I got two quick things before we get to AFC north football and some thoughts as we get into Week 5 of the NFL. I have a Halloween question and have a baseball question. Halloween first, what do you think the top four selling candies are that people give away to kids. What do you think the top four selling Halloween candies are? I read recently that the top selling product at Walmart is bananas. You believe that? Did you read that? Did you see that? No, I didn't see that but I Bananas like the top seller in all products clientele. I'm sure it's not. I thought it was lard. Rich thought it was Mountain Dew. It's not Mountain Dew and lard. Sorry Rich. Every year we see that M M's is the top of these lists. Old school Regular M&M's number three. Number three on the top four Sour Patch Kids. They are not. They are the top selling. They're the top selling non chocolate. Oh wait, wait, you didn't say non chocolate versus chocolate. No, no. But they are not in the top four. But I'm saying I definitely know a top three. Okay, what else? It should be 100 grand because it's one of my favorites that appear every Halloween. Yeah, but it's definitely Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. That is your number one selling candy. So it's all. It's all chocolate. So number one is Reese's Peanut Butter. Or some people say in other parts of the country, Reese's. I was just gonna say, if you say Reese's Reese's Pieces, you deserve a kick in the nerds. You get a. Deserve a kick in the nose if you say Reese's Pieces. Like, what's a Pieces? That's what I just said. So. All right, two more in the top four. You're essentially your final four. Number one, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Number three, regular M&Ms. It's got to be like either Milky Way or Snickers. No, they are not in the top four. Oh, kinder bueno. I'm sorry, what? I'd never had a Kinder bueno until I moved out here. Kinder bueno. Kinder bueno is like a. Like a Twix bar. Yeah, Twix bar. Or like kitty cat bar combo. I like the little kinder eggs. You get a little pride. I know about these until moved out here. My kids love those little kids. A little toy. What are you gonna say next? Taborone? Let's see. All right, so we got Reese's. What else? Eminem's. Eminem straight mini, Hershey's chocolate bar. Do Eminem peanuts up. Peanut M and Ms. Are number two. Okay. Peanut M and Ms. Are number two. So you're missing number four. My kids are always looking for the Sour Patch packages every Halloween. Yeah, I was. Sam just said that. Oh, he did? Okay, the sour watermelons count. I was answering the studio. Oh, does it go back to analytics nerds? No. Has to be chocolate. Has to be chocolate not to waste time. You said it. Sort of. Sam. Kit Kats. They're the best Kit Kats. It's always weird how certain ones make cameos during Halloween time, like Mr. Good Barn Crackle. Also, certain candies are better when they're the mini size. Right. You don't want the whole Kit Kat bar unless you're a. Being said, don't be a big slob starting now, because you're going to see all this on. On Tammy from accounting's desk. She's gonna have a whole bowl there, and you're gonna want to eat them every day. Oh, non diabetes, non chocolate. What are your favorite Sour Patch Kids. And maybe like Starburst. Yeah, I like Jolly Ranchers. You know? You know the Starburst for Halloween come in like. It's like two in a little sleeve. Yeah. If you get a pink and a red, that's like hitting. That's like hitting a walk. That's like hitting a walk off. If you get two pinks, too, or two reds. If you get two yellows, that's like striking out like the Yankees did last night. That's like a 27 off suit right there. What if you grab a handful and you get like a banana Laffy Taffy and a yellow? Oh, that's like. That's like starting a Ben Rosario over Ben Rice. Yeah. It's like, here's a guarantee, an observation. You're gonna notice this hu. Halloween season, it's always the yellow candy that's left over, guaranteed. Later this month, we'll do our Halloween candy draft. Remember Clay? Clay Travis joined us last year. That's right. All right. Can't wait. Can't wait. That being said, enjoy the season. One more season. Postseason. And rest in peace. Jane Goodall, who passed away. Yeah. I had one hell of a life. She had. I had one baseball question because I said your boy Chappie, who seems to own the Yankees. Yeah. Holds the record for the fastest pitch ever thrown. 