Speaker 2 (01:56):
You know I'm a fan of volleyball booty, all right, Rancom,
Jean Carlos Stanton, stop the singles Ulio Franco or Bartolo Club.
Bartolo Club swimmers are right up there with the volleyball booties, Monci.
Because every woman, as you know most nowadays, where the like,
here's the whole booty.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, I don't know what that's because it's not a
full song. It's like a midong. Well half cracking. Yeah,
like cheeky, isn't that the new hockey team?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
And yes, half cracking release on half Cracking? Hey, can
I share a story with you, It's one of my
favorite stories. Please, guys, real quick before we get into
Rich's Brandon Nayuk theory. Okay, Cisco the Thong song song.
His buddy came up to him. Do you know that's
how it happened? You know how the song was made.
I'm being seen telling. Came up to him and he goes, yo, guys,

(02:47):
Cisco's there and he's like, guys, guess what I got
last night?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
And Cisco is like, what'd you get? And that guy
says that.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Dong, the dong dong thong, and Cisco's like what. He's like, yeah,
she was wearing that thong.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
And this is late nineties. Yeah, he turned out don
don don dong and the don don don do stop.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But the crazy part is, you forget late nineties, early
two thousands, it wasn't super common for every woman to
be wearing thoughts. So Cisco and his boys in the
music studio were like, whoa, whoa, whoa what is that
a thong? And he's like, yeah, man, like a little
underwear upper crag and he's like to Don Kong Kong
and it turned into this. You know, he changed the
melody up a little bit, got some guy to play

(03:30):
violin and turned and.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
We were kids. That's what our moms called chonk cloves.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, my dad still calls flip Fluff's thoughts.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, and the violin part was inspired by eleanor Rigby.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's not eleanor Rigby, but inspired.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And the fun part about that the guy I hear,
the guy who does the violin on the Thunk song
is like a top level, a level studio violinists and
his his work includes like all this award winning like
classical music and.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
The Thounk song.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
But it was it was his buddy just you know,
bragging about the night before who dropped that dong, the
Don Don don that inspired the song.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
And you can only imagine.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
After maybe a couple shots or a couple little hits
to the studio, that seemed like a great idea, like
a song about underwear. Yeah, and the number one hit
for Sis. It's been a viral clip throughout the week,
so we share it with you since you brought up
all the booties at the Olympics. That's Rich Davis and
I'm Steve Cavino. Thank you guys for hanging out with
us on the daily. Remember check our podcast search Covino

(04:34):
and Rich and tomorrow it looks like we'll do an
over promised show our bonus podcast on Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page if you want to check them out now.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Brandon, I you your guy Monci.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Unless you have a breaking news update, there's still no
official news, no tractioning, nothing.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
The latest is that his agent was at Raiders camp
and the NFL network try to talk to his agent
and the agent's like.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
No comment, nothing.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
All I'm gonna say is, don't believe everything you read
on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, I'm gonna let you guys decide. You make the call.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
There's two angles to this, and you know what, I
think I'll make the decision. I think I want to
go timeline first, because you might say, how do we
even end up here?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Right?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
How do we end up in this situation where Brandon
Ayuk is bro hugging John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan on
the field, He's not playing, not practicing. Meanwhile, it's very
clear he wants out, but he's powing around with his teammates.
But then Christian McCaffrey referred to him as my ex
teammate Brandon Ayuk, So is it like official but not official.

(05:38):
Let's go back to twenty twenty two, two football seasons ago.
A J. Brown was on the Titans. AJ Brown was
offered eighteen million dollars and he's like, nah, not enough.
Receivers are the most important position besides quarterbacks. Now and
AJ Brown, as you remember, ended up in Philadelphia, got

(05:58):
over twenty Tyreek Hill that year signed a four year,
one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. Then your boy
Devanta Adams Danny g signed one hundred and forty million
dollar deal.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
You saw on receiver.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
These guys justin Jefferson, they're getting the biggest deals ever.
Fast forward to last year within the forty nine ers organization,
Brandon Ayuk, while he's seeing his value grow, he witnessed
Debo do the whole on follow the forty nine ers
on social media.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
That seems to be a blueprint.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Playing reindeer game Shenanigans, and it was like, man, Deebo
looks like he's out. Fast forward the forty nine ers
figureway to get that Debo deal done three years over
seventy mil. And then he watched Bosa play those same
games at the beginning of last year on the defensive
side of the ball, and they gave Bosa five years
one seventy. So Ayuk's thinking, well, you know what, I'm

