Episode Overview

This episode features Covino and Rich in their signature humorous, conversational style, discussing the nuances of sports fandom, sports bar nostalgia, quarterback trades in the NFL, brand loyalty, and playful banter about popular culture. The crew also hosts NFL trivia (Showtime Mahomes), chats about changing restaurant cultures, pokes fun at mispronunciations, and debates the meaning behind seemingly casual football trades—especially Joe Flacco's move. The tone is fast-paced, light, and heavily reliant on listener nostalgia and cultural touchstones.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Sports Bar/Restaurant Nostalgia and Food Memories (03:29–08:13)

• Topic: The hosts reminisce about classic chain restaurants—Bennigan’s, Fridays, Houlihan’s, Chili’s—and their distinctive dishes.

• Highlight: Bennigan's "Turkey O'Toole" and its introduction of the pretzel bun are fondly recalled.

• Transition: Discussion spins into "Fat Guy Radio," where favorite meals and memories of watching big games at these spots are shared.

• Generational Shift: The hosts note how younger generations no longer share the tradition of watching games at these restaurants.

  “Of all the chain restaurants that are sort of going away, unfortunately, do you have a top tier one of the Bennigans and Fridays and Houlihans and Chili’s?” — Rich Davis [05:41]

• Notable Quote:

  "I work there and I still stand by it. Usually working at a place, you sort of ruins it for you... No, I loved it, and I still put that as a top." — Steve Covino [05:57]

---

2. Levels of Sports Fandom and "Casual vs. Die-Hard" (08:13–13:50)

• Observation: Rich describes his experience at a gym where many wore Dodgers gear but few actually watched the game, questioning the authenticity of LA fandom.

• Debate: Sam Spot and others defend varying degrees of sports fanaticism. The panel discusses how "true" fans engage with their teams, contrasting mere apparel with deep investment.

• Analogies: They compare sports fandom to music fandom, referencing Taylor Swift as an example.

  “Levels of fans, right? There’s levels of so many. That’s right. ... There’s some people that are music fans, and then there’s like, no, no, no. There’s music fans that know cuts of albums and singers of groups...” — Rich Davis [11:18]

• Notable Moment: Rich’s exasperation at supposed "fans" missing key playoff games, and Danny G's story of watching Raiders while at a Rams game.

• Notable Quote:

  “If you’re a fan, fan, you..There’s no way you wouldn’t be locked in during a postseason game.” — Rich Davis [12:06]

---

3. Flacco Trade Breakdown: Is This A “Cheeks” Move? (14:06–22:28)

• Context: Joe Flacco is traded from the Browns to the Bengals—hosts break down whether this signals disrespect ("he's cheeks/azz") or an opportunity.

• Analogy: Rich uses a colorful dating metaphor: giving a player to a division rival is like letting a friend date your ex you don’t care about.

  “But when you give up a player to a division rival...my analogy that’s a little dirty would be, oh, I can’t wait if you were, like, hooking up with some girl...and your buddy, like, oddly is like, hey, do you mind if I talk to her? And you're like, I don't care what the hell you do…” — Rich Davis [17:44]

• Cultural Fun: The crew jokes about name mispronunciations—“Joey Flacco,” “Marriott” vs. “Marriott,” and “Denzel” vs. “Denzel.”

  “Sometimes it's how you first learned it, and then it stays that way the older you get.” – Steve Covino [15:14]

---

4. UFC at the White House: Event or Political Statement? (22:28–24:39)

• Announcement: UFC event to be held at White House on Trump’s birthday (June 14) spurs the question—Is attending political?

• Debate: Hosts consider the optics and divisiveness but emphasize the unique, likely historic nature.

  “...if they're going to have this big event, it’s somewhat historic.” — Steve Covino [23:06]

• Rich’s Take: Attending could lead to assumptions about political allegiance, even if the interest is non-partisan.

---

5. Showtime Mahomes NFL Trivia Segment (32:55–39:16)

• Format: Patrick Mahomes (as voiced by Tony) hosts a fun NFL trivia battle between the crew and a call-in contestant.
• Vibes: Banter includes jokes about the Chiefs/“cheeks,” Taylor Swift’s new album, and trash talk about teams.
• Result: Rich Davis wins the trivia on his "birthday," with jokes about his age and George Blanda.
• Memorable Mahomes Quote:

  “Turnaround begins next week. That Colin Cowherd was right. You guys are gonna see.” — Tony as Mahomes [34:10]

---

6. Quick Hits:

• Don Mattingly & Yankee Legacy (49:51–51:41):

  • Rich and Covino reflect on Don Mattingly’s “almost a Yankee for life” status, recent return to Yankee Stadium, and the bittersweet timing of his retirement before the Yankees’ dynasty years.

• LeBron and the Hennessy Hoax (51:53–52:53):

  • Listener calls in to report from a Hennessy rep event, explaining a recent LeBron James/Hennessy partnership announcement and the memorable reveal moment—winking at the ambiguousness of LeBron’s “decision” narrative.

