(00:25):
Like I said, I feel like your Mets are turning
things around, so I feel like my Yankees are turning
things around. I hope your teams are playing well. I
hope you enjoyed some good fights. But before we get
into the MLB, before we talk about MLB expansion and realignment,
what a lot.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Of great football stories today.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Who's your starting quarterback on some of these teams that
haven't made the announcement yet, Well, we'll speculate.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We'll have some fun.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Before we play Last One Standing. We do that every Monday,
the most heated game in all of sports radio. Giving
away prizes today like we always do, let's discuss a there.
If your BONEU buddy dares you to do something.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Do you do it? I double douggy dare you?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Does it have to be a triple dog there does
it have to be a double dare and you go
down the Sunday slide.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I think the.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Lesson learned here is when you dare one of your
buddies to do something at the bar or at a
ball game anywhere, like yo, I'll buy your launcher, I'll
get you a drink if you do blank, dude. Sometimes
you don't want that person to actually do it, like
you were joking. I'll give you an example when I
was little as a nightmare. It's also a sports example,
so give me extra credit here, tying this back to

(01:34):
sports genius. I had a ball game when I was
a little kid, and I had a belligerent uncle name
Uncle Angel, belligerent crazy guy. I've heard big heart crazy Guy.
And one of my other uncles dared him to climb
the foul pole and they're like, yeah, going Angel again.

(01:56):
This is like early eighties. It's like a old, gloomy
memory that I have, like a hazy night, old Yankee Stadium,
Bonton potato chips advertisements in the background, the old Yankee
Stadium that smells like beer, and Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Like New York, old New York.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So I'm there as a little kid, and they all
start egging Uncle Angel to climb the foul pole as
a little kid. I'm like, no, don't do it. That's
embarrassed Angel. No, no, no, dude. He's like a quarter
of the way up the foul pole and security's grabbing
him by the pants and you see, you know, he's
ask sticking out trying to pull him down. They escored

(02:37):
him out of the stadium, but he took the there.
I don't know what he got out of it, but
he's like, yeah, all right, I'm Uncle Angel, watch me.
And I'm like, no, don't do ahead. So embarrassing as
a little kid. It's funny that sometimes when you dare
someone to do something again, like you said, you don't
expect him to do it, or part of it is like, no,
I didn't really want you to do it. No, So

(02:58):
I got to get props to someone that I owe
lunch to for the rest of the week, for the
rest of the week. Isaac Lohancron who Isaac doing the updates?
Isaac Lowancron, Isaac Low and Cron. I couldn't believe he
did it without hesitation. Outside of Fox Sports Radio, there
was a table of about eight. We would you say,

(03:22):
thirtys year old women having lunch, little business lunch. Eight
women yap yap, yapping outside. But it was a scene.
You don't see that many women at that table. It's
there every day. We're sitting right next to it. We're
in the office. They're outside in the courtyard. We could
see them there and they're yapping it up. And I
could hear them giggling and talking. I don't know what

(03:44):
they were talking about. But I said to Isaac Lowancron
when he popped out of the news anchored room over there,
I said, Isaac, I'll get you lunch the rest of
the week if you go outside, pull up a chair
and say, hey, ladies, what's the tea?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Would you believe this son of a bitch.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Did it without hesitation, without hesitation, without hesitation. And I
have the picture, Isaac, do you mind if we post
the phone on our Instagram. I just sent it to
Danny G for proof. You got to see it, Danny J.
I almost died because I'm like, no, don't do it. No,
I didn't want to see failure. At first he walked out.
We thought, we thought at first he just walked out.
He was going to walk past them like to just

(04:24):
oh he went and grabbed the chain.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
He's the only natural blonde sitting around the table.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
It was so awkward and hilarious at the same time.
And we just saw all these girls staring at him.
He's like, hey, ladies, and he sits down with him
now rich oweshim lunch left of the week.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
You guys inspired me because I don't think if someone
would have asked me who I didn't like as much
and trust as much as you guys, I wouldn't have
done it. But not only did I do it, I
really like oversold it. I like pulled up and okay,
ladies wants to team.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
So you know what it was. So I I'm going
to be a man of my word. So the rest
of the week, Isaac, text me what you want for lunch.
I will be your lunch boy the rest of the week.
That's what happens when you dare someone and you don't
know if they're gonna do, Like Sam, would you have
done that?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Or said?

Speaker 5 (05:10):
I can't't know, maybe, but I wasn't putting in isaac shoes.
Isaac is you can't predict what I absolutely wouldn't have done. It,
But you know what, actually you get a staw.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
He was real spontaneous with it. Just roll with it.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I guess if you catch someone in a in a mood,
they'd be willing to do it. I would not have
done that. Props to Isaac for pulling that off. Do
you take the dare or not? Do you take that
free lunch? Do you take someone's money if you're so
confident on a bet, do you take their money on it?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Rich always asked that question. I think you have to.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I mean, you don't make a bet and then back
out on the on the payoff. I owe Isaac lunch
and I will certainly pay up. I think what you're
saying is, if you're at the bar, your buddy's like, yo,
go talk to that girl, give you a hundred bucks.
If yourybody's like, okay, you got to give him one
hundred bucks, you can't make WHI always says, you're soppering up.

(06:01):
If you're so certain. If you're so certain, then why
not bet on it? If you're so certain, it's so obvious,
YEA like Kavino will say bet, Kevin will be like yo, tonight.
I don't know he would name me Yankee. I'm not
saying this year, but there were times there's money. This
was easy lunch.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
This was less of a bet, more of a there.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
But still it's easy three free lunches for Isaac to
just and a good laugh and just sit up there
and say hello. If you're so sure, my question always
is well, then bet. Like there are times where Kavino
will say, tonight, yo, Vulty is gonna go off. I
guarantee Vulpi at least gets a hit tonight. I'm like,
we'll bet it, yo bet. The kids say yo bet.

