We turned our hump day into a hump night. Last night.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We were speak for you. I had a great party
with great people.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
We saw some.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Colleagues and clients and friends and.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
All sorts of people.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Man, we saw Colin Cowherd yesterday it was cool to
catch up with Colin and Jason McIntyre for the first time.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Believe it or not, we never met the guy. I
never met him. I saw Nick Wright.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know people that you know, you would think we
may see more often, but don't. Yeah, I mean like
ships in the night. You know, you don't always see
each other. You're on different schedules, you work in different places.
So a lot of hobnobbin, a lot of boozing and schmoosing.
And that's all part of the fun leading up to
the super Bowl itself. It's all the events and all
the parties leading up to it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So a great night, great time yesterday, and happy to
be here today.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
As far as the boozing, yeah, part of the schmoozing.
Shout out to the rapid radio guys.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh my goodness. They party on a level that I'll
be honest, I have to a minute. I can't hang.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I was like, I can't do any shot. I think
they held me down to do some shots at one point. Yes,
they helped you down. Remember that old cartoon where where
they hold down that dog and they put gravy down. Yeah,
it was kind of like that. That's what it's like.
Partying with them. But yes, such a great time.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Doubt drink, my uncle, They drink like Canadians, yes, or
like college kids exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So again, happy to be here today Thursday, getting closer
to the super Bowl, and we got to talk about
other observations that we made at the party. We had
another party at lunch party earlier today and two funny
stories we'll share with you.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We're gonna get to a lot of NFL a little preview,
of course, as everything culminates with Super Bowl fifty nine
on Sunday, Chiefs Eagles.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Everyone you ask says the same thing. It's no one knows.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Because they're like, well, you'd be a fool bit against
Ma Hoomes, but say Kwon Barkley looks unstoppable.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's a narrative that everyone shares the same exact sentiment.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, nobody knows anything. No one knows Queens of the
Stone Age style.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Now I think you're gonna say Tony Rich project, No, No,
no one cares about that song.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Let me, nobody knows it but me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You just like one down to my cool reference with
that weak ass song. But anyway, sorry, you don't like
love jams from the nineties.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I like Queens of the Stone Age much better. No
one knows, nobody knows anything. But let me give you
a weak example. I pointed this out earlier. I think
there's a lot of people that downplay the amount of press.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That athletes have to do.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right, There's so many question answers, press, people that want
to say hello, taking pictures, signing autographs. It's Super Bowl
Week and we're part of the media, and being part
of the media on Fox Sports Radio means we have
to meet with a lot of sponsors.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
We have lots of meetings.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
There's always these business dinners and get togethers, and Rich
and I are exhausted. I mean exhausted. We're super hyped
to give you our best for the next two hours.
Don't worry about that, but deep down we're exhausted. We're
debating should we go out tonight. That's how exhausted we are.
I feel lame by even discussing that, But I told
give you a da gee, I said, But my point
in bringing that up is, Rich, can you imagine how
(05:10):
they feel, how the athletes feel when everybody and their
mother wants a piece of it and they want to
know how they're feeling, what's going on, would you eat today?
Where you're going later? You know, there's so much going
on leading up to the game. It's just an added
thing that people really don't factor in, you know, which
is why they take the athletes that are actually playing
in the game at and isolate them, take them out
(05:31):
of this mix.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
These are guys, it's exhausted.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
If you hear us talking to someone, it's always going
to be an athlete that season's done, a retired athlete.
The media for the guys in the Super Bowl is
isolated to a couple hours of press events and then
they're back to practice, back to planning.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
My grandma used to say, you know why people get
constipated when they travel, because they're out of their comfort zone.
They don't have their comfort Yeah, and imagine traveling that
much during the year. These guys obviously are better at
it than we are, but it's it's a lot. It
takes a lot out of you to go from and
be pulled around from place to place, from media stop
(06:06):
to media stop.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You've seen I saw this morning.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Burrow being harassed by twenty different reporters, and everywhere he
went there were people surrounding him, and I was thinking, man,
he has to deal with that all day long.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It's all year, same with you know, rock bands, athletes,
the amount of talking they have to do, amount of press,
the amount of traveling.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
We all know this.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
We have to do this for one week as a show,
and it's so much and so exhausting. So you can
imagine how these guys feel just trying to put it
in every day.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Every guy's perspective.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Not complaining at all, not complaining, just explaining, just explaining.
And Covino's right, it's it's exhausting in a fun way,
to the point where I said to Cavino, in the
lamest way, you know, I'd be cool if we have
a fun time doing the show, grabbing night's dinner, get
some rest tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And I feel so lame saying that because his events everywhere.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah, I'm protesting because the great award winning Chris Stapleton
is performing tonight. And as my better half texted me
to tell you guys, she said, tell them they are
lame because people pay thousands of dollars to see this
guy perform in large arenas and you have a chance
to see them for free tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
In an intimate setting.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Lamping and hotel sounds more enticing.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, yeah, I got it. I don't care about Chris Staples.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm not a country guy, but he's more than country though.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah he do you know he rocks the show.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, anyway, there's so much going on, so you can
imagine how these athletes.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
And the week.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Hey, maybe we'll go. I'm not counting it out. But again,
we had another party earlier today. It was more of
like a lunch meeting party.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I don't even know how to describe it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
But again, there's so many events going on before the
super Bowl even happens. And two things happened and I
thought were really funny. One involves my buddy to the right,
Rich Davis and Fox Sports Radio z own LeVar Errington.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now, I you know he pulled the move that, you
know what, the more I'm thinking about it, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
One of those have I been led astray for years.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I get a cocktail at the bar, so, like you said,
it's a little lunch meeting with sponsors and all the
people that help us here at Fox Sports Radio, and
I'm in a conversation. It's myself, LeVar and a bunch
of people with Mako. I know they do a lot
of work I think with Colin or Dan.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, manko. Yeah, So I'm talking to these nice people.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
They were great, and LeVar is like, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
He looks at my cocktail. You have a straw.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He takes the straw out of my glass and he throws.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
He goes, you welcome, be man, be a man. It
never dawned on me that if you have a mixed
drink or a cocktail, are you.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
No straw action. I mean, I never thought a straw.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
It was a crazy straw, a silly straw.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
So that'd be cooler with loops. So I thought that
was a little odd. Yeah, I learned that years ago.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
One.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
It looks lame if you're a guy. It looks weak
sauce if you're a guy to hold one of those
feminine looking wine glasses. Yeah, so you asked the bartender
please pour that in?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Like, but is that overcompensating, Danny g Like, I get it,
there's a lot of people to criticize you, But is
that trying too hard?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Like worrying too much how you're perceived?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
You know, maybe, but there's a certain look that you know,
especially if you kind of got a rugged looks to you,
and suddenly you're sipping a straw out of an alcoholic
beverage that don't look right.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'll give you this, damn if I get. If I
get some type of tasty looking martini, Rich always asks
for a little umbrella. No, I'll ask the barte and
I'll say, yo, can you put that? You know that
Martini extra cherries?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Can you put it in a Rocks glass? And it's
not because I'm insecure. First of all, I think martini
glasses are awkward, and I know I'm gonna spill it right,
but sometimes you.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Do want to just hold the glass.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But it never dawned on me that if I'm having
a vodka soda, if I'm having a Tito soda, if.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I have a little straw.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
LeVar impersonated me and had to make up people laughing.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, Rich, He's like, look at Rich Davis. And I.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Jumped in like afterward when this happened, he said that
you had the pinky up and everything. So imagine Rich
Davis talking to clients drinking a cocktail out of a
straw with the pinky up.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So and he was coming down hard. I'm rich.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And then Rich said, well, Cavino does the same thing.
So they were all waiting to see how I got
my drink, and just coincidentally, I didn't get a straw,
and Rich says, you always get a straw. But the
truth is, and then LeVar got on me about this too.
