Fourth quarter one point game. But the real action is at the snack table because you didn't just mash avocados, you swirled in Philadelphia Cream Cheese for a guac dip. So creamy, so unexpected, it's drawing double coverage. The real MVP of game day. So good it's in the bowl shaped like a sombrero. You don't follow a recipe, you Philly it whenever you Philly like it. Philadelphia Cream Cheese Life's messy.

Kavino
I think we're gonna say Billy Madison style.
Rich
Back to school. It's NFL Eve and I am Steve and that is Rich and we're Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Let's go, by the way, back to school. Out here in the mean streets of la, kids started school a few weeks ago, so today was picture day. And you just hope that your kid's picture comes out okay. And sure enough, I have a pain in the ass teenage daughter. She already hit me up with I hate my picture. I'm like, you got it already.
Kavino
That's what you look like, buddy.
Rich
I just don't understand in the world of digital photos, how about you get one that looks okay? Aren't we paying for this crap? So now I got to deal with that attitude when I get home. I hope your night is better. Is Covino Enrich.
Kavino
And I hope your Yankees lose. So.
Rich
Oh, by the way, Rich and I have a bet, right? We've been talking about it. Whoever's going to have the better record wins $1,000.
Kavino
Not feeling, not feeling good about it.
Rich
But do you remember the inside Yankees bet between Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm? We talked about it briefly. I thought it was fun. They made like a friendly bet with each other.
Kavino
Oh, I know the bet they made, but you probably talk about mostly on your corny Yankees chat. You probably have Going on?
Rich
No, but the bet was not who has more home runs, who has more home runs and stolen bases combined. You remember that? Because Chisholm was like, that should be the stat. It should be a stat. Home runs and stolen bases combined. He said, if 30, 30 and 40, 40 matter so much, that should be a stat.
Kavino
Okay, so where are they at right now?
Rich
I looked it up because Chisholm hit two bombs last night. He's winning 54 to 52. So Aaron Judge has.
Kavino
Give me those numbers again.
Rich
54 to 52.
Kavino
Oh, because Juan Soto has 64 combined. Just letting you know. Just letting you know. Just letting you know.
Rich
Just letting you know. All right, thank you, Donald Trump.
Spotty Boy
If Ohtani wasn't pitching this season, he'd have a yaw.
Rich
No, but I looked it up because I was curious. I was like, what was that bet at?
Kavino
Juan Soto's got 27 stolen bases and 37 home runs.
Rich
Chisholm's gonna end up 30, 30, probably. So he's at 28 home runs and 26 stolen bases, and judges at 43 home runs. And where is he? Like, nine stolen bases. So again, Jazz is in the lead. 54, 52.
Kavino
But anyway, what does Frankens. Frankenstein getting a bad jump with three steps in, judges at second.
Rich
I think that should be a stat, though, if we're gonna put emp on 40. 40 and 50. 50 and 30, 30. How does that not count? So anyway, then, you know, kind of fun.
Kavino
Know who would have the highest total ever? Am I wrong? By guessing? Did what meant. Remember when Acuna did it?
Rich
Oh, that's a good one.
Kavino
Didn't he have, like. He had the 40 home runs, obviously, but didn't he have, like, 60, 70 stolen bases that he might have the highest total?
Rich
That's kind of cool. Yeah. I don't know what was.
Kavino
Ohtani had 50. 50. Right.
Rich
So he had 50 50. Yeah. Officially the first to do it. So just giving you the update there. Big Yankees fan. Rich is a Mets guy. Danny G. Dodgers. Who's your team? Baseball. Did you forget?
Ty
Sorry, I was listening to something else.
Kavino
What was the. What were you listening to?
Rich
Proclaimers.
Spotty Boy
Yeah, he's preparing Mike's words of wisdom.
Rich
He's preparing the words of wisdom from that.
Ty
My favorite baseball team.
Dan
He's.
Kavino
Let's say it's a creed.
Ty
I was. I. I grew up a Phillies fan, but, you know.
Rich
Nice. All right.
Ty
By the way, I like the Dodgers, too.
Rich
I looked it up.
Kavino
When Ohtani went 50, 50, do you remember what his final numbers were? Because I guarantee it wasn't 114 that year. Ronald Acuna Jr. He hit 41 home runs and he had 73 stone bases.
Rich
I wonder if that's. Is that the.
Kavino
It's about to be, right? I mean, think about who has ever.
Dan Beyer
Had a better most combined or that were 40, 40 with most.
Kavino
I would say most combined has to.
Dan Beyer
Be Acuna Jr. No, it's kind of a tricky thing. Ricky Henderson stole 130 bases. 140. But that's why I wanted to make sure. Are you talking like 40, 40 guys who qualified?