(06:41):
All right, Now, that was a fun way to start
the week. Absolutely there was seriously eight young women. It
takes some iron wavos to pull that off. And props
to Isaac Lowan. So again we'll post that at Covin
Overge so you can see Isaac in his true glory.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Isaac Iron, Javos, low and Chrown.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
So before we get into baseball, you did see the
Little League Classic yesterday. A good weekend of baseball football
seventeen days away, which is freaking awesome. So we got
football before you know it. Some team still trying to
figure out QB one. We will get to all that,
I promise you that, But I want to bring up
something that Big Mike brought up again. Doesn't always have

(07:19):
to be all about sports. But I think this sort
of ties in because you never heard of them.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
When you sitting on your ass at home. Yeah, you're usually.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Watching the game or one of your shows, or your
dad's sitting in his chair watching Fox News or something like.
Every and I say their chair, because do you have
your chair? I have a spot, That's what I'm saying,
a spot. Everybody has a spot. A chair would be nice.
Every king deserves a throne. I don't mind that I

(07:50):
want a chair one day, like in a man cave
somewhere like Dan Patrick, when I have my own man cave,
my own thrown in my own chair. But now I
just have a spot on the couch. But if I'm
visiting my parents, I feel like I have a chair
at the dinner table, like that's my chair. Beat it
scramble am and ding dong. If someone's in my chair,
I'm like, yo, Steve's back in town. You're in my seat.

(08:12):
But it's not your house anymore, I know, but I always
sit there. So sees the question if you have buddies
over for fight now let's say you were watching UFC
this past weekend, or baseball playoffs are right around the
corner again. In two weeks and a few days, we're
gonna be watching Thursday night football as the NFL season

(08:32):
kicks off. If you have people over your house or
you go over someone else's house, is there an understanding
that you need to figure out where the hosts usually sit?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
That way, you don't take their chair.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Absolutely, it's like the head of the table, like that's
reserved for who'seever house. It is even in your relationships.
I'm sure your wife has a spot and you have
a spot. If you're in her spot, she's like, you're
in my spot. That's just how it is. You have
a designated spot, and you always always are kind about it.
But there have been times where I've had people over
watching a game and they're sitting in my spot and

(09:07):
they're like, oh, this is your spot, and I'm like, yeah,
you can stay there, and then myself sitting on another
part of the couch. It just doesn't feel unless you
really feel like standing and you're hosting and you're like
really just running around.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Otherwise, I don't think it really requires that much explanation.
So when we walked in today, Mike was sitting in
Rich's seat. We always plan the same way every day.
Rich is on the right, I'm in the middle, Danny
G's on the left. It's been that way since the beginning.
And then Michael park between me and Danny G.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Right.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
It's always that Mike comes in here, what's going on today?
And it's usually between me and Danny G today. So
then today he's sitting in Rich's seat and Rich is
standing around like what do I do?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
You kindly say, hey, that's my spot.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
You give the thumbs like get out of here, hey,
scram Just a reminder. The other day, my brother was
visiting from the East. He came to visit us here
at Fox Sports Radio. Before Danny got in, he was
sitting in your chair and I got Jim, that's Danny
Stimnie old thumbs this way, Hey, beat it up, beat
it buddy out. So I think there's not a lot

(10:13):
required here. It's just a simple playful that's my spot.
And I think anyone who's a real friend, they're just
a regular fellow, would understand like, oh my bad. And
that's as simple as that. But everybody has a spot
when you switch it up. That's when when it's weird.
It's like, what are you doing sitting there?

Speaker 5 (10:30):
It's off what happens if spot is in your spot? Hey,
get out of my spot. Spot confused to be like
who's on first? So I mean the show that goldbergs
is a great example. Remember of the dad Jeff Garland
Murray Goldberg had his recliner.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Did Grama's have a spot? Paps paps dot? Is it paps?
Every Paps had some sort of lazy boy that was there.
It smelled like Grandpa.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
It just smelled like old man.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yes, it's just a quick reminder before you get into
the Grandma didn't sit in Grandpa's lazy boat. Before we
get into the meat of today's show and Isaac gets
to choose the meat because lunch is on me. Before
you get to the meat of the show. It's just
a reminder. When you go to someone's house to watch
the game or fight, before you PLoP down with your

(11:19):
chips and your drink, just ask the host, hey, where's
your spot? Because they might say, but believe where you're sitting.
Then you say, oh, I'm sorry, take your seat. Everyone's
got a spot. I constantly will tell my kids, like, move,
that's dad spot. I have like a visitor rule that
I live by. I usually find the standalone chair and

(11:42):
sit on the chair. I don't like to like get
all comfy in the couch because if there's like pet hair,
then I have pet hair all over me and I'm
allergic to it. Nothing against doggies, nothing against your house
rich either. I have a dog, but I'm not allergic
to my dog. You sit in someone else's seat, on
their couch, and you have like all his hair all
over you, like you're ruined for the night if you
suffer from allergies like me. So I just find some

