A lot of places. So well, stay safe, be safe,
fern fern. Fern is like something that grows in the summer,
in the spring. It's like a nice green plant. And
then how do you name a winter storm after a
green plant?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It's a name. Was that the job you were going
for before you were radio producer? Sam storm Namer? Yes? Yeah?
Or to be named after a storm?

Whatever we don't get to it will be on over
Promised right after our show, our bonus pod every Thursday.
It's things we over promise and never have time for
with Cavino and Rich right here on the YouTube page.
So many thoughts going through my head because we are
going to get the football. I do want to talk
about Tom Brady for a second too. I feel like
(02:28):
post retirement tom Brady, there's an a Rod vibe where.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You're just kissing ass. Isn't a kissing ass?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Because he wants to get Tom Brady on the show
when we're there in Santa Clara for Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I do. It's my goal.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I mean, it's a great goal, so you might as
well get the ass kissing going. Kissing ass, I just
think might get back to him.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I just think.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Post retirement Tommy honestly is insightful, is endearing, is lovable.
I think Tom Brady how a Rod went from a
Putts to like the most knowledgeable guy in baseball. I
think Tom Brady went from people thought a little bit
of a douchey vibe to like, this guy's the coolest
dude there ever was I've always loved Tom Brady. For
(03:13):
the record, is it post football Tommy or is it
post divorce Tommy.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I guess we'll never know. Maybe we'll talk to him
at the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
But sometimes, honestly, being in a bad situation could bring
you down. He did tell Colin recently that that last
season the divorce affected him more than he let on.
I bet, I mean, and I say that respectfully. I've
been through that, and sometimes that weight lifted off your shoulders,
that relief, you know, brings out a better side, a
(03:42):
different side of you. People say bitter, I say better.
Sometimes it's just, hey, I'm back to my old self again.
So maybe it's a little bit of both. Not bitter,
better sounds like something a therapist told you. No, I
made it up myself. I invented it. You invented it. Yeah,
so well, baby talk old Tommy. Well, definitely talk about
an NFL. But I mean, I'm a Mets fan, so
(04:02):
how could I not be like YO excited about Freddy Peralta.
But I'm not going to make this conversation about me
and the Mets and Freddie Peralta, because I get it
a lot of people like I don't want to hear
about your stupid Mets. But what I want to talk
about is a bigger picture thing, not just in baseball, football, basketball, anything. Well,
it is a big deal. Don't downplay it just because
you think people are gonna be like, shut up Rich,
(04:24):
even though we're thinking it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
He's a seventeen game winner.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean, the Mets got a frontline starter which is
coming off a big season with the Brewers, and you
basically gave up nothing for him. We said it yesterday,
We said, when teams other than the Dodgers are making moves,
it's good for baseball because you just want to see,
even if it's not every team, you want to see
a handful of teams give the Dodgers some type of trouble. Right,
And apparently he's a big personality, the type of guy
(04:51):
the Mets are going to love in the clubhouse and
the fans are going to gravitate towards. So, you know,
seems to be a perfect fit. And he hasn't even
gotten on the mountain yet.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
We also said, take care of the players you have,
don't let them go easily. What did the Brewers get?
What are the Brewers doing? They were in a good
spot last season.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm glad you said that because I have a theory
that goes beyond the Mets and the Brewers, and there
is a sense of like, why are you doing that?
Brewers like really? So the Brewers get a couple highly
touted prospects from the Mets. And this is a segment
I like to call who gives a rats ass about prospects? Good?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
One little wordy, but I like.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It, don't give a rat because in baseball, football, basketball,
it's equivalent of like late round draft picks. I get it.
It's nice to have that equity. It's nice to have
those picks. It's nice to have those prospects. But we,
more so than ever, name the sport. It's like Amazon Prime.
(05:54):
Now you order something, you want it that day or
the next morning. We don't have the patience like, oh,
me and I ordered a new jacket or some sneakers.
They come in next Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You have no thanks.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I'm gonna try to find a pair that gets on
my doorstep tomorrow. We are impatient. You go to a restaurant,
yeah it was an hour. Wait, You're like, I'm gonna
go somewhere else. No one has patients, especially my dad
sports could need a haircut so bad. And then he
finally goes and there's people there in front of him
(06:24):
and he comes back home.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Like what happened? He's like, Yeah, I ain't waiting around
it with two guys. You wait.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You couldn't wait two haircut and wait. And the older
you get, the less patient you are. Ya ain't waiting around.
There's two guys in front of you.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I ain't waiting.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So my dad would rather look like Mark Twain. He does,
seeks like Albert Einstein or something. Dad's got an Italian
older Albert Einstein. Like Dad, he didn't get a haircut.
Ain't guy waiting around for that? Maybe your dad's looking
to do a presidential portrait? Seriously, got somebody? You're right,
Ben Franklin, as Jerry Seinfeld often says. You know, you
(07:00):
get in a waiting room and you get impatient, and
you know it's the reason they have that room. Well,
we got this room. You know it's there for you
to wait, dude. Jerry Seinfeld talks about it. But how
annoying is that when you go to an appointment, you
go from room. Sometimes you're in three different rooms before
someone sees you and You're like.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I got an appointment, and they're like, yeah, but we
got this room.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Have you realized, guys, d me, Danny G I know
you guys got the appointment if you're just waiting around.
Have you noticed that more and more amusement parks have
really figured out the waiting game where they try to
make the line entertaining and I'm like, I'm on to you,
I'm onto you, Pet's Ride, I'm onto you. You know,
Simpson's Ride, or you go to Disney the Star Wars
(07:42):
when they make the hour wait like, oh, look around you.
It's like it's fun, right. They're constantly trying to make
waiting fun.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah, trying to bide your time absolutely and comfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They put ac now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And if you've been on the Minion's ride, there's like
three rooms you go in with as a screen where
like Grew is talking to before you go on the
actual ride, and I'm like, I'm on to you.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I just went to Universal Studios for the first time.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I got stuck in like the final hallway of the
Mummy ride for like an extra hour, and at some
point you're like, okay, I've looked at all the little
buttons and lights and gizzbos and I'm bored. Now please
move this along. Look where they made it better. We're
in line for the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. Oh
look at all, Look at all the They really do
make it look nice, just like a little movie kind
of thing playing like a little like Jurassic Park had
(08:31):
like a little thing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Going but the worst that you think you're getting closer,
and then you entered just another room of another four yeow.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Chris, four more rooms.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
They paid Chris Pratt to do some voiceover like, hey,
welcome to the Run the Safe.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It was like, we need to shoot this like forty
five minute long like thing of him just talking.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And they just did that on an off day. Do
you remember remember they say nobody likes to win. Brendan
Fraser they have him doing all that voice over stuff
for the Mummy ride. Anyway, I digress. We went off,
but not really. No one likes waiting my point.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So why do you think people want to wait for prospects.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I have met fan friends that are like, man, I'm
excited about Peralta, but we gave up Jet Williams and Sprout.
I'm like Sprout was owing to last year with an
era around five. He's a young, talented guy. But I mean,
do you want to wait for this guy to work out?
I want to know the numbers of how many times
players to be named later or prospects ever really pans out.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It can't be that often.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And you know what, your team knows who they are like.
And the other one was Jet Williams, who's like it's
like five to eight, crafty, little like center fielder. I'm like,
the Bets don't need that. And I'm sure he's good
and I wish him the best at all, but he's
not the Freddie Peralta you need right now. I think
every franchise in all sports they know like the one
(09:51):
or two guys that got away over the years, right
because your your franchise agonizes over it, like oh my god,
you know we uh the Mets, Ray Nolan Ryan in
the in the sixties or the seventies. You know those
guys even right now the Mets they let Pca Crow
Armstrong getaway. But you got like a mediocre second half.
