And we're going to be broadcasting live from Atlanta during the MLB All Star Week. As I've been saying, it's quite the honor to be the only show voted in by the Fox Sports Radio fans into the All Star Game.

[Rich Davis]

But like you said yesterday by our colleagues, voted ninth.

[Covino]

Yeah, they're hating on us, man. We're filling in for Dan Patrick actually, while we're out there, we're actually filling in for Dan Patrick tomorrow too. We'll tell you all about it. But first, let's be rocking out into the holiday weekend. So we'll be in Atlanta with the brightest baseball athletes from HBCU about to make history there in Atlanta.

[Rich Davis]

I'm hoping Ken Griffey Jr. Jenny Finch, some of the names we've seen that are going to be there. I'd like to do a little hang and see what's going on there. And by the way, for over 40 years, got to always give props to our friends at Tire Rack, helping customers find those right tires for how, what and where they drive, convenient installation options, free road hazard protection and all that again@ Tire Rack.com the way Tire buying should be in a few Minutes. We're going to get to Mike's words, the wisdom, but I want to just throw two quick one dumb question at you and throw a stat at you. Is that cool?

[Covino]

Sure.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Covino]

Can I just wrap up my final story, though briefly? This isn't a name drop because we're talking about the catalyst for your weight loss journey. It could be your friends just making fun of you and you took it personally. Like, enough's enough. Someone calls you beefy, Someone calls you a big guy. What do they mean by that?

[Rich Davis]

You know, interestingly enough, sometimes you could change the way you look or go on a fitness mission or maybe change your style based on how you hear someone describe you. I once had someone. I just. We have a friend at an old job that sort of changed their look because they were described as, you know, like the balding guy who has bad style. He's like, balding guy with bad style.

[Covino]

Yeah. Makes the change, right? That's how our very first live broadcast, believe it or not, True story, was at Henry Winkler's house.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Covino]

And it's sort of a famous story because there's a picture from that day and it was mid bite. I was eating a bagel. Henry Winkler's like, guys, welcome to my house. Here's a plate of bagels. And I'm mid bite during this picture. And I turn around and I look like an extra on the Sopranos in this photo.

[Danny G]

That was it.

[Covino]

And I'm serious. I look like Steve Pastor.

[Rich Davis]

And.

[Spot]

And you had an Android phone at the time.

[Covino]

And I had. I looked like such a slob in this photo. And it haunted me, though. And like, our listeners saw this photo because it was our broadcast at Henry Winkler's house. And they're like, dude, what happened to Covino? Did Covino eat Covino? And it haunted me so hard. I was like, I better lose some weight, man. Cause this is getting bad. Because a lot of times you're the last to know and your friends are trying to figure out a way to tell you, but you just don't know. So, hey, whatever it is, maybe make the best of it. And for Debo Samuel, it's Terrell Owens calling him fat.

[Rich Davis]

He did call him fat.

[Covino]

He did. I reread the quote. He did.

[Rich Davis]

He said. Then he went on to say, lay off the gabagool.

[Covino]

But a lot of times it's a picture, man. Wow. Is that what I look like?

[Rich Davis]

Can I read the quote one last time? Because it just. It really is like, oh, man, that's his boy. Terrell Owens said Commander's Debo. Samuel is fat. He ain't big boned. He's about two chicken nuggets from tipping the scale. Debo's my guy, though.

[Covino]

I love Debo, so I'll be honest. If Debo has any pride, and I do. And I did the ribbing I got from our listeners, and Rich and everybody from that picture really did motivate me. I'm like, yo, man, I'm better than that. Screw that, you know? And I used that as a challenge. Didn't hurt my feelings.

[Rich Davis]

It just.

[Covino]

Yeah, forced me to step up. So, hey, guys, summer's here. Get on it and stay motivated.

[Rich Davis]

Now, here's what I want to do. I have an interesting stat about sports viewership and a hypothetical for you guys, but here's what we'll do. Let's play Mike Mike's words of wisdom. And while we're getting contestants, I'll zip through my story. So every Wednesday, Big Mike, who runs this place?

[Mike]

Who?

[Rich Davis]

Mike, drop some words of wisdom. You know, he's a guy that's lived. He's a guy that's been there, done that. He's a guy that played Scrabble with Gary Coleman once. He's a guy that was on Supermarket Sweep.

[Covino]

Scrabble's code for threesome, by the way.

[Rich Davis]

I always thought that, too.

[Covino]

I don't know. The story's a little strange.

[Spot]

He got c blocked by Coleman is what happened.

[Rich Davis]

That.

[Covino]

That really is what happened. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, or it could be weirder. We don't know. But hey, Mike drops words of wisdom. You have to recite it with word for word. If you do, you win a Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. Swiggy. Let's hear Big Mike's words of wisdom.

