And yep, the Yankees got Austin Slater. Who? Not o' Neal Cruz, who I was hoping for. But hey, Neil Cruz, you think you're getting that guy? That's funny. Why? He's named after Paul o'. Neal. He should be a Yankee. Same. Anyway, hope you're enjoying your mlb. Tomorrow's the deadline. So it's deadline Eve, everybody. Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Eve too Football Eve because well starts tomorrow football broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio out here in the mean streets of la. We got Iowa, Sam, we got Danny G, Monte Balanos, spots on the videos, FOX Sports Radio's YouTube. We're Covino and Rich turning your hump day into a hump night. Oh, I like that. Yeah, me too. I will say I want everyone to note over the next 24 hours it's going to happen once in your life. So when it happens, I want you to think of me. Your friend is going to talk about the trade your team should make and they're going to be so ridiculous about what they want to get from for how little they give up. It's my biggest pet peeve around trade deadline time. That's true. Right. Your team will always be like, you know, we should try to get and they'll say something like we should try to get like Paul Schemes from the Pirates. And what do you want to give up? I don't know, like a couple minor leaguers, people we don't know, idiotic fans. Now how it works all do this every year, especially in baseball and basketball. When the trade deadline approaches, they'll be like we should give up. And they'll talk about like bunk middle relief guys and they want to get a slugger from another team. So you'll, you'll hear it happen at least once over the next 24 hours. Yeah, but depending on the moves that are made. Shows you how much their hearts really in it in my opinion. And the Yankees, no offense, the guy's a big leaguer so my opinion doesn't matter much and I hope he lights it up. But Austin Slater doesn't say that the Yankees are really going for it in my opinion. Yeah, but we've talked about this with behind the scenes people, GMs of teams. By the way, he might end up being one of my favorite players that I root for, but that's how I feel. I think when you hear GM speak, and we've, we've spoke to people behind the scenes before where fans don't realize that there's so many things that need to happen. First of all, these other players need to be available. True. They need to want what you're giving up. And it all needs to work out so perfectly. There's money considerations involved. Like, just because you're like, man, who's the third baseman you did want? He just got hit by a pitch. Eugenio Suarez. I call him Eugenio. No, I know. My mama calls him Eugenio. I call him Eugenio. I don't think his mama calls him Eugenio. That kid's a stud player, right? He has like 30 something home runs already. He has a busted hand. Now, here's the thing. What if the Yankees like, yo, we want Suarez? And what if they say right there, yankees front office, guess what, Rich? My father says everything's negotiable. Yeah. This isn't Pee Wee's big adventure. Everybody's got a price. You're not. You're not the Buxtons. What. What if. What if your dude Brian Cashman's like, yeah, I'm not giving up what youth want? Then it's a no deal. And then what do you rather do you want to get Suarez? If it means the Yankees giving up all their prospects and maybe one guy on the roster, we'll see the moves. We'll talk about it tomorrow. In for the herd, Covino and Rich. So tune in early tomorrow, but we got lots to get to this hour. Midweek Major, the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. We'll be giving out prizes in the form of IOUs. So we'll explain. Yeah, we'll explain, but you promised. We talk NFL Power rankings. Like you said, it's NFL Eve. Yeah. So let's get into it. Yeah. This is the 2025 NFL Power Rankings according to NFL on Fox. They put this out. One of their lead NFL guys, Ralph Factiono, he compiled this middle name, Gabagoo. So NFL on Fox, I have it in front of me. One through 15. I'll take from you guys, okay? See how good you are? Let me pull up the stand. Let me pull up the. Rich is cheating already. Not cheating. I'm just. I'm just looking at the division. So I got my right gauge here. Top 15, you say, huh? Top 15 NFL teams going into preseason, in no particular order. Well, yeah, I have the 15, but, yeah, you guys can just guess the top 15 and where you think they would be. Let's start out. The Eagles, number one. Bam. Not that hard. But, yeah, I'm gonna say just based on not much has changed. If anything, they tried to revamp a little