[Rich]

I love it.

[Covino]

Plus weekend hobnobbin.

[Rich]

My big TV game of the week. We're going to go over what games get the big TV courtesy of tcl, buddy boy.

[Covino]

But every Olympic dream starts with a first glide.

[Rich]

Rich, you know about glide.

[Covino]

Wasn't your first glide on that workout thing that you used to have.

[Rich]

Oh my. From heavyweights, was it with Tony Little? Yeah, Rich had one of those.

Please.

[Covino]

Every Olympic dream starts with that first glide. Do you learn to skate USA kids. Build confidence, strength and joy on the ice.

[Rich]

Don't act like you're so cool. I've been to the gym and I've seen Covino on the elliptical like oh.

[Covino]

Learn to skate. USA offers programs for skaters of all ages and abilities. Find a program near you@ learntoskateusa.com that's learntoskateusa.com so what did we learn yesterday?

[Rich]

Lebron is unselfish, the streak is over. But the Lakers are good and we learned that maybe the Cowboys aren't there. And the Lions who we thought, well, I mean I can't say I totally changed my mind. I'm not that flip floppy. I still think they might not make the playoffs but yesterday if they would have lost, it's over. Still think it doesn't look good because they got to go play the Rams in a week. I know they have a little extra rest but that Rams Lions game, that's now even bigger. So NFL just continues to deliver.

[Covino]

You are pretty flip floppy though. No one wears flip flops more than you.

[Rich]

I think in the winter. I think you're a weirdo that you think like showing your feet flip flops with Jeans. No, no, I don't wear flip flops with jeans. It's not true. Maybe the T. We Google it in.

[Covino]

The New York Post on a red carpet.

[Rich]

In the Maybe.

[Sam]

Oh, my God.

[Covino]

Post on the red carpet.

[Dan Byer]

Look it up.

[Covino]

Kobe.

[Rich]

No. 1 rich. Maybe in the 2000s. All right, so I don't rock jeans with flip flops, but you're the type of guy that wears sneakers to the beach because you must have busted feet or something.

[Covino]

Lies. These are lies, though. These are just straight lies. I'll show you my feet right now on YouTube.

[Rich]

But anyway, does he have to pay for that?

[Sam]

Hey, Rex Ryan's knocking at the door right now.

[Covino]

I have an OnlyFans page for that. Now, that ties into the rest of our conversation. LeBron has a luxury where he could have these old guy injuries because he could rely on his young teammates like Reeves and Luca to step up when he's not feeling right. He has left foot joint arthritis, and sciatica. Right. So we just want to wrap up the conversation of what are some ailments or references or old guy things that are dead giveaways that that person's older than you. Oh, and your dad is victim. He calls flip flops thongs.

[Rich]

Oh, I got my summer thoughts, Richie. I got my thongs. My dad. Your thongs? He goes, yeah. Oh, my thongs. All right. You called them flip flops.

[Sam]

My parents calm thongs, too. I think it's generational.

[Covino]

You know why?

[Rich]

Because they're old.

[Covino]

So when I hear about Rich's dad's thongs, I'm like, yo, man, this guy's showing a lot of cheek this summer, huh? So that's an old guy thing. We already mentioned, like the old people candy.

[Rich]

I'll give you one when they bust.

[Covino]

Out a Werther's or one of those strawberry dollar tree candies.

[Rich]

I said something the other day, and I stopped myself because I was like, I don't want to sound like the old guy. I mean, I don't expect you to remember every story we tell on the show, but do you remember I went to take my kids to go see Wicked 2, and it was the same day as the 49ers. Yeah, Carolina Panthers, Monday night.

[Danny G]

You said you were going to tape something.

[Rich]

Yeah, I was like, I'm going to take the game. And I'm like, hold on. Correction. I'm going to record it.

[Covino]

I'm not such a good one.

[Rich]

I'm not taping it. I hope the VHS works.

[Danny G]

Another one along those lines. My mom, I talked to her A couple of weeks ago. And she said, yeah, I got to go run some errands. I got to deposit some money at the bank. What? Who goes to the bank to deposit money? We all have direct deposits.

[Rich]

Or like, even if someone gives you a check, just you take a picture of it on your phone.

[Danny G]

Or if somebody writes a check or talks about their checkbook. Do you guys. When's the last time any of us wrote an actual check?

[Sam]

I still write checks. My landlord requires it. I used to use.

[Covino]

Who's your landlord? Mr. Roper.

[Sam]

My previous landlord said, use Zell or like a. You know.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Sam]

And so, like, I went in. Back in town. I, like, regressed by new landlord.