105.8 miles an hour. Now I think of Chapman, and I think I remember where he started playing, his career. I remember him being a Yankee because Kavino hated and loved him at the same time. Now he owns the Yankees as a Red Sox. So besides the Red Sox and Yankees, can you name the other teams he's played for? Because I thought of a Cubs, and one's really easy. I'm. I'm missing the Cubs is easy. All right, so you're Cubs. When he won the world, he won the World Series of the Cubbies. Yeah. Can you think of who else he played for? Danny, when I say Chapman, who do you think of? Oh, Yankees. Of course. He was there. Yeah. I don't. Yeah, I don't. Think of the other one that came to mind. Should I say it? The Royals. That comes. See, you thought of the Royals. I did not. I was thinking of where he played his first, like, five or six season. The Reds. So started with the Reds, then Yankees was a rental for the Cubs. Went back to the Yankees, Royals. Now he's a Red Sox, but there are two teams in between one I don't even know you would ever even picture or Aldous Chapman wearing these colors. Did he play for the Cubs? Yes, he did. Okay. Danny, are you worried? Are you, like, on another planet? Wasn't there some Controversy? No, I was. Oh, because you were thinking, he's got some candy corn stuck. No, but I just put Gus from the Bay Area on hold right now. I was going to say, like, Danny's on a four minute delay. Wasn't there some controversy when he was pitching for the Cubs that, like, he had, the way he was pitching, like, could have cost them, like, the game or like, remember. I know he had some off field stuff too, but I'm talking about there was like something when he was with the Cubs that they could have blown it. I might be misremembering. Well, okay, how about this, Rich? Did anyone say Texas? They did not. And that was the one I forgot. I forgot that he won a World Series with the Texas Rangers. He was on that squad. But the one that I couldn't think of. Covino couldn't think of. Bree was in the editing room. None of us remember Araldes Chappie Chapman playing for the Pirates a year ago. Yeah, I don't know who would remember that. No, I can't even picture him in the. In the yellow and black. The black and yellow. So anyway, he's been the difference maker so far, but we'll see what happens today. By the way, I don't want to rub it in this game. Two starts in like a minute so you could have redemption. But when you had the bases loaded, no outs, you had to be positively thinking, like, all right, come on, base hit, and we got this. You thought they were going to at least, you know, put one. Or you had to figure something was going to happen. Nothing happened like, bases loaded, no outs, in the bottom of the ninth at home, Yankee Stadium, the tradition, like, in my mind, I'm like, wow, what an opportunity. For what? Base hit ties it. And then if they get a base hit, then it's still like first and second, no outs. The fact that three Yankees, two strikeouts and a pop up, I don't know, man. That was. Yeah, it was horrible. That it really was. That's why we're talking about it. Believe me, as a Yankees fan, I know that the national audience of Fox Sports Radio doesn't give a terrible Terry Funk about the Yankees. In fact, they're rooting against them. But it was such a big deal. Care about the postseason. Yeah, it was a big story. It was a colossal failure last night. It never happened before. They had a tremendous opportunity to at least tie the game last night. Is Rodone the first Yankee to ever rock a beard in the postseason? I would say there's a good chance of that. Yeah. On the mound, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. So. Well, hey, Red Sox, Yankees about to get underway. We'll see what happens with Bellow, though, because Jazz Chisholm has a statement to make tonight. He does well against him, and he'll prove that he should have been in the lineup last night. Hopefully tonight. Let's say how to Gus in the Bay Area. What's up, Gus? Hey, guys. Love the show. Thank you. Gave a Dewey Finn quote to start your show. That was incredible. I just want to give some flowers to Araldis Chapman. We. You talked yesterday about longevity and athletes, and this guy's been throwing triple digits for 15 straight seasons. Yeah, I mean, it's. When you. When you look at his baseball reference, it is pretty impressive because there were times where you thought, all right, it's coming to an end. He's doing something right. And his ERA this year is in the one. So it's like, sometimes you think, like, oh, maybe his best days are behind him because he's a veteran now, but he's. He's pitching lights out. He is in tremendous shape. The dude is jacked like John Carlos Stanton jacked. Chapman is jacked. And usually guys that lift that heavy and stay that chiseled get hurt a lot. And he's