Yeah, your Best of the Week is eight minutes long. Yeah,
it's only six minutes. Guys, you'll love it. Perfect. So
we're gonna wrap up with your phone calls, and now
I'm go and give you the answer, the conclusion as
to what to do in this situation.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Again, this is ticket etiquette.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
If I buy my girlfriend tickets to see the Jonas
Brothers next month, six into it, dumb?

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
The question is should you wear your purity ring? Do
I have to go no? Right like and vice versa.
She buys you tickets to something she doesn't care. I
bought you WrestleMania tickets, like you want to go at
your buddy sometimes? How do you handle these situations, these dilemmas?
Or is it imply that you're going with her? We'll
wrap it up with your phone calls and then my answer,

(02:23):
and then we're gonna play a game. All right, We're
gonna play Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom again to prove
that this is a dilemma people face. Look ringside, look courtside,
look right by the dugouts, look at the fifty yard
line of every big game or event, there's a lot
of apathetic people along for the ride.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yes, and they're wasted tickets.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
You could say that, Like you go to the Super Bowl,
which I've been lucky enough to go to, right you
look around and there's a lot of people that are
there just because they're they're a wife or a husband
of someone that came along a corporate sponsor that doesn't care.
And it's aggravating to real fans. So I get what
you're saying. You'd be taking up, don't take away my
final answer, Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I don't go to the phone. Let's say hi to
Steve and Louisiana.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Steve Steves a chicken.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (03:14):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Guys?

Speaker 5 (03:15):
So I just kind of need you guys opinion on
the situation. I have a little bit of everything going on.
So I've been with my girl five years. When I'm married, Jed,
I'm proposed soon. Anniversary is a fist. She buys me
tickets to Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City. I'm assumed that, you know,
I mean, I mean, I'm thinking that to my gifts.
I tell my best friend about it.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
We're punk.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
I tell her, you know, the plans, everything like that.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
She kind of gets upset.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
But on the other side of the coint for her
for my different anniversary, I got her tickets to go
see Chris Brown and I don't want to go. So
I just assomed she was taking a friend, which she is.
I just want to know what the guys think like
and she was upset.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think you gotta say, hey, I I thought you
bought it for me and my buddy. But yeah, of
course I'd love to go with you. I think you
got to go with her in this case, because she
clearly made it obvious that she wanted to go with
you or was hoping you chose her.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
You gotta make sure Chris Brown doesn't pull your girl
up on stage.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, unfortunately in your situation, I think now you gotta
go with her. And by the way, this never gets easy, man.
You know, I co parent and I have a whole
situation going on now. It's sometimes let's say I got
Yankee playoff tickets? Do I go with my girlfriend? Do
I go with my daughter?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Right?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Because then my daughter's like, you're not gonna take me.
It's a whole situation, dude. Remember tickets usually coming. With
all due respect to your daughter, your girlfriend wore like
a Dodger's hat at times, and you, you, when she
went to the World's Series with you, you made it
wear a Yankees hat.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
But she's not a Yankees fan. Your daughter was raised
a Yankees fan.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
So it's always it's always a dilemma, and we try
to turn dilemmas into dilemonade. Let's go to the next call,
Let's go to West Virginia.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
What's up, Dave?

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Hey, can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
We could hear you. Aladdin clear. What's U buddy boy?

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Okay? So my Whitefire are both from our sixties and
our thirty fifth anniversary was right around a Donnie Osmon
concert in Wheeling at the Capital Theater that holds about
twenty two hundred people, and so I got her tickets.
She loved Donnie Osman as a teenager. And here was
my dilemma for out of twenty two hundred people, was

(05:27):
me and maybe ninety nine other guys and a bunch
of sixty year old screaming women at a Donnie Osmon concert.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
To me, you look like a really supportive, good guy
to be there, To be honest with you. Fun fact,
do you know the Osmonds have one of the most
famous metal songs that inspired the likes of Ozzy Osbourne
and other metal legends.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's called Crazy Horses. Look it up. It's the Osmond's
true story.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Can I tell you, guys a time where I went
with my wife to something and I actually did want
to be there, but people thought I was reluctantly there.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I got to sit in.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
The audience of the Bachelor after the final rows.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
I've seen footage of this cheese.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
We you love this one of the only let me
reflect I was the only straight dude there and you
love every second of it. Yeah, but yeah, sometimes I
feel like it's the experience for you and your significant other.
But I get it. You get two ballgame tickets. I
get why you wouldn't want to go with Joe Bro's concert.
Let's say to Woody in Virginia, Hey, Woody, Hey, guys.