Kavino
I think to make what Camino's saying that stat, I think you have to go 30. 30.
Rich
That's fair.
Kavino
20, 20 is mild.
Rich
I think still solid though.
Kavino
I mean, yeah, Ricky. The Ricky.
Rich
The Ricky was just stealing.
Kavino
The Ricky would get on base and steal two bases every time.
Rich
Good call, db.
Kavino
Db. Thank you for making us feel stupid, but.
Rich
No, no, no.
Dan Beyer
But he meant to.
Kavino
No, but if you're thinking of that home run stole base. Because Ricky did hit 10, 20 home runs in years, right? He hit some. He had some years. But I do think that if you say minimum 30 home runs like a guy that was in the 30, 30 club. No, I don't think anyone's touching Acuna Jr. With 41 and 73 had a year, man.
Rich
So anyway, hope your teams are winning. Every Wednesday we do midweek major, so we do that later on today. The biggest stories in sports and pop culture. But we also do something called Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom. All you have to do is listen and repeat verbatim.
Kavino
Could I give you one fun fact in the vein of Dan Beyer when he just made me feel like a dunce?
Rich
Leave your vein out of this.
Kavino
I had a buddy give me a trivia question. This is one where you could absolutely trick anyone because it's like one of those semantic.
Rich
Okay.
Kavino
One of my softball buddy says, I bet you'll never guess what major league baseball player in history has the most go ahead home runs in history. And the answer is Ricky Henderson because he has the most lead off home runs. So anytime he started off a game, if he hit a home run, one, nothing. There's your go ahead home run. So that's like one of those like trivia questions. So who has the most go ahead home runs in history? The Ricky. Rest in peace. All right, you want to do this? Mike's words of wisdom. Let's kick it.
Rich
Oh, it's time for the guy that runs this place.
Dan Beyer
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does Not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.
Rich
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. Healing is more about accepting pain and.
Kavino
Learning to coexist with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which is impossible.
Rich
Was Mike on the turret when he recorded that one?
Spotty Boy
Sounded like he was inside a coffin.
Rich
I know. That's some pretty sage advice, though.
Kavino
That's actually.
Rich
I know. Wow. You know, it's like not. It's like serious.
Spotty Boy
Definitely gonna happen.
Kavino
Nothing light hearted or fun about that at all.
Spotty Boy
Rich. I was gonna say it was long, too. We're gonna have to play it again, I think for a winner.
Kavino
One more time, Sam.
Rich
One more time. Okay, here we go. Healing is more about accepting pain and.
Kavino
Learning to coexist with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which is impossible.
Rich
Mike was in the mood, I guess. So if you could repeat that verbatim, we give you a bribery ball, an NFL, an official NFL nerf football. CNR on fsr. Nerf football in the form of an iou.
Kavino
Mike knows this is supposed to be like a light, fun game, right?
Rich
Okay, let's get the phones going.
Kavino
Two weeks ago, his words of wisdom were like real fake. Boobs can't be fake if I could see them. Like, that was his words of wisdom two weeks ago.
Rich
There's no limits on it, right?
Kavino
He went deep.
Rich
This was like Confucius. Hey, we're here to learn some stuff. 87799 on Fox. If you could repeat it, you win a prize. 87799 on Fox. And while we get the phone calls going.
Kavino
Yeah.
Rich
Let's talk about your boy who just became your boy today. Novak Djokovic, again, who had a big win at the US Open. He ended the US's dreams of moving forward and advancing. Right. Taylor Fritz. Is that the guy that lost? But Djokovic made a nice speech and he did a little dance.
Kavino
Yeah. And you know what? It sort of hit me right here in the corazon. In the heart. Because he gave his daughter a shout out. Take a listen. It's 20 minutes to midnight here. Second September. It's my daughter's birthday, so this is a big present for her. Actually, the dance. In the end, it was. She's going to rate me tomorrow. How? How was the dance? Because she told me how to dance. It's a K Pop Demon Hunters. Soda Pop is the. Is the name of the song. Obviously. It's a big thing globally for teenagers and for kids. But I didn't know about it before. My daughter told me a few months ago about it. So we're at home doing different choreographies and this is one of them. So hopefully I'll make her smile when she wakes up tomorrow morning. You're my soda pop. You're my soda pop. I got an eight year old daughter. I get it. I coach girls softball. All they want to hear is K Pop Demon Hunters. So to me, I listen Novak Djokovic, already a champion, but now I look at him as a guy that humanized himself. He's caring about doing dances with his daughter.
Rich
His daughter Tarajovic, who's eight years old and is a big fan of the demon hunter thing. I mean, everybody's talking about, by the way, if you're not living that life. That movie has broken all streaming records for Netflix. It's the most streamed movie ever on Netflix.
