Episode Overview

This episode of Covino & Rich (C&R) on The Dan Patrick Show is a lively mix of sports talk and pop culture banter, blending passionate defenses of major athletes with light-hearted anecdotes from the studio. The central focus is the controversy surrounding Aaron Judge’s leadership style and his recent speech to Team USA ahead of the World Baseball Classic (WBC). The episode also swings into humorous territory with tales of ripped pants in the office and debates about Magic City Night in Atlanta. Along the way, the hosts riff on sports fandom, the culture of criticism, and memorable moments from sports and film.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Aaron Judge’s Leadership: Criticism & Defense

• Context: Aaron Judge delivered a speech to Team USA before the WBC. Some, notably Barstool’s Dave Portnoy, criticized the speech as lackluster.
• Hosts’ Response:
  • Steve Covino is ardent in defending Judge, pointing out that leadership isn’t only about fiery speeches, but about professionalism and leading by example. He compares Judge’s calm, collected style to Derek Jeter, advocating for respect and support rather than criticism.
  • Rich Davis prods Covino, joking about his fierce loyalty to Judge and noting the overblown reaction to a routine welcome speech, not a pep rally.
• Highlighted Quote:

  "Rooting against Aaron Judge is un-American. He just set up losers. I thought—All rise and celebrate this man because he plays the game, supposedly."
  —Steve Covino (09:43–09:48)

• Insight: The segment explores how sports leaders can be effective without grandstanding, and laments the tendency to tear down public figures for not fitting a certain mold.

2. Barstool & Social Media’s Double Speak

• Observation: The hosts call out the hypocrisy on social media, with Barstool both criticizing and mourning criticism of Judge in near-consecutive posts.
• Highlighted Quote:

  "Barstool says two things... pick a side. Is this sad or are you adding to this?"
  —Steve Covino (07:40)

• Takeaway: The hunt for controversy and viral takes often trumps thoughtful commentary.

3. WBC Fandom Dilemma

• Game-Time Loyalty: Producer Danny G is asked who he’d support in a hypothetical USA vs. Ohtani (Japan) WBC final—his favorite player or his country?
• Danny G’s Response:

  "I'm rooting for Team USA, yeah, absolutely."
  —Danny G (13:46)

• Insight: Even the most devoted MLB fans can feel pulled between rooting for their team’s stars and national pride.

4. Puerto Rico in the WBC

• Big Mike’s Question: Why does Puerto Rico, a US territory, field its own WBC team?
• Analysis:
  • Rich and Covino surmise it’s due to cultural pride and distinct identity.
  • Producer Danny G finds CBS Sports reporting the main reason is insurance requirements for Puerto Rican players.
  • Notable Moment:

    "Bad Bunny was willing to front the insurance money for a lot of the players... but it couldn't happen."
    —Steve Covino (24:39–24:53)

5. Magic City Night Debate

• Background: Atlanta Hawks plan a night celebrating Magic City, a famous Atlanta strip club known for its wings and role in local culture.
• Covino's Perspective: Connects to his mom’s efforts to shut down a strip club near his hometown—raising the question of appropriateness and community standards.
• Upcoming Segment:
  • Spurs player Luke Kornet has criticized the promotion, raising the debate: Is he being a “nerd or an ally of women?”
    (50:06 – teased, to be discussed in-depth after the break)

6. Office Antics: Ripped Pants Story

• Big Mike: After splitting his pants at the office, the story prompts a humorous trip down memory lane about makeshift wardrobe fixes and embarrassment at work.
• Quote:

  "In his truck, he has like 1970s disco pants as spares." —Steve Covino (21:15) "Like a girl with a fat booty trying to hide it. He was trying to hide his... the rip in his ass." —Steve Covino (21:29)

7. Pop Culture Sidebar: Movie Memorabilia

• Ace Ventura’s Rhino Suit:
  • The prop from “Ace Ventura 2”—the animatronic rhino—is up for auction.
  • The hosts riff on who would actually want it and how (or why) you would display it.
• Quote:

  "Of Jim Carrey's physical comedy, there might not be anything funnier than him being birthed out of a rhino's ass."
  —Rich Davis (34:21)

8. Other Notable Sports Bits

• Quick updates on NFL trades, retirements, and contracts (Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker).
• Personal side: Shoutout to Covino's parents celebrating 50 years of marriage.

There's people trying to cancel.

[Steve Covino]

Right?

[Rich Davis]

Magic City Monday. Um, there's supposed to be a Sit down. And now I'm here. It's a rumor between two big celebrities that had some beef. So maybe we'll get into that. Last one standing, Big Mike, who runs this place.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, who? Mike.

[Rich Davis]

He's like, I got a question for you guys. So we got to address this Big Mike Rando question, but there's. There's a guy in Major League Baseball, you know, rated the second best hitter behind Ohtani.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. But your odds on favorite to win WBC mvp.

[Rich Davis]

Wow, you mean Aaron Judge.

[Steve Covino]

Aaron Judge, the Capitan now World Baseball Classic baseball starts manana. You got pool c. Chinese Taipei vs Australia in the Tokyo Dome. So it officially starts tomorrow. Meaningful baseball early for the World Baseball Classic. But Team usa. Usa. Usa.

[Rich Davis]

No usa.

[Steve Covino]

USA all day.

[Rich Davis]

What pool are we in? Are we in the pool that someone peed in?

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, the PE Pool. We play on Friday versus Brazil. Now, Brazil's not expected to really do much. In fact, I think they have the lowest odds to win. We talked about that on Over Promised again. You could watch it on YouTube.

