Pinwheel and Magic Garden and Mr. Rogers. So Steve Covino, raised by Mr. Rogers, not my parents. Rich Davis. Hi, neighbor. Spots on the videos. Danny G. Super producing off the air King Friday. Creepy or no? No, Lady Elaine was the creepiest. That hobo who looked like Barbara Corcoran. You know, the puppet that looked like the Shark Tank ladies? That's Barbara Cochrane from with the Red Nose. That scary hobo version of Barbara Corcoran. Hobo. Hobo. So back to the discussion at hand. We're going to get to Showtime, Mahomes trivia and giveaway prizes. But we're talking about is it wrong to not care about preseason football? Is it Even watchable. But that's coming from a place of where we're really pumped about the actual season. No one more pumped than Rich Davis. When it comes to football and smut, Rich is like a kid in a candy store. That's sort of why I love Vegas so much. Right. So is it wrong to not care about the preseason off the air? Iowa Sam said something interesting. I don't know how factual it is, but it's interesting to say the least. Danny G. Is making the point that, yeah, man, you're giving people the chance to show what they got and you're seeing some stars work things out and some cool storylines with young players that might not get the opportunity, but you're seeing their storyline play out. Iowa Sam is saying, dude, it's just a money grab for TV and for concessions. You're still selling tickets. So it's two more games. Two or three more games are adding. And as you know, season ticket holders can't skip out on those. They have to buy those as part of the season ticket package. So there's nothing of value with preseason. And I know, Danny, you're saying there's battles to be won. I feel like those are won in camp and practice. Well, but this doesn't happen every off season or every preseason. But I was thinking back to the 2014 preseason. The Raiders gave a huge amount of money to Matt Schaub and Derek Carr was, you know, fourth round pick and he was a backup and it was the first look that Oakland got at him. He lit it up in the preseason. The final preseason game was against the Seattle Seahawks. Starters for three quarters. He threw three of his four touchdowns against the defensive starters for the Seahawks won the job. They sat shop on the bench. So it doesn't happen all the time, but if you have a kick ass preseason, the team will move you up. It has to be exceptional. It has to be exceptional. You're right. It ha. But like Dan Buyer is a big Seahawks guy. Like when they gave Matt Flynn all that money after one good game on the Packers. Essentially they went with Russ because Pete Carroll said we want to go with Russell Wilson, correct? Yeah, yeah. Third. Third round pick. It happens on occasion. But I was. Sam was pretty adamant that, well, you're saying no decisions are made based on that. You notice like it's like when you have a job and you're trying to show the boss what you got. You're willing to work the holidays and you think it's going to pay off. Like, dude, I worked every holiday so I'm going to keep my job, man. Maybe I'll get a promotion. But it really leads you to nowhere. That's true. I was saying that about preseason. You could have the best preseason, but it's really not going to get you the job. I think the average fan out there thinks that the preseason, your preseason performances are like a third of the pie of decision made on you. Yeah, more like maybe. Like I've heard NFL former NFL players say preseason games really don't matter. And it's a decision making process most of the time. Maybe for a Derek Carr. I think the holiday analogy is funny because early on in my career I used to think that too. Like I'm putting in the extra hours on a holiday and I'm like, my boss is in the Hamptons chilling out. Do you think he even knows what I'm doing right now? I vividly remember Memorial day weekend like 20 plus years ago. They're like, hey, can you run the board for The Coca Cola 600 again? Not the 500, 600 miles. Sure, boss. You know, absolutely. He's going to pay off dividends. Buyer. Yeah. Did not happen. It didn't work, didn't help. And that's probably why you have that feeling. Rich, of is it wrong to not care about preseason? Rich is a Niners fan. I feel like you're a little spoiled because your team has been a perennial contender. Rich, for how many years now you're saying that's a fair point. The window, obviously people think maybe it's closing or closed. But look for the teams where all you have is