertaining guy and we're talking about him. So a win for Cam Newton. Let's go to Eli and Vassalia. Your thoughts, selfish, honest, both, ass clown, awesome. What do you think? What's happening? Covino, what's happening, Rich?

What's happening, Tanya Lys McLean? Hey, man. So this is a prototypical type of stuff. If you would ask him that question during the season after the Super Bowl loss, he would lie through his teeth and say, oh, this is a team sport. But now that he don't really have much going on from

besides his little podcast, well, he has to say that to stay relevant. Yeah, think about that. If you were a GM or a coach, would you ever hire a guy who thought that way? No. So, yeah, he may be honest now, but he did not have that attitude then. Who would hire that guy? Yo, Eli, that's a great point because, you know, truth comes out when you're no longer in the game, right?

Like, if we were done with our broadcast career and someone's like, all right, now tell me what you really think about some of the people you work for. Perhaps, you know, your answers would be different. That mentality is why they never won. That's what's frustrating for the fans. I'm not a Carolina fan. It's almost like the true colors of Cam Newton came out in that comment. And again, he likes to stir it up, so maybe he's enjoying this. Wallace in Charlotte, who I can only imagine does not like that comment being from Charlotte.

What's up? And last I checked, that's not a good quality. You know, don't lean into your bad qualities. that's the problem with today's world. Everyone leans into their own bad qualities and narcissism. I love... That's a great point, Kavino always makes.

When you think of what your worst traits might be, people lean into them like, it's great. Like, hey, well, love me for who I am. Well, not if you could be better. I'm petty. I'm going to live that up. Yeah. Pettyness is not a virtue.

You know what I have a lot of bad qualities. I try to fix them. Not like, like, hey, man, you do like it or not. Fix your bad qualities? Kavino's right. I was Sam, yo, fist bump to you because people should try to improve their bad qualities. Instead, nothing bothers me more than when a man or a woman is sort of like, pain in the ass to deal with.

And they're sort of like, well, that's just me. It's almost like the manny being manny crap. A few years ago before I met Brenda and I was online dating, saw a lot of this on females profiles. They said, this is how I am. This is how I am. It's just my sign too bad. Like, take me or love me or leave me. I don't want to deal with it. Don't enhance your worst traits.

The end. All right. Now, let's say hi to Trevor in Texas to wrap it. Then we'll go to DB for an update. We'll go old school. We got Benavides. Action packs, CNR on a Thursday. What's up, Trev?

Hey, what's going on, guys? Take my call again. You guys are refreshing. You always let me chime in. No problem, man. What's up? This Cam Newton thing is, I mean, I would say it's the

disgusting, but at the same time, it's just who he is, right? And I know that you guys just said that's not an excuse. What I would say, though, is there's some ring champions on that team. Luke Kee-Kee-Kee, I remember watching him get carded off crying, which pretty much ended his career, because he got knocked out on the field. And I know that there's probably about 15 offensive linemen on that team, both first string and backups, that are not very happy with that comment, because me, you, probably

everybody in the studio can't name a single one of them, but if they won a championship, that would have been the highlight of their life. Yeah, honestly, what an insult to all the offensive line in that. And all of the fans. The fans? There's a couple people. The coach, the fans.

That supported this team. And the offense, right? Right. I'm with you on this. All right. Let's go to our boy and yours. Dan buyer for an update. Dan, what's up?

I'll only talk to you, Rich. not Mr. 27 home run, Steve Kavino. I have no idea on how many league titles you've won. All I've heard about is your individual accomplishment of 27 Little League home runs. I've never heard about any division titles. I've never heard about any regional titles. So I just saying. Dan Byer, what an amazing point I have not figured out over the last 20 years.

Never won a championship. Would you give up your 20 national league champions? Would you give them up? My little league accoled. They're hard to compare to Super Bowls. Oh, yeah. I didn't have an entire city for me. Would you give up your 27 Little League home runs if you were said, oh, my team went to Cooperstown?

Oh, went to Cooperstown without a doubt. All right. Yes. Yes. By the way, Kavino stopped growing then. He's still five, ten. Yeah, yeah. I was as big as I am now, literally.

One baseball note to pass along, Max Scher did sign with the Blue Jays, one year, $15 million, according to those reports. That's a good risk reward, I think, for the Blue Jays, right? I mean, might as well, right? Yeah, why not? The NFL says 2024 had the lowest amount of concussion since 2015, down 17% from a year ago. The big news in the NFL today stemming from Baltimore.

The Baltimore banner quoted six massage therapists is from multiple spas, by the way, accusing Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of acting inappropriately during their sessions. Some spas immediately terminated Tucker as a client for what they say was inappropriate sexual behavior. Tucker has denied the allegations. He's called them unequivocally false and hired a defamation lawyer to handle his case. The NFL says they are aware and now investigating those allegations. Eagles designated defensive end Brandon Graham to return from IR following a torn triceps muscle. Wall Street Journal says the FBI is investigating heat guard Terry Rozier

National Tennessee hopes to land a WMBA expansion franchise with an investor group that includes Peyton Manning, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. And guys, the final number of nicknames for the Utah Hockey Club down to three. They're going to choose it for next season and then move on with that name. Hockey Club is one of them. So they are the Utah Hockey Club right now. that is one of the three finalists, Utah Mammoth and the Utah Wasatch.