[Covino]

It's time for the guy that runs this place.

[Dan Byer]

Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really, anybody here. He does not run this place.

[Covino]

It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

[Rich Davis]

Don't wait until your deathbed to tell.

[Covino]

People how you feel. Tell them to suck it right now. Oh, I like that. Honesty, I think. Words of wisdom.

[Rich Davis]

You like playing that Again with the chimes a little lower. I mean, I feel like this one came in a little quieter today.

[Spot]

He whispered the first part of it.

[Rich Davis]

Give people another chance.

[Dan Byer]

Could you actually play it with fire alarms ringing in the background?

[Covino]

That's a good tw.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's try this.

[Danny G]

Round two.

[Rich Davis]

Here we go.

[Spot]

Rich, be quiet.

[Rich Davis]

Don't wait until your deathbed to tell.

[Covino]

People how you feel. Tell them to suck it right now.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, wow, Big Mike, who runs this place? Hey, recite that word for word. 8 7, 7, 9, 9 on Fox.

[Covino]

Verbatim, though.

[Rich Davis]

Verbatim. And you win a kavito. Rich Swiggy.

[Spot]

One of the last swiggies.

[Danny G]

And if you put the same inflection on it, we'll also throw in a koozie.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, there you go, Per. All right, all right. Now, my deep thought and a stat I saw about sports viewership. Deep thought. I'm at a restaurant last night with my wife. We had a little date night. Grandma's in town watching the kids. So my wife and I actually get.

[Covino]

Grandma and Pe Par in town.

[Rich Davis]

Pa, pa, me Ma. Stop it. So Grandma and Grandpa in town. So my wife and I actually got to go on a date night.

[Covino]

Mimi and Poo Poo.

[Rich Davis]

We went to a nice, all you could eat sushi spot, right? Reasonably priced. The food was great. Everything about the experience, top notch. But it was lit like a food court. I have no other way to describe this place. Like the entrees, the sushi, the food, the quality, the decor, the signage. Everything in this place was sleek. But it's like, I just wanted to tell them, turn the lights down. And I got to ask Danny, it's a restaurant that's only been open three months. Can you tell a restaurant something like that?

[Spot]

Like, hey, yeah, yeah, you tell the manager your opinion on that.

[Covino]

Because you.

[Spot]

That's one reason to this day, my wifey will not go into a Walmart. Besides, she thinks she's too good for it. She's like, I'm going to Target. And I'm like, all right, you're too good for Walmart. But she hates the fluorescent lighting inside Walmart Hospital.

[Covino]

It's like, worse.

[Spot]

She's like, my skin looks green when I'm walking around Walmart.

[Covino]

It really is the worst.

[Rich Davis]

The reality is, like, I'm telling you, this restaurant was sleek, nice. Everything was perfect. Great date night. I see couples everywhere. Beautiful spot. But I think everyone had to feel the same way. I'm like, why are we. Is someone getting operated on? Like, why bright lights? And the whole time I'm thinking, it's a newer place. Is it out of turn for a customer to say, hey, love the food customer?

[Covino]

I look at it this way.

[Rich Davis]

Love the experience. But just, hey, you know, you're a.

[Covino]

Member of the community. And as a member of the community, you want to see these businesses succeed. Small business Small business. Want to be able to go there again. Enjoy your time there. If you do it in a constructive way, I think you have every right to not be a Karen or a Darren, but to be a frequent customer and tell them your opinion is probably helpful and they might be, like, grateful that you did.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, service is great, food is great. Tell them all that. I love the poor. One thing, though, that's easy thing they can adjust is the lights. What a great experience my wife and I had. But I know you guys are a new restaurant. You think about turning the lights down a little because it's a great date spot to say.

[Covino]

I don't think it'd be a question, like, debatable. I think you have every right to say something like that. It's like the temperature. If you're cold or something, you're not going to tell the guy, like, great times. Why is it so cold in here? You want to have a nice experience. So I think, yeah, you lead with the. Anytime criticism's involved, right. You lead with the compliment. But it's also coming from a place of. You just want to see this place succeed because it's your neighborhood, it's your community. And I don't know, I feel that sense of pride. And when a new place opens, I want it to do well. So I think if you really want to help them, I think. I think it's the right thing to do. Not even like a question. It's nice of you to do it.

[Rich Davis]

Okay. I just didn't want to. I didn't want to be an overstepper. But I think we've all been there, right? Like, you could go to a sports bar. You could. I've been to sports bars where I'm like, hey, listen, I love you got a great bar menu, you got all the games on. But, like, instead of the main game's volume, you got some lame DJ playing. Like, play the volume of the game or something.

[Covino]

If the DJ's too loud, aren't you going to say something?

