We hope you have an Aaron Rodgers sort of hump night. And we're gonna talk about. Yeah, a a Ron in a little bit. That's actual audio from Aaron Rodgers bedroom antics. That's not Iowa Sam at all. No. Hey, Samm, we got Danny G here super producing. We got Isaac Loewencron, and of course, we're Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Let's rock. Oh, yeah, by the way, Isaac put the smile on my face. And I hope he enjoys working with us the way we enjoy working with him. What a nice fella. Swell fella, for sure. Oh, boy. And it's always a pleasure working with Isaac. Consummate professional. That's the title I use for Dan Beyer. But Isaac's right up there with the best of them. I mean, you got to come up with a better one. You just think of them all the same. I know, but we got midweek major on this hump day. We got Iowa Sam with the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. We decide, are they mid week or major stories? Tom Brady's in the news. Aaron Rodgers news. But the biggest story today is Megan Fox's ass. Am I right? Have you. I right? Have you guys seen this? Megan Fox got ass work. I mean, obviously, I got to give credit where it's due. And it has nothing to do with Megan Fox. It has to do with kfc because he said, look, she was already Barry Bonds. She was already a Hall of famer. So she was already like Terminator days. I'm sorry, Transformer days. Yeah, she was already like Barry Bonds in his pirate uniform, but with the BBL and the butt implants or butt work she got done. She's like Barry Bonds on the Giants. Yeah, she's Barry Bonds on the Giants. She was Barry Bonds on the Pirates. Now. Now she's just like, next Level. I like the old Megan Fox, you know. Well, hey, before she was like a vampire. Apparently she got work done. Guys, I'm just kidding, but not really. Look it up on a really big story. But we're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. And if you miss any of today's show, any show ever, catch the podcast, search Covino and Rich, wherever you get your podc, Be sure to follow, rate and review.

If you guys need inspiration, we got you. YouTube.com rich fsr we're streaming live. The live chat is up at Covino and Rich FSR and let's go, man. I. I want to talk about Aaron Rodgers, but I want to tell you I just came straight from the gym and call me Dickie Columbus. I know you guys like to say that something doesn't exist until I discover it. We don't like to say it. We just say because it's true. Yeah, you like to say it. For example, I used to talk about going to the sauna. For years, it would go in one of Rich's ears and out the other, and he would criticize me and ask me about the benefits and why do I waste my time now. He's like the biggest spokesman for the sauna. Well, I just think that the combination of some of the things I'm doing might be working. I don't know. I feel like everyone around me is getting the sniffles and they're sick. Vitamin D. Sauna three or four days a week, and I'm on the nad. Plus, I don't know if that's doing anything, but I'm sorry, I'm distracted by Megan Fox's butt on our YouTube stream right now. Remember that time back in the day I told you about the show Penguin? Yeah, for weeks and weeks and weeks. And Rich ignored me. And then Rich watched it himself, finally comes in and acts like you never mentioned. That's the thing. It's not. It's not that now he's excited about it. He acts like you never said it and he's the first to tell you about it. That's why it's Dicky Columbus. We all are late to things and that's fine. And we discover things at our own time. That's fine. Danny, let me tell you about true tears. The way you present it, that makes People want to strangle you. That's really it. You want to strangle me? I get it. Dude, sauna. I get it. I'm sorry. Hold on. Let me ask Colin his thoughts. One second. No, not this again. Every play, every stat, every storyline, I've got it all. What do you want to know? Hey, Colin, do you ever hit the sauna, my bud? Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. I'm a sauna guy. Because it's the simplest reset button there is. Sweat, breathe, clear the head, move on. But I'm not doing the sit in there forever and prove your tough routine. That's ego. Oh, thank you, Colin. Okay, well, they go, you know, he's right. I do 15 minutes in and out. And then when people start talking to me about their life, I'm like, ah, I think it's time for me to go. Have a great one, buddy. I'm not here to talk to you. I've been using this app too much. I've been asking Colin for Colin for, like, marriage advice, parenting advice. Hey, all day, by the way, I deserve a medal. Do I get a Fox Sports Radio pin pen, medal, something I gotta hear this. This guy all day. Hey, Colin. Hey, Colin. I think it's ridiculous. Oh, my God. It's absurd. All right. Speaking of going to the gym, this is a. A perfect way to