(00:21):
ask you Codino. Yeah, how do you feel that wood
the Kelsey song or the model on the side of
his bed? Oh no, no, not the big black dude
the song? Because they asked uh Travis at on his podcast,
Travis aid any reference to him as an honor, and
Jason really leaned into his way. No, no, no, the song
(00:45):
about your junk? How do you feel about it? There's
a great song. You both agreed it was a great song.
I'll tell you this, and I say this respectfully. I
don't give a Diddley squat about Taylor Swift music. So
that's my take on it. Well, the Covino and Rich
we'd be rocking out. Let's go, you'd give a Diddley
Scott if someone wrote a song about your junk?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Kelsey set you haven't. Kelsey said he thinks he's more
like a Japanese maple. Sometimes you can.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
See so funny because she makes Redwood references in the
new song would about Travis. To be honest, Rich, I
just think I rock too hard for Taylor Swift music.
I don't know, man, I'm not into it. I don't
hate on it, not hating, just stating it's just not
for me. You can't expect me to care about music
(01:29):
that my daughter listens to. It's as simple as that.
I like it because she likes it, but I'll never
like it for me. I mean, I think this in
particular because there's so much crossover with the biggest artist
in the world right now and the NFL, which is
the biggest sports brands in the world. It's more of
a pop culture thing than I care about Taylor Shrew's music.
She liked the song when Luis Miguel sang it very similar,
(01:53):
very because some of her songs are very similar to
other songs. And I'm just teasing now, I'm just kidding,
but I did us in out of curiosity. That's fair.
That's the same way I want to see Kate Pop
Demon Hunters because everybody's talking about it. Oh, you mean
my daughter's Halloween customer ready exactly. So, we're Covino and

with that said, a couple quick phone calls about Rasin
Cavino has this uh theory that yo, when his Yankees
are losing, Well, I live by something called do want
to others?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah? And uh, oh you made that up. I did
like that all that way. You made this up by
what it actually? I assessed a lot of things like
would I do that? And if I wouldn't, then I'm like,
I think you stink. I don't know. I used to
wear bracelet by the way it say what it would
it was w W C D what would Cavino do?
But I don't. I'm not like the razzing type, not
(03:15):
with that with sports teams, not especially if I don't
know you that well. Or maybe that's your way of
trying to get to know someone better. Right, You're just
trying to tease them, nag them, get under their skin.
It's like a flirting of sorts. I don't know because
I don't do it well. You and I have talked
about how will you assess your buddies, your coworkers, guys
at the barber shop, you your college palace from when
(03:35):
you were younger. Some people know how to bust balls,
and some people don't like that. Some people they're like, no,
you're just being rude. And other people are good at it.
And I think some people maybe just don't know if
they're good at it or not. Yeah, I'm not saying
I get mad and they pull my hair out, I'm like, ooh,
you son of U. I I just choose to ignore it.
I'm like, I'm not I'm not taking the bait. That's
(03:56):
really it. I'm not taking the bait on this. I'm
not gonna like hit you act something mean about your.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You know who on our network loves to give people
the business about their teams. Boy Ben mau Oh yeah,
he calls it shot in freud, and it is to
the one hundredth degree with that guy. Like if you
come in and your team just lost, your head is
down because you're like, and I got to listen to
this guy, and he does. He starts his monologue with
an evil laugh and looks right at you and points.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
At times. It's like Steven A laughing at the Cowboys fan. Yeah,
but Steven A is good at that. He's good at it.
And I'm not saying Ben Mallers not. But for instance,
if Ben Maller like left at the joy of my
Niners losing a big game, I would not be friends
with Yeah, Mal, that type of guy. I'd be like, yeah,
I don't meet a guy like you in my life.
Beat it, beat it mallor that your big Olfes another
(04:42):
guy that's really great at it. Like he's that typical
loud mouth late night sports guy that just wants to
rub it in and ras you.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, and then if you try to ask him about
his team, he deflects and he's like, no, no, No, I'm
their biggest critic.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I told you, yeah, your clippers. I mean, you think
I am easy. God bless you, Danny for being able
to put up with that.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Well, I've been able to push back on that guy
and argue with him to where I unravel what he's
trying to say.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
But then you're taking the bait because now you're arguing
with the guy, right, so your thoughts on with the
phone calls? Hey, Zach, what's up Gluigans?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
You guys finally let me talk?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, what's up? Buddy?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
You're U so a couple of things. Raiders. I mean,
my dad will just get up and leave in the
middle of a game. He doesn't want to hear it
from anybody who turns off his phone. He's done. But
so I grew up a Raiders fan, and I got
my buddy. He's in Michigan. He's a huge Detroit fan.
