Hope you had a nice weekend. 17 days. 17 days. What? 17 days. Oh, till football, till foosball. And there's what, 38 MLB games left. Foosball is the devil. 38 for the Brewers. And Covino and I were just doing the. They are so hot right now. They're like Hansel from Zoolander. So hot right now. Hansel's so hot right now. You know what? If it were Zoolander, the Brewers are so ridiculously good looking. I want to read the Mets, you googly. Because I don't think they're going to turn it around. It's, you know, I certainly hope they do. We'll see. We'll see. But I asked Cavino, I said The brewers have 38 games left. They got so hot at one point, Danny, that If they go 21 and 17 over their final 38, they still win 100 games. They are like in a historic month right now. That win streak barely ended too. They came from behind, tied in knife and lost an extra. So that one loss, otherwise it would. It would still be going. So I hope you're having a Brewers sort of week so far. Hope you had a nice weekend. Hope you enjoyed your UFC 319 and the little League Classic. And Rich, before we talk, Cam Ward and play, last one standing this hour. Yeah, buddy. Uh, real quick, Rob Manford during the Little League Classic said that he's open to expansion and realignment. And it's all for the greater good and growth of the sport, but realignment for easier travel and better tv. And that would put teams like the Yankees, Mets, Phillies and the Red Sox all in the same division. And I say thanks, but no thanks, only because it would make competition so much tougher. Like, did you hear those teams we just said I beat up? From a selfish point of view, I, I sort of like that. Each division does have some teams you could walk over, but I know those you need teams in your division to beat on. I know fans of those teams are like, well, f you then. But like for instance, Danny G. Your West Coast Division West, National League west, it's very competitive already with the Dodgers, Padres, Giants, and Arizona always competes. There is a party that's like, man, pork, Rockies. It's going to take a lot for them to really compete in that division. Like I said before, do you need those bottom feeders in each division or do you think you do? I think you do. Leave well enough alone, you little. Right. Yeah, leave it alone. And I also want to, before we move on, give props to David Cohn, who asked that question to Rob Manfred. David Cohn, Eduardo Perez and Carl Ravitch and his sweet pompadour asked some really hard hitting questions during a Little League Classic to Rob Manford. They asked about the ESPN deal and what's going on with baseball. What's, what's going on with your games? They asked him about, will you continue doing the Little League Classic? Is it beneficial to the mlb? Do you plan on playing more games and holding more events and doing more of this? They were really getting into it and that's how we got the juice about the possible expansion and, and realignment. But the question we pose, and we leave it at with you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, is he pressing his luck? Are they going too far? Should we leave well enough alone? You couldn't leave well enough alone, could you? But with 38, 40 games left, got to get ready for some football, too. I'll just, I'll just compare it to, like I said, anything else in life. Sometimes you got to know when to hold them, when to walk away. You know what Kenny Rogers said. Now, I do want to talk some NFL. But Danny G. You got to be really pumped about Manny Machado going one for 12 leaving nine runners left on base. The Padres Dodgers fans are roasting this guy because he really is, as you said, a hateable Player, he's not on your team. Such a punchable face. So the fact that Machado came up really lame. He came up a few times in the series in high leverage situations where they really, the Padres really needed him to come through. And he every single time. And then to end the sweep, he swung and missed and struck out. And it was a beautiful thing to see. It was beautiful. One for 12, nine runners left on base. Not a great weekend for Manny Machado. Why can't the Dodgers play like that against every team? Yeah, there's some, some of that energy where you could tell the Dodgers really dislike that Padres team. And so they bring the extra fire. So let's talk a little football or switch gears a little bit. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Danny G's on the phones. 87799 on Fox. And of course, you could always chime in @covinoenrich on social media at Fox Sports Radio. Cam Ward. This is according to Bleacher Report. Do you mean Cam Ward, as we've mentioned before, the least talked about first round pick? Well, he's the least talked about, but he's also the least talkative because he said that he only talks to his parents and his dog. And I thought maybe his dog, like his boy, but no, his actual dog. That's my dog. Yeah, that's my dog. His Rottweiler. Yeah, he only talks to his parents and his Rottweiler. His dog outside of his teammates. That's it. And it got me thinking so many things, like, do you got to keep your circles tight? Is that good for a young star in the league? And how often are you talking to other people? Like, are you often calling your buddies throughout the week? Because I'm not. I recently talked to my. How weird is that for a young guy? I recently talked to