[Rich Davis]

We in the adults only pool. That's the pool you got to get. But can't have kids in the pool.

[Steve Covino]

This team is stacked. This team, the World Baseball Classic. Team USA is stacked. And who's the leader of the team? Who's the captain? Aaron Judge. He's the guy. He is a leader by example. He's never been really an animated vocal leader. I can't say he's not a vocal leader, but he's not an animated guy. It's not who he is. He follows the Jeter blueprint. Was Jeter ever some sort of overly charismatic loudmouth?

[Rich Davis]

I just had to tell you when you say things like that, why everyone else wants.

[Steve Covino]

Why does that barf in there? Because your everything stinks.

[Rich Davis]

No, everyone else wants to barf in their mouth when you say things like he follows the G to blueprint.

[Steve Covino]

Like there's proof is in the championship.

[Rich Davis]

There's this perfect way to be a.

[Steve Covino]

There is Yankee. Tell me all, tell me all the Yankee controversy that Derek Jeter started. That guy had a stellar career. Give credit where it's due. You should be embarrassed as a Mets fan.

[Rich Davis]

He gave out gift baskets to girls. He banked.

[Steve Covino]

Your boy David allegedly wishes. You wish that David Wright or any met for that, for that matter, had the career of Derek G. I mean, I did form a blueprint.

[Rich Davis]

I do think that. But Aaron Judge, stop with the blueprint. He's a good leader, great player. Don't make me hate him. His speech to Team USA Is getting criticized.

[Steve Covino]

Criticized by who? Dave Portnoy. He's a Red Sox fan. He's another blowhard. Let him yap about him. Dave Portnoy is. He's. He has to hate on Derek Jeter. That's what he does. Same way I don't like the Red Sox. That's his job. I don't blame him.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't even see the Portnoy thing. I'm just assuming Barstow.

[Steve Covino]

It's so weird because Barstool says two things. They have a tweet that says is sad to see Judge being criticized for having the worst speech ever. And then in a following tweet, they've portnoy writes, worst speech ever. It's like, pick a side. Is this sad or are you adding to this?

[Rich Davis]

Well, I mean, listen, I know we don't live in a world where everyone is Jameis Winston, because that guy could give a speech, that guy could fire up. He could own old folks home and get some old people dancing.

[Steve Covino]

Jameis Winston. It's like when people. When you're filling in for Colin and they're like, you guys stink.

[Isaac Loincron]

Why?

[Steve Covino]

Because we're not Colin.

[Rich Davis]

We're Covino and Rich.

[Steve Covino]

Why are you expecting Aaron Judge to be Jameis Winston when he's not? That's insane to me. That's not who he is, who he ever was. And if you think that's a lack of leadership, you're out of your mind. Clean out your eyes and your ears and notice that this guy leads by example. He's a consummate professional, and he's the real deal. If you don't understand that, you're missing the plot. And you know who came out and spoke out on his behalf recently? The great Paul o' Neill is like anyone that criticizes this guy as a leader, knows nothing about baseball, knows nothing about how he's viewed by his peers and his and his teammates.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron Judge's biggest defender, Steve Cavino and Paul o'. Neill.

[Steve Covino]

Because this story is hogwash. You know the stuff I use in the shower to clean my junk?

[Rich Davis]

Hogwash.

[Steve Covino]

I'm going to give it to you to use on your face to clean out your mouth because you're talking smack. Hogwash. You're hating on. This is the problem with the world, not just Aaron Judge. We love our default settings to hate on stuff. You're hating on a guy who does everything right. Get a life, losers. You guys are anyone criticizing Aaron Judge? Loser. I want to see the slob. You're the same slob that's that's criticizing pageant models as they're walking down the Runway. Let's see what you're doing. Let's see how great you're saying.

[Rich Davis]

We're the equivalent.

[Steve Covino]

You look like if you criticize Aaron Judge's speech, you're saying, nobody better than.

[Rich Davis]

You're saying. It's the equivalent of a fatso criticizing a Runway model.

[Steve Covino]

He's a treasure. You know what we should be doing? Applauding this guy. He's the captain of Team usa. Rooting him on. Rooting against Aaron Judge is un American. He just set up losers.

[Rich Davis]

I thought.

[Steve Covino]

All rise and celebrate this man because he plays the game, supposedly.

[Rich Davis]

I got to stand, Judge.

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Webull/IFLAG Sponsor Voice]

Judgment Day.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, Judgment Day.

[Steve Covino]

Who said he has to be a dynamic speaker? He's a leader on the field. He's a baseball player. He's not doing TED Talks. He's not hosting on Fox Sports Radio. He hits home runs.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, Kavito defending Aaron Judge

[Steve Covino]

because it's a joke. People are gross.

[Rich Davis]

But I feel like you would defend Aaron Judge harder than, like, your girlfriend, your kid, your family.

[Steve Covino]

Example of people being his publicist. That's right. Perfect. Aaron Judge. I'll be your publicist because you believe in Aaron Judge. That's right. Genuinely, I absolutely do. And I believe that he's going to lead Team USA to their second World Baseball Classic. Dude, Team Japan has won three years in a row. Instead of backing this guy up, you're criticizing him. Let's see your credentials. I want to see your credentials. I want to see who you are criticizing. Aaron Judge. And if you missed his speech, that's getting all this criticism. Take a listen. Aaron Judge addressing his teammates.

[Rich Davis]

Sacrifice for your family at home.

[Danny G (Producer)]

You're sacrificing for your country, and you're sacrificing for the brothers in the trenches with you.