We pump each other up when it comes to our
(05:39):
teams because we've both been in the dumps for so long.
But I'm also a Seattle Mariners fan because I've spent
some time in the Northwest. And he actually ignored his
phone call a couple of times already. He's been trying
to call me and get me.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, I'll be honest. I'm no joke if my team
loses the Like when the Mets lost that final game
of the season when they could have made it in
I saw people that called me, and I'm like, if
you think I'm answering that Jo's phone call, if you
think if you think I'm going to respond to I'll
see text means is like, oh I know what this
text is about. Yeah, no, thanks, so fun. I don't
(06:14):
play along. Hey, Zach, thank you very much, appreciate you.
Shout out to Idaho. What up Dave in Pennsylvania? What up? Dave?
You and Rich show.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Hey, guys, just wanted to share first off, that as
you get older, you definitely mature. I'm not nearly how
I used to be, however, being a lifelong Steelers fan.
When I first started dating my wife more than thirty
years ago, my wife's family was all Browns fans. So
the Steelers playing the Browns for the third time, it
(06:47):
was in the playoffs that year, they had already beat
them twice in the regular season, and well, Steelers end
up winning. So both my father in law and his
sister worked in the same machine shop. So I ended
up sending the funeral bouquet with the card that says,
my condolence is on your loss. And it was a
black and gold arrangement and they but.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You would go a hand with my mom and brother. Yeah, man, seriously,
AIX sports baby games is what I call it now,
speaking of the Browns. Speaking of the Browns, TB, you
got something to say.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, I got something to say.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, buddy, don't give you got something to say.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
First of all, I've never cheered harder than against an
next girlfriend's team. Okay, I don't know if you guys
have ever been there, Like at that point, there's a girl,
maybe a dated, well I significant.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Brothers their new relationship. But I don't know if that count.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
But if I knew that they were a fan of
a certain team, like I just completely root against them.
How do you guys feel though about analysis of your
game going on? And I'll just use an example for Richie.
Let's just say it's a Mets game, and let's just
say there the bats aren't going You're in a group chat,
someone say, man, Met's bat's pretty silent today, Like it's it's.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Innocent Mets fans saying that no, no, they're neutral, all right,
they're neutral. Yeah, I don't want to hear that. I
don't want to hear their comments.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Agreed, one hundred, don't Yes, I'm with you. Who asked
you correct? It's not even negative, but they're pointing out
something that is obvious, that is a big thorn in
your side at that point.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's funny. This is personal, but funny. My brother, my brother,
just finalized he went through a divorce his ex's family.
They're from the Maryland area, all big Ravens fans. My
brother is relishing in how bad the Ravens are Like
every week. My brother's like, no the loss, bro is
(08:49):
in how they must be said about the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The fans are booing and he's standing up and charing
in his defense.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You have a lot of petty feelings when you're going
through divorce. Yeah, I totally get that, and that's what
it is, very petty. Let me give you one more
petty one and then we'll move on. We'll do Mike's
Words of Wisdom, give away some prizes. But uh, you know,
I'm a big Niners fan. Postseason a couple of years ago,
you guys know, I like to have people over to
watch a little postseason football. I invited one of the
(09:16):
moms and the kids from school over, one of my
daughter's friends and they have two little boys. And the
mom came over, no horse in the race. She sort
of thought it was like fun to root against my team.
Oh that's so corny, and I I was trying not
to be a child, Danny J. But I pulled my
wife aside to get it out of you, and I said,
(09:39):
you gotta talk to her, get a loader. And my
wife's like, what do you mean. I go, I'm rooting
on the forty nine ers and I think they were
playing the Cowboys. It was it was like a wild
card a divisional game, and I go, babe, for real, though,
you gotta you gotta pull her aside and say.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I was riches home court advantage right here, I.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Said, I might have actually said the phrase, you'll tell
her to cool it, or she's got to leave.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
This is my.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
House.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You don't take it at home. This is your safe space. Yeah,
this is my home now. If Dan Buyer came over
and it was Seahawks Niners fair, he's a Seahawks fan.