hope. All you have is the NFL draft. The preseason, I feel like, is a little bit of an extension of the draft. Your first glimpse of your draft picks, your first glimpse of your free agent pickups. Yeah. And I've arrived moments. That was the headline over the weekend on all the sports websites. Genti, I've arrived. He had that moment. Remember Jeremy Shockey had that moment back in 2002. I get it. You're going to see glimmers of greatness for some of these players. But I compared it to spring training baseball, where, you know, your ace, I don't know. But you know, back in the day, Verlander, Kershaw could have a 6 ERA in spring training and some young, young kid could pitch three games, give up no runs, his ERA can be zero. But they're like, yeah, you're going to start the season in double A. It's, it's not really of a reflection of where you're going, like right now. The Niners last game in a meaningless game two of the preseason. Robbie chosen, who you guys might remember as Robbie Anderson, who changed his name. He's trying to fight for a job. Five catches for 92 yards. Nora, you're absolutely right. We like to be overly exceptional because that all the things we're talking about, they also apply in like the lowest levels of the sport. Like even if you made high school baseball, you're probably going to make it the next year. And that other guy who's trying out, he may have a way better tryout than you, but he's not going to make the team because he wasn't on it the year before. Dude, I'm doing. It has to be like exceptionally good. I'm doing evaluations for 8 year olds this Saturday. I know the kids have played All Stars last year. If they don't have a good practice, they're still probably going to make it. So the kid that's going to make it has to be so much better than all the other kids. One of the things that's changed in the recent NFL is more of the joint practices with teams. So when you're practicing with them for a couple of days, the game kind of the work's already been done that week. You get your real look at the team outside of the game situation because you're at the training camp fields doing your work. That's changed a lot of it as well, which is I think diminished the actual games because teams feel that they got in a lot of work during those joint practice sessions with other teams. They didn't. They usually never did that. Would never practice with another team. I think we all, even though it's. Nothing's official, I feel like the NFL and Roger Goodell, who you got to give credit where credit's due. The NFL seems to make no mistakes for the most part. Oh no, I think they did. They have a new partner that we're going to talk about. Oh, okay. I think they made a mistake. They, they just made a new multi year licensing deal. It's a mistake. I think it was a weak move. Let's talk about that right now. But let me say, Roger Goodell, for all the booze and crap he gets, and I get it, the NFL, maybe they haven't handled certain players and situations with crime and everything the right way and punishments. But as far as like the actual league itself and scheduling, we all know where it's going, right? 18 games, two preseason games, two by weeks. Season's going to line up with the Super Bowls Right before a holiday weekend. And it is a holiday weekend. And that's the. That's the ending point. Because two seasons. But you say 18 games, but those two preseason games, that's 20 games. And I bet you. I bet. Well, there's no doubt there's 20 games. They're way more lucrative than they are. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, yeah, I mean, it's, you know, so we'll take a few phone calls on it and I'll tell you about the weak ass move that the NFL actually did make. I call it a whammy. Rich. Weak ass move, whammy. I think it's catching on. What do you think? I think it's definitely a weak ass move. Whammy. David in Missouri. What's up, man? Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Thank you. Your show's for sure gotten me through a bunch of road rage throughout the years. So anyways, thanks, man. So I don't think it's a bad thing to not be hyped up about the preseason. The way I see it, it's the same the way I feel about spring football. You know, it's April. You're just wanting football back so bad, and they roll out this watered down product, and you're like, this doesn't scratch my itch at all, bro. David. It took David from Missouri to make the analogy that it's sort of like the XFL or usfl. Like, you're like, I love football so much. How come I can't connect to this at all? That's how I feel about preseason football. And when I hear co workers and guys I respect, like Colin, so fired up about, did you see Caleb Williams? She's showing some shines. I'm like, I just can't. Like, I can't. I want to feel that enthusiasm. Williams was looking good, though. I know, but it's like, to me, it's like, against who? I can't wait for two weeks, two days. I like this discussion because countdown's on, Broski. Sometimes in life you feel like, is there something wrong with me? Why don't I care the way I should? That's how I feel when, like Star wars movies come out, right? And you're like, but Rich is being honest. And I feel him too. And hopefully letting you know that it's okay to not really care that much about preseason football. Once the season starts in a few weeks, my attention shifts. But right now I'm more concerned about the Mets nationals tonight. I want to see if the Yankees lose tonight against The Rays. Because you and I have a bet. I want to see if Danny's Dodgers could keep the momentum from that Padres series because they lost to the Rockies yesterday. You nailed it right there. Though your brain is still in baseball mode. I don't think you switch. Rich, I've known you now for five years. I don't think your brain switches over until the first week of the regular season. Well, if his team sucks, it does. Yeah. Yeah, so? And historically, the Mets are not very good often, so maybe that's part of it. You're right. So what's the whammy? The weak ass move the NFL has made. Weak ass move? NFL whammy you say? Yeah, it's really catching on. Everybody saying whammy. What's the whammy? What's the weak ass move? Let's hear it, buddy. The NFL and Crocs have announced a multi year licensing deal. Oh, players. Big, big ass linemen. Three 400 pound dudes are going to have their feet all comfy in these Crocs. What a pathetic look for grown men. I understand if you're a little schoolbo boy who doesn't know how to tie his shoes and you throw those on. I get that. I was in the sauna yesterday. Which is a whole conversation in itself. Rich. I'm a sauna kind of guy. You wear clothes in the sauna? Yeah. What, do you strip down? It's co ed. What do you mean do I wear clothes at the gym? We're going to be there naked doing push ups. No, I don't mean naked. If I go to the gym, will you take your shirt off? No, not in the sauna. Nobody does. Every guy takes their shirt off in the sauna. Now when I'm there, let me snap a picture for you. Yeah, do it. Let me say that wouldn't be creepy at all. Ah, there's a guy there wearing Crocs and he's so sweaty in his stupid rubber Swiss cheese shoes. What are you wearing in the sauna? He dumps the sweat out of his croc and I hear it splattering all over the floor. Question. I'm like, how gross is this? You're wearing full clothes in a sauna. What are you wearing on your feet in the sauna? You're not supposed to wear your sneakers. But you do. But everyone does, so I wear my suit. He was wearing his squeakers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but how gross is that? They're, they're hospital sandals. There's a purpose if you're on a boat or Working in a hospital. I get it. Or if you just want to look like a total buffoon. Chefs like crocs, too. I hear right, Chefs get it again. Again. Function. Sometimes function over fashion. I totally understand. But if you're out there and about, they're rocking these things, you should take it off and hit yourself over the head with your own croc Camino. What comedian that we've hung with in the past who has their bit about crocs? Like, one minute. Oh, I think it's Brian Regan. I don't know. That's just coming to mind. A comedian does a bit where it's a progression. No, it's Adam Kroll, I believe. Slippers. It's really best slippers, I believe. We talked about this with Adam Crollo when he was on our show. Oh, yeah. What you do is you get crocs and you say, yeah, I'm just going to wear them to take out the trash. And then that goes to. Yeah, I'm just going to walk around the block. Then you're like, well, I'm just going to pick up some takeout. And then you slowly but surely start opening your world up to crocs. And before you know it, you're the weenie that's wearing crocs around town. Yeah. And that's the truth. Because I do own one pair of crocs, and I wear them when I'm like, you know, doing a little gardening around the house or if I'm, you know, skimming the pool or