been able to figure out a way where he's still dominant and still a major factor for the team. So, yeah, props to him. I just don't like him. If you remember, he left the Yankees hanging in the postseason, was a no show with Boone. He had some issues, so I didn't like him with his tenure with the Yankees. But he's had a great career. No doubt. Let's say hi to Paul in Rhode Island. Hey, Paul. Hey, what's up, Paul? Hey, guys. You forgot about me the last three days, but it's okay. It's a time zone. It's fine. What's up, buddy? I love your show. I do love your show. After I babysit my grandkids. Thank you. Listen, listen. I'm gonna go with the Yankees again with the World Series. Yeah. And as a Red Sox fan, we go, we got one taken away. That's fine. But I love your producer. I love your show, but I'm gonna tell you. It's the money. It's the money. I'm gonna tell you. Money talks and the rest walks. I mean, that's a general rule in life. But what are you referencing? What I'm referencing if. If we get lucky with the Yankees again in the World Series, they have to do it. Yeah. I Mean, listen, if the Yankees find a way to win today, I think the American League is wide open. You just don't want an early exit. You don't want to get beat two games by your division and historic rivals at Yankee Stadium. I believe it was Sean Casey I heard on Dan Patrick this morning. Even from his perspective, he was saying he thinks the Yankees are going to pull away with the Series despite what happened yesterday. Just the way the matchups go moving forward and what they're capable of. But we'll see. The game has started now. And let's go. And now we're going to talk some NFL and a team time. Keep you posted on Yankees, Red Sox. Now my thoughts on Aaron Rodgers and the AFC North. I think it's funny how so much changes in such a short period of time. Now, before I give you my words of wisdom, I think we could sneak in a little prize here for everyone listening to Fox Sports Radio. It is Wednesday and we're running late. I don't want to forget Mike's words of wisdom. So here's what we're going to do. We're not going anywhere. We're going to play Mike's words of Wisdom right now. Then if you could repeat what Mike says word for word, you win that Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio football, and we'll go back to talking about NFL. So you want to just throw on some Mike's words of wisdom? Let's do it. We do it every Wednesday. We try to spread some knowledge with our good pal Mike who runs this place. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. Thanks for the clarification, Danbire. All right, Mike's words of wisdom. Let it breathe. And here we go. If at first you don't succeed, perhaps skydiving is not for you. All right. So easy breezy, beautiful. That's a nice Halloween treat for you. If you could repeat that verbatim, you win a CNR on FSR nerf football. And they're new and improved. So if you've won in the past, they're different this season. So 87799 on Fox to play 87799 on Fox. We don't even need to replay it because I think that was an easy one and a good one. All right. And while we Take the phone calls. Aaron Rodgers. Not Aaron Judge. Aaron Rodgers. Is he the king of the AFC North? That's what Rich is saying. I mean, it's really interesting when you think about where we started this year. Right. And again, it just shows that in every sport, NFL, Major League Baseball, NBA, NHL, hot dog eating. I mean, hot dog eating is really the only predictable sport because Joey Chestnuts just, you know, besides him, you never know. The fact that right now the Ravens are one in three and Lamar's banged up at least till maybe after that bye week. If they could escape at 2 and 4 and then have to go on a pretty sweet run. No. 1. But is that a legit. What do you think their record will be at that point, you think? Well, if you look at the Ravens, they got, I believe, two games and then the buy. Okay. The two games the Ravens have coming up. Not easy. Let me. Let me take a quick little peek at the Ravens schedule coming up. The Ravens. The Ravens schedule watching. Yeah. Are we schedule watching? Sam the Rich loves to look at the schedule. Game. Schedule watching. Yeah. They play on Sunday against the Texans. Texans are 1 and 3. The games in Baltimore, if you just pound the ball with Derek Henry and hope to try to sneak away with a win. 2 and 3. 2 and 3. Then you play the Rams. I don't think you beat the Rams without Lamar Jackson. 