Covino on Rich, that's us. We're gonna have some fun today.
(00:24):
I mean, I planned on having fun until I heard
Monci Modanios's update. The Yankees got Austin Slater. Who's that?
I mean, what do you think Paul Skeen's is gonna
be given to you or something? I know, Giants fans
and White Sox fans and Oriole fans know who he is.
But forty five career home runs in nine years. I
(00:46):
was expecting a little more power out of that act.
Never Austin Slater. I'd rather have ac Slater. I'd rather
have Christian Slater. Hey, Mama, Hey mama, Hey, I just
hope he brings it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The Yankees need some Cavino and Rich life from the
Fox Sports Radio studio and we be rocking out. Turned
your humped into a hump night. Let's get a hump up.
I was Sam. I'm not saying you were wrong, because
you're entitled to your opinion, but I was. Sam was
the one guy that's like, yeah, Gilmour too, it stinks.
Over fifty million households have now watched. That doesn't mean
(01:22):
it's good. Exactly over people we're curious. Yeah, over a
million people bought Susan Boyle's debut CD. So did Dream
of Time going ball? Yeah, she went like multi platinum.
That doesn't mean it's great. So yeah, a lot of
people tuned in, which means there's a market for a
wedding singer too coming soon. Now, I'm so curious what
(01:44):
Robbie Heart's been up to. Yeah, exactly before we get
into NFL Power rankings. Can't wait. Mid Week Major, we
do it every mid week cast stories in sports and
pop culture. Midweek or major, We'll figure it out. Bad
promo items. I have a question, just a random question,
just to get this ball rolling eight seven, seven ninety
(02:05):
nine on Fox. I had the wildest encounter yesterday ever.
I think it was so fun and so funny and
so out of left field. I just want to know
who else comes to mind. Okay, that's all. I'll make
it quick. I told the story on our Patreon. I'll
be talking about it on Turbo later tonight on series exem.
I want to bring it here to Fox Sports. When
(02:26):
you think of music, and I always think music and
sports go hand in hand. I really do. Can't go
to the stadium for a good game without hearing some
anthems out some Cotton Eye Joe without some ac DC.
What out? What a band and a band member that
I ran into? Yesterday? Where did you come from? Where
did you go?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yesterday I reluctantly went to Coldstone Creamery because my daughter
put the guilt trip on me. She's like, Dad, you
promised all week. I think you're the first person that's
ever uttered that RaSE. Reluctantly went to the greatest ice
cream shop. Man. I wanted to get home and finish
the Yankee, to watch him lose again. Yeah, and to
be honest, nobody needs that much ice cream. There's a
new Oreo Taco Coldstone Cream Retreat and she's like, Dad,
(03:11):
gotta have it. You never take me? So I was like, fine,
but honey, I gotta watch Anthony Volpi. Okay, take another error.
The long Yeah, he's got He's on his fifteenth. I
gotta see it. He leads the league in errors. And
by the way, I heard, they're getting Austin Slater. I
can't wait. So the long story short. If you want
(03:34):
the extended version, catch us on Patreon, Covino and Rich.
I'm trying to make this simple here. I reluctantly went.
But man, what a cold choice it turned out to be.
Because I saw a rock god enter the building. I
couldn't believe my eyes. Sam, Yeah, exactly. Now. My one
hint is the question before I tell you who it is,
(03:56):
can you name a few bands where the ancillary characters,
the bass player, the guitar player, maybe the drummer, are
just as famous, if not more famous, than the lead singer,
because usually it's the lead singer that gets all the escalades.
I have two answers, accolades, I have two answers out
the gate. Who comes to mind? Pete Wentz a fallout boy,
(04:17):
You're right, he's more popular than Patrick Stump. He's a
great answer. Tommy Lee because he has a huge hog
and he did at Pam Anderson. I think another great answer,
Vince Neil is the lead singer, superstar Vato Loco in
his own right. But Tommy Lee is more popular, if
not more popular, than Vince Neil. I'm trying to think.
(04:39):
Sometimes there's an athlete on your team, he's not your
best player. But the most popular bands where they're all superstars, right,
like who comes to mind there? I mean there's a
lot of examples, The Beatles, right, they were all superstars
in like.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Black Sabbath, those other accompanying guys very popular.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Tony Iomi, Geezer, Butler, all big stars because the band
was so massive. One of the guys that I ran
into yesterday is as popular, if not more popular, as
than the lead singer of a mega band, a rock band.
That's what made it so weird that he was at
Coldstone Creamery. One of the Proclaimers. No no, because I
wouldn't know either one of those Guenberger twins. So you
(05:25):
could say, hey, Lars is just as popular as James
Headfield right in Metallica, I mean, the lead singer always
gets more props. You saw ar Rick, no even bigger.
I don't know about what else comes to mind anyone else?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Well, I thought you so I can guess one a
band where like everyone. Yeah, I would say, because they're
all distinct characters like Kiss Bro.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Now on the head, I would say, you made it.
But you might have been wrong about Havy Gilmore too,
but you were right about this. Are you ready to
rock and roll all night? Is that what's going on?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Day?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Growing up? I listened to the Mexican band Bessel. They
were kind of big. I saw them and Lose Lose
Bookies performed together one time. But yo, I'm at Colstone
Creamery reluctant, right, and incomes strutting in Paul Stanley of Kiss.
I s you not and I couldn't believe it, and
he was super cool and he's like, dude, I've been
(06:19):
thinking about ice cream all week. I had to come
in and I'm like, so you don't like it? Love it?
You gotta have it, bro, And it was just so
wild to see. Another answer that comes to mind, slash
to the axle, right, another superstar. There's a lot of
guys that are. They're just big stars, Eddie van Halen
to David Lee Roth. There's other superstars in the band.
Paul Stanley is as much Kiss as anybody else, as
(06:43):
much as Gene Simmons, and he couldn't have been any
cooler and just such a random encounter I had. But
I do challenge the Fox Sports Radio nation, okay, to
let me ask you. Let's think of other examples of that,
because it's few and far between. Rich, I have a
little twist on your question. Go ahead, sports teams, bands, hey, hell,
(07:03):
even TV shows? Where do you feel like the top
billing isn't so obvious? Because as I'm watching my Mets
lose for the third time in a row, to the
padres right now, is it machada or tattoos? So would
you say? He built a great question? And when you
think of football too, right, it's always the quarterback that's
the main star. But sometimes on other meeams, I mean
(07:26):
Jalen Hurts, who's your guy? It's a great question, right?
So kiss? Is it Geene Simmons or is it Paul Stanley?
It's both right. It takes the both of them to
make kiss. It takes all of them. Like like you said,
they're all superstar superheroes in their own right. They had
their own characters. But it was cool to see Paul Stanley,
who was super gracious. I told him about Fox Sports
(07:46):
Radio right down the street, man, He's like, oh yeah, yeah,
I know, and he couldn't have looked better and been cooler.
And you know, we had a good laugh at the moment,
and I told him I would tell this story. He's like, ah, man,
it's great, nice to meet you and everything. So I
ran into Paul stan only randomly yesterday right after Fox
Sports at cold Stone Creamer. You're trying to tell us
Paul Stanley's gonna show up here with ice cream first.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Maybe you recognize him too, because you know, because like,
I don't know if I recognize Geen Simmons, because he immediately.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I would have been able to pick Paul Stanley out
of lineup. I looked at a current photo of him,
and I'm like, I would have just thought like old
boomer with long hair. I mean, personally, I was a
bigger fan of Mike Stanley, the catcher for the Yankees.
But I recognize a superstar. I play Kiss every weekend
on Ozzie's Bone Yard Channel thirty eight. I grew up
with that stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, now that I'm looking at him, he is. He's
got a very memorable face. He's the Kiss member with
the star on his face. So he truly is a
rock superstar without the star in his face.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't know if I you know. And by the way,
just because we're out here in LA, that doesn't mean
we have these celebrity encounters all the time. And when
you see them just strutting around and nobody's bothering him
at an ice cream shop in the middle of the day,
it's sort of random. So sort of pumped me up
and we had a great moment. And then the other
question is that I so badly wanted to ask for
a pick, but I didn't want to like fan boy
(09:04):
out and I'm not the biggest Kiss fan, so i
didn't ask for the pick. But I have the story.
Should I have gotten the pick or not? Is the
other question. I mean, if the pick was you and
him feeding each other ice cream, have some birthday cake
ice cream?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
No, you had a nice back and forth.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Man to man, I'm there with my kid and I'm like,
come on, Melanie, we got all day Paul Stanley's waiting.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
We had a good laugh. It was fun, and you know,
the kids behind the counter had no idea who he was,
which was wild. But they were wearing his T shirt though. Yeah,
but they were wearing his T shirt the favorite kiss song.
I don't know, yeah, but you know two questions. Can
you think of any of the examples where the lead
singer isn't necessarily the biggest story or I'm saying like
we're the dual, it's hard to It's like I said,
(09:49):
Machado and Tatis. I wonder if the Padres Hurt Sparkley
another good one, Yeah, Jalen Hurts and Saquon. There there
are teams where there's no oh, like, well, that's like
when you were a kid, there were teams that had,
you know, rest in peace, Ryan Samberg. I also said
he was number one. Yeah, Andre Dawson was was a
beast too. But if you would have say Cubs when
(10:10):
we were kids, Ryan Samberg, you would say Cardinals. Bozzie Smith,
a name jumps out. Are there teams where you're like, no,
there's two stars that have top billing, Like if you
look around the arena or stadium, you're gonna see a
mix of those jerseys, like right now for the Dodgers.
