Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, all right. I hope you're enjoying your weekend
so far. This is the best of the best of
the best of Covino and Rich Another fun week in
the books. Enjoy your baseball Olympics and this podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Aaron Rodgers angry at sloppy Jets offense after being stepped
on in practice. He was stepped on by one of
his linemen. He was sacked on back to back plays.
Balls are tipping off the fingers of his receivers. So
Aaron Rodgers apparently not hurt, but very angry. Monday was

(00:35):
that kind of day, the first this summer in full
pads and tempers were flaring tight end. Tyler Conklin said, Yeah,
it was a little frustrating as an offense, especially after
having some really good days together. We're excited to put
the pads on and do it and it just didn't
work out. They had a bad day out there. I
guess you could say, now, Aaron Rodgers, I don't want

(00:57):
to talk out of both sides of my mouth here
to speculate, but to explore all angles. When Aaron Rodgers
took his trip to Egypt, yeah, to check out the Pyramids,
he missed some mandatory camp dates, and he downplayed it,
saying like, yo, I don't know why Robert Sall even
said anything. It was while it was unexcused, he knew

(01:20):
were good. And I even backed up Aaron Rodgers saying, listen,
he could be a peculiar guy. People can bust his chops,
but it's Aaron Rodgers missing a couple days of practice
is not going to make one of the greatest quarterbacks
in NFL history. And we've seen its stay for superstars before. Yeah.
I always love to go back to the example of
Roger Clements towards the end of his career didn't go

(01:42):
on road trips if he didn't have to. He's like, yeah,
I'm not going to travel if I'm not pitching, right,
So I get it. I was actually I would laugh
at the people that said Aaron Rodgers needs to be
there at the practices because my thought was, it's Aaron Rodgers.
This is a guy that battled back that if the
Jets were any good last year, he would have actually
been able to somehow recover from the Achilles and play

(02:03):
at the end of the year. But it just wasn't
worth well. You could have laughed at me because I
think you lead by example, and I think leadership starts
at the top with the guy like Aaron Rodgers who
wants to show the team like, Yo, I'm here, so
you gotta be here, and I'm gonna work hard, so
you work hard. But to quote Aaron Rodgers, it was
a bigger deal outside the building than inside the building.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, I believe that. I mean that's with everything right, everything.
You know, a guy like Aaron Rodgers and he's not
Tom Brady level because Tom's got those seven rings, six
more than Aaron has. But when you're dealing with an
elite QB like that, those young players on the team
look up to them. I don't think they're saying, well,
Arizon here, what do I got to be here? I
don't know. I' you're twenty two and you just made

(02:42):
the roster. Aaron Rodgers is you know, almost forty, and
he's one of the best. However, this is where I'm
not talking out of both sides, but I have to
mix something clear. You can't be Aaron Rodgers now and
get all critical. It's like the boss that's not involved
in the project at work and then comes in he's like, well,
the was going on here. No, it's like me, dude,

(03:02):
can I explain you. I'm the perfect example because I
was a lazy kid growing up who really did nothing
as far as to help my family with anything. I mean,
I did a lot of stuff for me, But let's
say my dad was painting the living room. I'd be
the kid who just woke up around two o'clock and
then walked in and told my daddy missed the spot.

(03:23):
And it's like, oh, like, hey, why don't you get
out of your mind? You business? I kick your right, dad,
you missed the suppoil. And that's when I learned early on.
Or like if my dad was mowing the lawn and
I just woke up like, yeah, hey what about that
spot over there? Hey, why don't you kiss up? Right?
What I learned is I don't really have much of
a say if I'm not helping out. I mean, listen,

(03:44):
we're going on a guy's football trip. And can you
know how good a booking stuff? So I booked your
airline right and your hotel. Now I did that because
you're my boy, and I know you hate doing that stuff.
You can't now be like yo, bro, I go to uh,
you know, I don't like alliel seats like you got it.
A matter of like is it sort of like beggars

(04:05):
can't be choosers sort of thing in a way, but
a way, I just think Aaron Rodgers and you know,
Danny backpep or not, Like, I don't think him missing
the mandatories was that big of a deal. But I
think day one in pads he can't be complaining because
it just doesn't optically look right because you you're the
dude that just misspractice.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Thank you. At least wait till we get to the
first your first preseason game, and after that game, if
you want to say something, maybe, But this goes back
to last week. We were talking about Aaron Rodgers off
the air. Remember we're saying he's the guy who wants
everybody to look at him because he knows he affects
the conversation.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
He gave that away his Egyptian cat shirt last week.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
And it bugs me because there's some days where you
guys in our group chat were preparing show notes and
topics and you guys are like, did you see Aaron
Rodgers said this? And he did this? And I'm like,
oh man, I don't want to hear about him, right.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Now because that's what he wants. Yeah, right right, you're feeding.
I feel like we're f eating into what exactly he wants.
He laughs, like, ah, I godun talk about again, Clabor
Torres can't talk about who should be playing second base
when he's making all the errors. Now, I can't be
telling my dad he hung up the picture crooked when
I didn't help him at all. Uh, where do you
want to start, Danny G? You want to start with
t Sean? Where do you want to go?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, let's start. Let's keep it on the Rogers topic.
Sean in sack Town?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
What's up? Sean?

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeoh, my fellow tire rag Max, what up y'all? So, man,
I feel like Aaron Rodgers is pulling the ultimate jerk move,
and you know what, it kind of reminds me of
man And I hate to bring this to a relationship
topic like my matter Rich always does. But the girl
is getting dressed or strolling on her phone, not really
paying attention, and then she says, Hey, where do you

(05:43):
want to eat today? We could go wherever you want
to eat, wherever you want to go, And you.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Picked the grossest hole in the.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Wall bar where you know you and your boys are
good to hang out with, and.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
All she does is complain that is stink and the
food is bad. Why would you choose this place? You
did nothing, had every little bit of time to sit
there and try to help plan and get us together
and put together with a nice consensus, and you did nothing,
and you want to see here complaining.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Come on, man, that's a great example. If you're planning,
let's say, a vacation or a dinner. Like Sean just said,
you plan this whole vacation. You got no help from
anybody else. Those people who didn't help really don't have
a whole lot of room to complain. But it's a
bad look. He's the quarterback. But he's the quarter and
he's Aaron Rodgers, and the Jets will go but on

(06:31):
how he goes. Can we borrow a page from the
sports story here? And next time you plan a trip
or you do something, can you just be like, oh, listen,
are you essentially the quarterback of that situation? No, man,
I'm running this show. You do it. Next time, I'm
gonna tell my wife I'm allowed to complain Aaron Rodgers quarterback.
That's really the flip side of it is like, oh,

(06:52):
I'm the quarterback. Let's say what's up to Bruno and Brooklyn?
What's up Bruno.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Brothers? Hey man, I love this topic because it's deep
in my heart as a diehard Jet fans for a
thousand years. But what I want to say is this.
I think Rogers has got this point of deal where
that offensive line got his butt kicked last year. He's
a little gun shy. I after get his leg torn up,
and I think he's concerned because Hackett they haven't. I mean,

(07:18):
I guess it's a practice, but Hackett is not a
good coordinator. I think he's worried he's going to get
trashed again this year. So I think he's really in
a bad position in his mind. He's thinking, we got
to improve this down to the point where he hasn't
been there a week, is it going to change who
this guy is? But at the same time, he has
concerns over last year, and he should.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I mean, even though he's played in the league for
roughly two decades, Aaron Rodgers has every reason to be
a little gun shy. You're right because what happened his
first series is in New York Jet blown coverage, blown,
you know, and he gets in every Achilles to express
where the problem is, because it's practice, and that's what
you do. You call out the issues, You call out

(07:58):
the problem so that you could fix them game time.
That's what practice is four. So you got to keep
that in mind as well. This is the time to
iron out these problems. It might hurt some feelings, but
what you're a grown up, you're a professional. Get it right.
Let's get it right so that we don't have to
have these conversations and expose these frustrations when it matters
during the actual game. Thank you, man eight seven, seven

(08:20):
ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich If you
want to chime in some more now, Rich, I know
you have a story about a celebrity you ran into.
I do, but I want Dan Byer's thought just to
back that up.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
We're talking about practice, not a game, right, were not
a game. We're talking about practice.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Not a game. Practice. There it is there, It is
all right, yo, dB. You know what's funny about the
Jets is that because you know, we're sort of soft
launching Aaron Rodgers back into NFL Super quarterback play. Yeah,
they start out against my forty niners, which is like
it's like we'll go back, no soft launch, No. But

(08:59):
then they have a couple of games against some teams
that the Jets should possibly take care of. Titans, Patriots,
Broncos are next on the schedule, but they do start
primetime Monday night against the forty nine ers, like welcome
back Aaron Rodd. One good thing. And I was actually
thinking about this today.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
It's funny because I'm like, at least because it's in
San Francisco, right, at least it's on grass. They're not
putting them on an artificial surface where who knows what happens.
It's doing him no favors with the forty nine ers
being his opponent, but at least he's starting on grass.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Nick Moosa is licking his chops already. Nick Bosa is
watching these highlights, saying, oh.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Yeah, gosh, you get past that. You got Titans, Patriots
and Broncos and Vikings in your next four weeks.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yes, the Jets could get off to the hot start, absolutely,
so thank you better if they're going to win the
Super Bowl, like USA today said that that's true. Tea
and Georgia, what's going on? Man? T had I thought
about first impressions.