(10:13):
He's a really good player, but like, hey, you got
to win now. And to me, when people say, yeah,
but you need the pieces that you need too, though,
like you said, you need starting pitching, and that's.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
What you got to me.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Give me a starting pitcher that is a frontline guy,
like a like a Freddie Peralta, and I'll give you
ten farm system guys because who cares you? You have
Luis Robert, you have Sodo, Lindor Polanco. If you're a
Mets fan, you have all these guys, Like so who cares.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
About a guy away rich?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You're You're always quick to remind your friends and everybody
on Fox Sports Radio, like, to get what you need
or to get somebody of quality, you have to give
up something. Traits don't work just one way in that sin.
You can't ask for an MVP caliber player or an
All Star or seven team win pitcher and expect to
give up nothing. I hear. I heard a Knicks fan
(11:04):
the other day, what a my buddies on the East Coast.
He's like, man, would be really cool if they got Giannis.
What if we gave him? And he just started naming
like Knicks bench players. I'm like, that's not holl trades.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It works, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I mean that sounds great and all, but that's not
how it goes. So if you want a quality player,
you have to probably give up some potential or another
quality player. You can't get schoobl from the Tigers for
a bag of potato chips and a utility infielder.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I think baseball is unique because of the prospects. We
rarely see player for player in the NFL, so it's
player for draft pick, and in the NBA, same sort
of deal. But what is interesting to what you're saying
is I think that people thought that the normal argument
was going to be Rich get richer. Look, Brewers trading
(11:49):
their ace because of whatever. There are some in Milwaukee
who are very frustrated with this move because of how
good last season went, because of what they're I mean,
they didn't hit at all in the NLCS against the Dodgers.
But this is also the reason why the Brewers have
perennially been in the postseason year after year after year,
following this sort of sort of route. But I think
(12:12):
ultimately to your point, Rich, in baseball, the name player
is always going to win.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's immediately always going to win.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Now, Jet Williams, you know, it could be a ten
time Gold Glover, you know, by twenty thirty seven and
then we'll look back at it. But right now it
feels like you're getting something for nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, but right now you have Sodo Lindor and all
these guys that are getting older every year.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Go get Freddy Prosch if you can.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Arrangers got mackenzie Gore today for five minor leaguers from
the Nationals.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, five guys that maybe one works out, but we'll
figure that out. Like you said, in years from now. Yeah,
I never care about it. It's like a stock that
blew up. It's like, well, at the time I didn't know,
so why do you cry about it?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Should bitcoin?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's like yah, man I had it, but yeah, but
at the time he didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So what difference does that make?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, in retrospect, all you could do is shrug about it, like, well,
oh well, so if Sprout or William it becomes a thing. Hey,
what are you gonna do? You needed Proulta in the moment?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Are you guys changing your minds a little bit? Then?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
On having to feel like you at least have some
home grown talent on your roster, because when the Dodgers
got Blake Snell, I remember you both giving the Dodgers
a hard time because they don't have a lot of
homegrown talent in their starting rotation or lineup right.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Gives your team a little more like it's a street cred.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
If you're like, well, you know, half these guys are
from the pharma system, but that's not the game you
gotta play to beat the Dodgers or Yankees or Blue Jays.
If I'm a Mets fan, like you gotta go get
a guy and let's turtut to the football because that's
where most people's minds are right now. I do like it,
though not a Mets fan. I like it because it
makes it more competitive. The Mets are more legitimate. They're
(13:48):
going to compete against the Dodgers. I think it's a
great move. And the fact that they gave up two
prospects who cares at the moment. Got a question for you.
Are the Mets better today than they were yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
No doubt, no diggity.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
They have a bona fide ace in the in the rotation,
and I think you got like eight starting pitchers.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Mets have like yeah that none of them are like elite,
but the Mets have like the have death.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Now I don't mean, I don't mean the hijacket because
I know you guys want to move along, but Cavino,
and I'm a Camino guy. But you just said, like,
I think it's great that the Dodgers have some competition,
but they just got the picture from the team that
was the best in baseball that again faced them in
the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So you're taking away from the Yeah, So like, so.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
What's the difference to you as a Yankees fan different
from rich or different from me? But what's the difference
for you a Yankees fan whether the competition would come
from Milwaukee or New York.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And it's a legitimate question. It's a legitimate question. And
the Brewers had a squad last year. But I just
never really bought into the Brewers and we saw that
in the playoffs all year. No, I never did, you know,
and I really do buy into the Mets. I think
the Mets have a lot of star power, a lot
of potential. They made a lot of big moves, they
got a lot of big players, and they just had
terrible chemistry lest year. And we're learning more and more
than last year. There were so many in turn problems
(15:00):
where all these guys didn't like each other, and that's
why you saw the Mets shipped out like half. Sure,
I get your point, and honestly, for me, it's as
simple as I just believe more in the Mets to
compete than I do the Browers.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I would also then, and it sounds like that it's
because it's the Mets, because they're from New York, because
they're of who they are, and I think that that's
part of the part of the rub with all of this.
So the Nationals make the move today to trade Mackenzie Gore, Well,
the Nationals aren't in it.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Here.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You have the National League of Major League Baseball's best
team trading their best pitcher in a season where a
lot of teams like the Mets, if the Mets were
in Milwaukee spot, they just run it back the Peralta
would pitch this year if they were out of it,
they trade them by July thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
First, if I run to say that they have like the.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Best record baseball, Yeah, right, you have the best record,
and you owed Peralta, I believe what eight million dollars?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Eight million?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, I don't know why your team does that, Dan,
I honestly, it's that's that is we sprout Jet Williams's
are good prospect. I love the point you're making because
now you had like two teams that were competing, and
now you're saying, but now there's only one.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah yeah, so like so that like lessens it and
what matters if it's trying to go up against Danny's Dodgers,
whether it's the Mets, whether it's the Pirates, whether it's
the Brewers, whether it's the Marlins or Padres or whoever.
It's just interesting that the competition has gone that way.
And again, this isn't the big market small market thing,
(16:24):
but it's just the thought process. People in Milwaukee are like, yeah,
we'd kind of like to run it back next year
if we get a compensatory pick for Freddy Peralta.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Awesome.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
They just jet Williams have got three shortstops, two other
short stops ahead of him in their prospect rankings.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's it's I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
If I'm the Brewers, if I'm a fan, I am
bummed about this because you win ninety six games or
ninety something games, you.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Think, like ninety seven, win.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Ninety seven, you run it back and to just so
willy nilly get rid of Peralta. I don't know, it
doesn't feel right. It's great things about him. So yeah,
it doesn't make me. I do agree with you. I
think I'm just thinking from an East Coast perspective of
I'm buying into the Mets more than I buy into
the Brewers. That's really it, because you're right, you lessened
(17:12):
two competing teams. Now you got really one competing team.
I think the Mets are really in it against the Domes.
Mike just hit us a few other teams. Mike just
hit us up in Kentucky, and he's like, when I
hear a trade and they're like players to be named
later or like like a late round pick or something,
he feels like that is the equivalent of a dumb
and dumber I owe you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, you're as good as this is as good as money.
It's an I owe you. Where's all the money that's
as good as money?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Those are I OUs to me.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Jet Williams is an iou. I will say this in football,
would you agree? At what point do you feel like,
what round? Does the pick not entice shu? Because in
football it's different. If you're saying, man, you get this
team's first rounder for the next couple of years, second
rounds even enticing do you feel like once you start
(18:02):
getting third, fourth round, when does the pick no longer
like tackle your your fancy five five round? Yeah, yeah,
fourth round you can still gets a value at like
a line position or something. I agree, man, yeah, Rich,
I think yeah, the Mets win, the Brewers lose unfortunately
here unless of course they know something about Jet Williams
(18:22):
and sprout that that we don't know. And the Mets
got him for an eight million bargain. Like you said, by.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The way, a player, a standout player who was a
player to be named later, Trey Turner, San Diego to Nationals.