4. Then you got to buy. And then after your buy, you come back against the Bears. Who. Who knows how the Bears are going to look over the next couple weeks. So you need to at least split the next two to even be in the conversation. So when you talk about the AFC north and where we were, I think they could be three and four months ago, the Bengals started out hot and everyone said, yeah, this is the year. And then poor Joey Burrow and his turf toe out for at least three months. I call that a pobrecito poor to pobrecito. Monty knows what I'm talking about. Monty, do you feel bad for Joe Burrows? Pobrecito, I'm so sorry. That was so funny. That was so freaking funny. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. I'll be here all week. Thank you. Okay, I gotta go of Joe Burrow keeps about three months. So the Bengals went from. This is it. How many people wrote down Joe Burrow as their MVP pick on the Fox Sports radio in studio sheet we have, right? I mean a few of our co workers. A lot of people say that ain't happening now. A lot of people said now everyone's comparing him To Andrew Luck, it sounds like Burrow not happening. Bengals, I mean, they both got trash banged up since he got, you know, taken out. Yeah, I'm hoping for the best just for the sake of good football in his career. Lamar not from Revenge of the Nerds. No, no nerds. Lamar Jackson, hamstring injury means Cooper Rush is taken over. By the way, you know Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds was also in Cobra Kai in the original Karate Kid in the actual movie. Really? Yeah. Lamar from the Revenge of the Nerds who threw the javelin. Yes. Was also in Cobra Kai. I mean, how cool. He's almost as cool in the All Valley Karate champion back in 84. He's almost as cool as the actor. I never know his name. Who played Francis in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Who is also the guy that said, look, it's Enrico Palazzo who is also Chubbs, who's also Chubbs and Teen Wolf. Yeah, that guy. He might be the coolest. Yeah. So anyway, Lamar Jackson out for weeks. Cooper Rush taken over. No one ever, ever thought that they would, they would drop all these close games. Right. They lost to the Chiefs Lions at a tough early schedule, but lost all those games. I'm sorry, I just got in your ear and said Mark Holton, who's. He's the guy who played. He was also John Wayne Gacy in the movie. Gacy. Oh, man, that's an actor right there. Yeah, he was. He was in Peewee's the Browns. The Browns are trash. They bench Flacco for Dylan Gabriel. They're still trying to figure it out. Shador Sanders is like being all silly and doesn't know what's going on there. He went full mime. That was so good. So, I mean, that division, who we thought was like, this is the division. All of a sudden it looks like cheeks. And there's Aaron Rodgers, as Colin Cowherd likes to point out, very unproductive in the big picture of quarterbacks, like his QB rating and you know where he assesses amongst the NFL quarterbacks. Not very. That doesn't matter though, because they're off to a 3 and 1 start and now they're sitting on a buy. They come back and they are in firm control of the NFC North. Nice. And it just shows you that everyone's like Aaron Rodgers. Oh, come on. They got Burrow and Lamar and you know Cleveland's going to try to make some noise, yo. Yeah, but do they really size up with the better teams or is it just a matter of these other teams in the North Winning, man, when someone's winning, I don't. You know. And you can also say the Steelers are just a better ran organization than the Jets. Could we talk about where the Steelers go over the next couple weeks? They're on a buy. Then they play the Browns. Okay. They'll be 4 and 1, 4 and 1. Then they play the Bengals without Burrow 5 and 1 1. Then they play the packers and the Colts. Let's say they split those right, five and two. Yeah, but you're the first guy to point out like a week five and one or a week six. Remember you were real hard on the Green Bay packers one year. Yeah, I was. They were 13 and something. Yeah, but they're not that. I was right. I was hard on someone who was a soft Packers. You weren't someone else. But I'm. I do get down on teams that have a. Like they're a soft team. Is that last year? Yeah. The packers went like they did not do well against their own division, but they had a lot of wins. Yeah. I think there's certain teams whose record don't indicate how good or bad they really are. We really won't know. They might be king of the north like you said. It sounds like Game of the Thrones. They might be king of the north over King Joffrey, but how do they size up against other really good teams? I know, but that's really what I'm wondering. But we talked about, hey, Aaron Rodgers, you remember we talked