Did you see recently? I think barstool did.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It where they had like the Hall of Fame of
delivery drivers. I heard dudes that had like twenty thousand
deliveries and they have a perfect score. I saw a
young Jeff Dunham on star Search. I gave them three
and three quarter stars. Yeah, so, I mean, but that
was me personal.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Long time ago. Nicmam. How do you like the star
Search reference? By the way, good one. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Anyway, it's like our overall podcast rating a six out
of a five.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I don't know how we did it, you know, Danny.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's it is funny because there are some people'll be
such a grinch to give somebody a five, Like did
they say something about I mean less than a five? Yeah,
they say something about your mama? Did they not have
the charger of your liking in the uber?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Like? What was going on? Farting? The like you feel
like your life's in danger? I found the stickler areas,
mister Grundy. I give a lot of I give mostly
five stars, but I'm saying if.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, if they put your life in danger, Okay, that's fair.
It's either five or I abstain. Yeah, it's like, I'm
not a tattletale.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I'm not a snitch of it. If I hate you,
I'm not. I'm not even gonna say anything. You don't
have something good to say, don't see it at all.
There you go.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You ever ordered a car though, and you get in
and the inside's dirty, seems kind of sticky, let.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Me tell you, Danny J. And by the way, thank
you cheese steak Stammy. I forgot your name. Sam was right.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Cheese steak Sammy was right in that case, Stanley. And
it happens. You know, I won't leave a rating. It's like,
you know, I don't want to mess with someone's frivelihood.
But then again, if they suck, isn't it your job
to pass along?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There suck?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I was in Jersey. I was in Jersey doing an
event for serious exam. If you remember, I did the
show from your mom's house. I remember my dad was
there too. Guys were lax, and your dad's just like
cuddling with Steve's mom.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, I did the show from your mom's house. Yeah,
did the show from your mom's bedroom.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, so I was in Jersey and you know, Comino
and I've known each other twenty years.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
That's when I did the show from your family's house.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I remember I took an Uber from the event I
hosted to your folks house. It smelt like this old
hag smoked pack after pack of cigarettes. And that was
a part of me that almost star and tell him
Large March, since y'all you picked up the sea Hag. Honestly,
it was a woman that looked like remember the woman.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That didn't tell him Large March.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Remember the woman that was dishing out Sloppy Joe's and
Billy Madison et damn sloppy Hobby. She's driving Uber now,
I swear the woman who was on some marsh. That
woman was driving an Uber in New Jersey and she
picked me up. And it smelt like your grandpa's car
(05:02):
in nineteen eighty seven when he just smoked in the
car with the windows up. Rancid and Oldsmobile Cutlas Sierra,
you know, and your your seatbelt was his arm. I
call that sent rancid hobo ass. So it's felt like
rancid homo ass. And I was like am I being
a diva.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
If I deny this ride, I took it, and I
felt the whole time like, oh, gross, hobo, do you
decline that ride? If if an uber or a lyft lls,
I have time to spare. Otherwise I'm getting in.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But if we don't get into the big story at hand,
we're gonna get three stars and we don't want that.
Oh is it that Dean Blandino had to actually come
out and say the refs aren't favoring the chiefs. The
fact that officials in the NFL and you know, experts
are having to say, hey, guys. We got a lot
of feedback on that yesterday when we went over the
(05:55):
games from the weekend and we went over things that
made you go hmm, and you could hear it all
on the pop podcast search Covino and Rich and again,
five stars nothing less, maybe four. Don't hold our bad
jokes and uber stories against us. Five stars only.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
We'll see how you do today.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
There was a lot of people that hit us up,
and they do believe that these games aren't necessarily rigged,
but the reps are giving advantages and a lot of
the feedback didn't make sense. And I was thinking it.
It's like, well, we can't turn a complete blind eye
to the possibility because we saw it in the NBA.
The Tim Donahey story is real. That's a real story.