I only get a straw when I'm having iced coffee
because someone once told me that it helps you not
(11:08):
to stain your teeth because you know you're passing your
teeth with the straw. So if you're drinking a nice coffee,
use a straw and your teeth won't get stained as fast.
I don't know if there's any truth to that whatsoever,
but it got in my head and I've always done
that since. So dumb question number one, because you know
that's what we provide here on Covino Jo. But Rich
was the butt of the joke and it was great,
and I'll be honest, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I never mind being the butt of the joke. But yo,
LeVar was cracking me up. So shout out to our
buddies at two pros and a cup of Joe, Jonas
Lvar and Brady LaVar was roasting me, and honestly, I felt.
I felt like he was doing stand up and I
was the guy in the front row, you know, the
crowd member getting roasted. So moving forward, now, every time
I get a cocktail at the bar, I'm gonna second, guess,
(11:52):
can a grown man use like one of those little
bar straws.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, but you weren't using a little bar show, you
were using a regular straw. Yeah, little bar straw.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Comes with it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You stirred a little bit, you know, and it comes
with it. Rich was using a regular straw. It was
Paul straw though, like the ones you get in a
big gulp at seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I was saying back in the studios, you make the
call Fox Sports Radio Nation. I was Samuel, what do
you think, man, if you were out and about would
you say no way to a straw?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Would you never even think about it?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Yeah, I've heard that the like the regular big gulp
straws and no no. But you know, you take those
little cocktail straws. And back when we were in college
we go out to the bars, the dudes would like
bend it over the rim and hold it like that.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
That was the cool thing.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
To do for bendy straw. But they didn't have any.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah, that's a shame. I don't think they have this
anymore children, our buddy West.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I'll looking on our feedback at Coveno and Rich on
Instagram and Twitter. I'm sorry X he said, bro, never
use a straw, You're a grown man.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I didn't know this was an issue, you know, Robin
Philly and sometimes no, no, no, because there was one time.
It is another true story guys where sometimes you just
lost the memo or you didn't get it in the
mail or whatever. You threw this memo away with your
junk mail. Someone said to me, wait, you still wear
white briefs. And I'm like, not tidy whities. Let me
(13:10):
make that clear. Not tidy whities. Those are for superheroes
and you're dead. Not tidy whities, but actual boxer briefs.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, I thought he was joking. We were in a
business trip. This had to be maybe ten years ago.
Someone someone was like, you wear white ones. I'm like,
why no one wears white ones. I'm like, I got I.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Wore white under Wars. It's some nice So you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Know, I took the notes right, and I stopped to
earn white ones. I didn't stop wearing them. You know,
it's it's news to a lot of people that you're
not supposed to use a straw when drinking a cocktail.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But here's why it's important.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know, if you are with clients or people you're
trying to impress or you know, you're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Judged in a weird way even though you shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
You might.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
And LeVar was honest enough to call out Rich and
you know we had a good laugh at his expense.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
So you know, what about wearing a big oversized hat.
Look at we We're looking at jam Newton. There his hat.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You know what, the mountains, the mountis here are probably jealous.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Of that hat.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I gotta ask you.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Though, imagine if he drank out of a straw? Are
there with that hat?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Other? Other? How do I? How do I say this? Other?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Later in life discoveries where you're like, oh wait, I'm
the only one that does that?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
How was I the last to know? Can I tell you?
I know there's gonna be a ton of people being
like yo, Rich or an ass.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You know, my wife gets on me for something that
I was like, everyone does that, and she goes, uh no,
it's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
When I go to the gas station, I pump my guess,
and I don't always turn my car off.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I don't either, Yeah, And she's like, she's I know,
I've been yell that.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
It's like the gas station might blow up.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'm like, I'm like, babe, that's like a nineteen fifties r.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Somebody could flick a cigarette butt at you, Rich and
you dangerous guys, dangerous. But if my car's off, it
won't burst up. Yeah, I don't know. I'm with Rich
on that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And again, we're from the East Coast where we pumped
our own gas, you know, so I mean we never
pumped her, Oh I did. I lived in New York,
so right, Rich did? I didn't know from Jersey. Jersey
people don't pump their ow we I don't know if
you know that we don't.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Pump our guests. We pump our fists.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
So any other discoveries feel free to chime in at
Covino and Rich. If you think that it's fair game
for Rich and maybe the bar was just a little
too hard on me, you can let us know. Otherwise,
it's just a reminder to you that, hey, people are watching,
and it could be perceived in a friendly way, but
they do make their judgments, So keep the pinky down
(15:25):
and don't use the straw.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
And there was another story too. I got one.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
One of my buddies had never heard of this. This
is like one of those chivalrous ones.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
We were walking around town with another couple, and I
was always taught to be a gentleman.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
The man walks closest.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
To traffic, right, Oh yeah, yeah, and you keep your
wife or girlfriend on the inside.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That way if a car jumps the curve.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, that's why I do the opposite.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah. I was like, we married, you're gonna go first.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I had a buddy be like, I've I've never heard that,
and he's like, so every girl I've been with things,
I'm rude. I'm like, maybe because if I'm telling you now,
So if you guys have any examples of course, eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox at a little fun icebreaker here
on Fox Sports Radio today, Becauess, I'll be honest. We
are surrounded by football, and I feel like we've had
eighteen weeks plus playoffs, an amazing NFL season that all
(16:22):
culminates in a couple of days. So just just chopping
it up with people about something stupid like straws was
a good a good break from football.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Absolutely again, chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio. Thanks again for all the feedback. There was
a side story before we get into hanging with Andrew Whitworth,
a side story about our boss. Let's just say our
boss and we'll get to it later on no doubt.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Hey, your thoughts at Covino and Rich.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm gonna check our feedback down because there has to
be There has to be other examples of this, like
you never mew like, how how did did my dad
forget to teach me?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Did I just missed this day? You know, not to
call out.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Our buddy spot who does all the videos again with
Elijah and Saga, lots of videos, guys at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio so he could play long
at home. You know, he didn't date a lot in
his younger days. He just didn't. He married his first girlfriend,
he didn't date a lot. Now he's making up for
lost time.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
So nobody taught him about condoms.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Nobody taught him honestly, like simple things like don't walk
ahead of your girlfriend, don't walk ahead of your wife,
and you see that now he's so rudely walking ahead
of the pack. All he does that with his wife,
but he's never been like how many times you got
nudge by like a girlfriend or like stop walking ahead
of me and you realize as a young man, like, oh, yeah,
I guess that's rude. Nothing like he never knew any
(17:47):
of those not to not to sound sexist, but our
buddy Spot didn't know like one of the major rules
of women, which is they're not always They may say something,
but they don't mean it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Spot's wife when they were dating, got in an accident.
She's all good now, but she hurt her knee. She
was in the hospital about to get knee surgery, and
she said, you don't have to come visiting me at
the hospital.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Just do what you're doing. And he's like, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I'm like, dude, that's code for I want you at
the hospital. Like he's like, yeah, but she should that.
I'm like, you never learned the lesson of like she
might not be telling you.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So sometimes if no one, if no one told us,
how are you supposed to know? Can he notes any
learned that lesson what his mom said, You don't need
to get me anything at the Mother's Day Book fair.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And he said, okay, you learned that when you were nine.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It was a holiday boutique.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, So anyway, if you have any other examples, like Sam,
you got one, I hear I was Sam.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh I was Sam's Like, I know, I know everything?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well, God, we have Bejeon Robinson stopping by later today
on the show. We still have lots of football to
talk about, lots of moves in basketball. There's even fight updates,
so there's so much more to get to.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
You know what I thought about with you because I
know you admire Steph Curry's game and Jimmy Butler's your favorite,
like rando player.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, how do you think that's gonna work out?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I think he's gonna do well there in playoff, Jimmy's
gonna step up. They're gonna be better as a result.
But so many other teams are making so many better moves.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah, they're not beating a couple teams we could talk
about later in the West.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Manig with offensive tackle NFL hosts an analyst on Prime.