Kavino
And it's really just a movie about K Pop animated stars that have to fight demons. It's ridiculous, but every sweep in the nation, every kid loves it. I told you, my first practice for my daughter's 8U girl softball team, and they were like, coach Rich, Coach Rich. The whole time at the Bluetooth speaker, all they want to hear was on repeat, demon hunters. Demon hunters. So when I see Novak Djokovic made you emotional. It made me emotional. I see him winning, you know, a big moment, moving on in the U.S. open, and he's doing choreography that he's doing with his daughter in the living room.
Rich
It was really endearing. Yeah, there you go. I was gonna say cute, but that wasn't the word. It was. It was really endearing and nice to see. So the point here is, if you weren't a fan before, you might be now, because you don't see Djokovic to tennis player, you see Djokovic to dad. You see the person. You see this guy just trying to make his daughter happy and make his daughter smile. And that's a really nice thing. And that humanizes him and makes him more relatable. And that's what we're getting at now.
Kavino
And that's why Kavino, that's why I will end up rooting for certain players.
Rich
For sure. It made me like him a lot more.
Kavino
Listen, dude.
Rich
And I've never seen stupid K Pop Demon Hunter.
Kavino
I live in the, in the neighborhood next to his. But a lot of people, you see Matthew Stafford out and about with his daughters, and you see clips of him and his daughters, you're like, it humanizes Him. I think of Drew Brees.
Rich
Is that a subtle brag right there?
Kavino
No, I was like a Stafford in the neighborhood. If you live in my neighborhood, you know that the Staffords are out and about all the time.
Rich
The Staffords.
Kavino
Do you live in the hood, keeping up with the Staffords? Where do you live? In the barrier. You live in Sherman Oaks?
Rich
Streets of la, bro.
Kavino
Yeah, you sound like you live in. You don't live in Koreatown, pal.
Rich
I don't say I don't know. You know who lives down the street?
Spotty Boy
Who lives down the street from me? The black Ghostbuster. Was it Ernie?
Rich
Ernie Hudson?
Kavino
Who are you going to call him? Ernie Hudson?
Rich
Yeah.
Spotty Boy
So I'm in CVS.
Rich
Yeah. He's in great shape. He's 175 years old. He's in great shape, that guy.
Kavino
I think of Drew Brees holding his with the headphones when he won the Super Bowl.
Rich
You know, say, like, don't say things like that in. On the radio because then the boss is never going to give you a raise.
Kavino
Oh, you're right. I live.
Rich
Yeah, I live.
Kavino
I live in a trailer park.
Rich
That's right.
Kavino
So that was so rich.
Spotty Boy
Lives in Reseda.
Rich
I live in a van down by.
Kavino
I live in Reseda with Daniel Larissa's mom in a crappy apartment.
Rich
That's right.
Kavino
I. I think about how shows like receiver shows like quarterback, NBA, starting five, These. These reality shows. Why do we all love Kirk Cousins now? Why. Why do you have a soft spot for.
Rich
Because he gets his haircut at Great Clips.
Kavino
Why do you have a soft spot for, you know, Justin Jefferson?
Rich
Right. All right, so basically we open it up to you. Fox Sports Radio Nation. 87799 on Fox. The moments that humanize somebody and made you a fan, made you like them more. Maybe you already were a fan, but you liked them even more because they were humanized in the moment. Tell us who it is and what the moment was. And of course, we're still taking phone calls for Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. Looking for a winner now.
Spotty Boy
No, we're not taking calls. First time ever Mike's been shut out.
Rich
Really?
Spotty Boy
Yeah. The lines are usually melting during this game.
Kavino
No one wanted to repeat that.
Spotty Boy
Nobody could repeat it.
Kavino
Apparently, everyone's Getting It Wrong. 87799 on Fox. Hey, a prize is up for grabs. And of course, we'll take your phone calls on those moments where a player.
Rich
Can I give you one?
Kavino
A celebrity. It doesn't need to be an athlete. It could be.
Rich
It's a Simple one. I was always a fan. I'm not a Patriots fan, but I'm a fan of greatness. So I always like Tom Brady. I had a song and everything. Tom Brady is the man. Tom Brady, man. But when I watched the documentary, I forget which one it was. It was probably the man in the arena, but it was when you saw his family just referring to him as little Tommy all the time. Like, oh, Tommy. They were so proud of Tommy. Yeah, Tommy. And Tommy did this, and Tommy was a good boy. And they were so proud of Tommy and my brother Tom when they just referred to him as little Tommy.
Kavino
Yeah.