[Rich Davis]

That's one thing I want us to do.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Fellas.

[Rich Davis]

You know, we're down. We're beat up a little bit, man. You know, lean into each other, man.

[Danny G (Producer)]

We're going to lay it out of the line if we do that.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, calm, cool, collected. He want to see your cheerleader. He's a player on the team. And by the way, people are. This is out of context. People like, this is his. His pep rally speech. His. No, they just got there, and he's addressing the team. The games don't start till Friday. You don't think that they're going to have another. Is the lead story today. Not that people are criticizing Aaron Judge.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, it is.

[Steve Covino]

Why should I relax? It's ridiculous. Criticize people that should be criticized. Not Aaron Judge.

[Rich Davis]

Aaron Judge gonna get up in the final game of the World Baseball Classic, and Ohtani is going to strike him out this time. Same way he struck out Mike Trout.

[Steve Covino]

Shohei Ohtani. Shohei's not pitching the line. You never know.

[Rich Davis]

If the moment calls, the moment calls for it.

[Steve Covino]

I was wondering about that. Oh, Danny, here's a good question, by the way. Don't sleep on the pride. Did you see Shohei crying when they played the Japanese national anthem? Like, these guys are playing with an immense amount of pride. And instead of. Instead of backing up Aaron Judge, who's saying, yo, we got to carry this USA Hockey team momentum to our baseball squad here. It means a lot to where the. The USA jersey. Instead of backing him up, we're criticizing the guy. What a bunch of weenies you are. Sports weenies.

[Rich Davis]

Here's my question for you. In a time where there's a lot going on in the world politically, war, you know, depositions with presidents, like, there's a lot of. There's a lot going on. Sports is an amazing distraction that we all need here and there from. From real life. So let me ask you this. And a good unifier, right? Usa. Usa. Hit it, Sam. So here's my question to you, Daniel G. Which, by the way, they credit the USA chant to the 1980 men's hockey team. Apparently, before that, no one's ever chanted usa. I find that crazy, but it's true.

[Steve Covino]

It's according to Al Michaels, right?

[Webull/IFLAG Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So here's my question. Danny, you're the biggest Dodgers fan.

[Steve Covino]

I know one of them.

[Rich Davis]

I play softball with a guy that I think lives at Dodger Stadium. I might actually live there. So it comes down to the final moment of the World Baseball Classic.

[Danny G (Producer)]

I know where you're going.

[Rich Davis]

Team USA But Ohtani's either pitching or at the plate in the biggest moment. Are you rooting for Ohtani? He's your guy. Or are you rooting for Team usa

[Danny G (Producer)]

I'm rooting for Team USA Yeah, absolutely.

[Steve Covino]

I think that's a pretty easy answer right there.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I should be. It's a good question. I mean, he's not playing, but, no, he's not playing in the. In the Classic this year. But I think to myself, like, what if Francisco Lindor or Soto or one of my favorite guys was up there in that moment?

[Steve Covino]

It's a tough one. I get it. Because you root for them. Personally, I get it.

[Rich Davis]

Like Danny spends 162 games a year rooting for Ohtani. Now all of a sudden you're rooting for, I don't know, Nolan McClain to strike out Ohtan. If it came down to it, you should be angry.

[Steve Covino]

And you could think about this hypothetical and chime in at 87799 on Fox, but you should be angry that in something we should all get behind. Your first default is to criticize his speech. And it's not a pep talk. That was like they just all got together for the first time and he's addressing the team.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, listen, dude, it's a slow news day. What do you want to talk about? Bill Clinton in front of a deposition?

[Steve Covino]

You should also be frowning upon everybody else. Like, what's wrong with you?

[Rich Davis]

What do you want to talk about? The fake Jim Carrey? What do you want to talk about? What do you want to talk about? Shallow, buff, being scared of big gay guys? What do you want to talk about?

[Steve Covino]

That's great.

[Rich Davis]

These are all great stories.

[Isaac Loincron]

I thought Mike Piazza dispelled that rumor back during his playing days, remember?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's funny who I talk about.

[Steve Covino]

I want to talk about fondue. I really don't rock with fondue. I like tacos deep on a taco Tuesday.

[Rich Davis]

To quote Shia LaBeouf.

[Steve Covino]

To quote Shia LaBeouf.

[Rich Davis]

But no, these are.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Let's talk about McDonald's new burger.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, Orange burger.

[Rich Davis]

Before the end.

[Steve Covino]

Before the end of the week.

[Rich Davis]

Could we try that burger on the

[Danny G (Producer)]

air we talked about in our pre show meeting? We're going to bring in the arch for all of us and we're going to take a real man's bite out of this thing, I feel.

[Steve Covino]

But it's embarrassing. You think other countries are criticizing the leader of their team? You think there's other countries out there? Like, yeah, you know, Team Mexico, we like them. But a Rosa Reina, he just doesn't bring the, the. The pep talks that we need. Like, get out of here. They're just full of pride and excited to see Team Mexico. Look at that, dude.

[Rich Davis]

I won't.

[Steve Covino]

Jaron Duran, dude.

[Rich Davis]

I won't criticize Alejandro Kirk.

[Steve Covino]

No, it's not you, dude.

[Rich Davis]

It's everybody.

[Steve Covino]

Everyone criticizing Aaron Judge should be embarrassed, honestly, because that guy is a true example of what it is to be a winner.

[Rich Davis]

I won't criticize Judge, but could I criticize the CEO of McDonald's who took that weak ass bite of the burger?

[Steve Covino]

That guy stinks. Yeah, that guy. Speaking of weenies. What a weenie. That dude, eat a burger like a man.