bit. The revenge tour of the Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs number three on the list. Better believe it. Whoa, mama. She'll be number one. So who do you think's number two, then? Number two, Lamar Jackson. Yes. And Co. Baltimore. Boom. I'll go Buffalo Bills, number four. Bam. All right, so now that we got that out of the way, it's a little harder now. Now let's dive in a little more. I think there is a sentiment that Detroit will remain very competitive. No, I was surprised by this. They have Detroit number nine. Wow. Okay. All right, I'm going out on a limb here, and I'm saying especially after fresh after watching quarterback. The Bengals were so close to so many games. Luck has to swing their way a little more this year. Burrow's gonna bring it. Bengals gotta be in it. You guys are going in reverse order. Now they have Bengals number eight. Okay. Okay. We gotta close it down seven to four. Let's keep that reverse going. Yeah. And I don't want to be a homer, but they have the easiest, softest schedule in the history of schedules. And. And they're healthy. And Brock Purdy signed the deal. I think the Niners are still so very in the mix. This is going to grind your gears. Rich Fox. The power rankings here by Ralph and company have the Niners at number 18. Whoa. Yes. What? I think we need a break. Yeah. That is wild, dude. Your number Niners are closer to my Raiders than the Eagles at number one. Dare I say this is the most bunk thing I've heard ever. I think you were kind of expecting this, though, because I thought you were going to say, oh, Rich, they snuck into number 12 or 13 or. No, no. A couple weeks ago you said a lot of people have counted your team out going into this season. I promise you this. There's a reason why the Niners over under in Vegas, I think, is 11 and a half or 12 games. They may flounder in the postseason, but they're going to be an inflated team this year. Because when I tell you, look at the 49ers schedule, they don't play the Eagles, they don't play Buffalo, they don't play Baltimore, they don't play the Chiefs. The Niners don't play. Who are they playing? They might as well be playing like the Colts every week. They honestly. The Cardinals, their divisions to the week. I mean, the Rams certainly must be on this stupid list then. No whammies. No whammies. No whammies. You guys have one strike so far. Rams. But the Rams. Rams are number 12. Okay, so they're in the top 15. Washington commanders have to be shooting up. Boom. Continuing to go backwards. They're number seven. Bam. I'm bringing the boom, bro. Who you got, Rich? I got. I know I got the next one. Should I just say it? Yep, go for it. I think there's a lot of people high on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year. Buccaneers at number 11 on there. Okay, so they're there. There's people that think the Bucks are better than the Niners. Yeah, there's a lot of buzz on the Bucks. And Baker Mayfield, he makes people better. So we're looking for number. Yeah. You still have 5, 6, 10, and 13 through 15. No whammy. No whammy. No whammy. Someone. Here's the problemo. Someone's got to come out of the AFC south, and I think none of them deserve it. Houston. Houston Texans. Number 13. There you go. Nice. There you go. Texans. Yeah. We gotta find number five. And number six. Is someone inflating? Oh, I'm sorry. There's gonna be people that are high in the packers because they always are. Packers. Yes. Number five. Yeah. Packers. You know, I think they love your boy golden, the new wide receiver there. What about. What about. They finally think the Chargers will get it together? Chargers, number 10. All right. Always. Always in the top 10 every preseason, though, monsie. Chargers top 10. All right, so we're missing number 6, 13, 14, 15. Yep. So one of these has to be like. Come on, man. Are you serious? Do we get. We. We need 6, 13, 14 and 15 or not 6, 14, and 15 still on the board? Who's 13? 