Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fast Food Culture: Taco Bell Hot Sauce & Overpriced Burgers

Timestamps: 05:14–11:27

• Covino's Mexican-Italian Background: Covino confesses to rarely eating Taco Bell, attributing it to his heritage and the abundance of authentic food options in LA.

  "Yo, bro. I'm half Mexican, half Italian. Do you think I eat Taco Bell? ... My Dita, my grandma, had her own tortilla press." — Covino (05:31)

• The Taco Bell Hot Sauce Debate:

  • Rich and the team defend Taco Bell hot sauce, sharing personal hacks for using packets on homemade food.

  • Sam declares loyalty to the "Fire" sauce, Rich admits "Diablo’s too hot."

    "I was just telling him that I use Taco Bell hot sauce, not fire... sometimes I hoard Taco Bell hot sauce." — Rich (07:06)

  • Covino tries the hot sauce live, admitting, "I liked it." (09:04)

  • They riff about hoarding fast food sauces (“It’s called stealing, Danny.” – Rich, 07:29), and the guilty pleasure of junk food pizza.

• Fast Food Burger Costs:

  • Five Guys is declared "the most overpriced fast food burger," with consensus that great taste comes at a steep price ($20 per meal for one).

    “I hate to say it’s overpriced…it’s good, but don’t you feel like if you go there you’re spending like 20 bucks on your own?” — Rich (09:13)

  • In-N-Out is praised for affordability and freshness, sparking conversation about why some chain food can’t be replicated at home.

  • Sam confesses, "I haven't had Five Guys yet." (11:08)

---

2. NFL Travel & International Games: The Australia Debate

Timestamps: 11:36–20:48, 28:29–29:07

• Kyle Shanahan’s Reluctance:

  • Shanahan, head coach of the 49ers, is cited opposing the opening game in Australia:

    “I don't see any pro to this at all. Like, you could say, like, yeah, man, but you get to see the world…but it's work." — Rich paraphrasing Shanahan (12:05, 13:08)

  • Benefits for the league and fans are acknowledged, but Shanahan views the extra travel as a net negative for the team.

• Honest Athlete Perspectives:

  • Covino and Rich empathize: for most, the opportunity would be a dream, but for players, the grind and lack of personal gain justifies reluctance.

    "The average fan and the average person would jump at the opportunity...but these guys can go whenever they want." — Covino (14:15)

• Travel Toll & Logistical Challenges:

  • The group discusses jet lag, the demands placed on players, and the lack of post-trip rest compared to regular international games which sometimes grant a bye week.

    “You don’t think George Kittle wants to…see some kangaroos? He probably wants to fight a kangaroo.” — Rich (20:23)

  • Listeners chime in with mixed reactions (“Cry me a river. You got to go to Australia. You're making millions…” — Listener comment read by Covino, 20:33)

  • The idea of expanding NFL internationally is debated in terms of league growth vs. player welfare.

• Forecasting NFL’s Global Future:

  • Rich predicts a future with 18 games, two bye weeks, and mandated international games for each team to address current complaints.

    “You’re going to end up…every team will probably have one international game…Once they get 18 games and international and everything, then…you get a bye week." — Rich (19:31)

---

3. Iron Mike Trivia

Timestamps: 30:22–38:55

• Introduction:

  • Mike Tyson joins for a good-natured, boxing-themed trivia segment known as "Iron Mike Trivia."
  • The hosts joke about Easter commercials and Tyson’s love of Cadbury eggs and pigeons.

• Sample Trivia Exchanges:

  • Mike Tyson’s Postage Stamp Quote:

    “He said clever. That was the only way he’d ever get licked. If he was on a post.” — Mike Tyson (33:50)

  • Mike’s Reach:

    “How many inches is my wingspan?... I have a 71 inch reach.” — Mike Tyson (38:02)

  • The quiz blends humor, boxing history, and friendly competition tied closely to Tyson’s career.

  • Rich, Dan Byer, and a caller vie for a C&R prize pack, with plenty of banter and callbacks to classic Tyson moments.

---

4. Movie Nostalgia & The Death of the Movie Quote

Timestamps: 46:41–52:19

• Tommy Boy’s Anniversary:

  • The hosts celebrate the 31st anniversary of "Tommy Boy" (March 31, 1995) and reminisce about its influence and quotability.

    “Brothers don’t shake hands. Brothers got a hug!” — Rich quoting Tommy Boy (49:55)

  • The disappearance of movie quotes in pop culture is attributed to social media and the end of the “monoculture.”

    “We stopped quoting movies in the early 2000s…because of social media, the monoculture sort of changed and we all had different interests.” — Covino (47:00)

  • The crew playfully quizzes each other on lines from Tommy Boy vs. Black Sheep, noting how ingrained these quotes are in Gen X and elder Millennial memory.

    “We say things to our kids that they're gonna attribute to us not knowing. We really got it from Lloyd Christmas and Billy Madison.” — Covino (48:42)

  • The hosts reflect on a time when group movie-watching and repetitive quoting were bonding rituals now replaced by endless scrolling and fragmented pop culture references.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• "I'm not complaining, just explaining." — Covino’s catchphrase on athletes' honesty (28:47)
• “Trust me. I go to a kid's birthday party, I'll house some Domino's. But if you said what's good pizza? I know good pizza. I'm from New York.” — Rich (05:51)
• “It's the tastiest slop as far as fast food goes...the cheesy gordita crunch slaps.” — Rich (07:57, 08:25)
• “It rubs you the wrong way, that’s all.” — Covino on NFL international games (17:57)
• “We all bonded by knowing and rewatching these movies and quoting them till today.” — Covino (50:53)

[Rich]

Yeah, man. Get.