[Webull/IFLAG Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Danny G (Producer)]

He eats at upscale steakhouse restaurants.

[Steve Covino]

I say, eat a burger like a man. Meanwhile, I order lettuce wrapped burgers. Excuse me, can I have a burger, no bun, please.

[Rich Davis]

Until, of course, all of a sudden, Cavino Rich, sponsor at McDonald's. Then this guy's the great people.

[Steve Covino]

Not everybody knows that story, Rich. You got to give it some. The, the coo. He's kind of cool until I saw him eat this burger.

[Rich Davis]

The CEO of Mickey D's is talking about the, the launch of the Arch. Now, I don't know, is this the same as that Arch Deluxe we had as kids? No, because that was a good burger.

[Steve Covino]

The Archburger.

[Rich Davis]

The Archburger, is it got special sauce?

[Danny G (Producer)]

It's got arch sauce. And it is their largest burger now on the menu.

[Isaac Loincron]

So three slices of white cheddar cheese.

[Rich Davis]

Okay, so this looks like a taste, a tasty burger. So that's good sauce. That's definitely good sauce. Thank you, Dan. That was Ben Maller, by the way.

[Isaac Loincron]

That was Ben Maller.

[Rich Davis]

Why did it sound like Dan to me?

[Steve Covino]

Play it again.

[Rich Davis]

That's good sauce.

[Steve Covino]

A little bit.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Yeah, that's Mallor.

[Steve Covino]

Okay, this is a tasty burger.

[Rich Davis]

So this guy, the coup, the COO of Mickey D's, he's like, all right, let's try this.

[Steve Covino]

Rich is the foo of Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So he's a fool.

[Danny G (Producer)]

This is a tasty burger.

[Rich Davis]

He picks up this burger and you think he's about to take a big, like a man bite of this burger. He takes like the nibble.

[Steve Covino]

He takes a peck.

[Danny G (Producer)]

He lies to the camera and he says, this is my lunch. I'm gonna have lunch with you.

[Steve Covino]

And he sticks his tongue on it

[Rich Davis]

and he's like, eh. He takes a bite of a burger. He takes a bite of a burger like my little daughter would take.

[Steve Covino]

Like my two year old son Koa

[Danny G (Producer)]

takes a way bigger bite out of

[Isaac Loincron]

a burger than that.

[Steve Covino]

He took a little bunny nibble.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You know when you got little kids and you'll actually say to them like, come on, take a real. Come on.

[Danny G (Producer)]

It's more embarrassing because then he holds the burger closer to the camera to show the bite that he took out. Like, why are you showing that little tiny bite off?

[Steve Covino]

And in response, actually there's a follow up. The president of Burger King took a manly, savage bite of the Whopper just to show him how it was done. So yeah, there was a follow up to that. So no, I don't find that to be more Interesting than Aaron Judge getting criticism. I just think it's a great example, Rich, of the world we live in today, where you got to find something negative to talk about. You're looking for the clickbait. You're looking for people to agree with you. How about you focus on something positive for once?

[Rich Davis]

I'm picturing I was Sam eating a burger, and it sounds like a cartoon character.

[Steve Covino]

So stupid. All right, anyway, these are the big stories today.

[Rich Davis]

Criticize that guy, not Aaron Judge. I'll listen. I just think it's funny that you defend this guy like he's your brother. Aaron Judge.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Gross.

[Rich Davis]

He's a good leader. He's a great player, you know? Will he come up in the big moment? Last year in the playoffs? I gotta be honest.

[Isaac Loincron]

He played big.

[Rich Davis]

The Yankees didn't play big. He played big. So this should be interesting. World Baseball Classic. You know what I'm calling it? Danny G. Now, sometimes you go to a nice dinner, and sometimes, ooh, the appetizer is as good as your entree. And then other times, the appetizer stinks. This World Baseball Classic to me is like an appetizer to the start of the MLB season. We don't know if it's going to be like, oh, man, you know, we should get more of that or those. All right, let's. I'm ready for baseball. So either way, I'm just excited that we get something cool to watch in a couple of days. Cause I'm caught up on everything as far as dumb shows. So baseball, baseball, here we come. And let's go.

[Steve Covino]

I got to tell you, man, the. The mature approach I took to this wbc. I don't like the Red Sox, but, you know, I was happy to see Roman Anthony out there with all these superstars. I'm like, look at this young guy. Go get him, buddy. Go get him out and represent Team usa. I didn't go and take the cheap route and say, screw that dude. He's a Red Sox. I hate him. You know? And that's what Barstool's doing. Barstool. Speaking out of both sides of their mouth. And I like them. I do. I like Barstool a lot.

[Rich Davis]

But KFC is my guy.

[Steve Covino]

On one side of their mouth, they're saying, it's sad to see people excited and rip on Captain America. Aaron Judge for his speech before Team USA's first workout. Right? It's sad to see him being criticized. In the very next tweet that I see, it's Dave Portnoy saying, worst speech Ever. I mean, so, you know, you got to put those differences aside. Roman, I'm not a Red Sox fan, but hey, man, I hope he lights it up in the wbc. That's. This is about. This is bigger than your stupid alliance to the Red Sox or the Yankees. This is USA playing Brazil, USA playing Japan. Maybe in the final, USA beating Mexico. We'll see what happens.

[Rich Davis]

Here's my question for you. And it's not even my question. It's from the guy who runs this place. Yeah. Hey, guys, I got a question.

[Steve Covino]

Never heard of him.

[Rich Davis]

Big Mike, who runs this place? Who came in and he goes, oh, guys, I got the hot question for you.

