Speaker 1 (01:46):
Now, I got a two part doozy before we get
into midweek major, the biggest stories in the world of
sports and pop culture. Spot's getting ready. We do it
every midweek. Is that why he's doing sweat Thrust? Yeah,
midweek Major. Before we get into that getting ready for
football in the first of the month tomorrow, I have
a two part doozy Rich two part doozy.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I'll be the judge of that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I saw a story this is right up your steampipe
Bally Mario Canton style. Yeah, American Idol announced that Carrie
Underwood is close to finalizing a deal to replace Katie
Perry on American Eye. Leave some money for the rest
of us. You know, she makes a million dollars a
week doing the Sunday Night football theme. That's how I
feel about Ryan Seacrest hosting Wheel of Fortunes, Like, get
your face out of here. Leave it for somebody else.
(02:30):
That dude has to host. Give it to me or
Bobby Bones or some other Latino guy like Mario Lopez
taking all the games pays hosting again, having.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
A bone to Dinkleman or Dunkleman whatever that guy's name is,
his first co host. Remember, yeah, of course, then that
guy fell off the face of the earth.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Tonkleman, all because he had morals.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Remember he was like, uh, it's like I only can
they make fun of the contestants. Oh, to tie back
to the last conversation Simon Cowell, Remember he's not mean anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
He's not mean at all.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Really, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's like a nice guy now. Well, because it has
to be mean right back.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's why.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So Carrie Underwood, Carrie Underwood, how most of finalizing a
deal She's replacing Katy Perry. Okay, so hold on to
that story. By the way, who you a bigger fan of?
When I say fan, you know what I mean. I
talked about this. I don't mean their catalog. My wife
looks more like a Carrie Underwood. I've always I've liked blondes.
But man, Katy Perry, there's something that oozes sexuality. There
(03:33):
is Katy Perry. To me, it would eat most of
you alive. Wow, I'm going Katy Perry. Now, she's a
great judge on American Idol.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What are you doing there?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But but Katy Perry was making tens of millions of dollars.
So Carrie Underwood, I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it,
but Sunday Night Football's theme American Idol judge. And on
top of that, like you know, the platinum album after album,
if a touring and everything she's doing from a little
country bumpkin that one American Idol.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
She's doing all right, you said pumpkin?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Now hold on, now, hold on to that story. Carrie
Underwood replacing Katy Perry, gotcha check. With all the popularity
of Deadpool and Wolverine, there's been a lot of clips
and highlights of Wesley Snipes talking about how he got
the phone call to reprise his role as Blade in
(04:28):
the movie. Hate to give away the cameo, but come on, spoiler,
you spoiler not have social media?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You got spoiler.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Hey, it's a lot of place. No, you gotta give
it a week. Felman.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So Wesley Snipes is all over the news talking about
you know, it was a surprise.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To me because.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I don't know if you guys knew this, but maherschela
Ali is replacing him as Blade moving forward. So he's like,
I didn't understand. But I was like, hell, yeah, I'll
do it if you can make it happen. If Disney
and Marvel and everybody thinks that I could be Blade, sure,
why the hell not. And they had worked together in
the past. So he's been talking about it everywhere. Yeah,
(05:16):
so I'm not hearing anything. So anyway, you got meherschela
Ali replacing Wesley Snipes that's been announced as Blade moving forward.
Got Carrie Underwood replacing Katy Perry. Both of these stories
viral today and in the news today based on I
Have a Question for you, and it does tie into
sports because we all know the story of Wally Pip.
(05:38):
Do you root for your replacement in life on your
day off and your relationship? I mean, I think it
depends on where you are. Aaron Rodgers just said that, Hey,
with all that money Aaron Jordan Love just got, maybe
he could buy my old house in Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's interesting because in all of our years of talking
sports and living life, I can only think of one
guy that we've ever talked to that was honest about this,
and that was on our show Cavino and Rich at
Sirius six seven at the time we talked to Barry Zito.
You remember what he said, Barry Zito, former Oakland A
(06:15):
that's what I giant, San Francisco Giant. Yeah, the guy
just oozed the Bay Area. That dude oozed curveballs. He
had a nasty he had some nasty stuff. He had
a great movement. H Barry Zito, great pitcher, really nice guy.
He's a musician as well. If you follow Barry Zito.
He actually he was a cool dude. Actually just a
(06:36):
cut from a cut from the cloth of a really
like fun guy. He was honest with us and he
said if he was ever replaced in a rotation, spot start,
he was a little banged up, injured, new team, whatever
the case may be. He always wanted his team to win.
But he's like, I can't lie to you. I never
(06:56):
wanted my replacement to light it up. It's like, those
are the games you want to win eight and seven
and your bats did to work. You know, you don't
want you don't want a spot starter to take two
or three stars from you and have an ERA of zero.
And I love the honesty because you rarely hear it,
especially in sports, and I've been noticing it just watching
(07:17):
Jazz Chisholm light it up with the Yankees, and I'm like,
I'm seeing verdu Go, I'm seeing Glaber, I'm seeing Lemayhew.
They're all given like their collapse, but deep down in
the back of their mind they have to be thinking,
oh man, we better step our game up or else
he's going to replace us in the lineup. You know,
there's always that level of competition that people don't like
to admit or talk about. There's an honesty that exists
(07:41):
in some places that doesn't in others. For instance, when
we were kids and you see this a loot on
the Joe Montana Cool under Pressure documentary Joe Cool. There
was no love lost between him and Steve Young. They
were both vocal with the press, the media, every we
both wanted the gig. Yeah, and Steve Young jokes that
(08:02):
Bill Walsh when they got Steve Young from the Tampa
Bay Bucks. Bill Walsh was a bigger fan, believe it
or not, of Steve Young and would tell him things like, Yeah,
Montana's almost done, don't worry. And then Montana goes onto
it a few more Super Bowls and you know, Steve
Young waited, and you can only imagine the numbers Steve
(08:23):
Young would have had.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
If he had not had a sit behind Joe Montana.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
For year after year after year after year after year,
rooting for your replacement.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Let's talk about it. Let's dive into it a little further.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. How about the
next guy? Because I thought of this. Let's say you
broke up. It's a matter of who did the dumping here.
That is true, right, I think that's what it comes
down to. Like for example, if your wife divorced you
or your girlfriend dumped you, you're not rooting for the
next guy. In fact, you're probably putting the hecks on
(08:56):
both of them. They got kidd he crap right, But
you had to do the breaking up and you felt
bad about it and you had that guilt like she
was a nice person, but it wasn't for me, and
you broke up with whoever she is. You're probably rooting
for the next guy because you just want that guy
to provide her with the life that you couldn't give her,
(09:17):
and it gets her off your back. Tell that's what
I mean, Like, you want that guy to give her
the love that she needed that you couldn't give her.
So I think in that case, you're rooting for the
next guy. Most of the time you were not. I
can't say that I ever was dumped and rooted for
the next guy ever, Not that I like rooted against him,
but I never rooted for them ever. I mean, Drew
(09:39):
Bledsoe was cracking jokes at Tom Brady's roast twenty years
and Ted still you could tell it's funny, but deep
down inside you think Drew Bledsoe was rooting for Tom Brady.
Nobody's really ever honest about that, And it's like, who
are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's your competition that's a lie. It's a weird lie
we'd like to tell, does it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There's a if you really want to put together, like
the list of top lives people say, even if you're
the most confident, you know what I mean? Like Katie
Perry did a great job, you really think she wants
to carry under it to do a better job. No way,
you think Wesley Snipes wants some mahersha Alie to take
the Blade franchise to levels it's never been before till there's.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
A new spider Man or Superman or Batman. You don't.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You don't think the previous ones, like I hope this
guy stinks you. You as especially in sports, you want
to be remembered as you were that better option, You
were the best.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That's that's just your human nature.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
At my point, I don't think you're ever rooting for
someone to be better than you, unless you say, oh
I got one, I got another exception, unless it's your kid.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I think as a as a.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Parent, you want your kid to be better than you
ever were at everything, if you're a normal, healthy person, right,
or maybe even your brother.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I I I my brother more than me. I did.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I never cared if my brother was if my brother
was the greatest whatever. I can see that, you know,
when we're often like Dan Bayern Monsey filling, I want
the bosses to think they're better than everyone accept us.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's kind.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Isn't that fair, though, dB? Isn't that fair and honest?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I want to bring an eye with Sam, because Sam,
what what is my golden rule in all of this?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
So whenever Dan is away, when he comes back, he
wants to hear that the show's completely got derailed. Yes, absence,
he wants. He just wants to be valued in that way. Yeah,
you cannot have someone filling for Dan and they were.
