Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Micah Parsons Trade to the Green Bay Packers

[03:18–18:01, 21:25–30:21, 31:14–39:20, 67:50–69:32]

• Immediate Reactions and Analysis:

  • The hosts dive into reactions to the trade that sent superstar linebacker Micah Parsons from the Cowboys to the Packers.

  • Debate around whether the Cowboys made the right call, with speculation about Jerry Jones’ motives and how the team will spin the narrative.

  • Parallels are drawn between this trade and the historic Herschel Walker deal, with skepticism about the return and long-term impact for Dallas.

    “Some people are trying to swing it like cowboys did the right thing. I still believe... Jerry Jones trying to spin this as his modern day version of getting rid of Herschel Walker.” – A (Covino), [05:20]

• Micah’s Legacy and “Pain in the Ass” Factor:

  • Discussion of Parsons' stellar performance but rumors of him being “difficult to deal with.”

  • Playful analogies about relationships and breakups are used to humanize the business decision and speculate on locker room culture.

    “Maybe he is a pain in the ass. And do you want to work with a pain in the ass? ...Imagine paying pains in the asses millions and millions of dollars.” – A (Covino), [06:27]

• Handling Jersey Burning & Fan Outrage:

  • The crew criticizes fans for performative jersey-burning and TV-smashing, arguing that it’s now staged and lacks authenticity.

  • An extended analogy is used comparing ugly Christmas sweaters to the first fan who burned a jersey.

    “Danny G. Called it too. That's why it's corny, because it's so predictable... That’s just what you see all over your timeline.” – A, [10:44]

• Jerry Jones’ Name Flub – Mistake or Power Move?

  • Jerry Jones referred to Micah Parsons as "Michael," prompting a debate: is it a simple old-man mistake or a calculated power play to diminish Parsons publicly?

  • Covino argues it’s potentially intentional “boss move” strategy, referencing similar behaviors among broadcasting icons.

    “My point is, I'd see Howard Stern in the hall...but to establish some sort of superiority...He would pretend like he didn’t know those people, just to make them feel lame.” – A, [22:36]
    “You're gonna spend $40 million a year on a guy, you don't even know his first name?” – A, [26:02]
    “It's a businessman. It's a powerful man's way of saying, you're unimportant to me. I don't care what your name is.” – A, [38:11]

• Call-In Reactions:

  • Listeners weigh in, largely agreeing it’s a “power move” and discussing the disconnect between Jones’ business genius and his decision-making as an aging GM.

    “It is a pure power move. It’s a way, if you remember when rock used to say, ‘What's your name? I don't care what your name is.’” – Listener, [38:23]

---

2. Social Media and Sports Fandom Gimmicks

[10:15–16:03]

• The hosts strongly dislike viral trends like burning jerseys and smashing TVs after disappointing trades/losses.

• Originality and authenticity are praised; current content is deemed predictable and useless.

• Concerns about safety and waste, with warnings about burning down houses “trying to go viral.”

  “You never see someone smashing their 85 inch nice new TV...It’s always a 32 inch or a 42 inch older TV that's on a TV stand... I am not impressed.” – B (Rich), [13:15]

---

3. Baseball Talk: Batting Averages and Predictable Trends

[40:02–44:04]

• Examination of the all-time low number of .300 hitters in MLB, and nostalgia for the days when a higher batting average was common.

• Only five players were over .300 at the time of recording—discussing changing priorities in major league baseball stats.

  “There are five guys in all of Major League Baseball hitting .300 or over. It's embarrassing.” – B (Rich), [40:31]

• Discussion on “letdown games” – when teams lose after a big win, and why these psychological patterns persist in sports.

---

4. Beer Prices at NFL Stadiums – Interactive Game

[47:19–55:06]

• The crew and callers participate in a quiz to guess the most expensive and cheapest NFL stadium beer prices (based on BetMGM research).

• Surprises at both ends:

  • Most Expensive: Washington (Commanders) at $16.49, then Raiders (Vegas), and Tampa Bay.
  • Cheapest: Bengals ($6.80), Browns ($7.15), Lions, Vikings, Colts.

• Reflection on what it says about team success, market size, and fan experience.

  “Washington, D.C. wow…” – D (Danny G.), [52:01]
  “It’s significant because Ohio, Washington is double that [beer price].” – A (Covino), [54:30]

---

5. Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player? Game Show Segment

[59:37–67:50]

• A signature Covino & Rich trivia game, lampooning the public’s general lack of WNBA player name recognition.

• Callers and hosts try to guess if a name belongs to a Chipotle employee or a professional women’s basketball player.

• Winner Brandon from Cocoa Beach performs well and receives Koozies as a prize.

  “She puts a lot of love into her burrito bowls. That’s Chipotle for sure.” – A, on “Georgia Amore”, [61:54]

[B]

You're the only one that gets excited when your team has a new rookie come out. But have you seen this guy that's pitched for the Mets tonight? Tong?

[A]

I'm excited to see him and I'm rooting for him. Here's what I'm hoping.

[B]

He looks like such a fun kid.

[A]

Rich and I have this bet. Who has the better record for a thousand bucks? And for every game more, another hundred bucks, Yankees or Mets? And they're so close. Every time the Mets lose, Yankees lose. But the Yankees finally pulled two games ahead. So I'm rooting for this kid because he seems so damn likable. Jonah Tong. I've seen him interviewed. He got his change up from Instagram. He looks like he's 12 years old.

[B]

He does look young.

[A]

He's like skipping around the ballpark, just happy to be there. So I'm rooting for him to have a good start. Then I'm rooting for your bullpen to blow it.

[B]

Oh, thanks. Okay, cool.

[A]

You can't have this kid in his debut go deep into the game. He's. He's got to be on the clock, I think.

[B]

Jonah Tong. Ta Tong. Tong.

[A]

So, hey, speaking of what to watch this weekend, we're going to get you into it with weekend hobnobbing. We do that every Friday. Of course, there's some great baseball, but there's some random fights and other things you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment. So we'll get you all set up for the holiday weekend. Let's have a great extended weekend. Let the wild rumpus start. And it starts where we left off. Can I just say how pumped I was personally and professionally as a broadcaster to have Isaac Lohenkron make that Micah Parsons announcement on this show?

[B]

Yeah, it was fun.

[A]

We got the first reaction, right. We got to process it together. Us, you, everybody, the callers, 87799 on Fox. Danny G. And then for the rest of the day, you get to hear everybody else saying the things you already speculated on and said. So that's kind of fun.

[B]

You were first to it.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Cause a lot of times when we're doing the show it's like, yeah, a lot of those things happened early on and yeah, we got to say it first. We get to let it process live. And man, what are your thoughts today? Because there's a few things that I've seen since that got me thinking how.

[B]

Let me get the obvious out of the way. This, this trade is. Some people are trying to swing it like cowboys did the right thing.

[A]

I still believe, like I saw Schefter say what we said yesterday when it happened is Jerry Jones trying to spin this as his modern day version of getting rid of Herschel Walker. He did say that.

[D]

Even though in the documentary Jimmy Johnson takes credit for that.

[A]

Yeah, that's a whole drama in itself, right? According to America's Team on Netflix. But that's also being speculated, like, hey, Jerry Jones is old, but he might have something up his sleeve. That's part of the speculation.

[B]

I did see people say that on Madden. That trade is rejected.

[A]

Yes. That's gone viral.

[B]

Which is funny. A video game would be like, no, no, no. Because it's not, it's not realistic.

[A]

Not a fair trade. Not a fair trade.