about like what's goal? Oh, maybe if he just makes the playoffs And I think, I think this team is in. I mean with Burrow out you might as well just cancel out the Bengals. The Browns are like I said, cheeks and the Ravens have such a road ahead of them and a really tough schedule and without Lamar, that changes everything. You're putting the ball and the control of the game in the hands of Cooper Rush. No offense. Aaron Rodgers is now the king of the AFC north until you tell me otherwise. And I find it hilarious because no one cares about him or paying attention to him. And I think just secretly that team's going to be pretty good. Now your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers. It's hard to debate that their tops at AFC north shows you with injuries forward it looks like they're going to be that. All it does is show you that with injuries and some mix ups and things here that you never know what's going to happen. I mean your thoughts on that. But we need a winner for Mike's Wednesday. Words of wisdom. Who do we Got Danny G. Let's start in Minnesota with Jay. Hey, Jay. Hey, how's it going, fellas? We're going to let the music establish. You give us Mike Mike's words of wisdom and you win a prize. You ready to do this? I'll play the flute ahead. There we go. Go. If at first you don't succeed, die damping may not be for you. No. Oh, you missed the word, I think, right? That's one of the easier ones. You missed it. But Ben Rice didn't. Aros, baby. AR wouldn't have been cool to have him in the lineup last night. Yankees up 20 in the first inning because Ben Rice, you know, the GU that you left out of lineup yesterday, just hit a bomb. I told you, he's the guy. But hey, nice try. Who do we got next? Danny G. Jason, MD. Yeah. What up, Jay? What's up, fellas? Ready to do this? Words of wisdom, take it away. Yeah. If at first you don't succeed, perhaps skydiving is not for you. There you go. My man. My man just won himself a bribery ball.

We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big take from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold. Oh my. So that was my other big Colts takeaway. Sold that. Yes. Might want to go back to the Colt Stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well for generations. We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him.

Nah, that was give me something good to eat. That's where I stopped. I never knew the rest of that. Jingle bells, Batman smells. Robin laid an egg. Robin laid an egg. I thought it was the Mets laid an egg on the last game of the season. Oh, yeah, they did. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. Now it's time. Yeah. Every Wednesday we get into it. Our boy Spot here who works the videos. Hi, Spot. Hi, guys. Gives you something we call midweek Major Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week with midweek. Major. Major. Ooh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say, that's so mid. We definitely major. C and R scoring mid week major. I gotta go fast because Spotty said he needs like 14 minutes today. He's gonna have to settle for seven, though. All right, we hand things over to the two boys with the two big red love dice. Excuse me, man. Boys, I just rolled a three and now it's a Rich roll. What was that? I win. All right, that means Covino gets first take. Yeah, how is that possible? All right, and now it's like that rare occurrence where, like, you actually beat the dealer in Vegas. All right, two craps. Ladies and gentlemen, the most famous man. There's a more famous woman, Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Spotty boy. Yeah, it's not hard to be more famous. All right, how you guys doing? Who's going first? Me. Kavito. Let's see, where should we start? Oh, you love handsome men. So we'll start with Rob Lowe. Low maybe handsome, but his integrity may be in question. So Reds fans are seeing red after Low was spotted last night at last night's Dodgers game as they dominated the Reds 10 5, seemingly rooting for the Dodgers. And against the Reds on screen, during Tommy Edmonds third inning home run. Lowe was wearing a 2024 World Series champion LA hat. The only problem is Low grew up in Ohio and has given interviews before where he has stated that he is a massive Reds fan, saying that he once even created his own number 8 Joe Morgan shirt and wore that thing everywhere. So Low has been, you know, a Los Angeleno for years. He's been acting for years. Regularly attends Dodgers games. Fans assumed his allegiance lied with the Reds midweek remain. I think he got so much flack for wearing a generic NFL hat that he had to make a choice