Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Napkin-Gate: Is Rich a Thief or a Modern-Day Robin Hood?

Segment starts: [02:51]

• The Debate: Steve Covino calls out Rich Davis for his habit of taking excessive amounts of napkins and plastic utensils from Chipotle, prompting a fiery and hilarious ethical debate.
• Rich’s Defense: He justifies this by saying Chipotle is a huge, profitable chain. His "tiny F-you" for high burrito prices involves taking home utensils and napkins ("I spend $80 a week there!").
• Covino’s Counter: Points out the "tragedy of the commons" – if everyone did what Rich does, supplies would need to be locked up like “deodorants at CVS.”
• Danny G & Sam Byer weigh in: Sam thinks plastic utensils aren’t a significant cost and wonders if Rich just has huge stockpiles at home. Danny notes this is “thrifty” but kind of “trashy” behavior, especially since Rich isn't hurting for money.
• Generational Justifications: Covino compares Rich’s actions to “grandmas who steal jelly packets,” suggesting that coming from a place of privilege makes it less forgivable.
• Escalation: The Napkin-Gate spirals into stories about Rich pilfering milk from coffee stations as a single man, with much laughter over "where is the line?"
• Moral Consensus: Most agree it’s a character flaw, with Rich blaming his upbringing and essentially admitting, “It doesn’t make it right, but it’s what I do.”

Notable quotes:

• "You’re stealing from the bottom line. If you’re complaining why burritos are so expensive, stop stealing their utensils."
  – Steve Covino [06:35]
• "Chipotle made $1.3 billion last year. Me from stealing napkins at the Topanga Chipotle?"
  – Rich Davis [06:54]
• "Like, give me a break. Cheapskate behavior is sort of like trashy behavior."
  – Covino [11:01]
• "Now I know why they call him Daddy Stacks—stacks of napkins!"
  – Sam Byer [08:50]
• "Did you ever respect the kid trick or treating where the sign clearly said take one? There’s an appropriate level. What you’re doing is absurd."
  – Covino [08:04]

2. Media Room Mooching & Cheapskate Ethics

Segment starts: [13:34]

• Discussion pivots to media swag (i.e., taking free snacks from media events). Danny G admits to grabbing granola bars, saying, “they know you’re going to take four or five.” Covino draws the line at “an appropriate amount.”
• This becomes the “Cheapskate tip of the day,” with much humor about subsidizing NFL kickoff tailgates with pilfered Chipotle napkins and utensils.

3. New York Giants 2025 Season Preview: Exciting and Bad Beats Mediocre

Segment starts: [16:40]

• NFL Focus: The hosts switch gears to a thoughtful and surprisingly optimistic look at the Giants’ upcoming season in the NFC East.
• Why Watch the Giants?: Even if bad, the Giants are “fun” and "colorful,” loaded with intriguing QB storylines (Jameis Winston, Russell Wilson, Jackson Dart) and vibrant team chemistry.
• Preseason Observations: Noting viral clips of the team’s preseason celebrations, the hosts suggest the team might become a destination for free agents and young talent—even if the win total is minimal.
• Rich's Schedule Watch/Prediction: The crew runs through the Giants’ brutal early schedule (Commanders, Cowboys, Chiefs, Chargers) and lands on a realistic win projection at or just above Vegas’s 5.5 line ([22:23]).
• Fun vs. Mediocrity: They affirm with humor that “exciting and bad beats boring and mediocre any day.”

Notable quotes:

• "Exciting and bad to me is better than mediocre and boring."
  – Rich Davis [18:43]
• "It's worth putting a few bucks on, because I can see them getting six."
  – Danny G [24:07]

4. Audience Interaction & Live Chat

Segment throughout: [14:58] onward

• Audience members hit the show’s YouTube and live chat to roast and support the hosts, especially calling out Rich’s “old lady stealing sugar packets” vibe.

5. “Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player?” Game

Segment starts: [30:08]

• Fun, recurring trivia segment to promote WNBA name recognition: hosts and a caller must guess whether a name belongs to a Chipotle employee or WNBA player. Laughter ensues at Covino’s embarrassing score line. The winner receives (jokingly) “100 Chipotle napkins.”

