Hope you had a happy first official weekend of the summer. And you know what I'm realizing? Hey, I wasn't done talking, man. It's a bow. Shut your ass up. Okay, so bow. Just kidding. I was going to say get through this week. You need to. You need to do that so your voice can heal. I know. Yeah, man. Let me sabo next week's Fourth of July. Just like that. That snuck up on us. So get through this week. You might have a couple days off from work next week. So as we get closer to also the baseball all star break. And rumor is we may be doing some fun stuff in Atlanta. So hang tight. Maybe we'll meet you out there, do a little party and we'll be doing the Dan Patrick show leading into the holiday. You're gonna be doing a lot of DP fill ins coming up in the month of July. So we'll let you know when we always. It's an honor to fill in for Dan Patrick here on the network now. Wnba, not a hater at all. In fact, as you said, I'm a girl dad. Which is like, you know that automatically makes you a good guy, right? Not a hater, a congratulator. No, but I listen, I coach girls softball. I'm not, I'm not some anti what a guy show off women's sports. You a massage therapist? So let me explain. And you interviewed lots of women before you met your wife. Dude, I have interviewed so many women before I met my wife. You know what? In fact, those were first dates that didn't turn into women he's only dated. I mean, I love him. He's married to a woman. I mean, it's so. It's crazy. I mean, there's nothing. No, no hating here. All I'm saying is that the WNBA I've never seen, but then again, maybe I've have some dumb friends in my life. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen someone or something get in their own way more than the wnba. Like someone, man or woman, being given an opportunity. You keep getting in your way. I think we've all worked with someone like that. Like the. The boss likes it. Your path is great. And they f up like tripping on their own shoelaces. I feel like the WNBA someone needs to tie their shoes because they keep tripping over their own feet. Whether it's, you know, not embracing Caitlin Clark, making it seem like the fighting on the court isn't secretly a good thing. Pushing aside rivalries, making things about race when they shouldn't be about race. It should be about the. It started with all the money stuff and, you know, making silly arguments as to why the money should be more. Everything about the WNBA is getting in its own way. And I just saw one other clip to explain why I feel this way. Kelsey Plumb. Super talented athlete, one of the faces of the league. Attractive, cool. Everyone likes Kelsey Plum. She's greeted by people wanting her autograph. Take a listen. The bus was right here. Don't y' all find that kind of weird? Low key? Like, low key? Come on. A little, but. Oh, good. I'm really turned off right now. I'm just a fan, though. I know. I appreciate that. You sign one, you put my name on it, I'll sign one. Okay. Can I get you on that one? Keep going with this year. Appreciate that. That she pulls. Not even clocking to you, by the way, he's holding a plastic sheet of her basketball cards, and I'm standing on business. She's. She's calling him low key weird and saying that he's creepy for wanting an autograph. I think she's high key, misreading the situation. What's the big deal? You have fans. That comes with the territory. She wasn't being stalked in a weird mike. I think it's wild to think that if someone was seeking out autographs and pictures of a WNBA star, isn't that just showing that, oh, wow, maybe the WNBA is headed in the right direction that people care to make this. I highly doubt it's her first autograph, bro. I Think autograph seekers are honestly some of the lamest losers on planet Earth. If you're a grown man seeking autographs outside a hotel, outside of tour bus, outside a player's bus, adults that want autographs are weenies to the highest degree. But the fact that she. Well, selfies have replaced the autograph, but in this case, they wanted it signed. But the simple fact that she is in a position where people want this stuff from her, she should almost embrace. I just think maybe, hey, look, there's two ways to look at it. We could never know what celebrity superstars and athletes go through. Right. We saw, and I quoted the famous Justin Bieber thing recently. But let's be real. She's not Justin Bieber, dude. Right. She's not dealing with that kind of paparazzi