transition. Yeah, transition. I think the sauna is a great way. I use it, like, to wrap up my session, like to gather my thoughts. But I don't know if they say the health. The health benefits are fantastic. Yeah. But I'm saying I don't know if you should start your routine with that. And I end it. Okay, so cool. Hence the backwards hat. I was too sweaty and my ha. Was messed up. Yeah. So you guys talked recently about all the things that cause dementia. Apparently, the sauna is good for warding off the dementia, keeping it at bay, keeping it away. Has that entered your algorithm, too? Every other thing is like, how to avoid dementia when you're old. What causes dementia? Yeah, fighting back and forth. It's an awful, terrible disease. So it's great for your immune system, circulation. There's all sorts of health benefits, so they say. You know what? Honestly, it just relaxes you. It calms you down. I feel like if I can get through this miserable 15, 20 minutes, I can get through anything the rest of my day. Decompress a little bit, maybe sweat out some toxins, some of the damage he did over the weekend just a few times a week. 15, 20 minutes. And let's talk about Jim. Life a little bit. I was gonna say. Thanks for hearing me out since I discovered the sauna. All right. Aaron Rodgers. I, I, you know, a guy that usually I'm like, what is this guy talking about? His ayahuasca, his, you know, weird antics. But I do find him original. I find him intriguing. I know Danny G. Hates when I talk about him, so sometimes it makes me want to talk about him more. Well, there's certain people that transcend the game, and you like them for who they are, what they're about, like, they're interesting. Mike Tyson's one of those guys. Shia LaBeouf is another one of those guys. Like, what's going on? He's just an interesting dude because they're so vulnerable and honest, Right. And Aaron Rodgers is that guy in the NFL. He just loves to put it out there and talk about the things he's into. And he's really interesting, polarizing. It just depends how you feel about it. But he makes you feel some type of way, that's for sure. Well, Aaron Rodgers was on McAfee. And I don't think I've ever related to Aaron Rodgers more when he talked about one of the reasons, in fact, the reason he works out. I'm trying to stay fit. I mean, it's harder when you get older, so you kind of can't take the same amount of time off as you used to. You know, after so many seasons, I would take, you know, a few weeks off, a month off, month and a half now, you know, now 42, just to stay in shape. You gotta. You gotta kind of always be doubted on the diet and sleep and workouts. If you want to look the right way, you know, I want to look good. I want my wife to want to me all the time. Okay? I feel the same way. People say, why do you work out? And I think, of course, you could say, oh, health benefits and stuff like that. Because that's important, right? Longevity, health. I sound like Colin. Longevity health. The benefits of the sauna. Hey, Colin. Stars. Stars. But one of the main reasons I work out is I've always said I always want my wife to want me. Not because she married me, because she genuinely still wants me. I like it makes me sad when it's like when people like, oh, the old ball and chain or wives talking about their husband. But I'm pretty sure Cheap Trick had a song about it. I want you to want me long before you came up. Dickey Columbus, Robin Zander wrote these words down long before you came up. But I You know, you hear wives talking about their husband just looking like a big potato. You hear husbands being like, oh, my old ball and change. He used to be good looking. Saddlebags, old saddlebags. I. I never want my wife to be with me intimately and think I'm only doing this because he's my husband. And I guess we sort of have to. That really makes me sad. So part of when I go to the gym is because I want my wife to want me. I think anything that motivates you is good. I really do. I don't care what it is. Even if it's something like vengeful, if it motivates you in a weird way, you know, and I'll show them kind of thing, I think that's great. I don't care. Whatever gets your ass to the gym, whatever helps you work harder and push harder. I think that's a good thing. And I think this is just another layer to other things. Like I'm. I'm here to say. Should I say it in Russian? I fight for me, dude. I go to the gym. It's just quoting Drago and Rocky Ford. He doesn't know Russian. Oh, yeah, I'm quoting Ivan Drago. He said, I fight for me. I go to the gym for pure vanity reasons for myself, I swear. And health benefits. Health benefits, vanity reasons. And by default, you're looking good for your significant other. But I'm being straight up honest. Whether that makes me a jerk or not, I do it for me. You could say, nobody else, you could say it's selfish. But I want my wife to think