my brother about this now because my brother is going through a divorce and it ties in because he's going to be meeting a lot of new women, right? Oh, yeah. I hope so. Go get him. Oh, kid swiping like he can't put his phone down. Ooh, ooh. Tell him to make sure they're women. I've heard stories. So my brother, like a lot of guys, when you're in a relationship, you sort of lose track of your friends. And I was like, you gotta regain your social circle. Because I think there's no bigger warning sign when you meet someone and they really don't have friends. It's a red flag. Now, Cam Ward, an exception because I'm sure any woman would get with a first round draft pick. I'm a stud. But extreme focus. No time for dilly dally. You know, he's got blinders on. He's talking to his teammates, his parents and his dog. And that's it. I think that's bad. Balance, Life balance. You need to have balance. What did, what did biagi teach Daniel LaRusso? Balance, Daniel, son. Balance. But how many times in your life when you were a young man, not now, because you have rugrats, a wife, two kids, all that stuff, Right? You're older now, but when you were a young guy. How old is Cam Ward? 23. How old is that? 22. 22. You remember waking up like on a weekend, you'd go hours at a time without talking or saying hello to anybody. Sometimes, sometimes the first word out of your mouth was like the hello to your colleague. You didn't talk to anybody. I'd be doing nothing, waiting tables. I didn't speak a spoken word to anyone until like I arrived at like 5pm to wait some tables. It's a really weird thought. You really need that many? Do you need more than your teammates, your parents and your dog? I think that's something old ass people deal with. I don't think young people should operate that way. And. Let me explain. Go ahead. I think it's an introvert, extrovert sort of conversation. Maybe because I, I am what they call an outgoing introvert. I don't really need all that socializing like Rich needs. And you could hear on his personality. Rich is a real social guy. I'm the type of guy that's a butterfly. If I don't have dots on my calendar, I'm the one that's trying to be like, hey, what should we do? You want to go away for the weekend? Let's have friends over for a barbecue. Let's go to the batting cake. Let's go here. Like, like just enjoy the comfort of, of your own self and chill out a little. You told me something this morning that I thought was really funny, but I get it for introverts. Covino and his girlfriend Jordan have a theory that they don't leave the house unless there's two purposes, right? She needs to justify leaving. Like, I'm not going to target unless like she's on her way to Pilates or something, right? That's. It's more of my girlfriend's thing. There has to be two things, but there has to be multiple reasons to leave. Otherwise, what's the point? Like, I'll do it later. Hey, I'm going to Ralph's. The supermarket? Yeah. Let the let. Let the errands or activities add up and pile up first. She's not going to just go to UPS to drop something off unless she has to go to the supermarket as well. Some people don't like, as we always say, dots on the calendar, dots on your outlook. Other people like to be busy. I just think that Cam Ward's an exception because he's a superstar young athlete. So there's no shortage of people that want to be around him, including women. I'm sure that. But I think let's talk about regular people because that's what we all are. Right? If you're a regular guy or gal and you don't really have any friends, that could very well be a red flag to others. Yeah, but when you're playing football, he doesn't talk to anyone other than his parents and his dog. Come on. It says his teammates. He talks to his teammates. Right. Obviously, those are like minded young people. Those are like your friends. That's what I mean. Like, I feel like when you love what you do, and we clearly do, we work in radio, we BS all day and have fun. Yeah. You guys are my connection to what's going on. You guys become my extended family and friends in a lot of ways. Yeah. You're my co workers and colleagues and we try to keep it professional, but we're all on a mission together. So I look at you as my friend and Danny G and Sam, you guys are my friends. I don't need to be talking to everybody else. That's weird, Sam. So hold on. Sam told me if the show ever ended, he would never talk to you. Well, that's fine. You know what? F you too, Sam. I did say that. But I think. Don't you think he feels like I'm getting my social fix by hanging with all these, throwing it up in the, in the locker room with his buddies all day. Like he's there playing football with them. He needs to call his high school pals or, or be on playing video games, chatting it up with strangers. You know, we have our headphones on for a long time. So there's a couple of times where I've noticed I'll be driving home and it's bumper to bumper traffic and I haven't even turned the radio on. No music, nothing. Silence. Just silence. And I think about it, I'm like, the reason why is because we just came from so much noise. We were just chatting it up. So he's chatting it up, chopping it up, talking football all day with his buddies. He doesn't have time to talk to his like high school pals or college friends to just BS and catch up. I get it. I don't blame him. The question is, do