Hope you had a New York Yankee sort of night bombs. Hope you're having a great day. It's going to be a great hour because we're giving away prizes. Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. If you could repeat them verbatim, you win. So listen out and call 87799 on Fox. And this hour, Spotty's getting ready for midweek. Major he, he's on the videos right now with Sagar. The whole team is here. We have the best team in the land in the game. Danny G super producing 87799 on Fox, Iowa, Sam Lowen, cron and thank you guys for rocking out with us. Everyone could say they have the best team until week one, right? Until week one. Yeah. Danny says the Raiders are the best team. Yeah, I never said that. I know, by the way, but that offense looks good so far. Before we get into Mike's words of wisdom and give away some prizes and I know you want to make fun of Generation Z for a second, which is always fun. You saw that someone stepped on Lamar Jackson's foot at practice. Luckily, it looks like all is going to be fine. Right, Isaac? Everything seems fine with Lamar's tootsies. Pobrecito note it reminds me of did you see the dude that knocked over? Did he knock over Bolt? Like he was on like a segue or something. When you bump into something. Segue, right? Yeah. Like imagine you were the one responsible for someone of importance getting hurt. Like what a piece of trash it would feel like. Imagine if you're the guy like I'm the guy that stepped on Lamar's foot. I'm the guy that, you know was responsible for a big injury. How about the referee who ran over CD Lamb? Imagine CD Lamb is like, CD Lambs out. And it's like, oh, so it's the ref, like, hot. Yeah. I mean, he didn't get hurt, but think of how many times a lineman accidentally steps on the ankle of a running back or a quarterback. It's gotta feel terrible that that guy took a deep breath, like, thank God. How about that viral clip this week? How about real life? That's why everyone has to take it slow and take it east. Relax a little bit. The viral clip of these food review critics, these burger reviewers are sitting there eating burgers, recording themselves and some jabroni drives right into the restaurant. Almost kills them. You don't want to live with that guilt the rest of your life. Do you see the slow mo take it east. You see the slow mo version of that? It's wild. The guy's mid bite of a burger and glassed our ch everywhere. Not even kidding this week. True story. One of my daughter's friends, a drunk driver, drove right into her bedroom and she's concussed, but okay. And you know, she's fine, but what a scare, right? Imagine a drunk driving idiot drives into the bedroom of a house. That happens way too often. Yeah, it does. So I'm just, you know, I'm sorry to make it real, but even in real life scenarios, you don't want to be responsible for anyone's pain or suffering. That's horrible. But if it's accidental in sports and you're like just a regular player, I guess no one's a scrub. They're all pros, right? But imagine if you're. You're like just an ancillary, like third string lineman and you're the guy that, I don't know, steps on Joe Burrow's ankle like that. It's like a whole. What? Me? Oh, son of. Oh. I think that if it wasn't Pete Alonso earlier in the baseball season. Remember Kodai? Senga was on the il for a little while. Yeah. It was because it was a ground ball to first and Senga went over to first to cover. And Alonzo's toss was high and when Senga reached up, that's what he hurt, his leg. And I'm like, Pete felt bad about that, but he's still like the star of the team. What's worse, when someone gives you a flat tire and they step on the back of Your heel or when you're wearing new kicks and someone steps right on them without fail. If I'm wearing new sneakers, my kids will like step on my target. Right? Yeah. You know what else is like a magnet for little kids? If you're sweeping and you have a pile of of crumbs, it's like little kids feet magnetically go right into it. They gotta dance on it. All of a sudden they're doing the hot dog dance. Like yo, hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog. Right in your pilot. Right. That and your new shoes is almost a guarantee. So anyway, I'm glad his foot is fine. All right, Gen Z, let's I get him confused. I looked it up. Gen z born between 97 and 2012. That's Gen Z. Then what's Gen Alpha? Like kids. Why are kids so obsessed with generations and where they fall into line? This generation, all these younger generations obsessed with labels. The labels, Gen Z, I call them all the weenials. Anyone younger than me, weenial? I agree. Labels are out of control. Right, but forever. We've labeled generations. I know, but we never leaned into it. I had to look up to see what I was. I think generations have been labeled forever. You're talking about like we. People label their sexuality and their pronouns. That's like eye rollingly. What are we doing? I'm vibe sexual. If you have, if you have pronouns on your resume. I read an article that said people are gonna skip right over you like you're a pain in the ass. So I'm not talking about that. But labels for generations. Boomers. My daughter called me a cisgender male and I was like, what? Says who? I didn't even know what that meant. Who told you? Yeah, I was like, I am. No, I'm not. But oh yeah, I guess I am. Gen Z, you would argue. So what is that, 97 carry the one for 28. 