birthday weekend. I want to thank everybody for the birthday wishes.
In fact, all I want for my birthday is for
you to check out that YouTube channel A right and

our stupid faces and hate on us every day. That's fine.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Punch screen, Yeah, punch your screen, make fun of us.
Drow mustaches on us. I don't care moon us. I
do whatever you want. Now, had a great weekend. I
was in Disney, and we're gonna talk about Disney freaks,
and I think Disney sort of ties into this discussion. Yeah,
Wan solo, they're calling him Wan Soto has twenty eight

(02:27):
home runs. That's great and grand and all, but twenty
two of them are solo shots. That's a lot. That's
too many to be a coincident dance. Yeah, that's it's
it's a bummer because Wan Soda is a type of
guy you're counting out to come through in those big
clutch moments because he has historically been that guy. This year,

(02:48):
with runners in scoring position, the guy might as well
be betting zero point zero. But hey, when no one's
up and the Mets are down five runs, he's good
for a solo shot, right, and then numbers prove it.
So based on that, I was thinking about the best
and worst solo missions, because some things you could pull
off solo. Other things just make you look like a weirdo.

(03:10):
Now I got one to get it going, and we'll
take your phone calls. At eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, Covino and rich In for Dan Patrick. We're
here tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday. Now, you would think you
would think that going clothes shopping with your significant other
is a plus or a positive because you can get

(03:31):
a second opinion. Hey, what do you think of these?
Sweet Travis Matthew Jean's Hey, what do you think of it?
A sweet shirt? Right? I think your girlfriend or wife
he only confuses you and makes it worse and you
end up getting nothing. Man, I didn't get anything. I
find that I'm more productive when I'm by myself. I'm there,

(03:51):
I'm on a mission. I like it, I buy it.
I walk away with a whole bunch of stuff. She
may hate it when I get home, But I was
productive and I got all that stuff. And I know
with someone else I get nothing done. I mean, I'm
thinking bigger scale and small scale, Like to me get
that last sip of coffee? Yeah, thank you. I hate
when people shy away. I do a effect. You know

(04:12):
we're on in the morning. I'm offending when people shy
away from the last sip, like they're offending people. Like
if I have a milkshake or an ice an ice drink,
I will slurp that last sip, So.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Go on, come on, make that coffee to go.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Let's go, Hey, come on. You know one time I
was on a date, Danny J.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Sam.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I was on a date, and you know when you
have like a little bit of your drink left, but
like significant it's there right there. Waiter came and took
my like last sippy sip of my cocktail, and I said, hey,
I wasn't finished. And you think about it, if you
paid for that, you're going to a nice restaurant and
you get like some if you get like a drink

(04:46):
that's called like the whiskey business or something, or some
eighteen dollars yeah, dollar drink, eighteen dollars cocktail at Hobbyer's right,
and he took my drink. I was even finished, So
I said, hey, ninety four dollars a ninety four dollars drink.
As I give that back. The girl I was with
didn't know me that well. She like squeezed my leg
and like bitter lips. This this mean cholack girl. She's like,

(05:08):
you ever do that again. She's like I'm gonna sleech
your neck or something. She's like, don't you embarrass me
like that? Okay, shit, She's like, you embarrassed me. I'm like,
embarrassed you. The guy took my drink. She's like that
was embarrassing. I was like, they can pay for your
own meal. The day was pretty much over after that
twenty dollars drink. You're like, that was a four dollars
cent that being said, let me finish my coffee anyway.

(05:31):
So I gave you a good one, Rach, let me
give you a bad one. I just came back from Disney,
and I think if you're going on rides by yourself, Like,
if you're the lonely guy on the teacups by yourself,
you're a loser. I'm sorry. You might have your reasoning
or your excuse or maybe like there was no room
for you in the other teacup. But if I see
one lonely dude spinning around by himself, I'm thinking, what

(05:54):
sort of weirdo is that? Single Rider? You know there's
a new dating app by the way, I'm sorry, I'm
to be all over the place, but there's an actual
dating app, I believe, called single Rider, where you can
meet other singles at a theme park. But I've been
going to a theme park by yourself a lame solo mission.
I'll give you a good one, though, a simple good one.

