[Covino]

Yes, Friday. Is that your Adam Sandler?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Happy Gilmore, I eat pieces of like you for breakfast. Kavina.

[Covino]

Oh, yes, you eat pieces of for breakfast. It's a Happy Gilmore Friday. We're just happy it's Friday. How about that?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Covino]

It's been a tough week. Seriously. Lots of ups and downs, emotional roller coasters. This week, all of our heroes, our childhood heroes took a major hit. So let's enjoy the weekend the best we can. Enjoy some sports, enjoy some games. Let's enjoy the show.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, brother.

[Covino]

I'm with you, brother.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Doing it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, brother. And you know, I was telling my wife, I said, with the passing of the Hulkster, Ozzy Osbourne, Malcolm Jamal Warner, if you're a kid in the 80s or 90s, a part of your childhood died this week. And I don't think this could have lined up better. As far as Happy Gilmore 2 released today. Like, we need some like, like really good nostalgia. We almost need this laugh tonight, to be honest. Like, it's the perfect time for this.

[Covino]

You need to be released. I think this is what we're looking for. Light laughers, light laugh. You need a little Shooter McGavin in your life. Who, by the way, in my opinion, has done the most to promote this movie, the best to promote this movie.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Dan Byer is a big golf guy. I'm sure he's seen it. Did you see my dude, Jeff McNeil on the Mets did a whole bit golfing against Shooter at Citi Field.

[Covino]

I did not. I missed this. It's worth the watch.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Like at the end he makes Jeff McNeil do an obstructed shot like Happy and it goes off like Mr. Met's head off the dugout and everything. It's great. This movie's been promoted wonderfully. Our pal Dan Patrick and of course, the Sandman they're good friends. He's, I imagine, a cameo in the movie from dp. I'm excited to watch it tonight, which is why I want to lead with this question.

[Covino]

Oh, boy. Let's hear it. And by the way, we're going to get to NBA.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's a LeBron story.

[Covino]

NFL.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I saw the stat that yesterday, I didn't realize was the last Thursday until February without some type of football.

[Covino]

Like 41 days until the season.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, buddy.

[Covino]

I want to say hello to Danny G. I know he's pumped for the weekend. That's right. Happy Friday. Yeah, yeah. Happy Humor Friday. And I was Samuel on the buttons. That's a good one. And it's great to see DB Spotty's on the videos. The birthday boy. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, Spot. Hey, buddy. It's his birthday weekend. More reason to celebrate. He's on the videos at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. You can follow the live stream on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. We'll be giving away prizes today. We'll give you some weekend hobnobbin. But what do you want to start with, buddy boy?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, I want to apologize to Spot. It didn't go as planned. We were going to have Iowa Sam jump out of a cake yesterday in a Speedo, but it was a little crazy around here, so my apologies. That's fine.

[Covino]

We had the Speedo. We just didn't have the cake. Was that like. Like, like under siege?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes, exactly like under siege. And I want to welcome Soto, not Juan Soto, the other Soto, to the New York Mets, relief pitcher from the Orioles. And I saw McMahon is now a Yankee. As the trade deadline approaches, teams are.

[Covino]

Making you better believe. I went to the Baseball Reference just to see what that jabroni is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Gregory Soto, the Mets lefty specialist now. And then, of course, you have a third baseman. Are you happy about this or what?

[Covino]

I mean, anything's better than Paraza. That guy stinks. Little Leaguers better than that guy. And I say that respectfully. Cause I'm a Yankees fan. I say that with love. But yeah, I had to do the search, the research, the reference. I hit up my guy Elias from the sports bureau.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How's he doing?

[Covino]

His batting average is.217. Elias is great. He says hello, but he's a.217 batting average kind of guy. So he's, believe it or not, a step up. But he also has 16 home runs and he's a lefty bat. And it's not about the offense. It's about the defense, the Yankees biggest complaint is how terrible they are in the field. He's like a gold glove. They're caliber third baseman.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So the Yankees infield the suspect. But I want to get to my Happy Gilmore lead today. But I, but I will say on the baseball tip, baseball's hot, baseball's back, baseball's awesome.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All that said, I saw a stat just to show how it's such a home run game now it's such an extra base hit type of game. Small ball is a thing of the past. There's not one team in baseball right now that's batting over.260 as a team. And I believe it's the first season it's ever happened. You saw the stats dwindling year by year. But right now there is not one team in Major League Baseball that has a team batting average that hits.260.

[Covino]

Yeah, it's pathetic. It's weird.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's a different game, bro.

