with buying tickets for your wife or girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
We'll explain lots of fun.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
If you're watching us on our youtub tuope feed Cavino,
can you do your best Fernando Cruise face when he
struck out whoever it was on the nets to get
out of Remember he was on the injured list for

(01:18):
a minute and wanted to come back and do his thing.
He said he felt like a lion in prison. I
believe was the quote. He felt like a lion in prison,
not being able to contribute to the Yankees. He gets
out there and just had so much emotion that if
you just saw the clip, it looks like he was frustrated.
We're angry. He was just fired up in that moment.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
But the way he looks is how you feel when
you have a teenage daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
That's what I posted on my ig at.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Steve Cavino, Because they frustrate you, and they get you
so fired up and angry sometimes that it makes you
feel the way he looks. But he just he's just
in the zone on the mound. So anyway, is it true?
I once were that when you have little kids. I
have an eight year old and a five year old.
Danny g you got a two year old little boy,
but you also have like teenage and twenty some year

(02:08):
old step kids and stuff. Seven of them, twenty five
of them. You had seventeen of them. He's a I
was gonna call by Field, what's it? What's the go
to NFL player with the most kids. Now, is it
still Kermarty?

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, Philip Rivers is in the conversation still even though
he's retired. Oh, I was going to say Tyreek Hill
is the latest. Yeh, yeah, I mean, not to be specific,
but he had more kids than touchdowns last season.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I was thinking more I had more kids than doesn't
Russell Wilson had bathrooms. It doesn't count. If it's with
the same woman like Philip Rivers, right, that doesn't count.
It's got to be like scandalous track hoes around kids.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
What do you mean but not co four said kids?
You say baby mamas. Well, I think there's a big differ.
Say the most baby mamas. You said, who had the
most kids? Yeah, if please, I think there's a big difference.
But my point is, give Anthony Edward some time to

(03:04):
wait five years.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
We'll say. My thought is I have little kids, so
my wife is you know, the total mom. That's like,
I want them to live next door when they're grown up.
I don't want them to go far. I don't And
someone once told me your teenagers are a pain in
the ass. To take that thought away from you, so
that when they go to college and leave the nest.

(03:26):
You're okay with it because by them being a pain
in the ass, it just sort of makes it feel okay. Yeah, yeah, no,
I agree, But you still want to keep in touch
and welcome them back home if they ever need it.
I always try to paint the picture of this is
always your home, but get out of here.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But this is always your home.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
But scram But.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
So I'm in the state. You know what stage I'm in.
I'm excited as more than you can think. Not about
the Mets beating up on the Phillies again last night,
not about our bet, not about baseball getting down to
the y eight days till football. I'm excited about a
ponyball Little League draft tonight.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Tell us about it.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I printed out. Tell me about Danny. Danny g must
think I'm a luticu. I go, Danny, what do you mean, dude?
You sound like you're shot out of a cannon. Everyone
thinks you're a lunatic. Everyone listening, everyone in the studio,
everybody know. Would you believe my Danny? Would you believe
my five year old son. He's been in school a
week and a half. They had to move his chair
twice because he talks too much in class?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Can I answer that question?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yes, I believe it because his dad is a nimrod
that never shuts up. They said, he finishes talk too much.
You never shut up, You talk too much, run DMC stuff.
They said, Oh boy, you never shut up, he said.
They said, he finishes his work early, he's a good
little student, and then he paces around the classroom. I
can't believe it. His dad never shuts up. He's a

(04:51):
chip off the old blockhead. So I'm excited tonight. I
got my uh my little league. It's a bitch pony
ball the draft, and I'm like, Danny, can you print
out my scouting reports?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I can't wait for this.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
So hey, it's a great time of the year for sports,
fall ball for kids, NFL, MLB. But I think the
story of the day that caught my attention because it's
funny as hell. We haven't talked about Bill Belichick and
Jordan Hudson in a minute.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Huh yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I And by the way, I think they love being
in the news and that's why they pull antics like
this because it grabs headlines, it gets attention. She likes
she's a young woman. You don't think she likes the attention.
That's the world they live in. I think every girl
lives for the gram, wants to go viral on TikTok,
every young person that is, yeah, you know, that's the

(05:38):
life they live. The more viral, the better. That's how
you stay in the news by making headlines like this.
And today's headline is they trademarked the term or they're trying.
They filed to trademark. They filed to trademark the term
gold digger. I mean you could try. Lebron tried to
trademark Taco Tuesday. That did not work. But Jordan Hudson

(06:00):
and Bill Belichick, you painted a picture that I sort
of agree with. You try to satisfy your partner in
every way.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Mmm.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Hey, that's right.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
You try to.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
You try to accommodate what they want. And you can
imagine she's a young twenty something who's into the social
media pr type of world, and she's hot and attractive.
What young, hot, attractive girl her age doesn't like that
sort of attention?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Can you break?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
You don't think part of it's like but Billy like
it would be fun, Like don't you like being on TMC?
And he's like, God, let's just throw everybody. I'm telling you,
it's the way to do it. It's how the world works.
Just shut your old mouth up and let me handle it.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I guess, make sure you happy. Yeah, why don't you
zip it?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Gramps undressed? I mean, okay, okay, Bill.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Just follow my lead.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think Bill Belichick's a hell of a cooler than
we give him credit for. I think I think he
puts this facade up that he's a grumpy old guy.
But Belichick's way cooler. And I think we've all done
it where you saw Patrick.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Holmes do this on Quarterback.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
If you think back to season one of Quarterback on Netflix,
remember he was at a party at his house and
you could tell that he was just aggravated to Brittany,
his wife wanted to take a picture in front of
every Instagram opportunity with balloons and decorations. And after a
while he's like, all that's enough picture to do it
for the Graham Man, that's the world we live here.
After a while, he was just fed up. I mean,
you should see my life, dude. I can't even bite

(07:23):
into my meal without pictures being taken first. That's how
it is. That's just how it is. My girlfriend's in
her early thirties, so she sort of lives that life.
And you know, if we get a dessert, my first
instinct is to stick my face in it, and she's like, nah,
I gotta take a picture first. Yeah, she has to
do it for the gram. You don't think that young

(07:44):
Jordan whatever her name is. What's her last name again, Hudson,
Jordan Hudson isn't doing the same. Absolutely, that's her life.
What's funny is Covino had a picture of him, like
on the beach with a beautiful sunset in the background,
and I go, oh, yeah, this picture you took. He goes,
do you think that was from me? I was the
test subject to see if the lighting was good, And
then I had to take twenty five pictures of my girlfriend.