Let's welcome Andrew Whitworth. I'm dude, okay man. First off,
I know you're a big dude, but in person, you're
a house people need to understand. Six foot seven beefcake.
Pleasure to meet you, man, Hey, mister clean with.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Man, I brought a friend today? Can spring a friend day?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I totally should have ft with him because he was like,
so Wentworth's He's gonna playing mister clean in a super
Bowl at ago.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh I should have said, yes, I know he's not.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I don't know. We don't know, like the idea though.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah right, So, hey man, thanks for your time, thanks
for being here. Obvious thing out of the way. When
we were getting ready this morning, he was gonna wear
the jacket and the hoodie and I'm like, no.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That's his thing.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I can't. So you kind of ruined it for everybody.
But is there a partnership in the works here or what?
You gotta have people reaching out to you. Yeah, that's
what I keep saying. The biggest thing I've missed out
on is I don't have a hoodie line. You know,
I should. I should have my own brand of hoodies,
that's for sure. Maybe that may we'll work on that.
You have to, I have to. We got to get
that done, that's for sure. Amazon, Come on, what are
we doing with wasting time? I like that, you know, listen,
(21:24):
it's good. I need to get it done. It's been fun,
it's you know, it's something I always wore hoodies. Being
a big guy was obviously a much bigger human, even
bigger than I am now.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
When I was playing, you know, you hate collared shirts.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Collar shirts always like sat out, like I never the
two buttons, no chance, and just like you never know
what there's.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Almost the buttons. Listen.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I couldn't button any buttons because my neck was so
big and my back was so big. So I mean,
you know, I just hated them, And so I got
into wearing hoodies and T shirts like everywhere I went,
so I either wore a jacket and a T shirt
or wore a jacket and a hoodie. And I happened
to wear a hoodie and a jacket to our first
dinner at Amazon, and they're like, you look good in that,
Like would you want to wear that for the game,
like with a suit. I was like, yeah, it's come
such a thing, and it's a thing like either people
(22:02):
hate it they love it and it's great. Like people
are like, dude, you're a disgrace to the game of football.
They're like, because you have a hoodie on TV, which
I think is just like crazy and it's nine. And
then there's people who are like constant dms, please dude,
the brand. I need the brand, like I'm getting my
husband something for Christmas, or my wife loves these, I'm
gonna get a bunch because she wants me to wear them,
you know. So it's just it's awesome to see how
(22:24):
explosive it is. People either just absolutely love it hate it,
and then some people have kind of come around over
the years and they're like, hey, dude, I didn't like
it at first, but now I kind of like it.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You know, it's refreshing because we've talked for years about
how the sports world it's a bunch of dudes drinking
and hanging. Oh yeah, But yet in the broadcasting world
of sports, suiting up it's right, doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Like all the guys that are watching or we're in
T shirts, hoodies, just chilling.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
It's like like when you watch teams travel right, like
the reality is dude, like when you're like, oh man,
this team doesn't dress up like the guys who, like,
I know, old schools, like you wear a suit.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
When you travel on the plane and land. Like here's
the truth.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
We wear T shirts and shorts and probably aren't even
wearing underwear to work on most days with flip flocks,
Like we don't work that kind of job. We show
up and put on pads and play football. So like
the whole idea of us wearing business suits or any
of that is like, it's just crazy. So it is
funny like that you're almost just playing a character to
show up to the game. Like you don't ever dress
(23:20):
like that ever, ever, but all of a sudden you
put on a suit to go, put on your pads
and your jersey.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, to talk to some guy with face paint on. Yeah, yeah,
Andrew Worth hanging with Commito and Rich.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So the transition to the broadcasting world for you, everyone
seems to love you, which is great because I wanted
to ask, do you think people and fans are more
critical of players or announcers these days?
Speaker 6 (23:43):
It kind of feels like it's starting to become more
about analyst announcers like wildgo after Yeah, And so it's interesting.
I think for me it's one of those things that
it's been fun to kind of figure it out over
the last three years, like who you kind of feel
yourself bean and where you want to go with it
because there's so many lame you could And I think
to me, you look at some guys get in and
(24:03):
they want to have a hot take because they just
want to get people to splash on, you know, coming
after them, and they love the attention, and then they
don't like it. Everybody gets mad at them and then
they kind of back off a little bit and kind
of change their tune. Or other guys maybe don't say enough,
and you're like, man, I'd love you to have something
more opinionated. I think they try and find themselves. I
think for me it was like, man, I just want
to be like really good at being true to who
(24:24):
I am and like if whatever's coming out of my
mouth is like just what I feel, and like it's
not about a take, it's not about a like, it's
just in my emotion in that moment when I'm watching
this play, this is what I feel like it needs
to be better.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
This is what I think is awesome.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I don't want to give praise to this is a
guy that I feel like is doing it the right way,
or this is somebody that feel like, man, they really
need to check themselves, because I can see the problems
they're going to come down the road for them if
they don't do X, Y and Z, and so I think,
to me, it's just if I can stay authentically me
through that whole process.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's what's the most important thing. Yeah, you don't have
to question, right.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Yeah, when I get done, Like listen, if people like
me or not, they like the hoodie or they like
my body, like that's for them, Like they're gonna decide
whether like me or not. But I think what they'll
appreciate is, like this dude's always him. He never needs
to be a character to be himself, Like he is
just him. And that's what I try to stay.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Andrew Whitworth here with Cavino and Rich you played most
of your years with the Bengals, then you wont with
the Rams. What was that transition, Like, what do you
think Luca's going through right now? And your boy Cooper
Cup who might not be on the team isn't going
to be on the team moving forward?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
What was that like for you? Man?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Yeah, it was obviously a massive change in life. I mean,
Melissa had four kids that were, you know, basically at
that time five and under, So you know, we were five, five, four,
and I think two when we made that move, and
so it was a massive move to move across the
country and obviously been an amazing blessing and changed changed
our lives for sure, not that we didn't enjoy Cincinnati,
(25:46):
but just it was just a wild change in adventure, right,
which adventures usually do. But then I look at like
other guys have experienced that, you know, you look at Luca,
Luca right now. I mean, that's a big, massive change
as well.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Right.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
I kind of called it out when he went, you know,
I tweeted out, like, you know, the last time they
got seventy seven in LA, good things happened, right. I
even realize that actually happened for the Kings too. They
got Jeff Carter and won two Stanley Cups. He was
number seventy seven as well. You used to play for Philadelphia,
So it's actually happened two times in a row. So now,
Luca trifectos, Let's go babies, Yeah, seven to seven, let's
(26:21):
go sevens. Let's win another one in LA. That would
be fantastic. And talking about Coope, man, listen, unbelievable human.
You know, life's been changed just from being around this guy.
His impact on our locker room, his impact on the players,
the coaches, the building.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
He is a really special.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Human being and incredible knowledge of the game. I mean,
any team that gets him. Man, there I would if
I was a team, young quarterback, new coordinator, any of
that type stuff. Man, this is gonna be the smartest
guy in the room, maybe even smarter than the guy
who's calling the plays.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
And you want that guy to.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Be able to articulate what it looks like, the spacing,
the time, and the rhythm snap in and snap out.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
What's the vision for how we want to look?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
H Cooper is going to be like having a Sean McVay,
but as a player on the football field for you,
and I think that's something really I think only for
the Rams, it's because they have Pooka. It's like, all
right and you've trained Pukah. But for another team, man,
I would be saying, this is the kind of dude
at whatever I got to do to get me in
my locker room for my young receivers and my young quarterback,
(27:22):
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We talked to Puka about it yesterday. He's seen bummed
on a flip side on your buddy leaves the team.
That's got to be tough too, and we heard you
reached out to him because you guys are like family.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
When you went together. It's a deeper bond.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, And uh, you know obviously it's raw
emotion when something like that happens, right, and so you're upset.
