Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, thanks for listening to the Covino and Rich podcast.
Be sure to catch us live every weekday from five
to seven Eastern to the four Pacific on Fox Sports Radio.
Find your local station for Comedo Rich at Fox Sports
Radio dot com, or stream us live every day on
the iHeartRadio app. It's like searching FSR. It's a big day.
Oh yeah, it's Noonti magazine there and yep, the Yankees
(00:25):
got Austin Slater. Not O'Neill Cruz, who I was hoping for.
But hey, cruise, you getting that guy. That's funny why
he's named after Paul O'Neill. He should be a Yankee.
Same anyway. I hope you're enjoying your MLB. Tomorrow's the deadline.
So it's deadline Eve, everybody. Covino and Rich on Fox
Sports Radio Eve too, football Eve because well starts tomorrow,
(00:50):
broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio out here
in the mean streets of La. We got Iowa, Sam,
we got Danny g Monty Belanos spots on the videos
Fox Sports Radios YouTube. We're Cavino and Rich turning your
hump day into a hump night. Oh I like that,
I will say I want everyone to note over the
(01:10):
next twenty four hours, it's gonna happen once in your life.
So when it happens, I want you to think of me.
Your friend is going to talk about the trade your
team should make, and they're going to be so ridiculous
about what they want to get for how little they
give up. It's my biggest pet peeve around trade deadline time.
Your team will always be like, you know, we should
(01:31):
try to get and they'll say something like we should
try to get like Paul Schimes from the Pirates, and
what do you want to give up a couple of
minor leaguers people we don't know. Idiotic fans now works
all do this every year, especially in baseball and basketball,
and the trade deadline approaches, they'll be like, we should
give up, and they'll talk about like bunk middle relief
(01:51):
guys and they want to get a slugger from another team.
So you'll hear it happen at least once over the
next twenty four hours, depending on the moves that are made,
shows you how much their heart's really in it, in
my opinion, and the Yankees no offense. The guy's a
big leaguer, so my opinion doesn't matter much, and I
hope he lights it up. But Austin Slater doesn't say
(02:12):
that the Yankees, you're really going for it. In my opinion,
we've talked about this with behind the scenes people GMS
of teams. By the way, he might end up being
one of my favorite players that I root for. But
that's how I feel. I think when you hear GM
speak and we've we've spoke to people behind the scenes before,
where fans don't realize that there's so many things that
need to happen. First of all, these other players need
(02:35):
to be available, they need to want what you're giving up,
and it all needs to work out so perfectly. There's
money considerations involved, Like just because you're like, man, who's
the third base? When you did want he just got
hit Blay Pitch Suarez I call him, Eugenium, calls him Eugenio.
(02:57):
I call him Eugene, calls him eugeniore Yo, that kid's
a stud player, right, he has like thirty something home
runs already, he has a busted hand. No, here's the thing.
What if the Yankees like, Yo, we want Suarez, And
what if they say right there, uh, Yankees front off.
This is what Rich my father says. Everything's negotiable. Yeah,
(03:18):
this isn't Pee Wee's big adventure. Everybody's got a price.
You're not the You're not the Buckston's what if? Uh?
What if your dude Brian Cashman's like, yeah, I'm not
giving up what you want. Then it's a no deal.
And then what do you rather? Do you want to
getrez If it means the Yankees giving up all their
prospects and maybe one guy on the roster, we'll see
(03:39):
the moves. We'll talk about it tomorrow in for the Herd,
Covino and Rich, so tune in early tomorrow. But we
got lots to get to this hour midweek major the
biggest stories in sports and pop culture, Mike's Wednesday Words
of Wisdom. We will be giving out prizes in the
form of IOUs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So we'll explain.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, we'll explain. But you promised we talk NFL Power Rankings,
like you said, it's NFL Eve. Yeah, so let's get
into it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah. This says the twenty twenty five NFL Power Rankings,
according to NFL. On Fox, they put this out. One
of their lead NFL guys, Ralph Facciano. He compiled this
fet on middle name Gabao. So NFL on Fox, I
have it in front of me, one through fifteen. I'll
take from you, guys, see how good you are.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Let me pull up the stand, Let me pull up
the riches. Cheating, already cheating. I'm just looking at the division.
So I got my right gate here. Top fifteen you say, huh,
Top fifteen NFL teams going into preseason, no particular order. Well, yeah,
I have the fifteen. But yeah, you guys can just
guess the top ten and where you think they would start.
The Eagles number one, bam.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Not that hard.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But yeah, I'm gonna say just based on not much
as change of anything. They tried to revamp a little bit,
the Revenge Tour, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Chiefs number three on the list.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Better believe it. Whoa Mama, Chubby? Number one?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So who do you think is number two?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Then number two? Lamar Jackson and Company, Baltimore. Boom, I'll
go Buffalo Bills number four, bam. All right. So now
that we got that out of the way, it's a
little harder.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Now let's dive in a little more. I think there
is a sentiment that Detroit will remain very competitive.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, I was surprised by this. They have Detroit number nine.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Wow. All right, I'm going out on a limb here,
and I'm saying, especially after fresh after watching quarterback, the
Bengals were so close to so many games, luck has
to swing their way a little more this year. Burrow's
gonna bring it. Bengals gotta be in it.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You guys are going in reverse order now. They have
Bengals number eight.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Okay, okay, all right, let's gotta close it down seven
to four. Let's keep that reverse going. And I don't
want to be a Homer, but they have the easiest
softest schedule in the history of schedules, and they're healthy
and brock Perty sound the deal. I think the Niners
are still so very in the mix.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
This is going to grind your gears, rich Fox. The
power rankings here by Ralph and Company have the Niners
at number eighteen.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
W What, yeah, we need a break Ice, Richard Hole.
That is wild, dude.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Your Niners are closer to my Raiders than the Eagles
at number one.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yo, dare I say this is the most bunk thing
I've heard ever. I think you were kind of expecting
this though, because I thought you were gonna say, oh, Rich,
they stuck in the number twelve or thirteen. Oh no.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
A couple of weeks ago you said, a lot of
people have counted your team out going into this.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I promise you this. There's a reason why the Niners
over under in Vegas. I think it's eleven and a
half or twelve games. They may flounder in the postseason,
but they're gonna be an inflated team this year because
when I tell you, look at the forty nine er schedule,
they don't play the Eagles, they don't play Buffalo, they
don't play Baltimore, they don't play the Chiefs. The Niners
don't play They might as well be playing like the
(07:03):
Cults every week. They honestly the Cardinals their divisions of
the week. I mean, the Rams certainly must be on
this stupid list.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Then no Wammy's, no Wami's. You guys have one strike.
So Rams, the Rams, Rams are number twelve, Okay, so
they're in the top fifteen.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Washington Commanders have to be shooting up boom continuing to
go backwards there number seven, Damn, I'm bringing the boom.
Bro who you got rich I got, I know, I
got the next one? Should I just say it? I
think there's a lot of people high on the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
This year Buccaneers at number eleven on their.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay, so they're there. There's people that think the Bucks
are better than the nine. Yeah, there's a lot of
buzz on the Bucks and Baker Mayfield, he makes people better.
So we're looking for number.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You still have five, six, ten, and thirteen through fifteen.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Hmmm, nommy, nommy, no, emmy, someone here's the problem. Someone's
got to come out of the AFC South, and I
think none of them deserve it. Houston, Houston, Texans number
thirteen they got there, you go Texans. Yeah, we got
to find number five and number six is someone inflating?