Speaker 7 (09:51):
What's that fella's feeling today?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
We're good man, what's all right?

Speaker 7 (09:57):
Listen? So I'm a big advocate or first impressions I
have The first time I've listened to your show maybe
a year and a half ago, and I think it
was like literally the intro to your show that got
me hooked into it, because again, the Worldwide Leaders of
Nonsense has got to be one of the greatest pull
lines I've ever heard in my life. And so I

(10:19):
had to figure out what was what was this that
I had to listen to, and then y'all delivered. So
not saying that y'all are a complete nonsense.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's just you know, yeah, yeah, sports is fun, man,
There's room for all of it. That's how I see it.
But that's also a great reminder, and you hear a
lot of athletes say it. You never know when someone's
watching you for the first time, when someone's listening for
the first time, or when you're actually making that first impression,
which is why you always got to bring your a game. Man,
can't take days off, can't be lazy about stuff. So hey,

(10:49):
thanks a lot, man, I appreciate it. Thanks. Take Now
there's a Lebron James story, and it sort of ties
into a thought about how to take pictures or not
with a famous person. Actually there are two stories. Isn't
there a Snoop Dogg story?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
That's right with Simone biles mom.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Simone biles mom back in the day has a story
where they had met Snoop. Now this is before, I'm
guessing Simone Biles is a yeah, it's like ten years
per story. This is you know this before. She's one
of the you know, top olympians you can name off
the top of your head.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
You said times square, I think twenty ten.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, so she's a little kid and Snoop Dogg apparently said, yeah, yeah,
one second.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
He see it, give me, give me two minutes and
I'll take that picture with you.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
And I never came back right, bounced, bounced, and she
remembered and now tells the story when she sees Snoop
carrying what looks like a big joint but it was
actually the torch, which I thought was funny, Like I
was like, man, Snoop Dogg, man, he's really smoking that
on TV, say he's really pushing the limits easy for
this was New NBC. My goodness, So that was one story, Snoop, Dougie,

(12:06):
you never know, and I'm sure you know no hard
feelings now, but it is funny to think that Simone
Biles is probably a top three Olympian that you can
name right and Snoop disturs a kid. She called him
out on it all these years later as they were
taking pictures. And the other story involves Lebron James and

(12:29):
I know you wanted to talk about that. Lebron, you
have it in front of you. Who is the who
is the Olympian that he took a picture? In the
USA Track and Field athlete Charlie Hawkins, she shared a
throwback and a current photo with Lebron after the opening ceremonies.
Again from fan. It was just a fan. She was
there at an event with her dad or something like that.

(12:50):
As she tells them the story, Cherry Hawkins was there,
She's a little kid, and she takes a picture with
Lebron James and now they're teammates and they take a
picture all these years later. So it poses the question,
based on something that happened to rich over the weekend
of when's an appropriate time in place to ask people

(13:11):
for a quick selfie? Is it? Is it? Okay. Sometimes.
I was at the airport two weeks ago, Noork Airport,
went home to visit the family, and I'm there with
my kid and I'm just hanging around at the bag terminal.
But you beatlejuice, just hanging around. That was by that

(13:33):
conveyor thing. I was by the bag baggage claim and
you know the bag thing, that bag you know the
treadmill for the pluggage. Yeah, that thing. And I'm just
looking at this dude. I'm like, who is that guy?
And I'm like, oh, it's Tommy Cutlets. And it was
Tommy DeVito of the New York Football Giants and he

(13:54):
was there with two botch of loops, two of his buddies.
Well he's not still on the Giants, is he? Well Tommy, yeah,
I think so. It's eazy, yeah, but he's not on
the team. He hasn't made the team as far as
I know. I think so.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
So.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Tommy DeVito, who was the talk of the town last year,
was at the airport, the Ark Airport, and I'm sitting
there and I'm sort of sizing them up, because that's
what you do. I wasn't checking him out, sizing you hear,
Tommy DeVito quote according to NFL dot com as of
hours ago, because the Giants are still trying to put
together their roster, it would be a gamble for the

(14:29):
Giants to cut me. It will be a gamble, a
gamble you don't want to take, right. He say that
it was like a slick manager.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, Pauli Walnuts his manager. Yeah, he said, hey, you
gotta take him, but don't. Oh what do I know? Oh,
so Tommy DeVito is saying, not just happy to be
in camp, he's battling for a spot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, he's third because they got Tyrod Taylor.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah. I looked it up when when I was at
the airport, so I was like, melody. I go to
my daughter, She's like that, who is that? And like,
that's Tommy Cutlers. She's like, who's that? Someone's getting no horses?
So I showed her a picture. I'm like, he's the
quarterback of the Giants and she goes, well, you're on
Fox Sports Radio. Why don't you go and say hi?

(15:12):
And I'm like I'm sitting there debating it. I'm like,
I think it's such like a fanboy, like what a nerd.
I feel like he's a young dude, I'm like, I'm
there with my daughter. Yeah, but I feel cool in
my own right. I don't want to be like submissive
to him, like, yeah, you're a great third string cornerback.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
It's a third string quarterback. He should have been asking
you for your autography.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
My ego says the same, Danny G But I know
that's not true. I mean, take your sunglasses off when
you went over to approach him. So my daughter was like, Dad,
just take a selfie with him. It'll be good for
the show and it'll be funny. He'll appreciate it. And
then I have that internal debate of well, how could
he not think it's cool in front of his boys

(15:54):
that another grown man who I think is cool me
wants a photo with him. Yeah? Right, But dude, I
gotta tell you, I chickened down because I didn't want
to bother him in his personal moment at the airport.
But what I did observe too rich is his real life.
Like he was picked up at the airport by his
Parentswe just the same way my dad was picking me

(16:14):
up his parent. He was sitting there waiting with his
bags and then like his parents like Tommy, give him
a hug. You know those bags in the cars could
have had a conversation about football, about cutlets, about Jersey parents.
I mean, the point is I didn't do it because
I was like, well, what's the etiquette, so let's break
it down. I could have had a funny photo to
share with you guys, could have posted it on I

(16:36):
should have did it for the gram. But I here's
what I feared too. Can you imagine if he was like, hey,
I'm a little busy in front of my daughter, I
would have felt this pic. I would have felt so lame.
If Tommy DeVito was like, yeah, how about no, I
would have been like, what dude. I would have felt
so dumb about that. And I didn't want to take

(16:56):
that risk of him missing me when I was just
kind of just being I would have just been nice
about it. That's called the Kaepernick by the way, I
didn't want We're going to cut to the and then
Rich had a story too this weekend. I'll give didmired?
Did I blow it? Should I went for the photo?

Speaker 6 (17:10):
OpEd No? I think he played the right move. I
had a similar situation with Terrell Owens at an airport.
Star yeah, big star, but just sitting there chilling by
himself and you. To your daughter's credit, you know, she
feel's dad's a big deal. Fox Sports Radio. There's a connection.
And I thought to myself, Okay, should I this was
years ago, Should I go over there and say, like,

(17:33):
would I get the behind the velvet rope treatment?

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (17:36):
To like respect, I left him alone, and about a
year or two later, we had him on radio row
at the super Bowl in Houston, and I asked him.
I said, I saw you at the airport and I
thought about going up to you and talking to you,
but I didn't. Did I make the right move? I
didn't get done with oove in move before He said, yes,
you did not want to, And I thought about him, like, yeah,

(17:57):
it would totally have been for me like that. It's
all about me, not about Arrell Owens. So to your point,
I think you made the right move with DeVito.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I think there's levels of fame, celebrity and athlete where
I think there's some people that like it and some
people that are annoyed by it. We've said the story
a million times, but Tony Danza, hey, oh hey, Tony.
Tony Danza loves to tell the same thing to us.
Every time we see him, which is probably every five years,
we'll have him on for something, right, Tony Danza, who's

(18:27):
the boss taxi angels in the outfield. It's Tony Danza,
my guys. He said, hey, you rich guys. Hey, my guys.
He always tells us I'm the perfect level of fame.
And we say, Tony, what do you mean by that?
And Tony Danza loves to say, every time I could
take my Metro card this, I could ride the subway
in New York, walk down the street in La. You know,

(18:49):
people say hey Tony. They never stop me, they never
bothered me. But everyone loves to say, oh hey Tony, Hey,
Tony Danza, and it's ill, oh hey, oh hey see
you my guys now de la Mona Jennadin. I think
just the regular guy. I just the regular gay. I
think if you're the hot person of the moment, listen,
if you're Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, don't bother them.