If you took away who is the big star of
your eighty six mets, couldn't It's a good question. If
(10:33):
you took away show Hey, Tony, if you took away
oh Tani, because obviously he's the answer. Would it be
Freddy your Mookie? Because that, to me is a great question,
is who's the top biller like Monzi?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Those two are almost equal. And then Will Smith would
be after that.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Freddie your Mookie. It's a tough one.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
No, it's not. It's not.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You don't think it's as.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I think it's Freddy.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh wow. Because of the World series and because.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
It was a fall up for MOOKI is evident and clear,
and Freddy is not falling off and he has the
walk off he has.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Who has more star power? It's it's Freddy.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
It's Freddy.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
What about the other one? I said, your your rival?
Is it Machado or Tattis Junior? See that's a good one, right,
because he's real. They're both stars.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
They're both stars.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That was yesterday, and Sam, I know you have a
Gene Simmons story, but we'll get to your phone calls
at eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox And of
course we got to talk bad promo items.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Next.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Sam?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Quickly, very quick?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
So I had a run in with Gene Simmons here
at Fox Sports Radio so we have a lobby that
can take you up to these larger floors in our building.
We're like here on the first floor, I'm getting on
the elevator. In steps Gen Simmons, who's a very tall man.
He's probably six two sixty three, big dude, and he's
with a woman and he's talking about fabrics. He leans
over to me, he like pinches my shirt and rubs it.
He's like, it's kind of like a fabric like this
(11:52):
talking to this woman. And I was just like, Gene
Simmons just pinched me andres a prop rubbed my shirt
and he just acted like your nip, no, no, just yeah,
I wish he pinches the shirt. He's like yeah, kind
of like a fabric like this, and then he just
turns to the woman keeps talking and I was like,
that's the coolest thing that's ever happened. Like he he
just completely ignored me. He was like yeah, just like
you're like a mannequin, like just rub.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
The shirt, move on. And it's also random and unexpected,
which which made my encounters And I was like, oh,
that's great. I don't know why I find that.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Sam.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Last fifteen seconds you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Picture Sam just don't police standing great word.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I was like, and then he just just leans over
and touches my shirt and I'm like, you.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Didn't say anything back.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I was just like, it's kind of like googly eyed.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I was like, all right, we got a few phone calls,
but we can move on. Yeah, it was like a
plaid shirt or something, I don't know, a fennel or
a fennel and flannel. Flannel, man, maybe a good thing
he didn't talk to him. It's fennel, sir, I mean
the vegetable or whatever. So I also think it's hilarious
that seventy three year old got superstar rock Star rock
(12:59):
Cuy had such a hankering for ice cream that he
had to go in the middle of a Tuesday just
to get it. Celebrities, they're just like a you think
he does like ice cream? To see paints his face
like a clown. When you're a megastar like that, I
guess he's older megastar. Yeah, bro Kiss Worldwide is huge
at this stage. He's seventy three. Coffee, you don't think
(13:20):
he could go get ice cream stadiums, you know, it's
it's kind of a rare stadiums you have zero say
on the significance of Kiss. You probably just heard of
him three years ago. They are superstars worldwide. Geane had
his own reality show for a few years Wide Superstars.
I'm not saying I'm not a big I'm not a
big Kiss fan, but I'm agree that Kiss is huge.
(13:43):
But the implication that Paul Stanley can't go to Coldstone Creamery,
that being harassed like one out of fifty people would
recognize him without his makeup on as seventy three year
old guy. Yeah, the makeup did keep there and emmininity
and anonymity for so that is true. But you can't
(14:05):
downplay the madmthity of the band Kiss, whether you like
him or not. And they do tie into the stadium anthem.
I'll back yup though that Paul Stanley is a close
number two to Gene Simmons, if not a band where
everyone was needed.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I'll about your guy, are right? Yeah, just have that song?
I play occasionally a Rockin' in New York City or
back in the New York in the New York Groove.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Rocking in New York City is equally good, but but
no back in the New York Groove by Ace Freely
speaking of Kiss, that was the one where he was
the lead singer on That is what the Mets play
every time they win a game.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
There you go, who's the drummer? I don't know. I
don't know the drummer.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't think he is the Chris Peter Cris, all right,
I'll take it before it right. He could have just
made that up. I agree, no, but it is it
is Peter Cris. What movie did they highlight kiss a lot?
Was that Role Models with Paul Rudd? Yes, when they
all dressed up as All right, let's go to your
phone calls, your feedback. There's a couple of questions here.
(15:05):
When a team or a band, there's no real like
clear number one? Can you can you think of examples
of that? And uh, just the hilarity of Comino seeing
Paul Stanley getting a birthday cake explosion. It was a cookie,
don't you want? So there's one it called him to
(15:27):
tie it to sports, It's called like cake bat, I bad,
I bad a batter something like that. Yeah, that's what
he ordered, by the way, just to make the story
more fun, I have the cake batter, batter, batter, swing batter.
All right, Kate and Reno.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
What's up, Kaid, Hey, how are we doing today?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We're good man, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
To second guys, you know I grew up a Yankees fan,
and growing up Ale Rodriguez, I gotta say, was probably
the best player on the game. But as you guys know, Derek,
you know the top.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
That is a great example if there's a This is
how I always think about it. When your team makes
their promo picture for the upcoming season, who's the main
guy who's front and center? Like, if you're a Mets fan,
I was shocked. I mean, they spent all the money
on Sodo the front of it, the front of like
let's say a Mets montage would be Soto, then Lindor's
a little smaller, but right there Peter Lonso was like
(16:23):
a little step behind them in the montage. Like there's
a there's definitely a Dodger's montage somewhere where it's a
big show. Hey to the right and left end of
his Mookie and Freddy and.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Then will Smith the four Yeah, Danny hit it. Will
Smith is also there and.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Maybe for the Mets, Edwin Diaz because he's the closer,
Like you have your order as Camino loves to say,
back in the day, who got the T shirt? Because
they weren't printing T shirts for every player back in
the day. Think of your baseball card collection in the
they make a starting lineup of that's the way to
put it to. That's another one. Yeah, who who did
they make the toy the starting lineup for? They made
it for like two guys a team, but on your
baseball if you remember your baseball card. Speaking of the Yankees,
(16:57):
there was two for the title. Who was the are
back then? Dave winfielder Don Manning? Yeah, I think I
think Dave Winfield was also on like the Twins and
the Padres and other teams like Don Maddingly, top Bill,
you gave a good one. And I don't even have
an answer as the biggest Mets fan, you know, when
you think of that legendary eighty six Mets team, my
only moment of glory as a little schoolboy, I ask you, guys,
(17:20):
who's the biggest name, Because as a New York Mets fan,
when you think of that eighties doing drugs, acting crazy team,
is it Keith Hernandez, Darryl Doc I think dwy couldn't.
Gary car, Gary Carter at that time, Dwight couldn't had
ms on the Dwight guyscrapers in Manhattan. The craziest part, though,
is that Dwight couldn't was like the guy that showed
(17:42):
up nowhere in the postseason, like he was the best
pitcher in that moment. But look at the stats. Dwight
couldin did not have a good nineteen eighty six postseason.
So is it a Gary Carter? Do you think of
Keith Hernandez? It's a it's a fun question to your buddy.
So anything swing. You could take this in your pipe
if you have one, and smoke on it with your buddies.
(18:02):
So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. You can always hit us
up at Covino and Rich Pod Sports Radio. Phrase, by
the way, should be like put that in your vapor,
smoke it or something like you could put that in
your vapor, smoke it, vape it that in your vapor, Yeah,
Robin Vegas, swit's up. Rob Hey, rob Hey.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Guys, how about rock music? How about.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Jimmy Page was.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Just as famous.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Robert Plant.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's a good one because you know what the I'll
give you the I'll give you the test if you
don't really care much about classic rock. You know both
those names? Yeah, absolutely plus like you would name me.
Page had that pedigree from other bands. He was known
as the superstar guitar player that needed elite singer. And
then came Robert plant.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
In that same vein how about Slash.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, I Danny you dipped out. I said that, like
he's a superstar in his own right, maybe even bigger
than Axel. Right, yeah it was another supergroups, Yeah, another supergroups.
It's it's very rare that people could hold their own
like that and and still be the guy in a
band or on a team.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
How about in hip hop there are DJs who are
just as popular as the MC, dating back to Eric
being Rock Kim, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince jam
Master J from Run DMC.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, those are and again few and far between it Otherwise,
those are usually the ancillary people who are just in
the band or whatever. It's not so much an ego thing,
but it's a who is the star thing? Like you're
seeing Timberlake get a lot of crap late league is
he's not singing at his concerts. He's like holding the
mic to the crowd, but justin Timberlake was cruly.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I got this feeling inside my bomb.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I'm just gonna hand the mic to the crowd. Now
it's your job to saying, guys, but like clearly as
much as you know, no disrespect to Lance Bass and
Joey Fittona and those nice guys. But Timberlake was the star,
right right, I mean, like, but then there's ones where
I'm like, I don't know, you tell me if I
say black guyed Peas, was it all Fergie or are
you like, no, those guys without her they all I
(19:57):
guess the black Eyed Peace I think, I like Will
I Am is a star in his own right. So
I mean there's a taboo always, So we'll wrap it
with your phone calls. Thanks for hearing me out though,
And I know it sounds weird because I'm not the
biggest Kiss fan and I've never seen them live and
(20:17):
I play them every weekend on another radio show. Grew
up listening to that stuff. But it really was such
a cool experience because he was such a cool and
humble guy. Got off and do you see a big
eighties rock star at Coltstone Creek exactly whip cream on.
