So we got the very sexy Isaac Lowan Crown.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
We got Iowa Sam on the Ones and Tuesday Danny
g super producing at eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox before we talk about Jalen Ramsey and Denzel Washington.
And I know you have a misery rating. You want
to get to rich real quick, right quick? Just a
random question.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It is the first day of school for kids in
Los Angeles. When you were.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
A pumpkin pie haircuted little kid on his first day
of school with his little backpack and his brand new sneakers,
all excited for the new year, what was your favorite
sporting game to play in the playground or in gym
class when you were rocking your penny on a throwback Thursday,
Because for me, honestly, it was the nerf football two
hand touched until one little nose picking kid broke his
(02:59):
finger and great school and we weren't allowed to play
ever again.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh. I was gonna say, I'm I'm a traditionalist. Could
you know? I feel like some old school kickball, a
little bouncy, a little bounce.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But would you play like before school or in gym class?
Are both recess and gym cluss? Yeah, I mean kickball?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah? Do you want it straight or bouncy? A little
just a little bouncy, so I get some air. You know,
it's funny. Man. I like my women like I like
my kickballs, little bounces A little little changed changed much.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But when I was a kid, man and we'd be
waiting to go into school, nice kickballs, you know, when
you would wait there, like to go into class, we
would be allowed to play nerve football. Nerves were big
in the eighties. Man, he were blowing up. And then
one kid got hurt and that fun ended. So that
was my fun aside from kickball, you know what, Jim,
(03:52):
volleyball was always a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Can I can I give you another game? I feel
like I logged many hours playing and could also be
considered an adult game. Nowadays, Asses up? You guys ever
play asses up? Different different meaning as an adult, but
as a kid, I would say, I'm in Iowa, did
they play asses up? I don't. I don't know that one.
In some parts of town they called it just to
(04:14):
show you we haven't changed much.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Still love asses up, and we still like it bouncy,
that's true, but no asses up still bounce, so some
called it suicide. Where you throw either tennis ball or
a blue handball heavy blue hand against raetball.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Against the concrete wall outside the school. Now you'd feel
it if you bobbled it. You then had a dart
to the wall and you had to touch the wall
before someone pegged you at the ball or some played.
You had to hit the wall. Then if you spelled
out ass, you had to get up there like a
criminal with your hands against the wall, and every one
(04:48):
of your buddies had one shot to throw the ball
as hard as they can right try to hit you
right in the back.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
They allowed kids to play stuff like that before a
school started. Not anymore, And can I one more honorable
mention out there? This was more of a gym class
thing for us. I grew up in Union, New Jersey,
so our town revolved around baseball, football, things like that.
We didn't have a lacrosse team. We weren't that type
of town. We weren't like a rich town in that sense.
(05:16):
So if we ever played lacrosse, it was in gym
class with the pennies and the plastic equipment and everything.
And I'll tell you it was a lot of fun
playing that in gym. I was all county gym class.
I don't know if people know that but I took
it very serious, and I'd go back to his history
class with a sweaty ass.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
He was how it was you? I always said it
was funny like speaking of first day school gym class.
Two things stood out. How smelly that room. I don't
know if your gym had the same thing. It was
like a room where they kept the volleyballs, the kickballs,
old pennies. It smelled like a hobo's ass like it was.
(05:55):
It was Honestly, I used to look around, like, is
there a hobo sleep? But there was.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Actually there's actually a candle named after that. It's called
out Rancid Hobos.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
But there there was that room in Drifter Upside Drifter.
It was like a It smelled like a drifter's booty,
and you put on these pennies, and then I thought
the other crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Those pennies held CeNSE from the early sixties, man, when
we were just they were never washed.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Let me give you two more memories on a throwback Thursday.
Then we're going to get into whether or not you're
allowed to be miserable as a sports fan. I'll explain
two more memories.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You'd play as a kid for hours gym class recess
and your teacher would let you have like two seconds
of the waterfound.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like one two, next one. Now every little kid's got
their water model and they're you know, they're hydrated all day.
When we were kids, we were at a water fountain
like a dog like like trying to get one little
lick of the fountain, and the gym teacher were yelling you.
Is that where you introduced to ultimate frisbee too?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Before like a bunch of nerds in the early two
thousands started playing in leagues and things like that. Is
that the first time you played it in gym class?
Because that was fun too. Uh, Never in gym class.
That was a college quad thing. I remember people on
the quad in college go through frisbee. So all right,
on this day, I just want to say I used
to love playing the playground before school two hand touched
(07:16):
nerve football as an eighties kid. That was so much fun, dude.
And I wish all the kiddies and all the kiddos
throughout the nation a great, great school year, especially my kids.
She's a sophomore now, and I just hope she has
a good one because if she doesn't, I.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Got to deal with this. So the memories I wanted
to bring up, Like you said, pennies that room and
everyone's gym that smell like hobo's ass. Yea, the limited
water you were allowed. Meanwhile, now, like I said, every
kid goes to school with like multiple water bottles, hydration.
And the third thought, you sort of touched on it
when you were in junior higher high school. And not
(07:51):
to sound gross, but you were going through like those
early stinky stages of puberty where not every kid wore
de oder it yet, and that's when you would sweat
huavos and then just go right back to social studies class.
Like class, all sweaty, you'd go, you'd go run a
mile around the track, You'd stink, and then you'd be like,
(08:12):
all right, now go to biology Like what Yeah, if
you had any sense of athleticism or pride, you took
some of the game serious because it was fun.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And the funny part about that I will admit, because
I was guilty like everyone else of this.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How many times did you take those stinky gym clothes?
You would put them in a supermarket plastic bag, put
in your locker and wear them again. Yea, yeah, I
smell that freedom smell. Rios, smell it. Happy first day
of school. Hopefully you had a great night. Hopefully you
didn't have a New York Mets winning six nothing yet
(08:46):
finding a way to lose type of night. I don't
know what team in baseball should be the most discouraged
now the Lake, the Dodgers, who are letting first place
slip away, The Mets who stink. Your Yankees, who who
are now like almost on the outside looking in. There's
only time your Mets lose. The Yankees horrible, I know.
(09:06):
So I bring this up because my buddy Mike, who
I went to, he remembers these days.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Guy, I went to elementary school, high school, and college
with who. My buddy Mike Losy never lives in upstate
New York. Date you went to every stage of life together.
Do you have a buddy like that?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
We played Little league together and we also went out
the bars in college together. Lifetime friend. He coaches soccer
baseball for his kids. Lives in upstate New York. I
bring him up because he's like a numbers guy. He's
one of those guys where he'd be like, hey, dude,
I punched some numbers in in the percentage. He's a
sports numbers. Nerdy guy and my buddy Mike used to
(09:48):
try to do an algorithm, like what person do you
know has the worst winning percentage based on their teams?
That was like his thing, like, yo, if you know
if you root for or you know, the Marlins, the
Miami Heat, if you add up all your team's like,
who's got the worst luck? Like who's who's really the
saddest fan? And my buddy Mike, is he on the line? Good?
(10:11):
Did he call it? What's up? Mike?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
There's no doubt in the world.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's me, Mike. Welcome to the show. Hey, buddy, Mike,
what give everyone? Give everyone your teams? Because you used
to take pride in being the saddest fan. Give everyone
your major teams.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I take pride in being the biggest loser. So we
start off with the Mets fair, miserable. Then we have the.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Islanders Islanders fair.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Then we go to the Jets.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Jets.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
When you say Islanders, do you mean Haku and Tama
Are you not.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The wrestlers because they were pretty good. And then as
far as uh so you did hockey basketball, Mike and that.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Basketball, yeah you figure, well, you're smart enough to be
a Knicks fan, right.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Nope, Nets fan, So our buddy Mike is Mets, Jets,
Nets Islanders.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He was inspired to figure out if he was the
biggest loser based on his choices because every team he
roots for is terrible. So I could see the train
of thought, like, what are the chances that I could
be rooting for the worst teams in all sports?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So when people bitcher can plain like, oh my teams stink,
and I'm oh, I'm bummed, I'm a mad fan. Mike
used to do this meth for us, and yesterday he goes, Yo,
what I've been doing for years. ESPN has now put
together what they're calling the Misery Rating. You plug in
your teams and they give you a rating on how
(11:42):
miserable you're allowed.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
To be, which is about of one hundred out of
one hundred. So one hundred you have, one hundred would
be the most miserable fan. And Mike, what is your score?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
So with those four you guys won't be surprised to
know that I am eighty nine on the misery Rating?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Nine eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Is Mike allowed to send this to his wife to
at least justify his moods?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh? Yes, I think you could.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I think you would have given me the time. They
too many eye rolls I wouldn't get.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But it does explain a lot, right, It's like, yo, man,
how can I really be that happy when I'm rooting
for a bunch of losing teams like that? Like I'm
at at eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Give me a break. So I had Mike. I said, Mike,
you have it open. Do you mind if I throw
you the crew here at Fox Sports Radio? And Mike
was kind enough to run the numbers and I did
everyone in the room. I didn't do you, Sam because
I don't think it registered anything. Iowa because I don't think.
