Hosts: Covino & Rich
Theme: Post-Super Bowl cultural fallout, sports monoculture, Winter Olympics, and the universal pain of breakups

---

Episode Overview

This episode rides the wave of post-Super Bowl emotions to explore how sports, pop culture, and even bobsledding intersect with our collective feelings—particularly heartbreak. Covino & Rich riff on the divisiveness of Super Bowl halftime shows, the search for experiences that unify America (like the Olympics), and the desperation of trying to win someone back. The show is full of humor, Gen X/Millennial references, and their signature relatable takes on masculinity, nostalgia, and social media.

On June 11, 1998, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went missing.

[Covino]

Hey, if they'll kill a cop and bury him, what are they gonna do to me?

[Rich]

So everyone's. I think everyone needs to get laid or something. I know. You know what?

Covino and Rich, fsr, We're streaming live. Hi. And remember, man, I know Bad Bunny's not your type of American or whatever, a lot of people. Because we've seen the complaints. Yeah, but musicians have been raging against the machine forever. That's nothing new.

[Rich]

I saw funny. I saw funny.

[Covino]

And not every part of America is the same. Not everybody's view of America is the same. But it's. It's still America, right? People need to relax. It's not that deep. And by the way, Kid Rock also reaped the benefits. Like we said, he's got a number one song in the country today, so congrats to him.

[Rich]

Unfortunately, politics are always brought into things, even if you like it or not. I heard someone once say, why?

[Covino]

Why does that have to be the case? It wasn't political. It was cultural. Like I said, it was a business move.

[Rich]

Did you ever see there's like a famous post of someone hit up Rage Against a Machine, and they're like, you know, you guys should stop with the politics and I think the answer was what machine do you think we're raging against? The washing machine? That's true.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

I thought that was pretty funny.

[Covino]

People have always, you know, fought against the man. Stick it to the mon.

[Rich]

That's.

[Covino]

That's part of rock and roll. That's a mindset. Why are we so butthurt about these things?

[Rich]

You know what? I thought it was a fun fact. For those that didn't know the original counter programming. The reason the super bowl halftime show is this huge monumental event is because of counter programming. Is because of counter programming to begin with. Because before you got your, you know, Michael Jacksons and Beyonce's and Prince and Prince and you know, the who and you know, Bruce Springsteen and Katy Perry.

[Covino]

Absolute.

[Rich]

Bruno Mars.

[Covino]

Bruno Mars, you know. Absolutely.

[Rich]

Lady Gaga.

[Covino]

Gaga, you know, before all that, it.

[Rich]

Was like again, like people playing the trumpet and juggling. And then all of a sudden I.

[Covino]

Think there was a dancing bear in a tutu the year before riding a tricycle. And then chubby checker in 1988, it was Keenan Ivory Wayans who was the genius to say, let's steal from this audience and let's pull millions and millions of people from the super bowl to halftime and Living Color. And the NFL did not like that. So they made it a thing. They went Michael Jackson and never went back. That's really the truth. So counter programming is what brought us to this point. Anyway, it's nothing new. And neither is sticking it to the mon. You know, it's nothing new.

[Rich]

Every time we talk about halftime show spot, our video guy, you always bring up one that I forget, but it sounds great. Why don't I. You always bring up like a Britney Spears Aerosmith boy band. I don't know why I don't recall.

[Covino]

That One was the 2001 Super bowl extravaganza. It was, yeah, it was Aerosmith, NSync, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Nelly. It was a really good, like mega mix of artists. That's why I heart festival. I was hoping. No, but it was really good. I was hoping it was Metallica and you bring out a few rap guys and maybe Miley Cyrus because she rocks out a little bit. And then you get the bad bunny a few years from now. Yeah, that's like their windows. Their windows smaller, right? And it's in San Francis. But I'm not complaining, I'm just explaining.

[Rich]

I'm not the typewriter.

[Covino]

People love to complain.

[Rich]

Can I tell you, I don't want to be the type of guy I don't want anyone to be like, look at you just burying your head in the sand. You know what I worry about? Worry about. You know what I got to do today? My kids got baseball practice. I want to go home, get dinner, watch a show, chill out, come to.

[Covino]

Work the next day, watch Star Search. It's not bad.

[Rich]

It's not bad.

[Covino]

It's an easy watch. It's on Netflix.

[Rich]

Well, I'm caught up on Traitors, which, by the way, Danny G, I thank you and Covino for both recommending Traitors, because that show. I'm not a big reality guy. That show's fantastic. It really is good.

[Covino]

Yeah. This season especially, you know, makes this show.

[Rich]

The host, Alan Cumming with his flamboyant Scottish ways.

[Covino]

He doesn't want to be Pee Wee Herman, that guy.