[Covino]

Yeah, it's a different game, but I'll take that average any day over home runs. That's the problem with guys like Anthony Volpe, a Rod who I respect. I have great respect for a Rod as a baseball expert and player. Yeah, he's like, dude, I will trade in all his home runs for a solid.280 batting average, maybe 10 home runs and 60 something RBIs. You got to get back to that because you got to get on base. You can't rely on dudes like Volpe to be hitting home runs all the time. Well, it doesn't work that well. You need a little small ball. Let the big sluggers, the big heads, the big guys, let them do the dirty work.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, it is time. Like you said on a Happy Gilmore Friday, Danny G. Oh, yeah. Before you entered the studio, I was happy to hear that you and your lovely wife Brenda have the same plan as my family does. Go home tonight, pour a drink, I don't know, pop an edible, have a nice dinner, grill up some burgers. Who knows?

[Covino]

Hold on. Danny G. Never said anything about that. Yeah, we got a two year old, we're popping apple juice.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay, well, fair enough. Do what you must. But you said you were gonna watch Happy Gilmore. Yeah, the first one as a little preview, a little foreplay, a little refresher.

[Covino]

By the way, you know what I realized? It's been so long since I've seen Happy Gilmore, even though I've seen it. We've all seen it a hundred times, of course, but it's been a minute. You ever realize that will Sasso's in that movie. Because I saw a clip recently, I'm like, wait a second, is that Will Sasso? I had to go to the IMDb from Mad TV. He was the move.

[Ryan Seacrest]

One of the movers.

[Covino]

He was one of the movers. Like I don't know if it ever really dawned on me or registered that or at the time, yeah, that was like Mad TV was going on at that time. I'm like, Will Sasso was in it. I forgot all about that. He was also in Beverly Hills Ninja.

[Ryan Seacrest]

There was a lot of stars, maybe before their time as well, like Julie Bowen, who I think is gorgeous and super talented. Modern Family. She's in the second one. But that was a young Julie Bowen, as was it Virginia Vennett. So I say watch the first one.

[Covino]

It was Veronica Vaughn. It was Vicki Valancourt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know that, right? That every girlfriend in a Sandler movie is VV Vicky Van Gourt.

[Covino]

So, so hot. One, two, Touch the honey.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's Veronica.

[Covino]

That's Veronica Monty. Two movies.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Here's the question for the Fox Sports Radio Nation. I get way deep. You know, this is the hard hitting stuff Kavino Rich brings you. Do you know one person that doesn't plan on watching Happy Gilmore too? I can only imagine. Netflix.

[Covino]

My mom.

[Ryan Seacrest]

She won't.

[Covino]

Hell no, she won't watch that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay, there's your answer.

[Covino]

Yeah, but my mom's mom. 71.

[Ryan Seacrest]

My mom is 70 and she will watch.

[Covino]

She's a different type of lady.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Happy Gilmore probably reminds my mom of when her kids were not 40. When her kids were 12.

[Covino]

My mom would never watch that. I. It's one of those movies like, please mom, just watch it. This is stupid. Yeah, she's one of those. So she didn't watch the originally. Did she watch that? But I'm not like, I don't think she necessarily counts in this conversation.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay, let's leave out 70 year old mom.

[Covino]

Exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hold on.

[Covino]

If you, if you ask your mom to watch this, this is what she would say. Gold jacket, green jacket. Who gives a. Exactly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the response.

[Covino]

My mom's the type to say, why don't you watch something classic like Angels with Dirty Faces? How about the Maltese Falcon? How about something with James Cagney? Like she'll want to take it to that route. Come on, mom. How about Billy Madison? How about Happy Gilmore? There's no way. But I gave you the one. But I don't think that's like an appropriate answer. I still think that your point rings true.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So eliminate 70 year old moms from the conversation.

[Covino]

You're in our world now, grandma. Yeah, who watches what Turner Movie Classics? I don't know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you know any, let's just say contemporary friend, coworker, guy in your softball team, guy on your bowling team, the. The guy at the gym. Could you imagine anyone saying, yeah, I'll pass? I feel like this is going to be universally watched. There's going to be critics that are like, oh, it stinks. It's not as good as the first one. Of course that happens every time. But I can't imagine someone on a Friday, Saturday night, end of summer, late night hits. You go in the house, you know, lay down to go to bed. Like I said, pour a drink, pop something. You don't think people, everyone's going to watch this movie.

[Covino]

It's definitely something like you said we need on this heavy hearted sort of weekend. We could put your feet up, enjoy a cocktail. I just, just relax and have a good cheap laugh. I feel like it feels perfect. So even if you were on the fence about it, I think it's a great idea. After you're done with your team, after you're done throwing out the trash, you put your feet up and enjoy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

After I watch the Mets beat the Giants tonight and Danny will like that. Rich, what are you popping in there? Some of those little cans.

[Covino]

What's that little can looks so tiny in your hands. Over.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I feel like a giant. Sam, you're like Andre the Giant holding a beer can. Those little Starbucks espresso cans.