So it's rare, but sometimes it came work out.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's a gamble. It's always a gamble. So that's the
side story, but a big story. And I think he's
gonna be a great fit a Dominican guy too in
New York.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Congrats Rich.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
They're saying he's the type of guy that has teammates
over his house. M He's like a clubhouse type of guy.
So hey, that's a little baseball news. Now we turn
again to football because we're getting ready for a nice
action packed weekend. And I said to Caveno earlier, I
know they no longer make the Super Bowl logo based
(19:09):
on the city, or the colors or any of that stuff.
But there is a sense that if it's damn Vire
Seahawks and the Patriots, there's that like navy bluish gray,
it's like almost like dreary, and the opposite would be
like a freaking rainbow of like orange and blue and
yellow and rams Broncos is like a Pride parade.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Now, I may have dumped on it. The other one
is like a dreary winter day.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I may have dumped on his Brewers for making that move,
But I'm not gonna dump on a Seahawks because I
think they're going all the way for sure, trying to
releast no, no, no, to recover. I'm not saying they're
gonna win at all, but I definitely think they're Super
Bowl bound.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I feel the NFL bent over backwards to include every
color in this logo to try to keep this thing going.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Halftime is going to be colorful enough. Well, I was
gonna say, do you think.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I think bad Money is gonna make up for all that?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Do you think bad money and halftime and Green Day
sort of opening things? Now, do you think that that
covers most music fans taste where Yeah, where everyone's gonna
come away saying all right, that was cool? Yes I do, Yeah,
it's gonna be fun. Dare I said, I didn't look
this up yet, and maybe they haven't announced it. Who's
doing the national anthem? Is it a big name or not?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I heard?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Last I heard is they reached out to Stevie Wonder
for something. But I haven't heard any official announcement. Anybody
know the answer to that, because I'll.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Tell you what we can look at it while I
give you a breaking news if Sam would hit my.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Music news breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Multiple reports are saying the Baltimore Ravens are hiring Chargers
defensive coordinator Jesse Minterer to be their new head coach.
Pinter was scheduled to meet with the Browns backed out
of that interview as he is going to be the
new head coach in Baltimore. I think this is one
a lot of people predicted. But Jesse Minter leaving the
Chargers and getting a five year contract, according to reports,
to be the new head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Nice do you think? I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I don't know, you don't know, but speculation, But you
assume that Lamar and some of the key players do
key players have a not a say? But do you
think that is run by them? Like you know, sometimes
at work, decisions made and you think you're in the loop,
but you're not. Do you think franchise guys, especially quarterbacks now,
are somewhat in the loop. Certain quarterbacks absolutely, franchise quarterbacks,
(21:27):
big names like Lamar Jackson. I think Josh Allen, like
he mentioned, I think if the formula in the NFL
is quarterback and coach, quarterback has to have a little
say or an acknowledgment or a thumbs up before they
move forward.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, hey, do you think you could work with this guy?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
To It can't be like I hate that guy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah yeah, Well, especially somebody they've had maybe some success
with in the past when they were an assistant coach
on the team. Like Mintor has ties, deep ties to
the Ravens. So this is them welcome, welcoming him back
to the flock.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Any coaching carousel stuff that caught you guys by surprise
at all? Did didn't Mike McDaniel to the Chargers catch
you off guard? Remember we talked about we thought he
might stay in Florida and there was that Tampa rumbles
and rumblings.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah, it wasn't surprising. No, Miami LA two of America's
biggest best cities, and he seems like he's going to
fit in there great with Harbaugh, and of course he's
got a quarterback who needs to reach the next plateau
in his career.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's funny as a Niners fan, Harbaugh and McDaniel represent
like two different chapters, so to see them together and
their personalities, I feel like that's a you know, we
talked about hard knocks. They can't do it because they've
made the playoffs right at their criteria. But you don't
think the relationship between Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel is sort
of funny.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I think it's would be cool to see.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Absolutely, Charlie Pooth sings the national anthem, Charlie poof.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Have you ever seen him doing clips on Instagram? And
I've seen he's been on the Howard Stern Show where
I've interviewed him too. But I don't know why I'm
giving other people props, but Charlie Pooth is one of
those nobody gives you props.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Charlie Pooth is one of those guys that is pitch
perfect where you could say a note, he could sing it.
He can make things on the fly. Charlie Pooth is
a musical genius. And I don't say that lightly. He
really is. Like if you don't know his music because
you're I don't like pop music, look up just Charlie
Pooth and his musicality.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
You can't not be impressed.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
There's the reason that these guys are famous. I've seen
the clips you speak of. Yeah, he's pretty well, pretty
talented is an understatement.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Pro pitch right, Yeah, perfect pitch.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I've seen him take this cut like there was like
some up and coming country guy. Charlie Pooth took a
little ten second sample this guy that he posted on TikTok.
Charlie Pooth's like, I'm gonna remix it and made this
guy like a whole song with instrumental everything so.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He can dose sketch comedy too with Jimmy Fallon. That
did like a funny gen Z sketch together.
Speaker 2 (23:57):

One day Yo.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Covino's, Like you want half of this monster energy drink.
I feel like I'm drinking like jet fuel or something like.
I'm a coffee guy. How do you drink this stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well? You know what I figure. I feel like ass,
I feel like trieks.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I feel like straight buns today to be honest, because
my allergies are that bad. So I figure if I
hype up Rich even more, you know, maybe he'll fill
in the blanks.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'm honestly like you're hiding in your cubicle.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, I used to before a workout occasionally I had
to have one of those, like those Celsiest drinks or
something like that, but like a big can of monster.
I can't imagine that's like good for you, I would agree,
I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Well, I used to.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Drink those during the overnights here a weekend, over nights
and whenever I need one.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Or is that why there was a hole the wall.
You got all hyped up, your bag, your head against
a hottle.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yeah, and then I'd go home and I'd have like
breakfast or a meal, and then I'd fall asleep and
I'd have like night terrors after drinking Boks all night.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's like, it's just all these things so smart.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Your nine starts, Yeah, starts not good. It's not good

Coveno and Rich FSR at Covino and Rich FSR.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So yeah, Rich, you win, the.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Mets get Freddy praulta Dan Byer's Brewers and Brewers fans
have to be like, huh, well now what And to
be honest, I just wasn't looking at it that way.
I was looking at it as more of a win
for you and less of a loss for the Brewers.
Good about it. And to wrap it up, no more
Mets talk. Though they are my team and I love them.
(29:06):
Last year, what a disappointment if they because they've missed
the postseason. It was like, really embarrassing. It would be
even doubly embarrassing if they couldn't find a way to
make the postseason this year. I just think you need
that star power to compete with the Dodgers. I don't
think the Brewers had the same amount of star power.
You add this guy to an already star studded lineup,
now you got a chance. Yankees got a chance. I
(29:28):
still think the Brewers and the Phillies and Red Sox
and the Blue Jays, teams like that have a chance.