Speaker 8 (06:31):
I got another wrinkle for you. What if you're in
a relationship dating for a while, you guys kind of
like the same things, do the same things, and you
get tickets for something big, like a concert at the
Sphere or a festival, or sixtieth anniversary is a grateful
dead or whatever, and between that time and now, you
guys kind of part in separate ways. Who gets them?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's a good one. That is a good one. I
think who ever paid for don't go together. I went
on vacation once with a girl like sort of after
we broke up, because it was like, well, we paid
for it. You booked a vacation, booked a vacation, and
we still went. And what I tell you, it was miserable.
It was sexless, it was fundless, it was everything less.

(07:14):
No fun was had. You look around the resort. Everyone
else is in love, and you're like, I hate you.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
You didn't tell her you needed lots of closure.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh, I was like, oh my god, I hate you.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well, that's also the same feeling, the same way you
looked at other couples having fun and loving each other,
and you guys were hating each other. If I went
to this Jonas Brothers concert, I'd be looking at everyone
else having the best time while I wasn't, you know,
And I'm not saying I don't like them, and I
can have fun, but I'm not into them.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
So who else do we got?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
David will wrap it with you and they'll tell you
why you need to do what I did.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'll explain what ut David.

Speaker 9 (07:49):
Hey, guys, thanks checking the call. I can see both sides.
I don't think you have to go unt necessarily, but
I think there can be unforeseen consequences if you don't
case in point about them. Ago. I bought my my
wife's tickets to her favorite band. She knows that I'm
not into that band at all, so I buy her
go up here and I say, hey, babe, here's two
Cold Play tickets. Take whoever you'd like. And you would

(08:11):
not believe what I saw on social media the next morning.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's fun.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
That is really great. I appreciate how Wow I'm being viral. Wow,
so weird she took her boss. I'm looking at Jonah's
brothers songs and I know that's not the point, but
I don't think it would hurt you to sit through it. Well,
Waffle waffle House, here's how soccer leave before you let
me know the So you've heard them in the Supermarketer,

(08:37):
I don't think I do yet. Do you know Crazy
Horses by the Osmonds? I don't think you do the
same way, Assi Osman, Yes, the same way. I don't
know Joe Bros. I know, but I respect them. We've
interviewed in her cloth same.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Can you play waffle House by the Jonahs Brothers?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I feel like Kavio those that's all, Or play any
Jonas brothers for that Mat, I'm more of a nighthop guy.
Bro Let me finish my story, go on so he
can play Joe Rols in the background. I'll present them.
Thank you for the answers. We all have these dilemmas sometimes.
What my plan is, if I'm able to snag two
of them, right.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Could I go with her.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I know you want to because you're a goonberger. I
know he revels at this stuff. But I was I
would say, here you go. I'm willing to go with you,
of course, but take who you want. In fact, you
want to take one of your girlfriends, That's totally cool
with me because she knows I'm not into it and
I want her to have fun. I'm not gonna be

(09:34):
having the same fun her and a girlfriend, would I
understand that. So my offer is there, but take who
you want, right, make it very clear is what we established.
But here's what I'm telling you. Back in two thousand
and nine, in my previous life, my previous relationship, my
ex bought me two tickets to see the All Star Game,

(09:54):
the final All Star Game at the old Yankee Stadium.
Let it be the last one, Let it be No.
He was the one that brought up his ex wife
today not man. Yes that's right. Nobody are you following
two thousand and nine. This is before they closed down
the stadium, knocked it down. This was the last All
Star game there, and I was faced with this dilemma
of oh my gosh, she bought me these tickets with