[Rich Davis]

I just.

[Covino]

You don't have to be. You don't have to be mean about it. Like I said, it's this constructive criticism.

[Rich Davis]

I remember going to a bar in Hoboken where you might think this sounds like a good idea, but every Sunday they play the most popular game on the speakers. But during the commercials. And you would say, of course during the commercials, do something else. But this DJ would play the loud for like a minute. And then when the game turned back on, it was to put the volume on. I'm like, unnecessary.

[Covino]

I.

[Rich Davis]

So these little things, you think it's okay to say, I do.

[Covino]

I absolutely do. Yeah. Because again, this is a place you want to go back to. You want to feel good about it. The food is good. Food is good.

[Guest Speaker]

That's the most important thing.

[Danny G]

The lights can be adjusted easily.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. I mean, listen, even a chain restaurant. Danny G. Our biggest complaint, when we'd go across the street, Buffalo Wild Wings, they would have some of the weaker games on the bigger TVs because the person didn't know. Right. Like, we'd be going to there to watch Thursday Night Football, by the way, and they had some like this.

[Covino]

A question for John Taffer.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. No, but it's like sometimes Dan by. You've been there, right? Where? Oh, yeah. You're like, why do you got, like, a Division 3 college game on when we're trying to hear. To watch Monday Night Football and DB.

[Spot]

The last time you were there with us, remember, it was like them trying to find a manager. They couldn't find the remote. It took 15 minutes to get one TV change.

[Dan Byer]

It annoys me so much. And in fact, this past weekend. It's funny that you say this because you had the Joey Chestnut interview from earlier in the show. I was at a restaurant with my wife and son eating lunch on Saturday with an old hot dog eating contest on one of the TVs. Who wants to watch that while they're eating?

[Rich Davis]

Yummy.

[Danny G]

But it was left.

[Dan Byer]

It was like. It was on ESPN News on a Saturday.

[Covino]

That's a great point.

[Dan Byer]

How is nobody else seeing this? There's gotta be at least a baseball game going on at this point.

[Spot]

It was weird, though, because you ordered the mini hot dog appetizer I ordered.

[Rich Davis]

Why'd you get pigs in a blanket?

[Dan Byer]

I ordered 74 hot dogs.

[Rich Davis]

That was what was weird.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

So, yeah. Thank you, guys. You made me feel better. Now let's get our winner. Or let's try to get a winner.

[Spot]

Yeah. We have five contestants lined up.

[Rich Davis]

Mike's words of wisdom. Where do you want to start, Kevin?

[Spot]

Yeah, give us that music. I was saying we're going to start in Orlando. Kevin is first up to bat.

[Rich Davis]

Orlando.

[Spot]

Hey, Kevy. Kev, what's up?

[Rich Davis]

Hello, Kevin.

[Spot]

All right, Kevin, you think you got this?

[Rich Davis]

I think I got it. I love the chime.

[Spot]

All right, let's hear it.

[Rich Davis]

Don't wait until your deathbed to tell people what you think.

[Covino]

Instead, tell them, sorry, Kev. Sorry, buddy. Close, buddy. Try again next week.

[Spot]

All right, let's try Terry in Wyoming.

[Rich Davis]

It's fourth of July week. So when you talk to a Terry, what do you got to say? Back it up, Terry. Back it up.

[Covino]

Back it up, Terry. What's up?

[Rich Davis]

Back it up, Terry. What's up, bud?

[Covino]

Not a lot.

[Spot]

All right, Terry.

[Covino]

I think I got it, though. All right, cool.

[Spot]

Wait. Wait for your music. That's gonna make you sound very smart here.

[Rich Davis]

Okay?

[Spot]

Let it simmer.

[Rich Davis]

All right. Don't wait until your deathbed to tell.

[Covino]

People how you feel.

[Spot]

Tell them to suck it right now. That's a winner.

[Covino]

That's a winner. There you go.

[Rich Davis]

Back it up, Terry.

[Covino]

The whistle. Go.

[Spot]

Woo.

[Rich Davis]

Back it up.

[Spot]

Congrats. Hang on the line. Gonna get your info and mail. A shiny CNR Swiggy. One of the last ones to Wyoming.

[Rich Davis]

There you go, bud.

[Covino]

Thank you. All right, man. Throwing some koozies for the summertime, man. Sit back in, unwind. Thank you. We only have a few left. Working on some new prizes for football season, so stick around. More prizes, more games coming soon here on the Cavino and Richo. And we still got midweek major coming up, no doubt.

[Rich Davis]

And a story about Aaron Judge we're gonna get to before the end of the show. But I said I had this stat about sports viewership, and I think this is in the category of. Yeah, no s like, you know, yeah, duh, of course.