But two great comments on the intro and we'll move
on to NFL. Michael m said, you guys talking about
how you get jittery from like a monster? How many
in the studio think about it? In the two thousands,
how many Red Bull Vodkas have you had it like
a club.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Back in the day? Too many to count. I mean, Danny,
remember that was like that. I don't know about you
guys on the East Coast.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Jaga bombs and then the Rockstar and like it was
Rockstar and some liquor.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But there was a if you if you go out
with Cavino, now I'd imagine Cavino ninety percent time, you're
like Tito's and soda, like a simple vodka soda.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But in the only two thousands.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I feel like for there was a good five year
period where Red Bull Voca it was like hyped up
for the night, and then you're by the time the
caffeine all the stuff wears off, You're like, I'm wasted.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
All right, So red Bull Vodka, I think everyone had
that and the other comment. I want to address this
because it's really serious. Oh, Steven Lopez wants to know
Cavino as I take a better look. Do you wear
a hair piece? A hair piece? I mean, is it
that impressive if anyone wears a hair pieces?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Rich? Fuck? Can you give a one shot of Cavino
on the YouTube? Does this look like a hair piece? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Where's the piece? You had a piece? You think I
would diet this weird orange color?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Look at that? Thanks. I'll take it as a pomplament
to get it sweet, pomp it good one man. All right,
we're gonna get to more NFL but let's go to work.
Good pell in yours, Dan Byer, what's up, dB.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Guys, breaking news in the NFL. He told you a
little bit earlier. But Jesse Minters, the new head coach
of the Baltimore Ravens. Ravens making it official is getting
a five year deal. He spent the last two years
as the defensive coordinator of the Chargers under Jim Harbaugh,
followed him from the University of Michigan. Now he replaces
John Harbaugh. In Baltimore, Titans officially named Robert Sala as
(31:25):
their head coach. Today, Bills are doing interviews. They spoke
with Giants head coach Brian Dable. Also spoke with Colts
defensive coordinator Lou and Arumo today about their head coaching vacancy.
Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Yedinsky's going to meet with the
Bills on Sunday. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, Bills quarterback Josh Allen,
Patriots quarterback Drake May, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and forty
(31:47):
nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey are five finalists for
the NFL's MVP Award, given out by the Associated Press
ESPN is saying the agent for Anthony Davis that would
be Rich Paul has told the Mavericks he wants his
client to be traded by next week. NBA trade deadline
is two weeks from today. Josh Giddy is probable for
the Bulls tonight to face the Timberwolves. He's missed the
(32:08):
last eleven games because of a hamstring injury. Big trade
in baseball, the Rangers acquired pittcher McKenzie Gore from the
Nationals for five prospects. Gore is under team control for
the next two seasons and the first round of the
American Express. On the PGA Tour, three way time for
the lead at ten under that includes min Wu, Lee
and Pierson, Cody Scotti, Scheffler one shot back after a
(32:30):
round of sixty three today he is at nine under par. Guys,
back to you.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Dan Byer, just a thought I had as I
saw Jesse Minter as you said, name the new head coach.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Forty two years old. He looks twelve. He looks very young.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
And I know it's not always about mixing it up,
but when you do go from a Harbaugh that's a
very fatherly figure, you know, closely in between us and
the boomer generation, and you go to a baby face
forty year old guy, it is weird.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
As we get older, when you're in your you know, we're.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
In our forties, you start to see all these coaches
and in my mind of coaches like an old, knowledgeable guy.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
And there's a lot of coaches. McVeigh just turned forty, right, No,
I think he's about to.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, so you know Demiko Ryan Ryan's there's there's a
lot of like fortiesh year old coaches.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Grant Udinski of the Jaguars is thirty three zero, not
in his thirties, he's thirty. He's going to be interview
he's been been interviewing around his speaking with the Browns.
He's going to speak with the Bills. Yeah, there's yeah
around this, around this, that age group, but it always
goes all the way back down to about a thirty
year old, but early forties, late thirties, you're getting a
(33:40):
lot more of that man's Well.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
That's why to bring up baseball one more time.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
That's why if you watch that Red Sox documentary about
the two thousand and four Red Sox and the whole
feud with the Yankees, and it really is a remarkable documentary.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The fact that.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Theo Epstein was in his twenties that they and he
did it with the Socks, the fact that they had
the balls at that time to be.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Like, yeah, you know what, we're gonna give the keys.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
To a twenty something year old and by the way,
get rid of Nomar looking back like that took so
much guts, insane, right, like a lot, because you're picturing
like a coach to me, or you might look like
oh Andy Reid or Pete Carroll or uh well, because
we also grew up in the eighties and coaches Bill Walsh,
(34:27):
Bill one hundred years old, Wade Phillips, like you know,
I picture like a coach, would be like an old guy.
So it's it's wild that, you know, you see the
Lafloors and well, Kyle Shanahan doesn't look any more young anymore.
You're picturing like Earl Weaver and Sparky Lyle and guys
like that, Sparky Anderson, Sparky Anderson.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I mean, Dan Buyer.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Have you seen the before and after picture of when
Kyle Shanahan was was announced as the Niners head coach
and what happened less than a decade later.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Yeah, I would see that side by side, like God,
the rough, tough living.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, I think it's the electrical plant. It's probably that's
what it is. I bet that store. Yeah, that's probably
what it is. But they always say that the toughest
aging jobs in the world are the president of the
United States and a professional coach.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And being Coveno's co host, I thought, can we talk
about look at the skin the hairpiece. Come on, alright,
we got more Cavino and Rich We're gonna go old school.
Speaker 1 (35:23):

So before we get into it, let me ask you
a question. Where were you? You gotta do it like
a Fantura home on can.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I asked you a few questions with my bun cheet.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah, I want to take you back to two thousand
and three.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
What were you doing? Where were you? What was going
on in your life? Oh three?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It was right before Rich and I started our show.
We actually started in O four. So I'm working in
old timey times terrestrial radio in New York.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I'm at kay Rock, New York. I'm still driving the
van a little bit.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I'm doing weekends on the air, just on my hustle,
loving rock music, buying CDs. I'm living with my parents still,
that's the truth. I bought my home, my first home
in two thousand and seven, oh three, if I I know,
four oh three? Yeah, what's the year the Marlins beat
the Keys in the World Series. Yeah, not a good
(40:04):
year for the X No, well you crying or do
you all? That's back up bad memories? But you know
what else happened in oh three? A show debuted And
we've been loving this guy. We'll be loved before that,
but he's been all the range. He disappeared for a minute,
came back. I'm talking about Dave Chappelle. Chappelle show him. Yeah,
(40:26):
I love me some Dave Chappelle. I think everybody does.
We've seen his career evolve, I get evolved to he's
like more of an orator now.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Philosopher a comedian inspired by bugs Bunny. That's where inspired
by ask him He'll tell you I love him in
The Nutty Professor. I thought that was one of his
best roles.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
I love him in the Half Baked, Half Baked Yes
Men and Tits, Robin hood Menonites.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah, we've seen his career blossom and his show was
one of the best sketch comedy shows maybe in our lifetime.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
You know why we.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Didn't get a chance to see it suck either, Right,
he dipped out, He turned his back on what fifty
million dollars he did his thing, But we loved that show.
Based on the anniversary, we have a question. By the way,
it's a story of believing in yourself because when he
dipped away from that fifty million in remember he jokes
about how everyone just thinks I went to Africa and
dipped away.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
He said he went there for like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Yeah, so he comes back and everyone's like, man, he
turned down all that money. Who's got the last laugh?
Now his Netflix steals everything he does. Now he just
does a special when he wants and whoever wants to,
We'll just pay him a ton of money. So he's
an amazing comedian, amazing storyteller. But based on the anniversary
of Chappelle's show, what are some of your favorite memories
(41:45):
and sketch comedy?
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Yeah? What a favorite bit? What is the bit that
comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
We're talking in living color, we're talking Saturday Night Live,
We're talking Chappelle's Show, We're talking Key and Peel. But who,
by the way, does Hee Keeth? And Michael Key said
he's open to new Key and Peel. So your favorite
sketch of all time? Do you have one? We'll get
to that in accident, of course, more NFL as we
get ready for championship weekends.