and celebrity. And you could also say there's a graceful way to back out of these situations. Right. Like, making that guy feel like he was weird is also not the best way possible. I think they're all. I think it sounded a little rude. I think it's all weirdo behavior. But, I mean, I don't think you're necessarily a weirdo for wanting an autograph. Maybe it was for a kid. I don't know. I don't know the backstory here. Our buddy Michael. Yo. Hit us up. And he's like, they do that with. With comedians, with acts in Vegas. Like, he's like, they'll come up to you, be like, sign all this stuff just because they want to resell it and they're trying to make a buck. And again, I think it's like, it's like paparazzi and those type of people, I think is gross. I don't like that. That's why we were discussing before the show, Aaron Judge's rule. Yeah. When he was here in Southern California last year for the World Series, he told one of Ben Maller's listeners who asked for an autograph at the hotel, he's like, nope, sorry. I only saw Autograph for kids. But isn't that a more polished, PR friendly way of saying, I wasn't against you, dude. I know you're going to go take this and sell it. The problem with that is that these people who resell the autographs, they get kids to do their dirty work for them. They'll hire kids to go get those autographs. That is true. Yeah. There's always a scam. And by the way, there's a follow up on this Kelsey Plum thing. In that video, one of the guys standing there wanting an autograph they found out from researching is one of those guys who resells these autographs. But regardless, people are still saying, hey, it doesn't matter, just go ahead and sign it. You're making money off of a kid's game. These guys want autographs. Just do the signature really quick and move on. That's at least most of the fans thoughts in the comments. And that means that your, your autograph and your signed memorabilia is worth something. If one of those weird dudes is hanging around trying to get your autograph to resell, it means it actually has some value. That's my, my point is, I, I'm, I never in a million years think being one of those autograph seekers is cool. I'm just saying that wnba, now stop getting in your own way. There's signs that people care and you're still like doing, you're stepping on your own feet. You're not used. You lean into that. You know as much as you can for the good press, not the bad press. Because this is why we're all speculating today. Like, yeah, she was kind of mean about that. How many years though did we hear that they wanted to be treated like one of the major sports, that they wanted that same respect. And Iowa Sam is right when he says they're not used to it. You better get used to it because of all these eyeballs that you know who from the Fever has put on your game right now. Are we looking at it in a sexist way, though? You know how women say, you know, if women shows confidence, it's just misinterpreted as we're being a bee. If a, if a male athlete did this, would we have been like, yeah, good for that guy. Tell him to beat it. Now that she's doing it, we're like, look at the attitude that she has because Bieber recently went off of the paparazzi. And people I think were like, yeah, but let's say you were a C level NBA guy and we, you know, no, no, no. We gave LeBron a hard time at the Olympics when he pulled one of these moves on that kid, remember? But don't you think some women may spin it that way? If it was a guy, we'd be giving him a high five for telling them to beat it. But because it's a woman, I guarantee you we'll hear that, I guarantee you we'll hear that from somebody. But because the woman, oh, she, she's got an attitude problem because she told him that he's being weird, you know, What? I think we get ended there. I just thought it was. I thought it was just another little microcosm. Another. Can I hear it one more time, though, just to really, like, dissect it. So again, this is Kelsey Plum, WNBA star, telling some guy that she's low key. Yeah, she plays for the LA Sparks. He's telling his autograph seeker that he's low key, being kind of weird. The bus was right here. Don't y' all find that kind of weird? Low key? Like, low key? Come on. A little, but. Okay. I'm really turned off right now. I'm just a fan, though. I know. I appreciate that. You sign one, you put my name on it. I sign one. Can I get you on that one? Keep going. Right now I'm really turned