Just just tell Dan that everything was derailed If it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I want to hear about the chaos and how grateful
they are that I'm finally back and that the ship
is back on.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They're so great to see you man.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yes, oh my goodness, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And Crown is unmanageable.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Yes, yes, they my goodness, thank you you're I want
to hear how awful it was. I can't stand it
when I go, how are the shows like pretty good?
I I do?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Doesn't Dan Patrick have a production bit where he says
about that when he's off.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Isn't there a production fit?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Just don't cheat on me with other shows.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Don't cheat on me with other shows.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But I'm being honest when I said I Dan, Bayer
and Moncy, I think they're as good or better than
moshaws on this or other networks. I agree, but I
certainly don't want the vibe to be that. Man, they're
just who's on Rich? Yeah, but let's say let's say
we're off right, Let's let's be honest about this. We
go to social media at Covino and Rich and then
we see all these people like Man, Dan Bayern, Monzi,
(12:28):
I think they're better than CNR.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You think we want to hear that?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
But you love it when so many rights like when
are you guys coming back? Yeah, You're like, look, you're like, hey,
enjoy Dan and Monsey. Yet you have got like goose bumps,
that tingly feeling that You're like.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Why are people so reluctant to be honest about that?
Especially in sports?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Dan, Especially in sports, you rarely hear, you know, someone
saying like, yeah, man, it's good to see my replacement
filling in for my absence.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
But I have the answer, Dan, Like in our industry.
Say you're doing Morning Drive and it is a grind.
You're grinding your face off. All right, you're doing good
in the ratings, but you're tired because waking up that
early doing Morning Drive for weeks and weeks in a row.
You finally get a break and then say they tab
the afternoon guy or a guy on another shift who's
not in this great morning time slot, and he gets
(13:21):
to do that for a week.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
He goes balls to the wall, does all these.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
New bits and games, and he's tap dancing and he's
doing everything he could think of to win the hearts
of the audience, and a lot of times he does
because it's something new and refreshing for the guy that's
tired after doing a whole year of morning drive.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
So when you get back, it's like, oh, that guy
was great.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
But this is why some hosts they want somebody that's
just calm and kind of in between great.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And you think that's why Colin allows us to fill
in to him.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't think our network does that, but I've heard
some other shows yests where they on purpose will pick
a host that is not so wonderful because you know,
then there's no real threat there.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
For the same thing.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
That is really interesting when you think about it, when
you really think, I'm gonna be thinking about this later
on tonight too, because the truth is, and again it
ties into sports completely. No one wants to be wildy
pipped ever or drew bledsoe ever right now, nobody ever
wants that. You can't look at me with a straight
face or a gay face, or any face for that matter.
(14:28):
You can't look at me with any face and tell
me that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are rooting for
each other. No, they can appreciate the healthy competition. They
let's push each other further. They can respect that as adults.
But there's no way, no way, even within the Yankees clubhouse,
you don't think deep down inside John Carlow, Jan Soto,
(14:51):
Aaron Judge, when they're all healthy, you don't think they
want to be the guy that hits more home runs
like everyone like, you can't beasley in sports because you're
talking about ultimate competitors, especially in sports. So again, two
stories today and they were like back to back. That's
what made me think of this. Carrie Underwood's replacing Katie Perry,
herschel Ali is replacing Wesley Snipes's blade. There's no way
(15:15):
that these dudes want them to do better. It's just
how it is good choice. By the way, when you think,
I don't know why it didn't even click. Katy Perry
was great on that show. Carrie Underwood's the most successful
alumni on that show.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah, so it really is like a full circle push too,
because and they're both kind of hots and they're both
but you know what, Carrie Underwoods, because you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Pop radio guru guy. Pretty certain it was five when
Carrie Underwood won American Idol, so twenty years after the fact,
which is a pretty cool thought, right.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I was hoping Taylor Hicks was gonna be.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
How you were rooting for Sengaya. I thought bo Bie
should have been the guy.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
But anyway, your thoughts on that rooting for your replacement
rarely happens. We gave you the examples that we could
think of. I mean again, like you said, you gave
all the points we can move on, and I think
the main point is in relationships and work and sports.
If you've moved on and you're happy, then you're okay
(16:14):
rooting for the success like Aaron Rodgers for real, he's
on the Jets, he's won a Super Bowl, he's in
a different place. I'm sure he does feel like yoah,
you go, Jordan Love, because that doesn't bother Aaron Rodgers
at this point. But if someone's pushed out that's the difference,
then it's like, yes, screw there it is, so they
have it all right Now, coming up, we are gonna
(16:36):
do mid week major spots. Got all the headlines in
the world of sports and entertainment, and before the end
of the show today, no tomorrow, we're gonna dive head
first like we're an Olympic diver into the NFL because
tomorrow is Greay One Hall of Fame game tomorrow. And
I think the most interesting thing that maybe we'll try
to get to before the end of today's show. We'll
talk about the season tomorrow. We're gonna see something tomorrow.
(16:59):
Usually game no One is boring, right, like no one's
really starting, but we're gonna see the new kickoff rules.
And I think that alone is reason to really keep
an eye on Game one of the preseason, Like what
is that gonna bring. We're gonna see guys running the
ball back to the forty five yard line or we're
gonna see you know, any touchbacks.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Are we gonna see injuries? Like, what are we gonna say?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
We're also gonna see Tyson Bagent our new friend, our
new favorite Burpie broad jumped the team onto the field.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
To start a burpee broad jump into the end zone.
You'll see. Can't wait, so we'll get to some NFL
and of course midweek major next right here on Fox

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I'm not even blade he wishes he had a rapid radio.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
By the way, I was asking Brie and some of
the editors the question we talked about on our Patreon
this morning. Is it harder to ask your boss for
something you want or your significant other? And everyone says
the same thing. It's harder to ask your significant other.
And I know why because in business it's very black
and white and cut and dry and its transactional and
you know, hey, I work for you. Here's what I
expect and here's what you expect from me. Relationship. That's
(20:47):
that's a much tougher discussion.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
You all need therapy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
No, it's likely, it's likely spots, that's likely.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (20:53):

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Before we hand things over to the number one and

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Hi, guys, thanks for giving me some time today.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Of course I don't know that much going on all right, So,
as you may or may not know, many Olympians received
little to no salary for competing.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Did you know this?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yes, most earning less than about twenty five k years
sad for their sport.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
There are metal bonuses.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Do you know that there were metal bonuses?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
I did, and ours are significantly low, very low our
metal bonuses. It's thirty five k for gold, twenty two
five hundred for silver, and fifteen thousand for bronze. I
saw Singapore does like seven hundred thousand dollars for their goal.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You know what it's said before you even finish. It's sadder.
The saddest thing is like hawk.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
To a girl gets more to show up at a club,
then come up and someone gets to win a gold medal.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
She's in my news stay tuned anyway. So the higher
profile athletes rely on a lot of endorsement deals. I
can go over those a few of those in a minute.
But my favorite endorsement comes from none other than Italy's
gymnast Georgia Villa. Villa won silver this week in artistic gymnastics.
She's sponsored by cheese, specifically specifically Parmesano Reggiano.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You know you've had it.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
You get it at the your Italian food seen the
giant wheels or the wedges at the store.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But that's not the best part.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
The best part is that as part of her endorsement deal,
she did a whole photoshoot with wheels of Cheese's she's
there's one where she's like holding a giant wheel cheese.
The one where she's doing like a split across like
four wheels of cheese. Well, so yeah, there's a lot
of like photos of If you're into cheese and you're
into gymnasts, let me tell you this is your day,
(23:40):
So go check it out online on social media anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Cheese and gymnasts as two of my kinks right midweek
or major.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Geez there you go, let me tell you, I'm a
big fan of it. You go to an a Tinian restaurant,
they go, would you like some cheese? I would say yes,
I keep going. I like say when keep going?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Say when?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'll tell you keep going. I think this is great.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Listen any endorsements these great athletes can make. If it's
hugging wheels and.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Cheese, so be it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think they gotta get funny, bet it like she
should do like a funny Central ad where she's like
slowly grindr and know how this is a headline. Rich's
wife does this in every family photo.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Get it whe cheese, get it in the cheese It
Cheesy's got Rich Davis.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Look, this is a it's a mid story. But you're right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
These photos are everywhere so great, and it is nice
to see that they have other ways to make money.