Covino and Rich FSR and lots to get to today
in the world the baseball, some big moves for Rich's mets,
(02:02):
of course football, and maybe even some show and tell.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'll tell you all about it. But I'll tell you
this right now.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Whatever we don't get to it will be on over
Promised right after our show, our bonus pod every Thursday.
It's things we over promise and never have time for
with Cavino and Rich right here on the YouTube page.
So many thoughts going through my head because we are
going to get the football. I do want to talk
about Tom Brady for a second too. I feel like
(02:28):
post retirement tom Brady, there's an a Rod vibe where.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You're just kissing ass. Isn't a kissing ass?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Because he wants to get Tom Brady on the show
when we're there in Santa Clara for Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I do. It's my goal.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I mean, it's a great goal, so you might as
well get the ass kissing going. Kissing ass, I just
think might get back to him.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I just think.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Post retirement Tommy honestly is insightful, is endearing, is lovable.
I think Tom Brady how a Rod went from a
Putts to like the most knowledgeable guy in baseball. I
think Tom Brady went from people thought a little bit
of a douchey vibe to like, this guy's the coolest
dude there ever was I've always loved Tom Brady. For
(03:13):
the record, is it post football Tommy or is it
post divorce Tommy.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I guess we'll never know. Maybe we'll talk to him
at the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
But sometimes, honestly, being in a bad situation could bring
you down. He did tell Colin recently that that last
season the divorce affected him more than he let on.
I bet, I mean, and I say that respectfully. I've
been through that, and sometimes that weight lifted off your shoulders,
that relief, you know, brings out a better side, a
(03:42):
different side of you. People say bitter, I say better.
Sometimes it's just, hey, I'm back to my old self again.
So maybe it's a little bit of both. Not bitter,
better sounds like something a therapist told you. No, I
made it up myself. I invented it. You invented it. Yeah,
so well, baby talk old Tommy. Well, definitely talk about
an NFL. But I mean, I'm a Mets fan, so
(04:02):
how could I not be like YO excited about Freddy Peralta.
But I'm not going to make this conversation about me
and the Mets and Freddie Peralta, because I get it
a lot of people like I don't want to hear
about your stupid Mets. But what I want to talk
about is a bigger picture thing, not just in baseball, football, basketball, anything. Well,
it is a big deal. Don't downplay it just because
you think people are gonna be like, shut up Rich,
(04:24):
even though we're thinking it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
He's a seventeen game winner.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean, the Mets got a frontline starter which is
coming off a big season with the Brewers, and you
basically gave up nothing for him. We said it yesterday,
We said, when teams other than the Dodgers are making moves,
it's good for baseball because you just want to see,
even if it's not every team, you want to see
a handful of teams give the Dodgers some type of trouble. Right,
And apparently he's a big personality, the type of guy
(04:51):
the Mets are going to love in the clubhouse and
the fans are going to gravitate towards. So, you know,
seems to be a perfect fit. And he hasn't even
gotten on the mountain yet.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
We also said, take care of the players you have,
don't let them go easily. What did the Brewers get?
What are the Brewers doing? They were in a good
spot last season.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm glad you said that because I have a theory
that goes beyond the Mets and the Brewers, and there
is a sense of like, why are you doing that?
Brewers like really? So the Brewers get a couple highly
touted prospects from the Mets. And this is a segment
I like to call who gives a rats ass about prospects? Good?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
One little wordy, but I like.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It, don't give a rat because in baseball, football, basketball,
it's equivalent of like late round draft picks. I get it.
It's nice to have that equity. It's nice to have
those picks. It's nice to have those prospects. But we,
more so than ever, name the sport. It's like Amazon Prime.
(05:54):
Now you order something, you want it that day or
the next morning. We don't have the patience like, oh,
me and I ordered a new jacket or some sneakers.
They come in next Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You have no thanks.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I'm gonna try to find a pair that gets on
my doorstep tomorrow. We are impatient. You go to a restaurant,
yeah it was an hour. Wait, You're like, I'm gonna
go somewhere else. No one has patients, especially my dad
sports could need a haircut so bad. And then he
finally goes and there's people there in front of him
(06:24):
and he comes back home.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Like what happened? He's like, Yeah, I ain't waiting around
it with two guys. You wait.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You couldn't wait two haircut and wait. And the older
you get, the less patient you are. Ya ain't waiting around.
There's two guys in front of you.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I ain't waiting.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So my dad would rather look like Mark Twain. He does,
seeks like Albert Einstein or something. Dad's got an Italian
older Albert Einstein. Like Dad, he didn't get a haircut.
Ain't guy waiting around for that? Maybe your dad's looking
to do a presidential portrait? Seriously, got somebody? You're right,
Ben Franklin, as Jerry Seinfeld often says. You know, you
(07:00):
get in a waiting room and you get impatient, and
you know it's the reason they have that room. Well,
we got this room. You know it's there for you
to wait, dude. Jerry Seinfeld talks about it. But how
annoying is that when you go to an appointment, you
go from room. Sometimes you're in three different rooms before
someone sees you and You're like.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I got an appointment, and they're like, yeah, but we
got this room.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Have you realized, guys, d me, Danny G I know
you guys got the appointment if you're just waiting around.
Have you noticed that more and more amusement parks have
really figured out the waiting game where they try to
make the line entertaining and I'm like, I'm on to you,
I'm onto you, Pet's Ride, I'm onto you. You know,
Simpson's Ride, or you go to Disney the Star Wars
(07:42):
when they make the hour wait like, oh, look around you.
It's like it's fun, right. They're constantly trying to make
waiting fun.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah, trying to bide your time absolutely and comfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They put ac now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And if you've been on the Minion's ride, there's like
three rooms you go in with as a screen where
like Grew is talking to before you go on the
actual ride, and I'm like, I'm on to you.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I just went to Universal Studios for the first time.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I got stuck in like the final hallway of the
Mummy ride for like an extra hour, and at some
point you're like, okay, I've looked at all the little
buttons and lights and gizzbos and I'm bored. Now please
move this along. Look where they made it better. We're
in line for the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. Oh
look at all, Look at all the They really do
make it look nice, just like a little movie kind
of thing playing like a little like Jurassic Park had
(08:31):
like a little thing.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Going but the worst that you think you're getting closer,
and then you entered just another room of another four yeow.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Chris, four more rooms.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
They paid Chris Pratt to do some voiceover like, hey,
welcome to the Run the Safe.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It was like, we need to shoot this like forty
five minute long like thing of him just talking.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And they just did that on an off day. Do
you remember remember they say nobody likes to win. Brendan
Fraser they have him doing all that voice over stuff
for the Mummy ride. Anyway, I digress. We went off,
but not really. No one likes waiting my point.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So why do you think people want to wait for prospects.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I have met fan friends that are like, man, I'm
excited about Peralta, but we gave up Jet Williams and Sprout.
I'm like Sprout was owing to last year with an
era around five. He's a young, talented guy. But I mean,
do you want to wait for this guy to work out?
I want to know the numbers of how many times
players to be named later or prospects ever really pans out.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It can't be that often.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And you know what, your team knows who they are like.
And the other one was Jet Williams, who's like it's
like five to eight, crafty, little like center fielder. I'm like,
the Bets don't need that. And I'm sure he's good
and I wish him the best at all, but he's
not the Freddie Peralta you need right now. I think
every franchise in all sports they know like the one
(09:51):
or two guys that got away over the years, right
because your your franchise agonizes over it, like oh my god,
you know we uh the Mets, Ray Nolan Ryan in
the in the sixties or the seventies. You know those
guys even right now the Mets they let Pca Crow
Armstrong getaway. But you got like a mediocre second half.