(19:09):
Talk to a girl. Talk to a girl in two
months is gonna wish someone the way, right, But even
more of a gamble if you, oh, it's hawk to
a girl, and oh I got to start as the
best story. Ever, this is why you don't want to
take the risk, right my first disc First, I'm a
Niners fan. As you know, we're in the VIP section,

(19:30):
So I'm not saying that because I'm important. I'm saying
it out of context to show you that I'm not
just like cold approaching someone. We're in the VIP section
of a Super Bowl party and I'm a Niners fan.
And at the time, Kaepernick was the quarterback before all
the Kaepernick drama, he was just the forty nine Ers quarterback.
That's it. He was just a guy, just the guy,
not the face of like a whole cost He was

(19:50):
just a dude. And I waited for his boys to
dip away. I waited for just a moment, whereas Kaepernick
by himself and he was just scrolling on his phone
and I go, oh, cap, big fan. Rich I work
at the time ESPN work at the ESPN big fan.
You can't get a quick selfie. And he goes, yeah
nahn and walked away eating and I was like, oh oh.

(20:15):
And then I was like, yeah, you'll see what happens
to you. And I feel like I won. You'll see
that carme. Let me tell you, yeah, you gotta know
there's a time and place, and I think that's what
to was getting at with Van Byer. It's a better
story of begetting this thing. Yeah, but this is why,
like I thought that Tommy DeVito wan was a risk.
And again there's more to this story. You don't want

(20:36):
to get this by the guy. Because we were at
say Stadium. This is before City Field, I believe it
was Shaye Stadium. Have been right. We're at a Mets
game and we see this guy and he's somebody who
is that guy? And he has all these pins on
his jersey, all these pins huns Mets jersey now, And

(20:59):
in the back of his he says pin Man said,
I'm like, yo, Rich, check it out. Pinman. I never
heard a pill Man, I had said to Cavino, I
don't really know much about Pinman. But coincidentally, the night
before during the Mets game, Gary Keith and Ron the
Mets brooke has pointed out Pinman and they go, hey,
pin Man, one of the super Mets fans here at
Chase Stadium. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's so

(21:20):
funny they mentioned him last night. Yeah, but every every
team has their super fan. That's kind of like locally famous.
This guy's not even really locally famous. I never heard
a pin Man met fans, no cow bell guy, right,
I never heard a pin Man. But they had just
did a feature on him. He's no Marlins Man, no
no violator, He's no Clipper Darrel or anything. Right. So

(21:41):
Rich puts his pride aside and he marches right up
to him here like I'm gonna they hide a pin Man.
And I watched and witness this whole thing, and he's like, hey,
pin Man, nice to meet you. I thought you featured
this week. And the guy turns around and he goes
your number fifty three, and Rich was excuse me, He's like,
you had a fifty third person to tell me that today,

(22:01):
Nice to meet you. And he turns around, totally Rich
to beat him. Yeah, he's a number fifty three. He
came Rich like I got a number, Like he was
out of DELI told him the beat. I got this
by Pintman, your number fifty fifty third guy to tell
me that for you? Yeah, go for you, Yeah, I
see you later. All right, But listen the reason we're

(22:24):
talking about this. If you're just joining us, there's two
fun stories. One where Snoop Dogg apparently dissimone Biles for
a picture a decade ago thanks to rapid radios. Die
rapid radios.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
We could use those for you, Rich as you're burping, bumping,
broad jumping down the vre.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Rich, how far are you breaks? Almost ever?

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Gotta come back?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
How many have you done?

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Right?

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Four? About four of them? And I have three fourths
of a mile togo? All right? So are we ready
to play this game? Or what ready to go?

Speaker 5 (23:00):
All right?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Let's come. Mike Tyson was a mania. I want your heart,
I want to eat a children.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Put an ear to this. If you're a boxing brainy
act tired, Mike Trivia, I can't man.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
All right, our FSR studio walking our broke Mic into
the main studio.

to do. Bye Guy, Bye byke All right, let's go

(27:15):
to d B.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
I feel like we're lacking one big trade deadline move.
There's there's none that they're you know, getting me excited.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, the biggest news is Jack Flaherty was dealt by
the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dodgers were
e really quiet through much of the trade deadline, but
making a splash at the end. They also acquired outfielder
Kevin Kiermeyer from the Toronto Blue Jays. The Marlins were
trading everybody today.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Actress Jennifer Garner Electra was stuck in an elevator for
more than an hour at Comic Cut, and she documented
the whole ordeal on social media. So it got us thinking,
like being stuck in an elevator. You know, I got
stuck an elevator at a Maxim party for the Super
Bowl with my ex and it was a bunch of

(28:05):
botch of gloops with cigars and they were all drunk,
and she started talking smack to them, putting me in
this jeopardizing like you're gonna get me beat up in
this elevator open Covino's laying on the ground. Do you
remember that? Like I do, I was stuck in an
elevator at a party. But anyway, you got us thinking
about being stuck at a game or an event that

(28:25):
you just wish you could have left, but you were
stuck there, and what to do about it? Well, what
is also the worst place to be stuck out? Would
you say? Is the airport a top answer? Like if
you're if your flight's canceled and you're like you having
an elevator is pretty like if you're claustrophobic, oh my goodness,
you don't be stuck in if you're a bunch of
people losing their cool and sweaty.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I know there's a lot of people that can feel
about what I'm gonna say. The only phobia I have
is claustrophobia. And there's certain movies you see where somebody
gets thrown in a trunk for hours or locked in
a closet, when there's someone buried, When there.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Is someone stuck in a trunk in a movie, I'm like, oh, look, yeah,
And you know what. DeVante Adams on the show Receiver
talks about a fear that I'm surprised more athletes don't
have He had to have an MRI done. And when
you got to go on that little tube like, yes,
I know all of these things are And by the way,
that is really bad. I've been in that situation too.
I'm like, all right, calm down, because you start to

(29:21):
feel little panic at that. Yeah, right, you feel like
you start the panic, your heart rate goes up. Now,
think about the times you're at a game, Like what
do you do if you go to a game and
it's a blowout like yesterday Yankees Phillies. Let's say you're
all pumped to see the Phillies and he got position
players pitching. At the end of the game, it's fourteen
to four. Like, are you stuck there at this point

(29:42):
because you spent all this money for this game? Or
do you go home and leave? Or have you ever
just gone to a game with you didn't drive, but
your buddies were insisting on staying. You didn't want to
be there anymore, Like talking about being stuck at an
event and you're like, oh, this is they I've been
to a baseball game now. And this also depends how
often do you go if you're the type of guy

(30:03):
that goes to a handful of games every year, or
you're the type of person that takes your kids to
one game a year. I think there's a difference there
because back in the day, I would go to a
bunch of Mets games. Tickets were not crazy expensive. I
remember going to a Mets game and it was a
beautiful day. We get there in the first inning, the
Mets are losing eight nothing, and it puts you in

(30:25):
a position where you're like, what are we doing now?

Speaker 5 (30:27):
What do we like?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Are you really just gonna turn around and be like,
I'm out of here? How about your How about you
go to a comedy show or something and someone's so
the lineup is so bad, Like could you get up
and leave? Would you get up and leave if you
feel like you're I'm stuck at this event, I'm out
of here. I've heard I've had friends that went to
live performances. Rich you were at the Guns and Roses show.
Rich said it was the It was dreadfully boring and bad.