(08:17):
Oh I'm sorry. Does give me people that are hiring
the Packers because they always are packers?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yes, number five?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, packers. You know, I think they love.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Your boy Golden the new wide receiver there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
What about? What about they finally think the Chargers will
get it together?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Chargers number ten, right, always always in the top ten
every preseason, though.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Many Chargers top ten, right, So we we're missing number six, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. Yep,
so has to be like, come on, man, are you serious?
Do we get we need six thirteen, fourteen and fifteen
or not six fourteen and fifteen?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Still? Who's thirteen thirteen? Texans?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I said that out? You're right? Yes, so we have
one strike with the Niners. That's embarrassing. You know, I'm
fine with that strike. Are we thinking Bears are finally
no naked? It? Don't give that's a second strike? I think.
I don't know. Man, there's always gonna be like a
sleeper pag no. Because remember why lists are made. Listener
made so people discussed. So they're gonna like, you're gonna
(09:13):
be like Bears are number six, Green Bay and the
Lions are on this list. That's two teams in there, right, Sorry,
don't count that one after that? All right, you gotta
someone's gonna come out of the South.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And you said, by the way, smart decision dub Bears
number seventeen.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh good, Okay, see, I'm feeling good about that. I'm
just thinking there's gonna be once surprise. I'm gonna give
you one because I think, oh no, because we've already
said it, I'm gonna say it anyway, Denver Broncos just
outside at number sixteen. Sorry sorry, second strike fairly better
than the Bears.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Pack down to your last strike, and you have three
teams left on the board.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
All right, we're gonna have to discuss before we answer
to you, right right, So can we know we need
five and six? No? No, we have number We are
missing number six, number six, six, fourteen and fifteen. So
two are borderline teams and one is clearly top ten
and we're just missing it. I'm gonna look at I'm
gonna be so aggravated when I figure out who we're
(10:09):
thinking of Titans. No, if you tell me it's it's
not those, it's not the Seahawks, you can't tell me
to see it. But then again, if they're ranking the
nine or so low, oh, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Who it is.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I know who it is. They're setting up Dak Prescott.
It's the Cowboy because they're Sancer. No, because if Vega,
they're Vegas over under is seven wins there Vegas says
they're gonna be seven. But these lists, there's always gonna
be a surprise on the list, Like, come on, man,
he can't be serious. That's why they do these dumb
ass lists. There's gotta be a there's not a lot
(10:38):
of teams left that are even Like, in contention of.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
The conversations yesterday when we were talking about the Cowboys,
I ran it through the chat CHEPT predictor No, no,
the chat GPT says the Cowboys could go nine and
eight this season.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh Aaron Rodgers, Steelers, don't you dare? Yeah? That's you
locked it in And the Steelers are number six fucking.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
So wait, wait, so what do we need three to fourteen,
fourteen and fifteen. We have one strike down? They have
one strike left?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You got to decide, is Michael Pennock junior with Atlanta
gonna do? Is he respected more than you? Gotta think?
Who are they respecting more than the forty nine Ers
and Bears? Because aren't the forty nine Ers and Bears
what like seventeen and eighteen, sixteen and seventeen or is
on the rent?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Sixteen? So the outside looking in now, seventeen and.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Eighteen, Broncos at sixteen, Bears at seventeen, Niners at eighteen.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So Broncos Bears in niners. That's surprising. All three of
those teams could very well be played. Still think the
Cowboys are up there? Man, No, I think you're wrong.
You don't want to lock that? Come man, I mean
I have about the Falcons? Yeah, maybe the Falcons. All right,
let's do falcons lock it in? A you're locking in
the fig I pressed my button, Richie pressed, You're locked
it in? All right, We're locked it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
On the twenty twenty five power rankings here NFL on Fox,
they have the Falcons at number twenty five.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
About the Cowboys, dude, No, they have the Cowboys at nineteen. Wow.
Who do we miss at fourteen and fifteen?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
At fourteen the Cardinals, Oh yeah, this honestly, and number
fifteen the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, don't care, that's fair. Why do we always sleep
on Minnesota teams? Dude? Can I tell you something cold?
I was cold there?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
The simple You want the rest of the list really quick?
I told you seventeen and eighteen nineteen Cowboys, twenty, Jags, Seahawks,
twenty one, Patriots, Raiders, Dolphins, Falcons, Giants, Jets, Panthers, Cults, Titans, Saints,
and Browns in last place at thirty two.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Wow. You know the list isn't too bad list. They're
made to be debated, So I respect, I respect your
forty nine Ers is the big controversy here. I think
the big and putting the Steelers at number six. Steelers itself,
it should be like now when they flipped. But yeah,
those are the two surprises. But I mean, let's say
I would be already established Steelers are a nine to
ten win team easily. I'm not saying I would bet
(13:12):
my home on it, but I had bet a substantial
amount of money that the forty nine Ers are better
than the Arizona Cardinals this year. I can't. I'm flabbergasted
that they would put the Cardinals above the forty nine Ers.
Like the forty nine Ers. Yeah, they lost a couple
key components, but the forty nine Ers don't be too flabbergasted.
(13:33):
Nobody knows anything. It's all a big guessing game based
on wow, based on last season, in the moves that
were made. But still you never know good good as
I believe George Kittle said on The Dan Patrick Show.
I love that there's no George Kittles saying, like the
(13:56):
fact that there's no drama or storyline about the forty
nine is like that they're almost a little boring. Right now. Oh, good, good, Sorry,
we can't entertain. We found a storyline both Christian McCaffrey
and Brock Purty both new dads. Oh is that what
they're thinking? They're going to be changing diapers at three
in the morning. They're gonna be too tired to compete. Well,
is there a I mean, it's so weird because I'm
(14:19):
sewing baseball mode now. McCaffrey is like one hundred percent
going into the season unless something happened that I don't
know about. So Christian McCaffrey alone with a healthy brock
Ayuk will eventually be back in the mix. George Kittles,
I don't understand why. Yeah, they're superstars on paper. Who's
(14:41):
got a top billing? We don't know people. People think
their window is closed, and I'm trying to decide if
I'm looking at through homer glasses or if their window
really did close. I don't know. Hey, well your thoughts
on that? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And while we get
the phone calls, we're also looking for contestants to play
(15:04):

keeping your mind sharp and passing down some wisdom from Mike.
Here we go, it's time for the guy that runs
(16:26):
this place.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Just for clarification, Guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday, nothing
less forever, except perhaps the day before you leave for
your vacation. Ahhing less forever. But it's kind of like
(16:59):
our theory on uber minutes. Yeah, like those are the
four longest minutes ever. Like, man, they're taking so long?
Why are you going the wrong way?
Speaker 2 (17:07):

Over there in the main studio, Danny g sticky Red
Love Dice. I rolled a six, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Now, a rich roll.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
A ritroal way cooler than a rick roll rich roal.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Tense that means rich gets first take. And now, ladies
and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from
Scotch Plains, New Jersey spotty boy.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I don't know what I'm gonna do with all this time,
all right? I will so if you, if you, if
you want to parent like the coat. Tom Brady just
dropped some parenting advice on his one ninety nine news letter.
It appeared like he was offering advice to golfer Scottie Scheffler,
(21:49):
who has been struggling with being away from his family
while on tour. So Brady said that while it's tough
to be away from family to be an elite athlete,
it's the work on the field which makes pro competitors
great parents. Quote my dedication to the sport, the hours
of practice, the moments when I was laser focused. Those
were times I was doing the best possible thing for
(22:09):
my family and my kids by prioritizing my profession and
teaching by example what it takes to be really good
at your job. He also went on to say, remember
your children are watching everything. They see what you do
in every aspect of your life and how you do it.