13? Texans. Oh, I said that. You're right. Yes. All right, so we have one strike with the Niners. That's embarrassing. I. You know, I'm fine with that strike. Are we thinking Bears are finally making up? Don't give us. That's the second strike, I think. I don't know, man. There's always going to be, like, a super pick that. No, because remember why? Lists are made. Lists are made so people discuss. So they're going to, like. You're going to be like, Bears at number six. Green Bay. And the Lions are on this List. Okay, so there's two teams in there. All right, sorry. Don't count that one. All right, you gotta. Someone's going to come out of the South. And you said, by the way, smart decision. Dubair is number 17. Yeah, they are. Good. Okay, see, now I'm feeling good about that. I'm just thinking there's going to be one surprise. I'm going to give you one because I feel. I think. Oh, no, because that. We've already said it. I'm gonna say it anyway. Denver Broncos just outside at number 16. Sorry, Kavina. Sorry. Second strike. Barely better than the Bears. Down to your last strike, and you have three teams left on the board. All right, we're gonna have to discuss before we answer. You're right. So, Kavino, we need five and six. No, no, we. We have number. We. We are missing number six. Number six. Six, 14 and 15. Oh, okay, so two are borderline teams and one is three. Clearly top 10, and we're just missing it. I'm going to. Look, I'm going to be so aggravated when I figure out who we're thinking of. Titans. No, if you tell me it's. It's not those. It's not the Seahawks. You can't tell me the Seahawks. But then again, if they're ranking the Niners so low. Oh, I know who it is. I know who it is they're setting up. Dak Prescott. It's the Cowboys. No, because that Prescott. Good answer, Steve. Good answer. No, because in Vegas, their Vegas over under is. Steve. Seven wins there. There. Vegas says they're gonna be seven, but these lists, there's always gonna be a surprise on the list. Like, come on, man, he can't be serious. That's why they do these dumbass lists. It's gotta be. There's not a lot of teams left that are even, like, in contention of the conversation. Yesterday when we were talking about the Cowboys, I ran it through the chat GPT predictor. Oh, no. And the chat GPT says the Cowboys could go nine and eight this season. Woohoo. Oh. Oh. Aaron Rodgers. Oh, Steelers. Don't you dare. Yeah, that's better. You locked it in. And the Steelers are number six. Where am I? So wait, wait. So do we need 14? So 14 and 15 and you have one strike coming down to the wire. One strike left. All right, you gotta decide. Is Michael Penix Jr. With Atlanta going to do. Is he respected more than you got to think, who are they respecting more than the 49ers and Bears? Because aren't the 49ers and Bears. What, like 17 and 18, 16 and 17 or something, right? Yeah, 16 and 17. So outside looking in. No, 17 and 18. Broncos at 16, the Bears at 17, Niners at 18. So Broncos, Bears, and Niners. That's surprising. All three of those teams could very well be playoffs. I still think the Cowboys are up there, man. No, I think you're wrong. You don't want to lock that in, man. I mean, all right, how about the Falcons? Yeah, maybe the Falcons. All right, let's do Falcons. Lock it in. Are you locking in the Falcon? Press my button. Rich, you press your. Locked it in. All right, we're locked in on the 2025 power rankings here. NFL on Fox. They have the Falcons at number 25. Sirs, are you writing about the Cowboys, dude? No, they have The Cowboys at 19. Oh, wow. Who do we miss at 14 and 15? At 14. The Cardinals. Oh, wow. Yeah. This honestly. Apple shock. And number 15, the Vikings. Yeah, I was thinking. Okay, that's fair. By the way, why do we always sleep on Minnesota teams? Dude, can I tell you something? It's cold. It's cold there. Yeah. The simple fact. You want the rest of the list really quick. I told you, Skull. 17 and 18, 19. Cowboys, 20, Jags, Seahawks, 21. Patriots, Raiders, Dolphins, Falcons, Giants, Jets, Panthers, Colts, Titan, Saints and Browns in last place at 32. Wow. You know, that list isn't too bad. List list are made to be debated. So I respect. I respect the. Your 49ers is the big controversy here. I think the big. And putting the Steelers at number six. Absolutely. Steelers at six. Those should be like. No, I wouldn't say flipped, but yeah, those are the two surprises. But I. I mean, I'm not saying I would. We already established Steelers are a 9 to 10 win team easily. I'm not saying I would bet my home on it, but I would bet a substantial amount of Money that the 49ers are better than the Arizona Cardinals this year. I can't. I'm flabbergasted that they would put the Cardinals above the 49ers. Like the 49ers. Yeah, they lost a couple key components, but the 49ers. Don't be too flabbergasted. Nobody knows anything. It's all a big guessing game based on. Wow. Based on last season and the moves that were made. But still, you never know. Good, good, good. As. As I believe George Kittle said on the Dan Patrick show. I love that there's no George Kittle saying, like the fact that there's no drama or storyline about the 49ers like that. They're almost a little boring right