One day guys.

[Covino]

One day.

[Dan Beyer]

One day.

[Covino]

Visit allstar game.com for tickets. Put it this way, it's nice to be the only show voted in by the fans. Thank you guys. You know what's crazy about it is the fans voted us number one as far as radio shows, but our colleagues voted us ninth. What's that about?

[Dan Beyer]

What is that?

[Covino]

What is that about? What? Does Ben Maller have something on me Gottlieb doesn't like me. What's going on?

[Dan Beyer]

Voted ninth, huh?

[Covino]

Voted ninth by our colleagues.

[Rich Davis]

Dicky V Says it's a travesty.

[Covino]

Is that Clinton Yates and Jorge Sedano bringing down our votes? So, anyway, thank you.

[Dan Beyer]

It really is interesting. We harped on it yesterday, but the fact that Caitlin Clark, number ninth. Number nine. Number nine among her fellow players.

[Covino]

Number one by the fans as far as all star voting. I mean, obviously, you know who had a problem today? Dick Fi tal spoke out about it.

[Dan Beyer]

It's. It's just so wild to think that if it was top four or five, you could make the argument. But nine? Like nine. Yeah. She might not be. She might not be the best player.

[Rich Davis]

Not even ninth overall. Ninth among guards in the.

[Dan Beyer]

What? I'm sorry, what?

[Rich Davis]

Among guards. So she's like well into the 29th.

[Dan Beyer]

Wait, I'm sorry, what?

[Covino]

According to her, she's the ninth best guard.

[Dan Beyer]

You serious?

[Rich Davis]

Yes.

[Dan Beyer]

There are other nine teams.

[Rich Davis]

There's 13 teams.

[Covino]

Here's what she's. And by the way, if you don't care what we have to say about the wnba, and I don't blame you because it's not like we're the experts, but we do. We do watch the highlights.

[Dan Beyer]

More preposterous. Now that you're saying that that would.

[Rich Davis]

Be like top overall. That would be like top nine. It's ninth guard.

[Dan Beyer]

That would be like MLB saying, yeah, Aaron Judge is the 19th best outfielder.

[Covino]

It's such a joke. But here's what Dick Vital said about it today.

[Dan Beyer]

Joke.

[Covino]

Dick Vital tweeted out.

[Dan Beyer]

What are you doing?

[Covino]

Wnbc, dude.

[Dan Beyer]

Duncaroo, baby.

[Covino]

Absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Pure jealousy.

[Covino]

Pure jealousy that the WNBA players voted Caitlin Clark the ninth best guard.

[Dan Beyer]

Wow.

[Covino]

Someday they will realize what she has done for all of the players in the wnba. Chartered planes, increase in salaries, sold out crowds, improved TV ratings. They're expanding the league again. That's from Dick Vital. So who cares what CNR say? That's below absurd. The hatred going on.

[Dan Beyer]

I guarantee if you ask 100 men, if Steve Harvey came here with his mustache and his funny faces and you asked 100 men and women on the street, I don't think they can name nine WNBA players, let alone eight that are better at the point guard position than Caitlin Clark. This is honestly the funniest thing.

[Covino]

That is the greatest example of the pettiness and envious nature of the WNBA Wild. It really is so funny you mentioned. It's the WNBA once again stepping on their own shoelaces. It's so obvious that this is out of jealousy.

[Dan Beyer]

That's really funny.

[Covino]

And some sort of hatred because of the path that she's taken. And there's been a lot of great players that came before her and that are still in the league. I get all that, but I said this to Rich off the air. I said it on our Patreon, actually. It's like Rich and I hating the path of a. Of an Alex Cooper, a call her daddy. Anyone that trailblazes past the normal, regular path. Like, Rich and I have been doing this for over 20 years. Alex Cooper has been broadcasting for 5 years, and she has multiple multimillion dollar contracts. You got to tip your cap to that. Otherwise, you're just jealous and you're a hater. It's as simple as that. Everybody has a different path. Caitlin Clark's is a trailblazing one, and it's clear that the league is not appreciating that or respecting it the way that they should. The fans are the league or the players. Her contemporaries are not.

[Dan Beyer]

We don't need to harp on this. I'm so. I'm so glad that I misunderstood it, because I was saying, oh, ninth overall. All right. I mean, like, I. Top five. I still thought it was crazy nine. Now you're telling me ninth point guard.

[Covino]

Yeah. Ninth guard. Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

If you had a gun to my head, if I was in the pain cave with Wayne and Garth, Was that Wayne and Garth, or was that. Yeah, it was. Right. If I'm in the pain cave and.

[Rich Davis]

I can't get out, what's the pain cave?

[Covino]

Pain cave is just a song they sang, but it's a game we made up.

[Dan Beyer]

We made up a game.

[Covino]

Meanwhile, if you're like. Say you're being tortured in a cave and you had to answer this question correctly.

[Dan Beyer]

And if you didn't, you were stuck in this.

[Covino]

You were tortured in a pain cave.

[Dan Beyer]

I don't remember that ever.

[Rich Davis]

Coming up on the Chanel or the.

[Covino]

Movies, they did a mtv. Rich is just bringing a random joke into the mix here. We have invented a game called the pain Cave.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. This is our own invention, but it's.

[Covino]

Based off of Wayne and Garth sang a song when they hosted MTV called Welcome to my pain cave, and I'll bludgeon you.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't know that.

[Covino]

Yes.

[Dan Beyer]

So if you're in the pain cave and you can't escape. If I told you, like, if I played a song and I'm like, sam, you can't get out of here until you name the artist. And they're like, ah, you're being tortured and you're like, oh, I'll never be out of this pain cave.

[Covino]

Give, give. Let's say you're the jigsaw killer in the pain cave, right?

[Dan Beyer]

Want to play a game?

[Covino]

Ask Sam to play a game that his life would depend on in the world of sports.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay?

[Covino]

Have him name something.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, great.

[Dan Beyer]

In 1986.

[Covino]

1986.

[Dan Beyer]

A year that meant much to Mets fans. Much to Mets fans like me.

[Rich Davis]

Like me.

[Dan Beyer]

What second baseman had a special shuffle when he got up to the bat? Live or die. Now that you're, you're. You're. You're in the pain cave, and unless you know who did a shuffle, you.

[Covino]

Don'T get it right. You get tortured until you die in the pain cave.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know.

[Dan Beyer]

So you would be tortured dead, die in the cave because you didn't know Timmy Tuffle and the shuffle. Yeah, I. If you, If I was in the pain cave, I couldn't name five point guards, let alone eight better than Caitlin Clark. I'd be there being tortured by the pain cave demons.

[Rich Davis]

I'm disappointed. We've done Chipotle worker, WNBA player for almost a year now.

[Covino]

And that's the whole point.

[Rich Davis]

That's the whole point is you can learn the players names.

[Covino]

Hold on. In Rich's defense, he can name more Chipotle workers. So there you have it. That's the update. The update is like, guys like Dick Bog Tal are losing their mind about that.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. And by the way, he should start every tweet with dipsy doo Dunkaroo if he already doesn't. So, Kavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio love that you're hanging with us. I want to start with a story today that is just so funny to me because for every athlete, celebrity, musician, rock star, I guess anyone attended Jeff Bezos wedding over the weekend. If you're of clout and fame, the money's great. I'm sure you're following your dream. But there are downsides to being rich and famous. And Travis Kelsey, who's already a star, one of the best tight ends in the history of the NFL. Dating Taylor Swift. Put that guy from. From. Oh, yeah, he had a reality show. Great tight end Travis Kelsey to household name. Your wife and girlfriend know the name Travis Kelsey. He said there's one big setback with all the fame. Take a listen.

[Rich Davis]

Just the paparazzi. That's probably the only thing I didn't really grasp until. Until you're in it. And that's probably the craziest part, though. Like, I'm just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees, there's a guy with a camera and he's like, oh, I got to go to the restroom now. I can't just go over here and take a.

[Dan Beyer]

So Travis Kelce, the guy can't pee in peace on the golf course. He can't relieve himself on the back nine when, you know, most people could dip away. So it got me thinking. It got me thinking. If you were a rock star, if you were a quarterback, if you were the shortstop of the Yankees, if you were some big time NBA superstar, what.

[Covino]

If you were a guard for the fever.

[Dan Beyer]

You were a guard for the.

