Tell me what you're. know is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is,

getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

it's our new Friday game the NG gives us some quotes we just guess who said it it's multiple choice. It's easy. Your chance to win now. So while we get the phones going, Rich, I want to give you some fight rumors, right? We talked baseball. We took little football. You know I'm a big fight band. There's some good fights this weekend. I'll tell you about

in weekend hobnobbing. There's a few rumors. I want to throw them out there. And you just tell me which one excites you the most. By the way, did you tell Danny Chia to send your mom a new Swiggy? Danny, did you hear the story of Kavino's mom and the Swiggy? No. Someone heard that her last name was Kavino.

Right. In the neighborhood. In the New Jersey and was like, wait a minute. You're Steve Kavino's mother? I'm a huge fan. My mom was like being weird and like sitting on the front porch, like taking in the sun or something. And a guy was like, are you Steve Kavino's mom? She went in the house and she's like, the least I could do is give you his swiggy.

Swear to God, she gave way her swiggy. Wow. Yeah. Well, she's always promoting too. So cool weird guy in Union, New Jersey. Shout out to you. Yeah. Coe of all add your mom onto the next mailing list.

Nice. Nice. I appreciate it. But they're real nice. So if you want to play and you want to win, 87799 on Fox. Now, here are the rumors as of today. As you know last weekend, it was the weekend before recently, Bivel beat Bettev right, 175 undisputed now.

Okay. According to today, rumors, because you never know what this stuff, right? WBC is ordering Bivel to fight the Mexican monster Benavides. So that's one rumor. Okay. That seems to be legit, but again, you never know what this. stuff. Bivel Benavides. Now, for people that don't know, I hear Bivel, I hear

Bavell, but he's the guy that, if I'm right, didn't he beat Canelo Alvarez? He did at 175. So he's the guy. He's got all the belts and now they're saying, WBC is saying, you got to fight David Benavides. Okay, so Bivel Benevian. Yeah.

Bell Bivel, del Bile. Yeah. Bell Biv better BF. That's a mouthful. Play the rim shot on yourself. Thank you. Now, this. is also legit, again according to you never know, in

the world of boxing. There is going to be an unbelievable card in the works May 2nd, Times Square, reported by Ring magazine. It's like all the big stars. Stars. Of the junior welterweight division, the

140 pounders are fighting on one card, dude. So you got Ryan Garcia who's back. I was going to say he was suspended versus Roli Romero. So two trash talkers with a lot of pop fighting each other. Garcia shouldn't beat him, but Roli's good, though. Well, Tank Davis said that Roli was the hardest he ever has been hit.

Okay, so Garcia Roli. He just has a glass chin. This is all the same card, mind you. Okay. So Garcia Romero, Devin Haney versus Jose Ramirez, a former champion, Bato Loco Forever. Jose was on our ESPN show, Real Nice Dude. Tiafima Lopez and Barbosa. all on the same card, dude.

Teofimo. Those are three, I wouldn't say top, top tier fights, but those are three top tier fights on the same card. Yes. And then if you're a boxing fan, and I know because Kavino, I always hear him talk about it. Teofimo, Barbosa, Ramirez, Roli, Garcia, these are all big names in that division.

Again, May 2nd, New York City, all on the same card. And then this week, I don't know if you missed it, but Floyd Money Mayweather was on Jimmy Fallon. and he was asked like, what about Jake Paul? And he's like, easy work. He's like, easy work. Kid to me? At 48, I'll whip his ass.

That's easy work. I'll beat his ass. Jake Paul is now like, I'll knock him out. Are you kidding me? Look how much bigger I am than me, weather. I'm like twice his size. And now this is building up slowly, but surely it's a spectacle. It's stupid.

But it's building. I'll say that. So of all those awesome fights and a stupid spectacle that's being hyped, which one excites you the most. My answer is going to make you want to throw open your mouth if you're Mayweather and Jake Paul. Oh, listen, because Mayweather, he's 48. He just turned 48.

Undefeated. That's 10 years younger than Tyson who couldn't get the job done. But he's also a lot smaller, dude. A lot smaller. But he's had some pretty decent looking exhibitions here and there. Yeah, he's in shape. Mayweather way smaller versus Jake Paul.