But if you know if it was Niners bucks this
week and someone just came over my house and just
for the hecky buck. Yeah, let's go Baker.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Wait, what are you telling you?
Speaker 9 (10:24):
You're like, also, there's there's one thing being obnoxious and
rooting against like someone's team in their own home. And
then like if you're just talking about a game and
you're so insecure that you can't even admit that your
team is sucking or like that, I can't they have
twenty yards. You have to would be able to like
look at your own team unbiased. Yeah, of course, and
you have to be able to take it a little bit,
not in your own mojo dojo cos. Yeah, but you
(10:44):
don't need somebody telling you that. Yeah, like I know
that I can. Also, you can't.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
I can't move the football or I can see my
team is striking out left and right.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I had a football party that remember the game where
the Niners got blown out by the Eagles because brock
Perty got hurt and they had like remember by the
end of it, they didn't have a they didn't even
have the quarterback NFC Championship game that year. I remember
having people over and I'm like, yeah, I know, I
know what's going on. You know, like Dan said, you
don't need to analyze this game, and Fron give him
(11:12):
the stare and you go, thanks, I got it, appreciate it.
Got it now. Our boy Dave from Pennsylvania brought up
the Browns. I have a question about Joey Flacco. Okay,
Joey Flacco your new Bengal and I'm gonna pose that
question right after Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. The rules
are simple. We try to spread the wisdom that we
(11:32):
are so fortunate and lucky to get every day. For Mike,
who runs this place, we try to pass it down,
pass it along to you guys, And if you could
repeat it verbatim, it's simple.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
You win.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You get a hold of one of our turbo balls.
You get to grab onto one of those bad boys.
All right, well, let's take a listen Mike' sworts of wisdom.
It's time for the guy that runs this place.
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in arch of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Before you judge someone walk a mile in their shoes
that way, When you do judge them, you're a mile
away and you have their shoes.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's so dumb and I love it and I love it.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, should we get it one more time because it
came in a little low there, Yeah, a little word.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Right here we go. I love that though.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Here you go before you judge someone walk a mile
in their shoes that way, when you do judge them,
you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I feel like you had more to say than He's like, nah,
I'm good right there. That's it. Yeah, you know what.
It was good right there? If you could repeat that
verbatim you in one of our new and improve turbo
balls are Nerve footballs, and I yeah, they're coming. They're
coming eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And if
(13:10):
you won in the past, they're different. So be calling,
be dialing eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox for
your chance to win. And I have a question again,
in a world where we don't know what to believe anymore,
is Michael Jackson doing stand up now? All this weird
AI stuff that you see every day, I don't know
what to believe? But it's called Sora Sora.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Spot made one earlier of Coveno and the Yankees, and honestly,
it was unbelievable, so weird. I know, you know what,
we'll probably let's post it that Coveno and writch. We'll
post it that Coveno on ritch on social media so
you could take a look. And he did it in
ten seconds, so I'm sure it could be better than that.
It was way more majestic than judges home run. I
saw a photo and I'm assuming it's real of Joey
(13:55):
Flacco flying economy.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, it says, reports confirm that Flaco indeed flew commercial.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So he's flying economy for a big game. And then
their speculation that well, this is the second time he's
playing the Packers in four weeks. He already studied film
and he's prepared for him. Why does he need better accommodations.
He already won. He's ready to go. Joey Flaco, your
new quarterback, a veteran in the game, flys economy. I'm
(14:23):
not saying he's too good. I don't think anyone's ever
too good for economy, but you should never be complaining
if this dude is flying economy with all the money
he has. Are the Bengals that chief? I mean, I mean,
if you want to remember, put on your thinking cap.
Remember it was weeks ago that Boomer Sisin, who does
his radio show on WFN in New York, he went
(14:47):
on a ramp with his co host go Remember they
talked about how they wanted to honor Boomer as part
of the Ring of Honor, and maybe they were gonna
have some of the alumni comeback. And they they gave
Boomer like a group on discount code for the hotel. Like,
didn't even put him up in the hotel. I forgot
about it. Doesn't even put up Boomer Asiacin at a hotel.