Rich
And you realized that he was just a goofy kid that worked really hard. And he may be a superstar in our eyes and our mind, but to his family, he's just Little Tommy. And his dad is his hero. And I, when they humanized him, in a way, it made me like him more. You know, living out here in Los Angeles. I have a girlfriend, right. Of course I love her. But you know what I love her most? When I see her with her family in Idaho, and I realize that, oh, yeah, she's a girl from Idaho who loves her family, and it humanizes them.
Kavino
Well.
Rich
Right.
Kavino
You know why this is interesting? Because I said this just the other day to you.
Rich
When you see them in their real element, as real people, not sports robots.
Kavino
I was telling you just the other day. Nolan McClain for the Mets is now 4 0, by the way.
Rich
Yeah. Guy's got some movement.
Kavino
He's got some movement. The first game in the bigs when I saw his parents in the stands. Or the Mets had another pitcher make a debut. Tong debuted the other day. When you see the parents of a kid making his Major League baseball debut, there's a famous clip of a Florida marlin who hit his home run, his first home run, while his parents are being interviewed. This is a couple years ago. And the dad's going nuts. It makes you feel some type of way because you're like. It humanizes them. You're like, oh, wow. These are his parents who watch him every single time.
Rich
You're relatable. You're more invested as a result.
Kavino
Yeah.
Rich
And Rich is right. Djokovic. I know he's a tennis great, but.
Kavino
That was his coolest moment.
Rich
That was by far his coolest moment. Made me like him in a different way. All right. You know what I did? I respected him as a tennis name and a guy who did great things in tennis. Now I actually like the guy because he was doing something cute. He's Fun for his kid.
Kavino
He's not too cool to do a demon hunter dance with his kids.
Rich
So other humanizing moments. Did you mention it? I was looking at the phones and everything. Did you mention Drew Brees?
Kavino
Yeah, I said when his kid came out. But that's. I feel like a lot of times when you see. When you see athletes, you know what I thought was cool, too?
Rich
When you see them with their family and everything, that's always nice.
Kavino
Every team does this. But you're only going to know your own team doing this. But the Mets have a day every year where the kids of the players announce their dads in the lineup. Like, now batting my dad number, you know, number 12, Francisco Lindor. And when you see the kids introducing their dad, you're like, yeah, they're just guys with kids.
Rich
It's anything that humanizes him. Like, I don't know why this came to mind, but I remember thinking, oh, yeah, that's right. These are real people with real feelings. You know, we should treat them with a different level of understanding and grace and respect. When Wilmer Flores got traded from the Mets, remember, like, how he was just so upset and he was crying. He was crying and everything and, yeah, get it together, bud. But still, you're like, oh, man, these people care. That's right. They got lives and stuff and it means a lot. It humanizes them. And I always remember that, like, there's a guy with a big heart.
Kavino
You and Danny G. Love talking about hard knocks. When you see a guy trying to make the team and you're like, wow, look at how much this means to not only him, but his family and everyone.
Rich
Oh, when you see those dudes praying every day.
Spotty Boy
I was gonna say, I think it feels more emotional for some reason when it's two athletes together having a moment. Like Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb walked off the field for the last time together.
Rich
Remember, I thought you'd see the more Hamlin because of what Rich that humanized that guy where the whole world is rooting for him. And now you see him on Hard Knocks and, you know, you see him praying every day, just grateful to be alive and on the team. So humanizing moments that really left an impression and changed your opinions or maybe enhanced your opinions on athletes. 87799 on Fox. And right now we're gonna see if we could get a winner for this game.
Kavino
You wanna say let's add a trip? First, we'll talk about humanizing. Give these people another second to think about Mike's words of wisdom. What's up, Tripp.
Dan
Hey, great day as always. It's good to, you know and Rich. I got one. John Cena has done more make a wishes than in double than anybody combined. I mean, the time he gives for kids is just unbelievable. Yeah, that's why I appreciate him.
Kavino
No, no doubt. For sure. 100%.
Rich
See a lot of those stories. It does change your opinion for sure.
Kavino
Can I tell you, I notice and you might say, really, you take that close of a look. I do. When they did like the Little League World Series game this year or they do. When I see MLB all star break when we were in Atlanta, I pay attention to what athletes really dive into, like signing autographs and palling around with the kids. Because some people, you can tell, you're like, look at this jerk. Like he. He's sort of maybe doing it because he has to. But then you see other players that realize the impact they have on kids.
Rich
Oh, dude, it's the best.
Kavino
And those are the players I end.
Rich
Up liking more, for sure. To back up what Tripp said, I've always been a Canelo Alvarez fan. I'm team Canelo. Come Sept.13th, he takes on Crawford. I saw on ESPN. What's the segment they do where they find like the make a wish kid?
Spotty Boy
Oh, one wish.