something. That's how it starts. And that's how it starts. No one can see you in your backyard. Where I should be. I will never wear them on adventure, even if it's dropping my kids off at school. Like, I'll. And we understand they're comfortable, but so is a. I always say this. So is a pillow hat. Are you gonna wear a pillow hat around town? Are you gonna wear a pillow on your ass because it's comfy? No. Be a grown up. These are little boy shoes. You big baby. Pillow pantry. You big sports baby. And on the anniversary of the debut of Shark Tank, which was on this day in 09. Pillow hats. Huh? Did you wear that? It feels. It sounds comfy. Would you wear that noggin boss. Like, would you really wear that? These are the most ridiculous things. And we've been fighting this fight for years, and we lost the war, but, you know, I'm still going to fight this battle. Great. On a red eye. Just because you're wearing it and it has your Team logo on it. Doesn't make it less ugly. I'm sorry. So is that the exception now? I wrote down the power of the NFL because Danny G. Is like, I might rock some rate of ones. Yeah, it makes a difference. If your team's logo is suddenly on a Croc. I don't know how much I would actually wear it, but I would maybe get them as a gift from somebody. I had a birthday party back in the day, and every gift I opened, it was me and the radio station staff. Just about every gift, I opened it, something Raiders. And I heard our afternoon DJ in the background. He's like, man, this is like a cholo party. Yeah. Oh, Raider. Oh, man, a Raiders toothpaste, everything. It was Raiders this, Raiders that. So I could a Raiders next. That would be like a cool. What is that elephant gift to give somebody. The white elephant. That'd be a great white elephant. And you rock them as slippers around your house. But again, you'll realize they're comfortable, and next thing you know, you're wearing them to the supermarket. And let me ask you, is this a good enough reason to wear them? What are your thoughts? Because I think it's ridiculous. I still have. I hate them. Here's another reason to not wear them. One time I lost a bet, and it's the only time I wore Crocs, right? So I had a pair of Crocs, and I lost the bet. My ex told me to run out to do something real quick. I forget what it was. In an emergency, I grabbed these ridiculous clown shoes, right? In an emergency, I put them on my feet reluctantly. But it was the first thing I saw. Got in the car, and it was, like, the one bad accident. I really got in, and I had to get out, like, total, totally humiliated of the car wearing Crocs. Police are there. This guy's looking at me. Insult to injury. Who's the driver of this car? I was that ass clown with the Crocs. I was the loser wearing Crocs. Like, bright orange Crocs. Like, how embarrassing. Did your Crocs get jammed under the gas pedal so you couldn't break? You know what they remember? Bulbous. But I remember feeling like the ultimate loser. I'm like, not only am I here on the side of the road causing this commotion right now, you know, hating my life that I just got in this accident, but I'm wearing Crocs. So Rich is gonna. Richard says, yeah, they're just for around the house. And then it progresses and progress. Rich is gonna be Buried in his Crocs. He'll be in the coffin, in the casket. They're so so. And then it'll be like black Crocs at his feet. I was, sam, you know why Camino had orange Crocs? I just remembered why. Actually, this Met Yankees bet we have this year is not our first ever, as you'd imagine. Met Yankees bet it was just a regular subway series and the loser had to wear Crocs for a week. And this is when people didn't wear them as much as they do now. This is when they were like, we had to wear them for a week but not explain to anybody why we were wearing them. And I said, well, the Mets beat the Yankees. Mets. Ooh, what's the most hideous one? So I bought bright orange Crocs for Kavino. And you're right. You got in your one accident. My one bad. One bad accident. It's been going on for a while. Just a few years ago with Dan Beyer, we had a MLB bet with the loser wearing Croc watch. Crock watch, that's right. Some people around here would not think of that as a part of a losing bet. The guy that works here, professor, be an upgrade. Someone's like, hey, Chris, you gotta wear Crocs all week? He'd be like, sure. Merry Christmas. Sounds like a deal. Do they come in Detroit Lions? Yes, they do. It's like our dude Shay, who's wearing those