Its so random, so at least thanks for hearing me out.
I have ridiculous. That sounds Tony in Oregon. What's up man?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Hey, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
I do have a band that when they're in their heyday.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
They were all number ones.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But first it regardless to Paul Stanley the burning question
in regards to the ice cream, did you ask did
he lick it up? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Bro, till Thursday.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I did play it off so cool, MONSI you'll appreciate this.
I I go to my daughter afterward, I'm like, you
know that was She's like, oh, dad, friend from I
thought that was like one of your old pals or something.
I'm like, hey, show down, I'm not that old, but
your old classmate dad, just to prove I did and
fanboy out. She thought it was just some guy I
knew because we were throwing it up for a good
(21:18):
like seven minutes or so.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know it could be your dad.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah he could. Yeah, he couldn't even three d he's
older than my dad. But he looked fantastic. He really did,
so I give him props for that. And he did
seem to know everything about Fox Sports Radio right here
in town, right down the street. Like he was aware
of what we did. So I told him that I'd
be calling him out that lick it up joke. It's great, great,
Tony said. He had an example to Tony. You're still there, buddy,
(21:42):
We're still there. Yeah, what's up? Oh okay? So yeah,
back in their day, man, the Eagles like they were
all number.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
One, you know, uh from him and Don Joe, Glenn
a number one.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's a good that's that's a great one. Yeah. That
is because you need Don Henley, you need Glenn Fry,
you need all those dudes. The dude that's saying, I
can't tell you why I have another one for you.
I can't tell you. Let's go back yesterday. We talked
about how Scottie Scheffler would give up a title for
the Cowboys to win a Super Bowl. When you think
(22:13):
of those nineties Cowboys teams, there last moments of glory.
No disrespect to Troy Aikman, you know the White jay Z. Yeah,
no disrespect to Troy Aikman. That was it was Emitt Smith,
it was Michael Irvin, it was the defense, offensive line.
Troy Aikman, that's a crazy quarterback. But we should have
been the main star. But he really was like saying
with Terry Bradshaw, good quarterback, but it was that steel
(22:34):
curtain defense. So when you say Cowboys in the nineties,
is it Emmett or do you think the trifecta of Emmett, Irving,
Michael Irvin, and Troy I would say, if we're going
to pick a headliner, it's Emmett, Emmett, Right, Yeah, it's
Emma Smith, which is rare because it's usually the quarterback.
Same with again, it's usually the lead singer that's the
biggest star. But not all the time, not all the time,
(22:56):
but most of the time. We'll get to the rest
of your phone calls. Phones are all lit up this
so it all right. So we'll go through all this
and then now that we're in the football type of mood,
because tomorrow is the official unofficial I guess official kickoff
of the NFL season, your first preseason game, not a Thursday.
We'll go by until February of twenty twenty six without
(23:17):
football on a Thursday. With that said, we're gonna go
over the NFL on Fox Power rankings. Cavino and I
have not looked at these Danny G wants to see
how accurate we are compared to what the experts are saying.
So we'll go over some NFL power rankings. We'll do
some games, give away some prizes, a lot of fun
coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio. It really
(23:44):
was a great joke. Wish I thought of it live
from the Fox Sports Radio studio Covino and Rich. If
you miss any of today's show, you want to catch
the podcast. Search Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcasts,
and right after the show every day the best of
goes up, puts up our podcast. You gotta rate it
five stars because anything less is uncivilized. Search Coveno and
(24:06):
Rich who we appreciate it, and it's being a Coveno
and Rich. We're gonna be filling in for the Herd tomorrow.
You heard in for the Herd on Thursday and Friday,
so again, if it messes with your schedule, catch it
on the podcast. I'm Steve Covino, that is Rich, Rich Davis, Iowa,
Sam Danny G. Monzi's here spots on the videos at
(24:28):
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. You know, I'm
pretty pumped about this Mets trade. I know it's a
little piece, but it just shows that Mets are trying
to win. Now, Monsei, you and Danny g may be
more familiar with this guy because you're NL West fans.
Tyler Rogers of the Giants at Submarine Sidearm Pitcher the
Mets face in the other day. He's hard to hit
(24:50):
his erasing the one. So the Mets gave up some
notable prospects and Anti Price. What was the update on
Solo though? The he's uh, the icing his toe. I
don't know, making a seat.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I didn't see if he was.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I know we've found the ball off his foot, off
his leg and he was hobbling around. Yeah, so congrats,
moves are being made. Tomorrow is the deadline, and that'll
give us more to talk about on the Herd tomorrow,
all the moves, the last minute moves, Austin Slater to
the Yanks, Rich's new pitcher, you'll hear more from He's
not in the lineup today, so I'm guessing day to day,
(25:26):
but you will start to see that over the next jeez.
We have exactly twenty four and a half hours because
the trade deadline ends I believe tomorrow at six pm. Eastern,
So your team has roughly twenty four hours right now
to make that move you want them to make. And again,
for some teams, it's really just getting that one extra
(25:48):
lefty right out of the bullpen that they feel they need.
I don't think in today's day and age, our buddy
Dan Byer said it the other day where everyone sort
of feels like they're not that far away because of
the third wildcard. I don't think you're seeing a lot
of teams make big, big moves. But there's not gonna
be a big, big move. I don't think we'll see
and we'll talk about it manyana right right now, we'll
(26:09):
wrap up with your phone calls at a seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. When it's hard to figure out
who's the top biller of the band, of the team, yeah,
because sometimes they share equal building. Right, you can't say
that Paul McCartney was a bigger star than John Lennon.
There was equal billing. They were all stars. It's in
(26:29):
their own right, n w A. Who is the bigger star?
Ice Cube, Easy E Doctor Dre. We're gonna say ice
Cube because Easy passed away. But at that time, at
that time, it was easy e right, but you could
make a you could make a debate out of it.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
At the very beginning, Easy was the bigger solo artist
until ice Cube went off on his own.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
But they were all big stars. I ran into Paul
Stanley getting ice cream yesterday, and we're saying he's equally
as big of a star as Gene Simmons. If not,
but who else comes to mind? You know you should
have done You should have quickly used some whipped cream
and fudge to make your own kiss face on yourself.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Run for the hills.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, that wouldn't have been weird. And by the way,
he did, uh, just for the sake of conversation order
he ordered ter Reese's Peanut butter awesome sauce. That's great. Yeah,
it does say how did Dan in Kansas City?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Dan? Hey?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (27:25):
You know, uh, I got one sports and one music.
I don't want to be like I will Sam and
take everybody.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You got a reputation.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Mahomes and Kelsey just because Kelsey and Taylor Swift, that's
a great one.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
You saw whether they like each other. When's the last
time you saw Joe Perry and Steven Tyler apart?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Those are great examples, Man, those are your examples of
the other members are super famous. Yeah, Rolling Stones another example,
Keith Richards is a super famous guitar player. Mick Jagger
obviously is the star, but they all hold their own weight.
Thank you, Dan, appreciate you. I wonder and don't worry,
(28:10):
You're not gonna have to sit through this exercise. But
I wonder if we wrote down all thirty two NFL
teams and did a name the most famous big star
on this team, how many of the thirty two teams
would all six of us in this studio met match.
You know that's funny. There was I bet you twenty
twenty five, maybe maybe less. Aaron Judge is the captain
and he's the big star, but he admitted it recently,
(28:32):
which was sort of weird for him to say. Did
you see that. He's like, yeah, I'm I'm the guy.
He's like, I'm the guy. Which is interesting because John
Carlos Stanton is also on that team. Garrett Coles on
that Stanton is unk. Now, Yeah, Jazz Chisholm's not there,
and but it's wild to see. We all know he's
the top biller, but he admitted he's like he's the
(28:53):
guy because.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
He's not like that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, that's not like Yeah, So let's wrap it up
with Orlando. Who do we got there? Hey, Shelle, you're
on the Covino and Rich Show. And then we got
Manzi's update.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Hey what's going on?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Hey, I'm a child of the eighties, actually raised in the nineties.
But I can't believe that someone hasn't been said yet.
But tell me a time in history when the bassis
has taken Top Building over the lead singer Red Hot
Chili Peppers to Flee over Anthony Ketis.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
That's a great example. These players are free. That is
a fantastic answer, because well, I love the Chili Peppers.
Anthony keatas legend flee was in Back to the Future too.
