Hopefully they have a better start that did you see former Brewer, former Yankee, now New York Met, Devin Williams, his first pitch as a Met, he gave up a 420 foot home run.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, before we move on, we were talking, you know, fitness gimmicks and fads.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Have I ever mentioned here on Fox Sports Radio that I'm wearing a laser helmet to stimulate my hair follicles?

[Show Host/Producer]

You brought it up.

[Steve Covino]

I brought that up here on Fox Sports. You got to see how ridiculous my weekends look when I got this thing on my head. True.

[Rich Davis]

You had a special order. And you have a John Olerude one, though.

[Steve Covino]

I got the John Olrood special edition.

[Show Host/Producer]

So.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. The only downside is it's a Blue Jays version. They didn't have a Yankees one.

[Rich Davis]

What are you gonna do?

[Steve Covino]

But I do rock that. And it's supposed to stimulate hair growth, even though I have no issues. It's like, preventative and I just want to have full, like pompadour.

[Rich Davis]

Like everyone does their own things to stay in shape or do what they did. And like we said, it all started as we talked about. Met prospect Ryan Lambert eats 30 raw eggs a day to beef up, and now he throws over a hundred. I take nad plus you hit your forties. I'm taking all vitamins and supplements.

[Steve Covino]

Some of my buddies shortcuts.

[Rich Davis]

I know, but some of my buddies like you, dude, you do the peptides yet? It's just, you know, it's. Everyone's trying to just do the same thing, right? Everyone wants the shortcuts to fitness and longevity. And you could argue maybe there's not shortcuts, right?

[Steve Covino]

And speaking of eternal youth and trying to maintain, did you see who's viral this week in the past few days? Jim Carrey. Because he looks different. I say this respectfully. I'm a big fan. But even the color of his eyes are different. People like, that's not him. Have you seen him?

[Rich Davis]

No, I don't want to.

[Danny G]

I love Jim Carrey.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, we all love Jim Carrey. Like, what's going on? Anyway, hey, do your best. Stay in shape, maintain, and let's have a great weekend. Now, we've been to Magic City. I can't say that I experienced it the same way Rich did. Rich came out, he was all shiny when he got out.

[Rich Davis]

Smelled like cocoa butter.

[Steve Covino]

Rich had all his oil on his face. I was like, damn.

[Rich Davis]

Some of our listeners, some of our listeners in Atlanta, we had a big event in Atlanta and they're like, yo, Rich, we gotta take you to Magic City. And they're like, listen, you might be the only white boy, but we got you. I was like, all right, we roll up.

[Steve Covino]

It's like one of those, you gotta go there if you're in Atlanta sort of places. It's a gentleman's up, but it's really famous.

[Rich Davis]

And they are famous for their wings. And Lou Williams brought it up in the NBA, the world of sports is known for traveling road teams stopping at Magic City, very popular touristy strip club, so to speak. So the Atlanta Hawks are doing Magic City Night. And I. I'm just so curious.

[Steve Covino]

Well, let me explain what it is then.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Steve Covino]

Okay. So Magic City Night.

[Rich Davis]

I saw the headline, I'm like, is

[Steve Covino]

to honor what they're calling the cultural institution that people go to Atlanta to visit. State Farm arena is honoring Magic City. The gentleman's club, March 16, Monday, they're calling it Magic City Monday.

[Show Host/Producer]

They stole that from the Odd Couple.

[Steve Covino]

I was just saying.

[Rich Davis]

Rob Parker always says that.

[Danny G]

For years.

[Show Host/Producer]

It's one of their themes. They do bounce back music with a theme each day.

[Rich Davis]

Residual.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah, Mondays has always been Magic City Monday.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sure they've talked about this on the Odd Couple. I love Robin Kelvin. Is Rob in the mix to, like, MC the night? Are they sending him he should be.

[Steve Covino]

They absolutely should be. Doesn't he have a booth there? I think he has a booth there.

[Rich Davis]

Is there a little gold plaque? It's like Rob Parker.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I think he has his own little, like, pole or something.

[Rich Davis]

All his sports writing days.

[Steve Covino]

So March 16th against the Magic.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I can see you.

[Steve Covino]

Featuring celebrity artists and entertainment. TI Is performing. They're gonna have food and music and the world famous Lou Williams lemon pepper wings for all the fans and everything. But here's what they're saying, Rich. They're doing all this to honor the vibe of Magic City with the food and the music and the entertainment. Dancers not included. That's what they're saying.

[Show Host/Producer]

Okay, well, that makes it family friendly,

[Steve Covino]

and that's what makes it family friendly. So they're all.