[Covino]

It's a very old guy thing to not have Venmo, to not have Zell, to not have, you know, access to whatever my. You know. And there's no shade here. But it is an old guy thing. And I have to check myself sometimes because my references are a little older. But when Mad Dog talks about Bob Koozie every second, Bob Koozie, it just sounds so old to me.

[Danny G]

Right? Yeah.

[Covino]

And he's the best. And then we love him. So that's no shade there.

[Rich]

The old guy stuff, you know, we.

[Covino]

Started noticing that when we would reference lt, but we meant. We met Lawrence Taylor, obviously. But younger people were like, you mean ladanian Tomlinson? We're like, no, we mean Lawrence Taylor. So certain things could date you without even realizing it. And LeBron's injuries are one of those things.

[Rich]

I got one that I'm calling out you, buddy.

[Covino]

I. Dude, believe me, when I start talking about Atari and things like that.

[Rich]

Then, you know, that's a big one. Because I'm a. I'm a kid whose first video game console was Nintendo.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

So when Cavino's talk about, yo, it's Pari, bro. I'm like, what are you, like a 60, bro? Yeah, I know you're way too young to play Atari. I mean, I know you had older cousins and stuff.

[Covino]

I chalk it up to. I have a great memory.

[Dan Byer]

What's up, DB what's your favorite episode of Seinfeld?

[Rich]

Oh, that's a good one. The bet.

[Dan Byer]

No, it's. That's the question you ask 30 somethings now. They're like, I never watched it. I've never seen it. I've never watched it.

[Rich]

It's a good one.

[Dan Byer]

And so, like, I think it's so decent in my life, and. And it isn't. But I will bring up episodes and like, yeah, I never saw it. They they'll watch Friends. I don't know Sam's, but they like.

[Covino]

You know, it's also very confusing too, to a younger person. You know, you'll say something like, yeah, yeah, you know, on. On Brady Bunch or I Love Lucy. You'll bring up an old show and you're like, how old are you, dude? But they don't realize that you watched it on Nick at night.

[Danny G]

Or like, that was our version of how the 20 somethings watch friends right now.

[Rich]

Yeah, no, you're right. So it's like the way like How I met your mother or one of those shows re airs. You're right, Kavino, because it's like Brady Bunch. What are you. How old are you, dude? Get smart.

[Sam]

Get smart.

[Rich]

Let me take it to sports for a second. Is there a stadium reference? Like, I don't know. I'm not saying people do, but like the Niners. What if someone accidentally drops, like a candlestick reference.

[Covino]

Or like Brendan Bernardo?

[Rich]

Yeah, like, if, you know, you, like, you. I think you may have slipped recently and said the New Jersey Nets. Like, you know, is there a.

[Covino]

Absolutely.

[Rich]

Is there like a. Oh, man, you're an old guy reference. Like, if you say the Redskins, you're like, all right, old timer. It's the commanders now.

[Covino]

Like, yeah, I was thinking along those lines too, because you could tell an old older guy when they say something that's politically incorrect without trying to be rude, but it just dates them as they're older. And like, yeah, you can't be saying that anymore. You may think you're edgy.

[Rich]

Do you mean like half. You mean like half the conversations with your parents?

[Covino]

Yeah, you may think you're edgy, but you're just really showing me how old you are.

[Dan Byer]

When you have fathers and sons that aren't juniors and you, like, put the wrong name in front of or even something of, of David Carr instead of Derek Carr. You know, like, you know, something like that. You're like, okay, you're going to the older side of things.

[Covino]

Well, you know, by the way, my name is starting to date me. Just my name, period. Steve is sort of an older guy.

[Rich]

I remember. So I remember Steve might as well be Ebenezer. So look at the names on our show. Like, Sam. Believe it or not, I was Sam. Sam's like a popular name again. I bet you when you grew up, Sam felt like a name that not many kids had, right?

[Sam]

It was like, it's. Sam's never been like an overused name, but it was a lesser used name. When I Was a kid.

[Rich]

But, like, when I was a kid, every kid was Mike or Anthony.

[Sam]

My dad's name is Mike.

[Rich]

And I think about what we talk about. Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Michael J. Fox, Michael Jackson.

[Covino]

Shout out to Michael Anthony of Van Halen. Does that date me?

[Rich]

Yes, it absolutely does. But I think when you see. You know, when I come to an.

[Danny G]

Old guy, can you burn that on.

[Odoo Announcer]

A CD for me?

[Rich]

Danny? When I coach all these little kids on my son's team, it's Dylan and Phoenix and Adler and this all names that are like, Rich and Steve. We got old guy names because I remember when we were fans of, like, Howard Stern back in the day. Howard, Gary, Artie, Fred, Arty.