[Covino]

But see how many people tuned into squid game? 60.1 million worldwide. Breaking Netflix records, by the way. Season three.

[Rich Davis]

Keep that number in perspective because, you know, we talk about sports here in the US and globally. I ask you if you were to think top. Top. I'm gonna go eight. Top eight. I like it. So you're MySpace top eight, like the 2000s.

[Covino]

Oh, I'm putting tila tequila in mine. Ooh, Ooh.

[Rich Davis]

What do you think the most viewed quote championship games there were like the game six that clinched it or the game five or the game seven, like the. The final game in a sport or the championship game. Where would you say top eight? Top eight answers on the board.

[Covino]

That's tough because the way globally people watch sports is so different now.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, get start. What you think the top answers are? World Cup. World cup number one. The last World Cup, 571 million people.

[Covino]

Maybe like a Muhammad Ali fight thriller.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, no, no. This past year, like, oh, this past year, like. Yeah, in sports, like.

[Covino]

I thought you meant of all time.

[Rich Davis]

No, this is what I'm talking. Like in the past calendar year or the last time there was an Olympics or World cup or something.

[Spot]

I was just going to Say the Olympic Games.

[Rich Davis]

The Olympics are not on this?

[Spot]

No.

[Covino]

Wow.

[Spot]

I've seen a stat before about how much of the world tunes into Tour de France.

[Covino]

Nope.

[Spot]

No?

[Rich Davis]

Well, I mean, super bowl is Super Bowl. This list could be. I think it's. It was from front office sports, which I trust. Super Bowls number 327 million people watched the last Super Bowl. So World cup number one, super bowl number three. There's something in between.

[Covino]

Cricket, Tyson, Jake, Paul.

[Rich Davis]

Not Tyson, Jake Paul. Cricket champion. League Soccer. Oh, 150 million people. So soccer, football was number one and two worldwide, obviously. Number three, NFL, Super Bowl. Now the rest, I'll give you the hint that it's. It's United States.

[Dan Byer]

Okay.

[Spot]

Wimbledon.

[Rich Davis]

No, no. What do you think number four would be?

[Covino]

Oh, Yankees, Dodgers.

[Rich Davis]

That, my friends, is number five. The game five of the World Series. 18.6 million. So Yankee baseball, number five.

[Dan Byer]

College football.

[Rich Davis]

College football. College football championship number four at 22 million. Now you got six, seven and eight.

[Covino]

The last three, six, seven and eight.

[Rich Davis]

I'll give you six, seven, eight, nine. How about that? Make it easy.

[Covino]

Well, we're all shying away from game seven, NBA, right. Like, because we would know that's number six. Is it?

[Rich Davis]

Okay, at its peak, 16 and a half million.

[Covino]

So, all right. I mean, it was a game seven, but we dumped on how little people cared for a game 7.

[Dan Byer]

What about Kentucky Derby?

[Danny G]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Rich Davis]

No, but something. Up yours. Steampipe Alley Dam by 12.7 mil.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Spot]

And then NCAA Final Four.

[Danny G]

What number was the Masters?

[Rich Davis]

The Masters number seven.

[Covino]

Okay.

[Rich Davis]

And by the way, you know, it's so funny, I'm wondering if this is championship because I did not. Let me look at NCAA basketball on this because I saw the NHL Stanley Cup 2.8, and then the WNBA had 1.6 mil. I'm going to check this.

[Covino]

Static.

[Spot]

Oh, yeah. Final Four is more than that. Final four is probably 15 million viewers.

[Rich Davis]

I don't see Final Four on this. Maybe there was a caveat there. But it's just interesting. My biggest takeaway was that we very much love the NFL and it is king. Here it is. The NFL dominates. But it's like the iPhone, number one and two. Yeah. Like you said, it's like the iPhone. Around the world, it's football. Soccer is the Android.

[Covino]

It's the Android.

[Rich Davis]

It's wild. Because the World cup and champion League finals, like, over the Super Bowl.

[Dan Byer]

What's interesting too, is that I think we all probably would have thought Olympics, but now that it's turned into so much of a TV show instead of an actual competition.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Dan Byer]

You know where like things are packaged stuff is on tape delay. It's depends on where it is.

[Danny G]

And if you're not watching it live, most people don't watch every.

[Covino]

Yeah, yeah.

[Spot]

And there's weird dancers with painted faces and then the like they're in color guard.

[Danny G]

And because the coverage is so spread out too, it's like it's NBC.

[Dan Byer]

Like an opening ceremony. Maybe I could take. But I don't know how you can pin down any event.

[Covino]

Right.

[Rich Davis]

I'm going to try to find this list again to double check it, but I just found it on the fly. So don't, don't blame me. But I did find it interesting that.