now. Oh, good, good. Sorry we can't entertain. We found a storyline. Both Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy, both new dads. Oh, is that what they're thinking? They're going to be changing diapers at 3 in the morning. They're going to be too tired to compete. Well, is there a. I mean, it's so weird because I'm so in baseball mode now. McCaffrey is like 100% going into the season. Unless something happened that I don't know about. So Christian McCaffrey alone with a healthy Brock. I. You will eventually be back in the mix. George Kittles. I don't understand why. Yeah, they're superstars on paper. Who's got top billing? We don't know. People. People think their window is closed. And I'm trying to decide if I'm looking at through homer glasses do or if their window really did close. I don't know. Well, your thoughts on that. 877-99-FOX. 87799 on FOX. And while we get the phone calls, we're also looking for contestants to play Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. Big Mike, who runs this place, always walks around like he has all the answers. Yeah. So you know what? Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna play you Mike's words of wisdom. You have to repeat it verbatim. I mean, it's. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they're tricky. Repeat it word for word and you will win a cavito and rich coveted prize. Now, as of right now, we're gonna give you an IOU. But we learned in Dumb and Dumber, IOU's all the money that's as good as money, sir. Those are IOUs. And IOUs are just as good as money or prizes. Yeah, we learned this. So yeah, you're pre registered for a CNR prize. So with that said, let's hear Mike's words of wisdom. And if you want to win 87799 on Fox, we'll give you an IOU, which is just. And we mean it, though. We mean it. Yeah, because we're not. We're not sure if we're stocking up on new swiggies or bribery balls, which are the CNR FSR nerf footballs for football season. And by the way, all the final winners of our swiggies the past couple of months. That shipment goes out in a couple of days. Okay, cool. All right. So if you want. That's as good as money. Sir, those are iou. Yeah, we know. We could do Kavito Rich shoehorns. I don't know. Yeah, we got a flask. Giving away a flask. Kavito Rich cufflink set in our lighters. That's right. So 8, 7, 7, 99 on Fox. If you could repeat it verbatim. It's our way of keeping your mind sharp and passing down some wisdom from Mike. Here we go. 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. Nothing lasts forever. Except perhaps the day before you leave for your vacation. Nothing lasts forever. Don't repeat. But it's kind of like our theory on Uber minutes. Yeah, like those are the four longest minutes ever taking so long. Why are you going the wrong way? Yeah, why is he spinning around now? So my car can't do that. If you could repeat that vermita verbatim. How did he miss that turn? I got one job. We'll give you an iou, which is just as good as money. Perfecto. We got more. Covino and Rich. The winner, perhaps for Big Mike's words of wisdom. And Spot's got midweek major. All the fun headlines in sports and entertainment we haven't touched on yet. That's all next. We're going to right here, CNR on FSR. It's the biggest party of the summer. WWE SummerSlam is here, and wrestling with Freddy is all over it.

Check out behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved. San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long term success needs to be find. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life. Listen to San Diego FC behind the flow now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. 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, the 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 going to push back on that colorism. All of these things like exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman aoc. I don't wanna give them my fear. I'm not gonna give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of A global battle against deep fake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

My husband comes back outside and he's shaking, and he just looks like he's seen a ghost, and he's just in shock. And he said, your dad's been killed. This is Hands Tied, a true crime podcast exploring the murder of Jim Melgar. Liz's mom had just been found shut in a closet, her hands and feet tied up, shouting for help. I was just completely in shock. Her dad had been stabbed to death. It didn't feel real at all. For more than a decade, Liz has been trying to figure out what happened.