always. That's not selfish, that's selfless. No, but I want. You're saying you do it for her. I do it because I want her. Because it all goes back to me, though, because it's self serving. I want her to think I made a great choice. Like, I want her as we get older, like, he's a provider, he stayed in shape, also keeps them on their toes. And I wouldn't be surprised if that's your, like, subconscious way of doing that. Well, if I'm looking good, yeah, you better not slippy. I know how rich rolls. He's like, look, I'm putting in the effort. You better be putting in the effort. But I think what Aaron Rodgers said there is super relatable. Hey, to me at least, I think there's a lot of people that go to the gym and people love to lead with the obvious. You do it for health. You want to live long for your kids, you know, no one no one wants to feel sick. I mean, we're all in front of cameras now. No one wants to streamline. Do you want to look like a slob? No one wants to battle disease and all the terrible things, But I think deep down inside, there should be a part of all of us that is like, yeah, and I sort of want my wife to want me. You want everybody, I think. I think it's a. It's a natural sort of need for everyone to want to feel desired on some level. And if it helps, there's no shame in that either. So, again, Aaron Rodgers, I respect your honesty. I really do. Do you want to go on vacation? I think that's a vacation. And have your wife do the old lazy starfish? Because it's just like, hey, we're married, so I guess let's do it. Or do you want. Or you want to be like, hey, we still are attracted to each other. Lazy starfish. I didn't know that was a name for that. The lazy starfish. No, it's coined your. Your ex girlfriend told me it was your movie. Yeah, I didn't know. And at the. It's called the lazy starfish. But look, I think it's a byproduct of. Of staying fit or at least doing your best. You don't need to be Johnny Ripple pecs. You don't need to be ripped like Jesus. In fact, the older you get, the harder it is. But if you're doing your best to maintain, I think that sends out the right signal. Now, when you say ripped like significant other. When you say ripped like Jesus, did he do P90X? He did, yeah. CrossFit, I think. Yeah. But yeah, Taiba, I think he had some abs for sure. So, Aaron Rodgers, his workout motivation is, I want my wife to want to F me. Oh, he was on this diet of bread and wine. They say, yes, it's. It's really, you know, but staying in shape at 42, honestly, I get it. You're an old guy on the field, but you're still a young guy in life, especially the way people are aging now. 42, get out of here. You know, Rich is on nads, like you said. N E, R, D. What do you want? NAD. NAD +42 is the new 32 is how I see it. NAD +. Just vitamin D. Daily vitamin sauna. I've heard a lot of people talking about, do you know a lot of your friends and people that get into, like, the Peptides and all these injections and things all the time? Everybody's Trying to look for a shortcut. Yeah, but. But shortcut or assistance adaptogens just, you know, do your best and try to stay healthy. Well, Danny G, I know this helps. I'm not judging anything, Danny. I know. All I'm saying is that. Yes. What am I saying, Rich? I don't know what you're saying. I was going to say, I know Danny G had cut back on sugar quite a bit. And I betcha it's twofold. One is that you got a young kid and you're a dad and you want to live a longer life. But I'm sure there's a part of you that's like, yeah, I want Brenda to want me. Yeah. I mean, I realized how much sugar was in some of the things that I was consuming every day. When you actually check the back of like a soda or something like that and you see the grams of sugar, like, holy s. I am going to get diabetes if I keep this up. Sodas. So I have cut. I checked the sugars. If it is above 11 grams of sugar, I do not buy it. Great. Comes from an expectation of yourself. And honestly, that's how I view it. I'm not trying to do any of this for anyone else but me. And I'm being dead serious about that because you should have an expectation of yourself and your own value and what you want to present and bring to the table as an adult, as a father, as a partner, and again with that self expectation. Right. Don't you have like a sense of pride like that you want to bring? Of course. And there's a part of. And the byproduct there is that's attractive to everybody. You're leading by example. You're showing the one you care about that you're putting yourself first. And I think that's fine. I'm not doing it for anyone else. Aaron Rodgers, I salute you. What is the one thing you did realize, like, how bad it is over the years? I saw some dude on TikTok and we all know this already, but he ordered quite possibly just by design, like the worst thing you could get at Starbucks. He was like, can I get the extra