off. Is he ugly? Maybe there's a nicer way to say it, right? Especially when you're looking for good press. Lean into the fun side of the wnba. You're trying to sell a league here. I get what Rich is saying. Your thoughts, 877-99 on Fox. Just don't get in your own way, that's all. I feel like everything the. The WNBA has had an opportunity to do that. Just feel like there must be someone of power thinking, like, why do we keep stepping again on our own shoelaces and tripping? Like, just being even. Be nice to losers. Honestly, Danny, isn't that sort of, you know, be nice to losers was part of the equation? When you're a celebrity or someone of note, you don't think LeBron James and Nice to losers. It's in the handbook, I think. Well, you. You have to have a lot of patience. I. One thing I said in the pre show meeting, there's some pro athletes who could never do what you guys just did this past week, which was mingle with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that love what you do for a living. And you guys not only have patience and enjoy doing it, but, I mean, you're having these many conversations with all these different people. We've seen athletes who won't bother to spend any time, even a little bit of time with one fan. I think if you want to be anyone of note in the handbook, there's gotta be a chapter. It's like, be nice to losers. A little gracious at the same time. Imagine you're Shohei Otani or your Aaron Judge or your. Your Joe Burrow. You're. You're Patrick Mahomes, your Travis Kelsey. You. You gotta be nice to the fans, perhaps even if they're like weird fans, dude before and knows what the scammer is. I mean, you gotta keep that in the conversation too, to be fair. So your thoughts? 877-99-FOX. And keep that number in your phone because we're gonna be playing some Shaq dies and we need contestants for that. All right, so if you want in 87799 on Fox, we're going to do that. That's the last time Shaq is going to be with us for the until next NBA season. Oh, my goodness. So I hope Shaq's ready. Something I want to throw out there as well. We're talking about the wnba, a league that needs no help. The NFL. The NFL. Now that the NBA and the NHL are done, unless you're a super big baseball fan like we are. I feel like everyone immediately right now, your attention goes right to, all right, where. When's football starting? You're probably planning out your Fourth of July plans. And the minute the Fourth of July is over, it's sort of like a countdown to the NFL because you after the fourth of July, it's like T minus a month. And here we are. And they've already hinted at who the super bowl halftime show could be and what's cool about it. I don't think anyone would argue this, but he's the guy that. Isn't he in charge of picking? Yes, he is the act. Yeah. Jay Z. What do you think about Jay Z if he did the super bowl halftime show? I think it's weak. It's in the Bay Area, right? The super bowl makes his way back to the Santa Clara. Santa Clara. I'm just hating. I know the headline says Internet in a frenzy over rumors of Jay z possibly headlining 2026. I mean, I like Jay Z for sure. I like a lot of. I mean, who doesn't like Jay Z? Of course I like Jay Z. I think what makes it a fun halftime show, though, is he'd be filling the stage up with a ton of special guests for sure. Including his wife. Including his wife. So we're going to get a bunch of superstars on the same stage. So therefore it probably will be great. But my first initial reaction is, ah, man. Yeah. All right. But again, maybe, again, maybe it's Monday vibes. As a hip hop, big hip hop follower and fan, obviously I'm not a follower anymore because I love old school hip hop, so classic hip hop. I'll say that we've seen enough hip hop. And I love Kendrick Lamar. He's great. And we argued about that last year when it was announced he was going to headline the super bowl at halftime, it should have been a rock or it should be. If they haven't decided all the way yet, it should be a rock act this year. That's what I would do. And I'm a hip hop guy. And I'll still say, let's spread the wealth around and go to another format and then do Jay Z the following year. Yeah, I think it really is a matter of rotating musical taste. Yeah, right. And my first thought was like, what are Jay Z's anthems? And New York is the one. New York State of Mind is the one that comes to mind for me. Empire State of Mind. Empire State of Mind. And that doesn't