[B]

So Madden rejects this trade. The 49ers, you know, my team, they have escaped so much criticism for what they gave up for Trey Lance because Brock Purdy worked out. Brock Purdy saved Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch's ass. As far as like being humiliated. Niners gave up more for Trey Lance than the packers gave up for Micah Parsons.

[A]

And you're seeing this spin too, which could be true. I get it. It's a business and you got to deal with egos and personalities. But there's a lot of people are like, hey man, Michael Parsons, pain in the ass. They had their chances with him. They didn't win. I understand he did great. Two time Pro Bowler, only missed like five games while he was there. And he did everything he could, but they didn't win with him. And maybe he is a pain in the ass. And do you want to work with a pain in the ass? Let me tell you, I hate working with pains in the asses. Imagine paying pains in the asses millions and millions of dollars like, yo, you.

[B]

Don'T like it, beat it.

[A]

You know, it's been too. But again, like at the detriment of maybe winning games.

[B]

Yeah. I can only, you know, there's a woman that's a real pain in the ass. Not you, monsieur. You're like perfect. I can only imagine Your boyfriend Sean just sings your praises to everyone.

[E]

You know, sometimes. Sometimes.

[B]

But there have been times where drinks a lot, too. I've been there. You've been there?

[A]

Where you're dating, you get a few drinks, and Sean, her boyfriend, he starts giving you the juice. Oh, yeah, man, that Moni's cute and fun and all, but, my God, what a pain in the ass.

[B]

That's what I've heard. Costa Rican women are jealous and crazy.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

And lucky for you.

[B]

So we've all been there. We've dated, you know, maybe an attractive, crazy girl. And people. And people will say, like, man, you guys broke up. And it's like, yeah, it's not all about what's on the surface and looks and maybe Micah Parsons behind closed doors. Maybe. I'm just trying to think of the other angle. Maybe he was a pain in the ass. There are a few.

[A]

I've been given that excuse.

[B]

There are some outliers that are saying, like, man, maybe my cowboys are better off if they get a fresh start. I know.

[A]

The exes have told me, like, you're a pain in the ass. And I know what comes with you. They had enough time to know what comes with him. And it's not like winning football for the most part. It's not taking them to the promised land. So there is that angle to at least explore. Again, you got to have the spin, right? Jerry Jones has to say something. And the whole, like, you know, stopping the run game. Yeah, that just sounds like BS to me. Like he's just looking for any answer to make it right. But maybe the truth is the guy's impossible to deal with.

[D]

Maybe it's Jerry Jones who's impossible to deal with.

[A]

Or maybe that, too. Look, that's why we speculate, right?

[B]

Hold on. Again, not trying to make this dirty, but when a guy leaves a woman and he doesn't seem that bummed about it, and she's super hot, whoa, there's gotta be like. Again, she's probably, like, a real pain in the ass.

[A]

Are you trying to say that something's wrong with that famous saying for every hot shot Some guy that.

[B]

No, I don't think that. I think it's. I'm not using old cliches. I'm saying, like, maybe there's something you just don't know. She's got a stinky butt or something. Or, like, you know, you know, bad hygiene.

[A]

Or she. Or she has, like, chops.

[B]

No. Or she has, like, overbearing family or something that you high maintenance that you don't see on the surface because people be like, how could he leave her? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

[A]

We're just saying.

[B]

I'm just trying to think of reasons why. Because there's got to be a reason why Jerry Jones didn't try to come to some type of agreement with the agent. He said he threw a great offer out there.

[A]

It was like what, 40 plus? And then he ended up getting 47 plus per year. So I think that was the difference. You're seeing all this stuff come out. You're seeing the truth, the spin. Yeah. And you try to figure out what's, what's real to you and what's not. And what are your thoughts? We're gonna speculate more and more. We just want to get the phone calls going at 877-99-FOX. Now that you had a day to hear lots of commentary on this and you get to, you know, process it yourself and figure out your own thoughts. But one of the dumbest things we've seen in the past 24 hours because again, this happened during our show yesterday. The whole Michael Parsons to the Green Bay packers trade was. Speaking of cliches, something that needs to stop.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Rich has a major ick about this, I guess, major problem with this and that is the burning of the jerseys and the smashing of the TVs, like the sports baby antics. It was fun. And I'm with you, it was fun. Like the first 10 years we saw this on social media.

[B]

You're giving away too much credit. It was funny when the first couple people did it and it was real.

[A]

Now it's now when you see someone.

[B]

Take a 32 inch old flat screen that is worth 50 bucks.

[A]

Well, Danny G. Called it too. That's why it's corny, because it's so predictable. Yesterday Danny G. Said, you know, just wait until we see all the Cowboys fans burning jerseys, throwing things, having tantrums. And sure enough, that's what you see all over your timeline on social media.

[B]

Originally, the first person that did it, you know what it's like. I'll compare it to something. Ugly sweaters. Follow my ridiculous analogy, Danny. I have an analogy for everything. You know this by now. Remember when people would have ugly sweaters at a Christmas party and you'd be like, oh, wow, that is like a hideous sweater. Because it was a sweater they found in like their grandparents house or in the attic. Mom or dad put it up there. It was from like 1983.

[A]

Yeah. It was Uncle Bart's sweater.

[B]

And there was something authentic in a trunk. There was authenticity about, damn, this is an ugly ass sweater.

[A]

Now you got tipsy elves on shark tank. And then, yeah, now they sell them.

[B]

Yeah, now people design ugly sweaters. And I'm like, well, it's not an ugly sweater. If you designed it to be ugly. That defeats the purpose of the ugly sweater. I could design an ugly sweater. The point of the ugly sweater was, oh, they didn't realize it was ugly. They tried to actually sell it for real.

[A]

And what does this have to do with Micah Parsons?

[D]

He's getting there.

[B]

I'm getting there.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

In the beginning, the first guy that burnt his jersey or smashed his TV did it out of genuine craze mo like it was a crazy moment.

[A]

I think my dad invented this. I saw my dad blow a fuse when I was a young man. My teenage sisters would drive him crazy. I remember him pulling the TV out.

[B]

Of the wall, your dad, and he.

[A]

Threw it down the steps. He blew a socket because my sisters drove him mad.

[B]

Your dad had three teenage girls at the same time?

[A]

Yeah, I don't think he was ever the same, I really don't. But I think my dad invented this a long time ago, thanks to my sisters.

[B]

That's when big Steve Covino went cuckoo.

[A]

Yeah, the same guy, he's still pacing around.

[B]

So my dumb analogy is authenticity, right? Authenticity. The first person to burn a jersey of a player they didn't like anymore probably did it out of pure in the moment. Like, I hate this guy, I'm going to burn his jersey. Or can you believe this team missed a game winning field goal? I'm going to punch my tv. And someone happened to be recording it. Now you could sniff out how eye rollingly set up these things are because you know what you never see? You never see someone smashing their 85 inch nice new TV. Or the nicely mounted, you see a.

[A]

32 inch, it's a projection TV from 2000.

[B]

You see a 32 inch or a 42 inch older TV that's on a TV stand, they pick it up and smash it. And you know that if you go to Walmart, you could buy a brand new one of those for like 200 bucks. So I am not impressed by you smashing a $200 old ass TV.

[A]

And I don't know, there's something about me that rubs it the wrong way. Just in the sense that like I understand it's a Michael Parsons jersey, so there's not a lot of value there with his name on the back anymore. That's still like a $200 plus J. That's an official NFL jersey most of the time. And you're just going to burn it like that? To me, jerseys, even if they're players that are long gone, are things you keep in your closet. Like, you don't recycle them, you don't donate them. You sort of keep them because they're your jersey. It's part of your fandom. Right?