28's the cap of that. The oldest people will be 28 years old and the youngest like 13 to 28. Okay, so that's gen Z 13. Like so teenagers to late 20s. Generation Z. Now, not everything they do is annoying. That's not the point here. But we are gonna have fun at their expense. There's three stories that are all ridiculous. You Fox Sports Radio Nation make the call. Like the old, old NFL films. You make the call. Three stories. They're all ridiculous. Which one's worse in your mind, by the way? Do you follow? Do you ever do these? You make the call videos they'll post on TikTok or Instagram. And you look at the comments and how many idiots don't know the rules of sports the time or they're trolling you? I think they're trolling me. Yeah, I fall for that. Happens all the time. Right. So the first story. Yeah, I don't even know which one to start with because they're all ridiculous. Say we're gonna make the call. Which is the most ridiculous? Which is the most ridiculous? We'll figure it out together with your help. 877-99-FOX. This is according to. Well, Fox News, but some local Fox news story. Our very own Fox 11. No, it's a KTVU Fox 2. I'm not sure where that's. Believe this is the Bay Area. Yeah. Okay, so this says that young Americans. Young Americans, Young Americans, the weenials, the gen zers say that friendship is too expensive. Nearly half skip events due to cost according to studies that they're researching. So in other words, they'd rather sit around and FaceTime or do nothing at all than go out because they're broke ass bees because it's too expensive. I've seen our two sons do this. It is. Look, no one's going to downplay that. Yo, everything is ridiculously expensive. Yeah, but they'd rather like not go out than interact and spend some money. Can I tell you, there's two arenas in which this is affecting the most. Again, half choose to skip. Mid level restaurants have died because of this. How many times when you were younger did you and your friends go to Chili's or Fridays or Houlihans or those type of like, hey, relatively mid level restaurants where you would hang out with your buds when you're a teen or 20 something, especially Fridays. And then we would clear the tables and chairs out of the way and turn it into a club. None of those places have the revenue they once did. And truthfully go to big cities. There is a big narrative that nightlife is struggling. Going to clubs, going to bars where this cover charges and you have to buy a bottle of vodka at a vip and even expensive drinks. The younger generation's like, yeah, no thanks. So I blame them complaining, but it's kind of lame that they're skipping out. Half the Gen Z surveyed are skipping out because yeah, going out is expensive. I'd rather stay home. And that's part of the reason I also think they become content staying home. All right, so story one, friendship two by the way, they become socially awkward as a result. You got to socialize, you got to go out every once in a while. Can I give you story number two? Go ahead. There's a growing trend where people in this younger generation are bringing their parents to job interviews. Man, we might have a winner. You might have wanted to save that for last. But you know what, there's another one that's pretty bad because the third story. Yeah. Is this has not hit the United States yet. But there is a growing trend in Japan which I can imagine it. Well, there's trendsetters. I mean let's be honest. We sort of follow the lead. There is a trend in Japan that to self soothe through anxiety, young people are bringing pacifiers to work. My binky. Their binky. And it's like a cool like hip thing to do. Like to have your binky. Like you remember like fidget spinners were a thing for a little while. No, that was for like anxiety and nerves. This is like. No, no. Like an actual pacifier. Like a chupy. Yeah. Like you know what you're trying to probably get your kid to stop using. Now that's two. You have koa. I'll give this. He could be like, are you