[Covino]

We know because you had one earlier this week and we were worried about your mental state.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Let me tell you something. When you hold one of these, that's how Andre the Giant felt holding a beer can. Honestly, I feel like a giant. You ever see that Jim Jeffries bit? I'm a giant, Kate.

[Covino]

Yeah, like a giant. How about you focus? You're all caffeine cooked out of your gourd over there. Seriously, you're talking about relaxing. This guy spinning in his chair right now, high on caffeine.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I got two little kids.

[Covino]

Do you ever chill?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I gotta get them to bed before I even think about. Yeah, but you realize you just take.

[Covino]

A mile a minute. You don't even need that caffeine. I know. Like he just took his first sip. Meanwhile, like he can't stop. This guy's bouncing around talking about relaxing later. There's no relaxing with this dude. Relaxing. I never see him relax that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

By the way, Sam, you recorded me coming into the studio.

[Rich]

Meep, meep.

[Covino]

It's like absurd just leaves absurd a cloud of dust behind him. It really is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, so, but don't let your question. Yeah, don't let my ramblings confuse you.

[Covino]

To answer your question. The question is, do I really, like, know anybody? How about this? How about we make a statement instead of asking a goofy question? You're a lame O and you're not my friend. You're the type of person I don't want to hang with. Unless, of course, you're my mom. If you're not sitting back and enjoying a cheap laugh. Tonight, courtesy of Happy Gilmore, the long awaited, like, it's almost like the comeback of an old friend you haven't seen in a long time. You don't want to see him and Shooter McGavin one more time. Come on. You're a lame O if you're not watching, period.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Now even a guy that I respect, that is quote, not a movie guy. I feel like Dan Byer even throws this movie on. Dan Byer's a golf guy.

[Covino]

Is that true?

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're a golf guy. You're not a movie guy, But I can imagine you'll throw this on you.

[Covino]

You would think. You would think. Instead, tonight me and my wife will sit back and be watching Casablanca together, just like Covino's mom, enjoying just some of the class. You know what? Because we're a little more highbrow than everyone else. You know what my mom's saying right now? I knew I loved Dan Beyer. That's why I love a classic like Casablanca on a Friday night. She's going to send me a list of things that she recommends to you. Okay?

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Has Dan ever seen this Cagney movie?

[Covino]

Right. I'll tell you what, I will watch it. There's going to be cameos from PGA Tour players. I think that it is a great way, especially now. Like there's, this is like a three day window because as you said last Thursday, without pro or college football until the new year. Like there's like, this is the opportunity now. Schools are going to be starting like in a couple of weeks. Like some start the first or second week of August. It's crazy as it is. So there's going to be that. So at some point I will check it out. I don't know if it'll be tonight, but yes, I will be watching Happy Gilmore too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, Dan Beyer, today a big day in the golf cinema world because it was on this day. I'm fun fat guy. You know this. In 1980, Caddyshack came out on this day.

[Covino]

Yeah. Just saw it. Yes. 45 years ago.

[Ryan Seacrest]

45 years ago today, Caddyshack and today, Gilmore part two. Can't wait.

[Covino]

But here's the thing. I think everybody needs to check their brain at the door. Don't expect a classic. These aren't the type of movies that rotten potato gives 100% to. Right. You go there, sit down, and just enjoy for what it is. Yeah. They can't. They can't steal our childhood type joy. Yeah. And it's not gon not about outdoing the first one. It's about recapturing the nostalgia of the first one. It's just stupid fun. I haven't seen it yet. I haven't heard a real reaction yet from someone I respect, but I have seen some clips. I saw Bed Bunny and Travis Kelsey. I've seen that floating around.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't want.

[Covino]

Dan said there's a lot of great cameos.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't want to give it away, but I have seen. I'll just say a classic hip hop artist makes a cameo that I was.

[Covino]

Like, oh, look at him. And I understand the premise at least. And that's old news. Right. I'm not giving away the plot. And if say that, I'm pretty sure it's about Happy Gilmore down on his luck financially, and he needs to send.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, he needs to send, I think in the preview, which in the first 10 seconds, he has to send his daughter to an overpriced, like, ballet college or something. He's like, but I got no money.

[Covino]

Right. So do you guys want to take a quick guess at what the critics are rating it versus the fans? It's got to be low. I don't think there's ever been a Sandler movie that was critically acclaimed. Can I just. Before we do that, can I say that I tried to get through Hubie Halloween, which was a Netflix Adam Sandler movie. It had a ton of cameos, just like Happy Gilmore 2. And that was a rough watch. I'm not. I'm gonna be honest. That's a family tradition for me. I love it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Halloween is upon us.

[Covino]

It was like, first 20 minutes was really funny, and then I'm like, I can't do it. So he has a bit of a history with Netflix movies. Maybe not doing so great, but I am going to watch this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know what? I believe Dan Patrick's in that one.

[Covino]

Yes, he is. He's in.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's in that, like, school room, Auditorium.