(08:04):
True stories, Like there's one picture of me because she
just wanted to test the light. San there, Yeah, that's good.
I say, right there, Okay, all right, now get out
of here. Well, I pose. So here's the thing. If
the world, here's my thought on Jordan Hudson Bill Belichick
Instagram husband, If the world is going to call her

(08:25):
a gold digger, if the sentiment is I ain't saying
she's a gold digger. It's the sentiment is that she's
just hanging with a bill because he's you know, famous
and rich and old. Then you're not going to change
the opinion of knuckleheads around the world, So why not
just lean into it? And sometimes leaning into it is

(08:46):
your best bet. Then you're then you short of owned
the narrative. It's like the Big Gump, Get over it's
you know, the story was cal Rowley hated that nickname
big Dumper. That's stupid.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I hate it.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Don't call me that. Why Because I got a fat ass.
I don't like home on God, my mom doesn't like it,
my family doesn't like it. No one likes it. I
don't want to be the big Dumper. And of course
the more he denied it, the more people leaned into it.
And then eventually he's like, you know what, screw it.
Then if you can't beat him, join him. I'm leaning

(09:16):
into it, and I'm a big dumper it. If you
lean into it, you then create and control the whole
narrative exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Hey, I'm the big dumper. I have over fifty home runs.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm the most home run hitting his single season catcher
of all time. You know me the big dumper. If
you're gonna call Jordan Hudson a gold digger, then you
know what she's gonna say. All right, cool with the intention.
By the way of making a jewelry line, a inexpensive
jewelry line is a pretty cool, easy way for young

(09:48):
women to make a little extra ig cash. You'll be
rocking some bracele and necklace on Instagram to be like,
if you want to buy it, it's here, right billy,
and there's a link, and it's gold digger jewelry. It's
all lean.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Into the narrative. I give her credit, is my point.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I heard a similar story recently about Gronk. Gronk was
being interviewed and I forget who it was, but hey,
props to whoever asked. They're like, did you like the
nickname Gronk? He's like, no, I hated it. He goes.
My whole life, no one called me Gronk. He's like,
no one my entire life called me gronk until I
got into the NFL. They started calling me Gronk. He goes.

(10:25):
One of his brothers was Gronk. He was never Gronk,
and then he leaned into it. Owned it to control
of the narrative, like you said. But I'm so glad
you brought up Gronk a because I love Gronk.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Great dude, I love Gronk.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I love Gronk.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Broder that Gronk love you too.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
So Grenk's a great example because not only the nickname,
he leans into the if the world's gonna say he's
a bonehead like frat boy dope, yet he is clearly
being like, all right, if that's what you guys think
of me, then I'm gonna do a grunk beach and
I'm gonna do grunky. Hey, big dopey football player here.

(11:07):
We just need you to be a big dope in
this tide Pods commercial. You okay with that? You got it,
bro tide Pods. Yeah, whatever you want. Yeah, I'm the
big dope, all right, pay me now. So yeah, Rich
is right. He's embraced it, he leans into it. Doesn't matter,
he's still getting paid, and everybody loves him for it.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
We love him.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
We're not laughing at him, we're laughing with him. He
knows the deal. So what do you think about this trademark?
And it's not the first thing they've trademarked. They've trademarked Chapel,
Bill and illustrator, and you know, it makes me think
of another story. Rich. They've trademarked a bunch of things,
by the way, So she's not just in it for

(11:45):
the support of Bill here, this is an opportunity.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Oh, Billy Rich always tells a.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Story about how he had a pal and his pal
was the big like known for being the big fat
party guy that ate a out of Buffalo But instead
of just like being the fat guy that ate a
lot of Buffalo wings, it became his identity. He just
leaned into it. Yeah, let's just uh, we'll call him Brian. Yeah,

(12:11):
and he made his whole persona. He's like, I'm I'm
Hawaiian Brian, and I am fat and ate and that's
what everyone calls him. And it's permanent. Like that's because
he's like, well, you know, if I always hear a
Hawaiian shirt, everyone calls out my shirts and like that's
my whole gimmick. Like, wayan, Bryan, right, are you Hawaiian? No,

(12:33):
not even Hawaiian, that's the point. So so he leaned
into it and it's his identity and that's what we're
getting here with Jordan Jorddn Hudson the gold digger or
is she or is it just a partnership where they're
both getting what they want from this situation. You know what,
I don't deny that she loves Bill Belichick. I think

(12:56):
I think she does can I think it's just an interesting,
really relationship. I give you proof of how it works
when you lean into it instead of resisting it. Well,
when you resist it, it's harder to win because people
know your buttons and then they lean into it. It'll
agg When you lean into it, it takes away from manly. Yeah,
it'll aggravate them, but also it makes them look like,

(13:18):
oh man, you can't take a joke with a stick
in the mud. The best example of this for us
personally is Mike, who runs this place, who exactly when
we started working here, we just got the sense that
Mike like had a lot of pull. And you guys
love to immediately point out not as much pull as
shit think you guys are misunderstanding.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
You guys were the new guys here at the time, right,
and it irritated Dan Byer so much, especially Dan Bier.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
All of you guys.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
But to me, I worked here. Mike's a great guy,
and I was like, man, I feel like that. In
my mind, he was our point person. In my mind,
Mike was like a top executive at iHeart. And you
guys like, no, it's not the case. But the whole
joke of like, yeah, Mike runs his place has become
like a five year running joke on our show. Now,
who imagine if he didn't play along, how lame that

(14:09):
would be.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'm offended. That'd be so weird.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
In fact, later today you could win a prize on
our show, don't you know? Take it personal by playing
Mike's words of wisdom. You know, the guy that runs
his place. So he plays along, but he still thinks
he runs his place.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I mean he does. That's a great dynamic.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
I don't think he does. I treat him like he does,
so I'm not messing with Mike. So it's a lesson learned, really,
and it's stating the obvious. When you lean into it,
no one else can quite as hard as you. It
takes away the power from the people, and you take
control of the narrative. Like Rich said, if there's a
nickname or something that's just rubbing you the wrong way.

(14:48):
If you take ownership of that, people back off on it.
And that's what's happening here with Jordan Hudson. Did you figure,
all right, I'm a gold digger in that trade market?

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Did you guys hear or see that narrative? Really we
heard at all about the age gap? Obviously that's what
you guys mostly talked about last year.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
But isn't that implied?

Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, if she's a young woman dating one hundred and
five year old, but she football when.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
She had things going for herself though, ain't no million dollars.
I'm that wasn't the word you guys ever threw out there.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yea, it really wasn't. It was more than any But
I think it goes along with the with the yeah,
like we're said insinuation.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
That it's quite word.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
It's it's insinuated because I think of another word the
same way, like, Yeah, Anna Nicole Smith was a famous
playboy model.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
We all knew her.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I mean, do we think she loved that ninety year
old like the guy came out.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Of a cryptom?

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Belichick is really offended you compared him to that corpse.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I think she did like and love that guy. I
live in Grandpa like, hey, old guy, you're really sweet.
Here's a butterscotch. That's that type of friendship. I think
she did, so that's the butter scotch. It's clearly an
understanding too that they're running a business. She probably handed
him like a fixed sex doll and he thought it
was her. Bill was ninety seventeen years old. What do

(16:05):
you think about us trademarking chapel Bill, whatever you want
sounds good. Probably she probably handed him here.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, yeah, trademark.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
All right, all right, well, hey, we got a lot
to get to. Props to you, Jordan Hudson and Bill Belichick.
We're actually giving you credit. You're owning it. Get that,
get that trademark, make that money, have some fun with it,
own it, own your own narrative. A lot of people
talk about our show like those two dopes. Yeah, we'll
be the best two dopes all day. Will be the

(16:37):
dopiest show taken over, you know what I mean. El,
we're to two dopes. Okay, let's be the two dopes,
and let's be the best dopes we could be. Lean
into it perfect because snap into it perfect because Danny
brought us dunce hats that We're gonna we're gonna wear
from lean in to it. Hey, coming up, there's a
lot of fun we're gonna get to. We are gonna
give away prizes midweek majors on the way. There's a

(16:58):
story that I want to get to next. More of
a more of a what would you do? College football? Though,
Week one they're saying could arguably be the greatest Week
one ever. You got three top ten matchups. Texas at
Ohio State, LSU, Clemson. Don't you watch Ohio State just
for the marching band for the Grand Marshall and that's

(17:19):
you know who does that backwards happening dotting the Yeah,
he dots the I Rich watches just for that pretty
impressive Notre Dame Miami. Now you might say, who cares
about Cincinnati. That's Travis Kelsey's alba mater. They're playing at
Arrowhead against Nebraska, Georgia Tech against Colorado and coach Prime
without Shador for the first time, you know, Alabama and

(17:41):
Florida State, cal Oregon State, and then, speaking of Bill Belichick,
to tie it all together, Monday night, Bill Belichick MIxS
his UNC debut at TCU Monday Fun Day trademarket more
get it going. So give me a great weekend of
college foodball. So can't wait for that? Yeah, please do?