translate into In California. And Alicia Keys did her stuff recently. If there's one year Metallica makes the most sense, it is 2026. They're from the area. Or you could say Green Day. You could say. Let's not say Green Day. You could say, I could totally be down with Green Day. We've been saying Metallica for years. They're currently on tour with Pantera. They have, you know, some new music out. I think it would have been great to have rock. And, you know, I'm not a big country fan or some very popular rocking country collaboration. I mean, if they, Metallica come out and then all of a sudden some younger crossover country guys, like a jelly roll or someone come out, like there's one of those hardy guys. We, we've, we've talked about what the possibilities could be. Just the fact that Jay Z was hinted. It's worth a quick conversation because as much as we all love Jay Z, I don't think anyone's going to say no to Jay Z. I just don't. I mean, the super bowl is not going back to New York, so keep that in mind. You're never going to see a Super bowl in New York again. But I just don't know if the Bay Area makes sense. By the way, big pimping nyc. What does that have to do with diddly squat for the Super Bowl? They've never, they've never decided to go with local flavor. I know face of it, the, the Dallas is. The Dallas one is the one that sticks out for me. I guess Houston could have been for the, for the same reason. But I think so many people wanted a country artist for that super bowl in Dallas. They just felt that it was, that was the way to go. And, and that was Black Eyed Peas. Yeah. And then, you know, last year as much as people did love or hate Kendrick Lamar, the most watched one ever. That was the one when everyone said New Orleans. Like Lil Wayne, Come on. Like it makes sense. So you're right. Logic of Metallica makes sense. But has it ever made sense before? Don't forget, at Sofi, they did have the local. You know, they had. They had doctor. That's true. That's a good point. Snoop, you know, Eminem came in, but he's from obviously Detroit. Ever since the NFL and Roc Nation had an agreement, it's all been hip hop or R and B artists. Basically. That's what it's. That's what it's been. Yeah. So. But you thought the streak would end soon, especially with the criticism from last year too, because again, not questioning the star power of a Kendrick Lamar, we were questioning the catalog for super bowl halftime meaning anthems, you know, that. That a lot of people would know. So they're going for DiMaggio. They're going for 56 straight. That's pretty. But it's pretty obvious too, right? So that's how I feel. Am I a big Jay Z fan? Yes, I am, but I'm with Danny G. Why do you have Huey Lewis written down in your notes? Huey Lewis. Oh, here's the way. But you know what? If you want to throw a Huey Lewis, it would be like a best of the 80s. Yeah. 80s medley. An 80s medley. You bring some other classic people out there. It takes superstars journey. That would be too much. Like you could never get all the greatest 80s acts into one show. No, but you get a few of them are dead too. The rumor is Jay Z. What is his first reaction? We can do a hologram surprise. That was Rick James hologram. The dove climbing account. Is that right? Yeah, not. And not just him. It's. It's on several websites. But it's. Everybody is saying rumor because nobody knows this for sure right now. It's just what people are saying. If you told me it was a Jay Z and Metallica thing, that'd be super dope. Does it have to be rock? Does it have to be country? No, but it's cool to spread the love a little bit. Your rock guy. I am. Has Metallica professionally had any like even interaction with Jay Z, you think or no? I have no idea. You never. You DM James Hetfield right now. You do that and we'll get someone to play Shaq Diesel trivia. We'll do that next at 87799 on Fox. We only have a few swiggies I was just going to say we are down to the nitty gritty. There's like 10 swiggies. So there's no charity. Swiggy. No, you got to win. You got to win. But it's multiple choice, so your chances are good. All right, well, let's do that and we'll try to give away a swiggy if you guys win the number again. 87799 on Fox, some NBA trivia. We'll put a little, a little bow on this NBA season. We'll officially move on to the NFL. That's all coming up next right here. Fox Sports Radio with Kabino and Rich.

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.