[Covino]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know what Kavino and I, I think, joked about that we loved it because it was so over the top. Ridiculous. Kevin James is in that too. QB Halloween.

[Covino]

Yeah, there' like every SNL cast member makes an appearance, but you're like, it just got so ridiculous again.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Check your brain at the door. My guest, Danny G. Is that tomato meter. The fans are giving it popcorn meter. I feel like the popcorn meter with the fans. You're getting a pretty solid 70, 80 something percent.

[Covino]

Wow. Good guess.

[Ryan Seacrest]

74% and rotten potatoes. The critics who I roll my eyes at give it like 31%, 58%.

[Covino]

Oh, wow. Not bad.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Not too shabby.

[Covino]

You're at passing level, I guess.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Almost there.

[Covino]

You know, someone's gonna say this was a double bogey for me. This just did not just. That's what so it also an old movie critic, I think sounds like.

[Ryan Seacrest]

By the way, Dan by you said the cameos from actual PGA Tour players. You saw that in Stick, another golf show that I keep trying to push on. You do. I'm pushing Owen Wilson and Mark Marin on.

[Covino]

You say that because speaking of Happy Gilmore and Stick. And this weekend, every Friday, we get into weekend hobnobbing. So before the end of the show, we'll give you other things you need to watch so that you know what to talk about. You know, what's going on come Monday. Because there's more to life, believe it or not, then, oh, Happy Gilmore.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you think that the cameo and the appearances from Kelsey in this movie will. What's the word? Ingratiate himself more to the football and pop culture audiences? Like, man, this guy's just awesome. Like, I saw a clip from Drew Bledsoe, who I know you always feel bad for. Do you know? I know you feel like he got the raw deal. People love to say Wally Pip, but he. He got Tom Brady. Drew Bledsoe. Yeah. You know, Drew Bledsoe was supposed to be Brett Favre and something about Mary.

[Covino]

Yes, I did know that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Did you see that clip recently? Floating around like, he admitted that in an interview. Originally, they wanted Steve Young, but Steve Young, because remember the movie Something about Mary takes place in the Bay Area, and it was gonna be Steve Young, but he was like too much of a good Mormon guy to be part of a hard R comedy. They tried to go to Bledsoe and Bledsoe was trying to get his bad boy act together. So he's like, yeah, no thanks. And they went with Favre.

[Covino]

What the hell is Brett Favre doing here? Did you know that Sea Bass kick his ass. C. Bass was supposed to be Roger Clemens. I didn't know that was a hockey player up until, like a year ago.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, Cam Neely, but that's another fun fact.

[Covino]

Oh, he would have been. Roger Clemens would have been great.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Can I tell you, it's.

[Covino]

At least that's the rumor.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think we could end the show right now and you've already learned enough. Clemens was supposed to be CBEs, and Drew Bledsoe was supposed to be in Something About Mary. Good night. Good night.

[Covino]

Hey, have a good weekend, everybody. You've learned enough today. Have a great weekend. Later.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right, well, listen, there is a lot of stuff we're going to get to on today's show. We're going to have a lot of fun. It's a Friday. A Happy Gilmore Friday. Today's Friday. We're going to talk some baseball. Trade deadlines coming up. And I think the big question is, if you know, something bothers someone, isn't that your invitation to just continue to bust their huevos?

[Covino]

Absolutely.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because there is an NBA superstar that didn't get this memoir. If something really bothered me, a nickname, a joke or something. Do you realize that if I harped on it, you guys would just make fun of it more?

[Covino]

That's how mocking people, picking on someone, bullying works. You find the soft spot, you find the button, and you lean into it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like McFly. Biff knew that. Chicken.

[Covino]

Oh, got to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

McFly.

[Covino]

Nobody. Nobody calls me chicken. Yeah, like once you find that hot spot, that hot button, a bully or a friend who just wants to, you know, give it to you. Chicken. Give you the business. Calls me chicken. Yeah, you want to give him the business. If you realize that it bothers him, you lean into it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So let's just say 69 offense.

[Covino]

He was giving them the business.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, you give him the business. And you know what? There's an NBA super superstar, you might have heard of him, LeBron James, who is making a foolish mistake by leaning into something. We'll explain what that is.

[Covino]

So is it a lame move by LeBron, or do you understand? Because he's trying to sue AI. Yeah, well, who is that?

[Ryan Seacrest]

We'll get into that.

[Covino]

Iverson. What did he do?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, some basketball, some football. 41 days away, and of course, trade deadline in baseball. So a lot of fun coming up right here. Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Covino]

[Ryan Seacrest]

I promise you the show stick on Apple TV is not paying me, but they all were Travis Matthew on the show.