(10:13):
He's a really good player, but like, hey, you got
to win now. And to me, when people say, yeah,
but you need the pieces that you need too, though,
like you said, you need starting pitching, and that's.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
What you got to me.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Give me a starting pitcher that is a frontline guy,
like a like a Freddie Peralta, and I'll give you
ten farm system guys because who cares you? You have
Luis Robert, you have Sodo, Lindor Polanco. If you're a
Mets fan, you have all these guys, Like so who cares.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
About a guy away rich?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You're You're always quick to remind your friends and everybody
on Fox Sports Radio, like, to get what you need
or to get somebody of quality, you have to give
up something. Traits don't work just one way in that sin.
You can't ask for an MVP caliber player or an
All Star or seven team win pitcher and expect to
give up nothing. I hear. I heard a Knicks fan
(11:04):
the other day, what a my buddies on the East Coast.
He's like, man, would be really cool if they got Giannis.
What if we gave him? And he just started naming
like Knicks bench players. I'm like, that's not holl trades.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
It works, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I mean that sounds great and all, but that's not
how it goes. So if you want a quality player,
you have to probably give up some potential or another
quality player. You can't get schoobl from the Tigers for
a bag of potato chips and a utility infielder.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I think baseball is unique because of the prospects. We
rarely see player for player in the NFL, so it's
player for draft pick, and in the NBA, same sort
of deal. But what is interesting to what you're saying
is I think that people thought that the normal argument
was going to be Rich get richer. Look, Brewers trading
(11:49):
their ace because of whatever. There are some in Milwaukee
who are very frustrated with this move because of how
good last season went, because of what they're I mean,
they didn't hit at all in the NLCS against the Dodgers.
But this is also the reason why the Brewers have
perennially been in the postseason year after year after year,
following this sort of sort of route. But I think
(12:12):
ultimately to your point, Rich, in baseball, the name player
is always going to win.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's immediately always going to win.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Now, Jet Williams, you know, it could be a ten
time Gold Glover, you know, by twenty thirty seven and
then we'll look back at it. But right now it
feels like you're getting something for nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, but right now you have Sodo Lindor and all
these guys that are getting older every year.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Go get Freddy Prosch if you can.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Arrangers got mackenzie Gore today for five minor leaguers from
the Nationals.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, five guys that maybe one works out, but we'll
figure that out. Like you said, in years from now. Yeah,
I never care about it. It's like a stock that
blew up. It's like, well, at the time I didn't know,
so why do you cry about it?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Should bitcoin?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It's like yah, man I had it, but yeah, but
at the time he didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So what difference does that make?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, in retrospect, all you could do is shrug about it, like, well,
oh well, so if Sprout or William it becomes a thing. Hey,
what are you gonna do? You needed Proulta in the moment?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Are you guys changing your minds a little bit? Then?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
On having to feel like you at least have some
home grown talent on your roster, because when the Dodgers
got Blake Snell, I remember you both giving the Dodgers
a hard time because they don't have a lot of
homegrown talent in their starting rotation or lineup right.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Gives your team a little more like it's a street cred.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
If you're like, well, you know, half these guys are
from the pharma system, but that's not the game you
gotta play to beat the Dodgers or Yankees or Blue Jays.
If I'm a Mets fan, like you gotta go get
a guy and let's turtut to the football because that's
where most people's minds are right now. I do like it,
though not a Mets fan. I like it because it
makes it more competitive. The Mets are more legitimate. They're
(13:48):
going to compete against the Dodgers. I think it's a
great move. And the fact that they gave up two
prospects who cares at the moment. Got a question for you.
Are the Mets better today than they were yesterday?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
No doubt, no diggity.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
They have a bona fide ace in the in the rotation,
and I think you got like eight starting pitchers.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Mets have like yeah that none of them are like elite,
but the Mets have like the have death.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Now I don't mean, I don't mean the hijacket because
I know you guys want to move along, but Cavino,
and I'm a Camino guy. But you just said, like,
I think it's great that the Dodgers have some competition,
but they just got the picture from the team that
was the best in baseball that again faced them in
the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So you're taking away from the Yeah, So like, so.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
What's the difference to you as a Yankees fan different
from rich or different from me? But what's the difference
for you a Yankees fan whether the competition would come
from Milwaukee or New York.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And it's a legitimate question. It's a legitimate question. And
the Brewers had a squad last year. But I just
never really bought into the Brewers and we saw that
in the playoffs all year. No, I never did, you know,
and I really do buy into the Mets. I think
the Mets have a lot of star power, a lot
of potential. They made a lot of big moves, they
got a lot of big players, and they just had
terrible chemistry lest year. And we're learning more and more
than last year. There were so many in turn problems
(15:00):
where all these guys didn't like each other, and that's
why you saw the Mets shipped out like half. Sure,
I get your point, and honestly, for me, it's as
simple as I just believe more in the Mets to
compete than I do the Browers.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I would also then, and it sounds like that it's
because it's the Mets, because they're from New York, because
they're of who they are, and I think that that's
part of the part of the rub with all of this.
So the Nationals make the move today to trade Mackenzie Gore, Well,
the Nationals aren't in it.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Here.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You have the National League of Major League Baseball's best
team trading their best pitcher in a season where a
lot of teams like the Mets, if the Mets were
in Milwaukee spot, they just run it back the Peralta
would pitch this year if they were out of it,
they trade them by July thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
First, if I run to say that they have like the.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Best record baseball, Yeah, right, you have the best record,
and you owed Peralta, I believe what eight million dollars?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Eight million?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, I don't know why your team does that, Dan,
I honestly, it's that's that is we sprout Jet Williams's
are good prospect. I love the point you're making because
now you had like two teams that were competing, and
now you're saying, but now there's only one.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah yeah, so like so that like lessens it and
what matters if it's trying to go up against Danny's Dodgers,
whether it's the Mets, whether it's the Pirates, whether it's
the Brewers, whether it's the Marlins or Padres or whoever.
It's just interesting that the competition has gone that way.
And again, this isn't the big market small market thing,
(16:24):
but it's just the thought process. People in Milwaukee are like, yeah,
we'd kind of like to run it back next year
if we get a compensatory pick for Freddy Peralta.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Awesome.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
They just jet Williams have got three shortstops, two other
short stops ahead of him in their prospect rankings.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's it's I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
If I'm the Brewers, if I'm a fan, I am
bummed about this because you win ninety six games or
ninety something games, you.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Think, like ninety seven, win.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Ninety seven, you run it back and to just so
willy nilly get rid of Peralta. I don't know, it
doesn't feel right. It's great things about him. So yeah,
it doesn't make me. I do agree with you. I
think I'm just thinking from an East Coast perspective of
I'm buying into the Mets more than I buy into
the Brewers. That's really it, because you're right, you lessened
(17:12):
two competing teams. Now you got really one competing team.
I think the Mets are really in it against the Domes.
Mike just hit us a few other teams. Mike just
hit us up in Kentucky, and he's like, when I
hear a trade and they're like players to be named
later or like like a late round pick or something,
he feels like that is the equivalent of a dumb
and dumber I owe you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah, you're as good as this is as good as money.
It's an I owe you. Where's all the money that's
as good as money?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Those are I OUs to me.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Jet Williams is an iou. I will say this in football,
would you agree? At what point do you feel like,
what round? Does the pick not entice shu? Because in
football it's different. If you're saying, man, you get this
team's first rounder for the next couple of years, second
rounds even enticing do you feel like once you start
(18:02):
getting third, fourth round, when does the pick no longer
like tackle your your fancy five five round? Yeah, yeah,
fourth round you can still gets a value at like
a line position or something. I agree, man, yeah, Rich,
I think yeah, the Mets win, the Brewers lose unfortunately
here unless of course they know something about Jet Williams
(18:22):
and sprout that that we don't know. And the Mets
got him for an eight million bargain. Like you said, by.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The way, a player, a standout player who was a
player to be named later, Trey Turner, San Diego to Nationals.