(10:15):
my own money, probably, And do I.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Have to now take her? Do I take my brother?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
This is my brother. We love the Yankees. This is
the last All Star game at Yankee Stadium. So I
was faced with this dilemma, and I chose the road
less traveled by. And that's made all the difference because
I said, you know what, thanks, I hope you don't mind,
but I'm taking my brother because we grew up fans together.
And looking back, imagine if I took her, what a

(10:42):
wasted opportunity. You might still be married. No, she didn't
care about the Yankees, and she's my ax for a reason.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I took the person that appreciated it's who was an
actual fan. Otherwise you wasted the ticket. You know, you
want to take someone that's actually going to care about
the moment. So ill advice to the real answer. And
Coveno's right. I agree when we agree, it's fact, So
it's it's a fact. The answer is simple, don't give
the person almost the you know presented as such. Hey, babe,

(11:13):
I was able to get two tickets for the Jonas Brothers. Listen,
I'd love to go with you. But if you think
going with one of your girlfriends would provide more of
a fun time for you. I just want you, babe,
to have a great time. I'll go with you. But
if you want to bring Jessica, Sophia or one of
your girls, do that. But hey, I'll go because I'm
always down for a fun time. But that way, it

(11:33):
is in their hands.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
So keep your posted. Thanks for chiming in more feedback
at Covino and Rich And now it's time for Mike's
Wednesday words of wisdom.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Who Mike, It's time for the guy that runs this place.
I knew it.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
Just for clarification, Guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
It's Big Mike's words of Wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax and let
the train wreck itself.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Did his phone ring while he was recording. He had
no time to re record, couldn't recut. It was a
one time dude. You're like, God, it's perfect, perfect God, God,
I can't recreate.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
The magic all right now.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
The key to the game is you have to repeat
it verbatim, verbatim for this one back and listen that's
in the recording.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Does he even realize what happened? Mike? Are you here still?
Your phone got into words of wisdom? It's been corrupted.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I love it.

Speaker 7 (12:49):
Mike can't even run his phone.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
You have to recreate the ring verbati for the prime.
Well you didn't do one more time?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Real quick?

Speaker 2 (12:57):
We distracted one more time and again like you said,
calls at eight seven seven nine nine on Fox.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
If you repeat this word for word, you.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Would a covene on Rich Fox Sports Radio nerve football
just in time for the NFL season.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax and let
the train records sell.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
And he's cut off short at the end, Like I mean,
his production value is terrible.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
So anyway, we love Mike.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Now while we get the phone calls going eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, Your Chance to Win, Let's
talk about the man who thinks he's above the law
or is he just above the law. I'm going to
add a name to the list is Steven Sigal rich Davis,
who steals napkins and whatever he wants from Chipotle because
no one's going to stop rich Davis. He's above the law.
And of course Tom Brady who just breaks the rules

(13:52):
and then makes his own Did you just name your
own dream team? Steven Sagall, Tom Brady and me. That's right,
because the report today is blood bank. The NFL is
now allowing Tom Brady to take part in production meetings
with coaches and teams this season as pro the Athletic.
Last year, tom Brady was banned for the season from

(14:13):
the information gathering sessions as Fox Sports top broadcast analysts
due to his ownership role with the Raiders. So, in
other words, as part owner partial owner of the Raiders,
he can't be sitting in there in production meetings with
other teams and players.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
There's a conflict of enture. It makes sense.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Some people think that he shouldn't be allowed to do
both at all, And not only is he allowed to
do both, he's now allowed to sit in those meetings.
So he takes these rules and sort of stops on
him because he's Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
And look, I get it. He is Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
And not everybody is what we ass and that's just it.
When it comes to that, the first rule made for
him when it comes to gender, age, sexuality, all these
things in the workplace, everyone will and deservedly so deserves
to be equal.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
But that's just not simply true as far as talent goes.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Not everybody felt like there's a big distinction between like
everyone should be treated equally in the workplace. My example
is this, not to call out our fellow coworkers, but
you know how I was, Sam, did you recently have
to do one of those like, uh, not to call
him out, but get ahead it sounds juice, Well, well
you even do those things here at work, Elijah, you've done them,
I was, Sam long Crown, like those uh, sexual harassment

(15:26):
or procedural things like you know, FCC training, all these
little I think most people that work for a big
company have to fill out going on HR training. Everyone
knows like work day and all those nonsense websites that
the intranets. I recently asked that I won't say which show,
but let's just say one of the shows where it's
like the.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Face of our network. I jokingly said, does that guy
do those things? And he's like, are you serious? You
think that guy? That dude doesn't even open his email?