[Show Host/Producer]

Takes all the fun out of it.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe the kids will think it's like a magic show.

[Steve Covino]

They just. Wing Night magicians. Yeah, exactly.

[Show Host/Producer]

That's Wing night. That's not strip club night.

[Steve Covino]

Wing and music night. Really? So that's what's going on. It's a little smoke and mirrors. Because when people hear about this, they're like, what? How's that possible?

[Rich Davis]

Magic City for the Wings. It's like that guy back in the day that was like. I read Playboy for the articles.

[Steve Covino]

I'm wondering, though, if some of the. Some of the alumni go there to represent and get on the big screen and party and have fun. Respectfully.

[Rich Davis]

Well, TI And a lot of people in the hip hop community are gonna be out for this. And you know what? There have been wilder promotions. We've talked about this in the past. We don't need to talk about all the good and bad promotional ideas that stadiums and arenas have had over the years. There have been, you know, the mistakes of giving, you know, 40,000 baseball fans baseball bats. There have been, you know, all. You can eat hot dogs and people throwing hot dogs on the field. We've talked about these in the past. I think it could be fun for the city of Atlanta. As long as there's no.

[Steve Covino]

I was duped if my mom's listening. I thought it was a magic shop mom. Just so you know.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, yeah, Kavino's like, I went there

[Steve Covino]

for a boomerang bow tie and yeah, they didn't have any.

[Rich Davis]

Could it get the one Pee Wee Herman had?

[Steve Covino]

Nope. So Magic City nights in Atlanta. Atlanta Hawks promotional night. Enjoy your wings. You know, it's funny when Lou Williams, when that story happened, and he was like, nah, man, for real. I went and got the wings. They're known for the wings.

[Show Host/Producer]

It was Covid, right?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Yeah. And he got in trouble for that. He's like, no, no, no. I stuck out because I went there for the wings. Because the story immediately was this dude's out smacking asses, getting lap dances. You crazy? He's like, no, I had to eat. You know, fast forward and you learn of the reputation. They really are known for their flats, for their wings, the lemon peppers. So they'll be handing them out. They'll be serving them at Magic City Night at the Hawks game.

[Rich Davis]

Only flats for Rob Parker.

[Steve Covino]

Only flats for Rob Parker.

[Rich Davis]

It's weird because he has the opposite.

[Steve Covino]

Except for when it comes to budgie.

[Rich Davis]

Except for when it comes to the dances, it's like, no flats.

[Iowa Sam]

I was going to say Rob has a website called only flats.com.

[Show Host/Producer]

rich, rich, turn your mic off. You can go home now.

[Rich Davis]

I'm done. Good night, everyone. Holy flats. So listen, enjoy Magic City Mondays. Atlanta Hawks, NBA. Yeah, we're at the point now where, Danny, we've predicted that now is where we start locking into the NBA World Baseball Classic. Less than a week away, life changes because now you will start wondering about, all right, well, what's doing in the NBA baseball, starting before you know it, World Baseball Classic. So it is. It is that time of year. And you know what? If you're a big NFL fan, we're also excited that we're seeing who's sort of sticking out in the combine, right? Other than. Other than Aaron. What's the name of coach of the Jets? Aaron Glenn falling asleep yesterday.

[Iowa Sam]

Now, hold on.

[Steve Covino]

Really gone out of control.

[Rich Davis]

I would.

[Iowa Sam]

One of our editors here and producers, Ian Roddy, big Jets fan. He countered that Aaron Glenn was looking down at a laptop or his phone.

[Steve Covino]

I agree.

[Iowa Sam]

And he, like, he's like, oh, look at the video. He moves sound like he was just

[Steve Covino]

taking the ball and running with it. When you really watch it, he seemed pretty alert. And once he picks his head up,

[Iowa Sam]

he's like, you know how you'll be, like, looking down and like, your eyelids are kind of closed? It looks like you're asleep, but you're actually just looking at your phone.

[Steve Covino]

I think that's what was going on. So don't believe the hype is a secret. And don't believe the hype of this dude falling asleep at the combine. Jets coach Glenn. So that's not what happened. I don't believe that's what happened. I watched it numerous times, and I watched it from reports of people saying, looking at me sleeping, I'M like, I don't think he is. It's a fun story, but it's not true.

[Rich Davis]

Question for you guys if you're a GM or front office or scouts. I know, I know it's a pretty broad question, but of these combined activities, high jump. Oh, let me. I saw even the Dan Patrick show. Did you see? They all, they all measured their width, their, their arms, their wingspan.