[Rich]

What are you talking about? That guy's fantastic. All you traitors.

[Covino]

Hey, you know what it is? When you got the post NFL blues and you're still mad about the super bowl, you need something else, right? So check out Traders, Star Searcher. Catch our show covino and rich FSR on YouTube. And I do want to make this clear.

[Rich]

The miracle documentary. Watch that. Yeah, that's pretty. On Netflix. About the 1980 men's hockey team. And it's them now, like 50 years later.

[Covino]

And there's always NBA and the Olympics, if you want. But I do want to say this just to make it clear. I'm not a Bad Bunny fan, guys. Never was, probably never will be Bugs Bunny fan. I'm more. I'm definitely. What's up, doc? More. Way more of a Bugs Bunny fan, to be honest.

[Rich]

You're a Playboy bunny fan from the 90s. You said you had that Adam Nicole Smith CD DVD in college.

[Covino]

Oh, man. Every time my roommate left, I watched that.

[Rich]

I asked Kavito. I go. Because today, not to be all over the place, Danny, but I said to Covino earlier.

[Covino]

Too late.

[Rich]

Today is the anniversary of Billy Madison hitting theaters.

[Covino]

Oh, yes.

[Rich]

Oh, the Sandman. Oh, yes. Oh, Billy Madison. Oh, yeah. Oh, shampoo is better.

[Covino]

Back to school.

[Rich]

Back to school.

[Covino]

You protect me. Tee hee hee.

[Rich]

Chlorophyll. More like borophyll.

[Covino]

I said to Cavino, I go, suntan lotion. Good for me.

[Rich]

I said, on the anniversary of Billy Madison. Is there a VHS tape that you wore out more in college than Billy Madison?

[Covino]

I don't know.

[Rich]

Maybe Tommy Boy or Ace Ventura. And Camino goes, no, Adam Nicole Smith.

[Covino]

On she was hot back then, bro. Back in my college days. So what do you.

[Rich]

Put a sock on the door.

[Covino]

Yeah. I'm not a Bad Bunny fan. I don't want people to think, like, I'm sort of this bandwagon. I'm not. I'm just saying it was. It was entertaining. Do you not have eyes? It was fun. I don't know. I didn't know what to expect, but it was better than I thought. And people are so angry, and Rich is right. On a week of love. On a week of love. It's Valentine's week, papi. Happy Valentine's, papa. Go out, buy a box of chocolates, get some lovin', relax and enjoy the week. Stop being so mad about everything. Why are you so mad?

[Rich]

You know, Cavino used to say, get some Russell Stover and Bender.

[Covino]

I used to. That was back in the early 2000s.

[Rich]

All right, let's say hi to Michael in Chicago. What's up, Mike?

[Covino]

Hello.

[Rich]

What's up, bud?

[Covino]

Hey. What's up?

[Rich]

What up?

[Covino]

I had a fun journey here. I was just sitting around.

[Rich]

I had this hot take that was.

[Covino]

Kind of blowing up on threads. What's the hot take?

[Rich]

What's the hot take, buddy?

[Covino]

Yeah. So.

[Rich]

Mike, you get to. Mike, you get to be a little. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. I have adhd. You're gonna have to be a little quicker with the story. Let's go. Let's go.

[Covino]

He got that add in. High def. I think neither team in the super bowl will be the first in their division next year.

[Rich]

Oh, you know what I could get with that take?

[Covino]

For sure?

[Rich]

That's Buffalo and the Rams. Buffalo and the Niners. Dare I say Miami?

[Covino]

No, I like my take better. Seriously. No offense. You know the premise. Did you guys ever see School of Rock? Remember? Of course, Ned Schneebly, the legend of the rent was way past due. And what was the whole premise of rock and roll? Stick it to the man, right? That was like, lesson number one. Stick it to the man. You know, the man is the man.

[Rich]

The government.

[Covino]

That's like, what? Rock and roll. It's the big F you to everybody. Stick it to the man. And all of a sudden, like, we're worried about everyone caring about the, like, who cares? It's rock and roll. Why are we so sad about this? I don't know. So I like my take.

[Rich]

Like I said, this is nothing new on a week of love.

[Covino]

Week of love. I think everyone positivity.

[Rich]

I think everyone just pent up, send good vibes, go on Tinder, swipe. If you're single, you find someone. Just keep swiping. Someone will say yes.

[Covino]

I'm as mad as hell.

[Rich]

Al in North Dakota. What's up, Al.

[Covino]

Docker Allen. Oh, Alan.

[Rich]

What's up, Alan? How are you, buddy?