Because when I see what Simone Biles gets for winning,
she won, like what thirty seven thousand bonus money.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
By the way, she gets eight point she had got
last year eight point five million in sponsorships from brands
like Athletic Power Aided Weedy.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, she's a fantastic but making that thirty seven thousand
bonus compared to what other countries get, Like Spot said,
seven hundred plus when you're in Singapore and other tries
who value their elite athletes Singapore.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Singapore probably just has to pay one person. That's why.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But seriously, man, so hey wa, don't are many goals.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
It's a mid story, but it's really weak how we
pay our athletes.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I agree, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
A few Olympic stories.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Sticking with the Olympic news, a lot of drama going
on with the women's gymnastics of Team Simone Biles is
involved in some off the mat drama with her twenty
twenty Olympic teammate Michaeleas Skinner. Earlier this summer, Skinner posted
a video after the formation of Team USA saying that
besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth
(25:38):
just isn't what it used to be. A lot of
girls don't work as hard. They just don't have the
work ethic. Video has since been deleted, but Simone Biles
poked some fun in it after the Team USA won gold,
with the caption saying lack of talent lazy Olympic champions.
So she poked fun and apparently Skinner came back blocked
all the team on social media is getting a lot
(26:00):
of like you know, buzz, like drama buzz going on
midweek or major.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Man, this is this is major. You don't have it.
I mean you don't have to lie you care about
like gymnast beef. But it's a story. I think it is.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's a good I told you so right, Like no,
it's a great motivator. Can we know people doubting you right?
And essentially the old teammate doubted her. They won gold.
I think a little nanny Nanny pooh pooh is good,
So props to Simone Biles. I do think it's major
because I don't think I make Kayla Skinner's wrong, even
though some Simone Biles proved her to be wrong in
this particular case. Take a look around. There's a bunch
(26:35):
of lazy young people out there. They're not on their grind.
Not everybody's grinding like Eric Nice, like the dude on
the Bears. Not everybody's grinding. There's a lot of people
and it comes from frustration. I get it because they're
not getting anywhere in their career and they're not making
the money they want to make. But it's not just
in gymnastics. It's in life, So I don't think she's
wrong in saying that. If that's what motivated them, then good.
(26:57):
All right, One more Olympic story. Yeah, Olympic judo star.
An Olympic judo star. I know you're a big fan
of Olympic judo. It's your top top sport.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Is recovering from his win over Italy's Manuel Lombardo. Where
so the Olympic guy secured bronze, his first Olympic medal. However,
his injury sustained was not during the actual match. It
actually happened after the fact when he was celebrating his win.
So it was Moldova's Adil Osmanoff was celebrating so hard
(27:30):
in the middle of his celebration, grabbed his right arm.
Apparently he dislocated his shoulder in the middle of his celebration.
Anymore events coming up for him or no, So he's
done that. He won his bronze. This was his dream
to win bronze. He was able to make the medal
ceremony and apparently he delayed shoulder surgery unlike me, so
he could compete in the game. So now I guess
you can have a shoulder surgery. Now that he won bronze, midweek.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Er major, what's major to the bikinis on this French
beach volleyball team.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm watching all right, focus, I'm sorry, what are we asking? Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
The guy getting injured? No, it reminds me of the
satus injury of all time. Please fill in the blank
for me. Morales, dude, Kendrey Morales. Remember he had a
walk off home run, jumped on home plate, hurt himself.
Never the same yo injury freak. Accidents like that really
upset me because celebration, celebration, that's it's unfortunate. But you
know what, he has four years storry about it. Now
(28:18):
he won his metal. Go back home. They're proud of you.
Moldov is really excited. There you go, Muldova. So hey,
he wins the bronze. This is a mid story because
I don't know this, dude, Okay, I do agree with
rich because when you get injured celebrating like that, it really.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Ruins the moment. It's not like he got.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Injured, you know, frustratingly, like punching something, or like breaking
his hand because he punched a wall.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I'll like Kevin Brown or something. Story always upset me. Man,
and when he jumped on home plate after I think
it was a walkwak friend slam yeah, and man, that's not.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
What you want. All right, over to the Kelsey Bros.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Okay, the Kelsey Bros Have the hottest podcast going, as
you know, with their new Heights podcast, source of at
least one midweek major story week. Well, it seems like
they're capitalizing on all the attention they've been getting over
the last year or so. Not only with I mean
they're they're pretty good. The podcast does well before, of course,
the tailor swift attention came into play. They're now seeking
a potential one hundred dollar deal for their podcast. They've
(29:18):
been in talks with the podcast company company Wondery, whose
parent company is Amazon, so we know they have the money.
There's no details on the specifics of the length of
the contract, how many episodes involved. Currently, their podcast ranks
fourth in all of podcasts ever created by audience We'd
number three, with no signs of slowing.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
So big thing for the major It's it's pretty wild
right in the world of sports entertainment everything. I'm guessing
Rogan and call Her Daddy might be the only people
bigger than the Kelsey bros.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Right now, it's wild. Listen.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
As a broadcaster, there's a part of me that wants
to be jealous and be like me, come on, all right,
we'll save it for me. Then I'll be that Okay,
I'll pass it to you because I my first thought
is listen. If the audience is there and they're playing
off the Taylor Swift hype and everything they got going on,
you're really just looking for ears and eyes in the
world the broadcasting, TV, radio, streaming. So hey, you could
(30:11):
say the product's good, but the eyes and ears are substantial.
So hey, congrats to them. They got plans after football.
It's a major deal. I mean it's one hundred million
dollar deal, so that's very major. But look where they
household names before Taylor Swift. Absolutely they're successful. They would
have been doing well regardless, but Taylor Swift put them
to the next level. But I just don't like as
(30:32):
a broadcaster, as Rich said, and I wish them all
the best. This hasn't coming from a hateful place at all,
but we've gone to a place where these big companies
are just signing names and you're not getting quality product.
They're not being signed a hundred million dollars because they're
the greatest broadcasters putting on the greatest shows. And as
a dude that takes pride in putting out entertaining product
(30:54):
and that's what people are tuning in for. It makes
makes me say, well, hey, we know what, because we're
not famous enough. Show should have hit on Taylor Swift
when you met her, so.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
We'd have that big deal.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Who would have thought?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
We're losing quality for big names. And you see that
in all forms of media. You're not getting the best broadcasters.
You're just getting the best names, the biggest names. And
that's good for a press release and good for big
companies are looking for that big press release, not necessarily
quality content.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I can't disagree one more else sneaking one more.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Travis should capitalize on this while he can.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Rich.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I'm gonna give you your four favorite people all in
one story. Travis Kelsey, Okay, Taylor Swift, Bill Maher, and
Hawk to a Girl Okay in one story. So Bill
Maher has officially waited on the Travis and Taylor Swift
relationship with Hawk to a Girl when she appeared on
his podcast earlier this week. Branding pok. I know this
(31:54):
is I mean, it's MIDWEK major. I have the options
to say this save the real news for Dan Byer.
He thinks that she's too old. Taylor is too old
to be flaunting jerseys at the game, and that her
high school declarations of love will scare off Travis. He
thinks that Travis is on the brink of dumping Taylor
Swift and say that it's like gatorade at the super Bowl.
(32:15):
You know you're gonna get dumped. You just don't know
when that's funny. Okay, o.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Girl, Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I like Bill Marh, but this is a nonsense take.
You're coming from like a fifty six year old, like
single guy. I never had kids or a family, not
pulling a JD Van store. You calling up a crazy
crazy cat lady. What I'm just saying, What does Bill
Maher know about the romance of Taylor and Travis Kelsey?
But I do like Bill Maher. It's a non story.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
He's just talking a little smack for fun, and of
course it gets exaggerated because it is Taylor.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Swift to a girl. This is a very mid story.