    “The lights go down...here walks in LeBron in this white screen...He made the vsop, so that’s huge for Hennessy and huge for you guys.” — Call-in Hennessy rep [52:48]

[Rich Davis]

Don't tell me what to do. By the way, shout outs to my dude, Liam Cohen today. Duvall. Not that he's my dude. I just think it's funny how he. Your. Your reputation could go from people rolling their eyes and mocking you to, oh, they got something going on there when you win. It happened with Dan Campbell in Detroit when everyone's like, oh, biting kneecaps. And they mocked him.

[Steve Covino]

I mean, when I worked at Bennigan's, people mocked me too. I was serving samplers in Turkey O Tools. You know what I used to say to everybody? One day I'm gonna be a radio star.

[Rich Davis]

You'll see.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, whatever.

[Rich Davis]

You're the Turkey O tool.

[Steve Covino]

We need cheese sticks on table eight. You're the Turkio tool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Bartender, we need a Monte Cristo at table 12. I'm like, you know what?

[Rich Davis]

One day I'm gonna be.

[Steve Covino]

You're full of hot air until you prove everybody wrong.

[Rich Davis]

You know?

[Steve Covino]

You know, you gotta walk the talk. And that's why LeBron James, who maybe we'll touch on today because he had a weak ass announcement.

[Rich Davis]

I don't think he deserves it.

[Steve Covino]

Well, I'm saying that's one of the reasons he gets so much flack. It never went away. Not five, not six. You got to back it up. You got to back it up.

[Dr. J]

Three, not four.

[Sam Spot]

That company better pay you multi millions into your checking account immediately if you piss off millions of people.

[Rich Davis]

We know your add your ADD My ADD Went blazing. When you said Bennigan's, you mentioned the Turkey o'. Toole.

[Steve Covino]

By the way, if you're not familiar with Bennegan's. Yes, I did work there in the late 1900s.

[Rich Davis]

Who is not familiar with Bennegan's?

[Steve Covino]

I don't know if it was completely national, but it's like an Applebee's or Chili's from back in the day.

[Rich Davis]

Well, hold on. Dan Byer, Danny G. I was saying, you've heard of Bennigan's, right? Yeah, we used to have one at our mall.

[Sam Spot]

I had never heard of it until Covino brought it up on our site.

[Rich Davis]

They had a sandwich, Danny G. Called the Turkey o'. Toole. And it was my first introduction, and I think a lot of people's introduction. Can I tell you, it was to the pretzel bun?

[Steve Covino]

I would say, yeah. It was on a sourdough pretzel bu. With their signature honey mustard.

[Sam Spot]

Tell us more.

[Rich Davis]

Fat Guy Radio.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, if you want to do Fat Guy Radio, man, this sandwich really melted in your mouth. I'm not even a big turkey sandwich guy, but I think it had provolone, right?

[Rich Davis]

Provolone, turkey, honey mustard. Yeah, it was.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, man, it really was.

[Rich Davis]

So we'll take a time out from NFL for a second for an edition of Fat Guy Radio. Of all the chain restaurants that are sort of going away, unfortunately, do you have a top tier one of the Bennigans and Fridays and Houlihans and Chili's?

[Steve Covino]

I work there and I still stand by it. Usually working at a place, you sort of ruins it for you because you know what goes into it or you're.

[Rich Davis]

Just sort of sick of it.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, no, I loved it, and I still put that as a top. Fridays was always a big date spot back in those days.

[Rich Davis]

You could argue this place is a step above those. But I'm always down for a Yard House.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, I think I step above that.

[Rich Davis]

I think it might be a step above. Yeah. Great.

[Dan Byer]

Great food at Yard House. Absolutely. But when I see the red and white stripes of Fridays, there's just no, like, other feeling like it.

[Rich Davis]

That Jack Daniel sauce. Oh, my God. Now it's no longer.

[Dan Byer]

Now it's whiskey glazed. Because apparently there's. Maybe they're just not teaming up anymore. But it's the whiskey glaze, as they call it.

[Steve Covino]

I'm with you. I salivate at the front of that Jack Daniels sauce.

[Rich Davis]

DB I would get that and get a side of that SA for extra dippings.

[Steve Covino]

So good dippings.

[Dan Byer]

Sesame seed chicken. And then I've done this. I've gotten the sesame seed as an appetizer and then just went with the grilled chicken. Same thing. Like, it's all whiskey glazed, the whole deal.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, whiskey glaze.

[Steve Covino]

And by the way, not to tie it back to Fox Sports Radio. A lot of your memories probably go back to going there with a date maybe, or meeting your buds and watching a good game. That's how it was. And that's not the scene that young people live at all anymore.

[Sam Spot]

Used to go to the Yard House in Burbank every Sunday to watch the Raiders.

[Rich Davis]

What was that? Didn't Chili's had some type of queso dip? Some.

[Steve Covino]

I think Chili's is actually having a bit of a comeback.

[Rich Davis]

That's a skillet.

[Dan Byer]

What was their skillet dip?

[Rich Davis]

What was that? A queso skillet.

[Steve Covino]

It was a queso skillet that it came in. And I'm not even joking you. I clear as day. Rich not only remember going to these places to watch big games, I remember waiting tables during the World series and like, 98, 96. I remember, you know, making runs, watching the game. So my point is, there was a time in all of our lives where you were talking a big game, and either you delivered on it or you didn't. And that's what makes the difference.