venti with the drizzle and the caramel? And he read off the ingredients and yeah, I used to get those caramel frappuccinos. He was like, yeah, 40 grams of sugar. Oh my goodness, 4,000 calories in one. To quote Jennifer Coolidge, double cream, double froth, double whip, double pump, double. Did you see that? Conversion, double cream, double froth, double cream, double froth. Double whip, double whip, double whip, double pump. And you're allowed to have that if you're balancing things out. No compliments on my Jennifer Coolidge. I thought that was pretty good. That was good. Double wrap, double cream, double cream, double pump, double froth. That's right. I like it. That's okay. That's good. I like it a lot. But, hey, so what's your motivation? Is it other women? Is it the women in your life? I want the other moms at the school to want me. I'll tell you straight up again, this is. It sounds different, but everyone's in front of a camera more so than ever before, especially younger people. It's not just people in media and entertainment, but when Rich and I were on ESPN every night, you better believe I saw myself on camera, and I was like, whoa, man, no time to trim up. Yeah, I'm not gonna look like that every night. So I got a diet and I lost the weight and I hit the gym. You know why? Now I do the, you know, bare minimum. I'm not. I know where I'm at. I'm not Mr. Universe, and I'm good with that. You know why go crazy? You know why? There's a lot of people that have, you know, focus on this a lot. And there's a lot of issues with people and their appearance, and there's an expectation as Isaac shows his arms. Oh, look at that. My goodness. Whoa. Oh, my goodness. That bowser from Shannon. Look at this guy. Is that. Is that the news anchor flex cam? Oh, my goodness. Look at this dude. Hey, Sam, you want to turn on Isaac's mic? I know he had 22 inch python. Sorry. My boss was in here talking to me. Important business matters over here. The microphone's not the only thing being turned on, boys. Well, I was wondering if Sam was talking to someone or if he was just in awe of your biceps. I was looking this direction. I don't have eyes in the back of my head. Isaac's in the back of my head. Good on you for looking the other direction. Yeah, I'm kind of. I kind of. I don't like the fact that I regret that I looked over. Anyway, I think it helps. Guys, that Tabasco shirt. Spicy. You know, there's a lot of guys. The reason we bring this up, too, is like, we just lost 27 viewers. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, but we gained 75 women. Look at that. They're all chiming in now. Rich and I talked to a lot of dudes throughout the years doing our Talk show. Right. And because we do Covino and Rich on Patreon, it's more lifestyle. And then, of course, we come here and talk sports and, and we have fun. But a lot of times they complain. Men complain a lot about how your physical relationship sort of weans off after a while. Right? But guys have a big time problem looking within and at themselves. It's like, well, she's not bringing it the way she used to. It's like, well, have you looked in the mirror lately, dude? Like, maybe there's a little more you could be doing. So use this Aaron Rodgers story as a reminder that, yeah, it does require a little effort on your part. Maybe that beer belly you got really isn't curling the toes like it used to. Right? And. And every. No one's what they used to be. We understand that. But you could do your best. And I, I think Aaron Rodgers is preaching the good word. But like I said, whatever motivates you is a good thing. I find the guy intriguing. And I just said it was a. An interesting thought saying that, you know, he's in his 40s, takes a little more to stay in shape. He has to work out a little more in the off season. And, you know, part two of that is that he wants his new wife to want to sleep with him. And that's a relief considering how much men complain about this stuff. The thing about this is he's great. He's talking about his wife. We still don't know what she looks like or who she is. She's still a mystery. That's Sam. It's like your girlfriend, right? Like, no one really knows. People know. People here have met her. You guys on a double date? Sam, isn't it, by the way, the anniversary of the backyard photo you gave Dan Byer coming up in a few days from last year. It was. What if I asked for, like, a picture of your girl, girlfriend and you sent him a picture of her yard or something? No, they were like, what's the weather like in Iowa in early March? And I just sent a generic picture of her backyard. Instead of like, you. Instead of like, you and her, it was just a picture of the yard. And then it was weird. Mantay Teo was in the backyard. He was in the shed. Yeah, but no, listen, Kristen, my girlfriend has more real identity than Aaron Rodgers. I thought Kristen was your cat. Your