Sam, Great to see you. Hello. And of course, Dan Beyer the great. Dan Beyer the Great with your update and spots on the videos at Covino and Rich. What's up, Rich? You mean Dan Beyer? Not a ketchup guy. Not a ketchup guy. That's. That's one of the wildest things I've. Yeah, we. We got some treats from some of our friends up in Canada and there's ketchup chips in the lobby. And I go, dan Byer. Help yourself. Not much of a ketchup guy. And for all you mustard fans out there, you're going to be disappointed as well. Thumbs down to the mustard. What kind of you. Yeah, what do you dip your nuggies in? I used to not dip them in anything except regular honey. Yes. So that's kind of my. Yeah, the sweet stuff. What is anti condiment. So when they go honey mustard. If I give you right now, if I gave you a dodger dog. What are you doing? Are you going plane? You're raw dog and a dodger dog. Well, I don't call it raw dogging. I do cook it. But I know what you're saying. I do eat a hot dog bun and dog only. That's it. No ketchup for DB Condom is like a lubrication. You can't just dry like that. I don't know, man. That's what saliva's for. What about fries? What about fries? No ketchup? Nope. Never? Nope. You don't dip them in the barbecue sauce? Nope. Nothing. I don't mind barbecue sauce, but I don't dip the fries. Let's make this ranch. They put seasoning, ketchup chips. Seasoning. Nope. In Canada. Chipotle ranch. It's just interesting. We don't need to harp on it. It just. It was interesting because my co host, Steve Cavino, the king, Dan Buyer of dippings. Yeah. Whether it's a sandwich, whether it's dipping, nugget nuggies or even steak, a burger. Kavino's all about like the sauces and dipping. So look at that. Maybe you're not a Cavino guy. So we learn something new every day. Now what is Dan Byer an expert in? All right, not condiments, but last one standing. He is the grand champion. You think you could take them? Get ready to play later on. Now let's kick it off with Aaron Rodgers. And I only say that because I have a theory on Aaron Rodgers. As Danny G Grumbles. Danny G. Gave us a four minute time limit. Starting the stopwatch right now. Well, the big announcement today Courtesy of the McAfee show was that he signed a one year deal for a reason that this is probably going to be his last year. Take a listen. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it. You know, that's why we just did a one year deal. You know, this was really about finishing with love and fun and peace for the career that I've had. I mean I played 20 freaking years. You know, like it's been long, a long run and I've enjoyed it. And what better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL with Mike Tomlin and. And the great group of leadership and great guys in the city that you know, expects. Expects you to win for me, Rich. And we'll open it up to everybody. 87799 on Fox. It's a non story. I know it Exploded the minute he said it. It's all over everywhere. Yo, man. He announced. This is last year. Hey, did you hear Aaron Rodgers? Are we really that surprised? How much guests did you think he had left? Who do you think he was going to play, like, two years and then he kind of figured that anyway? Or if he had some sort of remarkable comeback season, maybe you take it from there. Or he just rides out into the sunset and goes out on a high note. How could you possibly be surprised that it's his last season? It's so weird. It's a nothing burger with no ketchup for DB there's no ketchup on this burger. Nothing burger. I. Good for him, but I'm not surprised. I'm gonna compare Aaron Rodgers to random girls I've slept with and the Walking Dead. Whoa. There comes a point where apathy and just not really caring sort of clicks. Remember the Walking Dead? Did you watch Walking Dead every week of your life until Carl died. Then I gave up, bro. I wrote. Look what I wrote down. I'm like a psychic. I'm like Dr. Oz. No, wait, is it Oz the Mentalist? Same guy. No, different guys. Carl died. You know what? It wasn't my choice. My girlfriend was like, I can't watch anymore. To be honest, I feel like I had seen it over and over again. I made it. You knew. You knew the plot. The minute Coral died on the Walking Dead, you could hear other people saying, like, yeah, the new season. You're like, you know, I've sort of. I just don't care anymore. And you feel that way about, you know, some. Some exes you'll think about and worry about, and others like, yeah, just. I really don't care what she's up to. That's called things running their course. Yeah. And it's. I don't care. Walking Dead was great, but then it ran its course. It became so predictable. You knew it was going to happen. They end up in some new place and war ensues and they have to conquer this bad guy, and then they're chased out of that place and they got to end up. So same thing over and over again. Yeah. And again. You could say that about a lot of things in life. They run their course. You're like, yeah, just. I felt that way about the show Homeland, too. Everything in life has an expiration date. And Aaron Rodgers and. And I would say not just Aaron Rodgers, because I think he