Right now use promo code CRShow CRShow to claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again as promo code CR show at DraftKings. The Crown is yours. So we were talking a lot about nostalgia and how the NBA leaned in hard last night round Ball Rock, Michael Jordan's little sit down with Mike Tirico and we talked about the balance quite a bit, about how if the NBA balances it correctly, it's going to be fantastic, right? If they do a little bit of nostalgia but really highlight the new stars, we'll be all good. We'll be all good. Someone hit us up right before the break and said, yeah, I don't think people are creative anymore and I just think that's a BS thing. I think people are more creative than ever. You see more funny videos on the daily on TikTok than like a Saturday Night Live will ever supply you with. Everyone's very creative. You see what people do on social media. Everyone's funny, everyone's creative. It's a competitive world because everyone has an outlet. I just think creativity isn't necessarily rewarded because if I ask you what do you think the biggest grossing movies in the theater and Netflix were over the last handful of years and I gave you the list of them. There's a commonality. Can you tell me what the commonality is with these movies? Top Gun, Maverick? Not original. They're familiarity, but that's just Mario Brothers. That proves the other guy's point. Spider Man Barbie, which is just a concept of a doll that's been around forever. Happy Gilmore 2 Beverly Hills Cup 4 Axle F. Coming to America. That doesn't prove the guy's point. It does because it's that work harder, work smarter, not harder mentality of just hey, let's regurgitate some stuff because we it'll sell tickets. No, it's people taking a chance. This major movie companies don't want to take chances on things that are original. It's not a matter of Lack of creativity. It's a lack of a movie studio is going to say, wow, you have a really cool creative idea about a drama. Yeah, that might be the dopest script of all time. But we're going to go with. So, I mean, people, the new Beverly Hills Coppins, still creative, but production companies are not in it for the money. Making it seem like people are less creative. That's. I think that's ridiculous. I think it's just that it's safety and nostalgia, which proves multiple points we've made. People love it. Well, we'll wrap it up with your phone calls because there's an in between. There's a balance, like Rich said. Remember, if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, tell your friends about the Covino and Rich show and make the iHeartRadio app your number one preset. I have a question. And we'll wrap it up with Manny B. And Manny in El Paso. Manny, what's your question first? No, go to Manny, and then I'll end with a little deep thought for you. What's up, Manny? Manny faces. What up, man? How are we doing? How we doing? First of all, the NBA back in the day was a bit more fun than it is today. Now, I remember the commercials or they had the slogan that they had celebrities come out like, NBA. It's fantastic. I mean, come on. They brought John Cash's theme song back. That was always a banger in back in the day. And still today, the only thing that one of my nephews and I talk about a lot is, for example, Shaq and Charles have this habit of downgrading today's NBA Instead of promoting it, trying to make the stars shine a little bit more. They. They downplay, oh, it's not like we used to be. Oh, it's not. They're not as Dude. We brought that point up. And I'm glad you echoed it, Manny, because there's a big difference. You know what? Major League baseball does the opposite. When I hear broadcasters. A great example, Ron Darling, I would say Ron Darling did a really great job of that. Ron Darling on tbs and he's, you know, on the usual sny for the Mets. Ron Darling's quick to say, Yo, I threw 92 and I had two pitches. These guys are throwing 102 and they have four pitches. He's very quick to want to give props to. Yo, these guys could play. Except for Jeter. He's like, bets can't do that jump step as good as me. Except angry old dudes Like Derek Jeter, but some great points, Manny. You're not wrong about that. What was my question for you? I don't know. But you did say you had a question to wrap up nostalgia. What question? Probably about regurgitating old ideas. Next question. Oh, yeah. Thank you, Hollywood. You very well could have an Xbox, a PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Why do you, Steve Covino, like to break out your little handheld device that has every Nintendo game ever loaded? Because there's something comforting about nostalgia. It's not better. You think Bases Loaded is better than. Than MLB the show. You think. You think baseball stars original is more of a financial risk, and you're more guaranteed a slam dunk with something that's familiar with other people. I'm just saying I play. Yeah, the audience wants it. I play MLB the show with my kid once in a while now. And to think of that compared to RBI baseball, what were we playing? What