kidding? He stopped using one when he was like eight months old. But you could be like koa. I'll give this back to you when you're in college. That's also ridiculous. So you make the call. Friendship is too expensive. Bringing parents to job interviews and the binky rage of 2025 when it comes to Gen Z. And I really mean this. I'm not trying to make fun. Young people are doing a lot of great things. I'm not trying to call them now. Which one is more ridiculous though. We wouldn't have brought it up. But there's three stories out there that make us say really. I do think every generation does bring some cool stuff to the table. I like their slang. I like kind of like the style. I don't like their goofy haircuts. Except for the dirty shoes. Yeah, yeah. I don't like the Crocs that they wear to school. But every generation keeps things a little more open minded than the previous one. So there's a lot of good things about the younger generation. But man, when you tell me that I love the fact that they embrace our music. The younger generation likes a lot of the 90s grunge and 2000s pop and a lot of the stuff that we grew up on. They, they respect it. Respect it and I respect that. So not everything's bad. Sports is bigger than ever. Bigger than ever. I see a lot of Young people embracing baseball and a lot of people, you know, still involved in sports. So I'm not dumping on Gen Z, but these are three ridiculous stories. Which one grinds your goat the most? 87799 on Fox. Now, while we take your feedback for that, I think it's time to set up Mike's words of wisdom now. Every Wednesday, it's just our excuse to, you know, give you guys a little something and be appreciative for your listenership. It's kind of a shame, Rich, that we get to experience Mike's wisdom every day, so we want to share that with everybody else as well. Oh, is this how it started? We want to spread the love. We realize that Mike is just so full of. Yeah, great. We felt the need to share. Full of something. Yeah. His mic's full of something. Great thoughts. You be the judge. So every week, Mike gives us his words of wisdom. It's very simple. You just have to repeat what Mike says word for word. Repeat his words of wisdom, and first person through, hey, you win a Cavino enrich Nerf football, we'll give you an iou. We're ordering new prizes for the football season, and we'll hook you up. So right now, the number 87799 on Fox. Iowa. Sam, are we ready? Let's go. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over, really, anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's words of wisdom On a Wednesday, a foolish man complains about his torn pocket. A wise man uses it to scratch his tea bag. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's some wisdom right there. He puts the dumb in wisdom. That's a good one, though, because it's true. This feature might not be back next week. It's so funny, Mike, his only hint to us is like, I was trying to think of a clever way to say my privates. Clearly. Now we know. Could have said man junk. I don't know a few things. But hey, if you want to. I like his choice. If you want to repeat Mike's amazing words of wisdom again, the numbers. 8, 7, 7, 9, 9 on Fox. Feel like we need to hear that one. You want to do it one more time? One more time? Yeah. I think the mood music was a little. A little hot. Let's go. Here we go. A foolish man complains about his torn pocket. A Wise man uses it to scratch his tea bag. That's the guy that ruins this place. I love it. Oh, boy, that's some wisdom right there. That's a good one. I like that one. So again, the number is 87799 on Fox. We'll go through the phones, we'll get a winner, and then on deck, we got spot and midweek major. All your hottest stories in the world of sports and entertainment. So always fun here on a Wednesday. And also chime in on which one of those stories you think is worse when it comes to the younger generation, is it friendship is, quote, too expensive, so they're just not hanging? Is it that they're bringing parents to sit in, like, the lobby or even guide them through a job interview? Or is it that young Gen Zers in Japan now are using binkies chupies, as Danny G. Called them pacifiers when they're out and about. Now, you might think that's the one, but for me, it's not. Friendship is too expensive. I hate that because I feel like, again, they crutch on that as a reason to stay home. Yeah. Therefore, less interaction. And then young people become more socially awkward. They're using social media and FaceTime as a way to bond instead of really getting out there. I don't like that one either, but I think the winner is. And Mike, who runs this place, agrees because he says he's done