I mean, no matter what, that's not what you want
to hear is gonna happen. Cooper is the kind of
guy like he's going to respond to that adversity in
an amazing way. But man, you talk about the impact
he's had on Pooka in every second they spend together
in so many ways it don't even have to do with.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
A football field.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Puoka will be forever changed and in his in his mindset,
his mentality, like his daily appro coach and process to
how he chases greatness because he got to be around
Cooper sold with that entire receiver room and much less
that than the entire locker room. So you know, I
think that's why, I mean, Coop's gonna have a huge impact.
But a guy like Pooka, you've gotten to see what
it looks like, what does that chase look like, what
(28:15):
does the work day in and day out look like?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Can you now go be that?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I always say that as a player, when you get
in the league, it's like you get drafted, you get
this opportunity to like show who you are and try
to make a name for yourself, and all right, whoa,
this guy's going to move to that next contract. He's
a guy who's gonna make it to a second contract.
But then it becomes all right, you're great. What's your
impact on everybody around you? What's your impact on our offense?
What's your impact on our group? Not just about just you?
(28:40):
And you have to take those little steps all throughout
your career. Pooka's is just getting accelerated a little bit
with Cooper leaving, but he's got to become.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
A leader of that group and he's built to do it.
And you were a leader on the Rams.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
He's one of the guys that even if you're not
a Rams fan, when he won, people are happy for you.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
No, it was like, man, pretty pre epic.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Man, that's your witworth, feel good story. The transition to broadcasting.
People love you there, so you're you're a comfortable guy
and who you are because people like you.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
But when you get up.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
There and address a stadium and a country after the
wild fire, oh man, first of all, how early do
you find out you're doing that? And even a guy
like you do the nerves kick in, like oh what
am I gonna end?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yeah? You know, it was wild.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
We were actually doing Thursday night you are Amazon on Prime.
We had our first NFL playoff games, so we're doing
Steelers Ravens and you know, in in Baltimore. And so I'm,
you know, I'm going to that game and I get
a text on like I think it was Friday or
something like hey, the league's out of like a cool opportunity.
They think like it would be awesome if since the
(29:41):
game's getting moved, you know, for you to maybe address
our fans and blah blah blah blah. And like I'm thinking,
in my mind, this is like, oh okay, like sometime
way before the game starts, like just fans that are there,
I'm gonna get, you know. And then as I'm realizing
like oh no, no, no, this is like right before the
game kicks off. So it's like you kind of got
to get nerves. And I get to get there the
game and I realized that they've got this Beyonce stage
(30:03):
I'm gonna stand on, as I called it, because.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's like this elevated stage.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
And then like it's ESPN and they give me my
head set and they're like, oh, Joe Buck's gonna say
you're down there. And then there's this guy who's gonna
say go, and I'm like, oh my gosh, like this
is live Monday night football, playoff them It's go time.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
So uh, I will say that is.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Probably the most nervous I've been for like something, because
that was you have forty seconds. Yeah, we're gonna say go.
The national anthem is starting in forty seconds, get it out.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, oh yeah, because it's like you got forty seconds,
he's gonna say go, the national anthem starts. You don't
have a clock anywhere, so you're hoping what you just said,
it's forty seconds that it was real, Like I was
a little like afterwards, like all right, that was.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Until where your kids like that?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
That was cool?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Did you like your kids now sort of understand more
of what dad does.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
It was honestly awesome, not just for my family, but
just people really accost across the country, across sports just
in general role that we're watching that game and kind
of felt that emotion and probably had some feeling they
were feeling about everything that had been going on. Anyways,
that reached out just with love and stuff. From that,
it was a really cool like you try to pull
your passion and all out and give it to people
(31:15):
and tell how much you care about them, but then
to also get it back from people.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
It was a really neat moment.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
That's Andrew Whitworth as an analyst, and by the way,
you're doing a great job. I have one last question
because it's probably going to be the topic of discussion.
If Mahomes wins four and six years, is that better
than seven and twenty three years? Is he the go
It's gonna be an ongoing gotta hit the conversation.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
But you know, if it takes up Lebron mj then
it's not bad.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
I do agree with that. I would rather not discuss
any of them. But man, here's what I keep you know,
I keep saying I do think he is Michael Jordan.
I will say that now. Whether people think that Michael
jordan'sould go to basketball or not to go to basketball,
blah blah blah blah. I just think that's who he
is in our game. Would you look at all the
great players that he's blocking from their opportunity When you
(32:02):
look at Josh Allen, you look at Lamar Jackson like yeah,
and you think of Jordan and those eras and all
the people would have had a championship if they just
didn't have to face him more. Barkley and I do
think that, but I I think it's harder to argue
that the winningness because I think that that probably says
that you have to stay with Tom because of all
the you know, all the trophies, but the best, you know,
(32:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I you know.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
It was having this coach the other night, with that
NFL head coach and was like, hey, I don't know,
he might be the best though the three he might
be the best it's ever playing.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
That's wild. He might not be the winningness, but he
is probably the best. Now it's never gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You're here at mister clean Magic eraser.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
And by the way, I'm taking these home because he's

I do one.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Listen to one for one for one yard, one touchdown,
one route, that's one catch, one yard. That's the way
touchdown on my birthday. Yeah really on my birthday twelve twelve,
twenty ten in Pittsburgh, opening drive of the game. Fun fact,
I actually think that we need to get the NFL
history on this. I need to I need to get
the league to do this. I was the only offensive
(33:59):
touchdown scored in that game. So Steelers had two pick sixes.
I think can beat us in a low scoring game.
But I was the only officer. So I would love
to know how many games an offensive lineman has been
the only offensive touchdown in the game.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
On their birthday. Old record for that. I'm just looking
for a record than Andrew.

Continued success. Yeah, I appreciate you. We got more coven

to today's story we never got to. Before we get

all these people radio, row, Lunches, Dinners, convention Center. There's
(35:25):
one of the clients for Fox Sports Radio that went
up to our buddy Weese, who works.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
In the promotional marketing team.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
He's the guy that's responsible putting together the set all
the great events.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
He's a great dude.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
They went up to him and thought he was Mike Harmon,
and they were like, I love.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Your show, Mike Carmon, one of the hosts here on
Fox Sports Jason Smith with Mike Carmon.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Jason Smith's best friends.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And we were all we're all dying laughing because we're like,
he thinks you're you're Mike Carmon.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
That's not the funny part of the story.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
As we're laughing about all this, we're with our boss
Don Don Martin, the big guy that runs Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
iHeart Yeah. Some older woman infiltrates our circle.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
And she's like, excuse me, yeah, she like she separates
us from Yes she did.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
I'm so sorry, pardoned me. Could I get a picture
and our boss.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Don's like, oh with Coveno and Rich and she's like, no, no, no,
I don't I don't know him with you.
Speaker 4 (36:21):

He's like, who do you think I am?
Speaker 8 (36:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Keep in mind we're all surrounding him because he's a
super charismatic guy and he's our boss. And he's a
tall guy. I'm super tall, and you know, he looks important.
And he goes, who do you think I am?
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Wait, you're not Dan Marino?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
She thought he was Dan Marino. You know again, it's
super Bowl week. He's got that look about him.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
He does, and so no, he has quarterback face, like
to you, has ednyone ever mistaken you for a celebrity?
And my super Bowl tip is I always say this,
if you're over six two and you're a black man,
go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
You could tell any women you play for the NFL
and they will believe you and you can get some
random booty. There you go. Yeah, learned the benefits.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
You're gonna have a lot of fun today In fact,
on today's show, got Andrew Whitworth.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh I thought JG. Wentworth was something I totally misunderstood. Uh,
he'll probably be rocking a blazer and a hoodie. I
was like, he's a real guy, No way.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Uh Vjon Robinson one of the top you are you
three to five running backs in the NFL? In fact,
say Kwon Barkley called him a top three exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So you never know who's gonna stop by Radio Row.