[Covino]

Thank you.

[Rich]

Get a little emotional. Think about it. Time's flying, bro. Now the Chiefs are saying Mahomes is ahead of schedule for his recovery, but as Dan Beyer pointed out yesterday, they're not going to play The Seahawks Week 1 because they're not quite sure that. So I wanted to talk about NFL scheduling, but any final thoughts on ABS before we get to the NFL?

[Covino]

I already sort of gave you my Jerry Springer final thought. I think all of us as spectators are going through an adjustment period of do I like this? Do I not? How do I feel about it? Why don't we just get it right

[Rich]

from the get go as we turn our attention to the NFL?

[Covino]

Because you know, you could eliminate the whole challenge, by the way, if you just got it right.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah, I, I'm still more interested in how Covino has never had Taco Bell hot sauce.

[Rich]

Yeah. Do you know that's a topic in itself?

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[Rich]

You know what, you know what Covino will say though?

[Listener/Caller]

I could have found that out a couple of minutes ago.

[Sam]

Save that for over promised.

[Rich]

Could I? Could I answer for him?

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Let me do my best.

[Covino]

Cavino.

[Rich]

Yo, bro. I'm half Mexican, half Italian. Do you think I eat Taco Bell? And my, my Dita, my grandma had her own tortilla press.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah, but you got, you guys also. You guys also know really great pizza and you still have had Domino's.

[Rich]

That is true.

[Covino]

That is true. We call it junk food pizza. And I don't mean that by, I don't mean anything.

[Listener/Caller]

It's not a slight.

[Mike Tyson]

Yeah, yeah, I, I love it.

[Rich]

Trust me. I go to a kid's birthday party, I'll house some Domino's. But if you said what's good pizza? I know good pizza. I'm from New York.

[Covino]

It's not that I've never had Taco Bell, bro. It's just not my. We have so many good taco places here in la.

[Rich]

See that's, that's, that's a BS answer. Because I love, I love authentic Mexican food. But on a late night, nothing beats a gordita crunch.

[Covino]

It's not my go to fourth meal, remember? Like, put it this way, this is a true story. If maybe it helps make sense. My daughter had Taco Bell with a friend for the first time in her life. She's 16 years old.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Blows my mind.

[Covino]

She never had Taco Bell in her life.

[Rich]

My kids are eight.

[Covino]

Sheltered as she's not my go to, you know, it's just not. I get Mexican at least twice a week. You Know, I don't get Taco Bell. Chick fil A. Yeah. All the time. She had McDonald's all the time. She had Wendy's all the time. So, I mean, not all the time.

[Sam]

Yeah, Steve, me and my buddies, we used to walk from our, like, neighborhood down to downtown Iowa City just to go to Taco Bell. I mean, and make a day of it.

[Covino]

What about gringos? Locals for.

[Rich]

But I'm saying, what if you're an event, like, in your college food court? Like, I feel like, late night, late night. And this is no commercial.

[Covino]

That's what I'm saying. It's not that I've never had it, bro. It's just when they were talking about hot sauce.

[Listener/Caller]

Not in your rotation.

[Covino]

It's not in my rotation. Rich was telling me how great the hot sauce is, and I'm like, I don't know. I don't know it. Like, sure, I guess it is. I don't know.

[Rich]

Well, I was just telling him that I use Taco Bell hot sauce, not fire. Sam, you like the fire or what?

[Sam]

I like all of them, but I like fire, so I think it's the perfect amount.

[Rich]

I'm saying Diablo's too hot. I was a little biatch. I took Diablo, and I was like, oh, I had to drink water right away. But the Taco Bell. The hot sauce. The hot sauce, yeah. I tell Kavino, I put on scrambled eggs. I put on sandwiches. Sometimes I hoard Taco Bell hot sauce.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah. You have a drawer in your house.

[Rich]

Yeah. It's sort of like how I keep. It's called stealing, Danny. I keep.

[Sam]

They put a bunch in your bag. They put, like, way more than you need.

[Covino]

That's good.

[Rich]

They ask you how many? And I go, 20.

[Listener/Caller]

Say, like, you ordered two burritos.

[Rich]

Like, if you go to Chick Fil A, I always ask for extra Chick Fil A sauce. Because I'll put that on, like, a turkey sandwich or something. That's good sauce. That's good. Sauce is right. Ben Maurer.

[Covino]

Yes.

[Rich]

Yes.

[Covino]

Now, I'm just not a Baja Blast Taco Bell.

[Rich]

I'm not a Baja.

[Covino]

I don't hate on it, you know, at all. But I'm just not my go to.

[Rich]

It's the tastiest slop as far as fast food goes. If you're gonna talk about tasty slop.

[Sam]

Oh, tasty.

[Covino]

Who knows?

[Rich]

Maybe there'll be a sponsor one day.

[Covino]

But I made it extra sloppy.

[Rich]

But this is, though. This is.

[Sam]

I got some sloppies for you boys.

[Rich]

This is no commercial. I promise you, I will vouch. I will put the cheesy gordita crunch at Taco Bell above anything else when it comes to.

[Covino]

I heard it was just a gordita crunch until you had it. Is that true?

[Rich]

Yeah, it was. Then it became a cheesy one.

[Covino]

I love it.

[Rich]

Yeah. The cheesy gordita crunch is like the ultimate late night. You're a little drunk, you're a little high, or you just have the late night munchies. The cheesy gordita crunch slaps.

[Sam]

Oh, yeah. Because, you know, they actually sell that, like, chipotle.

[Rich]

Chipotle mayo.

[Sam]

Those. They. I think they sell it in grocery stores, but it's like the idea of buying that and putting it on my food just feels weird. I'm like, it's probably got so much salt in it.