thousands of interviews. And if anyone brought their parent the job interview, you're guaranteeing no job. You're guaranteeing you're not getting this chance. You're not getting this opportunity. To me, that's the most ridiculous one of all. You need your mommy to hold your hand in a job interview. That's got to be the one. Could I just say something, Mama? No, I have my thought, but can I just say something real quick? Because the whole show just pulled a full circle moment for me at least. I feel like Glenn Gulia, did you bring your mommy to the job interview? What are you, a little baby with your binky? I. I have the exact same thought as you. So I wish I could be like, no, because, you know, the other ones, worse. I get it. The binky, soothing, ridiculous. But people, I could see dumb trends like that. I could also see people saying, well, with FaceTime and social media, like, that's how we hang. Right? But why don't you just go to their house? Like, all you're paying for is gas. Split a six pack, you're going to park. That's what we used to Do I agree? We wanted to get out of our parents. That's what I'm saying. It's a crutch. It's just. It's the answer. It's like, hey, why don't you go out and hang with your friends? Well, it's too expensive. No, it's not. It becomes a cross. Take your place. Nothing. And they're not wrong about that. But I do many other things they could do. I do think the weakest answer is the parents at a job interview. Because what do you teach your kids? Hey, listen, I'm not always gonna be here, you know, I'll always support you, but I'm not. You gonna be a grown up one day, pal. You gotta. You gotta be strong and, you know, learn these tools to succeed in life. Like so that they realize you're not gonna be there. Especially, I don't know, when you're having a job interview. It just sounds ridiculous. Yeah, but that's. That's ridiculous. The show just took a full circle moment. What was it? Because we started the show talking about Tank Davis and Jake Paul, and we were trying to really put into comparison the size of Jake Paul compared to Gervonta. Tank Davis, right? Jake Paul being 612 hundo. They just showed the stats of the pitcher for Aruba in the Little League World Series, and he was 5 foot 5, 130 pounds. The little League World Series pitcher that we're watching right now, if you're watching ESPN or you. Is the size of Tank Davis. This kid from the Caribbean, Aruba. That kid is the size of tank Davis. He's 1112 at the most. He's 12 years old. He's 54 and a half, 130 pounds. Tank Davis is the size of the Little League World Series pitcher that is currently pitching a shutout. There you go. He's built like a tank. So if you missed the first hour, that's what we discussed. That fight scheduled November 14th. Let's. Let's try to get our winner. Mike's words of Wisdom. Let's start with Peoria, Illinois, and our buddy, Blake. Blake, you're on with Covino and Rich. Hey, bud. Hey. How's it going, fellas? We're good, man. Are you ready with Mike's words of Wisdom here or what? Yes, sir. Absolutely. All right, Blake, you got to let the music simmer for a second. Here we go. All right. A foolish man complains about his torn pocket. A wise man used to. Sorry, brother. Oh, wow. He missed the word or something. It's got to Be word for it. He kind of went off the rails. Hey, you could play next week. Thanks. Oh, who we got next? We're gonna go to Cedar Rapids and Jason. Hey, Cedar Rapids. Hey, bud. Hey. How's it going? What's up, man? You ready for Mike's words of wisdom? Let's go. Yeah. I love the show, guys. Thanks, man. Love you. Here we go. All right. A foolish man complains about his torn pockets. A wise man uses. I believe it's not Pl. Sorry, dude. I heard it. I heard a pockets. You want to go to Sean in Sacramento? Yo, Sean. What's up, man? Yo, my favorite bros in the afternoon, man. I got this locked down. You ready for it? I'm ready. Let's go. A foolish man complains about his torn pockets. A wise man uses it to scratch his. Oh, wait, there's. There's something going on here. Sam said. Sam needs a second. He said. Oh, wow. He thinks Mike went off the script. That Mike emailed Sam. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, the controversy. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. We started off the show with Lowen Cron controversy. This is even worse. This is unbelievable. Okay, here's what's going on. Mike sent me the line, right. And it's different than what's actually spoken. So I think that actually, one of our first couple of callers got this right. You have to give away two prizes now. I don't know. Let's just hold on. Let me just. I think we should go to. Let's. We should. Well, look, I still have Jason. I still have Jason from Cedar Rapids on hold. On hold. I gotta make sure that I get this down on paper, the right one. Oh, I have Blake on hold, too. I still have those two on hold. Can I just tell you something? I wish Sam's panic going like this really matters. Like, we just misquoted Tom Brady, and we need to, like, you know, I would say acting like the FCC's on the other line. Just hold on. Talk amongst yourselves. Well confirmed. Okay, I'm getting verklempt over here. All right, I was saying Mike gave me the wrong script, so I buzzed out the couple calls. The bat phone's ringing. The bat phone's ringing. Including a guy from Cedar Rapids. Look at. These are just IOUs. So we can give a lot of them away today if you feel like they're not. The president of iHeart's on the line. Oh, my God. Those are IOUs. They're demanding names. And you do this on National Radio Day, Sam, we're supposed to be professionals, man. Wow. Hang Tight while we figure it out. But you know what? Everyone hold on. You know what? This is like, we're going to. We're going to New York for the start over again. Should we start over again with our. What we still have. This is one of the reasons I always put people on hold right after they're on the air. I don't hang up on people, I think. Let's see. Let's see if Blake is still there. Blake, are you still around? Yes, sir. Yeah, we screwed you over, Blake. I think you get another shot at this. Okay. You now know what Mike really said? I believe so. Okay. We'll probably just give him this win anyway, because I think he got it the first time. All right, go. Go for it, Blake. A foolish man complains about his torn pocket. A wise man uses it to scratch his tea bag. All right, that's the winner, finally. But we're also gonna hook up Jason and Sean. We have. Yeah, Jason, we have three winners. All right, three winners. Good job, Sam. That's really. No, that's not me. It's Mike's fault. Giving the wrong script. What was the controversy? Okay, so this is what Mike gave me, and I. Because I'm following along on this email. So he. He said in the email, a foolish man complains about the hole in his pocket. A wise man uses it to scratch his tea bag. But it was the tear in the pocket. I kept hearing guys say tear in the pocket, and I'm like, wait, they're both. They're all getting it wrong. But. So it was actually. They were correct. Got it. So this is actually Mike's fault. Well, great job, guys. Great job. Great job. You want big Mike, who doesn't run anything. He can't even do it verbatim, right? Yeah. Great job is on quote, but it was a good one this week. Thank you. Thank you, guys. And thanks for playing along. Three big winners. Yeah. Blake, Jason, and Sean. Hang on the line. I'll get your info. Now everybody's a winner. The wisdom every Wednesday. But we also do something called midweek majors, so stick around for that. It's the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. And we decide, are they mid week or major stories? And we do it next.

All right, Tom Brady getting roasted on social media by some friends and former teammates over his most recent Instagram post. If you want to go check it out real quick. So Brady posted a few photos from the golf course with his 17 going on 18 year old son Jack, who he had with first girlfriend Bridget Moynihan. And Jack is standing a few inches taller than Brady Brady, 6 4. So he must be at least, I don't know what, six' six or something. Wow. Mike Evans commented on the post saying, is Jack standing on something? And of course, Gronky chimed in saying, jack is way more beastly than you. So Brady getting a little bit of fun roasting on social midweek or major? I think it's great. I think it's a major story. Anything involving Tom Brady and roasting him is always a big story. And his son, 6 foot 6. That's impressive. But know what's more impressive? His hairline. Take a good look at it. His son has a majestic hairline. If you have bad eyesight, you think he's wearing a backwards hat. I thought that. I go, kavina, how you seeing his hair with the hat? Oh, my God. He's not wearing a hat. I say it respectfully and I'm giving him props. Is he a forehead here? He's got a three head. His hairline is so prominently like there, it's. It's amazing. So I think he's the man of the house. I think he's the guy. He could lose 3 inches of hairline and people would still not say his hairline's receding. Yeah, I think it's fantastic. I love this story. And Tom Brady's son is going into a big, handsome young fella. I think it's major. Definitely major. First of all, people love roasting Tom Brady. I just saw a stat. Of course, when you look at the most popular Netflix comedy specials ever. Yeah. Ahead