girlfriend's name Linnea Kaku or something like that. That is chummy. You know, Sam, I forgot for a minute, like, ye. We don't know who she Is, you're right about that. Yeah. There's been no reveal of who she is. There's been speculation if she even existed. But I, you know, the more he talks about her, the more we have to assume, yeah, she's real. It's like maybe you want to like. And he doesn't have to. He's. He can keep it a secret as much as he wants. But maybe it's like if you're talking about her, maybe we could like see a picture of her. Like, you know, oh, we started now. Now we want to see like who wants Aaron Rod. But yeah, exact crazy about this story. Like for you guys that are down and out, the guys that do complain about this to us all the time. We hear this all the time. It's a very common theme. Like, oh man. Yeah. It's been years since we got down. What was the stat? I told you the other day? Something miserable. I'm sure it was. No, I remember it now. What was it? Was it? Not one out of three men hasn't touched a woman in a year. Yes. Like something absurd. But I want to put this in perspective as I look, as I look around, as I look around the room, like even Aaron Rod, this guy's a thought. It was hall of Famer, one of nine rich. You're trying to turn us into losers. No, no, it was a one in three. That's imposs. Yeah, look that up. I'm going to look that up. But Aaron Rodgers, think about it. He has to keep his woman wanting him. Like being a superstar in the NFL, making millions isn't enough. So I think we all need to put a little more effort in. And if it's just for you or if it's just for her, either way it's. It's healthier and it's a win win. So it's a healthier choice. So make it happen then. And you know to back up everything you're saying about vanity being part of the workout. Do you know that? I admit I read an interesting article that said humans were never designed or intended to see themselves as much as we do. Think about a caveman where you see your reflection in a river. Maybe we like pond a river. You can't see your selfies, cameras, mirrors, all these things are things that weren't necessarily intended for us to see ourselves nonstop. Right non stop. Yeah. So that gets, that gets in your head a little bit. And by the way, New York Post last week, Americans are on a verge of sextinction as shocking numbers are going without sex. And they blame social media. People are experiencing extended periods of sexlessness in the US a staggering 1 in 3 men and 1 in 5 women that can't be have not been intimate in the past 12 months. And Aaron Rodgers is trying to prevent that from happening. Happening. There's no sex. Thank you, Sam. All right, listen, we got more coming on Rich. Tom Brady's in the news. Who is he calling a big. We'll get to that midweek major. I have a Juan Soto thought. My dude Juan Soto. And I'm not wearing a Juan Soto shirt today. Today I'm representing my dude, Francisco Lindor. So we'll talk some baseball, get you all fired up for the WBC and mlb. More next with Kavino and Rich. Is your business struggling? Struggling to find qualified candidates? Well, you're not alone.

Like of the times, It's Chinese Taipei versus Australia tonight, 7pm on the west, 10pm on the east, and then USA plays on Friday. Yeah, I gotta ask. Before we get into more baseball and some Tom Brady talk, I do have one question and I'm going to get to Juan Soto. I heard Isaac in his update and yesterday we talked about Kyler Murray out, right? Gets released. Cardinals save a little money by doing it this way. He's a free man. He has a couple. Couple ideas of where he wants to go. The Dolphins dragging their feet a little bit on tour, right? There's no update on tour that, but likely out, right. Stefan Diggs out today. Which of these free agents, well, which of these free men essentially do you think will find like a nice fit for next year? Do you like. Is there someone where you're like, man, Kyler Murray, if he finds up in Minnesota, they got something like, I think for Kyler Murray to move on, like he wanted to leave or. Well, yeah, he did. He said he wanted the release, I'm sure. Yeah. But I know it didn't work out the way he wanted to. But for him to leave 30 something on the table for next year, 30 something million. I think he has to have something up his sleeve. I know that there's options out there. I mean, I think he's already. He's already made so much money, more money than he would have ever made in baseball unless he was, you know, like Soto level, you know, Mookie Betts level, Ohtani level or something. I read an opinion piece this morning that the jets should pursue to a. I just heard earlier that Arch Manning is. Has. You know, jets have their eye on what. What could happen if they figure a way to get Arch Manning in a year or so. I don't know, man. I is to a placeholder or some of these guys. I