[B]

Give it to a Big Bang Theory actor, Jim Parsons.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.

[D]

The player may come back someday. I still have an Amari Cooper jersey in my closet with hope.

[A]

Yeah, you never know.

[D]

I mean, Brock Bowers has his number now.

[A]

You don't get rid of those things because it was just part of your journey as a fan. But you're burning. Like, how wasteful is that to me? Like, to me, the whole thing is just off.

[B]

I don't think it's wasteful.

[A]

Why not?

[B]

I just think it's my problem that.

[A]

You burned down your house. Being an ass. It's like. And that's bound to happen. I guarantee it. Well, you see. What does it always start with? Any G. Lighter fluid. Oh, yeah, right.

[D]

Yeah. We call it pulling a left eye.

[A]

Yeah. You think that's safe? Dude, just like every Thanksgiving, there's some jabroni that burns his house down.

[B]

Deep frying the turkey.

[A]

Deep frying the turkey. You always hear it because there's. Mark my words, it's all fun and games till some idiot kid burns his house down.

[B]

Come on, mon, give me a turkey.

[E]

That was pretty good. Yours was really good.

[B]

You really.

[A]

You got to let the.

[E]

No, I can't.

[A]

Yeah, you don't.

[B]

That's what you said.

[D]

Monty's turkey needs to be shot.

[A]

Guaranteed. Yeah, guaranteed. Someone burns their patio down or house down because they don't know how to do it right. They're not balancing out the. The levels of the turkey. And else up in flames. Some idiot thinks he's trying to go viral with his lighter fluid. He's gonna light up the house.

[B]

Well.

[A]

And it's just so dumb and so predictable. And when Rich and I agree, and Danny G. Agrees, it's factamundo.

[B]

But we find another.

[A]

Find something else.

[B]

We are, pun intended, fueling the fire by watching these stupid videos. So if you see one, scroll past it fast. Don't watch some, as you said, jabroni. Bernie Jersey smashing a tv, throwing something through his tv. We are all fueling this. So again, yesterday, the big trade happened right at the beginning of Our show, which was awesome.

[A]

You know what I prefer? I prefer the move of putting some duct tape over the name and just writing something else on it.

[B]

That's just funny.

[A]

Yeah. I'm a bigger fan of that move than burning it. So now that you had some time to process, what has stood out to you, what are you believing? And do you just believe that? Is it as simple as it seems? Does Jerry Jones have some master plan? Was Micah just a pain in the ass? Michael, Micah, whatever. Or is it as simple as he just dropped the ball on this one? Because it could be like, the obvious, right? It could be. The obvious is he just dropped the ball on it. Couldn't make it happen, couldn't make it work. He lost the key player. End of story. Because he could have got a lot more from Michael Parsons earlier on last year. Whatever. They didn't get a whole lot for the dude. Did he just drop the ball here, or is this a bigger play at hand? What are your thoughts now that you had time to process? Now that you heard everybody talking about it? Now that you heard, you know what Cam Ward was saying?

[B]

Cam Newton.

[A]

Oh, that Cam.

[B]

Cam Ward has said nothing, and he has gone under the radar. And Cam, you know what Cam Ward is saying? He's saying, no one cares about me right now, and I love it. This kid is the number one pick. He's on a, you know what is arguably one of the still weaker teams in the NFL. And no one's going to bother Cam Ward all year. So you know what?

[A]

You know what Cam from Modern Family had to say about it? I mean, Cam.

[D]

Cam with the big hat.

[A]

Yeah, Cam. The one with the big hat.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Cam Newton was basically implying that Sir Isaac Cam Newton. Yes. That. Yeah, there's a lot of buzz about him going to Green Bay, but settle down. Like, reality check. They're not even the best team in their division. Like, they're not going to the Super Bowl. They're not super bowl bound. This doesn't make them super bowl contenders or champions. Like, give it three years, maybe. Yeah, there's a lot of talent.

[B]

They're very young.

[A]

But he's like, they're not even the best team in the division. It's not that big of a loss that you're making it out to be. So it's also maybe, hey, are we all prisoners of the moment because he's such a big name and Dallas comes with so much expectation?

[D]

Like, how did the packers have had success even last playoffs?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Jordan Love just didn't have the best game in the playoffs.

[D]

They ran into the Eagles, who won the Super Bowl.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

So he kept camp saying, they're young. They're one of the young teams. Yeah. Yes, they're one of the young teams. That doesn't mean they're not good just because they're a young.

[A]

But they still got to get past the Lions, right? So you heard everybody talking about it. You heard us talking about it yesterday for a good hour plus hour and a half at least. And if you missed it, catch it on the podcast. Search Covino and Rich wherever you stream, because it was fun. Breaking news. Hey, it's Rich's favorite Billy Joel song.

[B]

Don't you dare say that.

[A]

Doris Day, red China, Joe DiMaggio. All right, Covino and Rich. We didn't start the fire. It was the idiot who was lighting up the Micah Parsons jersey.

[B]

Billy Joel, that documentary on hbo. Max. And so it goes. Fantastic. You guys beat me to it. You forget that. That he admits that's, like, his cheesiest song. But I think every kid did that social studies project where you went through the lyrics of we didn't start the fire. And it. You know, they even talk about it in the documentary, how it became a national social studies type of thing.

[A]

Well, Big Sexy Ryan's playing that because we were talking about. You're gonna burn your house down, you little jerk. You big dummy. Trying to go viral. Burning your jersey. Stop it. It's stupid. The stage is stupid. Smashing TVs, burning the jerseys. I don't know. Think of something else. We've seen it. We've done it. And Danny G. Called it yesterday when it was announced here on this show, we are Covino and Rich. Before I forget, while it's on my mind, Rich, we are filling in for the great Dan Patrick on Labor Day. So wake up with us on Monday, early, like Mr. Furley. Like the old guy. 6am out here on the west, 9am on the east. For Dan Patrick on Monday.

[B]

Be your last chance to wear white pants.

[A]

Yes. And everybody's talking about my white pants.

[B]

You can't wear white pants.

[A]

I don't have my white pants on.

[B]

Can't wear white pants after Labor Day. Unless you're pit bull. Right? You know what that comes from? I looked that up because that was, like, something you heard as a kid. I don't think people care about that anymore.

[A]

But, Jesus, do we really care?

[B]

Yeah. I'll tell you why.

[A]

Okay, fine.

[D]

Who has white pants anyways, besides Tom Brady?

[B]

What do you want to talk about Micah Parsons more? Jesus Christ. White pants. Back in the day. Back in the day, you would hear like, old ladies be like, you can't wear white after Labor Day, because apparently in old timey times.

[A]

Yeah, my white pants.

[B]

See, I think even before that, like.

[A]

Old timey times, super swing in my step and a nickel in my white pocket. Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo.

[B]

Back in the day, yeah. Super wealthy people, like, remember watching, like, Spartacus, like, the Buxtons, like, they would bathe in rainwater with, like, leaves and stuff. Like, back in the day, if you were wealthy, if you were a Rockefeller this time of the year, they would pack away all your summer garb and you would. And they would, like, have to bring it somewhere else, like on a horse and carriage. And you would get different wardrobes. And apparently that's where it derives from, because if so, if you had such an extensive wardrobe, you had to be rich.