Notable moment:
"Daddy Stack's got enough napkins at home to throw in every prize pack."
– Steve Covino [36:00]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments with Timestamps

• Steve Covino (on Chipotle supplies):
  “Utensils locked up like deodorants at CVS… because jabroni idiots like Rich are taking them by the handful. No exaggeration.” [06:35]
• Rich Davis:
  “You can’t steal something, by the way, that’s not for sale. It’s not stealing, it’s using your liberty.” [07:51]

No school drop off, no waking your ass up for work. Just to just even if it's 8 or 9am just to sleep in a little extra. That's Rich the thief, the guy who loves to steal. Davis. I'm Steve Cavino. Danny G. Is here super producing. He's our super producer on the phones at 87799 on Fox if you want to call and tell Rich how wrong he is. We got Sam, we got Byer, we got Elijah on the videos.

And thank you for rocking out with us now this hour, action packed Chipotle worker or WNBA player again, our way of familiarizing ourselves with the icons. Our way of giving back and giving away some prizes too. Right? And we're going to talk Chipotle in one second. But we also got weekend hobnobbing this hour. What you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment getting you ready for the weekend. Plus, we'll talk the New York Football Giants. But you know what? New York Football Giants stay in their division just for one second. I know you're going to bust my huevos about this Chipotle thing in a second. But so much I'm almost like, you know, I'm not mad. I'm almost disappointed that you find this okay. But Danny, I know you're going to talk about this in weekend hobnobbin, but the NFC east just has so much intrigue. You got the defending super bowl champions, Washington. Who you thinking, like, where are they going to be this year? You're telling us that this Jerry Jones documentary is insanely good.

[Danny G]

Really good.

[Rich Davis]

So I'm going to watch that this weekend. I'm sure we'll talk about it more. And Terry Jones all over the news. Hobnobbin. Yeah. Jerry Jones sitting down with Stephen A. And then of course, the Giants, who we're going to talk about. So some NFC east coming up in a few. But let's put a little bow on this conversation. Cavino thinks I'm a thief. And he doesn't get. I don't think that's normal behavior. I think that you think that you're above the law because if everybody did what you did, there would be a major problem. You know, if everybody did what you did, there would be utensils locked up like deodorants at cvs. You'd have all your utensils, you'd have all your condiments, you'd have all the things. Rich is stealing napkins behind the counter. There's a reason when you go to Starbucks, all the condiments now are behind the counter. You have to ask for a straw, you have to ask for a lid. Cuz jabroni. Idiots like Rich think they're above the lawn. They're stealing it by the handful. No exaggeration. Here's what's going on. Rich goes to Chipotle and he's like, yeah, it's expensive. Yeah, it's expensive for everybody. You're not any more special than me or anyone else spending money. So he thinks it's okay for him because he looks like an innocent man, because he thinks he's handsome and he can get away with it. He thinks he could take the plastic knives and forks and spoons by the handful. When I say the handful, I'm not exaggerating. He takes like 20, 30 for his whole family for the week every time he goes and he takes stacks. Not like five, ten stacks of napkins. I have proof, photo proof of it. And he thinks it's okay because he's Rich. Davis Chipotle. I got caught doing that. Please. They would have me there and call the authorities. But Rich could do it because he's rich. No, get out of my face with that. The worst stealing is, by the way, you're stealing from the bottom line. If you're complaining why burritos are so expensive, stop stealing their utensils. That's asinine conversation. Bottom line, sailor bought. It's their inventory. And you're given the poor guy that works there extra work every time you go in there because you think you're entitled to steal stuff. I'm prepared to answer all your questions, but we'll make a couple things.

[Steve Covino]

I'm just laughing.

[Rich Davis]

This Is so good. Let me make a couple things very clear. Chipotle made $1.3 billion last year. And they would have made more if you weren't stealing all their inventories. Okay, Me from stealing napkins at the Topanga Chipotle. Me defending Chipotle. I don't care about how much money they made. It's about what's right and what's wrong. I'm defending the principle. Remember the CEO of Chipotle said, hey, if you feel like you're not getting enough meat, give them a little. Like a little more. This is a. Chipotle's doing just fine. They're popping up everywhere again. They're not doing just fine. People complain of shrinkflation because the burritos are smaller. You know why? Because they have to cut corners somewhere. Because they're losing money. Because rich is stealing stacks of those fat ass burritos. And I know you like fat asses. Although let me look at Chipotle stock right now. And by the way, we're good day in the market. By the way. You have no idea. He has barrels at home full of Chipotle utensils.

[Sam Byer]

Cracker barrels.

[Rich Davis]

Cracker barrels. By the way, Chipotle's had a rough month in the market. Probably because of my napkin thievery.

[Steve Covino]

Okay?

[Rich Davis]

And you can't steal something, by the way. That's not for sale. It's not stealing. It's using your liberty.

[Steve Covino]

Okay?