(06:16):
I'm not going to the supermarket by myself because I
feel like my wife buys stuff we don't need and
it takes forever and my kids getting the way stereotype
and be sexist rich because I'm not. That's you. But
women love to go down every aisle. It's like, that's
not how this works. Just get what you need. I
go to Costco, my girlfriend's vice, eat and out like

(06:38):
like we're going in every like a little maze. It's
like we got I think we need a battery generator.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Of what my girl window shops down each aisle.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm with you, you're productive.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
When we're wealthy, we're going to get two of those.
No thanks, let's get with you.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's a good solo mission. I think. I think a
weird solo mission would be going somewhere like bowling or
mini golf or something like that. I mean the lonely bowler.
Watch out for that guy, uh Dan in Michigan. What's
up man? We'll start with you solo missions, which are
good ones, which are bad ones?

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Hey, guys, you tell me if this is weird or
not right? Around this time of year. I absolutely love
getting out on the golf course early in the morning
when I have the course to myself, put my AirPods
in and walk nine to eighteen holes, just kind of
do my thing by myself.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
You know, I don't mind it. I don't. I don't
mind that at all. You know what I did once,
I feel like it's just you being active and productive.
Judge me on this one or not. It was around September,
so about them around this time of year. Back in
the day, the Mets were in a Pennant race and
it was one of those final weekends of the year,

(07:54):
and none of my Mets buddies were available. I went
to a ballgame by myself. How was it?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Weird?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Lonely? High filf that's lost, so it's even worse. But like,
is that a weird one? Is that? Is that a
lonely one?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Like?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
No, I think those are things you want to share
with buddies. What about like a super Bowl where a
super fan's like, I can't afford it, but there's a
solo ticket that's affordable, like because it's one you know,
like you go to a can you go to a
concert by yourself? Or is that weird?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
You know?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I feel Here's how I feel about that. I feel like,
if you can't find something to go with, like you
were so determined to go, you're such a fan that
you went regardless friends. I almost yeah, and you can
make friends. I actually give you credit for that. I
don't recommend it, but I it's like going to vacation
by yourself. It's like, yeah, you had no one to
go with, but I commend you for still going and

(08:43):
doing something traveling. Maybe eat if it feels weird, even
if it's okay, because if you're watching something like a
game or a concert or a movie or something. I
was in New York City recently by myself for like
a quick turnover a day. I didn't have time to
call any of my family friends like meet me in
the city, but I did have a chunk of time
to kill. I went to go see Back to the
Future on Broadway by myself, And that is that weird?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Is that weird?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I mean, but I understand. I mean the New York
Jets on Hard Knocks sold me. It's more understandable than
like a guy at a theme park by himself. I'm like,
what's going on with that guy. I've won this one
lame question because it's it's smut based. I mentioned it before,
kind of question when you're like a younger man. Let's

(09:28):
say you go to an adult establishment when you were
with your buddies and it's like a bachelor party. You
are like, hey, John's birthday. I feel like it seems
more innocent. If you go to a strip club by yourself,
it seems like it goes from innocent camaraderie to what
a creeper? You know, I think I've done that, And
looking back, I'll say, yeah, what a creep I think

(09:49):
I did because you're horned up, like twenty something year
old guy just excited because the guy in the corner
with in the shadows with the male gaze. Yeah, because
it's you. You're like, what, I'm not a weird guy.
You justify it like I'm a good guy. But it
was drooling and staring ahead. But in retrospect, it is weird.
If we were younger men, it was like, Hey, it's

(10:10):
Spot's birthday, or I was Sam's birthday. We're going out
for dinner, We're gonna go to the strip club. That's
like you're quintessential twenty eighth. Okay, some of your own
guy birthday social yourself. If you're walking through Chicago or
DC or Miami or New York and you're like, I'm
by myself. You go into the strip club, I feel
like you are. It's like you're, yeah, you're you're really

(10:34):
being controlled in that moment by what's on your pants
in like the most God, I'm not one of those
guys that that feels really cool getting a lap dance
or something in front of all my buds cheering me on.
I think that's weird too. I hate that.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh, it's like more of a private moment.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, you need Sam looking at me and laughing while
you know the dance is going on. I remember one
time one time, you know, and I were with some
old school buddies. This is back in the day. We've
known each other decades. I remember sometimes you don't want
to see your buddy's freak face. I remember one time
we were at we were at one of these places