[Steve Covino]

You know the guy that split his pants in the office yesterday?

[Rich Davis]

Did we tell you that story?

[Steve Covino]

No, we didn't get.

[Danny G (Producer)]

We didn't get to that story yesterday.

[Steve Covino]

SpongeBob SquarePants. Oh, I split my pants.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Best part was we. We saw him run to his truck out in the parking garage, and Covino said, does he have spare pants?

[Isaac Loincron]

He.

[Steve Covino]

In his truck, he has like 1970s disco pants as spares.

[Rich Davis]

Like, remember in the nurse's office when you're a kid, if some kid peed his pants, he came back wearing like weird corduroy pants.

[Guest or Contributor]

Polyester.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, polyester. Uncle Floyd pants.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, Little Ernie peed his pants. He's wearing something left over from the 70s.

[Steve Covino]

In the nurse's office, he actually came back with a sweat jacket, a zip up tied around his waist. Like a girl with a fat booty trying to hide it. He was trying to hide his. The rip in his ass.

[Rich Davis]

It's like the girl at the gym when she realizes you're looking at her. Yeah, Big Mike. He gets up from our pre show meeting yesterday. I. I thought I was seeing things. I was like, yo, Mike, you freel? He goes, what? I was like, did you do you split your pants? Like, spongebob goes, what? And this wasn't a little split. Like, I saw the dude's tighty whities. It was from, like the pocket, like down the leg. And I'm like, you're not feeling a little draft or something? So, yeah, Big Mike, the guy who splits his pants, he said the big hubbub. The big fuss around the super bowl, said hubbub.

[Steve Covino]

Vato still say hubbub, bro.

[Rich Davis]

He's not a vato.

[Steve Covino]

Vatos don't say hubbub.

[Rich Davis]

He's like a stone cold looking guy in his.

[Steve Covino]

What?

[Rich Davis]

How old is Mike? 72.

[Steve Covino]

You said hubbub. Mike didn't say hubbub. Big Mike, hubbub That's Rich's favorite word, bro.

[Rich Davis]

He goes, during the super bowl halftime show, what did we hear a million times? The cultural narrative was, hey, Puerto Rico's part of the United States. It's a territory. It's part of who we are. Bad bunny.

[Steve Covino]

Well, because, yeah, the response to anyone ignorant like, why don'. It's like, well, hold on there, Cletus. Puerto Rico is a part of the United States.

[Rich Davis]

So Big Mike's like, well, why can't we absorb their players? Why do they have their own team? And I was like, well, that's a good point, I guess, because it feels like it's so far away and it's not connected to the United States.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know if it's a technical answer other than it's a territory and it feels very separate still. And there's a lot of Puerto Rico pride where they play for their own. It's their own.

[Rich Davis]

Because Mike's thought was deal.

[Steve Covino]

I don't know the real answer, though.

[Isaac Loincron]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

He said, what if we absorbed Team Puerto Rico? And they were, you know, some of those stars are on Team usa. And he's like, then we definitely win.

[Steve Covino]

I think we have a great shot at winning anyway. Even though I think the power rankings came out and Team Japan is still number one, USA number two. So again, instead of like, talking on Aaron Judge the first day they get there, I think we need to back. People are out to get usa. We got to back them up on this.

[Rich Davis]

You know, I think the narrative could

[Steve Covino]

be we got some great, great players, man.

[Rich Davis]

There's a lot of guys that will never leave. But do you think we're going to all know the name of some Japanese star other than Ohtani? Like, we, you know, we know some that have come here to the States to play, but you think there's one. Do we just not know the name of maybe one young superstar on Team Japan? That's like, they would never leave Japan, but we're all going to be like, oh, man, that's the guy.

[Guest or Contributor]

Likely.

[Steve Covino]

I think so.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, if you tell me they're favored, it's not just Ohtani. It's a roster, which means there's going to be somewhere. We're all going to be like, that guy's a player.

[Steve Covino]

It's going to be great.

[Rich Davis]

So, hey, let's look forward to it. We're trying to hype you up because

[Steve Covino]

if anyone knows the answer to why Puerto Rico separate, by all means, this

[Danny G (Producer)]

is according to CBS Sports, and I'll double check Another source, but it says insurance issues. Puerto Rico's not part of the USA WBC team due to insurance issues affecting several key players.

[Steve Covino]

Well, I know Lindor was having those same issues because it was bad. Bunny was willing to front the insurance money for a lot of the players dealing with those issues, but it couldn't happen. Yep, that was a true story.

[Rich Davis]

Well, enjoy the World Baseball Classic. We got a bunch more coming up on the show. We are going to talk about someone who wants to cancel Magic City Mondays in the NBA. Is the person being a nerd or are they being an ally of women? We'll, we'll, we'll decide.

[Steve Covino]

It's an interesting story. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So we'll talk a little NBA, little Magic City and more next. All here, Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

[Steve Covino]

Have you ever wiped with a piece of dry single ply toilet paper and wondered is this as good as it gets? Well, guess what.

[Isaac Loincron]

My pants.

[Steve Covino]

My pants split. It gets a lot better thanks to the wet extra large cleaning power of Dude Wipes.

[Rich Davis]

And when you say they're extra large, they mean business. No matter what the size of your mess, from top to bottom, dudes has you covered with a confident clean. They comfortably clean up whatever TP leaves behind. So no more maintenance.

[Steve Covino]

Wipes debris, no way. Irritation? Not a chance. And it's time to make the trade of the season and switch from TP to wet extra large dude wipes.