(30:52):
And I know that's sacrilegious because we're talking guns and rolls.
And I've had friends leave shows because there was such
little effort put into the performance, You're like, I'm at
because it's a matter of do I power through and
torture myself or do I leave?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
How about a school play or concert?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Dude, your kid?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, because you if you get up and you leave,
everyone's looking at you like, how dare you?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Danny? You know it's it's funny you would say that
because my wife and I have had this conversation because
my daughter is she's going into second grade. They'll do
like the Christmas Hanukah festival and all the kids sing
the Christmas songs and do their thing. If your kids
in second grade, you then feel this pressure like do

(31:35):
I have to stay for third, fourth, and fifth? And
like they'll mix up to you o to be like first,
we'll do fifth grade and they do that on a
purpose and they mix it up. But the longest hour
of your life when you're like, oh, I can't be
the a hole that jumps up and I'm like later
kids is steaks, Your neck is itchy, you're like sweat,
and you're like, get me out here.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
This hard. It's always too bright in there.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Dude. If your kid goes first to like a talent show,
do you have to stay for the whole thing. So again,
if you want to add to this conversation at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. This is all based
on Jennifer Garner being stuck in an elevator for an hour,
documenting it on social media. Happened this weekend at San
Diego Comic Cot. Being stuck at an event, a concert,
a ballgame blowout. Not sounding in the enderthal, but this

(32:17):
is what a lot of people start drinking heavy. If
you go to a baseball game and it's nine to
nothing in the second inning, that's when people sit back
a little too much.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Welcome back to Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio,
the worldwide leaders of nonsense. Tom Brady is another answer.
I came to mind. Maybe not a full one eighty
like Snoop Dogg. Maybe like a one sixty because when
he was with the Patriots, he's kind of stiff, that
guy with the Buccaneers, and just since football now he

(33:33):
had an X rated roast. We've seen a completely different
side of this guy. So it's almost a one eighty
speaking of being with the Patriots and being stiff. Look
at Belichick, dude, Yeah, I mean he's getting there. He's
dating twenty three year olds takings. We're seeing an evolution
of these people. There's a stiff choke in there somewhere.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Hey, you know, either are one of our sponsors.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
I thought of a couple more surprised we didn't have
more of those sponsors. It's a chew on this. Vince
McMahon came to mind. I know he's in a lot
of trouble now, probably a bad dude, But when we
were little kids, he was the corny announcer that would
announce with the bad guy, whether it's like Bobby the
Brain or Jesse Ventura, Hey, Vince McMahon WWF. And then

(34:18):
he took on that persona of no chance in hell
and he was the bad owner of wrestling. Yeah, because
I was a big one that blurred line of what
was the reality versus what was an act With McMahon,
I got one based on we are talking about the Olympics, right, Yeah,
how Snoop Dogg and Flavor flav up up center representing
the USA. How everybody loves him? How about in nineteen

(34:42):
seventy six, yesterday was the anniversary of Bruce Jenner winning
gold in the decathlon. Bruce Jenner now Caitlyn Jenner.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
She's on.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
She was on whenies boxes and is now like a
right wing politician that's you know, represents the transgender community.
Tell me Bruce Jenner's not on this list, Caitlyn Jenner.
That's that's someone makes me think of that? A Maad
Rashad meme. You ever see of my favorite memes ever?
You've seen this? Right? I gotta find that just just

(35:12):
it really is unbelievable. Amadrashad's wedding meme. Have you ever
seen that one? Dan Byron knows what we're talking about
chel I found that. Ready, Yeah, Amad Rashad had the
worst groomsman ever. It's a Madrashod And right beside him
is Bill Cosby, Oh, J Simpson and uh is a
Bruce Jenner to there. Wait, Oh, that's the Howard Cosell.

(35:34):
Howard Cosell. Howard Cosell's is standing next to Bruce Jenner
and OJ and it said you're not gonna get him.
You're not gonna believe this. There's a bunch of them.
There's so many good ones because we've seen an evolution
the arc the one eighty that these people pulled in life,
for good, for bad, for whatever. It's not what they
once were. I confused. Two really great memes. It is

(35:55):
that does the Howard Cosell one, Just to make it clear,
he's in the broadcast booth with OJ M, Bruce Jenner.
Well you'll get You're not gonna believe this. And then
the groomsmen of a model shot were Bill Cosby and OJ.
Isn't that crazy? So he was one of the ushers
Phil Spector. Yeah, seriously, right, let's go to the phones.
Now we appreciate it the full one eighty Alright, Let's

(36:18):
go to Dan in Washington, Line one. What's up? Dan? Hey?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Dan?

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Hey fellows, how you guys doing.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
What's up? Who comes to mind? Man?

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Uh? Mark Wahlberg?

Speaker 7 (36:27):
How do you go from dancing in your underwear to
one of the faces of Hollywood and you are literally everywhere?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
That's true. I mean Mark Wahlberg is everywhere. Good answer, Dan, Randy,
Remember it was supposed to be an n KOTB And
He's like, yeah, it wasn't for him, so he decided
to go with the funk, went with the funky bunch.
What's up, Randy?

Speaker 7 (36:48):
Oh yeah, I got one share it from subway.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Oh my god. It's an inspiration to the world, to
a kid toucher we all wish would burn it out.
You know, you're right, but you thought he was such
a I mean he's still a goofball, but you thought
he was this wholesome goofball. Meanwhile, he had this crazy
dark side to him that you would have never get
that doc You ever watched a documentary? Yeah, of course
I did. It was horrible. Uh, David and Cincinnati? What's up? David?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Not much?

Speaker 2 (37:15):
How what you got? Man? I had to and you
guys took him I got a couple more.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
I had Jenner and Pete Rose obviously from.

Speaker 7 (37:26):
But I got Robert de Niro.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
He went from all those Mafia movies to meet the Falkers,
I was gonna say, and then he went to like
crying liberal, like stopping his feet right. I mean Robert
was a good one. I think that's yeah.

Speaker 7 (37:44):
Then my second one, My second one is doctor Gray.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Doctor Dre. Well, he went, well, I don't know did
he change his image? Did he? Would you say, Danny G.
I mean just more mainstream with the head.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Of I mean it turned into a megabusiness man. But
he's always stayed kind of true to its music.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Danny G. You came up in hip hop radio, wasn't
becoming a powerful businessman sort of the goal of a
lot of people in hip.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Hop ord that was the aspiration for sure. They didn't
want to work for record companies ripping them off. They
wanted to make their own billions and millions of dollars.
And for that, Dre's living the dream.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
M M though he got that beats money. That's what yeah.
Now more phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox and if we don't get to you by
the ways at Covino and Rich on social media. Let's
go to Tacoma online. Five. Who do we have my handwriting?
Tabow is this Ross? Hey? Rich? Speaking of Tacoma's right,
you made me think of Toyota. Yeah. How about the

(38:39):
brand Kia? Oh yeah, I feel like that pulled a
one eighty. Oh yeah. How about visio? That was the
week if you went to your boys house and you
had a visio, You like, Yo, dude, that's whack. I'm
going to someone else's house to watch the game. But
now they have a visy, Like, oh, that's pretty good TV.
It doesn't even matter anymore. It doesn't matter. But dude, Kia,
it was the weakest sort of car. Now it's pretty dope.

(39:01):
Changed image. What's up to Coma? How is this Roger?

Speaker 3 (39:08):
This is Roger?

Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Right.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
So one of my you know, he had a run
and he was my one of my real favorite actress
for a long stretch, and that was mel Gibson.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
I mean, when you go back.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
To Braveheart Patriot Ransom, he had a run. I mean
he was he was great in the early eighties, but
in the nineties, in the two thousands, he was incredible.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Let me tell you mel Gibson, by the way, the
Patriot I feel because everyone loves Brave Heart so much.
I think the Patriots underrated. That might be my favorite mother.
That's a good one. And you know what, mel Gibson,
I think he's turning his image around a little bit.
He's gone back and forth. He said a lot of
dumb things about the Jewish community that you know, people
change him, you hope to forgive. But mel Gibson, if
you're interested, is making Lethal Weapon five with Danny Glover.

(39:51):
So he's also an incredible director, like Apocalypto. If you've
ever seen that, one of the best movies I've ever seen.
I always praised that movie. That's great, incredible that or
not movies fans, he's undeniably talented. It does a great
clip of mel Gibson that in your free time, just
look it up. He gets a flat tire at a
gas station. You're going to try to explain this one.

(40:12):
Good luck, okay, And it's the playful side of mel Gibson.
Mel Gibson, Now you know what, Let's go to Dan Bayer.
Let let me know what. Good tease, hey, deep uh,
Let's go to the phones and Iowa was Sam, may
have the number one answer on the board. Oh, actually
a phone caller said the same thing.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
He overheard the collar.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Seal it. No, no, I say it is a caller. Okay,
let's let's take his call. Who is it, Danny, Let's
go to Shannon and Reno Shadow. What's up?

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
The Beastie Boys from hip hop.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
To rock guys. Yeah, that's not the caller that Iowa
Sam was referencing.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, Shannon, Well, the thing is, what he's talking about
with the Beasties is that they were down and out
there for a second. After being the party boys a
hip hop they reinvented themselves by doing live instrumentation.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
I remember that. What was that on SNL when they
did SABA The live performance was crazy. You got to
call spades fade. Not a great answer, It's really not.
I mean, I don't think the BAC Boys took a
big one eighty in their career. I would say they
reinvented themselves. Madonna, what do we got next? Mike in
New Jersey?

Speaker 7 (41:20):
Mike, Hey, what's up guys?

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Hey buddy?