(11:12):
and we saw one of our buddies getting an adult
dance so hypnotized, and we both looked at him, like,
look at the look in his eyes, like I don't
ever want to see that demon guy what's going on.
I can only imagine in that moment he probably sounded
like a little mickey.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Let me take it to sports for a second. Yeah,
have you either of you gone to a baseball, football,
or basketball game by yourself?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I mentioned before I went to I went to I
went to a Mets game solo. I think here's a
good one, Danny, let's say business. I haven't, but I
could see that, Danny, like, you know you're there and
like no one wants to go with your splurge on
a home game.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, home game. You feel like forty friends are there
with you.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yes. I think when it is that type of scenario,
you are surrounded by people. You can make friends very
quick at a ball game. And I think the perfect
scenario would be. Let's just say you are a guy
or woman that travels for work and they're like, yeah,
you gotta go to your annual sales conference in Atlanta
for four days, and you're like, you know what, I'm

(12:16):
gonna go catch your braves game. I'm here for four days.
I got nothing. Doing like that to me sounds like productive. Yeah,
at least there's something more understandable about that, even though
it's a weird feeling. So based on Jan Solo, I
mean sodos twenty two of twenty home runs being solo bombs.
What are the best and WS solo missions? Let's go

(12:37):
to the phones eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
And of course you could always hit us up at
Covino Enrich at Fox Sports Radio. Hello Johnny in Minnesota,
Hey Johnny.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Guys? Rich Covino, Hey, g what's upbody?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (12:52):
The solo mission I got first is a Kevinc Gartnet.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
He did that for my Timberwolves for a very.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Long time and we couldn't help him all.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
For some reason.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
And the other one that we were just talking about was, oh,
there I go again.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Was he saying that he won basically by himself like
Madison Bumgarner or something. Hold on, I wouldn't know why
he just said, oh crap, there I go again. I
think he had an accident in his pants. I mean,
like I gotta go.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I don't think he got the context of the topic.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's like, I like how he spun that though, with
Kevin Garnett, just by himself trying to do it all.
I love that guy, and I love that you feel
like the Giants sort of won the World Series just
with Bumgarner, like I knew he was what he meant
by that, and then I think they said, he look
gonna spin this into another direction. But Giants had some
other guys too, they had deep pitching up. But I

(13:51):
just I was that that was hilarious just in general.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Remember when Kobe brought the Lakers to the playoffs basically
by himself.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know what I'm gonna do every time, every time
team game, Guys, every time I feel like I'm trying
to make a point and I lose it, I'm gonna go, oh, man,
I did it again. I said, Oh, crap, crap, I
might pull that.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
That's an audio drop. I need that crap.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
By the way, guys, we have just to borrow from
the parlance of Disney. We have f SR cast and
crew members who will go to disney Land by themselves
and just peruse around, and they do this routinely. By yourself.
If you're not with me, I think you're a weirdo.
I'm sorry. You might not be a weirdo, but you're
perceived as a weirdo for sure. It's weird. It's weird.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Oh that's coming up later on the show.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, we'll talk about Disney adults later on, because again
I'm fresh from Disney. I'm gonna tell you the best
rides in order to Let's go to John and Reno.
Oh man, I did it again. I'll crap's John?

Speaker 3 (14:50):
What's up? Guys?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Hey, how about for a solo mission?

Speaker 6 (14:56):
How about just taking care of yourself? Old Lady's gone.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's it's it's funny. We jokingly said that off the air.
I wasn't gonna say that out of the air, but uh,
I would say, that's a good solo mission. No one
wants to see that. I would say, it's only a
solo miss unless you're Louis c k or a kicker.
Yeah yeah, and then yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. Or
a Browns quarter or a Brown's quarterback. John and Maine,
what's up, Bud?

Speaker 6 (15:20):
Hey, guys, how are you doing?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
What's up? Brother?