(15:07):
But how could you feel excited about joining a new team, Bunk?
I don't know. Man, he's a he's a super Bowl champion.
I'm not saying he's above the law or above anybody,
but to be sitting there waiting for the granny to
get her luggage out of the overhead, that's not how
he should be approaching this situation.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Now, a simple Twitter Google search would show that this
picture is like two years old.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Even had it's not even somebody hasn't flown coach. It's
just that he didn't do it from Cleveland, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Why do people want to stupidity? It's not right, it's deception.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Wait a second, though, So the AI overview right now
is wrong then, because it says, yes, the reports are right.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Record. It was circulated amongst our group, and we spoke
to Danny G about.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It before the show. I wasn't in that group chat here.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
We all got got but we did do our due diligence.
We thought it was real, and I'm like, are you
sure it's not AI? You sure it's not fake? It
was two years old. Your due diligence was Are you
sure it's not fake? That was that was due diligence.
I mean because the AI overview.
Speaker 11 (16:21):
That that's your g give me us due diligence, Danny
You sure.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's real diligence? Well I was. I got another diligence
watching me To be fair.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
In our pre show meeting, Covino said, I'm going to
present it on the air as we don't know whether
or not this is done falsely.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well, I'm not above this because I just got fooled.
So you're tell me Icky Woods didn't pick them up
from the airport, And.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
How are you supposed to know it's from last week
or from two years ago?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I kind of the conversation, how do you know what
to believe in this? All the time?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I talked about this just the other day.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
This is the worst.
Speaker 11 (17:01):
I love your innocence. What's that Isn't this one got
kimble kicked off here?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, cirpresentation of everyday goodness for Danny's buyer for Connie.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Someone apparently put it on a gift card like two
years ago to a friend of Joe Flacco, and the
overhead compartments all open behind.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Well, let me try to save this and say, if
you ever complain about your travel accommodations, just remember what
Joe Flacco had to go through two years ago he
had when he was with who.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, there was some there was some complaining recently from
some of the Steelers players that they didn't get to
fly first class to Ireland.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That is a true story.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I did say to Danny earlier today. In the NFL,
a billion dollar organization, if there's not private planes for
the teams and they are flying solo because of a trade,
an acquisition, an injury, to not put these guys up
first class is insane considering the money involved in these organizations. Plus,
these guys are all two fifty three hundred and four
(17:58):
one hundred pounds beasts that are all six I'm gonna
have to squeeze into these seats and I'm losing sleep
trying to travel to places. I think they're a little
of a higher investment. Well they're large men too, they're nice.
Won't even fit in there. So Look, the conversation wasn't
even about this to begin with. The conversation was, Hey,
there's this picture floating around of Flacco. Is he wearing
(18:19):
a Ravens jersey? And the conversation to your accommodation pet peeves,
your travel pet peeves, like what are they that?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I think that was really what we were getting. I
got I gotta travel pet peeve. Let's hear it eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. One of my travel pet peeves.
Because I'm not a cheap guy, I try to be
generous and nice. One of my pet peeves is on
that rare occasion you get to go away with the wify.
Oh boy, you go to a resort, you check in,
they give you the glass of Champagne, like, oh, welcome,
You're in Aruba, the Bahamas, Mexico somewhere, and they like
(18:54):
insist on carrying your carry on to your room and
you're like no, no, I got it. And then you
go to the room and like literally it's down the hall.
And then you got to give some guy like a
ten or twenty because he carried your bag and he
slaps his hand out there waiting for a tip, and
that's when you give him a low five. That's why
you like Kevin mckellister and you give him your gum gumbia.
(19:15):
You know what, Rob Schneider rub that's such a great one.