We do this every Wednesday, and we're sending Danny G's love dice. Yeah, you know what? We'll send them out. Danny G has, like, an old pair of socks in the spare studio over there. Danny G has some Raiders silk underwear that have. You want those? Speaking of, if we used. He's using it as a window shade. Yeah. Speaking of our prizes, if we have time, bad promo items. We said we'd discuss it. Yeah. If not, we'll do it on over. Promised our bonus show. But are we ready? Are we going to give Spot extra time today? It's not extra time. It's like, the actual time I should be allotted. All right, well, we do it every Wednesday. We call it Midweek Major Covino. And Rich gets you over the middle of the week with Midweek Major. Ooh, I love that we throw something. Sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say, that's so mid. We definitely major CNR scoring midweek Major awful lot. Yeah. Danny's out of practice. Yeah, that's for the NFL preseason starting tomorrow. And we could talk really slow right now because we got, like, 11 minutes for spotty here. Wow. Spot. Here we go. I don't need it. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of this, let's roll the two red love dice over there in the main studio, Danny G. Sticky red love dice. I rolled a six. All right, now a rich roll. A rich roll. Way cooler than a Rick roll. Rich rolled pen. So he goes first. That Means rich gets first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Blume from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Spotty Boy. I don't know what I'm going to do with all this time. I will. So if you. I'm Mr. McAlister, the father. If you. If you want to parent like the goat. Tom Brady just dropped some parenting Advice on his 199 newsletter. It appeared like he was offering advice to golfer Scotty Shepler, who has been struggling with being away from his family while on tour. So Brady said that while it's tough to be away from family to be an elite athlete, it's the work on the field which makes pro competitors great. Parents quote, my dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused. Those were times I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids by prioritizing my profession and teaching by example what it takes to be really good at your job. He also went on to say, remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it. Of course, fans are alluding to the fact that he's throwing a little bit of shade at his ex, Giselle, who criticized Tommy's dedication to the game and not his family. If you recall, on this very show, I said that Tom Brady hates his family. So I did. I did. When he went back to when he came out of retirement. So a lot of getting for that, but good advice nonetheless. Midweek or major? This is major. And I'll tell you why. Definitely major. Because it's. Listen, it's Tom Brady. He's the most winning, you know, maybe not the greatest of all time, but the goat, when it comes to the guy's a winner. Seven Super Bowls. That's more than every organization, right? I mean, when you think about it that way. So, yes, he dedicated time and effort to the craft and what a great example for his kids to show hard work and how it pays off. Everything from, from the TB12 workout to, you name it, Tom Brady's the guy. But when he's talking to Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler, it's tough because Tom Brady's dedication resulted in him sacrificing what his family. So he's given advice about making yourself a great example to your kids. But that ultra dedication is sort of what led to the demise of his marriage and why he doesn't. He doesn't see his kids all the time. So it's major, but it also definitely Major feels like a little bit of a justification because of that, Rich. Like, yeah, I sacrificed my family, but I was teaching them how to be a great leader and champion. And that's all true. Yeah. But his family did pay the price as a result. But you know what? They also reap the benefits. And I often say, we had this discussion today, Rich, on our Patreon. Yeah. Your hard work is justified when you're able to splurge on your kids. Like, hey, you know what? We are gonna get the lightning pass and the fast pass, and we are gonna go on vacation. We are gonna get that toy you wanted. That's why dad works hard. We are gonna go to Cold Stone Creamery. We're gonna go to Cold Creamery. That's why dad puts in the extra hour. We will see Paul Stanley. Yeah. So, I mean, I think that's all part of it. Your kids do reap. Yeah, I know what you're saying. It's just. It's interesting. I'm not saying Tom Brady shouldn't give parenting advice, but he. You know, one of the few things you could say negative about Tom is that football did take a priority. So, you know, there you go. Thank you, spot. You could quote me on that. You know what? That's my bold take. Tom Brady hates his family. All right, well, speaking of Tom Brady, remember we were speculating if at the Bezos wedding that he and Sydney Sweeney, you know, the girl with the good genes. Yeah. He and Sydney Sweeney had a little bit of a hookup. Well, it's possible that maybe he's not her type. So WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, who's also a stunning blonde, said that Tom Brady is not her type of guy because she's into, quote, more of a manly man. Cunningham was talking about Brady on the first episode of her new show Me Something podcast, talking with her friend, TV personality Wes Wilson, who said he recently met Brady. And Cunningham asked how much Botox he has. She said she likes more of a manly man. Doesn't want her man having Botox. Botox in his face. Alluding to the Brady looking like he's had work done. And there's been a lot of speculation he looks like handsome Squidward. Maybe he has Cunningham. 