So it's rare, but sometimes it came work out.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's a gamble. It's always a gamble. So that's the
side story, but a big story. And I think he's
gonna be a great fit a Dominican guy too in
New York.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Congrats Rich.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
They're saying he's the type of guy that has teammates
over his house. M He's like a clubhouse type of guy.
So hey, that's a little baseball news. Now we turn
again to football because we're getting ready for a nice
action packed weekend. And I said to Caveno earlier, I
know they no longer make the Super Bowl logo based
(19:09):
on the city, or the colors or any of that stuff.
But there is a sense that if it's damn Vire
Seahawks and the Patriots, there's that like navy bluish gray,
it's like almost like dreary, and the opposite would be
like a freaking rainbow of like orange and blue and
yellow and rams Broncos is like a Pride parade.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Now, I may have dumped on it. The other one
is like a dreary winter day.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I may have dumped on his Brewers for making that move,
But I'm not gonna dump on a Seahawks because I
think they're going all the way for sure, trying to
releast no, no, no, to recover. I'm not saying they're
gonna win at all, but I definitely think they're Super
Bowl bound.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
I feel the NFL bent over backwards to include every
color in this logo to try to keep this thing going.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Halftime is going to be colorful enough. Well, I was
gonna say, do you think.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I think bad Money is gonna make up for all that?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Do you think bad money and halftime and Green Day
sort of opening things? Now, do you think that that
covers most music fans taste where Yeah, where everyone's gonna
come away saying all right, that was cool? Yes I do, Yeah,
it's gonna be fun. Dare I said, I didn't look
this up yet, and maybe they haven't announced it. Who's
doing the national anthem? Is it a big name or not?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I heard?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Last I heard is they reached out to Stevie Wonder
for something. But I haven't heard any official announcement. Anybody
know the answer to that, because I'll.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Tell you what we can look at it while I
give you a breaking news if Sam would hit my.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Music news breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Multiple reports are saying the Baltimore Ravens are hiring Chargers
defensive coordinator Jesse Minterer to be their new head coach.
Pinter was scheduled to meet with the Browns backed out
of that interview as he is going to be the
new head coach in Baltimore. I think this is one
a lot of people predicted. But Jesse Minter leaving the
Chargers and getting a five year contract, according to reports,
to be the new head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Nice do you think? I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I don't know, you don't know, but speculation, But you
assume that Lamar and some of the key players do
key players have a not a say? But do you
think that is run by them? Like you know, sometimes
at work, decisions made and you think you're in the loop,
but you're not. Do you think franchise guys, especially quarterbacks now,
are somewhat in the loop. Certain quarterbacks absolutely, franchise quarterbacks,
(21:27):
big names like Lamar Jackson. I think Josh Allen, like
he mentioned, I think if the formula in the NFL
is quarterback and coach, quarterback has to have a little
say or an acknowledgment or a thumbs up before they
move forward.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, hey, do you think you could work with this guy?
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
To It can't be like I hate that guy.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Yeah yeah, Well, especially somebody they've had maybe some success
with in the past when they were an assistant coach
on the team. Like Mintor has ties, deep ties to
the Ravens. So this is them welcome, welcoming him back
to the flock.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Any coaching carousel stuff that caught you guys by surprise
at all? Did didn't Mike McDaniel to the Chargers catch
you off guard? Remember we talked about we thought he
might stay in Florida and there was that Tampa rumbles
and rumblings.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah, it wasn't surprising. No, Miami LA two of America's
biggest best cities, and he seems like he's going to
fit in there great with Harbaugh, and of course he's
got a quarterback who needs to reach the next plateau
in his career.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's funny as a Niners fan, Harbaugh and McDaniel represent
like two different chapters, so to see them together and
their personalities, I feel like that's a you know, we
talked about hard knocks. They can't do it because they've
made the playoffs right at their criteria. But you don't
think the relationship between Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel is sort
of funny.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I think it's would be cool to see.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Absolutely, Charlie Pooth sings the national anthem, Charlie poof.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Have you ever seen him doing clips on Instagram? And
I've seen he's been on the Howard Stern Show where
I've interviewed him too. But I don't know why I'm
giving other people props, but Charlie Pooth is one of
those nobody gives you props.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Charlie Pooth is one of those guys that is pitch
perfect where you could say a note, he could sing it.
He can make things on the fly. Charlie Pooth is
a musical genius. And I don't say that lightly. He
really is. Like if you don't know his music because
you're I don't like pop music, look up just Charlie
Pooth and his musicality.
Speaker 1 (23:27):

Speaker 1 (27:03):
One day Yo.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Covino's, Like you want half of this monster energy drink.
I feel like I'm drinking like jet fuel or something like.
I'm a coffee guy. How do you drink this stuff?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well? You know what I figure. I feel like ass,
I feel like trieks.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I feel like straight buns today to be honest, because
my allergies are that bad. So I figure if I
hype up Rich even more, you know, maybe he'll fill
in the blanks.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'm honestly like you're hiding in your cubicle.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, I used to before a workout occasionally I had
to have one of those, like those Celsiest drinks or
something like that, but like a big can of monster.
I can't imagine that's like good for you, I would agree,
I can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Well, I used to.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Drink those during the overnights here a weekend, over nights
and whenever I need one.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Or is that why there was a hole the wall.
You got all hyped up, your bag, your head against
a hottle.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yeah, and then I'd go home and I'd have like
breakfast or a meal, and then I'd fall asleep and
I'd have like night terrors after drinking Boks all night.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's like, it's just all these things so smart.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Your nine starts, Yeah, starts not good. It's not good
for you, but it works. So anyway, if you want
to watch what you hear, you want to see Rich
spinning in his chair.

you could hit us up on the YouTube page at
Coveno and Rich FSR at Covino and Rich FSR.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
So yeah, Rich, you win, the.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Mets get Freddy praulta Dan Byer's Brewers and Brewers fans
have to be like, huh, well now what And to
be honest, I just wasn't looking at it that way.
I was looking at it as more of a win
for you and less of a loss for the Brewers.
Good about it. And to wrap it up, no more
Mets talk. Though they are my team and I love them.
(29:06):
Last year, what a disappointment if they because they've missed
the postseason. It was like, really embarrassing. It would be
even doubly embarrassing if they couldn't find a way to
make the postseason this year. I just think you need
that star power to compete with the Dodgers. I don't
think the Brewers had the same amount of star power.
You add this guy to an already star studded lineup,
now you got a chance. Yankees got a chance. I
(29:28):
still think the Brewers and the Phillies and Red Sox
and the Blue Jays, teams like that have a chance.
But two great comments on the intro and we'll move
on to NFL. Michael m said, you guys talking about
how you get jittery from like a monster? How many
in the studio think about it? In the two thousands,
how many Red Bull Vodkas have you had it like
a club.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Back in the day? Too many to count. I mean, Danny,
remember that was like that. I don't know about you
guys on the East Coast.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Jaga bombs and then the Rockstar and like it was
Rockstar and some liquor.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But there was a if you if you go out
with Cavino, now I'd imagine Cavino ninety percent time, you're
like Tito's and soda, like a simple vodka soda.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But in the only two thousands.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I feel like for there was a good five year
period where Red Bull Voca it was like hyped up
for the night, and then you're by the time the
caffeine all the stuff wears off, You're like, I'm wasted.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
All right, So red Bull Vodka, I think everyone had
that and the other comment. I want to address this
because it's really serious. Oh, Steven Lopez wants to know
Cavino as I take a better look. Do you wear
a hair piece? A hair piece? I mean, is it
that impressive if anyone wears a hair pieces?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Rich? Fuck? Can you give a one shot of Cavino
on the YouTube? Does this look like a hair piece? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Where's the piece? You had a piece? You think I
would diet this weird orange color?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Look at that? Thanks. I'll take it as a pomplament
to get it sweet, pomp it good one man. All right,
we're gonna get to more NFL but let's go to work.
