To quote Fonzie, you said, yeah, I think it's about time the brewers come back to reality. I think it all comes out in the wash. As my mom says, it all evens out. The brewers will brew. They're 34 games over.500. But you're going to see these other teams like the Mets and the Yankees turn it on. Turn it around right about now. And again, back to reality. It'll all even out. Trust me, I get it. But I know they're great. I'm not rooting against them. It's cool to see their chemistry and see them do well, but we'll see what happens. Well, they're having fun. The clubhouse apparently is contagious. Hitting is contagious, man. So is slumping. They blank the Cubs today. They're up what, nine games? And on July 26, which is like less than a month ago, they were tied for first place now 79 and 45. Unbelievable. Nine games over. The Cubs totally on fire. But, you know, we'll see if the momentum sticks around. It was a nice weekend. The Little League Classic, like I said. Yeah. I feel like your Mets are turning things around. I hope so. I feel like my Yankees are turning things around. I hope your teams are playing well. Hope you enjoyed some good fights. But before we get into the mlb, before we talk about MLB expansion and realignment, what a lot of great football stories today. Who's your starting quarterback? On some of these teams that haven't made the announcement yet, we will speculate we'll have some fun before we play. Last one standing. We do that every Monday. The most heated game in all of sports radio. Giving away prizes today like we always do. Let's discuss a dare. If your bonehead buddy dares you to do something, do you do it? I double doggy dare you. Does it have to be a triple dog dare? Does it have to be a double dare? And you go down the Sunday slide. I think the lesson learned here is when you dare one of your buddies to do something at the bar or at a ball game anywhere. Like, yo, I'll buy you lunch, or I'll get you a drink if you do blank, dude, sometimes you don't want that person to actually do it. Like you were joking. I'll give you an example. When I was little, it was a nightmare. It's also a sports example, so give me extra credit here. Tying this back to sports genius. I had a ball game when I was a little kid, and I had a belligerent uncle named Uncle Angel. Belligerent crazy guy. I've heard stories. Big heart crazy guy. And one of my other uncles dared him to climb the foul pole. And they're like, yeah, go Angel. Again. This is like early 80s. It's like a real gloomy memory that I have. Like a hazy night. Old Yankee Stadium, Bon Ton potato chips advertisements in the background. The old Yankee Stadium smells like beer and Yankee Stadium like New York. Old New York. So I'm there as a little kid, and they all start egging uncle angel to climb the foul. As a little kid, I'm like, nah, don't do it. That's embarrassing. No, angel, no, no, no. Dude. He's like a quarter of the way up the foul pole, and security's grabbing him by the pants. And you see him, you know, his ass sticking out, trying to pull him down. They escort him out of the stadium, but he took the dare. I don't know what he got out of it, but he's like, yeah, all right. I'm uncle angel, watch me. And I'm like, no, don't do it. So embarrassing as a little kid. It's funny that sometimes when you dare someone to do something again, like you said, you don't expect them to do it, or part of you is like, no, I didn't really want you to do it. No. So I got to give props to someone that I owe lunch to for the rest of the week. For the rest of the week. Isaac Loewencron. Who? Isaac doing the updates. Isaac Loinchron. Isaac Loewencron. I couldn't believe he did it. Without hesitation, outside of Fox Sports Radio, there was a table of about eight, what would you say, 30ish year old women having lunch, little business lunch, eight women, yap, yap, yapping outside. But it was a scene. You don't see that many women at that table. It's there every day. We're sitting right next to it. We're in the office, they're outside in the courtyard. We could see them there and they're yapping it up. And I could hear them giggling and talking. I don't know what they were talking about, but I said to Isaac Loincron when he popped out of the news anchored room over there, I said, isaac, I'll get you lunch the rest of the week if you go outside, pull up a chair and say, hey, ladies, what's the tea? And would you believe this son of a bitch did it? Without hesitation. Without hesitation, without hesitation. And I have the picture. Isaac, do you mind if we post the photo on our Instagram? I just sent it to Danny G for proof. You gotta see it. Danny G. I almost died. Cause I'm like, no, don't, don't do it. No. I didn't want to see failure. At first. He walked out and we thought, we thought at first he just walked out. He was gonna walk past him, like to just. Oh, he went and grabbed the chair. He's the only natural blonde sitting around the T, dude. It was so awkward and hilarious at the same time. And we just saw all these girls staring at him. He's like, hey, ladies. And he sits down with him. Now Rich owes him lunch the rest of the week. You guys inspired me because I don't think if someone would have asked me who I didn't like as much and trust as much as you guys, I wouldn't have done it. But not only did I do it, I really oversold It. I pulled up and I went, okay, ladies, what's the tea? So you know what? It was so awkward. I gotta be a man of my word the