I agree, you know, much like I wish Kelsey the
best is one hundred million dollar broadcasting deal, and I
wish them the best in love and in life.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I mean, I think that he is smitten with Taylor Swift.
That's my impression. So I don't know what sort of
inside scoop Bill Maher has on it. That's a mid story,
right there you go. Thanks, Thanks, it's buddy, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Now for the real news, I'm dad by her.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
Dan.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
Guys, there's some history today at the Olympics. Oh, Katie
Ledeki winning another gold, her record tying eighth gold medal.
She claimed it in the fifteen hundred meter freestyle. You
guys are talking about this before the show. How dominant
Laedeki has been with her times in the fifteen hundred meters.
She has secured the top twenty times all time in
(33:39):
this event.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
She has all twenty all the same. That is like
truly a travesty if we don't bring her up in
the goat conversation like we often leave out Michael Phelps, right,
I mean, don't you have to bring her up when
we're talking goats?
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Yeah, you have to bring her up. But here's another thing.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
In comparison, now, Phelps has twenty three gold medals in
his career.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
This was Ladeki eighth.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Okay, right perspective.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, so there's top twenty, sure, and that's pretty that's
pretty insane, you know.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
And phelpscott some of his in relays as well, but
there's u but yeah, no, you're absolutely right, her twelfth medal. Overall,
only three other Olympic athletes I believe have more gold
medals than she does from the Summer Games, Phelps, Carl Lewis,
and Mark Spitz. So that's pretty pretty heavy company right there.
(34:27):
Francis the Omar shaan Wan gold on the two hundred
meter breastroke and two hundred meter butterfly, his second and
third medals of the Olympics, becoming the fourth winner swimmer
to win three or more individual medals in a single
Olympic Games. The US took care of South sut Ana
men's basketball today one O three eighty six. Jason Tatum
started after not playing against Serbia. Bam Adebayo led the
Americans with eighteen points there onto the quarterfinals. Coco Goff's
(34:49):
Olympics are over. Tough day is the American tennis player
lost in mixed doubles and women's doubles, so she has
done and Rafael Nadal may be done as well.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
He and Carlos Alcarez lost in their match at Roland Garros.
Today could be the finale for Nadal, who yes, is
very close to retirement. A couple of other notes, your Yankees.
Cavino of won five straight, sweeping the Phillies today six
to five. Dj Lamayhew grand slam knocked in all six
for the Yankees. The Orioles got a grand slam from
Jackson Holiday his first career home run in a ten
(35:19):
to four win against Toronto Braves. Awesome, yeah, brazy, he
struggled his first time. Correct just called him up as well.
So a way to uh to start fresh start anew
in Baltimore and did so with the grand slam today,
Brewers and Braves. This would have went to Atlanta six
to two. Cardinals took care of the Rangers ten to one.
Royals won against the White Sox at ten to three
(35:41):
and the Cleveland Cavalier since center Jared Allen to a
three year MAX extension worth ninety one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Back to you, guys, Hey, Dan Buyer, if you were
an Olympic swimmer, would you go full body single it
would you go the biker pants or the speed up?
Speaker 6 (35:54):
It would probably I'd probably go biker pants.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I'd also have to after seeing French Guy. You know yeah, yeah, No,
I want Yeah, I want Dan byron Espedo. That what
I dream of every night. You have a great night
man guy. What do you go with if you had to?
If you had to be an Olympic Showhere you go
in the the biker shorts, three stooges style, the stripe.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
That stripe stripes.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
I think I would do Adam Sandler shorts, huge basketball.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
There'd be a raider logo on the podcast swim chunks
that actually slow you.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Down, Danny Raiderny Radio. Thank you, Thank you, guys. Cavino
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And now coming up
before we get out of here, I do want to
talk about the new NFL kickoff rules. You may say insignificant,
you may say completely relevant, because this could be a
(36:49):
game changer. I got to ask you do you think
it will be? We haven't seen it yet. It debuts tomorrow.
We'll break it down next give being on Rich Right
here on Fox Sports Radio, we are Covino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio live from the Tyraq dot com studios.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Did you hear that? Rich live from the tyrack dot
com studios. We are love.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
It's getting late early, so I want to remind you
that tomorrow we're starting the weekend because Thursday's the new Friday.
We go old school and fifty hits, we reminisced. We
throw it back on Thursday. So join us at Covino
and Rich at Steve Covino if you want to see
me and David Justice. By the way up until Jazz Chisholm.
(37:32):
They say he was the greatest trade deadline acquisition for
the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Back in two thousand and.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
David Justice was up here at Fox Sports Radio with
the great Round Parker, and you snapped a photo for me.
I posted that at Steve Covino if you want to
check it out. David Justice Justice, I got to wear
the World Series ring and everything. So thanks for the
follow and the friendship at Covino and Rich at Steve Covino,
at Rich Davis, and I know you're super pumped because
(37:58):
this is sort of like football. Leave it's listen as
the meme goes starting tomorrow. If your wife or girlfriend
that's not into football, asks. You could say, honey, uh yeah,
there's football every week now until Valentine's Day, we begin
the greatest part of the year, football season.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Can't wait.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I mean it's kind of action packed between the Olympics.
Baseball's he eating well, do you know it's also interesting
football football time out for a second for a second.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
And we have NBA are players in the Olympics. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yeah, it's a really interesting time because baseball you got
Bud Crawford fighting this weekend. I'm not saying I'm a
fair weather fan, but when your team is under five
hundred and stinks towards the end of the year, you
zone out because football starts and other things happen.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
You're not invested as much.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I mean, who would be. I mean, when football starts,
you're not following your team. That's twenty games under five
hundred in baseball as closely.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Well more teams are are in the mix.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I was just showing Cavino the National League wildcard standings.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
And it's wild, It's stupid.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's so amazing how the Braves, Diamondbacks, Padres, Mets, Cardinals,
and Pittsburgh Pirates are all within two games of each
other fighting for three wildcard spots. So if anything, the
National League wildcard playoff chase is gonna be amazing going
(39:20):
down the stretch. And you got the breakdancing competition coming
up Friday, eight days bro isn't it?
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Eight days from ound?
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Friday?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
The ninth? O? Wait, ninth is my birthday? Oh wow?
Is that why they're doing it that day night? Popping
and locking. I'm gonna be inch in for a scratches.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
You love a baby.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I'm gonna bust down my old kangle hats for this event.
You wait and see busting out my boom box. I'm
coming into work with cardboard that day, popping in, locking,
doing the worm to work. So yeah, it's an interesting
time for sure. Lots of cool things now football bam,
don't talk about that. By the way, well Isaac's here.
He just missed the cut. Isaac Longcrown just missed the
(39:55):
cut for US Breakdancing, I know.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
And forget cardboard. He has atripple in in the update
booths so.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
I love it so low and Cron was at Jabbewalkee
wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
But there were Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I think it will tourist a Yeah, that's unfortunate. The
NFL tomorrow again. No Kateleb Williams. Aaron Rodgers went on
and on at Jets camp talking about preseason no one plays.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You know, it's like, we get it, no one plays.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
But the one thing to look forward to besides Tyson
Maaijen our new favorite, uh you know, workhorse backup quarterback
for the Bears. S grinds his face off. Bears Titans tomorrow.
You don't have to care about the backups on these teams.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Is it Texans? I thought it was Titans, my bed.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
I'm excited about the kickoff rules that starts up tomorrow
and the NFL. Every year, the rules committee has a
couple of little tweaks and changes here and there, but this.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Is a big one.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
This is Can you remember the last time there was
a one this big? Maybe when they went to the
two point conversion possibility, or maybe some instant replay rules.
But it's been a while since there's been significant changes.
And when you're telling me that the whole alignment for
the kickoff changes, we don't know if each teams has
a wide receiver that's now gonna double as a specialist,
(41:16):
like we don't know the strategy, it might change the
whole special teams outlook in the NFL, some teams may
be downstating this, downplaying it, Danny and be like, yeah, yeah, whatever,
it's special teams. There might be teams with strategicy that
might be saying, Yo, this is our chance to start
the ball to forty.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Especially late in games. That's when you could see star
players for each team suddenly have that role. Possibly not
not to quote.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
My Niners, because you know that's my team. Deebo.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Samuel has made it very clear he wants part of this,
and a guy like Deebo, if he gets the ball
in the open field on a kickoff like that, it
could be a game changer or so all goes down manyana.