(06:32):
To pretend like it's impossible, it is also foolish. So
I don't think games are rigged. Do I think people
could be paid off and it's possible that calls are
going their way. Yeah, I do think it's possible because
we saw it on a very high level already.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
That's a true story. But if the country was rooting.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Very much dismissing and dismissive of the whole fixed and
rigged sentiment yesterday, I don't know. It's like a lot
of feedback. It's like people that think all these secrets
are being kept from us. People have big mouths. Everyone's
spilling the tea and their gossip girls and listen. I
very rarely think conspiracies are real because I think if
there was any truth behind it, people are such honestly
(07:14):
big mouths.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That do you want to be able to keep big secrets?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And by the way, most of the country was rooting
for the bills, But you say, what does the NFL
get out of the chiefs? I got a Taylor Swift
the three ped audience size. But I don't know, there's
not a party of the things. People would have been
more stoked about Bills Eagles. Is it that much to
gain from the Chiefs in the Super Bowl? Is Taylor
(07:39):
Swift's face popping up a few times?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I mean you don't.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That's assuming the money's coming from the NFL. Who knows
where it's coming from. Well, by the way, I'm sure
dB pointed out earlier happened in one of his updates,
a record setting number of viewers.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Do you see this number? It's absurd.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
This is like old school TV numbers when like people
watch mash This is members when people watched the Friends finale.
Almost sixty million people watched the AFC Championship.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, that does sound insane. That's the number we haven't
heard a little.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
When you think about that number, that's sort of like
the Seinfeld finale. That's like, like I said, when your
family all gathered in the eighties or nineties, before DVR,
before all these streaming things, when a finale of a
big show was on. That's like, it's like that one
time I watch Friends. I remember they played Hubastank in
the finale.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Did you get off the plane? Did you get off
the plane? I got off the plane.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I remember I went to a friends party. I'm like,
I don't know. I'm kind of glad you guys are
not my friends.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
This party sucks. Didn you say you like the Spanish
version better? Anyway? I like the Telemundo version, amigos, Yeah,
way better. Guys, you went to a friends party or
a friend's party.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
A friend's finale party with some friends, but not your friends,
some friends. I hadn't talked to you since then, so hey,
we got to get into other stuff here on the show,
and we're gonna show Time of Homes trivia Karl Anthony Towns.
In the news, there's an update. There's a stat on
close captioning that might blow your mind, but one of
(09:11):
the most random stories. And I was joking when I
said it. I said, Dan Byer didn't even bring it up.
It's because it's not really news, but it is. There's
a rumor and it seems to be official. I mean
they posted it. I know you, but again, you don't
know what's just an attention grab or what or what
could fall through the cracks or contracts fall out happens
(09:32):
in fighting all the time. But the announcement was made
today that sometime in March, around March twenty seventh, in fact,
on HBO Max, you're gonna watch two brothers go toe
to toe, head to head, Jake Paul versus Logan Paul.
And you may say, wow, now they're sort of marketing
(09:55):
this as the fight you waited ten years to see.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know about that ten years.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
A few years though, I've thought about the possibilities like
that it'd be cool if they fought.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
But I think this is kind of exciting. And here's why.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
The biggest criticism about fighting and boxing especially is that
you don't get the matchups that you want. The Klitchkos
never fought, right because they made that promise to their mom,
will never fight each other, and they sort of ran
the heavyweight division, sort of ruined the heavyweight division for
a good ten plus years because they wouldn't fight each
other and they held the belts and all that stuff.