[Spot]

Blame Rich at Rich Davis.

[Rich Davis]

Of all the things, I mean they were obvious. College, you know, college football championship, the NBA finals and you know, baseball I knew would be close, which they were. Baseball edged out the NBA a little bit. And then I hate it because for all our hockey loving, you know, east coast and northern friends, hockey still struggles with like 2 million people watching.

[Spot]

And Florida now and Florida back to back, so.

[Rich Davis]

All right. Hey, we got more Kavito on Rich spot. I hope you got the biggest stories in the world lined up. Oh, is that today midweek, major headlines, sports, entertainment, all the stuff you might have missed. Spock keeps you in the loop. We do that next right here on FOX Sports Radio. Now, Travis, Matthew, let me tell you, the featherweight jeans.

[Covino]

Oh, I'm wearing them right now.

[Danny G]

Can't even tell.

[Rich Davis]

Can't. I think, I think we're not wearing pants. They're so lightweight.

[Covino]

They're so sweet. I'm loving them. And the button ups.

[Rich Davis]

Come on, button up.

[Covino]

Your look effortless style wherever you land. Crisp, versatile, always in style. The new button ups, ready to go wherever you go.

[Rich Davis]

And the T shirt. Hey, they could be your first layer. They could be your only layer because they're fitted so nicely. High quality button ups. I call them button downs. You call them button ups. Effortless style. You look sleek for a date night. And they got those sneaker shoe things you love where it's like not a sneaker, it's not a shoe.

[Covino]

Yeah. Honestly, I just got to bust them out because they're so nice. In my mind, I'm like, I'm saving them for a special occasion. I just gotta bust them out and make you guys jealous. It's [e-mail] and if you're a dude like me, you hate returning things and you rarely order things online, but it's free shipping and free returns for reward members. But if you're making a big summer purchase, you're getting some of that MLB collection. Those cloud collection T shirts or T shirts are so nice in the hats. You receive 20% off your first order when you sign up for email.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I rocked this really nice button up to our golf event in Vegas. Everyone's like, where'd you get that shirt? Travis Matthews, Where I got that shirt? So again, you want 20% off your first order? Go there now.

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.

[Rich Davis]

[Guest Speaker]

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

[Rich Davis]

Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

[Guest Speaker]

From Lava For Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season one, Taser Incorporated.

[WebMD Announcer]

The OGs of uncensored motherhood are back and badder than ever. I'm Erica. And I'm Mila. And we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast, brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network every Wednesday. Historically, men talk too much and women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your tribe with guests like Corinne Stephans. I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happen, and then everybody else want to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem.

[Covino]

My oldest daughter, her first day in.

[Rich Davis]

Ninth grade and I called to ask how I was doing. 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.

[WebMD Announcer]

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.

[Rich Davis]

Like, oh my God, it's go time. You actually sent it.

[WebMD Announcer]

Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast.

[Ebony]

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going.

[Rich Davis]

Through something like that is a traumatic experience.

[Dan Byer]

But it's also not the end of your life.

[Ebony]

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Tritate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich Davis]

All right.

[Covino]

I wish I could see what Bonita looked like because my impression says she had a fat ass. Kavino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio girls.

[Rich Davis]

That look like Debo Samuel.

[Spot]

We always thought, though, that Q tip had the best opening to the first verse because he just, he just talks. He says, hey, Benita, glad to meet you.

[Rich Davis]

I got to apologize. What did was that Fox broadcaster that said, I'm sorry, Not sure what happened there.

[Covino]

Oh, that was Shepherd Smith. Shepard Smith. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Not sure what happened there. Won't happen again. I. I did that list of the most watched sporting events and I found another list and you were right, Danny G. The Tour de France and the Olympics were on a different list.

[Spot]

What do I win?

[Rich Davis]

I don't know what the hell I was looking at. You know, it's so weird. Now you see these sounds about right. Verified sports accounts will post things. And Danny, you and I were saying how you have to like quadruple check things now.

[Spot]

Yeah. The research for last one standing takes a good hour to double check all the stats and graphs and things I see because I want to make sure that whoever gathered the info didn't miss anything.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Well, by the way, while I apologize for that, I'm going to send you to @rich Davis. I'll put it on at Kobe nonrich as well. Really fun thing you could do with your kids. There was a trend I saw where a kid lays in his driveway. Right.

[Covino]

Safe. Yeah. Fun for the kids.

[Rich Davis]

The kid lays in his driveway in the poses of all the sports logos and his mom or dad hoses around him and it makes the. He did Air Jordan. He did the MLB logo. He did the. The basketball logo. It's actually really cool.

[Danny G]

So sounds like a fun story for midweek.

[Rich Davis]

Major, did you have that?