rest of the week. Isaac, text me what you want for lunch. I will be your lunch boy the rest of the week. That's what happens when you dare someone and you don't know if they're going to do it. Like, Sam, would you have done that? Or said, oh, I can't. I don't know. Maybe. But I wasn't put in Isaac's shoes. Isaac is. You can't predict what Isaac's going to do. Absolutely wouldn't have done it. But you know what? Make sure you get a steak burrito tomorrow. He was real spontaneous with it. Just roll with it. I guess if you catch someone in a mood, they'd be willing to do it. I would not have done that. Props to Isaac for pulling that off. Do you take the dare, or do you take that free lunch? Do you take someone's money? If you're so confident on a bet, do you take their money on it? Rich always asks that question. I think you have to. I mean, you don't make a bet and then back out on the. On the payoff. I owe Isaac lunch, and I will certainly pay up. I think what you're saying is, if you're at the bar and your buddy's like, yo, go talk to that girl. I'll give you 100 bucks. If your buddy's like, okay, you got to give him the hundred bucks you. You can't make. And Rich always says, bring up if you're so certain. If you're so certain, then why not bet on it if you're so certain? It's so obvious. Yeah. Like Kavino will say, bet will be like, yo, tonight. I don't know. He would name me Yankee. I'm not saying this year. But there were times money. This was easy lunch. This was less of a bet, more of a dare. But still, it was easy. Three free lunches for Isaac to just. And a good laugh and just sit up there and say, hello. If you're so sure. My question always is, well, then, bet. Like, there are times where Kavino will say, tonight, yo, Volpe is going to go off. I guarantee Volpe at least gets a hit tonight. I'm like, well, bet it. Yo, bet. Yo. The kids say, yo, bet, bet. All right, now, that was a fun way to start the week. Absolutely. There was seriously, eight young women. It takes some iron huevos to pull that off. And props to Isaac. Lohan. So again, we'll post that at kobenonridge so you could see Isaac and his true glory. Isaac. Iron Huevos, Lowen, Kron. So before we get into baseball, you did see the Little League Classic yesterday. A good weekend of baseball football 17 days away, which is freaking awesome. So we got football. Before you know it, some teams still trying to figure out QB1. We will get to all that, I promise you that. But I want to bring up something that Big Mike brought up again, that not. It doesn't always have to be all about sports, but I think this sort of ties in because. Never heard of him. When you're sitting on your ass at home, yeah. You're usually watching the game or one of your shows, or your dad sitting in his chair, watching Fox News or something. Like there's every. And I say their chair because do you have your chair? I have a spot. That's what I'm saying. A spot. Everybody has a spot. A chair would be nice. Every king deserves a throne. I don't mind that. I want a chair one day. Like in a man cave somewhere. Like Dan Patrick, when I have my own man cave, my own throne, my own chair. But now I just have a spot on the couch. But if I'm visiting my parents, I feel like I have a chair at the dinner table. Like, that's my chair. Beat it. Scramble Lamb a Ding Dong. If someone's in my chair, I'm like, yo, Steve's back in town. You're in my seat. Yeah, but it's not your house anymore. I know, but I always sit there. So the question if you have buddies over for fight night, let's say you were watching UFC this past weekend or baseball playoffs are right around the corner. Again, in two weeks and a few days, we're going to be watching Thursday Night Football as the NFL season kicks off. If you have people over your house or you go over someone else's house, is there an understanding that you need to figure out where the hosts usually sit? That way you don't take their chair. Absolutely. It's like the head of the table, like that's reserved for whose ever house it is. Even in your relationships, I'm sure your wife has a spot and you have a spot. If you're in her spot, she's like, you're in my spot. That's just how it is. You have a designated spot and you always, you always are kind about it. But there have been times where I've had people over watching a game and they're sitting in My spot. And they're like, oh, is this your spot? And I'm like, yeah, you can stay there. And then I find myself sitting on another part of the couch. I'm like, this doesn't feel right. Unless you really feel like standing and you're hosting and you're like, really just running around. I get it. Otherwise, I don't think it really requires that much explanation. So when we walked in today, Mike was sitting in Rich's seat. We always plan the same way every day. Rich is on the right, I'm in the middle. Danny G's on the left. It's been that way since the beginning. And then Michael park between me and Danny G. Yeah, right. It's always that Mike comes in, hey, what's going on today? And it's usually between me and Danny G. What are you guys talking about? Yeah, what's the. So then today, he's sitting in Rich's seat, and Rich is standing around like, what do I do? You kindly say, hey, that's my spot. You give him the thumbs. Like, get out of here. The thumb. Hey, scram. Just a reminder, the other day, my brother was visiting from the East Coast. He came to visit us here at Fox Sports Radio. Before Danny got