[Rich]

So. No, but terrible for you. We only brought that up because during the break, Covino's like, yeah, I never had that. I'm like, you never had it?

[Dan Beyer]

Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

Rich. Rich ran in here. He got a hot sauce packet, and then he ran back into the main on air studio and he put it on a fork for Covino. Covino was doing a hot sauce tasting over it.

[Covino]

I liked it. Hey, guys. I like that. All right, all right. So I'm Covino, that is Rich, and

[Rich]

they did come out with a list. But we'll get to NFL in a second. I find this more fun, to be honest. I saw a list yesterday, and this is interesting, because I think we all agree it's what was the most overpriced fast food burger out there now. And they did a national survey, and I hate to say is overpriced. It's insinuating. It's too much money. Which overpriced, always delicious. But five guys was voted number one as far as overpriced fast food burger. Yeah, it's good. But don't you feel like if you go there, you're spending like 20 bucks on your own, charging you for all

[Covino]

those extra fries they throw in there?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, no doubt. Ours just closed by us, by the way. Yeah, yeah. So I don't know if that's a. It's a bigger thing, but ours went away.

[Rich]

I remember you. If you get the five guys that dubbed the extra patty and they throw the fries and it's delicious, but I feel like I would go for my wife and I. And you know me, I love chipotle too. And I. Chipotle is like 40 bucks or two people sometimes.

[Covino]

So there.

[Listener/Caller]

There's a Meme that says, I won't let you know when I get my tax return, but there'll be signs. And that guy sitting there with a five guys burger.

[Rich]

You know what the most affordable is?

[Covino]

And are they that expensive?

[Caller/Guest]

For real?

[Listener/Caller]

Honestly, absurd. $20 for one person to eat a full meal easily.

[Rich]

And you know what the opposite is? A place that's not national, but you probably had it wherever you live. In n out burger. There's a reason. There's a line down the block. I feel like you can get like a burger in front, like six bucks and it's fresh.

[Sam]

The prices are a little higher these days. It's still very affordable.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't know. How many of you guys do we still make hamburgers at home? Five guys is the closest to a making at home hamburger as well.

[Rich]

Yes, it is.

[Caller/Guest]

You know, like this is. I could make this at home. Like you can't make in and out burger really at home. Like there's just. I mean, you can add the toppings and stuff, but the actual meat and the bun and how they do it. But five guys felt like, well, we can kind of make something close to this at home.

[Rich]

No, it's.

[Covino]

Listen. Oh, I get it. So you're like, what's the point? Yeah, yeah.

[Caller/Guest]

And now you're going to charge us three times as much, right?

[Rich]

Right

[Covino]

now I'm hungry.

[Sam]

I haven't had five guys yet.

[Rich]

Only three. I just set myself up for that, didn't I? But I really haven't.

[Sam]

I've never had it before. So I don't know what all the hullabaloo's all about.

[Covino]

Someday sa a hint.

[Caller/Guest]

It's also a hint. You know, maybe you want to bring some in for.

[Rich]

I can introduce you to a producer. No.

[Covino]

Oh, geez.

[Sam]

Anyway, fell right into that one.

[Rich]

Burgers, tacos, fat guy radio.

[Listener/Caller]

Here's a transition rich.

[Mike Tyson]

How about.

[Caller/Guest]

Hey, come on, burgers.

[Dan Beyer]

Delicious.

[Rich]

Oh, you want a little vegemite?

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[Rich]

Kyle Shanahan. Back to the NFL. I thought this was wild because I love the honesty. And you know, we assume that these NFL players are so blessed, which they are making a ton of money. We love the NFL more than anything. We live and breathe the NFL even when it's off season. Danny G. We're all texting each other about our team's off season moves like it's NFL is king, dude.

[Listener/Caller]

The draft is days away now.

[Rich]

I'm already sizing up like, who the Niners going to add. And there's rumors, you know, like, oh, are they going to add another wide receiver. And what are they going to do with iuk? So many questions. Kyle Shanahan, head coach of the Niners, gives a strong take on starting the season in Australia. Quote, I don't see any pro to this at all. Like, you could say, like, yeah, man, but you get to see the world, which is what Danny. Danny said. You know, these guys don't appreciate seeing

[Covino]

the world, but because they've already seen

[Rich]

it on their own time on like yachts and shit, I would imagine. Beat me.

[Mike Tyson]

Beat me

[Listener/Caller]

to hear the rest of what Rich said. Listen to the podcast work though, like,

[Sam]

like go on your own time to Australia. But like, yeah, it's work. Like, this is just making work harder for us to go halfway across the world.

[Listener/Caller]

Well, it is work, but when we get sent somewhere cool to work, it's still cool.

[Sam]

I mean, Australia, that's a 20 hour flight from here.

[Listener/Caller]

Some of these guys are young guys that haven't had the opportunity to travel yet.

[Sam]

I think it shows that much of the country can.

[Covino]

You see these guys are jaded some because it's not a thrill to them. It's just not.

[Rich]

I mean, Kyle Shanahan said, I don't see any pro to this at all. He did admitted, he did admit that it was, quote, cool for the league to play globally and expand the game, calling it even awesome to get international fans experiencing it. But when asked personally about it, he goes, yeah, there's nothing really awesome about starting the season overseas. Grueling training camp, playing in Australia week one and then, yeah, you get a couple extra days, but then coming back and having to pick it up with week two with no bye week. He said there is no advantage. In fact, he can't think of one positive about this other than for other people. Like, hey, Australian fans, get to experience it is J.