did we think was good? Trust me, things are better now. It's just the nostalgia really hit you in the cortisone. All right, so the rest of your thoughts. Ovinoenrich on social media ox sports radio. And we got a live chat going on our YouTube page. Covinoenrich FSR on YouTube. Now, I want you to stick around because we do midweek major every Wednesday. The biggest stories in sports and pop culture, we decide here on the show collectively are these stories mid week or major? By the way, we might have to rebrand the show because kids are using different words all the time. We have to call it like chopped fire. Oh, we're changing it. Okay. Or valid. Oh, okay. You know, yeah, we gotta. We gotta come up with something new. Maybe it's chopped, bro. Yeah, we gotta figure out weak or chopped cove. I say we keep it and we tell the kids what to say. All right, fine, we'll do that. So stick around for those stories. But something else we do every Wednesday is why don't we spread the wisdom? Rich Mike's words of wisdom. 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. Now I have to implore people. If you're not watching on the YouTube page, YouTube.comrichfsr I say that because Mike has now decided he's gonna stick around on Wednesdays because he doesn't rob you of seeing him of the live Experience. Yes. I am a beautiful man. That's right. And you could see Covino play the pan flute. Yes, I learned from Zamfir. Only the best. So, Mike, your words of wisdom live and on the YouTube chat as we do this. Let's go. Real peace is choosing not to wreck things when you could. If you aren't capable of wrecking things, you're not peaceful. You're just a houseplant. Oh, my goodness. Now, hold on. If you could repeat that verbatim. You win. By the way, I don't even think Mike could repeat that one for me. Turbo Balls are really nice, man. They got a nice, firm grip. We didn't get our full official inventory, but these are what they look like. Yeah, well, that. It's gonna be a different color, but yeah. This is the prototype. The shipment is on the way in case you won one. So if you could repeat that word for word. I think we have him do it one more time. Yeah. Not only do you need to do it again, I didn't even understand it. I was like. I was so. The music and everything, I was like. It's deep. All right. Super deep. All right. Hit the flutes. Here we go. Real peace is choosing not to wreck things when you could. If you aren't capable of wrecking things, you're not peaceful. You're just a houseplant. Oh, man. Wow. I'm sort of blown away by that one. Eight, seven, seven. All right. Nine, nine on fox. Understand it. Deliver it verbatim, and you win a prize. I don't understand it. I really don't. Okay, you already explained to you, but don't repeat it. Just basically, in order to be a peaceful person, you have to be capable of violence. If you're not capable of violence, you're not peaceful. You're just a house plant. Right. You're just ineffectual. Ah, you're just a wuss. Yeah, okay, fair. Yeah, I like. You will understand it on your deathbed. Nice. Yeah. It's going to come to you one day. Thank you. So get it now. You know you want one of these Turbo Balls. Get a. Get a load of these. Get a load of these bad boys. If you could Repeat it verbatim. 8, 7, 7, 9, 9 on fox. 8, 7, 7,9, 9 on fox. Let's light them up. All right, now, while we wait for a winner in Mike's words, Wisdom. Mike, always great seeing you. Thank you, Mike. See you, guys. I don't care what Dan Byer says. You run this place to me. Yeah, well, that means a lot. I really appreciate it. That was my understanding when we started here. So Mike runs this place from who? Who? Covina? Who said that? Yeah. Just curious, out of curiosity, who said that man right there runs this place? It was the. I thought so. That's what I thought. That's exactly what I thought. Well, it certainly wasn't me. Maybe it happened in a dream. No, you told me back then that nobody told you guys that. It was just kind of implied. You just thought that. Well, yeah. Mike was always here. It's an easy assumption. He was always here. He has his own little office and. And he's way older than all this stuff. All right. He just called you wise. Yeah. With words of wisdom. Why you got wisdom? Thank you for running this place. Thanks for being our friend. Thank you. Now, before we get to midweek, major chopped before we get a winner on Mike's words of wisdom, I want to talk about Brock Purdy for a second. And I promise you I'm not going to go the typical 49 or QB conversation that every other jabroni has you Kyle Shanahan system. I get it. Kyle Shanahan is quarterback friendly. There's no doubt about it. When you really look back and you're like, interestingly enough, super handsome. But Jimmy Garoppolo is not a Super bowl level quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo really benefited from being a guy that knew how to play with Kyle Shanahan. Okay? You saw Trey, Lance couldn't really adapt. But when called Brock, Purdy became the guy, the guy that ended up getting the team to the Super Bowl. Multiple