Speaker 5 (41:25):
So what about the poster boy of athletics, Lance Armstrong?

Speaker 2 (41:31):
There it is, This is the caller Sam overheard. You
know when you think about how beloved he was, and
he was sort of the villain, and he was demonized
in that way. I mean he did it to himself.
But I would say that's that's got to be a
top three answer on the board. The reason, the reason
you started wearing biker shorts. I mean, how many people
picked up biking or donated were inspired by him? Had

(41:54):
Rich still wears those bracelets. My theory, my theory is
is that I forgive Lance Armstrong because he could be
the biggest jo of all time. He could be arrogant,
he could be you could be the he could be
the worst dude. But the fact that saved hundreds of lives,
save thousands of lives and people and did all that
for cancer research, I think it's a push. You could
be the worst guy in the world, cheat, cheat, cheap,

(42:15):
but you know what he cheated for. The outcome was
all this great, all right, So he ruled like ten lives,
but he saved like thousands. It's like a train's going
for two people, you know, well, one more phone call,
one more quick one here Timothy and fretznoe Timmy. I
make it snappy Timothy.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
Hey, guys, real quick on Lens Armstrong.

Speaker 5 (42:36):
If you look into it, none of that money went.

Speaker 7 (42:39):
To cancer research.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Oh that was the worst guy, Hey Lance, I'm strong.
Is that true? Where did the money go?

Speaker 7 (42:46):
Is cancer awareness? Everybody's aware of cancer, but none of
it went to research.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
So I just went into marketing.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
People hate him so much?

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Oh now I hate him even more. Thank you. By
the way, you know the for the previous call was
from Jersey. I had a good Jersey answer and I'm
not even joking. Go ahead, let's hear it. Snooky does
like mom blogs and mom stuff on social media. You know,
let's call spade a spade, not a great shut up.
I'm done so mean about the beast the Boys, and

(43:17):
you want to know with Snooky Sam, make sure you
play some Beasties next hour. Sound alight? Thank you guys
for hanging out. Delete the Snooky pot on the podcast
sad but we'll be back. We got more Covin on
Rich Midweek Major. We'll talk some NFL all coming up
having fun day CE and R two part Twosie. I'll
be the judge of that. I saw a story this
is right up your steampipe aally Mario Canton style. Yeah,

(43:41):
American Idol announced the 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. That dude has to give
it to me or Bobby Bones or some other Latino

(44:04):
guy like Mario Lopez taking all the gangs pas hosting
again having.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
A bone to Dinkleman or Dunkleman whatever that guy's name
was his first co host, remember, yeah, of course, then
that guy fell off the face of the earth Tonkleman
because he had morals. Remember he was like, uh, it's like,
I don't like can they make fun of the contestants? Oh,
to tie back to the last conversation Simon Cowell, Remember he's.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Not mean anymore. He's not mean at all. Really, I
didn't know. It's like a nice guy now well, because
it has to be mean right back. That's why So
Carrie Underwood, Carrie Underwood 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

(44:48):
about this. I don't mean their catalogs. My wife looks
more like a carry Underwood. I've always I've liked blondes.
But man, Katy Perry, there's something that oozes sexuality. There
is Katy Perry. To me, it would eat most of
you alive. Wow, I'm going Katy Perry. Now, she's a

(45:09):
great judge on American Idol. What are you doing there?
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 after touring and everything she's doing from a little

(45:30):
country bumpkin that one American Idol she's doing all right,
you said pumpkin? Right? Yeah? 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

(45:51):
about how he got the phone call to reprise his
role as Blade in the movie. Hate to give away
the cameo, but come on, spoiler. You got spoiler not
have social media. You gotta give it spoiler. I didn't.
I didn't see it. Hey give it's over the place. No,

(46:11):
you gotta give it a week Schelman. So Wesley Snipes
is all over the news talking about you know, it
was a surprise to me because I don't know if
you guys knew this, but mahershela Ali is replacing him
as Blade moving forward. So he's like, I didn't understand.

(46:32):
But I was like, hell yeah, I'll do it if
you can make it happen. If 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, so I'm not anything.
So anyway, you got mahershela Ali replacing Wesley Snipes that's
been announced as Blade moving forward. You got Carrie Underwood

(46:55):
replacing Katy Perry. Both of these stories viral today and
in the news today. By that time, I have a
question for you, and it does tie into sports because
we all know the story of Wally Pip. 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

(47:15):
all that money Aaron Jordan Love just got, maybe he
could buy my old house in Green Bay. Well. 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

(47:35):
Sirius six seven at the time we talked to Barry Zito.
You remember what he said, Barry Zito, former Oakland A
That's what I've had, 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 got.
He had a great movement. Yeah, Barry Zito, great pitcher,

(47:59):
really nice guy as a musician as well. If you
follow Beerysido, he actually he was a cool dude. Actually
just a 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 spots start, he was a little banged up, injured,
new team, whatever the case may be. He always wanted

(48:20):
his team to win. But he's like, I can't lot
to you. I never 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

(48:42):
rarely hear it, especially in sports, and I've been noticing
it just watching Jazz Chisholm light it up with the Yankees,
and I'm like, I'm seeing Verdugo, I'm seeing Glaber, I'm
seeing Lemayh. 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.

(49:02):
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 in some places that doesn't in others. For instance,
when we were kids. And you see this a lot
on the Joe Montana Cool under Pressure documentary Joe Cool.
There was no love lost between him and Steve Young.

(49:25):
They were both vocal with the press, the media. Everyone
both wanted the gig. Yeah, and Steve Young. Jokes that
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 on
to it a few more Super Bowls and you know,

(49:47):
Steve Young waited, and you can only imagine the numbers
Steve Young would have had if he had not had
a sit behind Joe Montana for year after year after
year after year after year, rooting for your replacement. Let's
talk about it, Let's dive into it a little further.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. How about the

(50:07):
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 a hex on
both of them that got could eat crap, right. But

(50:28):
if you had to do the breaking up and you
felt bad about it, and you had that guilt like, oh,
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, and it gets her off your back till
that's what I mean, Like, you want that guy to

(50:49):
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 dumb and rooted
for the next guy ever, not that I like rooted
against him, but I never rooted for them ever. I mean,
Drew Bledsoe was cracking jokes at Tom Brady's roast twenty

(51:11):
years and Ted still great. You can 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? That's your competition. It's
a weird jobs a lie. It's a weird lie. We'd
like to tell's a if you really want to put together,
like the list of top lives people say, even if

(51:33):
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,
you think Wesley Snipes wants some mahersha Alie to take
the Blade franchise to levels it's never been before. Every
times there's a new Spider Man or Superman or Batman,
you don't You don't think the previous ones like I
hope this guy stinks you. You as especially in sports,

(51:56):
you want to be remembered as you were that better option,
You were the best. That's that's just your human nature.
My point. I don't think you're ever rooting for someone
to be better than you, unless it's oh, I got one,
I got another exception, unless it's your kid. I think
as a as a 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.

(52:19):
I I no, I don't know my brother more than me.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
I did.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
I never cared if my brother was, if my brother
was the greatest whatever. I can see that, you know,
when when we're often like Dan Byer and Monsey filling,
I want the bosses to think they're better than everyone
except us. Isn't that fair, though, dB? Isn't that fair
and honest?

Speaker 5 (52:39):
Well?

Speaker 1 (52:39):
I want to bring an eyewa Sam, because Sam, what
what is my golden rule in all of this?

Speaker 9 (52:44):
Well, whenever Dan is away, when he comes back, he
wants to hear that the show's completely got derailed in
his absence.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
He wants he just wants to be valued in that way.

Speaker 9 (52:57):
You cannot have someone fill in for Dan, and they
were just just hell Dan, that everything was derailed, even
if it wasn't.

Speaker 6 (53:02):
I want to hear about the chaos and how grateful
they are that I'm finally back and that the ship is.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Is back on. They's so great to see you, man, Yes,
my goodness, dude is a glowing crown is unmanageable. Yes, yes,
they my goodness, thank you You're back. I want to
hear how awful it was. I can't stand it when
I go. How are the shows like pretty good. I
reflect that honesty I do. Doesn't Dan Patrick have a
production bit where he says something about that when he's off,

(53:30):
isn't there a production fit? He says, don't cheat on
me with other shows. Don't cheat on me with other shows.
I'm being honest when I said I Dan Byer and Monsei,
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

(53:51):
media at Covino and Rich and then we see all
these people like Man, Dan Byern, Monzi, I think they're
better than CNR. You think we want to hear that.