We've had lots of great guests all week. If you
missed any of them, catch it on the podcast search
Covino and Rich and I think Gary V will be
on our bonus pod over promise, so be sure to
follow over promised on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You know I on the bonus pod. Let's be honest.
Gary Ve does not like to keep it clean.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, yeah, he has a potty mouth, so Gary V,
so that there anyway, come off another great night.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
We turned our hump day into a hump night. Last night.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We were speak for you. I had a great party
with great people.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
We saw some.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Colleagues and clients and friends and.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
All sorts of people.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Man, we saw Colin Cowherd yesterday it was cool to
catch up with Colin and Jason McIntyre for the first time.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Believe it or not, we never met the guy. I
never met him. I saw Nick Wright.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know people that you know, you would think we
may see more often, but don't. Yeah, I mean like
ships in the night. You know, you don't always see
each other. You're on different schedules, you work in different places.
So a lot of hobnobbin, a lot of boozing and schmoosing.
And that's all part of the fun leading up to
the super Bowl itself. It's all the events and all
the parties leading up to it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
So a great night, great time yesterday, and happy to
be here today.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
As far as the boozing, yeah, part of the schmoozing.
Shout out to the rapid radio guys.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh my goodness. They party on a level that I'll
be honest, I have to a minute. I can't hang.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I was like, I can't do any shot. I think
they held me down to do some shots at one point. Yes,
they helped you down. Remember that old cartoon where where
they hold down that dog and they put gravy down. Yeah,
it was kind of like that. That's what it's like.
Partying with them. But yes, such a great time.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Doubt drink, my uncle, They drink like Canadians, yes, or
like college kids exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So again, happy to be here today Thursday, getting closer
to the super Bowl, and we got to talk about
other observations that we made at the party. We had
another party at lunch party earlier today and two funny
stories we'll share with you.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We're gonna get to a lot of NFL a little preview,
of course, as everything culminates with Super Bowl fifty nine
on Sunday, Chiefs Eagles.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Everyone you ask says the same thing. It's no one knows.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Because they're like, well, you'd be a fool bit against
Ma Hoomes, but say Kwon Barkley looks unstoppable.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's a narrative that everyone shares the same exact sentiment.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, nobody knows anything. No one knows Queens of the
Stone Age style.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Now I think you're gonna say Tony Rich project, No, No,
no one cares about that song.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Let me, nobody knows it but me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You just like one down to my cool reference with
that weak ass song. But anyway, sorry, you don't like
love jams from the nineties.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I like Queens of the Stone Age much better. No
one knows, nobody knows anything. But let me give you
a weak example. I pointed this out earlier. I think
there's a lot of people that downplay the amount of press.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That athletes have to do.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right, There's so many question answers, press, people that want
to say hello, taking pictures, signing autographs. It's Super Bowl
Week and we're part of the media, and being part
of the media on Fox Sports Radio means we have
to meet with a lot of sponsors.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
We have lots of meetings.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
There's always these business dinners and get togethers, and Rich
and I are exhausted. I mean exhausted. We're super hyped
to give you our best for the next two hours.
Don't worry about that, but deep down we're exhausted. We're
debating should we go out tonight. That's how exhausted we are.
I feel lame by even discussing that, But I told
give you a da gee, I said, But my point
in bringing that up is, Rich, can you imagine how
(05:10):
they feel, how the athletes feel when everybody and their
mother wants a piece of it and they want to
know how they're feeling, what's going on, would you eat today?
Where you're going later? You know, there's so much going
on leading up to the game. It's just an added
thing that people really don't factor in, you know, which
is why they take the athletes that are actually playing
in the game at and isolate them, take them out
(05:31):
of this mix.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
These are guys, it's exhausted.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
If you hear us talking to someone, it's always going
to be an athlete that season's done, a retired athlete.
The media for the guys in the Super Bowl is
isolated to a couple hours of press events and then
they're back to practice, back to planning.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
My grandma used to say, you know why people get
constipated when they travel, because they're out of their comfort zone.
They don't have their comfort Yeah, and imagine traveling that
much during the year. These guys obviously are better at
it than we are, but it's it's a lot. It
takes a lot out of you to go from and
be pulled around from place to place, from media stop
(06:06):
to media stop.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You've seen I saw this morning.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Burrow being harassed by twenty different reporters, and everywhere he
went there were people surrounding him, and I was thinking, man,
he has to deal with that all day long.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It's all year, same with you know, rock bands, athletes,
the amount of talking they have to do, amount of press,
the amount of traveling.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
We all know this.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
We have to do this for one week as a show,
and it's so much and so exhausting. So you can
imagine how these guys feel just trying to put it
in every day.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Every guy's perspective.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Not complaining at all, not complaining, just explaining, just explaining.
And Covino's right, it's it's exhausting in a fun way,
to the point where I said to Cavino, in the
lamest way, you know, I'd be cool if we have
a fun time doing the show, grabbing night's dinner, get
some rest tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And I feel so lame saying that because his events everywhere.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah, I'm protesting because the great award winning Chris Stapleton
is performing tonight. And as my better half texted me
to tell you guys, she said, tell them they are
lame because people pay thousands of dollars to see this
guy perform in large arenas and you have a chance
to see them for free tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
In an intimate setting.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Lamping and hotel sounds more enticing.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, yeah, I got it. I don't care about Chris Staples.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm not a country guy, but he's more than country though.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah he do you know he rocks the show.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, anyway, there's so much going on, so you can
imagine how these athletes.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
And the week.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Hey, maybe we'll go. I'm not counting it out. But again,
we had another party earlier today. It was more of
like a lunch meeting party.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I don't even know how to describe it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
But again, there's so many events going on before the
super Bowl even happens. And two things happened and I
thought were really funny. One involves my buddy to the right,
Rich Davis and Fox Sports Radio z own LeVar Errington.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now, I you know he pulled the move that, you
know what, the more I'm thinking about it, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
One of those have I been led astray for years.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I get a cocktail at the bar, so, like you said,
it's a little lunch meeting with sponsors and all the
people that help us here at Fox Sports Radio, and
I'm in a conversation. It's myself, LeVar and a bunch
of people with Mako. I know they do a lot
of work I think with Colin or Dan.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, manko. Yeah, So I'm talking to these nice people.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
They were great, and LeVar is like, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
He looks at my cocktail. You have a straw.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
He takes the straw out of my glass and he throws.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
He goes, you welcome, be man, be a man. It
never dawned on me that if you have a mixed
drink or a cocktail, are you.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
No straw action. I mean, I never thought a straw.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
It was a crazy straw, a silly straw.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
So that'd be cooler with loops. So I thought that
was a little odd. Yeah, I learned that years ago.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
One.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
It looks lame if you're a guy. It looks weak
sauce if you're a guy to hold one of those
feminine looking wine glasses. Yeah, so you asked the bartender
please pour that in?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Like, but is that overcompensating, Danny g Like, I get it,
there's a lot of people to criticize you, But is
that trying too hard?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Like worrying too much how you're perceived?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
You know, maybe, but there's a certain look that you know,
especially if you kind of got a rugged looks to you,
and suddenly you're sipping a straw out of an alcoholic
beverage that don't look right.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'll give you this, damn if I get. If I
get some type of tasty looking martini, Rich always asks
for a little umbrella. No, I'll ask the barte and
I'll say, yo, can you put that? You know that
Martini extra cherries?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Can you put it in a Rocks glass? And it's
not because I'm insecure. First of all, I think martini
glasses are awkward, and I know I'm gonna spill it right,
but sometimes you.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Do want to just hold the glass.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But it never dawned on me that if I'm having
a vodka soda, if I'm having a Tito soda, if.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I have a little straw.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
LeVar impersonated me and had to make up people laughing.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, Rich, He's like, look at Rich Davis. And I.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Jumped in like afterward when this happened, he said that
you had the pinky up and everything. So imagine Rich
Davis talking to clients drinking a cocktail out of a
straw with the pinky up.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So and he was coming down hard. I'm rich.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And then Rich said, well, Cavino does the same thing.