Speaker 6 (15:23):
I was gonna call for about the Brewers, but instead
I got a solo mission. My wife and I were
in Boden, Boden. I was with the army in Germany.
We went to the casino there and it's suit and tie,
shirt and tie, and I was in dressed blues, and
I left her alone at the bar for a second

(15:45):
and I went to the bathroom and I came back
and uh, here's some Italian guy. My wife was dressed
to the nines in her gown and he thought she
was his date for the night, if you know what
I mean. And he was hitting on her and she
didn't understand the word he was saying. I came up

(16:06):
behind him in my uniform. He turned around, his eyes
got about as wide as to be, and he was like,
oh crap.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
John, when you said when you said solo mission, I
think we're gonna say. And my wife left with that guy,
and I was solo not the case. And again, of
course there's certain things that are just they're normal when
they're solo missions. It's just how it is getting a haircut.
You don't need someone holding your hand. You're rolling there

(16:36):
by yourself. Going to the gym, I don't need a spotter.
In fact, you're in my way. I just want to
get in and out. You know, certain things are are
are just always solo missions. Other ones just feel weird.
Like I said, going to a movie, even though Rich
says it's good, I think it's a little weird. If
it's a kid's movie, you're weirdo. You can't. Hey, I

(16:57):
went to see you How to Train a Dragon by
your elf, you're weirdo you are with a kid, yo, bro,
somebody keep an eye on that barrow and niece or
nephew or something. I borrow a kid. Yeah, exactly. I'm
sure as a kid in your family that's real excited
to see the movie, take them. I think a movie's

(17:18):
fun if it's like, for instance, I really You might say,
wait for v h VHS, Oh my god, what it
is in nineteen ninety Wait for streaming. That's probably what
most would say. But I think I really want to
go see Naked Gun. I haven't seen it yet. I
was gonna go see it by myself this weekend, and
I didn't speaking around to it. But why by yourself?

(17:40):
Well because everyone else here has already seen it, like
my buddy, Okay, Well, then let's go. I'm game anytime
you want. I'm busy. No, seriously, I was, I asked.
I asked our Palita lap who produces Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe, and he sees it like the
second comes out these movies. So everyone's seen it. They said,
it's great. Keet gone to see that, you know, Sam,

(18:02):
go by yourself. No shame in that. I went to
my first movie alone, probably about a year or two ago,
to see like a movie from the nineteen seventies that
was on the big screen. I couldn't find anybody go
with me, so I just went there and sat by myself.
I loved it. I had a great time. Everyone there
was to geek out over the movie, so it was
just like it was. Yeah. And by the way, so
certain things you don't need people to hold your hand.

(18:23):
A lonely sandwich once in a while is good for
the soul. You know, you gotta be comfortable with yourself.
You need for one, you don't need company all the time.
But there are certain things that are weird when you're
just by yourself, you know, i'd sandwich for one. I
think some of these places Danny or for one, are
good for actually meeting people and like minded people. Like

(18:44):
let's say you're someone that's into quote like nerd culture.
You might find your queen nerd if you went to
like comic com by yourself, or you might say that's
that's ridiculous. But if there's like a niche of something
you're way into. Let's say you're into like you can
go as Wan solo. I'm sorry, you can go as
Han solo and find your princess life. Strike up a
little conversation in the line for popcorn. You know, you

(19:06):
find your lady. I don't think it's hello, my lady, lady.
Your thoughts at Covin and Ritu will move along from
Juan solo as he is hitting all his home runs
when it does not matter at all. But hey, today's
a new day. You know what I find to be
a good personal solo mission, like cleaning up because when wife,
he or the girlfriend's around, I'm like sort of waiting

(19:28):
for them to put the dishes away or something like.
I don't know, it's just like a standoff, and I'm
more content with just laying there scratching my thighs on
the couch. But when I'm buying myself at the house,
that's what I'm like, the most productive, get stuff done,
the house is clean. I like that feeling. So as

(19:49):
far as cleaning up, that's always a solo mission for me,
all right, Wan Soda. Hopefully tomorrow he starts doing something
with people on base We are seventy five percent through
the baseball season, which is insane. So getting ready for
baseball playoffs and more importantly, getting ready for the start

(20:11):
the kickoff of the NFL season twenty five days away now, Danny,
Every year, I purposely don't look because I want to
be surprised and I want to have a good laugh
with you guys USA today. You know the old newspaper
see they put on your doorstep of the at the
holiday and express who what the old newspaper USA today?