[Rich Davis]

My big takeaway is that the turkey old tool is great.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And the whiskey glaze. Oh, my goodness. Can I bring up one other observation? And then my ADD will be solved for the day, and we'll move on to something else.

[Steve Covino]

Chili's had the baby back ribs.

[Rich Davis]

This is no diss on the west side, the West Coast. But yesterday after the show, I went to the gym because, you know, hit your mid-40s, guys. Just work a little extra hard.

[Steve Covino]

Girls for the girls.

[Rich Davis]

My birthday, you know, you hit your 40s and you're like, all right, I got that. You know, got to work harder. I'm at the gym, and there's only one TV on the Dodgers Phillies game. And I looked around the gym.

[Steve Covino]

You know, I think one word, pathetic.

[Rich Davis]

I looked around Danny G. And I commented on this. I left a video on my Instagram story in disgust because I saw it. I looked around and I saw. I counted. I saw nine people with Dodger hats or T shirts on. So let me tell you, LA people represent the Dodgers. But you know what they are? They're. They're full of baloney.

[Sam Spot]

No, you can't call them the LA Dodger fans, though. Rich Dodge, a real Dodger fan is not going to be in the middle of two miles of cardio.

[Rich Davis]

Someone told me that. Go to Echo. Go to Echo Park. Go to downtown la.

[Sam Spot]

Yeah, I said, you go deeper into LA and then tell me that they're not going to have the Dodgers game on all the TVs. No Sherman Oaks. I'm sorry, it's not Los Angeles.

[Rich Davis]

I get it is Los Angeles.

[Sam Spot]

It's not Dodger.

[Steve Covino]

Los Angeles transplants, you know, we're from the East Coast. It's really disappointing though, because I experienced that a lot as Rich did yesterday. It's like, you guys for real right now. How do you not have it on?

[Rich Davis]

Dan By. It's wild.

[Dan Byer]

Well, I was going to say, I try to give the license plate frame people the benefit of the doubt when I know that their team is playing at that point. Like maybe this poor guy's at work and he's. I know he's got the game on the radio though, as he's listening to the Rams. As the. As he has his Rams license plate frame.

[Rich Davis]

I just, it dawned on me at the gym when I was. I was doing triceps, you know, a little rope pull down deal little. The guy next to me had a Dodgers hat and a Dodgers T shirt on. And I was like, all right, I'm going to observe this guy because the one TV across the room is the only one with the Dodgers game on. And this guy must have thought I was into him or something because I kept looking at him like, is he going to glance at the tv? This guy is wearing a Dodgers hat and a Dodgers shirt. There's one TV in front of like the treadmills on the far side that I kept myself going back to look at just because I'm a sports fan. Did the treadmills have the little personal tv? They did not.

[Steve Covino]

And you think the treadmills we go to have personal TVs? We're lucky if they work full selection.

[Rich Davis]

That's no, we go to the weakest gym until we get that damn Patrick money.

[Steve Covino]

Until we get that DP money.

[Sam Spot]

We know a lot of passionate Dodger fans. And then obviously in every city where you have a winning team, you're going to see, like the Patriots. There were a lot of Patriots gear all throughout Boston and Massachusetts. And not all of those people were riding with the Patriots when they were losing.

[Steve Covino]

I think what Danny G. Is saying, like, we're in the San Fernando Valley and maybe the Valley is a different type of fan.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe. But I'll say this, they're More into All Valley Karate. There's levels of fans, right? There's levels of so many. That's right.

[Sam Spot]

That's what it is.

[Rich Davis]

There's levels of fans. And again, not just fans. Anything you talk about, there's going to be levels of. There's some people that are music fans, and then there's like, no, no, no. There's music fans that know cuts of albums and singers of groups and other people. Like, I don't know who's in that band. Like, they're wearing the T shirt of.

[Steve Covino]

The band and they couldn't name you a single song week.

[Rich Davis]

Or they might be a fan of a band and you're like, they might not know the album names, but they know a couple songs they like. I just know me and how I am with my sports teams. If the Mets, maybe, because the Mets think. But when the Mets are in the playoffs, I've traveled to New York to be there at the game. Or I've. I've actually said to the boss, like, can I broadcast from home that day so I don't miss any during my commute? Like, if you're a fan, fan, you. There's no way you wouldn't be locked in during a postseason game.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, for sure.

[Rich Davis]

Like, I've seen. I've seen Covino on his phone at a restaurant during a regular season game. Like, I don't know. It's just. I witnessed Danny G. Watching a Raiders game at a Rams game. How about that? That. See, I don't disagree with that. You know, you went to a Rams game because you probably got a nice opportunity, but you're like, I still want to check out.

[Sam Spot]

Yeah, my kid wanted to go. I brought him. But I'm like, I'm watching the whole Raiders game.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, it says some people don't care as much. As simple as that.

[Rich Davis]

It's casual versus, like, die Hard. It's like, you could say the same again about music. There's people that, if anyone gives you flack, it's. What?

[Steve Covino]

Why? Because I care a lot.

[Sam Spot]

Yeah, it's casual fans versus Die Hard. That's what it is.