I don't think that's in the equation. But Danny G,
(12:43):
I want to start with you now. Remember one hundred
is the most miserable fan. Danny G, as you know,
is a guy that roots for the Raiders, the Lakers,
and the Dodgers. Danny, not too shabby.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You're a forty eight forty eight, so you you you're
allowed like your Raiders are bringing that percentage up for sure.
Oh yeah, because the Lakers and Dodgers haven't give.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Three championships in the last five years between the Lakers
and Dodgers right now, Kavino, thank you Lakers and Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
By the Cavino, you're allowed to be a little more miserable.
You're allowed to be a little more miserable than Danny
because I popped in for you Yankees. And since you've
been in LA, you've been a Lakers fan. You claim
them enough. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
If there's any team in the NBA or any team
that I've adopted since being in Los Angeles is the
Lakers for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So you're at a fifty one. Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But you only put in two teams, right, Yeah, you
can put in as many as you think, you know,
necessary for you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Okay, Now for me, Mets forty nine ers, I'm gonna
seventy eight. Wow, So it's most of the Mets must
have been some Mets, but the forty nine ers that
getting close but never winning. The misery and that in expectation,
so they have a whole equation. So if you want
to plug in your teams just for fun though that
(14:06):
there's a there's an an app. Now you know how
I love to play with that playoff simulator. Cavino. Yeah,
now the misery simulator.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, here's the two takeaways I got. We got to
give our boy who's been talking about this for years.
On The Coveno Owners Show, Michael Azito the proper credit.
He invented this stat before ESPN made a whole little
algorithm to give.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You a credit.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So you get credit here on the Coveno and Rich Show,
mich Lizito. Everybody has been trying to calculate his own
misery for years, and then it makes me wonder, Rich,
is there is there a combination of losing teams that
would equal out to one hundred? Like what would equal exactly?
Like what would be the ultimate losing combination?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well, so can I Danny just just for a reference,
how bad the Raiders are really bringing you down? You're
a zero without them?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Wow? Wow? So you take the Raiders out and lead
Danny with the Lakers and Dodgers, he's like no ability
to be miserable. But if you factor the.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
If you put in the fact that he works for
Ben mallor too, it probably goes up even high.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Sure, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Misery with the Raiders. If you just look at the
Raiders and nothing else at the ninety.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Six, Well, Pete Carroll's going to turn that around.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Wow, Yeah, come on, Pete, I'm sitting here while you
guys are on while you guys are talking about this,
trying to find a reasonable list of teams. Right, So
you look at Chicago, you know, you get the White Sox, Bowls, Blackhawks,
and what do I missing?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Bears? Bears come Bears?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Right, you're seventy two?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Still not still not as bad as you. You know
who's I know who's right there up with you. I
put in our boss Scott, because I know he's always
bummed about He's He's Vikings, Twins, Tea Wolves, He's had
an eighty nine. Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You know, it makes you respect the fact that he's
a very positive guy even more so.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I guess the lesson here is that there's an equation
you can now put your teams into. So one of
one of your friends is like, you know, my team stinks.
You could actually mathematically prove who has the ability to
be more miserable. So if your buddy is rooting for
teams like the Mets and.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
The pro teams though, right, these are pro teams right,
Like like Iowa has been winning like a lot of
their games for the last forty five years. Like they're
not at bad, they're just have Winning a national championship
in football is really hard. It's like you're you're facing
off against like one hundred other teams.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, and you root for Caitlyn Clark. I was Sam
you got well like, but I grew up like rooty
for the Phillies. They won.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
They won a World Series in two thousand and eight. Like,
you know, I like the Dodgers. They won a couple
World Series. You know, I don't have a pro basketball team.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I like the Packers. You know who has these Packers
want to? Packers won a Super Bowl like fourteen years ago.
You know who has to reach stuff?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What if you factor in I have a pain and
he has teenage daughter.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And and and child support and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I hold on this ex pain in the s X wife,
teenage daughter. Oh you've you've just jumped up twenty five
point ah.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I knew the misery meter would go up if I
included that. But let me just throw one more in
and then we'll get into other stuff on the show.
But I just thought it was interesting that something we've
all probably speculated and imagine, like who has the right
to be the most miserable fan. You know, Mike who
runs his place, who Mike, Mike who runs his place,
has no ability at all, no ability at all to
(17:23):
be upset Mike. Would you believe Mike might think the
Panthers are bringing them down, but Big Mike is a
Lakers fan, Dodgers, LA, Kings and Panthers. And would you
believe the app says you should be elated eighteen? Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, because the lower the percentage to the greater choices you've
made as a fan. That's pretty good. I like the
misery meter. I believe they're calling it on ESPN. And
you could see if your friends and colleagues really do
have reasons to be annoyed and frustrated.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So essentially, yeah, if you just killed time, if you're
just killing time around the office and you are honestly
just counting down in the hour until you have to
go home, popping all your teams, popping your friends teams,
and really see who has the right to be more miserable?
And by the way, Mike, good talk Anyboddy, thanks man,
Thanks love you guys.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Sleeve. If you could beat me, I'm a loser.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm a loser.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Mike, do you think after last night you think our
Mets are going to slip out of the wild card
in the next couple days or what?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
They're terrible. I can't even talk about it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Mets are only one game up on the Reds right now,
which is wild so hard.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I know, you know, and again you're a fan, You're
not on the team, But it does affect your mood,
and it affects your confidence and psyche a little bit.
To be rooting for losing teams all the time, has
to because you don't feel like a winner when your
team sucks. And I know that because when your team wins,
you feel great. You feel good. So it does add
(18:51):
to the frustration levels. And we give Michael Zito all
the props and all the credit. We have the actual
inventor here on the Cavino and Rich Show.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I remember he would always do this. Uh so, hey,
are you miserable? Do you have the right to be miserable?
Let it go play along and do it yourself. And
by the way, just reminder, we are streaming live every
day on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page. We got
our own page. I said it yesterday. I want to
test this out. Let's see if we get a little spike.
Spot everyone right now, in this very moment, when we're
about to take a quick little break, go to YouTube
(19:20):
dot com, slash at Coveno and Rich FSR. Hit the
subscribe button. I want to see if we get a
little spike by the time we come back. Unless you
unless you're driving. Now, if you're driving, you can do
it too. Just be careful. Hand the phone. Hand the phone.
It's a crazy again. It's thanks for notice the way.
Hold on, Rich.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Everybody has a group text message with old school, high
school buddies or college friends. Yeah, send it to your
group message here and tell them me it's a good show.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Just hit subscribe. Check it out. We appreciate it. Yeah again,
YouTube dot com, slash at Coveno and Rich FSR, And
we got plenty to get to. We're gonna talk lot
of NFL today. Jalen Ramsey is in the news making
a transition from team to team, and there's an angle there.
We're gonna go old school today, give away some stuff
a lot coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio.
(20:11):
Covino and Rich Okay, let me stop you right there.