(06:59):
just next guy up in this team of superstars. But
the forty nine ers have made it very clear that
the money we're offering you is it. They're not looking
at Debo as a Justin Jefferson as an A'moran s.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Brown as a C. D. Lamb.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
They're not looking at him as a Devonte Adams. I
think I think Brenton Ayuk is one level below those guys.
And I'm a Niners fan who watches every week in
and week out. Okay, my first thought is you say
Ayuk and you really lean into it, and there's a
lot of people say Ayuk.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, they're saying it wrong.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, And I've noticed that a lot of people just
roll with what they feel comfortable with. Nowadays, Madramov, Madreamov
is Ayuk Ayuk.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
People don't care anymore.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's really noticeable, especially with this name because in the
news allow and I'll started with John Miller on Sunday
Night Baseball when he would say Carlos BELTROMP And I
was like, I was like, that was John Miller.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I thought that was Ben Franklin. Wait, it might have
been been for frank with Joe Morgan. I remember. I mean,
they would always.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Say Beltrom and I'm like, you mean Carlos Beltrom.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
That man always says that we say wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh Cardinals. But aside from that, I call this the
Tyreek Hill theory. I think the Chiefs proved that even
a superstar like him isn't going to be the difference
maker here when you got a solid squad behind you.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
They won without him, and I.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Think that's what your team is rolling with, Like, yeah,
he's not bigger than the team here. We've played without
him before and we're successful. I think we'll be just fine.
He's not the difference maker. If Tyreek Hill wasn't the
difference maker with the Chiefs, Ayuk or Ayuk isn't a
difference maker with your forty nine ers. Ayuk led the
team in receptions last year. Tyreek Hill is one of

(08:52):
the greatest athletes voted Top five one top he was
number one, right, yeah, number one by all the NFL players.
And guess what the chiefs said, Yeah, we'll still win without.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
You, and they did.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Wouldn't you say that's a big nanny nanny poof poof
to Ayuk's case.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Here, you say, PuF puff I did? Are you cut?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
One hundred and five receptions thirteen hundred and forty two yards. Now,
if you look at the other forty nine er weapons,
Christian McCaffrey just dominated that team between rushing yards and
receiving yards. Kittle over one thousand yards, ninety receptions. Deebo,
that's all right. You know what's a lot of other weapons.
Deebo had a down year but still had eighty nine receptions.

(09:37):
Almos steps up almost nine hundred yards and steps. They
they drafted Ricky Piersoll, They got Juwan Jennings. They got
t O's kid, who's looking good as like a back
of the end, you know, wide receiver rotation, uh Tarik Owens.
They got Ronnie bell They just signed Matt Brida again.
I don't know if he'll be on the team, but

(09:57):
Ronnie bell I Bell, Bivdavo, Yeah, freaky Bill.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Let me ask you this, Rich because you are are
in house Niners expert. Does the injury history of Debo
worry you? Because let's compare just a little bit. I
uke in Debo I UX twenty six and according to
draft Sharks, he has a forty three percent chance of
injury this this coming season. Deebo's twenty eight. He's got

(10:21):
an eighty six point five percent chance of injury. And
in the past five seasons, guess how many games Debo
has missed from injury.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Man, I would wager to say close to half seventeen
games in how many years in five? Well, I die,
so not as many as I thought. But yeah, he
always seems a little banged up where I us a
little more sturdy, a little more reliable. But this is
also a really interesting test. I don't by the way,
can I make this point Rich two before you tell
us about the test. I don't mind this guy trying

(10:51):
to get what he can. Of course, that's just the
way the game is played nowadays. On following the team.
Like we said, that's the blueprint. So I'm not mad
at him trying to get everything he can out of
the team. But do they need him?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
It's you know when you have a riches of when
you have a plethora, I said plethora. You don't even
know what a plethora is. When the forty nine ers
have a plethora of weapons. I'm not saying you don't
need Auk, like, oh, who cares, he's yesterday's garbage. He's
still a great wide receiver. But I don't think the