[Spot]

Oh, man.

[Covino]

Way to go, Rich.

[Rich Davis]

Well, if you did, why don't you apologize?

[Covino]

Why don't you apologize again while you're at it?

[Danny G]

Just cross that one off.

[Rich Davis]

Sorry. Not sure what happened there. Won't happen again. You know what? It is time for midweek, Major. Let's go.

[Covino]

Cavino and Rich gets you over the.

[Rich Davis]

Middle of the week with midweek. Major. Oh, I love that.

[Covino]

We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas.

[Rich Davis]

And it's like the kids say, that's so mid. We definitely major.

[Covino]

CNR scoring midweek major.

[Spot]

We can give Spotty at least 8 1/2 minutes right now.

[Covino]

All right.

[Spot]

Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of this segment. As you hear the horns, that means you've made it more than halfway through this holiday week. All right, we roll the two big red love dice over there in the main studio.

[Covino]

I just rolled a 10. Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, you made it it halfway through the year as of today.

[Covino]

No. Okay. Yes.

[Danny G]

And halfway to 2050 from to the year 2000.

[Rich Davis]

Holy crap. All right, let's see what we got here.

[Spot]

What?

[Covino]

What?

[Rich Davis]

I got a hard six.

[Spot]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

Whoa.

[Spot]

That means Covino gets first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Spotty boy.

[Danny G]

Hey, did you guys hear about the kid that. That lays in his driveway?

[Covino]

All right.

[Danny G]

Despite all the speculation, despite all the speculation of this weekend celebrity, celebrity filled Jeff Bezos wedding, there is no budding romance between the goat Tom Brady and the bouncing beauty Sydney Sweeney. Source close to Sweeney says that the actress is very much single, despite being spotted with not only Brady, but also recently single actor Orlando Bloom. Sweeney is, quote, currently focused on her career and enjoying life and romance is not a priority, especially since her split with her fiance Jonathan Divino back in January. So it looks like Tommy will have to buy the soap just like the rest of us. Midweek or major.

[Covino]

It's a mid story because Tommy should have cashed in just for the fun of it. But as much as Sydney Sweeney is a bombshell and she's very sexy and lovely and talented and I'm excited to see her as Christy Martin, the boxer in her next movie. Don't act like you're the prize. Sydney Sweeney. TB12 touchdown. Tommy's the prize here.

[Rich Davis]

I agree. Okay. And you know what I think, I don't think she's saying that she's. Yeah.

[Covino]

But it does come across that way a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I think it's like if.

[Covino]

I were her, I wouldn't dispel those rumors. Those are great rumors. That's Tom Brady, bro.

[Rich Davis]

I. I think the fact that flirting up with Tom Brady makes her look cooler to me. But you know what, Svad? I think your story is. I'm not saying your story is mid, but it's mid. Because I think the bigger question, and I'm curious what you guys think. Not that I'm taking over midweek, Major.

[Danny G]

You always are.

[Rich Davis]

When you see the list of people there. Tell me, all those people know Bezos, or is he just a rich guy that invited the popular kids and they all showed up?

[Danny G]

There it is.

[Rich Davis]

Do you think he knows every one of those people? You think Jeff Bezos is hanging out with Tom Brady and then Lady Gaga and Elton John? You think those are his friends?

[Covino]

Hell no. That's a big look at me notice.

[Rich Davis]

Seems like you remember, like the rich kid in high school had a party and like the popular kids just showed up. I think that's rich.

[Covino]

Jeff, great to see you.

[Danny G]

Must be Nigel with Debris.

[Covino]

Good one. All right.

[Danny G]

Can I go?

[Rich Davis]

Are you good? You good?

[Covino]

All right.

[Danny G]

Well, you may not be living like Tom Brady dancing with Sunny Sweeney. If you ever wanted to live like the other goats, now's your chance. So Michael Jordan's former mansion has now been listed on Airbnb with your chance to, quote, live like a legend. So Jordan's Highland Park, Illinois home in the suburbs of Chicago was sold in December for 9.5 million. And the new owner apparently trying to make some of that money back. So the home has seven bedrooms, 17.5 baths, and can fit up to 12 guests. However, it currently has a seven night minimum on Airbnb which will cost you at least six figures. So for sample, a week in August is going for roughly $15,000 a night. With the seven night minimum, that puts it to 105K. And if you want to stay for Labor Day weekend, it goes up as high as $120,000. The owner says that he has other plans for the seven plus acre estate, but in the meantime, trying to recoup.

[Covino]

Some funds midweek or major mid. I think it's cool. Don't get it twisted. I also think they should do more of a play on words like Air Jordan. Bnb. Air.

[Rich Davis]

Bnb.