That to me. intrigue, right? Because of the big size difference, Jake Paul significantly bigger. The ultimate skill and defense of a, and again, remember, Mayweather fought Logan Paul, so it's not out of the question. It's Paul versus small. Yeah, let me tell you, Mayweather, I would say this, I don't think he could hurt Jake Paul. Well, again, those are the rumors, some of them are legit, some are, you know, you just never know, things fall through all the time, but as a fight fan, those excite me. Maybe Jake Paul, maybe Floyd Mayweather

outboxes him and just makes him look like, all right, you're just not there because Mayweather's got that defense and the skill. Maybe he'll outland punches, but the only part of that fight that seems boring to me is, like a lot of Mayweather fights, I don't think

Mayweather packs a punch that could hurt a guy as big as Jake Paul. Jake Paul, I was saying, Jake Paul's big. He's our side. He's a six-foot guy. Mayweather's a small dude. All right, well, your thoughts at Covino and Rich

at Fox Sports Radio and there's some great fights this weekend that I'll tell you about and weekend hobnobing. I watch all of them. Yeah. But I think most would just casually watch Mayweather, Jake Paul. I hate to say it. I know, right? People want the spectacle, but there's some good stuff and it works. So now it's

time to play the game. Sports media and athletes are quoted a lot. Stars. Attract other stars. Here comes the hot take quotes. Andy Weed should step down his head. coach. This is not a one game we ask him because they lost. In this game, you guess the talking head. You can quote me on that. Quote me.

Yay, welcome in to a Friday. Quote me on CNN. What up, Danny G. In this game, Covino, you've got to tell me who in the sports world said it. All right? Simple as that. All right. We're going to meet the contestants. The Howard Stern Fartman character creator, Steve Covino, right over there. Is that true? That's a great a fart man. Yes. You know Covino used to work at K. right? Wasn't he also the stand-in for the butcheeks? He was, yeah. To the right of him, current 49er

wine, Somalié, Rich Davis. That is me? He wore the Testudo Bird costume for four years, Spotty Boy. That is true. How did you know that? In for Dan Byers, the man who was once mistaken for Arnold Schwarzenegger at a Chargers game, Isaac Lowencrown.

Chargers. And looking to win a CNR Stainless Steel Swiggy on the studio lines. All right, ILO, I'll use you for this. Would you love? Go! I heard that. Chajas. Go. That was me. Get to the Chajas now. To travel to beautiful Paradise, California.

Get that housekeeper away from me. Sorry. Whoa. Ro! Erie, Pennsylvania. Corvallis, Oregon. Sacramento, California. Fort Lauderdale, Florida, or Phoenix, A.Z.

All these are tough. Did you say A. Z? Lauderdale's great Brazilian steakhouse there called Chima. You know what? I'm going to go Lauderdale. You can go, all right, that's Jorge. Jorge. Jorge.

How are you? Happy Friday. What you do for living there in Fort Lauderdale? Happy Friday, guys. I'm a technician for AT&T. Nice, man. Nice. Okay, really quick, since the first time a lot of you are playing this game,

I'll give you a sample question here. All right, here's the quote. Quote me. Who me? For all I know, I would have been in the pros. I would have been David Wright instead of David Wright. I remember if I'd go Opo instead of being like, oh, I went with the outside pitch.

Oh, you're not getting around. on the ball. Whose quote is that? A. KFC. B, Rich Davis, or C, Jason Smith. Spot. Spot.

Rich Davis. Yes. Oh, so yeah, I did say that. Wow. You said that? Did you actually, wait, did he actually say this? Did he use the word opo? I thought this was a joke.

He actually said this? Rich said this. This is how it sounded on the CNN show. For all I know, I would have been in the pros. I would have been David Wright instead of David Wright. I remember if I would go oppo, instead of being like, oh, I went with that outside pitch, Oh, you're not getting around on the ball.

I'm like David wrong, bro. My coach is growing up used to tell me if you don't get around on the ball, like, that's not good. I'm definitely not putting five on that. You know, when quoted and on paper, it makes me want to punch me in the nose. That could have been David right, bro. You could have been David, right? But he had too much big league chew.