The Mets suck.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Great song. I was Sam it's really not, but I
told Sam to play it. I asked, I'm sorry, we
don't tell Sam what to do, but I asked politely
for him to play it because I feel like it
went with our discussion and I wanted to point out
how terrible this song was.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I really did.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Frustrated Incorporated Soul Asylum, nineteen ninety five. It's all about
the misery meter today. ESPN's Misery Meter, something that we've
talked about in the past, is now an official algorithm
on ESPN. You put in your teams and it tells
you how miserable you're allowed to be based on the percentage.
And our boy Michael Zito invented that anyone that leads
(21:07):
or should I say, leans into their misery I think
is a bad personality trait. Like I sort of hate that,
Like I don't mind the sort of aw shucks. I
root for a loser attitude like Mike has, but Mike's
a great guy. A lot of people let their misery
define their personality and ask what this song is sort
of about, And that's why I hate it even more. Like,
(21:28):
listen to this line they say, misery loves company. We
should start a company and make misery frustrated incorporated. Like
how corny?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Is that poetic? Philosophical?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's so corny, frustrated and incorporated, Like, no thanks, I
want no party or misery, and I don't want to
start a misery company frustrated incorporated.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well, there's a lot of NFL teams that are that
are hoping like Danny's. I was talking about you behind
your back, only because you're in the next room. But
when Big Mike was in here, I'm like Dan, he's
got his Raiders gear on every year. He's so optimistic,
but it could turn to misery real quick. Who did
the Raiders play Week one? Of the NFL the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
But Danny g doesn't let that misery define his person, No,
because he's a happy guy.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
He's a happy I think that's a winnable game.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
By the way, I don't mind it affecting you, but
don't ever let it find you.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
When I was in my really quick rich when I
was in my early twenties, I pissed off my co
host of the morning show I was on because after
a bad Raiders loss, I refused to do the sports
report on our Monday morning show.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Just refusal.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Yeah, and uh, and the general manager of the radio station.
He pulled me aside after the show because he heard
the co host complaining and he said, dude, does Al
Davis pay your bills? And I said no, and he's like, so,
don't let it affect your personality. The players after the game,
whether they win or lose, they're at a steak dinner celebrate,
still celebrating life and happy, and you're at home being miserable,
(22:57):
more miserable than them.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I would have been like Kennel, I was paying my bills,
you know, I had that thought.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yesterday I saw Devin Williams in the Yankees dugout like
playing slapass with one of the other relievers. Like he's smiling,
having a great time. I'm like, this guy is having
the worst season ever, responsible for half of the Yankees misery,
and here I am all mad about it, yet he's
having fun. I'm like, we take it too much.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
To heart, given your closer who's making tens of millions
of dollars smiling and laughing at Meanwhile, you're frustrated incorporated exactly. Yeah,
so cheah.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
We understand it affects you, don't let it define you
and check out your misery meter.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I'm gonna check out my misery meter. ESPN. What's up
I with Sam?
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I was just gonna say, Rich, didn't you bring that up?
That Juan Solo he's smiling and laughing too much and
having a great time.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Well to me, I don't mind. But I have fans.
I have friends like I have like met fan friends
on my group chat that when Wan Soto is in
the batter's box like chuckling and like, you know, give
a little elbow to the catcher, and you know Joku
with the umpire hey blue and these smiling I have
fans the friends that are like, why are we okay
(24:04):
with this? I'm like, what do you want? Do you
want want Soda to have a like a sad look
out his face until the Mets turn it around? Like
you gotta play loose man, I And remember these guys
may not even care as much as you do. Sometimes
I gotta ask Isaac Low and cron Isaac, I don't
even know your teams. In my mind, are you like
Rob Low? Do you just wear like an NFL hat?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
For me, it's for me. It's the teams that I
have that have logos on the checks I get so
I live and die with those teams like the Chargers,
Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League. But
I you know, that's actually a great question because my
team growing up as the La Kings, and I was
so traumatized by them losing in the Stanley Cup Finals
in nineteen ninety three, what thirty two years ago that
(24:47):
I'm like, you know, it'll be less heart wrenching to
be on the broadcasting side of it, because it's really
emotionally tough to.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
How you one of those guys that when you became
a broadcaster sort of put aside your fandom a little bit, yes,
because because there was less chance of pain that way.
Oh my god, you like the guy that's like I
don't you like the guy in the Bachelorette that's like,
I don't want to get hurt. You just say no,
don't run away from your emotions, Isaac. I mean, we
need to have a therapy session about this. Like, who
(25:15):
do you I assume Dodgers at one point are Angels.
You're West Coast guy, right, the.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Dodgers growing up? Lakers?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Growing up?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh my gosh, my team was the Kings, and my
total mood emotion.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
By emotionally giving up. Though, didn't you miss two in
the two thousands they won two Cups.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Since yeah, they win too Stanley Cups after they'd been
in existence for forty five years. They win too Stanley
Cups in three years. But by that time I was
like full broadcasters. So on the flip side, I didn't
I didn't put myself at the risk of the pain.
But I also didn't have the chance.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
To enjoy it the way I would have had I
been a fan Isaac's objective.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's called being an objective journalist that needs scared scared
I don't want to He doesn't want to open up again.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I doesn't want to open up. So Guy is Coveno
and Rich at our regular time. The past three days
we've been filling in for the Dan Patrick Show. If
you missed any of those shows, that's three hours every day,
three hours of the greatness that you get from CNR.
If you missed anything, catch to podcast search Covino and Rich,
follow the podcast, and of course our new YouTube stream
(26:18):
at Coveno and Rich FSR to watch us live. Let's
take a few phone calls, then we'll talk. Jalen Ramsey
Jalen Ramsey next eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Who We got h Let's go tug, Jalen Ramsey. Let's
let's get into that and then we'll Because I think
people just talk about their misery. I don't feel like
plugging people's teams. And you can do it on your own. Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, The Misery Meter is available now at ESPN. So
Jalen Ramsey again going from Miami to Pennsylvania, said, now
as a Steeler, I got rid of the rolls Royce
and I bought me a Ram truck.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I'm ready. So not only is he ready.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
For the new season and the new team, he's ready
to be a full on Pennsylvania blue collar kind of
guy and rich. We've gone to some Steeler super Bowls,
We've gone to some games in Pennsylvania. We're talking blue
collar dudes with mustaches and Ram trucks and that's just
sort of the lifestyle. So he's planning on leaning into it.
(27:17):
Is the vibe I'm getting. So again, got rid of
the rolls, Royce, bought a Ram truck. He's ready.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
So we ask you, do you feel like you yourself
are the type of person that lean into where you're
moving or living or do you feel like you bring
you there and then that you're just genuinely you all
the time? Like to me, someone popped immediately in my head,
Danny when we were talking about do you do you
(27:46):
go to a city and make that city your own
or do you adapt to the city. When Mike McDaniel
decided to coach the Dolphins, he became like an extra
off the set of Miami Vice, like he was a
drug lord, Like he was a villain in a random
the side of Miami scarface. Yes, it's a great example,
Mike McDaniel. I think it's cool. He's a funny personality.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
But you know, he let the hair grow, he got
a tan, he was he's wearing caprice.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
A lot of ankle or or a coach.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I think it's smart and good business to lean into
that city and win over some fans. And we saw
Bryce Harper do a tremendous job of that when he
went to Philadelphia. Right he was just like, yo, I'm
all about it. We're seeing Russell Wilson do a pretty
good job of that. Now just embracing He embraced Denver,
and we saw him now embracing New York like we've
seen him do a good campaign of Hey man, I'm
(28:38):
all about it, and I think you should. I think
that's good and I like what Jalen Ramsey's doing here.
So I love when athletes lean into the new city
and try to embrace the fans, therefore hopefully getting embraced
by them in return. I mean, in real life, Rich,
I think it's a little different. Like for me, I
don't feel like LA changed me much. I feel like
a lot of people in LA meet me and immediately
(28:59):
know him and East Coast guy by the way I act,
by the way I talk, by the way I lean,
And I think the only thing I really changed was
maybe like because health is such a priority in LA,
I think you just sort of roll that way. Because
if I still lived on the East Coast, I'd probably
be twenty pounds heavier with all the pizza, the Gobba
Gohal Taylor ham sangwiches.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
That's perhaps. I think diet will change you for sure,
basically your move. I do think sometimes when you're the
face and of an organization, quarterback, star player, the easiest
thing you could possibly do, the easiest thing you could do,
is ingratiate yourself to that city. All you got, Like
(29:40):
I mean Aaron Rodgers, who we love to make fun of.