[Rich Davis]

You guys start experiencing confident clean of dude wipes made from 100% plant based natural fibers. Coming in a variety of scents like mint chill and Shay Shay butter.

And again, I think this whole Aaron Judge isn't getting everybody fired up thing is so blown out of proportion. In fact, I really thought it was great until today and I started seeing all this negative feedback about how boring he is. Look, no one said that he's the most charismatic guy, but he's a hell of a guy and he's a great leader and he puts up great numbers and he speaks from the heart. And remember, this is a welcoming speech. But don't you all, hey, welcome Team usa. Let's go get him. This isn't a pep talk.

[Rich Davis]

It also makes you realize how special guys like Jamie Jameis Winston are and how why do we got to compare

[Steve Covino]

him to a guy in the NFL that has nothing to do with this. That's like, what does it have to do with the price of bananas? You want to talk about that? They're outrageous.

[Rich Davis]

No, but I do want to talk. But I, I do want to talk about Jim Carrey one more second.

[Steve Covino]

I think the real crime, rich, is the USA jersey. I believe is selling for over $400. And I don't think you can get it until after the wbc.

[Rich Davis]

So first of all overpriced and then you can't even get it until later.

[Steve Covino]

That's what I'm reading. Is that baseball or hockey jersey? No, the. The Team USA World Baseball Classic jersey. So I guess Nike. This is what I've heard. Nike didn't make enough of those hockey jerseys.

[Isaac Loincron]

Yes.

[Steve Covino]

And people, they didn't think that they would beat Canada, so they were like

[Danny G (Producer)]

not enough of them.

[Steve Covino]

I'll try to double check all this, but that's the stuff I'm reading. Not just seeing social media.

[Rich Davis]

Call me crazy, but I'm not a fan of those one off jerseys. I know people that are collectors are. And people that rock a bunch of different ones, but I don't know, like all star jerseys, World Baseball Classic jerseys. To me, you got your team, you buy the homer road jersey.

[Steve Covino]

You don't even wear baseball hats. So why would I expect you to be the jersey guy?

[Danny G (Producer)]

You're right, Covino. Just a couple of different websites here saying $419.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, that's the real shame.

[Danny G (Producer)]

They won't ship until April.

[Steve Covino]

Forget about Aaron Judge not bringing the heat. Welcoming everybody. That's ridiculous. The fact that you have to pay 400. It's a sweet jersey, I'll give him that. I like the. I like the jersey.

[Danny G (Producer)]

It is not for. Yeah, not $419.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, maybe $119.

[Steve Covino]

It's unpatriotic, that price. Come on, dude.

[Danny G (Producer)]

219. 220 Jersey.

[Rich Davis]

I ain't paying for that. I hear you, Rob. I have one Jim Carrey. Thought we were talking about how the imposter rumors were all over social media. Yeah, that's not even the weirdest Jim Carrey story of the day.

[Steve Covino]

I think the weirdest Jim Carrey story is that his son in Liar Liar works here at Fox Sports Radio. He does?

[Isaac Loincron]

Yeah.

[Webull/IFLAG Sponsor Voice]

Justin Cooper.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Maximilian. Are you okay?

[Rich Davis]

Rich, I can't believe.

[Steve Covino]

Have you heard that for the first time?

[Rich Davis]

I remember it just dawned on me now. Then I should go up to him and be like the call.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, I'm sure he's heard that his entire life.

[Rich Davis]

I'm sure he'll want to hear it one more time from me. All right. We all loved Acer and Torah, correct?

[Steve Covino]

Absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Finkel's Einhorn. Einhorn's Finkel. Can I ask you a few questions? I mean, we quoted that bad boy our whole childhood. Here's my question. In the second movie do you remember the funniest scene, possibly Jim Carrey ever did?

[Steve Covino]

Yes, the rhino.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

There was a family on a little safari. That's number two. Yeah. The second one. Remember, he squeezed out of the rhino's tuchus a little rubber hole because the

[Steve Covino]

door wouldn't open, and the whole thing just stopped working. Pure comedy genius. That might be the greatest comedic scene of our lifetime.

[Rich Davis]

Of Jim Carrey's physical comedy, there might not be anything funnier than him being birthed out of a rhino's ass.

[Steve Covino]

That's so dumb.

[Rich Davis]

Do you know the rhino used is going for auction at one of those movie auctions, and people, they're saying it's probably going to go for about $10,000. Imagine.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like Fox Sports Radio should buy and Rich should come out, and that's how we should start the show every day. I feel like it's fitting for you. Good afternoon, everybody.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, guys. Here we are. Welcome to the show. Rich has to be bound to his tighty whities and completely lathered up in sweat. And, you know, I think we should rent it for our next big event. And you should come out of it.

[Rich Davis]

That's how we enter. Yeah. Next time we do a big listener

[Steve Covino]

event, one by one.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, where's R. Rich? And the rhino comes out.

[Steve Covino]

I think. I think that'd be great.

[Rich Davis]

But I mean, of all the bragging rights, I always talk about how, like, you know, if you have a man cave a lot, the Dan Patrick, you know, man cave, or for your guy that has a cool den or office or garage, I just don't know. No matter what level of rich or baller you are, like, who gets that? How do you display that, too? Who gets the rhino?

[Steve Covino]

Like, oh, Ken golden bought it for his collectibles. That's that Rick from Pawn Stars is selling it.