[Covino]

Fever, you know, Big time superstar.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. What would be the one part of fame that would bother you the most? What would be the part of fame that you wouldn't be able to handle? And I know the, you know, go to the bathroom in the woods is. Might not be high on your list. It's a funny example of the little things. Like, I always think about celebrities, especially women, because everyone's a vain jerk. How many women celebrities can't even run to Rite Aid or CVS or the supermarket without being done up because some paparazzi takes an unflattering photo? And now people are mocking you on.

[Rich Davis]

The Instagram like Alicia Gray of the Atlanta Dream.

[Dan Beyer]

Who's that? Oh, I'm sorry.

[Rich Davis]

Like Jackie Young of the Aces.

[Covino]

You know what? I think that's one of the top answers. You can't do little errands like that. You can't run to cvs. You can't run to Trader Joe's to target. Just the little things to do your every day because there's going to be cameras up your nose and unflattering photos will surface. And who needs that confidence killer?

[Dan Beyer]

You could do it. Can't pick your nose at a red light dam by. Or you can't just be.

[Covino]

I know. Come on, I would miss you.

[Rich Davis]

Can't. I realized in traffic yesterday too, the sinuses clogged up. I'm like, I can't do it in traffic either. There's 30 people around me.

[Covino]

I can't loogie out the window.

[Rich Davis]

I would say the dinner port. Like to go out to eat. Because I think what the common person thinks is that this person knows they're famous. So they have to know what's coming. If they go out to eat in a public place where that's not necessarily the case. Maybe we just want good food from that place and don't want to eat at Takeout or something like that. And then. So then you would have people coming up to you as you were eating.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. Our buddy Mark was in town. And Spot and I recently went to a hotspot in Hollywood called Craig's, and we told the story briefly. Here we sat at a table next to Angelina Jolie.

[Covino]

By the way, you have to explain that that's a rarity. I mean, you see famous people once in a while in la, but to be sitting next to Angelina Jolie is like, that's ridiculous.

[Dan Beyer]

I usually don't go to those type of swanky restaurants. But our buddy was in town, he's like, let's go check out a spot on me. I was like, I'm down. But throughout the dinner. And that's a fancy place where it's frowned upon to do that stuff. Spot, what was she approach, what, three to four times throughout dinner? And that's a place where it's sort of discouraged. Like, yeah, she's in a fancy place. Don't bother her. So it happens. I can imagine. Dan Byers, right? You're out to lunch, you're out to dinner, and yeah, you really can't sit there in peace. You can't eat sloppy like I do.

[Rich Davis]

The part that's not bad, though, is when other patrons pay for your food and drinks to hook you up or the actual restaurant does it. I think she could probably afford it, though. Yeah, but they don't have to get.

[Dan Beyer]

A lot of free stuff. Yeah, I can't lick the ketchup better. The little ramekins and cups. Like, I can't be a slob like I normally am.

[Rich Davis]

You can do all that stuff. You can pick your nose at the red light. You can be a slob. Like, you can go and relieve yourself in the trees if you want. Like what? What's the. Stop talking about Jack Black like that. What's the world going to think about you?

[Covino]

It depends what type of celebrity you are.

[Dan Beyer]

Like Bert Kreischer, I'm sure, does all those things.

[Rich Davis]

You'd be like, who cares? I don't care. I'm a human being.

[Dan Beyer]

Exactly.

[Covino]

Not to name drop, it's a random one, but I always quote. One of our favorite guests, believe it or not, is Tony Danza. And he's like, ayo. Oh, hey, my guys, my guys. I'm the perfect level of fame. And he always holds up his Metro card, which is what you need to travel the subway system in New York City. Meaning I travel just like an everyday guy. Ayo O a me Angela Mona Janetin in the subway, Meaning he's just such a regular guy and local fella and New York east coast dude, wherever he is, they're like, hey, Tony Ayo.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey. No one bothers him.

[Covino]

No one bothers him.

[Dan Beyer]

But everyone says hi to him.

[Covino]

But everyone says hi to him, and he says he's that perfect level of celebrity where he could still ride the subway. Yeah. People recognize him, but he's not harassed or hassled. So there is that middle range of, yeah, you're a celebrity, but you're not bothered in that way, which is sort of the goal if that's your life. It dawned on me the other day, Rich, I'm a nobody from nowhere ville, even though we're on a huge platform here at Fox Sports Radio. But I was at the gym, and I really did think someone was recording me in the sauna. Maybe it was because I was shadow boxing and doing jumping jacks and backbends in the mood. Maybe it's because I was doing yoga poses and downward dog in the sauna. I don't know why, but I. I did. It dawned on me that he was recording me and I was this guy recording me. But then I did have the thought of if you were a really popular person. You can't go to a regular planet Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness. People will be like, yeah, you know what I mean? Like, you wouldn't have any peace there. Yeah. So being a regular person. Yeah, you could go there and look in your pajamas and work out.

[Rich Davis]

Right.

[Dan Beyer]

But Travis Kelsey's next level. Like, there, there. There could be, like, old stars from our childhood. I feel like everyone that lives out where we live has seen this guy everywhere. Mr. T. I saw Mr. T at a. At a diner.

[Covino]

Oh, the guy with the cereal.

[Dan Beyer]

The guy with the cereal. Clubber Lang himself. And he's just sitting there like, I pity the fool.

[Covino]

Don't eat my cereal.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey, Mr. T. And he's just waving at people. Everyone's nice, but Travis Kelsey is the type where. Imagine dating someone where when you come in and out of an apartment or house, guards have to almost, like, create a lane for you. That's got to be weird. The end. This would be the hardest thing. I just thought it was interesting because Travis Kelsey.

[Covino]

What's that word? You're in the pain cave.

[Dan Beyer]

Anonymity.

[Covino]

You're in the pain cave.

[Rich Davis]

I can spell.

[Covino]

You're gonna die if you don't spell it right.

[Rich Davis]

Eminem and M. I'd rather take spelling anonymity over the Mets question.

[Covino]

So yeah, you have to give up that word. You have to give up a lot of your freedoms if you want to be that type of celebrity. And what is the greatest downfall of being a celebrity? Based on what Travis Kelce said, what do you think that is? The public eye comes with the territory. But it's the little things that you just can't do anymore. Yeah, but would you trade that?

[Dan Beyer]

Well, you know what presidents always say, cuz, you know, all the times I've hung out with Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, you know, we're all pals, by the way, never met a president, always wanted to.

[Covino]

Cy Sperling.

[Dan Beyer]

Shut up. I always hear presidents will say they miss driving. I don't know if people realize that once you become president of the United States, you don't drive anymore, which is a weird sacrifice, right? Like you don't. You can't drive a car you're not allowed to drive.

[Rich Davis]

Or like you just have people that are stepping in to help you drive that.

[Covino]

I've heard that story. No, you're not allowed to drive. I believe that. I believe that. Obama did drive though, with Jerry Seinfeld.

[Dan Beyer]

And then he referenced. Yeah, like I have, I've been driven for eight years or something.

[Covino]

Jerry Seinfeld's like comedian in cars, grabbing coffee sort of thing.

[Rich Davis]

Could you have your own race car track installed?

[Dan Beyer]

I mean, I guess you could, but presidents don't drive.

[Covino]

They don't try, but they don't do any everyday sort of thing that a normal person would and could do. It's just those little things.

[Rich Davis]

I have one. So if you're you tain celebrity and fame. I think the worst thing in my opinion is everything gossip related on this phone, on the Internet. So obviously we had, you know, what do they call tabloids, paper tabloids. In the past, it's Eve, it's tenfold now. It's Internet. And then it's also people just taking their own photos. And then people gossiping about you on Reddit or Twitter.

[Dan Beyer]

I'll give you one.

[Rich Davis]

It's everything on the Internet.

[Dan Beyer]

It's gotta be worse over the weekend. The Jeff Bezos wedding, right? He shuts down Venice. Everyone hates him, loves him. Yeah, we have piles of his packages on our stoop. But we're like, I hate Jeff Bezos. Give up Amazon. Tell me if you hate him at his wedding. There's a picture floating around where you see, you know, Tom Brady flirting up with Sydney Sweeney. And it's like, there she is with Orlando Bloom. When you see the whole photo. Tom Brady's also in that photo. So it's like anytime you're talking to someone of the opposite sex or the same sex, people will chit chat. If we were at our event and you know you're doing a party and you're talking a little too close to a woman.