[Sam]

There's no kids named Gary.

[Rich]

In my mind, I was like, yo, that they were starting to be dated. But that's us now.

[Covino]

Yeah. So these are dead giveaways. Complaining about your ailments, conversations about doctor visits. You're pumped to tell me about vitamins or supplements you're taking. This is all old guys talking about.

[Danny G]

How you need readers.

[Covino]

Yeah. Rich has his proactive 65 plus vitamins is one of these.

[Rich]

I wrote that down. Down. Because Covino, who is old, Hawkeye over here, who's like, Bro, 2010 vision hit.500 in high school baseball. Like, Kavino bragged about, like, he could see a street sign a mile away.

[Covino]

They call me all eagle eye.

[Rich]

We were at. We were at a fight in Vegas, and I remember being like, yo, you think he's gonna knock him out? There's a minute 15 left in the round. The convener's like, where are you seeing this?

[Covino]

I couldn't see. That's when I got glasses. Yeah.

[Rich]

Big scoreboard. He's like, I don't see a thing.

[Danny G]

Covid eye.

[Covino]

I blame Covid.

[Rich]

Yeah, you could say Covid eye. You could say you're 40 something, but yeah. Readers. When you see your buddies who you went to the club with 10, 20 years ago, and they're buying readers, that's when you know. Let's say I had a trip in Vegas. One of our good buds. Tripp. How do you know you're getting older? What's up, man? When you're LeBron James and you have arthritis.

[Covino]

Yeah, what are those references?

[Rich]

What's up, Tripp? Hold on. Danny's phones are hot. Hold on.

[Covino]

Phones are on fire. 87799 on Fox or at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. On social media.

[Rich]

What's up, Tripp?

[Ryan]

Hey, gentlemen. Always good to hear y'. All. Great to End my weekend listening to y'. All.

[Rich]

Oh, you know what's old school? Danny answers a phone that has a cord on it when you. When you call.

[Covino]

That is true.

[Rich]

What's up, man?

[Ryan]

A term would be go to the market instead of the grocery store. Like, where the hell's the market? And then for injury, that I would go with tennis elbow and bursitis.

[Rich]

My dad had tennis elbow. That isn't all. I think that's like, yeah, you know what?

[Covino]

Thank you, Tripp. You know, the old guy referenced to, like, give me a call is doing, like, the cowabunga Shaka, like, thumb to ear. And a kid today would just put his hand to his ear, like, call me.

[Danny G]

Yeah, like a flat iPhone.

[Covino]

Like a flat iPhone. So even our, like. Oh, they'd say, even our gestures are like old guy gestures.

[Sam]

They said, don't call me, text me.

[Rich]

Yeah, I have a question. Rich, even. Yeah, you know what, Rich?

[Covino]

Calling me all the time. I'm like, dude, what are you, 75 years old? To shoot me a text?

[Rich]

You know these.

[Sam]

You do these little thumbs.

[Rich]

I won't call you anymore. I have a question. I know this is. Ellen DeGeneres did this in a stand up routine, like, years ago. So I don't know why you think I'm stealing Ellen's jokes, of all people, but she did do a joke about, like, how do you tell someone to roll down their car window now? Because remember, back in the day, your parents would be like, roll it down.

[Sam]

Like, roll it down like the gray Poupon Wayne's World.

[Rich]

You make a circle with your fingers.

[Dan Byer]

Do you.

[Rich]

What do you do now? Just like. Like, if you needed to get someone's attention, like, roll down the window. Do you still do the. Hey, roll it down.

[Covino]

I'm gonna ask my. My kid that. There's a universal sort of updated sign.

[Rich]

Language, but if you want to feel. If you want to feel old, look up some of these videos on TikTok or Instagram where they ask, well, there's two ways to feel old. They ask, like, let's say, UNC's men's basketball team. How old is someone? What year do they need to be born? And they'll be like, in the 1900s.

[Covino]

Oh, it's the worst.

[Rich]

Oh, it makes you feel like garbage. And the other one is when they. When people show teenagers, literally, technology from the 80s or 90s, and they pick up a cassette and they're like, what is this? Or they pick up a VCR and they're like, I don't Know, like, it's wild.

[Covino]

Those are the giveaways, along with LeBron's recent injuries. But what a game is an interesting one.

[Rich]

I saw.

A clip on Social where they were asking kids what they thought the yellow pages and the white pages were. And watching kids learn that numbers, you should just be in a big fat book. They were like, what? Like, they. Like they couldn't comprehend addresses.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Right.

[Covino]

You want to look people up. So random.