Speaker 6 (18:05):
I was Sam, it is going to be a great
weekend of college football. I'm a little worried though, because
if you have YouTube TV, there's a standoff right now
between Fox and all of its properties and YouTube TV.
And I know that the Iowa Hawkeyes are hosting the
Albany Great Danes, and that's on FS one. There's Albany Albany,
Albany Albany. Is it Albany Albany Albany?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
But then again, I was at the school the other
day and I said Oregon, and so it's like Oregon.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
What the hell is that with OREGONI But anyway, so
FS one, Big ten network, Fox, I believe these are
all in jeopardy if they don't get this, uh, this
conflict resolved here before the weekend.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
They always wait till the eleventh oh they always.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
And then they use customers and I don't even know
if thats I just know that Gorilla Monsoon used to
say that on wrestling, don't wait till the eleventh hour.
They push it to the eleventh hour so that they
can get customers to like badger the other side be like, hey,
give us our whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh yeah, didn't they already promise refunds though, if I
don't know, it doesn't have I saw some sort of
announcement about that. But yeah in Jeopardy you said it.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Buster.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Now I want some. You might have to go to
the game. I have to buy tickets, Transition Jones. We're
talking about buying tickets.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Well, I got a story I want to share with
you guys.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Let's here.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
It much like Bill Belichick. We're the same guy. You know,
We're in the same sort of situation. My girlfriend only
with me because of you know, my money and everything,
my sweet Fox Sports radio contract. But that's right, I'm
her sugar day. I actually i'm her Stevia Daddy. I
buy her coach bags, not Louis Vaton bags.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bust in here again.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
I wait pause. Sam has an update.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Update. So this is according to uh.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
This is from CNBC from a couple hours ago. Google
said Wednesday that it reached a short term extension with
Fox su preventage channels from going dark on its YouTube
TV streaming service. But that will expire at someone But
so it looks like we're in the clear here for
this weekend, so I just want to update people.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
There was an update there.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Thank you, Sam.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
That's very important.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I just college football fans. Looks like a good one.
But I just want Sam to repeat the following. Covino
on Rich, Fox Sports Radio Nation.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Coven on Rich, Fox Sports Radio Nation.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm sorry, I just wasted your time. I'm sorry I
was wasted your time. That happens won't happen again. Thank you, Sam.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Thank you A little behind on my infro.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
I love it, but there was a controversy going on.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
I saw that. Okay, I called it week zero. That
was the last weekend. I'm relieved to read that.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
You know what, It's great. College football fans are happy
to hear your your updates, Sam. But let's talk tickets
real quick and they will get to Elijah's update. There's
a there's a fuck if you don't happen. I thought
it was worthy, worthy, like Xavier, like James, it's worthy
for your feedback here on Fox Sports Radio. Well, I'm
glad you deem it worthy. Let me explain my situation.

(20:48):
I have a younger girlfriend that's necessary to the story
because well you'll see you take it her to prompt
no but close. She's a big Jonas Brothers fan, So
she loves the Joe Bros. And when it comes to music,
I mean, I built my life around music. It's how
I got into radio. She's not really all that into music,

(21:10):
So that's really like her thing that Joe Bros. She
likes pit Bull too, but who cares, right, So Joe Bros.
I saw the other day that the Jonas Brothers, who
to me are pit Bull's great, don't brush past that.
I like, she really doesn't love a whole lot of music. Like,
so when I hear about the Joe Bros. I'm like, oh, wow,
that's something she's into. Fun fact, I found this so admirable.

(21:33):
We interviewed pit Bull when we were down to a
super Bowl in Miami, Dolly. He sat down with Kavino
on Ritch and I remember him telling me that if
you ever go see a pit Bull show, he has
to approve every ass shaking model that goes on stage.
It's not like a casting director or some person. He
personally needs to take a tough job. If there's a

(21:55):
girl shaking, should investigate this for dirty jobs. If there's
a girl shaking her butt at a pit Bull show.
Just know that he personally hand picks the ass shakers,
and I thought that was handpicked and intended admiral. Good
for him. He does a great job. Yeah, Dolly, I
call him Pitt Bulge. If you saw the pants he
was wearing when we met him, you would know what.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
In Miami white tight pants.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Anyway, my point was when it comes to music, she
really doesn't have that many acts that I associate her
with that she's really into. So I saw in my
algorithm that the Job Bros. Who I think of is
like a Mickey Mouse sort of like little kid band basically.
But I know they're all grown up. We've interviewed him.
I know they're grown ups now, but not my thing,

(22:38):
right my dad purity rings like twenty years ago. They're
all like either married or like playing irrational. You think
dudes listening to Fox Sports Radio or like, yeah, man,
Joe Bros. Rock On, It's not it's a different generation.
You might be the first person that ever uttered that phrase,
by the way, that Joe Bros. Rock On, Right, So
she's in her early thirties, so she grew up loving them.
I saw that they're playing September six at the into

(23:01):
It Dome. Like that's a pretty cool concert venue. Wouldn't
it be nice of me if I got tickets for
her to go to the show.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
So I brought it up to rich and I.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Said, I think I'm gonna try to reach out and
see if I can get some tickets. I'm sure sold out.
I'm gonna try to figure something out. Maybe I get
some tickets, but not for me and her to go
for her and her friend. And Richard's like, why why
don't you go? I'm like, well, I mean I would go,
but I don't. I don't want it. I was a
waste of a ticket. And it made me think of like,
what would you do when you buy these tickets? Is
it for them to use or is it for us?

(23:31):
For you and your wifey, you and your girlfriend? Because
I think when women buy you tickets as a gesture
of kindness, I got you tickets to the game, it's
rarely for you and your bro. It's it's most of
the time for you and her to go and have
a good time. So you're saying, but in this case,
I'm like, I feel like I'm buying them for her,
and I want no part of it. Really, I'm not

(23:51):
saying I won't go. I'm not saying I'm the worst
guy ever and I'm too cool for that, but I
really don't want to go. I think you'd have a
better time than your thought. But that's irrelevant at.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
All of that.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
All right, Let's say you're let's say you flip it right,
and your wife or girlfriend bought you tickets to a
Cowboys playoff game I hold only be more realistic to
a Raven's playoff game, Okay, And she's like, Babe, Ravens bills, like,
you know, divisional weekend, I got tickets. Are you assuming

(24:25):
she's like, I got two tickets for you and your
buddy Hank, Or are you assuming she's saying you and
I are guy, I'm thinking like you and Hank are going,
especially if it's like especially if it's something like wrestling too.
And I'm not saying women don't like football. I'm not
saying women don't like wrestling. But if she's like, I
got wrestle Mania tickets, don't you assume that it's for

(24:45):
you and a friend or you and your brother? Are
you and your buddy or are you in a coworker
or a colleague. Huh is it for her and for you?
So if I get her these tickets, am I expected
to go to this Jonah's brother's concert? Or is this like, Hey,
this is for you and one of your girlfriends to
have a good time.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Could you know?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I don't give a Diddley squad about those guys?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Can my brother?