Of course, fans are alluding to the fact that he's
throwing a little bit of shade at his ex Gazelle,
who criticized Tommy's dedication.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
To the game and not his family.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
If you recall, on this very show, I said that
Tom Brady hates his family, so I did when he
went back to when he came out of retirement. So
a lot of people getting for that. But good advice
done the last midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
This is major, and I'll tell you why because it's listen,
it's Tom Brady. He's the most winning you know, maybe
not the greatest of all time, but the goat when
it comes to the guy's a winner seven super Bowls.
That's more than every organization, right, I mean when you
think about it that way. So yes, he dedicated time
and effort to the craft, and what a great example
for his kids to show hard work and how it
(23:06):
pays off. Everything from the TV twelve workout to you
name it, tom Brady's the guy, but when he's talking
to Scotti Scheffler, it's tough because tom Brady's dedication resulted
in him sacrificing what he's family. So he's given advice
about making yourself a great example to your kids, but
(23:28):
that ultra dedication is sort of what led to the
demise of his marriage and why he doesn't see his
kids all the time. So it's major, but it also
feels like a little bit of a justification because of that. Rich, Yeah,
I sacrificed my family, but I always teaching him how
to be a great leader and champion, and that's all true.
(23:49):
But his family did pay the price as a result,
but you know what, they also reaped the benefits. And
I often say, we had this discussion today Rich on
our patreon. Yeah, your hard work is justified when you're
able to splurge on your kids, like, hey, you know what,
we are gonna get the lightning Pass and the fast
Pass and we are going to go on vacation. We
(24:10):
are going to get that toy you on and that's
why dad works hard. We are going to go to
Coldstone Creamery, We're gonna go to Coltzure. That's why dad
puts in the extra we we'll see Paul Stanley. Yeah, so,
I mean I think that's all part of it. Your
kids do reap the benefits. Yeah, I know you're saying.
It's just it's interesting. I'm not saying Tom Brady shouldn't
get parenting advice, but he You know, one of the
(24:33):
few things you could say negative about Tom is that
football did take a priority. So there you go, Thank you, Fop.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
You could quoe me on that if you know what.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That's why bull take Tom Brady hates his family.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Well, speaking of Tom Brady, remember we were speculating if
at the Bezos weading that he and Sidney Sweeney, you know,
the girl with the good jeans, Yeah, and Sidney Sweeney
had a little bit of a hookup. Well, it's possible
that maybe he's not our type. So WNBA stars Sophie Cunningham,
who's also a stunning blonde, said that Tom Brady is
not her type of guy because she's into quote, more
(25:04):
of a manly man. Cunningham was talking about Brady on
the first episode of her news show Me Something podcast,
talking with her friend TV personality West Wilson. You said
he recently met Brady and Cunningham asked how much botox
he has. She said she likes more of a manly man.
Doesn't want her man having botox botox in his face,
alluding to the Brady looking like he's had work done
(25:26):
and there's been a lot of speculation he looks like
handsome squid word maybe he has. Cunningham twenty eight years old,
currently in her first season at the Indiana Fever, so
maybe she kind of has the eye of the younger girl.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So that might take Sidney Sweet out of the mix.
Mide cremat, this is this is mid and I'll tell
you what I love. No, I do not yet, Sophie Cuttingham. Beautiful,
you mean Sophie Stunningham. Thanks, I came up with that.
You should make some shirts. Sophie Stunningham is hot, she's cool.
(25:55):
I like what she's brought to the WNBA. Defending Caitlyn Clark.
This is the misstep who says Tom Brady wants you anyway?
And number two, he's so lucky, Sophie Cunningham, if Tom
Brady would look your way. Tom Brady is a pimp.
Tom Brady is the man. Tom Brady, I mean Sophie Cunningham.
(26:15):
If they were a power couple, Tom Brady would be
the come on, this is you know why Sophie Cunningham
isn't interested in Tom Brady is because he won't eat
Arby's roast beef.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
That's the real problem. Do you guys know about that shirt?
Speaker 5 (26:29):
No? She had.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
She wore a shirt to a game that was like
hot girls eat at Arby's and it's like becoming like
a viral thing. Thanks for clarifying. You gotta clarify your
Tom Brady will not touch Arby's. Leave the roast peep
at home. I think this is a mid story. No
one cares manly man? How do you define that? Tom
(26:54):
Brady is the man amongst men? Every guy adores him,
So how is is he not the man or a
manly man? He's a football superstar. What's a manly man,
Jeremiah Johnson? You have to have a burly beard, Like
what is a manly man? Richard carn Like, you know what,
maybe maybe I got a chance with You have to
(27:17):
have like a big beard and like be working under
a car. What I mean? He's a football super But
I know, but but I get what you say. He
is pretty like he goes against just doesn't scared of himself.
That means he's soft. That doesn't mean he's soft. That
guy competes on the highs of the levels with the
toughest of pophy. He wants guy to a bo exactly.
(27:38):
I want a stinky fat guy I saw on TMZ.
Just I saw Tom Brady on TMZ with like his
glistening tan abs. Maybe she doesn't want that, You know what, man,
that's fine, And you know what, I'm sure he doesn't
want that either.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Right over to the Lakers, Luca has been slimming down
a lot recently. I know we've joken about his way,
but he has been slimming down. Despite speculation, the Laker
has shut down any ruvers that he's doing it with
the help of drugs Drugs assystem do Zepic. While appearing
on Today This Morning, host Craig Melman actually asked the
question everyone's been thinking. He said, no Zeenpic, none of
those shots or anything. Luco quickly shut it down, saying
(28:16):
that his trim look is the result of diet and
exercise and that he actually took a full month off
of basketball to.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Focus solely on his fitness. This is insulting. Okay, continue,
I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I was gonna say he was featured on the summer
edition of Men's Health looking from as well, so maybe
stepping it up. He's got some potential contract extension coming
up as soon as August second, so who knows Midwecia major.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Major, definitely major. It's insulting to a twenty five year
old guy.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He's not a fifty year old guy or a mom
who's trying to bounce back after having kids middle age.
He's a twenty five year old guy. To speculate that
him getting in shape, you're like most beyond o zempic or.
He's a twenty five year old elite athlete who could
probably just turn it on for a couple of months.
Give me no, When you were twenty something and you
wanted to get trim, you could probably do it in
(29:07):
a few weeks. You remember those days where like you
eat healthy for a month. Even I did it at
twenty five, it was easy, Like eat healthy for a month.
When you're twenty five, you're fine. If you were asking
a forty five year old, that's different. Twenty five insulting
Lucas should be like, oh zempic not of your mind,
you buffoons. Who is the fat guy in Teenwolf? Chubby chubs?
It's not like he was chubbed from teen Wolf? Now
(29:30):
he was, yeah, kind of one. You cut out the
booze and you eat right, you lose some weight. It's
not that hard, especially when you're that young. He's not.
He wasn't that fat. He was just a little soft,
so give me a break. He wasn't on and off
the court. He was that in and out burger. He
dieted some. He made fitness a priority, and it's the
biggest revenge he could have had. It's like the kiss
(29:51):
my ass, look at me now to Dallas and props
to him. He also admitted I don't know if you
saw this, but he was at the Yankees broadcast recently.
They asked him, Michael Kay's, like you ever played baseball?
He's like only on the we only on the wei.