(10:30):
You get Canelos who don't want to fight, the Crawfords,
you get all these people who don't want to fight
each other for contractual reasons or to keep that out
going as long as they can, And a lot of
times the fight happens when it's too late after the fact,
like Pakiao Mayweather did eventually happen, but as we said,
like ten.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Years too late.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So many people speculate with the fight have been In fact,
I saw this yesterday on a website. Would it have
been a different outcome if it was five years earlier?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Maybe? Right? You want them when they matter.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
If the Paum brothers are willing to put all pride
aside and fight each other for our entertainment and of
course to make lots of money because there's intrigue, there
isn't that embarrassing for actual prize fighting, the real prize fighting,
when you can't even get the fights you want. Yet
these brothers are willing to fight each other. Honestly, I
think it lights a fire under other promoters and lights
(11:22):
of fire under other boxers to be like, Yo, we're
willing to fight each other, you guys, and you guys
aren't willing to fight.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What's the excuse? Dude?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I got to give my wife credit? Where credits d
Rewind for a second, back to what the last five years?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Maybe the year was twenty twenty, maybe by.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I remember my wife it was like, look at social
media all intrigued about some story. I'm like, what, bait,
what are you giggling about over there? She's like, we
gotta rent this. I'm like, rent what. She's like, it's
ten bucks. One of the Paul brothers is fighting this
dude kas Yeah, and I remember, I remember how stupid
I thought that was, and I remember my wife being like, babe,
we should watch him. Like my wife's intrigued to watch
(12:07):
a random YouTube fight on Saturday. If my wife wants
to watch a fight, I'm down. And my wife's like,
I promise you. Social media is like buzzing about this,
and I took my wife's lead, and I remember watching it.
Tell him Kevin like, y'o, dude. One of the Paul
brothers fought another influencer. It was actually really entertaining, and
that was step one. It was in what we now
(12:28):
consider the spectacles, the premier fights Logan Paul, Jake Paul.
It was a YouTube event is going to be significantly bigger,
and I'd be huge. It's embarrassing to say this, but
far bigger than who's sick Fury, Far bigger than Canelo
or whoever he's fighting next. Far bigger than any of
these fights. We should either embrace it or be ashamed
(12:49):
or both. And what makes this work and makes it
more fun is that they do take it serious right.
They are working on their fight game. They are big names,
they're great promoters. If you don't like them, you don't
have to like them. If you don't respect their skill,
you don't have to. We can all agree that they're
great promoters. And here's why I think it's a positive.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Again.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think it lights the fire and lights the flame
under these quote unquote real fighters' asses to get in
the ring and get it going. If two brothers are
willing to fight. And I don't think it's some sort
of exhibition.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I don't you know. That's the other thing. Oh, it's
all fake anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I don't believe that. I believe that these guys are
too prideful. They've been competitive their whole life. I think
there's so much brotherly animosity on the line. They've always
been at each other's throat. I would love to see it.
I haven't waited ten years to see it. But again,
it ignites the fighters out there who were refusing to
(13:44):
fight other great fighters because they're holding out or they're
scared or like rich, We'll be in Vegas this Friday,
in fact, bringing it to you live from Benavitez fight, right,
Benevitez moral Now, for years we've been wanting Benavitez to
fight Canelo albers, we can't get that fight the head.
There's so many reasons why I get it, money, contractual issues,
but really, if they wanted to make it happen, they
(14:06):
would make it happen. But no one wants to put
their pride on the line. Like I know it sounds difficult,
but if let's say Danny g and I are fighters. Yeah,
I was like, yo, dude, I want to fight you,
and if he was like fine, I want to fight you,
it would happen. Exactly. It's they wanted to make it happen,
it would happen. But is Canelo scared of them?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But is Canelo thinking a bigger Benavidez, the Mexican monster
is a risk and not worth the reward?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Maybe? Who knows?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think Canelo would light them up to be honest, Well,
maybe talk to Benavidez this weekend.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
In fact, yeah, and it's the fight. We've heard Tyson
say that he has wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
To say, I want to see the Mexican Monster.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
He calls Benavitez the Mexican Monster, Mexican Monster Canelo. If not,
if not, I want to see tarrenth Crawford. Maybe we'll
get the Crawford fight. But again, that's the biggest criticism.
We're not getting the fights when we want them. We're
not getting the fights we want. So maybe if two
brothers are willing to fight, it embarrasses these boxers to
(15:06):
want to make these real, enticing fights happen. Sometimes you
need that in life, that extra kick in the ass,
that reminder to uh, just to take things next level.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I'll give you, like a.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Personal stupid example. I was gonna say, I have a
real life example. You don't when you don't pivot the
right way. Blockbuster Blockbuster right now could own the world.