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Can?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I add a layer that I think is even makes
it even more interesting. It's like ticket giving etiquette, like
how does this work? And would you go to this show?
And whatever? Rich is about to ask. So I'm just
gonna add one layer because I think you could even
add another layer. All right, you're right, hey, babe, I'm
thinking another.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Layer of cake by the Ocean. Please go go for.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
If they play their solo stuff you like Nick Jonas, levels, levels, levels,
there's a good one. It's not me saying that they suck.
I'm saying I'm.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Not into it.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
You'd go there, you'd have a good time, But I
get into it, pun indent you'd be into it. Again,
I'm trying to think, like the least likely show you'd
want to see, right, It's like, you know, I get it,
you don't want to go see the pussycat dolls with
your girlfriend or she doesn't want to go to uh
WrestleMania with you? Under stay here's the next layer. So
answer that question. Eight seven, seven, nine nine one fox.

(25:56):
If you get the tickets, is it? Hey, honey, I
got tickets for you and one of your girlfriends to
go see you know, the Era's Tour, you know when
Taylor was having a show. What if you have kids
that are mildly interested. I'm at the point now where
if you were to be like rich, I got Mets
playoff tickets or game tickets? Oh man, is my instinct

(26:17):
like go with my buddy or bring my son. At
this Dame of the game, you're full on in dad mode,
dad life. You're trying to give them memories and experiences.
You're trying to build moments. I think you take your kid,
Danny g at what age? Your son's still too young,
but at what age?

Speaker 2 (26:36):
At what age?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Game does CoA? Who Danny g son is two? He's
not there yet, but at what age he's as big
as a ten year old? At what age? Have you
got two Dodger tickets? Do you say no, my son,
not my buddy. It's a tricky one. I went to
the National League Championship Series last year Mets Dodgers and
watch my Mets lose because I'm the worst luck in

(26:58):
the world. In front of me was a couple with
an infant and like a three year old, And the
whole time, my buddy is and I are like two
wasted probably like five hundred dollars tickets. And you said
about two wasted tickets right me in the seat at
the into It Dome watching the Jonahs brothers is a
wasted ticket.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
That is a wasted ticket.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I'd rather be on my ass scratching my thighs at
home alone, chilling out while she's having a good time.
I'm a sucker for you, you know, sing it along.
So what's the etiquette here?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, the rich.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
There's a reason we haven't taken Coha to his first
Dodgers game yet. He's not ready. He won't sit still
in a seat or the island. We don't want to
torment the fans sitting around us.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And better yet, you know, if you flip the script here,
you know, for all I know, she'd probably have more
fun with one of her girlfriends, right, and that's what
she would want to do anywhere that's something to keep
in mind too. You you sort of touched on this before.
If your wife or girlfriend buys you something, buys you
tickets and you want to take your bro because that's
what you and your bro bond over.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
How do you break that to her?

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Because she's like, yeah, I got you these and uh,
we're gonna have a great time. Like, you don't even
like this, but me and my buddy do? I got
two Dodgers Padres tickets? Yeah? Oh, I got John's gonna
love it.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I mean me and you paper gonna lie?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeh. She bothers you about your love of the Dodgers
all the time. When's the game over? And now she
wants to go to the game with you? I want
to go with my buddy. How do you break that news?
So your thoughts, your feedback at Covin and Rich and
of course eight seven seven is it implied rich, whoever
buys them like you're the plus one? Is that implied automatically?

(28:37):
Because I don't even want to be associated with it.
I'm just trying to do something nice and get the tickets.
You don't want to be dragged into the show. Do
you want to bond? I feel like every bond thing's great,
but not at the expense of my free time, you
know what I mean? Like that sounds like you're a
selfish ass. No, because you're free fand a ticket. What
don't you get about See, I'm speaking to the wrong
guy because Rich wants to leap into that opportunity because

(28:59):
he likes the Jonas brothers.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Man, I'm not saying they're not. It's not my thing.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
You know what, I don't take I didn't take her
to go see a system of a down in Corn
with me. That's a great show too, Yeah, but I'm
not expecting her to do that. Right, be a wasted ticket, right,
you know what? Think about it as old people would say,
put that in your piping smoke It Time for our
tire Raq play of the day. The Mets game was

(29:28):
as close as our bet. Take a listen. The two
amo swinging a line in the left center base had
put it in the books.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
The Mets have made it too straight over the fillies
Harte soores from third, the Mets poured out of the
dugout Nemo's waiting farm. Between first and second hair comes
the shower of water and sunflower seeds.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
The legendary call from How He Rose. In fact, every
time the Mets win, my Mets chat does a meme
of how He Rose pumping his fist and it says,
put it in the books. That is your tire ract.
Play of the day, Nimo comes up big and Mets
own Philly. They just don't own anyone else. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox is the Ticket Dilemma Ticket etiquette, Nicole,

(30:11):
thanks for calling the show. If I buy my girlfriend
Jonas Brother tickets, do I gotta go with her?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
How does that whole thing work?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
What do you think? And you said, flip it. If
it's if she buys you game tickets or wrestling or something,
I gotta take her.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
What's uping to call?

Speaker 8 (30:24):
No, absolutely not. So I've got a good example of this,
though I do think it should be clear about, like
who the participant should be. Because I got a Taylor
Twists concert tickets in Paris, you know, a couple of
years ago, year and a half ago, and I told
my husband, I said, hey, babe, we're going to Paris.
I got tickets to see Taylor Swipts. So we got
to go to Paris.

Speaker 9 (30:44):
And I guess I wasn't.

Speaker 8 (30:45):
Clear because he doesn't even care for Taylor.

Speaker 10 (30:47):
Swift at all.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
And so when we go to plan the trip, he's like,
wait a minute, you got those tickets for you and
your girlfriend and me and her husband just got to
go with you?

Speaker 9 (30:56):
Like what, we.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
Don't get to go to the show?

Speaker 9 (30:58):
I was like, absolutely not.

Speaker 11 (31:00):
You don't want to go to that show.

Speaker 8 (31:02):
So I think you got to be clear about it.
But honestly, if I were to say, hey, babe, I
got some Jonas Brothers tickets, he'd be like, you're definitely
not taking me correct.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
See.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
I love this story, but I'll tell you this about
being clear. I have a clear answer, and I'm going
to tell you why. I have an example of what
exactly to do. But let's go back to the call.
I can I give one caveat I'm a I'm a
dad of little kids. Any chance we have to go
out end the dad of a little dinosaurs? I feel
like if there's an opportunity for a night out, sometimes

(31:34):
you do things you don't want to do, Like if
you know, if my wife's like, babe, I got tickets
for something, just hanging out together without the kids seems
off awesome. Sometimes gill In Virginia'll gil.

Speaker 12 (31:45):
Hey, fellows, what's up? I got two quick takes on
a question.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeap.

Speaker 12 (31:50):
I think Nicole nailed it on the head. You got
to be very specific. In a marriage, it's easier to
buy two tickets and say, hey, here's two tickets to
whoever you and your girl go have fun because you
guys know each other. It's a lot easier. But if
you're dating and you buy a ticket or two tickets
to go see the Jonas Prosers, I would assume she's
gonna think it's for you too, So take that into

(32:12):
account unless she says, bro, oh cool, Gil.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
You're you're a genius, and he's right, it's it's interesting, Gil,
I do want to hear your question.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
But think about it.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
If you're married, some of that etiquette goes away because
you're a team, you love each other, you have longevity.
If you're dating someone new, they might think you're sort
of a douche. If you're like, yeah, I got your tickets,
but I'm not going, she may be like, you don't
want to hang with me?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Still there?