[Covino]

You can't sit and dive into people's DMs because people will talk about it. You definitely can't. You can't say you can't hit on women without them screenshotting your text or DM.

[Dan Beyer]

LeBron James can't openly talk to his friends at a hibachi night because someone's secretly recording what he says.

[Covino]

Right? You'll be called out. You can't ever be a Karen or a Darren and try to return something at Target because it didn't fit. Right. You can't buy something from Goodfellow at Target and then try to return it if you're a superstar because that would be all over. Like what a cheapskate he is.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, just a dumb thought I had. Can't do those little things based on Travis Kelce saying that he can no longer relieve himself while golfing.

[Covino]

But those are, you know what small time problems when you're a superstar living a rock star life.

[Dan Beyer]

I think you do. You know that when you think about.

[Covino]

It, he can't go on a tree anymore and you're.

[Dan Beyer]

You're dating the most popular woman on planet earth and you're one of the best tight ends ever.

[Covino]

But it does does make you think.

[Rich Davis]

Have to move in, right? Because he was getting like stalked or like the, you know, like that kind of stuff is gross.

[Dan Beyer]

That would bother me too. You ever see like I think Katy Perry just said yesterday there's a, there's like a hobo that hangs outside her house like stalking her. Like that's something that's weird too. Hobo.

[Rich Davis]

Kelsey should just bring one of those blue pop up tents they use on the sidelines of the NFL game on the golf course with him.

[Dan Beyer]

That's really funny.

[Rich Davis]

Pop that up. Go pee in there.

[Dan Beyer]

I was. Sam hit me up with a device that some of the golfers out there might have.

[Rich Davis]

I don't even know if this is sold anymore or if it was actually ever a legit product.

[Dan Beyer]

Why don't you ask the guy that golfs in is the guy that knows more about golf and all of us combined. Dan Beyer. Dan Beyer.

[Rich Davis]

I knew exactly what he was talking about when he the Euro club this. Well, I didn't know the name of.

[Dan Beyer]

Like what it was not Euro, like European, like urology. Like Uro, apparently. It's a golf club with a receptacle. With a receptacle. It's a faux golf club with a receptacle. There's a little curtain so you. It looks like you're lining up for a putt, but it sort of covers you where you could go on the course.

[Rich Davis]

Butt's a little short.

[Dan Beyer]

That's what Travis does.

[Rich Davis]

But you go in the club, and so then the club fills up.

[Dan Beyer]

So now you've got this.

[Rich Davis]

You have to empty it later and clean it. Yes, yes.

[Dan Beyer]

That's the downside.

[Rich Davis]

But you're a celebrity, so it's all good. Just have someone else do it.

[Covino]

Could you answer this question if your life depended on it?

[Dan Beyer]

No matter how much time you had.

[Covino]

It could be two days later, you're still in the cage. You finally came up with the right answer. It could be, like, finish the lyric. It could be, just guess, this player. It could be. Name this actor. It could be anything. Okay, but can you survive the pain cave?

[Dan Beyer]

We brought this up because I said, as Caitlin Clark was voted the number nine, the ninth starting guard in the wnba, according to the players. I said, if you put me in a pain cave, I couldn't name the eight people before her, let alone five. Maybe. Okay, I have one for Danny G. Can I put you in the pain cave, Danny?

[Covino]

If not, you get bludgeoned.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, sure.

[Dan Beyer]

I want to see if Danny G could get out of the pain cave. Here's your question, Danny. It's always a question about something. You should know. Or maybe no bigger Raiders fan than that guy Danny G. The last time the Raiders won the Super bowl, the 83, 84 campaign, my dude, Jim Plunkett, your quarterback, who was the backup quarterback.

[Covino]

Yeah, Your life depends on it. In the pain.

[Dan Beyer]

Danny G. Come on. Backup quarterback in 83.

[Covino]

But by the way, Danny G, as we improvise this game, every time you say the wrong answer, we pinch your nipples.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, that's it.

[Covino]

Oh, man. Why would you do that? Oh, yo, man.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I know who stunk. And that's why Jim Plunkett started playing Mark Wilson with a C. Pinches nipples.

[Covino]

See, but.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, but you're still alive.

[Covino]

Yeah, you're still like hangman. You know, you could answer it a day from now.

[Dan Beyer]

I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm right here. I don't want to keep you in the pain cave too long, Danny. Though in this game, you would be dead right now, because you'll never know. David Hum.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, okay.

[Dan Beyer]

David Hum was the rostered backup quarterback for the Super Bowl.

[Rich Davis]

I've heard of that dude. He went on to be part of their broadcast team when they were in Oakland, 83. When they went back to Oakland, 84.

[Dan Beyer]

That was the season, I believe they beat the Redskins, the Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl.

[Rich Davis]

38, nine.

[Dan Beyer]

38, nine. And I know that score because my dad, I remember being a little boy, I was younger than my son is now 4 years old. My dad was all mad. I'm like, dad, why you mad? Oh, Richie, I got the worst freaking numbers in the box pool. Eight and nine are not good. I'm like, what do you mean? Daddy's like, well, son, the combination of 8 and 9 being the last numbers and wouldn't you believe it? 38, 9. My family went to Hershey park that summer.

[Covino]

Oh, hell yeah. That was a hot boy. Summer.

[Dan Beyer]

Heart Park.

[Covino]

Summer. It's Kavino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Got some awesome news. Our show's gonna be broadcasting live from the MLB All Star Game Hotlanta. Let's go. Atlanta is the ultimate baseball hotspot. You'd be part of the excitement at Capital One All Star Village. Saturday, July 12 through Tuesday, July 15. Head to the Cobb Galleria for baseball fun, live entertainment and interactive games. Buy tickets today. Allstar game.com. so pumped to bring you all that fun live here on Fox Sports Radio. We're in for the great Dan Patrick. So you never know what guests we might have too. A lot of superstars out there and that's sort of our return to the big time. I'm pumped to be a Fox Sports Radio All Star.

[Dan Beyer]

I love going to MLB All Star events. All Star Village. We've been there before. If you got kids, when I tell you the displays and games and fun they have at these All Star Villages, so worth going to. So if you're in Atlanta, make plans, come say hi to us. Have fun with the family. I remember Kavino, there was an exhibit once where you get to try to call plays of a game and it's not as easy as you think.

[Covino]

It's so hard.

[Dan Beyer]

It was one. That one's out of here. There was one demonstration where you got a batter's box. Danny. And they showed you how tall and close Randy Johnson looked on the mound. They had like a cardboard cut out of Randy Johnson. Yeah.

[Covino]

The fan experience is great.

[Dan Beyer]

Danny G. So great for kids. You know who would love this? Dan Buyer. Dan, Know what they had? They had all 32 teams and the different style of grass they have in their stadiums. And you don't realize how many shades of green and how different and how much effort goes into these grounds. Crews, so.

[Covino]

And blue. Kentucky blue grass.

[Dan Beyer]

Kentucky blue. So all that MLB All Star Village will be there. Now. He failed the pain cave, but we'll play a game in a little while. Mahomes returns for showtime. Mahomes trivia. So hang tight.

[Covino]

Yeah. Your chance to play some trivia, win some prizes here on the show. But right now, a little bit about your boy Cavino. I'm on a new TV show called Hazardous History. It's actually really good. Sunday nights on the History Channel with. Hi, I'm Henry Winkler.

[Dan Beyer]

Hi. Wowee.

[Covino]

Zowie. Henry Winkler is the host. I'm one of the contributors. And may I say episode two and three were stellar because it was a lot of me.

[Dan Beyer]

I'll give you this. Last season, Covino got a haircut right before the tapings. You know, when you get a haircut too close to the big event.

[Covino]

It was a different show, but. Yeah, that's stupid.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. Hey, you look good.

[Covino]

So History Channel's got a bunch of cool new shows, and I don't know if you guys have picked up on this, but Peyton Manning has gotten involved with Omaha Productions.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And he's the producer of the mega brands that built America. I believe they're on, like, season three now. Mega brands. I saw one about Xerox and how it just became not only a company.

[Dan Beyer]

Synonymous with copies, but it's just.