But they also talked about just to diet and cleaning
it up and changing priorities. Good for him, man, I
(30:12):
think it's a major.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Story, all right.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
A little beef is brewing between former former baseball player
Philly John Cruck and Chicago Sky star Angel Ree, well,
I know. The play by play commentator Tom McCarthy was
wishing his friend a happy birthday, who happened to be
his former high school basketball player teammate. He said he
was a heck of a basketball player. Because McCarthy said,
(30:35):
I missed a lot of shots and he cleaned that up,
and then Kruck took that as an opportunity to throw
a jab at Angel Reese.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
McCarthy said, I don't want to say anything or no.
Crux said, I don't want to say anything, but there's
someone here in Chicago who does that a lot. McCarthy said,
that's true. She gets her points, and then Crux said
she gets her rebounds too, alluding to the fact that
Reese has been patting her stats, you know, getting her
knee bounds as she refers to them. Yeah, and then
Reese has actually responded saying, you know, clout is all
(31:03):
one hell of a drug.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Really gets to a point.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
She also went on our TikTok saying to anybody that's
been mean to me and you're having a hard time
in life, good. So we'll see if the jabs continue
back and forth. But it's getting all steam on social
media in Midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Ie rolling Lee mid O. I love John Cruck. No
one knows who Angel Reese is compared to John Kruck.
John Kruck What John Kruck?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I would reverse that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
John John Kruck is a major superstar that played in
All Star Games and was a staple in baseball. Angel
Reese is part of the league that no one cared
about until a year ago. But like on like Instagram
and like all social media, I'd say like she has
like millions of followers. John Cruok is most known for
putting his helmet on backwards. Yeah, but I love him.
(31:48):
She's a colorful guy. But John Kruk has accomplished so
much more in his life than Angel Reese. This is
embarrassing for her. Huh. It's a weird beef, like you
said roast. Speaking of beef. On a positive note, let's
say I saw our buddy. I think it's a mid story.
It's a weird beaf like you don't want to like
(32:08):
cut up a young woman in any weird way. And
I don't think that was John Crook's real intention here.
He sort of was vague about it. On a positive
I saw Jeff Perlman say that Angel Reese is an
all school elbow throwing, rebound grabbing Oakley esque sort of baller.
We need to appreciate her. So she plays a different game,
(32:29):
a tough game. Not everyone's gonna love it. It's a
mid story, all right, thanks guys, thank yousbot. I just
I just think of these w NBA players are just delusional.
I promise you this. I've said it before. If they
stopped playing for some holdout, they'll never play again, right, that's.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Is that why someone's throw a toy on the court?
Very good game yesterday with I don't know what that's
all about. Why do you tell us in your update?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
What toe?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Was it my pit monster? A toy that's not suitable
for work? Was it at arms?
Speaker 6 (33:05):
A toy you would use in the evening?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Maybe a lady?
Speaker 6 (33:07):
You know, just look it up. But it was a
tied It was a tide game with one minute left,
and this item went flying onto the court.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Clime Green couldn't miss it.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Camera even pants to it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
For a childhood Yes, yes, that's exactly what it was. Exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
It was perfect, no, you know, but it was like
a tie game with one minute to go.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Okay, anyway, uh trade deadline, I'm gonna say it's pretty
much finalized.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Everybody is reporting on this.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
The Phillies are finalizing a deal to acquire closer Johann
Durant from the Twins for two top prospects like four
and six, the top prospects of the of the Phillies. Yeah,
that's probably the biggest trade so far.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Was he going to keep his cool entrance that he
had so remember he had like one of the almost
what the Mets Timmy Trumpets does for Diaza, the guy
in Minnesota, he has a.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Great he better, he better continued a great intro. The
Reds have acquired Goldgluff their basement key Brian Hayes from
the Pirates, while the Mariners traded for Pirates left handed
reliever Caleb Ferguson, Mets acquired right handed pitcher Tyler Rodgers
from the Giants, and the Yankees traded for White Sox
outfielder Austin Slater. Right now in Baseball Phillies, they're edging
the White Sox two to one. Bottom of the fourth inning.
(34:26):
The Padres just shut out the Mets five zero. Pirates
beat the Giants two to one. Blue Jays snapped their
four game losing streak with a nine to eight win
over the Orioles. Cubs outscored the Brewers ten to three.
Ravens tight end Isaiah likely gonna have surgery on a
broken bone in his foot. He's expected to miss six weeks,
but it's possible that he could actually be ready four
week one. The Seahawks signed GM John Schneider to a
(34:47):
four year extension in the NBA. The Warriors have made
another push to retain Jonathan Kaminga, but the restricted free
agent is continuing to decline their two year, forty five
million dollar contract offer. And former NBA star Gilbert Arena
as A along with five of the defendants, we're arrested
today on a federal indictment alleging that they operated an
illegal gambling business in which high stakes poker games were
(35:08):
played at an Encino mansion.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Arenas owned guys. Back to you, Thanks, Monzi, Yes, thanks Manzi. Yes.

(37:05):
like Black Sheep said, the choice is yours. Oh you know,
since yesterday was National wing Day, break out those lemon pepper,
break out those Asian zing or what are the ones
you like to honey barbecue?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Honey barbecue.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, let me just make a couple of things clear.
The same annoying conversations come up every time when someone
says wings. So I will touch on them without talking
about them. We will not have the tired conversation of
blue cheese a ranch because he answers blue cheese. Next
second thing. Wow, ranch is pretty good, though blue cheese.
(37:40):
The second blue cheese tastes rotten. The second, blue cheese.
A lot of people are not team blue cheese Cheese.
I said we weren't talking about it. People love to
debait that stupid thing. Secondly, people love to say boneless
wings or just chicken nuggets. I don't care. I still
love them me too. You get then I'm eating Then
I'm eating Nuggies. Joked on love wings, but I also
(38:00):
love boneless Who doesn't stop being pretentious?
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Bread sauce.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
You're allowed to have boneless wings. Don't call me a baby?
What do you some sort of sophisticated highbrow advance a pilate?
Which do you think you're better than me because you
like the bone? Please? You're more like we're all like
Guy Fieri.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
None of us are.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You know, we're all having donkey sauce. Anyway, that's good sauce.
That is good sauce, Dan Patrick, those two debates, that's
right up there, like Dan Patrick. To me, those two
debates are right up there with Jordan or Lebron James,
get your drops right, that's Ben Malley. So blue cheese
and boneless wings are fine for me. My final question,
and I think it's so funny because we saw Rob
(38:36):
Parker have a fit about this. Our buddy Rob Parker
on the Odd Couple, he lost his mind. We were
at the Super Bowl and he asked the waiter, can
you bring me all flats? All flats all the time,
like a mix of them. But I will go for
the flats over the drumsticks. But Rob Parker put up
a fit. He's like, what do you mean you can't
(38:58):
do all flats? I'd spin it off like he was
so mad. I knew that. What would you go for, Monte.
I know you're not a meat eater, but what would
you go for, guys Fellas, what would you do wing?
When you do wings? Drumsticks? Are the flats drumsticks for me?
Drum stick to I love do wings. That was That's
the thing I missed the most of my life. Drummies, drummies,
You're going easier to eat, easier to dip, too, easier
(39:22):
to dip.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
It's what I'm not breaking anything.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Apart, Like, it's what I'm going for first, without a doubt.
You know that we learned a lesson. All of you
could eat wings with Rob Parker and be in ebony
and ivory, perfect harmony.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
He'll take the flats, He'll take the drumsticks and all
is good. Who thought wings were so controversial? I know exactly.
We will see you guys manyana in for the herd.