(12:04):
random ancillary chair and pull it up right by the TV.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's my move.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then I turn it around like like a c
slater and I say, hey, what's up mama?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Quick?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Lesson, it's been learned. We can move on. Isaac gets lunch,
have those huevos, take the dare, earn some lunch, and
don't sit in someone else's chair.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Take your seat. I think we could go home now.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
The question is what do you do if someone's in
your seat? That's really the question. Politely tell them and
to tie it back even though we don't have to rich,
we'd love to banter and have fun here on the show.
Do you think people have a spot in the dugout?
Is it their spot? Do you think John, you think
Big g my guy Jean Carlos Stanton is like, that's
my spot.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Without a doubt. You don't think.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
You don't think in the Dodgers dugout, Mookie or Freddy
or someone has like, oh they like to sit in
this corner or they get to they.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Like on the rail over there, like have set spots
where they lean while they're standing.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
You think it's standard, like for veteran for the key players.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, who do you picture, right?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean there's certain teams like I always picture Lindor
in the same spot with his arms on the railing,
like you know, watching the other you know, the other
guys at bat If some young guy goes there, you
wouldn't You don't think someone's like, no, that's Francis glan
doors spot.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Without a doubt. There's a pecking order, there's a hierarchy.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
See oh, we've seen in the NBA, we've seen young
guys be told sit on the floor. Even though Lebron's
not dressing today, you're in his seat. We have seen that, Yeah, NBA, definitely,
NFL usually see Brady sitting there.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
At Brady.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I know I picked him as an example, but I'm
picturing m his uh with his tablet by the coaches
or whatever. I'm sure there's a hierarchy of like there's
got to be a spot for certain key players, the
quarterback especially, but I haven't really noticed it, but there
has to be. Yeah, I think they kind of move
around based on where their position. Coach just add and
things like that. Here on our showgram program, I sit

(14:07):
where I don't normally sit, and I think I'm switching
that soon because I'm not comfortable with Rich on the
left of me. I've done twenty years of radio where
he's to the right of me. But we don't want
to confuse who's Covino and who's Rich. So that's why
I'm sitting where I'm sitting. Otherwise I hate it. It's
not my spot, so confuse everyone. Now that we have
a new YouTube channel.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I know pretty soon I'll be saying there.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
If you are watching, or if you've ever seen any
of our Instagram or TikTok or Facebook clips, we sit
on Fox Sports Radio, Covino on the left, Rich on
the right.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Cavino and Rich that's not how he likes to sit.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, so years and years it was the opposite, and
I think I'm going back to that soon. So anyway,
what's your spot? How do you handle it when someone's
in it? Equally corny question, have you ever dated someone
or had a buddy or anyone for that matter, that
when taking a photo has to stand on a certain side.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
It happens. That's Johnny Drama.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
It does happen, though it happens a lot Johnny Drama
and Steve Katy that's my good side.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Oh you're my spot, Coveno.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
If someone, lets say we meet a listener or doing something, Hey,
let's get a pick, Covino will rotate because he feels
like he has one better side of his head. You
know what it is, there's certain angles. It's like you
never saw Beavis head on, right, You never saw Beavis
head on. You always saw it from the side. Comparing
yourself to Bevis Kate. I rarely see me head on

(15:30):
because I just don't like posing that.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
But what about butt head on? No, you would see
butt head head on head on. You would see butt
head head on.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
You wouldn't see Beavis head on, and when you did,
because you did once in a while, it looked weird.
When you see me not like this, it looks weird.
So anyway, what's your spot? How do you handle it?
And here's my advice before we move on. Final tho
throm a scram Hey beat it, give the thumb out,
hey beat it. A normal person understands, Oh my bad,

(16:03):
I'm in your spot. The end is not that awkward.
I've seen firsthand where I remember this, and I remember
loving every second of it. Because if you love drama
show like I do and triple g Kannadi Gilofka loves
drama show.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Who doesn't love good drama.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I remember I was with an ex girlfriend and her
sibling was dating someone new and the new dude sat
in dad's chair at like a holiday dinner and I
was like, oh, it's gonna be good, and I I
why an Italian family, that's that's called a no no
no no. So hey, hey, you got your spot, you

(16:42):
got your seat. In fact, there have been guys that
have been sitting in the same seat at stadiums and bars. Yo,
I'll tell you this. It sounds ridink it sounds ridiculously territorial.
But there's a great episode of Cheers. I'm I'm glad
you brought that up. Did you ever see that episode
where someone like some yuppie in the eighties was sitting
in Norm's barstool and he's like, yeah, that's my seat.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
He goes?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Who he goes? I'm Norm.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Like, if a matter of fact, Sunday football. When I
lived in Hobulkin, New Jersey, I was such a regular
every Sunday, I'd be at that bar eight hours watching
football from start to finish.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
I had a bar seat that if I got.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
There and someone else is there, sometimes a bartender would
be like, everyone scoot down, that's that's riches.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I would say.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
In that case, it's the bartender responsibility to be like, nah, nah,
he's a regular, He's that's his seat right there, cause
you can get in a fight there. I'm not gonna
give you that advice. I'm not going to tell you
to pull a Norm and tell the guy to scram
uh not in that case. But let's take one phone call.
We we'll move it on and we'll talk some MLB
and some NFL. Because Rob Manford said some interesting things

(17:45):
at the Little League Classic this weekend. Uh, Jeff and Indy,
you're on the show, Covino and Rich. It's good to
be back on a Monday.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (17:53):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Fellas? I normally don't listen to sports shows, and I
totally dig your show. I listened to it all the time.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Thanks man on this.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
I think a cool guy kind of knows where you're
supposed to sit where you're not so so. For instance,
I'm in sales and a buddy mine will call me
on a Friday midday at about one hundred percent of
the time when he says, Hey, I'm going to my
leg house. You want to go, I'm already got a
go bag packed in the.

Speaker 6 (18:15):
Back of the car.

Speaker 7 (18:16):
So I drive down there and to see him. And
he always takes his dog, Jacks And when we get
in the golf cart to go down to the boat,
Jackson is on the passenger seat as a golf cart
golf cart. Now I'm in one of the seats in
the back. I would never throw that off or bum
his dog out or bum him out.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
You just know, you just know, I'm not even riding bitch.