[Covino]

Yeah, Xerox. That and, you know, how it changed the office life forever. Well, Peyton Manning, if you're wondering why you're seeing Eli and Peyton and other superstars contributing on that show, it's because Peyton Manning produces those. And Rolling Stone did this whole big article about Peyton Manning and his life as a producer now. And just life, period. And the headline reads, peyton says in this interview he'd still have a flip phone till this day. He'd still have a flip phone today if the cults never released him. So he says he told the story on one of his episodes that he actually held out as long as he could on the smartphone. He had a flip phone up until 2011, 2012, when he became a free agent. That's when he finally got on board with the iPhone. He was released by the Colts in 2012. And as a free agent, NFL teams are sending him information on their coaching staff, on their offense, all via email. And when he was trying to make a decision on what team to go for he needed an iPhone so that he could download their attachments in order to be more informed to talk and meet these different teams. He said I needed to be able to get that information. And so I would say it's probably true that if I never became a free agent, I would still have the flip phone. So that was the story behind the story. And obviously the Apple iPhone mega brand that built America, it all ties into the stuff you're seeing on the History.

[Dan Beyer]

Channel if you guys want to take it back. Were any of you guys reluctant to get a smartphone? Was anyone the. The last to.

[Covino]

You know, I was a snake champion. So I was.

[Rich Davis]

Took me a while. Yeah, it did. Yeah.

[Covino]

Well, it did take me a while to get a smartphone. Dan Beyer. But to get an iPhone, it took me up until like 2017 I didn't have an iPhone.

[Dan Beyer]

He was the worst.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

By the way, there's a renaissance right now. There's multiple articles. You'll find Gen Z, like college kids, young kids, they're going on what they're calling a dopamine diet. And there's a new movement where young kids are like, I need a break from social media. I need a break from all this stuff. And they have a flip phone as well. So if they want to tuck away their iPhone or their Android for a while that they're like, I want to just see if I can get by.

[Covino]

On my flip phone, I think everybody could benefit from it.

[Rich Davis]

It's also the excuse to not put it away cause you, like, emergencies. I wouldn't want to be left unkept. But I had a phone that had it twisted. Like, it wasn't like.

[Dan Beyer]

Did you have a Sidekick?

[Rich Davis]

No, it wasn't a Sidekick, but it turned so you could text on the phone in a way and then it would flip up. So, yeah, it was. You didn't really search anything.

[Dan Beyer]

But then, like, you could have five friends and you would all have different phones.

[Rich Davis]

Yep.

[Dan Beyer]

Now it's iPhones and that one loser in your group, that is an Android. Well, I said it.

[Covino]

That's really what we're getting at.

[Dan Beyer]

Right? I said it. Sorry. 50% of our audience, if you have the Android, I want to know why. And I. And I bring this up because you're ruining the group chat.

[Covino]

But is it green? But is it that big of a deal, though, that it's green? That's what I have to say.

[Dan Beyer]

I called that some recently.

[Rich Davis]

Well, because it's the data. It's the data back and forth, Videos come in, all pages isolated and Small failure to send. We actually talked about this on Doug show. Yeah. It repeats a whole message so like if they like something, it shows the entire thing.

[Covino]

They like they don't know the emoji you sent.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, you can't.

[Dan Beyer]

Can I tell you, every group chat has one of these bozos and on my kids baseball team for the all Stars, I said, hey parents, I promise we won't bombard each other with texts, but I think since we all have our phones on us at all times, let's do a group chat so I could be like practice canceled, game on, stuff like that. There was one dude, it was let's say 15 blue and then one dude, my bro Andrew, one of my other coaches ruins the group chat.

[Rich Davis]

You ruined it.

[Dan Beyer]

Green.

[Covino]

So think about this FOX Sports Radio Nation because Dan Byers on standby here.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Are you a big time loser Because Rich says you are if you don't have an Apple iPhone. Rich says behind the scenes you're a loser if you're still rocking Android because you're ruining all the chat.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm not. I'm not. Not taking a harsh stance. Losers. Harsh. But I will say you said lose. I want to know, but I want to know this. What are you trying to prove?

[Covino]

What are you trying to prove?

[Dan Beyer]

What are you trying to prove? Damn. I think you are. Let's get update and then I really got to hear from some of these Andrew people. What are you trying to prove?

[Rich Davis]

I'll tell you what. The Milwaukee Bucks today proved that they can do the unthinkable. Waving Lillard. Yes.

[Dan Beyer]

No. They prove they don't care what Giannis thinks.

[Rich Davis]

No, they don't. They don't care. Dame thinks. Although Dame seems to be taking a lot better than Giannis, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes. Here's the details. Lillard had two years and $113 million left on his contract next season. Likely wiped out because of that ruptured Achilles. But Haynes is saying that Lillard can now rehab his torn Achilles back at home in Portland. And a few teams have already reached out to him about possibly joining their squad. As for Giannis, Haynes says that he was not pleased with how the Bucs handled Lillard's release. Now, Milwaukee did sign former Pacer center Miles turn to a four year deal and also signed former Magic guard Gary Harris.

[Covino]

And it's time for our tire rack play of the day. Cal Raleigh. Who's that? Just kidding. Cal Raleigh brings the lumber again.

[Dan Beyer]

The big dumper swung on a drive. Center field is Bell back.

[Covino]

He's at the track.

[Rich Davis]

He's looking up.

[Dan Beyer]

Makes a jump. It's over. His Glo gone. Yeah. Cal Raleigh has done it again. Another home run number 33 is in the seats.

[Covino]

Well, as an Aaron Judge fan, why don't you brag about it? Courtesy of Mariners Radio Network. That was our tire rack play of.

[Dan Beyer]

The day Tire rack. And it's the way tire buying should be. I'm sorry, I'm just looking at who the tire rack play of the day should be for tomorrow. Maybe Springer because he just hit a grand slam home run against your Yankees on Canada Day off.

[Covino]

Luke Weaver, I think. Yeah, they just pulled ahead 95 or whatever. 9 4.

[Dan Beyer]

Do you realize that you and I have that Mets Yankees big money bet.

[Covino]

Yankees and Mets are stinking like Abe Lincoln to the high heavens.

[Dan Beyer]

But do you realize we should be thankful that they're equally sucking? Because I guess if one of them had played decent, we'd be way ahead of the other. Like the simple fact that the Mets and the Yankees after today are going to have the same exact record. How bad are the Yankees been playing? The mets have lost 13, I think in their last 15 games.

[Covino]

Terrible.

[Dan Beyer]

So hey, NL AL baseball is really hot right now. It's a good time. But let's go to these Android callers. I don't want to keep on hold because they're already holding their lame phone.

[Covino]

Well, let me explain again. Peyton Manning said he'd still have the flip phone, so it got us thinking. He said he'd still have the flip phone if he didn't need a smartphone, an iPhone around 2011 because he wanted to open up email attachments and stuff like that.

[Dan Beyer]

All I'll say is this Kof. I didn't say losers. It is funny though. I said what are you trying to prove? Because at this stage of the game isn't just with your AirPods, your Apple Watch, your MacBook, all the products we have.

[Covino]

Yeah, but you're very iPhone pompous when you know the Android provides technology Way before the Apple even gets to it.

[Dan Beyer]

Stuff you don't use when people say.

[Covino]

You'Re downplaying it as if it's not a quality phone.

[Dan Beyer]

The technology.

[Covino]

Look, I would have stayed with my Android up until 2017 had your girlfriend.

[Dan Beyer]

Said she would dump you if you didn't get an iPhone.

[Covino]

Yes, because I was being judged by younger women I was dating because they were like, this is an old guy thing. And I was. I was c. Blocking myself by using the Android. So I made the switch.

[Dan Beyer]

But I'm.

[Covino]

I'm just saying I don't see any big, major difference.

[Dan Beyer]

The only excuse I'll accept is, hey, man, I'm on a budget and Androids are less expensive and I'm fiscally responsible. That's a reasonable answer.

[Covino]

Well, we have pros and cons.

[Dan Beyer]

By saying, no, I got the money. I just like the Android. What are you doing?

[Covino]

You know, Iowa Sam has the stats to back it up, but, you know, said he'd still have a flip phone.

[Dan Beyer]

I know the people that mess up my group chats. My buddy Drew Mac in Nashville, my buddy Mike on Long Island, J Stu here at Fox.

[Covino]

They're not the sheep. They're not the followers.

[Dan Beyer]

Kavito says I called them losers. Little harsh.

[Covino]

Ruin, though, is so like drastic and dramatic.

[Dan Beyer]

Like ruins, videos, the attachments. Nothing's right. So I just asked the question.