[Rich]

You know, it's. We said it's snowy on the east coast. Remember on those days where the weather was a little suspect? There would be like, a phone chain at school. Like, your mom would get a call from someone, like, school's canceled and she had to call someone else's.

[Odoo Announcer]

Or you'd have to watch the news.

[Rich]

Yeah. The ticker scroll on the bottom.

[Danny G]

What's up?

[Covino]

Yeah, not town channel.

[Rich]

I'm not trying to cramp local radio, but local radio used to be important because they'd be like. Remember, they do, like, traffic, time and weather, and it's like traffic ways, weather, iPhone, time, phone. Like, is there really a need for some local guy to be like, he has the traffic in the weather.

[Danny G]

Some. Some people like to kick back and have somebody tell it all to them.

[Rich]

You think if I'm going to see you in the. Danny, if I'm going to. If we're coming for. If we're covering for, like, Colin and I got to see the traffic on the way to Fox. Do you think I'm listening to, like, the local traffic guy? Or you think I'm just going to waze in Google Maps?

[Covino]

I got two more dead giveaways that you have arthritis in your foot.

[Rich]

Like 20 minute backup on the Verrazano Bridge.

[Covino]

If really, if a younger person hands you their phone and you take the picture landscape, that's like an old guy move. Because every young person does it. They want the tall 5.7, like, the gram. They want it for Instagram or whatever. And if your reference is Facebook or even Instagram, you're kind of an older guy. Because every young kid's on, like, Snapchat or something else.

[Rich]

Yeah, I don't know. I think everyone knows that, right? Like, your kids think that Facebook's like, the old person social media.

[Covino]

Yeah, that's for my aunt Sharon.

[Rich]

All right, Will, wrap it. And then we're gonna talk about our big games, and we're gonna play a game. What's up, Will?

[Ryan]

What's up, fellas? First things first. I've been listening to you guys from Time. You guys got a Fox Sports. And you guys are, like, listening to my boys hanging out.

[Rich]

Oh, dude, that's awesome. That's the goal, man. What's up?

[Covino]

Thank you, buddy.

[Ryan]

Favorite call in ever was when a guy called in to talk trash to you guys. Like, wait a minute. But you're listening to us anyway.

[Odoo Announcer]

I am.

[Ryan]

I am not a fashion dude. And where you guys love to go get your. Your favorite sports team headwear. I'm a district sales manager for out here in Michigan. And anyways, when I first started with the company, my boss at the time was a big shoe guy. And I wasn't. So I wanted to be matchy matchy with my outfits. And I went and bought myself some bomb shoes. And they were the old Nike monarchs. And of course, when he walked in, he's like, oh, old guy shoes, huh?

[Covino]

Those are mow the lawn shoes.

[Rich]

Mow the lawn shoes.

[Covino]

And.

[Rich]

But they're sort of like. They're old guy shoes. Yeah, they're old guy shoes.

[Covino]

They're those super clunky white. Yeah.

[Rich]

But don't be shocked if they make a comeback because kids wear like New Balance now.

[Covino]

You're right. You're right. Yeah, the old guy shoe was making a push. But anyway, thank you guys for all the phone calls. We have a few more.

[Rich]

No, I think. You know what?

[Covino]

We gotta move on, guys.

[Rich]

Just too many phone calls.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Thank you so much for the feedback. Needs to get to one of those things. Riches and big TV game of the week.

[Rich]

All right, it is time to go over the big TV game of the week. We do this every week thanks to tcl. Let's hit it. Sam, you should see my Fed up.

[Covino]

I got an extra tv.

[Rich]

The game that I will have. We should call it Rich's big TV Game of the Week. It's Rich's big TV game of the week.

Guys.

[Covino]

Sort of torn like Creed or Natalie Imbrillia.

[Rich]

Old guy reference.

[Covino]

Old guy reference.

[Rich]

Music.

[Sam]

Have you ever injured yourself laughing? Because I've gotten a cramp in my rib.

[Rich]

I've hurt my neck.

[Lowe's Announcer]

Like.

[Covino]

Can I tell you how? I think I not to get you off track, Rich. Joe's a like.

[Rich]

Like a fruit fly.

[Covino]

A fly in my kitchen. Bother me. And I went to snag it with.

[Rich]

My Kurt Russell Miyagi. What were you doing?

[Covino]

Reflexes. My Jack Burton reflexes. And I reached so fast and so hard, I feel. I pulled my arm out and it's been hurting me for like two weeks.

[Rich]

Fruit fly.

[Covino]

Yeah. Swear.

I'm out of commission because of this stupid thing.