you find it odd? If people didn't find it odd, I don't think it would be a story. I don't find it that odd. Again, the story is Cam Ward only talks to his parents and dog outside of his teammates. Now I think this is either aspirational or really sad depending on if you're an introvert or extrovert. I've read stories about how older folks like boomers are grandparents generation. If they are widowed or older in a home or living on their own, there are times that they may go a whole day without talking. Think about it. If you got kids, Danny G. A minute doesn't go by when you're not talking because your wife's probably yapping your ear off. And the minute you wake up you got little Koa. You got your two year old son, you got teenagers and 20 year old college kids coming home. You're the minute you wake up someone's like Danny or dad or something. Oh, it's non stop. But there's different. You live by yourself. There's a lot of signs. I have a question, Isaac. If your beautiful wife is gone for the day or away, can you go the whole day without speaking? Or are you the type of guy that is like talking to, going to get coffee and talking to a stranger. If my house was empty for the rare time I would sit back and drink it all in. Because in the modern house there's not only children screaming, there's also multiple iPads of theirs running at the same time. And by the way, my darling long suffering bride behind me did not appreciate the yapping remark earlier. I'll be paying for it later. Back to you. Nice. That's Isaac Loewenkron. Hey, by the way, I have another question. When he says he only speaks, that doesn't mean like group text messages and social media or anything like that. Like he's not communicating with other people. I don't know, I'm not sure how to interpret that. But either way I like my quarterback or someone I'm invested in to be as focused as possible. So any outside distraction is not helping the team in my opinion. So I think what he's doing is great. Yeah, I assume he's talking about actually speaking to somebody in person or on the phone because we all have Friends and family who don't take phone calls. They only text. I don't like taking phone calls anymore. I don't either. It's like intrusive. Like, yo, leave me alone. Text me. So I don't. I don't blame him, Rich. I really don't. To me, that shows his level of focus. Rich. That's the other thing about a house full of kids. My wife will be downstairs. Kids will call her, and they're upstairs, so they are bothering her non stop. Even calling her while they're in the same house. Yo, I think about it more and more, and that's what we're forcing you to do. How often are you calling people? Yeah, I think I'm. Besides your parents, I've accepted that I'm needy. I'm needy and annoying. You are. You're annoying as hell. Every day Rich arrives here, Rich, you're usually on the phone with a friend or a family member as you walk in because he wants you. He's using you to hold his hand while he goes from point A to point B to kill time. So he's really using you. If he's on the treadmill, he's just trying to kill time. If you. And he's like dragging you along for the process. It's like, yo, beat it, dude. I don't have time for that. If you don't know, think about it. Your friend, I talk to my dog. If no one's around. My dog, my parents, I don't want to call anybody else. You could text your friends. You could text like anyone else in your life that's important. Sound like an unsocial. No, you sound like you need to talk to everybody for every minute of the day. All right. You have a 20 minute drive to Fox Sports Radio. I call my parents. Yeah. Bubs are old and I want them to know that I care. Isn't that a good opportunity to call your sibling or an old high school or college buddy or someone or your buddy? No, he's busy. He doesn't want to talk to you. You could text him. You have to ask yourself this in this day and age, Is that something that could have been texted? Now, I'm not saying it's not fun to catch up every once in a while with an old friend and hear their voice. It's nice sometimes, but there's so many times Rich calls me. That could have easily been a text. And I think to myself, that could have been a text. I'm going to do it more now. I'm going to Call you randomly. Hey, buddy. Just saying hi. Well, Rich, I appreciate the listeners. How you doing? I appreciate the listeners who are like Rich, because we have dozens of callers to the show every day, and if there weren't outgoing people who still use their phone to make calls, we wouldn't have the interaction. Yeah, but that's getting involved. We're having roundtable discussions. No, no, but the Barbershop, we need people chiming in. They're not always gonna agree with what we're saying, so we give them a platform. And we appreciate that, but, Kov, there's some listeners who will not pick up their phone for any reason because they just don't make phone calls. I think it's intimidating. I think that's part of the reason. There's two types of people I hate. I'm on the radio every day. I get. I get the nervous farts. If I have to call in another radio show, I'm like, no, I'm good. I don't want to do that. There's two types of people, and you could say, hey, maybe I'm the annoying one. I see a phone number, call me. I don't recognize it. I'm like, oh, who could this be? Hello? You call them back, other people