wonder. And then you, you know who else. I see a lot of people rumbling about the Niners are hoping to retain him. But have you been following along the off season of Mac Jones? This guy's like the life of the party. I don't know. I did not know the side of him. The 49ers are all partying and vacationing together. Mac Jones is dancing and drinking and having fun. That guy, Kendrick Bourne, right? Dude, Magic, buddy. Buddy. Mac Jones looks like the most fun dude you'll ever see in your life. Never saw this side of him. And they're saying the Niners did you remember him shirtless smoking the cigar after he won the nanny at Alabama with the dad bod. Come on. You know what? Maybe I did forget, but Mac Jones is a guy that. It just seems like a real good locker room type of dude. And the 49ers are saying, if you want Mac Jones, you're going to have to part with a first round draft pick, which I don't think will happen. So he'll probably be the Niners backup again, but Mac Jones might be someone suitable guy. Who knows? But we're talking about football, and it's not even the season. I loved how Mac Jones was beating people in the head with snowballs. Yeah. In New York. I mean, the guy's just having fun. Mac Jones could be the next guy. He could be the next Sam Darnold or Baker for all we know. And speaking of football, the story today is Aaron Rodgers. His workout motivation at 42 is he had to stay in shape, but so his wife wants to continue effing him. And I'm quoting Aaron Rodgers. Good reason. And to wrap up my point, again, whatever motivates you is great, but I think if you have a standard that you set for yourself and you're doing your best to meet that standard, everything else happens the way it should because that doesn't guarantee she's still going to want you. You could be the weakest dude going, but you're in great shape. You could just do your best to be a ripped loser. Yeah. So, hey, but it's great to hear that Aaron Rodgers is motivated at 42. Let me sh. As you said, we're getting ready for the World Baseball Classic. I am, totally. Have you guys been seeing my dude, Juan Soto rip the COVID off the ball? Yeah. This guy's in a zone where I'm almost like, dude, you should have saved it. Juan Soto hit a home run in front of his grandpa in the Dominican Republic. The crowd looked like it was game seven of the World Series. Just to show you the international passion of baseball. If you haven't seen the clip, Juan Soto hits a bomb. 420 plus feet. The crowd is all jumping in unison like they're at a rock concert in the 80s. Well, that's how, again, it's culturally different. Manny Machado's on record for saying that one of those doctor games he played in was the loudest game he ever played in his life. And he seemed like. He said there was a band in every section, just going nuts, playing instruments, having the time of their life. So the atmosphere is totally different. I think that plays into. You know what you're witnessing the reaction. Those are his people, man. You can't compare what he's doing in front of his people and his family and the pride and those teammates, Those are his boys. Well, I have a question for you then. And Isaac and Danny and Sam and everyone for that matter. 87799 on Fox. When you see Juan Soto, that doctor team stacked. And it's not just him hitting bombs. He's playing to the crowd. He's doing the Soto shuffle again. He has special handshakes with each teammate when he scores. This is a very different Juan Soto than. Because the difference is. And I think your boy, you know that shirt you're wearing right now, Lindor made it very clear they're not all best friends. It's a job. It's more like a job. It's the difference between working with your boys and working with your colleagues. Right. So the Mets would be his colleagues. All these Dominican dudes are his boys. They all grew up the same way, same culture, same people. They have a built in sort of camaraderie. They're playing in front of their. There's their country grandpa. Yeah, his grandpa. Like, it's deeper than that and you see it and it shows. And that's why tournaments like this are so prideful and they mean that much more. So there's layers to this. There is. Is it Juan Soto's joy of playing in the Dominican Republic? Was he that unhappy with Lindor and Alonzo and Nimmo and all these guys? Apparently the Mets shipped out because. Did you know there was dissension? I think we all know what Soto's capable of. I think this is a reminder of the type of guy he's could capable of being. You could picture what I'm talking about, you know, when Soto gets down low and does that low, the low five, of course. Yeah. He's feeling. He's feeling himself. He's feeling everything. And as a Mets fan who watches day in and day out, I was like, where was that Juan Soto last year? His numbers were big, but when he would hit a home run, it would be like he almost