(11:27):
forty nine ers go from Super Bowl contender to middle
of the pack if you don't keep Brandon Ayuk.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
I really don't. I think.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I think like you said, Kittle, Deebo, McCaffrey, Juwan Jennings, Pierce,
all the rookie people will make an impact in a
different way. I think this is a true test for
someone in particular Jennings.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, this is a chance for Jennings to step.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Not only Juwan Jennings, but this is the ultimate. This
is almost written for the forty nine ers as a test.
Oh and you check that he may catch a couple
more balls out of the backfield. Might be one of
the best blocking players in the line. But yeah, throw
a use check in there and his wife's sweet jackets.
This is a great test for brock Purty. If brock

(12:10):
Purty wants to get paid next year, like he's in
a top tier quarterback in the National Football League. I
think having Debo, McCaffrey and Kittle and other cast memberies Piersall,
shouldn't that be enough for Brock Purdy to show that
he still got the juice and juice. Yeah, it's going

(12:34):
to give him an opportunity to show that he can
make a star really out of anybody.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
And that's what great leaders do in great quarterbacks do.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
We've seen guys like Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes turn superstars
into people you didn't even know and they would leave
and move on. He'd make superstars out of other people.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
But Rich we saw Party struggle without Debo, remember this, But.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
That's that's where Purdy could really show. Hey, man, is
it Jennings? Yeah, I'll make him the man. Then listen,
Jennings would be the MVP of the Super Bowl had
the forty nine ers one. He had a great game.
I think that this is a this season's forty nine
Ers team. You isn't even the story. The story is
is Party going to continue to develop? Because last year

(13:16):
you could argue he may never match those numbers again.
Party had an MVP numbers type of year and really
just missed out because it's like it's rock party and
people still don't really believe. But if party puts up
those type of numbers with those type of weapons, that'll
be the proof that y'ah party's legit. If he loses
his quote number one, you know, wide receiver one, then

(13:41):
he's earned it. Anyone, based on your inside information as
the forty nine ers guy, is there anyone that's sort
of salivating at the opportunity willing to pay ay what
he's worth it? I mean, I know the Patriots deal
fell through, but yeah, the forty nine ers, if that
deal would have went through, wouldn't they have got Kendrick

(14:03):
Bourne on the flip of that back?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
So like you're gonna get something for.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Him, whether it's just the money off the plate, whether
it's draft inventory or something, You're gonna get something for Ayuk.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I just think that the forty nine ers are gonna
be just fine with Adam.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
But if you were Ayuk or Ayuk, yeah, you want
the money that you feel you're valued at, but you
also want to play for a team that's contending or
that's not losing every week, you know what I mean?
Like He's also in a really good situation, Like you
have to compromise a little bit.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I do, dude, Yeah, you might get that money. We're
gonna play for a week or team.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I do think that is every week you want your
stats to you want to be on your ass every Sunday.
I do think that play for a solid team at
a reasonable rate. I do think that's an interesting factor
because how much money would make a difference for him,
like the chance to win. Look at DeVante Adams no
offense to your Raiders, Danny. He seemed very unhappy there
when Derek, especially when Derek Carr split, not not on.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
His own choice.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
DeVante him seems like he missed the days of catching
passes from Aaron Rodgers and the glory days.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
He wasn't good at hiding it.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
He's frustrated with the quarterback situation for sure. Yeah, so
what he loves playing for Antonio Pierce.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
So what I'm saying is, if you're Brandon Ayuk and
you're on a team that's let's let's be honest here,
guaranteed ten eleven wins, forty nine ers are a playoff team.
Guaranteed tee to be in the mix you're guaranteed to
be getting the ball.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, you're a postseason player. You got to factor all
that in. You go to New England, You're.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Great, you got your money, You're playing in New England.
Now you're going to be complaining about the quarterball.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
All the rumors are.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
That's why New England quote unquote pulled out of conversations
with contracts because with the contract because supposedly doesn't want
to go to New England.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Now, Pittsburgh, that's that's one of the teams they're talking about.
You know, that's that's also a borderline playoff team. So
we shall see. Did the forty nine ers fumble? This
is the question your thoughts at eight, seven, seven, nine
to nine on Fox. I just want to list some
wide receivers to just see if we're on the same page,
because I'm gonna list people that I think are better
than Brandon Ayuk. Okay, and you tell me if you