If Blockbuster had pivoted and said we're going to really
lean into streaming, we'd all be streaming all these shows
on Blockbuster on our TVs.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Could have been Blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Blockbuster said, nah, we're we're gonna double down on no
late fees, and uh, you know, we're fine with DVDs
and Blu rays and and Netflix. At one point even
said you want to buy us for fifty million dollars
and Blockbuster said, no, we're good. That's what the Fight
game has done.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Flicks.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Let's be honest with these influencers coming in giving the
fans what they want, and the real boxers are becoming
Blockbuster Yeah, no, for real. So again, I hope we
reaped the benefits of these spectacles and the Paul Brothers fighting.
So what I was thinking too, is like, there's outside
influences sometimes that motivate you, and it shouldn't have to
(16:23):
come to that, but sometimes it does. It could be
a threat from your wife, right, Like all of a sudden,
you're getting lazy in your relationship. Some dude at the
office gave her flowers. Man, that might motivate you to
step your game up a little bit. Oh right. I
remember a personal example of my parents. I had worked
in New York City at Sirius XM and SNY for
(16:46):
years and we welcomed everybody to our studios.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It was a fun place to come to. It was
like going on a school trip, come see where we work.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Everybody under the moon had come and visited us and
watched us do our show live. Celebrities would be there.
My parents didn't come ever. We live about fifteen twenty
minutes away in Jersey. They never once in seventeen years
came to visit me at the office. One day, my
barber showed up. He was like an eight year old
Italian guy, and my barber showed up just.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
To be like, hey, I wanted to see what I
did my barber Luigi. This was around the time we
were officially moving the show from New York to La
so a lot of random friends like, hey, before you
guys move, I'm gonna take you up on it. Let
me see the students come up to the city. We'll
come see the studios.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
My barber Luigi and then a few people at the
shop came to visit us, and they saw us do
our show, and my parents were sitting there listening. They're like, dang.
Even the local barber went to visit them. I guess
we gotta go, And they came and finally came. Surprised
me in the studio. It was awesome. Hey, oh my god,
to see my parents there for the first time, and
(17:51):
you know, seventeen years random example, But my dad will
tell you once he heard Luigi up there in the studio.
He's like, damn, his own father hasn't come and seen.
But as Barber went, now I gotta go. That ignited
the fire, and ignited the flame for my dad to
just take a trip to see us broadcast live.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
In New York for one of the last times.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
If this gets the fights that we want to happen
in actual boxing and UFC and so on and so on,
and then you know what, I'm all for it. Because
the Paul brothers are putting their wables on the line
for our viewing pleasure. I think I can only respect that.
That's what I'm trying to say. You could hate the
Paul brothers and the spectacle fights, Tyson, Jake Paul.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
People got together and watched and if that, if that
you said, lights of fire under the ass.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Or if it you know, really it shouldn't have to
come to that.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
By how many people let their if it's a cadilescaping
fail Their front lawn looks like astreaks, right, but just
because their neighbor did some cool new design and hired
a landscape or something, now your place looks like ass.
So now you're forced to what, oh man, I guess
I gotta step my game.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
No joke. We moved in.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We did a whole rento of we got all this
curve appeal and that we're bringing down the property value.
My next door neighbor was like, oh, we love what
you did the place. Hey, you know what, what's your
contractor's number? We feel like we should be doing something now,
you're right, you these things are catalysts.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So long story.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Short, if the Paul brothers are willing and fight each other,
and if.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
They're entertaining enough, well we'll watch.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Hopefully that will be the spark of the catalyst to
get Canelo, Benavidez, Crawford, all these guys to take on
the fights the fans want to see, because if they're
gonna be outdone by YouTubers, that is that's the weakest. Yes,
So that's really my takeaway from it. I'm like, you
got two brothers willing to fight each other from the
(19:40):
millions of people. That takes a set man set of
call honess and you gotta respect it.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So that's the update. Is it gonna happen as they're saying?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
March twenty seventh, HBO Max Jake Paul versus Rand Paul,
I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Chris, I mean RuPaul, I mean Aaron Paul, I mean,
oh the way, how many Paul's on there? Paul? What if? Father?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
By the way, what a not really that popular name
to have so many celebrities, right, Aaron Paul, Jake, Paul,
Ran Paul, Chris Paul, Robert RuPaul, Rupe Paul, so if
Jake versus Logan Paul March twenty seventh, HBO Max stats
what they're saying as of now, and as a fight
fan again, I'm hoping for greater things.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
As a result. John Paul the second.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Now, you got to work, you bad out work. You
got RuPaul's gonna bring him down to the ring.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Now, there's a stat about closed captioning not subtitles. There's
a difference. We'll explain that too, and we'll get to
it next.