[Covino]

Felt like such a cheap. A cheap sheep. I felt like such a sheep making that move to Apple. I feel like I sold my soul, but I did it. But I never had an issue with the Android. It was everybody else.

[Dan Beyer]

No, no, no. I loved it. Spot when he had an Android every day, it was like pictures didn't load.

[Covino]

Those are battery issues.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, exactly. Always issues you had every week.

[Covino]

Camino's like, you act like I don't have to balance my iPhone just to get a charge. I do. Look at me. And a base that's not meant for.

[Rich Davis]

The phone you have. So don't even use that as an example.

[Covino]

It's not the greatest thing ever. You guys, like, are big Apple nerds.

[Rich Davis]

The most user friendly.

[Covino]

And I always say that the people.

[Rich Davis]

That have an Android don't deserve an.

[Covino]

Android because an Android phone is far superior.

[Rich Davis]

It has a lot of options that are great if you're tech savvy, but for some reason, the least tech savvy.

[Covino]

People are the ones that own an Android. Well, because get an iPhone, it's better for you. They're less expensive, but it's more than 50% of the population.

[Dan Beyer]

I Told you that has an I told you. The only excuse I'll accept is, hey, man, I'm on a budget. Sorry, I'm not. Daddy stacks Androids. Androids are free.

[Covino]

That is fair. I got an iPhone for free.

[Dan Beyer]

But I'm saying you sign up for a cell phone plan, even now, you could change phones and they'd be like, yeah, get the Android for whatever iPhones, like 1500 bucks.

[Covino]

So I get it. Rich is saying, okay, you're not a loser. But he's saying, what are you trying to prove? Which is very condescending, by the way, at this. What are you trying to prove?

[Dan Beyer]

I'm saying it's big shot at this stage of the game. Unless you're telling me, hey, Rich, I got a budget situation. Why do you still have an Android? What's. What are you doing here? What's happening?

[Covino]

Before we go to the call 87799 on Fox. I was Sam, break down the stats for us.

[Rich Davis]

So this go back. This goes back to Jason Stewart, Doug Gottlieb's executive producer.

[Covino]

That's right. Hey, how are you?

[Rich Davis]

We have a lot of show text between me, Doug, Dan Byer texting, show ideas. And. And Jason. Jason ruins it because he's Mr. Green Text. He's the one guy amongst the four of us. And I'll put Dan up here in case he wants to chime in. He's the one guy amongst four of us who has the Android. Right. So Jason did a deep dive on this. We kind of joke about it because we'll send a picture, we'll send a video, we'll send something. It will come in weird, a little pixelated. It won't download correctly. It'll be delayed. So Jason looked into this. There's actually a sports parallel here, by the way. I love that. The Colts had not one, but two quarterbacks who love their flip phone, the other being Andrew Luck, who had a flip phone up until the very end.

[Covino]

This is simple.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm shocked that I'm learning now that that show is prepped. The Goblin show. I'm kidding.

[Rich Davis]

We do the best we can.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm kidding.

[Rich Davis]

Jason does a great job on that show, but he is Mr. Green Text. He is Mr. Android. So he looked and I looked up the numbers. They seem to be about a correct. So in the US the iPhone is the more popular phone. 57, about 57% to what? 43%. The iPhone is more popular internationally, though an Android owned by Google is about 70% of the market share is Android. So internationally, the Google Android is the.

[Covino]

Consumer sip in the Apple Kool Aid. That's why it's not a superior phone. Like, you love to believe in this.

[Rich Davis]

But Spot's right, though. 47. Well, 47% of former Android users say the iPhone provides a better user experience. But 29% of former iPhone users say Android is more affordable. Here's the sports parallel. So in the United States, obviously, we love our NFL. The NFL is like the iPhone. It's the more popular sport here. But internationally, football, Soccer is the more popular sport. It's the Android.

[Dan Beyer]

That's a great analogy. In my mind, I would say that the iPhones like the NFL and the iPhone like bowling. The Android's like bowling. Like, am I bowling or something? Maybe like darts on esp. Cornholio.

[Rich Davis]

And Spy was right. Like the Android, we have people here who actually use both, and they do say it's a lot more. The Android's a lot more detailed. There's a lot more stuff you can do on it. But I've always been an Apple products person, and I just. I love mine. I love my iPhone, for the record.

[Covino]

Right, Everybody here has an Apple iPhone, right? Everyone here, Dan Beyer.

[Rich Davis]

Yes.

[Covino]

Yes, Bot. Everybody here, Danny G. So, yeah, our group text is blue. We're not Mr. Green Pants like J. Stu. So your thoughts on the Peyton Manning would have had a flip phone, probably some sort of Android at this point, hadn't he made the switch? Let's go to your phone calls because Rich said, what are you trying to prove there, Big?

[Dan Beyer]

You know what? I want to. I'm gonna add one layer to this conversation.

[Covino]

Rich called you big guy. What are you trying to prove, big guy?

[Dan Beyer]

Trying to prove, big Guy. I want to add one layer. I want everyone to think about in the room. What do you think you would have been reluctant to do had it not been for your friends or family or girlfriend or wife pressuring you? Like, what is the one technology or one thing that.

[Covino]

Dude, you were so reluctant to just trim up the sides of your hair until we put so much pressure on you. Rich had, like, a mad dog Russo cocker spaniel haircut, puffy sides, like he was Samuel Adams. We also. And we're like, dude, get a fade, bro. No, but you know what? That's actually sort of back. Letting your hair grow and letting it flow is back a little bit, right? Yeah. And Rich, if you did that now, like, had the Mel Gibson now, I wouldn't blame you because it's more in style. But for years and years, like, you refuse to get. But he never went to a barber. This guy was going to a salon sitting under those moon helmets.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Some old lady Marge cut his hair.

[Rich Davis]

I thought it was scandal.

[Dan Beyer]

Scandal was the name of the twist. Get your story straight.

[Covino]

It was scandal the hairdresser. I'm like, dude, go to a Dominican guy and get a buzz cut for once. Jesus.

[Dan Beyer]

That's what most white guys go get a buzz cut from.

[Covino]

A Dominican guy gotten a buzz cut in his life. I was like, you're a young man. Get a fade. So Rich was. Everybody's reluctant to do a little something.

[Rich Davis]

Picture of this old haircut. I'd like to see.

[Covino]

Look up a young Mel Gibson. It was Rich.

[Dan Beyer]

It looks like me. I understand. I just. Instead of like a 2. A 2 clip on the side, there's just a little puffy.

[Rich Davis]

Look up the Swiss Alps and picture like a giant slope on either side. That's what Rich's head looked like.

[Covino]

We had to force Rich to get a side poof reduction.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Otherwise he was not doing it.

[Dan Beyer]

I have a list of things for you guys, but let's go to Cody. Cody in New York.

[Covino]

Hey, Cod. Hey.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, so, yeah, Android user. Been a loser all my life.

[Covino]

Love the Mets and the Jets.

[Dan Beyer]

So, you know, not fair. But hey, you know what? Hey, Coach, we're both Mets fans, so I feel you. I feel you, man. What a combo.

[Covino]

Mets, jets, and Android.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

By the way, Cody, I. I hear. I hear. I hear a beautiful kid in the background crying. I'm shocked. Oh, yeah, I'm shocked. A woman has been with you with the Mets, Jets, Android, and, And. And I. And I met her in college. With an Android, you must have character. You must. You must have something in your pants.

[Covino]

So. So what's the deal?

[Rich Davis]

Basically, right, so the Android started because.

[Covino]

Right, that.

[Dan Beyer]

That early, like teens, that like 2013, 14 period. I was getting my MBA.

[Rich Davis]

And Android has Microsoft, you know, capability, Google or.

[Dan Beyer]

All right, iPhone.

[Rich Davis]

Did not.

[Dan Beyer]

So you could do.

[Rich Davis]

I could do my homework on Excel in class and then print my stuff off. And then the professor at the end of class, well, you know, while he was going over the answers and basically, know, cheat the system a little bit.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay, so that's how I. All right, I see you're a smart guy. One person, he's the 1% of androids.

[Covino]

So everybody has a reason. We're saying budget reasons don't apply here. Cause we understand that that is fair.

[Rich Davis]

Some people in my family just say. Cause I'm used to it. I'm used to it. And I don't want to change. And so some people just drag their feet for that reason. And because of that, our family group chat has to be in what's WhatsApp right now?