[Danny G]

Oh, it's good. You should do the marketing, right?

[Covino]

Air in quotes. But it only applies to anyone just interested in real estate or people who have 15,000 a night to spare. Give me a break. Exactly. So yeah, it's cool to see what his house looks like and all that, but who does this really apply to? A bunch of rich a holes.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it's like when some rich person sells their house for 30 million. Like who Buys it like the small little window. People that could, you know, like another celebrity.

[Covino]

I ain't spending 15,000 a night.

[Rich Davis]

But there is a story about a kid who makes a silhouette of Michael Jordan.

[Danny G]

So, Kavino, since your first. I saw on Social this week that you posted, you got some new, quote, bad boys. You got some new hats.

[Covino]

I got some new hats.

[Danny G]

New, sweet Yankee hats.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

Well, LeBron James rocking a new bad boy. That's apparently sparking some controversy. He's already locked in for the Lakers, but for the next season, 25, 27 season. But his future beyond that still up in the air. Well, LeBron posted on social media while golfing in the Cleveland area a photo of himself wearing a hat that said, quote, welcome home. Leading to speculation that he may be looking to wrap up his career back in Cleveland with the Cavs. Of course, it could mean absolutely nothing, which is probably the case, but the Cavs have been championship contenders. They were leading the Eastern Conference with 64 wins last season. So if he's looking to end in a championship, this may be his pathway midweek or major.

[Covino]

I think that's major. Definitely major. Don't think that guys like LeBron are above little hints and dropping hints like that to get people to speculate and to get LA to sort of panic. They also want to keep him, I would imagine, just for that farewell tour, but I think it's a strong possibility that he ends up there. But Cleveland hunt. Fun times in Cleveland.

[Rich Davis]

Cleveland again.

[Covino]

Cleveland. Or as Sophie Cunningham said, who wants to go visit Cleveland anyway? Yeah, I guess LeBron might.

[Rich Davis]

I think everything LeBron James does, he knows, has to be, you know, it's. It's calculated enough because he knows everyone's gonna look at it. We've joked about if LeBron went on Twitter and just said one word like emoji. Potatoes. People be like potatoes. What does that mean?

[Covino]

Yeah, but this is very blatant. Welcome home. Definitely dropping hints.

[Rich Davis]

I. I think. I think it's major.

[WebMD Announcer]

Definitely major.

[Rich Davis]

Anything LeBron does is major. He's one of the last superstars of the NBA because the younger guys aren't carrying that torch quite yet. So I think the speculation as to where he ends up is big, but it's all part of the game. Like Cavino said, free agents, not even free agents. People that will eventually have options love to do these little social media games. It's good for the fans, and it gives them leverage on their team.

[Covino]

All right.

[Danny G]

This past Monday, Netflix dropped the first trailer for the upcoming docu series, which will Highlight the d. Dallas Cowboys heyday and, of course, owner Jerry Jones. So America's Team, the Gambler and his Cowboys is slated to be a look back on the Dallas Cowboys era of dominance, focusing on Jerry Jones risking everything for a chance at transforming and leading the franchise to three titles in the 90s. The series will feature interviews with Jerry Jones himself, other legends like Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmett Smith, Deion Sanders, Jimmy Johnson, and even former president President Bush. The docuseries will be broken up into eight episodes, eight total episodes, and will premiere August 19th on Netflix, just in time for the NFL season midweek or major.

[Covino]

Major because this is the last time they were good. Who doesn't like a well done documentary? We could relive the heyday and remember why they were America's team, why they still have this reputation. Because. Not because of anything they've done recently, it's because of then. I mean, I'll be watching that.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, we loved Last Dance. I loved man in the Arena, Tom Brady. These big documentaries are fantastic. So I think major for that.

[Covino]

Definitely major weak.

[Rich Davis]

If you're a Cowboys fan, you know what it's like? It's like a fat girl looking at a picture when she used to be hot. Like, if you're a Cowboys fan, I.

[Danny G]

Like the photos you put around your place of your wife.

[Rich Davis]

My wife. My wife is trim.

[Covino]

I think that he's trying to motivate her. Right. I think.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's sad for Cowboys fans. Sorry for my Debo Samuel analogy.

[Covino]

Why is it sad for you to watch highlights from 86? No, my wife got. It's not even a knock. It's just a question.

[Rich Davis]

It's a low blow.

[Covino]

No, it's not.

[Rich Davis]

86 minutes.

[Covino]

Who doesn't like to relive the heyday?

[Rich Davis]

I know, I know. I agree. But I'm just saying it's a. It's just a reminder that you're the Cowboys. You're the. You're the. You have the longest stint not making it to the NFC championship game. You're a disappointment year after year. Let me remind you with your heyday.