I will say, until then, have a great night. A
Reba there you baby, you in a promised land.

Really, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's like a nice guy now. Well, because it has
to be mean right back.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's why.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So Carrie Underwood, Carrie Underwood, how most of finalizing a
deal She's replacing Katy Perry. Okay, so hold on to
that story. By the way, who you a bigger fan of?
When I say fan, you know what I mean. I
talked about this. I don't mean their catalog. My wife
looks more like a Carrie Underwood. I've always I've liked blondes.
But man, Katy Perry, there's something that oozes sexuality. There
(03:33):
is Katy Perry. To me, it would eat most of
you alive. Wow, I'm going Katy Perry. Now, she's a
great judge on American Idol.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
What are you doing there?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But but Katy Perry was making tens of millions of dollars.
So Carrie Underwood, I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it,
but Sunday Night Football's theme American Idol judge. And on
top of that, like you know, the platinum album after album,
if a touring and everything she's doing from a little
country bumpkin that one American Idol.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
She's doing all right, you said pumpkin?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Now hold on, now, hold on to that story. Carrie
Underwood replacing Katy Perry, gotcha check. With all the popularity
of Deadpool and Wolverine, there's been a lot of clips
and highlights of Wesley Snipes talking about how he got
the phone call to reprise his role as Blade in
(04:28):
the movie. Hate to give away the cameo, but come on, spoiler,
you spoiler not have social media?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You got spoiler.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Hey, it's a lot of place. No, you gotta give
it a week. Felman.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So Wesley Snipes is all over the news talking about
you know, it was a surprise.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
To me because.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I don't know if you guys knew this, but maherschela
Ali is replacing him as Blade moving forward. So he's like,
I didn't understand. But I was like, hell, yeah, I'll
do it if you can make it happen. If Disney
and Marvel and everybody thinks that I could be Blade, sure,
why the hell not. And they had worked together in
the past. So he's been talking about it everywhere. Yeah,
(05:16):
so I'm not hearing anything. So anyway, you got meherschela
Ali replacing Wesley Snipes that's been announced as Blade moving forward.
Got Carrie Underwood replacing Katy Perry. Both of these stories
viral today and in the news today based on I
Have a Question for you, and it does tie into
sports because we all know the story of Wally Pip.
(05:38):
Do you root for your replacement in life on your
day off and your relationship? I mean, I think it
depends on where you are. Aaron Rodgers just said that, Hey,
with all that money Aaron Jordan Love just got, maybe
he could buy my old house in Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's interesting because in all of our years of talking
sports and living life, I can only think of one
guy that we've ever talked to that was honest about this,
and that was on our show Cavino and Rich at
Sirius six seven at the time we talked to Barry Zito.
You remember what he said, Barry Zito, former Oakland A
(06:15):
that's what I giant, San Francisco Giant. Yeah, the guy
just oozed the Bay Area. That dude oozed curveballs. He
had a nasty he had some nasty stuff. He had
a great movement. H Barry Zito, great pitcher, really nice guy.
He's a musician as well. If you follow Barry Zito.
He actually he was a cool dude. Actually just a
(06:36):
cut from a cut from the cloth of a really
like fun guy. He was honest with us and he
said if he was ever replaced in a rotation, spot start,
he was a little banged up, injured, new team, whatever
the case may be. He always wanted his team to win.
But he's like, I can't lie to you. I never
(06:56):
wanted my replacement to light it up. It's like, those
are the games you want to win eight and seven
and your bats did to work. You know, you don't
want you don't want a spot starter to take two
or three stars from you and have an ERA of zero.
And I love the honesty because you rarely hear it,
especially in sports, and I've been noticing it just watching
(07:17):
Jazz Chisholm light it up with the Yankees, and I'm like,
I'm seeing verdu Go, I'm seeing Glaber, I'm seeing Lemayhew.
They're all given like their collapse, but deep down in
the back of their mind they have to be thinking,
oh man, we better step our game up or else
he's going to replace us in the lineup. You know,
there's always that level of competition that people don't like
to admit or talk about. There's an honesty that exists
(07:41):
in some places that doesn't in others. For instance, when
we were kids and you see this a loot on
the Joe Montana Cool under Pressure documentary Joe Cool. There
was no love lost between him and Steve Young. They
were both vocal with the press, the media, every we
both wanted the gig. Yeah, and Steve Young jokes that
(08:02):
Bill Walsh when they got Steve Young from the Tampa
Bay Bucks. Bill Walsh was a bigger fan, believe it
or not, of Steve Young and would tell him things like, Yeah,
Montana's almost done, don't worry. And then Montana goes onto
it a few more Super Bowls and you know, Steve
Young waited, and you can only imagine the numbers Steve
(08:23):
Young would have had.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
If he had not had a sit behind Joe Montana.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
For year after year after year after year after year,
rooting for your replacement.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Let's talk about it. Let's dive into it a little further.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. How about the
next guy? Because I thought of this. Let's say you
broke up. It's a matter of who did the dumping here.
That is true, right, I think that's what it comes
down to. Like for example, if your wife divorced you
or your girlfriend dumped you, you're not rooting for the
next guy. In fact, you're probably putting the hecks on
(08:56):
both of them. They got kidd he crap right, But
you had to do the breaking up and you felt
bad about it and you had that guilt like she
was a nice person, but it wasn't for me, and
you broke up with whoever she is. You're probably rooting
for the next guy because you just want that guy
to provide her with the life that you couldn't give her,
(09:17):
and it gets her off your back. Tell that's what
I mean, Like, you want that guy to give her
the love that she needed that you couldn't give her.
So I think in that case, you're rooting for the
next guy. Most of the time you were not. I
can't say that I ever was dumped and rooted for
the next guy ever, Not that I like rooted against him,
but I never rooted for them ever. I mean, Drew
(09:39):
Bledsoe was cracking jokes at Tom Brady's roast twenty years
and Ted still you could tell it's funny, but deep
down inside you think Drew Bledsoe was rooting for Tom Brady.
Nobody's really ever honest about that, And it's like, who
are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's your competition that's a lie. It's a weird lie
we'd like to tell, does it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
There's a if you really want to put together, like
the list of top lives people say, even if you're
the most confident, you know what I mean? Like Katie
Perry did a great job, you really think she wants
to carry under it to do a better job. No way,
you think Wesley Snipes wants some mahersha Alie to take
the Blade franchise to levels it's never been before till there's.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
A new spider Man or Superman or Batman. You don't.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You don't think the previous ones, like I hope this
guy stinks you. You as especially in sports, you want
to be remembered as you were that better option, You
were the best.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
That's that's just your human nature.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
At my point, I don't think you're ever rooting for
someone to be better than you, unless you say, oh
I got one, I got another exception, unless it's your kid.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I think as a as a.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Parent, you want your kid to be better than you
ever were at everything, if you're a normal, healthy person, right,
or maybe even your brother.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I I I my brother more than me. I did.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I never cared if my brother was if my brother
was the greatest whatever. I can see that, you know,
when we're often like Dan Bayern Monsey filling, I want
the bosses to think they're better than everyone accept us.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's kind.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Isn't that fair, though, dB? Isn't that fair and honest?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I want to bring an eye with Sam, because Sam,
what what is my golden rule in all of this?
Speaker 7 (11:16):
So whenever Dan is away, when he comes back, he
wants to hear that the show's completely got derailed. Yes, absence,
he wants. He just wants to be valued in that way. Yeah,
you cannot have someone filling for Dan and they were.
Just just tell Dan that everything was derailed If it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
I want to hear about the chaos and how grateful
they are that I'm finally back and that the ship
is back on.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They're so great to see you man.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yes, oh my goodness, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And Crown is unmanageable.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Yes, yes, they my goodness, thank you you're I want
to hear how awful it was. I can't stand it
when I go, how are the shows like pretty good?
I I do?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Doesn't Dan Patrick have a production bit where he says
about that when he's off.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Isn't there a production fit?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Just don't cheat on me with other shows.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Don't cheat on me with other shows.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But I'm being honest when I said I Dan, Bayer
and Moncy, I think they're as good or better than
moshaws on this or other networks. I agree, but I
certainly don't want the vibe to be that. Man, they're
just who's on Rich? Yeah, but let's say let's say
we're off right, Let's let's be honest about this. We
go to social media at Covino and Rich and then
we see all these people like Man, Dan Bayern, Monzi,
(12:28):
I think they're better than CNR.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You think we want to hear that?