I mean, everybody hates that. So that's where we were
going anyway. Wasn't about now we're taking your phone calls
on how cheap are the Bengals? It was what are
some of your travel pet peeves? Because he's traveling economy,
what are some of the things that grind your goat
when it comes to travel and accommodations.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I was just gonna say rich because of that reputation
the Bengals have. Whoever put this out there all day,
he knew that we'd fall for it.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You know what, I know it's my own fault because
you could pay to go to a zone one, Zone two,
group two, three four. I know you can pay your
way up the list. But my biggest pet peeve is
when I try to be cheap and I'm doing a
quick little flight or something and I'm in one of
the later zones and they make you check your carry
on and the whole reason you took a carry on
was to avoid baggage claim. That is a travel pet peeve.
(20:08):
You know, grinds my goat, and I know it grinds
your gears, gets your goat, Get out of my face,
I get it, don't rap me whatever. You know, it
squeezes my shoes. When you're sitting there like waiting for
a flight to take off, and you start watching a
game or you just put the movie on, and then
they keep interrupting you with the stupid flight announcement in
(20:28):
your cut. But then no, sometimes you can't even hear it.
He's like, what's the point of your little spiel, your
little captain spiel if I can't even hear you? And
that that really does bother me. I'm not gonna lie.
And if you travel a lot, you know what I'm
talking about and you want to you're interested in this
credit card? No, I'm not get away from me. So
that's where we were going. Either way, it's a great
(20:49):
jump off. I was on the studio lines. Did you
guys mention the turbulence announcements? I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, listen, We've had this happen on some of our
work trips where we're all sitting there and they get
on their intercom and they say, there there may be
some turbulence.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
So we're not.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Gonna have drink service, and there's absolutely no turbulence, and
we don't get a drink.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cavino grabs my thigh the whole time.
I'm like, they're waiting for it. They're scamming me out
of my ginger ale and cranberry, my cranapple. Al right,
well waffle cookie? Yeah, where's my waffle cookie? How about
we do this? Do you want to break? We'll come back,
we'll get a winner for Mike's words of wisdom. That's perfect,
and then we'll go to Spot's midweek major. So a
lot of fun coming up. I'll get five minutes today
(21:30):
about perfect. Can't wait more. Covino and Rich next right

have time for get the event on the extra stuff,
like we could have a whole two hour show based
on like you were just talking about our travel Pep Peeves,
I thought of another one in Sam's like, yeah, that
is I said, you ever start watching a movie and
(22:12):
the flight lands and you have like ten minutes left
in that movie and then you have to then when
you get to go home and somehow find the remainder
of that movie. Yeah, So there's so many of them,

for playing along. We do that every Wednesday. You know
what else we do something called mid Week Major.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Coveno and Rich get you over the middle of the
week when mid Week Major Major.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh, I love that.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
We definitely see in our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I gotta go really quick here to give Spotty seven
full minutes. All right, before we hand things over to
the number one and only host, we are gonna roll
the two big red love dice. It looks like Coveno
went already.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I rolled the seven, I rolled the six, so I.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Went a Coveno gets the first take six to seven.
SA stop And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous
person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey, Spotty boy.
Speaker 11 (25:00):
Yes, let's jump right in. We'll start with last night's
Yankees game. That's more specifically, who was in the the stands,
and that is none other than super Bowl halftime performer Baboon.
Two things actually happened last night. First, I'll start with
the positive. Uh, he actually snagged a foul balls possible,
(25:23):
He was just he was just sitting. I know, you've
never got a foul ball. He's just sitting in the stands.
Third inning, Anthony Santander at the plate fouls one off
ball goes up, lands right at his feet. Didn't even
have to move. He just picks it up, takes it,
throws it back in the stands. But the other thing
that was going on apparently during God Bless America when
everyone was standing up enjoying, showing their patriotism, bad money scene,
(25:46):
just sitting there, not making a move. So we got
a lot of attention on that, especially over the controversy
on you know, the conservative side over his appearance at
the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Super Bowl halftime shows. So what do you think midweek
or major? This is major?
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Really is?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I got kind of edit myself. I don't want to
come across like Eric Dickerson here because he went on
a rant. How does he not stand he's performing at
the super Bowl, right, This is one of the most
American things we have and he's not standing for the
national anthem. He's too cool for that. I don't know.
I think that's sin of rough people the way God
(26:21):
bless America. Still, he wasn't standing, okay and snag the
foul ball. He snagged nothing. And I'm not hating on
bad money. I hope he does great. But he snagged nothing.