[Rich Davis]

Maybe. Maybe I shouldn't care so much about the casual fan. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on him. But there are times where I'm like, man, Dodgers tonight. And I'm just trying to make conversation with, like, a dad at the school, and he's like, oh, they're playing tonight. I'm like, they're playing tonight. It's the divisional series. What are you, like, like, stuff like that. Will drive me bonkers. It will drive me insane. But again, it could be music too. Like Taylor Swift just had a new album. There's Taylor Swift fans that are like, oh, I know a couple of the new songs. But then there's people that have probably listened to the album 20 times and know all the lyrics and the Easter eggs and the, you know.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Like Rich. And speaking of music, there's more to life than Taylor Swift. I don't know if Rich is aware of that, but there is. Ozzy Osbourne has a new documentary out today. So after the playoffs, you check out his new documentary called no Escape from now on Paramount plus. And I don't think you need to be a metal fan or Nazi fan to like a good story and documentary. Apparently there's lots of revelations in his story and. And I'm hearing. It's great. I'm hearing A plus documentary. So if you like a good watch. Speaking of music, check it out tonight.

[Rich Davis]

We'll see what happens when I'm done watching Sparkle Megan on Love is Blind.

[Steve Covino]

Hey, just throwing that out there.

[Rich Davis]

All right, now, you know, I know we're going to play Mahomes trivia in.

[Steve Covino]

A little bit, right? Yeah. Speaking of, though, speaking of the NFL, we were talking about the Kansas City cheeks.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

As Spotty coined them, I got to give him credit. Or are they. When it comes to Joey Flacco.

[Tony]

Being.

[Steve Covino]

That they dished him off to a division rival, is that saying that he's ass? Is he cheeks? Because I don't see it that way. I see this guy still finds work. He's still doing it, you know, good for him, great for him. But does this light his fire? And on the flip side, this makes Chidor number two. So there's a lot going on there. What are your thoughts? Are they saying Flaco's cheeks? Does he play with vengeance? Now, what are your thoughts?

[Rich Davis]

First of all, I want to say what's up to our buddy Jeff, who listens every day in Alabama.

[Steve Covino]

What up, Jeff? Jeff Edstrom.

[Rich Davis]

Nashville went to Alabama.

[Steve Covino]

Jeff's a good guy. You know what, Rich? Shout out to all the Jeffs.

[Rich Davis]

Every. In fact, every Jeff.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah, all the Jeffs.

[Rich Davis]

Jeff said one of his pet peeves is how for some reason I always say Joey Flacco instead of Flacco. So I have to say it for him. Joey Flacco. Isn't that one of your nicknames? I'm like Gronk is that clip where Gronk was trying to pronounce some wide receiver's name and he got it wrong, like, three times.

[Steve Covino]

You know what it is? Sometimes. Sometimes it's how you first learned it, and then it stays that way the older you get.

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, it was Emeka Abuka's name.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

This is what Gronk said. You got to give credit to this.

[Rich Davis]

Rookie sensation, wide receiver out of Ohio State, Emeka Egbegbu. It's like when Trump tried to say. When Trump tried to say Tua.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, Tua. Tag O Valia.

[Rich Davis]

So, I mean, but you know.

[Steve Covino]

You know how you get on your parents for saying everything wrong?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

I'm not saying that happens to us, but you learn someone's name and then it's just stuck in your head, or you think that's what it is. It's stuck in your head, and then you realize, like, yeah, I know what it is, but I. I'm used to saying it this way.

[Rich Davis]

Now, on a side note, I just saw a clip on.

[Steve Covino]

Doesn't make it right.

[Rich Davis]

Instagram. Which means. Which means it has to be true. I saw a conference where the heir to the Marriott hotel chain actually said, technically, it's. You're supposed to say it the way it would rhyme with Elliot. Like Marriott. Like, it's Marriott.

[Steve Covino]

Marriott.

[Sam Spot]

My younger brother works for them and he told me that I'm like, Marriott. That doesn't even sound right.

[Rich Davis]

Everyone says Marriott.

[Sam Spot]

It's like Tyrod.

[Rich Davis]

It's like Bijan and Bijan.

[Steve Covino]

Next you're going to tell me it's not Hilton Hotels, it's Hilton Hotels.

[Rich Davis]

What was the other guy recently that said we've been saying his name? Denzel Washington.

[Steve Covino]

Denzel. Denzel something. Yeah, yeah, Like Craig Krenzel.

[Rich Davis]

He prefers Denzel, but he goes. His family, his mom and grandma would yell at him when he was a little boy. And Denzel.

[Steve Covino]

Well, because his dad was Denzel, but then he went with Denzel just to mix it up. Yeah. So anyway, Joey Flacco.

[Rich Davis]

Flacco.

[Steve Covino]

Emeka Ibuka. Joey Flacco. Mariano. The AFC North Browns to the AFC North Bengals. But that also makes Shador Sanders number two with the Browns now. Well, so there's a lot of moving parts there. I just want to know, like, what stands out the most to you? Is that it? Is that a complete sneak? This to Flacco, like, yeah, we don't care. Well, send you to a division rival or is this a good opportunity for him? Either way, props for still having some game left and doing his thing.

[Rich Davis]

It makes sense for both parties involved, even though they're division rivals. But I do have a maybe a not so safe for work analogy. I think I could. I think it's.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, boy.

[Rich Davis]

I'll slide it by in a second.

[Steve Covino]

But let me put your finger on the button, Sam.