Speaker 4 (15:52):
That guy?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
You think that guy even knows that exists. I go,
that's what I thought our video guy Spot is like,
I guarantee they have to. I'm like, no, they don't,
because not everyone is Colin Cowherd or Dan Patrick. Not
everyone is Tom mother f and Brady.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
You make that.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Truth like this rob it and everybody's faces my biggest gripe.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
And I'll tell you what I feel like.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
We're making so many great cool moves here at Fox
Sports Radio, thanks to Elijah Sager the whole video team.
But you go sometimes you go to a new place
and I love working here and I'm not kissing ass.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Sometimes you go to a place and you'd be.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Like, you know, we should do you know, I have
this cool idea, and you'll get this response and it's
my most hated response.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, we don't do that here. Well you know I too, though.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Sometimes you learn in the corporate world, especially but at
the office wherever you work, the oil patch to the factory,
it's just easier to say no sometimes than actually put
in the work to figure out how.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I like how you lead with oil patch? Are you
picturing a bunch.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Of dudes, trillions of Canadians listening A lot of drilling
dudes listening to Steve Cavino, not a driller Covino's talking
all those guys up in Manitoba, Kennas, I'm talking to
people in Saskatchewan. So my point is Tom Brady is
the exception. I know that people hate.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
To hear that. Got another sports example people hate to hear.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
But guess what if Tom Brady could be the face
of Fox Broadcasting and also have a part ownership role
in the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
They're gonna make exceptions and little carve outs.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'll give you this. People are always gonna say no.
And what's great about the younger generation? Rich I'll give
the ween Neal some credit. They are quick to say,
well why not? Well why yeah, Well, because the answer
is no, and it's always been no. Well why the
younger generation is great at that. And again it's just
easier to say no than to figure out why. But
it seems that when Tom Brady says why not, people

(17:53):
like figure it out for him because there seems to
be a conflict of interest here.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
But I have another example.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I have one as well, So give the twogs des
don't get Mike's words of wisdom?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Winner all right?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
There was a lot of people are like, why does
Roger Clemens not travel a team? Why does he get
special privilege? Why could he only pitch at home? It's like, cause.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
He's Roger Clemens and you're not. That's really it.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
That's why exceptions are made for people who've earned it,
I guess, or deserve it. But he got special treatment
because he was the Rocket. Remember when he was in
his final years with the Astros, he didn't travel. He
just pitched home games. Yoh, that was the first time
we saw it. And you know, you know why because
he said, Hey, guys, I'm Roger Clemens, your future Hall

(18:37):
of Famer me this house.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You're looking at me. I don't want to I don't
want it. I want to pitch still, but uh but
I don't want to. I don't want to do I
don't want to travel. Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, I guess we could do that. I guess we
can make that exception. You're Roger Clemens. Yeah, will do it.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
My example was when we worked at Serious XM, and
you see this at a big networks Fox, Serious XM, ESPN, NBC.
Sometimes it'd be like, yeah, it's a conflict of interest.
You can't do this radio show, this TV show, this podcast.
And I remember I remember saying to someone once because
we were trying to negotiate ESPN and Serious XM at

(19:16):
the same time, and someone's like, yeah, we don't that's
we don't really do that. And I'm like, Kevin Hart's
an employee of like eight companies. They're like yeah, but
they pretty much are like, yeah, but you're not Kevin Hart, right,
So if you're, you know, they'll figure it out. If
you're important enough, they figure it out. And Tom Brady
is important enough. You just have to deal with it,
and if you have a problem with it, become more important.
It's the truth, and that' said, all right, let's get

(19:38):
a winner from mike'sar is the wisdom. Maybe one day
you could be as important as Mike, who runs his
place so important that during a recording his phone goes
off and he goes f it.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
One take. He's not busy. What are they going to
do about it? He's Sinatra? One take?