There it is. All right, here we go. This is for real. Round one. Here comes the Coke, guys. Your name is your buzzer, right, Danny? Yes. It is a doggy bag, as in Aaron Rogers is ready to dine on leftovers.

He is perfectly fine and realizes his place in the cosmos. If the Rams send Matthew Stafford to Jersey and the Giants, Rogers will slide on into the penthouse apartment in the RAM facility. Quote me. Who me? A, Dan Patrick. B, Ben Mallor, or C, Doug Gottlieb. B, Covino.

Ben Mallor. It was Ben Mallor. You know why? You know why? Because I listen to a lot of Ben Mallor. And he just cuts everybody up, dude. I thought that was going to be Stephen A. Yeah, no.

If you gave me a Rob Parker, I can see Doggy Bag. I could have saw that, but it had to be Ben Mallet. This is what it sounded like. It is a doggy bag. As in Aaron Rogers is ready to dine on leftovers. He is perfectly fine and realizes his place in the cosmos. If the Rams send Matthew Stafford to Jersey, and the Giants, Rogers will slide on in

to the penthouse apartment in the RAM facility. And you know what? That storyline is now dead because we found out today. Stafford's staying with the Rams. So quickly, who will go to Jersey? Covino is on the board as we moved to round two. Here is the quote. They know who Luca is.

They've watched him for seven years. It ain't like that this is a knee-jerk reaction and they just knew him from the weekend and made a snap decision on who he is. Quote me. Is that me? A. Rob Parker. B. Nick Wright.

Or C. Mike Harmon. I'll give you a chance. Jorge. No, no instincts here or what? We're trying to get you. Yeah, man. B. B, you're going to go Nick Wright. No. Isaac. Isaac for the steel.

C. Mike Harmon. No, you're all losers. Rob Parker. That was Rob Parker. This is what it sounded like. They know who Luca is. They've watched them for seven years. It ain't like this is a knee-jerk reaction. and they just knew him from the weekend

and made a snap decision on who he is. These do-do diapers. I'd like to register a complaint. You did not read that quote with the Rob Parker inflection. Rob Parker. Do you see the story how Jeannie Bus also was very pumped to get Luca because it was Gigi, Ryan's favorite player, and it meant a lot to Kobe.

And she knows he's happy up there that Luca's part of the team. I thought that was kind of cool. Covino, you're the only one on the board so far as we go to round three. Here's the quote. I'm going to keep it a big buck as I only know how to do. Steve Smith did you a favor, bro. He identified who you was actually married to. She ain't loyal to you.

She don't belong to you. If I'm Steve Smith, I would have added something else. I did what I was supposed to do. She threw it. I caught it. I'm a receiver. Quote me. Who me?

Who said it? Hey, Paul Pierce. B, Cam Newton or C, Stephen A. Smith. Oh, Kavino. C. Cove for the win. Stephen A. Smith, C. No. Rich, rich. Rich for the steel.

Cam Newton, Big. Yes, sir. By the way, that story is juicy, dude. Juicy. Honestly. This is the way it sounded. I'm going to keep with a big buck as I only know how to do. Steve Smith did you a favor, bro.

He identified who you actually was married to. She ain't loyal to you. She don't belong to you. If I'm Steve Smith, I would have added something else. I did what I was supposed to do. If you don't know the Steve Smith story, look it up. It's a weird one. All right, here we go, round four, both C and R on the board.

Here's the quote, guys. He really don't have anything else left to prove. And if people say he does, they're Jordan fans. He's in here before the game, always putting in work. He never stops, which is very impressive because sometimes I just want to lay down and take a nap. quote me. Who me? Was that A, JJ Reddick, B, Dalton Connect, or C, Austin Reeves?

Austin Reeves. Oh. Jorge, you got to say your name. C, Austin Reeves, Jorge. Yes, Jorge jumps on the board. That was a big quote this week, yeah. Yeah, for a three-way tie, Covino, Rich, Jorge, and Fort Lauderdale all on the board. Guys, that means we go to overtime.

Here's the quote for overtime. I think the fans here tonight. even the magic fans, they know they're witnessing the greatest shooter ever and one of the greatest performers ever. It's not just the shots going in. It's the fluidity and the beauty of his motion and the audacity, the shots he's willing to take. Quote me. Who me?