I think we all agreed. The best thing Aaron Rodgers
has done over the last decade that no one could
disagree with was his little short tenure at the Jets.
Do you remember how it started? He was going to
Broadway play, sitting courtside at a Knicks game, did a
great job, you know, doing videos of him eating New
York City pizza. He bought a cool place in Jersey,
(30:01):
like he won over New York. And then of course
the injury and you know, under delivering on the field.
But he did all the right things leading up to it.
That's where he.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Lost the fans, but he did a good job again
leaning into it. So there's a few questions I hand here. First,
we commend Jalen Ramsey's move, but he's making changes to
win over the new fans. He's like, I'm not that
Miami guy in the roles, I'm that Pennsylvania guy with
the ram truck. Can you adapt to what are changes
you've Are there changes you've made? If you've moved, you
(30:31):
could let us know rich I'd do any come to
mind for you.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You know. I thought of this because you said something
the other day. Our buddy Nico, who a lot of
you guys met. He was at our Cavino on Rich convention.
One of our radio buds, Danny G. You get along
with Nico great. I've been with Sam. I've heard him
a few times now. He does mornings in Phoenix. I'm
glad you said that. Shout with him a few minutes
because he's awesome. Our boy Nico one of our old
school radio buds, actually a guy that was influential in
(30:54):
introducing Cavino and I. He was always brought you get
two together, right. He was I want to raise in Detroit,
But when he moved to New York, he was straight
up living in downtown Brooklyn, hipster New York City DJ
in the clubs. And now he got a great opportunity.
He's the morning guy on a country station and he's
like hop along Nico with a cowboy hat now. And
(31:15):
he dove into country music culture and he's all about
it now and he hangs with like country artists and stuff.
So that's the thing. Though he's not faking it. I
don't like when people fake it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I believe he's a natural chameleon, and he sort of
does become that person and he really does like it.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Yeah, in country that modern country music is top forty.
Now he's a top forty guy. Yeah, so his style
works even in that format.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
So I'm not saying be a phony blogoney, I'm saying,
if it's happening organically, that's great.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And think about it, Rich, what changes did you make? Again,
We're from the East Coast, New York, New Jersey. We've
been living in LA for over ten years now, well
over ten years for me. Do you think there's changing
significant changes you made now? Being a guy who lives
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'm a tans a little better, that's about it. I know,
that's really about it. You're not as pale as you
would have been. Yeah, you know, I thought I think
about Keith Hernandez a lot because his great mustache and
he's a Mets broadcaster every day. But you know, Keith
is a Bay Area guy, played for the Cardinals when
he went to New York City, and I bring I
brought up Keith a few times because he's a great
example of he did not want to go to New
(32:24):
York and it's you know, you hear about this in
all these eighties baseball things. He hated the idea he
was traded. He was an MVP World Series champion with
the Cardinals and he was traded to the Mets before
they popped in the eighties, and he wanted nothing to
do with it. He hated it. And then he said,
you know what, I'm going to become the guy that
moves to Manhattan. And he really embraced like the single
(32:45):
life as a star player in New York. And what
a Keith hernand is now. He's one of the most
legendary guys in New York sports over the last fifty years.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Hey, Rich, if you did live in Texas or worked
for a country radio station like our boy Nico, would you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Be hop along Dickie? Would you be a cowboy hat wearing,
cowboy boot wearing sort of guy? I think you know what,
I think I should do that anyway.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You know, let's go to Isaac. Let's think about this war.
Let's think of some players that have changed their vibe,
so to speak, the changes you've seen, the changes you've
made based on a move.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I do have one addendum to your Keith Hernandez illusion.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
How is this guy kiss, I'm Keith hernandez A. Yes,
I mean he was even in Seinfeld based in New York.
He really dove into I'm a New York guy.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
One of the Ray cameos in sitcom history by an athlete. Guys,
we have a ton of news today, a lot of
it involved in court rooms, and a lot of it
involving the Cleveland Browns. First, the Florida State Attorney's Office
today declined to file chargers against Brown's rookie running back
Quinshawn Judkins after he was accused of misdemeanor battery last month.
(34:00):
A short time ago, a grand jury in Collin County,
Texas has also declined to file charges against former Texas
receiver Isaiah Bond after he was accused of sexual assault
in April and subsequently was not selected in the NFL draft.
Bond announced on social media just a few minutes ago
that now that he's been cleared, he is signing with
(34:23):
the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim
Harbourn announced that Justin Herbert will start a quarterback Saturday
against the Rams and play a series or two. It'll
be his first career preseason appearance. Finally, Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Pennix Junior involved in controversy because of the following
seemingly innocuous statement he made during a press conference.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
They had a lot of words thoughout practice, so I
gave my words and just went a little bit too far.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
The controversy comes not from those words, but rather was
on the screen on WTOC television in Savannah, Georgia while
they were televising those words, because the graphic on the
screen showing Pennox's name had a rather unfortunate typographical error,
substituting the X in Pennox's name for the letter s.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Oh, you mean my favorite quarterback, Michael Penis Junior.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Guy, that's him. Sounds like he's on your fantasy team.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
That to you, good one, Isaac oh Man, Hey, we

nine on Fox. Like Rich said, we do this every Thursday.
We get you involved. And this story.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Is one that sweet of the nation. At a Van Nights, California.
So at a Van Nights, there's this guy, this resident called.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Gary, right Gary, his name is Gary boyard Zion Boyadzian.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Let's call him Gary B. How about that Gary Blast.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Gary train horns and all and all hours, this loud
ass train horn all hours.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Of the day, and neighbors, the residents in his neighborhood
calling him the neighbor from Hell to the point where
it's making national news, to the point where the cops
had to come and take them in. So this man's
mowing his lawn at two am, working on cars, banging
metal all hours of the night until the early morning,
and all the neighbors, Bob and Bernard and all these
(38:22):
people are coming saying he is the worst now, but
there's a flip side through the story that we're gonna
get to. But it made us think about the worst neighbors,
worst roommates ever of all time.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Now, before we get to those, I gotta ask. We
talked about this with Dan Byert. When when he's been
here doing the update? When is too early or too
late for anyone in your neighborhood to be doing any
type of work mowing lawns, construction, hammers and drills and
Revin cars and motorcycles? Do we do we have a time?
Because I'll be honest. The other day, it was a
(38:53):
Saturday morning and my next door neighbor must have been
having some landscaping or work done. There were things going
on on like seven thirty in the morning, and I
almost wanted to be like, if my neighbor wasn't a
kind person, I'm assuming it was like a one off
because they were just having work done seven thirty on
a Saturday. I almost wanted to get it out of
my house and be like, what that's are we doing here?
(39:14):
My mom used to say the nines coveno nine am
and nine pm. Yeah, you know, understandable.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
But what happens is the police showed up yesterday, right
because again it's such a big deal and like the
neighbors have had enough, the neighbor from hell, Gary, Well, it.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Finally went to the news. They found new reacted because
it made the news.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
And the police show up, and the lapd are telling,
like Fox eleven and all the local news outlets that
they can't really make a citation against Gary because the
officers need to hear the noise and observe the noise
for themselves. So he split, like the cops came. He
was out, But then he did tell a story as
(39:54):
to why he's making some of this noise, and we'll
get to that later, but right now, we want you
to start thinking about the the worst roommates, the worst
neighbors you ever had, the things they.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Used to do to get under your skin.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Have you ever had a neighbor that made you move probably,
and I'm sure there's a lot of stories like that.
Have you ever agreed to our roommate and totally regretted it? Well,

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Hold on, someone just passed me a note in class.
PS I'm horny. PS, I'm a horny.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Another good reference, Isaac was that you Isaac Lowancron on
the updates.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Hey, guys, what they don't know is I pass you
guys that note every day.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I know, so I know you're here. What is this surprise?