[Steve Covino]

Well, because there's a dude with the like third smallest, shortest arms of all time. I said that.

[Rich Davis]

Did you see that, by the way? They did not measure their width for the record.

[Steve Covino]

No, but there's really, really short arms. They say the third shortest in NFL history.

[Rich Davis]

But I do wonder because not to name drop, but Jerry Rice, I remember him telling, because I'm a big fan. I remember when we met him, we had a good conversation. And Jerry Rice being so adamant that practice speed and game speed are two different things. There's some guys that these combines and these type of practice things that they

[Steve Covino]

don't tell the whole story.

[Rich Davis]

They don't tell the whole story.

[Steve Covino]

So when you see other players, then they light it up on the field when it matters.

[Rich Davis]

What would matter to you if you were a GM or scout? I feel like, I feel like you could tell a lot about an interview with someone. I feel like, you know who Dan

[Steve Covino]

Patrick said was the personality. Best examples of that. I was listening to DP the other day, getting ready. He said, Steve Largent and Jerry Rice, he's like these guys, guys like that, they didn't light it up on the combine, you know, because does a 40 yard dash really matter all that much when it comes to that? But on the field, it's a whole different story. So you might be overlooking a lot of potential.

[Rich Davis]

To quote Jerry probably on our show a decade ago, said in a warm up or a combine or a drill, he was never even close to the fastest guy. But he goes in a game. You ever see someone catch me?

[Steve Covino]

No, because they ran perfect routes. Perfect routes.

[Rich Davis]

And then when the speed needed to be turned on in a game, it's just a different mindset. It's like, I think there's no way

[Steve Covino]

to measure like a winning attitude.

[Rich Davis]

I hate to give props to your boy Jeter, but there's something he said about a guy that just in key spots knows how to perform. And you get that in every sport. So that's why the combine of the draft is just such a crapshoot. Right? I mean, it really is like a certain level of guesswork. Right. Because a guy could run an amazing 40. He could all, you know, look, he jumped. He did a high jump and look how high he jumped. And what an incredible athlete. But is his personality going to mesh with the team? Is he a winner? Is he a guy that once he puts the uniform on on a Sunday, is he going to bring it? I don't envy scouts and GMs for that reason because I feel like it tells so little of the big picture.

[Steve Covino]

There's no way to measure a heart or competitiveness or ability to win, like you said. But you talked about the measurements. Look at tiny arms. Ruben Bane, he looks like a T Rex. Yeah. Third shortest arms for a defensive lineman in NFL combine history. He's 6 foot 2, 263, but his physique looks like he's maybe 4 foot 4. He has 30 inch arm length. 30 and 7 eighths inch arm. Third shortest of any defensive end in NFL combine history.

[Rich Davis]

Let me see if they. Hold on. I want to go over that one more time because I have Dan Patrick's Instagram up right now. Hold on. Because Dan measured the guy's wingspan and I feel like that's the same. It's like not much bigger than.

[Steve Covino]

That's a big dude. That's what's crazy.

[Rich Davis]

Here we go. What is their measurements?

[Steve Covino]

30 and 7/8.

[Rich Davis]

Marvin has a bigger wingspan. Yeah, him and Dan.

[Steve Covino]

It looks odd.

[Rich Davis]

This guy, who's an NFL player, has the same wingspan as Dan Patrick, only slightly bigger than Fritzi.

[Steve Covino]

His name is Ruben Bane. Yeah. This guy will kick your ass, though. You know, I'm not trying to tell,

[Rich Davis]

but I'm saying we're talking about an NFL player who has the same. A smaller wingspan than Marvin.

[Steve Covino]

So it's that time of year, guys.

[Rich Davis]

All right, well, hey, coming up, we are going to play Brain Wave, which to me is one of my favorite games we play here on Fox Sports Radio. You could win a prize if you just match the mindset of Kavino Rich and everyone here on the crew.

[Steve Covino]

You say mindset, you got to be on the same Brain Wave.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that's the name of the game.

[Steve Covino]

And this is a game that's fun to watch, is very visual, sort of Newlywed game style. So if you want to pull aside, you want to pop up the YouTube, do it now. Covino Enrich FSR at CovinoEnrich FSR on YouTube. To play along at home, now's the

[Rich Davis]

time to call up and get involved. But before we do that, is there a freak sports injury that stands out to you throughout time? Because I remember as a kid, Bobby Ojeda of the. Of the Mets and of course, of the Red Sox. Back in the day, Bobby Ojeda cut his fingers off with hedge clippers. You remember that? Like a cutting the bushes. And I remember they put him on the IL for a long time. I remember there was also a boat accident. I remember we talk about players that have headbutted goal posts. Didn't Kevin Brown punch a wall in the dugout? Right.