(16:07):
if you agree, because I think while Ayuk is solid
and he made an impact again have thirteen hundred yards
last year, there's this guy's no slouch. But if I said, Kvino,
who do you rather have, Tyreek Hill or Brandon Ayuk
Tyreek hail Not only do I think that the entire
NFL seems to think that Danny Tyreeker or a Yuk.

(16:29):
You don't even have to ask se C d Lamb
or Ayuk CD lambyah Cede Lamb playmaker. Man, I'm on
Ross Saint Brown or CD or Ayuk after after receiver Brown,
Justin Jefferson or Brandon Ayuk Jefferson, Yeah, man a j
Brown or Brandon Ayuk a Yuk? Okay, Well, I know,

(16:50):
I think that's where the line okay, and then what
Stefan Diggs Ayuk is ascending?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Jamar Chase. Yeah, that's a tough one. So I think
we in agreement.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
We might disagree on a couple Danny, but it's safe
to say Ayuk's a top Tennish but not a top five.
So if the Niners are offering him in the twenty range,
is that not was he not willing to take that
type of deal or seeing if someone else? I mean
it's negotiation, right, negotiating.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
So yeah, maybe he's no Samuel L. Jackson.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Jackson the negotiator. So anyway, your thoughts on the Niners.

major all the stories in the world of sports and
entertainment that you love just as much as synchronized swimmer booty.

are a few of Rich's favorite things. We are gonna

(19:20):
get to your phone calls. We're gonna play midweek major
your feedback on social media. And I just mentioned the
forty nine ers depth, that wide receiver. I mentioned Too's
kids like actually playing well they just released them within
the last hour. Oh but you know what to show
they have depth, like the kid was showing some promise.
And I think the Niners will be just fine without
Brandon Auk. But you know what, it's no one wants

(19:43):
to lose an elite guy. What about Brandon Auk? What
about him? I figure turning into your dad where he
just says everything wrong, but because he's old, he just
doesn't care anymore.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
What do you think? What is it? Ayok? Is right? Well?
I think Brandon, ah you call dessolves whatever he can get.
I think you're saying it wrong.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
He says, ayuk I that's here. A lot of the
announcers say, I, I yuck a yuk. Yeah, guys, he
might have been assigned the game one week. Brandon, I yuk,
I say ayuk Okay, but I'm confused now, don't we.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah? What up? Jared?

Speaker 5 (20:40):
What's going on? Gentlemen?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
What up?

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (20:43):
My deal is this, if we would have an issue
paying him, if we if he was going to have
one hundred and fifty targets a year, that kind of stuff,
He's just not going to get that. Yeah, there's no
he's not demanding that kind of money and we're not
going to use him like a you know, at Jefferson
or a Saint Brown or somebody like that.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
That's a great point, and to back you up, Jarret,
to prove that you're just a really wise forty nine
er scan like myself.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Brandon Ayuk was thirty first.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
In receptions last year because the forty nine forty nine
ers have a wealth of options, so he had you know,
it's not like he had one hundred thirty reception factor life. Hey,
Covino and Richard doing I here at Fox Sports Radio.
You're not making more money that I was making at
my previous job. I'm not, but I'm a hell of
a lot happier. Yeah, you got to factor those things in.

(21:32):
Is he not happy winning in San Francisco? That's an
interesting bounce. I always wanted that because you're your time
frame to make money, you gotta mystery somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
As you always make fast yourself. Would you rather be
Misery somewhere else making more money? Listen, you know you
wouldn't Coveno.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
The Niners have allowed him, though, to go out there
and deal with other teams of his choice.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's an interesting one, right, because if you have a
little window of time to make tens of millions of
dollars and create generational wealth, it's easy for you or
I to say, what's the difference between twenty six million
dollars and thirty two million dollars?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I don't know. Six million dollars more than most will
make in their whole life. I get it a million
from misery. I'm just trying to give you all facts. No,
I agree. It's interesting. You're right because there's a part
of me that says, why would you want to leave
this team when they are Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
No, when you could get paid very very well from
a winning organization, why would you not want to stay?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I got paid and I'm miserable. Don't want open look
at that? You know what? I think it's time to play.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I agree that not a game but a feature that
I love every week mid Week Major Let's.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
Go Covino and Rich get you over the middle of
the week where mid.