[Rich Davis]

Let me just say this. It works for the Bengals because you got someone better than Browning technically, Right? More experience. So maybe the Bengals could somehow write the ship and stay afloat until maybe Joe Burrow could come in last minute with heroics, Right? So it works for the Bengals. And the Browns weren't going anywhere. That was. That was their, like, placeholder. And they have these young guys that people want to see anyway, so it works for both teams. But when you give up a player to a division rival, someone right there in your conference or worse, your division, my analogy that's a little dirty would be, oh, I can't wait if you were, like, hooking up with some girl.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And you guys, you're sort of done with each other. And your buddy, like, oddly is like, hey, do you mind if I talk to her? And you're like, I don't care what the hell you do with her because you don't care. You don't care at all about her. Like, sleep with her, do whatever you want, have three sims. I don't care what you do because you don't care. You would care if you cared about a woman that you dated. You would be really hurt if your buddy hooked up with her. But if your buddy hooked up with a girl you couldn't care less about, you'd be like, yeah, whatever, dude.

[Steve Covino]

She was fun. Go for it. So the Browns didn't care at all.

[Rich Davis]

They're treating Flacco like a. Like a girl they just don't care about.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Now he's having threesomes with the.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Sam Spot]

Flacco and Browning both turn the ball over at the same rate. You know, Flacco missed a game here, obviously. Browning, eight interceptions on the season. Flacco, six interceptions, third in the league.

[Steve Covino]

Well, the first buzz I started feeling and seeing about this was, this is a whelming trade. But it's actually kind of interesting, I think, because it opens up Shador Sanders chances of playing.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And it buys time, like Rich said, for the Bengals.

[Rich Davis]

The Bengals are two and three. They play the packers, who are 14 and a half point favorites in Green Bay.

[Steve Covino]

And it's sort of an easy move for Flacco. No.

[Rich Davis]

Then they still have to play. They still have to play a bunch of division games.

[Sam Spot]

Are you schedule watching?

[Rich Davis]

I sort of am schedule watching. Sorry.

[Tony]

Guys, the rich loves to look at the schedule game.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

Who cares less? Did the Browns care less about Flacco or your wife or girlfriend? When you're trying to show them a movie and they get up to use the bathroom mid movie without pausing, and.

[Rich Davis]

They said, no, you don't have to pause it.

[Steve Covino]

Who cares less? Wait a minute. You can't just get up in the middle of the movie. No, it's okay. You don't have to pause it.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, we'll rewind now.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's disrespect.

[Rich Davis]

Parents do that.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, so you can't just get. We're watching Goodfellas.

[Rich Davis]

This isn't Hubie Halloween.

[Steve Covino]

This is Goodfellas. You just get up and use the bathroom. What are you doing? Who cares less, the Browns or your wife? Rewind 15 minutes.

[Tony]

It's okay.

[Rich Davis]

You don't have to pause.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no.

[Rich Davis]

We're gonna rewind 15 minutes now. There are times.

[Steve Covino]

Isn't that the worst feeling ever?

[Rich Davis]

I feel like a jerk when I do this, but my wife and I'll be watching something, and I see that she's sleeping.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, the disrespect.

[Rich Davis]

And I'll pause it, and I'll be a jerk. I'll be like, what just happened? Oh, she's like, I wasn't sleeping. I'm like, what just happened? Um, I was sleeping.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, you know, just. That's the level of not giving an F that the Browns kind of showed.

[Rich Davis]

You not to rewind, just press play.

[Steve Covino]

That's the level of disrespect and not giving enough.

[Rich Davis]

But as far as schedule watching, they play the packers, which in Green Bay, that will be a very tough game for the Bengals. Then they play at home against the Steelers, and if there was ever an opportunity to try to catch up in that division with the Ravens surprisingly being bad and the Browns not being good, if you're going to catch the Steelers two weeks from now, you got to win that game at home. So maybe Joe Flacco in two weeks has what it takes to beat up Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. If you want to look at what their path look like, looks like ahead, because right now they're three and one coming off a buy. They play the Browns, so that should be a win. But the Steelers go through a stretch where the Steelers have to play the packers, which is Aaron Rodgers against his old team. They play the Colts, the Chargers, and then they play the Bengals again. So the Bengals do have a chance to stay alive with some help. Of people, you know, bringing the Steelers back to life. So I like the move for the Bengals, but for the Browns to give him up, it really was sort of like he was our placeholder.

[Steve Covino]

You take them, they didn't care that much about him.

[Rich Davis]

He was our round the way girl. You could have him now.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. And the Bengals needed an around the way girl, I guess.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

So, Flacco, that's the big story. One of the bigger stories today, Even though it's like, yeah, whatever, it's still a big story. And the other one I'm just throwing out there for the fun of it. Rich. UFC White House is happening June 14, and I only bring that up on the radio right now for Danny G. To start making moves. Let's go to DC. Danny G. Danny, I was saying it could be UFC, June 14th. Isn't that Trump's birthday?

[Snacks]

It is.

[Rich Davis]

He's going to be 80, and I don't care.

[Steve Covino]

This isn't a political stance, but if they're going to have this big event, it's somewhat historic.

[Rich Davis]

I got to say though, there's a part of me that feels like while you're saying it's not political, I think.