in, he was sitting in your chair. And I go, jim, that's Danny. Just give him the old thumbs this way. Like, hey, beat it. Beat it, buddy. So I think there's not a lot required here. It's just a simple, playful. That's my spot. And I think anyone who's a real friend or just a regular fellow would understand, like, oh, my bad. And that's as simple as that. But everybody has a spot. When you switch it up, that's when. When it's weird, it's like, what are you doing sitting there? It's off. What happens if spot is in your spot? Hey, get out of my spot. Spot. Like, confused. Be like, who's on first? So, I mean, the show, the Goldbergs is a great example. Remember the dad, Jeff Garland? Murray Goldberg had his recliner. Did gramps have a spot? Pabst. Pabst. That was it. Pabs. Every Paps had some sort of lazy boy. That was the. It smelled like Grandpa. It just smelled like old man. It's just a quick reminder before we get into the meat, Grandma didn't sit in Grandpa's La Z boy. Before we get into the meat of today's show, and Isaac gets to choose the meat because lunch is on me. Before we get to the meat of the show, it's just A reminder. When you go to someone's house to watch the game or fight, before you plop down with your chips and your drink, just ask the host, hey, where's your spot? Because they might say, but believe it or not, where you're sitting. Then you say, oh, I'm sorry. Take your seat. Everyone's got a spot. I constantly will tell my kids, like, move. That's Dad's spot. I have a visitor rule that I live by. I usually find the standalone chair and sit on the chair. I don't like to get all comfy in the couch because if there's pet hair, then I have pet hair all over me, and I'm allergic to it. Nothing against doggies. Nothing against your house, Rich, either. I have a dog, but I'm not allergic to my dog. You sit in someone else's seat on their couch, and you have, like, all this hair all over you. Like, you're ruined for the night if you suffer from allergies like me. So I just find some random ancillary chair and pull it up right by the tv. That's my move. And then I turn it around like. Like A.C. slater. And I say, hey, what's up, mama? Quick lesson. It's been learned. We can move on. Isaac gets lunch. Have those huevos. Take the dare. Earn some lunch, and don't sit in someone else's chair. Take your seat. All right, I think we could go home now. The question is, what do you do if someone's in your seat? That's really the question. Politely tell them and to tie it back, even though we don't have to, Rich, because we love to banter and have fun here on the show. Do you think people have a spot in the dugout? Is it their spot? You think John? You think Big G, my guy Giancarlo Stanton is like, that's my spot. Without a doubt. You don't think. You don't think in the Dodgers dugout, Mookie or Freddie or someone has, like, oh, they. They like to sit in this corner or they get. They like to lean on. They like to lean on the rail over there. Like, yeah, they even have. They even have set spots where they lean while they're standing. You think it's standard, like, for veteran. For the key players. Well, who do you picture, right? I mean, there's certain teams, like, I always picture Lindor in the same spot with his arms on the railing, like, you know, watching the other. You know, the other guys at bat. If some young guy goes there, you wouldn't you don't think someone's like, no, that's Francisco, without a doubt. There's a pecking order. There's a hierarchy. See? Oh, we've seen in the NBA, we've seen young guys be told sit on the floor. Even though. Even though LeBron's not dressing today, you're in his seat. We have seen that. Yeah. NBA, definitely. NFL. Usually see Brady sitting there. Brady, I know I picked him as an example, but I'm picturing him with his. With his tablet. By the coaches, whatever. I'm sure there's a hierarchy of, like, there's got to be a spot for certain key players, the quarterback especially. But I haven't really noticed it. But there has to be. Yeah, I think they kind of move around based on where their position coach is at and things like that. Here on our show Grand Program, I sit where I don't normally sit, and I think I'm switching that soon because I'm not comfortable with Rich on the left of me. I've done 20 years of radio where he's to the right of me. But we don't want to confuse who's Covino and who's Rich. So that's why I'm sitting where I'm sitting. Otherwise, I hate it. It's not my spot. So you confuse everyone. Now that we have a new YouTube channel. I know pretty soon I'll be sitting there. If you are watching or if you've ever seen any of our Instagram or TikTok or Facebook clips, we sit on Fox Sports Radio. Cavino on the left, Rich on the right. Covino and Rich. That's not how he likes to sit. Yeah. For years and years it was the opposite. And I think I'm going back to that soon. So, anyway, what's your spot? How do you handle it when someone's in it? Equally corny question. Have you ever dated someone or had a buddy or anyone for that matter, that when taking a photo has to stand on a certain side? It happens. That's Johnny Drama. It does happen, though. It happens a lot. Johnny Drama and Steve Cavino. That's my good side. Oh, you're my spot. Cavino. If someone, let's say we meet a listener or doing something. Hey, guys, let's get a pick. Kavina will rotate because he feels like he has one better side of his head. You know what it is? There's certain angles. It's