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
But you love it when so many rights like when
are you guys coming back? Yeah, You're like, look, you're like, hey,
enjoy Dan and Monsey. Yet you have got like goose bumps,
that tingly feeling that You're like.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Why are people so reluctant to be honest about that?
Especially in sports?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Dan, Especially in sports, you rarely hear, you know, someone
saying like, yeah, man, it's good to see my replacement
filling in for my absence.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
But I have the answer, Dan, Like in our industry.
Say you're doing Morning Drive and it is a grind.
You're grinding your face off. All right, you're doing good
in the ratings, but you're tired because waking up that
early doing Morning Drive for weeks and weeks in a row.
You finally get a break and then say they tab
the afternoon guy or a guy on another shift who's
not in this great morning time slot, and he gets
(13:21):
to do that for a week.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
He goes balls to the wall, does all these.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
New bits and games, and he's tap dancing and he's
doing everything he could think of to win the hearts
of the audience, and a lot of times he does
because it's something new and refreshing for the guy that's
tired after doing a whole year of morning drive.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
So when you get back, it's like, oh, that guy
was great.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
But this is why some hosts they want somebody that's
just calm and kind of in between great.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
And you think that's why Colin allows us to fill
in to him.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't think our network does that, but I've heard
some other shows yests where they on purpose will pick
a host that is not so wonderful because you know,
then there's no real threat there.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
For the same thing.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
That is really interesting when you think about it, when
you really think, I'm gonna be thinking about this later
on tonight too, because the truth is, and again it
ties into sports completely. No one wants to be wildy
pipped ever or drew bledsoe ever right now, nobody ever
wants that. You can't look at me with a straight
face or a gay face, or any face for that matter.
(14:28):
You can't look at me with any face and tell
me that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are rooting for
each other. No, they can appreciate the healthy competition. They
let's push each other further. They can respect that as adults.
But there's no way, no way, even within the Yankees clubhouse,
you don't think deep down inside John Carlow, Jan Soto,
(14:51):
Aaron Judge, when they're all healthy, you don't think they
want to be the guy that hits more home runs
like everyone like, you can't beasley in sports because you're
talking about ultimate competitors, especially in sports. So again, two
stories today and they were like back to back. That's
what made me think of this. Carrie Underwood's replacing Katie Perry,
herschel Ali is replacing Wesley Snipes's blade. There's no way
(15:15):
that these dudes want them to do better. It's just
how it is good choice. By the way, when you think,
I don't know why it didn't even click. Katy Perry
was great on that show. Carrie Underwood's the most successful
alumni on that show.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah, so it really is like a full circle push too,
because and they're both kind of hots and they're both
but you know what, Carrie Underwoods, because you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Pop radio guru guy. Pretty certain it was five when
Carrie Underwood won American Idol, so twenty years after the fact,
which is a pretty cool thought, right.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I was hoping Taylor Hicks was gonna be.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
How you were rooting for Sengaya. I thought bo Bie
should have been the guy.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
But anyway, your thoughts on that rooting for your replacement
rarely happens. We gave you the examples that we could
think of. I mean again, like you said, you gave
all the points we can move on, and I think
the main point is in relationships and work and sports.
If you've moved on and you're happy, then you're okay
(16:14):
rooting for the success like Aaron Rodgers for real, he's
on the Jets, he's won a Super Bowl, he's in
a different place. I'm sure he does feel like yoah,
you go, Jordan Love, because that doesn't bother Aaron Rodgers
at this point. But if someone's pushed out that's the difference,
then it's like, yes, screw there it is, so they
have it all right Now, coming up, we are gonna
(16:36):
do mid week major spots. Got all the headlines in
the world of sports and entertainment, and before the end
of the show today, no tomorrow, we're gonna dive head
first like we're an Olympic diver into the NFL because
tomorrow is Greay One Hall of Fame game tomorrow. And
I think the most interesting thing that maybe we'll try
to get to before the end of today's show. We'll
talk about the season tomorrow. We're gonna see something tomorrow.
(16:59):
Usually game no One is boring, right, like no one's
really starting, but we're gonna see the new kickoff rules.
And I think that alone is reason to really keep
an eye on Game one of the preseason, Like what
is that gonna bring. We're gonna see guys running the
ball back to the forty five yard line or we're
gonna see you know, any touchbacks.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Are we gonna see injuries? Like, what are we gonna say?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
We're also gonna see Tyson Bagent our new friend, our
new favorite Burpie broad jumped the team onto the field.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
To start a burpee broad jump into the end zone.
You'll see. Can't wait, so we'll get to some NFL
and of course midweek major next right here on Fox

least speaking of him.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I'm not even blade he wishes he had a rapid radio.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
By the way, I was asking Brie and some of
the editors the question we talked about on our Patreon
this morning. Is it harder to ask your boss for
something you want or your significant other? And everyone says
the same thing. It's harder to ask your significant other.
And I know why because in business it's very black
and white and cut and dry and its transactional and
you know, hey, I work for you. Here's what I
expect and here's what you expect from me. Relationship. That's
(20:47):
that's a much tougher discussion.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
You all need therapy.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
No, it's likely, it's likely spots, that's likely.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
All right, Well, hey, let's let's get into it Midweek Major,
shall we.
Speaker 8 (20:58):

Speaker 8 (21:05):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the

Speaker 5 (21:11):
That's summit.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
We definitely leader.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
See in our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 11 (21:18):
Aha, that's a good one, real good one.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
That's pretty good. That was for the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, that's a that's a silver medal scrept.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
He's got the lung capacity of Katie Ladeci.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this award winning or non award winning segment,
we like to roll the two big red love dice
in the main studio.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
There, I just rolled the four. Let's say what I got.
You've got a four? Very easy to beat unless I
totally fail.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Eight.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
God it Rich got the.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
A right, so Rich gets first take as we hand
things over, ladies and gentlemen to the one and only
the most famous person from Scotch Plains, New Jersey besides
Judy Bloom spotty boy.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Hi, guys, thanks for giving me some time today.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Of course I don't know that much going on all right, So,
as you may or may not know, many Olympians received
little to no salary for competing.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Did you know this?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yes, most earning less than about twenty five k years
sad for their sport.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
There are metal bonuses.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Do you know that there were metal bonuses?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
I did, and ours are significantly low, very low our
metal bonuses. It's thirty five k for gold, twenty two
five hundred for silver, and fifteen thousand for bronze. I
saw Singapore does like seven hundred thousand dollars for their goal.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You know what it's said before you even finish. It's sadder.
The saddest thing is like hawk.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
To a girl gets more to show up at a club,
then come up and someone gets to win a gold medal.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
She's in my news stay tuned anyway. So the higher
profile athletes rely on a lot of endorsement deals. I
can go over those a few of those in a minute.
But my favorite endorsement comes from none other than Italy's
gymnast Georgia Villa. Villa won silver this week in artistic gymnastics.
She's sponsored by cheese, specifically specifically Parmesano Reggiano.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You know you've had it.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
You get it at the your Italian food seen the
giant wheels or the wedges at the store.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But that's not the best part.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
The best part is that as part of her endorsement deal,
she did a whole photoshoot with wheels of Cheese's she's
there's one where she's like holding a giant wheel cheese.
The one where she's doing like a split across like
four wheels of cheese. Well, so yeah, there's a lot
of like photos of If you're into cheese and you're
into gymnasts, let me tell you this is your day,
(23:40):
So go check it out online on social media anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Cheese and gymnasts as two of my kinks right midweek
or major.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Geez there you go, let me tell you, I'm a
big fan of it. You go to an a Tinian restaurant,
they go, would you like some cheese? I would say yes,
I keep going. I like say when keep going?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Say when?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'll tell you keep going. I think this is great.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Listen any endorsements these great athletes can make. If it's
hugging wheels and.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Cheese, so be it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think they gotta get funny, bet it like she
should do like a funny Central ad where she's like
slowly grindr and know how this is a headline. Rich's
wife does this in every family photo.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Get it whe cheese, get it in the cheese It
Cheesy's got Rich Davis.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Look, this is a it's a mid story. But you're right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
These photos are everywhere so great, and it is nice
to see that they have other ways to make money.