28 years old, currently in her first season at the Indiana Fever. So maybe she kind of has the eye of the younger girl. So that might take Sydney Sweetie out of the mix midweek. Or me. This is. This is mid. And I'll tell you what I love. No, I do not yet. Sophie Cunningham. Beautiful. You mean Sophie Stunningham Thanks. I came up with that. Good one, Sam. You should make some shirts. Sophie Stunningham is hot. She's cool. I like what she's brought to the wnba. Defending Caitlin Clark. This is the first misstep. Who says Tom Brady wants you anyway? And number two, Tom Brady. You should be so lucky, Sophie Cunningham. If Tom Brady were to look your way. Tom Brady. Brady is a pimp. Tom Brady's the man. Tom Brady. I mean, Sophie Cunningham, if they were a power couple. Why don't you date Tom? Tom Brady would be the. Come on. I'm. This is ridiculous. You know why Sophie Cunningham isn't interested in Tom Brady? Is because he won't eat Arby's roast beef. That's the real problem. Do you guys know about that shirt? No. No. She wore a shirt to a game that was like, hot girls eat at Arby's and it's like become like a viral thing. Please. Thanks for clarifying that. You gotta clarify your roast beef comments. Tom Brady will not touch Arby's. Next. Hey. Leave the roast beef at home. I think this is a mid story. No one cares. That's so mid. Manly man. How do you define that? Tom Brady is the man amongst men. Every guy adores him. So how is he not the man or manly man? He's a football superstar. What's a manly man? Jeremiah Johnson. You have to have a burly beard. Like, what is a manly man? Richard Karn. Like, oh, maybe. You know what? Maybe. Maybe I got a chance with Borland. You have to have like a big beard and like be working under a car. What does that mean? I mean, he's a football super. No, but. I know, but. But I get what you say. He is pretty. Like he goes against facials at a spa. Like that's what Brady does. Good looking though. Doesn't mean he takes care of himself. That means he's soft. That doesn't mean he's soft. That guy competes on the highest of levels with the toughest of guys. So he wants guys who have bo. She wants a stinky fat guy. I saw on tmz. I saw Tom Brady on TMZ with like his glistening tan abs. Maybe she doesn't want that. You know what, man? That's fine. And you know what? I'm sure he doesn't want that either. All right. He doesn't want that roast. Be all right. Over to the Lakers. Luka has been slimming down a lot recently. I know we've joking about his weight, but he has been slimming down. Despite speculation The Laker has shut down any rumors that he's doing it with the help of drugs. Drugs assistant Ozempic. While appearing on Today this Morning, host Craig Melvin actually asked the question everyone's been thinking. He said, no Zempic, none of those shots or anything. Luca quickly shut it down, saying that his trim look is the result of diet of and exercise and that he actually took a full month off of basketball to focus solely on his fitness. This is insulting. Okay, continue. No, I'm sorry, go. I was going to say he was featured on the summer edition of Men's Health looking for him as well. So maybe stepping it up. He's got some potential contract extension coming up as soon as August 2nd. So who knows? Midweek or major. Major. Definitely major. It's insulting to a 25 year old guy. He is not. He's not a 50 year old guy or a mom who's trying to bounce back after having kids middle age. He's a 25 year old guy. To speculate that him getting in shape, you're like boss piano zempic. Or he's a 25 year old elite athlete who could probably just turn it on for a couple months. Kavina, when you were 20 something and you wanted to get trim, you could probably do it in a few weeks. You remember those days where like you eat healthy for a month? Even I did it at 25. It was easy. Like eat healthy for a month. When you're 25, you're fine with. If you're asking a 45 year old, that's different. 25. Insulting. Lucas should be like Ozempic. You out of your mind, you buffoons. Who was the fat guy in Teen Wolf? Chubby Chubs. Chubs. It's not like he was Chubbs from Teen Wolf. Kind of was. No, he was not. Kind of was. You cut out the booze and you eat right, you lose some weight. It's not that hard, especially when you're that young. He's not. He wasn't that fat. He was just a little soft. So give me a break. He wasn't on and off the court. He was that in n out burger. He dieted some. He made fitness a priority and it's the biggest revenge he could have had. It's like the kiss my ass, look at me now. To Dallas and props to him. He also admitted. I don't know if you saw this, but he was at the Yankees broadcast recently and they asked him. Michael K is like, you ever play baseball? He's like, only on the Wii. Only on the Wii. But they also talked about just a diet and cleaning it up and just change in priorities. Good for him, man. I think it's a major story. All right. A little beef is brewing between former former baseball player Philly John Kruck and Chicago sky star Angel