Speaker 10 (19:52):
All right, Mike, Brad Jerome, Joe lined up. We're gonna
start with Mike and Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Hey, Brad, what's up up? You gotta let it simmer
is part of the game out here you go.

Speaker 9 (20:33):

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Happy Wednesday, fellas. All right, let's start.

Speaker 10 (24:12):
Let's start with the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals. They're known
to be thrifty and hard negotiators, but some are saying
they're taking things too far. The Bengals are reportedly requiring
Ring of Honor members to pay for their own hotel
rooms and flights for the upcoming inductee ceremony. On October
twenty six, former Bengals QB Boomer Sison expressed his frustration,

(24:33):
saying that the team is not providing any compensation for
these expenses, which has drawn criticism from fans and members
of the sports media. Assison mentioned that the Bengals have
only sent two comp tickets to the game so far,
while the rest of the costs must be covered by
the attendees.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Midweek or Major Rich.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
This is major major.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I saw Boomer talking about this. They do a morning
show in New York. Boomer and Goo on WFN and Boomer.
They were ranton and raven about how they keep him.
An email with like, here's a group rate for the
hotel and he's like group rate and he's like, am
I a diva? Then everyone agreed, like, no, you're not.
You're Boomer size and one of the only people of

(25:14):
that team's history, and they're not going to give him
a hotel room.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's ridiculous. It is absolutely major. You know Boomer.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
You know Boomer because you grew up in New York
and he played with the jetsum, but can you know,
take it to your team. Let's say they said we're
doing a big Yankees event and they told Bernie Williams
or Derek Jeter or someone that.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
He pay hey, hey for his own experience.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Your Hilton group rate is Yankees oh one, or they're
honoring you know. So yeah, no way you would expect
the Bengals to flip the costs for this. Absolutely. I
don't think he's a diva at all. I mean, yeah,
major story. They look really bad in this one. They
got to make it right, all right, we move on
and they get They gave him a fifty dollars per diem.

Speaker 10 (25:58):

Speaker 2 (26:26):
It's it's funny, but it's mid I mean, who's that's
something like laundry washing the dishes. All these things are
errands to me that I don't want to do. To
begin with, I don't think you a little. I don't
think some music. I already like this how my washing
machine makes It's like boo, it already has its own
little Jim question, So clean Clean exactly. I'm glad you
said that it's Major because it's something that we've been

(26:47):
doing for years anyway. Ain't nobody dope as Steve Bomb
just so Fresh, so Fresh and so clean. Click you
think you think the lyricus Steve, It's not Steve Steve.
That's why I'm like major man doing this. I want
to win I've actually seen him. I seen the promotions.
They're black and sleek. It looks really cool. I just
think it's major because it's like a perfect match and

(27:10):
it's actually happening. It's like when Korn and Adidas finally
put their collaboration out. They've only had this song for
thirty years. Yeah, they collaborated. Everybody loved it. This song
sort of goes hand in hand with your laundry. It's
a cool, dimmicky promo.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
It's fun.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, okay poop.

Speaker 10 (27:26):
Becky Lynch is one of WWE's biggest stars, but she's
a heel, and as a heel, she relies on cheap heat,
insulting the audience in a way that's like really specific,
so that they have no choice but to boo her.
On Monday's episode of Raw, she referenced Ozzy Osbourne's recent death,
which led to a response from his own daughter, I'm
not wrestling in Birmingham, she said. The only good thing

(27:48):
that came out of here died a month ago. But
in fairness to Ozzie, he had the good sense to
move to la a proper city, because if I lived
in Birmingham, I'd die too. You could hear a gasp
from the and it also caught the attention of Ozzie's
daughter Kelly Osborne, who criticized Lynch and the WWE in
a post on an IG story. She said, you are