Flea's done acting. We all know, just such a dynamic
bass player. Yeah, you know what. The other example, not
as cool, Shelle, would be Pete Wentz, a fallout boy
because he dated Ashley Simpson in the two thousands and
(29:40):
he's sort of a notable guy. I don't think any
I bet you people don't even realize Patrick Stump is
the main due Paul McCartney was a bass player. Just
for the record, but hey, that's a great one. Thanks
for Sharon. We'll take the rest of your answer the
base slapping the base man. We'll take the rest of
your answers at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Out to Paul Stanley and now shout out to the
(30:03):
one the only month se guys.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Happy to be hanging out. Yes.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Trade deadline for baseball tomorrow, Thursday, sixth Eastern. So the
moves that have happened today, in case you've missed them.
The Reds have traded for gold Glove third baseman Key
Brian Hayes from the Pirates. The Mariners have also traded
four left handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Pirates.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
The Pirates are just like take everybody but Paul Skeins.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Mets have acquired right handed pitcher Tyler Rogers from the Giants,
and the Giants have acquired White Sox outfielder Austin Slater
to help. While you know, Aaron Judge is on the
il bravestar Ronald Acunya Junior has a Grade one cap strain.
He could return in two to three weeks. Not sure
if he will since the Braves are pretty much out
of the running. We'll go to baseball right now. Pirates
and Giants tied at one apiece. Top of the eighth,
(30:49):
Padres shutting out the Mets four zero, bottom of the fifth.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Tigers have won four in a row.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
They topped the Diamondback seven to two, while the Blue
Jays snapped their four game losing streak with a nine
to eight win over the Orioles. In the NFL, Isaiah,
likely titan for the Ravens, is going to undergo surgery
to repair a broken bone in his foot. He's expected
to miss six weeks, but he could be ready for
Week one. Bengals have released veteran running back Zach Moss
after one season in the NBA. Former NBA star Gilbert
(31:15):
Arenas and five other defendants were arrested today on a
federal indictment alleging they operated an illegal gambling business in
which high stakes poker games were played at an Encino
mansion that Arenas owned. I would have absolutely gone to
that if had I had I been invited. Lastly, here
in the non sports world, the canned cocktail maker high
(31:35):
Noon is warning customers that some of their vodka Seltzers
were accidentally labeled as Celsius energy drinks.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Good luck on the lookout, yep, for.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Real, I'm a big fan of the Strawberry High noons
we get both. Actually, yeah, I get a Celsius every
once in a while.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Good luck with that.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Am so tired? Or his dots would say, surprise of
them exactly, so funny.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Se have you get an energy drink but you start
feeling a little too.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Loose, Maybe Vodas or the tequila is better. The tequila
ones are pretty good. That's the instead of blue, it's
like green.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yeah, I'm not going to drink that.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
No know why Brenda was picking up trash at the
beach yesterday?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Thank you monte. And by the way, Rich, does you
know Cabrian Hayes who's now a Red I guess according
to your updates from the Pirates. That's Charlie Hayes's son
from the Yankees nineteen ninety six, last out Charlie Hays. Yeah,
that's his son and the Yankees who are showing interest
for a while. But he's a he's a top player,
(32:40):
so props to him. Now listen, coming up, we're there
a day away from the first preseason game of the NFL,
which is wild when you think about it. We're there already,
can't wait. We're gonna go over what Fox TV NFL
on Fox says the top teams are. We'll see if
we agree with their power rankings, and we'll talk a
(33:02):
little faces of the big teams as well. You know what,
now that I thought about it, I do want to
pick a couple teams and say we agree on who
is the face of the franchise. We'll do that next
right here, Cavino Rich shout out to mercerman in Pittsburgh.
Rich speaking of the Pirates, Yeah, he said, you gotta
(33:23):
give Tom Morello props too, because he wasn't the lead
in Rage Against Machine or Audio say, but is his
own superstar and his own right, it's a great one.
It's usually the lead singer that gets all the accolades,
all the props, talking top billing today, sometimes it's hard
to figure out who the superstar is. Is it Covino
or Rich? Oh Man? You know, we are a rare
(33:47):
show in that I don't think people think there's a
lead and there really isn't. Like we know what's at
other duo shows, there's usually like here, Fox, what's ready.
I heard a phrase like someone's like in the driver's
seat or the main seat. Is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Like like that night like Jason Smith and Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, with Mike Harmon. This show used to be the
Covino Show with Rich and then Rich got promoted.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, I know, now it's Coveno and then then it
was the Rich David Show with Guillermo. I mean Cavino. No,
you know what. It's true though. We are a rarity,
and it's been told to us from management and upper
management of It's rare when a show is split down
the middle like a pair of butt cheeks, fifty fifty couples,
depending on Yeah, because we're a couple of asses, depending
(34:34):
on the discussion. It doesn't matter. But baseball teams, football teams, Yeah,
basketball team. Sometimes it's hard to figure out who the
top star is. And we're gonna wrap it up with
Rich's thought, but first to play the day, Yeah, let's
do this. We are live from the Fox Sports Radio
studio and Cal Rowley wasn't having a season. He's having
People might be talking about this catcher, your dude, Will.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Smith and on the pitch to Walie Swings, he drills
up to left field. SPO's gonna head back and bounce
off the track and off the wall.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
I'm in a round.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Second, he's on his way to third. He's being waved home.
The cutoff is dropped, head first, slide safe, and Will
Smith the liver is with two outs shot. He gets
the go ahead run in and the Dodgers lead at
five to four.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Five to four, The Dodgers win. This courtesy of AM
five to seventy Dodgers Audio Network, and that was our
Tire ract Play of the Day. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com the way tire
(35:39):
buying should be. You know, interestingly enough, I think when
you listen to radio shows and podcasts, not even on
this network, you're right there is someone that usually like
starts every segment or reads the commercial. We might be
the only show that doesn't have that system. I'm not
saying it's always ego, but it's usually ego. Right in
what makes Covenie and Rich lasts so long as you
(36:02):
try to put that aside, and it's just, you know,
depending on who's more passionate about that discussion as usually
who's leading it, but otherwise it's always a back and forth.
But I ran into Paul Stanley of Kiss yesterday and
I said, oh, that makes you better than me, though
I said that Kiss is Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley,
but collectively it was all of the characters that made
(36:23):
the band. But he was equally, if not more, of
the star of Kiss. Well to prove that point, which
is interesting, usually the lead singer is the star. In
the NFL, it's the quarterback. And I said, I wasn't
gonna do this, but I couldn't resist. God damn it. Again.
I went to the AFC. The sixteen teams in the AFC,
in my mind, eleven of the sixteen teams, the quarterback
(36:44):
is the face. And I think five of the teams
in the AFC the quarterback is not the face. Oh wow,
so that we're not playing big guessing games. Let's go
through each division real quick and see if you agree. Okay,
and then we'll do power rankings next time. Well, we'll
talk about your NFL have some fun AFC East Buffalo
Josh Allen. Josh Allen, I think Miami is one of
the exceptions. I think Tyreek Hill would be the number
(37:06):
one guy on that team as far as like notability,
people know him. I don't think it's too.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
It could even be Mike McDaniels.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
The coach sometimes because I feel the same about Denver.
So that's I think Miami one of the teams. So
I think Tyreek would be your guy. I think because
there's not many stars of the team, Drake May and
New England because I don't know if you could even
name like the average person will be on who's on
New England and the Jets. I think Sauce Gardner because
Justin Field is new and Sauce is a character, right,
So so I think two of them are in the
(37:35):
AFC East. Then you go to the North Cincinnati Burrough, Pittsburgh,
Aaron Rodgers, Baltimore Lamar. I think Miles Garrett and Cleveland
because they don't know what's going on with the quarterbacks.
So I think right now Cleveland fans will be like
Miles Garrett, Miles Garretts are our guy. So that makes
three third team? Yeah, are we all in agreement so far. Yeah,
(37:56):
let's go south. I think three more quarterbacks Tennessee cam
Ward because that they have a lot of high hopes.
Jacksonville still Trevor Lawrence and Houston C. J. Stroud. I
think Indianapolis Jonathan Taylor because I think you're like Richardson
Daniel Jones. It's Jonathan Telly your running back right now.
That's you. That's your fourth. And I think in the AFC,
(38:19):
West Mahomes Herbert and bo Nix with the asterisks of
Sean Payton being you know, the star. I think right now,
Max Crosby for the Raiders is the fifth. In the AFC,
I think I think I nailed this. By the way,
I think team face of the team eleven of the
sixteen AFC teams. So this happens, but it's the lead singer. Yeah,
(38:42):
it's the lead singer thing. It's the Raiders would be
an example of the bass players the main guy.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, although now I think they'll split the screen a
little bit with Geno Smith.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, that's if Gino plays well. I think you're right,
but as a right because I thought Brock Bowers naw,
he's a tight end that needs a quarterback. You know,
like so the AFC, you're looking at two out of three,
you know, eleven of the sixteen and our quarterbacks because
that's who. And if if the face of your team
isn't the quarterback, there's a likely chance you're you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
For your Niners. Would it be McCaffrey or your boy party.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Maybe we'll get to the NFC later, Danny. Yeah, the
theme of the show the NFC, And of course we're
gonna go over some of the power rankings in the
NFL and cave. You know, we also have Mike's Wednesday
Words of Wisdom, Midweek Major, It's National Wing Day and
Tommy Nike Wingy. So there's lots to get to by
speaking of the NFL power rankings. Will do that next.
Can't wait. If you ever want to chime in or

Covino on Rich, that's us. We're gonna have some fun today.