[Rich]

Well, let me tell you, early games, let's zip through this because it's just too hard to decide. Early games. There's three good ones. Forget the jets and Dolphins and the Saints and Bucks and Titans, Browns, Commanders, Vikings, there's some stinkers. Seahawks are going to kill the Falcons. There's three early games. And I'll tell you what I'm going to watch. I'm going to watch the Colts and jags both at 8 and 4. Someone's going to lose and someone's going to have a one game lead in first place and that's. Man, I'm not going to tell you who I think is going to win because I don't even know. Jags maybe. But Colts and Jags, that's an AFC south matchup that gets the big tv. You might say, Rich, you're not going to give it to the Ravens and Steelers. Ooh, that's close behind. And I am curious to see if the Bills stomp on the Bengals or if the Bengals start their their glorious road to like making the playoffs sound.

[Covino]

Like a DB guy. I think that's his game.

[Rich]

Yeah, I honestly, I think the Colts, Jags is the game to watch. But not far behind the Bengals. Bills because remember we said the Bengals could run the table. Who knows. And of course Steelers, Ravens, late game.

Not.

Not as hard because there's only one good one. Broncos. Raiders. Danny G. Do you want to see your team even win this?

[Danny G]

Well, that's actually important for the Broncos because they have the tie break with the Patriots. If they keep winning, then the road's gonna have to go through Denver for the afc.

[Rich]

So Broncos would likely stomp your team. Rams, Cardinals. No Kyler Murray. Rams should easily.

[Danny G]

But Rich, you said that last time and it was a 10 to 7 game between the Raiders and Broncos and that is true.

[Rich]

And the one big game, it's going to be on everyone's tv. I wouldn't be shocked if it got huge numbers. Bears, packers on Fox It's a good one. 9 Three Bears, 83 1. Packers. Packers at home a 7 point favorite. Some people say the Bears haven't proven it yet and there are people saying like seven points. How disrespectful to the Bears. So Bears, Packers. That's huge. And then no disputes. Sunday night you got one game and it's huge. Texans, Chiefs and then Monday night, Eagles, Chargers. So all your great games. The only conflict Covino is early in the day. Are you more intrigued by Aaron Rodgers vs. Lamar Jackson or are you more intrigued by that AFC South, Colts Jags.

[Covino]

Man. It's funny. I'm more intrigued by the Aaron Rodgers.

[Rich]

Game, to be honest.

[Covino]

You throw that even though I think the Colts Jags is probably a better game.

[Rich]

So hey, thank you tcl, our big TV game of the week. Now coming up, we're going to play a game that's going to give away a prize to one of you. So if you want to end 87799 on Fox, are you on the same brainwave as Cavino Rich Spot, Danny G, Sam, Dan Byer. So we're all involved. You have a chance to win again. The number 87799 on Fox to play.

[Covino]

Quick. Timeout. Holiday upgrade Check.

[Rich]

Tell me what to do.

[Covino]

Timeout. Are you still watching the games on an old small tv?

[Malcolm Gladwell]

No.

[Covino]

Which is the weakest? Going to your house, squinting at your little TV like you're squinting Tarantino. That's good.

[Rich]

I'm the guy with the big TCL game of the week. So you're the guy that might have the weakest tv.

[Covino]

But if you.

[Rich]

Yeah, if you need the TCL in your life, they got the QM8K QD mini LED. That's the real MVP. Ultimate brightness, ultimate black levels for the ultimate experience. Picture so clear you could taste the turf.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Hello. Hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast smart talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman Arvind Krishna and I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example, if anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did. We are happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process. Because the biggest change is not technology. It's getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit IBM.com smarttalks.

[Ryan]

We're one.

[Rich]

Welcome to Brainwave.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Try to make sense of the brain.

[Rich]

It's easy. We drop fun sports, music and entertainment questions. And if you match with enough of these bosoms, you Win.

[Ryan]

I love that.

[Rich]

On the count of three, reveal brain wave.

[Lowe's Announcer]

Oh.

[Dan Byer]

One, two, three.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Yeah. You guys are on the same wavelength right now.

[Danny G]

All right, Happy Friday. The questions in this game are all subjective. You just need to try and match the brain of C and R and the crew. Let's get our. We're going to get our contestant on the studio line right now, and then I'll explain the game. Ryan was first through in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. What up, Ryan?

[Ryan]

What's going on, fellas?

[Rich]

I thought it's a Dumbledore pa. What up, Ryan? Font is small.

[Ryan]

Dunmore, not dumb.

[Rich]

Here we go.

[Danny G]

Ryan, what do you do for a living there in Pennsylvania?

[Ryan]

I work for Dempsey. It's a uniform and linen supply company.