Speaker 2 (20:40):

(23:05):
Sam DB's got your updates in a few minutes. But
like we said before, I just want to say it again.

light Heavyweight Championship, El Monstro, Benavidez, the Mexican Monster in
(23:26):
an all Mexican.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Car's pumped about this fight.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But would you brandon the heartbreaker figure out on the
senses title against Stephen Fulton. I'm sure Morel doesn't want
to hear this, but is this considered a tune up
for Benavetez if he were to get Canelo? It is,
but it's still gonna be a tough fight. Pitpull Cruise
is fighting. We're gonna be there bringing it to you
live interviews on Friday, So join us Friday from Vegas
(23:51):
leading into the fight, and then we head straight to
New Orleans for a week of Super Bowl fun Here

Now I got an NFL question, talk a little super Bowl,
and then I know we're going to get to a
study of how you, as an old ass dude or
a young guy or an old woman watch your sports
(24:31):
as a new theory. But I saw that the game
tickets Eagles Chiefs not going to hit an all time high.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
They're wondering, well, the game will halftime break records. I'm
gonna say absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Also because my thoughts on Kendrick Lamar, big star, but
not the mass appeal that will break a halftime record,
not a Katie Perry or Beyonce or someone that would
would break a record.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But if thanks you did your mom.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Who know who Kendrick Lamar is? No, she knows who
Beyonce is. But maybe the NFL doesn't care about what
my mom. But what I'm saying is I don't think
records will be broke. However, they're saying record numbers for
the price of some of the suits at the stadium.
So here's the dumb question I have for you. If
Taylor Swift apparently is responsible for what were the numbers
(25:22):
being thrown around last year's spot, she generated tens of
millions of dollars for the NFL, sounds right like fifty
sixty million if Taylor Swift's just her presence, just her
being there and all these youngsters that are.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Like Taylor Swift, who's her guy? Go chief?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So if she's really generating tens of millions of dollars,
I agree, double barf, but makes me want to If
she really is helping to generate tens of millions of
dollars for the NFL, I'm not barfing for the record,
I'm not barfing at their relationship and love story or
(25:58):
even her. It's the people that are just tuning in because.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Of her and rich a bigger number actually.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Front Office Sports recently reported Swift has created a brand
value of three hundred and thirty one point five million
dollars for the chiefs in the NFL, citing data from
Apex Market. Marketing group says this data accounted for print, digital, radio,
TV highlights, social media monitoring, Swift since she attended her
first Chiefs game.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Bro, what Taylor Swift has done for the Chiefs of
the NFL, I'm not even joking, is comparable to what
Otani did with Japanese fans for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's absurd.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So if you're talking about Taylor Swift bringing in that
type of money, and of course they showcase her, I
equally yet annoy to people that hate when they show her,
it's like you don't expect them at least a couple times. Now.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's just it's so predictable because no one is coming
right now.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It's normal because if Travis Kelsey has a big play,
why would they not?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You would if you were the camera guy, Rich, get
Caitlin Clark up there again, I'm not man, look at
man even more ratings Gross.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I think if you're that angry about these things, you
need to talk to somebody. They have nothing in common
other than they're both popular. No, she Kaitlyn Clark's a
huge Chiefs fan.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So there you go. Rich, Okay, there you are right.