could very well have a good season, I think. I'm sorry. Except for Honey. Dan Beyer. Honey Never expires, honey. Never expires. That's, you know, great dipping choice. I, I do think that Aaron Rodgers could very well have a great year. I'm one of the few people that think, you know what, maybe he is re motivated. It's the last hurrah. I mean, I get it. He had a rough comeback with the jets, hurt himself on the first play, wasn't really 100% the next year. I think Aaron Rodgers could surprise people. But what's not in my equation here, but even that interest, really a surprise. But I'm not really like interested anymore. Here's what I wrote and I'm sticking to my notes. Aaron Rodgers announced one more year. Who cares? Isn't that exactly what we expected? And I really believe that we're going to get exactly what we expect from the situation. I don't think Aaron Rodgers stinks by any means. He had an injury and he played on a crappy team. I think you're going to get a decent performance. He rides off on a decent note and it sort of salvages the end of his career. 9 or 10 wins if they make the playoffs. That's considered a huge success. And I can't expect anything more. I think you're going to get exactly what you'd expect from this situation. I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be shocked at all if Aaron Rodgers is a top third quarterback. Meaning, Remember the other day we said, listen, you can't say everyone's top 10 when they came out with that list because there's 32 teams in the NFL. There's a top 10, a middle 10 and a bottom third. Right. I, I wouldn't be shocked if Aaron Rodgers delivered and was in that top 10 category. We're all assuming he's in that middle category. But the interest is just out there anymore. Like, hey, he's gonna retire. He'll go live his private life with his girlfriend, wife. Now that he doesn't talk about ayahuasca. All the stuff that people have talked to death over the last couple years. I get it. After 20 years fatigue, it's a big announcement. But how could you be surprised now, Rich, I'm dying to know how it's like. That was my timer on my phone. Okay, so we'll end it on Rich's last analogy and then some feedback at 877-99-FOX. You said it's also kind of like somebody, girls you've slept with in the past. Well, there's some people that some of them have mustaches. Is that the similarity here. It's funny, some of them, you follow up and you wonder how they do and you, oh, I saw them on social media. They're doing well. They're. They're married, got kids. And then others you couldn't care less about. And I think we've hit the point where Aaron Rodgers. If there was Aaron Rodgers news, we'd be salivating. I think we're over it. I think Carl died on the Walking Dead. Essentially, that's what happened to Aaron Rodgers. Like, by no means, though. I don't know how you feel, Rich, but by no means do I wish him a bad year. I'm rooting for the old guy. I'm never the one that wants to see anyone fail later in their career after a legendary run. I'm the bozo that just said he could be top 10. Yeah, but I'm just saying the interest level, like, if you were like, ooh, Aaron Rodgers first primetime game as a Steeler, of course we'll all watch. But it doesn't have that feeling it did when he had his first game as a Jet. I don't think that means that he's any less intriguing in life, though. Right. If there was another documentary about Aaron Rodgers, you'd be watching it. Not as, not as, like, excitedly. Okay, so your thoughts on the obvious announcement that he made today? Big news. Yes, but it's kind of obvious. 87799 on Fox. Do you suffer from Aaron Rodgers fatigue and do you agree he's going to have a solid season? But it's not like it's just filler. It's like we need a good quarterback until we figure out what's next to just give us a nice run and maybe make the playoffs. I know exactly what's going to happen. I don't want to pop the excitement bubble. Is there such thing? Is there really an excitement bubble for Rogers with the Steelers? But what I'm saying is we have a lot of friends that are Steelers fans. Everyone does, because they're one of those franchises that have fans all over the country. Everyone knows one knucklehead buddy that's like, yeah, I got my terrible towel. Go Steelers. It's a very popular franchise. The same way you probably know someone that's a Cowboys fan. Steelers are that type of franchise. I don't know any of my Steeler fan friends that are really fired up about this. From our buddy Rob who listens in San Antonio, to our buddy, our friend Bri, who lives in Vegas. Think of anyone you know that's a Steelers fan. Is anyone really fired up about this? My guy, Joe Manganiella. Joe Mannion. Yeah. You know, my best friend Joe Manganiello, who he's probably pumped about it. He's a big Steelers fan, Joe Manganiello. But I think we both agree, Rich, and that's a nice thing that he's going to have a solid season. Go off, go off on a decent note and call it a day. Damn. By are you down with the same expectation? Like, yo, Maybe they win 10 games, maybe a playoff, you know, win maybe, who knows? Yeah. But I think that, I think that your point