[Steve Covino]

It'S a must go.

[Rich Davis]

It's gonna be very divisive.

[Steve Covino]

You think?

[Rich Davis]

I feel like if you want to go, if you want to go to that people, oh, he must be a Trumper. Like I.

[Steve Covino]

But then again, my excitement there isn't like, gotta be there because I got a red hat I gotta put on. It's like, oh, this might be a historical thing. If it's at the White House on.

[Rich Davis]

Trump's birthday, at the White House.

[Steve Covino]

You know what, Rich? You're right. But you know what?

[Rich Davis]

You're right.

[Steve Covino]

You just wrong with it.

[Rich Davis]

The audience, the Trump audience is a UFC audience. And nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying, well, I'm calling a spade a spade. Right.

[Steve Covino]

If you're a. Dana White's a Trump guy.

[Rich Davis]

Dana White and Trump are friends. And you know what I just feel like, doesn't matter I love you or not. If you love or dislike Donald Trump, I don't care. I'm not.

[Steve Covino]

It's just so off the wall.

[Rich Davis]

I'm not a weirdo, Michael Jackson style. I'm not a weirdo that judges my friends based on their politics. I will say this, though. If you go, people will assume you're a Trumper. I just feel it's because I think it would be super cool to be there.

[Steve Covino]

But I guarantee you weren't gonna go to Dubai where was the Fight island during the pandemic? It's like, we weren't going to Fight Island. Let's be real about that. But it'd be kind of cool to see this spectacle. Like, I felt like we missed out by not going to Noche at the Sphere. Remember that?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

This is a big event. It's. It's approved. It was announced June 14, and depending on who's fighting, it's like, yo, if you want to be part of that, you might start making moves now. So that's official. I'm just throwing that out there. Or is that a political choice? Unfortunately.

[Rich Davis]

I feel like, unfortunately, in today's world, it somehow will be tied to, like. Yeah, you know, you're going there.

[Steve Covino]

I think you're right, dude. That's sort of. Yeah, that's kind of weak.

[Rich Davis]

I have one apolitical question, then. We're going to take your phone calls because we need a contestant, right? Danny G for Mahomes Showtime Trivia. Showtime.

[Sam Spot]

Mahomes have a CNR Nerf turbo football up for grabs. You got to call right now to play.

[Rich Davis]

All right. 87799 on Fox. We'll play next 87799 on Fox. Get involved. Win a prize it multiple choice. I have one question for you, and it's real quick. So we could slide it in right now.

[Steve Covino]

Whoa. Hey.

[Rich Davis]

That's what she said.

[Steve Covino]

Are we sliding in head first like Pete Rose or like Corey Seeger? How are we doing this Smooth slide like Corey Seeger. Nice. Wow.

[Rich Davis]

Tonight going to be weird for Donnie Baseball to try to clinch at Yankee Stadium when he's like your childhood face of the Yankees. Is it weird that he is on the coaching staff of the Blue Jays?

[Steve Covino]

It's weird, but not on him. It's weird that the Yankees would allow a Yankee legend to be on that side of the field.

[Rich Davis]

Like, they should have had him on the coaching staff 100%.

[Steve Covino]

Man. Everybody loves Donnie Baseball in New York. Everybody loves that guy.

[Rich Davis]

Does he do a little tip of the cap or is it awkward because it's a playoff game? Like, if he. Dude Yankee fans.

[Steve Covino]

I don't think any Yankee fans fault Don Mattingly or blame him for being there. It's like, why haven't they brought him.

[Rich Davis]

Back in some capacity?

[Steve Covino]

In some capacity for the future at least? You know, like as a. Starting. As a head coach in a few. There's a lot of rumblings about Posada in the future, but you got to get Donnie Baseball in there.

[Rich Davis]

All right, well, here's the deal. Phones are lit. Phones are so lit. We're going to play next Showtime Mahomes trivia you want in the number 87799 on Fox? We do it next now.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like it's easier to punch someone in the face when you think about emotion regulation. Like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like, like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Who was the first player to return a punt for a touchdown in his NFL debut? Is it A, Deion Sanders, B, Tim Brown, or C, Devin Hester?

[Rich Davis]

Tom, we're giving you a chance here, Rich.

Okay.

[Tony]

Sitting there doing the pinch and roll. I don't know what he was doing. And C, every experience, good or bad, you have to learn from Thomas.

It felt like it was a spelling bee. Can I get the origin of that question? Patrick Mahomes, please.

[Sam Spot]

A three way tie with Rich, Thomas and Byer as we go to round four.

[Tony]

By the way, Shannon Sharpe, no relation to Iron Mike, in case you were wondering.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

[Tony]

Round four. I heard Rich mention this legend on your show the other day. How old was Raider hall of Famer George Blanda when he retired in 76? A, 48, B50 or C52?

[Rich Davis]

Thomas.

[Sam Spot]

Thomas for the win.

[Rich Davis]

B52.

[Steve Covino]

No, Rich.

[Sam Spot]

Rich for the steal and the win.

[Rich Davis]

Sorry, Thomas. I believe it's 48.

[Sam Spot]

Yes. On his birthday. Also turning 48. Rich wins.

[Rich Davis]

Not there yet. Not there yet.

[Snacks]

How dare you.