(28:09):
a disrespectful dirt bag. Birmingham would not urinate on you
if you were on fire hashtag Birmingham forever. Shame on
WWE for allowing such things to be said about my
dad in his home. Oh Man Rich daughter of Darkness
blasting on the WWE Midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I think this is major, and I want to take
a joke. I'm one that likes to push the envelope,
but this is like, you know, a legend died and
you're insulting his hometown, Matt click yourself again in the
daughter or any family members you know, shoes, you'd be
a little set of a wrestling promo. Gimmick was taking
shots at your dead pops.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
And at the same time, that's his audience, right, The
wrestling audience is very much a metal audience too, so
it's a it's.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
An odd choice. I'm gonna say major as well.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
I think Becky Lynch has to make this right, meaning like,
look I'm a heel, and I was doing what a
heel does, right, So it kind of worked, right.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
Doesn't it work? Though?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
It does work reaction, So I think I think there's
a way to explain herself, like I'm trying. I guess
maybe you went too far, but I was doing what
I thought I was supposed to do as a heel,
but as a person, as Becky Lynch, the person I
loved your dad and I didn't want to offend you
and I'm sorry. So I think she has a way
to make it right. But yeah, way too soon. You know,

(29:29):
no one wants to hear that her dad just died.
Wrestling has been known to push the envelope. Remember when
you were a kid, there were certain things like is
that real or not? Like there are there are some
gimmicks that they have you thinking, like, well, where's the
line between reality and hey, it's entertainment, you know what,
Maybe more think about it.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I think it was rude, but I get it. I suppose, right, yeah,
all right.

Speaker 10 (29:49):
Tops is releasing an exclusive card featuring featuring an unlikely
baseball star, the Confused Squirrel, who ran under the field
during the Yankees game against the Red Sox. The squirrel
briefly stopped play during last Friday's game when it ran
out onto Yankee Stadium during the top of the fourth
inning and approached Yankees pitcher Max Freed on the mound.
Freed said, my first reaction was, don't do anything that

(30:11):
might embarrass you. I thought it was just going to
run around, but it came straight to me and went
in the little hole I created on the mound. The
cameras caught Freed and the squirrel in a stare down
At one point, I think I just said, okay, buddy,
let's go. Freed said, he just did his thing. It's
definitely strange, but it's all in good fun. Play resumed
when the squirrel made his way to foul territory and

(30:31):
ran through a chain link fence and into the scoreboard area.

Speaker 7 (30:36):
Yeah, rally.

Speaker 10 (30:36):
Squirrel status was not met because the Yankees went on
to lose one to nothing, but he does get a
tops Baseball card, rich midweeker major h this could.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Have been major, but it's mid so waste it on
or you think the squirrel cares. I would love a
baseball Oh, waste.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
It on it.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
For sure.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
The Mets would have already had T shirts made by Now.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, let me tell you this.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think it's I would have loved for the as
much as I'm rooting against the Yankees every day agus
could be known, I have our bed. I would have
loved the Yankees to have the rally squirrel, just because I.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Know Covino would have hated it. Yeah, but they ended
up losing that angle.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
I know, but I'm saying I almost wish they had
the rally squirrel because Cavino hates gimmicky stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
And you would have been at odds with yourself.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's a mid story, even though I know people love
it and Danny g you nailed it. If this happened
at City Field, the Mets would have had T shirts.
It would have been a squirrel mascot. They would have
leaned into this in the cheesiest of ways.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Squirrel would have been invited back to throw out the
first pitch.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
But I watched it live. Yeah, exactly right, we welcome
him the squirrel. I watched it live, and it was
pretty funny. The squirrel ran right up to I forget
who was batting, but it ran up to his foot,
like what was his squirrel up to? And then the
face over Max Freed. It really was kind of funny,
and then they put it in slow.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Motion and they look at the gap. Look how graceful
this thing is.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
It was a fun moment, but sort of mid because again,
you think the squirrel cares about the card. I want
a stupid card. What makes me say is the biggest
highlight of the week for the Yanks? As he say,
he says that you had an exciting weekend watching slow
motion squirrel vance.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
The only good thing that happened last week for the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
All right, thank you, Danny gy, Yeah, Danije, everybody you know.
Let's go to Isaac Loancron. He's got an update. What's
up ilow?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, thank you, fellas.

Speaker 11 (32:17):
The NFL Today's suspended Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashie Reriice
six games for violating the Personal Conduct Policy walk by
me in the background.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Look awkward.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
There you go. Let him do his upbeat and it is
a multi media empire.