Until then, have a great night a rib there you
may see you in the promise you Bye, guys,
Hey, thanks for listening to the Covino and Rich podcast.
Be sure to catch us live every weekday from five
to seven Eastern to the four Pacific on Fox Sports Radio.
Find your local station for Comedo Rich at Fox Sports
Radio dot com, or stream us live every day on
the iHeartRadio app. It's like searching FSR. It's a big day.
Oh yeah, it's Noonti magazine there and yep, the Yankees
(00:25):
got Austin Slater. Not O'Neill Cruz, who I was hoping for.
But hey, cruise, you getting that guy. That's funny why
he's named after Paul O'Neill. He should be a Yankee.
Same anyway. I hope you're enjoying your MLB. Tomorrow's the deadline.
So it's deadline Eve, everybody. Covino and Rich on Fox
Sports Radio Eve too, football Eve because well starts tomorrow,
(00:50):
broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio out here
in the mean streets of La. We got Iowa, Sam,
we got Danny g Monty Belanos spots on the videos
Fox Sports Radios YouTube. We're Cavino and Rich turning your
hump day into a hump night. Oh I like that,
I will say I want everyone to note over the
(01:10):
next twenty four hours, it's gonna happen once in your life.
So when it happens, I want you to think of me.
Your friend is going to talk about the trade your
team should make, and they're going to be so ridiculous
about what they want to get for how little they
give up. It's my biggest pet peeve around trade deadline time.
Your team will always be like, you know, we should
(01:31):
try to get and they'll say something like we should
try to get like Paul Schimes from the Pirates, and
what do you want to give up a couple of
minor leaguers people we don't know. Idiotic fans now works
all do this every year, especially in baseball and basketball,
and the trade deadline approaches, they'll be like, we should
give up, and they'll talk about like bunk middle relief
(01:51):
guys and they want to get a slugger from another team.
So you'll hear it happen at least once over the
next twenty four hours, depending on the moves that are made,
shows you how much their heart's really in it, in
my opinion, and the Yankees no offense. The guy's a
big leaguer, so my opinion doesn't matter much, and I
hope he lights it up. But Austin Slater doesn't say
(02:12):
that the Yankees, you're really going for it. In my opinion,
we've talked about this with behind the scenes people GMS
of teams. By the way, he might end up being
one of my favorite players that I root for. But
that's how I feel. I think when you hear GM
speak and we've we've spoke to people behind the scenes before,
where fans don't realize that there's so many things that
need to happen. First of all, these other players need
(02:35):
to be available, they need to want what you're giving up,
and it all needs to work out so perfectly. There's
money considerations involved, Like just because you're like, man, who's
the third base? When you did want he just got
hit Blay Pitch Suarez I call him, Eugenium, calls him Eugenio.
(02:57):
I call him Eugene, calls him eugeniore Yo, that kid's
a stud player, right, he has like thirty something home
runs already, he has a busted hand. No, here's the thing.
What if the Yankees like, Yo, we want Suarez, And
what if they say right there, uh, Yankees front off.
This is what Rich my father says. Everything's negotiable. Yeah,
(03:18):
this isn't Pee Wee's big adventure. Everybody's got a price.
You're not the You're not the Buckston's what if? Uh?
What if your dude Brian Cashman's like, yeah, I'm not
giving up what you want. Then it's a no deal.
And then what do you rather? Do you want to
getrez If it means the Yankees giving up all their
prospects and maybe one guy on the roster, we'll see
(03:39):
the moves. We'll talk about it tomorrow in for the Herd,
Covino and Rich, so tune in early tomorrow. But we
got lots to get to this hour midweek major the
biggest stories in sports and pop culture, Mike's Wednesday Words
of Wisdom. We will be giving out prizes in the
form of IOUs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So we'll explain.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, we'll explain. But you promised we talk NFL Power Rankings,
like you said, it's NFL Eve. Yeah, so let's get
into it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah. This says the twenty twenty five NFL Power Rankings,
according to NFL. On Fox, they put this out. One
of their lead NFL guys, Ralph Facciano. He compiled this
fet on middle name Gabao. So NFL on Fox, I
have it in front of me, one through fifteen. I'll
take from you, guys, see how good you are.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Let me pull up the stand, Let me pull up
the riches. Cheating, already cheating. I'm just looking at the division.
So I got my right gate here. Top fifteen you say, huh,
Top fifteen NFL teams going into preseason, no particular order. Well, yeah,
I have the fifteen. But yeah, you guys can just
guess the top ten and where you think they would start.
The Eagles number one, bam.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Not that hard.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But yeah, I'm gonna say just based on not much
as change of anything. They tried to revamp a little bit,
the Revenge Tour, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Chiefs number three on the list.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Better believe it. Whoa Mama, Chubby? Number one?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So who do you think is number two?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Then number two? Lamar Jackson and Company, Baltimore. Boom, I'll
go Buffalo Bills number four, bam. All right. So now
that we got that out of the way, it's a
little harder.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Now let's dive in a little more. I think there
is a sentiment that Detroit will remain very competitive.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, I was surprised by this. They have Detroit number nine.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Wow. All right, I'm going out on a limb here,
and I'm saying, especially after fresh after watching quarterback, the
Bengals were so close to so many games, luck has
to swing their way a little more this year. Burrow's
gonna bring it. Bengals gotta be in it.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You guys are going in reverse order now. They have
Bengals number eight.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Okay, okay, all right, let's gotta close it down seven
to four. Let's keep that reverse going. And I don't
want to be a Homer, but they have the easiest
softest schedule in the history of schedules, and they're healthy
and brock Perty sound the deal. I think the Niners
are still so very in the mix.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
This is going to grind your gears, rich Fox. The
power rankings here by Ralph and Company have the Niners
at number eighteen.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
W What, yeah, we need a break Ice, Richard Hole.
That is wild, dude.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Your Niners are closer to my Raiders than the Eagles
at number one.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yo, dare I say this is the most bunk thing
I've heard ever. I think you were kind of expecting
this though, because I thought you were gonna say, oh, Rich,
they stuck in the number twelve or thirteen. Oh no.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
A couple of weeks ago you said, a lot of
people have counted your team out going into this.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I promise you this. There's a reason why the Niners
over under in Vegas. I think it's eleven and a
half or twelve games. They may flounder in the postseason,
but they're gonna be an inflated team this year because
when I tell you, look at the forty nine er schedule,
they don't play the Eagles, they don't play Buffalo, they
don't play Baltimore, they don't play the Chiefs. The Niners
don't play They might as well be playing like the
(07:03):
Cults every week. They honestly the Cardinals their divisions of
the week. I mean, the Rams certainly must be on
this stupid list.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Then no Wammy's, no Wami's. You guys have one strike.
So Rams, the Rams, Rams are number twelve, Okay, so
they're in the top fifteen.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Washington Commanders have to be shooting up boom continuing to
go backwards there number seven, Damn, I'm bringing the boom.
Bro who you got rich I got, I know, I
got the next one? Should I just say it? I
think there's a lot of people high on the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
This year Buccaneers at number eleven on their.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay, so they're there. There's people that think the Bucks
are better than the nine. Yeah, there's a lot of
buzz on the Bucks and Baker Mayfield, he makes people better.
So we're looking for number.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You still have five, six, ten, and thirteen through fifteen.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Hmmm, nommy, nommy, no, emmy, someone here's the problem. Someone's
got to come out of the AFC South, and I
think none of them deserve it. Houston, Houston, Texans number
thirteen they got there, you go Texans. Yeah, we got
to find number five and number six is someone inflating?