[Rich Davis]

Did you ever respect the kid trick or treating where the sign clearly said take one or take something appropriate? There's an appropriate level. Everyone takes a few extra. Maybe a few napkins for your glove compartment. Maybe a few.

[Sam Byer]

Yeah, when you get a runny nose in the car.

[Rich Davis]

Big deal. That's a problem.

[Sam Byer]

You gotta wipe your mouth down.

[Rich Davis]

What you're doing is absurd. There's a level of appropriate and then there's absurd because you think you're above the law. Did you think the kid that took the entire bowl of Halloween candy was a good guy? You're connecting me to that guy. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Cause you're a grown up jerk.

[Rich Davis]

Because that's what a jerk would do. And you're better than that. Like I said, disappointed. That's stealing. It is stealing. Didn't you tell me that your grandmother used to take every jelly from the diner and every little jelly jackets? Yeah. Yeah. What are you gonna say? What are you saying about your. She was a poor Mexican woman. You're a guy that does pretty damn well. You should be embarrassed.

[Sam Byer]

But that generation was thrifty.

[Steve Covino]

Rich is Just a thief.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Thrifty and I don't know, he's a national radio broadcaster making. They call him Daddy Stacks.

[Sam Byer]

Daddy Stack Stacks of napkins.

[Rich Davis]

He can't buy his own. Yeah. He can't buy his own napkins. Yeah. Now I know why they call him that. Do you want to. Do you want to pay for napkins?

[Sam Byer]

Okay, I have a question.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Sam Byer]

Okay. If you're taking a lot of plastic utensils, are you actually using them or are they just piling up in your.

[Rich Davis]

House every time you come to my house for a football party or a little using Chipotle? He thinks he's being resourceful from stealing at Chipotle.

[Sam Byer]

I don't think that plastic silverware is actually very expensive to begin with, so maybe it's both. Rich, why are you doing that? And also Chipotle's like, we can just give you as many folks as you want.

[Rich Davis]

You know what? I'm not going to say what I'm doing is awesome, but I will say this. When I'm checking out of Chipotle, we're.

[Sam Byer]

Just trying to get enact a little bit of revenge.

[Rich Davis]

Yes. You know what? Because sometimes I'll be like, all right, burrito, burrito. But, Sam, if everybody did that, you'd be again, you'd be causing your question.

[Sam Byer]

Here is the Chipotle that's closest to Rich's house. Is the manager there, like every other week? Like, why are we always out of napkins and forks and spoons?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, that's what happened.

[Sam Byer]

And then other places report in. They're like, no, we don't have any shortage of napkins and forks.

[Rich Davis]

Is. And I think you might feel me on the thought of you get to the register. You're like, really? I just got two burritos and it's $40. My tiny little F you to Chipotle. Which I love, by the way.

[Sam Byer]

But you're patronizing them. You're a patron of them.

[Rich Davis]

I spend 80 bucks a week.

[Sam Byer]

There's like a love hate relationship.

[Steve Covino]

You're going there.

[Rich Davis]

In my mind, I'm taking 10 forks and a stack of napkins. I'm doing it. It's how I'm operating. It doesn't make it right. But you're doing it, though.

[Sam Byer]

But you are willingly coming back and you're buying their product. And you're like, but I still hate.

[Rich Davis]

You because you guess what? I do.

[Sam Byer]

But I love your product.

[Rich Davis]

I buy their product too. And I take an appropriate amount of utensils. Let me give you Another one I saw at the supermarket. Dan Buyer. This might blow your mind. At the supermarket, they sell Chick Fil A sauce in a bottle. Who would buy it? When you just go to Chick Fil A and say, throw, like, 10 in the bag. Are you buying Chick Fil A sauce in a bottle? That's good.

[Sam Byer]

Sauce.

[Rich Davis]

Is rich. Wrong. How does he make a point? I think he's way better than that. This guy makes a good living. We have, like, three jobs. He's doing all right. He doesn't need to stoop this low to make a point. Like, give me a break.

[Steve Covino]

But if he was from his major.

[Rich Davis]

Cheapskate behavior is sort of like trashy behavior. This guy, you should see we're not even exaggerating how many he has. It's ridiculous. He's doing this so that he can be a family fun guy and invite everybody over. Like, yeah, use as many utensils as you want. I steal them anyway. Next time you come to my house, byof, bring your own fork. I mean, you should be forced to.

[Dan Byer]

Bring a Chipotle banner and put it up in your house like, they sponsor it, you know, for, like, advertising.

[Sam Byer]

Why is this party his napkins? See Chipotle.