Speaker 1 (32:34):
What's the question?

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Nice thing? What's up? Gil?

Speaker 11 (32:36):
Hey?

Speaker 12 (32:36):
When are you guys gonna come out to Virginia?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
It's a good question.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
But you know this weekend, let's see it happened. Kavino's
gonna come watch at UNC game with you Monday night.
You hit it, Bill Belichick. No, I'd love you though, man. Yeah,
hopefully soon, Kavin know what, just saying, we should do
a road trip for the show. Let's do it soon,
Tony and Minnesota. We'll take one more for now, Tony,
make it snappy. What's up?

Speaker 13 (32:53):
Hey, guys? Love the show? No, thank you, I just
wanna Yeah, I just want to let you know. I
was in the same situation. Just recently brought tickets gift
for my long term girlfriend. Told her she could take
anyone she would like. I couldn't get out of it.
She was adamant she had to take me. So you
need to just be extra careful to make sure that
your girl is the one that's going to just drag,
even if you're trying to get.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
It as a gift.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
And you know what, Tony, I think if you're the
type of guy that you don't get to spend a
lot of time together, maybe you work a lot on
the road, do you travel a lot, she might think,
Oh my god, it's a date night out be careful
of that. Well, I'm gonna give you the answer the
conclusion next. And of course we got midweek major and
we're giving away prizes right here on Covino and Rich.

(33:34):
Look courtside, look right by the dugouts, look at the
fifty yard line. Of every big game or event, there's
a lot of apathetic people along for the ride.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, and they're wasted tickets.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
And you could say that, like you go to the
Super Bowl, which I've been lucky enough to go to,
right you look around and there's a lot of people
that are there just because they're they're a wife or
a husband of someone that came along a corporate sponsor
that doesn't care, and it's agger meaning to real fans.
So I get what you're saying. You'd be taking up
don't take away my final answer. Okay, iways go to
the phone. Let's say hi to Steve and Louisiana. Steve,

(34:11):
Steves chickens.

Speaker 14 (34:14):
What's going on, guys, souh. I just kind of need
you guys opinion on the situation. I have a little
bit of everything going on. So I've been with my
girl five years. We're not married, Jed, I'm proposed soon
anniversary is a fist. She buys me tickets to Baltimore Ravens,
Kansas City. I'm assuming that, you know, I mean, I mean,
I'm thinking that to my gifts.

Speaker 10 (34:35):
I tell my best friend about it. We're punk.

Speaker 9 (34:38):
I tell her, you know, the plans, everything like that.

Speaker 10 (34:41):
She kind of gets upset.

Speaker 9 (34:42):
But on the other side of the point for her,
for my differendiversary, I got her tickets to go see
Chris Brown and I don't want to go. So I
just assomed she was taking a friend, which she is.
I just want to know what the guys.

Speaker 15 (34:55):
Think like and she was upset.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I think you gotta say, hey, I I thought you
bought it for me and my buddy.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
But yeah, of course I'd love to go with you.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
I think you got to go with her in this case,
because she clearly made it obvious that she wanted to
go with you or was hoping you chose her.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
You gotta make sure Chris Brown doesn't pull your girl
up on stage.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, unfortunately in your situation, I think now you gotta
go with her. And by the way, this never gets easy, man.
You know, I co parent and I have a whole
situation going on now. It's sometimes let's say I got
Yankee playoff tickets?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Do I go with my girlfriend? Do I go with
my daughter?

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Right?

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Because then my daughter's like, you're not gonna take me.
It's a whole situation, dude. Remember tickets usually coming with
all die respect to your daughter. Your girlfriend wore like
a Dodger's hat at times, and you, you, when she
went to the World's Series with you, you made it wear
a Yankee hat. But she's not a Yankees fan. Your
daughter was raised a Yankees fan. Yeah, So it's always

(35:51):
it's always a dilemma, and we try to turn dilemmas
into dilemonade. Let's go to the next call, Let's go
to West Virginia.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
What's up, Dave?

Speaker 10 (36:01):
Hey, can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (36:02):
We could hear you, Aladdin? Clear, what's up? Buddy boy?

Speaker 10 (36:04):
Okay? So by Whitefire both from our sixties and our
thirty fifth anniversary was right around a Donnie Osmon concert
in Wheeling at the Capitol Theater that holds about twenty
two hundred people, and so I got her tickets. She
loved Donnie Osman as a teenager. And here was my

(36:24):
dilemma for out of twenty two hundred people. Was me
and maybe ninety nine other guys and a bunch of
sixty year old screaming women at a Donnie Osmon concert.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
To me, you look like a really supportive good guy
to be there.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
To be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Fun fact, do you know the Osmonds have one of
the most famous metal songs that inspired the likes of
Ozzy Osbourne and other metal legends.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
It's called Crazy Horses.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Look it up. It's the Osmond's true story. Can I
tell you, guys a time where I went with my
wife to something and I actually did want to be there,
but people thought I was reluctantly there. I got to
sit in the audience of The Bachelor after the final rows.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
I've seen footage of this cheese ween. You love this.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
I'm the only let me reflect, I was the only
straight dude there and you love every second of it.
But yeah, sometimes I feel like it's the experience for
you and your significant other. But I get it. You
get two ballgame tickets. I get why you wouldn't want
to go with Joe Bro's concert. Let's say to Woody
in Virginia, Hey, Woody, Hey guys, I.

Speaker 11 (37:31):
Got another wrinkle for you. What if you're in a
relationship dating for a while, you guys kind of like
the same things, do the same things, and you get
tickets for something big, like a concert at the Sphere
or a festival or sixtieth anniversary is a grateful dad
or whatever, And between that time and now, you guys
kind of part in separate ways. Who gets them?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
That's a good one. That is a good one. I
think who ever paid for don't go together. I went
on a vacation once with a girl like sort of
after we broke up, because it was like, well, we
paid for it.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
You booked a vacation, booked the vacation.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
And we still went. And what I tell you, it
was miserable. It was sexless, it was fundless, it was
everything less. No fun was had. You look around the resort.
Everyone else was in love, and you're like, I hate you.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
You didn't tell her you needed lots of closure.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I was like, oh my god, I hate you.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Well, that's also the same feeling, the same way you
looked at other couples having fun and loving each other,
and you guys were hating each other. If I went
to this Jonas Brothers concert, I'd be looking at everyone
else having the best time while I wasn't, you know,
And I'm not saying I don't like them and I
can have fun, but I'm not into them.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So what else do we got?

Speaker 1 (38:42):
David will wrap it with you and they'll tell you
why you need to do what I did. I'll explain
what about David.

Speaker 15 (38:49):
Hey, guys, thanks checking the call. I can see both sides.
I don't think you have to go unt necessarily, but
I think there can be unforeseen consequences if you don't
take in point about them. Month ago, I bought my
my wife's tickets to her favorite band. She knows that
I'm not into that band at all, so I buy
her go up here and I say, hey, babe, here's
two Cold Play tickets. Take whoever you'd like. And you

(39:11):
would not believe what I saw on social media the
next morning.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
That's fun. That is really great. I appreciate Wow they
went viral. Wow, so weird. She took her boss. I'm
looking at Jonah's brothers songs and I know that's not
the point, but I don't think it would hurt you
to sif through it. Well, Waffle waffle House, here's how
soccer leave before you let me know these so you've

(39:35):
heard them in the Supermarketer. I don't think I do yet.
Do you know Crazy Horses by the Osmonds? I don't
think you do the same way Assi Osman, Yes, the
same way. I don't know Joe Bros. I don't, but
I respect them. We've interviewed in her club.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Same.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Can you play waffle House by the Jonahs Brothers? I
feel Kavito those that's all? Or play any Jonahs Brothers
for that mat. I'm more of a night hop guy.
Bro Let me finish my story, go on so he
can play Joe Rols with the background. I'll present them.
Thank you for the answers. We all have these dilemmas sometimes.
What my plan is if I'm able to snag two

(40:12):
of them, right, could I go with her?