So we got the very sexy Isaac Lowan Crown.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
We got Iowa Sam on the Ones and Tuesday Danny
g super producing at eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox before we talk about Jalen Ramsey and Denzel Washington.
And I know you have a misery rating. You want
to get to rich real quick, right quick? Just a
random question.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It is the first day of school for kids in
Los Angeles. When you were.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
A pumpkin pie haircuted little kid on his first day
of school with his little backpack and his brand new sneakers,
all excited for the new year, what was your favorite
sporting game to play in the playground or in gym
class when you were rocking your penny on a throwback Thursday,
Because for me, honestly, it was the nerf football two
hand touched until one little nose picking kid broke his
(02:59):
finger and great school and we weren't allowed to play
ever again.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh. I was gonna say, I'm I'm a traditionalist. Could
you know? I feel like some old school kickball, a
little bouncy, a little bounce.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
But would you play like before school or in gym class?
Are both recess and gym cluss? Yeah, I mean kickball?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah? Do you want it straight or bouncy? A little
just a little bouncy, so I get some air. You know,
it's funny. Man. I like my women like I like
my kickballs, little bounces A little little changed changed much.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But when I was a kid, man and we'd be
waiting to go into school, nice kickballs, you know, when
you would wait there, like to go into class, we
would be allowed to play nerve football. Nerves were big
in the eighties. Man, he were blowing up. And then
one kid got hurt and that fun ended. So that
was my fun aside from kickball, you know what, Jim,
(03:52):
volleyball was always a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Can I can I give you another game? I feel
like I logged many hours playing and could also be
considered an adult game. Nowadays, Asses up? You guys ever
play asses up? Different different meaning as an adult, but
as a kid, I would say, I'm in Iowa, did
they play asses up? I don't. I don't know that one.
In some parts of town they called it just to
(04:14):
show you we haven't changed much.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Still love asses up, and we still like it bouncy,
that's true, but no asses up still bounce, so some
called it suicide. Where you throw either tennis ball or
a blue handball heavy blue hand against raetball.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Against the concrete wall outside the school. Now you'd feel
it if you bobbled it. You then had a dart
to the wall and you had to touch the wall
before someone pegged you at the ball or some played.
You had to hit the wall. Then if you spelled
out ass, you had to get up there like a
criminal with your hands against the wall, and every one
(04:48):
of your buddies had one shot to throw the ball
as hard as they can right try to hit you
right in the back.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
They allowed kids to play stuff like that before a
school started. Not anymore, And can I one more honorable
mention out there? This was more of a gym class
thing for us. I grew up in Union, New Jersey,
so our town revolved around baseball, football, things like that.
We didn't have a lacrosse team. We weren't that type
of town. We weren't like a rich town in that sense.
(05:16):
So if we ever played lacrosse, it was in gym
class with the pennies and the plastic equipment and everything.
And I'll tell you it was a lot of fun
playing that in gym. I was all county gym class.
I don't know if people know that but I took
it very serious, and I'd go back to his history
class with a sweaty ass.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
He was how it was you? I always said it
was funny like speaking of first day school gym class.
Two things stood out. How smelly that room. I don't
know if your gym had the same thing. It was
like a room where they kept the volleyballs, the kickballs,
old pennies. It smelled like a hobo's ass like it was.
(05:55):
It was Honestly, I used to look around, like, is
there a hobo sleep? But there was.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Actually there's actually a candle named after that. It's called
out Rancid Hobos.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
But there there was that room in Drifter Upside Drifter.
It was like a It smelled like a drifter's booty,
and you put on these pennies, and then I thought
the other crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Those pennies held CeNSE from the early sixties, man, when
we were just they were never washed.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Let me give you two more memories on a throwback Thursday.
Then we're going to get into whether or not you're
allowed to be miserable as a sports fan. I'll explain
two more memories.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You'd play as a kid for hours gym class recess
and your teacher would let you have like two seconds
of the waterfound.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like one two, next one. Now every little kid's got
their water model and they're you know, they're hydrated all day.
When we were kids, we were at a water fountain
like a dog like like trying to get one little
lick of the fountain, and the gym teacher were yelling you.
Is that where you introduced to ultimate frisbee too?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Before like a bunch of nerds in the early two
thousands started playing in leagues and things like that. Is
that the first time you played it in gym class?
Because that was fun too. Uh, Never in gym class.
That was a college quad thing. I remember people on
the quad in college go through frisbee. So all right,
on this day, I just want to say I used
to love playing the playground before school two hand touched
(07:16):
nerve football as an eighties kid. That was so much fun, dude.
And I wish all the kiddies and all the kiddos
throughout the nation a great, great school year, especially my kids.
She's a sophomore now, and I just hope she has
a good one because if she doesn't, I.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Got to deal with this. So the memories I wanted
to bring up, Like you said, pennies that room and
everyone's gym that smell like hobo's ass. Yea, the limited
water you were allowed. Meanwhile, now, like I said, every
kid goes to school with like multiple water bottles, hydration.
And the third thought, you sort of touched on it
when you were in junior higher high school. And not
(07:51):
to sound gross, but you were going through like those
early stinky stages of puberty where not every kid wore
de oder it yet, and that's when you would sweat
huavos and then just go right back to social studies class.
Like class, all sweaty, you'd go, you'd go run a
mile around the track, You'd stink, and then you'd be like,
(08:12):
all right, now go to biology Like what Yeah, if
you had any sense of athleticism or pride, you took
some of the game serious because it was fun.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And the funny part about that I will admit, because
I was guilty like everyone else of this.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
How many times did you take those stinky gym clothes?
You would put them in a supermarket plastic bag, put
in your locker and wear them again. Yea, yeah, I
smell that freedom smell. Rios, smell it. Happy first day
of school. Hopefully you had a great night. Hopefully you
didn't have a New York Mets winning six nothing yet
(08:46):
finding a way to lose type of night. I don't
know what team in baseball should be the most discouraged
now the Lake, the Dodgers, who are letting first place
slip away, The Mets who stink. Your Yankees, who who
are now like almost on the outside looking in. There's
only time your Mets lose. The Yankees horrible, I know.
(09:06):
So I bring this up because my buddy Mike, who
I went to, he remembers these days.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Guy, I went to elementary school, high school, and college
with who. My buddy Mike Losy never lives in upstate
New York. Date you went to every stage of life together.
Do you have a buddy like that?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
We played Little league together and we also went out
the bars in college together. Lifetime friend. He coaches soccer
baseball for his kids. Lives in upstate New York. I
bring him up because he's like a numbers guy. He's
one of those guys where he'd be like, hey, dude,
I punched some numbers in in the percentage. He's a
sports numbers. Nerdy guy and my buddy Mike used to
(09:48):
try to do an algorithm, like what person do you
know has the worst winning percentage based on their teams?
That was like his thing, like, yo, if you know
if you root for or you know, the Marlins, the
Miami Heat, if you add up all your team's like,
who's got the worst luck? Like who's who's really the
saddest fan? And my buddy Mike, is he on the line? Good?