[Covino]

I did 24 in the Navy. I'm in my 60s. And, you know, I'm not no Bad Bunny fan. First Amendment rights man. He could do whatever he wants. Anybody can listen to whatever they want to. And one other thing.

[Rich]

Yep.

[Covino]

Two weeks ago, I called you guys up, and it was about whenever you wake it up drunk, We'll never know the end of the Never know how, Ellen.

[Rich]

Right.

[Covino]

You can do what you want to do. He's right about that.

[Rich]

Yeah, I think. You know what? I think social media did. That really was unfortunate.

[Covino]

Divided the country. A.

[Rich]

Divided the country, you know?

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Yes.

[Covino]

It's good. Ruined our attention spans. It's good because it's made us less social.

[Rich]

It's good because we get to see, you know, old friends. But besides that, all of that is.

[Covino]

You're watching clips of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper. That's what you're doing with it.

[Rich]

No, I just feel like social media has divided us. And unfortunately, and I say this kindly, I think he gave everyone some.

[Covino]

Weird.

[Rich]

Opinion that their opinion means a lot.

[Covino]

Everybody's an expert.

[Rich]

Everyone's an expert. And like, yes, you know what?

[Covino]

Whatever the hot story is, they're the expert.

[Rich]

You could sit some topics out and be like, you know what? You know why I don't talk about certain things? Why do you think I don't go on deep hockey dives on this show? I don't know enough about hockey to go on a deep dive, and no one would care.

[Covino]

You know a lot about knock hockey.

[Rich]

Yo. There's no way on earth you beat me in knock hockey.

[Covino]

In. What is it called? Dome hockey. Like, bubble hockey?

[Rich]

You might beat me at that, but not air hockey.

[Covino]

You're talking about air hockey. No, no, no. The dome at the arcade. What is that called? The big bubble Dome.

[Rich]

Looks like I just played air hockey.

[Covino]

Oh, that's great, too. You know air hockey?

[Rich]

Of course I know air hockey, Sam. But you don't know what he's talking about. It's almost like foosball, but in the. In the. Like, the little dome.

[Covino]

I used to love that. Honestly, I'm gonna have one of those in my man cave one day.

[Rich]

You think you.

[Covino]

Yeah. Dome hockey. Dome hockey.

[Rich]

I have a question. Do you think our show could whip Stu Got's ass in a. In a gaming competition of ping pong, knock hockey, 100, darts, pool? So you think it was me You.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Danny G. Sam.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Buyer. Spotty. You think. You think those guys would be toast?

[Covino]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just. My arms a little wonky right now though. But yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm confident in that. But anyway, do what you want to do, guys.

[Rich]

I feel like we would have a fun time partying with that show afterwards.

[Covino]

And what's the premise after we whip their ass? The premise is counter programming is what got us to the super bowl halftime show. Anyway, in Living Color, 1992. So Kid Rock does his counter programming good.

[Rich]

Whatever.

[Covino]

Who cares? Good for him. And by the way, I am the bull God. One of my favorite rock songs.

[Rich]

So what could we all rally behind after watching that documentary?

[Covino]

The Olympics, man. Usa.

[Rich]

No, I was gonna say I want to. I want to talk about the Olympics for a second. But I did bring up that documentary Miracle the boys of 1980. Not miracle the Movie, which was great. I'm talking about the documentary that came out this year on Netflix. I said it yesterday and I was fascinated.

[Covino]

I can get behind Mike Urizioni Iruzzioni. The Captain.

[Rich]

Oh, fantastic.

[Covino]

Mike Eruzioni.

[Rich]

I'm not. I'm not a hockey guy.

[Covino]

But.

[Rich]

But watching that documentary, listen, it was not a. You know, we're coming. We were coming off a pretty wild time in the United States, right. 60s and 70s led to a lot of nationalism in the 80s, right. A lot of people, they said that the USA. USA. That chant started and was first heard at the 1980 Olympics for the men's hockey team.

[Covino]

USA.

[Rich]

What. What would it take? Do we need. Do we need someone to root for as a.

[Covino]

As a collective, something to rally around?

[Rich]

What can we all behind?

[Covino]

That's a good one. Where whether or not you like, we lost monoculture. We're all in our own lanes because of social media. Everyone's algorithm dreaming. Everybody's living different lives. Everyone's different views. Our algorithms are leading us to different places. So we don't have that one connecting usa. Usa. I say check out the wbc. Check out the Olympics.

[Rich]

But. But see the WBC is a great one. But wbc. A lot of people root for their. Their native land. Like you might root for Mexico or Puerto Rico.

[Covino]

I root for Mexico. But I want. I want USA Anywh.

[Rich]

But what I'm saying is what could we all get behind a LA 45 plus years ago in 1980, when everyone.