[Covino]

Or like men at work doing the halftime show or anything from a London that might be fun. That could be a benefit. Yeah, you know, I totally understand where he's coming from. It does sound like ungrateful. I was going to use another word. Now I'm a little scared. After Rich cursed on the air. Didn't mean it.

[Rich]

I was feeling natural with you guys.

[Covino]

No, that's fine.

[Sam]

You were in Patreon mode.

[Rich]

I was, yeah.

[Covino]

It does sound jaded. It does sound like these guys are spoiled. But guess what?

[Rich]

They are.

[Covino]

You're right.

[Mike Tyson]

I get it.

[Covino]

The average fan and the average person would jump at the opportunity for a work trip to Australia. Fulfill your travel dreams. I've even joked that off the box. Cause that's one of my dream destinations. Same with Rich, right?

[Rich]

I've even joked with the boss. I said, hey, like, if, like, there was a client or some reason why Covino and I needed to cover the Niners in Australia, yo, let me knew. Sign us up.

[Covino]

Because I've never been Rich has never been. And I think they really marketed Australia hard to us when we were kids, because in our minds, it's like the coolest place that ever was.

[Rich]

Like, coral reefs and the most beautiful scenes ever, right?

[Listener/Caller]

And the Crocodile Dundee.

[Covino]

Crocodile Dundee, yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

Wakey, wakey.

[Covino]

Rich, you were a big fan of Kangaroo Jack, weren't you? I mean, what a great movie, right? So I think that in our minds, our childhood minds, we're like, we gotta go to Australia one day. We've never got a chance. And then you hear these professional athletes and coaches and these other dudes who make millions of dollars who can go whenever they want, they're not as thrilled, because guess what? They could do that whenever they want. It makes a lot of sense. It's just we don't like to hear it.

[Rich]

I mean, we heard the thing, same sentiment last year with certain teams that went to Brazil. These international games take a toll. And I'd imagine you have thoughts on this.

[Caller/Guest]

Well, yeah, Like, I look at it in a couple of ways because. Are you an ambassador at that point? Would you rather spend the whole week, go to different functions in that country, have your practice, or would you just rather keep it like a business sort of thing? And that's where I understand the travel and all of that is annoying. But if you're traveling and keeping it as a normal business week, it would be twice as annoying for me. I would understand if I had a week of things to do where we were appearing at this spot. We were trying to make it popular in whatever country that they're in, but to, like, make it, like, normal, which is what the Chiefs and Chargers did, I think this past year was just flew down on a Thursday night, got there, spent three nights in their hotel, and then flew back right after the game. You're kind of wondering, like, what's the point of it if there's not going to be anything extra with it?

[Rich]

There's a couple things you said that just spurred thoughts.

[Covino]

Yeah. From the players perspective, when we do

[Rich]

super bowl week for Fox Sports Radio, it's the most fun we have networking as professionals, and we get to see the bosses get to hang with each other. We got to spend some time with Stu Gotts and Bump into some of the Danets and go, you know, hang with Colin at his party. Like, it's a really great week, but it's very busy because you still are doing your regular work. So it's an amped up week. And if you're not down for that, if you don't have that, that energy, to be honest, to do it all, it really is an exhausting week. So you can imagine if you're an NFL player and not only just a

[Covino]

lot more extra work.

[Rich]

All right, so you're already practicing your training. Add in travel, add in, like. And you know, we want you to do an appearance at this, this Australian pub and, you know, wave to some fans, like. But then again, on the flip of it, Danny G. Covino and I were lucky enough and blessed to go to Mexico City when we were at ESPN and we saw what that meant to the people and fans of Mexico City.

[Covino]

Awesome. Yes.

[Rich]

It was like. It was honestly remarkable. And how cool.

[Covino]

It's cool to see that game going that global. You're like, wait, they care this much?

[Listener/Caller]

So here's, here's where these guys need to appreciate where they're at in life. You. In our show, we go out of our way to represent Fox Sports Radio.

[Rich]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Listener/Caller]

So when the bosses say, hey, this is important to us and our brand, we go out of our way. If the NFL says, hey, you guys, you're the faces of this league. You're important to what's happening and for the growth of this league, we need you here. Why would you ever push back on something like that when you are growing the very thing that's making you a millionaire?

[Covino]

He's saying two things. It's great for the game, but it's not necessarily great for the team. It's not great for which I understand. It's just. It rubs you the wrong way, that's all.

[Sam]

When you fly east to west and you're going from the United States to Australia, you go into a different day. It becomes tomorrow.

[Listener/Caller]

No, Rich is the same one who said jet lag is not a real thing.

[Rich]

I don't believe in it.

[Sam]

Okay, but listen, man, unless you got one of those lay down seats on a cushy first class flight, they have cushy everything.

[Rich]

Okay, they do.

[Covino]

Okay, but that's a good point, Danny.

[Rich]

Do they have to make an extra big one for Trent Williams?

[DraftKings Announcer]

Well, you know what?

[Covino]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Is pointing out something out that's very interesting here. It's not like they're going.

[Rich]

It's not like they're in middle seat. Right.

[Covino]

Squished in a middle seat, going out

[Mike Tyson]

of their way to make it happen.

[Covino]

They got people carting them around everywhere, driving them everywhere, and they're not their

[Listener/Caller]

checking account on their phone the way we are. Like, oh, man, how much do I have for this trip? What's my budget like?

[Rich]

None of that. They don't have that stress. They're not worried about TSA lines or,

[Listener/Caller]

you know, none of it.

[Covino]

So is Shanahan just being honest about it, or do you hate his honesty? You know, let us know. 887799 on Fox.

[Rich]

I get it.

[Covino]

I think it's obviously great for the league. It just. It's a lot more taxing for the players.