Because when I see what Simone Biles gets for winning,
she won, like what thirty seven thousand bonus money.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
By the way, she gets eight point she had got
last year eight point five million in sponsorships from brands
like Athletic Power Aided Weedy.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, she's a fantastic but making that thirty seven thousand
bonus compared to what other countries get, Like Spot said,
seven hundred plus when you're in Singapore and other tries
who value their elite athletes Singapore.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Singapore probably just has to pay one person. That's why.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
No.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But seriously, man, so hey wa, don't are many goals.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
It's a mid story, but it's really weak how we
pay our athletes.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I agree, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
A few Olympic stories.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Sticking with the Olympic news, a lot of drama going
on with the women's gymnastics of Team Simone Biles is
involved in some off the mat drama with her twenty
twenty Olympic teammate Michaeleas Skinner. Earlier this summer, Skinner posted
a video after the formation of Team USA saying that
besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth
(25:38):
just isn't what it used to be. A lot of
girls don't work as hard. They just don't have the
work ethic. Video has since been deleted, but Simone Biles
poked some fun in it after the Team USA won gold,
with the caption saying lack of talent lazy Olympic champions.
So she poked fun and apparently Skinner came back blocked
all the team on social media is getting a lot
(26:00):
of like you know, buzz, like drama buzz going on
midweek or major.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Man, this is this is major. You don't have it.
I mean you don't have to lie you care about
like gymnast beef. But it's a story. I think it is.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's a good I told you so right, Like no,
it's a great motivator. Can we know people doubting you right?
And essentially the old teammate doubted her. They won gold.
I think a little nanny Nanny pooh pooh is good,
So props to Simone Biles. I do think it's major
because I don't think I make Kayla Skinner's wrong, even
though some Simone Biles proved her to be wrong in
this particular case. Take a look around. There's a bunch
(26:35):
of lazy young people out there. They're not on their grind.
Not everybody's grinding like Eric Nice, like the dude on
the Bears. Not everybody's grinding. There's a lot of people
and it comes from frustration. I get it because they're
not getting anywhere in their career and they're not making
the money they want to make. But it's not just
in gymnastics. It's in life, So I don't think she's
wrong in saying that. If that's what motivated them, then good.
(26:57):
All right, One more Olympic story. Yeah, Olympic judo star.
An Olympic judo star. I know you're a big fan
of Olympic judo. It's your top top sport.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Is recovering from his win over Italy's Manuel Lombardo. Where
so the Olympic guy secured bronze, his first Olympic medal. However,
his injury sustained was not during the actual match. It
actually happened after the fact when he was celebrating his win.
So it was Moldova's Adil Osmanoff was celebrating so hard
(27:30):
in the middle of his celebration, grabbed his right arm.
Apparently he dislocated his shoulder in the middle of his celebration.
Anymore events coming up for him or no, So he's
done that. He won his bronze. This was his dream
to win bronze. He was able to make the medal
ceremony and apparently he delayed shoulder surgery unlike me, so
he could compete in the game. So now I guess
you can have a shoulder surgery. Now that he won bronze, midweek.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Er major, what's major to the bikinis on this French
beach volleyball team.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm watching all right, focus, I'm sorry, what are we asking? Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
The guy getting injured? No, it reminds me of the
satus injury of all time. Please fill in the blank
for me. Morales, dude, Kendrey Morales. Remember he had a
walk off home run, jumped on home plate, hurt himself.
Never the same yo injury freak. Accidents like that really
upset me because celebration, celebration, that's it's unfortunate. But you
know what, he has four years storry about it. Now
(28:18):
he won his metal. Go back home. They're proud of you.
Moldov is really excited. There you go, Muldova. So hey,
he wins the bronze. This is a mid story because
I don't know this, dude, Okay, I do agree with
rich because when you get injured celebrating like that, it really.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Ruins the moment. It's not like he got.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Injured, you know, frustratingly, like punching something, or like breaking
his hand because he punched a wall.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I'll like Kevin Brown or something. Story always upset me. Man,
and when he jumped on home plate after I think
it was a walkwak friend slam yeah, and man, that's not.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
What you want. All right, over to the Kelsey Bros.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Okay, the Kelsey Bros Have the hottest podcast going, as
you know, with their new Heights podcast, source of at
least one midweek major story week. Well, it seems like
they're capitalizing on all the attention they've been getting over
the last year or so. Not only with I mean
they're they're pretty good. The podcast does well before, of course,
the tailor swift attention came into play. They're now seeking
a potential one hundred dollar deal for their podcast. They've
(29:18):
been in talks with the podcast company company Wondery, whose
parent company is Amazon, so we know they have the money.
There's no details on the specifics of the length of
the contract, how many episodes involved. Currently, their podcast ranks
fourth in all of podcasts ever created by audience We'd
number three, with no signs of slowing.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
So big thing for the major It's it's pretty wild
right in the world of sports entertainment everything. I'm guessing
Rogan and call Her Daddy might be the only people
bigger than the Kelsey bros.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Right now, it's wild. Listen.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
As a broadcaster, there's a part of me that wants
to be jealous and be like me, come on, all right,
we'll save it for me. Then I'll be that Okay,
I'll pass it to you because I my first thought
is listen. If the audience is there and they're playing
off the Taylor Swift hype and everything they got going on,
you're really just looking for ears and eyes in the
world the broadcasting, TV, radio, streaming. So hey, you could
(30:11):
say the product's good, but the eyes and ears are substantial.
So hey, congrats to them. They got plans after football.
It's a major deal. I mean it's one hundred million
dollar deal, so that's very major. But look where they
household names before Taylor Swift. Absolutely they're successful. They would
have been doing well regardless, but Taylor Swift put them
to the next level. But I just don't like as
(30:32):
a broadcaster, as Rich said, and I wish them all
the best. This hasn't coming from a hateful place at all,
but we've gone to a place where these big companies
are just signing names and you're not getting quality product.
They're not being signed a hundred million dollars because they're
the greatest broadcasters putting on the greatest shows. And as
a dude that takes pride in putting out entertaining product
(30:54):
and that's what people are tuning in for. It makes
makes me say, well, hey, we know what, because we're
not famous enough. Show should have hit on Taylor Swift
when you met her, so.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
We'd have that big deal.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Who would have thought?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
We're losing quality for big names. And you see that
in all forms of media. You're not getting the best broadcasters.
You're just getting the best names, the biggest names. And
that's good for a press release and good for big
companies are looking for that big press release, not necessarily
quality content.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I can't disagree one more else sneaking one more.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Travis should capitalize on this while he can.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Rich.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I'm gonna give you your four favorite people all in
one story. Travis Kelsey, Okay, Taylor Swift, Bill Maher, and
Hawk to a Girl Okay in one story. So Bill
Maher has officially waited on the Travis and Taylor Swift
relationship with Hawk to a Girl when she appeared on
his podcast earlier this week. Branding pok. I know this
(31:54):
is I mean, it's MIDWEK major. I have the options
to say this save the real news for Dan Byer.
He thinks that she's too old. Taylor is too old
to be flaunting jerseys at the game, and that her
high school declarations of love will scare off Travis. He
thinks that Travis is on the brink of dumping Taylor
Swift and say that it's like gatorade at the super Bowl.
(32:15):
You know you're gonna get dumped. You just don't know
when that's funny. Okay, o.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Girl, Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I like Bill Marh, but this is a nonsense take.
You're coming from like a fifty six year old, like
single guy. I never had kids or a family, not
pulling a JD Van store. You calling up a crazy
crazy cat lady. What I'm just saying, What does Bill
Maher know about the romance of Taylor and Travis Kelsey?
But I do like Bill Maher. It's a non story.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
He's just talking a little smack for fun, and of
course it gets exaggerated because it is Taylor.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Swift to a girl. This is a very mid story.
I agree, you know, much like I wish Kelsey the
best is one hundred million dollar broadcasting deal, and I
wish them the best in love and in life.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I mean, I think that he is smitten with Taylor Swift.
That's my impression. So I don't know what sort of
inside scoop Bill Maher has on it. That's a mid story,
right there you go. Thanks, Thanks, it's buddy, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Now for the real news, I'm dad by her.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
Dan.