Rich
Yeah. Is it one wish?
Spotty Boy
Is it one wish? Is that what it's called?
Rich
I don't know. But they, they found this one kid with cystic fibrosis. 14 year old kid who just wanted to be a fighter and Canelo welcomed him to his camp. I bought a Team Canelo hat that day because I was like, man, I liked them before, but now my wish, My wish. That's it. I saw my wish segment and Canelo is like Rascal flats. He was there for the kid and hyped him up and like, it warmed my heart so much, I'm like, you know what? Yeah, he's a fighting robot, but he's still a dad. He still has a heart. He did this nice thing for a kid. He humanized and made me like him even more.
Kavino
All right, you know what? I think it's time to try to get a winner for Big Mike's words of wisdom. And then we'll take more feedback on the. On the subject at hand, humanizing athletes a la Novak Djokovic, talking about how he's doing dances with his daughter to K Pop Demon Hunters. Like every other. Like every other little kid. I'm telling you, love that it's gonna be the number one Halloween costume. You're gonna look around and all the little trick or treaters are gonna be demon hunters. All right, you want to start with Dylan?
Spotty Boy
Yeah.
Kavino
In Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dylan, do you think he got this?
Dan
All right, I think I can do it. And then I also think I got some humanizing moments that I'd like to share.
Kavino
All right, perfect man. Let's hear. Let it simmer and take it away.
Dan
Okay. So Big Mike said, healing is not about ending.
Kavino
Ah, son of a damn.
Spotty Boy
Give us your humanizing.
Kavino
Yeah.
Rich
What you got, Dylan?
Dan
Okay, I appreciate. Okay, so two moments. One is I remember when Kobe Bryant would be on the sidelines with Gianna and you would see like this, you would see this person who was just a killer throughout his career, like, laughing and having fun. And I think the reason that there was such a tragedy that he died with. With her is that we. We were kind of seeing this person who is this dominating athlete who is a stone cold killer turn into this like, loving, warm hearted person.
Rich
Yeah.
Dan
And then also, also to, you know, because they were going to open up, she was going to be a great, you know, WNBA star. The WNBA is great at humanizing. The stud buds from Minnesota had that live stream during all star weekend. And the WNBA all Stars, they were having a blast.
Kavino
Yeah, that's a great example.
Rich
I thought that was a really great example.
Spotty Boy
The Olympics, we make fun of it, but the Olympics always have their packages where they humanize all the athletes and make us chair for them.
Kavino
No doubt.
Rich
You become more invested for sure. Do we have another contestant?
Kavino
Danny G. Stacy.
Rich
It's a tough one, Stacy.
Spotty Boy
Also in Tulsa. You guys are big in Tulsa.
Kavino
What's up, buddy? What's up, pally?
Dan
Hello.
Kavino
What's up?
Dan
Hello. Hey, I think I have it.
Kavino
Go ahead.
Dan
Healing is not about getting rid of.
Spotty Boy
Got a word wrong there at the beginning, man.
Rich
Healing is.
Kavino

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I.
Rich
Think he poisoned me.
Dan
I feel trapped.
Rich
My breathing changes.
Dan
More money, more money, more money. And I went white.
Annabelle/Washable Sofas Advertiser
I realized, wow, like, he is not a mentor. He's pretty much a monster. New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations.
Dan
This didn't just happen to me. It happened to hundreds of other people.
Annabelle/Washable Sofas Advertiser
But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth.
Dan
I'm going to tell my story and I'm going to hold my head up.
Rich
Up.
Annabelle/Washable Sofas Advertiser
Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Rich
Shout out to Soda Popinsky and Novak Djokovic, who was dancing to this after his big win at the US Open.
Kavino
Over Taylor Fritz, dedicated to his daughter on her birthday, who, much like every other little girl on planet Earth, loves K pop Demon Hunters.
Rich
And I guess if you never heard of it, you will moving forward. It's the biggest thing going K pop Demon Hunters. And we're live from Fox Sports radio studio Cavino enrich. For over 40 years, Tyrack 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 with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be now before midweek. Major. Let's wrap up with the phone calls. We might have a winner. I don't know.
Kavino
Lisa gonna give it a shot. Is that what's gonna happen here, Danny, or what?
Spotty Boy
Yeah. Lisa in Dutchess County, New York.
Kavino
All right, let's do this. Can you repeat Mike's words of wisdom? Lisa, last shot. Let's go. Here we go. All right.
Dan
I hope so. I have. Healing is more about accepting pain and learning to coexist with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which is impossible.
Rich
Way to go, Lisa.
Kavino
Way to go, Big Mike.
Spotty Boy
That is impressive. Are you tape recording us on a boombox?
Rich
You know what? I want in.