Speaker 7 (18:35):
He's riding bitch. And I'm like dub bitching back or something.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
You know what, I'll say that I like your move there,
don't disrupt the flow, Jeff, Jeff, that's an interesting point. Again,
we don't need to harp on seats the whole show,
but it was an interesting thought because, yeah, but some
people don't have a good self awareness when it comes
to that. But he said, he he's at a sales meeting.
If you don't think it's strategicy, if you don't think

(18:59):
there's st tgery of where to sit at a business
meeting or a sales meeting, like Danny, when we met
with some of the MLB people or some of the
great salespeople at iHeart during the Super Bowl or All
Star Game, you almost got a position yourself like all right,
I'm gonna let the woman in charge of the guy
in charge, let them sit where they sit, and then
we all sort of you know, that's why we said
Spot pulled the power move because he sat at the

(19:21):
head at one of our big meetings, remember that, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
The All Star meeting with MLB. We had a lunch
with him.

Speaker 8 (19:27):
We all moved down one so that the one of
the MLB executives could sit at you know, one of
the heads of the table spot.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Was down at the other end.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's called showing respect, respect God, to respect the.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Chair doing this touching his finger chaps together.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Then you got to reserve that seat for the man
in char These are my terms. And sometimes sitting back
and letting someone take that seat is the move.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's the solid move to make.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
So anyway, have some self awareness, have the wherewithal to
know that you're disrupting the flow.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Cal Rowley, mon Soto, Lynn.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Door Star, Startar Studded. And that's the other thing that
MLB is doing right. They're letting the players be themselves.
They had the player Day, cool bats, cool cleats, They're
there with the little leaguers. They promote their stars in
a better way. It seems like they're doing everything right.
Dare I say hold up because it reminds me of

(20:28):
a game show that I loved as a kid. I
remember sitting in grandma and Grandpa's house and we'd be
watching a show call Oh Sharks, or is that the
show you're gonna host some there Nard Sharks.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
No, it wasn't uh. I would have.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
In fact, my grandfather watched Doctor Quinn Medicine woman like
stupid random shows.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Her grandparents probably watched bowling for dollars. My mom was
on bowling for dollars. It's true story. Fact. Oh I
love the Gong show.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
No, it was a a show called Press Your Luck,
and I always remember that people would have their money,
much like the modern example would be Dealer, No Deal.
But I'm gonna go pressure luck. You remember the old
no wammy, no wammy, big Bucks, big bucks, wamy. Would

(21:23):
you ever heard a wammy?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I's a phone call? Remember? Is pressure luck?

Speaker 4 (21:29):
A staple of staying home from school viewing during the
afternoon as a kid.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
You loved They was an animated little character that came out,
but he stole all your money. You didn't want the whammy.
You wanted big buck. The wammy was way creative for
nineteen eighties graphics, right, the little singing at you.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, I used to love that.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
But you would always remember you you press your luck,
and that's the name of the show.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Do you keep your money? Do you pressure luck?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's sort of like Dealer, No Deal, when Howie Mindel
would call the banker, all right, we're gonna off you
two undred and eighty thousand dollars and the JIBBRONI would
be like, no, no meal, and then he would then
he would lose everything. I think right now we're at
a pressure luck moment with Major League Baseball, slightly bigger bases.
Pitch clock World Baseball Classic has infiltrated the Baseball World

(22:18):
Little League Classic the Tennessee what.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Is it again?

Speaker 1 (22:23):
The motors feel like they pressed their luck with that one,
and that was the first misstep that we've seen with
changes and experiments.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
You talked about it the other day.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
The great jerseys they have now, the city connects all
the little things Baseball's done, the bat flips, the everything's relevant,
entrance music, eighth and ninth inning, where the setup men
and closers. There's light shows at the stadium, Danny. All
these stadiums have great food now and options. Baseball has
done so many great moves that it's almost like, stop,

(22:57):
take the deal, Howie Mandel's giving you. Don't try to
don't hit a whammy. And I heard Rob Manford talking
about realignment. When there's expansion, how about a window into
the future expansion realignment off.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I mean, yeah, can you see that down the road?
I can you know?

Speaker 3 (23:16):
I think that I think The first two topics are related.
In my mind. I think if we expand, it provides
us with an opportunity to geographically realign. I think we
could save a lot of wear and tear on our
players in terms of travel.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
And I think our.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Postseason format would be even more appealing for you know,
entities like ESPN.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't I don't want to hear anymore, and I'll
tell you why, because right now, Baseball with that extra
wildcard is just enough, right the third wildcard.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Some even said, oh.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
That's too much, but it keeps all these fan bases interested.
Three wildcards, three division winners in each league. I don't
mind if they, you know, branch out, add a couple
teams Nashville, Portland. There's a couple of cities that may
be worthy of a team. So again, expansion and realignment.
I think expansion is great. I think everything they've done

(24:10):
up to this point is acceptable. Even the runner starting
on second base at first in extra innings. People are like, oh,
I don't know it's working out. There comes a point
where you press your luck.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I hate to say.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Another analogy be like some guy that cheats on his wife,
he never gets caught. You keep doing it, you will
get caught eventually with your pants down, you think, Unfortunately,
some of these athletes, I keep getting rubbin tugs. You
think they what happens is eventually, Well, what it is.
It's quoted in your favorite show Ozark. It's not the
first time they did is the first time they got caught,

(24:43):
And you just press your luck and pushing and pushing
and push it. I think baseball right now is in
such a good spot that yeah, expansion's great, Nashville team,
Portland team. Who would say no to that?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
But realigning. The reason I say no to re aligning
realign God Smack style, not for baseball. The reason I
say it is because when you look at what the
proposed this is not official, but what they called the
proposed imaginary new divisions, Well again they said geographically realign
for better games and better TV. I think they would

(25:16):
they would call a division. I believe that the speculation
was the Northeast and it would have the Mets, Yankees,
Red Sox, and Phillies for easier travel in one division.
And my first thought is, I don't that's like you're
you're not spreading out the wealth, And then what are
you gonna have a South team where it's like the
Marlins Rays. I just feel like the divisions are so ingrained.