[Rich]

But you know what? I think when you look ahead, this is interesting because they're starting the season there. If in the future, which a lot of times they've done these games where the team then gets a bye week afterwards, then you could justify and say, all right, if we're going to do two bye weeks, 18 weeks of NFL action, which is what the. Essentially the blueprint, that'll probably, what, take form in a couple years. Yeah, 18 games.

[Listener/Caller]

And that's what's going to happen. Two bye weeks, and you're going to

[Rich]

end up having two bye weeks. You're going to end up. Every team will probably have one international game, and that's probably the way football will remain for a while. Once. Once they get 18 games international and everything, then they'll set it up where. All right, when you have an international game, they'll somehow find a way that you get a bi week to next week and then it'll make sense. No one could bitch and complain then.

[Covino]

Right. That would be. Yeah, that would be the goal. The payoff. Yeah.

[Rich]

It's like. It's like when you go on a long business trip and what do they call it? Sometimes they call it that. That extra day. Like you take a comp day when you get back. Like. Right. Like you. You travel, cover a little bit.

[Covino]

Yeah. Call it a Bruce Buffer day.

[Rich]

Yeah, a little buffer day. You call. I call it the Michael Buffer day. You call it the Bruce Buffer day. Wrong buffer.

[Listener/Caller]

And it would be nice if they could give these teams a sightseeing day there, Rich. And you're right, they need more time coming back because that was some of the complaints we heard last year was, well, we didn't really get to see anything while we were there. So I do. Aspect of it.

[Rich]

Yeah. You don't think George Kittle wants to, you know, go see some kangaroos.

[Covino]

I'm sure he does. I'm sure he does.

[Rich]

He probably wants to fight a kangaroo. All right. Hey, your thoughts?

[Covino]

Feedback's coming in. Willamina Kreider says cry me a river.

[Mike Tyson]

Wa.

[Covino]

You got to go to Australia. You're making millions of dollars. You're getting carted around like a. Like a prince, you know. So your thoughts? 87799 on Fox. I could see how it rubs people

[Caller/Guest]

the wrong way for sure.

[Listener/Caller]

Sure.

[Rich]

Veite sandwich.

[Sam]

I think that's why we love it. It makes you feel kind of relaxed, like you're on a beach.

Not enough. Not enough flute in pop music.

Yeah.

Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio, Shanahan complaining about going to Australia. I'm not complaining, just basically being honest, saying, hey, I get it. It's great for the growth of the game and it's great for the fans.

[Rich]

But what's your catchphrase? You just. You always. Kaveen always says, not complaining, just explaining. Just explaining. And people ask them, how do you feel about it? He's like, listen, not.

[Covino]

You know, it's tiresome. You asked me.

[Rich]

I'm gonna tell you.

[Covino]

All right. So we still have Tommy boy to talk about. Oh, yeah. Celebrating two anniversaries, the anniversary of our patreon, a thousand shows.

[Listener/Caller]

Yes, he does.

[Rich]

I'm in love with a stripper.

[Covino]

Well, I think there's a lot of people that think he can't sing. He because of all the auto tune.

[Listener/Caller]

And then bartender is another good one.

[Rich]

He did acoustic stuff and shocked everyone. Do you remember that?

[Covino]

I just said war Pigs. That was the same performance. It was incredible.

No. Spinal. Thank you, guys. Hey, by the way, I heard you talk about paradise.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Mike Tyson]

What's going on in that show? Very confusing.

[Rich]

It is. You might come with you. Very confusing. I'm like, is it a time machine? I don't want to spoil anything. How does she not? Is that her son? I don't know.

[Mike Tyson]

You know, I like Farah Shahi, though.

Do you guys feel like our childhood was filled with a commercial that I haven't seen in years? Years? Every, like Easter time. Remember the bunny? The.

[Sam]

No, they, they play it every year still. The lion and the rabbit ears. You just have to look for it.

[Mike Tyson]

The thing is, you, you. You only watch streaming service.

[DraftKings Announcer]

Yeah.

[Sam]

You don't watch

[Mike Tyson]

because he has commercials in his man.

[Rich]

Hey, yo, you have Netflix with commercials. That's right, Sam.

[Sam]

I watch YouTube TV with news. And I see that commercial all the time.

[Mike Tyson]

That's why you don't see it, you dumbass.

[Rich]

Yeah, and ML, the MLB app commercial. The MLB app just has like a blank screen during commercial. So, yeah, you're right. Maybe I just miss it.

[Sam]

You're missing out.

[Listener/Caller]

Here are the rules for Iron Mike Trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champion. If there's a tie, we have a tiebreaker question.

[Rich]

Here we go.

[Covino]

Let's get it on.

[Mike Tyson]

I have a question. What is going on in paradise? So confused by that show.

[Rich]

Are they gonna rebuild?

[Mike Tyson]

Who's this Alex guy?

[Rich]

It's a girl.

[Mike Tyson]

Anyway, what boxer famously said he should be on a postage stamp because that was the only way he'd ever get licked? Was it A, Muhammad Ali, he was a wonderful man. B, big George Foreman, he had a wonderful grill. Or C, Sonny Liston.

[Listener/Caller]

Mike, Mike,

[Rich]

go see.

[Listener/Caller]

Sonny listed no.

[Rich]

Rich.

[Listener/Caller]

Rich for the steel.

[Rich]

I feel like that's something that Ali

[Listener/Caller]

would say and you would be right.

[Mike Tyson]

He said clever. That was the only way he'd ever get licked. If he was on a post.

[Listener/Caller]

He said he should be a postage

[Mike Tyson]

stamp, by the way.

[Listener/Caller]

Only way he would get licked.