(08:17):
Oh I'm sorry. Does give me people that are hiring
the Packers because they always are packers?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yes, number five?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, packers. You know, I think they love.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Your boy Golden the new wide receiver there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
What about? What about they finally think the Chargers will
get it together?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Chargers number ten, right, always always in the top ten
every preseason, though.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Many Chargers top ten, right, So we we're missing number six, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. Yep,
so has to be like, come on, man, are you serious?
Do we get we need six thirteen, fourteen and fifteen
or not six fourteen and fifteen?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Still? Who's thirteen thirteen? Texans?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I said that out? You're right? Yes, so we have
one strike with the Niners. That's embarrassing. You know, I'm
fine with that strike. Are we thinking Bears are finally
no naked? It? Don't give that's a second strike? I think.
I don't know. Man, there's always gonna be like a
sleeper pag no. Because remember why lists are made. Listener
made so people discussed. So they're gonna like, you're gonna
(09:13):
be like Bears are number six, Green Bay and the
Lions are on this list. That's two teams in there, right, Sorry,
don't count that one after that? All right, you gotta
someone's gonna come out of the South.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And you said, by the way, smart decision dub Bears
number seventeen.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh good, Okay, see, I'm feeling good about that. I'm
just thinking there's gonna be once surprise. I'm gonna give
you one because I think, oh no, because we've already
said it, I'm gonna say it anyway, Denver Broncos just
outside at number sixteen. Sorry sorry, second strike fairly better
than the Bears.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Pack down to your last strike, and you have three
teams left on the board.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
All right, we're gonna have to discuss before we answer
to you, right right, So can we know we need
five and six? No? No, we have number We are
missing number six, number six, six, fourteen and fifteen. So
two are borderline teams and one is clearly top ten
and we're just missing it. I'm gonna look at I'm
gonna be so aggravated when I figure out who we're
(10:09):
thinking of Titans. No, if you tell me it's it's
not those, it's not the Seahawks, you can't tell me
to see it. But then again, if they're ranking the
nine or so low, oh, I know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Who it is.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I know who it is. They're setting up Dak Prescott.
It's the Cowboy because they're Sancer. No, because if Vega,
they're Vegas over under is seven wins there Vegas says
they're gonna be seven. But these lists, there's always gonna
be a surprise on the list, Like, come on, man,
he can't be serious. That's why they do these dumb
ass lists. There's gotta be a there's not a lot
(10:38):
of teams left that are even Like, in contention of.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
The conversations yesterday when we were talking about the Cowboys,
I ran it through the chat CHEPT predictor No, no,
the chat GPT says the Cowboys could go nine and
eight this season.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh Aaron Rodgers, Steelers, don't you dare? Yeah? That's you
locked it in And the Steelers are number six fucking.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
So wait, wait, so what do we need three to fourteen,
fourteen and fifteen. We have one strike down? They have
one strike left?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You got to decide, is Michael Pennock junior with Atlanta
gonna do? Is he respected more than you? Gotta think?
Who are they respecting more than the forty nine Ers
and Bears? Because aren't the forty nine Ers and Bears
what like seventeen and eighteen, sixteen and seventeen or is
on the rent?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Sixteen? So the outside looking in now, seventeen and.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Eighteen, Broncos at sixteen, Bears at seventeen, Niners at eighteen.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So Broncos Bears in niners. That's surprising. All three of
those teams could very well be played. Still think the
Cowboys are up there? Man, No, I think you're wrong.
You don't want to lock that? Come man, I mean
I have about the Falcons? Yeah, maybe the Falcons. All right,
let's do falcons lock it in? A you're locking in
the fig I pressed my button, Richie pressed, You're locked
it in? All right, We're locked it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
On the twenty twenty five power rankings here NFL on Fox,
they have the Falcons at number twenty five.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
About the Cowboys, dude, No, they have the Cowboys at nineteen. Wow.
Who do we miss at fourteen and fifteen?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
At fourteen the Cardinals, Oh yeah, this honestly, and number
fifteen the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, don't care, that's fair. Why do we always sleep
on Minnesota teams? Dude? Can I tell you something cold?
I was cold there?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
The simple You want the rest of the list really quick?
I told you seventeen and eighteen nineteen Cowboys, twenty, Jags, Seahawks,
twenty one, Patriots, Raiders, Dolphins, Falcons, Giants, Jets, Panthers, Cults, Titans, Saints,
and Browns in last place at thirty two.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Wow. You know the list isn't too bad list. They're
made to be debated, So I respect, I respect your
forty nine Ers is the big controversy here. I think
the big and putting the Steelers at number six. Steelers itself,
it should be like now when they flipped. But yeah,
those are the two surprises. But I mean, let's say
I would be already established Steelers are a nine to
ten win team easily. I'm not saying I would bet
(13:12):
my home on it, but I had bet a substantial
amount of money that the forty nine Ers are better
than the Arizona Cardinals this year. I can't. I'm flabbergasted
that they would put the Cardinals above the forty nine Ers.
Like the forty nine Ers. Yeah, they lost a couple
key components, but the forty nine Ers don't be too flabbergasted.
(13:33):
Nobody knows anything. It's all a big guessing game based
on wow, based on last season, in the moves that
were made. But still you never know good good as
I believe George Kittle said on The Dan Patrick Show.
I love that there's no George Kittles saying, like the
(13:56):
fact that there's no drama or storyline about the forty
nine is like that they're almost a little boring. Right now. Oh, good, good, Sorry,
we can't entertain. We found a storyline both Christian McCaffrey
and Brock Purty both new dads. Oh is that what
they're thinking? They're going to be changing diapers at three
in the morning. They're gonna be too tired to compete. Well,
is there a I mean, it's so weird because I'm
(14:19):
sewing baseball mode now. McCaffrey is like one hundred percent
going into the season unless something happened that I don't
know about. So Christian McCaffrey alone with a healthy brock
Ayuk will eventually be back in the mix. George Kittles,
I don't understand why. Yeah, they're superstars on paper. Who's
(14:41):
got a top billing? We don't know people. People think
their window is closed, and I'm trying to decide if
I'm looking at through homer glasses or if their window
really did close. I don't know. Hey, well your thoughts
on that? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And while we get
the phone calls, we're also looking for contestants to play
(15:04):
Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. Big Mike runs his place
always walks around like he has all the answers. Yeah,

If you could repeat it verbatim, it's our way of
keeping your mind sharp and passing down some wisdom from Mike.
Here we go, it's time for the guy that runs
(16:26):
this place.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Just for clarification, Guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday, nothing

our theory on uber minutes. Yeah, like those are the
four longest minutes ever. Like, man, they're taking so long?
Why are you going the wrong way?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Tense that means rich gets first take. And now, ladies
and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from
Scotch Plains, New Jersey spotty boy.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I don't know what I'm gonna do with all this time,
all right? I will so if you, if you, if
you want to parent like the coat. Tom Brady just
dropped some parenting advice on his one ninety nine news letter.
It appeared like he was offering advice to golfer Scottie Scheffler,
(21:49):
who has been struggling with being away from his family
while on tour. So Brady said that while it's tough
to be away from family to be an elite athlete,
it's the work on the field which makes pro competitors
great parents. Quote my dedication to the sport, the hours
of practice, the moments when I was laser focused. Those
were times I was doing the best possible thing for
(22:09):
my family and my kids by prioritizing my profession and
teaching by example what it takes to be really good
at your job. He also went on to say, remember
your children are watching everything. They see what you do
in every aspect of your life and how you do it.