(25:39):
You got to keep some type of tradition.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (25:42):
It's America's pastime. Oh you're the first to say this.
Sometimes tradition is making the same mistake over and over again.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Would you be down for baseball realignment?

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I say no, Danny g don't you sort of like
the NL West with the Dodgers podcast.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
But everybody hates.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Changed period, Like no one likes any sort of experience
engineer re alignment change, and then we get used to it.
It's like Johnny Lawrence said, you couldn't leave well enough alone,
could you?

Speaker 7 (26:07):
You?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Little punk? Or whatever he says to Daniel Son. You
remember in the classic Karate Kid, your little twerp, Come on, Manford,
leave it alone town feeling you know what? But that's
how we feel, you think younger generations give a Diddley squat.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
I don't you know what?

Speaker 1 (26:25):
IM down for the feedback. Let's go eight seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox. As we go to Isaac for
an update, Let's get the phones going your thoughts. Would
you want baseball realignment and a different postseason because I
think it's perfect expansion.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
I say, fine, just don't mess it up in another sport.
The Cleveland Browns, well, we don't want to make any
analogies there are too easy, folks. They officially named their
starting quarterback today and going to be Joe Flacco, entering
his eighteenth NFL season. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew
Stafford practiced today for the first time since it started
training camp.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Thank you, Isaac, you de man.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
By the way, I think the Joe Flacco announcement is
a good one for football only because it keeps the
Gabriel Sanders drama going on longer. I feel because if
you gave the starting job to one of them, then
it's I don't know, I feel like flat because you
know Flacco is not going to be their long term.
So I think it keeps the storyline going. It's a
safe bet for now for mn Stephan. Now, I think
you you squash some of the storyline. I think you

(27:23):
say he's the starter and then you just let them
compete behind this. Then the young guys continue to develop.
But yeah, I think it's the safe Why.

Speaker 8 (27:30):
Guys are underestimating the media they're going to stay all
over this, Samplers, Gabriel, you know.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
What, it's true, but I think that it is the same.
Would you agree the safe bet though? For Stefanski and
the Browns.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
Oh yeah, we knew that Flacco was going to be
the starter. It's just how the rest of the dominoes
are going to fall.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's the boring answer, but it's the obvious one.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
He is a super Bowl champion. Yeah, but you know,
exciting to hear something exactly. Thank you, Danny, Thank you, guys.

the way tire buying should be Now. I looked at
week one of the NFL, which I'm almost hesitant to
look because how many days are weak, like eighteen seventeen seventeen.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I'm ninventeen days a week.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
He hesitant to dive in Danny because you know that
once the NFL season starts, it's gonna be like all
we really talk about. Yeah, So I'm like trying to
like the conversation. Eighty percent of conversations once football starts
are about the NFL and college football. So I'm trying
to like, you know, the calm before the storm a
little bit because I'm still loving baseball and everything else.
It's one of the doubleheader games on the first Monday night.

(29:23):
Bears are hosting the Vikings, and I think with JJ
McCarthy and Caleb Williams, that's gonna be because we've talked
about that division and how people assume the Lions will
be a contender again. There's some people that think the
Packers are a top five team or so. So that leaves, well,
the Vikings were a postseason team last year and they
fell sure. Remember Sam Darnold pooped the bed in the

(29:45):
playoffs and it's like, oh man, they were thirteen and
four and bah, now.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Where the poop to bed? It's called a grumpy, A grumpy,
A grumpy, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Johnny Depp grumpy, that is what he called it.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
He called it a grumpy.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Is it time for the Bears fans to actually have
high hopes? Remember last year? That was that crazy sentiment
that Bears fans like, we're making the postseason.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's like, oh, it's so fast.

Speaker 8 (30:10):
Exactly one year ago on the Covino and Rich show,
you two were talking about Caleb Williams and the Bears
fans being so excited.

Speaker 9 (30:17):
I think they opened the season like four and two.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Well, do you remember what the turning point was? I remember, oh,
the Hail Mary. The Hail Mary where against the Commanders
correct and the defender gave up on the play, almost
celebrating they lose the game.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
And then that was like the wheels fell off celebrated
prior to the Hail Mary. Now it was horrible, and.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
That was like a turning pot because up until that
point the Bears are hanging in that division, and then
again it all went south. But hey, we'll see, that's
gonna be a great double header on Monday night.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Well I'm not.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm sorry, not double header on Monday night. That's your
Monday night game, Sunday night, the first Sunday Night game
Ravens at the Bills. You could argue and say that
might be an AFC Championship preview in Week one of
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
So a hell of a lot of things to look
forward to.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
But to wrap up the last conversation, cove, yeah of
Major League Baseball perhaps pressing their luck and it just
leave things the way they are. I feel the same
way about when the NCAA talks about having like one
hundred teams in March madness. It's like, no, we're good,
we don't need one hundred teams. And when football, I

(31:24):
think football would be wise to cap it at eighteen
games and that would be it.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
No more.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
They're gonna go to eighteen nothing else. And then you
start pressing your luck, pushing your luck and I think
you could say that about every.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Sport, right, Dan missed it.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
During the Little League Classic, rob Manfret said there will
be MLB expansion and realignment in the future.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
You don't want the mess and Yankees in the same division,
do you?

Speaker 10 (31:49):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
I don't save we agree now, I do want to
talk to NFL. But Danny g you gotta be really
pumped about many Macha. I'll go in one for twelve,
leaving nine runners left on base. Yeah, the Padres Dodgers
fans are roasting this guy because he really is, as
you said, a hateable player.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
He's not a team such a punchable face. So the
fact that Machado came up really lame.