like you never saw Beavis head On. Right? You never saw Beavis head on. You always saw him from the side you Comparing yourself to Beavis? Yeah. You rarely see me Head on. Because I just don't like posing that way. But what about Butt Head On? No, you would see butt Head On. Head on. You would see Butthead Head on. You wouldn't see Beavis Head on. And when you did, because you did once in a while, it looked weird. When you see me. Not like this. It looks weird. So, anyway, what's your spot? How do you handle it? And here's my advice before we move on. Final thought, tell him to scram. Hey, beat it. Give the thumb out. Hey, beat it. A normal person understands. Oh, my bad. I'm in your spot. The end. It's not that awkward. I've seen firsthand where I remember this, and I remember loving every second of it. Because if you love drama show like I do, and Triple G, Gennady Golovkin loves drama show. Who doesn't love good drama? I remember I was with an ex girlfriend, and her sibling was dating someone new, and the new dude sat in dad's chair at, like, a holiday dinner. And I was like, oh, this is gonna be good. And I. I watched an Italian family that's called a no, no. A no no. So, hey, hey, you got your spot. You got your seat. In fact, there have been guys that have been sitting in the same seat at stadiums and bars. Yo, I'll tell you this, it sounds ridiculous, Sounds ridiculously territorial, but there's a great episode of Cheers. I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah. Did you ever see that episode where someone, like some yuppie in the 80s was sitting in Norm's barstool and he's like, yeah, that's my seat. He goes, who? He goes, I'm Norm. Like, as if, like, so matter of fact, Sunday football. When I lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, I was such a regular, every Sunday I'd be at that bar eight hours watching football from start to finish. I had a bar seat that if I got there and someone else was there, sometimes the bartender would be like, everyone scoot down. That's. That's Rich's chair. I would say in that case, it's the bartender's responsibility to be like, nah, nah, he's a regular. He's. That's his seat right there. Because you can get in a fight there. I'm not going to give you that advice. I'm not going to tell you to pull a Norm and tell the guy to scram. Not in that case, but let's take one phone call. We'll move on and we'll talk some MLB and some NFL. Because Rob Manford said some interesting things at the Little League Classic this weekend. Jeff and Indy, you're on the show. Covino and Rich. It's good to be back on a Monday. What's up? What's up, fellas? I normally don't listen to sports shows and I totally dig your show. I listen to it all the time. Thank you. Thanks, man. On this, I think a cool guy kind of knows where you're supposed to sit and where you're not. So for instance, I'm in sales and a buddy of mine will call me on a Friday midday at about 100% of the time when he says, hey, I'm going to my lake house. You want to go? I already got a go bag packed in the back of the car. So I drive down there to see him. And he always takes his dog, Jax. And when we get in the golf cart to go down to the boat, Jax is on the passenger seat of the golf cart. Golf cart. And I'm in one of the seats in the back. I would never throw that off. Or bum his dog out or bum him out. You just know. You just know. I'm not even riding bitch. He's riding bitch. And I'm like sub bitching back or something. You know what, I'll tell you this. I like your move there. Don't disrupt the flow, Jeff. That's an interesting point. Again, we don't need to harp on seats the whole show, but it was an interesting thought because. Yeah, but some people don't have a good self awareness when it comes to this. But he can't sit here. He's at a sales meeting. If you don't think it's strategery. If you don't think there's strategia of where to sit at a business meeting or a sales meeting. Like Danny, when we met with some of the MLB people or some of the great salespeople at iHeart during the super bowl or All Star game. You almost gotta position yourself like, all right, I'm gonna let the woman in charge or the guy in charge let them sit where they sit. And then we all sorta, you know, that's why we said Spot pulled the power move. Cause he sat at the head at one of our big meetings. Remember that? Yeah. At the all star meeting with mlb, we had a lunch with. We all moved down one so that the one of the MLB executives could sit at, you know, one of the heads of the table. Spot was down at the Other end. It's called showing respect. Respect. Respect. Like the chair doing this, touching his fingertips together. Yeah. You got to reserve that seat for the, the man in charge. These are my terms. And sometimes sitting back and letting someone take that seat is the move. That's the solid move to make. So anyway, have some self awareness. Have the wherewithal to know that you're disrupting the flow. Let people sit where they're supposed to sit and don't be the jerk. All right, well, with that said, so much to get to today, right? I mean, mlb, I think a success, Little League Classic seem cool. You think a success? It's one of their biggest successes. Those kids, they're going to continue doing it. As you know, MLB trying to find cooler destinations to play baseball. As we saw at the Bristol Motor Speedway, not all of them go off without a hitch, but the Little League Classic has been super uber successful