little clogs all the time. It's like, shay, congratulations. The problem with Crocs is they look like stupid clogs with holes in them. Yeah, they're just stupid clown shoes. But would you wear them because they now represent your favorite NFL team again? If you just joined us. NFL and Crocs announced their multi year licensing deal. And I get it. A lot of money to be made there. People. People love them. Can't argue the Crocs and the money being made. Let me give you one fun fact and one stupid question. But they seem some of them have the furry insides. Did you see that, Danny G? Those could be like slippers around the house. You could rock those. It's a Tom Brady touch. Yeah. Ugg boots. Crocs combined. We were sent a pair of Uggs from Tom Brady's people years ago. And I gotta be honest, I was living in New York at the time. They were damn good boots. Oh, the boots. Yeah, they were great. They're so warm and fuzzy. All right, fun fact. Have you ever seen the movie Idiocracy? Dozens of times. So in the movie. They're trying to portray what a moron of the future would look like. And the producers said they got to put them in. And the shoes they picked were a prototype of the first ever croc because that's what they imagined morons in the future. Only a moron would choose these to buy. Right. And they need something, like, affordable. So crocs are the answer. They're French. Aren't crocs French? And I don't care if you have sports mode. It doesn't make you any cooler. These things are terrible. So, you know, I don't feel bad for my son when if he's running down the street in his crocs and he falls and skins his knee. Yeah. But Rich, I'm almost like, Your son is 5. You know what I mean? Like, think about it. Your son also wears, like, Lightning McQueen sneakers. Yeah. If you're a grown man, would you wear that? That's true. Wheels come off the bottom of little Benny shoes. Yeah. Would you wear sneakers that light up? My son has lights on his. On his shoes. Yes. Sports babies. So let me. Let me ask you one dumb question, and then we'll get to Mahomes trivia next. So if you want to play the numbers 87799 on Fox, we're going to give away a prize again. Call now. 87799 on Fox. Multiple choice. Multiple choice. Easy breezy, summer girl. Mike, one question. What is your most embarrassing piece of sports gear that you maybe haven't even worn or someone bought you? Because I saw something last year that I thought was something completely different. And if I lose a bet this football season, I may meet to wear them in here. I thought they were like a thicker, baggier SweatPant. I bought 49ers sweats that are gold with white and red stripes on the side. They look like the niners football pants. I thought they were, like, comfy, like baggier sweats. They're a little tight, so that's so funny. So I may have to rock those, like the Joe Montana specials. I may offend someone. They might be too bulges to wear in the studio, But I have, like, ridiculous 49. They look like football pants, but they're sweats. Man, I can't wait to see these. Yeah, I'll break those out this season. All right. Hey, listen, Mahomes trivia next. Next. Having some fun. Covino and Rich, Fox sports radio.

All right, Patrick Mahomes. I'm here, and I wish I got to throw to this icon. How many total receiving yards did the great Jerry Rice finish his career with? Is it A, 22,895, B, 18,675, or C, 25,155? Mike, Mike. I'm gonna go with A. You are right. Bingo. Was his name. O. Actually, Jerry Rice was his name. 22,895. Yeah. Mike, halfway to a CNR prize already. As we move to round two. All right, what was I once quoted saying about failure? Oh, A, don't let failure define you. Use it as a stepping stone to learn and grow. B, I use failure to fuel my fire and I come back twice as strong. Or C, if I let failure define me, then I would have never bounced back from the Raiders destroying me on Christmas 2023. Mike. Mike for the win. B. Yeah. No. I thought he had it. No. Now I feel Rich. Rich for the steal. Hey, hey. Yeah. Pretty easy to get. That corner boy said it. Don't let failure define you. Use it as a stepping stone to learn and grow. It's not the Raider one. No. Okay. All right. So Mike and Rich both on the board as we move to round three. Patrick Mahomes here. Who was the first African American head coach to win a Super Bowl? Was it A, Mike Tomlin, B, Dennis Green, or C, Tony Dungy? Dam. Oh, damn. Meyer got in there. Tony dungy. Yes. Right. 