Speaker 2 (40:14):
I know you want to because you're a goonberger.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
I know he revels at this stuff, but I was
I would say, here you go. I'm willing to go
with you, of course, but take who you want. In fact,
you want to take one of your girlfriends, That's totally
cool with me because she knows I'm not into it
and I want her to have fun. I'm not gonna
be having the same fun her and a girlfriend. Would
I understand that. So my offer is there, but take

(40:39):
who you want, right, make it very clear is what
we established. But here's what I'm telling you. Back in
two thousand and nine, in my previous life, my previous relationship,
my ex bought me two tickets to see the All
Star Game, the final All Star Game at the old
Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Let it be the last one. Let it be know.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
He was the one that brought up his ex wife today,
not man, Yes that's right, nobody, are you following two
thousand and nine. This is before they closed down the stadium,
knocked it down. This was the last All Star game there.
And I was faced with this dilemma of oh my gosh,
she bought me these tickets with my own money probably,
and do I have to now take her? Do I

(41:20):
take my brother? This is my brother. We love the Yankees.
This is the last All Star game at Yankee Stadium.
So I was faced with this dilemma, and I chose
the road less traveled by. And that's made all the
difference because I said, you know what, thanks, I hope
you don't mind, but I'm taking my brother because we
grew up fans together, and looking back, imagine if I

(41:41):
took her.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
What a wasted opportunity, you might still be married.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
She'd know she didn't care about the Yankees, and she's
my axe for a reason.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I took the person that appreciated it, that's who was
an actual fan. Otherwise you wasted the ticket. You know,
you want to take someone that's actually going to care
about the moment. So advice to the real answer. And
Coveno's right. I agree when we agree it's fact, so
it's it's a fact. The answer is simple, don't waste
give the person almost the you know presented as such. Hey, babe,

(42:13):
I was able to get two tickets for the Jonas Brothers. Listen,
I'd love to go with you, but if you think
going with one of your girlfriends would provide more of
a fun time for you, I just want you, babe,
to have a great time, I'll go.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
I'll go with you.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
But if you want to bring Jessica, Sophia or one
of your girls, do that. But hey, I'll go because
I'm always down for a fun time. But that way,
it is in their hands.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
So keep your posted. Thanks for chiming in more feedback
at Covino and Rich And now it's time for Mike's
Wednesday words of wisdom. Who Mike, It's time for the
guy that runs this place. I knew it.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Just for clarification, Guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 16 (43:03):
It's Big Mike's words of Wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax, and let
the train whereck itself?

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Did his phone ring while he was recording.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
He had no time to re recording, couldn't recut. It
was a one time. You're like, God, it's.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Perfect, perfect, God, God, I can't recreate the magic.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
All right now.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
The key to the game is you have to repeat
it verbatim, verbatim for this one back and listen.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
That's in the recording.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Does he even realize what happened? Mike?

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Are you here still?

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Your phone got into words of wisdom?

Speaker 2 (43:48):
It's been corrupted.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Mike can't even run his phone.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
You have to recreate the ring verbato for the prime. Well,
you didn't do one more time?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Real quick?

Speaker 1 (43:57):
We distracted one more time and again, like you said,
calls at eight seven to seven nine nine on Fox.
If you repeat this word for word, you win a
convene on Rich Fox Sports Radio Nerve Football just in
time for the NFL season.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax and let
the train wreck it sell.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
And he's cut off short at the end, like I mean,
his production value is terrible. So anyway, we love Mike.
Now while we get the phone calls going eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, your chance to win, Let's
talk about the man who thinks he's above the law
or is he just above the law? I'm going to
add a name to the list is Steven Sigal rich

(44:41):
Davis who steals napkins and whatever he wants from Chipotle
because no one's going to stop rich Davis, he's above
the law. And of course Tom Brady, who just breaks
the rules and then makes his own Did you just
name your own dream team? Steven Sagall, Tom Brady and me.
That's right, because the report today is Senator Bank. The

(45:02):
NFL is now allowing Tom Brady to take part in
production meetings with coaches and teams this season as pro
the Athletic last year, Tom Brady was banned for the
season from the information gathering sessions as Fox Sports top
broadcast analysts due to his ownership role with the Raiders. So,
in other words, as part owner partial owner of the Raiders,

(45:23):
he can't be sitting in there in production meetings with
other teams and players.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
There's a conflict of enture.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
It makes sense some people think that he shouldn't be
allowed to do both at all, And not only is
he allowed to do both, he's now allowed to sit
in those meetings. So he takes these rules and sort
of stops on him because he's Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
And look, I get it.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
He is Tom Brady and not everybody is what we
can't ask the exceptions, and that's just it when it
comes to that, the first rule made for him. When
it comes to gender, age, sexuality, all these things. In
the workplace, everyone will and deservedly so deserves to be equal.
But that's just not simply true as far as talent goes.

(46:05):
Not everybody felt like there's a big distinction between like
everyone should be treated equally in the workplace. My example
is this not to call out our fellow co workers,
but you know how I was Sam did you recently
have to do one of those? Like, uh, not to
call him out, but get ahead. It sounds juice. Well
you ever do those things here at work, Elijah, You've
done them. I was saying, long crown, like those uh
sexual harassment or procedural things like you know, FCC training,

(46:30):
all these little I think most people that work for
a big company have to fill out going on HR training.
Everyone knows like work day and all those nonsense websites
that the intranets. I recently asked that I won't say
which show, but let's just say one of the shows
where it's like the face of our network. I jokingly said,
does that guy do those things? And he's like, are
you serious? You think that guy? That dude doesn't even

(46:51):
open his email? That guy? You think that guy even
knows that exists. I go, that's what I thought. Our
video guy spot is like, I guarantee they have to.
I'm like, no, they don't, because not everyone is Colin
Cowherd and Dan Patrick. Not everyone is Tom mother f

(47:12):
and Brady. You make that truth like this rob it
and everybody's face. It bothers my biggest gripe. And I'll
tell you what I feel like we're making so many
great cool moves here at Fox Sports Radio, thanks to
Elijah Sager the whole video team. But you go sometimes
you go to a new place and I love working
here and I'm not kissing ass. Sometimes you go to
a place and you'd be like, you know, we should

(47:33):
do you know, I have this cool idea, and you'll
get this response and it's my most hated response, Yeah,
we don't do that here. Well, you know I too, though.
Sometimes you learn in the corporate world, especially, but at
the office wherever you work, the oil patch to the factory,
it's just easier to say no sometimes than actually put

(47:53):
in the work to figure out how I like.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
How you lead with oil patch?