Maybe you are right, but anyway, thank you. So he's
just a Kaitlyn Clark stalkers equally, not the.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Guy I equally am annoyed by the guys that are like,
stop showing her. But here's my dumb question. Let me
get to the point, should Taylor Swift have to pay
for her suite? Because if she really is generating hundreds
of millions of dollars, then shouldn't it be like Miss Swift?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Right this way, she's.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Also generating like billions of dollars for herself, So is
it really that big of a deal if she pays
for it? We would be the first to see at
big events we've covered, who gets all the freebies?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Rich people? Rich people? Okay, well, speaking of rich people.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
What I'm saying is if you see you go to
the Grammys, the Oscars, the Spies at any award show,
who gets the swag bags worth thousands and you know,
thousands the people that don't need it?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's called kissing. Ah.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
So what I'm saying is I wonder will Taylor Swift
have to pay for a suite? Or is it almost
like y'all, Taylor thank you sweets are going up to
three million dollars a suite at this point, It's crazy.
According to an article that I read, I forget where
it was might have been Uh, what's the name of
that article you read you only do hit him?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Is that TikTok? I think I read it on TikTok?
No it was I think it was a kmz SP.
We also had a highlights magazine at the Dentist.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
There's one hundred and sixty five recently renovated seating areas
for rich people, and these boxes served twenty to forty
five people. So they're twenty to forty five person boxes
starting at five hundred thousand dollars up to two plus
almost three million dollars a suet. Well, they're saying the
three milli ones are obviously right, fifty yard line, better
(28:49):
seating and stuff like that. But what I mean, I'm
not saying. I'm not laughing at three million dollars. But
for Taylor Swift, why wouldn't she Why shouldn't she reach
she makes so much money. But what I'm saying, if
the money is going straight to the NFL. All right, Cavino, Yeah,
let's be honest. You worked in radio TV.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I sure have.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
When you've when you've got deals at places like, oh, Cavino,
we got your free tickets to Disney or Universal or
this is that you don't need it. You know who
could use that more than you some struggling family, But
you took the perk because you're on radio TV.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I'm telling you. If Taylership generates all this money.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Is based on that, I guess the NFL wants to
keep her happy and they probably will give it to
her for free.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
The person that needs at least will get it rich.
One point, won't she be in Travis Kelce's suite again?
Remember the story he paid for the suite last year
that she sat in?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Maybe, I mean, and it's not I think there was
a page six story yesterday or today and it said
Travis kelcey could drop another three million on luck super
Bowl twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Sweet, I mean for Taylor Swift and loved ones. How
will he afford that between his NFL contract and his
one hundred million dollars podc Cast deal? How is it
his endorsements in his cereal And didn't you have like
some funny little slogan for it that Tay what would
you know? It will tape? Hey? Will Tay pay? All right?
So the question is will Tay or should Tay pay?
You always wanted to visit there tapey to pay or
(30:16):
not to pay.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
If we're talking about Rich, it's definitely a two pay yes,
But that is the question. And if you want to
talk good business, the way Rich broke it down, it
seems unfair, but that's how the world works. So I
would say it's in the NFL's best interest to give
it to her for free. Is it going to break
her bank? No, that's why it's not a big deal.
(30:40):
But the right think the NFL will give it to
for free because they want to keep her, her fans
and everything happy, and they want to keep it going.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
It's just good business.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
When you go to.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
A fight night, or let's say you're watching remember the
first Monday Night Raw that was on Netflix. Yeah, and
it was out here at Into It Dome. Yeah, where
your boy got booed the Hulkster. Yeah, not my boy anymore. Yeah,
your boy. When you saw that and all the A
listers and B listers were in the first couple rows,
you think they're paying for their tickets.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
You think someone with a Netflix show and they're like
raws Now on Netflix and there they are, the star
of Netflix show.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
That's the business of you know, scratch my back. I'll
scratch your first scratching each other's assone scratching each other's ass.