Speaker 1 (22:42):

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Say, that's something week definitely see in our scoring mid
Week major.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Seconds. Ten seconds. Now I'm firing up.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
Don't forget break dancing in the Olympics. It's Friday for
her Cardboard box. When you hear the horns hit, you
know you've made it to the middle of the week.
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host to this segment, we love to roll the
two big Red Love Dust in the main studio.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
I roll the five, could be all the five five five?
David Right, I hope you're roll a three.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Eight?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Okay, Steve Young cal Ripken so Rich gets the first take.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Yes, and now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person
from Scotch Plains New Jersey besides Judy Bloom spotty boy.

Speaker 8 (23:50):
All right, Rich, since you're going first, you mentioned it earlier,
I'll throw it right at you. New concoctions being announced
ahead of the upcoming NFL season, and the most intriguing
and possibly grossest is coming from none none other than
the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
With their cotton candy burrito.

Speaker 8 (24:08):
This looks some culinary confection will contain ice cream and candy,
an assortment of candy wrapped in wrapped in like sheets
of cotton candy. Cardinals anounced over fifty new food offerings
at State Farm Stadium, So you have to really wonder,
like will this hold up in the September heat?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Who knows?

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Mide major spot if you could chow Cavino a picture
of it while I comment because I think this is major.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I saw it. It's embarrassing for anyone trying to fight diabetes.
This thing. Honestly, it's like sour candy, candy, ice cream,
and it looks like someone just whips.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
It's like fruit loops, sprinkles, m and ms.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
There's like anything you can think of is in it. Honestly,
probably a human for Fat Guy Radio, a normal humans,
normal humans monthly sugar intake is probably in thatdo.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Wilford Brimley is rolling in his grave right now. This
is horrible.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
That's why people hate Americans, all terrible. Like I would
never I'm a dad who likes to buy my kid
treats at the game.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, you want to buy ice cream? Yeah, future dipping
dots ice cream in the future. Yeah, get what you want.
This is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Kind of careless parent buys that for their kid and
to call it a burrito.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
As a half red Mexican, I'm offended. It's not a burrito.
Get out of you with that track? Want to be
a could I put talking on it?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Gurto bar Uh.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
They have a hot cheeto of loteo as well, if
you'd like to try that, maybe you.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Can have them both back to that.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
All right, I'm not trying to rain on the fun parade,
but this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
I give it.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
Week wow, all right, rich Also to you as well,
I know you love bulge. Champony Avaratti, who you know
is the famous failed pole vaulter, is poking fun, poking
fun at his mishapp. He posted a video a tikta
at the caption, obviously in French, but pov, you make

(26:03):
more buzz for your package than your performance. Quickly deleted
the video, though we're not I'm not sure why. Maybe
you got a little flack or maybe the comment section
went wild. As you know, he received a two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars offer to show his junk on
the porn site camp Soda declined it but uh, midweek
or major making fun of it.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
I think it's I think it's mid But I do
think it's It's funny.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
We do live in a world where I think one
of the highlights of this year's games weren't honestly a
lot of dirty stuff like look at this person's bulge,
look at this person's booty.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
It really is wild the direction we're going.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Listen, Olympians are sleeping in the you know, sleeping in
the streets with each other. But you know, it's a
wild scene the Olympics. But hey, I think it's it's
it's mid thanks the.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Moment was major.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
This story is mid okay most And I think it's
really weak to think that some elite athlete would be
willing to take two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
And stoop that low.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
We're talking, I know, but come on, I gotta give
more credit for that. You no, this guy represents his country.
He's a prideful guy. Get out of here with that.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Not so you don't know if he's a prideful guy.
Sure he is.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
He's representing his country. That's proudly pride. What do you
mean doesn't make him prideful?