[Covino]

Like, what could we all agree upon that's. That could unify us?

[Rich]

I feel like we like there's very.

[Covino]

Few things that Everyone agrees upon, man, that's tough. Like Tiger King during COVID That's the last monoculture discussion we all had because everybody watched because I saw a tiger. Maybe we all need that song back in our life. And the tiger saw, man. Maybe we need that.

[Rich]

You know what I feel, Danny? Do you have a thought?

[Covino]

I wonder if Kid Rock sang that in his halftime.

[Rich]

He should have. I. I feel. I feel like Kid Rock. I feel like.

[Covino]

I feel like.

[Rich]

I feel like Kid Rock would like to hang with the Tiger King people.

[Covino]

I saw Tiger.

[Rich]

So I feel like that child. Danny G. I have a theory on Tiger King. If it was any other time but Covid, no one would have watched it. I feel like we were in the most desperate of situations. Like, we're all stuck at home. Like, it wouldn't been on tlc and it would have been, like, a part of the rotation with, like, my 600 pound life.

[Covino]

Remember, if you remember, the only people that won Covid was the Tiger King and the naked black guy and the Bulls documentary. Yeah, that was. That was their.

[Rich]

During. During COVID It was last dance.

[Covino]

Tiger King and Wood.

[Rich]

And Wood.

[Covino]

And Wood is the link of the naked black dude on the bed that everybody passed around. Oh, and puzzles hit a boom.

[Rich]

Oh, and people. Oh, people going on like. Like Zoom and, like, drinking with their friends.

[Covino]

Zoom sniped Skype.

[Rich]

Yeah, they pulled a cowherd.

[Covino]

They pulled a cowherd is what happened. That's exactly what.

[Rich]

That's what I call it. They pulled a column.

[Covino]

So, yeah, we need to find that unifying thing. And, hey, maybe it could be Covino and Rich. What do you think? All right, so let's talk Olympics, man. Because that should be a unifying thing.

[Rich]

As we watch the Olympics.

[Covino]

It is for the other nations.

[Rich]

As we watch the Olympics. I know, the joke goes. Here we are, everyone's all critical. Meanwhile, you're sitting on the couch with your fat belly eating chips, watching this. But I asked Augusto, who's one of the guys that runs this place, with Big Mike.

[Covino]

Who. Yeah, Augusto. Who's lesser known.

[Rich]

Big Mike. He's Big Mike's. Mike's boss.

[Covino]

So he's Miguel Grande.

[Rich]

Miguel Grande. I said to Augusto, I go, the Olympics are on. I go, yo, Augusto, if you had to perform or participate in one Olympic event where you think you look the least dumb, what would it be like? Where do you think you could blend in the most and not look ridiculously out of place?

[Covino]

Is there an event where you like freestyle skiing? No, because you're freestyling how they know if you suck or not?

[Rich]

Like, remember they did.

[Covino]

Yo, look at his moves.

[Rich]

Remember the Olympics?

[Covino]

He's freestyling.

[Rich]

Remember the breakdancing woman that one year?

[Covino]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was horrible. Australian. The Australian break dance lady.

[Rich]

Like, what about, like, what about where they do like the, the rifle? Like they shooting? Like, do you think like you. Ah, biathlon.

[Covino]

Yeah. Curling, Easy.

[Rich]

You think curling?

[Covino]

You? I'm good at sweeping. Good sweep?

[Rich]

Yeah, it's fine. You at the, at the bar in San Francisco, we were playing. What are you, like a little shuffleboard thing? Yeah.

[Covino]

So you can shuffleboard on ice.

[Rich]

That's easy. Shuffleboard on ice.

[Covino]

Give me a few beers, I'm down.

[Rich]

So you think curling.

[Covino]

How about cross country skiing? I could do the Gazelle. I could do that. My best Tony Little. If you have a Nordic track at home, you. You're already halfway there. Hi.

[Rich]

Cross country skiing. Is there anything else that comes to mind? I know it's a dumb hypothetical, but as you're watching, because I'm watching couples figure skating and to me it's the most majestic, beautiful thing. Call me corny, but I watch a couple doing figure skating like that. I think it. Honestly, I think it's beautiful. Majestic.

[Covino]

Rich also loves synchronized swimming. Maybe you just love synchronicity.

[Rich]

Well, you know what? But I. I feel like you're the type of guy that would go ice skating with your girlfriend and be along the wall the whole time.

[Covino]

I'm like Rocky Balboa.

[Rich]

You're like Rocky? You're gonna keep your sneakers on like Balboa?

[Covino]

Absolutely. You guys last hour talked about how the three of you, Spotty, Covino and Rich were all dancing at the wedding and it was just the three of you on the dance floor. How about ice dancing? Yeah, because that's different than ice skating.