Of course, fans are alluding to the fact that he's
throwing a little bit of shade at his ex Gazelle,
who criticized Tommy's dedication.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
To the game and not his family.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
If you recall, on this very show, I said that
Tom Brady hates his family, so I did when he
went back to when he came out of retirement. So
a lot of people getting for that. But good advice
done the last midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
This is major, and I'll tell you why because it's listen,
it's Tom Brady. He's the most winning you know, maybe
not the greatest of all time, but the goat when
it comes to the guy's a winner seven super Bowls.
That's more than every organization, right, I mean when you
think about it that way. So yes, he dedicated time
and effort to the craft, and what a great example
for his kids to show hard work and how it
(23:06):
pays off. Everything from the TV twelve workout to you
name it, tom Brady's the guy, but when he's talking
to Scotti Scheffler, it's tough because tom Brady's dedication resulted
in him sacrificing what he's family. So he's given advice
about making yourself a great example to your kids, but
(23:28):
that ultra dedication is sort of what led to the
demise of his marriage and why he doesn't see his
kids all the time. So it's major, but it also
feels like a little bit of a justification because of that. Rich, Yeah,
I sacrificed my family, but I always teaching him how
to be a great leader and champion, and that's all true.
(23:49):
But his family did pay the price as a result,
but you know what, they also reaped the benefits. And
I often say, we had this discussion today Rich on
our patreon. Yeah, your hard work is justified when you're
able to splurge on your kids, like, hey, you know what,
we are gonna get the lightning Pass and the fast
Pass and we are going to go on vacation. We
(24:10):
are going to get that toy you on and that's
why dad works hard. We are going to go to
Coldstone Creamery, We're gonna go to Coltzure. That's why dad
puts in the extra we we'll see Paul Stanley. Yeah, so,
I mean I think that's all part of it. Your
kids do reap the benefits. Yeah, I know you're saying.
It's just it's interesting. I'm not saying Tom Brady shouldn't
get parenting advice, but he You know, one of the
(24:33):
few things you could say negative about Tom is that
football did take a priority. So there you go, Thank you, Fop.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
You could quoe me on that if you know what.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That's why bull take Tom Brady hates his family.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
All right.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Well, speaking of Tom Brady, remember we were speculating if
at the Bezos weading that he and Sidney Sweeney, you know,
the girl with the good jeans, Yeah, and Sidney Sweeney
had a little bit of a hookup. Well, it's possible
that maybe he's not our type. So WNBA stars Sophie Cunningham,
who's also a stunning blonde, said that Tom Brady is
not her type of guy because she's into quote, more
(25:04):
of a manly man. Cunningham was talking about Brady on
the first episode of her news show Me Something podcast,
talking with her friend TV personality West Wilson. You said
he recently met Brady and Cunningham asked how much botox
he has. She said she likes more of a manly man.
Doesn't want her man having botox botox in his face,
alluding to the Brady looking like he's had work done
(25:26):
and there's been a lot of speculation he looks like
handsome squid word maybe he has. Cunningham twenty eight years old,
currently in her first season at the Indiana Fever, so
maybe she kind of has the eye of the younger girl.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So that might take Sidney Sweet out of the mix.
Mide cremat, this is this is mid and I'll tell
you what I love. No, I do not yet, Sophie Cuttingham. Beautiful,
you mean Sophie Stunningham. Thanks, I came up with that.
You should make some shirts. Sophie Stunningham is hot, she's cool.
(25:55):
I like what she's brought to the WNBA. Defending Caitlyn Clark.
This is the misstep who says Tom Brady wants you anyway?
And number two, he's so lucky, Sophie Cunningham, if Tom
Brady would look your way. Tom Brady is a pimp.
Tom Brady is the man. Tom Brady, I mean Sophie Cunningham.
(26:15):
If they were a power couple, Tom Brady would be
the come on, this is you know why Sophie Cunningham
isn't interested in Tom Brady is because he won't eat
Arby's roast beef.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
That's the real problem. Do you guys know about that shirt?
Speaker 5 (26:29):
No? She had.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
She wore a shirt to a game that was like
hot girls eat at Arby's and it's like becoming like
a viral thing. Thanks for clarifying. You gotta clarify your
Tom Brady will not touch Arby's. Leave the roast peep
at home. I think this is a mid story. No
one cares manly man? How do you define that? Tom
(26:54):
Brady is the man amongst men? Every guy adores him,
So how is is he not the man or a
manly man? He's a football superstar. What's a manly man,
Jeremiah Johnson? You have to have a burly beard, Like
what is a manly man? Richard carn Like, you know what,
maybe maybe I got a chance with You have to
(27:17):
have like a big beard and like be working under
a car. What I mean? He's a football super But
I know, but but I get what you say. He
is pretty like he goes against just doesn't scared of himself.
That means he's soft. That doesn't mean he's soft. That
guy competes on the highs of the levels with the
toughest of pophy. He wants guy to a bo exactly.
(27:38):
I want a stinky fat guy I saw on TMZ.
Just I saw Tom Brady on TMZ with like his
glistening tan abs. Maybe she doesn't want that, You know what, man,
that's fine, And you know what, I'm sure he doesn't
want that either.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Right over to the Lakers, Luca has been slimming down
a lot recently. I know we've joken about his way,
but he has been slimming down. Despite speculation, the Laker
has shut down any ruvers that he's doing it with
the help of drugs Drugs assystem do Zepic. While appearing
on Today This Morning, host Craig Melman actually asked the
question everyone's been thinking. He said, no Zeenpic, none of
those shots or anything. Luco quickly shut it down, saying
(28:16):
that his trim look is the result of diet and
exercise and that he actually took a full month off
of basketball to.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Focus solely on his fitness. This is insulting. Okay, continue,
I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I was gonna say he was featured on the summer
edition of Men's Health looking from as well, so maybe
stepping it up. He's got some potential contract extension coming
up as soon as August second, so who knows Midwecia major.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Major, definitely major. It's insulting to a twenty five year
old guy.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He's not a fifty year old guy or a mom
who's trying to bounce back after having kids middle age.
He's a twenty five year old guy. To speculate that
him getting in shape, you're like most beyond o zempic or.
He's a twenty five year old elite athlete who could
probably just turn it on for a couple of months.
Give me no, When you were twenty something and you
wanted to get trim, you could probably do it in
(29:07):
a few weeks. You remember those days where like you
eat healthy for a month. Even I did it at
twenty five, it was easy, Like eat healthy for a month.
When you're twenty five, you're fine. If you were asking
a forty five year old, that's different. Twenty five insulting
Lucas should be like, oh zempic not of your mind,
you buffoons. Who is the fat guy in Teenwolf? Chubby chubs?
It's not like he was chubbed from teen Wolf? Now
(29:30):
he was, yeah, kind of one. You cut out the
booze and you eat right, you lose some weight. It's
not that hard, especially when you're that young. He's not.
He wasn't that fat. He was just a little soft,
so give me a break. He wasn't on and off
the court. He was that in and out burger. He
dieted some. He made fitness a priority, and it's the
biggest revenge he could have had. It's like the kiss
(29:51):
my ass, look at me now to Dallas and props
to him. He also admitted I don't know if you
saw this, but he was at the Yankees broadcast recently.
They asked him, Michael Kay's, like you ever played baseball?
He's like only on the we only on the wei.