here, so I can't blame him for that. I thought he was going to wear a Rob Manfred shirt. Yeah. Was he wearing MLB hat this time? Look, he's an Ohio guy, but he's so synonymous with Hollywood at this point. He's been out here for decades. He's been famous since he was a teenager, basically since the Outsiders and probably before that. So I don't blame him for saying, hey, I have some loyalty to the Reds, but I'm a Dodgers guy. I've been out here in LA my whole life and career, so I understand. I'm not mad at it. I think it's a mid story. That's so mid. I think it's mid because if you make a big deal about Rob Lowe's alliance, that's what you. That's so mid. That's mid of you. But it's a good story spot because, you know, we always talk about allegiance on the show. It's very LA of him. And I've had to come to grips with the fact that who's more LA than Rob Lowe? You had your chance. No, I, I, they call it the Brat Pack. I've, I've had. Who is more LA than Rob Lowe? I've had to come to grips with the fact that I think my son Ben, who's 5, likes the Dodgers. No. Yeah, he couldn't. Smart kid. He's an LA kid. We, I, I bought MLB 25 the show for his, for his Nintendo Switch. I was like, you know what? Instead of him on his iPad, I'm like, yo, me and you can play the show together. And he's like, dad, can I be the Dodgers? I'm like, what, you mean the Mets? He's like, no, the Dodgers. I want to be Mookie and Freddy. And I go, do you mean Lindor and Soto? I want to be a winner. So I mean, you know, not Mookie Wilson, Mookie Betts. Hey, you know, you live somewhere long enough, you Adapt. I'm not going to do that, but I get it. Rob Lowe. Does he really care that much anyways, a Hollywood guy? I guess not. He's a sport. He's very passionate. He is a very passionate sport. He's a cool dude. Yeah, he is. He's. He's a. He's a, you know, a man amongst men. Yeah, really is. All right, anyway. Shudder. Sanders. I don't know if you saw this floating around, getting some attention for being a man of no words. So Sanders spoke with the media today and was asked about the Browns decision to bench Joe Flacco in favor of fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel ahead of this Sunday's game. Game across the pond in London. This is what he said exactly. Nothing. He was seen just mouthing the answer on camera, but not saying anything. He was even asked, like, if he could vocally express his feelings, and went on to keep mouthing the words, getting a kick out of himself, laughing the entire time. Clearly he wanted. He thought he should be stepping in as the rookie, not the other guy. But Gabriel did, however, speak, saying that he's excited for the opportunity. And Flacco said that while he never foresaw the move, he acknowledged that the team hasn't been performing very well the first four weeks. Go figure. Midweek or major? It's a major story. Everybody loves talking about Shador Sanders. There's been quarterback controversy since day one surrounding him and this whole team. And what's the old saying, spot? Oh, no, no. If you got nothing nice to say, trick or treat spell like, so I think he took that and had some fun with it. Yeah, I'd rather not say my true feelings, otherwise if he did, he'd probably get more criticism. So he played it safe. I'm okay with it because at least he brought some. Some fun to it. I just feel dumb because I kept clicking my Instagram like, where's the volume? Where's the what? Is my volume off? Maybe I'll. Oh, how do you sound? Oh, he's not talking. Oh, listen, man, it's. It's funny, but you could say like a rookie movie. These kids are young, right? So. But. But why are we surprised Dylan Gabriel was a higher draft pick than Shador Sanders? He just comes with the flash. I think the funny part is he refused to be drafted by the Ravens because he didn't want to back up Lamar Jackson. Had he went with them and didn't refuse it, he'd be starting for the next three weeks. And now he's backing up Gabriel. Yeah, that's that's ironic, don't you think? Yeah, for sure. So I would say major decades major. Just. Just because there's not much else going on in Cleveland and clearly he thinks it should be him. He doesn't need to really express that. We all know it. All right, well, we'll go with LeBron. LeBron getting some backlash yet again. He does it so well this time getting called out by fans for appearing on a live stream with popular streamer Twitch streamer. Kaisen. Is it Sinot, Right? Yeah. After Lakers head coach JJ Redick held James out of practice due to quote, glute nerve irritation. So as the teams head back to practice, Reddit said that it will be a slower process