And storytellers with wisdom to spare. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I know you could be anywhere in the world right now, and you're here with us. Appreciate that. I do want to make it clear that we were not hating on Jay Z by any means. We're from the East Coast. I'm from New York. Not that I need to justify, but I liked Jay Z when he was jazz's backup rapper, Hype Guy. I used to like Hawaiian Sophie Jazz with Jay Z. Like a young baby boy, Jay Z. So I've followed his whole career, and I. I admire the guy and I have all his albums, but it's like, really Jay Z now? Like, can we have someone else and mix it up a little bit? You also love Fat Joe, though, so. Nah, bro. Especially now with the news I'm hearing. Whoa, Those other rumors I'm hearing. Hey, we're going to play Shaq Diesel trivia in a second. I did want to say, I know you come to us for, you know, light sports, talking about the rim stuff and butt cheeks and all the stuff that you think of. Big Dumpers and athletes who are nicknamed Big Dumper. Yeah. I'm talking Cal, Raleigh, anything. I'm talking about more bumps. But there is major news in the world that is worthy just to mention. I mean, you don't come here for politics, but Israel and Iran have agreed on a complete and total ceasefire, which is huge news in the world. So it's not true. You just spread it all over the place on Fox News. It's on cnn. It's everywhere. Ceasefire. That's great news between. That is good news. Iran and Israel. So Iran, Iran. I keep saying Iran because when I was a kid, the iron cheek was from Iran. Iran and Iran, you're just a big flock of seagulls Rich loves. That's why Rich has that Flock of seagulls haircut. It's funny. All right. But, hey, big news. But, hey, let's get to something lighter. It's time for Shaq Diesel trivia. Let's go. Whenever we say not to name drop, that means we're about to name drop.

I'm giving you a chance. Troy. Jesus. Troy said A and he's right for the steal. Don't take your medicine like a man. Like Shaq Diesel the man. DV and Troy both on the board. Why'd Celine Dion have to catch us stray there, right? Yeah. Who listens to that garbage? My heart will go off. You probably want to see as you have time. All right, round three. I would. I would. Shaq. Yes. That would be great. You and Sam. That's it. All right, round three. Which player has the most career assist in NBA history? A, Jason. Kidding. B, John Stockton. Or C, Chris Paul? Troy. Troy for the win. John Stockton. Boom. And Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne. 806 assists. Paul is second. Kid is third on the list. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. By the way, can you show a little more excitement than OKC did last night, please? Well, hopefully that lifts your spirits after the Pacers couldn't get it done there in game seven. Troy, congrats. We're gonna mail out a C and R Swiggy to you. Hey, thank you. Thank you. Can I just say, the movie, Troy. Very underrated movie, Troy. I'm gonna go home. Watch it right now. He can use the Swiggy to drink his own tears. You ever see Brad Pitt and Troy? You ever see that? He looks pretty ripped in that movie. Pretty ripped. I'm gonna watch it. Thank you, Shaq. What a great, great basketball season. Good to be back. I had fun in Bahamas. Always have fun here. By the way, I love that Covino guy. He's my favorite. Yeah, we do. See you next season. Yeah, we'll see you next season, guys. Fooshniggins. Life. I agree. Foo Snicket should play super bowl halftime. That'll be huge. That'd be great. What everyone needs. Check. I mean, Kavino let's, you know what, we're going to get into some NFL, a random NFL story about the commanders. But you know, let's go get an update first. There she is, in for damn buyer. What's up, Bri? How are you? Bri, Bri, Bri, Bri. Oh my gosh. This is so exciting. My first ever update with you guys actually. Ever. Great. It's exciting for us too. Oh, wow. Thanks, guys. Okay, so kind of been talking about it all show, but Pacers guard Tyrese Halburn did sustain a right Achilles tendon tear during the first quarter in last night's NBA Finals game. He is undergoing surgery later today. Game seven did Drew did like draw about like 16.35 million viewers and was the most watched final game in six years. The last time that there was like a Game six that was watched like that much was the warriors and the Raptors like the Kawhi series. You guys remember that? Well, you know, when Dan Byer said that earlier, my thought was, well, there really, there hasn't been a Game 7 in the NBA Finals in so long. So while a lot of people did watch last night, you