will be like, I don't see. I don't recognize this number. Oh, send it to voicemail. I'm always like, yeah, what's up? Hello? I'm hoping it's someone good. Now I know for a fact there's something to be said about what you're saying. I'm the rarity. You could say, oh, Rich Davis, most annoying guy in the world. I'll take it. There's also something refreshing of speaking to someone every once in a while. I'm not saying that. While I'll accept the fact that I am annoying, Danny brings up a great point. We're on Fox Sports Radio. We're on over 300 radio stations. When we fill in for dan Patrick, over 600, we're adding affiliates all the time. When I came up in radio before texting was a thing, before smartphones were a thing, sports radio, pop radio, rock radio. The request lines would be lit up like a freaking Christmas tree. Can I request a song? Can I hear Taylor Swift? Can I do this? Or, like, yeah, I want to. I want to weigh in on the Lakers, people now. Social media, Twitter, Facebook, texting. People have text numbers on shows. We have 141 2, CNR show. We use it on our Patreon and podcast the Letter CNRShow. So the reality is, people will do everything in their power now to not call unless you're giving them something. Because the minute we say we're giving away a prize, you can give away a matchbook, and the phones will be lit. People just like free stuff. But to get someone to go out of their way, to call someone, it's a different world. It really is. Kadeem, is it Hardison or Harrison? Kadeem. Hardison. Hardison style. Hey, let me ask this based on. Different word, based on the. Based on the Cam Ward story. He only talks to his parents, his teammates, and his dog. You think his dog understands what he's saying? No, I'm just kidding. No, no, no, I'm joking. I'm joking. How often do you have to call your parents? I call at least every other day. I call them once a day, but not. And they're so sick of me, they don't even answer all the time. But I don't call my parents. If I do call them every day, which is sometimes it's not like a long conversation like, hi, mom and dad, or how does everybody without a parent say, hey, dude, appreciate them, even if they're annoying while they're here, because it's so tough when they're gone. I call my parents and every day, and I'm shocked, shocked to hear how distant some people are with their parents. I'm like, give them a ring. They're old. But I don't. I don't. I don't do it to actually talk. Sometimes. Sometimes it's a simple, like, hey, Mom. Hey, Richie. You good? You have an okay day, all right? Just saying hi, just checking in. I love you. Bye. It could be a 22nd phone call just to be to, hey, Mom. You got to give your parents an opportunity to dump on your other siblings because they're dying to vent. Oh, and then you start thinking, oh, my God, what do they say about me? Because if every conversation is about. Can you believe your brother or sister did this? I want to hear what an a hole my brother is, and I want to let my parents have the opportunity to tell me, hey, Sam, how often do you. Do you call the folks? Well, I'm in a text chat with them, like, every day. Same. Yeah. So talking is maybe like once a week. Once every two weeks. So a call. The actual calls, like, once a week? Yeah, it's usually FaceTime, so I can see them. I think it should be a little more than that, but at least, hey, dude, it's way better than most. We communicate, like, every single day. There's just me, my sister, my brother in law, my parents. Yeah, that's really nice, man. And like I said, I think pictures chat to me. Do you cross the line with inappropriate memes? No. Whatever's the topic du jour. You know, to me this shows great focus. I'm impressed by Cam Ward's discipline. Discipline to not have to, I don't know, distract himself with nonsense when he has a big football season ahead of him. Hey, Steve. Mates, parents and his dog. I like it. This is what your dad says when he sees a call coming. Steve. No, they all can. Yeah, they all run away from the phone. I could feel it. You answer it. No, you answer it. And by the way, it doesn't say anything about love interest or wife or girlfriend. So do you subscribe to the Mickey from Rocky sort of theory here? Makes him weak in the knees. Stay away and focus. Or what? What if he's. What if he's in that category of asexual? It doesn't say his girlfriend or booty call. Says nothing about ladies at all. So again, extreme focus. Have you guys seen the Jim Jeffries new stand up special on Netflix? No. He does a really funny bit about the lgbtqa, the whole community. He's like, how did a get in there? A means you're asexual. He goes, shouldn't they be linked with married men? That's funny. So it says nothing about that because they make you weak in the knees. Rock. The Internet says Cam Ward is currently dating Nyla Landon. Yeah, but he don't talk to her during the season. I like it. As we all Google, she's the only baby. As we all Google image her while we go to break and we come back and play a game. Here's the deal. Yeah, we need the phones. Let's get the phones going. See, this is where you will call when there's a prize up for grabs. You greedy sons of. No. If you want in, we're going to play. Last one standing. We're going to give away a Kavino and Rich Nerf football for the football season. We have some sweet giveaways. Iou. Nerf footballs. Yeah.