(20:32):
Guys they do that pocket they leave it at the hotel.
I can only imagine where else. I think I haven't
seen it. You and I travel all the time. I
haven't seen it in a minute. So they do their
annual football predictions and they're usually a little wild, like
they'll come up with some crazy predictions. And I said
that because last year, notably, they said the Jets and
Aaron Rodgers would win the Super Bowl. That's just stupid. Well,

(20:54):
I mean it wasn't was it that crazy last year?
Maybe it was a little we'll go over this year
is list, and well, I we'll make some of our
own fun predictions and see where we're at next, right,
here Covin and rich In for the Great Dan Patrick

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

Yeah, as everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award
winning Polly and Toni Foosco Show.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:25):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. What what are you doing?
Were interrupting our promo?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
Oh yeah, Well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fusco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yee.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
By the way, Iowa Sam is playing White Snake. Here
I go again, like a drifter. I was born to
walk alone, like a rebel alone or Dottie.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh crap, there I go again, and we were just.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Wrapping up solo missions. But do you know, oh crap,
the original lyric to this song. Here's a little fun
fact before we give us, before Danny g gives us
the USA Today, twenty twenty five, NFL Projections Covino and
rich In for Dan Patrick. The original lyric was, like
a hobo, I was born to walk alone. I swear

(22:31):
to God that's true if he does the original cut
of that song. And they changed it because they thought
drifter was a little nicer than hobo.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
It's just hobob like a hobo. I was born to
walk alone like a hobo. That was just a stupid
sounding hobo. I'm so glad they made that change. Who's
your favorite hobo? Hobo Williams? Remember the guy, the hobo
with the golden voice. You know his name was Ted Williams,
wasn't it. Yeah that's right, not not the baseball player,

(22:59):
the hobo. And you know you had viral like ten
years ago. He stood by an exit ramp of a
highway and they not do like craft Macaroni cheese commercials.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
And you know you love it at the golden voice,
you know you love it like a hobo.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
He was born to.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
All right, Danny g every year USA Today throws us
for a loop. No, USA, I don't know if they're
gonna throw us for a loop this year. Because I
didn't peak at this, I was like, I want to
be surprised. So Danny take it away, buddy. What what
do we got?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
All right, let's start in the AFC South, of course,
the Colts, Titans, Jags, Texans. Where do you think they
went with their predictions?

Speaker 2 (23:38):
What do I think the USA Today went with the South?
I think the obvious thing would be to say, well,
likely the Texans. They're not a super Bowl team, but
they will win that division. So I feel like USA
Today is, are we going to say they're going Texans
Cove or what? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Good call. They have them winning the division at ten
and seven.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah that I was gonna say, like a and everyone
else in that division moderately maybe under five hundred.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, exactly, under five hundred for the Jags, eight and nine,
Titans they have at five and twelve, Colts rounding out
the division at four and thirteen.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
So they think just by default that Houston's the only
winning team in that division. Okay, so so far, no surprises,
no surprises.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
So far, We'll go to the AFC East. Got the Dolphins, Jets, Pats, Bills.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Easy breezy bills, Easy breezy summer girl. I think I
think they probably got the Bills at the twelve and
five or thirteen and four.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yep, they have Wow, your money really thirteen and four
and they's so.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Money he doesn't even know it. Yeah, kids today don't
know how much we overuse that reference in the nineties
and two thousand, that's the most dated reference. There's so
money that you don't even know. I just took the
whole Fox Sports Radio Nation back to nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
But who are they predicting to come in second place
in the AFS?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
All right, hold on, good one, they're they're they're they're
being all sexy with their patriots to really turn things around.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I bet oh uh, well, at least enough to be
in second place at eight and nine. Okay, but so far,
you're right on.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
So they have no faith in Justin Field, huh.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
And they have the Jets at seven and ten and
the Dolphins at five and twelve.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Seven and so they had the Jets winning it all
last year to seven and ten this year. Okay, we're
going again USA Today projections.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
All right, now we'll move to the AFC West. All right,
So what do you guys think? Raiders, Chargers, Chiefs, Broncos.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
They're USA Today. They're gonna be a little crazy, essay.
I think so too. I think this is where they're
trying to get controversial, like most lists are made with
Denver winning it all. Oh no, no, I think they
think harbad? Does it like? I feel like they're going
against I think they're going against the Chiefs for fun.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Score one for Covino. Here they have the Broncos winning
the division at twelve and five. They did they have
the Chargers or Casey with a winning record. They have
the Raiders at eleven insigt im kidding, they have the
in my wildest dreams, they have the Chiefs at eleven
and six.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Okay, and then who do you're? How high? Everyone's talking
on bone Nicks.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
So I guess in between the Chargers and Raiders, how
do you think they round out the AFC West.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
They probably have the Charges like nine and eight, had.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Nine and eight exactly for the Chargers. They say the
Raiders win five games, five and twelve, So hope that's wrong,
all right, AFC North got the Browns, Bengals, Steelers, Ravens.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
See, this is the tough one because no one expert
or total amateur, this is other than Cleveland being in
last place. I think I think they're gonna go Cincinnati.
I bet Cincinnati, Baltimore and Pittsburgh are all teams that
people believe could be playoff caliber Bengals or Ravens. Let's