[A]

Well, thank you. I feel so much cooler knowing that fact. Now, speaking of white pants, how about that old guy with the white polo on with the blue star on it? Jerry Jones.

[B]

You're jonesing for some Jerry.

[A]

I saw Richard Sherman chirp. And again, everybody talking about it, right? You're like Micah Parsons. No longer a cowboy. He was a four time Pro Bowler, led the NFL, and quarterback pressure since 2021. He only missed five games, and Jerry Jones still refused to pay him. Jerry Jones also pulled a move out of. Well, who's the first person I've ever seen do this? First person I ever saw do it. And I saw it, and I knew it was Howard Stern. I used to work at Kroc New York. For years I worked at Kroc New York. And I would see Howard Stern. Howard Stern, Howard Stern, the Antichrist. Howard Stern would be saying hello to other colleagues. Hey, what's up, Mike? How are you?

[B]

By the way, before Camino hung out with me, he used to just hang out with Beetlejuice and High Pitch Eric all the time. Yeah, those are his friends.

[A]

I was High Pitch. Yep. I was one of the Wag pack. Yeah. Me. Beetlejuice.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Elephant Boy.

[B]

Yeah. That was Camino's crew when I first met him. I saved him.

[D]

Picked up more girls with that crew.

[A]

Yeah, true. My point is, I'd see Howard Stern in the hall.

[B]

If it wasn't for me, he would have turned into JD and he knew.

[A]

The people we worked with. I would see him, call him by name, but to establish some sort of superiority, dominance, dominance, assertiveness, whatever you want to call it, I don't know. When it came to on air antics. He would pretend like he didn't know those people just to make them feel lame. Like, yeah, just because this guy's a so called boss. No, I'm the boss. What's that guy's name again? And I'd be thinking, you mean the guy you see every day and I see you say hello to, you know, his name.

[B]

It's a power move.

[A]

He's the boss. I would see him pull legitimate, deliberate power moves. And it was funny to me, but. And it could have been just like a fun antic. Like you know, when we say, Mike, who runs this place? Who? I mean, I hope Danny G knows who he is, but Howard would be like, yeah, I don't know that guy.

[B]

Like, who's the guy we replace? Like DJ Bell or something?

[A]

Yeah, I don't know. BJ Bell or something? Something like that. I don't know. So my point is, I would think in my mind as a youngster coming up in radio, man, I know Howard knows that guy. This is his way of saying, I'm more important than the boss.

[B]

Yeah, it's, it's.

[A]

What's his name? John. John, yeah, John. What's his name? Hey, Gary. What's that guy's name? And Gary would be like, oh, oh, you know, you know. So yesterday during a press conference, Jerry Jones, who's the center of all this controversy, keeps calling him Michael Parsons. Like, Michael Parsons. Is he just old? Here's the question. Is he just old? Like, like your dad who just gets everybody's name wrong? Like my dad, like everybody's dad. Like Ted Kennedy. When he said Mike McGuire and Sammy.

[B]

Do you remember that we have that Mike McGuire.

[A]

That was a great.

[B]

One of my favorites. A special pleasure for me to introduce our two home run kings for working families in America. Mike McGuire and Sammy Sousser of the White House. It's a pleasure to introduce them. First of all, our friend Al Gore. Let's give him a bosom welcome. By the way, why does it sound like it's from 1920? Ask not what you could do for your country. So is it old guy syndrome or is it disrespect? That's the question.

[A]

Was Ryan in the studio, like, cranking that out of an old time record player? What the hell was that? That sounds like JFK. That's, that's Ted Kennedy talking about Mike McGuire and Sammy, by the way, Mike McGuire and Sammy Souser. When, like, the whole world stopped to watch them hit home runs like your, your grandpappy and your Nana knew Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa. But he got it wrong. So is. Is Jerry Jones that out of it? Where he's calling him Michael Parsons publicly on a. At a big stage where the world is watching? Or is it a old school power move? Subliminally, maybe intentionally, I don't know, because here's why I brought up the America's Team thing. When you watch America's Team on Netflix, the guy's still sharp. He's with it, he's making moves. He wants to win. Now you're going to tell me he pulled an old guy move and he kept saying Michael Parsons.

[B]

I think the older you get, he's.

[A]

The guy spending millions on.

[B]

I think the older you get, you just start mispronouncing things and you don't care anymore. It's dad syndrome. I think it.

[A]

You're gonna spend $40 million a year on a guy, you don't even know his first name.

[B]

Michael Parsons.

[A]

You're gonna tell me you know Micah.

[B]

Dad, it's Micah.

[A]

This guy is so invest. Was investing in the guy, you're gonna tell me he doesn't know his name is Micah.

[B]

My dad says everything wrong, and I think it's you. You hit 60 something, you hit 70, it's over. I'll give you a great example. Every Latino baseball player. My dad Americanizes his name in the weakest way. And I'll make fun of my dad. I remember there was a Mets pitcher, middle reliever that pitched like every day. Fernando Nieve. My dad would always say, oh, you see last night, Fernando Nieve.

[A]

I'm like, that is Fernando Nieves.

[B]

His name is not Neve. I promise you his name is not Neve. Oh, I'm pretty sure it is. No, it's Nieve.

[A]

Okay, but that's your dad, and that's my dad who says everything wrong. I'm with you.

[B]

What did your dad call that place? Jembro. What was that?

[A]

It's so stupid that we know each other's stories. There was a store. I'm from Union, New Jersey. There's a store called Jembro, which was like, I don't know, like a stupid. I don't know why my dad would ever go there. For years my dad would say, yeah.

[B]

I gotta go to Jamboree and pick some stuff up.

[A]

And for years I'm like, where's this jamboree that dad goes to all the time? Yeah, Jamboree right out Morris Avenue.

[B]

Jamboree.

[A]

And then one time I'm with him, I'm like, this is Jamboree. It says Gem, bro, G E M.

[B]

B R O. Jambro.

[A]

Yeah, Jamboree. I'm like, it doesn't say jamboree. And he would always call job lot, odd lot.

[B]

And like, he.

[A]

Everything would be wrong. Yeah, so. So is this. You're gonna tell me that this guy's pulling old guy moves. He's not your dad.

[B]

Jerry Jones saying Michael Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys. Him saying Michael Parsons is definitely old guy stuff.

[D]

He's on a radio show weekly or power move. For how many decades now has he been in front of the world on camera?

[B]

One of the most popular broadcasters who's around our parents age does this all the time. You ever heard of Mad Dog Russo, one of our pals?

[A]

No. You know what?

[B]

Mispronounces everything not out of disrespect.

[A]

This guy's playing. I think he's playing chess. This isn't a hot take. I'm saying there's a strong possibility that he's trying to minimize the importance of this guy. But yeah, Michael Parsons. Yeah, it didn't work out. Michael, Michael. Michael Parsons. Everybody knows, and he knows more than anybody. He was writing checks to this guy that it's Micah Parsons. You only do that. Powerful people only do that when they're trying to minimize the situation. My dad, speaking of, my dad told me a story. I'm like, damn, dad's cold blooded. My dad said that there was this guy he went to school with when he was a kid. And this guy always, you know, yeah, he's.

[B]

Guy will bust my chops.

[A]

He would bust my chops, this guy, you know, the guy would bully my dad as a high school dude. And my dad said he saw him at a grocery store years later. And my dad recognized me. Like, there's that guy that I had beef with when we were kids. And the guy came up to him, hey, Steve Covino, it's me, John, from. From. From Irvington. Remember we graduated Ticket. My dad stone cold stared him in the eye.