deep playoff runs, ends up getting 50, 60 million dollars. Unfortunately, turf toe has got the better of Brock this year so far. Yet my Niners hit it five and two. He's one and one, which means four and one for Mac Jones. They play the Texans and then the Giants. If Purdy's toe continues to irritate and you don't want to push it, and I know right now he practiced, but nothing's official. Let's just say Mac Jones plays the next two weeks and the 49ers are sitting at 7 and 2, 6 and 1 with Mac Jones. I'm not a fool. I'm not going to be like, it's a quarterback controversy. Are they going to bench Purdy? They're not going to bench Purdy if he's ready to go. But what does that say about Kyle Shanahan? What does it say about Mac Jones? What does it say about anyone? What? How do you decipher that do you decipher? Well, anyone with an ounce of talent can play under Kyle Shanahan. Do you interpret it as no. Matt Jones been underrated the whole time do it? I think that you just have to have that right chemistry. Do you look at it, say the kind of quarterback that could play under that kind of system? I think that's why it works. Mac Jones then based on man, if he did play two more weeks and he was 6 and 1, do you say Mac Jones then definitely deserves a shot to be a QB in the NFL or is there? Matt Jones also said that he's not trying to take Brock Purdy's job. It's Brock Purdy's job and he's just trying to do his best in the meantime. He did a great job. I think the way you need to look at it is he's providing a great luxury for no urgency to bring Brock Purdy back prematurely, giving him the perfect amount of time to heal. He's doing his job at the highest level you could do it. You're not missing Purdy and he's going to recover and hopefully come back and do just as good, if not better of a job. You Sam Darnold with the 49ers not on the field as much as you heard people say, you know, he could fit in pretty well with Shanahan. He goes and gets his chance in Minnesota, then goes, gets his deal for Dan by Seahawks. Is Sam Darnold a guy that, you know played under Shanahan and then, you know, Minnesota is a very offensive friendly system as well? Well, I would say this, that they're all kind of from those same sort of tentacles. So the Seahawks hire Clint Kubiak, who had worked with Kyle Shanahan and worked with Sam Darnold. So there was familiarity there. But I think it's, I think you guys are hitting on it. It's not that every quarterback works with Kyle Shanahan. It's the fact that the offense works so well if you could just have the quarterback do what he needs to do. And I don't want to be disrespectful to Brock Purdy and say, hey, why'd they go waste $50 million a year on Brock Purdy when they could have just had Mac Jones? Because it doesn't work like that. Right. You got to pay your guy when he' especially after you stalked him in that stairwell and told him you loved him. That is true. I also, I also think that the decisions between Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo were Different because, remember when Garoppolo was acquired, he won, like, the first six games with him, right? And then it was just the one throw that he would make or not be able to make, or the one mistake during a game that he would make that you just had. Had you scratching your head one time, Jimmy. There was always one. One decision a game where you're like, oh, and we look at Super Bowl 54, Emmanuel Sanders, right? Like, that's. That's what we do. Like, Trey Lance just was never going to work out. And Shanahan's talked about at least recently on why they thought the evaluation was a certain way. But Garoppolo wasn't as bad as people wanted. But Purdy could do. Purdy could make that throw. But I don't think he was that different than Jimmy Garoppolo because I just felt that Garoppolo was actually pretty decent with the 49ers. You know what I always think, too? DB Dan Byer is like, we started throwing terms around, like system quarterback around, like they were a bad thing. He's just a system quarterback. System quarterback. When in reality and in retrospect, if you're a system quarterback and you're able to play in that system and play effectively, man, look at. You think that's a bad thing? Like Brock Purdy's contract. Doesn't it make you an adaptable guy? It makes you an adaptable guy. I'm able to win under this system, and I think that it's like, remember how goat used to be a bad thing and now it stands for greatest of all time. We're going to look back and be like, remember, system, System quarterback was sort of insulting. If you're able to adapt, you're getting paid, man. If you're winning, that's all that matters. I don't know if it's adaptability, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's like being typecast. If you're in a sitcom for 10 years, how many actors would love to have been on a sitcom for 10 years? Granted, you're known for the rest of your life and maybe for your craft, that isn't. But there are a lot of people that would like to be in your spot. So if you work within that system, to your point, it's