Speaker 1 (27:20):
What do you think they're doing. He's a poll vaulter. Yeah,
but he's trying to win.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
You think that You think that automatically comes with pride, Yeah,
because some people have.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Guys morals rich not that. Not everybody's like you, degenerate
perpt Now it was a pervert like you. I relaxed,
calm down.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
I don't think they're competing for Sam. They're representing their
country proudly. Sam needs a rimshot on himself. I don't
think they even heard what I said. It's fine speaking.
I assume everything Sam said. I heard something about.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
A poll alternate.

Speaker 8 (27:48):
Yeah, well, things all right. Harrison Butker, fresh off his
brand new it how many.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Years, four years, twenty five point six contracts, is doing
damage control on his controversial speech still but maybe making
things a bit worse, I don't know. During a training
camp press conference, Bucker addressed the media regarding his infamous
college graduation speech, saying basically saying this was a summary
I love women. He said how he's always a husband
and father before Kicker, and that his point was to

(28:17):
make that women should embrace being wives. And mothers before
their careers as well, because that's what he does as
a man. But it had nothing to do with like
being misogynisticer against women.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
He loves women, He loves his wife.

Speaker 8 (28:28):
I mean, he also praised Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, and
his coach Andy Reid for having his back Midweeker Major.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
This is this is weak, and I'll tell you why
he shouldn't have to defend himself. Harrison Bucker is a
man that might just have different, you know, morals than
you and maybe different ethics. I'm team Harrison Bucker for
Beyonce to say what he wants to say.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I mean, you may not agree with him, but the guy's.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
A great kicker and he's done nothing to bother you,
so back off. Surprisingly agree with rich Oh, I think
anyone that expects everyone to have the same opinions is
kind of weak.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
He doesn't have the same opinion as me, so I
don't like him. They don't have to.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
You see in politics all the time, it's the grossest
part of politics. Liberals and Republicans like, if you don't
agree with me, we like, yeah, dude, God forbid, someone
thinks differently.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I don't think he's hurt any play by those roles,
so he explained himself, whatever.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
I got some choice for you. We've always wondered why
Jet's cute. I know, right, Aaron Rodgers and his family
has not been on speaking terms for years. Yeah, speculation
was always about it, like he's a weirdo and his
a weird lifestyle. While a new tell all book by
sports journalist Ian O'Connor may have the answer. In this
is the title Out of the Darkness, The Mystery of

(29:48):
Aaron Rodgers, O'Connor says that then girlfriend Olivia Mund.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Almost to blame for the break of him and his family.

Speaker 8 (29:57):
Eden Darla Rodgers felt that the actress was the chief
culprit behind their family discorded, which was started in twenty fourteen.
They're devout Christians and were appalled that Olivia Mun would
talk about their sex life publicly, how she used to
move to like they didn't have sex on game days ooh,
and apparently created a huge schism in the family. And
also too, she was trying to control a Mun was

(30:18):
trying to control rogers, like keeping him away from family
and friends, and just created this whole big thing. So
juicy stories juicee details your major Wow. Same with John
Mulaney's family. I'm kidding, this is such a non story like.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Who again, Wow? Really, who hasn't dated someone.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
That their family doesn't like? They're just happen to be celebrities.
But the fact that Olivia mun is responsible for like
the Rogers family breakup, like when you move past that
relationship though, usually men's with your family like, yeah, we're
not together anymore, let's uh, let's fix this.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
The fact that they haven't fixed.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
It yet is like, well, maybe Rogers holds some resentment
towards the family because they're partially responsible for that breakup
because it made things difficult.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I think that's a major story, because anything that involves
Aaron Rodgers is major. And to hear this side of
the story, and you know it's two public figures, Olivia
Munn and Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Is juicy. I was spot that was a juicy story
put on the side of to hear more juicy. Hold
up later a minute, how I and I actually agree.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
That's that was embarrassing to his family, probably to hear
that sort of open detail about their sex life. Yeah,
but not everybody rolls like you.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
But why you stop it there? The other son was
on The Bachelor.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
That that's not the same what I'm saying, like, but let's,
you know, come on, let's let's not make it seem
like they have the most talking about the sex life
from the parents and the other son is not Aaron Rodgers.
All right, everyone's a weenie. Next, one more quickie. We've
done one more quickie.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
What do you think about Pitbull getting the naming rights
to the Florida International University Stadium?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
How about that creature?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, it depends what he names it, until I decided
it could be Pitbull Stadium. Stadium sign me a major awesome.
I think it's it's very major. That's a really cool endorsement.
Way to get your name out. There might be the
start of more of that six million over five years. Yeah,
As we go to Mansi for Update monthly. A pit
Bull fun fact.