[Danny G]

Oh, very cool. All right, here's how the game works. I five rounds ready to go. Our contestant needs to win two of them to be the champ and walk away with a CNR Nerf football. I'm gonna ask a sports, music, or entertainment question and then give three debatable answers to choose from. The six of us in studio gonna write down our answers on dry erase boards for our YouTube channel. And, Ryan, that's gonna give you time to get your answer ready. On the count of three, Ryan shouts his answer out. Then we go around the studio to reveal ours. Our contestant has to match with four of us to win the round. So he's got a bat.667. Or no matter the caller's answer, if all six of us in studio happen to match Ryan, you automatically win the round. All right, here we go. Round one. You guys have your dry erase boards ready?

[Covino]

Ready?

[Rich]

Yeah, I'm trying it out now. Hold on.

[Danny G]

He's drawing something bad over there that HR would not approve. All right, we're gonna start with entertainment. Yeah, we're start with entertainment. It's widely considered that Christian. Christian Bale played the best Batman. Which of these actors is second best? Michael Keaton, Robert Pattinson, or Adam West?

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

[Covino]

This is easy.

[Danny G]

You say. All right, There's a lot of debate about this online. All right, on the count of three, Ryan, you're gonna shout out your answer. One, two, three.

[Ryan]

Michael Keaton.

[Danny G]

Michael Keaton. He says. Covino, you go first.

[Covino]

Ah, I'm an old guy. I used to watch the reruns. Adam West.

[Rich]

Oh, come on, dude. I used to love it. Son of a gun. I. I gave the old guy answer, too, because I'm like, they only did, like, one movie, and, like, Adam west is Batman, dude. Adam West. Those are old guys.

[Danny G]

All right, DB.

[Dan Byer]

Adam West.

[Rich]

What am I working with?

[Sam]

Okay, he. Right now, he's 0 for 3, but everybody's mad.

[Danny G]

But he doesn't. Doesn't sound like Spotty's in agreement, though.

[Ryan]

Oh, man.

[Covino]

Not a chance.

[Rich]

Michael Keaton, by far, is the best Batman. Even better than Bale.

[Danny G]

No, Michael Keaton was over waiting.

[Sam]

No, there we go. No, you did get one right, but that.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Can't get it, though.

[Danny G]

I also said Adam west because I. Shame on. Have you ever seen the documentary spot? He is Batman.

[Sam]

Oh, come on. I gave Michael Keaton.

[Rich]

Come on.

[Sam]

Michael Keaton was the Batman of the 80s. And what, I didn't get an option for Val.

[Rich]

The old guys.

[Odoo Announcer]

Batman.

[Sam]

Danny didn't give Val Kilmer.

[Danny G]

There's a reason why. Because Val Kilmer's ahead of these guys.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

He was pretty good.

[Rich]

Yeah, I like that.

[Danny G]

All right, we're gonna move to round two. It's all right. There's four more surprising.

[Rich]

And all choose Clooney.

[Sam]

Oh, no, we don't talk about that one.

[Danny G]

Come on. All right, round two. Let's go to sports. Which of these is the most memorable baseball card of the 1980s? The 1989 Topps. Billy Ripken, F face. The 1989 upper deck, Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie, or the 1984 Don Russ? Don Mattingly, rookie. Everybody fought for. Oh, all right. F face. Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie or the Don Rust on Mattingly, rookie.

[Ryan]

Oh.

[Danny G]

All right. Think about your answer, Ryan. The rest of us down. Yeah. This one's hard.

The most memorable.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Danny G]

All right. Everybody locked in?

[Covino]

Locked in.

[Rich]

I think so.

[Danny G]

Ryan, we need your answer on the count of three. One, two, three.

[Ryan]

I gotta go.

[Rich]

Griffey.

[Danny G]

Let's go. And Griffey. We're going in reverse order this time, Iowa.

[Sam]

Sam, I said Griffey.

[Danny G]

All right. There's one for you.

You know. Yeah, Griffey. But the one card we were tearing packets opening up, looking for was the F face card.

To Spotty.

[Rich]

I went with Griffey as well. I do agree, Danny, but, like, I think the more coveted card was the Griffey.

[Covino]

Okay.

[Danny G]

All right. Dan Barnes. Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

I mean, it's gonna pay for my son's college. Of course, the Griffey upper deck.

[Danny G]

That's what we thought at the time. All right. Rich Davis.

[Rich]

I wrote Griffey Jr. But I put three F's for some reason.

[Danny G]

Was that. Is that four?