[B]

You know what he said?

[A]

I don't know you. And he's like, it's me, it's John. My dad's like, yeah, I don't know, man.

[B]

I don't.

[A]

He's like, are you Steve? He's like, yeah, I'm Steve. He's like, remember we were in history class and graduated? He's like, I don't know you, man. Sorry.

[B]

But hey, have a good one.

[A]

I'm like, you did that. That's cold blooded. You don't think a guy who just got dissed nationwide to be on the Cowboys. You don't think there could be a chance that he was like, yeah, Mike, Michael, whatever.

[D]

So do you also think Al Davis was dissing Lane Kiffin back in the day? Remember when he famously called him Lance?

[A]

What I'm saying is there's a possibility. That's what I'm saying. There's a possibility. These guys are businessmen. They're powerful people. They don't want to be humiliated. So guess what? Oh, yeah. He's never going to admit that, but he minimized them.

[B]

Our parents say everything wrong. He's not your dad.

[A]

This guy's doing. Making business. Million dollar moves all the time. Building stadiums, building a brand. He's not. He's not your dad. He's not my dad. He's Jerry Jones. And if you watch the thing, he's getting old. But he's not. He's not dull by any means. He's still pretty sharp. So that's just my theory is there's a possibility that he may have done it on purpose. And part of owning someone in that way is you never admit it.

[B]

You know where I noticed this?

[A]

You're just not important enough for me to know.

[B]

It's been like a decade now, but I remember when my wife and I got married, you know how out of respect, you invite some of your parents, friends. Like you invite a couple of your dad's best buds, or, you know, your wife has family. I remember sending invites to my dad's friends. And my dad's just said their names wrong forever. Like last names. He's just completely mispronouncing. My dad had a butt.

[A]

Nothing for nothing, dude. But my dad, your dad, they're not Jerry Jones. Working class heroes, blue collar guys, they don't care. They just don't, you know, they're just not living that life. Jerry Jones cares. This guy's living to win one more before he dies. He doesn't know his name is Micah. All I'm saying is think about it. That's all I'm saying. And your phone calls on that next 87799.

[B]

Hey, monsie, I have a question for you. Your heritage is what again? Your family's from where?

[E]

Costa Rica.

[A]

My dad. Pura vida, bro.

[B]

My dad will always say Costa Rica. Is that like an old guy thing, too, or is that.

[E]

I think it's an old guy thing.

[A]

Oh, Costa Rica.

[B]

Rico.

[E]

Costa. I've heard it before.

[B]

I love Costa Rica.

[A]

Costco. I love Costco. Oh, yeah. Costco.

[B]

Rico. All right, monsieur. What you got going on, buddy?

[E]

Nieve do you know what that is in Spanish?

[B]

Fernando? Nieve.

[E]

But do you know that's something Key.

[A]

Nieve.

[B]

Key.

[A]

Right?

[B]

No, no, that's what it's.

[E]

Snow. Snow.

[A]

I said it.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Good job. Good job. There we go. We learned. We also learn here on Camino.

[B]

Do you like the new Buffalo Bills Nieve uniforms?

[E]

I do like the Nieve.

[B]

They look pretty cool, right? Those snowed out rivalry jersey?

[E]

It works perfectly for them in Buffalo.

[B]

I think, you know, the Bills have the coolest one and I think the Dolphins matte helmets are pretty cool too.

[E]

I have not seen the matte helmet.

[B]

Check them out.

[E]

I will. I will.

And shout out to our affiliate up in the Bay Area. What's up, Bay Area? AM960KN. I know that's a big stick up there. So what's up, Bay Area? Let's go Niners.

[A]

I love the Bay Area. Let's go there. Let's do it live. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.

[B]

So I got two questions for you, and then we're going to get into some Chipotle worker or WNBA player. I know Danny wants to play a game with us and it has to do with beer prices at NFL stadiums.

[A]

No, he wants to play Hungry Hungry Hippos and Connect4.

[B]

Can't wait.

[D]

I'll whoop you on Uno.

[B]

Let's take two quick phone calls and then a baseball. Thought to mix it up. McKinney in Ohio. What's up? Gotta be you. How y' all doing today? What's up, man? So do you think Jerry Jones is pulling old guy? I just don't pronounce things the right way. Or do you think it's a power move?

[A]

It's a. I think it's a power move. For the record, even Sager said Jerry Jones, very calculated guy. And it's a. It's a businessman. It's a powerful man's way of saying, you're unimportant to me. I don't care what your name is. Michael Parsons, what do you think, man?

[B]

What's up, bud? I think that it is a pure power move. It's a way. If you remember when rock used to.

[A]

Say, what's your name?

[B]

And he goes, I don't care what your name is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

And that's his way of doing it without saying like, yeah, he's unimportant. He can't. He can't stop the run. Yeah, Michael. Yeah, whatever. We're moving on. I think there's truth to that.

[B]

James in Alabama. What's up, James? Hey, thanks, guys. I listen to you all the time. I'm on the road 50 weeks out of the year. Listen to you all the time. Great show. Oh, thank you, Jerry. Hey, listen, it could be a combination of both, but Jerry's old. Jerry's a master about putting the brand together, growing that from 150 million to a $8 billion brand. He's a master at that. What he is not. We're getting that a sense of that more and more every as every year passes and people like maybe they should dance over the GM spot to someone else. It's more and more apparent that it needs to happen. Right.

[A]

I mean they addressed that in the last episode of America's Team and it's kind of sad and emotional. So I think you guys need to watch that to get a true sense of what's really happening or what could be happening with this move this week.

[B]

Let me hit you up with a few things that are coming up. We're definitely going to talk about week one of the NFL. Danny G. Also wants to give us a stadium beer quiz. So we're going to get to that. We'll give away some prizes, play around of WNBA player or Chipotle worker. And I have two baseball. Deep thoughts.

[A]

Deep thoughts.

[B]

Deep thoughts.

[A]

Deep thoughts are like warning track.

[B]

The maybe like maybe like early warning track.

[A]

He's got like little nubber thoughts. Like a squibbler sort of squibbler thoughts.

[B]

Next. I did want to ask you guys, I want to see if you could. I. You're not going to get this, but it just shows you how the emphasis on batting average in baseball has like totally changed. I was looking at some old school stats from when we were kids. Every team had at least 1.300hitter, right?

[A]

What is there under 5 now?

[B]

It's funny you would say that. As we speak, we got 25 games left in the season and there are five guys in all of Major League Baseball hitting.300 or over. It's embarrassing. And it's embarrassing because not only do we only have five guys batting over.300.

[A]

Every time, every time you say five guys, I'm thinking of burgers and I'm getting real hungry now.

[B]

Five guys. You like those extra fries and peanuts?

[A]

I probably should have ate before I got here.

[B]

Only five guys. And we all know that Aaron Judge is one of them and he's batting.323, leading the league by 16 points. The other four guys batting over.300.307, 306, 303 and 302.

[A]

He might be the only guy by the time.

[B]

If any of these guys get a little cold, I bet you're I my prediction now there's going to be three guys.

[A]

It was seven about a month ago.

[B]

So two guys are falling off. Yeah.

[D]

Freddie Freeman is on that list, right?

[B]

Fred Duardo Freeman.

[A]

What the list of picking his Nose on camera. Yeah, he's on that list.

[B]

Freddie Freeman. He wasn't picking his nose. He was pulling out nose hairs. Cavino.