for not only Little League, but MLB because it's, it's winning over young fans when they're at their most influential. I think watching the young kids ask questions to the big leaguers is like my favorite part. Like, there was some young dude asking Mets pitcher shamania, like, you know, like, all right, when you were 12, how tall were you? Like, when did you get tall? Like, questions that I'm like, you know, what a broadcaster would never ask. Yeah. They're in awe of this moment. And Rob Manfred actually said, no, they're going to continue doing this. It's just great for everybody. It's a win, win for everybody involved. Now the big leaguers love bonding with the kids. It makes them feel young again. That's a great idea. Something else Rob Manfred said I don't think is a great idea. So we're going to get to a couple things he said during that broadcast yesterday. Plus, of course, diving into a lot of football because we are 17 days away from the kickoff to the NFL season officially. So football, little mlb, all coming up right here on Fox Sports Radio. Kavino and Rich. Hello, I'm John Lithgow. We choose to go to the moon. I want to tell you about my new fiction podcast. That's One Small Step for Man. It's about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of space. You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far as I'm concerned. The best I've seen. That's the story you think you know. This is the story you don't predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide. We'll see Buzz try to overcome demons. What do you say? Buzz. Another beer and triumph over addiction. Here's to you, Buzz Aldrin. Good luck to you and become a true hero. Buzz and I will proceed into the lunar module not because he conquers space, but because he conquers himself. Buzz. We intercepted a Soviet radio transmission starring me, John Lithgow. Can you put it through? Can you Translate on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts? Columbia When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that had been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and Cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is going to push back on that colorism. All of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture, you'll hear from people like Congresswoman aoc. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your PODC podcasts. We all know, right? Genius is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and Black Tech Green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas, spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green Money from the Black Effect Podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Amber Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hello, puzzlers. Let's Start with a quick puzzle. The answer is. Ken Jennings appearance on the puzzler with A.J. jacobs. The question is, what is the most entertaining listening experience in podcast land? Jeopardy. Truthers who say that you were given all the answers believe in. I guess they would be conspiracy theorists. That's right. Are there Jeopardy. Truthers? Are there people who say that it's. It was rigged? Yeah. Ever since I was first on, people are like, they gave you the answers. Right. And then there's the other ones, which are like, they gave you the answers and you still blew it. Don't miss Jeopardy. Legend Ken Jennings on our special game show week of the Puzzler podcast. The puzzler is the best place to get your daily word puzzle fix. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There are no girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the challenges of being a black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created. There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are no girls on the Internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sitting in my angry chair. And I don't want anyone else sitting in it. My chair. My angry chair. Alison Chains style. What are you gonna do? Pull a Victor Robles? I mean, throw a bat at me or something? What are you doing? I might do that. That was wild, huh? It was. Was a wild weekend. And I want Dylan Gabriel to know that Kavino and Rich are entertainers and competitors. So competitive. We want to have the Most follows on YouTube. So check our new page out. Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube. We're streaming live. Hey, guys. So you could watch it, you could hear it. And if you missed any of our shows last week, filling in for Dan Patrick again, competitors and entertainers, please catch the podcast. We have the best of. We have the best of the week. That Danny G. Puts up everything. If you search Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast, and if we're not good enough for you spot, give Iowa Sam the one shot. You could see what I was saying looks like. Yeah, look at that fuzzy headed ninny Muggins. See, look at that. I was Sam YouTube page. All right, Baseball this weekend. We keep saying it. The overused phrase on our show over the last couple months has probably been baseball's popping. And it's really just quoting Deion Sanders, right? Who said baseball's popping, baby? It seems like they're making all the right moves. Kind of like Tom Cruise in the 80s. Making all the right moves, dude. And this past weekend was another one. The Little League Classic. Like we said, your Mets over the Mariners. Little Leaguers got to see Juan Soto. Not all cared to see Juan Soto. I don't know