[Rich]

Ice dancing.

[Covino]

Yeah, I could do that. I could do that. I think the four of us could get together a bobsled team. Well, you know what I wouldn't do? Have you guys heard the story today? Yeah. Did you hear the story today? There's a big story about this Norwegian Olympian who has a winning record. It's not his first Olympics, it's not his first medal. His name is Sterla Holm La Greed or something like that. He's a Norwegian dude. So sorry for the mispronunciation. Sterla.

[Rich]

Sterla.

[Covino]

Sterla won a bronze in the 20 kilometer individual biathlon. Right? And when they're interviewing this jabroni, this guy loses it and he confesses that it's been, like, the toughest run of his life because, you know, he's so emotional.

[Rich]

HE SPEAKS IN NORWEGIAN but we will translate. I was. Sam, you want to hit it there?

[Covino]

If you.

[Rich]

Man, I really messed up. Can't believe I cheated on my girl. I'll never forgive myself.

[Covino]

Even though I don't know what he's saying, it's entertaining.

[Rich]

Translation. What does he say, Kavina?

[Covino]

He says that six months ago, he's like, six months ago, I met the love of my life. All right? And three months ago, I cheated on her, and I hate myself for it, and I'm very sorry. And the dude is accepting, like, his, like, award and his medal and everything, you know, you just won.

[Rich]

You can shut up. The Norwegian, Sam.

[Covino]

He's so caught up in his emotions. I thought he was translating. I was. I was. He was so caught up in his emotions that this guy admitted to cheating on his girl on international television.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

At the Olympics.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

That's a move I've never heard of before.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

So that brought us to, again, this very viral story. There's a few stories today, like I said, the Nancy Guthrie thing.

[Rich]

This is horrible.

[Covino]

And then this story, too, which is more fun. This guy is so emotional, and I get that. Right. He's so caught up in his emotions, he uses this opportunity to try to get out of the doghouse.

[Rich]

Why?

[Covino]

Because it's the Week of Love.

[Rich]

That's why Colony Canada hit us up. And he goes, this poor Norwegian guy, how cringey could you be? Yes.

[Covino]

So he, you know, it is sad.

[Rich]

He went with a team and they're saying, poor.

[Covino]

You know what it is? Rich. They said it's the curse of the evil Peni. Because how do you meet the love of your life and then three months later, you're cheating on her? What's wrong with you? Get a control. Get control of yourself. Yeah. You know, what is this guy doing? So he did mess up.

[Rich]

You know how hard it is to.

[Covino]

Find the love of your life? He found her. He finally found the love of a lifetime. And then he cheats on it three months later. So he goes on to national television, international television, right after winning the bronze, and he's like, I'm sorry. I'm the worst. And that brings us to this, rich, your desperate attempts to win her back on the Week of Love, courtesy of the Olympics.

[Rich]

The only thing that would have made that story cooler is if the gold medalist stepped forward. He's like, now if you want to.

[Covino]

Be with a real man, that's great. I Love that.

[Rich]

What's up? I was Sam. Someone actually translated a little bit of this and here it is. I can't control my horny level. I mean like listen.

[Covino]

The guy just was like, he was.

[Rich]

So control my horn.

[Covino]

He met that he just couldn't handle it. You know. Scott Hanson.

[Rich]

I can't control my horny level.

[Covino]

I mean like listen, they just translated. I don't know. I just got this from that, you know, powers of B.

[Rich]

Thank you.

[Covino]

And again, it's six months ago I met the love of my life and I. I made the biggest mistake three months later and I cheated on her and I'm sorry and blah blah, blah. Right. That's. I'm improvising here. But that was the gist. So now we posed a question to you before we play Iron Mike trivia and all that went downhill skiing. Seriously, your desperate attempts to get her back. I got one story and only one that I'm sharing. I think I have unless I think of more. I have a buttload of desperate attempts.

[Rich]

I. You do in fact.

[Covino]

Yeah, but I got one I'll share.

[Rich]

I'm going to write down the one I'm thinking about for you. And I have one. And let's be. You know, listen, we're a wide open book here in Kavino Rich. I have an embarrassing try to win her backstory that you guys will definitely laugh at my expense. We'll get to that and more. We'll give away some prizes. Iron Mike trivia all coming up this hour.

[Rich]

Let me hear your story. Let's hear your desperate police story because I thought of one for you.

[Covino]

I was early on in my radio career. I was a van driver and like swing dj. Like on the air barely at the time. Part time producer fighting for airtime but I was on the air. But mostly like a promotions guy. KROC New York at the time. But I did get to meet a big radio star just at an event or whatever. And his name, get this. Paul Cubby Bryant who still works for iHeart.