Good pell in yours, Dan Byer, what's up, dB.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Guys, breaking news in the NFL. He told you a
little bit earlier. But Jesse Minters, the new head coach
of the Baltimore Ravens. Ravens making it official is getting
a five year deal. He spent the last two years
as the defensive coordinator of the Chargers under Jim Harbaugh,
followed him from the University of Michigan. Now he replaces
John Harbaugh. In Baltimore, Titans officially named Robert Sala as
(31:25):
their head coach. Today, Bills are doing interviews. They spoke
with Giants head coach Brian Dable. Also spoke with Colts
defensive coordinator Lou and Arumo today about their head coaching vacancy.
Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Yedinsky's going to meet with the
Bills on Sunday. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, Bills quarterback Josh Allen,
Patriots quarterback Drake May, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and forty
(31:47):
nine Ers running back Christian McCaffrey are five finalists for
the NFL's MVP Award, given out by the Associated Press
ESPN is saying the agent for Anthony Davis that would
be Rich Paul has told the Mavericks he wants his
client to be traded by next week. NBA trade deadline
is two weeks from today. Josh Giddy is probable for
the Bulls tonight to face the Timberwolves. He's missed the
(32:08):
last eleven games because of a hamstring injury. Big trade
in baseball, the Rangers acquired pittcher McKenzie Gore from the
Nationals for five prospects. Gore is under team control for
the next two seasons and the first round of the
American Express. On the PGA Tour, three way time for
the lead at ten under that includes min Wu, Lee
and Pierson, Cody Scotti, Scheffler one shot back after a
(32:30):
round of sixty three today he is at nine under par. Guys,
back to you.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Dan Byer, just a thought I had as I
saw Jesse Minter as you said, name the new head coach.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Forty two years old. He looks twelve. He looks very young.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
And I know it's not always about mixing it up,
but when you do go from a Harbaugh that's a
very fatherly figure, you know, closely in between us and
the boomer generation, and you go to a baby face
forty year old guy, it is weird.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
As we get older, when you're in your you know, we're.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
In our forties, you start to see all these coaches
and in my mind of coaches like an old, knowledgeable guy.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
And there's a lot of coaches. McVeigh just turned forty, right, No,
I think he's about to.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, so you know Demiko Ryan Ryan's there's there's a
lot of like fortiesh year old coaches.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Grant Udinski of the Jaguars is thirty three zero, not
in his thirties, he's thirty. He's going to be interview
he's been been interviewing around his speaking with the Browns.
He's going to speak with the Bills. Yeah, there's yeah
around this, around this, that age group, but it always
goes all the way back down to about a thirty
year old, but early forties, late thirties, you're getting a
(33:40):
lot more of that man's Well.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
That's why to bring up baseball one more time.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
That's why if you watch that Red Sox documentary about
the two thousand and four Red Sox and the whole
feud with the Yankees, and it really is a remarkable documentary.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The fact that.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Theo Epstein was in his twenties that they and he
did it with the Socks, the fact that they had
the balls at that time to be.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Like, yeah, you know what, we're gonna give the keys.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
To a twenty something year old and by the way,
get rid of Nomar looking back like that took so
much guts, insane, right, like a lot, because you're picturing
like a coach to me, or you might look like
oh Andy Reid or Pete Carroll or uh well, because
we also grew up in the eighties and coaches Bill Walsh,
(34:27):
Bill one hundred years old, Wade Phillips, like you know,
I picture like a coach, would be like an old guy.
So it's it's wild that, you know, you see the
Lafloors and well, Kyle Shanahan doesn't look any more young anymore.
You're picturing like Earl Weaver and Sparky Lyle and guys
like that, Sparky Anderson, Sparky Anderson.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I mean, Dan Buyer.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Have you seen the before and after picture of when
Kyle Shanahan was was announced as the Niners head coach
and what happened less than a decade later.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Yeah, I would see that side by side, like God,
the rough, tough living.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, I think it's the electrical plant. It's probably that's
what it is. I bet that store. Yeah, that's probably
what it is. But they always say that the toughest
aging jobs in the world are the president of the
United States and a professional coach.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And being Coveno's co host, I thought, can we talk
about look at the skin the hairpiece. Come on, alright,
we got more Cavino and Rich We're gonna go old school.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
We get back.
Speaker 2 (35:24):

a Nick's opponent, but it will be the largest margin
of victory in the history of the New York Knicks
franchise as they beat the Nets tonight one twenty.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
To sixty six.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Man, we gotta get Jalen Brunson in here to do

That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
So before we get into it, let me ask you
a question. Where were you? You gotta do it like
a Fantura home on can.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I asked you a few questions with my bun cheet.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah, I want to take you back to two thousand
and three.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
What were you doing? Where were you? What was going
on in your life? Oh three?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It was right before Rich and I started our show.
We actually started in O four. So I'm working in
old timey times terrestrial radio in New York.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I'm at kay Rock, New York. I'm still driving the
van a little bit.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I'm doing weekends on the air, just on my hustle,
loving rock music, buying CDs. I'm living with my parents still,
that's the truth. I bought my home, my first home
in two thousand and seven, oh three, if I I know,
four oh three? Yeah, what's the year the Marlins beat
the Keys in the World Series. Yeah, not a good
(40:04):
year for the X No, well you crying or do
you all? That's back up bad memories? But you know
what else happened in oh three? A show debuted And
we've been loving this guy. We'll be loved before that,
but he's been all the range. He disappeared for a minute,
came back. I'm talking about Dave Chappelle. Chappelle show him. Yeah,
(40:26):
I love me some Dave Chappelle. I think everybody does.
We've seen his career evolve, I get evolved to he's
like more of an orator now.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Philosopher a comedian inspired by bugs Bunny. That's where inspired
by ask him He'll tell you I love him in
The Nutty Professor. I thought that was one of his
best roles.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
I love him in the Half Baked, Half Baked Yes
Men and Tits, Robin hood Menonites.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah, we've seen his career blossom and his show was
one of the best sketch comedy shows maybe in our lifetime.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
You know why we.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Didn't get a chance to see it suck either, Right,
he dipped out, He turned his back on what fifty
million dollars he did his thing, But we loved that show.
Based on the anniversary, we have a question. By the way,
it's a story of believing in yourself because when he
dipped away from that fifty million in remember he jokes
about how everyone just thinks I went to Africa and
dipped away.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
He said he went there for like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Yeah, so he comes back and everyone's like, man, he
turned down all that money. Who's got the last laugh?
Now his Netflix steals everything he does. Now he just
does a special when he wants and whoever wants to,
We'll just pay him a ton of money. So he's
an amazing comedian, amazing storyteller. But based on the anniversary
of Chappelle's show, what are some of your favorite memories
(41:45):
and sketch comedy?
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Yeah? What a favorite bit? What is the bit that
comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
We're talking in living color, we're talking Saturday Night Live,
We're talking Chappelle's Show, We're talking Key and Peel. But who,
by the way, does Hee Keeth? And Michael Key said
he's open to new Key and Peel. So your favorite
sketch of all time? Do you have one? We'll get
to that in accident, of course, more NFL as we
get ready for championship weekends.