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, dude. Yo, can I tell you?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, because otherwise people can't see the videos and pictures. I was sick. Which got a little controversy a couple months ago.

[Dan Beyer]

When people tell me, hey, can we do this chat on signal or WhatsApp? I always go, yep, we're just not.

[Covino]

Gonna talk then because Rich is obviously a coach of the pony league. So all the parents are hitting them up.

[Rich Davis]

I gotta open another app.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah, no, Can I tell you this? I called out the parent. I felt bad at first. I'm like, nope, I don't feel bad anymore. So like I said, there was like 20 parents on this one group chat. Just, you know, so I could give quick updates every like once a week, like practices on or 5 o' clock at this field or whatever. And the one mom's like, could I add my husband to this chat? And if, you know, if you have an Android user in the group, you can't add. You have to make a whole new 20 person chat. And I said, you know, if you have a problem with this, blame coach Andrew because he's the one Android user. And I just threw it on him. Wow. So what are you trying to prove?

[Covino]

Rich is saying, hey, big shot. I'm sorry, big hoss. Big guy. What's the deal, Indiana? You're on the show.

[Dan Beyer]

Let's go to Bill. Hey, Bill, what's going on?

[Rich Davis]

I'm a Android loser. I have good reason. I have a wife and four kids.

[Dan Beyer]

That constantly fight over chargers and cubes, but they don't touch old dad's charger.

[Rich Davis]

Because it doesn't work on their phone.

[Dan Beyer]

You know what I like?

[Covino]

Rich believes in a one Charger family, by the way.

[Dan Beyer]

You know, it's so funny you would say that.

[Covino]

I have one Charger Bill.

[Dan Beyer]

I, I said admire your, your reasoning though. That's great. No one both father's dad because he's the only guy with him. But you know what, that's another good question. Do you have to say have the same version of the phone as your family? Because Covino and his girlfriend agreed that they can't be two different chargers. Like you have to upgrade at the same time.

[Covino]

Yeah, there's just a lot going on. You have all these different chargers. So that kind, that's kind of a thing. A one Charger family or not, I didn't just invent that. Let's talk to Curtis. Is Curtis an Android loser or user?

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, hi, Curtis. Hey, what's up?

[Rich Davis]

I'm doing good, you guys. My wife refers to me as an Android loser all the time.

[Dan Beyer]

Your life is onto something. But you sound like a nice guy, Curtis.

[Rich Davis]

Well, no, no, no.

[Covino]

She.

[Rich Davis]

She. She's the one that pays the phone. We. We split up our bill. She does the phone bill, and she's an iPhone. And I had the Android. And I'm just gonna say I'm old. I don't like change. Okay. And that.

[Dan Beyer]

That's.

[Rich Davis]

That's kind of my thing. And I do believe that she knows more about the iPhone than I do. So if I get it, you can get in there and put things on that and. Not that I do anything wrong, but.

[Covino]

She can watch what I look at.

[Rich Davis]

If you know what I mean.

[Covino]

Yeah, you know, I think a lot of times, aside from budget Rich, and thanks for chiming in, man. I appreciate it. It has to do with an Android.

[Rich Davis]

Phone by how it sounded.

[Covino]

Someone just not willing to give in right now. I'm holding out now. I'm not doing it just because you told me.

[Dan Beyer]

It's almost like. It's almost like telling Cavino to do karaoke. Like, he'll do it if he wants to do it, right?

[Covino]

Like, no one wants to be forced. There's a stubbornness, there's a reluctance to make that change, and you just want to hold out. And Rich is really trying to say, well, why? And something.

[Dan Beyer]

I know you were stubborn too. You made fun of my haircut.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Cavino's the guy that, up until recently, he would be the guy that would go into Starbucks, wait in line to order his coffee. I'm like, why don't you do the mobile app? He's like, I don't do apps.

[Covino]

Yeah, that's true. That is true. Up until, I'd say about maybe a.

[Dan Beyer]

Year ago, you order El Pollo Loco.

[Covino]

There's no L, bro. It's pollo, not polio.

[Dan Beyer]

Then you say you polio.

[Covino]

You do every time. Stop. It's not polio.

[Dan Beyer]

He goes to the crazy chicken.

[Rich Davis]

Crazy polio.

[Dan Beyer]

He goes. He goes to the crazy chicken.

[Covino]

But he's right. He's right.

[Dan Beyer]

And he'll wait in line.

[Covino]

I'm reluctant to download apps.

[Dan Beyer]

And then Spot will say, you know, dude, if you go there so often, like, every fifth burrito bowl will be free if you just get the points and you're good.

[Covino]

I could get like a 50 person free meal right now if I wanted to. Yeah.

[Dan Beyer]

Just gain points, dude.

[Covino]

So 50% the Android versus the Apple. This debate still going on. It's not as tired as LeBron or Jordan, but we had reason to bring it up today. Thank you guys for all your feedback. Regardless of what you're calling in on and chiming in on, we appreciate you.

[Dan Beyer]

I just saw Bo Benson, one of the great producers here at Fox, walk in.

[Covino]

Oh boy.

[Dan Beyer]

I just, I just checked my phone. He's an iPhone guy.

[Rich Davis]

I thought he's giving me all kinds of information.

[Dan Beyer]

I thought he might have come in with a great idea.

[Rich Davis]

I really like it if Bo would just go in there and go on the air and share this information. Come on everybody just, just Bo, please go in there and help him. Please go guess the guest.

[Dan Beyer]

Or you can sit on Iowa Sam's lap.

[Rich Davis]

You can do that too.

[Covino]

No, no, no.

[Rich Davis]

But I have some pertinent information that we need to know.

[Covino]

I wanna make this point before I forget. Cause I'm a pea brain Cavino here and I have an iPhone. But what I hate about iPhone users is the pompous attitude of how like how much better it is and how lame you are if you don't have one.

[Dan Beyer]

It's like it is pompous. I agree.

[Covino]

It's so pompous. Like you deserve a karate kick.

[Rich Davis]

I sent you guys in our group chat here a video that you'll have to watch during the break. This has gone on forever. It's a 15 year old video talking exactly about what you're talking about, Covino. Really it is. It's hilarious. Hilarious of.

[Dan Beyer]

Well if it's in our group chat it'll come in clear.

[Rich Davis]

It should go through. But this has been going on for years.

[Dan Beyer]

What's up Bob?

[Rich Davis]

Years and years.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, Sam did not know this but Apple was sued in I believe the.

[Rich Davis]

UK.

[Dan Beyer]

To start forcing RCS messaging which.

[Rich Davis]

Is what was preventing you guys from.

[Covino]

Texting with Android users.

[Rich Davis]

So I feel like if the Doug.

[Dan Beyer]

Gottlieb show all went on their phones.

[Rich Davis]

And turned on RCS messages, they wouldn't have an issue with Jason anymore.

[Covino]

Simple as that.

[Dan Beyer]

It's not.

[Rich Davis]

You can't. You can still text with people iPhone or imessage to non iPhone. It's just you get all kinds of weird interference. But you're saying if you select. And also Apple did not make this known to us. Really? They just put this, snuck that in.

[Covino]

They didn't have it because they wanted.

[Rich Davis]

People to use imessage. They wanted people to use imessage. But like so you're saying that if you just go and switch this, then everything. What is it still green text. But it's just much more fluid.

[Dan Beyer]

It's more fluid. I was not aware of that. Now the one thing, just something stupid. I mean, because how often are you really out of the country? But let's say you are on vacation. You get the WI fi in the hotel. You could text your friends and family at home, but if they have an Android, you're not, you know, Google message isn't. Well, yeah, I'm sorry, like, imessage isn't working. Little things like that. You're on a plane using, you know, Southwest WI Fi. It works.

[Covino]

Well, let's wrap it with something we've been saying for years and preaching for years. Relevance is a choice.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And if you do follow the path of my Uncle Joe, who lives in an analog life and you held onto your flip phone like Peyton Manning would have done, you just get left behind in life. That's really it. So you gotta stay on top of things, whether you wanna, you know, stand your ground and use the old phone. You gotta evolve a little bit, or else you just become obsolete.

[Dan Beyer]

I do think it is funny. It's very judgy. But Covino's right. When he was single. It's been a minute since I brought up your divorce. Kavino, remember when he got divorced, guys?

[Covino]

Yeah, he was an Android guy.

[Dan Beyer]

He was an Android guy.