(10:11):
Did he call it? What's up? Mike?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
There's no doubt in the world.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's me, Mike. Welcome to the show. Hey, buddy, Mike,
what give everyone? Give everyone your teams? Because you used
to take pride in being the saddest fan. Give everyone
your major teams.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I take pride in being the biggest loser. So we
start off with the Mets fair, miserable. Then we have the.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Islanders Islanders fair.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Then we go to the Jets.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Jets.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
When you say Islanders, do you mean Haku and Tama
Are you not.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The wrestlers because they were pretty good. And then as
far as uh so you did hockey basketball, Mike and that.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Basketball, yeah you figure, well, you're smart enough to be
a Knicks fan, right.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Nope, Nets fan, So our buddy Mike is Mets, Jets,
Nets Islanders.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He was inspired to figure out if he was the
biggest loser based on his choices because every team he
roots for is terrible. So I could see the train
of thought, like, what are the chances that I could
be rooting for the worst teams in all sports?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So when people bitcher can plain like, oh my teams stink,
and I'm oh, I'm bummed, I'm a mad fan. Mike
used to do this meth for us, and yesterday he goes, Yo,
what I've been doing for years. ESPN has now put
together what they're calling the Misery Rating. You plug in
your teams and they give you a rating on how
(11:42):
miserable you're allowed.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
To be, which is about of one hundred out of
one hundred. So one hundred you have, one hundred would
be the most miserable fan. And Mike, what is your score?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
So with those four you guys won't be surprised to
know that I am eighty nine on the misery Rating?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Nine eighty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Is Mike allowed to send this to his wife to
at least justify his moods?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh? Yes, I think you could.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I think you would have given me the time. They
too many eye rolls I wouldn't get.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But it does explain a lot, right, It's like, yo, man,
how can I really be that happy when I'm rooting
for a bunch of losing teams like that? Like I'm
at at eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Give me a break. So I had Mike. I said, Mike,
you have it open. Do you mind if I throw
you the crew here at Fox Sports Radio? And Mike
was kind enough to run the numbers and I did
everyone in the room. I didn't do you, Sam because
I don't think it registered anything. Iowa because I don't think.
I don't think that's in the equation. But Danny G,
(12:43):
I want to start with you now. Remember one hundred
is the most miserable fan. Danny G, as you know,
is a guy that roots for the Raiders, the Lakers,
and the Dodgers. Danny, not too shabby.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You're a forty eight forty eight, so you you you're
allowed like your Raiders are bringing that percentage up for sure.
Oh yeah, because the Lakers and Dodgers haven't give.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Three championships in the last five years between the Lakers
and Dodgers right now, Kavino, thank you Lakers and Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
By the Cavino, you're allowed to be a little more miserable.
You're allowed to be a little more miserable than Danny
because I popped in for you Yankees. And since you've
been in LA, you've been a Lakers fan. You claim
them enough. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
If there's any team in the NBA or any team
that I've adopted since being in Los Angeles is the
Lakers for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So you're at a fifty one. Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But you only put in two teams, right, Yeah, you
can put in as many as you think, you know,
necessary for you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Okay, Now for me, Mets forty nine ers, I'm gonna
seventy eight. Wow, So it's most of the Mets must
have been some Mets, but the forty nine ers that
getting close but never winning. The misery and that in expectation,
so they have a whole equation. So if you want
to plug in your teams just for fun though that
(14:06):
there's a there's an an app. Now you know how
I love to play with that playoff simulator. Cavino. Yeah,
now the misery simulator.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, here's the two takeaways I got. We got to
give our boy who's been talking about this for years.
On The Coveno Owners Show, Michael Azito the proper credit.
He invented this stat before ESPN made a whole little
algorithm to give.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You a credit.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So you get credit here on the Coveno and Rich Show,
mich Lizito. Everybody has been trying to calculate his own
misery for years, and then it makes me wonder, Rich,
is there is there a combination of losing teams that
would equal out to one hundred? Like what would equal exactly?
Like what would be the ultimate losing combination?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well, so can I Danny just just for a reference,
how bad the Raiders are really bringing you down? You're
a zero without them?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Wow? Wow? So you take the Raiders out and lead
Danny with the Lakers and Dodgers, he's like no ability
to be miserable. But if you factor the.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
If you put in the fact that he works for
Ben mallor too, it probably goes up even high.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Sure, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Misery with the Raiders. If you just look at the
Raiders and nothing else at the ninety.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Six, Well, Pete Carroll's going to turn that around.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Wow, Yeah, come on, Pete, I'm sitting here while you
guys are on while you guys are talking about this,
trying to find a reasonable list of teams. Right, So
you look at Chicago, you know, you get the White Sox, Bowls, Blackhawks,
and what do I missing?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Bears? Bears come Bears?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Right, you're seventy two?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Still not still not as bad as you. You know
who's I know who's right there up with you. I
put in our boss Scott, because I know he's always
bummed about He's He's Vikings, Twins, Tea Wolves, He's had
an eighty nine. Yeah, that's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You know, it makes you respect the fact that he's
a very positive guy even more so.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I guess the lesson here is that there's an equation
you can now put your teams into. So one of
one of your friends is like, you know, my team stinks.
You could actually mathematically prove who has the ability to
be more miserable. So if your buddy is rooting for
teams like the Mets and.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
The pro teams though, right, these are pro teams right,
Like like Iowa has been winning like a lot of
their games for the last forty five years. Like they're
not at bad, they're just have Winning a national championship
in football is really hard. It's like you're you're facing
off against like one hundred other teams.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, and you root for Caitlyn Clark. I was Sam
you got well like, but I grew up like rooty
for the Phillies. They won.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
They won a World Series in two thousand and eight. Like,
you know, I like the Dodgers. They won a couple
World Series. You know, I don't have a pro basketball team.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I like the Packers. You know who has these Packers
want to? Packers won a Super Bowl like fourteen years ago.
You know who has to reach stuff?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
What if you factor in I have a pain and
he has teenage daughter.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And and and child support and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I hold on this ex pain in the s X wife,
teenage daughter. Oh you've you've just jumped up twenty five
point ah.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I knew the misery meter would go up if I
included that. But let me just throw one more in
and then we'll get into other stuff on the show.
But I just thought it was interesting that something we've
all probably speculated and imagine, like who has the right
to be the most miserable fan. You know, Mike who
runs his place, who Mike, Mike who runs his place,
has no ability at all, no ability at all to
(17:23):
be upset Mike. Would you believe Mike might think the
Panthers are bringing them down, but Big Mike is a
Lakers fan, Dodgers, LA, Kings and Panthers. And would you
believe the app says you should be elated eighteen? Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, because the lower the percentage to the greater choices you've
made as a fan. That's pretty good. I like the
misery meter. I believe they're calling it on ESPN. And
you could see if your friends and colleagues really do
have reasons to be annoyed and frustrated.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So essentially, yeah, if you just killed time, if you're
just killing time around the office and you are honestly
just counting down in the hour until you have to
go home, popping all your teams, popping your friends teams,
and really see who has the right to be more miserable?
And by the way, Mike, good talk Anyboddy, thanks man,
Thanks love you guys.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Sleeve. If you could beat me, I'm a loser.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm a loser.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Mike, do you think after last night you think our
Mets are going to slip out of the wild card
in the next couple days or what?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
They're terrible. I can't even talk about it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Mets are only one game up on the Reds right now,
which is wild so hard.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I know, you know, and again you're a fan, You're
not on the team, But it does affect your mood,
and it affects your confidence and psyche a little bit.
To be rooting for losing teams all the time, has
to because you don't feel like a winner when your
team sucks. And I know that because when your team wins,
you feel great. You feel good. So it does add
(18:51):
to the frustration levels. And we give Michael Zito all
the props and all the credit. We have the actual
inventor here on the Cavino and Rich Show.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I remember he would always do this. Uh so, hey,
are you miserable? Do you have the right to be miserable?
Let it go play along and do it yourself. And
by the way, just reminder, we are streaming live every
day on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page. We got
our own page. I said it yesterday. I want to
test this out. Let's see if we get a little spike.
Spot everyone right now, in this very moment, when we're
about to take a quick little break, go to YouTube
(19:20):
dot com, slash at Coveno and Rich FSR. Hit the
subscribe button. I want to see if we get a
little spike by the time we come back. Unless you
unless you're driving. Now, if you're driving, you can do
it too. Just be careful. Hand the phone. Hand the phone.
It's a crazy again. It's thanks for notice the way.
Hold on, Rich.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Everybody has a group text message with old school, high
school buddies or college friends. Yeah, send it to your
group message here and tell them me it's a good show.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Just hit subscribe. Check it out. We appreciate it. Yeah again,
YouTube dot com, slash at Coveno and Rich FSR, And
we got plenty to get to. We're gonna talk lot
of NFL today. Jalen Ramsey is in the news making
a transition from team to team, and there's an angle there.
We're gonna go old school today, give away some stuff
a lot coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio.
(20:11):
Covino and Rich Okay, let me stop you right there.