gave Pete Alonzo a handshake. It was work, you know, felt like work. This feels different. I don't know. And again, you know, not to put it all on the Mets. This is a tournament. People take a lot of pride in representing their country. And I think that's what we're downplaying as well. Although as a Mets fan, I would hope, Rich, that he takes some of this vibe, some of this momentum, this motivation, this excitement. And I hope he brings it to Queens. You know, he brings it to the Mets. I said to you when we were doing our pre show meeting, I said, you know, it's a reflection of what he's capable of. And I'll make a dirty analogy. Oh, boy. You know, when you go on vacation or you first start dating a girl and let's just say you have that good vacation, hotel loving, oh boy. And you thinking to yourself, oh, you show me what you're capable of. So when we get back home, see what you did, Loincron, you showed some arms and you got Rich all worked up. I'm just. I mean, it's expected. Sorry, Isaac. You start flexing in there and now Rich is all horned up. Wasn't the first time, won't be the last. I'm just saying. No, but, but it's true though. If your girlfriend or wife gets all kinky on vacation. Okay, yeah, she's. What she's doing is she's showing you what she's capable of. And I'm seeing Juan Soto now. Sh. Every Mets fan. What I'm capable of setting an unrealistic bar is capable of doing his Juan Soto shuffle. He's capable of playing with joy. And much like a horned up wife on vacation, Juan stto has showed us his cards. And it's like, well, if you don't do that in Queens now with, you know, with Polanco and Simeon and, and your new teammates and you know, make amends with door, then that's on you. So Juan showed, Soto showed me. You know what it reminds me of? Have you guys ever seen these videos on social media? Isaac, I'm sure you have. Where a wife will be like, here's all pictures of my husband with me and he has like, like a frown on. And it's like, here's my husband on a fishing trip and he's smiling ear to ear with a fish. Like, I know you're capable, Juan Soto. Soto, you're capable. Once you set that standard, there's no moving back because people know what you're capable of. And isn't that an old Chris Rock bit? Like men can't move back sexually and women can't move back financially. Like once they've seen that, once they've experienced this, they can't move backwards. You can't be hanging Aaron's Juan Soto high five and his Dominican teammates and compadres. You can't bring that weak ass dull energy to the Mets Yeah. Okay. You can't be hanging naked from a chandelier on vacation and then just lay there when you get home. All right? With that said, Isaac Lone Crown. What's doing, bud? Chandelier. Huh? Just say. I'm saying. I don't know. Sorry. Booking a vacation. Yeah. Looking up light fixtures. Yeah, it's gonna go to Home Depot right after this. I was at Home Depot earlier today. I'm not kidding. All right, fellas, we got plenty of news across all aspects of football. The AFC champion New England Patriots are releasing four time Pro bowl receiver Stefan Diggs, who posted on his Instagram stories of the Patriots quote, thank you for a hell of a year. We family forever, unquote. The Kansas City Chiefs are trading all Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for four draft picks, including a first rounder. The Dallas Cowboys restructured the contracts of quarterback Dak Prescott, receiver CD Lamb and left guard Tyler Smith in order to get into the salary cap. The Los Angeles Chargers released offensive lineman Makai Becton and tight end Will Disley. The New York Giants released linebacker Bobby o'. Carricay. Former Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz passed away at the age of 89. Holtz went 130 and 2 over 11 seasons as the head coach of the Fighting Irish, including a national championship in 1988 that they clinched with a Fiesta bowl victory over West Virginia. And there it is, the final seconds tick away. And Notre Dame will duly celebrate a national championship. No doubt. The Irish are number one. Finally, Covino and Rich. We have a bodybuilding updatecheely has accused beloved Fox Sports Radio personalities Covino and Rich of having spindly leg muscles. Posting and I quote, good thing those stick legs are hidden by the desk. Couple of upper body only dudes, unquote. Back to you guys. I skipped leg day my whole life, Isaac. Yeah, it's true. That is true. Chicken legs Covina over here. And by the way, thank you, Isaac. Great update to back me up, my buddy Chris just hit me up. He's listening in Connecticut. Yeah. And he was saying watching Juan Soto celebrate with the Dr. Team is actually making him mad. I go, no, no. You just gotta hope now that he showed you what he's capable of and he brings that excitement that he also had with the Yankees a little bit to Queens this year. That's all you