not a. It's not necessarily a bad thing. But we looked at it like, yeah, he's not a Cam Newton of sorts. Yeah, exactly. What did he really win? I mean, great. I'm not trying to take anything Away from him. But, you know, if you're that kind of guy, could you have played in a system? I don't know. And it's. And it. What it. What it does, though, Again, this is no insult to a Mac Jones or any other quarterback that is, quote, works in a system. I don't think that guy necessarily works. When free agency hits and they're like, all right, it's time for me to get paid, because you need another tentacle. Like you said, a guy that works in a system, like a Shanahan, one of the disciples of maybe that coaching tree. Because I don't think a Mac Jones could really just go anywhere. No. And be successful. Correct. He hasn't. Yeah. New England. That leaves Jacksonville. I mean, free agency. Weird. Sometimes. Yeah. Not that he had a fair shake at being the starter in Jacksonville, but he was able to move on and go to San Francisco. Yeah. So just an interesting thought that the Niners think it's great. Problems. Yeah, it is. Like, the Niners, Brock Purdy, a lot of room to get better. You know what? I wonder if Purdy could go somewhere else and play as well, because we haven't seen him on another team. That was always my thought to him by. And I was. I'm never against the guy getting the money. To me, it's like, yo, go get your money. But I remember thinking like, yeah, elite quarterback money. When I just wonder, what are the teams like? If. If Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen were a free agent, every team would be like, me, me, me, me. Yeah, Brock Purdy. I just wondered if. If that had come to it, would. Would 10 teams be like, we want him. We want him? I don't know. It was. It was the whole negotiation. Like, Danny's right. Like, he was worth 50 million to the 49ers, but he probably wasn't to the other 30 teams. Maybe that was the leverage the 49ers had. But even last year, when we're ripping on Dakota, I felt that you would take Dak Prescott over Brock Purdy. Except if you're the San Francisco 49ers and we rip on Dak all the time, but for how Purdy fits, he's worth it to San Francisco. You know what it's like? It's like any relationship or business partnership, like, the person you're with that makes you so happy, you might realize, like, yeah, other people might not get it, but I get it, and you're the only one that needs to get it. Someone might say, like, why do you guys love Iowa Sam so much. He fits. He fits. He works with our system. He may go to another show and they're like, who is this guy? This guy is zany. But to us, I was Sam fits the Covino Rich system like a glove, right? Exactly. So thank you guys. Like a glove. Appreciate you hanging out.

Listen to the Traverse Podcast from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get Your podcast, the Rich Russians Falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad oligarch season two. Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths, which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, the window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Internet is something we make, not just something that happens to us. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech and culture podcast. There are no Girls on the Internet. There are no girls on the Internet is not just about tech. It's about culture and policy and art and it's suppression and how we as humans exist and fit with one another. In our new season, I'm talking to people like Anil Dash, an OG entrepreneur and writer who refuses to be cynical about the Internet. I love tech, you know, I've been a nerd my whole life. But it does have to be for something like it's not just for its own sake. It's a fascinating exploration about the power of the Internet for both good and bad. They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service, therefore we're not trading rice. This season, it's an inspiring story that focuses on people as the core building blocks of the Internet. Platforms exist because of the regular people on them. And I think that's a real important story to keep repeating. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Listen to There are no Girls on the Internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Yeah, buddy. Man, after watching the Perfect Neighbor last night on Netflix. Yeah. Feel like we're all better neighbors than I thought. BET. By the way, I invented BET back in the 90s and I hear us back. Kids are saying bet all the time. Well, you. You hear all kids saying bet. I'm like, Kavito, you never said bet. And he's like, I did in the 90s, bet. Bet was a thing. It's always been a thing. Never stopped using it because kids didn't invent bet. It was just the easy way to agree. I bet. All right, bet whatever you're chopped. I'll give him. I'll give them all the credit in the world. For six, seven, though, they could have that. So Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. My kids, My kids. PE teacher has officially said.