So they were all waiting to see how I got
my drink, and just coincidentally, I didn't get a straw,
and Rich says, you always get a straw. But the
truth is, and then LeVar got on me about this too.
I only get a straw when I'm having iced coffee
because someone once told me that it helps you not
(11:08):
to stain your teeth because you know you're passing your
teeth with the straw. So if you're drinking a nice coffee,
use a straw and your teeth won't get stained as fast.
I don't know if there's any truth to that whatsoever,
but it got in my head and I've always done
that since. So dumb question number one, because you know
that's what we provide here on Covino Jo. But Rich
was the butt of the joke and it was great,
and I'll be honest, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I never mind being the butt of the joke. But yo,
LeVar was cracking me up. So shout out to our
buddies at two pros and a cup of Joe, Jonas
Lvar and Brady LaVar was roasting me, and honestly, I felt.
I felt like he was doing stand up and I
was the guy in the front row, you know, the
crowd member getting roasted. So moving forward, now, every time
I get a cocktail at the bar, I'm gonna second, guess,
(11:52):
can a grown man use like one of those little
bar straws.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, but you weren't using a little bar show, you
were using a regular straw. Yeah, little bar straw.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Comes with it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You stirred a little bit, you know, and it comes
with it. Rich was using a regular straw. It was
Paul straw though, like the ones you get in a
big gulp at seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I was saying back in the studios, you make the
call Fox Sports Radio Nation. I was Samuel, what do
you think, man, if you were out and about would
you say no way to a straw?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Would you never even think about it?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Yeah, I've heard that the like the regular big gulp
straws and no no. But you know, you take those
little cocktail straws. And back when we were in college
we go out to the bars, the dudes would like
bend it over the rim and hold it like that.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
That was the cool thing.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
To do for bendy straw. But they didn't have any.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah, that's a shame. I don't think they have this
anymore children, our buddy West.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I'll looking on our feedback at Coveno and Rich on
Instagram and Twitter. I'm sorry X he said, bro, never
use a straw, You're a grown man.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I didn't know this was an issue, you know, Robin
Philly and sometimes no, no, no, because there was one time.
It is another true story guys where sometimes you just
lost the memo or you didn't get it in the
mail or whatever. You threw this memo away with your
junk mail. Someone said to me, wait, you still wear
white briefs. And I'm like, not tidy whities. Let me
(13:10):
make that clear. Not tidy whities. Those are for superheroes
and you're dead. Not tidy whities, but actual boxer briefs.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, I thought he was joking. We were in a
business trip. This had to be maybe ten years ago.
Someone someone was like, you wear white ones. I'm like,
why no one wears white ones. I'm like, I got I.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Wore white under Wars. It's some nice So you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Know, I took the notes right, and I stopped to
earn white ones. I didn't stop wearing them. You know,
it's it's news to a lot of people that you're
not supposed to use a straw when drinking a cocktail.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But here's why it's important.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You know, if you are with clients or people you're
trying to impress or you know, you're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Judged in a weird way even though you shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
You might.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
And LeVar was honest enough to call out Rich and
you know we had a good laugh at his expense.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
So you know, what about wearing a big oversized hat.
Look at we We're looking at jam Newton. There his hat.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You know what, the mountains, the mountis here are probably jealous.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Of that hat.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I gotta ask you.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Though, imagine if he drank out of a straw? Are
there with that hat?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Other? Other? How do I? How do I say this? Other?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Later in life discoveries where you're like, oh wait, I'm
the only one that does that?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
How was I the last to know? Can I tell you?
I know there's gonna be a ton of people being
like yo, Rich or an ass.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You know, my wife gets on me for something that
I was like, everyone does that, and she goes, uh no,
it's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
When I go to the gas station, I pump my guess,
and I don't always turn my car off.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I don't either, Yeah, And she's like, she's I know,
I've been yell that.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
It's like the gas station might blow up.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'm like, I'm like, babe, that's like a nineteen fifties r.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Somebody could flick a cigarette butt at you, Rich and
you dangerous guys, dangerous. But if my car's off, it
won't burst up. Yeah, I don't know. I'm with Rich
on that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And again, we're from the East Coast where we pumped
our own gas, you know, so I mean we never
pumped her, Oh I did. I lived in New York,
so right, Rich did? I didn't know from Jersey. Jersey
people don't pump their ow we I don't know if
you know that we don't.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Pump our guests. We pump our fists.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
So any other discoveries feel free to chime in at
Covino and Rich. If you think that it's fair game
for Rich and maybe the bar was just a little
too hard on me, you can let us know. Otherwise,
it's just a reminder to you that, hey, people are watching,
and it could be perceived in a friendly way, but
they do make their judgments, So keep the pinky down
(15:25):
and don't use the straw.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
And there was another story too. I got one.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
One of my buddies had never heard of this. This
is like one of those chivalrous ones.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
We were walking around town with another couple, and I
was always taught to be a gentleman.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
The man walks closest.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
To traffic, right, Oh yeah, yeah, and you keep your
wife or girlfriend on the inside.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
That way if a car jumps the curve.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, that's why I do the opposite.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah. I was like, we married, you're gonna go first.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I had a buddy be like, I've I've never heard that,
and he's like, so every girl I've been with things,
I'm rude. I'm like, maybe because if I'm telling you now,
So if you guys have any examples of course, eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox at a little fun icebreaker here
on Fox Sports Radio today, Becauess, I'll be honest. We
are surrounded by football, and I feel like we've had
eighteen weeks plus playoffs, an amazing NFL season that all
(16:22):
culminates in a couple of days. So just just chopping
it up with people about something stupid like straws was
a good a good break from football.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Absolutely again, chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio. Thanks again for all the feedback. There was
a side story before we get into hanging with Andrew Whitworth,
a side story about our boss. Let's just say our
boss and we'll get to it later on no doubt.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Hey, your thoughts at Covino and Rich.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm gonna check our feedback down because there has to
be There has to be other examples of this, like
you never mew like, how how did did my dad
forget to teach me?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Did I just missed this day? You know, not to
call out.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Our buddy spot who does all the videos again with
Elijah and Saga, lots of videos, guys at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio so he could play long
at home. You know, he didn't date a lot in
his younger days. He just didn't. He married his first girlfriend,
he didn't date a lot. Now he's making up for
lost time.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
So nobody taught him about condoms.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Nobody taught him honestly, like simple things like don't walk
ahead of your girlfriend, don't walk ahead of your wife,
and you see that now he's so rudely walking ahead
of the pack. All he does that with his wife,
but he's never been like how many times you got
nudge by like a girlfriend or like stop walking ahead
of me and you realize as a young man, like, oh, yeah,
I guess that's rude. Nothing like he never knew any
(17:47):
of those not to not to sound sexist, but our
buddy Spot didn't know like one of the major rules
of women, which is they're not always They may say something,
but they don't mean it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Spot's wife when they were dating, got in an accident.
She's all good now, but she hurt her knee. She
was in the hospital about to get knee surgery, and
she said, you don't have to come visiting me at
the hospital.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Just do what you're doing. And he's like, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I'm like, dude, that's code for I want you at
the hospital. Like he's like, yeah, but she should that.
I'm like, you never learned the lesson of like she
might not be telling you.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So sometimes if no one, if no one told us,
how are you supposed to know? Can he notes any
learned that lesson what his mom said, You don't need
to get me anything at the Mother's Day Book fair.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And he said, okay, you learned that when you were nine.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
It was a holiday boutique.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, So anyway, if you have any other examples, like Sam,
you got one, I hear I was Sam.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh I was Sam's Like, I know, I know everything?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well, God, we have Bejeon Robinson stopping by later today
on the show. We still have lots of football to
talk about, lots of moves in basketball. There's even fight updates,
so there's so much more to get to.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
You know what I thought about with you because I
know you admire Steph Curry's game and Jimmy Butler's your favorite,
like rando player.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, how do you think that's gonna work out?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I think he's gonna do well there in playoff, Jimmy's
gonna step up. They're gonna be better as a result.