Oh, the Yeti's gone? I love the Yeti. See you later. Yeah, he's rejected, right, DB, because of other companies that have Yeti in their name. Yeah, there's a problem with the mammoth as well. There's a lacrosse team in Denver that's named the mammoths. So there could be some conflict there. When Cleveland turned from the Indians to the Guardians for a minute, there was a hang-up with the Guardians because it was a women's sports team. The Guardian, so all right, thank you, Dan Byer. And let me throw one thing in being that I'm a Mets fan. And I'll continue to care about this story. Pete Alonzo now being urged to overcome his, quote, sour grapes and accept the Mets offer. Is that an easy thing to do where you're like, no, weak offer?

I'll go elsewhere. And then nothing else happens. Do you think the Mets optically need to be like, hey, Pete, we'll give you a little more money so it looks like he's not a little B? I think so, yeah, do right by the guy. Give him a little more so it looks like he didn't come crawling back, right? Yeah. Well, with that said. him to come in there and they're all bitter about it.

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

Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows, without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall.

And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the bar like,

after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out, quick. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the bomb.

Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the pair.

I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny, Will Farrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers! What are the nippers?

Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault? And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused,

but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

We reminiscing over you. We love reminiscing. Like the Little River Band. And we do it every Thursday. We're Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And because we've got to make room for the WBC light heavyweight

champion, David Benavita, fights this weekend. He'll be on the show. We're going to do old school and 50 hits a little early like Mr. Furley. Jack. Yeah, let's do it. Old school went 50 hits. There's a search.

Yeah. 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.

Yeah, boy. Now, this is wild thought. As we sit around streaming a million shows on Netflix, Apple, Hulu, Max. By the way, Danny, I know you and I are all about Apple TV. Between shrinking and Silo? Man. So good. Two of the best shows out right now.

Don't sleep on Paradise, though. Sterling Kay Brown, that's on Hulu. But we're sitting around streaming a million shows. You're listening to podcasts. We live in a world where. entertainment at your fingertips. To think back that on this day

in 1933, the Lone Ranger debuted to 20 million listeners on the radio. That's when people would be like, a horse is coming. Yeah. It first debuted on a Detroit radio station, and then when a company

called Mutual Radio Network picked it up nationally, over 20 million Americans were tuning into the Lone three times a week by 1939. Right. That's what I was going to get at. So started in Detroit. Yeah. And then became a nationwide thing.

And you have to think back old school 1930s. You had the whole family sitting around the radio. Walton style. Right. So it sounds crazy, right? Like, yeah. When you walk back to the future and they go back to 1955 and it was like fascinating, they're like, you have a TV?

And that was 55. We're talking 30. 33 to 39 here. To think that families would gather around the radio. Imagine like listening to our podcast with your family in a circle? It's like a, well, just a movie reference. Remember in a Christmas story that was in the little our finanny? That's right.

Right? It's just that old school radio sort of thing. And that was the power of radio. And that's how we all fell in love with it. So there's so many questions, so many things that come to mind when you think about that, that's some of your favorite radio shows throughout history, some of your favorite personalities, because the Lone Ranger is one of those legendary shows. I mean, the movie flop.

Did you ever see the recent movie with, who was it, Johnny Depp? Did you ever see it? I never saw it. I think Olivia Munn was in that with him, wasn't she? I don't remember. I never saw it. But growing up, you knew the legend of the Lone Ranger. That's how popular it was.

Over 20 million people were tuning in to listen. So based on that thought, I mean, anything that comes to mind as far as radio and what it meant to you and lasting impressions. But are there shows today that would have been great, so great that you would have still listened to them on the radio? Probably most of them because you were just looking for entertainment at that stage of the game. And again, there's so many questions when you think about how families gathered around the radio. Like, are there old school forms of media and technology that you look back and say, I wish I could have, like, experienced what that was like. Yeah, but why do you say that?

Like, kids now? No, but I'm saying kids now at their fingertips, they grab the remote and they start playing on your smart TV and they go to YouTube, they go to Hulu, they go to Disney Plus, they do all this stuff. Your kids will never know what it was like to go to Blockbuster. Start in the A's, work you way to the Zs. They'll never know that. They'll never know. I mean, we never knew what it was like to sit around a radio with our families.

We never do that. Our kids will never know what it was like to wait in line to buy tickets to a concert or a game. There's a lot of technological advances, but when it comes to shows you would listen to, it's an odd question because wouldn't the answer be everything? Not really, because I think, obviously, there's some shows where the dialogue's more important. and then during the commercial break covino and I were talking about shows cove that had like really good transitions like Seinfeld for instance you don't think Seinfeld would have been a great radio show with the family with the baseline and laughs and their stupid jokes and yeah you can totally imagine a family sitting around the radio listening to that back in the day being brought to you by tide yeah even like curb your enthusiasm with a didda da didn't did it in the stupid songs I think that adds a lot. And when I think old school radio and Lone Ranger and things like that, I think even a show like Dexter with the narration and do. Boom, be a new new, I can't imagine that being a radio show.