Now he's in the producer's studio with Danny. And I was Sam. It smells weird in here. Nice. All right, let's kick it off. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said that he's standing by the decision for this year's super bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny. As you know, several people have expressed their discontent with this year's choice for the halftime show petitions being created. They had a counter programmed super bowl halftime show with a conservative group. So during the annual fall owners meeting in New York, Adele explained that the process of selecting this year's performance was carefully thought through. He said that they're not sure they've ever selected an artist where it didn't have some sort of blowback or criticism. And it's pretty hard to do when you have literally millions of people watching the show. So he's confident it's going to be a great show. Also said that Bad Bunny understands the platform that he's on and that there's no plans for him to be replaced. So either watch Bad Bunny or go grab some snacks during super bowl halftime midweek or Major. This is so weak. Not the actual story though, the actual outcry. Everyone being a big sports baby about the decision. Do I like Bad Bunny? No. Is he American? Yes. So shut your face. No one complained when the Stones did it. Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Sting, Coldplay, Elton John. They're not American. This dude's from Puerto Rico. Shut your pie holes. It doesn't matter if you said Puerto Rico doesn't sell. Doesn't have to sell it. Oh, yeah, there you go. 60,000 people signed a petition for George Strait or some country act. Get over it. Stop being a bunch of weenies. Bad Bunny's gonna do it. And last I heard, JLO said she's down. We get some fine women on there. We'll have fun. Stop crying. It's no big deal. Watch it, enjoy it and shut up. I never heard people cry so much about 15 minutes of their lives. Get a life, Weenies. This is weak. We. I'm not a huge Bad Bony fan, but do you see me bitching and complaining? You know why? I now have four months to get Rosetta Stone and figure it out. Listen, it'll be fun. You might not understand everything, but hey, roll with it. But you know it's not true that AI fake, fake banner that was floating around. Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Travis Tritt, Jason Aldean, Aaron Lewis. There was like, that fake. That was fake. I'm sure people have seen, like, what might be the alternative. Halftime showing up this stupid petition. Like, that's gonna do anything. It's like the person outside the supermarket that's like, can you sign this? I'm like, no, I don't live here. What? I don't speak English. Hey, can you. Can you sign this about. No, I live it. I make something up. Chance of Goodell being like, you know what? We heard the people and we're going to take back the honor. The only time. There was only one time listening to the people worked. And that was when they changed the look of Sonic the Hedgehog in the movie. Yes. Remember that story where, like, he looked all weird and they said, all right, well, the cracker barrel thing where they blew up cracker barrels. A big marketing scheme. Yeah. So there you go. Thank you. Spot. That was. You done? All right, good. Yeah, thanks so much. Take it away, Dan. All right. Sticking with the. Some other revelations from the NFL owners meeting. So they're making some big changes to the Pro bowl this year. So in an attempt to make the Pro bowl quote more attractive to both players participating and also the fans, the Pro bowl will actually move to Tuesday of Super bowl week taking place at the Moscone center in San Francisco, which is where the Fan fest, the NFL Fan Fest will be taking place that week. As you know, the format switched to flag football in 2023 and the hopes is to highlight the game more to pump up flag football, which will be be part of the 2028 Olympics right here in LA. So the format will still remain the same with AFC versus NFC, but the Manning Bros. Will not be coaching this year, unfortunately. So, yeah, midweek or major. Major in every way. I'll tell you why. On a selfish level, we should be out there broadcasting live, which means more star power as far as guests stopping by. And we're going to see a great opportunity to start taking the Pro bowl more seriously, especially since it's an Olympic sport. So they got things to play for. And I'm really hoping Pete Weber's out there because he's my favorite Pro Bowler. Different Pro Bowl. Oh, well, either way sounds cool to me. I think this is major. Definitely major. You said Tuesday, the week of the Super Bowl. That means all the media and the press that get to that host city early. Like you said, Tuesday is usually a down day. Dan Byers that the day we usually just go get like a sandwich and nothing's doing. Tuesday is usually media party night. Yeah. Which I remember going to last year. And I was like, no one was there. It was lame. I saw Rob Parker. We're like, let's get out of here. Let's get some free wings. So flats only two Tuesday. I think this