about the excitement is very interesting because we look at Pittsburgh and we just think of the great Steelers of the past and I just, as you guys were talking, I'm like, if you were a Pittsburgh based fan, would you rather meet Aaron Rodgers or Paul Skeens right now? Oh, and good question. Paul Skeens for sure. Yeah, I think so. I think that that's the case and it's not meant to be disrespectful to Aaron Rodgers, but I think most times the Steeler wins that argument. Right? You would think in history, no doubt. You know, really? So, yeah, so I think, I think that's an interesting part of it. But yeah, I don't think that there are expectations, especially in the AFC where, gosh, everybody seems to be really good except for maybe about three teams. And you know what, Dan Buyer, to back up your point, we've talked about some of the best selling jerseys we talk about every year though. They come out with lists. I would argue that I don't think you're going to see a crowd of number eight Rogers Steelers jerseys. I especially because it's the one year and it's not like he's this guy that you're like, oh my God, we got him. I don't think Steeler friends like, we got him. So I, I think you're just not gonna see a ton of Aaron Rodgers jerseys. I think there's a fatigue. I think it's a. Oh, cool. If he could make a run with our team, that's great. Wave your towel and call it a day. It's only a one year deal. Why would you buy a Rogers jersey? It's like unless you win the Super Bowl. Yeah, but you know what? People bought Tampa Bay Brady jerseys. He won a Super Bowl. He was there for a couple years. No, I know, but what I'm saying is when you buy a car in the last year of the model and you know they're making A new model the next year. You're not really that thrilled about it. They changed the headlights and the frame. We hadn't seen Brady in any other uniform. It was like his freedom from Belichick and the Patriots. Well, keep in mind this all makes sense. Like I said, no big surprise here. He's played 20 years in the league, signed a one year deal. He just got married. Don't you think he wants to live his life? He's successful in broadcasting. There's another future out there for him. I'm not surprised at all. We wish him the best and he's going to have a solid season and he deserves that after the crappy had to deal with in New York. So props to him. We say all that respectfully, not rooting against him, but this is not a big surprise. Don in Kansas, you are caller number one of the day. What's up, buddy? Hey, Don. Hey. You know, I, I, I'm a Chiefs fan, so I understand fatigue. You know, we, we get it. But Aaron Rodgers, he's had the spotlight for a long time. The last couple years, he's tried to do everything he can to get the spotlight, delaying his decisions. And all of this, I think, you know, I tell you, like, I've had it, you know, I don't think anybody, I don't even think Mike Tomlin's excited they have him anymore. He's not gotten there early enough to, to build bonds with anybody or to put in a new offense or anything like that. I think they're like, yeah, we kind of do what we have to do this because this is kind of what we had planned. But yeah, I mean, I think he's run his course. Give him his Harley on his farewell tour and let him retire. So exactly. This is exactly it. We're getting exactly what we should have expected. This whole story is nothing but an announcement, or as I'm calling it, a nothing burger with cheese, no ketchup. So Dan could have some. Do we do cheese? Not really. I don't like to mix a lot of stuff. I like cheese as it is, but in mashed potatoes. You know, throw some cheddar in there. Absolutely. But not on my hamburger. Okay, so just a plain nothing burger. Plain burger. Let's talk to Dan and Casey. Your reaction to the announcement. What's up, buddy? Dan, what's your reaction? Hey, buddy. Well, I just want to know, Rich, just compared to sex life to the walking dead, was he only slept with dead woman? Have I compared my. What did he say? You compared your sex life to The Walking Dead. He said he asked if you've been intimate with the deceased. Sick burn. That's weird you put that caller through. He didn't tell me he was gonna say that. What a weirdo. He said something. I got something to say about the Walking Dead. Not only did Sam not dump it, he followed up and clarified the comments which I. He was curious about necrophilia. I cleaned it up a little. I said, you want in on the Rogers conversation? He said, yeah, I have a comment about that Walking Dead. Oh, you guys trying to say remarks? There was some hot zombies. There was some hot zombies. And are they really dead? Why are you guys thinking they're walkers? So answer this question, though. Are we all. Are we all high on Russell Wilson and Justin Fields? And I bring that up because Justin Fields going to the Jets. No one's really, you know, maybe there's a little excitement like, oh, we'll see what he could do. Russ. People are just waiting for him to hand the torch over to Jackson Dart. So those two guys together 110 games and the Steelers got to the playoffs in a really competitive afc. If the combo of Fields and