But so many other teams are making so many better moves.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah, they're not beating a couple teams we could talk
about later in the West.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So I think they got better, but not good enough.
So hey NBA.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Of course the backdrop, we're here New Orleans super Bowl
week and coming up next we're joined by a guy

I don't know. We don't know, like the idea though.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah right, So, hey man, thanks for your time, thanks
for being here. Obvious thing out of the way. When
we were getting ready this morning, he was gonna wear
the jacket and the hoodie and I'm like, no.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That's his thing.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
I can't. So you kind of ruined it for everybody.
But is there a partnership in the works here or what?
You gotta have people reaching out to you. Yeah, that's
what I keep saying. The biggest thing I've missed out
on is I don't have a hoodie line. You know,
I should. I should have my own brand of hoodies,
that's for sure. Maybe that may we'll work on that.
You have to, I have to. We got to get
that done, that's for sure. Amazon, Come on, what are
we doing with wasting time? I like that, you know, listen,
(21:24):
it's good. I need to get it done. It's been fun,
it's you know, it's something I always wore hoodies. Being
a big guy was obviously a much bigger human, even
bigger than I am now.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
When I was playing, you know, you hate collared shirts.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Collar shirts always like sat out, like I never the
two buttons, no chance, and just like you never know
what there's.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Almost the buttons. Listen.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I couldn't button any buttons because my neck was so
big and my back was so big. So I mean,
you know, I just hated them, And so I got
into wearing hoodies and T shirts like everywhere I went,
so I either wore a jacket and a T shirt
or wore a jacket and a hoodie. And I happened
to wear a hoodie and a jacket to our first
dinner at Amazon, and they're like, you look good in that,
Like would you want to wear that for the game,
like with a suit. I was like, yeah, it's come
such a thing, and it's a thing like either people
(22:02):
hate it they love it and it's great. Like people
are like, dude, you're a disgrace to the game of football.
They're like, because you have a hoodie on TV, which
I think is just like crazy and it's nine. And
then there's people who are like constant dms, please dude,
the brand. I need the brand, like I'm getting my
husband something for Christmas, or my wife loves these, I'm
gonna get a bunch because she wants me to wear them,
you know. So it's just it's awesome to see how
(22:24):
explosive it is. People either just absolutely love it hate it,
and then some people have kind of come around over
the years and they're like, hey, dude, I didn't like
it at first, but now I kind of like it.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You know, it's refreshing because we've talked for years about
how the sports world it's a bunch of dudes drinking
and hanging. Oh yeah, But yet in the broadcasting world
of sports, suiting up it's right, doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Like all the guys that are watching or we're in
T shirts, hoodies, just chilling.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
It's like like when you watch teams travel right, like
the reality is dude, like when you're like, oh man,
this team doesn't dress up like the guys who, like,
I know, old schools, like you wear a suit.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
When you travel on the plane and land. Like here's
the truth.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
We wear T shirts and shorts and probably aren't even
wearing underwear to work on most days with flip flocks,
Like we don't work that kind of job. We show
up and put on pads and play football. So like
the whole idea of us wearing business suits or any
of that is like, it's just crazy. So it is
funny like that you're almost just playing a character to
show up to the game. Like you don't ever dress
(23:20):
like that ever, ever, but all of a sudden you
put on a suit to go, put on your pads
and your jersey.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, to talk to some guy with face paint on. Yeah, yeah,
Andrew Worth hanging with Commito and Rich.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
So the transition to the broadcasting world for you, everyone
seems to love you, which is great because I wanted
to ask, do you think people and fans are more
critical of players or announcers these days?
Speaker 6 (23:43):
It kind of feels like it's starting to become more
about analyst announcers like wildgo after Yeah, And so it's interesting.
I think for me it's one of those things that
it's been fun to kind of figure it out over
the last three years, like who you kind of feel
yourself bean and where you want to go with it
because there's so many lame you could And I think
to me, you look at some guys get in and
(24:03):
they want to have a hot take because they just
want to get people to splash on, you know, coming
after them, and they love the attention, and then they
don't like it. Everybody gets mad at them and then
they kind of back off a little bit and kind
of change their tune. Or other guys maybe don't say enough,
and you're like, man, I'd love you to have something
more opinionated. I think they try and find themselves. I
think for me it was like, man, I just want
to be like really good at being true to who
(24:24):
I am and like if whatever's coming out of my
mouth is like just what I feel, and like it's
not about a take, it's not about a like, it's
just in my emotion in that moment when I'm watching
this play, this is what I feel like it needs
to be better.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
This is what I think is awesome.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
I don't want to give praise to this is a
guy that I feel like is doing it the right way,
or this is somebody that feel like, man, they really
need to check themselves, because I can see the problems
they're going to come down the road for them if
they don't do X, Y and Z, and so I think,
to me, it's just if I can stay authentically me
through that whole process.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That's what's the most important thing. Yeah, you don't have
to question, right.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Yeah, when I get done, Like listen, if people like
me or not, they like the hoodie or they like
my body, like that's for them, Like they're gonna decide
whether like me or not. But I think what they'll
appreciate is, like this dude's always him. He never needs
to be a character to be himself, Like he is
just him. And that's what I try to stay.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Andrew Whitworth here with Cavino and Rich you played most
of your years with the Bengals, then you wont with
the Rams. What was that transition, Like, what do you
think Luca's going through right now? And your boy Cooper
Cup who might not be on the team isn't going
to be on the team moving forward?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
What was that like for you? Man?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Yeah, it was obviously a massive change in life. I mean,
Melissa had four kids that were, you know, basically at
that time five and under, So you know, we were five, five, four,
and I think two when we made that move, and
so it was a massive move to move across the
country and obviously been an amazing blessing and changed changed
our lives for sure, not that we didn't enjoy Cincinnati,
(25:46):
but just it was just a wild change in adventure, right,
which adventures usually do. But then I look at like
other guys have experienced that, you know, you look at Luca,
Luca right now. I mean, that's a big, massive change
as well.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Right.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
I kind of called it out when he went, you know,
I tweeted out, like, you know, the last time they
got seventy seven in LA, good things happened, right. I
even realize that actually happened for the Kings too. They
got Jeff Carter and won two Stanley Cups. He was
number seventy seven as well. You used to play for Philadelphia,
So it's actually happened two times in a row. So now,
Luca trifectos, Let's go babies, Yeah, seven to seven, let's
(26:21):
go sevens. Let's win another one in LA. That would
be fantastic. And talking about Coope, man, listen, unbelievable human.
You know, life's been changed just from being around this guy.
His impact on our locker room, his impact on the players,
the coaches, the building.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
He is a really special.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Human being and incredible knowledge of the game. I mean,
any team that gets him. Man, there I would if
I was a team, young quarterback, new coordinator, any of
that type stuff. Man, this is gonna be the smartest
guy in the room, maybe even smarter than the guy
who's calling the plays.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
And you want that guy to.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Be able to articulate what it looks like, the spacing,
the time, and the rhythm snap in and snap out.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
What's the vision for how we want to look?
Speaker 6 (27:02):
H Cooper is going to be like having a Sean McVay,
but as a player on the football field for you,
and I think that's something really I think only for
the Rams, it's because they have Pooka. It's like, all
right and you've trained Pukah. But for another team, man,
I would be saying, this is the kind of dude
at whatever I got to do to get me in
my locker room for my young receivers and my young quarterback,
(27:22):
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We talked to Puka about it yesterday. He's seen bummed
on a flip side on your buddy leaves the team.
That's got to be tough too, and we heard you
reached out to him because you guys are like family.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
When you went together. It's a deeper bond.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, And uh, you know obviously it's raw
emotion when something like that happens, right, and so you're upset.