Speaker 11 (32:32):
I dare you to do it. Shirtless radio is theater
of the mine. Oh, come on anyway. In July, rash
Raish was sentenced to thirty days in jail in five
years probation for his involvement in a car crash in
Dallas during the twenty twenty four off season. The Baltimore
Ravens signed safety Kyle Hamilton to a four year, one
hundred million dollar extension with eighty two million guaranteed. And

(32:55):
now the carousel begins about quarterbacks, all right, try and
keep up. The Ravens also signing former Cleveland Browns quarterback
Tyler Huntley to their practice squad. The Browns meanwhile signing
former Patriots QB Bailey Zappy to their practice squad. The
Patriots were awarded former New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito
on waivers and released received at Kendrick Bourne that live

(33:18):
audio of DeVito as he signed the contract he Jacksonville
Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said today that rookie receiver
in quarterback Travis Hunter will play in the regular season
opener against Carolina. Hunter did not play in the jaguars
final two pre season contests because of an upper body injury. Baseball, today,
Coveto's Yankees defeated the Washington Nationals eleven to two. They

(33:41):
had six home runs, including Aaron Judges forty first and
Cody Bellinger's twenty fifth. Max Freed, by the Way, had
a no hitter going for five innings before it was
broken up. The Atlanta Braves hit five home runs, including
two by Jerkson Profar at a twelve one victory at Miami.
Right now, the Mariners up four to two over the Padres.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, au Hanni O
Suarez a three run home run is forty second of

(34:03):
the season, and Roman Anthony let off the game at
Baltimore for the Boston Red Sox today with his seventh
home run of the season. So the Red Sox up
won nothing over the Ools. As they go to the
bottom of the first inning at Camden Yard, it's guys,
back to you.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Thank you, isaach. I don't want to put you on
the spot.

Speaker 11 (34:22):
It's live broadcasting. What's the problem you're You're the one
who chicking out on taking your shirt off on the
YouTube stream.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Ye for now, he has those puffy ones if you
know what I mean? Oh I do you know what
I'm talking about?

Speaker 3 (34:36):
In my nipples man, especially in this cold studio of.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
An active they would look good in an active roster.
Baseball's twenty six now right they added one more or
is it twenty five and does it expand to twenty six.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
I think it expands September first, we can check.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
But I think it might even expand beyond that.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
My point is, most baseball teams carry twelve to thirteen pitchers,
and that's that's pretty standard. It seems like a lot
of football teams are carrying an extra quarterback. Where do
you think they make up for that? You think less
linemen are kept less guys in the secondary. That's a
great ques because you've seen multiple teams carrying an extra QB,
which means they're not carrying somewhere else. I'd be curious

(35:13):
to Maybe we'll look into that later this week. But
it seems like the Browns are not the only team
that is quarterback heavy.

Speaker 11 (35:19):
And typically teams only do carry three quarterbacks because you're right,
if you carry four, you have to sacrifice a roster
spot elsewhere. So it would depend on what team it
is and what situation they're individually in, Like some can
afford to get away with one fewer defensive back, not
so with offensive linemen. Teams usually carry eight maybe nine tops,

(35:41):
so maybe they sacrifice a defensive a defensive back for examp.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
You would think with fifty three or twenty six in baseball.
Oh that's plenty, but not you do utilize most guys
on your roster. All right, listen, we got more Covin
and Rich, we got stuff to get to. We talked
Tom Brady, we talked for Nando Cruz. There is a
there's a little more football I want to get to
because we are eight days away.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Can you believe that? Eight days away until football begins?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
So more Coveno on Rich next right here, y'all, Steve,
so fresh and so clean clean. All right, we're live
from the Fox Sports Radio studio and Rich space.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
It's a tea for a new job.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
And Rich FSR.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
And since we're streaming live, Rich, I got this pretty
cool idea of like standing up while I do the broadcast,
like standing up.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
The whole time.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Monny who I was thinking about tank I was thinking
about wearing a tank top too. Yeah, that's a pretty
cool idea, right, stand up with a tank top. Maybe
tomorrow I'll do that an yeah, and Aaron Rodgers as
a regular Yeah, good, you're top. Yes, standing up might
be my new move. What do you think just stand
up the whole time? Like, just lean over every once
in a while.