[Covino]

Yeah. Is that four? He gets that round. I went with Billy Ripken. That FLIR card. Was legendary. I'm with Danny G. But congrats. You got that round.

[Danny G]

Yes. All right, so you're halfway to a CNR prize. All right, we go to round three. Let's go to the music category. Which of these. These music acts most deserve to be inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame? Oh, Billy Idol, The Black crows or the B52s?

[Covino]

Oh, this is.

[Danny G]

There's debate on all three of these.

[Covino]

Any other brain busters?

[Danny G]

All right, we're all writing our answers.

[Lowe's Announcer]

Down.

[Danny G]

And we need your answer. Ryan, on the count of three. One, two B52s. You said B52s. All right, Covino, we start with you.

[Covino]

Well, I guess Rich is the only guy gonna agree with him, But Billy Idol, Come on.

[Rich]

I mean, Rich, Ryan, It's a nice day for a white wedding. And he was also in wedding singer. Billy Idol. Come on.

[Covino]

Go with the B52.

[Danny G]

Dan Beyer.

[Dan Byer]

I think you guys know where I'm going with this. He was our former teammate at Fox Sports Radio, and even though he had a falling out with the Robinson brothers, shout out Steve Gorman.

[Danny G]

Black Crows are great.

[Dan Byer]

Great.

[Rich]

A great band.

[Danny G]

I used to listen to the Gorman brothers shake.

[Covino]

Your money maker was a game changer.

[Danny G]

All right, Spotty.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

You know, I do agree on the.

[Covino]

The B52s should have made it, but I went with Billy Idol just because he's more rock.

[Danny G]

I don't know know why.

[Sam]

All right, but great.

[Covino]

He was so mtv.

[Lowe's Announcer]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Punk rock Elvis, man.

[Danny G]

Before he passed, even Ozzy Osborne said that Billy Idol should be inducted into the Rock and roll Hall.

[Rich]

Hall of Fame.

[Danny G]

So I said Billy and Sam.

[Sam]

I did say the B52s.

[Covino]

Wow.

[Sam]

B52s are legendary. They should be.

[Rich]

What are they saying besides Love Shack, Rock Lobster, Rid.

[Sam]

Private Idaho, My Private Own, Private Idaho. They have a lot of hits.

[Rich]

You'd.

[Sam]

They're a little bit more, like, kitschy, though. Like, they're.

[Covino]

They are. They're niche.

[Rich]

That's why I think they deserve it because they are a little bit unique.

[Sam]

They're very unique.

[Covino]

Very unique.

[Dan Byer]

Sam just needed to come up with two. Just two more songs and then put her on cruise control.

[Danny G]

All right, let's. Let's go back to sports.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Right?

[Danny G]

All right, we're clearing. We're clearing our dry erase boards. We're going to go to sports.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Danny G]

Which of these legendary wide receivers had the best hands? Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Largent, or DeAndre Hopkins? Out of those three, which legendary wide receiver had the tough best hands?

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Oh, yeah. These are great.

[Sam]

What are the options again?

[Danny G]

Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Largent, or DeAndre Hopkins?

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

Everybody locked in?

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

All right, Ryan, we need your answer on the count of three. One, two, three. Larry F. Okay, he says Fitzgerald.

Which way did we go last time?

[Covino]

Sam starts.

[Rich]

Do I start?

[Danny G]

We go in reverse order, so, Iowa. Sam.

[Sam]

All right, here we go. This is hard because I have to use one hand to reveal one hand for the dinger. I said Larry Fitzgerald.

[Danny G]

Gerald.

[Covino]

Leave your dinger out of this.

[Odoo Announcer]

Whoa.

[Danny G]

I remember seeing some spidey catches from this dude. I said D hop. He had a wide radius and spotty.

[Dan Byer]

I went with Gerald FitzLarry.

[Danny G]

Oh, that's two balls. Good.

[Dan Byer]

I feel you guys put me in a bad spot here. I know, because I knew the caller was gonna say Larry Fitzgerald, but I got you think I'm gonna go against Largent? Like, there's no way you can.

[Rich]

However, you know what? He's the only guy who's the only guy whose hands we saw because he didn't wear gloves. Best hands. Oh, nice hands.

[Danny G]

No, Largent was amazing. Rich. What did you say?

[Rich]

I'm with you, Danny. I went D hop. I'm sorry, man. I think I've seen him, like, make some pretty sweet, you know, circus type catches.

[Covino]

We've actually shook the hand of Larry Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitz. Larry.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

There you go.

[Danny G]

Yeah, but not enough, right?

[Covino]

But not enough.

[Danny G]

Not enough for the point, though.

[Rich]

Well, shy of one.

[Danny G]

We're going down to the wire.