[Rich Davis]

You know what else he does? This. This trash bag. You think he's, like, a good guy because he's, like, handsome. Like I said, that's not it. He actually steals milk, too. It doesn't end with utensils.

[Danny G]

I've heard about.

[Rich Davis]

This is an old story.

[Sam Byer]

I'll explain in elementary school.

[Danny G]

No, it's where he lived.

[Rich Davis]

I'll explain to defend myself, and then we're gonna talk about the New York Football Giants.

[Steve Covino]

And I'll. No, I want to stick on this topic.

[Rich Davis]

I'm getting out of here. No. So I used to.

[Steve Covino]

I got forks to steal before.

[Rich Davis]

I have kids now. But when I was a single man, no other people attached to me. And I was just a single man. Once in a blue moon, if I needed, like. Like a quarter cup of milk or something, there was a deli coffee station across the street from my house that I would frequent every day. I would eat from their little buffet. You know, a supermarket has, like, their weigh your food and all that doesn't give you the right. You're just a customer, bro. You're not special. I would go to the coffee station and fill up a quarter cup of milk and bring it home. But I was there every day. So what? Who cares? You're a customer. That doesn't give you the right to steal their milk.

[Sam Byer]

If this was Great Depression. Rich, born in 1915, dies in 1990. And he's taking a little milk or some oyster crackers or some jelly packets. He'd be like, oh, he's thrifty and resourceful.

[Rich Davis]

He's justifying. He's saying he wouldn't go through a whole gallon. So he would go there and steal a few cups of milk a week. So he just had it in his house for cereal or whatever. I'm just saying. I'll wrap it with saying this because who cares? It's fun, it's funny, I get it. Make fun of me all you want, but Covino's the first guy. Let's say we did an event. No, I'm the first guy that they'd be yelling at because they saw me doing it. That's why I have an issue with it. I would not get away with this. They would be like, yo, what are you doing with that stack of napkins? I couldn't say, hey man, I'm having a party this weekend for the Giants game. They'd be like, yeah, why don't you take like five or six, not 600 like you do and no one's gonna stop you. Alright, let's say we're at an event and let's say it was with MLB Danny J. We just went to the All Star game in Hotlanta. Let's say we go to like the press area and they have a craft services table, as they call it, right? With all little snacks and goodies.

[Danny G]

We've seen those before.

[Rich Davis]

Covino's the first guy to be like, I'm gonna put like 10 beef sticks in my, in my bag. And oh, they have Nutri Grain bars. Let me grab some of those. That's not true.

[Steve Covino]

Are you, Uncle Frank?

[Rich Davis]

I think it's appropriate if I take like two things of peanuts. Like, who cares? It's appropriate. You know, this conversation is. You're taking an absurd amount. There's an appropriate amount.

[Danny G]

Absurd amount for the media when they try to feed all the moochers at these games, stadiums and arenas, they put out extra knowing that the media guys all carry backpacks. Trust me, they know you're going to take four or five.

[Rich Davis]

You love grabbing stuff off of those tables.

[Danny G]

Oh, at the boxing events, the, the, you know, what is it? The media row or the radio rows that they have. They have a table with like 100 granola bars. Yeah, I'm going to take three of them back to the hotel room now.

[Rich Davis]

How do you benefit from this stupid banter? If you have people coming over for NFL Kickoff less than two weeks away. Just get your napkins and forks at Chipotle. The answer. That's. That's basically what Rich is saying. It's the cheapskate tip of the day. You could have a whole party funded by free utensils from whatever Chipotle's in town. Should we do this every day? Cheapskate tip of the day.

[Dan Byer]

I know why you want to let Jim Harbaugh slide. Because you guys have the same character.

[Rich Davis]

It's a character flaw.

[Steve Covino]

Under understood. It's a character flaw.

[Rich Davis]

It's like I am above the law. Steven Seagal and Rich Davis. I'm going to do what I want.

[Danny G]

Fired. We can wrap it right there.

[Rich Davis]

All right, your thoughts at Covino and Rich @ Fox Sports. Rad. What's the YouTube live chat again? We have a live chat now. You could participate. You don't have to call. We want you to call. But you could chat. Livesr on YouTube. Coleman hit us up saying Covino doing Rich's voice is the best thing ever. Let's see. Dan said Rich is like an old lady stealing sugar packets from the diner. Yeah, but Rich, I don't want to say makes lots of money, but most old ladies with a little rain hat on aren't slaying on fixed income. Yeah, exactly.

[Steve Covino]

Pension, Social Security.