[Show Host/Producer]

Like, I wasn't at Gus Farratt, who celebrated by sticking his head into the pads.

[Rich Davis]

That's. There have been times where guys got

[Steve Covino]

banged up, and I think, well, Mickey Mantle was famously injured from, like, a sprinkler injury.

[Show Host/Producer]

Right.

[Steve Covino]

Like, didn't he trip over an inch sprinkler and messed his knee and ankle up?

[Rich Davis]

I think the one that we were all so, you know, really saddened by, no one really cared. None of us are Angels fans. Was it Kendry Morales?

[Show Host/Producer]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Who rounded the bases on a home run and as he jumped on home plate.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I was the worst.

[Rich Davis]

His leg gave out.

[Show Host/Producer]

Changed how teams celebrate.

[Rich Davis]

It's true.

[Steve Covino]

That was one of the worst, for sure.

[Rich Davis]

You see this guy in, like, collegiate baseball rounding first base on a home run and his leg collapsed the wrong way.

[Steve Covino]

Gross.

[Rich Davis]

So there have been crazy injuries, but this is less of a crazy injury, less of a mishap, more of a. Oh, my Lord, how does this happen? Danny, you sent this to me, and for me, at first, I was like, no way. And it's true.

[Steve Covino]

No way.

[Rich Davis]

Professional golfer Andrea Pavan. Pavan apparently was out of the country in South Africa.

[Show Host/Producer]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

In a hotel.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah. He's getting ready for the tournament there.

[Guest or Advertiser]

Boom.

[Rich Davis]

Elevator opens, he steps in, and in a nightmare of all nightmares, there's no elevator there. And he steps into an elevator shaft.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah. There was no car, and so he just fell three floors down the shaft three stories.

[Rich Davis]

Lucky he's alive.

[Steve Covino]

Messing up his shoulder and back and has to have. Well, he's already undergone surgery. Right. For his shoulder and. But can you imagine falling three stories? And honestly, I'm gonna ask the obvious. How do you not look ahead before you. Like you, he must have been in a major rush.

[Rich Davis]

No, I've seen you on your phone. I've seen him step into darkness. I'm saying, I guarantee Steve Covino, with your head up your ass, would absolutely have been looking at Instagram or some butt cheeks on TikTok or something, and you would have just walked straight ahead. Have you ever seen the videos? Like, people who Walk into a fountain at the mall.

[Steve Covino]

It's true. Yeah, but imagine. Yeah, but you imagine it's like, just like a. Like blackness. Right?

[Rich Davis]

I know, but if.

[Steve Covino]

If you're in, like, elevator opens up and it's. It's nice and bright and you. You step in. I'm not. That's so crazy. But either way, it happened.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And it's a freak accident.

[Rich Davis]

Wishing him the best, man.

[Steve Covino]

You're right. Lucky he's alive also.

[Show Host/Producer]

You're right. If you're in a hurry, even if you see could be your first step, and by then it's too late.

[Steve Covino]

I'm imagining this dude was in a hurry.

[Rich Davis]

Ever see someone walking and fall through, like, a manhole? Like, I mean, it happens.

[Steve Covino]

Dunes.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but I'm saying these things happen because people's heads are up their butt because they're on their phone and they're scrolling. People unfortunately, got to stop doing that while they're driving and walking.

[Iowa Sam]

I was in. I was in Ireland 20 years. Over 20 years ago.

[Rich Davis]

Did you say 20 years ago?

[Iowa Sam]

Over 20 years ago, I was in Ireland, Galway Bay. And there were signs, like telling people to keep their eyes up off their phones because they were walking in front of buses and getting hit by buses.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, don't be getting hit by buses. That almost happened to me once when

[Iowa Sam]

I was a student at Iowa. I almost got hit by a cam bus because I was looking at my phone and it came three inches from, like, ending my life.

[Rich Davis]

People are near death experience. People are careless. You know, I heard a Kavino and I talked about a story back in the day about how many little fender benders happen because the male driver looks at, like, some woman on the side of the road.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, like the worst.

[Rich Davis]

How many will it happen to?

[Iowa Sam]

Lloyd Christmas. Remember he was reaching out to Mary Swanson. He goes, mary, it's the person

[Rich Davis]

out there. And Galway, huh, Sam?

[Iowa Sam]

Yes, sir.