[A]

In fact, we talked about that on over promised our bonus pod. It dropped yesterday on our new YouTube page. Covino Enrich FSR on YouTube, episode 106. We talked about things we just accept, but they're so gross in sports. You see Freddie Freeman digging, ripping hairs out of his nose, then shaking hands, and we're like, yeah, it's baseball. Whatever.

[B]

You ever pick out a nose hair and genuinely start tearing up and cry? Like, oh, yeah, for sure. All right, so you were right. Freddie Freeman. But not for long. Danny, he's batting.302. He has one overnight or a little, you know, two games where he goes 1 for 8.

[A]

I can't even tell you who else is on the list.

[B]

I was going to say Freddie Freeman's number five.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Aaron Judge is number one, Right. Only three other guys besides Aaron Judge, your reigning MVP and your World Series mvp, Freddie Freeman. Besides all of baseball. Baseball Judge Freeman and the other cats.

[A]

I don't know. I'm gonna give you.

[B]

I'll give you the hint. One guy is from your hated Houston Astros. And I don't even think you'd guess this guy.

[A]

No, I wouldn't. Because I'll think Altuve or Cray. And his name?

[D]

Pena.

[B]

Jeremy Pena. Jeremy Pena is batting.306 again. Have a bad week. You're betting two.90 something, right? And the other two guys, this is shocking. Only five guys batting over.300. Two of them on the Toronto Blue Jays.

[A]

Oh, the catcher, what's his name?

[B]

Boba?

[A]

Alex. No, no.

[B]

Boba Shet's one of them. He's batting.307, which is the second best batting average in baseball.

[A]

Boba Shed, the bounty hunter.

[B]

Yes, Boba Shed, the bounty hunter. Boba Shed is batting.307. And the other is George Springer batting.303. So when you look at Springer batting.303 and Freeman batting.302, I thought maybe Alejandro.

[A]

Kirk, what is he batting? He's a pretty good batter, too.

[B]

Within a week, Covino, it could be down to three. And I'm not being the old guy, that's like batting average.

[A]

Alejandro Kirk is betting.299. So he's right up there. The Blue Jays have some decent bats in their lineup. That's why they're tops in the AL East. So he's right there.

[B]

Oh, wow. So, yeah, he's right under the. The Mendoza line will be 200. But yeah, Kirk is right there, huh?

[A]

299, 11 bombs, 60 RBI, all star.

[B]

Catcher, but there you go.

[A]

So. Wow, man.

[B]

And the. Oh, the other thought I had about baseball. And then we'll get into some football and beer, which I don't know. I don't know if you could. Anyone could argue football and beer. It's like a combo that goes like burgers and fries. Here's my question. When something so predictable and it still happens, do you blame it on little mental hangups you can't predict? I mean, you can't prevent. Meaning the Mets swept the Phillies owns them. They own them in their head. Mets own the Phillies. Conventional wisdom would say the first game after that series, Philly's going to light it up and the Mets are going to have, like, a letdown loss. You feel it coming and it happens. What is that phenomenon? Like, the inability to prevent what you know is going to happen. Like, they say it in the NFL all the time, like, that's a trap game. And, you know, it's a trap game.

[A]

How about this one?

[B]

How about the Lions are playing like the Giants or something, and you're like, man, it looks. They're looking ahead. It's a trap game. I trap games in the NSF.

[A]

Coincidence. It's always, you know, 50, 50 chance.

[B]

No, but I'm saying, like, yesterday, I could have told you Philly, who looked cold as could be against the Mets, end up scoring like, 20 runs and Schwaber hits four bombs, and you couldn't. You knew that was.

[A]

Someone makes a crazy play in the field, they're always the first person to lead off that next inning.

[B]

Yeah, maybe it's just the awareness theory.

[A]

I don't know. But something we could. Yeah, maybe we're just aware of that happening often.

[B]

But I could have told you that after sweeping the Phillies and looking hot, I was like, I knew the Mets were going to lose yesterday. You just felt it like it was. It's inevitable. It's. It's. Again, it's that letdown loss after a big win in football.

[A]

Or maybe, you know, subconsciously a team just lets their foot off the pedal a little bit because they just want a series. But even if you're not playing with the same urgency.

[B]

But I'm saying, if, you know, that's your tendency, how does it still happen? Like, you don't think the Mets had a conversation like, we just swept the Phillies. We cannot allow this next game against the Marlins to be a letdown. Meanwhile, they have, like, four errors and lose.

[A]

I don't know what Are your thoughts Fox Sports Radio Nation. Is Kavino and Rich broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Ever wanted to try an Olympic or Paralympic sport? Try fencing. It's fast, safe, easy to start. Find a beginner class near [e-mail] trifencing that's usafencing.org.

[B]

Try fencing.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Try fencing. Danny G. I know you're pumped about your Raiders. You're pumped about the football season starting, and I know you found the list that you wanted to go over. So this is fun. And while we do this, let's get a contestant for Chipotle worker or WNBA player. We play this game once a week, give away some prizes. So if you want to get involved, 87799 on Fox.

[A]

It's our fun way of getting the weekend going. Holiday weekend, Labor Day weekend, extended weekend, and our way of giving back to you. Giving away prizes while familiarizing ourselves with the wnba.

[B]

That's a nice way to put it. Yeah. Let's go.

[A]

Yeah, that's the ticket.

[B]

Let's go to Danny and tug little NFL.

[D]

This research was done by BetMGM. This is the price of beer at every NFL stadium. We're talking just a regular size draft.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

All right, so I'm gonna let you guys try to guess the top five stadiums. So the most expensive, expensive, and then the bottom five, the cheapest.

[B]

I don't want to give my strategy, but my strategy is this. So I will give it away. I suppose to be the cheapest, it needs to be a smaller market team or a team that's so desperate they want fans to come. Like we have no fans, please. It'll be five dollar beers. And the expensive ones are going to be teams that have playoff success because they know people are going no matter what.

[A]

And keep in mind Rich Davis. Davis doubles the prices because he wears a beer helmet. So he buys two every time in the holster. Yeah. So. All right. We're just doing one, Rich, as usual.

[D]

You guys get three strikes.

[A]

Okay? All right, fair enough.

[B]

So we're going top three and bottom three or top five and bottom five.

[D]

So whatever you want to start with. Top or bottom? You want to start with the top top five and bottom five. Monty can help you too.

[A]

All right, let's agree on our picks.

[B]

Monster. We all agree that just because it's New York and New York is overpriced, Met Life. Giants and jets would probably be here.

[E]

Yeah, I would think so.

[B]

MetLife. Danny G. That is your first X. Are you What?

[A]

I agree with Rich.

[E]

I agree the Logic was there.

[A]

We locked it in.

[D]

They're actually seventh. They are $13.

[A]

Okay, I got one. Rich. Your stadium.

[B]

I mean, Bay Area expensive. I know. It's not the Bay Area. It's Santa Clara. But mindset, we.

[E]

Yes, yes, yes.

[B]

49Ers in. Lock it in.

[D]

Boom. Put them on the board. Niners at $14, so they're. They're tied there again.

[A]

These are the top five most expensive beer drafts at the stadium.

[B]

All right. Because their fan base just had a Super bowl. Because it's still northeast expensive. Philadelphia. What did you say? The link. No, I didn't lock.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, no, I didn't lock.

[D]

I'm sorry.

[B]

I think he gave us one now.

[A]

Because he did.

[B]

I just.

[D]

That's your free pass.

[A]

Think of the overhead. How about. How about. Oh, well, Buffalo's making a new stadium, so they gotta make some money. Hold on. Dallas.