[Sam Byer]

And they can't afford those napkins or sugar packets.

[Danny G]

Rich is doing it's okay to steal if you don't have a lot of money.

[Sam Byer]

I think everybody does this, but maybe Rich just does it a little bit.

[Steve Covino]

Like over.

[Sam Byer]

Like the security guard we were talking about who tackled the fan. He's a little overzealous.

[Rich Davis]

Where did you learn this behavior that you think it's okay? Wes said Dan Beyer for the win. Wrap it up with him. Just saying you and Jim Harbaugh are both the same guy. Same guy. All right, let's talk New York football. Giants, afc. We talked about a bunch. NFC East, a division that is so interesting to me because even when the team stink, there's great storylines because there's four interesting, great teams in that division. We got two really good teams. I find it to be the opposite of the AFC south who desperately tries to get my attention and it just can't. Like Daniel Jones and the Colts is like the best story. I would say it's the most exciting division in all of football. You got defending champions with the Eagles. You got the commanders who I think are going to be solid team again and they're exciting. They were in the NFC Championship, you got the Dallas Cowboys, who just have tons of controversy. Season haven't even started yet. And Jerry Jones all over tv and Michael Parsons. Yet they're America's team and we're watching documentaries. And they're the Dallas Cowboys. Right. They're probably going to think, or they'll be average. They can be Giants. Don't act like the cow. I know the Cowboys in Vegas are projected to be slightly under.500, but there's Cowboy fans that I know. They go in with high hopes every year, but there's people that are thinking that figure out this Micah Parsons thing and the team's going to be all right.

[Steve Covino]

There's.

[Rich Davis]

There's a sentiment there. So. And then the Giants. Here's what I wrote down, too, because this is what I really feel. They could be bad, but they're exciting. They seem to be exciting. And how bad is bad if they're exciting to watch? They seem like a really colorful team. It looks like they're having fun again. These games don't count. Losing is not fun. So if they're losing in the regular season, does that fun sort of go away? I think that. But by just injecting Jameis Winston into any situation, you're automatically a little more fun. Danny G. Thinks they're going to be good, but we're seeing again, we don't put a lot of stock in preseason, but you got Jackson Dart and Jameis Winston having fun. You got Winston and Wilson having fun. You got Tommy DeVito's probably on his way out. But all these other young players, they got some good names in the draft.

[Danny G]

Jackson Dart throwing some elite neighbors. That's why I think they're going to be at least.500. And you, you hit the. The nail on the head by saying the roster is just having more fun than some other teams we've seen in preseason. With that pick six yesterday, did you see everyone come off the bench? The whole team, the entire roster was celebrating.

[Rich Davis]

You know, that's how you build chemistry. Does that fun equal wins? Does that fun equal. Eventually, I'm going to watch them because they're exciting. People want to be part of. Even if they don't have the personnel there yet. That excitement, that camaraderie, that vibe will attract free agents. It will be contagious. Even if they're bad, they seem like they're going to be fun to watch. So I would say at least they got that going for him. And they got some good names. I wrote down exciting and bad to me is better. Than mediocre and boring. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exciting and bad. Like, they might. They might have a game where James Winston gets in there and does what he, you know, does, which is, you know, throws for 400 yards, but also four interceptions. And it seems like all these dudes that are competing against each other for a job, they're, like, supporting each other at the same time. Is there a culture shift for the New York Football Giants? Do we feel like. I think that. Do we feel like the leadership? On the Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson part, you see Jackson Dart, like I said, he's feeding the W to Winston. They're having fun. These are all viral clips that we've seen in the past 24 hours. They seem like an exciting young team, and I don't know if anyone was really expecting much from the Giants. Danny G. Thinks they're going to be good. I think they're going to be average, but fun to watch. I mean, just for the heck of it, for the hell of it, for the smell of it. If Vegas is saying 5ish wins, like, maybe that's it. Maybe that's a bet you make. Maybe you make over for the season and you root for them to be.

[Danny G]

I mean, hey, if Jackson Dart gets good playing time this season, I could see them winning eight games.

[Rich Davis]

I was watching the Herd the other day, and Colin was saying that at some point in the season, Jackson Dart needs to get in there. And again, we don't. You don't want to be counterproductive because ideally, imagine if Russell Wilson returns to, like, some ridiculous form and they win. That might not be likely, but you want to see what Jackson Dart could do in cold weather in the Northeast. November, December football. Because there's a lot of great young quarterbacks coming out the next couple years out of college. So you got to make sure, like, all right, is Dart. We think Dart's our guy. I think you need to throw him out there at some point, and I think you throw him out there the minute Russ seems like he's in a bit of trouble. But then again, let's look at their first couple weeks and that'll dictate schedule watching. Sam, we're going to be schedule watching. You know, this is. I love this. See if it's possible. Come on, Sam. Come on, Sam. Come on, Sam.