of Chappelle Jo Koy, Matt Rife, all the millions and billions and billions of minutes. Watched the number one thing ever on Netflix, the Tom Brady roast. And I was supposed to go with Mike, who runs this place. I know. And I couldn't. The Tom Brady Roast, the most watched Netflix special. I said friendship is too expensive. That's what you said. Yeah. Great. But anyway, Tom Brady, I think the goal. I want my son to be taller than me. I feel like every man's deep down inside dream is I want my son. Son to be a little more handsome, a little taller, a little more successful. Like you root for your son. You don't root for anyone the way you root for your son. But as your son grows, and when I say grows, I mean grows, he becomes the man of the house. Yeah. That means you have to move out. I hope that for my son. I want. Tom Brady's got to move out. Yeah, yeah, he's done. Later, Tom. All right, good. All right, good. All right. Xavier Worthy still going crazy over the shout out he got from Taylor Swift during her recent recent appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend and brother. So Swift was talking about her new love of football, of course, and how she said she was running through the house screaming, we drafted Xavier Worthy after the last draft. So in a video posted on Chief Social Media, the Chiefs wide receiver spoke about the shout out, saying, quote, that's crazy. I ain't gonna lie. She's the biggest pop star in this generation. So it's crazy having somebody running around the house screaming, we drafted you. Kelsey even mentioned that Swift was the first person to tell him that Worthy had been drafted. Of course, Swift's appearance still racking up the views on. On YouTube, social media, midweek or major. Anything involving Taylor Swift. Major it is. So it doesn't matter what I think. The world makes the vote and the world says anything that involves Taylor Swift is important. He's 22 years old, so you have to imagine it's like Michael Jackson talking about you. So it is a big deal. And props to him. We're not Worthy. I mean, what he said, everything Camino said, I would just repeat. It's true. We forget sometimes they're football players, but they're still human. You don't think every woman in Xavier Worthy's life or anyone for that matter is like, yo, Taylor Swift shouted you out. Even Jared Goff said it was pretty cool that he was shouted out in that interview. We forget they're just regular people. They're football players. Taylor Swift is a international star. Yeah, he. He's grown up listening to her music. Taylor Swift might be the only person Travis Kelce could date where he's clearly not the star. The number one, right? I mean, it's true. All right, Angel. We're not worthy. Thanks, Sam. We're not. Thanks, Sam. All right. What's up, Sam? All right, Angel. Recess of IO for her upcoming shoe line and collaboration with Reebok. So at a recent interview with Elle, Reese said, quote, quote, I want people to wear Angel Reese ones everywhere and to just be a household name. Just like how they wear Jordans everywhere. Obviously, Jordan, now a billionaire with his Nike and Air Jordan's shoe line household name. So fans clearly skeptical of the claim, but admire her confidence, saying they wouldn't consider the Reese ones to be the next Air Jordan. But they're not bad looking, apparently. So, you know, Reese describes the sneakers as an extension of herself. So we'll see how they do when they debut midweek or Major. I think this is major. And I don't think this is like a joke by any means. I really don't. If you watch power moves on Netflix, you know, it's not just Angel Reese. You got Shaquille o' Neal behind this and Allen Iverson, the two guys that put Reebok on the map. So they're taking this really serious. And look, she's one of the biggest name names in women's sports, and I think people will buy them because they look good. Yeah, you know what? I think this is major. Definitely major. And that's coming from a guy that I'll admit I'm one to, you know, mock the WNBA at times, but Angel Reese is one of the stars on and off the court. And listen, are you not supposed to have dreams? If someone asks you what's your dreams and what you're doing, I don't. I actually admire her for saying, I want my shoe to be the household shoe of women everywhere. That's. I admire her, her goals and dreams. So I think it's awesome. All right, I'll take a full circle. We talked to the beginning of the show About Tank Davis vs. Jake, by the way. What is she supposed to say? They'll be mediocre? Like, that would be the Jordans. Yeah, but you know what? That's the goal. That's the standard. There was a time. There was a time. You ever see that great