So I'm say NFL's way of scratching Taylor Swift's ass,
I wouldn't be shocked. At my point.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Is the one person that could afford it more than
anyone will likely get the free suite, And uh yeah,
it rubs people the wrong way, especially when other rich
business people are paying up to three million dollars for it.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
They're still not Taylor Swift. That's just how it is.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well, with that said, let's get some updates in the
world of sports with Dan Byer.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
What's up debating you guys? Saints they're still looking for
a head coach.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Last night they confirmed, or today they confirmed that last
night they spoke with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for
a second time about their head go coaching vacancy. The
Saints job is the only vacant head coaching job right
now in the NFL. Commander's offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury has
withdrawn his name from consideration in New Orleans. According to
Fox Sports, NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Cowboys officially hired former
(32:14):
Bears head coach Matt iber Flu says their defensive coordinator
Iber Flu spent time in Dallas as their linebackers coach
about eight years ago. Patriots are letting go of Brian
Belichick after five years of coaching the team's safeties. In
speaking with Beat writers of the Cleveland Browns, GM Andrew
Berry said the team will not be trading defensive end
Miles Garrett this offseason, even if they were offered to
(32:35):
first round picks. Eagles will wear their home green jerseys
for Super Bowl fifty nine. Chiefs wear their road whites.
ESPN the first to report that the Kings were open
to trading the Aaron Fox prior to next week's trade deadline.
Kingsbeat dot com says that Fox wants to go to
the San Antonio Spurs. He will be a free agent
after the twenty twenty five to twenty six season. Golden
(32:56):
State Warriors will retire Andre Godalo's number nine jersey on
February twenty third, when they host the Warriors and Clay
It should say when the Warriors host Klay Thompson.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
And the Mavericks.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Igodala the seventh Warriors player to have their number retired,
first from the recent Warriors dynasty and CAP's forward Dean
Wade's gonna miss multiple weeks with a bone bruise in
his knee, according to Cleveland dot Com, Guys, back to you,
no dB, Thanks Bud.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Can everyone mark their outlook right now? Monday? February tenth?
What's Monday? Favorite time? The day we start caring about
the NBA? Ah? Yeah, after the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Can we instead of just casually looking at highlights and
you know, standings, can we dive into the NBA.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I don't know. The Lakers have been on fire the
past week or so.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I've been watching a little Lakers because they they are
fun to watch. I mean, I am sucked in by Lebron.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
This is what's great too, is just as you're about
to get locked into the NBA, their All Star weekend
is the next weekend.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
So yeah, weekend little the best.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Close in to the Super Bowl, I start thinking about, well,
we're less than two months now away from baseball. Yeah,
spring training kicks it right after we got back raceball.
I'm a bigger baseball guy, but I will say I
don't want to harp on it. I'll just say it
one time and then I know we got a break.
Does no one want Peter Alnzo. Someone's gonna scoop him
up and breg But is Scott Boris that much of
(34:21):
a pain in the ass that Steve Cohen is.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Theres a lot of reports that it's not him.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Steve Cohen Isigent's job is to do what's right for
his player and get what his player deserves. Apparently it
is Alonso who could essentially make the call and make
this happen. But I say, Boris, this is where I
want to play.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Make it work.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
But Steve Cohen, as a Mets owner, has been so transparent,
and at that Mets fan fest he said, listen, I
know you guys love Pete, because the fans were going,
we want Pete, and He's like, listen, I get it.
We gave a pretty great offer, and listen if he
doesn't want it, we love Pete. But I'll be honest.
The dealings with Scott Boris were more of a pain
in the ass than Sodo by a ton. So if
Soto is considered an easy deal, you don't think maybe
(35:02):
Scott Boris is getting in the way of Pete a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
See if Pete wants to join your own.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Softball league, you know what it might come down to that.