I want to tell you about my new fiction podcast. That's One Small Step for Man. It's about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of space. You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far as I'm concerned, the best I've seen. That's the story you think you know. This is the story you don't predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide. We'll see Buzz try to overcome demons. What do you say, Buzz? Another beer. And triumph over addiction. Here's to you, Buzz Aldrin. Good luck to you and become a true hero. Buzz and I will proceed into the lunar module not because he conquers space, but because he conquers himself. Buzz, we intercepted a Soviet radio transmission starring me, John Lithgow.

In the newsrooms where I worked, I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United. Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is gonna push back on that colorism. All of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino cult. Hear from people like Congresswoman Aoc. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the Mike Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know, right?

I'm Will Lucas, spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable. Just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us.

You have five seconds to battle for your sports trivia life, man. Ah, I got it. Yeah, I don't got it. Put your electronic devices down and pick your sports knowledge. It's CNR's last one standing. Last one standing. All right, I have four categories ready to go. If needed, a tiebreaker. Each contestant gets five seconds to stay alive in the round. If you run out of time or you answer incorrectly, Iowa, Sam will take you out with his big bad buzzer. Don't want to hear that. We keep battling until you are the last one standing. If you win two of the rounds, you are the top dog. Here's the contestants. Nine time winner, Steve Cavino. Right over there to his 13 time winner, Rich Davis. In for 30 time winner, Dan Beyer. Big shoes to fill. One time winner, Isaac Loincron. Loenkron can't close his effing mouth. Whoa. And we're gonna go to the studio lines right now to see who's playing for a CNR nerf football iou. All right. Ilo I'll use you for this. Would you love to travel to beautiful Peoria, Illinois? Peoria, Owassa, Oklahoma. Locust Grove, Georgia. Wow. Idaho Falls, Idaho. Boise, Idaho or Phoenix, Arizona, I think another honor of Covino's connection to the metropolis. Boise, Idaho. And I'm a good Boise, as my mom always said. What a good Boise. All right. That's Nick. Hey, Nick. Hi, Nick. Hey, guys. Hey, Nick. What do you do? So you're telling me there's a chance? Yeah, exactly. And really quick. What do you do for living there in Idaho? Something with potatoes. I actually work in sports trading cards. Oh, sweet. Sweet. With that being said, I was wondering when I win my football, if I can get it signed by you guys. No doubt. Yeah. If I can get a Jose Canseco. It'll decrease the value. All right. Spots. A fact checker during this game. It's the worst. A lot of anxiety, so be patient with them. When I say your name, the clock is going to begin. Here's the first category. Dust off your memory. You have five seconds to name one of the top 20 leaders in NFL rushing yards last season. Oh, Jesus. Top 20 leader in NFL rushing yards last season. Time to turn on your football brain. Come on. My brain is off. Think of the top running backs. Camino, you're first. As soon as the clock goes right now, go. Bam. Saquon. All right, number one, 2005. Easiest back to remember. Rich. Kyron Williams. Kyron Williams. Yes. Had 1299. At number seven, Isaac. Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry. Number two with 1921, Nick. James Cook. James Cook. Number 16. Wrote that down. This is just running backs, by the way. Yes. Not other players. Top 20 leaders. Why would you say that? You're not even playing. I'm thinking of a couple quarterbacks. I don't even play it. What are you doing? I'm just giving hints. Connor Covino. Connor What? Connor James Connor. Yeah. Yes. 1094 at a number 11. Rich. You're damn lucky it got back to me because I had Lamar Jackson in the 10. I'll go. Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson at number 20 with 915. Thanks, Iowa. Ilo. Did somebody say Bijan Robinson yet? They did not. You just did. Number three. 1456. Does that count? Because it's Bijan. It is Bijan. That is true. That's true. Nick Demir. Gibb. Yes. Number five with 1412. Covino. Three, two, one. Out of there. Sorry. Any more hints? Sam? Rich, let's go. Three, two, one. Damn. Out of there. Wow. Isaac. I got nothing. Really? That means Nick is the last one standing. I suck. Hey, Nick. For fun. Who else do you have in your holster? Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs? Yeah. He would have been number six with 1329. All right. Nick is halfway to a CNR prize. I have another one. I have a name. How about Josh Allen? Josh Allen. Not on the list. Jonathan Taylor. Quarterbacks in Russian. Maybe not. Shuba Hubbard. Chuba Hubbub. Sorry. Chuba. Sorry. At 1195. And Aaron Jones at 9 with 1138. Sorry. There you go. All right. That was a good one. Bucky Irving, rounding off the top 10. Nick. Nick. On the board. As we move to the second category, Magic streaks. You have five seconds to name an MLB team who holds one of the longest winning streaks of all time. All right, this goes back to 1894. There's 10 teams you'll know the names of. Okay, 10 teams here, starting with Nick and Boise. Nick, you're up first as soon as the clock starts. Right now. Yankees. Yankees. Number six with 19. Yes. Isaac? I'm sorry. I'm honestly, I'm researching something that we have. But what was the question again? Okay. It's okay. Sorry. Name an MLB team who holds one of the longest winning streaks of all time. 10 teams you'll know the names of. I'm just gonna guess and say. Milwaukee brewers. You just had 14. The brewers. Their record is 16. Boom. And they're on the list. They're on the list. They're on the list. Yes. Rich? The Colorado Rockies. The Colorado Rockies are not on the list. Oh, sorry. Oh, did it. Oh, I thought. Remember, they made that? Really? Remember the year they lost to the Red Sox in the World Series? They won, like, 20 something of the last 25. I guess I'm wrong. Covino. I'm just going. Detroit Tigers. Tigers. Not a list. All right. I'm just thinking old franchises. I don't know, Nick. Red Sox. Red Sox. Not on the list. Oh, that means Isaac is the last one standing. Yeah, it was the A's in 2002. A's? Yes. Oh, yeah. Let's see. You missed the Giants. Either of New York or San Francisco. The Cubs, Cardinals, Orioles, White Sox, Reds. In there. No, I mean, it's so arbitrary. Like, you have to remember. By the way, did you see. Do you hear that noise in the middle of the game? The arm of my chair. If you're watching on YouTube, the arm of my chair fell off. All right, so Nick and Isaac are on the board. As we move to the third category. We got no food. We got no jobs. Our chairs arms are falling off. I hate the skateboard. Stop it, please. The third category. That's what happens when Rich sits on the arm for no reason. Money ain't everything. You have five seconds to name an MLB team who was bottom 15 this season in payroll. All right, Covino, you're gonna be up first, starting right now. The Athletics. The athletics at number 29 with 77 million. Rich. The Marlins. The Marlins. Bottom of the list with 66 million. Isaac. Tampa Bay Rays. Rays, 26. 87 million. Nick. Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks. Not on the list. Oh, sorry, Brother Covina. The Rockies. Rockies. Number 21 with 121 million. Rich. The White Sox. The White Sox. Number 28 with 77 million. Isaac. Pittsburgh. Pirates. The Pirates, number 27 with 82 million. Back to Covino. Three, two. Did you say Diamondbacks? Yeah, someone did. Royals. Royals just snuck it in there at 18 with 134 million. At the wire, Rich. The Washington Nationals. The Nationals number 24 with 109 million. Isaac. Minnesota Twins. The Twins number 20 with 125 million. Covino. The Reds. The Reds number 22 with 119 million. Rich. Did someone say the brewers or. No. No, they did not. No. Brewers. Brewers. Number 23 with 113 million. Isaac. Has anyone said the Orioles? They have no orioles. Orioles, number 17 with 153 million. Oh, what a battle. Covino, three. The angels. Angels, nonetheless. Wow. All right, between Rich and Isaac. Rich, three, two, one. The Mariners not on the list. Damn it. Isaac's the last one standing. That is his second victory in this game. Congrats, Isaac. I didn't have any left. So the three you missed, the Cardinals. Okay. The Guardians make sense, but the Cardinals usually spend. So the top of the bottom were the Tigers with 156 million. Okay, that makes sense at first. Isaac gets free lunch from Rich all week. And now he gets a W in last one standing. And Nick playing the lottery tonight. Nick and Boise, thank you for playing the game with us. We appreciate it. You. Hey, thanks. I got one more. One dumb and dumber thing to say, if that's all right. Sure. Not everybody realizes this, but if Lloyd and Mary would have ended up together, her name would have been Merry Christmas. I did say that in the air once. Wow. Thank you. Thank you, man. Why are you trying to steal