clip where Jordan goes on letterman in the 80s and letterman's like, this is an ugly shoe. And Jordan's like, I hope it was works like, you know, you start somewhere. Right. And by the way, like I said, that's Shaquille o' Neal's home mission. I want to be the premier show in the NBA. He's trying to make that happen so it's not impossible. All right, so in a recent interview, Tommy Fury revealed that he passed up a chance to fight Jake Paul back in June, turning it down just due to timing. So in a new documentary about Fury, Tommy the Good, the Bad, the Fury, there's a scene that features Fury's dad taking a call from their lawyer about setting up a rematch of their February 2023 flight fight in which Paul lost via split decision. Dad immediately shut it down, saying that's the oldest trick in the book. He said Tommy would need more of a heads up as he was inactive for 18 months, fresh off of surgery, and the fight was only a few months out. And Fury even said himself that he needed at least two to three more fights before getting back in the ring with Paul. Still believes they'll be in the ring again for a rematch. So midweek or major mid. Okay, definitely mid. As a fight fan, I don't even care about Tommy Fury getting back in the ring. I agree. So I know that's the biggest fight in his world and in his life, and it means something to him. That means diddly squat to this guy. I think it's mid, and I'll tell you why. Tommy Fury's certainly not on the radar of people. If Jake Paul was willing to fight him even on short notice, the best case scenario would have been if Jake Paul won. And then there's a third match, the rubber match, and Tommy Fury would have made more money doing that than anything else he'll ever do in his life. That's true. All right, well, thanks, guys. Thank you, Spot. Thank you. Running late, but having a fun time. Let's go to Isaac Lonkron with an update. Hey, buddy. Hey, guys. We got some fresh NFL news just coming down. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told radio station KNBR a short time ago that the NFL has suspended 49ers receiver DeMarcus Robinson for the first three games of the regular season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Back in July, Robinson pleaded no comment to a misdemeanor DUI charge. Now, for context, 49 receiver Brandon Ayuk, presently on the physically unable to perform list, recovering from a torn ACL and MCL midway through last season. And back In March, the 49ers traded receiver Debo Samuel to Washington. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left practice early today after he got his foot stepped on. But the Ravens told reporters that Jackson is just fine a short time ago Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked about star linebacker Micah Parsons contract dispute. At the end of the day we feel like Mike is going to be out there when we can line up against Philadelphia here in 15 days or whatever it is. And I feel good about that. Yeah, with or without a contract extension, I feel good that Mike is going to be out there against the Philadelphia Eagles. Baseball Adrian Del Castillo's bloop single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a 32 win over Cleveland. Arizona's Lourdes Guriel had forced extra innings with a game tying home run in the bottom of the ninth. Kyle Schwarber, 5 RBI, hit his National League leading 45th home run in the Phillies 112 win over the Mariners. He now trails Cal Raleigh by two for the major league lead. Guys, back to you. Thank you. If Schwarby surpasses Raleigh, does that diminish his accomplishments a little bit? And Judge is more of an MVP sort of guy? I don't think so. I think Al and Ella so, so still so separate in people's mind. By the way, the 49ers receiving depth chart with Iuk still injured and Juwan Jennings a little banged up, that's, that's the 49ers may have used DeMarcus Robinson early on, so that's tricky because now you're thinking could Tariq Owens make the team? You saw to's son has been playing decently enough in camp, so you got Ricky Pearsall. But besides that, the Niners seem a little banged up early. They have a weak schedule, but it should be something to keep an eye on. My we'll talk a little more NFL. In fact, coming up next right here, your buds Kavino and Rich. The reviews and ratings are in and Ice Cube's Big three is the surprise hit of the summer. And to cap off the season, iHeart presents the Big 3 Basketball Championship and 8th Annual Big 3 All Star Game this coming Sunday, August 24th.