He was kind of like eh, and it sort of
feil and he picked it up. I snagged nothing. He
didn't counts. He got lucky there. But I do think
it's a bad look. I think if you're trying to
(26:43):
unite the country and we're trying to have a great time,
we're trying to enjoy the super Bowl. There's already a
lot of criticism there. It's gonna hurt you to stand up.
You're at the game, everybody's watching, everybody knows you're there,
stand up and sing along. I think I agree. I
think this is major agree with can be on every front.
So to be honest, if you want to just move along,
I agree that he didn't even snag a fly foul ball.
(27:05):
He picked up a ball to fell on the floor. Difference,
And honestly, like I just think it's in bad taste
politic politics aside, like stand up for the anthem of
beerspack for you're a citizen. You're a citizen, let's go
do isn't that the thing?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He is a citizen, so you know, And now I'm
not hating on the guy at all. I'm excited for
his performance. I don't think it's a I don't think
it's gonna help him. I think it's a positive. Right,
it was a yeah, like in that moment, kind of
a bad look. It's not a uniting type of look, right,
all right.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Newsbroke today Connor McGregor stuck on the sidelines after an
eighteenth month suspension by the Combat Sports Anti Doping which
works with the UFC, and the reason he just basically
didn't show up. He goes to three scheduled drug tests.
So McGregor missed test in June and September of twenty
twenty four, and while he owned up to it, the
(27:51):
penalty still stands technically could have been worse. He got
six months shaved off for accepting responsibility. His suspension suspension
officially runs from September twentieth, twenty twenty four, to March twentieth,
twenty twenty six, which means he will be able to
appear at the official White House UFC celebration in June
(28:11):
of twenty twenty six, of which everybody is anticipating.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So midweek or major? What do you mean appear like
in the in the octagon or like in the stands?
He didn't. You've got Aaron Judge on your mind. He
said that it gets backdated, so that year and a
half actually ends before the White House thing. You know
I'd be able to participate, so he's able to press. Yeah, okay,
I wasn't sure about that when I originally read the
(28:34):
story of my participate. I think he's a dope. I
really do. I don't know how you missed these appointments.
If UFC and fighting again as your priority, but if
that still means we get to see him at this
big event, I'm okay with it. So this is major
because you don't want to have this big event without
big names like Conor McGregor. Yeah, I think it's mid
(28:54):
because I think either way, Donald Trump on his eightieth
birthday would have been like I pardon him, whatever that
would mean, But I think he would have made it
happen anyway. So, I mean, I do think you need
another puff. Daddy also wants a part of headlining a
co headlining fight. I think you need that. The fact
that he's available for this because he already made the
announcement that has signed and done is a done deal.
(29:15):
I think this major. Yeah, we didn't want to risk
him not being there, all right.
Speaker 11 (29:19):
The NC DOUBLEA officially approved a proposal that lets Division
one athletes and staff bet on professional sports bet bet
so yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So.
Speaker 11 (29:29):
Historically student athletes have been banned from engaging in sports
betting at any level, professional, college or amateur, for any
sports that have championships. But the NC DOUBLEA is saying
go ahead. They're framing it as integrity protection and healthy
habits somehow in order for the proposal to go through,
though it would need to.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Go for approval through Division two and three.
Speaker 11 (29:50):
The potential shift comes amid growing number of alleged betting
violations and student athletes over the previous years. A lot
of huge scandals have come out of that, so you're
trying to avoid that. Of course, fans are scratching their heads, like,
how can they let athletes participate in this? It's definitely
conflict of interest midweek or major. See.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I'll say mid because gambling has become such a major,
mainstream part of even what we do, right, So I
don't want to double talk and say this is terrible
meanwhile and sign up for this and that here on
our show and use code Covino and Rich. But to
promote this to student athletes, not just athletes student athletes
to me is a little I don't know, a little interesting.
(30:31):
How about that for a good choice of words? Because
shouldn't we be teaching them financial responsibility?
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I think this is This is major because list slippery slope.
Gambling is not for all right, I mean, like gambling,
we've taken it. We went from gambling is the devil
to hey, every grown up though, Rich, I know, That's
what I'm saying, like a responsible where they pray on
college kids, Hey, sign up for this credit card with
a twenty four percent interest rate for a beach talent.