2007. Way to go, D.B. all right, we got a three way tie on our hands. Mike, Rich and D.B. as we go to round four. What team has the longest consecutive streak of playoff appearances? Is it A The Oakland Slash. Los Angeles Raiders. B, New England Patriots, or C, the Dallas Cowboys. Mike, Mike, for the win. C, the Cowboys. No. Aw. What was the question again? Way to pay attention. What team has the longest consecutive streak of playoff appearances? So this is current or is this just like an all time streak? I'll just say A. I'm just gonna say A. I don't even. What were the Oakland LA Raiders? New England Patriots? Cowboys. Wow. The answer is B, the New England Patriots. 11 seasons, 2009-2019. That Brady Belichick dynasty there. I don't think you. I don't think you read that. The really good. Patrick. I'm just saying, round five and we still have a three way tie. Let me read it three times for you. Maybe you need some Q tips. What team has the longest consecutive streak of playoff appearances? Playoff appearances. Okay, that's fair then. Okay. All right. Why are you getting so upset, Patrick? Who does this guy think he is? Because he lost the super bowl last year? Kind of acting like that guy Kavina, when you say current, longest streak, it sounds like it's an accident. Hey, man, I don't write the questions right. Hey, you guys need to back off. I'm a busy guy, all right? The word current, I got a game worry about. Current shouldn't be in there. Current's not in there. It's not round five. He's going off script. What? What city did the Rams originally play in? A, Cleveland, B, Baltimore or C, Cincinnati? Dan Byer for the win. Cleveland. Yes. Mike. He gave you a beat. He gave you a beat. That is Dan Byers 21st victory in this game. Damn DB, by the way, Cleveland, founded in Cleveland 1936, relocated in LA 10 years later. And guys, have a great one. Always good to see you. Thank you, buddy. And Mike, Mike in Oklahoma, we appreciate you playing. Anytime. You might as well say a prayer for Danny's Raiders too, while you're at it. Max Crosby will have something to say about that as he's chasing you. Yeah, thank you, Mike. I appreciate it. Say a parent for Brack Bauer's hairline. Thought you were gone. All right, later, guys. Bye. Yeah, speaking of Brack Bauer's hairline, Great transition, Patrick. Hey, Kavina. Coming up next, I do want to talk about Brock Bauer's hairline because he shaved it all high, as they said. He took it home. As Scott Van Pelt would say, he's got the Baldo Ronaldo and he's only 22, but hey, man, it happens early for a lot of people when it comes to deciding if you're going to shave your head completely. Is that a question of whether or not? Not just. I mean, does. Does everyone think they could pull off the I'm going to have a beard with a shaved head look? The old, like, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Yeah. He was also reluctant. There was a story recently he was telling about how. What was his original wrestling name again? Stunning Steve Austin. Stunning Steve Austin didn't want to shave his head for a long time. You know Big Mike, who runs this place? Yeah. He invented. He was saying, my wife, I had to convince her for three years. She wants. She wanted him to keep, like, the receding hairline. He's like, I want to shave her. He had, like, the comb over, like, the Rob Reiner sort of look, but. And his wife thought it was hot. Either that. See, here's the thing. Your wife will be supportive or she'll tell you lies. Like, no, I like it like that. The Costanza is great. Dr. Phil's hot. But they're trying to keep you out of the game. Always keep that in mind, too. Stop it. They're trying to keep you out of the game. Mike's wife was trying to keep him out of the game. He's way cooler with the stone cold look. Way cooler. But here's my thought. But is it for everybody, is your question? My thought is not everyone truthfully, is as vain as you are. And I'm right up there with you. I mean, you're the guy. You. There's not a mirror that you didn't look in. You look at reflections. You go to the bathroom in between breaks to give yourself. You call it the Hattie. Do you look at your hair? That's because I'm sick of looking at you all day. Did you guys see what Renfro, Hunter Renfro said about Brock Bowers? Former. Former Raider. Now he's what? Panthers. Panther. Now he says Brock's one hell of a football player, but he's a quitter. He says that we balding men in our 20s are proud people. We don't retreat on our hair just because it's retreating from our forehead. No. Yeah, he