The Mets suck.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Great song. I was Sam it's really not, but I
told Sam to play it. I asked, I'm sorry, we
don't tell Sam what to do, but I asked politely
for him to play it because I feel like it
went with our discussion and I wanted to point out
how terrible this song was.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I really did.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Frustrated Incorporated Soul Asylum, nineteen ninety five. It's all about
the misery meter today. ESPN's Misery Meter, something that we've
talked about in the past, is now an official algorithm
on ESPN. You put in your teams and it tells
you how miserable you're allowed to be based on the percentage.
And our boy Michael Zito invented that anyone that leads
(21:07):
or should I say, leans into their misery I think
is a bad personality trait. Like I sort of hate that,
Like I don't mind the sort of aw shucks. I
root for a loser attitude like Mike has, but Mike's
a great guy. A lot of people let their misery
define their personality and ask what this song is sort
of about, And that's why I hate it even more. Like,
(21:28):
listen to this line they say, misery loves company. We
should start a company and make misery frustrated incorporated. Like
how corny?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Is that poetic? Philosophical?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's so corny, frustrated and incorporated, Like, no thanks, I
want no party or misery, and I don't want to
start a misery company frustrated incorporated.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well, there's a lot of NFL teams that are that
are hoping like Danny's. I was talking about you behind
your back, only because you're in the next room. But
when Big Mike was in here, I'm like Dan, he's
got his Raiders gear on every year. He's so optimistic,
but it could turn to misery real quick. Who did
the Raiders play Week one? Of the NFL the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
But Danny g doesn't let that misery define his person, No,
because he's a happy guy.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
He's a happy I think that's a winnable game.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
By the way, I don't mind it affecting you, but
don't ever let it find you.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
When I was in my really quick rich when I
was in my early twenties, I pissed off my co
host of the morning show I was on because after
a bad Raiders loss, I refused to do the sports
report on our Monday morning show.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Just refusal.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Yeah, and uh, and the general manager of the radio station.
He pulled me aside after the show because he heard
the co host complaining and he said, dude, does Al
Davis pay your bills? And I said no, and he's like, so,
don't let it affect your personality. The players after the game,
whether they win or lose, they're at a steak dinner celebrate,
still celebrating life and happy, and you're at home being miserable,
(22:57):
more miserable than them.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I would have been like Kennel, I was paying my bills,
you know, I had that thought.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yesterday I saw Devin Williams in the Yankees dugout like
playing slapass with one of the other relievers. Like he's smiling,
having a great time. I'm like, this guy is having
the worst season ever, responsible for half of the Yankees misery,
and here I am all mad about it, yet he's
having fun. I'm like, we take it too much.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
To heart, given your closer who's making tens of millions
of dollars smiling and laughing at Meanwhile, you're frustrated incorporated exactly. Yeah,
so cheah.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
We understand it affects you, don't let it define you
and check out your misery meter.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I'm gonna check out my misery meter. ESPN. What's up
I with Sam?
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I was just gonna say, Rich, didn't you bring that up?
That Juan Solo he's smiling and laughing too much and
having a great time.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Well to me, I don't mind. But I have fans.
I have friends like I have like met fan friends
on my group chat that when Wan Soto is in
the batter's box like chuckling and like, you know, give
a little elbow to the catcher, and you know Joku
with the umpire hey blue and these smiling I have
fans the friends that are like, why are we okay
(24:04):
with this? I'm like, what do you want? Do you
want want Soda to have a like a sad look
out his face until the Mets turn it around? Like
you gotta play loose man, I And remember these guys
may not even care as much as you do. Sometimes
I gotta ask Isaac Low and cron Isaac, I don't
even know your teams. In my mind, are you like
Rob Low? Do you just wear like an NFL hat?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
For me, it's for me. It's the teams that I
have that have logos on the checks I get so
I live and die with those teams like the Chargers,
Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League. But
I you know, that's actually a great question because my
team growing up as the La Kings, and I was
so traumatized by them losing in the Stanley Cup Finals
in nineteen ninety three, what thirty two years ago that
(24:47):
I'm like, you know, it'll be less heart wrenching to
be on the broadcasting side of it, because it's really
emotionally tough to.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
How you one of those guys that when you became
a broadcaster sort of put aside your fandom a little bit, yes,
because because there was less chance of pain that way.
Oh my god, you like the guy that's like I
don't you like the guy in the Bachelorette that's like,
I don't want to get hurt. You just say no,
don't run away from your emotions, Isaac. I mean, we
need to have a therapy session about this. Like, who
(25:15):
do you I assume Dodgers at one point are Angels.
You're West Coast guy, right, the.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Dodgers growing up? Lakers?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Growing up?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh my gosh, my team was the Kings, and my
total mood emotion.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
By emotionally giving up. Though, didn't you miss two in
the two thousands they won two Cups.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Since yeah, they win too Stanley Cups after they'd been
in existence for forty five years. They win too Stanley
Cups in three years. But by that time I was
like full broadcasters. So on the flip side, I didn't
I didn't put myself at the risk of the pain.
But I also didn't have the chance.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
To enjoy it the way I would have had I
been a fan Isaac's objective.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's called being an objective journalist that needs scared scared
I don't want to He doesn't want to open up again.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I doesn't want to open up. So Guy is Coveno
and Rich at our regular time. The past three days
we've been filling in for the Dan Patrick Show. If
you missed any of those shows, that's three hours every day,
three hours of the greatness that you get from CNR.
If you missed anything, catch to podcast search Covino and Rich,
follow the podcast, and of course our new YouTube stream
(26:18):
at Coveno and Rich FSR to watch us live. Let's
take a few phone calls, then we'll talk. Jalen Ramsey
Jalen Ramsey next eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Who We got h Let's go tug, Jalen Ramsey. Let's
let's get into that and then we'll Because I think
people just talk about their misery. I don't feel like
plugging people's teams. And you can do it on your own. Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, The Misery Meter is available now at ESPN. So
Jalen Ramsey again going from Miami to Pennsylvania, said, now
as a Steeler, I got rid of the rolls Royce
and I bought me a Ram truck.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I'm ready. So not only is he ready.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
For the new season and the new team, he's ready
to be a full on Pennsylvania blue collar kind of
guy and rich. We've gone to some Steeler super Bowls,
We've gone to some games in Pennsylvania. We're talking blue
collar dudes with mustaches and Ram trucks and that's just
sort of the lifestyle. So he's planning on leaning into it.
(27:17):
Is the vibe I'm getting. So again, got rid of
the rolls, Royce, bought a Ram truck. He's ready.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
So we ask you, do you feel like you yourself
are the type of person that lean into where you're
moving or living or do you feel like you bring
you there and then that you're just genuinely you all
the time? Like to me, someone popped immediately in my head,
Danny when we were talking about do you do you
(27:46):
go to a city and make that city your own
or do you adapt to the city. When Mike McDaniel
decided to coach the Dolphins, he became like an extra
off the set of Miami Vice, like he was a
drug lord, Like he was a villain in a random
the side of Miami scarface. Yes, it's a great example,
Mike McDaniel. I think it's cool. He's a funny personality.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
But you know, he let the hair grow, he got
a tan, he was he's wearing caprice.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
A lot of ankle or or a coach.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I think it's smart and good business to lean into
that city and win over some fans. And we saw
Bryce Harper do a tremendous job of that when he
went to Philadelphia. Right he was just like, yo, I'm
all about it. We're seeing Russell Wilson do a pretty
good job of that. Now just embracing He embraced Denver,
and we saw him now embracing New York like we've
seen him do a good campaign of Hey man, I'm
(28:38):
all about it, and I think you should. I think
that's good and I like what Jalen Ramsey's doing here.
So I love when athletes lean into the new city
and try to embrace the fans, therefore hopefully getting embraced
by them in return. I mean, in real life, Rich,
I think it's a little different. Like for me, I
don't feel like LA changed me much. I feel like
a lot of people in LA meet me and immediately
(28:59):
know him and East Coast guy by the way I act,
by the way I talk, by the way I lean,
And I think the only thing I really changed was
maybe like because health is such a priority in LA,
I think you just sort of roll that way. Because
if I still lived on the East Coast, I'd probably
be twenty pounds heavier with all the pizza, the Gobba
Gohal Taylor ham sangwiches.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
That's perhaps. I think diet will change you for sure,
basically your move. I do think sometimes when you're the
face and of an organization, quarterback, star player, the easiest
thing you could possibly do, the easiest thing you could do,
is ingratiate yourself to that city. All you got, Like
(29:40):
I mean Aaron Rodgers, who we love to make fun of.