[Mike Tyson]

Who has stamps? Anybody have stamps? Who buy stamps?

[Sam]

Mike?

[Rich]

I do.

[Sam]

But you don't have to lick them anymore. They're self adhesive, so. But as very clever and witty from

[Mike Tyson]

you have damn thing commercial.

[Sam]

Yeah, I do. Because I am in 85 right now.

[Mike Tyson]

What time are you from?

[Rich]

I don't.

[Listener/Caller]

All right, Rich on the board, we move to round two.

[Mike Tyson]

Round two, Iron Mike. Okay, let's talk about my quotes. I was once quoted saying this about losing. A, for years I didn't even know losing was possible.

[Rich]

Okay.

[Mike Tyson]

B, if you don't listen to Covino and Rich, you're losing in life. Or C, you never lose until you actually give up. What did I once say about losing?

[Rich]

Mike.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah, I heard Mike.

[Rich]

How about C this time?

[Listener/Caller]

Your C is correct.

[Mike Tyson]

Never lose until you actually give up. One of my heroes actually gave up, but he said he did. And Roberto Durant said no mas. Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

All right, Mikey, halfway to a prize pack. Rich and Mike on the board. We go to round three.

[Mike Tyson]

How did Lennox Lewis beat Klitschko in their Battle of the Titans heavyweight title fight fight in 2003? A, Lewis won a split decision on the judges scorecards. B, Klitschko's trainer threw in the towel in the last round. Or C, the doctor stopped the fight because of a cut above Klitschko's eye. How did Lennox Lewis beat Klitschko?

[Listener/Caller]

Mike for the W. Let's go.

[Rich]

Let's go.

[Covino]

A, A, no.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, Dan will give it a shot.

[Listener/Caller]

Fire.

[Caller/Guest]

What about B?

[Listener/Caller]

No. You both lost that one. It was a cut above his eye.

[Mike Tyson]

That's right. And then Klitschko had the title forever.

[Caller/Guest]

Didn't they throw a towel to fix the cut? No, I'm kidding.

[Covino]

It's like.

[Mike Tyson]

Remember when I lost to Douglas? They didn't even have a towel. They had. They had a rubber glove just to do the swelling.

[Covino]

I do remember.

[Mike Tyson]

Like the guy on Duke this weekend with the soda can.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Mike Tyson]

All right, round four. You guys ready?

[Rich]

I'm ready.

[Listener/Caller]

We're ready. Trying to break the towel.

[Mike Tyson]

How often does the National Golden Gloved Amateur competition in the US Occur? A, every four years. B, annually, Or a C, every two years?

[Rich]

Mike.

[Listener/Caller]

Mike for the win.

[Rich]

Let's go. Four years. No.

[Covino]

Sorry, buddy.

[DraftKings Announcer]

Rich.

[Listener/Caller]

Rich.

[Rich]

Every two years.

[Listener/Caller]

No.

[Mike Tyson]

You guys are terrible. Oh, no, it's annually. By the way, why is it that everybody who claims to fight says they fought in the Golden Gloves? I think somebody's lying about that. I think people, their pants are on fire.

[Listener/Caller]

All right, so, Mike, Rich, the two still in a tie.

[Rich]

There we go.

[Listener/Caller]

We go to round five.

[Mike Tyson]

Round five. In what year did the legendary thriller in Manila take place? Was it A, 1970, B, 1973. Or C, 1975?

[Listener/Caller]

Dan Biden, player.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm just gonna say 75, and you are correct.

[Listener/Caller]

Boom. All right, so we got. We got a three way.

[Rich]

I thought that was a win.

[Listener/Caller]

No, no. Three way time.

[Mike Tyson]

1975. Isn't that also your favorite pop rock band?

[Rich]

Well, yeah.

[Mike Tyson]

Rich love those guys.

[Covino]

They're great.

[Mike Tyson]

They're his favorite band. I know.

[Covino]

The.

[Rich]

Chocolate.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Chocolate.

[Listener/Caller]

All right, that means we have a tie break.

[Mike Tyson]

Chocolate.

[Listener/Caller]

We have a tie break right now between Rich, Mike and Byer. No multiple choice. It's whoever comes closest. Just buzz in with your name when you're ready to guess.

[Mike Tyson]

Okay, guys. Now, you know I love pigeons, right?

[Rich]

Yes.

[Mike Tyson]

Who loves pigeons more than Iron Mike Tyson?

[Listener/Caller]

No one.

[Mike Tyson]

By the way, you want to come over and see my pigeon stand?

[Caller/Guest]

I'd love to, Mike.

[Mike Tyson]

Okay, so my question is this. Speaking of pigeons, how many inches is my wingspan?

[Rich]

Well, speaking of pigeons. Oh, okay. Wingspan.

[Mike Tyson]

Wings. How many inches is my wingspan?

[Listener/Caller]

So his reach.

[Rich]

All Right, Mike?

[Listener/Caller]

Mike, how many you're saying?

[Rich]

I'm gonna say it's 70.

[Listener/Caller]

70. Okay.

[Rich]

I had wrote down 72.

[Listener/Caller]

72.

[Caller/Guest]

Buyer, $1.

[Covino]

This is tough.

[Caller/Guest]

I'll say 78.

[Listener/Caller]

78. The actual retail reach. Mike, you want to give them the answer?

[Mike Tyson]

I have a 71 inch reach.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh, Mike in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Just one inch off. He is the winner.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[Sam]

Wait, so is Rich. Rich said 72.

[Mike Tyson]

Yeah, Rich went over. What do I do by default?

[Listener/Caller]

We'll give it to the. We'll give it to the caller. You want to give it to the caller?

[Mike Tyson]

Yes, absolutely.