know, I, of course it's game seven. Yes, absolutely. Okay. So a new report from the Athletic shows that the Rockets are likely to decline. Red fan fleet's $44.9 million team option is. There is expectation the two sides will agree on a new multi year contract once free agency begins early next week. Kris Middlet is staying in Washington as he picks up his $33 million player option for next season in Major League Baseball All Star voting. Obviously, Aaron Judge remains the overall leaders with 2.69 million votes, while Shohei Ohtani is right behind him with 2.5 million votes. Jets owner Woody Johnson has agreed on a $254 million deal to buy a 43% stake in Premier League's soccer cup club, Crystal Palace. And in boxing, Max Kellerman is joining the broadcast team for the upcoming super middleweight championship Boxing. Canelo. Me too. That's why I wanted to tell you guys okay. Between Alvarez and Terence Crawford later this year. Wow, that's great. I'll be honest because we talked recently about how we missed Jim Lampley and I miss Max too. I feel like, no offense to the newer guys calling it, but those two names and two voices are great for boxing. It's great to have Max back. Official quote from Canelo. Thank you, Canelo. Thank you. Very, very happy to see him again. He's been out of the spotlight for two years since he Left espn. So that was really exciting. I thought he was done dirty. Max is the best in the game. He adds that credibility to the fight game that the fight game needs. He was great on radio, like, probably seven, eight years ago locally here. So it was really cool to see that news. So thank you, guys. Back to you. I gotta ask you because you're a. You're a Saints fan. Yes. And by the way, fun fact, I call her. There was a little kid that played on my Girl at my daughter's softball team, Briella. So I was like, bri, is that true for Briella? And you're like, no, but I still call you Briella for fun. I call her Bri Murrow with the update. Yes. I think I'll be Brie Murrow. Bri, you're a Saints fan. Yes. Don't remind me. Thank you. Over. Under five and a half wins this year. Oh, under. So you're not really. Last year you were so optimistic and I admired the optimism. Tyler Schuck is AARP bound. I really love Spencer Rattler. So if they really give him a shot and Chris Olave comes back, let's, like, make the last few years of Alvin Camara's career the best we can. But I just don't think. Help. I don't think it's possible. All right, well, hey, good to see you, Bri. Great job, Bri. Bri. Bri, everybody. Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happened and then everybody else want to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem? My oldest daughter her first day in ninth grade and I called to ask how I was going. She was like oh dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school and Slumflower. What turns me on is when a man sends me money. Like I feel the moisture between my legs. When a man sends me money, I'm like, oh, my God, it's go time. You actually sent it.

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 Protestant. 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I want to thank everyone for hanging out with us in Vegas. Our Friday show from Vegas. If you missed it, it's on the podcast. Got to check it out. Search Covino and Rich. Everyone that showed up, everyone that supported it partied with us. Thank you. If you wanted to go and couldn't make it, thank you and hang tight because we'll do more events coming soon. And I was talking to Shaq Diesel. Whack Diesel in the lobby. He said, rich, you better watch that show Power Moves on Netflix. You guys have been really talking that up. You know, you make me want to watch it. We're live from Fox Sports Radio studio. Covino and Rich, ready for a new job. A new job. Let Express employment pros help. While Express helps everyone in all industries find work, our sweet spot is logistic roles. And Express never charges seekers a fee. Go to expresspros.com Cavino Rich, Danny G. Sam. And a valiant effort by you today. You got through the entire two hours, even with laryngitis. I did. I did. You know what it was? It was from rocking so hard this weekend in Vegas, partying like a maniac. Hey, I even did some karaoke, mind you. You know. Yeah, you missed it. You didn't dig your heels in and say no. Organic energy that brought you to the microphone. I wish I didn't. No. I was sort of forced what song did you do? It was we have a band called Tickle Sack. You got to look it up. We heard of them five albums. We did a parody of She's Got the Look. It's called Spots Got the Look. So we did a