if you saw the viral clip. There's a little kid shuffle. They got him to do the shuffle. Well, that was awesome. And he played up to the crowd. I gave him credit for that. But there's a really funny viral clip, another viral clip, I should say, where there's a little Australian kid and they ask him, who would you love to meet? And he's like, Juan Soto. And then this Canadian little leaguer, Misha Lee, was like, ah, he's kind of overrated. I want to see Cal Raleigh. That's got. That's gone viral, though. What does that kid know? He's Canadian. But again, MLB with Little League kids, big stars, dude. You know how many stars were at that game arose Arena Cal Raleigh, Juan Soto, Lynn Dore. Stars, stars. Star studded. And that's the other thing that MLB is doing right. They're letting the players be themselves. They had the player day. Cool bats, cool cleats. They're there with the little Leaguers. They promote their stars in a better way. It seems like they're doing everything right. Dare I say hold up? Because it reminds me of a game show that I loved as a kid. I remember sitting in grandma and grandpa's house and we'd be watching a show called oh, oh, Nard Sharks. Or is that the show you're gonna host someday? Nard Sharks. No, it wasn't. My grandfather watched Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Like stupid Random shows. Her parents probably watched Bowling for Dollars. My mom was on Bowling for Dollars. True story. Fun fact. Oh, I love the Gong Show. No, it was a show called Press yous Luck. And I always remember that people would have their money, much like the modern example would be Deal or no Deal. But I'm gonna go with Pressure Luck. Remember the old no whammy? No whammy. Come on, big bucks, big bucks, big bucks. Oh, whammy. Oh, whammy. Would you ever heard a whammy? Isaac Loincott remembers Pressure Luck, a staple of staying home from school, viewing during the afternoon. As a kid, you loved the whammy. And the whammy was an animated little character that came out, but he stole all your money. He didn't want the whammy. He wanted big bucks. The whammy was way creative for 1980s graphics. Right? The little whammies singing at you. Yeah, I used to love that. But you would always remember, you press your luck, and that's the name of the show. Do you keep your money? Do you press your luck? It's sort of like Deal or no Deal, when Howie Mandel would call the banker, all right, we're gonna offer you $280,000. And the jabroni would be like, no, no deal. And then he would. Then he would lose everything. I think right now we're at a pressure Luck moment with Major League Baseball. Slightly bigger bases pitch. Clock. World Baseball Classic has infiltrated the baseball. World Little League Classic. The Tennessee. What is it again? The Bristol Motors. I feel like they pressed their luck with that one. And that was the first misstep that we've seen when it works. Changes and experiments. You talked about it the other day. The great jerseys they have now. The city connects. All the little things baseball's done. The bat flips, the everything's relevant entry music. 8th and 9th inning, where the setup men and closers. There's light shows at the stadium. Danny, all these stadiums have great food now and options. Baseball has done so many great moves that it's almost like, stop. Take the deal Howie Mandel's giving you. Don't try to. Don't hit a whammy. And I heard Rob Manfred talking about realignment when there's expansion. How about a window into the future? Expansion, realignment, playoffs. I mean. Yeah. Can you. You see that down the road? I can. You know, I think that. I think the first two topics are related in my mind. I think if we expand, it provides us with an opportunity to geographically realign. I think we could Save a lot of wear and tear on our players in terms of travel. And I think our postseason format would be even more appealing for, you know, entities like espn. I don't want to hear anymore. I don't want to hear anymore. And I'll tell you why. Because right now, baseball, with that extra wild card is just enough, right? The, the third wild card. Some even said, oh, that's too much. But it keeps all these fan bases interested. Three wild cards, three division winners in each league. I don't mind if they, you know, branch out, add a couple teams. Nashville, Portland. There's a couple cities that may be worthy of a team. So again, expansion and realignment. I think expansion's great. I think everything they've done up to this point is accept even the runner starting on second base at first in extra innings. People are like, oh, I don't know. It's working out. There comes a point where you press your luck. I hate to say it. Another analogy would be like some guy that cheats on his wife, he never gets caught. You keep doing it. You will get caught eventually with your pants down. You think, unfortunately, some of these athletes that keep getting rubbing tugs, you think they. What happens is eventually. Well, what it is. It's quoted in your favorite show, Ozark. It's not the first time they did. It is the first time they got caught. And you just press your luck and push it and push it and push it. I think baseball right now is in such a good spot that, yeah, expansion's great. Nashville team, Portland team. Who would say no to that? Yeah, but realigning the re. The reason I say no to realigning. Realign, God smack style. Not for baseball. The reason I say it is because when you look at