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Are you picturing a bunch of dudes Drillsadians listen, drilling
dudes listening to Steve Cavino, not a driller. Covino's talking
all those guys up in Manitoba, Kennas, I'm talking to
people in Saskatchewan. So my point is Tom Brady is
the exception. I know that people hate to hear.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
That got another sports exam.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
People hate to hear. But guess what if Tom Brady
could be the face of Fox broadcasting and also have
a part ownership role in the Raiders. They're gonna make
exceptions and little carve outs.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I'll give you this.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
People are always gonna say no. And what's great about
the younger generation? Rich I'll give the ween Neal some credit.
They are quick to say, well why not? Well why yeah,
Well because the answer is no, and it's always been no.
Well why the younger generation is.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Great at that.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
And again it's just easier to say no than to
figure out why. But it seems that when Tom Brady
says why not, people like figure it out for him
because there seems to be a conflict of interest here.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
But I have another example. I have one as well.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
So give the two exams that don't get Mike's words
of wisdom winner? All right? There was a lot of
people are like, why does Roger Clemens not travel a team?
Why does he get special privilege? Why could he only
pitch at home? It's like, because he's Roger Clemens and
you're not.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
That's really it.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
That's why exceptions are made for people who've earned it,
I guess, or deserve it. But he got special treatment
because he was the rocket. Remember when he was in
his final years with the Astros, he didn't travel. He
just pitched home games. Yoh, that was the first time
we saw it.

Speaker 16 (49:33):
Man.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
You know you know why because he said, Hey, guys,
I'm Roger Clemens, your future Hall of Famer me this house.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
You're looking at me.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
I don't want to leave.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I don't want it.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
I want to pitch still, but uh but I don't
want to.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
I don't want to do I don't want to travel.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Uh. Yeah, I guess we could do that. I guess
we can make that exception. You're Roger Clemens, Yeah, will
do it.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
My example was when we worked at Serious XM and
you see this at a big networks Fox, Serious XM, ESPN, NBC.
Sometimes it'd be like, yeah, it's a conflict of interest.
You can't do this radio show, this TV show, this podcast.
And I remember I remember saying to someone once because
we were trying to negotiate ESPN and Serious XM at

(50:16):
the same time, and someone's like, yeah, we don't that's
we don't really do that. And I'm like, Kevin Hart's
an employee of like eight companies. They're like yeah, but
they pretty much are like yeah, but you're not Kevin Hart. Right,
So if you're in they'll figure it out. If you're
important enough, they figure it out. And Tom Brady is
important enough. You just have to deal with it, and
if you have a problem with it, become more important.
It's the truth, and that's it. All right, Let's get

(50:38):
a winner from mike'sar is the wisdom? Maybe one day
you could be as important as Mike, who runs his place,
so important that during a recording his phone goes off
and he goes f it. One take.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
He's not busy. What are they going to do about it?

Speaker 1 (50:49):
He's Sinatra?

Speaker 4 (50:51):
One take a right, Mike, Brad, Jerome, Joe lined up.
We're gonna start with Mike and Tennessee. What up mikey?

Speaker 3 (50:58):

Speaker 11 (50:59):
How we're doing?

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Are you ready to do this? You're gonna you're gonna
repeat Mike's words of wisdom?

Speaker 11 (51:03):
Or what I am going to repeat them?

Speaker 2 (51:05):
All right? You gotta let the music simmer here, Okay,
here we go.

Speaker 11 (51:11):
Sometimes you have to sit back, relax, mister word there.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Wow, Hey, you can always play next week.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
All right. Let's move on to Brad in Montana.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Hey, Brad, what's up up? You gotta let it simmer?
Is part of the game.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Here you go.

Speaker 15 (51:32):
Sometimes you just have to sit back, relax and let
the train wrecked itself.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Yes, you got it, Actually you forgot the ring. Guys.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
All right, Hey, where do you go?

Speaker 3 (51:48):

Thanks Brad, hang on the line. I'm gonna get your
mailing address info.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
All right, Yeah, thank you, Bro, appreciate it. Perfect.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
It is now time for something we do every week.
It's called Midweek Major.

Speaker 16 (52:07):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week.
When mid Week Major. I love that we throw sports
and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and

Speaker 17 (52:30):
Now, before I hand things over to Danny Gee, who's
covering this segment for Spot Today, we rolled the two
big red Love dice, which is ironically what I call
my all right in the main studio listen is to
see who gets the first take.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Now, I already rolled in eight just to save time. Rich,
we got a four, and where's the other one? That
would be a six?

Speaker 2 (52:53):
My friends, So let's go first, Winter is Rich?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
All right? So Rich gets the first taken out ladies
and gentlemen.

Speaker 17 (53:01):
The most famous person from rialto California besides, of course
JJ fadd and Ronnie Lott, Jenny jyj.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Hey Buddy, Happy Wednesday, fellas. All right, let's start.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Let's start with the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals. They're known
to be thrifty and hard negotiators, but some are saying
they're taking things too far. The Bengals are reportedly requiring
Ring of Honor members to pay for their own hotel
rooms and flights for the upcoming inductee ceremony. On October
twenty six, former Bengals QB Boomer Sison expressed his frustration,

(53:36):
saying that the team is not providing any compensation for
these expenses, which has drawn criticism from fans and members
of the sports media. A. Sison mentioned that the Bengals
have only sent two comp tickets to the game so far,
while the rest of the costs must be covered by
the attendees.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Midweek or Major Rich This is major. I saw Boomer
talking about this. They do a morning show in New York,
Boomer and g O on w f An and Boomer.
They were Ranton and Raymond about how they keeve him
an email with like, here's a group rate for the hotel,
and he's like group rate, and he's like, am I

(54:13):
a diva? Then everyone agreed, like, no, you're not. You're
Boomer size and one of the only people of that
team's history, and they're not going to give him a
hotel room. That's ridiculous. It is absolutely major. You know Boomer.
You know Boomer because you grew up in New York
and he played with the jetsrim but can you take
it to your team. Let's say they said we're doing
a big Yankees event and they told Bernie Williams or

(54:36):
Derek Jeter or someone that he pay hey, hey for
his own experience. You're a Hilton group rate is Yankees.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
O one er?

Speaker 16 (54:43):
You know?

Speaker 1 (54:43):
So yeah, no way you would expect the Bengals to
flip the costs for this. Absolutely. I don't think he's
a diva at all. I mean, yeah, major story. They
look really bad in this one. They got to make
it right. They gave him fifty dollars perdum.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Big Boy of Outcast has teamed up with Whirlpool to
launch a limited edition washing machine that plays their classic
song So Fresh, So Clean after each cycle. Only five
of these special machines is going to be given away,
and fans can enter a sweepstakes to win by following
Whirlpool USA on Igh. The contest runs until September twenty third,

(55:22):
and winners will be notified through DM Rich, Big Boy Outcast,
Whirlpool Midweek or Major.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
It's it's funny, but it's mid I mean, who wants
some like laundry washing the dishes? All these things are
errands to me that I don't want to do to
begin with. I don't think your little I don't think
some music. I already like this how my washing machine
makes It's like boo boo, it already has its own
little Jim question.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
So clean clean exactly.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
I'm glad you said that it's Major because it's something
that we've been doing for years anyway, right, Ain't nobody
dope as Steve Bomb Just so fresh, so fresh and
so clean.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Click you think the lyricus Steve, It's not Steve.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Oh, go to Steve.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
That's why I'm like major, man of doing this.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
I want to win. I've actually seen him. I seen
the promotions. They're black and sleek. It looks really cool.
I just think it's major because it's like a perfect
match and it's actually happening. It's like when Korn and
Adidas finally put their collaboration out. They've only had this
song for thirty years. Yeah, they collaborated. Everybody loved it.
This song sort of goes hand in hand with your laundry.