rusted it, like why we sell like, well, we'll see what he could do. I think Aaron Rodgers is better than those two. No one's debating that or denying that. And they got some weapons. They got DK Metcalfe. He's going to have a solid season. I think a success would be making the playoffs as a great chance to do that. 9, 10, 10 gain 10 games probably. And that would be great. And that's how you end the career. I think I'm going to take. I think I'm going to take the fun take that no one's taking, which is. I think they might shock you a little bit. What if they click? Crazier things have happened. We're making a team. Clicking what? Clicking what? Can we be realistic? Let's be real. Let's be real like Cypress Hill. Let's be real. You think they're going to go all the way? No, I'm saying what if they win? Dude, 1012 games. C bow right now. Here's the other thing. S Y B A U S In the past when we've seen greats retire. Dr. J. I think we remember in the 80s when Kareem did. There was always when you would go to that town for the last time, you would get a gift or an item from that team. Think even a baseball when it was just AL and NL interleague. It's tougher to do now because maybe you're not in every park every year, but it's the same thing with the NFL. Like Aaron Rodgers isn't going to be visiting all 31 teams. So there's really no farewell tour. I don't remember a lot of farewell tours of the National Football League. And some people announce it. People think like LeBron is going to. So he gets that shine in each city on his final tour. But this is a little unheard of. It's. It's going to be. I think. You know what? While I said our interest levels low, I'm going to root for it because I feel like it'll be a great storyline if he does. Surprise. Same because everyone's assuming. Everyone's assuming. Not bad, but not great. Everyone assumes. This is a placeholder. 9 and 8, another typical like Steelers are good but not good enough situation. Exactly. Let's get one more phone call and wrap this up. Let's go to San Diego and say hi to Cruz. What's up, Cruz? Hey, Cruz, what's going. Hey, life's a risk. How you doing? This is. Hey, what's going on, guys? Hey. So, yeah, you know what, announcing it early, I don't think it really. Psychologically, I don't know how it helps the team. I mean, I think, you know, moral, you know, like, does it inspire or you know, the team that move forward when, you know, you're kind of, you know, you got this one last run with a quarterback that's new to the. Yeah, you know what? Because if it was. If. Cruz, great point. If. All right, so if Aaron Rodgers was in season 20 with the packers, it's like one more year. Do it for Aaron. His last hurrah. This is your last hurrah with a bunch of new guys. You don't know. It's sort of like a weird mix. Right. I do like his point though. How do you think his teammates feel about knowing that he's only there for a year? Well, we know some of them there's no future with. Some of them weren't interested in him joining the team at all, remember? Yeah. You know what it reminds me of? Terry Bradshaw. You know what it reminds me of? Like they're free starting free safety. This is a little bit of a. This is a little bit of a stretch of an analogy. But it won't get any necrophilia calls. Do you know when like the relatively new person at work quits or leaves and they do this long ass email and half the time I don't know that guy. Half the time you're like, who? Who's this guy? This is Jessica in marketing, and I just want to talk about my time here at iheart was. I've met so many people and you're. Oh, she's leaving. Good luck. But, like, I like you'd have no now if the person. Yeah, now if Big Mike. I don't want. I want him to be here forever. But let's say Big Mike gave it for yourself. Gave a resignation. Let's say Big Mike was like, guys, after 30 years, I'm leaving. You'd be like, oh, man, that's touching. No one cares about Jessica, who's been here for two years. You think there's no sentimental attachment? I'll never forget the summer. 130 years, actually. Sorry. I'll never forget my first day in the summer of 2023 when I walked through the I heart do. Yeah. I'm holding on and I'm gonna miss everyone. Yes. Happens all the time, by the way. Right, Right. So that's our side of it. Rich and I surprisingly agree pretty much on most things that have to do with it. It was a big announcement, but it's an obvious announcement and we're moving on. We have other things to get to. Well, speaking of being the problem. Right. There's a got a problem. There's a team that could very well get a lot of fingers pointed at them in the NFL. So we're going to keep the NFL ball rolling a little bit. Some NFL talk. And it has to do with a quarterback on a new team, not Crazy Rogers, how NBA is over and we're immediately wearing our football helmets. You sure you don't want to talk about how bad your Mets have been lately? I think I rather not talk about their 1 in 9 stretch over the last 10 and how the Atlanta Braves whoop their ass continuously. I think. I don't want to talk about that. I'm just kidding. But I'm sure I'm so happy, to be honest, that your Yankees aren't much better because otherwise you'd be way ahead of me in our bet. They're terrible. They were like neck and neck because they're both stinking like Abe Lincoln. Lady, me want to barf. So, yeah, stinky people were in the 1800s. We'll talk more NFL. This has to do with the Colts and your feedback and phone calls. We get some more Covino and Rich. And last one standing, a very special Tuesday edition giving away prizes right here on Fox Sports Radio. I know a lot of cops. And they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution.

Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind a movie pass, black founder, Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the challenges of being a black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me, and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are no girls on the Internet, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This Pride Month, we are not just celebrating, we're fighting back. I'm George M. Johnson, and my book All Boys Aren't Blue was just named the most banned book in America. If the culture wars have taught me anything, it's that pride is protest.

You need people being like, no, you're not going to tell us what to do. This regime is coming down on us, and I don't want to just survive. I want to thrive. You'll hear from trailblazers like Bob the Drag Queen to freedom Angelica Ross. We ready to fight. I'm ready to fight. And Gabrielle Union. Hi, George. And storytellers with wisdom to spare. Listen. On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. One more time, one more year for Aaron Rodgers. We got Iowa Sam on the ones and twos. I hate to say it's a CNR Tuesday party. Why? What'd it do to you? Someone gave you a wedgie while it was playing one day. If you grew up on the East Coast. I hate that song. In the late 90s, early 2000s, this is like. This is like the Yankees. One more time. Oh. Oh, God, it's gross. I love daft punk, but 98, 99, 2000, when the Yankees were dominating, every local radio station I hate would play this song and it would be about the Yankees. They had a Yankee remix. Like, they would have stupid clips of Jeter and Passata and those. Why don't you cry about it? I wanted to. Sports, baby. That's Rich Davis. I'm Covino. Danny G's on the phones at 87799 on Fox. Save that number because it's your chance to win a Swiggy when we play a special Tuesday edition of Last One Standing. The Swiggy with the Swaggy. The coveted Swiggy. We only have, like a handful left because we gave so many away at our party in Vegas. Right now we're live from Fox Sports Radio studio in la. Are you ready for a new job? Let Express employment professionals help. While Express helps people in all industries find work, our sweet spot is logistics roles. And Express never charges job seekers a fee. Go to expresspros.com yeah, buddy. While you're there, Covino and Rich for sure may check out all the stuff. We're gonna start posting some great videos and pictures from this past weekend in Vegas. So we're gonna start planning some new events before you know it because we had such a great time. Our biggest event ever this past weekend in Vegas. Word on the streets on the down low, we might be taking a show to Hotlanta, doing a live broadcast from Magic City. All right, maybe not Magic City, but the All Star Game will be out there, maybe potentially allegedly giving away more prizes. Magic City is where you're going to be doing the lemon pepper wing challenge, right? Yeah. Magic City is not a magic show. Meet up with Rob Parker. It's a gentleman's establishment. That's what you asked for. The Rob Parker special, right? When you go there, he's got a booth there. That's right. Again, I'm Cavino. That is Dicky Lovelady Davis. Spotty's here. DB's got your update in a few minutes. And I know you want to continue with the NFL, Rich? I do. BA Is over. Hold on. You brought up Dickie Lovelady, which, by the way, is a new pitcher in the Mets bullpen. I thought that was your new nickname. Richard Lovelady said he wants to be called Dickie, so he's Dicky Lovelady. And you remember recently you said to me, my Mets lack that hawk to a girl grimace fun vibe they did last year. Yeah, Juan Soto ruined that for you guys. Could Dickie Love lady be like, step one of the Mets getting a vibe again? Maybe. I don't know. What if he's. If he's awesome? But, yeah, I do want to talk a little more NFL, because here's the rumor, and I heard this rumor not from the janitor and Billy Madison. That guy's terrible. Who, old sideburns? Yeah. Ms. Lippy's car is green. No, I actually saw, like, a legit rumor. Danny G. Sent it. This is about Daniel Jones via the athletic, right? A legitimate source. Again, not old sideburns. Here's the rumor. Colts quarterback Daniel. You call him Dr. Jones, has taken a significant lead over Anthony Richardson in the QB1 battle in Indianapolis. Daniel Jones, QB1 for right now, the cold sign, the ex Giant Viking QB and free agency to challenge Richardson. And it appears as though, as of now, he's taken a significant lead. There's people that thought he had the tools all along. So here's my question. If Daniel Jones, he