[Dan Beyer]

Ooh. One, two, three.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, you guys are on the same wavelength right now.

[Show Host/Producer]

All right, Friday, let's go. The questions in this game are all subjective. You just need to try and match the brain of C and R and the crew.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Show Host/Producer]

Get to get our contestant from the studio lines, and then I'll explain the rules. The first one through is Ann in Arizona.

[Rich Davis]

Hi, guys.

I'm here. All right.

[Rich Davis]

What's up? How are you? So good.

[Show Host/Producer]

Ann, what do you do for a living there in az?

[Guest or Advertiser]

I'm a mother.

[Rich Davis]

Oh.

[Show Host/Producer]

One of the hardest jobs in the world. All right, I have five rounds ready to go. Our contestant needs to win two of them to be the champ and walk away with a CNR prize pack. I'm going to ask a question, then give them three debatable answers to choose from. The six of us in studio are going to write down our answers on these dry erase boards for our YouTube channel. And then on the count of three, and you'll shout out your answer and you have to match with four of us to win the round.

[Steve Covino]

I'm pumped.

[Danny G]

Here we go.

[Rich Davis]

My favorite game. Let's go.

[Show Host/Producer]

All right, round one. Let's Start with outdoor adrenaline.

[Danny G]

Oh.

[Show Host/Producer]

Which of these scares you more? Skydiving, bungee jumping, or shark cage diving?

[Steve Covino]

Shark cage diving. Good.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah. So bungee jumping, skydiving, or shark cage diving? Writing our answers down.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, I'm locked, everybody.

[Show Host/Producer]

Locked in. All right, Ann, we need your answer on the count of three. One, two, three.

[Rich Davis]

Skydiving.

[Show Host/Producer]

Skydiving, she says. And we start with Steve Covino.

[Steve Covino]

Absolutely. Skydiving, they're all very scary, but skydiving, no way.

[Show Host/Producer]

That's one point.

[Rich Davis]

Sharks. That's sort of cool. I think that's something I would do. Skydiving, you're with someone, a professional. They could open the chute. I feel like bungee jumping. Every time I think of it, I feel like you're gonna break your back or something. Bungee jumping scares the hell out of

[Steve Covino]

the thought of jumping out of a plane. Like, I feel that in my huevos.

[Rich Davis]

You're attached to a professional where bungee jumping.

[Steve Covino]

You're on a rope. Yeah. I don't know.

[Show Host/Producer]

Let's see what Dan Beyer thinks.

[Dan Beyer]

I don't know if she has a fear of flying, but I took that into consideration. You may not like heights. You may not like flying. I went skydiving.

[Show Host/Producer]

All right, she's got a chance here. Shay is in for spotty.

[Steve Covino]

I went bungee. I agree with Rich.

[Show Host/Producer]

Wow.

[Rich Davis]

There's something about, like, that. The spring of the rope and like.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

They.

[Show Host/Producer]

People say it makes you nauseous.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah.

[Show Host/Producer]

And you could see the ground underneath you. I agree with everything you said, Rich, because you have instructors with you on the other two. I also said bungee man, so just

[Steve Covino]

likes being nuts to butts with the guy. The instructor.

[Show Host/Producer]

Mathematically, he's out of this round. But what did you say I was, Sam?

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, I did say skydiving.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Steve Covino]

You were close and way to think

[Dan Beyer]

of yourselves and not a van, you

[Steve Covino]

know, hey, would you guys.

[Rich Davis]

Would you guys do any of these things or. Not a chance.

[Steve Covino]

Hell, no. Not a chance. I think I do all three.

[Iowa Sam]

Honestly, bungee jumping, you get the same. I think just go skydiving if you're going to do bungee.

[Rich Davis]

That's what I'm saying. So I. I feel like I would do all them. Bungie most reluctant.

[Steve Covino]

That's why I answered no way. To. To all of them.

[Rich Davis]

Live a little, bro.

[Steve Covino]

Nah. All right.

[Show Host/Producer]

All good. And you have four more categories for you. And let's go to round two. I'm gonna go to the movies. Which of these Three people would annoy you the most sitting next to you in the theater.

[Steve Covino]

Is Rich Davis an option?

[Danny G]

No.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, okay.

[Show Host/Producer]

Someone who keeps checking their phone. You know how it lights up.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, okay.

[Show Host/Producer]

Someone who keeps getting up from their seat or someone who keeps speaking in a half whisper to their date.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, this is a great question, Danny G. So smart. This is a good one. I like this.