(00:24):
I mean, I planned on having fun until I heard
Monci Modanios's update. The Yankees got Austin Slater. Who's that?
I mean, what do you think Paul Skeen's is gonna
be given to you or something? I know, Giants fans
and White Sox fans and Oriole fans know who he is.
But forty five career home runs in nine years. I
(00:46):
was expecting a little more power out of that act.
Never Austin Slater. I'd rather have ac Slater. I'd rather
have Christian Slater. Hey, Mama, Hey mama, Hey, I just
hope he brings it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The Yankees need some Cavino and Rich life from the
Fox Sports Radio studio and we be rocking out. Turned
your humped into a hump night. Let's get a hump up.
I was Sam. I'm not saying you were wrong, because
you're entitled to your opinion, but I was. Sam was
the one guy that's like, yeah, Gilmour too, it stinks.
Over fifty million households have now watched. That doesn't mean
(01:22):
it's good. Exactly over people we're curious. Yeah, over a
million people bought Susan Boyle's debut CD. So did Dream
of Time going ball? Yeah, she went like multi platinum.
That doesn't mean it's great. So yeah, a lot of
people tuned in, which means there's a market for a
wedding singer too coming soon. Now, I'm so curious what
(01:44):
Robbie Heart's been up to. Yeah, exactly before we get
into NFL Power rankings. Can't wait. Mid Week Major, we
do it every mid week cast stories in sports and
pop culture. Midweek or major, We'll figure it out. Bad
promo items. I have a question, just a random question,
just to get this ball rolling eight seven, seven ninety
(02:05):
nine on Fox. I had the wildest encounter yesterday ever.
I think it was so fun and so funny and
so out of left field. I just want to know
who else comes to mind. Okay, that's all. I'll make
it quick. I told the story on our Patreon. I'll
be talking about it on Turbo later tonight on series exem.
I want to bring it here to Fox Sports. When
(02:26):
you think of music, and I always think music and
sports go hand in hand. I really do. Can't go
to the stadium for a good game without hearing some
anthems out some Cotton Eye Joe without some ac DC.
What out? What a band and a band member that
I ran into? Yesterday? Where did you come from? Where
did you go?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yesterday I reluctantly went to Coldstone Creamery because my daughter
put the guilt trip on me. She's like, Dad, you
promised all week. I think you're the first person that's
ever uttered that RaSE. Reluctantly went to the greatest ice
cream shop. Man. I wanted to get home and finish
the Yankee, to watch him lose again. Yeah, and to
be honest, nobody needs that much ice cream. There's a
new Oreo Taco Coldstone Cream Retreat and she's like, Dad,
(03:11):
gotta have it. You never take me? So I was like, fine,
but honey, I gotta watch Anthony Volpi. Okay, take another error.
The long Yeah, he's got He's on his fifteenth. I
gotta see it. He leads the league in errors. And
by the way, I heard, they're getting Austin Slater. I
can't wait. So the long story short. If you want
(03:34):
the extended version, catch us on Patreon, Covino and Rich.
I'm trying to make this simple here. I reluctantly went.
But man, what a cold choice it turned out to be.
Because I saw a rock god enter the building. I
couldn't believe my eyes. Sam, Yeah, exactly. Now. My one
hint is the question before I tell you who it is,
(03:56):
can you name a few bands where the ancillary characters,
the bass player, the guitar player, maybe the drummer, are
just as famous, if not more famous, than the lead singer,
because usually it's the lead singer that gets all the escalades.
I have two answers, accolades, I have two answers out
the gate. Who comes to mind? Pete Wentz a fallout boy,
(04:17):
You're right, he's more popular than Patrick Stump. He's a
great answer. Tommy Lee because he has a huge hog
and he did at Pam Anderson. I think another great answer,
Vince Neil is the lead singer, superstar Vato Loco in
his own right. But Tommy Lee is more popular, if
not more popular, than Vince Neil. I'm trying to think.
(04:39):
Sometimes there's an athlete on your team, he's not your
best player. But the most popular bands where they're all superstars, right,
like who comes to mind there? I mean there's a
lot of examples, The Beatles, right, they were all superstars
in like.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Black Sabbath, those other accompanying guys very popular.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Tony Iomi, Geezer, Butler, all big stars because the band
was so massive. One of the guys that I ran
into yesterday is as popular, if not more popular, as
than the lead singer of a mega band, a rock band.
That's what made it so weird that he was at
Coldstone Creamery. One of the Proclaimers. No no, because I
wouldn't know either one of those Guenberger twins. So you
(05:25):
could say, hey, Lars is just as popular as James
Headfield right in Metallica, I mean, the lead singer always
gets more props. You saw ar Rick, no even bigger.
I don't know about what else comes to mind anyone else?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Well, I thought you so I can guess one a
band where like everyone. Yeah, I would say, because they're
all distinct characters like Kiss Bro.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Now on the head, I would say, you made it.
But you might have been wrong about Havy Gilmore too,
but you were right about this. Are you ready to
rock and roll all night? Is that what's going on?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Day?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Growing up? I listened to the Mexican band Bessel. They
were kind of big. I saw them and Lose Lose
Bookies performed together one time. But yo, I'm at Colstone
Creamery reluctant, right, and incomes strutting in Paul Stanley of Kiss.
I s you not and I couldn't believe it, and
he was super cool and he's like, dude, I've been
(06:19):
thinking about ice cream all week. I had to come
in and I'm like, so you don't like it? Love it?
You gotta have it, bro, And it was just so
wild to see. Another answer that comes to mind, slash
to the axle, right, another superstar. There's a lot of
guys that are. They're just big stars, Eddie van Halen
to David Lee Roth. There's other superstars in the band.
Paul Stanley is as much Kiss as anybody else, as
(06:43):
much as Gene Simmons, and he couldn't have been any
cooler and just such a random encounter I had. But
I do challenge the Fox Sports Radio nation, okay, to
let me ask you. Let's think of other examples of that,
because it's few and far between. Rich, I have a
little twist on your question. Go ahead, sports teams, bands, hey, hell,
(07:03):
even TV shows? Where do you feel like the top
billing isn't so obvious? Because as I'm watching my Mets
lose for the third time in a row, to the
padres right now, is it machada or tattoos? So would
you say? He built a great question? And when you
think of football too, right, it's always the quarterback that's
the main star. But sometimes on other meeams, I mean
(07:26):
Jalen Hurts, who's your guy? It's a great question, right?
So kiss? Is it Geene Simmons or is it Paul Stanley?
It's both right. It takes the both of them to
make kiss. It takes all of them. Like like you said,
they're all superstar superheroes in their own right. They had
their own characters. But it was cool to see Paul Stanley,
who was super gracious. I told him about Fox Sports
(07:46):
Radio right down the street, man, He's like, oh yeah, yeah,
I know, and he couldn't have looked better and been cooler.
And you know, we had a good laugh at the moment,
and I told him I would tell this story. He's like, ah, man,
it's great, nice to meet you and everything. So I
ran into Paul stan only randomly yesterday right after Fox
Sports at cold Stone Creamer. You're trying to tell us
Paul Stanley's gonna show up here with ice cream first.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Maybe you recognize him too, because you know, because like,
I don't know if I recognize Geen Simmons, because he immediately.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I would have been able to pick Paul Stanley out
of lineup. I looked at a current photo of him,
and I'm like, I would have just thought like old
boomer with long hair. I mean, personally, I was a
bigger fan of Mike Stanley, the catcher for the Yankees.
But I recognize a superstar. I play Kiss every weekend
on Ozzie's Bone Yard Channel thirty eight. I grew up
with that stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, now that I'm looking at him, he is. He's
got a very memorable face. He's the Kiss member with
the star on his face. So he truly is a
rock superstar without the star in his face.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't know if I you know. And by the way,
just because we're out here in LA, that doesn't mean
we have these celebrity encounters all the time. And when
you see them just strutting around and nobody's bothering him
at an ice cream shop in the middle of the day,
it's sort of random. So sort of pumped me up
and we had a great moment. And then the other
question is that I so badly wanted to ask for
a pick, but I didn't want to like fan boy
(09:04):
out and I'm not the biggest Kiss fan, so i
didn't ask for the pick. But I have the story.
Should I have gotten the pick or not? Is the
other question. I mean, if the pick was you and
him feeding each other ice cream, have some birthday cake
ice cream?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
No, you had a nice back and forth.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Man to man, I'm there with my kid and I'm like,
come on, Melanie, we got all day Paul Stanley's waiting.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
We had a good laugh. It was fun, and you know,
the kids behind the counter had no idea who he was,
which was wild. But they were wearing his T shirt though. Yeah,
but they were wearing his T shirt the favorite kiss song.
I don't know, yeah, but you know two questions. Can
you think of any of the examples where the lead
singer isn't necessarily the biggest story or I'm saying like
we're the dual, it's hard to It's like I said,
(09:49):
Machado and Tatis. I wonder if the Padres Hurt Sparkley
another good one, Yeah, Jalen Hurts and Saquon. There there
are teams where there's no oh, like, well, that's like
when you were a kid, there were teams that had,
you know, rest in peace, Ryan Samberg. I also said
he was number one. Yeah, Andre Dawson was was a
beast too. But if you would have say Cubs when
(10:10):
we were kids, Ryan Samberg, you would say Cardinals. Bozzie Smith,
a name jumps out. Are there teams where you're like, no,
there's two stars that have top billing, Like if you
look around the arena or stadium, you're gonna see a
mix of those jerseys, like right now for the Dodgers.