I think I still have one. I mean so, I
mean like they pray on dumb kids, like you know,
(30:58):
how many college kids are gonna get gambling trouble? That's
why you know, when you're an adult listening to Fox
or ESPN or any network. You can handle gambling and
do an old parlay or something because you're grown up.
These kids are the dummies that sign up, like I said,
for credit cards and things. They don't know the ramification.
We'll say this respectfully. It feels you're responsible and because
they're athletes, like it's just a bad slippery slope. That's it.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
If they're doing it anyway, though, is it better that
it's now just sanctioned?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I guess it's truehibbit. Like I said, teach them financial responsibility.
Don't make it okay? Well, thank you, Spotty. Save all
your other stories for someone else. Let's got a damn
buy for an update, dB, what's.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Going on man, guys?
Speaker 7 (31:37):
In the American League Divisional Series, there will be a
Game five.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
All the film HiT's team, It's got a chance and
it's gone round.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Wow, have a day, Holly Bias two run shots seven
three Tigers in the sixth.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
It was all part of nine unanswered runs by the Tigers,
scoring seven times in the fifth and sixth. Then Tigers
win today over the Mariners nine to three, win Game
four to force a Game five in Seattle on Friday.
Mariners are going to wait to name their starter. You
know who the Tigers are going with, Trek Scoober will
get the ball coming up on Friday.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Oh, I thought it was that. Is that Adam Aman,
Adam Aman, Adam Iman, I'm Adam Amin. Yeah, he's great.
Another great barks.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Yeah, this is Tiger's radio network on the call with
that highlight, but the year call too.
Speaker 8 (32:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
Cubs are on top of the Brewers four to two
right now heading to the bottom of the fourth inning
at Wrigley Brewers had two runners on base, however, not
able to do anything with it right now. So it's
four to two, Cubs on top of the Brewers at
Wrigley Brewers up two zero in that series. Jays and
Yankees about to get underway on Fox Sports one just
after the top of the hour. Philly's and Dodgers nine
(32:47):
o'clock Eastern time tonight in their Game three in the
National League. According to a report from The Guardian, at
North Carolina, head football coach Bill Belichick has been in
talks with the school about his buyout options, as he
could be on the verge of leaving the school. Sport
says assistant coaches have already ready reached out to other schools,
with Belichick looking for another landing spot, either in media
or with another team. Even More, The Guardian reports that
(33:09):
sources were quoted as saying Belichick has been weird and
distant the past few weeks, and some assistant coaches have
been unable to reach him during the team's bye week.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
This bad man, Yes, it really is. It's not good.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
Bellichieks Bengals in goa Zack Taylor named Joe Flack was
the team starting quarterback for their game Sunday against the Packers.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
The opponent had something to do with it.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
He's played Green Bay this year, so he's already gone
through a week of prep.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Now, the communication and the weekly rhythm is maybe different, unique,
but he's already prepared for this opponent.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
So Flacco is going to get the start for Cincinnati.
His former team, the Brons, they haven't decided who their
backup is going to be. It'll either be sad or
Sanders or Bailey Zappi. No practice for Lamar Jackson of
the Ravens, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray or forty nine Ers
quarterback Brock Purdy, and Bucks forward Giannis Detakoumpo says he's
committed to the team. Now that the season is underway, guys,
back to you, Thank you, dB, And that's a great update.
(34:03):
And you know, Hobby Baya is at the big home run.
Just so much excitement.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
We can't hear what's going on, but we could see
what's going on. It's just electric this postseason. Ratings are
up across the board, attendance to everything, lots of big moments,
a great a great year for baseball. All right, hey, listen,
there's a story in the NBA. I know we're talking
so much football and we're talking so much baseball. NBA
right around the corner, right, and there's a story and
(34:31):
it has to do with one of the big emerging
stars in basketball. And it has to do it growing
and still growing and still growing. We'll explain next right
here on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back to the Showgram program.
So pumped for tonight, man, what times your games on

Has she ever like demanded like that, you need to

get at e. Yeah, I tried to beat it. I
(35:17):
was like, was that Michael Jackson song? Yeah, beat it?