[Covino]

I mean, because it is, it's synonymous with golf, but now it's more synonymous with quality. If you like quality clothing, you work hard, you want to look nice. You're at that stage of life like we are, where you don't want to dress too young, but you don't want to dress like an old guy. You just want to dress nice. You know, just be confident that Travis Matthew has you covered.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I know you and I had to do some videos for the show afterwards, so I said, you know what, let me wear something nice. I put on the Travis Matthew featherweight jeans. Even on a summer day, they're so lightweight, you don't even feel like you're wearing pants. I feel pants less right now. So the featherweight pants, the polo shirts, they got the sneakers, the shoes, the T shirts, like they could be your only layer that could be your underneath layer. So dress it up if you want. All at Travis Matthew. And here's the deal going on right now. If you Visit the website travismathieu.com, you receive 20% off your first order when you sign up for the email.

[Covino]

CNR Magic Pilot I didn't know pilot sang this 1974 Iowa Sam with the Jam by the way, it's Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio Iowa Sam Danny G. Super producing as always. 87799 on Fox we got DB. It's good to see DB and spot the birthday boys his birthday weekend. Got the video Going. Remember, we stream all the time on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Our bonus podcast is there. So enjoy the show, enjoy the feedback. Hit us up at 87799 on Fox. So we're gonna give away prizes. Chipotle worker or WNBA player? We got weekend hobnobbing. But this LeBron story, we touched on it briefly yesterday. Remember, you can catch the podcast wherever you stream your podcast. COVINO and Rich LeBron has this video that's gone viral. There's several versions of pregnant LeBron. Pregnant LeBron. So I don't know what version or image or AI video you saw, but there's one FA famous. It came out like in a few days ago, but it has gone viral to the point where it's like, well, that was weird. LeBron is pregnant.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The one with Hardin?

[Covino]

Yeah. And he has a baby and it's him and Curry's baby.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, it's going to be a psychoplayer. So Leon's like, ah, he's got pregnant.

[Covino]

Belly and it looks all real cuz it's AI. And Steph Curry's there and he's apparently the father. But the baby comes out and it has a full beard and they're like, oh, why does it look like James Harden? And James Harden laughs like Kawhi Leonard, which is weird. And he's like. And like, oh, he had, he didn't have Curry's baby, he had Harden's baby. So then all this pregnant LeBron thing started to snowball. Pregnant LeBron. Pregnant LeBron. And I mentioned yesterday, like, I understand why he wants to squash it. Because you don't want anything to be a Jordan cry face. Anytime you poke at legends, I kind of don't like it because it takes away from their legacy a little bit. Like, although crying Jordan is funny, it really isn't for me. Like, respect the guy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you not like, combine Tom Brady?

[Covino]

I think that's notified though. Yeah. That's not even close to memeification level.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's true.

[Covino]

Like crying Jordan is very insulting to me because I'm like, yeah, that's a goat you're picking on here. You like, you got to lay off a little bit. But then again, Jordan is not LeBron. Right? LeBron has made a lot of questionable choices in his career. He's still a goat. I'm not saying anything bad, but the whole sentiment now is rich. Of all the things and all the stories that LeBron could have came back on or came out on, why is it this one that bothers him the most? Because apparently, because of this and the potential of this escalating and getting bigger, he's suing AI. Now, that's weird in itself because, like, well, who's the mastermind behind AI? One robot? No, there is one specific company. It's called InterLink AI. But it's not the only one. No, I guess it's the company that he pinpointed that's behind this wave of generated deepfakes. But when you do something like that, you're telling the world that it bothers you. So what's gonna happen now? As a result, More and more pregnant LeBron memes, guaranteed, such as life. Because the minute someone knows your hot button, if they really want to get your goat, grind your goat, grind your gears, whatever the saying is, they're gonna lean into that every time just to piss you off. That's how life works.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's what guys, let's be honest. It's the. It's one of the. One of the pillars of just ball busting amongst guys like Covino. We did a show once, and this is a name drop. We did a show once from Henry Winkler's house.

[Covino]

Oh, hi.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The Fonz.

[Covino]

Hi.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Our first show in la.

[Covino]

Hi.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Henry Winkler goes, why don't you come to my house and do the show?

[Covino]

Wowie. Zowie.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And he was for real. So we actually went to the Fonz's house.

[Covino]

And by the way, if you remember, remember, he did the same thing with Patrick Mahomes, so we knew he meant it. Remember when he said to Patrick Mahomes, oh my God, oh my God, you have a spot at my table anytime. He said that to us, and we took him up on it. So he means it. If he welcomed our stupid show to his home, you know he'd welcome Mahomes anytime.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So we have a classic photo where Kavina's sitting at Henry Winkler's table. And he looks like. Like, what's the guy from Big Pussy Pastori from the Sopranos. Remember that guy?

[Covino]

I look like Bobby Buckalow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He looks like a. He looks like Covino ate Covino, but he has a De Niro face. Like.