gotta hope for. And you hope again to tie it to yourself. You mentioned that fishing thing. Yeah. On the flip side, too, like, there's a lot of times I'll see my girlfriend partying like, she'll post videos of her partying with her girlfriends and she's bringing all this excitement and she's doing karaoke and she's partying. I'm like, where's the hell that fun when you're hanging with me? Yeah, it gotta go both ways. You know, you, you want that to happen all the time. So if I were a Mets fan, Juan Soto better bring that fun. So her most fun is without you is what you're saying. That's not what you want to feel like, right? I want to dive into that later. All right, we got more Camino and Rich. Sam has got midweek major. I'm excited about that. We'll give away prizes with Mike's words of wisdom. All next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

It's so interesting because you're. You're right. Mexicans are torn right now. Like, oh, my goodness, do I cheer for Mexico or the Doyers? And Cavino could say that he's Mexican. I know. But it seems like every world baseball team, World Baseball Classic team is like an all star squad, and they've been clobbering all these other teams. Mexico and Dodgers are tied right now at 4. So it's like all star team versus all star team. Steve, remember when I saw you wearing that Mexico hat and I thought it was a Travis Matthew hat? Yeah. And it's similar. It is similar. I have my Travis Matthew hat on right now. And when I was at the gas station about an hour and a half ago, somebody said, yeah, go Mexico. Funny. Shout out to all the Vatos Locos. Travis, Mateo. I'm so torn. I'm so torn right now. Do I root for the Doyers or Mexico? Well, I gave Danny the hypothetical yesterday. If you want to listen to the pop. What if Ohtani was up against Team USA in, like, the final moment? Like, as a Dodgers fan, do you pull for the guy, Your guy Ohtani, or, I mean, you want to see him play good in the tournament, but not against usa? I agree. I agree. Usa all day, Covino and Rich, live from the Fox Sports Radio studio is time for Our tire act play of the day. In a surprising upset, Arizona State beat number 14 Kansas 7 to to 60. Johnson directing traffic cross court to Mae Usen 7 to shoot Mae Houston out to pig. Tries a three, hits it pig Johnson with a huge three. Did he say Big Johnson? Pig Johnson. Oh, okay. So I think that is his nickname. See what Isaac did. See what Isaac did. Got you all worked up. That was courtesy of Sun Devil Radio Network.

All right, in a little bit, we are going to go over Mike's words of wisdom, give away a prize. Sam's got midweek major. But to wrap up the Soto conversation. In life, in sports and anything, if you see what someone's capable of, do you feel like that is the standard in which they should be held? Yes. Like, if you are like Big Mike, who runs this place, who. You'll hear his words of wisdom in a little bit. Mike's like, that's the advice I tell all young men. I go, what? He goes, manage expectations. He said, a lot of young dudes are Captain Romance. Let me give you a massage. Let me take you out. Let me do this. And then when the relationship happens, they can't maintain that. So it's also about pacing yourself. You know, it's like a comedian doesn't start off with his strongest jokes. Right. You gotta build. You gotta build it up. A band doesn't play all their hits and then play the junk. Like, you gotta space it out. Yeah. You gotta pace yourself. Space it out a little bit. Manage expectations. And I just hope that Soto brings that momentum into the Mets locker room. I think they need it. Yeah. Old clubhouse. Don't be surprised, man. Don't. Don't downplay the pride that these players are feeling representing their country. It's a whole different vibe. I'm certainly not saying we don't have pride in the U.S. i mean, you see it in the Olympics, but in something like the World Baseball Classic. Major League Baseball is in the United States. So. So there is a little something different about these guys going back and proudly playing for where their family is from or where they're from. Different. Yeah. So there is a little bit difference. Like, you got to be real with yourself. Juan Soto playing in front of his grandpa in the Dominican Republic is Way different than Bryce Harper taking some hacks with a Team USA jersey on the pride there. But shouldn't be that way. That's why I'm trying to say, hey, we should be supporting our dudes. This team stacked because everybody else is getting that support and they're getting fired up. And if we don't get them fired up, they're going to lose. USA has to win this one, man. We'll. We'll see. That's, as I said yesterday, a nice little appetizer. The spinach artichoke dip, so to speak, of the Major League Baseball season. Or what's a hot one now? Oh, Brussels sprouts. That's like the hot appetizer. Yummy. Mm, yummy.