Kavino
No, you can do that.
Ty
No one said you couldn't do that.
Kavino
Yeah, that's not.
Rich
That was a rule not against the rules.
Spotty Boy
Congratulations, Lisa.
Kavino
All right, thanks, Lisa. And two quickies. We're talking about humanizing Allah. Novak Djokovic dancing to K Pop. What do you got, Reno? Trevor, what's up? What's up?
Dan
Hey, guys. So, yeah, I think some of these probably revolve around fatherhood. So the first one that I thought about when he said Kobe was Tiger when he won his last Masters, and just seeing Charlie there. Yeah, the dude's a robot for so long, and just like, to actually see him have feelings was pretty cool. But the one that still just kind of chokes me up whenever I watch it and I know it's happening was in, like, the Olympian that got hurt. And his dad goes out and runs with him, and he's like, hitting the judges off, being like, no, I'm gonna finish it with my kid like that.
Kavino
Oh, yeah. It's heartbreaking. You ain't kidding. All right, Heidi, last one in Florida, then we gotta give Spot at least five minutes. What's up, Heidi?
Dan
Hey. I thought it was quite endearing when Giannis filmed himself going through the Chick Fil a drive through ordering 50. Not 49, not 51, 50 chicken minis. And I think he had a trophy in the backseat, but he didn't film that, and he was taking the chicken minis back to his party.
Kavino
Oh, that's cool. Yeah, these are. These are the moments where you're like, oh, you know, not only.
Rich
Especially if you're on the fence. So if you're on the fence or you really just don't know. Yeah, that'll win you over. So props to Djokovic on his win and even more so for being a cool dad and winning us over.
Kavino
And we'd have hit those dances on the K Pop demon hunters. Exactly. It's time for midweek Major Covino and.
Rich
Rich gets you over the middle of.
Dan
The week with midweek Major.
Kavino
Oh, I love that.
Rich
We throw sports and pop culture headlines.
Dan
And topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say, that's.
Rich
So mid week definitely major.
Dan
CNR scoring midweek major.
Spotty Boy
There is no time for an intro, so we are getting kicked right, right to the dice roll to see who's gonna have the first take.
Kavino
All right, you know, 1, 10, 4.
Rich
Quickly gets the first ticket.
Spotty Boy
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy from Scotch Place, New Jersey, Spotty Boy.
Spot
We're just one day away from NFL Kickoff.
Rich
Woohoo.
Spot
Yeah. And we talked about on, actually on our recent episode of our Bow podcast over Promise, how the cost of watching an entire NFL season could be well over a thousand dollars. And there's no secret that thrifty fans turn to illegal streaming sites to save some money. Well, one of the biggest sites stream east, which drew a combined 1.6 billion visits over the last year, has been shut down as last week. So the website, known for providing free streams of top leagues like the NFL, NBA, mlb, Premier League, and more site was taken down by a joint effort between the alliance for creativity and entertainment, which is comprised of entities Amazon and Apple and some law enforcement enforcement officials in Egypt. Apparently part of the sting. They also seized some cash and credit cards and a shell company that was laundering money. Maybe they were hooking up Kauai. Who knows? Anyway, midweek or. Major.
Rich
This is major. 1.6 billion people used it.
Kavino
Damn.
Rich
How am I gonna watch my pay per view fights now?
Dan
I mean.
Rich
No, I think it's wrong and we shouldn't be doing this, but people do. But people. People do. And it's about time they figured out a way to shut it down.
Kavino
Shut it down now.
Rich
Yeah. You're leaving a lot of money on the table by allowing this.
Kavino
You're a better guy than me. I think this is major.
Dan
Definitely major.
Kavino
You're a better guy than me. If you could honestly say you've never used ever in your life an illegal link your buddy sent you, like, hey, the fight's about to start. Here's a link that shut down them. That streameast one again. I know. People have used that one for years. So. So it's a big deal. We should be buying the fights. But I get it.
Rich
I will say this, Rich. I never. I never harassed my own daughter just because. Like that woman in that Unknown number documentary.
Kavino
Yeah.
Rich
But I have streamed something illegally. Okay. Yeah, I have. That's true.
Kavino
So you're still a good guy.
Rich
Yeah. So I'm better than that woman. Yeah. All right.
Spot
We now have all the details on the infamous proposal between Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Dan
Of course.
Spot
On the latest episode of New Heights, Kelsey talked about how he's, quote, giddy about the proposal and how he gets to share the rest of his life with. He's been telling everybody. He also talked about how he planned to originally do it on water, and one of his producers said that he did that and it ruined the experience. He revealed what we sort of already knew, that his team was preparing the proposal set up in the backyard while they were recording the podcast with Taylor Swift a few weeks back. He also talked about how he had their first public appearance at Arrowhead where they attended that college game.