If you took away who is the big star of
your eighty six mets, couldn't It's a good question. If
(10:33):
you took away show Hey, Tony, if you took away
oh Tani, because obviously he's the answer. Would it be
Freddy your Mookie? Because that, to me is a great question,
is who's the top biller like Monzi?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Those two are almost equal. And then Will Smith would
be after that.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Freddie your Mookie. It's a tough one.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
No, it's not. It's not.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You don't think it's as.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I think it's Freddy.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh wow. Because of the World series and because.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
It was a fall up for MOOKI is evident and clear,
and Freddy is not falling off and he has the
walk off he has.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Who has more star power? It's it's Freddy.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
It's Freddy.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
What about the other one? I said, your your rival?
Is it Machado or Tattis Junior? See that's a good one, right,
because he's real. They're both stars.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
They're both stars.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That was yesterday, and Sam, I know you have a
Gene Simmons story, but we'll get to your phone calls
at eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox And of
course we got to talk bad promo items.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Next.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Sam?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Quickly, very quick?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
So I had a run in with Gene Simmons here
at Fox Sports Radio so we have a lobby that
can take you up to these larger floors in our building.
We're like here on the first floor, I'm getting on
the elevator. In steps Gen Simmons, who's a very tall man.
He's probably six two sixty three, big dude, and he's
with a woman and he's talking about fabrics. He leans
over to me, he like pinches my shirt and rubs it.
He's like, it's kind of like a fabric like this
(11:52):
talking to this woman. And I was just like, Gene
Simmons just pinched me andres a prop rubbed my shirt
and he just acted like your nip, no, no, just yeah,
I wish he pinches the shirt. He's like yeah, kind
of like a fabric like this, and then he just
turns to the woman keeps talking and I was like,
that's the coolest thing that's ever happened. Like he he
just completely ignored me. He was like yeah, just like
you're like a mannequin, like just rub.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
The shirt, move on. And it's also random and unexpected,
which which made my encounters And I was like, oh,
that's great. I don't know why I find that.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Sam.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Last fifteen seconds you.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Picture Sam just don't police standing great word.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I was like, and then he just just leans over
and touches my shirt and I'm like, you.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Didn't say anything back.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I was just like, it's kind of like googly eyed.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I was like, all right, we got a few phone calls,
but we can move on. Yeah, it was like a
plaid shirt or something, I don't know, a fennel or
a fennel and flannel. Flannel, man, maybe a good thing
he didn't talk to him. It's fennel, sir, I mean
the vegetable or whatever. So I also think it's hilarious
that seventy three year old got superstar rock Star rock
(12:59):
Cuy had such a hankering for ice cream that he
had to go in the middle of a Tuesday just
to get it. Celebrities, they're just like a you think
he does like ice cream? To see paints his face
like a clown. When you're a megastar like that, I
guess he's older megastar. Yeah, bro Kiss Worldwide is huge
at this stage. He's seventy three. Coffee, you don't think
(13:20):
he could go get ice cream stadiums, you know, it's
it's kind of a rare stadiums you have zero say
on the significance of Kiss. You probably just heard of
him three years ago. They are superstars worldwide. Geane had
his own reality show for a few years Wide Superstars.
I'm not saying I'm not a big I'm not a
big Kiss fan, but I'm agree that Kiss is huge.
(13:43):
But the implication that Paul Stanley can't go to Coldstone Creamery,
that being harassed like one out of fifty people would
recognize him without his makeup on as seventy three year
old guy. Yeah, the makeup did keep there and emmininity
and anonymity for so that is true. But you can't
(14:05):
downplay the madmthity of the band Kiss, whether you like
him or not. And they do tie into the stadium anthem.
I'll back yup though that Paul Stanley is a close
number two to Gene Simmons, if not a band where
everyone was needed.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I'll about your guy, are right? Yeah, just have that song?
I play occasionally a Rockin' in New York City or
back in the New York in the New York Groove.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Rocking in New York City is equally good, but but
no back in the New York Groove by Ace Freely
speaking of Kiss, that was the one where he was
the lead singer on That is what the Mets play
every time they win a game.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
There you go, who's the drummer? I don't know. I
don't know the drummer.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't think he is the Chris Peter Cris, all right,
I'll take it before it right. He could have just
made that up. I agree, no, but it is it
is Peter Cris. What movie did they highlight kiss a lot?
Was that Role Models with Paul Rudd? Yes, when they
all dressed up as All right, let's go to your
phone calls, your feedback. There's a couple of questions here.
(15:05):
When a team or a band, there's no real like
clear number one? Can you can you think of examples
of that? And uh, just the hilarity of Comino seeing
Paul Stanley getting a birthday cake explosion. It was a cookie,
don't you want? So there's one it called him to
(15:27):
tie it to sports, It's called like cake bat, I bad,
I bad a batter something like that. Yeah, that's what
he ordered, by the way, just to make the story
more fun, I have the cake batter, batter, batter, swing batter.
All right, Kate and Reno.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
What's up, Kaid, Hey, how are we doing today?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We're good man, what's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
To second guys, you know I grew up a Yankees fan,
and growing up Ale Rodriguez, I gotta say, was probably
the best player on the game. But as you guys know, Derek,
you know the top.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
That is a great example if there's a This is
how I always think about it. When your team makes
their promo picture for the upcoming season, who's the main
guy who's front and center? Like, if you're a Mets fan,
I was shocked. I mean, they spent all the money
on Sodo the front of it, the front of like
let's say a Mets montage would be Soto, then Lindor's
a little smaller, but right there Peter Lonso was like
(16:23):
a little step behind them in the montage. Like there's
a there's definitely a Dodger's montage somewhere where it's a
big show. Hey to the right and left end of
his Mookie and Freddy and.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Then will Smith the four Yeah, Danny hit it. Will
Smith is also there and.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Maybe for the Mets, Edwin Diaz because he's the closer,
Like you have your order as Camino loves to say,
back in the day, who got the T shirt? Because
they weren't printing T shirts for every player back in
the day. Think of your baseball card collection in the
they make a starting lineup of that's the way to
put it to. That's another one. Yeah, who who did
they make the toy the starting lineup for? They made
it for like two guys a team, but on your
baseball if you remember your baseball card. Speaking of the Yankees,
(16:57):
there was two for the title. Who was the are
back then? Dave winfielder Don Manning? Yeah, I think I
think Dave Winfield was also on like the Twins and
the Padres and other teams like Don Maddingly, top Bill,
you gave a good one. And I don't even have
an answer as the biggest Mets fan, you know, when
you think of that legendary eighty six Mets team, my
only moment of glory as a little schoolboy, I ask you, guys,
(17:20):
who's the biggest name, Because as a New York Mets fan,
when you think of that eighties doing drugs, acting crazy team,
is it Keith Hernandez, Darryl Doc I think dwy couldn't.
Gary car, Gary Carter at that time, Dwight couldn't had
ms on the Dwight guyscrapers in Manhattan. The craziest part, though,
is that Dwight couldn't was like the guy that showed
(17:42):
up nowhere in the postseason, like he was the best
pitcher in that moment. But look at the stats. Dwight
couldin did not have a good nineteen eighty six postseason.
So is it a Gary Carter? Do you think of
Keith Hernandez? It's a it's a fun question to your buddy.
So anything swing. You could take this in your pipe
if you have one, and smoke on it with your buddies.
(18:02):
So we'll wrap it up with your phone calls eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. You can always hit us
up at Covino and Rich Pod Sports Radio. Phrase, by
the way, should be like put that in your vapor,
smoke it or something like you could put that in
your vapor, smoke it, vape it that in your vapor, Yeah,
Robin Vegas, swit's up. Rob Hey, rob Hey.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Guys, how about rock music? How about.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Jimmy Page was.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
Just as famous.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Robert Plant.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's a good one because you know what the I'll
give you the I'll give you the test if you
don't really care much about classic rock. You know both
those names? Yeah, absolutely plus like you would name me.
Page had that pedigree from other bands. He was known
as the superstar guitar player that needed elite singer. And
then came Robert plant.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
In that same vein how about Slash.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, I Danny you dipped out. I said that, like
he's a superstar in his own right, maybe even bigger
than Axel. Right, yeah it was another supergroups, Yeah, another supergroups.
It's it's very rare that people could hold their own
like that and and still be the guy in a
band or on a team.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
How about in hip hop there are DJs who are
just as popular as the MC, dating back to Eric
being Rock Kim, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince jam
Master J from Run DMC.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, those are and again few and far between it Otherwise,
those are usually the ancillary people who are just in
the band or whatever. It's not so much an ego thing,
but it's a who is the star thing? Like you're
seeing Timberlake get a lot of crap late league is
he's not singing at his concerts. He's like holding the
mic to the crowd, but justin Timberlake was cruly.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I got this feeling inside my bomb.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I'm just gonna hand the mic to the crowd. Now
it's your job to saying, guys, but like clearly as
much as you know, no disrespect to Lance Bass and
Joey Fittona and those nice guys. But Timberlake was the star,
right right, I mean, like, but then there's ones where
I'm like, I don't know, you tell me if I
say black guyed Peas, was it all Fergie or are
you like, no, those guys without her they all I
(19:57):
guess the black Eyed Peace I think, I like Will
I Am is a star in his own right. So
I mean there's a taboo always, So we'll wrap it
with your phone calls. Thanks for hearing me out though,
And I know it sounds weird because I'm not the
biggest Kiss fan and I've never seen them live and
(20:17):
I play them every weekend on another radio show. Grew
up listening to that stuff. But it really was such
a cool experience because he was such a cool and
humble guy. Got off and do you see a big
eighties rock star at Coltstone Creek exactly whip cream on.