[Rich Davis]

How dare you.

[Tony]

Hey, happy 48th, Rich. You know, you kind of resemble George.

[Steve Covino]

Bland a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

I am not 48 yet.

[Tony]

Yeah, well, happy 48th, buddy.

[Sam Spot]

Does he look more like Blando or Tom Brady?

[Rich Davis]

More like.

[Tony]

Definitely Bland. Definitely Blanda. And remember to turn around and life of a showboy.

[Sam Spot]

All right, Thomas.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Sam Spot]

Yeah. Thomas in Iowa. Thank you. Playing the game.

[Steve Covino]

We appreciate it.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, appreciate it. Love y'. All.

[Tony]

Later, buddy.

[Steve Covino]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

Life of a show boy. Thank you, Patrick. Great, great trivia. You know what I'm seeing right now. Can I just. By the way, thank you Patrick. Mahomes Bootleg Mahomes. And thank you.

[Steve Covino]

It was weird that Mahomes favorite track off the new Taylor Swift album was the one about Kelsey's redwood.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I mean he's got the magic wand as she said. Right? She got the magic wand. What does it make the thighs open?

[Steve Covino]

She said some racy lyrics about Travis Kelce. Hey now I imagine that Patrick would feel weird about but it was interesting to hear that he's a fan.

[Rich Davis]

Question for you. More of a just a thought as we get into Dan Byers update. You know, let's go to Dan by his update. Then let me give you my deep deepest thought.

[Steve Covino]

Don't over promise Rich.

[Rich Davis]

I'll try not to over promise Dan Byer. What's up my friends?

[Dan Byer]

Guys, a lot's going on, especially in these last five minutes or so. We have a start time for the Mariners and Tigers. They're going to start top of the hour. So what this means is they're going to get underway in Detroit. Their game three will be seen on Fox Sports 1 for an hour until the Yankees in Blue Jays game from the Bronx takes over at 8 o' clock Eastern Time. The Mariners and Tigers then will be seen on Fox Sports 2 on the Fox One app or on the MLB Network. So that's where if you're a Mariners or Tigers fan and you want to take in the game, that's how you can watch tonight with the Jays Yankees game still a scheduled 8 o' clock eastern time on FS1 news just in from the NFL. ESPN is reporting. Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was fined $100,000 by the team for his alterc with Amari Di Mercado on the sidelines of their Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Not the only fine. Jerry Jones fined $250,000 today by the NFL as reports say that he was docked for giving an obscene gesture to the fans at the game in New Jersey when they beat the jets on Sunday.

[Rich Davis]

It's a tough one. I mean I know Jerry Jones is a billionaire dan buyer but 250G's by for giving fans the finger seems a bit harsh. If that money goes to like children or a good cause or the NFL has charities and then I'm all for it. But if that goes depends on where that money goes. But to give someone the finger 250k is a lot.

[Dan Byer]

Well, I think a lot of people on the Jonathan Gannon one are feeling like, well yeah, look at what Demarcato did. I don't know if that. Because it was of a physical nature of that happening, but football, dude, you've.

[Rich Davis]

Seen coaches like, Pat on someone's shoulder pads, like Harbaugh with, you know, back.

[Dan Byer]

In the day, Kelsey and Reed, we saw them, right?

[Rich Davis]

Kelsey and Reed, a bumping chest, like. I don't know. I just feel like football rules are a little different, right?

[Dan Byer]

Yeah, I guess, but. Jonathan Gannon, 100 grand. Jerry Jones, 250,000. Jones has until Friday to appeal if he wants to. Bengals acquired quarterback Joe Flacco in a trade with the Browns. Chargers acquired Adafe Owe in a trade with the Ravens. Today, Jaguars placed head in Brenton Strange on IR with a quad injury. Bucks and Knicks had talks in August about a trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo. That's according to espn. Giannis had reportedly told the Bucs that the Knicks were the only team he'd be interested in being traded to. But talks never got to a serious level. NHL's regular season is underway. Midway through the second period. Blackhawks and Panthers tied up at two apiece. Guys, back to you.

[Steve Covino]

Thank you, Dan.

[Rich Davis]

Dan Byer. Now, I'm seeing something on FS1 right now that to me is like a boomer's nightmare. You know, like sometimes back in the day, your grandfather would think a replay was the same, like another home run.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. And it happens.

[Rich Davis]

I remember being like, grandpa. That's.

[Steve Covino]

Remember we saw John Sterling fall for that. No, that one's. Oh, it's a replay.

[Rich Davis]

It's high. It is far. It is a replay, Rich.

[Sam Spot]

They heard us, though. Yeah. FS1 up in the left hand corner of the screen, they put weather delay because that wasn't there.

[Rich Davis]

Let me tell you something. They must have heard me or probably anyone with logic, because we. We all know the start time is. Damn Buyer. Just send. The update is at the top of the hour. They were playing from the beginning of game two, a replay on FS1. With no indication that it was a replay other than if you looked in the top right hand corner, it said Detroit lead series one. Oh. Which would be the only indicator. Unless, of course, you're like, it was.

[Steve Covino]

On the rotating scroll on the bottom. But if you weren't watching the entire time or.