[Caller/Guest]

Rich didn't cheat because he wrote it down.

[Covino]

He did.

[Caller/Guest]

Maybe because he gave it first. Maybe that's a rule we say not,

[Listener/Caller]

you know, but that's actually good. Rich, would you like to send your prize to Mike and Tulsa?

[Rich]

Of course. Of course. Hey, congratulations.

[Mike Tyson]

Like, right? That's right.

[Listener/Caller]

Awesome, man. Some good guesses there.

[Mike Tyson]

Never leave it to the judges. They always go for the knockout.

[Rich]

That's what they say. Right, Mike?

[Mike Tyson]

That's right. Judges.

[Covino]

Screw you.

[Mike Tyson]

That's why. All right, guys. Hey, Mike, congratulations. I gotta go. I gotta go tend my pigeons.

[Listener/Caller]

Thank you, Tyson.

[Mike Tyson]

Bye, guys.

[Rich]

Later, buddy. Hey, we have a lot to get to. We. You know, let's do this. Let's go to DB's update, and then we pay tribute to a classic, a movie that I feel like we quoted more than any maybe back in the day, Tommy boy. But let's go to db. What's up, Dan?

[Caller/Guest]

Not guilty. Was the plea of Tiger woods today following Friday's car wreck where he was charged with suspicion of DUI and property damage. Expected to be back in court in late April. Tiger's being represented by Douglas Duncan. He's the same attorney that represented Tiger following his arrest in 2017 for DUI. As for what happened at the scene on Friday, well, Martin County Sheriff's office in their report said that woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket and claimed he glanced at his phone just moments before the wreck. Italy will miss the World cup for the third straight time. They lost on PKs to Bosnia and Herzegovina today in the UEFA World cup qualifying finals. Czechia, Turkey and Sweden advanced with wins along with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Turkey is going to be in the same group as the United States for the World Cup. Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy says he talks to quarterback Aaron Rodgers every couple of weeks and is confident Rodgers will be back in Pittsburgh, but again said the decision is ultimately up to the quarterback. Steelers ownership saying today they believe that Rogers will make his decision prior to the NFL draft that is in Pittsburgh near the end of April. Orlando's Camping World Stadium will serve as the home of the Jacksonville Jacksonville Jaguars for the 2027 season as EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville undergoes major renovations. Couple of other NFL notes the league will do away with Monday Night Football double headers in the 2026 season. Boston Globe saying that the desire of the league is to have those games put together in a package that could be shopped to other networks where you could have that Wednesday night game prior to Thanksgiving. You know, one of those sort of deals. So look, look forward to that. NFL owners approved a rule that would allow the league's officiating department to correct a clear missed call if replacement officials are used in the 2026 season. Doc Rivers, Mark Few, Omari Stoudemire, Candice Parker, Elena Della Don will be enshrined into the Basketball hall of Fame that word leaking out today. Seattle Mariners signed prospect Cole Emerson to an eight year, $95 million contract. Emerson's currently in Triple A. Guys, back to you.

[Rich]

Thank you Dan Beyer. And coming up, think about your favorite quotes, your favorite parts, your favorite thoughts of Tommy Boy. A movie that I feel like we quoted so much and it, you know, goes along with the deep thought we had. What happened to the movie quote?

[Covino]

Extinct it is.

[Rich]

We'll get to that next right here. CNR on FS Off.

[Listener/Caller]

Breaking news from Fox Sports guys.

[Caller/Guest]

On the heels of his not guilty plea earlier today, Tiger woods just released a statement saying he's stepping away from golf. And I'll read the whole statement for you. This just from Tiger woods moments ago. Quote I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my wellbeing and work towards lasting recovery. Tiger added. Quote I'm committed to taking the time needed to return to a in a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time. That from Tiger Woods.

[Rich]

You know what a guy. No one more focused than Tiger when he wants something.

[Covino]

Right?

[Rich]

So I. I wish him well and I'm sure he'll do fine. So Tiger woods nudes. Thank you, Dan. By take a look. You sure that's not Monsie?

[Covino]

Thanks Monty.

[Mike Tyson]

I mean, is that.

[Covino]

Oh no, I stand by her.

[Mike Tyson]

My bad.

[Rich]

Oh, sorry.

[Covino]

Yo, that shows you how bad my eyes really are. Plus I got a glare here in the studio. I can't see.

[Listener/Caller]

Covid eye.

[Covino]

Covid eye, man.

[Rich]

All these years later, before we are celebrating the anniversary of Tommy Boy and I only bring it up because Kavino and I have a theory that social media killed the movie.

[Covino]

Quote I don't think there's any question. Yeah, we stopped quoting movies in the early 2000s. They say the last great comedy was super bad. Wedding Crashers maybe.

[Rich]

And you wonder. Oh, an old school. There's a handful of movies. 40 year old virgin. They are all in the same time frame of when social media sorted started launching. And you wonder.

[Covino]

Well, there's a simple reason and it's the monoculture theory that we often bring up back before social media. We all bonded over watching Dumb and Dumber and Billy Madison a thousand times on vhs. Yeah. So we all knew the quotes, we all knew the same jokes, we all knew the same thing. And because of social media, the monoculture sort of changed and we all had different interests. The algorithm changed what we were into. We were all watching different things. So movies became less Quotable.

[Rich]

But also before the algorithm took over, it was simply scrolling took over. Watching a movie for a second, third, fourth, fifth time.

[Covino]

Like, it's a one and done world we live in.