I got time for that, Live from the Fox Sports
Radio Studio. Business fluctuations make running your manufacturing business complex,
but staffing your business doesn't have to be. Let Express
Employment Pros provide the workforce you need. Go to expresspros
dot com, find a location near you that's Expresspros dot
com and rich Yeah, buddy. On a sad note, I
(35:41):
just want to throw this out there. You know, I'm
a fight fan. Yea artro Gotti's teenage son passed away
at the age of seventeen, and they found him in
an eerily situation, like same situation that they found his
dad in when his dad died. So seventeen year old
kid and promising boxer died and the story's developing. So
(36:02):
just throwing that out there. If you're a fight fan,
you remember all the joy that our Toro gott he
brought you some of those legendary battles. Oh, by the way,
not to downplay that terrible story. No, it's fine. It's
just a developing story that's just breaking in the past hour.
So I have a retraction. Your Yankee game starts in
seventeen minutes oh seven eight Eastern, four eight Pacific, So
(36:27):
we get out of here and like you know, five
to ten minutes, you're gonna have to listen to the
first inning or so on the radio as you drive
your daughter around anywhere she wants to go. Dad, I
want to Starbucks, Dad, drop me a cheerleading dad.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
And then Dodgers at six oh eight pm our time
on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Now, I hope all your teams win. We'll talk about
it tomorrow and we'll also do a little old school
in fifty hits. We reminisce on Thursdays, so join us tomorrow.
But you did a little NBA t so you got
to give some little payoff.
Speaker 8 (36:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
No, I was saying, there's a this is a story.
Maybe we can continue tomorrow, and it has to do
with growing a few inches. Whoa, that's what she said.
Now you've heard these stories before, Danny. I'm sure you
said you were versed in the NBA world than we are.
You always hear these stories. If some of these guys
that are NBA stars went to college six to one
(37:19):
and somehow sophomore year or you know, middle of college
a just or junior senior ye year one summer. Yeah,
they just yeah, exactly. My the rookies in the NBA
still growing. My wife always tells a story about her cousin,
who I know is like some thirty year old beast
who's like six six. They're like, oh, yo, cousin. You
(37:42):
know Charles, he was uh, he was like five ten,
went to college and all of a sudden they called
them Pip squeak. Yeah, all Pip squeak. And just when
you thought this guy couldn't get any more big and
dominant because he is starting to fill out. And as
you know, when some of these big lanky guys start
filling out, they become even more dominant. Put a little
muscle mass on, think, you know, they become men. Wemby.
(38:05):
Wemby is now listed in the Spurs Media Guide as
two inches taller. Some placers are saying he went from
seven three to seven to five, and conservatively some are
saying no, no, no, seven three to seven four and
a half. So well, you know how tall he was
when he was a freshman six seven stop six seven.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
And you know what's crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
He's twenty one, and they say it's very rare for
men to grow after the age of twenty two.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
That's what I thought, you know, but I have seen
it in my personal life too. People grow like that.
So many questions here, But you think the guy is
big enough and he can't get any better. Wimbin Yama
just grew two inches in the off season. Oh what
the hell? He must be wearing height increasing nikes.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
He looked like a giraffe when I saw him at
that NBA event we went to in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It's unbelievable, Like we Cavino, you joked about something Cavino goes.
You ever think a guy like Wemby will try to
master some unconventional play because he's so long and tall.
That what if he just took off from the three
three point line and almost did like almost a finger
roll because he could probably jump like almost so far
(39:16):
that like or like some type of little pump fake
move where it's a three pointer. Because no one has
his size, it would be no one has his size
and agility. No one's ever been seven to five that
has three point finger roll. It's coming soon and I
said it first. Yeah. Wait, he's still growing as possible.
His arms are gonna stretch out like Michael Jordan. What
(39:37):
he's saying is that if Michael Jordan could slam from
this year, if Michael Jordan could slam from the free
throw line, Wemby could do some type of finger roll
or short range like uh like floater, floater or something. Yeah. Well,
maybe we'll talk more about it tomorrow, but props to him.
He's still growing. We're Cavino and Rich. Enjoy the rest
(39:58):
of your games tonight. Baby, you in the Promised Land.
Go Yankee, Go Dodgers.