[Rich Davis]

Like, if you told me, oh, dude, I got Indiana Jones's Mike Wolf needs it shop. If you said, oh, that's Indiana Jones's whip and hat, or, yo, Rocky Balboa's red, white and blue trunk.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you know who? Like, these are crazy film collectors. Crazy Jim Carrey fans. Yeah, but. And not only that, international. Like, Jim Carrey is an international celebrity. So someone wants.

[Rich Davis]

But we've talked about some of the coolest memorabilia items. I just wonder, like, under what circumstances would someone be like, I need it. What do you need? The Ace Venture two prosthetic rhino.

[Steve Covino]

The prosthetic rhino for sale with the big gaping hole in the back.

[Rich Davis]

Whoa, he said gaping hole, not me. All Right. Let's go to ilo. Speaking of which, for an update. Ilo, what's going on, man?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, buddy.

[Isaac Loincron]

Lot going on, fellas. In the National Football League today, the Arizona Cardinals informed quarterback Kyler Murray that they will be releasing him. Murray posting on social media quote, I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77 year drought for this organization. I am sorry. I failed us. I wish this community and my brothers nothing but the. You don't have to ask permission to speak on your own show, by the way.

[Rich Davis]

I raise my hand. I'm respectful. You're the news anchor with the most.

[Isaac Loincron]

I appreciate that. Right you are.

[Rich Davis]

Isaac, I did see a rumor. I don't know if this is. I just follow Jimmy Garoppolo. Handsome updates on social media. There's a rumor that he has a relationship with their new coach and they might use Garoppolo. They may try to grab Garoppolo as like a place filler until they figure out what's next. Is that. Dig into that. Maybe. That might be because they're saying Jimmy

[Isaac Loincron]

Garoppolo, they could do worse, right?

[Rich Davis]

They're thinking he might be a placeholder until they figure out what's next in Arizona.

[Isaac Loincron]

I can't see how they could do much worse, given his background with Mike LaFleur and their connection with the floor.

[Rich Davis]

Have a relationship and Garoppolo is a suitable quarterback. He's not the guy that's going to take you there, but it might be a good placeholder.

[Isaac Loincron]

I hate to open this can of worms, but you know whose day you just made? All your female listeners in the state of Arizona.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, they're getting all fired up. Yeah, that's his next stop alone, Jimmy. That's his next stop alone.

[Isaac Loincron]

So you're saying there's a chance. The Indianapolis Colts placed a $37.8 million transition tag on quarterback Daniel Jones. Meaning if Jones signs an offer sheet with another team, Colts would have the opportunity to match it. Bengals did not use the franchise tag on defensive end Trey Hendrickson, making him an unrestricted free agent. Hendrickson, in fact, posted a goodbye message to Cincinnati on social media. The Seahawks did used the franchise tag on Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker. That makes him an unrestricted free agent as well. The New York jets placed the franchise tag on running back Breece Hall. And finally, ESPN reported Chicago Bears Pro bowl center Drew Dahlman is retiring after just five seasons in the NFL. Guys, all yours.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you. Isaac.

[Rich Davis]

Isaac, Another quarterback. Not to put you on the spot, another quarterback I'm so intrigued by that. We heard nothing about him recently.

[Steve Covino]

Another handsome guy.

[Rich Davis]

No, he's a handsome guy. Young man.

[Steve Covino]

Rich loves handsome quarterbacks for some reason.

[Isaac Loincron]

Who doesn't?

[Rich Davis]

I collect them. Yes.

[Steve Covino]

You know Sam Hartman from Notre Dame? Remember that guy? Rich loved him.

[Isaac Loincron]

All right, I'm Googling him.

[Rich Davis]

I'm a confident straight man. I'm allowed to collect handsome quarterbacks.

[Steve Covino]

Great head of hair.

[Isaac Loincron]

Good beard game. Good hair game.

[Rich Davis]

Other than that, what happened to Anthony Richardson? This guy had such high hopes. Daniel Jones, the pivot. He did well. And now it's almost like, is that experiment over? Is it just like that?

[Isaac Loincron]

It's like a lot of people, it's injuries. I mean, the NFL can be so ruthless in the sense that a phrase you hear a lot in the NFL and not really to that extent in any sport is like your number one attribute is your availability in the NFL. It's more true than the NFL than in any other sport. And not the case for Anthony Richardson. I think that's the primary thing.

[Rich Davis]

If he is available, you tell me that there's not a team that still sees something in him. I mean, he was supposed to be the guy that changed around the Colts. Gets injured. A couple. One freak injury, right? With the resistance band and the eyeball and whatever eye socket.

[Isaac Loincron]

Like maybe one of the unluckiest injuries of all time. It was the shoulder. That is part of this discussion. That was a separate thing.

[Rich Davis]

But yes, he was a bit reckless, like a la. We're hoping doesn't happen to Jackson Dart, a young athletic guy that just puts his body out there. But you tell me, Anthony Richardson, that that story's done. It can't be. I mean, unless everyone saw something. I'm not seeing, like, yeah, it's a. Talent's not what we thought it was. Like, they pivoted very quickly away from him.

[Isaac Loincron]

And I will say this, I'm not saying it's going to happen here, but so often in the NFL, it's so crucial. The situation you go into as a rookie and we see quarterbacks get misused and it looks like their career is over, and then they get into a situation that fits with maybe a better organization supporting cast and coaching, and they flourish a la Baker, Mayf and Sam Darnold.

[Rich Davis]

And there's so many. There's so many guys that you would think maybe a guy like Anthony Richardson goes to sleep at night thinking like, all right, this, it's not over. And, you know, there's multiple guys that you could cite now that have had other chances but just interesting. Thank you. I got more Cavino and Rich. We are going to play a Tuesday edition game. We usually play on Mondays. I'm excited about this last one standing. We're going to roll with that today. And someone wants to cancel cancel Magic City Monday.