Speaker 6 (54:01):
But you love it when somebody writes like when are
you guys coming back? And you're like, you're like, hey,
enjoy Dan and Monsey. Yet you have got like goose bumps,
You've got that tingly feeling.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
That you're like, why are people so reluctant to be
honest about that? Especially in sports? 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 1 (54:26):
But I have the answer, coved Dan. It's 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

(54:49):
and he gets to do that for a week. He
goes balls to the wall, does all these 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. So when you get back,
it's like, oh, that guy was great. But this is

(55:11):
why some hosts they want somebody that's just calm and
kind of in between great.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
And you think that's why Colin allows us to fill
in to him.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
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 for.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
The same thing 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 gay face, or any face for

(55:55):
that matter. 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.
Let's push each other further. They could respect that as adults.
But there's no way, no way, even within the Yankees clubhouse,

(56:16):
you don't think deep down inside John Carlow, Juan Soto,
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 beasly in sports because you're
talking about the 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

(56:38):
Katy Perry, herschel Ali is replacing Wesley Snipes's blade. There's
no way 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. Yeah, so it really
is like a full circle a push too, because the

(56:59):
end they're both kind of hots and they're both had.
But you know what, Carrie Underwood, because you know, I'm
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. I was hoping
Taylor Hicks was gonna be how you were rooting for Senjaya.
I thought bo Bie should have been the guy. It's

(57:22):
the anniversary the launch of MTV eight one eighty one
on this day, forty three years ago.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Video Killed the eightio star.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
That kicked it all off. Forty three years ago. Today,
you might have been a baby. You might not have
been born yet you might have been a teenager. But
the launch of MTV has to rank up there with
the biggest launches of the last fifty years we're talking about.
It had major impact on me. Rich game changers. Yeah,
I wanted to be like the little kids in the
Hot for Teacher video. I was Hot for Teacher. Yeah.

(57:56):
I was sort of obsessed with watching all that made
me love music to the next level, the thriller video,
you know, watching these big events. Then the shows that
developed through MTV, Beavis and butt Head, the Liquid television days,
remote Control, just the whole thing, Jersey Shore. Eventually, early

(58:17):
MTV was special. Now, it wasn't a whole lot of
rap on MTV. There was none until eighties TV, right
the launch of you O MTV Raps on August sixth,
nineteen eighty eight. For my age and where I'm from,
that to me is the launch of MTV. I didn't

(58:37):
have cable like when I was really really little. We
weren't into like new wave music or any of that.
We were into R and B, soul, rap and so
fab five.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
Freddy when he debuted with you OMTV Raps, that spoke
to us and I remember busting out blank VHS tape
so we could tape every single episode.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Yo, MTV raps was huge if you were the kid
that wanted to hear more hip hop, if you were
the kid waiting for some more urban sort of elements.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
MTV early on got a lot of criticism for not
playing a lot of black artists. That was a whole
other story.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
They got criticism for how they handled it as well,
and how their vj's explained why they weren't playing black music.
The popular opinion at the time was well, you could
at least play Michael Jackson, and it took.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Them a while to do that.

Speaker 5 (59:23):
You know.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
You know who's spoken out, Rick J. Yeah, I forget
where I saw this was on a recent documentary, I
think a documentary about him. But yeah, MTV was still
though a life changing thing because you got to see
the video that went along with the song, you know,
and it became a part of the culture. So MTV
on this day in nineteen eighty one. Now, when you

(59:46):
talk about where does that rank among the launches the
debuts of things in our lifetime, how about we just
said the last fifty years. Take it from the seventies
until now. I think I have the number one answer,
and the number one answer, I thought I'll give another one.
I thought it might be the iPhone because that just changed.

(01:00:08):
I mean everything, you had everything right there on your
smart device. Why are you stealing Big MIC's answer? Who
the guy that runs his place? Yeah, that's where he's
sitting in the hallway, phonet, Who Mike? Now to me?
I think the real answer because when you're sitting on
your ass every night watching the Yankees, watching documentaries that

(01:00:31):
you're talking about. The minute streaming became a thing changed
it all. Blockbuster Video, see you later, red Box, going
to get a DVD at the supermarket later, the minute
you were able to sit on your butt with your girlfriend,
your wife, your buddies, whoever, and just scroll endlessly through Netflix, Hulu, Hbo, Max,

(01:00:52):
all these things, Amazon Prime. The fact that you could
sit on your butt and and have access to thousands
and thousands of shows, movies, sporting events, everything. How could
that not be the number one answer? Because there's a
few other good ones. I got one. Okay, it's in
the world of sports, because we've seen the inception of
it in our lifetime. Mixed martial arts, I mean, not

(01:01:17):
just random events, of guys grappling, like the when UFC
became a thing, dude, Donna White was on. You would
have thought I would have been the next Ariel Helwani
or something because I was in on it early. I
was a spoiled kid, so when they came out with
these early pay per views, my parents got them for me.
Whether it was a tough man competition, a wrestling event,

(01:01:38):
or early mixed martial arts where some sumo dude was
fighting a Gracie brother. You know, when Big Dan Severn
was fighting a jiu jitsu guy. That sort of changed
everything when you think about it in the world in
the fight came because people started then developing even new
fighting styles. Well let's mix them all together. Mma. I

(01:02:02):
think that's in the world of sports rich. That's that's
to launch. That sort of in our lifetime changed the game.
What you got, Danny J.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
So we are. My family and I were planning a
birthday party this coming weekend. Co is turning one leave
that's gone by so fast.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
He's got a mustache already, he's all grown up. Feeling
your seltzers out of the fridge. The majority is demand
of the house.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Uh, I'm not going to argue that everything seems to
revolve around him. That's true, But how do you think
we've put this birthday party together? And I'll give you
a hint. Our daughter who's about to go into eighth grade.
She ordered some jewelry from an Etsy company, and the
other day she's like, oh my god, I've been waiting
for so long for that package, like almost a week Amazon.

(01:02:48):
When Amazon launched, it changed everybody's lives. I don't know
how we lived without it because we could never go
back to ordering out of catalogs, not having a tracking number,
never even knowing if the past was going to show up,
and we knew it was going to be a couple
of months.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Dude, you that answer might that might be might beat
my streaming answer only because Danny, it could be as
insignificant as you know, our intro talks about your great hair. Yeah, bro,
I need no hair product. You don't have to go
to the store. You don't have to go to have suavecito.
By the end of the day, I'll hit up my
wife and be like, hey, Mayam, I'm running low on

(01:03:25):
you know, hair product? Do we run along toothpaste? By
the end of the day, bing Dong knock on the door,
Amazon box dropped off.

Speaker 1 (01:03:34):
You don't need to go anywhere. Think about COVID when
we were all trapped.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Yeah, game changer. You know I went sports route. As
far as life changing launches technology wise, I'd have to
say GPS. For me, I'm a guy that has no
sense of direction whatsoever. I mean, not only can we
find our way home, but think of how it opened
up your world, meaning you're going to other towns or

(01:04:01):
there's you know, places you would have never went to.
You never knew that restaurant existed. It still baffles me.
I mean you could say, Rich, the technology, what don't
you understand? It still baffles me that every day when
I come to work, I know where I'm going, but
I pop into GPS going to work twenty one minutes.
Oh today there's extra traffic twenty nine minutes. I'm baffled.

(01:04:25):
How it's so accurate. If it tells me I'm getting
here at one twenty three, I get here at one
twenty three. How for a guy like me, especially Rich?
I don't know what's east, what's west? So I see
that's a challenge, challenge acceptance. I'm saving a few minutes
all of that day oh one twenty three challenge accepted
for ways, that's the number one life changer for me.

(01:04:45):
It really opened up your world. You can go to
any city, any city, and just find your way around.
There's no worries. These are all great answers streaming Amazon.
So GPS, we're talking the most significant life changing launches.
If it's sports related, that's fine because I can think
of other ones there aside from mixed martial arts that
that basically developed within our lifetime. GPS, cell phones, which

(01:05:09):
ones are the most life changing? Because MTV launched forty
three years ago today, Okay, I got a good sports one.
And on the tip of GPS, how about Uber and Lyft?

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
You know, remember you'd have to call a black like
a like a what do the taxi or not racist
like a black town car or a taxi depending on
if you were trying to save money or go class.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
A livery cab.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Yeah. So you know what's even funnier though, Rich when
you think of your early mindset of Uber. I always
I cracked myself up when I think about, like I
had young relatives, Yeah, that would say they and no, no,
it's good I'm calling an Uber and I'm like, what's that? No, No,
it's it's a ride service. Wait, I would think you're
getting in the car with a stranger. What are you

(01:06:04):
doing some sort of cooligan. I used to think that
was the craziest concept because it was new to us,
and it's so funny to look back, but rich talk
about life changing. It's the most liberating thing. In fact,
I don't think we take enough advantage of it. You
want to go on a date night with your wifey
and you want to drink and have a good time,
why not Uber there and not worry about driving home?