I mean, no matter what, that's not what you want
to hear is gonna happen. Cooper is the kind of
guy like he's going to respond to that adversity in
an amazing way. But man, you talk about the impact
he's had on Pooka in every second they spend together
in so many ways it don't even have to do with.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
A football field.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Puoka will be forever changed and in his in his mindset,
his mentality, like his daily appro coach and process to
how he chases greatness because he got to be around
Cooper sold with that entire receiver room and much less
that than the entire locker room. So you know, I
think that's why, I mean, Coop's gonna have a huge impact.
But a guy like Pooka, you've gotten to see what
it looks like, what does that chase look like, what
(28:15):
does the work day in and day out look like?
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Can you now go be that?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I always say that as a player, when you get
in the league, it's like you get drafted, you get
this opportunity to like show who you are and try
to make a name for yourself, and all right, whoa,
this guy's going to move to that next contract. He's
a guy who's gonna make it to a second contract.
But then it becomes all right, you're great. What's your
impact on everybody around you? What's your impact on our offense?
What's your impact on our group? Not just about just you?
(28:40):
And you have to take those little steps all throughout
your career. Pooka's is just getting accelerated a little bit
with Cooper leaving, but he's got to become.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
A leader of that group and he's built to do it.
And you were a leader on the Rams.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
He's one of the guys that even if you're not
a Rams fan, when he won, people are happy for you.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
No, it was like, man, pretty pre epic.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Man, that's your witworth, feel good story. The transition to broadcasting.
People love you there, so you're you're a comfortable guy
and who you are because people like you.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
But when you get up.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
There and address a stadium and a country after the
wild fire, oh man, first of all, how early do
you find out you're doing that? And even a guy
like you do the nerves kick in, like oh what
am I gonna end?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yeah? You know, it was wild.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
We were actually doing Thursday night you are Amazon on Prime.
We had our first NFL playoff games, so we're doing
Steelers Ravens and you know, in in Baltimore. And so I'm,
you know, I'm going to that game and I get
a text on like I think it was Friday or
something like hey, the league's out of like a cool opportunity.
They think like it would be awesome if since the
(29:41):
game's getting moved, you know, for you to maybe address
our fans and blah blah blah blah. And like I'm thinking,
in my mind, this is like, oh okay, like sometime
way before the game starts, like just fans that are there,
I'm gonna get, you know. And then as I'm realizing
like oh no, no, no, this is like right before the
game kicks off. So it's like you kind of got
to get nerves. And I get to get there the
game and I realized that they've got this Beyonce stage
(30:03):
I'm gonna stand on, as I called it, because.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's like this elevated stage.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
And then like it's ESPN and they give me my
head set and they're like, oh, Joe Buck's gonna say
you're down there. And then there's this guy who's gonna
say go, and I'm like, oh my gosh, like this
is live Monday night football, playoff them It's go time.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
So uh, I will say that is.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Probably the most nervous I've been for like something, because
that was you have forty seconds. Yeah, we're gonna say go.
The national anthem is starting in forty seconds, get it out.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Whatever it is.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Yeah, oh yeah, because it's like you got forty seconds,
he's gonna say go, the national anthem starts. You don't
have a clock anywhere, so you're hoping what you just said,
it's forty seconds that it was real, Like I was
a little like afterwards, like all right, that was.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Until where your kids like that?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
That was cool?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Did you like your kids now sort of understand more
of what dad does.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
It was honestly awesome, not just for my family, but
just people really accost across the country, across sports just
in general role that we're watching that game and kind
of felt that emotion and probably had some feeling they
were feeling about everything that had been going on. Anyways,
that reached out just with love and stuff. From that,
it was a really cool like you try to pull
your passion and all out and give it to people
(31:15):
and tell how much you care about them, but then
to also get it back from people.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
It was a really neat moment.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
That's Andrew Whitworth as an analyst, and by the way,
you're doing a great job. I have one last question
because it's probably going to be the topic of discussion.
If Mahomes wins four and six years, is that better
than seven and twenty three years? Is he the go
It's gonna be an ongoing gotta hit the conversation.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
But you know, if it takes up Lebron mj then
it's not bad.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
I do agree with that. I would rather not discuss
any of them. But man, here's what I keep you know,
I keep saying I do think he is Michael Jordan.
I will say that now. Whether people think that Michael
jordan'sould go to basketball or not to go to basketball,
blah blah blah blah. I just think that's who he
is in our game. Would you look at all the
great players that he's blocking from their opportunity When you
(32:02):
look at Josh Allen, you look at Lamar Jackson like yeah,
and you think of Jordan and those eras and all
the people would have had a championship if they just
didn't have to face him more. Barkley and I do
think that, but I I think it's harder to argue
that the winningness because I think that that probably says
that you have to stay with Tom because of all
the you know, all the trophies, but the best, you know,
(32:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I you know.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
It was having this coach the other night, with that
NFL head coach and was like, hey, I don't know,
he might be the best though the three he might
be the best it's ever playing.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
That's wild. He might not be the winningness, but he
is probably the best. Now it's never gonna stop.
Speaker 1 (32:39):

touchdown memory you'll never forget because you have one touchdown?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I do one.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Listen to one for one for one yard, one touchdown,
one route, that's one catch, one yard. That's the way
touchdown on my birthday. Yeah really on my birthday twelve twelve,
twenty ten in Pittsburgh, opening drive of the game. Fun fact,
I actually think that we need to get the NFL
history on this. I need to I need to get
the league to do this. I was the only offensive
(33:59):
touchdown scored in that game. So Steelers had two pick sixes.
I think can beat us in a low scoring game.
But I was the only officer. So I would love
to know how many games an offensive lineman has been
the only offensive touchdown in the game.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
On their birthday. Old record for that. I'm just looking
for a record than Andrew.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Continued success. Yeah, I appreciate you. We got more coven

Speaker 3 (35:03):
All right now again, b John Robinson coming up, Gary
Vee on the way. But Cavino, there's one more layer
to today's story we never got to. Before we get
to more NFL, there was a story where we're meeting
all these people radio, row, Lunches, Dinners, convention Center. There's
(35:25):
one of the clients for Fox Sports Radio that went
up to our buddy Weese, who works.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
In the promotional marketing team.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
He's the guy that's responsible putting together the set all
the great events.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
He's a great dude.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
They went up to him and thought he was Mike Harmon,
and they were like, I love.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Your show, Mike Carmon, one of the hosts here on
Fox Sports Jason Smith with Mike Carmon.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Jason Smith's best friends.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And we were all we're all dying laughing because we're like,
he thinks you're you're Mike Carmon.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
That's not the funny part of the story.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
As we're laughing about all this, we're with our boss
Don Don Martin, the big guy that runs Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
iHeart Yeah. Some older woman infiltrates our circle.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
And she's like, excuse me, yeah, she like she separates
us from Yes she did.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
I'm so sorry, pardoned me. Could I get a picture
and our boss.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Don's like, oh with Coveno and Rich and she's like, no, no, no,
I don't I don't know him with you.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
And he's like with me, He's like, I don't know.
He's like, who do you think I am?
Speaker 8 (36:25):
Now?
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Keep in mind we're all surrounding him because he's a
super charismatic guy and he's our boss. And he's a
tall guy. I'm super tall, and you know, he looks important.
And he goes, who do you think I am?
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Wait, you're not Dan Marino?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
She thought he was Dan Marino. You know again, it's
super Bowl week. He's got that look about him.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
He does, and so no, he has quarterback face, like
to you, has ednyone ever mistaken you for a celebrity?
And my super Bowl tip is I always say this,
if you're over six two and you're a black man,
go to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
You could tell any women you play for the NFL
and they will believe you and you can get some
random booty. There you go. Yeah, learned the benefits.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
But hey, if you want to join down on that conversation.
Eight seven, seven, nine, nine nine Fox Plus B Jon