[Covino]

Well, he called me mid shot. They took a photo of me mid shot. I was eating a bagel. Henry Winkler presented like a whole little breakfast feast. And I was eating bagel and ball. And all of a sudden Spidey goes, hey, smile. And I turn around like, hey. Oh, I look like such a slob in this photo. And the biggest mistake I made was letting the world know that it bothered me People. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If he never said anything, one of.

[Covino]

Our listeners was like, man, what happened to Covino? He's letting himself go. And I'm like. And I got all defensive, like, wait a second. Hold on, hold on. This was a bad photo. I had a tough week, blah, blah, blah. And sure enough, that I never lived it down. And I picture is still taped to your fridge. It still haunts me because I let people know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, that's the. That's the whole point of this conversation. If Covino hadn't said a thing.

[Covino]

Yeah. If I sip my coffee and let everybody have a good laugh, no one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Would have ever talked about that photo again. But because as you're. These are schoolyard antics, your buds. This goes back. You're right. It goes back to the schoolyard. If you made fun of your buddy about something ridiculous, but for some reason you saw that it really bothered him. That's what you.

[Covino]

Now, that's the one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's what you do when you play ball as a kid. Think about the bus trips in high school sports or in the locker room if one of your buddies, if something stupid bothered him, a nickname, anything.

[Covino]

Because guess what? If it doesn't bother him, you move on to the next thing and it goes away.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's almost something you funny. It's almost something you need to teach your kids. Hey, kids, if something bothers you or.

[Covino]

I'm sorry, by embracing it, that's what makes this the corniest. And it takes the. It takes the effectiveness out of it. That's why this is lame. One of the LAmer missteps of LeBron James, because now the world knows that this bothers him, bothers his image. For whatever reason he's suing. LeBron James has bigger things to do. That part is true. But do you think this might block that company from going next level with another edition of LeBron AI videos? I don't know, because they got a cease. I'm reading here they got a cease and desist from his legal team, so they're going to think twice. Now, the problem is there's users on Twitter and other and I think Instagram as well, who are still circulating this. I think LeBron James focus should be on what he's doing next season, how he's going to win a championship, his farewell tour, you know, his game, staying youthful. Because in the past week we heard about him suing this AI company because he's upset about pregnant LeBron. And in my opinion, this is a speculation. Allegedly the Jeff Teague story, where Jeff Teague Said he was on steroids. He backpedaled so hard. I really do feel that he was threatened in some way by LeBron James legal tape, because he's like, nah, man, I was just kidding. Why is he so sensitive all of a sudden? He made it this long. Finish out your career. Go out on top. Don't let the small things bother you. What's the old saying? Don't sweat the small stuff. Why is he sweating the small stuff?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Don't sweat the petty things. Pet the sweaty things.

[Covino]

Pet the sweaty things.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If you're watching right now, we are streaming this hour live on the fox Sports Radio YouTube channel. There's the picture, Covino De Niro, right next to Henry Winkler.

[Covino]

Even Henry Winkler's laughing at me because I look like a slob in that photo.

[Ryan Seacrest]

My goodness.

[Covino]

Do you see his dog? His dog is in the photo. It's, like, camouflaged in the photo.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, anyway, fox Sports Radio YouTube page if you want to check out.

[Covino]

But again, a misstep. You know why that was a misstep? Because how long ago was that? 10 years now, right? And that picture still haunts me because I let the world know, and I'm a nobody from nowhere, Phil. And I let the world know that it bothered me. So it never goes away. You know what else they did just upset me? There's a version of that photo where they enlarged my head so it looks even worse, like it's Photoshopped, so it's not even real. And people think it's real.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And like, dude, I saw this picture of you, man.

[Covino]

What is that, man? You lost a lot of weight. Your head was, like, three times the size. I'm like, yeah, because that wasn't real, dude. And you know, it haunts me. LeBron James let the world in that he never wants to be a pregnant man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So the lesson to be learned here.

[Covino]

On stage, don't mess with his legacy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The lesson to be learned on Kavino and Rich. If you got little kids, apply this to yourself as well. If something irritates you by letting your buddies and family know, they're not gonna stop. All you're doing is telling them, oh, here's what you could use from this point forward to really get to me. A picture, a nickname, anything. And you've seen it happen. Listen, it happened when you were a kid. Some kid had a funny nickname name. Stop calling me that.

[Covino]

There it is. You just earned it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We're calling him Bunk Big Head.

[Covino]

Yeah, you're Bonk now because you got a big, giant cabeza.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So I hate when you call me that. Stop it.

[Covino]

I can't run from Big Apple Sam. And I'm not going to. Yeah, but you know what, though? It'll eventually die out. Maybe one. But it's fun. It's not like, anything personal. Right. It was me. It was me reacting into. In a text with Dan and Jason and Doug reacting to Pete Alonzo hitting a home run against the Brewers.

[Rich]

Right.