Reese. We all say what I know. The play by play commentator Tom McCarthy was wishing his friend a happy birthday, who happened to be his former high school basketball player teammate. He said he was a heck of a basketball player because McCarthy said, I missed a lot of shots and he cleaned that up. And then Crux took that as an opportunity to throw a jab at Angel Reese. McCarthy said, I don't want to say anything or no. Crux said, I don't want to say anything, but there's someone here in Chicago who does that a lot. McCarthy said, that's true. She gets her points. And then Crux said she gets her rebounds, too, alluding to the fact that Reece has been padding her stats, you know, getting her me bounds as she refers to them. Yeah. And then Reese has actually responded saying, you know, clout is a hell, one hell of a drug, really gets to a point. She also went on her TikTok saying to anybody that's been mean to me and you're having a hard time in life. Good. So we'll see if the jabs continue back and forth. But it's getting a little steam on social media. Midweek or major eye rolling. Lee. Mid. That's so mid. I love John Kruk. No one knows who Angel Reese is compared to John Kruck. John Kruck. What? I would reverse that. John Crook. John Kruck is a major superstar that played an all star game games and was a. Was a staple in baseball. Angel Reese is part of a league that no one cared about until a year ago. But like on like Instagram and like all social media, I'd say like she has like millions of followers. Yeah. John Crook is most known for putting his helmet on backwards. Yeah, but. But I love him. He's a colorful guy. But John Krug has accomplished so much more in his life than Angel Reese. This is embarrassing for her, huh? It's a weird beef. Like you said, roast beef. Speaking of beef, on a positive note, what say you? I saw our buddy. I think it's a mid story. It's a weird beef. Like you don't want to like cut up a young woman in any weird way. And I don't think that was John Crook's real intention here. He sort of was vague about it on A positive. I saw Jeff Pearlman say that Angel Reese is an old school elbow throwing, rebound grabbing, Oakley esque sort of baller. We need to appreciate her so she plays a different game. A tough game. Not everyone's gonna love it. It's a mid story. All right, thanks guys. Thank you. Spot. I just. I just think. Thanks for the time. Some of these WNBA players are just delusional. I promise you this. I've said it before. If they stop playing for some holdout, they'll never play again. Right? That's my thought. Is that why someone threw a toy on the court during a game yesterday? Look that up on your own time. I don't know what that's all about. You didn't hear about this? No. Why don't you tell us in your update? Monte? Monte. Sure. What toy was it? My pit monster. A toy that's not suitable for work. Was it man at Arms, a toy you would use in the evening? Maybe a lady. You know, just look it up. But it was a tide. What do you mean by that? It was a tied game with one minute left and this item went flying onto the court. Man, I can't. Lime green. Couldn't miss it. Camera even pants to it for a hundred. It was a glow worm. Glow worm. Glow worm for my childhood. Remember that was Glow worm. Yes, yes. That's exactly what it was. A big glow worm. Exactly. All right. Perfect. No, you know, but it was like a tie game with one minute to go. It's hilarious. Okay. Anyway, MLB trade deadline. I'm gonna say it's pretty much finalized. Everybody is reporting on this. The Phillies are fake finalizing a deal to acquire closer Johan Duran from the Twins for two top prospects like 4 and 6. The top prospects of the. Of the Phillies. Yeah. That's probably the biggest trade so far. Is he going to keep his cool entrance that he had in Minnesota? Remember he had like one of the. He would almost what the Mets Timmy Trumpets does for Diaz. The guy in Minnesota, he has a great intro. He better. He better continue a great intro. The Reds have acquired Gold Glove their basement key, Brian Hayes from the Pirates. While the Mariners traded for Pirates left handed reliever Caleb Ferguson. Mets acquired right handed pitcher Tyler Rodgers from the Giants. And the Yankees traded for White Sox outfielder Austin Slater. Right now in baseball, Phillies are edging the White Sox 2 to 1. Bottom of the fourth inning, the Padres just shut out the Mets 5 0. Pirates beat the Giants 2 1. Blue Jays snapped their four game losing streak with a 9 to 8 win over the Orioles Cubs outscored the Brewers 10 to 3. Ravens tight end Isaiah likely going to have surgery on a broken bone in his foot. He's expected to miss six weeks, but it's possible that he could actually be ready for Week one. The Seahawks signed GM John Schneider to a four year extens in the NBA. The warriors have made another push to retain Jonathan Kaminga, but the restricted free agent is continuing to decline their two year, $45 million contract offer. And former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, along with five other defendants were arrested today on a federal indictment alleging they operated an illegal gambling business in which high stakes poker games were played at an Encino mansion Arenas owned. Guys, back to you. Thanks Monsi. Jess. Thanks Monsi. Yes. All right, so we got more Covino and Rich. Maybe we'll fit in some bad promo item, but stick around. Let's have fun.