I think we all agreed. The best thing Aaron Rodgers
has done over the last decade that no one could
disagree with was his little short tenure at the Jets.
Do you remember how it started? He was going to
Broadway play, sitting courtside at a Knicks game, did a
great job, you know, doing videos of him eating New
York City pizza. He bought a cool place in Jersey,
(30:01):
like he won over New York. And then of course
the injury and you know, under delivering on the field.
But he did all the right things leading up to it.
That's where he.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Lost the fans, but he did a good job again
leaning into it. So there's a few questions I hand here. First,
we commend Jalen Ramsey's move, but he's making changes to
win over the new fans. He's like, I'm not that
Miami guy in the roles, I'm that Pennsylvania guy with
the ram truck. Can you adapt to what are changes
you've Are there changes you've made? If you've moved, you
(30:31):
could let us know rich I'd do any come to
mind for you.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You know. I thought of this because you said something
the other day. Our buddy Nico, who a lot of
you guys met. He was at our Cavino on Rich convention.
One of our radio buds, Danny G. You get along
with Nico great. I've been with Sam. I've heard him
a few times now. He does mornings in Phoenix. I'm
glad you said that. Shout with him a few minutes
because he's awesome. Our boy Nico one of our old
school radio buds, actually a guy that was influential in
(30:54):
introducing Cavino and I. He was always brought you get
two together, right. He was I want to raise in Detroit,
But when he moved to New York, he was straight
up living in downtown Brooklyn, hipster New York City DJ
in the clubs. And now he got a great opportunity.
He's the morning guy on a country station and he's
like hop along Nico with a cowboy hat now. And
(31:15):
he dove into country music culture and he's all about
it now and he hangs with like country artists and stuff.
So that's the thing. Though he's not faking it. I
don't like when people fake it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I believe he's a natural chameleon, and he sort of
does become that person and he really does like it.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Yeah, in country that modern country music is top forty.
Now he's a top forty guy. Yeah, so his style
works even in that format.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
So I'm not saying be a phony blogoney, I'm saying,
if it's happening organically, that's great.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And think about it, Rich, what changes did you make? Again,
We're from the East Coast, New York, New Jersey. We've
been living in LA for over ten years now, well
over ten years for me. Do you think there's changing
significant changes you made now? Being a guy who lives
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'm a tans a little better, that's about it. I know,
that's really about it. You're not as pale as you
would have been. Yeah, you know, I thought I think
about Keith Hernandez a lot because his great mustache and
he's a Mets broadcaster every day. But you know, Keith
is a Bay Area guy, played for the Cardinals when
he went to New York City, and I bring I
brought up Keith a few times because he's a great
example of he did not want to go to New
(32:24):
York and it's you know, you hear about this in
all these eighties baseball things. He hated the idea he
was traded. He was an MVP World Series champion with
the Cardinals and he was traded to the Mets before
they popped in the eighties, and he wanted nothing to
do with it. He hated it. And then he said,
you know what, I'm going to become the guy that
moves to Manhattan. And he really embraced like the single
(32:45):
life as a star player in New York. And what
a Keith hernand is now. He's one of the most
legendary guys in New York sports over the last fifty years.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Hey, Rich, if you did live in Texas or worked
for a country radio station like our boy Nico, would you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Be hop along Dickie? Would you be a cowboy hat wearing,
cowboy boot wearing sort of guy? I think you know what,
I think I should do that anyway.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You know, let's go to Isaac. Let's think about this war.
Let's think of some players that have changed their vibe,
so to speak, the changes you've seen, the changes you've
made based on a move.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I do have one addendum to your Keith Hernandez illusion.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
How is this guy kiss, I'm Keith hernandez A. Yes,
I mean he was even in Seinfeld based in New York.
He really dove into I'm a New York guy.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
One of the Ray cameos in sitcom history by an athlete. Guys,
we have a ton of news today, a lot of
it involved in court rooms, and a lot of it
involving the Cleveland Browns. First, the Florida State Attorney's Office
today declined to file chargers against Brown's rookie running back
Quinshawn Judkins after he was accused of misdemeanor battery last month.
(34:00):
A short time ago, a grand jury in Collin County,
Texas has also declined to file charges against former Texas
receiver Isaiah Bond after he was accused of sexual assault
in April and subsequently was not selected in the NFL draft.
Bond announced on social media just a few minutes ago
that now that he's been cleared, he is signing with
(34:23):
the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim
Harbourn announced that Justin Herbert will start a quarterback Saturday
against the Rams and play a series or two. It'll
be his first career preseason appearance. Finally, Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Pennix Junior involved in controversy because of the following
seemingly innocuous statement he made during a press conference.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
They had a lot of words thoughout practice, so I
gave my words and just went a little bit too far.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
The controversy comes not from those words, but rather was
on the screen on WTOC television in Savannah, Georgia while
they were televising those words, because the graphic on the
screen showing Pennox's name had a rather unfortunate typographical error,
substituting the X in Pennox's name for the letter s.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Oh, you mean my favorite quarterback, Michael Penis Junior.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Guy, that's him. Sounds like he's on your fantasy team.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
That to you, good one, Isaac oh Man, Hey, we
got more Covino on Rich. Thank you, Isaac.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, so the most inclusive show on radio invites you
to call and say what's up? Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Like Rich said, we do this every Thursday.
We get you involved. And this story.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Is one that sweet of the nation. At a Van Nights, California.
So at a Van Nights, there's this guy, this resident called.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Gary, right Gary, his name is Gary boyard Zion Boyadzian.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Let's call him Gary B. How about that Gary Blast.
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Gary train horns and all and all hours, this loud
ass train horn all hours.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Of the day, and neighbors, the residents in his neighborhood
calling him the neighbor from Hell to the point where
it's making national news, to the point where the cops
had to come and take them in. So this man's
mowing his lawn at two am, working on cars, banging
metal all hours of the night until the early morning,
and all the neighbors, Bob and Bernard and all these
(38:22):
people are coming saying he is the worst now, but
there's a flip side through the story that we're gonna
get to. But it made us think about the worst neighbors,
worst roommates ever of all time.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Now, before we get to those, I gotta ask. We
talked about this with Dan Byert. When when he's been
here doing the update? When is too early or too
late for anyone in your neighborhood to be doing any
type of work mowing lawns, construction, hammers and drills and
Revin cars and motorcycles? Do we do we have a time?
Because I'll be honest. The other day, it was a
(38:53):
Saturday morning and my next door neighbor must have been
having some landscaping or work done. There were things going
on on like seven thirty in the morning, and I
almost wanted to be like, if my neighbor wasn't a
kind person, I'm assuming it was like a one off
because they were just having work done seven thirty on
a Saturday. I almost wanted to get it out of
my house and be like, what that's are we doing here?
(39:14):
My mom used to say the nines coveno nine am
and nine pm. Yeah, you know, understandable.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
But what happens is the police showed up yesterday, right
because again it's such a big deal and like the
neighbors have had enough, the neighbor from hell, Gary, Well, it.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Finally went to the news. They found new reacted because
it made the news.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
And the police show up, and the lapd are telling,
like Fox eleven and all the local news outlets that
they can't really make a citation against Gary because the
officers need to hear the noise and observe the noise
for themselves. So he split, like the cops came. He
was out, But then he did tell a story as
(39:54):
to why he's making some of this noise, and we'll
get to that later, but right now, we want you
to start thinking about the the worst roommates, the worst
neighbors you ever had, the things they.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Used to do to get under your skin.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Have you ever had a neighbor that made you move probably,
and I'm sure there's a lot of stories like that.
Have you ever agreed to our roommate and totally regretted it? Well,
let's share some of your weak ass stories. Next right here,
cave you know and rich On FSR