[Rich Davis]

Or if you didn't realize. I mean, if. Or if you had the wherewithal to be like, well, this game's in Detroit. Why is Detroit wearing their road jersey? There were indicators, obviously, but I'm saying, like, I feel like parents around the world were fooled for the last hour to Gavino's point.

[Dan Byer]

It was on the bottom, but it wasn't in like bright red letters or like a pink or yellow or something.

[Rich Davis]

When I passed the TVs in the hallway, I was like, oh, the game started. Oh wait, it didn't. I just. It feels like something so many of our parents probably fell for. So, game starts. Top of the hour. We got more Covino and Rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Listen to the Trap Nurse podcast from the Black Effect PODC Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Nicole Garcia]

It may look different, but native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia. And on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture.

[Steve Covino]

It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for, like, hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.

[Nicole Garcia]

That's Sierra Teller Ornelas, who, with Rutherford Falls, became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage, Burn bridges on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills, and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face when you think about emotion, Reg. Like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say, like, go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just, like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving. Meditating, you know, takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dr. J]

But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate from is what is going to keep you growing. And that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner.

[Rich Davis]

Corner.

[Dr. J]

And on my podcast, just heal with Dr. J, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body and spirit. From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity, healing is a journey, and wholeness is the destination.

[Steve Covino]

I'm gonna walk away feeling very healed.

[Nicole Garcia]

And feeling like, yes, I'm gonna continue.

[Steve Covino]

My healing journey and I'm gonna get some keys from you.

[Dr. J]

Listen to just heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Steve Covino]

Do people realize that When Shakira and JLo performed at halftime, Bad Bunny also performed? And J. Balvin at the time, I just don't think people knew who he was. And guess what? Now he's doing his own thing.

[Rich Davis]

As he said on Saturday Night Live, you have four months to learn Spanish.

[Steve Covino]

Thanks to Showboy Mahomes, too, for stopping by before. And Rich, you mentioned Donnie Baseball. Showboy, showboy. Life of a showboy.

[Rich Davis]

I'm Showboy Ohtani.

[Steve Covino]

You mentioned Donnie Baseball and how he's on the flip side of the dugout where he should be with the Yankees tonight. It's almost 30 years to the day where he hit that postseason home run. And it was so huge because everyone wanted to see, especially Don Mattingly. He always wanted to see how he would perform in those big moments. And that's all he sort of needed for himself to see that he was able to come through. And we all remember he hit that bomb into the bleachers and the place went wild. And you saw a young Posada, a young Bernie, a young Jeter, even there to greet him. And it was a huge moment, almost 30 years to the day.

[Rich Davis]

Give me a UFC fighter that was big before UFC and mma.

[Steve Covino]

Blue Dan Severin. Shamrock.

[Rich Davis]

Ken Shamrock. Yeah, like those early guys that didn't get the props or like, I'm trying to think of something else that blew up in front of our very eyes. Like, I'll be honest, there may be a time where the WNBA is big and we'll look back at, like, I remember the women that, like, made no money. There's always people that are in something before it blows up, up. And I always felt bad, even though I don't like the Yankees. Don Mattingly was such a force and such a great guy. And even as a Mets fan, you had to respect Dom mattingly in the.

[Steve Covino]

80S, just the way he played ball.

[Rich Davis]

And he was just a baller. It was like saying you don't like.

[Steve Covino]

George Brett or Paul Molly, quintessential baseball.

[Rich Davis]

Player, or the late Ryan Sandberg or Ozzy Smith. Like, Don Mattingly was the man. And even as a Mets fan, I did feel bad that the Yankees dominated the minute he retired. Like, he just. The timing didn't work out, they said.

[Steve Covino]

And if you don't remember, it was back issues that pushed him out of the game.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Much like David Wright for the Mets. David Wright would have been a Hall of Famer for the Mets. Very similar, I believe, back issues than that Dom Mattingly had. And those are two greats right there. But a lot of people make that Mattingly, David wright comparison.

[Steve Covino]

But 30 years to the day. And we'll see him tonight back at the Bronx, 8pm on the east Blue Jays at the Yankees. But I know you had a thought about LeBron and a quick phone call about LeBron.

[Rich Davis]

You know, let's go to Oregon. Some guy that says, he says he actually is a Hennessy rep. What's up? What's up, Oregon? What's up, guys? What's up, man? How you doing?

[Snacks]

We're good.

[Rich Davis]

What's up? Hey, I was listening yesterday and I was like holding on tight because I knew before you knew, you know, that the decision was a LeBron partnership with Hennessy. Yeah. Well, can I tell you, quick little snippet? Yeah. We got 30 seconds, so make it snappy. Yeah. So the lights go down. All of us reps are sitting in the, you know, in the place. We got a nice little spot advertising place. And here walks in LeBron in this white screen and here we're looking at, you know, he's going somewhere else. He's going to Denver. He's going somewhere next maybe. And he made the vsop, so that's.

[Steve Covino]

Huge for Hennessy and huge for you guys, I guess, as the reps. And hey, send some over our way. We appreciate it.

[Rich Davis]

Listen, we'll see you guys manana. Until then, enjoy your baseball tonight. Arriva.

[Tony]

Dare she, baby.

[Steve Covino]

See you in the promised land.

[Rich Davis]

Go Yankee. Bye. Let's go.