Speaker 8 (32:17):
I love a rhymes Kodak with Kodak. What do you
think of that? That's a fun fact.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
We've interviewed him a bunch of times, but I thought
it was cool. Pit Bull made it clear to me
he goes for every video or concert or event he has,
he hands selects the booty dancers because he wants to
make sure they're what he would approve of, like he is.
He gets final say in anyone dances. Yeah, very riches
in the mood. Huh rich love to stop it, you know,

(32:43):
stop it.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's why.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Well, the more the more you know about Pitbull, mister
three oh five. All right, guys, I don't even know
where to go from that, but I guess I'll start
with the Olympics I mentioned earlier.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Quincy Hall.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Here is the call on NBC television because it is
just so good.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
He's fading badly at this point. Lead chimes Quincy, Quincy,
quin Quincy. You gotta watch it if you haven't seen it.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
He was far behind, pulls it off, gets the four
hundred meters gold, Quincy Hall.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
And that call was pretty good. You know, it was
a good call. We've seen some not so good calls.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
US women's basketball defeated Nigeria in the quarterfinals eighty eight
to seventy four. That's fifty nine straight wins. US men's
beach volleyball lost their quarterfinals match to Cutter Qatar. However
you want to say it. USA stays in lee with
twenty seven gold medals. After Day twelve ninety four total medals.
NFL preseason Week one starts tomorrow. The Steeler said that

(34:01):
Russell Wilson is not going to plan their preseason opener.
He's dealing with a calf injury. So Justin Field is
going to start. But as to who's going to be
starting quarterback week one, that is still to be determined,
but Russell Wilson is ahead, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
The Athletic reports that the Steelers are still in talks
with the forty nine ers about a trade for wide
receiver Brandon i Yuk Chiefs said. Coach Andy Reid says
quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other starters will play a quarter

(34:22):
in their preseason opener on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
No Lamar Jackson for the Ravens.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
No running back Derrick Henry for their preseason game on
Friday against the Eagles. Josh Johnson is going to start

Jets wide receiver I Know Mike Williams, who's coming from
a torn acl has been activated off the physically unable
to perform list. Colts head coach Shane Steign confirmed that
wide receiver Josh Down suffered a high ankle sprain.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
NFL Network reports.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
That he's going to be out four to six weeks
in the NFL, or excuse me, in the NBA, Jazz
and Ford Laurie Markinen have agreed to a five year,
two hundred than thirty eight million dollar contract renegotiation and extension,
and the NCAA did hand former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh
a four year show cause penalty for recruiting violations during
the COVID dead period and unethical conduct. Basically, they're banning

(35:14):
him from college athletics athletics until August of twenty twenty eight.
This has nothing to do with the sign stealing scandal either.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Ooh yeah, thank you much, and Jiz, we have more
Olympic stuff to talk about. We got more.

Speaker 2 (35:28):

birthday present for Friday. Go fund Steve at Steve Covino.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Thank you.

so I could post my booty shots on my Instagram.
At Steve Cavino, thank you. Birthday is Friday, Bro, I'm
gonna be celebrating.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
He wants a Yankee? Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. By the way, when
do you ask these knuckle why do you ask these knuckleheads? Well,
you asked me earlier today on our Patreon podcast.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
What can you have?

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Too many Yankee hats? Like Cavino feels like he's gone
overboard wear?