But they also talked about just to diet and cleaning
it up and changing priorities. Good for him, man, I
(30:12):
think it's a major.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Story, all right.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
A little beef is brewing between former former baseball player
Philly John Cruck and Chicago Sky star Angel Ree, well,
I know. The play by play commentator Tom McCarthy was
wishing his friend a happy birthday, who happened to be
his former high school basketball player teammate. He said he
was a heck of a basketball player. Because McCarthy said,
(30:35):
I missed a lot of shots and he cleaned that up,
and then Kruck took that as an opportunity to throw
a jab at Angel Reese.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
McCarthy said, I don't want to say anything or no.
Crux said, I don't want to say anything, but there's
someone here in Chicago who does that a lot. McCarthy said,
that's true. She gets her points, and then Crux said
she gets her rebounds too, alluding to the fact that
Reese has been patting her stats, you know, getting her
knee bounds as she refers to them. Yeah, and then
Reese has actually responded saying, you know, clout is all
(31:03):
one hell of a drug.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Really gets to a point.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
She also went on our TikTok saying to anybody that's
been mean to me and you're having a hard time
in life, good. So we'll see if the jabs continue
back and forth. But it's getting all steam on social
media in Midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Ie rolling Lee mid O. I love John Cruck. No
one knows who Angel Reese is compared to John Kruck.
John Kruck What John Kruck?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I would reverse that.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
John John Kruck is a major superstar that played in
All Star Games and was a staple in baseball. Angel
Reese is part of the league that no one cared
about until a year ago. But like on like Instagram
and like all social media, I'd say like she has
like millions of followers. John Cruok is most known for
putting his helmet on backwards. Yeah, but I love him.
(31:48):
She's a colorful guy. But John Kruk has accomplished so
much more in his life than Angel Reese. This is
embarrassing for her. Huh. It's a weird beef, like you
said roast. Speaking of beef. On a positive note, let's
say I saw our buddy. I think it's a mid story.
It's a weird beaf like you don't want to like
(32:08):
cut up a young woman in any weird way. And
I don't think that was John Crook's real intention here.
He sort of was vague about it. On a positive
I saw Jeff Perlman say that Angel Reese is an
all school elbow throwing, rebound grabbing Oakley esque sort of baller.
We need to appreciate her. So she plays a different game,
(32:29):
a tough game. Not everyone's gonna love it. It's a
mid story, all right, thanks guys, thank yousbot. I just
I just think of these w NBA players are just delusional.
I promise you this. I've said it before. If they
stopped playing for some holdout, they'll never play again, right, that's.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Is that why someone's throw a toy on the court?
Very good game yesterday with I don't know what that's
all about. Why do you tell us in your update?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
What toe?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Was it my pit monster? A toy that's not suitable
for work? Was it at arms?
Speaker 6 (33:05):
A toy you would use in the evening?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Maybe a lady?
Speaker 6 (33:07):
You know, just look it up. But it was a
tied It was a tide game with one minute left,
and this item went flying onto the court.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Clime Green couldn't miss it.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Camera even pants to it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
For a childhood Yes, yes, that's exactly what it was. Exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
It was perfect, no, you know, but it was like
a tie game with one minute to go.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Okay, anyway, uh trade deadline, I'm gonna say it's pretty
much finalized.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Everybody is reporting on this.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
The Phillies are finalizing a deal to acquire closer Johann
Durant from the Twins for two top prospects like four
and six, the top prospects of the of the Phillies. Yeah,
that's probably the biggest trade so far.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Was he going to keep his cool entrance that he
had so remember he had like one of the almost
what the Mets Timmy Trumpets does for Diaza, the guy
in Minnesota, he has a.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Great he better, he better continued a great intro. The
Reds have acquired Goldgluff their basement key Brian Hayes from
the Pirates, while the Mariners traded for Pirates left handed
reliever Caleb Ferguson, Mets acquired right handed pitcher Tyler Rodgers
from the Giants, and the Yankees traded for White Sox
outfielder Austin Slater. Right now in Baseball Phillies, they're edging
the White Sox two to one. Bottom of the fourth inning.
(34:26):
The Padres just shut out the Mets five zero. Pirates
beat the Giants two to one. Blue Jays snapped their
four game losing streak with a nine to eight win
over the Orioles. Cubs outscored the Brewers ten to three.
Ravens tight end Isaiah likely gonna have surgery on a
broken bone in his foot. He's expected to miss six weeks,
but it's possible that he could actually be ready four
week one. The Seahawks signed GM John Schneider to a
(34:47):
four year extension in the NBA. The Warriors have made
another push to retain Jonathan Kaminga, but the restricted free
agent is continuing to decline their two year, forty five
million dollar contract offer. And former NBA star Gilbert Arena
as A along with five of the defendants, we're arrested
today on a federal indictment alleging that they operated an
illegal gambling business in which high stakes poker games were
(35:08):
played at an Encino mansion.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Arenas owned guys. Back to you, Thanks, Monzi, Yes, thanks Manzi. Yes.

(37:05):
like Black Sheep said, the choice is yours. Oh you know,
since yesterday was National wing Day, break out those lemon pepper,
break out those Asian zing or what are the ones
you like to honey barbecue?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Honey barbecue.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, let me just make a couple of things clear.
The same annoying conversations come up every time when someone
says wings. So I will touch on them without talking
about them. We will not have the tired conversation of
blue cheese a ranch because he answers blue cheese. Next
second thing. Wow, ranch is pretty good, though blue cheese.
(37:40):
The second blue cheese tastes rotten. The second, blue cheese.
A lot of people are not team blue cheese Cheese.
I said we weren't talking about it. People love to
debait that stupid thing. Secondly, people love to say boneless
wings or just chicken nuggets. I don't care. I still
love them me too. You get then I'm eating Then
I'm eating Nuggies. Joked on love wings, but I also
(38:00):
love boneless Who doesn't stop being pretentious?
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Bread sauce.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
You're allowed to have boneless wings. Don't call me a baby?
What do you some sort of sophisticated highbrow advance a pilate?
Which do you think you're better than me because you
like the bone? Please? You're more like we're all like
Guy Fieri.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
None of us are.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You know, we're all having donkey sauce. Anyway, that's good sauce.
That is good sauce, Dan Patrick, those two debates, that's
right up there, like Dan Patrick. To me, those two
debates are right up there with Jordan or Lebron James,
get your drops right, that's Ben Malley. So blue cheese
and boneless wings are fine for me. My final question,
and I think it's so funny because we saw Rob
(38:36):
Parker have a fit about this. Our buddy Rob Parker
on the Odd Couple, he lost his mind. We were
at the Super Bowl and he asked the waiter, can
you bring me all flats? All flats all the time,
like a mix of them. But I will go for
the flats over the drumsticks. But Rob Parker put up
a fit. He's like, what do you mean you can't
(38:58):
do all flats? I'd spin it off like he was
so mad. I knew that. What would you go for, Monte.
I know you're not a meat eater, but what would
you go for, guys Fellas, what would you do wing?
When you do wings? Drumsticks? Are the flats drumsticks for me?
Drum stick to I love do wings. That was That's
the thing I missed the most of my life. Drummies, drummies,
You're going easier to eat, easier to dip, too, easier
(39:22):
to dip.
Speaker 6 (39:22):
It's what I'm not breaking anything.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Apart, Like, it's what I'm going for first, without a doubt.
You know that we learned a lesson. All of you
could eat wings with Rob Parker and be in ebony
and ivory, perfect harmony.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
He'll take the flats, He'll take the drumsticks and all
is good. Who thought wings were so controversial? I know exactly.
We will see you guys manyana in for the herd.
Until then, have a great night a rib there you
may see you in the promise you Bye, guys,