[Rich]

He does mornings on Light FM in New York. One of our good pals, Cubby.

[Covino]

So he was on one of the biggest stations in New York City. A station I knew that my ex would be listening to and I knew all her girlfriends would be listening to.

[Rich]

Oh, do you mean the station that I worked for?

[Covino]

Yes.

[Rich]

Oh yes.

[Covino]

Z100. And get this, this ties into sports unfortunately. A girl I dated for five years danced for the New Jersey Nets and left me for a player. I was crushed.

[Rich]

So she didn't only dance for the New Jersey Nets, did she?

[Covino]

Oh no, no. Yeah. And I was devastated. But I was determined to get her back.

[Rich]

Baby come back.

[Covino]

So I used my resources in like a total chump, like a desperate loser. I saw. I said to myself, I'm gonna call Paul Cubby Bryant and get him to dedicate a song not only her but to the entire dance team. Because one of the girls is bound to hear it on New York radio.

[Rich]

Yo, hit me up with some player or something. Sam. Yeah, I'm picturing. So can you give me a 2000s?

[Covino]

Yeah, I was.

[Rich]

And you know what?

[Covino]

The dude came through for me with a solid. Now this is a no fail plan.

[Rich]

Z100. Paul Cubby Bryant. Want to throw this one out to Covino. Trying to get was like probably, probably your neighbor's Jennifer, I bet. The very 90s.

[Covino]

I'm not going to give her props. Yeah, stick with Jennifer.

[Rich]

Z100. Good luck, Kavino.

[Covino]

And you know what? I was like, oh, this is it. She's mine. She's back. How could she turn that down? Didn't get bigger at the time, I would go any length to prove my dedication, my love, baby come back. And you know, like, sure enough, one of the girls on the dance team heard it and told her, like, do you know they dedicated this to you?

[Rich]

It wasn't her answer, like, how desperate.

[Covino]

She was, like, so mad about it. Like, it just put me further in the doghouse.

[Rich]

I remember Camino once told me how he went to a girl's house.

[Covino]

You know what? When a girl sees you desperate, it's over, man.

[Rich]

Yeah, you told me, like, the John.

[Covino]

Cusack with the boombox thing doesn't work. But I didn't know that back then. I just looked more like a loser in her mind. Who looks cooler in that moment? Mr. Confident dude that's with her or like Mr. Desperate dude trying to get her back?

[Rich]

Well, I'll tell you, but I've been on both sides of it. And I'll tell you, desperate guy never looks good.

[Covino]

But can I, can I thank Paul Cubby Bryant for like, doing me that solid 25 years later? Yeah, 20, 30 years later.

[Rich]

You know, I'll tell, I'll tell you this, by the way, the only time.

[Covino]

I think I ever called a radio station, by the way, I'll tell you.

[Rich]

This, she finally heard the dedication. She wants to get back together. No, but I, I remember one time you told me you went to a girl's house.

[Covino]

Yeah, of course.

[Rich]

To try to win her back. And her dad answered the door.

[Covino]

He's like, yo, bro, he came out in his tank top. Let's call.

[Rich]

Can't say white feeder anymore.

[Covino]

No, no tank top. He's like, hey, what's going. Although I'm here to see your daughter. I'm really sorry about what happened. He's like, yeah, guess what, buddy? I'm like, what? She doesn't want to see you. And I was like, ah, get off my lawn. Yeah. Now go home.

[Rich]

Get out of here. Can't you bother me? Like I said, when you're. You've been on both sides of this where I've been the new guy.

[Covino]

But you go there like a loser with flowers and a present and you think it's going to win her over.

[Rich]

I've been the new guy and I've watched the old guy desperately try to win. And I'm like, oh, I'm in. Now he's out. But I've been on the other side. I remember going. I remember going to Binghamton University and my ex girlfriend dumped me and I went to Kay Jewelers at the Carousel Center Mall in Syracuse.

[Covino]

Oh, man. That's a guarantee to win her back.

[Rich]

Because every kiss begins with K is what I thought, but I guess not. I bought, like. I spent a couple hundred bucks on, like, a necklace, and that's, like, college money. I was like, wait. Waiting tables. I bought her a necklace. I went to her dorm room.

[Covino]

Oh.

[Rich]

Knocked on the door. Some dude with a goatee and one of those white lacrosse hats, like a beaver hat, backwards.

[Covino]

Beaver University.

[Rich]

He's like, yo, what's up, bro?

[Covino]

What's up, man? I'm lacrosse guy.

[Rich]

I remember being like, is Erica here?

[Covino]

He's like, yeah, she's here. Hey, Erica, put some clothes on. Some dork is here with a present.