[Show Host/Producer]

Which of the three people here would annoy you the most sitting next to you in the theater? Someone who keeps checking their phone. Lighting it up. Someone who keeps getting up from their seat constantly. Or someone who keeps speaking in a half whisper to their date. All right, we're all going to write our answers down.

[Rich Davis]

I'm good.

[Steve Covino]

Locked.

[Rich Davis]

Locked.

[Show Host/Producer]

Everybody locked in?

[Dan Beyer]

Yep.

[Iowa Sam]

We need Anne's answer.

[Danny G]

Right?

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah. 1, 2, 3, and yeah, the phone.

[Rich Davis]

Always.

[Show Host/Producer]

You say lighten up the phone. Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

What did I pick here, man? Those are all good options. I went with the whispering. Talking.

[Rich Davis]

All right, man, These are all. These are all equally annoying. It says a good day.

[Iowa Sam]

Phone is very annoying.

[Show Host/Producer]

You know, this happened at the Rams game I was at with Sam. The person sitting next to us kept getting up, like, every couple minutes. And even at the theater, that annoys me as well. So I say getting up constantly. Shay, what did you say?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I went talking. I hate the half whisper. That's frustrating.

[Show Host/Producer]

Dan Beyer.

[Dan Beyer]

There was someone at that game next to Iowa Sam that was watching the Raiders game on his phone that I know Sam thought was totally annoying. It's a different story. I went speaking softly, the whisper.

[Show Host/Producer]

You know, Rich Davis.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sorry. I feel like we're all over the place today. Let's get on the same brainwave for the next one, because I feel like the phone, the whisper you could overlook if someone. Yo, sit your ass down.

[Show Host/Producer]

Thank you.

[Rich Davis]

Someone that gets up, like, how many times a game, a movie theater. The minute.

[Danny G]

Excuse me.

[Rich Davis]

Excuse me. Sit down.

[Steve Covino]

Poor Ann. We are on different brainwaves today. I said the whisperer, no talking, please. Like everybody could hear you. And can I just nominate, like, Rich, eating all your popcorn, like, sitting next to a guy like Rich who eats all your snacks, Smacking his lips, eating loudly.

[Show Host/Producer]

All right, let's go to round three. Sports.

[Rich Davis]

More butter.

[Show Host/Producer]

Who would you rather go with for a night on the town? Shaq, Peyton Manning, or Charles Barkley?

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that's a good one. Another good one.

[Show Host/Producer]

Would you rather go out with for a night out on the town? Manning or Chuck?

[Iowa Sam]

I'm running out of ink here. This is not good. This has happened to me several times. Why do I always get the dud pen?

[Show Host/Producer]

All right, we're all writing our answers down right now.

[Steve Covino]

All right, she's got a point.

[Show Host/Producer]

He knows us and our crew.

[Rich Davis]

Shaq.

[Show Host/Producer]

Shaq.

[Iowa Sam]

Well, Sam, it would be a clean sweep, but Charles Barkley likes to party.

[Steve Covino]

Come on.

[Rich Davis]

Well, you know what? She still won.

[Steve Covino]

But she did.

[Rich Davis]

She gets the round.

[Iowa Sam]

Spaghetti.

[Show Host/Producer]

[Rich Davis]

Spaghetti with garlic. She said.

[Steve Covino]

Okay.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah, I'm thinking about.

[Steve Covino]

She's not trying to kiss, so she said spaghetti.

[Iowa Sam]

It's messy, too, but I think, like, ribs are messier. I said ribs.

[Steve Covino]

Delicious food.

[Rich Davis]

This is amateur hour.

[Show Host/Producer]

No, because you don't want to have. You don't have the ribs all over your hands.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Show Host/Producer]

And your mouth. Yeah, the rib sauce gonna get on your. On your clothes as well. What'd you say, Shay?

Ribs are too messy.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you.

[Iowa Sam]

Okay, so wait. We've said ribs three times, right?

[Rich Davis]

You clearly. Guys, you're not rich.

[Iowa Sam]

Is frustrating.

[Rich Davis]

You're thinking amateur style, like, oh, I got messy ribs. What do you want to happen after dinner, after the date? Right? Ribs. You could clean Your hands. Garlic breath. I know where you're going to have garlic breath, though.

Classical country or dubstep? Slash techno. Five hours. You're stuck in the car. With this format, we're gonna write our answers down.

[Steve Covino]

All right. Locked. Let's go.

[Show Host/Producer]

And Covino, we'll start with you after we get Anne's answer. One, two, three. Country. All right, Cove, what do you say?

[Dan Beyer]

You.

[Steve Covino]

I said classical.