(26:45):
pick one. I think they're gonna say it's Joe Burrow's year.
That's right. What do you think you should have went with?

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Covino? They got the Ravens at fourteen and three, winning
the division.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Dam fourteen and three? Did they have Joe Burrow? Make
it a little wild card, right?

Speaker 3 (26:59):
The Bengals just a game above five hundred nine and
eight and third place. The Steelers they have coming in
second place with an eleven and six record.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Man, that's a little generous too, though. I'm thinking ten
ten wins for the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
And then you were right about the Browns as usual,
three and fourteen they predict.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
All I tell your AFC is nothing.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Nothing crazy.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's gonna be the worst team with the most coverage.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
And I'll get to their postseason picks at the end,
we'll move to the NFC now NFC South, of course,
the Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Bucks.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I think they're gonna go, oh, you're a big Baker guy, Camno, yeah,
sticking with it. And while they while the while they
while they are probably the best team in that division,
still there's gonna be a sentiment that Carolina really takes
it to a new level this year. I think they're weird.
Crazy pick is that Carolina somehow emerges.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Well, they have the Panthers at eight and nine coming
in second place. You're right, Coveno. They have the Bucks
at nine and eight topping the division. The Falcons they
say seven and ten, Saints two and fifteen.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Damn. So they feel like the winner of that division
is nine and eight.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Huh yeah, all right, we'll go to the NFC West.
Rich of course, your Niners are in that division with
the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Rams.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Anyone that anyone that doesn't believe the forty nine ers
win this division I think might as well be doing
crack with Hobo Williams on the side of the road.
Because I talk it's gotta be I means drifter Williams.
I mean especially they changed it to drift. If you're
with drifter Williams, I look at it this way with
Matthew Stafford banged up already. The guy there was we

(28:40):
were talking about epidorals last week. He's in pain the
way a woman giving birth is say it with confidence.
It's the forty nine is no dignity, no doubt. And
my other thought is that any one of the things
otherwise isn't answer. You know, the quarterback. It's the weakest
division for quarterbacks, which is why brock party will emerge,
because if Stafford's playing, it's Jimmy Garoppolo, Kyler Murray and

(29:05):
and who redheaded Sam Darnold.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
To have the Niners atop the NFC West at eleven
and six, but tied at the top with another team
at eleven and six. They have the Rams tied with
the Niners, and then the Cardinals at nine and eight,
and then the Seahawks also at nine and eight, so
they got two. They got double ties there.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
They think this is a all teams over five hundred.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yep, all right, We'll move to the NFC East with
our Super Bowl champion Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Commanders.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
All right, USA today always has to do something a
little while, because otherwise who would care? No. My final
answer Eagles, Commanders, Cowboys, Giants. I think they're going they're
going crazy and be like Cowboys. Man, I bet you
they have something preposterous like Cowboys win the division.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, they have the Eagles winning the division at twelve
and five, keeping it boring, Commanders at ten and seven,
Cowboy a game above five hundred and nine and eight,
and the Giants they're saying two and fifteen they got
no love for Jackson Darky Giants.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Well, you know that would that would mean I mean, listen.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
The Giants are gonna win more than two games.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
I mean, I'm not saying I'm not putting this crazy
faith in Russ or Dable or anything going on there.
But two wins is like, that's awful. Like two and
fifteen is like like like Tommy Cutlets has one of
the wins. That's my that's your hot take. Yeah, and
he has one of their two wins.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
All right. We'll move to the NFC North, of course, Chicago,
the Vikings, Lions, and Packers.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh my, again, this is one of those divisions where
I think there's people in the preseason making cases for
all of them unless they've gone really unless they've gone
very conservative, not outlandish. They might say, like the Bears emerged,
Caleb Williams takes it to the next level. But my
guess is they think the Lions are still number one.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Agreed?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, they predict the Packers wow to win the NFC
North at twelve and five. They have the Lions coming
in second with eleven and six at eleven and six,
then the Vikings at nine and eight, and they have
Chicago in last place at seven and ten.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Number still still trying to get there and.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Now and then you want you want? Do you just
want the Super Bowl picks?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yeah? I want to say so they have the Super
Bowl winner and loser.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yes, super Bowl sixty in Santa Clara, California.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I bet very alliterative. Super Bowl sixty in Santa Clara.
Bill's over Packers. What do you think, Cove based on
their what they've said, Bill, Yeah, I know, Yeah, it's
gotta be the Bill's Eagles over Broncos. Thiose over Packers.
You're thinking, well, based on what they've said, based on