Speaker 8 (32:16):
He came up a few times in the series in
high leverage situations where they really, the Padres really needed
him to come through and he failed every single time.
And then to end the sweep, he swung and missed
and struck out and it was a beautiful thing to see.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
It was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
One for twelve, nine runners left on base. Not a
great weekend for Manny Machado.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
Why can't the Dodgers play like that against every team?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (32:41):
Yeah, Now there's some some of that energy where you
could tell the Dodgers really dislike that Padres team and
so they bring the extra fire.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
So let's talk a little football or switch gears a
little bit. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio, Danny
G's on the phones eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
and of course you can always chime in at cove
Know and Rich on social media at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Cam Ward. This is according to Bleacher Report.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Do you mean cam Lord, as we mentioned before, the
least talked about first round pick? Well, he's the least
talked about, but he's also the least talkative because he
said that he only talks to his parents and his dog.
And I thought maybe his dog like his boy, but no,
his actual dog, that's my dog.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, that's my dog, is Rothweiler.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah, he only talks to his parents and is Rottweiler's
dog outside of his teammates.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
That's it. And it got me think. It's so many things.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Like do you got to keep your circles tight? Is
that good for a young star in the league? And
how often are you talking to other people? Like are
you often calling your buddies like throughout the week? Because
I'm not I recently talked to my How weird is
that for a young guy? He recently talked to my

(33:58):
brother about this now because my brother is going through
a divorce and it ties in because he's going to
be meeting a lot of new women.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Right.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Oh yeah, I hope, so go get him. Oh kids
swiping like h he can't put his phone down.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh tell him to make sure they're women. I've heard stories, so.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
My brother, Like a lot of guys, when you're in
a relationship, you sort of lose track of your friends.
And I was like, you got to regain your social circle,
because I think there's no bigger warning sign when you
meet someone and they really don't have friends. It's now
now cam Ward an exception because I'm sure any woman
would get with a first round draft pick. You know,

(34:43):
you get stud but stream focus. No time for Dally Dally.
You know he's got blinders on. He's talking to his teammates,
his parents and his dog, and that's it. I think
that's bad. Balance life balance, You need to have balanced.
What did mister Bia teach Daniel LaRusso Balance? Daniel Sun Balance?
But how many times in your life when you were

(35:05):
a young man, not now because you have rug rats,
a wife, two kids, all that stuff. Right, you're older now,
but when you were a young guy, how oldest came
more twenty three?

Speaker 2 (35:15):
How old twenty two? Twenty two?

Speaker 1 (35:17):
You remember waking up like on a weekend. You would
go hours at a time when out talking or saying
hello to anybody. Sometimes sometimes the first word out of
your mouth was like the hello to your colleague. You
didn't talk to anybody. I'd be doing nothing waiting tables.
I didn't speak a spoken word to anyone until like

(35:38):
I arrived at like five pm. It's a really weird thought.
You really do you need more than your teammates, your parents,
and your dog. I think that's something old ast people
deal with. I don't think young people should operate that way.
Let me explain, go ahead. I think it's an introver
extrovert sort of conversation, maybe because I am what they

(35:59):
call on out going introvert. I don't really need all
that socializing like Rich needs. And you could hear on
his personality. Rich is a real social guy. I'm the
type of guy that's a butterfly. If I don't have
dots on my calendar, I'm the one that's trying to
be like, hey, what should do you want to go?
Wait for the weekend, Let's have friends over for a barbecue,
let's go to the batting came tell you go here?
Like like, just enjoy the comfort of your own self

(36:21):
and chill out a little. You told me something this
morning that I thought it was really funny, But I
get it. For introverts, Covino and his girlfriend Jordan have
a theory that they don't leave the house unless there's
two purposes. Right, she needs to justify leaving, like I'm
not going to Target unless like she's on her way

(36:42):
to pilates or something. Right, that's it's more of my mass.
But there has to be multiple reasons to to leave.
Otherwise what's the point, Like I'll do it later and
I'm going to Ralphs the supermarket. Yeah, let fly. Let
the errands or activities add up and pile up first.
She's not going to just go to UPS to drop
something off unless she has to go to the supermarket
as well.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Some people don't.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Like, as we always say, dots on the calendar, dots
on your outlock. Other people like to be busy. I
just think that cam Ward's an exception because he's a
superstar young athlete, so there's no shortage of people that
want to be around him, including women.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I'm sure of that.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
But I think let's talk about regular people, because that's
what we all are.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Right.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
If you're a regular guy or gal and you don't
really have any friends, that could very well be a
red flag to others. Yeah, but when you're playing football,
you don't talk to anyone other than his parents and
his dog. Game month, it says his teammates. He talks
to his teammates, right, Obviously, those are like minded young people.

(37:42):
Those are like your friends. That's what I mean. Like
I feel like when you love what you do, and
we clearly do. We work in radio we bs all
day and have fun. Yeah, you guys are my connection
to what's going on. You guys become my extended family
and friends in a lot of ways. Yeah, you're my
coworkers and colleagues and try to keep a professional but
we're all on a mission together. So I look at

(38:04):
you as my friend, and Danny G and Sam, you
guys my friends. I don't need to be talking to
everybody else. That's weird, Sam, So hold on. Sam told
me if the show over ended, he would never talk
to you. Well, that's fine, you know what f you too, Sam?
I did say that, but I think, don't you think
he feels like I'm getting my social fix by hanging
with all these throwing it up in the in the
locker room with his buddies all day. Like he's there