[Rich Davis]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Show Host/Producer]

Serious?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Class.

[Steve Covino]

Five hour ride.

[Rich Davis]

I don't want to hear country and I don't want to hear dubstep. Maybe lock them doors and turn the lights down low.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I can only hear so much of that. I know. Sick of it. Class. Almost like, you know, element elevator music. Just listening.

[Rich Davis]

I expected that answer from a Jersey guido.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

But the rest of the world. Throw on the country. Yeehaw.

[Steve Covino]

Hop along, Dickey.

[Show Host/Producer]

All right, Dan Beyer.

[Dan Beyer]

It wasn't gonna be option C, so I toggled between the two. But I'm a Covino guy. Went classical.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, my God. Come on.

[Show Host/Producer]

This is gonna come down to the last three of us here. Shay.

[Steve Covino]

I had to agree with Shay the collar and Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Country.

[Show Host/Producer]

All right. I also said country.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Show Host/Producer]

So that means all comes down to

[Rich Davis]

Iowa sand, the contrarian of all contrarians. Here's the dealio.

[Iowa Sam]

My pen legitimately ran out of ink.

[Rich Davis]

You could overwrite C if you.

[Iowa Sam]

If you look closely, it says country.

[Steve Covino]

You did it, man.

[Rich Davis]

I can't wait for that Mozart road trip with Covino.

[Dan Beyer]

I'm going with you, Cole. Don't worry about it.

[Steve Covino]

Me and DB Will enjoy that together.

[Show Host/Producer]

Hey, by a hair, you slid into the finish line. Congrats. We will send out a prize package to you there in Arizona.

[Rich Davis]

Thanks, Anne, you guys. Love you guys so much. Thank you.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, that's awesome.

[Rich Davis]

Have a great weekend. Let's go to our buddy Dan by for an update. Db, what's going on, man?

[Dan Beyer]

The headlines of the day. Cowboys place the non exclusive franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens. The NFL salary cap will be slightly more than 301 million for next season. That's up $22 million from a year ago. Ohio State safety Lorenzo Styles Jr. Ran a 4.27 40 yard dash. That's the fastest time of any player so far at the combine. Quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers workout tomorrow. Fernando Mendoza of Indiana not going to throw. However, the Indiana quarterback did speak with reporters today and the potential first overall pick talked about the possibility of joining the Raiders and playing for Tom Brady.

[Rich Davis]

Tom Brady, I believe, is the greatest

[Iowa Sam]

quarterback of all time by a wide margin.

[Rich Davis]

And to be able to have the opportunity to be mentored by him, it would mean so much.

[Dan Beyer]

Spurs signed center Mason Plumlee to a deal for the rest of the season. Mets have named the newly acquired Freddie Peralta as their opening day starter. Austin Smotherman leads the Cognizant Classic at 11 under Brooks Koepka is nine shots back. Guys, back to you.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, D.B.

[Rich Davis]

[Danny G]

You're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing, you ever done anything dangerous?

[Rich Davis]

You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

[Danny G]

That is dangerous.

[Steve Covino]

Friday brings us Weekend Hobnobby. All right, now, in reality, my plan is to lay there, lamp there. I plan to be lime in there. I hope my girlfriend mean mugs me the entire weekend. You know what it means? Because I'm laying there being lazy. But if I get a burst of energy and I ride the burst, maybe I go to see scream in theaters. Scream 7.

[Rich Davis]

7. You know, the first one was 30 years ago.

[Steve Covino]

Well, Neve Campbell's back in this one and here's the deal. They spent like 45 million on it. And they're expecting 45 to 55.50ish million opening weekend.

[Rich Davis]

Hello, Sydney.

[Steve Covino]

If it does as good as they're thinking it's going to do, they're already projecting an eighth one. So why not Scream seven out this weekend? Speaking of in theaters, Iowa. Sam, you mentioned it, but I've had a lot of people buzzing about it since because it's now officially out there everywhere. Epic Elvis Presley in concert. Epic Elvis Presley in concert. And I'm hearing that this movie is epic. And it takes you back to 1971 lost footage and a performance from Elvis Presley.

[Iowa Sam]

I saw it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Is it really as good as people?

[Rich Davis]

It was really good.

[Iowa Sam]

It was really entertaining.

[Show Host/Producer]

Very.

[Advertiser]

Go see it.

[Iowa Sam]

High quality.

[Steve Covino]

Well, now it's available nationwide. Epic Elvis Presley. And from what I'm hearing, you don't have to be a big Elvis guy to appreciate enjoy this performance.