[Covino]

And y' all, that was 2016. 20 young women.

[Dan Beyer]

He matched with a lot of them. He's a handsome guy. A lot of young women in their 20s and 30s were like, green text. And he. Actually, that's one of the reasons he changed.

[Rich Davis]

But what if you meet a woman who's an Android user, she's like, oh, you're green text.

[Dan Beyer]

Two bozos don't make it right.

[Rich Davis]

That's a needle in a haystack.

[Covino]

She probably has hairy legs.

[Rich Davis]

I have a little horror story from when I had a flip phone and then I had. And I got an iPhone. First time I flew Spirit Airlines, it was like 2012.

[Dan Beyer]

When was the last time you flew Spirit?

[Rich Davis]

No, no, no, I flew Spirit, actually. Last Christmas was fine. Direct flight from LA to Philly worked out great. This was Spirit Airlines, and they had just kind of arrived on the scene. It was about 15 years ago, maybe 13 years ago. And I. I got a Spirit Airlines ticket. And they kept changing the gate on the app, on. On a smartphone. And I had a flip phone. So people kept leaving and I was like, where's everybody going? I wasn't getting the messages, because they were like, oh, new gate change.

[Covino]

You get left behind.

[Rich Davis]

And I had to like, ask people what was going on. And they're like, yeah, we're moving now to a nine. Or like to C7. And I'm like, we also charged them five extra dollars to bring the flip phone on the flight. So that was garbage. I had to do paper ticket. They charged me an extra five bucks.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, you're wearing shoes. That's five dollars.

[Covino]

That's hilarious. All right, last call, Ray. You're on the show. Covino and Rich. Sam, Bo is hanging out with us. What up? You got the iPhone 7?

[Rich Davis]

Yo, what's up, guys? Hey. So I actually have an iPhone 7.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, so you still have the. You still have the button on your phone?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah. He has a headphone jack. I pull that out and people are like, what is that?

[Covino]

It's a dinosaur.

[Dan Beyer]

That's funny. Thank you to man. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks, everyone for listening. You know, hey, iPhone users, Android users, we appreciate all of you. Just, you know, I'll roll my eyes at the green text.

[Covino]

Well, you know what happens if Peyton Manning would have stood his ground and kept that flip phone and lived an Android life or whatever? How would he even navigate today's world? How would he go to Disneyland? You need these apps. You need all that stuff, like, it's impossible to survive without.

[Dan Beyer]

Some matches are temporary, but your privacy shouldn't be. With line two, you get a second phone line just for dating.

[Rich Davis]

No need to share your personal number.

[Dan Beyer]

[Dan Beyer]

I'm a big Mets fan, as you know. I never really heard him talk about it until I saw this social media clip this morning. Take a listen.

[Rich Davis]

Every July 1st, I get paid 1.2 million till 2035. Doesn't suck. Doesn't suck.

[Dan Beyer]

Doesn't suck is right.

[Rich Davis]

I just.

[Dan Beyer]

I just wanted to be able to.

[Rich Davis]

Spend as if I was an active player in retirement.

[Dan Beyer]

That assurance that I'm able to take.

[Rich Davis]

Care of everybody, that's peace of mind.

[Dan Beyer]

Everybody should enjoy, you know what?

[Rich Davis]

Guaranteed income. Steady, simple and secure.

[Dan Beyer]

To be able to take care of his family. And as he said, spend like a current athlete. And I know it doesn't sound like a current athlete now, but the guy gets a check for $1.2 million every July 1 and for another 10 years.

[Rich Davis]

Do you feel like he earned. Earned it? You're a Mets fan.

[Covino]

No way.

[Dan Beyer]

No, but. No way. But you know what? The Wilpons deserved it because they were trying to manipulate how, you know, the money was paid out. And it's not just Bobby Bonilla. We've talked about this where there are other athletes that get several that get these sweet payouts, but Bobby Bonilla is the one that everyone talks about. And to answer another question, just to tie the loose ends on today's show. So the first ever reference to Taco.

[Rich Davis]

Tuesday, Ponce de Leon was Taco John's.

[Covino]

Ben Franklin.

[Rich Davis]

Taco John's.

[Dan Beyer]

It was actually John Hancock. No, Taco Tuesday was used as early as the 1930s at the White Star cafeteria. But they're saying, told you.

[Covino]

White people. Taco night.

[Dan Beyer]

Taco John's was a chain restaurant that started doing a Taco Tuesday promotion.

[Rich Davis]

Like, we had a Taco John's in.

[Dan Beyer]

Our hometown long time ago. So Taco Tuesday has been around for a minute. Let's just say.

[Covino]

So it's Taco Tuesday. It's Bobby Bonilla day. By the way, it's nice to hear.

[Dan Beyer]

His side of it, but now it's time. We're bringing him back. Showtime. Mahomes trivia.

[Rich Davis]

The mostly lovable Patrick Mahomes.

[Covino]

Truth is, I want everybody to love me, not just the refs.

[Rich Davis]

It's time for some NFL trivia.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey.

[Covino]

Hey, what's up, Danny G? Hey, how's it like my new haircut?

[Dan Beyer]

I heard you guys talking about haircuts.

[Rich Davis]

How's your offseason been?

[Covino]

It's been great. I'll tell you all about it.

[Dan Beyer]

You can see, by the way, I don't think I get enough credit for.

[Covino]

It, but I was the inventor of.

[Dan Beyer]

The broccoli head haircut, the alpaca boy haircut.

[Covino]

And then guys like Iowa Sam ruined it for me. So I got a nice high and tight right now.

[Dan Beyer]

Now.

[Covino]

But the offseason's been great, man. As you guys know, I'm looking for redemption. And this offseason, I got two new weapons to Play with.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, your wife's. Oh yeah.

[Covino]

Have you seen Britney? Yeah, she's looking good, right? Yeah. Better believe it. Better believe it.

[Dan Beyer]

Whoa mama.

[Covino]

Oh mama. Hey, Patrick Mahomes here. It's great to see you guys.

[Rich Davis]

Let's meet the contestants. 24 time winner, Rich Davis right over there.

[Dan Beyer]

Whoa mama, whoa.

[Covino]

That's right.

[Rich Davis]

You can say 18 time champion, Dan Byer. Hello. Seven time winner Spotty Boy. And looking to win a CNR Stainless Steel Swiggy. One of the last swiggies in our inventory. Let's go to the studio lines. DB I'll use you for this. Would you love to travel to beautiful Owasso, Oklahoma, Seattle, Washington, Goodyear, Arizona, Newport, Rhode island or Dubuque, Iowa? Sorry Sam, we're going to Goodyear, Arizona. It's probably really hot there, so probably need that Swiggy to cool themselves down. That's Aaron. Aaron in Goodyear. What's up?

[Covino]

How you doing?

[Rich Davis]

What's up Aaron, what do you do for a living there in az? I am a environmental inspector.

[Dan Beyer]

Nice.

[Rich Davis]

And are you calling from an iPhone or an Android? I'm calling from an iPhone.

[Dan Beyer]

All right, let it go Legitimate.

[Rich Davis]

Here are the rules for Showtime Mahomes NFL trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champion.

[Dan Beyer]

You know what, Dan? You know how Dan Patrick does. They do like they do their height and weight when they call in. We should be like you have to say if you're an Android or iPhone person.

[Rich Davis]

If there is a tie, we do have a tiebreaker question. Your name is your buzzer. But you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read before you buzz in. If there's two wrong answers in a row, we move on to the next question.

[Dan Beyer]

BA bam.

[Rich Davis]

Are you ready?

[Dan Beyer]

Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

Let's get it on.

[Dan Beyer]

People are extremely nice, extremely passionate about the Chiefs or C, KC Isn't as fun as a city like Las Vegas, but at least I don't gamble all my contracts away. What did I once say.

[Rich Davis]

[Dan Beyer]

Come on, Aaron.

[Rich Davis]

They're giving you a head start.

[Covino]

I mean, come on, B. Like, being in Kansas City, people are.

[Rich Davis]

[Covino]

Tanner McKee. Philly drafted him in 2023, and he's been impressive in camp.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay.

[Rich Davis]

All right. So so far, on the board still Byer and Aaron as we move to round four.

[Covino]

Hey, by the way, if nobody wins, can I get a swiggy for Jackson? He hit me up and said to get him one.

[Rich Davis]

All right, we will give you a door prize when you leave.