what the proposed. This is not official, but what they call the proposed imaginary new divisions. Well, again, they said geographically realigned for better games and better tv. I think they would. They would call a division. I believe that the speculation was the Northeast and it would have the Mets, Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies for easier travel in one division. And my first thought is, I don't. That's like you're. You're not spreading out the wealth. And then what are you going to have a south team where it's like the Marlins, Rays? I just feel like the divisions are so ingrained. You got to keep some type of tradition. What are you going to do? It's America's pastime. Well, you're the first to say that sometimes tradition is making the same mistake over and over again. Would you be down for baseball realignment. I say no. Danny G. Don't you sort of like the NL west with the Dodgers pod? We all do. But Giants, everybody hates change, period. Like, no one likes any sort of expansion or realignment change. And then we get used to it. It's like Johnny Lawrence said, you couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, you little punk? Or whatever he says to Daniel Son. You remember in the classic Karate Kid. You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you, little twerp? You little twerp. Come on, Manfred, Leave it alone. That's how I'm feeling. You know what? But that's how we feel. You think younger generations give a diddly squat? I don't. You know what? I'm down for the feedback. Let's go 87799 on Fox as we go to Isaac for an update. But let's get the phones going. Your thoughts? Would you want baseball realignment and a different postseason? Because I think it's perfect. Expansion. I say fine. Just don't mess it up in another sport. The Cleveland Browns. Well, we don't want to make any analogies. They're too easy, folks. They officially named their starting quarterback today, going to be Joe flacco, entering his 18th NFL season. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced today for the first time since the start of training camp as he recovers from a back injury. Tennessee Titans number one overall draft pick Cam Ward got into a scuffle with Titans defensive lineman Jeffrey Simmons at practice today after a touchdown pass. It started when Ward shoved Simmons and then Simmons retaliated with a two handed push towards face. Mac. Yeah. And then the entire offensive line came running to Cam Ward's defense. NFL media reports Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson will not play in tonight's preseason game against the Bengals by mutual decision raising the possibility of him being traded or released. Baseball the Phillies announce pitcher Zach Wheeler underwent successful surgery today to remove a blood clot in his arm. On the field. The Milwaukee brewers beat the Cubs 70 in the first game of a doubleheader. And finally, also beginning to trend, a fresh video of LeBron James and his evident growing passion for the game of golf as former teammate Kevin Love posted a video a few hours ago of James celebrating a successful shot while exclaiming, braun got to hit again. Unquote. Listen. Oh my God. Braun got to hit again. Braun got to hit again. Braun got to hit again, mother. LeBron James living it up on the links. Back to you guys. That was him saying that. It was. I hate the third person thing I do. It's annoying. Yeah. By the way, something else caught on a mic. I can't say this on Fox Sports, but did you see the Marlins had a bench coach, rookie Eric Wagaman hit a home run and as you know, when they go the dugout and they see the guy running down the dugout. High five. And everyone. Yeah. Very clear on the mic, one of the coaches goes, great job. You Ginger f. Did you see that? No, I didn't. Very funny. So thank you. Isaac, you demand. And by the way, I think the Joe Flacco announcement is a good one for football only because it keeps the Gabriel Sanders drama going on longer. I feel like as if you gave the starting job to one of them, then it's. I don't know, I feel like Flacco, you know, Flacco's not going to be there long term. So I think it keeps the storyline going. It's a safe bet for now for Kevin Stefan. Now I think you, you, you squash some of the storyline. I think you, you say he's the starter and then you just let them compete behind the scenes. Then the young guys continue to develop. But I think it's the, the safe wise world. You guys are underestimating the media. They're going to stay all over this. Sanders Gabriel. You know what, it's true. But I think that it is the same. Would you agree? The safe bet though for Stefanski and the Browns. Yeah, we knew that Flacco was going starter. It's just how the rest of the dominoes are going to fall. It's the boring answer, but it's the obvious one. He is a Super bowl champ. Yeah, but you know, more exciting to hear something. Exactly. Thank you, Danny. Thank you guys. We got more convene on Rich and I do want to hear from from you guys as far as your feedback on baseball. We'll talk some football, but baseball realignment. Is this where Rob Manford would make his first bad decision? We'll take your feedback next. You couldn't leave well enough alone. Cut your little twist. Hello, I'm John Lithgow. We choose to go to the moon. I want to tell you about my new fiction podcast. That's one small step for man. It's about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of