Kavino
Yeah.
Spot
How he's first introducing Taylor as his fiance to all his teammates. So he's really excited about that. Midweek or major?
Rich
Well, that's a weird feeling. This is major. Anything Kelsey Swift related is major. I saw that Roger Goodell gave her the open invite.
Kavino
Yeah.
Rich
All right. It's coming up. I guess it's coming up. But, yeah, anything involving them. Major news, and it ties into what we were just talking about. I. I think seeing him as a lovebird, this humanized them and made him more likable to so many more people.
Kavino
Agreed. It ties into our last conversation. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have humanized each other. I think it's big news. And I know spot, you said you're going to lead into the Roger Goodell story, so you might as well take it away because that's what it ties in. Right.
Spot
All right, I'll take it away.
Rich
Yeah.
Spot
And NFL commissioner Roger Goodell appeared on Today. Earlier today, earlier this morning and was asked, asked if Swifties would get the ultimate treat for, as they planned, the super bowl halftime show this year. And Goodell responded by saying, quote, we would always love to have Taylor play. She has a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome at any time. While he didn't give up any details, he said that it is, quote, maybe a possibility. And we've talked about, people have been, you know, all the Swifties, how they love to analyze all these Easter eggs. When she appeared on the New Heights podcast, they were. She was talking about. About Sourdough and dropping certain numbers that alluded to her doing the halftime show in San Francisco. Sourdough Sam being the mascot there. So potentially could be this year's super bowl halftime show.
Rich
Super major. Major. Major.
Dan
Definitely major.
Rich
And for many reasons. Taylor Swift performing halftime. That would be huge. Ratings. Gold, baby.
Kavino
Gold Ratings.
Rich
Ratings. I tell you. It would break all sorts of records. And it also shows you that maybe Goodell has final say. It's not Jay Z. Jay Z had Omarion on standby or something.
Spot
Ridiculous.
Rich
Imagine if he pulls Taylor Swift. That'd be awesome. So, I mean, I'm not a Swifty, but it would be huge.
Kavino
This is, I think, mid because it's what we already know that's so mid, meaning, like, if Taylor Swift wants a new do it, she will do it. And Roger Goodell would probably get down on his hands and knees, be like, please, what's today's date? Give me the date.
Spot
9:3. September 3rd.
Kavino
I knew that But I was just asking you because last year it was on September 8th when we found out it was Kendrick Lamar. So. So if it's consistently early September, we should be finding out within the week or so if it's Taylor, if it's Metallica, if it's Miley Cyrus, whoever the heck it's going to be weird. Should probably find out within a week.
Rich
Nice.
Kavino
One more spotty or what?
Spot
I guess. So Tom Brady making some appearances on podcasts. Do you want to hear about his thoughts about the NFL generation of today or his thoughts about broadcasting this season?
Kavino
Generation today.
Rich
All right.
Spot
He was on Kevin Hart's podcast, Cold is. Yeah, I don't know if I can say it. Where he sits in a cold plunge with athletes and celebrities. So he asked Brady about how he feels the game game is changing. Brady responded saying there are more challenges for this generation of QBs in some way, but the guys who take advantage of it, there are more opportunities for them. Went on to say that everybody is coddled a little bit more. And what he meant by that is he said rather than saying, hey, you better come and get the work done, you have to say you should probably do this. So he's saying that this generation just needs to be led a little bit more rather than having that work ethic. But he did go on to say that of the quarterbacks of today, Mahomes has a really great work ethic. He said that he has a desire every time he takes the field to be a great leader and everything he does is right. So a nice compliment to Mahomes from Brady.
Rich
Midweek or major Hard work never goes out of style. This is major. People should take notes and take in all sorts of advice from Tom Brady. He's a guy who's lived it and proved it that hard work pays off.
Kavino
And.
Rich
I don't understand why younger people get some so upset by this. Remember the Kim Kardashian controversy where she was like, you need. What did she say?
Spot
You remember something, you gotta work, get up and work.
Kavino
Get up here, get off your ass and work.
Rich
And everybody was so up in arms and upset by that. It's like, where's that? Where's the insult there? How about take that as good advice?
Kavino
Well, I have.
Rich
Things don't happen by themselves.
Kavino
You know, I, I think Tom Brady is a great teacher of hard work. But I have more thoughts on this that I want to continue after we go to Danbaya for an update. Let's get a quickie update. I know we're running late Sorry, DB.