Was that A, Steve Kerr. B, Jimmy Butler or C. Buddy Healed. Rich. B, Jimmy Butler. Oh, Rich got in their first. I'll give me a chance. I don't think it's Jimmy Butler. I'll let him guess.

That is not Jimmy Butler. That is Buddy Healed. No, you're both. I love it when he's confident and wrong. I love it. You are so confident. All right, one more overtime. Question here to try to get a winner.

Oh, my goodness. Here's the quote. Yeah, good game. I want teams to believe I can go out there and win games. If a team wants a winner, a franchise leader, they know who to call. Quote me. Who me? Was that A, Shador Sanders.

B, Dylan Gabriel, or C, Jackson Dart. George. Chador Saunders. No. Covino. Somebody for the win. Covino for the win. DART.

No. Spot. B. Oh, bro. I have a way to solve it. Ready? Yeah. Here we go.

Quote this. You guys are all idiots. A, Danny G. How am I the idiot? You guys didn't get the answers right. No, did you? B or A. Wow.

Oh, I got you. That's a good one. You're the host. All right. Is it a drawer? It's a draw man. Because of that? nobody wins this week.

I mean, well, Joe means Jorge wins. I think you're right. And we always have that rule Dan Byer put in. If somebody puts a good game on the board, we mail them a swiggy. Yeah. If you bring the enthusiasm like Jorge, we got you, bro. We got a swiggy, man. You hailed out when we went to distance.

You win. Yeah, stay on the line, brother. Thank you, man. That was a good one, Danny G. Some of them I knew Jorge got the best of me on that, on that Reeves one. knew that quote. Those were good ones, man. Thank you. I feel like the clue for a Rob Parker one is if it's preposterous.

Right. But I got to hear the voice because I love Rob's voice. Oh, ha. Oh, man. That was a good game. Danny. Good stuff, man. Rob Parker. All right. Hey, we got more Kavino and Rich coming up. We're going to talk a little more NFL. Now that Matthew Stafford is a ram, what does that mean next for the remaining quarterbacks in the NFL? We'll speculate a little bit, have some fun with that. And weekend hobnobin. I got two shows that we have not talked about yet that are must watches outside the world of sports. Plus, you didn't finish talking your smack

about the Big Vanilla Sports Poppy. Oh, yeah, you know what? You forgot your own question, you bozo. I'm going to repost it at Covino and Rich. And if you go on Instagram, I want you to tell me, do you think our pal here at Fox Sports Radio, the big...

Is he the Big Vanilla liar? The Big Vanilla BJ Vernon Husky. Did he make this shot in crypto on his first try, or do you think he did this 20 times? He was covering a Lakers game. Yeah. And he's on the court, and he's there like, look at me. I'm a big shot.

And I'm going to prove it. And he took a big shot. And it depicts that he made it on his first attempt from like, you know, three point range. Do you think? And we're like, that, do you really think he got it first shot? You know, I'll show him a little love on our Instagram. At Covino, Rich, you can vote. Was it his first shot?

We're not more. CNN next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, we're Kavino and Rich. We're not TV weathermen. But we know about driving in winter conditions.

We have some big news. What's the news, Nick? 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 throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And 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.

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.

Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines.

He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey.

I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levin this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your 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. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. everybody thinking of Farley and Swayzee or no? I mean, how do you not? Today's Friday. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio live from the Tyrek.com studio. Super pumped about the weekend. And we're going to get you pumped about the weekend with weekend hobnobbing.

And make the rest of this month count. Have a great Friday night. Get involved. Enjoy your Friday. Enjoy some paradise. I might be watching Paradise, Rich. I don't know. We'll see you in Weekend Hobnobbing.

I'm going to do one last ditch effort to get you to watch a couple fun shows. Now, before we get into your big vanilla sports poppy question and weekend hobnobbing, I heard Colin talking about stars and stars. Stars. And he went on this long LeBron rant about how he's probably the second best player in the league. Yokic being number one, I guess. But you got Janice, KD, Curry, all these big names. LeBron playing like he's 27 years old.