[B]

Oh, Jerry and Dallas wanna Do. We want to lock in Dallas.

[A]

I mean, it's America's team.

[E]

It is America's team. And even though they haven't done anything yet.

[B]

Lock and load.

[A]

They make money. Yeah.

[B]

Dallas.

[D]

Nah, Give them another X. Sorry. Yeah, they're middle. They are middle of the pack. $9.71.

[B]

Can I pick cheap ones now? Just.

[E]

What about Sofi?

[B]

Oh, Sofi. Yeah. Lock it in la.

[D]

Yes. Monty got you guys back on the board. They're also at 14, like, the 90s.

[A]

So we got, what, two out of five? Yeah, two out of five so far. We got one more strike. Top five, most expensive beer at the stadium. What stadium is it?

[B]

Let's. Let's. Let's talk this out.

[D]

You guys need one and two.

[B]

Oh, would. Would.

[A]

There's a number one that we haven't gotten.

[D]

You haven't gotten the number one? One, two. Oh, those were tied for four, so, one, two, and three. Raiders. Do you lock that in?

[A]

He sounded excited.

[B]

He sounded excited.

[D]

It's my team.

[B]

I mean, a cocktail in Vegas is $30. Yeah, it's Vegas. Lock it.

[D]

Raiders are number two on the list.

[B]

Good one.

[A]

Good one.

[D]

$14.99. So now you need number one and number three.

[B]

Hold on.

[A]

15 bucks? Almost. For a draft?

[D]

Yep.

[A]

That's crazy, dude.

[B]

All right, well, follow my thinking here. We're not locking in Danny, so let me discuss. All right, I'm thinking of cities we go to where things are overpriced. South beach is.

[A]

And.

[B]

But the Dolphins are. Is that team historically known to overcharge? I don't know.

[A]

How about Denver?

[E]

I was thinking Denver. That's funny that you said that. I actually was thinking Denver as well.

[A]

But do they get discounts? Because, you know, a lot of beer is made there so that maybe it's cheaper.

[B]

Of course. Yeah, that might be the key. And people smoking weed in Denver.

[D]

Sounds like you guys are overthinking this thing.

[A]

We got one more strike.

[D]

Yeah, one more strike. You need two more on the board here.

[B]

Kansas City. Because of the success of the organization.

[E]

Kansas. What about Chicago? Because it's Chicago and it's one of the cities. Just based on the fact that it's Chicago Bears. I know they haven't had success, but.

[B]

What are we locking in?

[A]

Oh, hold on. New England.

[B]

Yeah. They're on a down year, though. They have had a couple bad years.

[A]

Yeah. So they got to make their money somehow. Ticket sales are down.

[B]

All right, let's not delay anymore. What are we locking in New England? Are we locking in Chicago?

[A]

Let's lock in Chicago so we can.

[B]

Blame it on Mon G. Chicago.

[A]

No.

[D]

They'Re on the.

[B]

Sorry.

[D]

They're on the outside looking in at $11.25. Number one is Washington.

[A]

Washington, D.C. wow.

[D]

The capital. $16.49.

[A]

That's nuts.

[D]

Tampa Bay is right after Vegas. $14.25.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

We wouldn't have guessed that.

[B]

Now the bottom feeders, the. We're getting giveaway beer.

[A]

The cheapest brew.

[B]

Ha ha. I. I am a good listener. Ask my wife. Just kidding. She'll say the opposite. But I somehow remember a year it could have been two years ago. Danny, we talked about how the city of Atlanta loves to keep the cost of their concessions down. And I remember going to the all Star game for baseball, and I was baffled how cheap the concessions were compared to other stadiums. So I imagine the Falcons do the same. I'm locking in Atlanta.

[D]

You guys all agree on that?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

They are not in the bottom five this season.

[A]

You really hyped that up, dude.

[D]

I know.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

They're just on the outside looking in at $8. 50.

[E]

He was not happy about that one.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Where do we go from here if that's not an answer? Because I do remember that, Rich.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Or maybe that was just baseball. I don't know.

[D]

No, they. They famously have well priced concessions there in Atlanta.

[A]

All right. Cheapest beer in the NFL.

[B]

They can't get people to go to the game. So. Jacksonville. Lock it in.

[A]

Jacksonville. No.

[B]

This is annoying.

[D]

Sorry, buddy.

[C]

I'm the worst.

[D]

Jacksonville's middle of the pack at $10.24.

[A]

Do we want to go to Denver theory.

[B]

The Denver. There's a brew, it's the home of Coors. But then you can say, where's the helm of Anheuser Busch? Well, there's no Saint Louis. There's no Saint Louis.

[A]

Yeah, there's no Saint Louis.

[B]

Monty.

[E]

What about the Panthers? What about in Carolina?

[B]

Okay. Yeah, South. It's like, gee, how cheaper? Like, I lock it. You want to lock it, Monsieur Panthers?

[D]

Danny, you guys following the female like you usually do? No.

[B]

We got three strikes.

[D]

$10.50.

[A]

Who are the.

[B]

Who are the five bottom beers now.

[D]

You were close with your thinking about Denver. They're number six at $8.30. Here are the five most affordable. The Colts coming in at $8.18.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[D]

The Vikings at $8.05.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

The Lions at $7 and 20 cents.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

The Browns trying to get their fans inebriated. $7.15. In Cincinnati coming in with the most affordable draft at $6.80.

[A]

Hey, Danny G. They don't want to.

[B]

Pay their players and they don't want to, you know.

[A]

No, but it's significant because Ohio, Washington is double that.

[D]

At the top again, Commander, 1649, Raiders, 15 bucks. And Tampa Bay up there at $14. 25. So.

[A]

So those are the top five most expensive beer and or stadiums, I should say, and the top five lowest.

[B]

Hope my picks do better this year than my picks on this.

[A]

Thank you, Danny g. Thank you, BetMGM.

[B]

Thank you, everybody. Yeah, thanks, Larry.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

All right.

[A]

You know, we sucked at that, by the way.

[B]

Not like bad.

[E]

You can blame me.

[B]

It was all me. That's okay, Monsie. I'm not blaming you.

With Sack McFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, talking about his his new Frank Sinatra music project.

[D]

Anyone who loves music would salivate over something like this. The biggest question for us was what's in these boxes?

[B]

There were a few unplayed gems that.

[D]

We had been alerted to by Charlie.

[B]

Pinion of Sinatra Enterprises, so we knew.

[D]

That certain songs like Shadow of your Smile, which actually is not on this record, it'll Be on the next one.

[A]

Seth McFarland.

[D]

Don Rickles went up to Frank Sinatra and he said, listen, and I'm going to be having dinner with this lovely woman, and I, you know, would you.

[B]

Come over and say hi?

[A]

And just so you know, because I.

[B]

Feel like if she sees that I know you, it's going to make me.

[D]

Look really cool and, you know, I.

[B]

Might have a good night.

[A]

And our host, Danny G. Oh, man.

[D]

Happy Friday.

[A]

What up, buddy?

[D]

All right, so we started this game a couple of seasons ago. Go for the wnba because everybody suddenly with Caitlin Clark was an expert on the league but didn't know any names of the players besides Caitlin Clark.

[A]

I'm trying. No. Danny. Trying.

[D]

No. We've learned a lot of names throughout this game, and we give props to Rich's favorite place to snag extra forks and napkins. Chipotle.

[A]

You say snag, I say steal.

[B]

You can't steal something that's not.

[A]

When you're stuffing handfuls in your backpack, I think that's stealing.