(38:25):
playing football with them. He needs to call his high
school pals or be on playing video games, chatting it
up with strangers.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
You know, we have our headphones on for a long time.
So there's a couple of times where I've noticed. I'll
be driving home and it's bumpered up on for traffic
and I haven't even turned the radio on, no music, nothing,
It's just silence.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
And I think about it. I'm like, the reason why
is because we just came from so much noise. We
were just chatting it up.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
So he's chatting it up, chopping it up, talking football
all day with his buddies. He doesn't have time to
talk to his like high school pals or college friends,
to just bs and catch up.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
I don't blame them. The question is do you find
it odd? If people didn't find it odd, I don't
think it would be a story. I don't find it
that odd. Again, the story is cam Ward only talks
to his parents and dog outside of his teammates. Now,
I think this is either aspirational or really sad, depending

(39:27):
on if you're an introvert or extrovert. I've read stories
about how older folks like e boomers, our grandparents' generation,
if they are widowed or older in a home or
living on their own, there are times that they may
go a whole day without talking.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Think about it.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
If you've got kids, Danny, g a minute doesn't go
by when you're not talking because your wife's probably yapping
your ear off. In the minute you wake up, you
got little CoA, you got your two year old son,
you got teenagers and twenty year old college kids coming home.
You're the minute you wake up, someone's like Danny or
dad or something.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Oh, it's a NonStop, but there's given by yourself.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
There's a lot of sid I have a question, Isaac,
if your beautiful wife is gone for the day or away,
can you go the whole day without speaking? Or you
the type of guy that is like talking to going
to get coffee and talking to a stranger.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
If my house was empty, for the rare time I
would sit back and drink it all in because in
the modern house, there's not only children screaming, there's also
multiple iPads of theirs running at the same hound. And
by the way, my darling, long suffering bride behind me

(40:37):
did not appreciate the yapping remarks earlier. I'll be paying
for it later back to you.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
That's Isaac lohencron Hey. By the way, I have another
question when he says he only speaks, that doesn't mean
like group text messages and social media or anything like that,
Like he's not communicating with other people.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
I don't know. I'm not sure I to interpret that.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
But either way, I like my quarterback or someone i'm
in invested in to be as focused as possible, So
any outside distraction is not helping the team in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
So I think what he's doing is great.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
Yeah, I assume he's talking about actually speaking to somebody
in person or on the phone, because we all have
friends and family who don't take phone calls. They only text.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I don't like taking phone calls anymore. I don't either.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
It's like intrusive, like YO, leave me alone, text me,
So I don't I don't blame him, Rich, I really don't.
To me, that shows his level of focus.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Rich.

Speaker 8 (41:29):
That's the other thing about a house full of kids.
My wife will be downstairs, kids will call her and
they're upstairs, so they are bothering her NonStop, even calling
her while they're in the same house. Yo, I think
about it more and more, and that's what we're forcing
you to do. How often are you calling people besides
your parents? I've accepted that.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
I'm you are. You're annoying as hell every day Rich
arrives here.

Speaker 8 (41:54):
And to say that, Rich, you're usually on the phone
with a friend or a family member as you walk in.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Because he wants you. He's using you to hold his
hand while he goes from point A to point B
to kill time.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
So he's really using you while he's on the treadmill.
He's just trying to kill time.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
If you and he's like dragging you along for the process,
It's like, Yo, beat it, dude, I have time for that,
and dope. If you don't know me, think about it,
your friend. I talk to my dog if no one's
around my dog, my parents. I don't want to call
anybody else. You could text your friends. You could text
like anyone else in your life. That's important. It's not
like an unsocial No, you sound like you need to

(42:30):
talk to everybody every minute of the day. You have
a twenty minute drive to Fox Sports Radio. I call
my parents. Yea, they're old and I want him to
know that I care. Is it that a good opportunity
to be to call your sibling or an old high
school or college buddy or someone or your buddy. No,
he's busy, he doesn't want to talk to you. You
could text him. You have to ask yourself this in

(42:51):
this day and age, is that something that could have
been texted now? I'm not saying it's not fun to
catch up every once in a while with an old
friend and hear their voice. It's not sometimes, But there's
so many times Rich calls me that could have easily
been a text, and I think to myself, that could
have been a text.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
I'm gonna do it more now, I'm gonna call it.
Anybody just saying hut, well, Rich. I appreciate the listeners you.

Speaker 8 (43:16):
Yeah, I appreciate the listeners who are like Rich because
we have dozens of callers to the show every day,
and if there weren't outgoing people who still use their
phone to make calls, we wouldn't have the interaction.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Yeah, but that's getting involved. We're having round table discussions.
We need people chime in. They're not always going to
agree with what we're saying, so we give them a
platform and we appreciate that.

Speaker 8 (43:38):
But Coved, there's some listeners who will not pick up
their phone for any reason because they just don't make
phone calls.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
He's intimidating. That's I think that's part of the reason.
There's two times I hate I'm on the radio. Every
day I get I get the nervous farts. If I
have to call in another radio show, I'm like, no,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
There's two types of people, and you could say, Hey,
maybe I'm the annoying one. I see a phone number
call me. I don't recognize it. I'm like, oh, who
could this be?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Hello? You call them that.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Other people will be like, I don't see I don't
recognize this number. Oh send it to vorceemail. I'm always like, yeah,
what's up, Hello, I'm hoping it's someone good. Now, I
know for a fact there's something to be said about
what you're saying I'm the rarity. You could say, oh,
Rich Davis most annoying guy in the world.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
There's also something to take crashing of speaking to someone
every once in a while. I'm not saying that. Well,
I'll accept the fact that I am annoying. Danny brings
up a great point. We're on Fox Sports Radio. We're
on over three hundred radio stations when we fill in
for Dan Patrick, and oh over six hundred. We're adding
affiliates all the time. When I came up in radio,

(44:42):
before texting was a thing, before smartphones were a thing,
sports radio, pop radio, rock radio, the request lines would
be lit up like a freaking Christmas tree?