(31:53):
their I don't believe the Packers. Bill's over the Lions.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Okay, USA. Today's Sports predicts it will be the Ravens
defeating the Packers.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Ravens Packers. Wow, that would be a good one. So
nothing too crazy this year from their list. Yeah, I
wasn't going with their list anyway. I'm not buying into that.
I don't think the Packers are gonna be better than
the Lions. But man, wait, so what do they got again?
The Bills over the Packers.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
No, they have the Ravens defeating the Packers.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Ravens over the Packers, and you know you love it,
So congrats to Baltimore. I have a question for you, guys.
You know what, at least it's not as bad as
last year. That's that's believable.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
They're championship games. By the way, they have the Ravens
defeating the Chiefs and the Packers defeating the Rams.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
With Staffords such a big factor there. Otherwise, you got
Jimmy G. I'm he's the most handsome guy. But I
don't know if you If Jimmy G's taking another team
to an NFC championship game, that seems unlikely. I will
ask you this one question before we move on. Old on,
let's at least acknowledge that USA Today put out a
pretty decent prediction as opposed to last year, which I
think last year was like they were messing with us

(33:09):
Ravens Packers. That's believable.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
This is the conversation for another day, but off the
top of your off the top of the dome right now,
is there a team you can ask me to freestyle? Yeah? Yeah,
right now, like you're like you're Harry Mack through aund
the top of the dome, top of the dome, like
Harry Mack. I don't know, we'll I'll give you a
word that's a lot of pressure stuff, freestyle rapping right now?
Is there a team that didn't make it last year?

(33:33):
Because we always joke and you make fun of me
because I overused the word parody, the parody in the league,
and how every year half the teams that made the
playoffs the year before don't make it. Who makes the
playoffs this year that didn't make it last year? I
feel like you have an answer. I think my answered
it around. I think most the two teams I feel
like are back in the mix, forty nine Ers and

(33:55):
the Bengals. I think I think the narrative that the
Bengals start slow will change this year. And I think,
and we already said, Joe Burrow taking snaps, having a preseason,
getting a head start, and what watching that hell watching
quarterback Cavino made me realize how many tough losses I
it had been lost on me, Danny, how early in

(34:16):
the year, how many tough losses that Bengals came a
real tough loss and they went either way and they
were fighting. They could very easily have been three and
oh instead of ozer and three last year. So I
think I think the Bengals and the forty nine ers
who were just banged up. No McCaffrey, no Kidd, there
was a lot of injuries last year. Trent Williams was
banged up. So I think Niners in a weak ass,
NFC West and the Bengals, those are the two teams

(34:38):
that I feel like, are you know, re emerging in
the playoffs this year. So your thoughts on the USA

It was my birthday weekend and I went east just
to visit the fan before school starts. Yeah this coming

(36:23):
week here in Los Angeles, by the way, speaking of
school starting, yeah this week. Like you said out here
in LA I always felt it made more sense after
Labor Day that I know they do that in New
York and the East Coast. Yeah, it feels way too early.
It's too early. I mean the end a little early.
What I am saying and what I am seeing, I
have to start by saying no creepo, no creepo. You know,

(36:47):
I get really excited every year for the NFL schedule releases.
Oh wait, no creepos, like saying no offense when you're
about to say so, yeah, so something creepy is about
to be said. You know how I love those NFL
release videos where all this social media teams, every NFL team,
and it happens what months ago when they released the schedule.
You know what I'm seeing more and more of, And