I think it might be a little more of Pete
Alonzo complaining and holding his ground than you think it is.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Your thoughts on Polar Bear, Pete, your thoughts on Taylor
Swift Pain, We'll get to all that, and of course
Mahomes trivia all coming up next right here.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Live from the ti iraq dot Com studio, Iowa Sam
on the Ones and twos Mixmaster Sam. I got a
dumb I got a dumb question for everyone. I said
something during the break and only half the people in
room got me.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I'm talking about. I brought in some peanut m and
ms and I handed spot a couple Coveno, you want
some m and ms? And I was left with a
couple in the bag. And you know, what rich is
rich is what you call in German a.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Gain stifler, gaines stiflock, gains stiflock, gaines stiflock racist.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
No, because I made that up. It's just gain. He
stifles my gains.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I'm in the gym, I'm on the treadmill, and this
guy's bringing in and donuts. Whatever his kids don't want
at home. He brings here to the office and he
stifles my gains. I'm trying to avoid snacks and he's.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Pushing them on.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
I brought in a girl chicken sandwich and a green
druce for myself, and I gave Covino M and ms.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
He's trying to bring me down. He's a gain definitely
an ult in there somewhere. He's a gain stifler man.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
So I'm I'm at the gym every day for this
guy to bring me leftover cupcakes, leftover donuts from the weekend.
So it's hard to say no. I gave these guys
the weekend gave you donuts. I gave him a bag
of Eminem's bad joke.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
It was great. Actually, the weekend gave him donuts. That
was your stretch. Get back to the drawing.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Board, please please bring up this awesome point you're about
to make about Eminem's ohn.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Wow, this is as good as the Paul I know me.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
You know, Spot and I were very close to doing
like a charity boxing match. Yeah maybe, and no joke.
A couple months after that, Danny G. Spot ended up
having quintuple bypass surgery.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Oh yeah, that's a rich ward have killed me and
then he would have that on as conscious of the
rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
We would have went this.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Imagine we would have had like a charity boxing match
and I'd be laughing down from heaven right now, and
all of a sudden Spot would have been laying on
the ground like like he's Apollo Creed and I'm Drago.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
That would have been awful. So it felt terrible if
he murdered Spot in the ring. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
By the way, I'm not even joking. That almost happened
because we were at each other. We were so at
each other's throats and I'm like, yo, I want to
fight you. Were like, well, I'll fight you in a
charity guy.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Here, M and MS please, I could have killed you.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Look good, I said, I gave you guys, M and
MS and I had a little three eminems left in
my bag and they were all green, and I go, oh,
green emin m's.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
You know what that means? And that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Spot and Covino knew what I meant, And you guys didn't.
Didn't you grow up knowing that they always joked that
green eminem's made you horny?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
You never heard that as a kid, No, no one,
So I'm sorry. I'm confused. Did a doctor prescribe it
for you? And that's why you brought him in? Hold
about damn Bayer? You've never heard that green m and
ms get y'all riled up?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
No, then they're actually my favorites.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Fertile turtle, Yeah seats Danny g And I was saying
you had never heard like the stupid joke of like, oh,
green Eminem's get y'all.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
No, I didn't know green Eminem's were an aphrodisiac, is
what you're saying. Now we know, we know how DBS
sun got here. Now though it's more it's more like
a legend. I don't think there's any truth Green die forty,
But that apparently was a rumor that I knew.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
It stems from van Halen requesting bowls of just green
eminem serious, is that where it came from? Yeah, like
another celebrities followed suit, and then it became a thing,
and then and then eminem started playing into it. They
made the the sexy green eminem.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Or something.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
So you know that if you were kid of the
eighties or nineties, Covino and I did not grow up
in the same area. So the fact that we both
remember hearing that green eminem's oh yeah, got y'all riled up.
I mean you heard you heard the Richard gear rumor, right, Sam, Yes, okay, okay, yes,
I don't know how he got pegged with that.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
And that's about the brown eminem. I know how with
a gerbil Apparently you were supposed to say that out loud.
And you heard that Paul Pfeiffer grew up to become
Marylyn Manson.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
These are all great rumors, no rumors, rumors, allegedly, all
that good stuff. Just say green emin ms. But I'm
shocked that neither of you had heard that. Anyway, you
could turn off the central music.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Let's just get my green M and m's right, M
and m's.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Anyway, Yeah, coming up, we got my home showtime trivia.
We're gonna give away a convenio on Rich Fox Sports Radio,
stainless steel water bottle Swiggy. We'll get to that, plus
a new study about how we are all watching sports.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