[Steve Covino]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

This is a fun thing we'll get to next. What do you think?

[Steve Covino]

This sounds like a page out of my mom's book. I got a story about my mom. I'll tell you about that.

[Rich Davis]

A Kavino mom story is always a good one. So we'll do that next. More Covino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaking of World Baseball Classic, Team USA clobbering the San Francisco Giants. When was that? Is that live? I saw Roman Anthony hit a bomb, but they're clobbering them anyway. This song makes me think of Magic City, bro. We're going to be talking about it. Iowa Sam on the ones and twos. Let's hear it for Iowa Sam. Sammy, sweetheart and of course super producer Danny G is here. It's time for our tyrant play of the day, Covino and Rich on FOX Sports Radio. Number one ranked Duke keeps rolling 10 seconds now.

Wow.

[Rich Davis]

Now we're going to talk Magic City and promotion. But you have a story about your mom, because she said this is right up your mom's alley. And I know the story you're gonna tell, and it cracks me up.

[Isaac Loincron]

I do.

[Steve Covino]

Rich and I have been doing this a long time, so he knows most of my stories. But shout out to my mom, Hortensia. Actually, my mom and dad celebrate 50 years of marriage this week on the 6th. Do you believe that in today's world, that's 150 years.

[Isaac Loincron]

Damn.

[Webull/IFLAG Sponsor Voice]

50.

[Steve Covino]

God bless my dad for putting up with Hortensia. Kiss off, Hortensia. Busted my chops. So 50, huh? When my mom's not busting my dad's chops for all these years, right? There was a. There was a time in life.

[Rich Davis]

True story.

[Steve Covino]

Story. I grew up in Union, New Jersey, home of Ray Liotta, Artie Lang, Robert Wohl and your boy. Me and the world's tallest water sphere. They decided to put up a nudie bar, like, not too far away from where I grew up. Like on the main street of where I grew up, but, like maybe a five minute walk from my house.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Now, was it going to be topless with alcohol or fully nude with soda?

[Steve Covino]

I think it was an alcohol establishment. It wasn't like, bring your own beer fully nude establishment. It wasn't one of those. But we have one of those connected to a bowling alley. We had one of those. Yeah, yeah, we had one of those called Hot 22.

[Rich Davis]

Watch where your fingers go. What did we.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, no, no.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. There was a bowling alley connected to a fully nude strip.

[Steve Covino]

That's what you call the Saturday night growing up in Union, but there was a new place opening up. Oh, sorry. Neighborhood. So there's a difference there. This is like in the neighborhood kind of. Right? You believe that There was like, protests.

[Rich Davis]

Where can you get your balls clean there.

[Steve Covino]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

No, Your bowling balls. On the bowling alley side of it. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

There was protests. And who was leading the charge? My mom and my Teddy. Yeah, my mom, like, you know, trying to shut down this strip joint because, you know, she didn't want her Steven and his friends to be out there. This is for my son's future.

[Isaac Loincron]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So mom had a picket sign.

[Steve Covino]

My buddies were hitting me up like, dude, what's your mom doing?

[Rich Davis]

She's ruining everything.

[Steve Covino]

And my mom was out there, you know, trying to close down this place. And you know what? It worked, because that place did not last. It was shut down. And that just is to prove a point. Not everybody's so pumped about Magic City night in Atlanta. And if you don't know what that is, it's a gentleman's establishment in Atlanta. The Atlanta Hawks are involving a whole promotional night around it.

[Danny G (Producer)]

There's no women involved with the actual Atlanta Hawks promotion.

[Rich Davis]

You're right, but you're promoting. Promoting a backstory. The whole backstory is that it's a famous place in Atlanta that is known, obviously, for it's being a strip club, but also their lemon pepper wings. It's like, the joke is that they have good food, and it's a very notable cultural spot in the town.

[Danny G (Producer)]

Yeah, it's a hot spot. It's a place to be.

[Rich Davis]

I can't. I can't think of another city, to be honest, where their main gentleman's club is so well known.

[Steve Covino]

Scores. Was well known scores in New York City.

[Rich Davis]

Like, Howard Stern and Ronnie the Limo Dr. Driver would talk about it.

[Isaac Loincron]

Rangers went there after they won the Stanley cup. Allegedly.

[Steve Covino]

Scores was a. Was a big one for a minute, But Magic City is like, a staple,

[Rich Davis]

maybe like Spearmint Rhino or Sapphire in Vegas, but when it comes to, you know, adult establishments, Magic City is probably like.

[Steve Covino]

Like a landmark.

[Rich Davis]

If Steve Harvey and his mustache came out here and said, top five answer on the board. Magic City Atlanta is the top. Is the top five. The Atlanta Hawks have partnered up. As Danny said, no women involved, but they're serving lemon pepper wings, and they are paying tribute to the community. And part of that community coming up

[Steve Covino]

On Monday the 16th TI is performing, too. Like, they got entertainers, they got DJs. They're trying to bring that vibe, minus the women, to the game.

[Rich Davis]

Now, there is one particular player that has stepped forward. And coming up, I want to read you his statement, because.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it's not my mom.

[Rich Davis]

I am so torn. Yeah, this is Steve Kavino's mom. Is emailing us as we speak, even

[Steve Covino]

though I'm sure my mom's on this player's side.

[Rich Davis]

There's a player, Luke Cornett of the spurs, and he has a statement and I want to decide is this guy a nerd or a fan of women? Who knows?