[Iowa Sam]

Music in it, like the songs they do live are fantastic.

[Rich Davis]

And for people that don't realize, just remind again that it's. It's footage. Never seen of the real Elvis footage.

[Iowa Sam]

Mgm, they had like a vault or something. They kicked the door down. They restored this footage.

[Steve Covino]

It's amazing.

[Rich Davis]

Way cooler than that vault that they thought Al Capone had stuff in in the 80s.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Geraldo Rivera, of course. By the way, didn't you teach Elvis how to dance?

[Rich Davis]

I did. Death.

[Steve Covino]

Wasn't that you?

[Rich Davis]

Um, and I got these braces on my leg.

[Steve Covino]

Dicky Gump and yo. This is news to me because I'm not a big Apple TV guy, but I saw this. I was like, wait a second, I'm gonna have to backtrack season two of Monarch. Legacy of Monsters. This is an Apple TV thing. Saga says, yeah, is this a Godzilla thing? Because they're showing Godzilla. It's like, here's what I read. It's Godzilla universe. So if you're a Godzilla fan, which I am, what's up, Sagar sucker?

[Rich Davis]

Saying, hell yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Yo, I gotta get on this. I'm gonna backtrack season one because season two is out and it looks dope. So if you're a Godzilla universe kind of guy, it's on Apple tv. Legacy of Monsters, Monarch. And let me shamelessly promote our show. Rich over promised brand new episode, dropped yesterday. Episode 129. I defended new Jersey because of Jack Hughes and Dan Patrick. A lot of people talking smack about the great state of New Jersey. So I defended it. And we got you fired up for the wbc, which starts next week. We talk some baseball on over promised right here on our YouTube page. Covino and Rich FSR.

[Rich Davis]

Well, here on the show, we're big fans of stand up comedy and I did notice one of the female comics that I'm a big fan of, Taylor Tomlinson.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, I'm gonna watch that.

[Rich Davis]

She has a new stand up special. She's good on Netflix. And three episodes in paradise with Sterling Kate Brown. And I'm telling you, I think it's

[Steve Covino]

now shouting out Sarah Shahi.

[Rich Davis]

Sarah Shahi, our pal. I haven't seen her in an Old pal yet. I've only watched the first two.

[Steve Covino]

She comes back in three.

[Show Host/Producer]

Good, Rich. I watched the first one. It was great.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's. It's picking up. I. The only bummer with it is that there's only, I think eight episodes. So it's like, come on, move it along. Or like, give us more episodes. So paradise, that's on Hulu. And I've yet to watch the finale of Traitors and Love is Blind. My goodness.

[Show Host/Producer]

Caught up.

[Rich Davis]

Love is blind. I am caught up. The weddings are next week.

[Show Host/Producer]

Yeah. Do you hate Breeze Face?

[Rich Davis]

Dude, I hate all of them. I said to my wife and I mentioned this yesterday on the show. Were we that dumb when we were in our twenties? I hope not. There's no way, right?

[Steve Covino]

I think I was dumber, to be honest.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe. Okay, what do you guys got?

[Steve Covino]

Danny?

[Rich Davis]

Anything?

[Show Host/Producer]

Trying to catch up on Apple tv. Shrinking.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, you know what?

[Show Host/Producer]

I waited behind, huh?

[Rich Davis]

You know what? I said? Let me wait for a couple to build up. And I totally forgot, so. Oh, awesome. Awesome. Okay. Shrinking.

[Show Host/Producer]

And I'm on episode three of Reality Check, America's Next Top Model.

[Steve Covino]

It's good.

[Show Host/Producer]

Oh, it's good. Tyra is not being painted in pretty

[Steve Covino]

colors, by the way. Neither one of us watched America's Next Top Model. It's a. It's a good look back though, in the early 2000s. It's a great documentary series.

[Rich Davis]

A little reminder of, like, where we were. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Show Host/Producer]

A lot of drama behind the scenes of that show.

[Steve Covino]

Cool.

[Rich Davis]

And I was saying, what you doing this weekend?

[Iowa Sam]

Maybe you'll go see Epic again. It was that good.

[Steve Covino]

Wow.

[Iowa Sam]

What am I doing?

[Show Host/Producer]

I'll say this.

[Steve Covino]

If you're going on a hike, are you going on a hike? I'll meet you there, Sam. If you like Traders, House of Villains with our pal Joel McHale is back.

This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea. After the big Game. Like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials. And there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. And it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who is Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the blue square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the blue square is one small way to do that.

You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that. And the best part? You won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life at electricforall.org