[Rich]

She comes to the door. She's like, what are you doing here? I thought we broke up. And she slammed the door on me.

[Covino]

And I remember driving back. Every diss begins with K. I remember.

[Rich]

Driving back from Binghamton to Syracuse. It's like, an hour drive, and I just listened to, like, sad music. And here's the fun fact. Because of that breakup, that next week, I was like, a sad SAP.

[Covino]

My buddy said, oh, like Sturla Homme La Gried.

[Rich]

I was like, Sturla Holme La Gried, Norwegian Olympian. And my buddy said, hey, why don't you come to the college radio station with me?

[Covino]

And.

[Rich]

Ta da.

[Covino]

Wow.

[Rich]

So look at that.

[Covino]

So it all started from Rich trying to get on the air just to get her attention.

[Rich]

That's true. All right, let's go to Dan by for an update, and what we'll do is we will play. You don't think we'll have time for. For Tyson trivia?

[Covino]

I don't think so. That game takes about eight minutes. You brought Mike Tyson in today.

[Rich]

No reason.

[Covino]

You guys go tell him. You go tell Mike Tyson.

[Rich]

Let's think about it. Let's go to DB for an update. What's going on?

[Covino]

I do have a quick question. I'm not familiar with Paul Cubby Bryant, but is. Was he nicknamed Cubby because of Bryant? Yeah, Paul Bear Bryant.

[Rich]

Was that the nickname in 10?

[Covino]

Yeah, since it's the same name, but wouldn't be the same guy. He's a big radio star, and I was a nobody, and he hooked me up just because I was so desperate.

[Rich]

Yeah, he's in New York. He was, like, the Jojo or the, like, Seacrest type guy.

[Covino]

Gotcha. All right, well, at the Winter Olympics today, U.S. women's hockey team blanked Canada 5. Nothing in Group A action. It's the preliminary round, men's figure skating. American Ilia Malinin is in first place. The short program US Mixed doubles curling team fell to Sweden in the gold medal match today, 6 to 5. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor could miss six weeks if he needs surgery to repair a fracture at his left wrist. Mets president David Stern said that Juan Soto will move from right to left field in 2026. Tigers are signing pitcher Justin Verlander to a one year deal. Lakers without Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart tonight against the Spurs. Steph Curry's out of the all star game. Raptors forward Brandon Ingram will replace him on three reports. There will no long a college football bowl game played in Detroit ending that game's 29 year run. Guys, back to you.

[Rich]

[Rich]

[Rich]

By the way, that desperate move and.

[Covino]

By the way, your best move is to not do anything.

[Rich]

That desperate move to try to get a girl back never, ever works. Do you ever remember this move, Danny? Unfortunately, I think we've all been there. Have you ever driven past an ex's house and you see some dude's car there?

[Covino]

Yeah, some dude in a suite. Oh, thank goodness.

[Rich]

Oh, my God. It's the most empty feeling because when you're in like high school or college.

[Covino]

Dating a dude with an eye rock.

[Rich]

All you're thinking is like. All you're thinking the whole time is like, oh, my God, there's a dude in there. And they're probably hooking up right now.

[Covino]

And he has a Pathfinder.

[Rich]

He has a Pathfinder. And he has a Pathfinder.

Hi. Now the Winter Olympic Games are underway and we are in Italy to give you experiences from our hearts to your ears. Listen to Two Guys Five Rings on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Covino]

Guys, it was so insane, I'm telling you. There's a lot of tension in the air. Big fight yesterday. Pistons, Hornets and our producer Spot, who does the videos here. Yeah, he had to go out into the lobby and tell Mike Tyson that we're not doing Mike Tyson trivia today. Mike Tyson gave him a wedgie and punched him right in the sternum well deserved. And you're bearing the headline.

[Rich]

Fernando Gate and Fernando Gates got the network up in arms.

[Covino]

Actually have exclusive audio of what Mike Tyson said to Spot.

[Rich]

You want to hear it? Yes, I do.

[Covino]

Stomp on a testicles. Wow. So he's gonna stomp on his testicles. Oh, I know. Spot still recovering in the hallways and I hope he's okay. Between that and Fernando Gate, what's going on and your thoughts on Fernando Gate, let us know or let Colin know. How about that? By the way, Cove, everybody that was holding for the game. Yeah, I took their. I gave them my email address for the show and they're all gonna get a prize back. No way. Really? Yeah. Thank you, Danny G. And thank you for all your preparation for the game. Danny G, our super producer. You know what it is? Yeah. That was a waste. Can I sum it up like this? I'm sorry, Charlie Murphy. I was having too much fun. Rich and I were having too much fun and we ran out of time for Mike Tyson and I'm really sorry that Tyson came here and I'm sorry that he punched Spot in the face and all that other stuff.