parody song and the crowd went nuts. But I had a song in mind and you believe they didn't have it. So I did reluctantly go up there, but it was still worth it and awesome. But I did lose my voice. But we're here today, having fun again. We'll be posting videos tonight. I'll post the. A couple people recorded Kavino's karaoke. I was up there with him as one of his backup singers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So everything at Covino and rich and our YouTube page and of course, Fox Sports Radio. Now, before we talk about the commanders, Rich, some NFL news. The story about Casey Plum, LA Sparks. Kelsey Plum. I'm sorry, Kelsey Plum of the LA Sparks. It's ok. She should be happy you know her name, not shun fans. She was denying autographs and we speculated on it. Andy has one thing to say about Andy from Rhode Island. I mean, listen, she was denying autographs or like weenie autograph seekers, but still. What's up, Andy? Hey, guys, check it out. So on Father's Day, I was actually flying out to Vegas and right behind me was DeAndre Hopkins. And, you know, I was like, deaha, Best hands in the league. And, you know, he gave me a fist bump. Didn't fanboy him. And you know, I like that interaction because I feel like as a grown up, we should approach, you know, athletes in a different way because the way that they look at it, they, you know, they do the sport for the generations to come and for, you know, for us as adults, we have to, you know, kind of respect that boundary. And can I just quick, quickly add that I'm sad that I missed you guys by a day, But I will say that me and my fiance, we took an Uber to circa. I went by the poolside just to kind of just feel the energy, as if I was going to be there. And, man, it seemed like you guys had a great time. Dude, it was the best time. And, you know, we'll catch. We'll catch you next time, Andy. I'll say this. Thank you, Andy. What you did with Hopkins, perfect. Yeah, that's. You nailed that interaction. He. Yo, D Hop. Best hands in the league. Give him a fist bump call today. You, you had your moment. You didn't annoy him. You made him feel cool. You pro made him chuckle. Nice. How about Daniel tweeting in and reminding all of us that you're also the same person who snuck blurry pictures of Angelina Jolie? I mean, that is true. But you know what? The interaction we had, it was funny. Our buddy Mark because people kept, like, hovering near the table because Angelina Jolie was the next table. Our buddy Marcos. Here I thought, I look good tonight, and everyone was looking at me, but it's you. And she laughed, and I was like, dude, you nailed that quick interaction. It's a matter of not bothering a celebrity rap. He probably thought about that line for a good 20 minutes before he delivered it. That was a good one, though. You know what, cove? Before. Before we get to this commander's quick story, it's a real damn shame that Jalen Hurts isn't Canadian, because I just saw a wild stat. Every other championship MVP this year has been Canadian, NBA, NHL, and major league baseball. Freddie Freeman, Canadian. What? I thought he was from California. Canadian Freeman. And are you sure about that? Sam Bennett, Canadian isn't Freddie Freeman. I saw this meme, and everyone's double checking it. I mean, Sam, if it's on a meme, it has to be true. Hold on now. When you got me, isn't Freddie Freeman. There's such thing as fake memes. Yeah. Canadian American first baseman. It said he was born in Fountain Valley, California. Oh, yeah, it does say. It does say Canadian American. I don't. I don't know. Maybe he identifies as. As Canadian. He's a Canadian citizen. He was maybe born here. When he came from the Braves to the Dodgers, everyone was like, yeah, he's coming home, you know, SoCal. So I. I didn't know about the Canadian thing. But, hey, if you saw it on a meme, both his. Both his parents moved here, so he's a dual citizen. So he's Canadian. He inherited the citizenship. So Jalen Hurts, the only championship MVP that's not Canadian this year. So what's up, Canada? A thank you for cheesies, Jim Carrey, and all the rest. Jalen Hurts loves Canada Dry, though. So is that perfect? It's his favorite ginger ale. Staying in that division, staying in the NFC east, which, by the way, should be really fun this year because I'm not saying the Giants are competitive, but they got better, right? And we'll see what Russ does and the excitement of Jackson Dart and if he'll get any playing time. Hold on, dude. I'm still taking off my NBA hat. You're already on the NFL. Yeah, I'm not Ready for all this. Giants just by nature, get more exciting. Sure. Washington