Speaker 1 (37:16):
How many?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
How many different Yankees hats do you have? As many
as I could find? And my girlfriend's like and that's enough.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
I'm like, yo, another one.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
No one tells you what you could buy and can't buy.
There's boxes in front of the door every day. You're
building the clubhouse. And you got a problem with me
and my Yankee hats. It's my thing.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
You're not storing the hats on her side of the closet.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
No, No, they're all organized, real nice, and nobody's face
and nobody's way telling.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Me I can't have a Yankee hats.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
So I think the answer is, if it's your thing
and it's not putting yourself in debt, you do whatever
you want. If it's your thing and it makes you
Everybody has like a thing that they're you know, a
material thing that they're passionate about, Like, hey, man, I
have sneakers or sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Or little sleepy spajamas, right.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Collect the bobbleheads. If it's not bothering anybody, beat it,
that's my thing. I think you're allowed to buy those
things without anyone haggling or hassling or haffing you do.
You have a buddy that has too many sneakers where
he has like a room in his place where it's
just like, dude, enough's enough. I mean, if you're drowning

(38:17):
in boxes of sneakers, then yeah, you probably have too many.
But I think if it's if it's your thing, then
no one should tell you what's too much. That's what
makes you happy.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
You like it.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
What have bread that said to you, Danny enough raider stuff?
Oh my goodness, she would never say that. We just
got CoA his first Raider jersey. It's a Max Crosby,
I have to respectfully say you need to back. Oh
but I say that respectfully, So think about that or
catch our Patreon. We discussed it Covino and Rich. Everything

(38:50):
at Covino and Rich. Now real quick, I have a
question for you Rich. Yep, you ever sleep somewhere else?
I don't mean with someone else, no, meaning somewhere else
because your accommodations were so bad. There's a story that
I just can't even believe because I keep seeing this,
this viral image and I'm.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Like, who's this hobo?

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Who is his hobo with the wait that's a gold
medal winner, I mean the ab guy Olympic gold No,
not that guy, Olympic gold medalist Tom Well.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
He's from Italy, so he's.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Italian Tom Chickoni secone, he's Italian. Thomas Chickon was seen
sleeping next to a park bench last night. So they're like, hey,
aren't you the ripped ab guy who won the gold
for Italy?

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Why are you sleeping in the streets like a hobo?

Speaker 2 (39:42):
And he says, there's no there's no air conditioning in
the village, it's hot, the food is bad. Many athletes
move for this reason. He was one guy claiming there
were worms in the food. It's yeah, it's not an
alibi ron excuse. It's the reality of what perhaps not
everybody knows. I can't believe that this is the guy

(40:03):
who representatively in one gold and he's sleeping on on
the grass in front of a park bench. I'm serious,
like a homeless person, not exaggerating.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
So I ask you this. Have you ever had to say,
you know what? This is so bad.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
I'm going to my car because I'm sleeping in the car.
I'm sleeping on the counter because this is so terrible. Honestly,
a few things immediately came to mind. One of my
buddies inviting me. He's like, dude, come up here. You
know I you know, it was in college. He worked
at a camp and he's like, come up here, like
hang out for the weekend. Well, you know, we'll drink

(40:36):
and have fun and we'll do you know. I got
up there and he's like, yeah, Like instead of the cabin,
I set you up with a tent.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
And YO.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
To know me, I'm not a camper, bro.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
He's a glamper. I'll glamp with my wife, glamour camping.
I'm not the type of guy that's layne in a
sleeping bag in the dirt. That's just not my style.
I don't need to stay at a five star hotel,
but I'm not a camping so I tried to set
this tent up and I was like f it, and
I just slept in my car. And I remember being
like and I woke up to like, you know, kids
at this camp that he was teaching, like running around

(41:11):
my car like I slept in my car. And then
another time, my wife and I rented an Airbnb while
our house was being renovated, so we were coming back
and forth to La. The airbnb smelt so much like
dirty pets, like someone's like gross. But you can't report
smells to the Airbnb, like you can't take a picture
of like it smells. Man, I said, I ate the

(41:34):
money and got a hotel that night. I'm like, I
can't even say it's gross goodness, So I get it.
Accommodations could make you go nuts. So I feel this
Italian guy, I've had bad vibe. Someone was murdered here
and I've left in the middle of the night at
an airbnb. But if you want to share your stories,
hit us at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio
and look up this picture.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
It's ridiculous. We'll see you, see you, and the promise
let's go