I don't think Grandma Walton would have let us listen to that. No, but I can see that, you know, the way it's narrated. Like you'd sit there and listen. I don't know. I think some shows would translate some wouldn't. That's a great answer. Kavino, considering true crime podcast are. the top category. Great point. The only category, I'll be honest, the only category that gets

more views and listens than sports and comedy, true crime. So honestly, a show like Dexter would be like a top, a top tier old-timey times radio show. You got to think about the shows, radio shows and TV shows that just sparked your imagination. Again, Lone Rangers set the standard for so many families back in the 30s. As a guy who built his career in radio, for me, and we talked about this recently, it was what really sparked my imagination was, like, who are these guys talking on the radio?

Like Casey Kasem, who worked in this building? I'd hear that voice, and I'd hear that reverb that a cousin Brucey had or a Casey Kasem had. I'm like, who are these dudes? Because we didn't have the internet at our fingertips to figure out the faces. with the voice. Do you remember that feeling as a kid? I mean, we're not even that old.

But that intrigue before the internet really stuck with me. Before the internet. Who are you? Is in our lifetime, if you were alive in the 80s and 90s, until let's say social media came about in the 2000s. Before that, if you heard a radio host, a morning show, a sports talk host, like, yo, when I was a kid and my dad would listen to Mike and the Mad Dog every day, I had no clue on planet Earth what they look like.

So now what I think of Mad Mad Mad Dog Russo with. this blue steel look on first take. He's rocking a magnum and a blue steel nowadays. Yeah. You would never have known what they look like. Never. You know, there would always be something like hot shot nighttime DJ. So in other words, if that sparked it was cool.

If that sparked our imagination, because these guys had cool names and cool voices and they were so animated with their cool jingles. Imagine how captivating a lone ranger must have been back then. Right? Like, we will never know. That's the thing. Because we never lived it. It was a simpler time to be entertained, right?

Because think about it, what were people doing back then? Listening to shows like that on the radio. And then they would put records on and just sit around and listen to them together. But I guess it's similar to listening to an audiobook, no? Which I've never really done. I've dabbled here and there with audiobooks. Because they're really just telling stories when you're thinking about it. I listen to an audiobook recently, and it's that Bosch series,

which is on Amazon Prime. And the actor from that show, they paid him to be the voice of the audio books. So it's acted out so good. Old school 150 hits. We started early to make room for David Benavides. Your thoughts when we give you the history of what happened on this day. It was sort of a life-changing moment.

Families gathered around the radio to hear Lone Ranger. 87799 on Fox. Give us a call. What comes to mind? 877-99 on Fox again we're Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio we leave for this city tomorrow morning we will be in Vegas for the Benavitas fight what's up trip hey gentlemen how are y'all today we're good man what's up okay so back in the 80s when we first got cable TV I used to go because I grew up in the southeast I used to go visit my grandfather every Sunday we used to sit outside and listen he was a diehard

Yankee fan we used to sit out there and listen to the game and that's the way I was brought up I know it's a little off subject, but that's how I was bought up. Listen to baseball. Dude, it's not off subject at all because there's a lot of people that still think baseball is the best radio sport. I agree with that. I do. If you're stuck in the car and a game's on, you're stuck in the car and a game's on basketball, football. This is definitely great play-by-play people.

But baseball, there's something about baseball on the radio. That's why you see a bunch of nerds at the stadium with their headphones on. My summer, my summers were narrated by the great Vin Scully. For real. And my childhood wouldn't have been the same without. that dude. He's playing around in the backyard and you hear the game, you know, you have the game on. Absolutely. I think that's one of, that would be it for us, I think, growing up, because I didn't listen to shows like the lone rain. We didn't have that option. Exactly. Josh in Ohio, you're on with Kavino and Rich. What's up, buddy?

Hey, guys. A show that I watched about the 60s, which had a narrator on it, I believe was Daniel Stern from the Home Alone movies, was the Wonder Years. I think it told the story of the 60s. And it really, it just gave a visualization for, I'm an 80s baby, but it really gave an idea of what it was like for my parents to grow up in the 60s. That's a great answer, man. Josh, not only great answer, but I think you and Kavino just broke the glass on something. If you were an 80s baby like Josh and me and a lot of people, if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, wonder years, Dexter, I'll throw in how I met your mother. Narration, why do we love narration? Because honestly, there's just something different about it. And it really goes back to old school shows on the radio. People love narration. Everybody hates Chris.

Narration. Those would all translate well, yeah, when you think about it. Listen, coming up, we talk to David Benavides, champion that fights this weekend in Vegas. So hang tight. That's next right here on CNN. 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 did a podcast.

invent it. We just contributed to it up. 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.