(56:25):
It's a cool, dimmicky promo.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I like it. It's fun. Yeah, okay cool.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Becky Lynch is one of WWE's biggest stars, but she's
a heel, and as a heel, she relies on cheap heat,
insulting the audience in a way that's like really specific,
so that they have no choice but to boo her.
On Monday's episode of Raw, she referenced to Ozzy Osbourne's
recent death, which led to a response from his own daughter,
I'm not wrestling in Birmingham, She said. The only good

(56:51):
thing that came out of here died a month ago.
But in fairness to Ozzy, he had the good sense
to move to La a proper city, because if I
lived in Birmingham, I'd die too. You could hear a
gasp from the crowd, and it also caught the attention
of Ozzie's daughter, Kelly Osborne, who criticized Lynch and the
WWE in a post on an IG story. She said,

(57:11):
you are a disrespectful dirt bag. Birmingham would not urinate
on you if you were on fire. Hashtag Birmingham forever.
Shame on WWE for allowing such things to be said
about my dad in his home. Oh Man Rich daughter
of Darkness blasting on the WWE Midweek or major.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
I think this is major, and I want to take
a joke. I'm one that likes to push the envelope,
but this is like, you know, a legend died and
you're insulting his hometowntg click yourself again in the daughter
or any family member's you know shoes, you'd be a
little set of a wrestling promo. Gimmick was taking shots

(57:49):
at your dead pops. Come on. And at the same time,
that's his audience, right, The wrestling audience is very much
a metal audience too, so it's an odd choice.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
I'm gonna a major as well.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
I think Becky Lynch has to make this right, meaning like, look,
I'm a heel and I was doing what a heel
does right, so it kind of worked, right, doesn't it work?

Speaker 10 (58:11):
Though?

Speaker 2 (58:11):
It does work.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
So I think I think there's a way to experience
herself like I'm trying. I guess maybe you went too far,
but I was doing what I thought I was supposed
to do as a heel, but as a person, as
Becky Lynch, the person I loved your dad and I
didn't want to offend you and I'm sorry. So I
think she has a way to make it right. But yeah,
way too soon. You know, no one wants to hear
that her dad just died. Wrestling has been known to

(58:35):
push the envelope. Remember when you were a kid, there
were certain things like is that real or not? Like
there are there are some gimmicks that they have you thinking, like, well,
where's the line between reality and hey, it's entertainment, you
know what, Maybe more think about it.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
I think it was rude, but I get it. I suppose, right, yeah,
all right.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Tops is releasing an exclusive card featuring featuring an unlikely
baseball star, the Confused Squirrel, who ran under the field
during the Yankees game against the Red Sox. The squirrel
briefly stopped play during last Friday's game when it ran
out onto Yankee Stadium during the top of the fourth
inning and approached Yankees pitcher Max Freed on the mound.
Freed said, my first reaction was, don't do anything that

(59:14):
might embarrass you. I thought it was just going to
run around, but it came straight to me and went
in the little hole I created on the mound. The
cameras caught Freed and the squirrel in a stare down.
At one point, I think I just said, okay, buddy,
let's go. Freed said, he just did his thing. It's
definitely strange, but it's all in good fun. Play resumed
when the squirrel made his way to foul territory and

(59:34):
ran through a chain link fence and into the scoreboard area.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Yeah, rally.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
Squirrel status was not met because the Yankees went on
to lose one to nothing, but he does get a
Tops Baseball card, rich midweeker major.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
H this could have been major, but it's mid, So
waste it on or I know you think the squirrel cares.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
I would love a baseball I'll waste it on it
for sure. The Mets would have already had T shirts
made by now.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
Well, let me tell you this. I think it's I
would have loved for the as much as I'm rooting
against the Yankees every day be gus could be known.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
I have our bed.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
I would have loved the Yankees to have the rally squirrel,
just because.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
I know Covino would have hated it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Yeah, but they ended up losing that ang I know,
but I'm saying I almost wish they had the rally
squirrel because Cavino hates gimmicky stuff like that. And you
would have been at odds with yourself. It's a mid story,
even though I know people.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Love it and Danny g you nailed it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
If this happened at City Field, the Mets would have
had T shirts. It would have been a squirrel mascot.
They would have leaned into this in the cheesiest of ways.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
The squirrel would have been invited back to throw out
the first pitch.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
But I watched it live, Yeah, exactly right, we welcome
him the squirrel. I watched it live, and it was
pretty funny. The squirrel ran right up to I forget
who was batting, but it ran up to his foot,
like what was his squirrel up to? And then the
face over Max Freid. It really was kind of funny.
And then they put it in slow motion and they
look at the gap. Look how graceful this thing is.
It was a fun moment, but sort of mid because again,

(01:01:00):
you think the squirrel cares about the card. I want
a stupid card. What makes me say is the biggest
highlight of the week for the Yanks? I say? He
says that you had an exciting weekend watching slow motion
squirrel vane.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
It's the only good thing that happened last week for
the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
All right, thank you, Danny gy, Yeah, Dan g everybody
you know. Let's go to Isaac Loancron. He's got an update.
What's up Illow? Well, thank you, fellows.

Speaker 17 (01:01:20):
The NFL Today's suspended Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashie Rice
six games for violating the Personal Conduct Policy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
Walk by me in the background? Look awkward?

Speaker 16 (01:01:29):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Let him do his upbeat.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
And it's a multi media empire. When you care too
much about your fantasy team, yes, and there's a lot
of people that do. When this is how you know
you care too much about your fantasy football team. There
was a hypothetical presented to the innocent Patrick Patrick. Such

(01:01:52):
a nice boy. His mom makes cookies for everyone. Again,
these are the editors and producers here, at Fox Sports Radio.
It's such a great, great dudes, they're having a funny
ass conversation. I don't know. I don't even want his beautiful,
sweet mother Maureen to hear this. Yeah, Maureen, who makes
cookies for us, Now it's time to change a channel. Actually,
I think you'd be proud of his decision, or at

(01:02:13):
least I am.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
But so take it away.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Apparently Patrick is known to like slightly older women.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
All right, So.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Brandon, I believe, presented the question to Patrick Brandon, who's
football obsessed. By the way, Brandon, who's such a great dude,
one of the really promising young editors here. He's got
great he makes great TikTok videos. But when I say
Brandon's the fantasy football his TikTok videos have hundreds of
thousands of views.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
He's he's legit.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
He We work with some talented young men and I'm
young women. And I love this kid, Brandon because he's
a Niners fan and he makes me think every day
that the Niners are gonna win thirteen games. So, all right,
well present the hypothetical, he said, Patrick, I know you
like older women. So if right now in front of you,
I presented you two scenarios, the hottest milf that you've
ever seen for your favorite player, justin Jefferson on your

(01:03:03):
fantasy team. What would you pick? Hold on, hold On,
it wasn't just the hottest milf you've ever seen, forty
year old, hottest milf you've ever sad, not even that
at all, like that, But to them that's like old.
I guess when you're twenty four. Yeah, I guess that's old, lady.
And Patrick, like a wise man, said yeah, I'm taking
the hot forty year old milk, the hottest forty year
old milf you've ever seen, and Brandy goes, but it's

(01:03:25):
justin Jeffers. He's like, then you're not a real fan.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Then you're not. I'm like, so I had a button too.
I'm like, wait, what do you guys?

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
They're getting all loud because they think Patrick's crazy for
choosing the woman in this scenario, and I'm like, yeah,
I agree with pattis just sitting there nodding his head,
like what are these youngsters chatting? If you're gonna choose
a number one fantasy draft pick over the hottest milf
that ever was in this hypothetical, then I think your
love of football has gone way too far. Your fantasies

(01:03:52):
are off, That's what That's what I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Come to here. I'm keeping it real. Goals wrong. Yes,
so funny, Yeah, but it's a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
But it goes to show you how passionate people are
about their football and fantasy. You know, Hey, my fantasy,