quit. Well, I mean, dare I say, like, listen, women get a lot of stuff done, and we don't think twice about it. In fact, women culture with women is to get Botox and fillers and boobs and butt lifts. And it's like a part of, like, unfortunately or fortunately a part of society. If I'm Brock Bowers and I looked it up with Danny because I needed to Find out like, what's his OG contract? Because he'll get paid in a couple years. But right now he even has a $18 million guarantee. Why would Brock Bowers, a young handsome guy, star in the NFL? He doesn't need to go to Turkey. Why wouldn't this guy just get hair implants? You know, I'm looking at him now. Why not? See, his hair was thinning in year one 21. He's 22 years old now. He's got the complete bald dome going on. And I got a normal shape. You know, I, I say this because there are a few reasons why a guy wouldn't do it right. A, yeah, some guys just don't care. Yeah. But some guys frown at vanity and frown at caring about how you. So what I'm saying, he may be. Guys in the NFL might be like, yeah, it's, it's. Maybe it's like Rich. He's, he's. I'm sorry, Kuvian. I was just going to say he's well known to be super folk, like hyper focused on football. Like he doesn't do anything else. His teammates say he does football. Football 24, 7. That's all he cares that much. Might make you appear soft in the NFL. Like for some people. I don't know. Greg Olson, didn't he have thinning hair? And he has like great hair now. Wade Boggs. Wade Boggs. See that Pompadour. My point is, my, my point is there's only a couple reasons a guy wouldn't do this. A, he does just in care, and that's understandable. Some guys are not vain. I understand this. B, they don't have the resources or funds. They don't have the money. Not the case with Brock Bowers. Or C, someone might be scared of medical procedures that are unnecessary, but athletes are constantly getting operations and surgeries and touch ups and, you know, getting bone fragments taken out. You think a hair replacement surgery would bother a guy like Brock Bowers? No way. So I say do it. Brock come back with a pompadour? Was it Brian Erlacher that had a hair transplant? It was. He was. Right. Yeah, I remember. It's like a few other people. There should be no shame in the game. Didn't John Cena recently say that the fans peer pressured him into getting hair? He said his biggest regret was not doing it sooner. Yeah, he said it was. It changed his life by getting the hair. Like his career trajectory, like it revitalized him. Well, Joe, Joe Buck had several hair transplants. He said after like his eighth one. He said he was addicted to it. He almost like it. He almost lost his voice. Like it caused like a medical complication. Joe Buck is the equivalent of the woman that's had like six poob jobs. All right, let's go. We all know one of them. Let's go to Dan Beyer for an update. What's up, tb? When I made the joke about but Rich being the good looking one, it was like I stole Covino's dog. I know the look on his face. Like there was no. There was no. Wait a second here. What's going on? Vanity? I was like, that's a matter of opinion. My mom says I'm the most handsome. There was no lean back of the chair. It was a straight stand up from Covino. Check the tape. Daniel Jones has been named as the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts to open the regular season, winning the job over Anthony Richardson. This was Shane Steichen with the announcement earlier today Daniel Jones would be our starting quarterback this season. You know, I don't want to have a quick leash on that. I feel confident in his abilities now. Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan could miss half the season because of a sprained neck. That's according to the Tampa Bay Times. Giants activated left tackle Andrew Thomas from the PUP list. Saints have the Broncos in a preseason finale on Saturday. We expect after that Kellen Moore the saint said coach will name their starting quarterback. Says he's really, really close to naming a starter. It'll either be Spencer Rattler or rookie Tyler Shook. Cubs beat the brewers today six to four. Fever forward Sophie Cunningham going to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Pacers gave head coach Carlisle a contract extension according to Mark Stein. And former number one overall pick John Wall announced his retirement from the NBA after 11 seasons. Was a five time all star leaves as the Wizards fourth all time leading