Defense, shooting, revitalized. Like he found the fountain of youth. But the gist of Collins' theory was, is LeBron just showing off reminding everybody that you have to get through him on the West? Now that Luca's there. Is he reminding everybody that, you know, I'm still the guy? Did Luca force his hand?

to find the fountain of youth, meaning you see how Curry's sort of lighting up now that Butler's there. And he also ties into the Super Bowl when Brady was looked at like the old guy and Mahomes was the fresh new face. And Brady wanted to remind everybody real quick, like, nah, I'm still Tom Brady. I'm still the guy. It's a great way to light somebody's fire to bring some young blood in there. and to wake up that old dog, is Luca in a competitive way, in a healthy way, lighting LeBron's fire, reminding LeBron, like,

yo, you got to be the guy, you're still the guy. I think that's a great sort of way to look at things. And I think you see that at the workplace. I really do. You know, when Youngblood is in there, it keeps everyone else on their toes. It really does. So I buy into that.

Because you do see LeBron playing like, whoa, how old is this guy? How is he doing this? Don't you believe, Danny G, that it's not that Luca's exciting him. He's also like, yo, I'm still the best. And it's like a healthy competitive back and forth. I think another great thing about the acquisition for the Lakers is LeBron would go to the bench. The B squad would be in and get behind in the game.

LeBron would always have to come back onto the court when the Lakers would suddenly be trailing. Now there's the option of having another superstar on the court while he's taken a few minutes to catch his breath. When he gets back onto the court, the team still has a 10-point lead. So he physically is getting this advantage. But, you know, people are saying, dude, he seems like he has more energy than Luca. At 47, Lucas 26. Let me give you a silly analogy, but you see it all the time.

When someone has an aging pet, a lot of times when they get a puppy, it brings that aging pet back to life. The old lazy dog all of a sudden starts playing again. Like there's that sense. We've seen it with, you know, your family, your friends where it's like, yeah, old, you know, buttons the golden retriever has been lazy and sitting around forever. You get a little puppy. That old dog starts playing fetch again for some reason.

And we're seeing that with Steph and Butler. We're seeing that. We saw that with Brady versus Mahomes. He's like, no, no, no. It revitalized him. And we're seeing it in one of the grandest ways. possible with LeBron for multiple reasons. It's just that fire inside and he's actually getting more rest as a result.

But it's kind of wild to see. And I think your analogy, Rich, I think it's so true here. It inspires a lot of people. It reminds other people that they got to step their game up too. And no one wants to feel like the old lazy game. At the workplace, you bring in some young man or woman with new fresh ideas and they're young. The old people sometimes out of insecurity, you're like, oh, crap, I better step it up. And honestly, it's true with pets.

You get an old, you know, lazy hound sitting around and you get some little yappy little puppy brings a little life to the old time or so. So do you think, again, Colin was saying he's the second best player in the league. Do we agree on that right now? Maybe right now. LeBron is lighting it up. But then again, so are the Golden State Warriors, man, since Butler's been on the team. So there you go. the LeBron

Fountain of Youth theory makes a lot of sense when you think about the old dog and by the way, today do they take Luca out for a little birthday cocktail or dessert after the game? Happy birthday Luca. He's

26 today. 26. So happy birthday. Your young buck just showing this guy's got 50 you know, LeBron's got 15 years on this guy. So LeBron's showing the fountain of youth and tonight, Lakers, Clippers

Clippers are favorite. Is that because Lakers played more this week? Yeah, and there was a couple of injuries, a big one to Rui and his knee in last night's game. And at the end of the game, it looked like LeBron maybe tweaked his hamstring a little bit. So it might not play full tonight. Some injuries going into this game for the Lakers. Well, if you go to our Instagram story right now at Covino-Ritch,

I mean, I'm not saying millions of people have voted so far, but it is currently 100% to zero of people that, think VJ Vernon Husky took 25 shots instead of nailed it on his first shot. If you don't know what I'm talking about, one of our coworkers posted a video. He's a great broadcaster, by the way, listening out for him, VJ Husky. He was at the Lakers game covering the game, doing the behind the scenes, interviews and everything. And he goes on the court, grabs a basketball, three-pointer, nothing but the bottom of the net. So our question was, but he's pretending like, you know, first shot.