[Covino]

And I said, oh, my God, Paul over Pete. And then everyone started calling me Big Apple Sam.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But see. But I'm like, whatever. You laughed about it.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If you.

[Covino]

At first, I didn't like it. I still don't kind of like it, but I'm not. I don't really care.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But. But if you were like, guys, really irritates me, guys.

[Covino]

You just disrespecting me here at work.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You were calling HR you would only be Big Apple Sam. Yeah, you play. You played it all pretty good.

[Covino]

It would spin wheels in the mud. It would just, you know, go nowhere. So your thoughts is LeBron being a big baby? Because think about the. If he would have just laughed it off, even reposted it like, yo, get a load of this. We would have moved past it and not have ever thought of it again and been like, yeah, that's kind of funny. But the fact that it bothers him. He gave it oxygen. He gave it so much more oxygen. You nailed it, Sam. And now the world. Forget about this company. The world is going to be sharing that left and right because there's so many LeBron haters. And I'm not saying you should be hating on LeBron. I'm just saying. Saying it's going to happen because of who he is. I happen to like LeBron James. I just think he should have let this one go. No doubt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right, well, hey, listen, we're going to get to a bunch of other stuff. Trade deadline. Who's going to make the big moves in baseball? We'll speculate a little bit. And of course, we are 41 days away from the start of the NFL season. We'll talk some NFL. We'll play a game, give away some prizes. All coming up right now. We toss it to Dan Buyer for an update. Db. What's up, buddy?

[Covino]

I will say not to pick out the scat. Sam hates it when we say someone, Iowa Sam to something by giving three nominations when we're going around the room. Hold on, hold on. Then I used it. I used it as a joke a week or two ago, and you loved it. I did. So I. I'm turning the the tide on this one. Favorite 80s TV show. I got four of them for you. I got, I got six written down here. I know we have 18 people on hold, but let me take half of their.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Let me give you my top 10 list.

[Covino]

Yes, that's content creation. All right. I'm here all week, man. A bunch going on in the NFL. The Vikings are going to be without wide receiver Justin Jefferson for a little while, missing practice today and will through the weekend because of a mild hamstring strain. Team says he'll be reevaluated next week. Jets quarterback Justin Fields was on the practice field today. Good news for them as yesterday he had to leave because of a dislocated toe. Falcon signed wide receiver D.J. chark to a deal. Well, the NFL Network says Cowboys tackle Terrence suffered a high ankle sprain in practice but will only miss a few days. Leo Messi is going to miss a match for Inter Miami after he skipped the All Star game earlier this week. Automatic one game suspension so he will not play against FC Cincinnati tomorrow. In baseball, brewers and Marlins tied up at one as they head to the sixth inning in Milwaukee brewers honoring American Family Field, formerly known as Miller park, as it's the 25th anniversary of that stadium. Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Rockies for two minor leaguers. Mets acquired pitcher Gregory Soto from Baltimore for two pitchers. And Dodger shortstop Mookie Betts is in Nashville. Skipper Dave Roberts told reporters today that he'll rejoin the team tomorrow as they play a series in Boston against the Red Sox. Guys, back to you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, DB when you heard about Justin Fields yesterday, weren't you speculating, like, how bad could a toe be? Like, what is the worst case scenario for a toe? Because I'm like, the jets, they give Fields this opportunity and my friend, my first thought was like, it seems like he's not going to miss much.

[Covino]

Well, Adam Schefter did everybody dirty by saying that he left with an apparent lower left leg injury. So we all think the worst, an Achilles injury, especially with the Rogers stuff. And then when you find out what it was, you're like, okay. Then he found out it wasn't his big toe, which actually could cause a problem if it was his big toe, that it wasn't that, then it was just minor.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, it was the piggy that went to the market.

[Covino]

Yeah, it was the piggy that had roast beef.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, okay.

[Covino]

Roast beef toe. He's fine. He's good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He'll be fine in a wheel. He'll be fine of the week. All right. Thank you DB we got more Covino and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Covino]

Hey welcome back Covino and Rich. Fox Sports Radio, the show that's sweeping the nation. How do you like that? I made that up. I know. By the way, we're gonna be filling in. By the way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Is that because they hired you to.

[Covino]

Clean up after the shows? Yeah, exactly. How'd you know? I'm pulling double duty here now. Sweeping up. I got a promotion. Guys you don't even know. Sweeping the studios. And we're also filling in for Colin Cowherd on Thursday, Friday next week. Just make mental note of that that Cavino enriched Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time for our tire rack play of the day. The Mariners had a day yesterday and they acquired Josh Naylor and beat the Angels pitch on the way. Swinging a line shot deep down the left field line.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Has it enough? Yes it is. Goodbye baseball.

[Covino]

A rocket line drive two run home run off the bat of Randy Arose a roll and it's now the Mariners 3, the Angels 1.