San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team.

When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment.

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 U.S. 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 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 My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville.

Now, bad promo items or Wingy like black sheep said, the choice is yours. Oh, you know, since yesterday was National Wing Day, break out those lemon pepper. Break out those Asian zing. Or what are the ones you like? The honey barbecue. Oh, honey barbecue. Yeah. Let me just make a couple things clear. Now I'm hungry. The same annoying conversations come up every time when someone says wing. So I will touch on them without talking about them. We will not have the tired conversation of blue cheese or ranch. Because he answers, blue cheese. Next second thing. Wow. Ranch is pretty good, though. Blue cheese. The second blue cheese tastes rotten. I love blue cheese. A lot of people are not team blue cheese. I'm team blue cheese. I said we weren't talking about it. People love to debate that stupid thing. Secondly, people love to say boneless wings are just chicken nuggets. I don't care. I still love them. Me, too. You could. Then I'm eating. Then I'm eating nuggies. I love wings, but I also love boneless. Who doesn't? Stop being pretentious. Breaded with a sauce. You're allowed to have boneless wings. Don't call me a baby. What are you, some sort of sophisticated highbrow advance a pilate? Yeah. What do you think you're better than me because you like the bone? Please. You're more like. We're all like Guy Fieri. None of us are. You know, we're all having donkey sauce anyway. That's good sauce. That is good sauce. Dan Patrick. Those two debates are right up there. Like Dan Patrick. To me. Those two debates are right up there with Jordan or LeBron James. Get your drops right. That's Ben Malik. So blue cheese and boneless wings are fine for me. My final question, and I think it's so funny because we saw Rob Parker have a fit about this. Our buddy Rob Parker on the Odd Couple, he lost his mind. We were at the super bowl, and he asked the waiter, can you bring me all flats? All flats, all the time. I like a mix of them, but I will go for the flats over the drumsticks. But Rob Parker put up a fit where he's like, what do you mean you can't do all flats? My head spinning off like, he was so mad. Did I do that? What would you go for? Monty, I know you're not a meat eater, but what would you go for? Guys, fellas, what would you do? Wing. When you do wings? Drumsticks or the flats? Drumsticks. For me. I'm a drumstick, too. I loved wings. That's the thing. I missed the most in my life. Drummies. Drummies. You're going drummies. My wings are easier to eat. Yeah. Easier to dip, too. Easier to dip. I'm not breaking anything apart. Like, it's what I'm going for first. Without a doubt. All right, so you know what, drumstick? We learned a lesson. All of you could eat wings with Rob Parker and be in ebony and ivory, perfect harmony. That's right. He'll take the flats, you'll take the drumsticks, and all is good. Who thought wings were so controversial? I know. Exactly. We will see you guys manana in for the herd. Until then, have a great night. Arriba derchi, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye, guys. Let's start with a quick puzzle. The answer is Ken Jennings appearance on the puzzler with A.J. jacobs.