space. You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far as I'm concerned, the best I've seen. That's the story you think you know. This is the story. You don't predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide. We'll see Buzz try to overcome demons. What do you say, Buzz? Another beer. And triumph over addiction. Here's to you, Buzz Aldrin. Good luck to you and become a true hero. Buzz and I will proceed into the lunar module not because he conquers space, but because he conquers himself. Buzz, we intercepted a Soviet radio transmission starring me, John Lithgow. Can you put it through on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts? Columbia When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and Cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is going to push back on that colorism. All of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture, you'll hear from people like Congresswoman AOC I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the Mike Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know, right? Genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and Black Tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Lucas, spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green Money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or Wherever you get your podcasts, adventure should never come with a pause button.

You could listen, you could watch it. That's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. So please check it out. We had a great episode last week. Covino Enriched live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's Time for our tire rack play of the day. Caleb Williams looking sharp at the Buffalo 36. Dalman sends it back in the shotgun as a clean pocket throws. Zacchaeus caught 15, 10, 5 to the end zone. Touchdown. Touchdown Bears. 36 yards and the Bears strike they Williams to Zacchaeus. The Bears blew out the Bills 38 nothing. Even though it's preseason, it's fun to hear NFL calls goose egg. That's courtesy of Bears radio network. That's our tire rack play of the day Tire rack for over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free. Backed by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack.com the way tire buying should be. Now I looked at week one of the NFL, which is. I'm almost hesitant to look because how many days are we like 18, 17. 17. I'm 17 days away. I'm hesitant to dive in, Danny, because you know that once the NFL season starts, it's going to be like all we really talk about. Yeah. So I'm like trying to like 80% of the conversation. 80% of conversations once football starts are about the NFL and college football. So I'm trying to like, you know, the calm before the storm a little bit because I'm still loving baseball and everything else. It's one of the doubleheader games. On the first Monday night, Bears are hosting the Vikings. And I think with J.J. mcCarthy and Caleb Williams, that's going to be because we've talked about that division and how people assume the Lions will be a contender again. There's some people that think the packers are a top five team or so. So that leaves. Well, the Vikings were a postseason team last year and they fell short. Remember, Sam Darnold pooped the bed in the playoffs and it's like, oh man, they were 13 and 4 and Bah. Now where the quick to bed is called a grumpy. Oh, grumpy. A grumpy. Thank you, John. Thank you, Johnny Depp. Grumpy. That is what he called it. He called it a grumpy. Is it time for the Bears fans to actually have high hopes? Remember last year there was that crazy sentiment that Bears fans like we're making the postseason. It's like not so fast. Exactly one year ago on the Covino and Rich show, you two were talking about Caleb Williams and the Bears fans being so excited. I think they opened the season like four and two. Well, you remember what the turning point was. I remember. Oh the Hail Mary. The Hail Mary where against the Commanders. Correct. And the defender gave up on the play, almost celebrating. They lose the game and then that was like the wheels fell off. He celebrated prior to the Hail Mary. That was horrible. And that was like a turning point because up until that point the Bears are hanging in that division. And then again it all went south. But hey, we'll see. That's going to be a great double header on Monday night. Well, I'm not. I'm not. So I'm sorry. Not double header on Monday night. That's your Monday night game. Sunday night. The first Sunday night game Ravens at the Bills. You could argue and say that might be an AFC championship preview in week one of the NFL. So a hell of a lot of things to look forward to. But to wrap up the last conversation cove yeah Of Major League Baseball perhaps pressing their luck and it just leave things the way they are. I feel the same way about when the NCAA talks about having like 100 teams in March Madness. It's like, no, we're good. We don't need 100 teams. And when football, I think football would be wise to cap it at 18 games and that would be it. No more. They're going to go to 18. Nothing else. And then you start pressing your luck. Pushing your luck. And I think you could say that about every sport right during the Little League Classic, Rob Manford said there will be MLB expansion and realignment in the future. You don't want the Mets and Yankees in same division, do you? No, I don't. Yeah, see, we agree. I heart presents the Big 3 Championship next Sunday, August 24th.