(01:06:26):
Like justin Timberlake. Wait, didn't taxis provide the same service?
Was not as easy, but you should you should have.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Enough.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
But you were still getting this car with a stranger
with a taxi driver as well. I know that's what
funny about it. I mean, we we worked in New
York City. We all we did was take cats and
I know what you're saying, the bottom floor of the cave,
say something weird about it because we put our trust
in these guys. But also, like a lot of times
it would be cash or credit card. The simple fact
that right now I could go on Uber. Let me

(01:06:59):
go home. Oh, there's an uber two minutes away, and
I've already had my charge info in there. I don't
have to worry about a transaction. But if it was,
if it was Bart's taxi service, there was some sort
of comfort knowing, well, Bart has to be responsible.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
That's what I was gonna say. It was more official.
And you saw their bad photo ID with their license
and a little emblem of you're in the fraternity. Is
this some regular person gonna pick you up? I don't know,
Chad and out of work actors driving.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Me to the movie theater. Yeah, it was a weird
concept for me at first, and now it's it's just
so great, especially on work trips. It's so liberating, so convenient,
so fantastic. I don't know so far rich. I'm leaning
GPS and there was another one oh Amazon that I
got one. I got four. We're talking on the anniversary
of the debut and the launch of MTV the game

(01:07:47):
changing launches, the game changing intervention innovations of our lifetime.
I like interventions. Interventions. I made that word up, innovative invention.
That's called interventions. We're going to do the name this
whole cut, this whole category. I know where you're going.
Where am I going? Can I guess? Yeah? I've been
working with rich for over twenty years, so here's where
I think he's going, just reading his mind, the train

(01:08:09):
track of thought. I don't think you're gonna get it.
I think I got it. I was talking to a
buddy recently who moved to Arizona back in the day,
and he said the hardest part of making that transition
was saying goodbye to your local sports teams. Dude, you're
on the right track because I wrote down red Zone.

(01:08:31):
But the simple fact that I could watch the Mets,
which I do every day because I have sn Y
through Amazon. So when I go home at four o'clock
after the show every day, I just turn on Amazon
Amazon Prime. I scrolled down and there's my I purchased
the season package for the Mets. You guys, remember, back
in the ancient old timey time days, when you go
visit a relative who didn't have your local sports team,

(01:08:53):
you would be miserable because you couldn't watch whatever it
was you we used to watch. But you're going to
visit Grahama on another state that Grandma's how so red Zone?
I watched the Yankees Red Zone, which you know, you
got to give some credit to our pal from Bar Rescue.
John Taffer was part of the original team that put
together Red Zone. If you watch Bar Rescue, John Taffer,
great East Coast guy. The simple fact that every Sunday

(01:09:14):
I could sit on my couch with a four screen
split in four games a game or Red Zone, right,
or any type of Sunday ticket. Danny G. There was
a time where I couldn't watched my Niners every week,
or you couldn't watch your Raiders every week if they
were in Oakland and you were down here in LA.
But can I say something, Danny G. Hold your thought.
That's what always perplexed me about people who rooted for

(01:09:35):
the forty nine Ers or the Cowboys when they didn't
live in Dallas or San Francisco, because you never really
got to see those games all the time growing up,
Football more than other sports, though football more than other sports,
But that always baffled me because you'd have to wait
until your team was playing a primetime game or something.
Now I get it because we have access to all
of it. So I'm saying all these sports packages that

(01:09:56):
we didn't have. You know years ago that now we're
fortunate to have life game changer.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
Eight Red Zone was a big one, Rich, because yeah,
it was a game changer, not just for watching all
the different teams and NFL stars across the league, but
when fantasy football blew up. I remember being able to
see how my team was doing all in front of
me on one screen. That was the first time when.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
We were kids we used to have to wait for
halftime or like a random game break to see like, oh,
what happened. Oh we're cutting to the Niners Bengals for
like ten seconds. That was the most you would get.
So the life changing launches of technology networks products in
our lifetime based on this anniversary, anything else come to mind.

(01:10:40):
We also take your phone calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. You take seven ninety nine on
Fox and you can chime in at Covino and Rich. Yeah,
take those two phone calls, but let me throw two
more at you, and then we'll get back to debating
about Caleb Williams. We'll talk a little NFL season kicks
off Hall of Fame game tonight. Now this is newer
and you can say, well, it made things easier there

(01:11:03):
wasn't like a major issue ahead of time, because a
lot of these things change the game. I don't know
if this is game changing as much as just made
your life a hell of a lot easier. Hey, Kavino,
if I go run and get us coffee, or hey,
I got concert tickets or something. Hey, how are you
gonna pay me?

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
The old Venmo action? Huh Venmo or zell the ability?
I mean, PayPal was first, but the ability will you
always like to point out PayPal owns Venmo though, Yeah,
but so the reality is those type of services instead
of being like, oh, Kavino, hold on, I will we
go to ATM. I owe you forty bucks Venmo game changer.
I gotta tell you, if I was a hobo, and

(01:11:40):
I'm not trying to be but if I was a hobo,
I'd have at least a Venmo count because who has
cash on them? Yeah? Girl, scouts have Venmo coats. I
saw there's a little dude that goes around my softball
field with his little ice cream cart. He now has
a Venmo.

Speaker 6 (01:11:53):
I don't know if this is exactly what you guys
are looking for, but the freedom of a cordless phone
at home when you didn't just have to stand in
the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
Or stretched that long wire down the hallway.

Speaker 6 (01:12:05):
Yes, the act because people would have phones upstairs and downstairs,
right because cordless phone.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Yes, the cordless.

Speaker 6 (01:12:13):
Phone took off so many straps and belts that made
you stay right at that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
Phone in your life.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
We're going to on a throwback Thursday radio shack just
to buy the longest core they possibly had, so I
could take it around the house, talk to your girlfriend, Mom,
don't leck up. You could take it all way into
your room. Absolutely, dB life changing moments, you know, And
that goes back to the cordless phone, which led to
the cell phone and everything else. I said the last

(01:12:40):
fifty years, but I'm gonna cheat. Let's go a little
before that. Well, MTV was forty three years ago today.
What about sixties late sixties when the AFL and the
NFL decided, Hey, we're going to do something called the
super Bowl? Life changing revolutionized. I mean, it's almost almost
And you could say something equally. You could say, well,
it's it's it's a corner your example. But what about

(01:13:02):
when Vince McMahon was not such a great guy these days?
What about when him and the Houlkster and all those
people said, WrestleMania a pay per view wrestling event. It's
a billion dollar industry. Now, I mean, life changing is
some I'm not going to say it's the weakest answer,
but what else? What else? Let me be got on
your feet, bro me awesome sweet Nikes. How about when
Michael Jordan took the sneaker game to the next level

(01:13:26):
where you know converse. There were other players in the game,
but what Michael Jordan and Nike did made sneakers a
cultural phenomenon. Rich was rocking Stride Rights before that happened.
Man Rich was wearing his kids to school. I was
going to bust A Brown. You guys have Buster Brown
out here. Life changing for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
One lifetime And before you know run DMC got on
MTV with my ad some of their other hits. Rich,
I just wanted to follow up really quick because I
was researching life changing moment though was yeah, yeah, I
wanted to give shouts out to David Bowie. He's another
artist who was a proponent for MTV to play black

(01:14:07):
music videos. And then it says that there was a
lot of pressure for MTV to air Billy Jean. The
single dominated on Billboard one hundred. As you know, for
seven weeks. It said that Walter Yetnikoff, who was the
president of CBS Records, had to resort to threatening to
pull all other CBS videos from MTV before the network

(01:14:27):
finally caved in and agreed to play Michael Jackson's Billy Jean.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
This is kind of corny, but when you see how
big it is now, you're going to say, Okay, I
respect the answer. Again. It's the anniversary of MTV forty
three years ago. We saw it launch, bean Banannet, the
moon Man, the whole deal. I want my MTV. It
was huge. I remember as a little kid when I

(01:14:52):
begged my parents to get me Disney Channel. I saw
it launch. I mean I was a little kid when
it launched. And when you see how it evolved into
Disney Plug and the options you get today, everybody probably
has some sort of version of Disney Plus along with
their Hulu package or whatever, and the options there are phenomenal.
When you were little, I'm telling you to see a

(01:15:13):
Disney cartoon that was like that was a magical moment
because all we had was what we had on TV.
So if you were able to see some Disney stuff.
You're like, what, so I'm telling you to see the
evolution of it is pretty awesome now that you have
all those Think of all those puffy VHS boxes you
had with your Disney classics on. You haven't met your

(01:15:33):
fingertips on Disney. Plus. Why did Disney and smut come
in puffy cases? Only Disney and porn came in puffy
I don't get it. I don't know why. I must
have had the same distributor I'm packaging. I have one
one light answer and then we'll do the phone calls.
Move on. We'll talk to NFL game changers in our lifetime.
But dude, I remember those early primitive days of the

(01:15:53):
Disney Channel. It was so weak. You might say, well, dude,
we used to tape things on VCRs and there were
time But I remember in the early two thousands I
had one of the first prototypes because I got it
through the radio station I worked at. Before TVO. There
was something called replay TV, and I remember thinking, whoa, whoa, whoa,
I don't need to actually use a VHS tape. The
idea that we could DVR and have things on demand,

(01:16:16):
that's the whole world of podcasting, TV show streaming. Things
people want to watch when they want to watch changers,
Like if you listen, did you want to watch alf
on Monday nights? You had to otherwise you want to
catch out?

Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
The worst is do we all have friends or relatives
that still live in the cave man days when you're like, yo, man,
just DVR or watching on demand and they're like, yeah,
I don't have that, Like, what do you mean you
don't have that? Jeez, twenty twenty four, I'm not your
friend anymore. DVR is such a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Rich My wife was trying to explain that to the
kids last week and we were talking about how how
much extra DVR costs at first?

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
Remember, yeah, balling, I have a separate subscription.

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Yeah you were balling. If you started out with DVR.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
You know what, it is a game changer, So you
know why, so you could live the rest of your
life you just fast forward through the nonsense. Yeah, kids
today don't know the struggle. I had to tell my kids, Like,
you know, I used to have to time the commercials,
go to the bathroom and then slide back into the
room of my socks. You tried to missake for another
bawl of cereal, get back in time. Well, you know what,
three quickies and we'll move along. Dandy g who we

(01:17:18):
got calling the show?

Speaker 4 (01:25:56):
Hey, thanks appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Hey, thanks for playing man, Chapotle worker or Olympian. Our
way of getting you to know some of the people
competing over the weekend and your favorite place to buy
a burrito bull. We could go division by division of
the AFC today. We'll hit up the NFC next week.
Let's start with the AFC East. Danny, I'll kick it
to you if you want to start with the bills.

(01:26:20):
Do we feel like the bills are just wildcard or
division winner. The Bills are are set or no.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
They're gonna go to the playoffs again. I know, it's
kind of like a trendy thing you've been hearing on
radio and TV that, oh, the Bills are definitely gonna
take a step back. Well, they lost the weapons and
you know, okay, but they still have Josh Allen and
they still have a really nice defense, so they're definitely
at least gonna be a wildcard team in my mind.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Now I got the three teams. I got my three
teams that are going to be out this show. And
I think the AFC East is where one of your
switcher rules takes place, because as I see your notes,
you got some Dolphins Jets action Dolphins out Jets.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
Because I just think I feel they peaked, that's all.
You're the same one, Danny. I also have the Dolphins
written down in Coveno. The reason I think that because
Mike McDaniel is a g he's from your forty nine
er coaching tree, Rich. But the Dolphins lost Wilkins, b Jones,
Van Ginkel, who was an important defensive part of their team,
and Hunt, and so I think McDaniel might need a

(01:27:23):
next off season to fully restock that team there in.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
My own then get the hell out of my life.
Who need you beat it? Leave me alone? And we
often talk about the window a team's window to win, right,
don't you feel like that window has been open for
the past three seasons. That's what Danny G was saying.
People are also saying about the Bills. But I have
more faith than Josh Allen even with less weapons. And
Tua's got that big contract. You see the meme where

(01:27:46):
it's TWOA makes more in one year than Dan Marino
made in his whole career. So there's a lot of
pressure on Tua to be the guy that everyone thinks, right,
you get that big deal. They might not be bad,
Danny G. But sometimes nine and eight or ten and
seven might not be enough in a very competitive to AFC,
especially with the Jets and Aaron Rodgers at full strength.
And I don't know, I feel like you're looking at Bills,

(01:28:08):
Jets making the playoffs, Dolphins may fall just shy. I
think we all agree on that, which means, sorry, someone,
if we're going to play the stats of seven new teams,
they could think all three of those teams could make it. Yeah,
but someone's got to be out. And I think let's
let's agree for now that the Dolphins Jets might be
the switch there. So there's one of your switches, right,

(01:28:32):
let's go to the north where I think one of
them is obvious to me. You you might say I'm
upsetting the biggest fan base in the AFC, yah Steelers,
and this Mike Tomlin can't be under five hundred. It's
got to end eventually. And Russell Wilson, he's already a
little banged up. Justin Fields, I think this is the
year where it's a many question marks. It's a little
back to reality for the Steelers, too many question marks,

(01:28:53):
and the Bengals are back this year. That's how I
feel about it. Do you think, Danny G I mean
we I thought what I had down. I know I
had three teams written down, and I know Rich had three.
We both had the Steelers out. Yeah. I like watching.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
I do like watching Justin Fields on Sunday. But since
they barely squeaked into the AFC seven seed last season,
it's going to be a tough row to ho And
do you know that the.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
Steelers have the third toughest strength of schedule, I did not,
which that just adds too much a reason too Listen,
they could be eight and nine, seven and ten and
you know, be in that middle of the pack. But
I don't think they're sneaking because they snuck him last year.
So with the Bengals having Joe Burrow back, if he
stays healthy, it's hard to imagine Burrow and Lamar Jackson
both being in the playoffs. So if you got Ravens,

(01:29:40):
oh side notes, speaking of Joe Burrow, more reason to
watch that Pete Rose documentary. It starts off with how
fond he is of Joe Burrow. Really yeah, it starts
off with a lot of Joe Burrow. All right. So
if you got Ravens and Bengals in, what about the Browns?
Do you think the Browns take a step back? You
think the Browns maintain that wildcard as well?

Speaker 3 (01:29:57):
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
And here's why my reasoning is kind of stud But again,
what are we working with right now? Brown says a
lot of Browns have the toughest the number one toughest
strength of schedule. But there's a lot that we talked
about the whispers of Deshaun Watson, like really being ready
this season and really bringing it like, oh man, you
don't know he's looking good?

Speaker 3 (01:30:16):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
I feel like that's just all hype. And anytime we
hear that hype, like anytime for even just as long
as we've been doing the show, wherever there's hype, it's
usually like, well what was that hype all about?

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
I can understand arguing or debating Cleveland. I'm gonna be
the yeah but guy, sure, yeah, but Rich do you
remember that defense against your Niners last season?

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
Damn good?

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
Yeah man, that defense is gonna win some games.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
And a full season of the Shawn. So I think
I'm I'm keeping the Browns in there. So as of
right now, my outs are just remember we had the
same hype last year about the Giants about the Steelers,
you know, like that hype rarely comes to fruition, So
we'll see what happens. See, this is where I'm tricky.

(01:30:59):
So now I'm gonna give you a little switcheroo here this.
I think Houston is a great team. In fact, I
may pick the under on them in Vegas because people
think Houston's gonna pick it up. I love I wonder
maj Stroud bring that sort of hype again, that sort
of level of play is there like a sophomore Jinks there.
Could they have figured him out a little bit, but
he had some fire in his eyes even yesterday. On

(01:31:21):
the side he has he has a good squad. Yeah,
he has a has a good you know, good receiving
care around him. Jet. But Danny G do you remember
last year the Jacksonville Jags. They have a good head coach,
Doug Peterson. They were six and two, they bumped into
the forty nine ers and after that they were never
the same. They were one of the best teams in
the a FC. So I want to be shocked if
Jacksonville rebounded and Houston found themselves as one of those

(01:31:42):
nine to eight teams that are good but might be
on the outside looking in. Right, Eh, big question mark there.
I know I still believe in CJ. Stroud. Okay, Now
let's go to your AFC West realistically, Dan, do you
believe in your Raiders? Do you still think they're Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
I feel like their defense is now good enough to
make a push for the wild card.

Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
Okay, I think the Chargers have one of the weakest
strength of schedules. And you know that the Chargers start
out playing This is gonna be a big one week one, Danny,
because they play the Raiders, correct the Chargers with new
head coach Jim Harbaugh. They play the Raiders, the Panthers,
the Steelers, then a tough one against the Chiefs. Then
they play Broncos, Cardinals, Saints like the Chargers. After about

(01:32:28):
eight or nine games, could be like six and two
if they play at a at a level that's something
they could play at. The Chargers might be your surprise
wildcard team. And who's to say that the always healthy,
always figure it out Chiefs will stay that way this year. Way,
you know, No, that's a success. And they only won
five games last year. So if you think they're going

(01:32:49):
to be six and two in their first day games,
I mean as a major improvement, I think you're crazy.
I might be crazy, but still that you would have
to say, even if they don't make the playoffs, well,
at least they're in the right direction.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Coach is gonna make them better, for sure. I don't
know if they're going to be that much better that
quick