score. Guys, back to you. Thank you. Thank you. Dan Beyer. As I see Scubal about to take the mound. The Tigers about to start their game in a little bit. Do you see what his whip is? If you don't know whip this that walks and hits per inning pitched. Whip, whip, whip, 0.87. Do you realize how ridiculous that is? He leads the league but 0.87 whip. Whip, whip. Well, speaking of Brock Bowers and his life change. Yeah, again taking it home like you said. Quip. There's another story in the NFL and it's about Bucs rookie tackle Desmond Watson whip and why he's so sad right now and why he needs to make another significant life change and we want to talk about what inspired you to make that significant life change.

There was that misunderstanding that they were getting rid of smelling salts. And it was like, no, no, that's not the case. That it was overblown. And he's like, hey, I would do it if you want. Would you guys do smelling salts if we ordered them and got them in here? Have you ever done smelling salts? I would like to see. Apparently, they knock you on your ass. Would you take other people? Try it. And they're like, whoa. Because you're not supposed to get up that close to it. And people make that mistake and burn out their sinuses. Why don't we do a whole week of trials? We can do, like, tasering one day. That'd be fun. I mean, anything to promote the new YouTube channel, right? Let's do it. Yeah. Sam, will you be tasered for us? We'll tase that with Sam. I got some jumping cables. We could put them on Rich's nipples. Yeah, the jumper cables on our nipples. I'll do smelling salt. Yeah, let's. I'll order some. I want to see if. If it's as crazy as they say, because I see, I. Danny, she uses that boomstick. Is that any good? I do, yeah. Does it really open up your sinuses, though, or does it wake you up? No, it opens up your sinuses, but it works. You say sticky, then we'll take Viagra one day. Would you say Viagra one day? I'm joking. You said we're going to try different. Different products. We think, well, Cool Whip. Something to look forward to. We mentioned that Brock Bowers made a change. He shaved his head. Yeah. Someone else in the NFL needs to make a change, and the evidence is pretty obvious. Bucs rookie tackle Desmond Watson can't practice with the rest of the team. And they posted the most miserable video of him, like, hitting bags by himself. Like, the whole team's practicing, and he's like. They're basically on the swings all by himself. Lonely. Just being like, somebody play with me. Why can't he play? The whole team left him flat to say that when we were kids. Why can't he play the rest of the team flat levers. You know why? Because an alligator bit his damn hand off? No, because he weighs 450 pounds. He is the biggest player in the NFL. Yeah. He can't practice with the rest of the team until he loses weight. That's sort of like his punishment. But when, if he, if he practiced, then he'd burn more calories and he'd lose weight, I guess. Why can't. Is there like some medical reason? Like. Yes. Okay, so it's a medical reason. It has. I couldn't think about any other reason. Dude, he weighs 450 pounds. So again, big boy. And that's why they signed him. He's got a lot of potential, but he can't weigh that much. Yeah. And safely play the game. So what is the breaking point for you or what was it for you to finally make that life change? Because this dude really needs to turn it around. And that video's just sad. What did you type? Danny G. Likes the saddest thing you'll see all day. Yeah, I felt you feel bad for him. He's just there by himself. He wants to play so badly. It's like Napoleon with the tetherball. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that. If you haven't seen the clip, you got to look it up. It doesn't get much sadder than this. There's speculation he's not going to make the regular season roster. He's just sort of there. Well, shame. Why did they draft him then? They knew this going in. Yeah. So again, he is not allowed to practice or playing games until he loses more weight. And for Spy. But his major life change, We've talked about this in the past. He lost a lot of weight and got in shape because of health issues. Yeah. Because of that. Maybe you wouldn't let him produce until he lost weight. Yeah. I said, you know what, man, you can't play with us anymore. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, arriva dirche, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye, guys. Bye, YouTube.