[Danny G]

Two, one.

[Rich Davis]

The rich loves to look at the schedule. Game, schedule watching. Now, this is fun, though. I actually schedule watching Danny. I've learned to love this. Now.

[Steve Covino]

Schedule watching Danny was giving me the. What is it?

[Sam Byer]

Last one standing.

[Steve Covino]

Three Two one, countdown.

[Rich Davis]

And I was like, oh, the nervous farts there. I saw it.

[Steve Covino]

Sorry.

[Rich Davis]

In your eyes. All right, regular season New York football, Giants again. First two games of the season against division rivals where we assume if they play Week 1 in Washington against the Commanders, that's, that's, that's going to be a tough game. You could argue Week 2 at the Cowboys. Could they split Week 1 and 2? To me, it feels like it's Owen 2, but maybe a split. Right. Here's the problemo. Then your next two games are the Chiefs and the. And the Chargers. Then you. Then you play the Saints. No bueno. Then you play the Saints, who aren't very good, but then you play the Eagles. So I could see this team being one on one. One and two. One and three. One and four. Yeah. But let's say they seems like the Eagles and the Chiefs always take their foot off the pedal. But then they team like the Giants and that's like their super bowl win the year. I might get one of those games. I don't like the over five wins. No, let me tell you why. Let's play it out. Do you think, you think Scatter Boo Scatterbo is going to be impactful? I mean, I liked his storyline too. That's part of the excitement when he was drafted. The family was there. He was crying. It meant a lot to everybody. Like, I feel a little more invested with a lot of these players than I have before. Denny, unless you're talking about the Raiders, you might be the most real. The most real guy in the room when it comes to realistic goals here. Ready here. Let's go suck Giants, win or loss. Ready? Week one at Commanders.

[Danny G]

The loss.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, let me write this down.

[Steve Covino]

Okay. The Raiders.

[Rich Davis]

The Raiders. All right, so Owen one, Week two, you're playing at the Cowboys.

[Steve Covino]

Ooh.

[Danny G]

I'll say a W there.

[Rich Davis]

Okay. Okay, so now we're one and one. Week three, the Chiefs play at the Giants home opener. Week three, Chiefs. So one and two, then the Chargers.

[Danny G]

Ooh, Chargers.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, one and three, then the Saints could maybe give them one. Give it to them. Two and three. Eagles loss. Two and four. Broncos in Denver. Two and six. No, that's two and five. Now two and five, then they play the Eagles again. There you go. Two and six.

[Danny G]

They surprise. They shock everybody. And they split with the Eagles.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, so now you have three and five.

[Danny G]

Because there's got to be a surprise.

[Rich Davis]

You never know. Yeah, there's always a surprise with that 49ers, 3 and 6, then they play The Bears in Chicago. Ooh, in Chicago, though, you got to give them the edge. 3.

[Danny G]

Jackson Dart makes his debut and they win.

[Steve Covino]

You know what?

[Rich Davis]

Four and. Okay, now we're going four and six. Packers four and seven. Okay. Lions, four and eight. Oh, they got a tough schedule. Patriots.

[Danny G]

Patriots are going to be better.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. But just for the heck of it. 5 and 8.

[Danny G]

Give them that one.

[Rich Davis]

Commanders 5 and 9. Vikings, 5 and 10. Raiders.

[Danny G]

A lot of variables.

[Steve Covino]

That's it.

[Rich Davis]

That's the over six. Yeah. And the Raiders and the Cowboys one more time so that that schedule does feel that five and a half is so on the market. Vegas. Son of a.

[Danny G]

It's worth putting a few bucks on because I could see them getting six then after you.

[Dan Byer]

It's almost like they do research in Vegas.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

Like, it's almost like.

[Rich Davis]

It's almost like those buildings didn't build themselves. It's like they. All those beautiful. You mean like that. That beauty. Those beautiful chandeliers in the Cosmo were not paid for by all our losing. You're paying for that fountain at the Bellagio and those big TVs at Circa. Amazing. So, hey, at least they'll be exciting. You know what I agree with? Like I said, they could be bad. They're probably going to be bad, but at least they'll be exciting. But I like what you wrote about a mediocre team. I wrote that. An exciting bad team. I'll take any day over a mediocre.