And I'm thinking, was it first shot? Or do you think he's like, yo, yo, record this? All right, do it again. All right, do it again. And again. All right, do it again. And again. Was it really shot 25?

There's no way. There's no way. Dude, if you post a video with your wife. Your perception's a little off when you're there in a big moment like that too. Like, it's going to take you a few just to find your rhythm. You know what I mean? Think of how many times you record something on Instagram or TikTok for your wife or kids or something. that do you ever take the first take?

No. Has the first take of anything, unless you're Frank Sinatra. It's like you always burn the first pancake, Rich. You'll always burn the first. Danny G., if we take a picture of us, what do we do? We always take multiple pictures. If we do a video like, you know, Janie G, come over here. Let's do that again.

Let's do a better one. Yeah, rarely does the first one come out the right way. When you're trying to do something athletic, especially like make a long shot. Another one. It would surprise me if he did that on a lot. was first. But then again, for what I know, he was an athletic dude in high school. He just decided to go to broadcasting. You know, he works with radio legend Steve Hartman this Saturday on our network from 8 to 11 Eastern. I'm going to text our boy Steve Hartman right now to bring

this up on their weekend show. Look, no one's saying he can't make a three, we all can make a three-point shot. I mean, did he make it on his first shot? We're the pocket square and a tight suit on. Yeah, that's the question. The analogy for me would be, I love baseball, right? There's a decent chance, especially without a doubt, with an aluminum bat, I kid at a home run out of Dodger Stadium. Wooden bat, I don't know. Maybe I have warning track power.

Maybe I could do it. That's up for debate. But that would be like me being like, yo, grab a bat. First swing, bomb. Who you want, Soto? Yeah, exactly. So, I mean, like, I admire the gusto. Oh, he has one vote.

One person? One person? Yeah, it's his own vote. It's 847 votes to one. No, all right, so hit the producer up and maybe they'll talk about it this weekend. But hey, having fun here. Friday, Kavino and Rich. Let's go to ILO for an update. And then I got to know what we're watching this weekend.

Not only in the world of sports, but I have three things I want to tell you guys to check out. So hang tight. What's up, Ilo? Fox Sports Radio's Rich Davis under fire for referring to LeBron James as a decrepit old dog not long for this world. Quote him. I love LeBron. It was a great. I don't call in as an announcement?

though. I really feel that. I think Luca lit his fire, brought some fun competitive spirit back to the Lakers. He's revitalized, man. I'm refreshing LeBron's Twitter feed as we speak for the inevitable comeback. Anyway, in actual NBA

news, fellas, the Philadelphia 76ers are shutting down Joelle Embed for the rest of the season due to ongoing issues with his left knee. The Sixers said in a statement, Embedd is medically unable to play and will now focus on treatment and rehabilitation. No word yet on what this means for the status of Paul George's podcast. Anyway, the Boston Celtics ruled out Chris Stap's poor Zingas for tonight's game against Cleveland due to illness.

In the NFL, Matthew Stafford, staying with the Los Angeles Rams. Multiple outlets report he's reached agreement on a restructured contract to remain in L.A. Multiple outlets also reporting the Rams have agreed with left tackle Alarick Jackson on a three-year $57 million extension. Or Hawkeye. Yeah. Front Office sports reports that NFL film, could not find an NFL team to be featured on the next off-season installment of hard knocks. So instead, the series will follow the North Carolina Tar Heels and new head coach Bill Belichick. No word yet if NFL films considered the possibility of a hard knucks, of a hard knocks, Indianapolis, Starbucks.

Back to you guys. Thank you, Isaac. Have a great weekend, buddy. Enjoy. And enjoy that hot date tonight. Looking handsome. Going on a date. The governor.

Friday night. she might be your mate. I found my thrill. There you go. Isaac Lowencrime. All right. Well, hey, coming up, some weekend hobnob and what to watch

in the world of sports and entertainment. Any game stand out, any new streaming show stand out. I got a couple, and one has to do with basketball. I watched episode one last night, and I got to give you the review next. It's on Netflix. And you might not even know about it. Have you heard about Running Point?

with Kate Hudson. No. I'll tell you about it and all the shows to watch this weekend. Next, give me known rich. Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

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

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking, I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. 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.