easing LeBron back into the game due to his 22 years of wear and tear on his body. Said they're playing the long game with LeBron. LeBron. So he decided to head over to Sanat's Mafia THON3 and appear on his stream where he shaved Sanat's head. There were other celebrities moving through like Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian. So. So, you know, maybe it would have been a better look if he kind of chilled off camera, but midweek or major? You know, Most things involving LeBron are major, but this is mid. Okay, this feels like. This feels like a mid story. I'm not following. I'll explain. I'll take it. He's right. It's mid. That's so mid. I just think the insinuation that after all the years and hard work and training and conditioning, LeBron James put it puts him. If you think some training with the Lakers at this stage, like, if he's like, yeah, I'm a little out of it. And then ends up on some streamers stream like, yo, are you at this point, are we really questioning LeBron James dedication? Stop being ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, bases loaded, no out for the Red Sox. Rodon just bounced the one hopper to first. And is that Bellinger? That had to come off the bag. I think it was jazz chish chasm. Oh, wow, look at that. That bases juice for the socks. Oh, no, that's major. That's major. I think I'm with you. What's it. He has a little belly ache. What's going on? He's got a glute nerve irritation. Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was an ass issue or a glute irritation is honestly his ass hurts. I think it's butter. So you thought gluten intolerance. Gluten I thought it was a gluten thing. Glute. So he's intolerance. He's got a. A butt problem. He's got a butt problem. So, yeah, he does a little podcast instead of whatever. Well. Hey, Monty, do you have a glute intolerance? I don't. I don't. You're fine. All right. I'm good. All right. How we doing? What's doing? Monsie for an update. As you mentioned, things getting interesting between. Between the Yankees and the Red Sox with Boston getting the bases loaded. They've got all their outs in this third inning even though the Yankees are on the scoreboard. Ben Rice started things off with the two run shots. Remind me, did he play yesterday? Oh, oh, oh, okay. I just. I just. Remind me. I forgot for a. I wasn't trying to burn. Yes, I was. Manny Machado hit a two run shot today and the Padres shut out the Cubs 30 to force a game three. Guardians are forcing a game three against the Tigers. They scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, capped off by a three run shot from Bo Naylor. Cleveland won that game six to one. I believe the Red Sox on the moon. Oh. Still, we're good. Okay. I was like, I think they may have scored. Not yet. Not yet. Okay. NFL News commander's head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Jaden Daniels has been medically cleared to return. He is on track to start against the Chargers. Chargers head coach John Harbaugh announced that Joe Alt, with his high ankle sprain is doubtful to play this week. Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, dealing with an ankle sprain, was seen in a walking boot at practice, but he has not been ruled out for Sunday's game. Browns are benching quarterback Joe Flacco. They're starting rookie Dylan Gabriel, as you mentioned, for Sunday's game in London against the Vikings. By the way, Covino, Joe Flacco is technically the backup. It is not Shador Sanders. Oh, wow. Yes. So he is technically not even moved up yet there. Joe Flacco is still the backup and the 49ers have ruled out everybody. Well, I'm just kidding. Brock Purdy, Juwan Jennings and Ricky Pierce all for Thursday Night Football against the Rams. And Mac Jones will get the start. Yankees did get an out here, so base is still loaded by the Red Sox, but one out, two to go for this inning. Guys, it's been fun. Missed ya. Back to you. Good to see you. Thank you. By the way, Yankees scored none with the bases juice last night. Maybe it's Your turn to shut them down. One out, one one and Trevor Story's up and his career at the bases loaded. Cavino not too shabby. He said some grand salamis in his life. I want to just watch one more pitch to see if something good happen. Oh no. Base it up the middle. That'll tie the game up. Likely to I 1 run 2 scored 2 scored 2 2. Now as we're in the top of the fair. Wonderful. Sorry to say that buddy boy. We got Markavin on Rich and a story about redemption in sports and entertainment and it has to do with 50 Cent.