will they bring that same, you know, energy. They made it to the NFC Championship game last year. They're electric. Daniels is legit leader going on. No doubt. Like I just said, Jalen hurts. You're defending super bowl champions and then you got the Cowboys, who every year, did they get it right? Have they figured it out? The, you know, the team with such a storied history has the longest streak not making to the NFC Championship game. So the NFC east is already electric now. They're not changing the name back. We're not going to become the Redskins again. But a lot of fans, while they have embraced the Commanders because the, the play on the field speaks for itself. Like I said, Jaden Daniels electric. It's a fun uniform. Yeah. There's speculation that the Washington Commanders could bring back the old Redskins uniform minus only the Redskin. Meaning somehow find something close enough to put on the helmet, but bring back the old Washington Redskins uniforms. What does that mean? Meaning the exact color scheme, the exact pin. I mean, they could have done that anyway. Yeah, but they, they pivoted away from that and they're saying, maybe you're still the Commanders, but you do everything and give it the same look, color scheme, everything. It'll look like the Redskins old uniform, minus the feathers, but maybe just on the helmet, like a C with. You're not going to have the. Maybe the feathers. I don't know. To pay tribute. I don't know. I mean, that would be cool, but I don't think they're going to do that. But the Washington Commanders, coming off of the big success of last year when we were kids and if you grew up in the 80s, didn't you think that was one of the sweeter uniforms? Without a doubt, dude. I had the jersey just because there was something like. Honestly, on paper you'd be like really, like maroon and like yellowish gold. Like, I don't know, it doesn't sound like it will look cool, but it always popped on the field. And they were. You know what helped too, when we were kids in the 80s and 90s, they were good. Yeah, for sure. So, yeah, just a little for people that care about the uniform game. Some people don't give. I was like a little John Riggins dude. She saw me in my sweet jersey. People don't give a crap at all. But you, yeah, you and. Yeah, dude, you don't even know, you know what the John Riggins is. There's a John Riggins move. Oh, you gonna Tell them. Yeah. This is a private moment. You're gonna just expose it like that? Wow. It's one thing for you and I to know he's about to tell the nation. Attention all affiliates. We saw John Riggins in the bathroom one time. 75 years old. John Riggins? Yeah. Still kicking, still doing his thing. He used to work for one of the NFL channels at SiriusXM. He was a nice guy. Wait, so you saw John Riggins in the bathroom? Yeah, next to a urinal. So we. Why are you looking at his watch? So John Riggins. We'd see this guy every day in the hallway and we used to call it the Riggins because he would, you know, hold running backs and fullbacks. They're hobbling a little bit, right? I mean, think of the wear and tear a guy like Riggins put on his body. Right? Yeah. A lot of moaning and groaning as he buckled his belt. And I'll tell you, he was always so kind to everyone there. Hey, good to see you guys. This is all just kindness. But he goes up to the urinal and picture this. You do your straddle a little bit, unbuckles his pants. Your feet got to be parallel to your. To the shoulders, you know, one forearm against the wall and then the other forearm against wall and just leans his. Oh, so no hands. No hands on the rigging. On the Jimmy. No hand on the Jimmy Johnson. And I remember being like, I like how you stayed in the same division. Yeah, so. So we. So hands, elbows on the wall. Basically because he's so tired. We would always joke that if you were drunk, high or tired and you just went to the bathroom, or you put your arm up, like your forearm, like both forearms against the wall in front of the urinal. No hands. And that's the Riggins. Just a lot of riggings going on in Vegas as fast. Yeah, it's like I could barely stand sort of thing. I'm so tired. I'm going to pull the old Riggins. True story. I was there. We witnessed it. All right, well, hey, with that said, again, anyone that joins us in Vegas, what a great weekend. We're going to do more events as. Stay tuned for footage, pictures, videos, everything at Covino and R. Yeah. And it's crazy to think as the show continues to grow, which it just keeps growing, we appreciate all the love and support and we're going to bring that party to your city sooner or later.