is great. It'll be fun. And you know what? I like to innovate or die thing. Right. Always got to change if it's not working. And it wasn't working. Yeah, I think this is a good idea. By the way, at a. Who do you think the alpha dog is of all the NFL owners? Robert Kraft. Oh, Jerry. Jerry Jones. Even at his age, you think he's still the alpha dog when he walks in? Settle down just a little bit. Are they arranged by age? That's a good question. All right, what else we got? Spotty. All right. The organization Sports Pro and North Star Solutions Group has compiled a list of the most marketable athletes on the planet. The whole planet. In a new study revealing the 150 sports stars with the highest values to brands worldwide. So topping that list, F1 icon Lewis Hamilton, crediting his big move to partner with Ferrari earlier this year, second place Olympian Simone Biles. Other members in the top 10 include the Rugby player who's popular on social media. What is it? Yona Maher? Yeah. No, no. See, that's why I don't like this. Sorry. Rounding out the top 10, you have Steph Curry. Number four, Ronaldo. Number five, Neymar. At six, Caitlin Clark. Number seven, LeBron. At number eight, Giannis at number nine and Coco Gauff at number. Some other notable numbers on the list you have Travis Kelce rounding out the top 50, Paige Becker's 38 and Angel Reese at number 20. So the full list you can see online midweek or major, most influential. What is it? It's the most marketable athletes. This is a bunk ass list, bro. Where's Shohei Ohtani not in the top 10. Get out of my face then. This is stupid. Kenny Powers. You didn't even mention him. Chad Powers. Is he on the list? Yeah, where's. Get out of here with that. I don't like that list. I'm Chad Powers. You don't have to like it. It exists though. It's based on marketability. Very mid. Mid. That's so mid. Mid. Thanks for picking mid because you guys don't pick mid enough. Yeah, well, this is. This is totally mid. And I'll tell you why. There's so many big NFL stars too, that aren't on. I asked myself, who could sell a shoe, who could be in a commercial that you'd laugh at or understand? And I'll be honest, like, some of the names you said, I'm like, no one cares. Remember, it's worldwide. That's true. I'm an American and I think it's all about me, I guess. Yeah, but we're entitled to our wrong opinions. And my wrong opinion says that we. That's a weak ass list. If he told me Ronaldo, I'd say, okay, yeah, I mean, he's on the list. All right, next one's fine. All right, fine. The most marketable guy isn't even playing. That's Michael Jordan. He's still the most marketable. Fine. All right. Speaking of the number 50 top 50, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes new business venture, 1587 prime, still going strong. And on this week's New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce revealed that he's making his first visit to the restaurant, which led to a discussion of Travis Kelce revealing his go to order when he's at his own restaurant, which has a price tag of $173. In my mind, not that much considering it's a steakhouse. So for starters, he likes the lobster roll hamachi and steakhouse unique twists on cheeseburger and chicken nuggets. And then for the main course, which I think is where the money is, is a Japanese A5 New York strip steak with black truffle butter and a side of truffle fettuccine. He didn't list his dessert, so that's all we got. Midweek or major. This is so weak. Seriously, like, you know, we're such on the Kelsey hype train that we gotta talk about their stupid order. Get out of here. I'm not blaming Spot. I understand that it's a headline. That's a headline. But it's pretty weak when, like, what their order is is news. I think the hot. I think the hottest angle of the story is the fact that Travis and Taylor appeared at the restaurant. And the fan, the few fans that were able to get in and get a reservation, like, it was pretty cool for them. They were very. They were really fanboying and fangirling. Like, almost like, like screaming when Travis and Taylor were there. Very overpriced. But then again, every steakhouse is overpriced now. I just wonder how long it lasts. Mid. You know why it's mid? That's so mid? Because a lot of celebrities have restaurants and clubs and, you know, ventures, so. All right. Thank you, Spot. Hey, thanks, guys. Appreciate it, everybody. Thanks, pal. See you guys. Miss you. I know, I know. Now it's time for DB with the update. Hi. Dan Buyer. You know, I'm known as a Rich Davis guy, but somebody's trying to change that. Somebody slid in my DMs last night. Oh, one Steve Covino. What is this sneaky behavior? Don't worry about it. Was it pictures of his bones? Just. Just to let you know. Game on. Between you two, give me some nice recommendations. Got a better update television shows and also passing along some NFL uniform information as I think you're the only guy. Big Head. Get out of here. My wow. You also send them a picture of you and your pinstripe tighty whities. I was going to say that for tonight. Yeah, with Aaron Judge on the butt. Nothing but a Seahawks hat on. All right, let's get to to real matters here. NFL Week 8 Commanders not going to have Jaden Daniels Quarterback has been ruled out of their Monday night matchup with the Chiefs because of a hamstring strain in Kansas. Was the last time we saw Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on the field until today Limited in practice with his hamstring strain. Panthers have the Bills coming up on Sunday. Bryce Young didn't practice today. Quarterback dealing with that high ankle sprain. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn wouldn't name a starting quarterback for the Week 8 game in Cincinnati. Quarterback Trod Taylor considered day to day with a knee injury. Brock Purdy limited. Michael Pennix Jr. The Falcons limited as was Baker Mayfield of the Buccaneers in practice. Limited today. Remember on Sunday when Sean Payton of the Broncos said this after their win against the Giants in trying to compliment Jackson dart, you know they found a little spark with that quarterback. I was talking to John Marin not too long ago and I said we were hoping that that change would have happened long after our game. So Russell Wilson heard that yesterday. Responded with his post on X calling the comments classless. Also had a bounty gate dig in there as well. Well, Peyton responded to Russell Wilson's post today that was strictly about dart. That was in no way, shape or form anything that was directed at Russ. So that wasn't any intention at all. Also said he could understand maybe why Russ took it a certain way, but it wasn't meant to be that San Francisco Giants have officially hired Tony Vitello as their manager. He leaves the University of Tennessee and becomes the first college coach to be an MLB skipper with no previous pro Baseball coaching experience and Carl Anthony Towns is active tonight and set to make the starting lineup for the Knicks as they open the season against the Cavs. Coming up at the top of the hour. He was a gametime decision because of a quad issue. Guys, back to you. Thanks, DB. You know, every time you compliment someone in sports, the reality is we forget you are insulting someone else. If you, if you talk about a football team and you're like, yeah, they're great, man, but man, the secondary, you're pretty much saying like, or when a team says we got to improve, they're, they're really telling certain people on the team like, you're just not as good as we need you to be. Like, if you were to say a baseball team, like, man, they would have went way further. The bullpen, you know, got to clean that up. Clean that up means like anyone that's in the bullpen should take that as you're not good enough. That's the same line of thinking of for every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else. If you're talking about your escapades of the early 2000s and how fun they were, you're basically telling your current wife, that is not that exciting now. Yeah, I agree. But it's just really interesting because you're right. When you compliment some new young player, you're pretty much saying, who was there before wasn't cutting it and it's, it can only be insulting. But it's just life, right? That's just how it is. It's how the other person interprets it, you know, because really you're just trying to pay a compliment. No? True, true. Well, I got a thought about an NFL team that is sort of not getting away with it. But there's a team that took a major step backwards and it's only going to get worse. And I'll explain and tell you what this team is, who they are. Who are you next? Right here on Covino. Rich. Tired of spills and stains on your sofa? WashablesOfAs.com has your back.

The Rich Russians Falling out of Windows podcast is back. Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odd deaths which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks to window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become much harder to find. Not just that, it seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The Internet is something we make, not just something that happens to us. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech and culture podcast. There are no girls on the Internet. There are no girls on the Internet is not just about tech. It's about culture and policy and art and expression and how we as humans exist and fit with one another. In our new season, I'm talking to people like Anil Dash, an OG entrepreneur and writer who refuses to be cynical about the Internet. I love tech, you know, I've been a nerd my whole life. But it does have to be for something like it's not just for its own sake. It's a fascinating exploration about the power of the Internet for both good and bad. They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service, therefore we're not trading rice this season. It's an inspiring, inspiring story that focuses on people as the core building blocks of the Internet. Platforms exist because of the regular people on them. And I think that's a real important story to keep repeating. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.