Speaker 6 (33:17):
Guys, there's some history today at the Olympics. Oh, Katie
Ledeki winning another gold, her record tying eighth gold medal.
She claimed it in the fifteen hundred meter freestyle. You
guys are talking about this before the show. How dominant
Laedeki has been with her times in the fifteen hundred meters.
She has secured the top twenty times all time in
(33:39):
this event.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
She has all twenty all the same. That is like
truly a travesty if we don't bring her up in
the goat conversation like we often leave out Michael Phelps, right,
I mean, don't you have to bring her up when
we're talking goats?
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Yeah, you have to bring her up. But here's another thing.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
In comparison, now, Phelps has twenty three gold medals in
his career.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
This was Ladeki eighth.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Okay, right perspective.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, so there's top twenty, sure, and that's pretty that's
pretty insane, you know.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
And phelpscott some of his in relays as well, but
there's u but yeah, no, you're absolutely right, her twelfth medal. Overall,
only three other Olympic athletes I believe have more gold
medals than she does from the Summer Games, Phelps, Carl Lewis,
and Mark Spitz. So that's pretty pretty heavy company right there.
(34:27):
Francis the Omar shaan Wan gold on the two hundred
meter breastroke and two hundred meter butterfly, his second and
third medals of the Olympics, becoming the fourth winner swimmer
to win three or more individual medals in a single
Olympic Games. The US took care of South sut Ana
men's basketball today one O three eighty six. Jason Tatum
started after not playing against Serbia. Bam Adebayo led the
Americans with eighteen points there onto the quarterfinals. Coco Goff's
(34:49):
Olympics are over. Tough day is the American tennis player
lost in mixed doubles and women's doubles, so she has
done and Rafael Nadal may be done as well.
Speaker 11 (34:57):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
He and Carlos Alcarez lost in their match at Roland Garros.
Today could be the finale for Nadal, who yes, is
very close to retirement. A couple of other notes, your Yankees.
Cavino of won five straight, sweeping the Phillies today six
to five. Dj Lamayhew grand slam knocked in all six
for the Yankees. The Orioles got a grand slam from
Jackson Holiday his first career home run in a ten
(35:19):
to four win against Toronto Braves. Awesome, yeah, brazy, he
struggled his first time. Correct just called him up as well.
So a way to uh to start fresh start anew
in Baltimore and did so with the grand slam today,
Brewers and Braves. This would have went to Atlanta six
to two. Cardinals took care of the Rangers ten to one.
Royals won against the White Sox at ten to three
(35:41):
and the Cleveland Cavalier since center Jared Allen to a
three year MAX extension worth ninety one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Back to you, guys, Hey, Dan Buyer, if you were
an Olympic swimmer, would you go full body single it
would you go the biker pants or the speed up?
Speaker 6 (35:54):
It would probably I'd probably go biker pants.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I'd also have to after seeing French Guy. You know yeah, yeah, No,
I want Yeah, I want Dan byron Espedo. That what
I dream of every night. You have a great night
man guy. What do you go with if you had to?
If you had to be an Olympic Showhere you go
in the the biker shorts, three stooges style, the stripe.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
That stripe stripes.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
I think I would do Adam Sandler shorts, huge basketball.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
There'd be a raider logo on the podcast swim chunks
that actually slow you.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Down, Danny Raiderny Radio. Thank you, Thank you, guys. Cavino
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And now coming up
before we get out of here, I do want to
talk about the new NFL kickoff rules. You may say insignificant,
you may say completely relevant, because this could be a
(36:49):
game changer. I got to ask you do you think
it will be? We haven't seen it yet. It debuts tomorrow.
We'll break it down next give being on Rich Right
here on Fox Sports Radio, we are Covino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio live from the Tyraq dot com studios.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Did you hear that? Rich live from the tyrack dot
com studios. We are love.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
It's getting late early, so I want to remind you
that tomorrow we're starting the weekend because Thursday's the new Friday.
We go old school and fifty hits, we reminisced. We
throw it back on Thursday. So join us at Covino
and Rich at Steve Covino if you want to see
me and David Justice. By the way up until Jazz Chisholm.
(37:32):
They say he was the greatest trade deadline acquisition for
the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Back in two thousand and.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
David Justice was up here at Fox Sports Radio with
the great Round Parker, and you snapped a photo for me.
I posted that at Steve Covino if you want to
check it out. David Justice Justice, I got to wear
the World Series ring and everything. So thanks for the
follow and the friendship at Covino and Rich at Steve Covino,
at Rich Davis, and I know you're super pumped because
(37:58):
this is sort of like football. Leave it's listen as
the meme goes starting tomorrow. If your wife or girlfriend
that's not into football, asks. You could say, honey, uh yeah,
there's football every week now until Valentine's Day, we begin
the greatest part of the year, football season.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Can't wait.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I mean it's kind of action packed between the Olympics.
Baseball's he eating well, do you know it's also interesting
football football time out for a second for a second.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
And we have NBA are players in the Olympics. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yeah, it's a really interesting time because baseball you got
Bud Crawford fighting this weekend. I'm not saying I'm a
fair weather fan, but when your team is under five
hundred and stinks towards the end of the year, you
zone out because football starts and other things happen.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
You're not invested as much.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I mean, who would be. I mean, when football starts,
you're not following your team. That's twenty games under five
hundred in baseball as closely.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Well more teams are are in the mix.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I was just showing Cavino the National League wildcard standings.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
And it's wild, It's stupid.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's so amazing how the Braves, Diamondbacks, Padres, Mets, Cardinals,
and Pittsburgh Pirates are all within two games of each
other fighting for three wildcard spots. So if anything, the
National League wildcard playoff chase is gonna be amazing going
(39:20):
down the stretch. And you got the breakdancing competition coming
up Friday, eight days bro isn't it?
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Eight days from ound?
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Friday?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
The ninth? O? Wait, ninth is my birthday? Oh wow?
Is that why they're doing it that day night? Popping
and locking. I'm gonna be inch in for a scratches.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
You love a baby.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I'm gonna bust down my old kangle hats for this event.
You wait and see busting out my boom box. I'm
coming into work with cardboard that day, popping in, locking,
doing the worm to work. So yeah, it's an interesting
time for sure. Lots of cool things now football bam,
don't talk about that. By the way, well Isaac's here.
He just missed the cut. Isaac Longcrown just missed the
(39:55):
cut for US Breakdancing, I know.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
And forget cardboard. He has atripple in in the update
booths so.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
I love it so low and Cron was at Jabbewalkee
wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (40:07):
But there were Fox Sports.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I think it will tourist a Yeah, that's unfortunate. The
NFL tomorrow again. No Kateleb Williams. Aaron Rodgers went on
and on at Jets camp talking about preseason no one plays.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You know, it's like, we get it, no one plays.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
But the one thing to look forward to besides Tyson
Maaijen our new favorite, uh you know, workhorse backup quarterback
for the Bears. S grinds his face off. Bears Titans tomorrow.
You don't have to care about the backups on these teams.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Is it Texans? I thought it was Titans, my bed.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
I'm excited about the kickoff rules that starts up tomorrow
and the NFL. Every year, the rules committee has a
couple of little tweaks and changes here and there, but this.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Is a big one.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
This is Can you remember the last time there was
a one this big? Maybe when they went to the
two point conversion possibility, or maybe some instant replay rules.
But it's been a while since there's been significant changes.
And when you're telling me that the whole alignment for
the kickoff changes, we don't know if each teams has
a wide receiver that's now gonna double as a specialist,
(41:16):
like we don't know the strategy, it might change the
whole special teams outlook in the NFL, some teams may
be downstating this, downplaying it, Danny and be like, yeah, yeah, whatever,
it's special teams. There might be teams with strategicy that
might be saying, Yo, this is our chance to start
the ball to forty.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
Especially late in games. That's when you could see star
players for each team suddenly have that role. Possibly not
not to quote.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
My Niners, because you know that's my team. Deebo.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Samuel has made it very clear he wants part of this,
and a guy like Deebo, if he gets the ball
in the open field on a kickoff like that, it
could be a game changer or so all goes down manyana.
I will say, until then, have a great night. A
Reba there you baby, you in a promised land.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Back you Bye, guys,