[Rich]

Last category, and he needs this one, right?

[Danny G]

Entertainment. He needs us to win. Which of these actors would you cast in an upcoming film where you needed a leading lady? Margot Robbie. Emma Stone or Zendaya. Those are like the three it leading ladies on the Internet right now. All right, we're all going to write our answers.

[Rich]

I think this is a no brainer, and I think that Ryan should get a prize.

[Covino]

Hell yeah.

[Rich]

If he fails this one.

[Covino]

Let's go.

[Dan Byer]

I'm ready.

[Rich]

If he fails. Yo, Ryan. On the count of three. Danny, do it.

[Danny G]

All right. One, two, three.

[Ryan]

Margot Robbie. Not even close.

[Danny G]

All right, we're gonna start with Covino.

[Covino]

Margot Robbie.

[Rich]

Easy peasy, Summer squeezy Red cheeky. Let me tell you, I don't think there's a hotter woman on earth than this woman in the Wolf of Wall Street. She was also Barbie. I think this is a no brainer. Margot Robbie. 1,000%.

[Dan Byer]

All right, DB I almost put three B's. Like the three F's.

[Ryan]

Margot Robbie.

[Danny G]

Spotty boy.

[Dan Byer]

I went With Margot Robbie as well.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Sam]

Did you win?

[Danny G]

Oh, my. I love. I love Emma Stone, but I also said Marco Robbins, so he's a winner.

[Ryan]

Chicken dinner.

[Rich]

We got a winner.

[Danny G]

Ryan, out of curiosity, Sam, what did.

[Sam]

You write down, like, a stone? She's an Oscar winner. She is a leading lady.

[Rich]

Sam's like, you just picked her because she's.

[Sam]

Because Robbie's hotter.

[Rich]

I wrote in Mae West.

[Sam]

Emma Stone's an incredible actor.

[Covino]

She's great.

[Danny G]

I love it. Kathy Bates.

It took all five categories. But, Ryan, you are a winner. We're gonna mail out a. A CNR Turbo Nerf football to Pennsylvania when the shipment arrives.

[Rich]

Yo, Ryan, you're a great dude. Great energy. Thanks for playing. I'm glad you won.

[Ryan]

I love you guys, man. Listen to you every day.

[Danny G]

Love you guys.

[Rich]

Your soul. Thank you, brother. And as we go to Dan Byers update, I know I could feel Dan Byers energy, and that is what he loves about Iowa. Sam, like, just undeniably, Margaret, Robbie's the answer, and he's like, but I'm a stone.

[Dan Byer]

I think we should get Sam a chalkboard instead of a whiteboard so I.

[Sam]

Can, like, do, like, formulas of who's better.

[Dan Byer]

No, just because it' like, that's. Yeah, that's all, though.

[Covino]

How everybody loves Margot Robbie, yet Jenna Presley looked exactly like her and didn't get the same reaction.

[Dan Byer]

I just tried to guess what I thought the caller was going to say on that one.

[Covino]

Jamie Presley was hot, too.

[Rich]

You said Jenna Presley.

[Covino]

Oh, that's a girl.

[Rich]

That's a porn star.

[Covino]

Well, that's a girl that Rich used to know.

[Rich]

I met Jamie Presley, said Jenna Presley. Now where Your head's at, D.B. what's up, man?

[Dan Byer]

All right, well, let's get out of the gutter here, guys, and let's talk some sports. The United States will play in group d for the 20.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray not going to play for the rest of the year. If you don't believe me, believe head coach Jonathan Gannon.

[Covino]

Kyler will not play again this year. So he has some more tests done this week. Went out of state, got another opinion on it. It's not progressing where it's going to make sense that he can go.

[Danny G]

So he's going to be done for the year.

[Dan Byer]

Jaden Daniels will start for the Commanders Ravens. Quarterback Lamar Jackson's good to go. Justin Herbert limited in practice today. LeBron James out tonight for the Lakers against the Celtics. Luka could come back on Sunday. And finally, guys, they had great athletes announcing at the final draw for the World cup today. Shaq was there. Tom Brady and Wayne Gretzky. And Gretzky in announcing, Curacao did it in his own great way.

[Covino]

Caraco.

[Dan Byer]

So that I love Wayne Gretzky. But one of the highlights from today, that's awesome, Dan.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Hello. Hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast smart talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna, and I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them Pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example, if anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers, who write software, 30% more productive today with the goal of being 70% more productive.

So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did. We are happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process. Because the biggest change is not technology. It's getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things. To listen to the full conversation, visit IBM.com smarttalks.

This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, or osa, in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snore loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.