Dan Beyer
That's all right, guys. Orioles jumped out to a 7 nothing lead on the Padres. San Diego trying to fight back, but they're in the 975 Orioles right now. Orioles will play the Dodgers this weekend. Likely going to face Shohei Ohtani who had his start pushed back on the mound because of an illness. Tigers dropped the Mets today six to two. Diamondbacks blank. The Rangers two nothing. Red Sox place outfielder Roman Anthony on the injured list because of an oblique strain. He could miss four to six weeks at the US Open. Aced an American Amanda and a Samova. Upset second seed IGA Swiatek in straight sets to advance to the semifinals in the NFL. Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons limited in practice today because of his back injury while jets tackle Elijah Vera Tucker suffered a torn triceps muscle at practice yesterday and could miss the rest of the season. Mavericks and PJ Washington agreed on a four year extension worth $90 million. While you guys touched off it off the top of the show or touched on it off the top of the show, Clippers allegedly tried to circumvent the NBA salary cap by giving Kawhi Leonard an endorsement deal with a company that he ever provided work or endorsements for. That's according to Pablo Torre finds out the team denied the allegations. ESPN reports the NBA has begun an investigation into those allegations. Guys, back to you.
Kavino
Yeah. Dan Beyer. Have a great night, buddy.
Dan Beyer
You too, guys.
Kavino
I'll see you tonight. Could I say for our draft.
Dan Beyer
Yes, Guillotine draft.
Kavino
You know we're going to talk about that next. I'm excited. I want to whoop all your asses in this. I can't wait. But one last thought about you said the work ethic of Tom Brady and how he says that Jimmy Johnson in that documentary about the Cowboys. Jimmy Johnson, if you remember, went on to say we can't coach the way we coached back then. Remember there was a guy fell, he had asthma and he's like, you got asthma. Get your fat ass up and get out of here. So things are a little different now if you watch that documentary. All right, we have more Covino and Rich. We'll talk a little fantasy next before we get out of here on Cavino and Rich.

This could be your early holiday gift for me three months in advance, and my birthday's in October. How about an early birthday gift? It's free.

Rich
That's right. You actually click subscribe. But it's free.
Kavino
Yeah, click subscribe.
Rich
Tell your friends about it. We appreciate it. And he played more human than human because we explain that Novak Djokovic, who's a tennis superstar who advances in the US Open, probably gained more fans by doing that goofy dance and talking about K Pop Demon Hunters than he has. Like, if you were able to measure this by social media following, I bet it went up astronomically because he humanized himself. Hey, I'm a dad. I did it for my kid. Everybody loved it. I loved it. I never even seen K Pop Demon Hunters. But I know it hit Rich in the heart. And it's not always things like that. It could be anything that humanizes somebody. Like, what was a nightmare for me at the time, there was a silver lining to it, like when I got divorced. You know how Rich loves to bring that up all the time.
Kavino
Oh, yeah, communication.
Rich
You know, how relatable that made me to a whole, like, slew of people, to 50% of the population that someone else was talking about, the things that they all had went through. And it made me more human. Here I am, this arrogant guy that people want to punch in the face, and then I come in like, yeah, my relationship's over. In a weird way, that humanized me to a lot of people, made me more relatable. And again, that's just a silver lining to stuff like that. It's not always. It's not always just like you as a dad, it could be anything, you.
Kavino
Know, I think another humanizing moment is when you see athletes get the call up to the big leagues. You ever see those videos where they get called in, they get called into the manager's office and they're like, hey, you, tomorrow. You think you could pitch tomorrow? How about for the big leagues? And then they call their parents and stuff.
Rich
Just makes you more relatable. And what are those moments for you? Running out of time so you could share. At Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And again, before it gets too late, on tomorrow's show, old school when 50 hits. We throw it back every Thursday and get you involved. And we do our picks for the NFL prediction sheet. You know, the laminated sheet in the studio. We pick tomorrow. You know, who do we think is going to be in the Super Bowl?
Kavino
We pick tonight. Are you partaking in this? Are you too cool for the room? Are you doing Dan Byers Guillotine Lee league?
Rich
I might.
Kavino

Dan
Avoidance is easier.
Rich
Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Complex problem solving takes effort.

Date: September 4, 2025
Hosts: Covino & Rich (Steve Covino and Rich Davis), Fox Sports Radio
Main Theme:
Exploring the moments that humanize athletes, how relatability affects fandom, and sharing specific stories where seeing the personal side of sports figures (and celebrities) made hosts and callers like them more. Blends topical sports talk, humor, and participatory segments with a focus on sports’ human stories.
This episode is built around the question: What are the moments that made you feel like an athlete or celebrity was “just like us”? Prompted by Novak Djokovic’s post-match dance for his daughter, Covino & Rich dig into how seeing stars’ human side can change, enhance, or even create fandom. They also cover unique MLB stats debates, audience call-ins, and playful banter that is the C&R signature.