Its so random, so at least thanks for hearing me out.
I have ridiculous. That sounds Tony in Oregon. What's up man?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Hey, thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
I do have a band that when they're in their heyday.
Speaker 7 (20:42):
They were all number ones.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
But first it regardless to Paul Stanley the burning question
in regards to the ice cream, did you ask did
he lick it up? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Bro, till Thursday.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I did play it off so cool, MONSI you'll appreciate this.
I I go to my daughter afterward, I'm like, you
know that was She's like, oh, dad, friend from I
thought that was like one of your old pals or something.
I'm like, hey, show down, I'm not that old, but
your old classmate dad, just to prove I did and
fanboy out. She thought it was just some guy I
knew because we were throwing it up for a good
(21:18):
like seven minutes or so.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You know it could be your dad.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah he could. Yeah, he couldn't even three d he's
older than my dad. But he looked fantastic. He really did,
so I give him props for that. And he did
seem to know everything about Fox Sports Radio right here
in town, right down the street. Like he was aware
of what we did. So I told him that I'd
be calling him out that lick it up joke. It's great, great,
Tony said. He had an example to Tony. You're still there, buddy,
(21:42):
We're still there. Yeah, what's up? Oh okay? So yeah,
back in their day, man, the Eagles like they were
all number.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
One, you know, uh from him and Don Joe, Glenn
a number one.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
That's a good that's that's a great one. Yeah. That
is because you need Don Henley, you need Glenn Fry,
you need all those dudes. The dude that's saying, I
can't tell you why I have another one for you.
I can't tell you. Let's go back yesterday. We talked
about how Scottie Scheffler would give up a title for
the Cowboys to win a Super Bowl. When you think
(22:13):
of those nineties Cowboys teams, there last moments of glory.
No disrespect to Troy Aikman, you know the White jay Z. Yeah,
no disrespect to Troy Aikman. That was it was Emitt Smith,
it was Michael Irvin, it was the defense, offensive line.
Troy Aikman, that's a crazy quarterback. But we should have
been the main star. But he really was like saying
with Terry Bradshaw, good quarterback, but it was that steel
(22:34):
curtain defense. So when you say Cowboys in the nineties,
is it Emmett or do you think the trifecta of Emmett, Irving,
Michael Irvin, and Troy I would say, if we're going
to pick a headliner, it's Emmett, Emmett, Right, Yeah, it's
Emma Smith, which is rare because it's usually the quarterback.
Same with again, it's usually the lead singer that's the
biggest star. But not all the time, not all the time,
(22:56):
but most of the time. We'll get to the rest
of your phone calls. Phones are all lit up this
so it all right. So we'll go through all this
and then now that we're in the football type of mood,
because tomorrow is the official unofficial I guess official kickoff
of the NFL season, your first preseason game, not a Thursday.
We'll go by until February of twenty twenty six without
(23:17):
football on a Thursday. With that said, we're gonna go
over the NFL on Fox Power rankings. Cavino and I
have not looked at these Danny G wants to see
how accurate we are compared to what the experts are saying.
So we'll go over some NFL power rankings. We'll do
some games, give away some prizes, a lot of fun
coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio. It really
(23:44):
was a great joke. Wish I thought of it live
from the Fox Sports Radio studio Covino and Rich. If
you miss any of today's show, you want to catch
the podcast. Search Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcasts,
and right after the show every day the best of
goes up, puts up our podcast. You gotta rate it
five stars because anything less is uncivilized. Search Coveno and
(24:06):
Rich who we appreciate it, and it's being a Coveno
and Rich. We're gonna be filling in for the Herd tomorrow.
You heard in for the Herd on Thursday and Friday,
so again, if it messes with your schedule, catch it
on the podcast. I'm Steve Covino, that is Rich, Rich Davis, Iowa,
Sam Danny G. Monzi's here spots on the videos at
(24:28):
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. You know, I'm
pretty pumped about this Mets trade. I know it's a
little piece, but it just shows that Mets are trying
to win. Now, Monsei, you and Danny g may be
more familiar with this guy because you're NL West fans.
Tyler Rogers of the Giants at Submarine Sidearm Pitcher the
Mets face in the other day. He's hard to hit
(24:50):
his erasing the one. So the Mets gave up some
notable prospects and Anti Price. What was the update on
Solo though? The he's uh, the icing his toe. I
don't know, making a seat.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I didn't see if he was.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I know we've found the ball off his foot, off
his leg and he was hobbling around. Yeah, so congrats,
moves are being made. Tomorrow is the deadline, and that'll
give us more to talk about on the Herd tomorrow,
all the moves, the last minute moves, Austin Slater to
the Yanks, Rich's new pitcher, you'll hear more from He's
not in the lineup today, so I'm guessing day to day,
(25:26):
but you will start to see that over the next jeez.
We have exactly twenty four and a half hours because
the trade deadline ends I believe tomorrow at six pm. Eastern,
So your team has roughly twenty four hours right now
to make that move you want them to make. And again,
for some teams, it's really just getting that one extra
(25:48):
lefty right out of the bullpen that they feel they need.
I don't think in today's day and age, our buddy
Dan Byer said it the other day where everyone sort
of feels like they're not that far away because of
the third wildcard. I don't think you're seeing a lot
of teams make big, big moves. But there's not gonna
be a big, big move. I don't think we'll see
and we'll talk about it manyana right right now, we'll
(26:09):
wrap up with your phone calls at a seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. When it's hard to figure out
who's the top biller of the band, of the team, yeah,
because sometimes they share equal building. Right, you can't say
that Paul McCartney was a bigger star than John Lennon.
There was equal billing. They were all stars. It's in
(26:29):
their own right, n w A. Who is the bigger star?
Ice Cube, Easy E Doctor Dre. We're gonna say ice
Cube because Easy passed away. But at that time, at
that time, it was easy e right, but you could
make a you could make a debate out of it.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
At the very beginning, Easy was the bigger solo artist
until ice Cube went off on his own.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
But they were all big stars. I ran into Paul
Stanley getting ice cream yesterday, and we're saying he's equally
as big of a star as Gene Simmons. If not,
but who else comes to mind? You know you should
have done You should have quickly used some whipped cream
and fudge to make your own kiss face on yourself.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Run for the hills.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, that wouldn't have been weird. And by the way,
he did, uh, just for the sake of conversation order
he ordered ter Reese's Peanut butter awesome sauce. That's great. Yeah,
it does say how did Dan in Kansas City?
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Dan? Hey?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (27:25):
You know, uh, I got one sports and one music.
I don't want to be like I will Sam and
take everybody.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You got a reputation.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Mahomes and Kelsey just because Kelsey and Taylor Swift, that's
a great one.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
You saw whether they like each other. When's the last
time you saw Joe Perry and Steven Tyler apart?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Those are great examples, Man, those are your examples of
the other members are super famous. Yeah, Rolling Stones another example,
Keith Richards is a super famous guitar player. Mick Jagger
obviously is the star, but they all hold their own weight.
Thank you, Dan, appreciate you. I wonder and don't worry,
(28:10):
You're not gonna have to sit through this exercise. But
I wonder if we wrote down all thirty two NFL
teams and did a name the most famous big star
on this team, how many of the thirty two teams
would all six of us in this studio met match.
You know that's funny. There was I bet you twenty
twenty five, maybe maybe less. Aaron Judge is the captain
and he's the big star, but he admitted it recently,
(28:32):
which was sort of weird for him to say. Did
you see that. He's like, yeah, I'm I'm the guy.
He's like, I'm the guy. Which is interesting because John
Carlos Stanton is also on that team. Garrett Coles on
that Stanton is unk. Now, Yeah, Jazz Chisholm's not there,
and but it's wild to see. We all know he's
the top biller, but he admitted he's like he's the
(28:53):
guy because.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
He's not like that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, that's not like Yeah, So let's wrap it up
with Orlando. Who do we got there? Hey, Shelle, you're
on the Covino and Rich Show. And then we got
Manzi's update.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Hey what's going on?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Hey, I'm a child of the eighties, actually raised in the nineties.
But I can't believe that someone hasn't been said yet.
But tell me a time in history when the bassis
has taken Top Building over the lead singer Red Hot
Chili Peppers to Flee over Anthony Ketis.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
That's a great example. These players are free. That is
a fantastic answer, because well, I love the Chili Peppers.
Anthony keatas legend flee was in Back to the Future too.