But I was saying play some 50 Cent because I have a story. Well, he's infamously known to rock the microphone and for having arguably one of the worst pitches first pitches in baseball history for your goofy Mets. He threw out the first pitch at Citi Field and couldn't even really call it a pitch. I mean, other than. Other than Mariah went sideways. Other than Mariah Carey and Baba Bowie and. Yeah, they would. You know, you have your infamous list of. Wasn't there one gymnast once that did like a flip and threw the ball right down into the ground? Like there are some legendary, awful first pitches and 50 cent is synonymous with it. It's sort of like the joke, I'm sure, amongst his boys. But he's such a fit guy, you know, he's 50 Cent. I'm sorry, 50 Cent, you expect him to have some sort of athleticism? No, that's what he gets for being a false advertiser because he's always wearing a Yankees hat. So there he is in your Mets jersey throwing that weak ass pitch. Well, you and I've talked about when is the one time you'd wear another jersey or hat or something? I said if a Team. I gave the example. If they said. If our affiliate in St. Louis said, hey, Kavino, Rich, come throughout the first pitch, I'd throw on a Cardinals hat. Just to go out there and throw the pitch and be like, hey, everyone, like. But I think you would be real gangster if you kept a Mets hat on. Yeah, I think I'd wear a Yankees hat and a Willie McGee jersey. Yeah. But I mean, that. That just makes you look like an ungrateful a hole. Why I'm rocking the McGee then. Then they'd probably be like, no, thanks. You rather not throw out the first pitch? I think that's. Have you ever seen someone throw out the first pitch? Have you ever seen someone throw out the first pitch at your stadium and not wear your shirt? That would be disrespectful. It's like going to someone's house and bring. It's like going to someone. An Italian old lady's house and bringing your own food. All right, well, I'm not trying to debate that. What we're trying to say is it's redemption. He does an appearance with, you guessed it, the Savannah Bananas. He comes out singing in the club and all the Savannah Bananas and dancers are popping bottles of champagne. There has to be a pressure goat moment, I would think, here for him. I think no pressure whatsoever. And I'll tell you why. Because everyone's watching to see if he sucks even worse this time. He's with the Bananas. It's light and fun. He's singing. It's a party. And I think if he throws out a bad first pitch, it's funny because it's like another bad one or redemption. But don't you think he wants to redeem himself? And you know what? He threw out a good enough pitch. Good enough, good enough. Kind of like our show. Yeah, I think the pressure you're talking about, Covina would have been if he was at another MLB stadium fair. Yeah, fair enough. This is a light, fun moment with the bananas. And you know what? It was a little outside. It wasn't like a dead on strike like George W. Bush. No, but it was. It was good enough. He didn't have movement like the queen did in Naked Gun. Yeah, he didn't throw a screwball. But is he lefty? Is that what makes it look weird? He's lefty, right? So he throws it, but he looks like. Let's say you. You're a righty. Oh, wait, wait. City sense, pigeon. Don't put Jazz Chisholm or Ben Rice on the lineup. It looked way Better. It looked Sandy Koufax, like, took him under his wing. Yeah. Gave him some lessons. A big improvement. He looked proud. Give a little fist pump. Like. Yeah. Got that out of the way. As you could see on our video again, Covino and Rich, streaming live on our new YouTube channel. Covino and Rich, FSR. Covino and Rich, Fsr. Well, all right. Look who's up in a key spot with two on, one out as the Yankees and socks are tied. Your old pal Danny G. Cody Bellinger. Was he clutch for you guys in the postseason? He was inconsistent for the Dodgers in postseason play. Wow. Double steal for the Yankees. Double steal. Taking away the double play. Well, enjoy the game. Look, it's a. It's practically a game seven. It's. I don't care about either of these teams, but you could feel the rivalry and the intensity. You really could. Like, I'm glad it's back. Like, honestly, I don't. I don't care for either of the teams, but you can't argue that. It's like the bet. One of the top three rivalries in all sports. Yankees, Red Sox, postseason. It felt like it died down for a minute, and now it's cool to see there's a. There's a little hatred and no love there. So, hey, something fun to watch. We'll see you guys manana. Enjoy your Wednesday. Arriva. Dare she, baby. Let's go, Yankees. See you in the promised land. Later, guys. Hey, this is Matt Jones.