[Ryan Seacrest]

One of the most Dangerous postseason players. Randy, in recent time, a Rosa Raina.

[Covino]

I love and hate a Rosa Reina because, well, he's a Yankee killer. So I hate him when he's against the Yankees because he's so good. But I love him when he plays for team Mexico. Remember how he just lit up the WBC? He's so good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, Seattle went on to win 4 2, courtesy of the Mariners radio network. That was the tyrant play of the day. A lot of people think the Mariners might be the second half team to make some noise in the AL. So pay attention to that. And for over 40 years, pay attention because Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Free road hazard protection. Convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com.

[Covino]

The way tire buying should be. So remember, stick around because we're giving away prizes next hour. Chipotle worker or WNBA player. It's our way of getting to know some of the WNBA players to familiarize ourselves with some of the players, the big stars in the league, and shout out one of our favorite spots. Chipotle. Even though I like Cava nowadays, bro, that's my spot. I haven't been.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Never been.

[Covino]

What is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Isn't it like a Mediterranean Chipotle?

[Covino]

Yeah, it's very similar. Nobody knows you guys are talking about those. Those two restaurants are down Ventura Boulevard right next to each other. They're like, what's Cava? Yeah, but Cava is right there. There's a few of them here. That's a big deal. So it's more. You're going over to the right. So we're giving away a Swiggy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It's kind of in the same vein as like you start at the beginning.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And you tell them what you want.

[Covino]

Yeah, very similar. I like that kind of food. Don't be scared, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Check it out.

[Covino]

Hey, and whatever you're munching on this weekend, enjoy some Happy Gilmore. And later on, we're going to tell you what else you need to watch.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I just had a dumb hypothetical. Before we get into some baseball and football 41 days away, you could just say hypothetical. You know what? You're right. I could just say hypothetical. All my hypotheticals are pretty dopey. Danny was telling me there's a video or some type of proof that Steph Curry hit 105 three pointers in a row.

[Covino]

Yeah. During one of his workouts.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That seems.

[Covino]

They taped it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Absurd.

[Covino]

That is insane.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No trickery. 105 threes in a row from Curry in a warmup.

[Covino]

And when I saw that and we were talking to Danny about it before the show, I was like, I don't think there's any three. I can do 105 times consecutively without messing up. 105 times without any slip.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I was.

[Covino]

Five layups.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's. That was my question. My question was, but if I told you, Cavino, million dollars on the line, like, you were selected from the crowd at Staples, right, at Crypto. And they said, all right, we're going to give you 105 chances. Here's the basketball. A simple layup. Do you think even under the most intense pressuring conditions, you'd miss one of those 105 layups? I'm talking. You could just straight up take the ball right up the backboard.

[Covino]

If you get a little gassed, eventually the pressure will get to you. 105, that's. That's tiresome. 105 layups. By 80 something, you're like, all right, yeah, I think you'll miss one man. Could you take Sydney Sweeney on 105 dates in a row? Well, that's a nice way to clean up. The original question, Danny G. Because he.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Said, I'm trying to think of the.

[Covino]

The original question had to do with Sydney Sweeney and would you be up for the moment? And I was like, no, I couldn't. That's how hard, I think 105 times. Of anything. Of anything is. To put it in perspective, do you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Think you could bowl 105 frames of bowling and guarantee that you won't throw a gutter ball? No, I think I can.

[Covino]

I mean, you think you could wear. I think you'd wear out with that as well.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you think if we had a baseball catch, you would miss what, like you would. You would catch 105 ball?

[Covino]

The challenge of the Home Run Derby, right, isn't can they hit home runs? Jazz Chisholm could hit home runs. He has, what, 18, 19. But in that moment, he hit three. Right? Because. Because you got to be built for that. You gotta be poised for that. It's the moment you gotta be. You gotta be. What's the word I'm thinking of?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know, but it's about inside your huge cabasa.

[Covino]

Yeah. It's about the pressure of the moment. Right? So are you willing or able to do that?

[Ryan Seacrest]

But when you talk about that pressure, that's why you see a lot of people.

[Covino]

Oh, oh, I know this. The Home Run Derby. One of the challenges is, are you big and burly enough to power through the exhaustion levels that it takes to continue and carry on to the end of the competition. Like Chisholm not built that way right. So he couldn't really hang. You get tired doing that, dude. Just hitting the batting cages consecutively gets you tired. So that's where I was going with that. You need a low center of gravity you really like you're underestimating 105.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But that's why I'm saying that the fact that this is true just shows you what a trained assassin on the court.

[Covino]

Insane.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, Steph Curry is a robot.

I don't think this video is brand new, but it just came out again.

Over the weekend you see that video where someone asked their wife asked honey, would you rather make out with me or the hottest girl in the world for a million dollars? And the answer is, honey, you're the hottest girl in the world.

[Covino]

The world.