Nick's thunder? I do happy and proud of that. Just when I thought Nick couldn't get any worse, he goes and says that and totally redeems himself. Sam did the equivalent of when you send someone a. A meme or video and they're like, I've already seen. Seen. Just go along. I love the Merry Christmas observation moment. Thank you, Nick. And thank you for everybody. I believe they listen on 99.9 out there in Idaho. Always have a great time out there. Thank you, buddy. Nick, if you're still listening, I'm going to come and buy a custom Jared Zabranski cards on former quarterback of the Boise State Broncos. Dutch Bros On Sam, next time he sees you on three. Now, we have lots of other stuff to get to. We're going to talk about forcing things if we have time. But first, an update from the championship. Isaac Loewencruff. Oh, hey, champ. Shout out to you guys. And shout out to fox Sports Boise 99.9 with the following Headlines the Cleveland Browns have named Joe Flacco their starting quarterback. Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford practiced today for the first time since the start of training camp as he recovers from a back injury. Green Bay packers quarterback Jordan Love returned to practice today six days after undergoing surgery on his left thumb which is on his non throwing hand. NFL media reported that the Miami Dolphins are signing veteran pass rusher Matthew Judon to a one year deal. They also reported Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson will not play in tonight's preseason game against the Bengals by mutual decision raising the possibility of him being traded or released. Now, finally, here's what I was frantically researching. Can I guess moments ago? Yeah, go ahead. Did Cam Ward call you as his third friend, his parents, his dog and Isaac? No. Might be even more juicy than that. Has anybody around here ever heard of someone named Madison Beer? Yeah, of course. She's hot. Okay, well, the London Daily Mail a short time ago, she's like super hot. She was at Zootopia. I'm sorry, Jingle Ball. The I Heart Big Festival. She's like a very attractive young artist. Having seen what I'm about to tell you, I would confirm that wholeheartedly. The London Daily Mail published pictures of Beer yesterday in Los Angeles on the set of her new music video. Among the pictures, one was captioned by the London Daily Mail, quote, beer was all smiles as she chatted away with a male companion on the set of the music video. People on social media who looked at the pictures realized that the male companion was none other than Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Yo. Sparking rumors and speculation that they might be dating. Social media sleuths even going to the extreme to find that Beer follows the wife of Chargers placekicker Cameron Dicker on Instagram, which they claim is evidence of a potential love connection between Beer and Herbert. Of course, no official confirmation that they are seeing each other as of yet. Back to you guys. Spot just showed the pictures on the fox Sports Radio YouTube feed, so that's another reason to be watching. And by the way, if the. What the. Whatever the over under was. My guess, when you said quarterback on the West Coast, I was like Jimmy Garoppolo. Had to be. I thought. I thought like Garoppolo would be doing it. No, Herbert's been linked to some other hotties too, so. Good for him. Good for him. All right. Hey, more Covino and Rich. We'll get into a little NFL before we get out of here today, so hang tight. More Fox Sports Radio next. Hello, I'm John Lithgow. We choose to go to the moon. I want to tell you about my new fiction pot. That's one small step for man. It's about Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of space. You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far as I'm concerned, the best I've seen. That's the story you think you know. This is the story you don't predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse and suicide. We'll see Buzz try to overcome demons. What do you say, Buzz? Another beer. And triumph over addiction. Who see you. You, Buzz Aldrin. Good luck to you and become a true hero. Buzz and I will proceed into the lunar module not because he conquers space, but because he conquers himself. Buzz. We intercepted a Soviet radio transmission starring me, John Lithgow. Can you put it through? Can you Translate on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Columbia When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina. In the newsrooms where I worked, I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and Cultura. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all us of of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is going to push back on that colorism, all of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman Aoc. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the Mike Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We all know, right? Genius is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. It's Black Business Month and black tech green money is tapping in. I'm Will Luke. You're spotlighting black founders, investors and innovators. Building the future one idea at a time. Let's talk legacy. Legacy, tech and generational wealth. I don't think any person of any gender, race, ethnicity should alter who they are, especially on an intellectual level or a talent level, to make someone else feel comfortable just because they are the majority in this situation and they need employment. So for me, I'm always going to be honest in saying that we need to be unapologetically ourselves. If that makes me a vocal CEO and people consider that rocking the boat, so be it. To hear this and more on the power of Black innovation and ownership, listen to Black Tech Green money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacy Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the challenges of being a Black Founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

I'm only teasing, bro. I don't care. We all know you don't pay attention. Thank you. Yeah, I think what I want to do later this week, Danny, you know how everyone else on God's green earth is like, let's do predictions of who's gonna be, who's gonna win the super bowl and who's gonna be mvp. We'll do that like everyone else on the little chart. We do that the week. Yeah. Of the first game. We'll do that like everyone else just to put it down on the Fox Sports Radio chart in the studio. But I feel like I want to. I'm going to go home tonight, do a little homework. I want to make a list of, like, odd predictions and see if we agree on them or not. Like, I'm looking at the Miami Dolphins quarterback situation, for instance. Do you think Zach Wilson and Quinn yours will both take snaps this year or do you think Tua stays healthy? Like, I want to. I want to dive into some more, like, random predictions. Like, I think there's a lot of people saying good things about yours out of camp and saying like, yo, if two goes down, maybe they go in a different direction. If two can't stay healthy, they have some options there. So. And, and who knows? Is Mike McDaniel the first guy on the hot seat if the Dolphins don't do well? So there's a lot of random. I think I want to get into the more random predictions. Rob Parker's hot seat or. Yeah, anyway, let's do that tomorrow. Running out of time. I didn't know if we should talk about Asia Wilson's wild quote. Maybe we could talk about that tomorrow. But I'll give you the quote. When they talked about letting the game come to her or not. She says it's like forcing a force fart. All you get is S. Again, you can't force. That was Asia Wilson's wild quote about forcing her game on the court. It's like forcing a fart. All you get is S. And before we go, there's another viral story. Rich, what do they always say? I was taught never trust a big butt and a smile. Never trust a fart. And I've. Never trust a fart and never trust when something's free. And I was always told never trust Rich Davis around your girlfriend. I don't know if that's. Yeah, I was told that when I met him. That's a good one. There was something called the McWeener that went viral and I just wanted to bring that up. Like, what's your coolest discovery? Like, remember we had a Cheeto shaped like a crucifix? Like the. Oh, we called it Cheesus. We called it Cheesus. Someone discovered what they're calling the McWeener and I don't you know how you dared Loewenkron earlier today. I dare you to eat the McWiener. Rich, someone found this in their. In their McDonald's. Oh my goodness, the comments are so funny. Yeah, as they say, I'm here for the comments which we can't read most of them on Fox sports radio, but we'll. We'll post the link on our Instagram story at Covinon. Rich, you ever find it made out of. It looks like a big chicken tender but it's. It looks like someone honestly accidentally. It looks like someone accidentally deep fried junk. It looks like someone. Oh, you know what they throw in the WNBA courts. Looks like someone deep fried one Sam, it's deep fried. So we've all seen the toast that looks like Jesus or the Virgin Mary. You know, in the toast, the McQueen is the latest race age and it'll end up on ebay soon. Perfect. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