That's www.expresspros.com. hey Rich, earlier in the show Covino and Rich FSR, we gave you our sort of path through talk radio. We talked about Maxim radio. Yeah. We ended up on TV at Snyder in New York for a while. We had a great time there. SNY posted a few hours ago that today's the 25th anniversary of what legendary World Series moment in 2000. Disgusting. Because it was the year the Mets lost to the Yankees. Can I guess? Met Yankees. Memorable. Memorable moment in the year 200025 years ago today, was it when Clemens threw the bat at Piazza? Yeah, 25 years ago today. Clemens, Piazza, Clemens all he fired up. Oddly enough you would think as a Mets fan I was like totally team Piazza. I mean I was because I'm a Mets fan, but I get the reaction from Clemens. Yeah, the bat came right back if he threw it. But I don't think he threw it at Piazza. Just threw an adrenaline moment, I think. Right. I don't know. But it was wild to see though. Would have been crazier if that shard like stuck in. Yeah, imagine it stuck in Piazza's leg and he was like, oh man, now you. Now you're talking about a moment. But yeah, no Yankee. Your Yankees embarrassed my Mets. And you know what? It was all based. You know, it was all based on what? Game one. I mean not that anyone cares 25 years later, but game one. Mets had the game. Bad base running blue, one run for the Mets. A Mets runner, Timo Perez Lolly gagged from second to score because he thought a ball went over the fence and it didn't. So he slowed down, got thrown out at home. Game went to extras. The Mets very well should have won that game in nine innings. So set the tone. I believe the Yankees won four games to one. Embarrassing. I believe you're right. Yeah. So real quick, right quick. All those games, like one or two run games, you guys just. The Yankees just out. Just found a way to win in the Mets. Clinton, no. Was anticlimactic about the whole thing is our whole childhood growing up in the east coast coast, we had this fantasy of a subway series. Like oh my God, imagine Subway series. And it was sort of just eh. It was, it was. It wasn't. It was one of the. It was one of your least exciting World Series. Yeah. Like there's. There should have been more battle of those Yankees dynasty teams. They. It was the worst one. They were like an 88 win team. They really weren't as good that year. But the Mets were better than them. But the Yankees were in their head, I guess Yankees better than the Mets. Well again, that was 25 years ago for a timestamp and the World Series begins on Friday. But real quick, Mick, tomorrow's Thursday and Thursday is the new Friday and we do old school and 50 hits. So definitely join us manana as we reminisce some more and throw it back and do it every Thursday and we get you involved. Well, I teased what NFL team has taken such a huge step back and no one's really noticing or taken taken up taking this up with them. Okay. There's a team that took a major step back and it's only going to get worse when I do a little schedule watching. Okay. If you do a little Rich Davis schedule watching. Oh, Rich loves to look at the schedule game. Schedule watching. Yeah. What team I don't know outperformed everyone in the postseason and made it all the way to the NFC championship game. Who was your big surprise team last year in the nfc? I see monsieur mouthing it. Your Washington commanders. They have taken a step back. Washington commanders, well, their fan base had something really to be excited about. McLaren's been hurt. Jaden Daniel's been banged up. They're three and four, like sort of just hanging on. They're like, you know, they're, they're, they don't even. I don't even feel like they got the vibe and the momentum of the giants who are 2 and 5. So that chunky soup Jaden Daniels is wearing. A lot of it is injuries. It's a lot of injuries. Danny G. But I'm saying when a friend franchise and an organization finally gets really great momentum for their fans, right. Like right now with the Mariners did in baseball with Cal Raleigh and everything. Imagine next year The Mariners are under.500 would be like oh, but we were just good. The Commanders. I just hope for their fan base it wasn't a one off and they could healthy get that team back on track and that based on what you said, it does get any easier. Let me, let me schedule a watch. Right now they're three and four, right. Without Jaden Daniels and McLaurin banged up. Still they play the Chiefs, Seahawks and Lions. You're losing at least two of those games. You're going to be 4 and 6 after 10 you got a good chance of losing all you might be three and seven to be honest. So shout outs to the commanders fans, I apologize. It's just a rough road ahead. You can't do it every year. It's the NFL parody. We'll see you guys manana. Until then, Ariba. There Chi baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Guys. Guys, Johnny Knoxville here.