(37:07):
they did not do this when we were in college.
Every hot sorority does, like some dance video. Have you
seen these photo around social media? Like every sorority it's
about you've seen it, right, every hot sorority like Alpha
Fia at Arizona or someone, and they do like some
which is a big fan of I felt the thigh,
huge fan. But yeah, look out for those. You gotta

(37:28):
see those all over your feed or maybe not, maybe
it's just mine. Continue I haven't seen any of them. Yeah,
because my algorithm doesn't work that. I'm sorry, your algorithm
is all Anthony Vulpi. It's the volpedo. So I was
in Disney and I'm gonna tell you my experience. I
haven't been a disney World in a minute. We live
in Los Angeles, so we've been a Disneyland is close by.

(37:51):
Disney World is a whole other experience. It's massive. It's
in Florida. But speaking of Florida, it is you know
how you know those because you'd be surprised how many
bosos don't know it World O RL World oh RL, Orlando,
disney Land La LA, and d Land LA. But people

(38:13):
still don't know.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I read that social media made that up.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Social media made that up. I'm saying that's not why.
I'm saying that's a way to remember it, because people
always mess it up. And I think if you can't
remember just naturally, you're an idiot. People do not know
the different to go whoo.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
People don't know you think people know, They don't.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
And in Orlando Cinderella's Castle. In la it's Sleeping Beauty's Castle,
a little, tiny, cute, quaint little castle. So there's a
big difference between the land and the world. And I'll
tell you my experience. I want you to know. I
went there with my daughter. It was sort of a
personal triumph because I've been trying to take my daughter

(38:54):
since she was like seven years old. I never got
to take her. She's gonna be sixteen in November, and
she was down to go. So I'm like, let's go
cross it off dad's bucket list. And I wanted to
have like a dad daughter sort of bonding thing. We
had a blast, dude, and I was finally able to
take her. So again, I didn't roll solo because I'm
not a Disney adult. I went with my kid. I

(39:16):
didn't go with just you know, another adult. I went
with my kid, even though she's a teenager. Bubba the
Love Sponge who lives out there in Florida, our old
pal Bubba, Yeah, went on a bit of a rant
about Disney adults. Let's let's hear Bubba the Love Sponge.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
They are the most pathetic human beings on the earth.
First they make, they make. They're the ones that make
Disney not fun.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
They're weird.

Speaker 9 (39:38):
I mean, like you were weird. It's designed for children. Yes,
it's targeted for kids and not for childless adults. If
you're an adult that goes to Disney without a child,
they need to check your hard drive.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
I'm just telling you right now, you are weird.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
You're weird.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
And they clog everything up.

Speaker 8 (39:55):
So the kids had to get to wait an hour
to meet a character because some forty year old a
break on a scooter.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Hug it wants a hug Tigger, right, I.

Speaker 9 (40:05):
Mean, give me a break, and poor Tigger he's and
then poor Tigger's got a complete different mindset after that
three hundred and ninety pound greasy pig just you know,
hugged them his full attention to little Sammy. No, he's like,
oh my god, I just got accosted by a four
hundred pound pig.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
I wanted to see that little.

Speaker 9 (40:23):
Seven year old and say hi to her, because that's
who my character is supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Liked by not some four hundred pound grease belly pig. Damn.
It was like harsh as Bubba here. And by the way,
it's good to hear Bubba's voice. Bubba Love Sponge Old
Radio Pal VARs Old Pal talking about Disney adults, I
feel like, if you're going with your wife for a
nice day, there's no shame in that. Better to bring
a kid like like like you said Rich earlier about

(40:47):
the movies, Sparrow kid. You got a nephew, bring him
he would love to go. What are your thoughts on
Disney adults? Because I saw some weirdos out there. But
then I also you know what I need for us
to do coming up to find Disney adult because you
just said, well, if you go with your wife, does
that still make you a Disney adult if you go
with your husband or wife, I don't. All right, And
I'll give you the top rides from my experience, and
we'll play some games and give away prizes and talk

(41:08):
about Derek Jeter, Jeter can't wait, you love Jeter, and
we'll go for some more nfls. We are twenty five
days away from the NFL season. More coven on Rich