[Dan Beyer]

Whoa, mama.

[Covino]

Whoa, mama.

[Rich Davis]

[Covino]

Patrick Mahomes here. It's great to be back. I'm as fast as the guys in the next question. Okay, but who was the first player to return a punt for a touchdown in his NFL debut? A, Deion Sanders, B, Tim Brown. Or C, Devin Hester?

[Dan Beyer]

[Rich Davis]

Aaron. Oh, Rich.

[Dan Beyer]

You know what?

[Covino]

I heard Aaron first.

[Dan Beyer]

Aaron.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron for the win. Devin Hester. No.

[Dan Beyer]

Tim Brown. You bozo.

[Rich Davis]

No, you're a bozo.

[Dan Beyer]

You're like double bozo.

[Covino]

Oh, man. Sanders legendary moment. If you guys remember Devin Hester return one in the Super Bowl.

[Rich Davis]

Y.

[Covino]

But Deion Sanders first to do it in his debut. In his debut.

[Dan Beyer]

[Rich Davis]

C. C, C. No, but he said B. Did he say B?

[Covino]

He said B.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, B is incorrect, too. All right, we're gonna have to throw that Out. So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get an update for the.

[Dan Beyer]

I think we're gonna give Jackson one.

[Rich Davis]

We're gonna do a tie break.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay.

[Rich Davis]

Okay. The tie break is gonna be between buyer and air. Oh, I love this. It's a showdown. And it's up next.

[Dan Beyer]

Okay. Dan, Buyer, everybody wearing red today.

[Covino]

I hated it, but it was awesome.

[Rich Davis]

Back to you guys.

[Dan Beyer]

Poutine and cheesies for everyone.

[Covino]

Thank you, D.B.

[Dan Beyer]

All right, let's get to this final round. Bring Mahomes back in.

[Rich Davis]

Move aside from that, Mike.

[Covino]

What's up, Mahomes?

[Rich Davis]

Bring Patrick back in.

[Dan Beyer]

Hey, it's great to see you.

[Covino]

Covino looking handsome.

[Dan Beyer]

More handsome than ever. Well, Mama, I like the scruff.

[Rich Davis]

What else would he say? All right, this is a showdown. An overtime showdown. Showdown between Dan Beyer from the 661 area code on his iPhone and Aaron from the 480 area code on his iPhone. All right, guys, no multiple choice. Just buzz in with your name to go first. Whoever comes closest. Patrick, read the OT question.

[Covino]

How many career passing TDs do I have so far in my career?

[Rich Davis]

Wow. Think about it for a second, you guys. Yeah. Gosh. Do the math, Aaron. Do the math in your hand head. Okay, we still have Aaron. Do we have Aaron? Aaron is right there. Hey, Aaron. There he is. I'll go. I'll just.

[Dan Beyer]

I'll.

[Rich Davis]

I'll throw out a number and then he can just choose to go higher or lower, right? Essentially. That's nice of you. Okay, we're gonna go 249. Okay, Aaron. I was thinking 250, so I'll stick with that. Two, five. Wow. The total TD so far is how many for you?

[Dan Beyer]

Two hundred and forty five and count. Wow. Two hundred and forty five, baby.

[Rich Davis]

DB wins by one.

[Dan Beyer]

Oh, sorry. Aaron.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron, so close. Valiant effort.

[Dan Beyer]

Wow.

[Rich Davis]

You know what, guys? We've been saying that you've got a straight up win right now because of the inventory, but because he went to ot, I think we should mail him a wiggy.

[Covino]

If I have any say, I'll say give him one. As long as I get one for Jackson.

[Dan Beyer]

And.

[Covino]

Yeah. Great job, man.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Dan Beyer]

Thanks, Aaron. It's good to be back, guys.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron, stay on the line. We're going to get your info and mail you a Swiggy to Arizona. Okay?

[Covino]

All right. I appreciate it.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

[Dan Beyer]

No problem. Thank you. Later, guys. Whoa.

[Rich Davis]

What a guess. What a guess. Bye. Bye.

[Covino]

All right, let's go. I'll see you guys next Tuesday.

[Rich Davis]

Yep.

[Dan Beyer]

All Right.

[Covino]

Later, guys.

[Dan Beyer]

All right, well, we got more Kabito and Rich next on Bobby Bonilla Day.

[Covino]

According to Rich Eisen, who, gotta give.

[Dan Beyer]

Him credit, who is one of the greatest riches in broadcasting besides myself.

[Rich Davis]

Speaking of Dan Patrick, he did all those hits on the DP show and then got his own show.

[Covino]

Right.

[Dan Beyer]

Let me tell you, I'm a big fan of Rich Eisen. I always love when Larry David's on his show. So what's up, Rich Eisen? I love this list because at number one, the San Francisco. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Covino]

You start a countdown at number one. What radio college did you go to, Mr. Countdown Boy, don't you start at number five if it's the top five.

[Dan Beyer]

Any Casey Kasem used to work in this very building and studio. Dude, he being.

[Rich Davis]

What?

[Covino]

He'd be embarrassed by you right now.

[Rich Davis]

Number five.

[Covino]

Don't you host a countdown on Pop 2K? I do.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm so sorry, guys.

[Covino]

It's the top five NFL 2025 sleeper teams.

[Dan Beyer]

Number. Number five. Number nine.

[Covino]

Number five. Number five.

[Dan Beyer]

Number eight.

[Covino]

Saints. The New Orleans Saints.

[Dan Beyer]

Number 12. The Saints.

[Rich Davis]

Saints.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You know, they have such a question mark at quarterback.

[Dan Beyer]

Why are they always on the sleep?

[Rich Davis]

I feel like every year they're on almost every year.

[Dan Beyer]

You know why? I don't know why, to be honest. So you could tell me why, why they've, again, the quarterback question marks. Is it that the division is so suspect? Probably it, because I don't want to give any hints, but you'll see another one of these divisional teams later on in the countdown.

[Covino]

Coming in at number four. I'm sorry, let me do my best. Spider Harrison coming in at number four, the New England Patriots.

[Dan Beyer]

Number four, Drake May. You saw that. He got married to his, like, high school sweetheart. You saw that. They have a new, you know, they have new coaching staff. They have revamped that team. I feel like I saw some style. Like, the personnel turnover is unbelievable. So you're looking at a completely different Patriots team in a division where, you know, are there really high hopes for the jets or Dolphins?

[Covino]

No, and I know that doesn't matter.

[Dan Beyer]

And the Bills will be back to where they are, but, I mean, still.

[Covino]

Have a reputation to keep. They're still the Patriots, so they got to step that up.

[Dan Beyer]

Didn't Robert Kraft recently say that the last couple of years were the worst of his, you know, of his career?

[Covino]

Yeah. So they got to play according to expectation eventually.

[Dan Beyer]

Well, number three, I think, is an interesting one, the Carolina Panthers, because now Bryce Young, you know, there's no more like, oh, he's getting his feet with. With. Yo. Are you the number one guy from a couple years ago or not? Like, are you going to deliver? They got some weapons for him now. They've built, they've got, you know, they've drafted, they've. They've had a couple drafts now.

[Rich Davis]

He had a pretty nice bounce back after everybody said he was a bust.

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah. So this is like. This is where it's like, all right, a couple years of good drafting, high picks, revamping again in a division that as of right now, what is it? Tampa and Baker Mayfield is the precedent, you know, is it Michael Penix Jr. And the Falcons, like, the division has no team where it's like, what? Well, you're not going to beat them. So I think it is sort of wide open. So this is an interesting one. Carolina again, we haven't seen any preseason. We haven't seen anything. And number two, Danny, you got to love this because the Raiders number two.

[Covino]

Coming in at number two. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

The Raiders number two, Ashton Genty. The speed and cuts of Barry Sanders and the muscle of Bo Jackson.

[Covino]

Geno Smith, new quarterback.

[Dan Beyer]

I think it's going to be very interesting. I think the Las Vegas Raiders are very.

[Rich Davis]

Mike Mayer at tight end. Mike Mayer at tight end. Come on.

[Covino]

That's right. And Rich, we're running out of time. You already said it. Number one.

[Dan Beyer]

And my 49ers number one. I think there's nothing to be said other than they have the weakest schedule and they're still the 49ers. Everyone thinks they're decimated. They still have a core of a team that went to the super bowl twice in the last five years or so. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Are you baby.