[Steve Covino]

Like a 500 boring team.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

You got to go for it on fourth down. Don't be conservative. What do you have to lose? You got to go for it at every step along the way.

[Rich Davis]

That was like they were playing like it meant something yesterday, you know? So, hey, good for them. It looked like they were having a lot of fun. I think that's part of it. So we'll see how it translates once the season starts. Your thoughts on the Giants, hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And we got to play this game. Speaking of Chipotle, Rich. Right. And again, this is no commercial. We wouldn't have been talking about how much Rich steals from them if it was. I don't see that. We play a game called Chipotle Worker or WNBA player. It's our way of familiarizing ourselves with the wnba. And all you have to do is not lose to win a great prize in their football. Just don't come in last place.

[Steve Covino]

Don't be.

[Rich Davis]

Don't be a loser and you'll win. Hey, we got more Covino and Rich. We'll do some NFL and we'll play this game next. So if you want in 87799 on Fox. Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

If we made $15 bills.

[Steve Covino]

But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] switch upfront payment.

[Commercial Announcer]

Of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy taxes and fees extra.

Congrats, Joe.

[Steve Covino]

Joe's arrayou's thanks, fellas.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it. Jinx. All right, let's go to Dan Byer for an update. Let's see what's going on as we get into the weekend, guys.

[Dan Byer]

We got some baseball starting, some football kicking off in an hour. Preseason action. Of course, college football gets rolling tomorrow, but we'll start in the pro game where the Commanders traded running back Brian Robinson Jr. To the San Francisco 49ers. 49ers giving up a sixth round pick in 2026 as part of that deal. Adam Thielen could be on the move. He's in the final year of his contract to the Carolina Panthers. He could be going back to the Vikings where he spent much of his career. As the sides have had conversations, Panthers did lock up right tackle Taylor moten to a two year extension worth $44 million. Steelers played the Panthers last night, wrapping up their preseason first round pick. Defensive tackle Derek Har going to miss a month or more because of an MCL sprain in his knee. According to the NFL Network, attorneys for Malik Beasley spoke with ESPN saying that the free agent NBA guard is no longer the target of the FBI's investigation into gambling on NBA games. Beasley was never charged in the probe. However, negotiations on a potential deal to return to the Pistons were put on hold as he was part of that investigation. Texas Rangers center fielder Evan Carter could miss the rest of the season because of a fractured right wrist. Orioles and catcher Samuel Basayo have agreed on an 8 year 67 million extension in Indiana Fever. Guard Caitlin Clark's dealing with a bone bruise in her left ankle in addition to that groin injury that's kept her out a month in golf at the Tour Championship, Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley lead in second round play at 13 under. Scotty Scheffler is five back. Rory McIlroy is six pack. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

Hey Dan Byer, you're the guy that I know that knows the most about fantasy football. My dude Christian McCaffrey, is he, is he still top of the first round type of guy? First few picks or people not believing in my dude Christian McCaffrey this year late first round.

[Dan Byer]

Right now you kind of have a tier of Bijan Robinson and Jameer Gibbs, Saquon Barkley. However, In a full PPR league, McCaffrey is getting a little bit more value than those other backs. But not top. Top of the list. But I would say mid to late first.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, I was going to say there was an article in the Sporting News today saying how forget about them. The I want your flex podcast is where I get all my updates.

[Dan Byer]

Our quarterback episode just debuted today. Our quarterback preview.

[Rich Davis]

There you go. Dan Byers, the man. But at 20, isn't it crazy to think at 29? The article says at the age of 29 the 49ers have to worry about the workload. He's in his 20s, but he's a new dad. Might be a little inspired, has some a whole off season to get healthy. But the Niners did just get a backup running back that maybe could even.

[Steve Covino]

The work a little bit.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, Brian Robinson Jr. On his way there. But as I learned from TikTok, we're actually in our 30th year. If you're Christian McCaffrey again, you're 29, but you're in your 30th year of life.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you, D.B. thank you TikTok SDB. Now when we get back, we get you ready for the weekend. We call it weekend hobnobbing. What you need to watch this weekend in the world of sports and entertainment. We do it next on Cavino and Rich.

Today's Friday. Today's Friday.

[Rich Davis]

Enlist the pros. And Express never charges job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros.com and now we do this every Friday. Now it's time for our Express Pros Pro the week. Who's it gonna be?

[Danny G]

That's my belly.

[Rich Davis]

No one on your Mets, Rich. Jake Paul. I'm sorry, what?