had the tools, just not the team. And bingo, was his name up. If. If. Now Daniel Jones is looking like that top draft pick, $40 million guy they thought he was. And he looks like he's outperforming Anthony Richardson, who is a hell of an athlete. And you saw Saquon Barkley change teams and all of a sudden go from, oh, man, Saquon. See? Not living up to full potential. Is he being wasted in New York? Goes to Philadelphia, you know, rushing like a maniac, winning a Super Bowl. Could it be? We've seen this with plenty of quarterbacks in the past years. Geno Smith reinvented himself. Baker Mayfield reinvented himself. Just add him to the list of guys that could turn it all around. Just look at the Giants as the problemo. Yes. Just some clarification with that report. Anthony Richardson is dealing with a shoulder issue that they don't know how serious he is. So he didn't take part in minicamp and hasn't been doing stuff. So Daniel Jones took all of the reps in minicamp. They said it's an open competition. But Richardson hasn't done anything to really be able to compete, which would put Daniel Jones ahead of him at that point. So it's not like he's losing it. It's sort of by default. Yes, in essence. But it's still a big enough news that they were opening up the quarterbacking competition and they did this in January. But now if Richardson's not even available to be at mandatory minicamp because of a shoulder issue and they don't know if he's going to be ready for training camp or not, it does lend that Daniel Jones may be getting the job by default. And if he wasn't turning heads, they would say things to the effect probably of Daniel Jones. A quality placeholder until Richardson gets healthy, sure. But the fact that he's, you know, really seems to be showing people significant lead would imply that it seems like it's his job to lose at this point. Listen, he's looking good in camp. A star young quarterback like, all right, if Jaden Daniels unfortunately was sidelined and whoever the backup for Washington is right now, who, by the way, who is the backup for Washington? It's a good question. Got to get back in NFL zone. If the backup for the commanders right now they were saying like, oh, he's taking the lead. You'd be like, no way he's taking the lead. Janet Daniels is their quarterback. The fact that Anthony Richardson, you know, there's even a competition just shows that Daniel Jones is turning heads. Marcus Mario thought so. Damn. I was going to say, but I didn't want to look foolish. What do I. I never had a problem with that before. Mariota, I mean, good backup. But if again, if Jaden Daniels was banged up, you wouldn't say Mariota has taken a lead. So it just shows you that Daniel Jones, could it be the Giants just never use this guy the right way. We always say a change of scenery could work wonders not only in the NFL and professional sports, but in life. You may be a chump wherever you are right now, but you're the man somewhere else. Except a lot of people aren't willing to take that risk. And life's a risk. Garnell. Yo, man. Even in our career in our industry, you feel like you hit a dead end sometimes. You explored every avenue to be the man and it just wasn't happening. You go somewhere else, everyone's treating you like a king. It's the old go to college, you become a new person. Right. I just watched that Call Her Daddy documentary on Hulu and Alex Cooper for being the hundred plus million dollar, call her daddy number one female podcaster in the world. She was like a picked on kid in high school, bullied and you know, went to college and became like the hot soccer star that everyone loved. And now she's, you know, selling out arenas, doing her podcast and live show. So, you know, change of scenery means everything. So Daniel Jones gets to erase sort of that giant stigma and he has a new start in Indianapolis. And he always was a decent, in my opinion, talented quarterback. He had some wheels, he had flashes. But Covino, I mean, you can't put it all on the Giants, right? He threw 47 interceptions while he was with New York. That's a lot. That is a lot. But I also thought he was never the same after that weird breakaway run he had where he was full on sprinting and was moving too fast for his own body and fell his head stuck in his head. Yeah, that was like his butt fumble. He's had the yips ever since. He was never the same after that promise. That was his. That was in his head. That was his butt fumble. And I think it's a new start for him. He's a new man in Indianapolis, so I'm rooting for the guy again. I always thought he was better than the record and the turnovers reflected again that there's an asterisk as, as Dan Byer said, because Richardson's not 100% available. But the fact that Daniel Jones is turning heads just makes you say, man, did the Giants not utilize Saquon the right way. Kai goes on to become a MVP candidate dominating, wins a Super bowl. And now Daniel Jones is competing with someone they, you would assume would have had the number one job easy, healthy or not. Right. What we're saying here is this is a classic example of it's not me, it's you. Yeah, the you being