I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real.

He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world,

he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levan this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your 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. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Today's Friday. Friday. Today's Friday. Today's Friday. Friday. Covino Enrich on Fox Sports Radio

So Fox Sports Radio has to be number one. I heart radio app. Thank you. Boom. Bam. Shazami. Now, listen, there's a lot to get to. I have a little extra time for weekend hobnob and let's go.

Living for the weekend. You're winning bets for talking points if you get stuck socializing. You ever done anything dangerous? You ever dance with the devil and the pale moonlight? That is dangerous. Friday brings us. Weekend Hobnobnobie. Yeah, buddy.

I'm going to kick it off. What you need to watch in the world of sports and pop culture. So come Monday, you know what's going on. You can carry a conversation. You caught a little bit of everything, all right? Trying to keep you well-rounded. CNR on FSR. Now, we talked about some good fights.

If you get caught, by the way, what's the rule now, the new rule? If you get caught talking to like a weird co-worker or a parent at the school, if you get stuck in a moment, be like, hey, have you checked out, Covino-Ritch, grab their phone and download a podcast. There you go. I like it. That's the new get out of an awkward scenario move. I like it.

So in the world of fighting on Amazon pay-per-view this weekend, Durante Tank Davis defending the WBA lightweight championship belt at 135 against Lamont Roche, who's 251-1-1. So Dravante Tank Davis fights this weekend. Germante ain't losing. I don't think he's losing either. He's undefeated. I think Mario Barrios is on that card too.

Anyway, I'm excited just to watch that one. Again, pay-per-view. in the world of the UFC. Oh, what you got there? Mono Cop is fighting. He's fighting Al-Mabayev. And that's a flyweight fight, UFC fight night. But Brundage versus Marquez in the co-main event is going to be an exciting one.

That's a middleweight fight. Did you say Robocop's fighting? Robocop. Monel Cop. Oh, okay. I swear I heard Robocop. No, no, no. By the way, speaking of UFC, did you see that the UFC might have a collaboration in training

FBI agents? No way. Did you see this? I did not. Imagine in the middle of an FBI bust in incomes Feech Buffer. Fighting! They should recruit Kianu. Kianu should train the FBI. I'm being serious, that's a real headline I saw today. New leadership

at the FBI and, you know, Dana White, Trump, they're kind of buddies. Yeah, it makes sense. It's all kind of circular. I mean, it's speaking of fights, Trump got in a pretty good fight today. I don't know if I saw that. And by the way, you know, when I think about it, it sounds equal parts ridiculous, but equal part makes sense. I guess so. Like I mean, right? I mean, we haven't seen the results of it.

UFC training FBI guys. I mean, hand-to-hand combat. I mean, stranger things have happened. So some good boxing, some good UFC, UFC fight night. And I just want to shamelessly promote what I think is one of the best shows that we do, that we have, our bonus podcast. Episode 82 of Overpromised premiered this week. And we get you fired up some more about baseball, the greatest sport. We talk about nasty Nestor Cortez in the World Series last year, but we get you excited about baseball coming soon.

And we talk Gene Hackman. We do a little Gene Hackman tribute and go over some fictional coaches in a world of sports, TV, and movies. All right? So overpomised, that's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page, stuff you need to watch this weekend. You can finally watch Paradise?

I might, actually. Yeah. I think I might. Is it because? I know you hate my opinion because you know just our relationship. But when every other friend you have is like, dude, he's reasonable. I'm starting to get a little bit of fomo because everyone. And I don't want the surprise room. I know there's a twist.

And I feel like I'm on the cusp of finding out what that twist is. I want to discover it on my own. I'll tell you right. No. My wife, it took her the first two episodes to really, by the third. She was like, okay, I get it now. I'm hooked. So we're on episode four now, Rich.

On Paradise? Yes. Episode 7 of Paradise. I'm hearing it's like the best episode ever. It might be the best episode of a TV show since maybe like Red Wedding on Game of Thrones or one of those like, yo, that could be a movie. That episode could be a movie. So if you're watching Paradise, it's on Hulu, Sterling K. Brown from This Is Us, James Marsden, who you said, how do you not love that guy? He's great.