[Danny G]

He didn't even do anything.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but he got us again, Danny G. And he made a big announcement and he hogged up a lot of our conversation this week. He's going to get us again fighting a 5 foot 5 tank Davis. Even me as a fight fan who thinks this is the dumbest fight ever has to watch because I'm like, all right, well how's this? Five foot five, pound for pound.

[Steve Covino]

Great.

[Rich Davis]

Going to size up against stupid ass Jake Paul, who's 6:1. He's. They got us again. Going to be over £200. So, Jake Paul, November 14th, Netflix, we're all going to be watching. Lots of money will be made. Is your Express Pros pro of the week simply because we got got and cove. I said to you the other day when we announced this fight, the day it was announced, we talked about was the same day we saw a little League World Series pick that was 55130 pounds. And I said, see the guy pitching the guy, the kid in the Little League World Series. That's the size of the person Jake Paul's fighting. Most people listening, your wife, your wife or girlfriend is probably bigger than Tank Davis. And he's fighting Jake Paul. 5 5, 100. And we're all going to watch.

[Danny G]

You guys are underestimating his strength.

[Rich Davis]

Well, if he's quick, if he's not.

[Danny G]

Built like your wife, he's not built.

[Rich Davis]

Like that little kid uses his quickness and the sweet science. Like we said, there's always a chance. But. But you're really discrediting the power and size and strength of a Jake Paul. I mean, if your wife is built like Tank Davis, damn. All right, let's get into some weekend hobnob, man. Let's go live in for the weekend.

[Steve Covino]

You'Re winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing, you ever done anything dangerous? You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? That is dangerous.

[Rich Davis]

Friday brings us weekend Hobnobs. All right, I'll kick it off. Speaking of fights, UFC Fight Night. We got. Who do we got this week? We got Walker Minyang, and we got Ortega and Sterling. So enjoy some UFC fights. We got Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning on pvod. Elijah's saying, nah, not worth the watch. I don't know. Hey, PVOD, check it out. F1 is also available. F1, the movie with Brad Pitt. So you watch some Tom Cruise and some Brad Pitt. Lots of handsome this weekend on pvod. I just started it. I gotta finish it. It's causing a lot of controversy. This week, the Biggest Loser documentary on Netflix. Dude, I wrote it down. Fit for tv. I watched the first episode and it. It is. It's interesting, right? Because you got these people that are real big and. Yeah, but first of all, what we need to keep in mind is this was the early 2000s. You weren't as politically correct. It was a different time, and people used different tactics to motivate people. I don't know. I don't like how it's rubbing me, this documentary. It's caused lots of controversy and there's lawsuits, and you check it out, see what you think. I think from what I've seen, what happened to Tough Love? Well, from what I've seen, they did push these people. Nowadays. That show wouldn't air. Not, Not. Not even because of. I mean, some of it was degrading, I agree. But don't you think these are people that signed up because they needed a push and thousands of people would sign up to do it? So it wasn't like they were like, hey, let's take an overweight person and mock them. People waited, thousands of people in line to be one of the contestants. And it was Tough Love. But nowadays it would just be like one week episode. Motivated. They wouldn't have been in that position. So anyway, over promised. That's our bonus podcast. It's on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. But now we also put it on Covino Enrich FSR, our brand new YouTube page where we stream the show live. But our bonus pod is there. Episode 105, brand new episode.

Brand new. Check it out. Give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world. If you got kids, have you seen K Pop Demon Hunters? I'm not saying it's for us and adults, but you're not the only one. I just want to let you know if your kids are obsessed with K Pop Demon Hunters. It's the number one streamed animated movie on Netflix now, so you're not the only one. I just want to throw it out there. Well, the update this week is that they're taking it to theaters now. Also on Netflix, Hunting Wives. Oh my goodness. Hubba hubba, monsieur. You watching Hunting Wives?

[Sam Byer]

Jeez, no, but I want to.

[Rich Davis]

I heard about it from white men. Like it.

[Steve Covino]

But it seems like just women on women action with a lot of boobs, apparently.

[Commercial Announcer]

Apparently.

[Steve Covino]

But I seems like a thriller I would like.

[Rich Davis]

Aside from it looks scandalous but also interesting. So hunting wise, a lot of hunting going on. Danny G, you turned us on to this. I can't wait to watch this this weekend. Tell us a little bit about America's team, the Cowboys. Duck.

[Danny G]

Yeah. On Netflix. It's an eight part docu series, America's Team the Gambler and his Cowboys. The first episode is the story about how Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys. And we're all too young to know the story behind. Behind it. It is insane. What a tremendous docu series.