[B]

Hey, monsieur, when two burrito bowls are $40 or guac and I take a handful of like 10 forks and a big stack of napkins, is that stealing or getting my money's worth?

[E]

Getting your money's worth.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Have you seen the absurd amount of stuff?

[E]

You know, if he feels better about taking those forks, take those forks, Rich.

[A]

Take them.

[B]

Kavino likes defending a company that made $1.3 billion last year instead of his friends.

[A]

I just think you're better than that.

[B]

All right, you know what, let's get to it. Weekend's coming. Moncy, update us what's what's new in.

[A]

The world, you guys.

[E]

Everyone is still obviously talking about the Micah Parsons trade from going to Dallas to Green Bay. In fact, Brian Schottenheimer, Cowboys coach, spoke to the media today and nothing has changed.

[A]

Nothing's changed. My goals haven't changed.

[B]

Our team goals haven't changed. I hit the players on that today.

[A]

After I turned talked about, you know.

[B]

Just the, the tough couple days, you.

[A]

Know, for all the guys and it doesn't change. You know, the standard is the standard.

[E]

The standard is the standard for the Cowboys. Other NFL news, Buccaneers running back Rashad White dealing with that groin injury. He returned to practice. He's expected to play in Week 1 against the Falcons. The Patriots have released safety Jabril Peppers when it comes to baseball. Mariners outfielder Victor Robles. Did you guys see he threw kind of a bat in rehab. He got mad at somebody, was suspended 10 games. He appealed it so that now he's serving a seven game suspension starting today. So that changed a little bit.

[A]

How do you appeal that?

[B]

You say like wasn't me.

[E]

It wasn't me saying I was.

[C]

I, I, I don't even remember it.

[E]

I thought he was going to hit me in the head. I did that.

[A]

I just sort of slipped out of my hands.

[E]

It slipped out of my hands forward in that direction.

[B]

He's like, I'm really sorry. I'm really, really sorry.

[E]

Yeah, that's probably how Walker Bueller feels. But the Red Sox have released him anyway. Padre shortstop Xander Bogarts has been placed on the 10 day il with a non displaced Fracture in his left foot. He's gonna miss the rest of the regular season, but he could return for the postseason. And lastly, here we've got tennis going on. US Open 60, Ben Shelton retired with an apparent shoulder injury, so he is out after the third round. But three seed Carlos Alcaraz, he's headed to the fourth round. Round 17 seed Francis Tiafo lost in straight sets. On the women's side, four seed Jess Pagula, she's headed to the round of 16. Back to you guys.

[B]

No. There was some drama at the Open House.

[E]

Did you see what happened?

[B]

Yeah. That. The.

[E]

Taylor Townsend, I think. Is that who you're talking about?

[B]

Like trash and trashy.

[E]

So this is what the girl she was playing against, I could give you. I looked into it. So the girl that she was playing against released a statement after and said that there was a net point that Taylor Townsend got and won the like, it was a crucial point. And it touched the net. And I guess it's tennis. I don't know, tennis rules.

[B]

Etiquette.

[E]

Etiquette, thank you. That's the word where you kind of just address that it touched the net and it was like kind of luck on your side. And so that's what she was mad about, that she didn't.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

And called her, I think, uneducated.

[A]

Whoa.

[E]

Called her like, really?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Let's see what happens when we get outside the States.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

She said.

[E]

And then Townsend. Taylor Townsend, I think is the girl's name that she American. She was like, you need to learn how to lose better or something. And like, walked away. Be a better loser and walked away.

[B]

My takeaway, monsieur, is that instead of all of us, my instinct is to lean into. Ooh, Feud. Exciting.

[A]

Fun.

[B]

But there's of course, people on TikTok and Instagram that immediately go racial. This. That Our instinct shouldn't be that all the time. Our instinct should be like, if you saw this interaction, which I watched it, I forgot exactly what they said.

[A]

Must think juicy. Ooh, yeah.

[B]

To me, I just said, like. Like, wow, These. These women in the heat of the moment were getting it. Get it on. Yeah.

[E]

And it wasn't their first match together. You know, that probably was built up of something.

[A]

And now it's time for your express Pros. Pro of the week. All right.

[B]

Who's it going to be?

[A]

I think it's kind of easy. No one had a bigger night. He had a full on week in one night. And now he's at 248 with 49 home runs, 119 RBI. Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies started off his Thursday with 44 with 45 home runs, now has 49 home runs. And the guy's just hitting bombs, just teeing off four home runs in one game. Only the 21st player to ever do that. Kyle Schwarber is your express pros. Pro of the week. What a night, huh?

[B]

You know, I, I think Schwarbs is such a fun player to watch.

[A]

Bombs. Like, who wouldn't want that guy on your team? 119 ribby.

[B]

You know, it's a weird phenomenon. Sometimes the team you're supposed to hate has guys on it that you have a hard time hating as a Mets fan. Hard to hate Schwaber and Bryce Harper. But hey, when push comes to shove, I'll hate him.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

But like, I. It's very hard to hate those guys.

[A]

But it's a rare MLB feat. He reached it last night. Good for him.

[B]

Now it's time we do it every Friday. We get into the weekend with weekend hobnobbin Living for the weekend.

[A]

You're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing, you ever done anything dangero? Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

[D]

That is dangerous.

[A]

Friday brings us weekend hobnob whistle Go. Woo. It's what you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment this Labor Day weekend. Weekend hobnobbing Labor Day Weekend edition. I'll kick it off. This is for the fight fan that loves a goofy spectacle or lives that YouTube influencer life or just follows the UFC because salt poppy is fighting this weekend against former f UFC legend Tony Ferguson. So Salt Poppy versus Tony Ferguson in his fir first boxing bout. And Darren Till and Luke Rockhold also on that card. That's on the zone, I believe. The zone pay per view this Saturday. So more of a spectacle, but something to watch. Thunderbolts. Sexy. Ryan, are you a fan of this? Are you aware of Thunderbolts on Disney plus this weekend? Theaters? Yeah, apparently it's less Avengers, more group therapy with weapons. And that's on Disney plus over the weekend I've been talking about it. If you're watching Hard Knocks, enjoy that. But if you're not watching America's Team, after all the Dallas county boys drama, you're really missing out. And you're missing out on what makes Jerry Jones tick. It might explain a lot of what happened this week. America's team definitely worth the watch because we all grew up just watching the Cowboys dominate the 90s is called the gambler and his cowboys on Netflix Danny G. Approved. And I personally suggest Over Promised our bonus podcast. You could watch it.

[B]

It was a really fun episode this week. So honestly, I would recommend Dog Video Pod. It's like a TV show. It's 22 minutes. It's quick, it's fun. You will love it.

[E]

No, I would not be offended.

[B]

Okay, what if he popped his head over your shoulder to see what the score was?

[E]

Then don't get mad if I pop to see how the Clippers are doing. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

Well, we talk about it on Over Promise.

[B]

Hey, this weekend you may not have seen it in 1975 when it came out in theaters because you weren't alive yet, maybe, But JAWS, the 50th anniversary JAWS is in theater. So it might be cool to see a legendary movie like that remastered on the big screen.

[A]

By the way, 50 years. Happy anniversary. That's insane. Classic.

[B]

[B]

I just, I'm having a hard time getting around to anything. I'm at that stage where every day, you know when you. By the time it's like, it's bedtime and you're like, wow, God, late. Can't watch Anything. I'm falling asleep.

[A]

So maybe lay off on the edibles.

[B]