Speaker 7 (37:15):
Yeah, I'd still stand a lot.

Speaker 10 (37:17):
I'd still put a four minute timer on your second.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Shout outs to macif guy likes to stand.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
But anyway, there's a big debate going on outside in
the hallway. You know, the beefcakes to work here, Oh
beef Kak Patrick and beefcake Brandon, Brandon and the beefcakes.
They were having a debate with Rob g outside and
it's a funny one. This is, you know what I'm
labeling this conversation When you care too much about your
fantasy team? Yes, and there's a lot of people that do.

(37:50):
When this is how you know you care too much
about your fantasy football team. There was a hypothetical presented
to the innocent Patrick Patrick, such a nice boy.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
His mom makes cookies for everyone.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Again, these are the editors and producers here, at Fox
Sports Radio. It's such a great team.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Great dudes. They're having a funny ass conversation.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Well, I don't even want his beautiful sweet mother Maureen
to hear this.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, Maureen, who.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Makes cookies for us, Now it's time to change a channel. Actually,
I think you'd be proud of his decision, or at
least I am. But so take it away. Apparently Patrick
is known to like slightly older women. Right, So, Brandon,
I believe, presented the question to Patrick.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Brandon, who's football obsessed.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
By the way, Brandon, who's such a great dude, one
of the really promising young editors here.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
He's got great he makes great TikTok videos.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
But but when I say Brandon's a the fantasy football
his TikTok videos have hundreds of thousands of views.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
He's he's legit.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
We work with some talented young men and young women,
and I love this kid, Brandon, because he's a Niners fan,
and he makes me think every day that the Niners
are going to win thirteen games. So, all right, well,
present the hypothetical, he said, Patrick, I know you like
older women. So if right now in front of you,
I presented you two scenarios, the hottest milf that you've
ever seen, or your favorite player justin Jefferson on your

(39:12):
fantasy team, what.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Would you pick?

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Hold on, hold On, it wasn't just the hottest milf
you've ever seen, forty year old, hottest milf you've ever sad,
not even that at all, like that.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
But to them that's like old.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
I guess when you're twenty four, Yeah, I guess that's old, lady.
And Patrick, like a wise man, said yeah, I'm taking
the hot forty year old milf, the hottest forty year
old milf you've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
And Brandy goes, but it's justin Jeffers. He's like, then
you're not a real fan. Then you're not. I'm like,
so I had a butt in too. I'm like, wait,
what do you guys?

Speaker 2 (39:40):
They're getting all loud because they think Patrick's crazy for
choosing the woman in this scenario, and I'm like, yeah,
I agree with Patrick's just sitting there nodding his head,
like what are these youngsters chatting me? You're gonna choose
a number one fantasy draft pick over the hottest milf
that ever was in this hypothetical? Then I think your
love of football has gone way too far. Your fantasies

(40:01):
are off, that's what that's what I come to here,
and keeping it real goals wrong.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yes, so funny, but it's a good one.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
But it goes to show you how passionate people are
about their football and fantasy.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
You know, hey, my fantasy, my fantasy is way.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Different than my fantasy doesn't involve Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Justin Jefferson's don't even involve himself.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yeah, but for some people, you know, it's real. So
hey man, that's funny. Hey, would you do present that
question to your buddies? A good one though, your favorite
player on your fantasy team or your fantasy make it happen?

Speaker 1 (40:35):
What would you do?

Speaker 2 (40:36):
John Kenyon his style, let us know at Covino and
Rich that's always been your thoughts. You've always you've always
said things that, yeah, my fantasies don't include Christian McCaffer.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Not Barklay.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
By the way, have you seen that great picture someone
superimposed and photoshops sat clon Barkley backwards jumping Taylor and Travis.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
I reposted it. He's jumping over the proposal.

Speaker 7 (40:57):
So funny.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Danny G Radio on Twitter. You could see that and
you could see us. Like I said every day on
the YouTube stream at at Covino and Rich FSR.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