James Marsden's great. There's a show that I started watching last night in the same vein as Paradise. Um, zero day with Robert De Niro. You may think De Niro stinks as a, uh, a guy these days. Like he's very, you know, politically, like he's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. But as an actor, he's still, a little bit. He still brings it. A little bit.

Zero day. See, like 83? Zero day. He plays a former president and let you say there's like a cyber attack and a lot of crap goes wrong. And he's sort of thrown into the mix as a former president. They trust you, go. And it's one of those like end-of-the-world type of deals.

Yeah, watch the trailer. It looks good. I watched this again? Zero Day on Netflix. Netflix. It's a six-part mini-series. Episode one, so far so good. So both in the same vein.

Paradise and Zero Day. If you need something lighter, I watched this one last night, late night. On Netflix, Kate Hudson, based on her close relationship with Jeannie Bus. a television show loosely based on Jeannie Bus's life. It's called Running Point. She takes over a fictional L.A. basketball team. What are they called the Los Angeles Wave? Like, they can't use the Lakers or anything,

but she takes over the wave. And it's like a rated R funny comedy about, you know, Kate Hudson now in charge of a basketball team. And I watch episode one. It was entertaining. I like Kate Hudson. So if you like Kate Hudson, if you like basketball, it's a good show. And Jeannie Bus is behind it.

Apparently, Pepperdine did not like the use of the term wave or waves and the color scheme. And they're like, they're upset. And I think they're filing like a lawsuit or something over some of the likeness that has been borrowed for the show. Pepperdine right here in LA. Now it's to get canceled, just like winning time. But no, honestly, Danny Jay, if anything, I feel like you would like that because the Jeannie Bus, Lakers, it's clearly the Lakers. because they talk about their legacy

and you see all the trophies and it's the lakeers but it's the wave. New episodes out today of the latest season and Love is Blind, season eight. And guys, after a two-year wait, Yellowstone fans are going to like this on Paramount Plus the second season of 1923, which is the prequel to Yellowstone.

Harrison Ford is back as Jacob Dutton, the camera work, the storyline, the cast, amazing. So 1923. Harrison Ford's been working a lot in his 80s. that dude needs to relax, but he's bringing it, huh? I think if he slows down, he's going to kick the bucket. I feel like he's done more in the past few years than he's done in, like, his entire 70s.

Yeah, I think you're right. Maybe he was inspired by a young dog. Maybe. Danny G. I have a question about Love is Blind, though. I started it. Does it get better? It picks up or no?

Or is this a boring season? I like it. Have you got to the point where, you know, the attractive yet crazy blonde with the tattoo on her chest? I just think she's attractive. Maybe I like crazy people. I don't know. If you think she's not crazy, then that's the problem with you. Maybe I haven't gotten to that part.

It gets good. I think it gets good. Have you not noticed as like three or four love triangles? Like who are they going to pick? Yeah, I don't know. I feel slow to me. Maybe I'm not caring as much about these strangers as I used to. Yeah, there's a couple of good storylines.

It's worth getting to the good stuff. All right. In my honest opinion, I'm actually excited to watch it tonight. So, yeah, it does get better. Really quick, too, on the NBA tip Sunday. Nuggets at the Celtics. That's worth watching. That's a daytime game.

And then at night, Clippers at the Lakers for the second time in a weekend that the two face off against each other. So, hey, lots to check out. Spot, anything you want to add? Is there anything in the theater? Is it a dead time still? Well, Captain America Brave New World is still allowed. You got the Academy Awards on Sunday. Did you guys mention that?

The Oscars are this Sunday. 97th Academy Awards. Hosted by Conan. Conan, freaking O'Brien. You know, that's what's not. Let's go. That's what we're tuning in alone for. I'm being serious, Sam.

that alone. I will tune in for that because of Conan. I will watch the opening simply biggest Conan's hosting. Are we rooting for Salome or what? Shama. Shama. Of course.

Shalameh. Shalame. Have a great weekend. Enjoy. Until Monday. Enjoy your weekend. Arrevanee, baby. We will see you in the promise land.

Oh, Shenamee. Shalami. Shalamata. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin.

And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our. own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. And hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the Aihar Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.

As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