I wish it was a baller. I wish I had a girl who looked good. I would call her Tom Brady wishes he was taller than his son. We're tied it all together and it is national Radio Day. Radio day to height. Hey, also, shout out to Tank Davis. Giving up damn 7 inches to Jake Paul. That's what she said. Rich gives up seven inches to me every day. What? Camino and Rich? Yeah. What does that mean? I don't even know that live from Fox jokes have the really weird. What is happening? What? What? 40 years time. I had my suspicions about the two of you, but come on, I gotta talk about tire rack. We've been working together 20 years. Jeez. Yeah, give them a beat here before this Tire rack. For over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com the way tire buying should be. Now, tomorrow. No, think about what you said, bozo. So look, tomorrow, think about what you said. I know it sounded worse, but that's not what I meant. So tomorrow, Thursday, we get the weekend started early like Mr. Furley. Thursday's the new Friday. We do old school when 50 hits, we reminisce and we get you involved again. Thursdays we do that. It's Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Thanks again. National radio day now. And I know you wanted to talk some NFL. I want to talk my 49ers for just a second. But for everyone that's around our age, I did want to point out today to make us feel a little old, guess what debuted 36 years ago on this day. On this day in 1989. Debuted where? On TV. On television. Yeah. 36 years ago on this day. Something we've all watched a million times. Oh, I know. I know the answer. We've been compared to these two guys for years. Zach and Slater. Saved by the Bell debuted on this day in 1989. 36 years ago. You feel old a little bit. Put your mind to it. Go for it. You're gonna break a sweat. Rockin rollin. You ain't seen nothing yet. You're a big fan of. Is that hot sundae? Yeah. Big fan of. Big fan of Jesse Spano. Someone on the Carl's page on. Is it Facebook is all social media platforms. I only see it on Facebook. They were like, you guys talk about Saved by the Bell at least once a week. He's like, here's something Kelly Kapowski is involved with. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Eating cake or something. But it's funny that Saved by the Bell does come up probably once a week on that's because of Rich. I didn't really watch it all that much. Rich is a super fan of the Zach attack. What is this version? I don't know. What is that? I didn't check that before. That was actually Rich at karaoke. That was the whack attack. Now, before we get out of here, I did want to say that it's from Sam's personal collection. I don't know what that was. I think that was a parody or something. That's the. That's the one that's free. You don't have to pay for the weak ass version. I think there's something to be said about lucking out when your guys aren't available. Like could, you know, if. Let's say you're. Let's say Max Freed needs to miss a start. Isn't it certainly helpful if you're playing some bunk teams during that week? Of course. And this is all, you know, all sports. But as Isaac pointed out, the 49ers, oddly enough, are a little banged up more than I'd like as a 49ers fan in the preseason. Iuk's not coming back right away. Peirsole seems to be Stepping it up. But even. Even your secondary and third looks are all. Everyone's banged up. The 49ers schedule is so meager early on that sometimes you luck out and you're like, all right, well, thank God, because this is the weak part of our schedule. And the 49ers have such a light schedule this season. That's why whether or not you believe that their window is still open or if it's closed, I'm a firm believer that The San Francisco 49ers are easily a 10 win team. If you go through their schedule, all our friends in the Bay Area that have probably analyzed this before will tell you, can I give you the first month of their season? Let's hear it. And even without. What if I said no? Then it's a debate. All right, fine. Listen. You can't tell me that Seattle's. Wait, wait. Rich, Rich, Rich. You're doing a 49er schedule watching. Yes, I am. The Rich loves to look at the schedule game. Schedule watching. Yeah, I love schedule watching. Seahawks. It's in Seattle. That makes it tough. But I think the Seahawks are mediocre. So the niners should be 1 0. Then they play the Saints, maybe the worst team in the NFC, 2 0. Then they play at home against the Cardinals, who have not got it together, 3 0. Then they played the Jags 4 0. So I think even without their full team, you're 40 the end. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Arrivederchi, baby. See you in the promised land. Bye. Iheart presents the Big three playoffs. This Sunday. The remaining four teams battle to make the championship in the most physical, fierce and competitive basketball league in the world.