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Can I request this song? Can I hear Taylor Swif?
Can I do this?

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Or like, yeah, I want I want to weigh in
on the Lakers or something. People now social media, Twitter, Facebook, texting.
People have text numbers on shows. We have one for
to one two see in our show. We use it
on our Patreon and podcast, The Letters CNR Show. So
the reality is people will do everything in their power

(45:17):
now to not call unless you're giving them something, Because
the minute we say we're giving away a prize, you
can give you a matchbook and the phones will eve lit.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
People just like free stuff.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
And by the way, it doesn't say anything about love
interest or wife or girlfriend. So do you subscribe to
the Mickey from Rocky sort of theory here makes him
weak in the knees, stay away and focus or what.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
What if he's what if he's in that category of asexual?

Speaker 1 (45:43):
It doesn't say his girlfriend or booty call, says nothing
about ladies at all, So again, have you extreme focus?
Have you guys seen the Jim Jeffries Nuke stand up
special on Netflix? No, he does a really funny bit
about the LGBTQA that the whole community. He's like, how
did a get in there? A means you're asexual? He goes,
shouldn't they be linked with married men?

Speaker 2 (46:05):
That's funny. So it says nothing about that because they
make you a week in the knees.

Speaker 8 (46:10):
Rock The Internet says cam Ward is currently dating Nyla Landen.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, but he don't talk to her during the season.

thing to say, if that's all right. Sure, not everybody

Wow, thank you, thank you, are you trying to steal
nixt I thought Nick couldn't get any worse.

Thank you, Nick, and thank you for everybody. I believe
they listened on ninety nine point nine out there in Idaho.
I always have a great time out there. Nank you, buddy, Nick.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
If you're still listening, I'm going to come and buy
an accustomed Jared Zabranski cards on, former quarterback of the Boyds,
State Broncos.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Dutch bros On Sam next time he sees you. I three,
all right now, we have lots of a stuff to
get to. We're talking about forcing things if we have time.
But first, an update from the champion Isaac Lohancrosz Hey Champ.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
Shout out to you guys, and shout out to Fox
Sports Poise ninety nine point nine with the following headlines.
The Cleveland Browns have named Joe Flacco their starting quarterback.
The London Daily Mail published pictures of beer yesterday in
Los Angeles on the set of her new music video.
Among the pictures, one was captioned by the London Daily

(57:27):
Mail quote Beer was all smiles as she chatted away
with a male companion on the set of the music video.
People on social media who looked at the pictures realized
that the male companion was none of the then Los
Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert Yo, sparking rumors and speculation

(57:49):
that they might be dating. Social media sleuth's even going
to the extreme to find that Beer follows the wife
of Chargers placekicker Cameron Dicker on Instagram, which they claim
is evidence of a potential love connection between Beer and Herbert.
Of course, no official confirmation that they are seeing each other.
As of yeah, back to you guys.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Spot just showed the pictures on the Fox Sports Radio
YouTube feed, so that's another reason to be watching it.
You know. Everyone else on God's Green Earth is like,
let's do predictions of who's gonna be who's gonna win
the Super Bowl, and who's gonna be MVP. We'll do
that like everyone else on the little chart we do.

(58:32):
We'll do that like everyone else, just to put it
down on the Fox Sports Radio chart in the studio.
But I feel like I want to. I'm gonna go
home tonight do a little homework. I want to make
a list of like odd predictions and see if we
agree on them or not. Like I'm looking at the
Miami Dolphins quarterback situation, for instance, do you think Zach

(58:52):
Wilson and Quin Ewers will both take snaps this year?
Or do you think Tui stays healthy? Like I want to,
I want to dive into some more like random predictions.
I think there's a lot of people saying good things
about yours out of camp and saying like yo, if
Tua goes down, maybe they go in a different direction.
If Tua can't stay healthy, they have some options there.

(59:13):
So and who knows is Mike McDaniel the first guy
on the hot seat if the Dolphins don't do well.
So there's a lot of random I think I want
to get into the more random predictions.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Rob Parker's hot seed.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Or yeah, anyway, let's do that tomorrow. Running out of time,
I didn't know if we could talk about Asia Wilson's
wild quote. Maybe we could talk about that tomorrow, but
I'll give you the quote when they talked about letting
the game come to her or not. She says, it's
like forcing a fart, all you get is.

Speaker 7 (59:44):
S.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Again, you can't force That was Asia Wilson's wild quote
about forcing her game on the court. It's like forcing
a fart, all you get is s. And before we go,
there's another viral story. What do they always say? I
was taught never trust a big button, a smile, never
trust a fart, and I've never never trust a fart, and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Never trust when something's free. And I was always told
never trust rich Rich Davis around your girlfriend. I don't
know if that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Yeah, I was told that when I met him. There
was something called the mcweener that went viral, and I
just wanted to bring that up, like, what's your coolest discovery?
Like remember we had a cheetoh shaped like a crucifix,
like the we call it Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
We called it Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Someone discovered what they're calling the mcweiener, And I don't
I do you know how you dared low and cron
earlier Today, I dare you to eat the mcweener. Rich
someone found this in there in their McDonald's. Oh my goodness,
the comments are so funny. Yeah, as I say, I'm
here for the comments, which we can't read most of
them on Fox Sports Radio, but we'll post the link

(01:00:45):
on our Instagram story at covin on rich you find made.
It looks like a big chicken tender, but it's it
looks like someone Honestly, it looks like someone accidentally junk.
It looks like someone oh you know what they throw
in the NBA WNBA courts.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Looks like someone deepride on. It's deep pride.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
So we've all seen the toast that looks like Jesus
or the Virgin Mary, you know in the toast. The
mc wiener is the latest rage, and it'll end up
on eBay soon.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
We'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, Riba there che
baby you in the promise Land.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Goodbye,