[Rich]

I'm looking at all this feedback. I said we're living in a really interesting right now where I hate this. Know what I hate, Danny G? The more controversial you know it is, football's over.

[Covino]

People don't know what to do with themselves.

[Rich]

The more feedback and interaction. So it's like a weird thing.

[Covino]

Like I don't want Rich, you are not allowed to turn into like a broke Rob Parker.

[Rich]

I'm going to tell him. He said that.

[Covino]

He's right over there. But that means he's one on one. That means you can't start copying him, man. Sam Darnold needs to win a championship. Football's over. Then he wins a championship. It wasn't because of him. I just think people want to stir things up because they're bored.

[Rich]

It's got to Be.

[Covino]

It has to be. I'm so bored with life or I'm so angry about something that I need to start fights on social media.

[Rich]

I just saw the most wild piece of feedback because it's so inconsistent with everything I do on the show. Someone's like, man, Rich. Rich Davis is a really hateful guy. Like, I feel like that'll be the last, last word to describe me. You might say he's a doofus.

[Covino]

If anything, you're oddly positive.

[Rich]

Like, his takes are stupid. He's. I hate his look. I hate his look.

[Covino]

Foolishly positive. The guy floats around the hallway.

[Rich]

I was gonna say, like, to me, it's like, hateful guy. If anything. If anything, I'm like, I'm annoyingly friendly.

[Covino]

Rich walks down the hallway singing, hi, diddle lady. A radio life for me. He's like an angry Mickey Mouse. There's a dark side to him. Shut diddly do.

[Rich]

Foolishly happy.

[Covino]

Go Lucky you.

[Rich]

Shut your mouth over there. I would not describe you as hateful in any way.

[Covino]

Dark side in there, Sam. You haven't seen it yet. Hey, diddly do.

[Rich]

But it's just so wild.

[Covino]

Like, the hate flow through you.

[Rich]

Life is fun, social media, and divisive or divisive, however you want to say it. Divisive or divisive type topics. Bad bunny just happened to infiltrate sports because it was the halftime show. You give any type of an opinion, yo, people go buck wild and bananas, dude.

[Covino]

If you say bad bunny was I, you love Trump and you're racist. It's like, what? Huh? I don't get it. I get it at all. The whole thing doesn't make sense. So anyway, let me end the.

[Rich]

Let me end the show on a question. What do you think is more likely?

[Covino]

Let's put.

[Rich]

Let's play. What's more likely? Because there are two things that involve me because I'm such a hateful guy.

[Covino]

Rich Davis, the most hateful guy. Hey, hey. I'm glad it's you, not me.

[Rich]

Two of my favorite players. Two of my favorite players. In fact, you could argue my two favorite players are both shooting for opening day debuts. Do you think Francisco Lindor, who they're saying it might be out six weeks, will be ready for opening day? Is that more likely or. George Kittle has announced that he wants to be ready in eight months for Week 1 of the NFL after that injury, do you think it's more likely that Kittle starts opening day or Lindor starts opening day? As you know. Yeah.

[Covino]

You think Kittle, right? He was ready to go to WBC until paperwork got in the way. Yeah. Well, how hard could he really be?

[Rich]

Six weeks. Might have to have a hand surgery. A little surgery.

[Covino]

If he was wrist willing to play World Baseball Classic in March. He can't be that hurt. Okay.

[Rich]

I'm just.

[Covino]

That's just my guess. I don't know.

[Rich]

You asked there. No. And I just wonder like, kiddo, you're going to have to compete with your defending super bowl champions in the Seahawks. You're going to have to worry about the Rams who are running it back with Stafford. If he could be ready for week one, don't you think he's going to want to try to like, like I don't think later in his career. Do you baby it or what do you do with that? What do you think, Danny G for Kittle? Do you try to rush that back or say no, no, buddy, come on.

[Covino]

No, let's.

[Rich]

Week four is fine. Week three, you know.

[Covino]

Yeah. Nope. No need to rush the NFL season. As you saw with your Niners. You just need a strong second half of the season.

[Rich]

Strong second half. Barrel into the playoffs with momentum and there you go.

[Covino]

Well, hey, you know, watch Star Search tonight. Yeah, I'm going to go.

[Rich]

I have to go to baseball practice now. Hi.

[Covino]

Diddly dumb.

[Rich]

You know, the most hateful guy that works kids every day.

[Covino]

Really fun. See, he's the most hateful guy. I was going to take it out on all these kids. The poor guy laughs.

[Rich]

All of you. All of you little rugrats.

[Covino]

You little nose picks.

[Rich]

You little sons of bitches.

[Covino]

Get out of here.

[Rich]