Flea's done acting. We all know, just such a dynamic
bass player. Yeah, you know what. The other example, not
as cool, Shelle, would be Pete Wentz, a fallout boy
because he dated Ashley Simpson in the two thousands and
(29:40):
he's sort of a notable guy. I don't think any
I bet you people don't even realize Patrick Stump is
the main due Paul McCartney was a bass player. Just
for the record, but hey, that's a great one. Thanks
for Sharon. We'll take the rest of your answer the
base slapping the base man. We'll take the rest of
your answers at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Out to Paul Stanley and now shout out to the
(30:03):
one the only month se guys.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Happy to be hanging out. Yes.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Trade deadline for baseball tomorrow, Thursday, sixth Eastern. So the
moves that have happened today, in case you've missed them.
The Reds have traded for gold Glove third baseman Key
Brian Hayes from the Pirates. The Mariners have also traded
four left handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Pirates.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
The Pirates are just like take everybody but Paul Skeins.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
Mets have acquired right handed pitcher Tyler Rogers from the Giants,
and the Giants have acquired White Sox outfielder Austin Slater
to help. While you know, Aaron Judge is on the
il bravestar Ronald Acunya Junior has a Grade one cap strain.
He could return in two to three weeks. Not sure
if he will since the Braves are pretty much out
of the running. We'll go to baseball right now. Pirates
and Giants tied at one apiece. Top of the eighth,
(30:49):
Padres shutting out the Mets four zero, bottom of the fifth.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Tigers have won four in a row.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
They topped the Diamondback seven to two, while the Blue
Jays snapped their four game losing streak with a nine
to eight win over the Orioles. In the NFL, Isaiah,
likely titan for the Ravens, is going to undergo surgery
to repair a broken bone in his foot. He's expected
to miss six weeks, but he could be ready for
Week one. Bengals have released veteran running back Zach Moss
after one season in the NBA. Former NBA star Gilbert
(31:15):
Arenas and five other defendants were arrested today on a
federal indictment alleging they operated an illegal gambling business in
which high stakes poker games were played at an Encino
mansion that Arenas owned. I would have absolutely gone to
that if had I had I been invited. Lastly, here
in the non sports world, the canned cocktail maker high
(31:35):
Noon is warning customers that some of their vodka Seltzers
were accidentally labeled as Celsius energy drinks.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Good luck on the lookout, yep, for.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Real, I'm a big fan of the Strawberry High noons
we get both. Actually, yeah, I get a Celsius every
once in a while.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Good luck with that.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Am so tired? Or his dots would say, surprise of
them exactly, so funny.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Se have you get an energy drink but you start
feeling a little too.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Loose, Maybe Vodas or the tequila is better. The tequila
ones are pretty good. That's the instead of blue, it's
like green.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Yeah, I'm not going to drink that.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
No know why Brenda was picking up trash at the
beach yesterday?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Thank you monte. And by the way, Rich, does you
know Cabrian Hayes who's now a Red I guess according
to your updates from the Pirates. That's Charlie Hayes's son
from the Yankees nineteen ninety six, last out Charlie Hays. Yeah,
that's his son and the Yankees who are showing interest
for a while. But he's a he's a top player,
(32:40):
so props to him. Now listen, coming up, we're there
a day away from the first preseason game of the NFL,
which is wild when you think about it. We're there already,
can't wait. We're gonna go over what Fox TV NFL
on Fox says the top teams are. We'll see if
we agree with their power rankings, and we'll talk a
(33:02):
little faces of the big teams as well. You know what,
now that I thought about it, I do want to
pick a couple teams and say we agree on who
is the face of the franchise. We'll do that next
right here, Cavino Rich shout out to mercerman in Pittsburgh.
Rich speaking of the Pirates, Yeah, he said, you gotta
(33:23):
give Tom Morello props too, because he wasn't the lead
in Rage Against Machine or Audio say, but is his
own superstar and his own right, it's a great one.
It's usually the lead singer that gets all the accolades,
all the props, talking top billing today, sometimes it's hard
to figure out who the superstar is. Is it Covino
or Rich? Oh Man? You know, we are a rare
(33:47):
show in that I don't think people think there's a
lead and there really isn't. Like we know what's at
other duo shows, there's usually like here, Fox, what's ready.
I heard a phrase like someone's like in the driver's
seat or the main seat. Is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Like like that night like Jason Smith and Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, with Mike Harmon. This show used to be the
Covino Show with Rich and then Rich got promoted.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, I know, now it's Coveno and then then it
was the Rich David Show with Guillermo. I mean Cavino. No,
you know what. It's true though. We are a rarity,
and it's been told to us from management and upper
management of It's rare when a show is split down
the middle like a pair of butt cheeks, fifty fifty couples,
depending on Yeah, because we're a couple of asses, depending
(34:34):
on the discussion. It doesn't matter. But baseball teams, football teams, Yeah,
basketball team. Sometimes it's hard to figure out who the
top star is. And we're gonna wrap it up with
Rich's thought, but first to play the day, Yeah, let's
do this. We are live from the Fox Sports Radio
studio and Cal Rowley wasn't having a season. He's having
People might be talking about this catcher, your dude, Will.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Smith and on the pitch to Walie Swings, he drills
up to left field. SPO's gonna head back and bounce
off the track and off the wall.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
I'm in a round.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Second, he's on his way to third. He's being waved home.
The cutoff is dropped, head first, slide safe, and Will
Smith the liver is with two outs shot. He gets
the go ahead run in and the Dodgers lead at
five to four.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Five to four, The Dodgers win. This courtesy of AM
five to seventy Dodgers Audio Network, and that was our
Tire ract Play of the Day. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com the way tire
(35:39):
buying should be. You know, interestingly enough, I think when
you listen to radio shows and podcasts, not even on
this network, you're right there is someone that usually like
starts every segment or reads the commercial. We might be
the only show that doesn't have that system. I'm not
saying it's always ego, but it's usually ego. Right in
what makes Covenie and Rich lasts so long as you
(36:02):
try to put that aside, and it's just, you know,
depending on who's more passionate about that discussion as usually
who's leading it, but otherwise it's always a back and forth.
But I ran into Paul Stanley of Kiss yesterday and
I said, oh, that makes you better than me, though
I said that Kiss is Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley,
but collectively it was all of the characters that made
(36:23):
the band. But he was equally, if not more, of
the star of Kiss. Well to prove that point, which
is interesting, usually the lead singer is the star. In
the NFL, it's the quarterback. And I said, I wasn't
gonna do this, but I couldn't resist. God damn it. Again.
I went to the AFC. The sixteen teams in the AFC,
in my mind, eleven of the sixteen teams, the quarterback
(36:44):
is the face. And I think five of the teams
in the AFC the quarterback is not the face. Oh wow,
so that we're not playing big guessing games. Let's go
through each division real quick and see if you agree. Okay,
and then we'll do power rankings next time. Well, we'll
talk about your NFL have some fun AFC East Buffalo
Josh Allen. Josh Allen, I think Miami is one of
the exceptions. I think Tyreek Hill would be the number
(37:06):
one guy on that team as far as like notability,
people know him. I don't think it's too.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
It could even be Mike McDaniels.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
The coach sometimes because I feel the same about Denver.
So that's I think Miami one of the teams. So
I think Tyreek would be your guy. I think because
there's not many stars of the team, Drake May and
New England because I don't know if you could even
name like the average person will be on who's on
New England and the Jets. I think Sauce Gardner because
Justin Field is new and Sauce is a character, right,
So so I think two of them are in the
(37:35):
AFC East. Then you go to the North Cincinnati Burrough, Pittsburgh,
Aaron Rodgers, Baltimore Lamar. I think Miles Garrett and Cleveland
because they don't know what's going on with the quarterbacks.
So I think right now Cleveland fans will be like
Miles Garrett, Miles Garretts are our guy. So that makes
three third team? Yeah, are we all in agreement so far. Yeah,
(37:56):
let's go south. I think three more quarterbacks Tennessee cam
Ward because that they have a lot of high hopes.
Jacksonville still Trevor Lawrence and Houston C. J. Stroud. I
think Indianapolis Jonathan Taylor because I think you're like Richardson
Daniel Jones. It's Jonathan Telly your running back right now.
That's you. That's your fourth. And I think in the AFC,
(38:19):
West Mahomes Herbert and bo Nix with the asterisks of
Sean Payton being you know, the star. I think right now,
Max Crosby for the Raiders is the fifth. In the AFC,
I think I think I nailed this. By the way,
I think team face of the team eleven of the
sixteen AFC teams. So this happens, but it's the lead singer. Yeah,
(38:42):
it's the lead singer thing. It's the Raiders would be
an example of the bass players the main guy.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, although now I think they'll split the screen a
little bit with Geno Smith.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, that's if Gino plays well. I think you're right,
but as a right because I thought Brock Bowers naw,
he's a tight end that needs a quarterback. You know,
like so the AFC, you're looking at two out of three,
you know, eleven of the sixteen and our quarterbacks because
that's who. And if if the face of your team
isn't the quarterback, there's a likely chance you're you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
For your Niners. Would it be McCaffrey or your boy party.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Maybe we'll get to the NFC later, Danny. Yeah, the
theme of the show the NFC, And of course we're
gonna go over some of the power rankings in the
NFL and cave. You know, we also have Mike's Wednesday
Words of Wisdom, Midweek Major, It's National Wing Day and
Tommy Nike Wingy. So there's lots to get to by
speaking of the NFL power rankings. Will do that next.
Can't wait. If you ever want to chime in or