[Rich]

You were in college, you know, if you were in college in the 2000s or 90s, you and your buddies weren't sitting around scrolling. You're like, yo, pop on Tommy Boy again. Or, yo, throw in Ace Ventura or, you know, throw on Naked Gun. Like, you. You watched and quoted all the same movies because that was the background you live in now. A background of scrolling. Look around. In any given moment, someone in the room is scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. So when you think of the movies that we all grew up with, Danny G. If you're in. If you're around our age, we live in a world where you talk to your buddy sometimes. In all movie quotes, young people quote nothing.

[Covino]

Want to hear something funny? There's so many things that we say. I had this conversation with Mike, who runs this place just the other day, who he threw out some, like, line at Clint Eastwood. Said something about make a left and blah, blah, blah. I was like, what's that?

[Mike Tyson]

Yeah.

[Covino]

So anyway, we say all these things,

[Listener/Caller]

say Mike's the last of a dying breed.

[Covino]

Well, yeah, no, we are, because Mike's what? He's 185. Mike's older than us.

[Mike Tyson]

Yeah.

[Covino]

We say things and we say things to our kids that they're gonna attribute to us not knowing. We really got it from Lloyd Christmas and Billy Madison. Yeah, right. Because we just grew up saying these things. And they're like, my dad says that all the time. Your dad says that? My dad says that, too. The art of that is done. Because these kids don't live in that quotable culture. It's just whatever's hot on social media.

[Sam]

What about, like, Skibidi toilet? And they say stuff like that.

[Mike Tyson]

Slang.

[Covino]

Slang is alive. That's slang.

[Sam]

That is great influencers.

[Covino]

Sad, though.

[Rich]

I wish.

[Listener/Caller]

I wish they did get it. Like one of our teens. Well, he's 20 now and he's pausing on college for a semester. And I told him, don't worry, a lot of people go to college. For seven years. He had no idea what I was talking about.

[Covino]

He's going to think again. He's going to think of something. My dad said they're called doctors. Right.

[Rich]

I mean, we're talking about some of the best movie quotes ever. And I think a lot of times we'll quote something. And you're right. A younger person might think it's an original thought. Like when you say to me all the time, Covino loves to do the whole so and so is losing their mind and I'm reaping all the benefits.

[Covino]

I'm quoting John Lovitz from Wedding Singer.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And you know, for all I know, my. My daughter's like. My dad says it all the time, but has no. She thinks that I made that up. Meanwhile, I'm quoting a movie.

[Rich]

Kavino, get over here. Because brothers don't shake hands. Brothers got a hug.

[Covino]

Tommy Boy, if you just joined us, turns 31 today, released March 31, 1995. Rest in peace, Chris Farley. I think it's also a movie that, that a lot of people do confuse with Black Sheep. Even though Black Sheep's not as funny and as famous as Tommy Boy.

[Sam]

I love Black Sheep, though.

[Covino]

Yeah, they're both great.

[Sam]

Both have David Spade as like the

[Rich]

side character movie is Beast.

[Covino]

That's Black Sheep.

[Rich]

Oh, that's Black Sheep.

[Mike Tyson]

Okay.

[Covino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rich]

What's housekeeping? You on mint for pillow?

[Sam]

Tommy, we should do a quiz. We should go like, which is it, Tommy Boy or Black Sheep?

[Covino]

That's Tommy boy.

[Rich]

I'm sorry, Sam, Did I catch a niner in there?

[Sam]

What's that? That's Black Sheep.

[Rich]

That's Tommy boy.

[Covino]

Ah, see, you know, I think a lot of our kids are gonna road. That's Tommy Boy. No, that's Black Sheep.

[Sam]

That's Black Sheep. When they made the nitrous.

[Mike Tyson]

Tommy Boy.

[Covino]

All right, I was wrong. I think our kids are going to have a freak out moment when they realize half the things we say we got from Adam Sandler, Chris Farley or Jimmy.

[Rich]

Please go away. Let me sleep, for the love of God.

[Covino]

Are there ones that'll never go away? Fat guy in a little coat will never go away. That's a classic. Which ones stand out to you? Hit us up at Covinoenrich at Fox Sports Radio. I'm glad to have lived in a time where we all bonded, especially in guy culture. But not just guys, you know, everybody. We all bonded by knowing and rewatching these movies and quoting them till today.

[Rich]

You guys know where the wave therm is? I'll check it out.

[Covino]

Yeah. 31 years later. That's the crazy part about it. 31 years later. It's a different culture now. Wait, hold on. Let me ask you this. When's the last time you watched a movie more than once? I mean, it happens, but it's so few and far between.

[Rich]

And by the way, I think bees is Tommy boy.

[Covino]

No, I think bees mud.

[Rich]

I meant crud. What's up?

[Sam]

That's Black Sheep. Where does Dan Aykroyd make a cameo at the end of the film?

[Rich]

That's Callahan brake pads. That's Tommy Boy.

[Sam]

You got it?

[Covino]

Yep. Because that's where he worked. That's who he was selling. Callahan brake pads.

[Rich]

Sandusky, Ohio.

[Covino]

What's up? Vote for Donnelly.

[Rich]

That's Black Sheep.

[Sam]

It's all about an election.

[Rich]

Yeah, Black Sheep.

[Sam]

What about Kill Whitey?

[Covino]

That's also Black Sheep.

[Mike Tyson]

What about.

[Listener/Caller]

I know, I just.

[Rich]

It's just hilarious. What about. Oh, Richard, hold me.

[Covino]

The best part in Black Sheep is when Chris Farley goes sliding across the stage on his stomach.

[Rich]

So, hey, maybe watch Tommy boy break it out tonight for old times sake. All right. Until tomorrow. Have a great Tuesday. Arriva der she.

[Covino]

See you in the promised land.

[Rich]

Have a good one.

[Covino]