the Giants and such is life. Sometimes you're in a relationship, whether it be at work or with a significant other, and it's just a struggle. And then you move on and you realize, wow, this is a lot easier and a lot better than the previous situation. You know, someone hit us up. Not me. Which proves it's not me, it's you. Someone hit us up yesterday, one of our old co workers and a really nice message saying how they like, they love to see how at Fox Sports Radio we're getting the love and the support that we deserve. Saying like, so, you know, maybe other places, other places didn't get us. Other places didn't get us the way our bosses here know how to market us the right way. Yeah. So, I mean, it's all. Well, his Spanish needed to be better. That's right. It's all in the fit. It's all in the fit. And you know, good luck to Daniel Jones. Before the show, Rich, we were talking about that picture you were in. What was it for? Oh, it was a big ESPN deport. This photo and it's, it's all the Latino broadcasters for ESPN and, and me and, and Rich. Yeah, it's all Ricardo. Yeah. And Rich is so funny. Let's go to my pal and yours, Dan, by for an update. DB what's going on today, man? Does Aaron Rodgers telling the Pat McAfee show this is likely his final season in the N. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it. You know, that's why we just did a one year deal. You know, this was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I've had. In other NFL news and a judgment that ultimately sided with the NFL on collusion grievances, arbitrator Christopher Droney did admit that NFL ownership colluded at a meeting in March of 2022 to limit the value of guarantees in veteran contracts. The documents were unveiled by Pablo Torre on the Pablo Finds out podcast and showed that the NFL's management encourage teams to reduce guarantees. Just five days after Deshaun Watson signed a fully guaranteed deal with the Cleveland Browns, Buccaneers will wear their Creamsicle throwback uniforms Week 15 Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Oklahoma City Thunder celebrated their NBA title today with a parade and rally of the city. The Minnesota Timberwolves are in the news. Not only was one of their assistants Mike and Norrie interviewing for the Knicks job, the league today unanimously approved the sale of the team to Mark Loren Alex Rodriguez. The final sale expected to be finalized later this week. And a trade in the NBA Pelicans sent guard CJ McCollum, Kelly Olenek and a future second round pick to the Wizards for Jordan Poole, Sadiq bay and the 40th overall pick later in this week's NBA draft. Couple of baseball notes. Rangers pitcher Cody Bradford's going to need elbow surgery. He'll miss the rest of the season. Diamondbacks place Corbin Carroll on the injured list with a chip fracture in his left wrist. And the White Sox, who are playing the Diamondbacks in a series on the Chicago on Chicago south side, signed pitcher Noah Syndergaard to a minor league deal. Guys, back to you. Oh W. Thor himself. Yeah. And by the way. Speaking of comebacks, a lot of people are rumbling and speculating whether or not the Mets should bring Grimace back. It's so funny because I brought up a minute ago and on MLB TV and another network that a lot of people are like, the Mets are cold right now. What happened last year when they were called Grimace throughout the first pitch and everything changed. So I heard Juan Soto hates Grimace and that's why he's more of a Burger King guy. Oh man, there you go blaming my dude Juan Soto again. I don't like Grimace. I could be he well, hey, we got more Covino and Rich and let's go Grimace. Let's go Mets. More next right here on Fox Sports Radio. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the challenges of being a black Founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me, and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created. There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. Us. So listen to There are no girls on the Internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This Pride Month, we are not just celebrating, we're fighting back. I'm George M. Johnson, and my book All Boys Aren't Blue was just named the most banned book in America. If the culture wars have taught me anything, it's that pride is protest. And on my podcast, Fighting Words, we talk to people who use their voices to resist, disrupt, and make our community stronger. This year, we are showing up and showing out. You need people being like, no, you're not going to tell us what to do. This regime is coming down on us, and I don't want to just survive. I want to thrive. You'll hear from trailblazers like Bob the Drag Queen to freedom Angelica Ross. We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. And Gabrielle Union. Hi, George. And storytellers with wisdom to spare. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. One of my favorite songs ever. Daniel Jones and me gonna be big stars, bro. Still a discrepancy about the first lyric of that song, Caught up in Rio. Is it Caught up in Rio or Cut Up Maria? Why in the world would it be cut up Maria? Because I always thought it was caught up in rainbow. That doesn't make it right up, and I think it might. Just because you're a bozo doesn't mean that's the lyric. Cut up Maria. I don't even like that corny band. I stopped Counting Crows after number one. I Stopped Counting Crows is fantastic. I give them two thumbs down. Rain King is one of the best songs. Washington Square. Do you not have, like, nice chill music in your playlist? Yeah, and they're not part of it. Is it all, like, lame rock from the 90s? Hanging around is a good song. Counting Crows. At least I went from the first rejoin song Rich hated, and then he loved the second one, so I'm making sure. Oh, I'm not blaming Sam. We were talking about Daniel Jones. It's a great pick. Yeah, I'm just not a big Counting Crows guy. Keep it topical. What? The County Crows. They're boring. They don't rock. And that's why I don't like they don't rock. Adam Durrett's got a lot of tail in his day. I give him props for that. He's a great musician, but his songs stink. We're Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, and it's time. You like, by the way, for our time. Not you, because you keep interrupting me. Who do you like? Good things. I have what they call taste. You have nace. Do you know what nace is? No taste. This guy was talking about how he wants Creed to do the super bowl halftime show. You're talking about taste. You know how the Tin man was born without heart, Rich was born without taste. Yeah, you're the scarecrow. No. No adjustments needed. Okay, time for our tire rack play of the day. The Nationals young outfielder, James Wood stays hot with his bat. The kick in the one. Oh. Wood drives one deep right field. It's hooking toward the corner. Will it stay fair? It has hits the foul pole. It's a home run. James Wood bangs it off the foul pole for a three run shot. The Nationals blow it wide open as they lead it 9 to 3. James Wood with the good Wood. Danny G. Just likes picking any highlight that takes down the Padres. Right, Danny. There wasn't much to choose from yesterday, to be honest with you. Slow day. That's what's in. That's what's in. Washington beat the Padres 10 6, courtesy of the Nationals radio network. And that was our tyre play of the day. 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. Tirerack.com the way tire buying should be. All right already. All right, now we are, what, like, 48 hours removed from OKC winning a game seven. That's. Ratings were deceptively good. And I say that because you said the highest NBA finals game in a handful of years, but there was also the only Game seven. Yeah. I had the casual viewers tuning in. We had had a Game 7 since Cleveland and Golden State. Yeah. So when it's when you're saying, well, the ratings were all right. Yeah. It was the first Game 7 in almost a decade, so I expected that, you know, a bummer. Halliburton goes down. We did criticize OKC quite a bit yesterday. I'm not taking it back. There's an update, though. We talked about their celebration at the end of the game and how lackluster it was. It seemed like a lot of high fives and, like, mild bro hugs. Like, the way you would. There could be a pickup game at the 24 Hour Fitness and it ends the same way. Yay. That's the truth. I like how Rich said in his softball on a Tuesday night, the guys are just as hyped when they win a close game there. There's guys that I play with that are hyped for grown men's softball. If you were bowling on Ventura and your Buddy, you know, hit couple strikes in a row, a turkey. You show him more excitement, like. Yeah, like they were. They were at a Counting Crows concert. That level. That level of excitement. And well done. And there's an update to that story. I don't think the update makes anything better, though. No. Well, at least there's a reason, you know, as to why the celebration just seemed kind of lame. So just based on that, we're gonna explain what it is. We want you to start thinking about things that people expect you to know how to do, but you just don't know how to do it. So this is your confession, and Father Danny G. Is gonna either forgive you or not, because we all have things that we should know, but we don't know. Talking about all my kids again? No, no. Danny G. One of those good priests, I hope. I'm just. We're gonna. Oh, they're confessing to me on the studio line. Yeah. Because I'll give you one. Both Rich and I. I don't know how to change our own oil. That doesn't mean we're incapable of figuring it out, but we've never done it. A lot of people nowadays don't do that. Yeah. And people always, you know, when you're talking to a giant nation of listeners, they're like, you don't know how to do it. Take back your main card. Lame. Oh, yeah. There are things that I think we all need to admit now I don't know how to do because I'll throw it out there. And we'll discuss next. Most of the members of the Oklahoma City Thunder did not know how to open a bottle of champagne. They should be embarrassed. I know a lot of cops. They get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. This is Absolute Season one, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there, and it's bad.