[Covino]

I don't know, what's the old saying? It's better to have loved than lost. Yeah. I mean, fool me once to have never. You know what I'm trying to say? You can't take away that.

[Danny G]

Run that stuff like that.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Covino]

All right.

[Danny G]

Do we have time for one more?

[Covino]

All right.

[Danny G]

Well, we all know bobbleheads have become a hot ticket item. People waiting in line for hours like the shohei Ohtani, one that just came out recently. We'll move over Shohei because George Costanza is coming to town. As you know, the iconic Seinfeld character worked for the Yankees organization.

[Rich Davis]

Isn't that your favorite Christmas song?

[Danny G]

I love it. And on August 21st, the Yanks will be releasing a limited edition George Costanza sleeping under his desk bobblehead. Remember that? Remember that episode? Taking that to the first 18,000 fans. They're excited. Pre sales for the bobblehead on ebay are already going for as high as 200, which surpasses astronomically. The tickets to the actual game. Like tickets on resale sites are only going for 50 bucks, especially considering how the Yanks have been doing recently. In contrast, the recent Aaron Judge Superman bobblehead which gave came out on the 20th, only went for about 100 bucks on eBay. So George Costanza really pulling in the money for the Yanks. Midweek or major?

[Covino]

Well, I think the public has spoken and it's major.

[WebMD Announcer]

Definitely major.

[Covino]

But for me personally it's mid because I'm not a big bobblehead guy and I personally thought the Billy Joel bobblehead was cooler. Have you seen it? It's the Billy Joel Yankee bobblehead. And he's sitting there in front of the piano and he's battling some health issues and he's a very New York guy, very cool. But yeah, I mean, people are freaking out about it. What can I say?

[Rich Davis]

I think it's major. You know what I think it's gonna lead to?

[WebMD Announcer]

Definitely major.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's gonna lead to a night where they give away cotton Yankee jerseys.

[Danny G]

Oh, that's great.

[Rich Davis]

That was extra tight. Extra tight. All right, thank you. Spot great. Midweek major. Let's go to our buddy Dan Byer, see what's going on in the world of sports tv.

[Dan Byer]

Guys, some news from the NBA. It's been a busy past few days. The news keeps on trickling in as Deandre Ayton is officially a free agent, but not a free agent for long. Multiple reports say he's going to get a two year deal to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. Mike Brown's the new head coach of the New York Knicks. He was the only candidate that New York interviewed for a second time. This is now his fourth stop in the NBA. Or fourth different team, I should say. Coached the Cavs on two stints. Also coached the Lakers and Sacramento Kings. Speaking of the Lakers, the athletic says that la, the warriors and Celtics are amongst the teams interested in Damian Lillard reaching out to the free agent guard Jaren Jackson to be re evaluated in 12 weeks after the Memphis All Star had turf toe surgery. In baseball, the Padres and Phillies are underway and scoreless in the third inning in game two of their double header earlier today. Padres took game one six four raised down the A's by a score of six to five while the Red Sox finished their completed game against the Reds from yesterday five to three. They'll play again tonight at Fenway. Pirates blank. The Cardinals winning five nothing. Pittsburgh sweeps that three game series. It's game one of a double header completed as the Tigers topped the Nationals 11 to 2. Riley Green ended up homering twice for Detroit. Sorry Rich. Brewers and Mets playing game one of.

[Rich Davis]

A double header three one and a fly ball down the left field line.

[Covino]

Back at the track, it is gone. Joey Ortiz big fly for a grand.

[Rich Davis]

Slam in New York.

[Dan Byer]

Brewers radio network they went on to beat the Mets by a score of 7 to 2. And at Wimbledon, there's only one top seed of the top five left in the lady singles arena. Sabalenka, she's on the third round. Taylor Fritz, the American one on the men's side as did Carlos Alcaraz, France. Francis Tiafa lost today. Guys, back to you.

[Rich Davis]

What do you feel like being the number one seed and everyone else gone? Your path to victory is like as clear as can be.

[Covino]

Absolutely.

[Rich Davis]

Don't blow it. All right. Thank you Dan Buyer. Appreciate you.

The OGs of uncensored motherhood are back and badder than ever. I'm Erica. And I'm Mila, and we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast, brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network. Every Wednesday. Historically, men talk too much and women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your tribe with guests like Corinne Stephens. I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happen, and then everybody else want to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem?

[Covino]

My oldest daughter, her first day in.

[Rich Davis]

Ninth grade and I called to ask how I was doing. She was like, dad, all they doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school.

[WebMD Announcer]

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.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, oh, my God, it's go time. You actually sent it.

[WebMD Announcer]

Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you go to find your podcast.

[Ebony]

Sometimes it's hard to remember, but going.

[Rich Davis]

Through something like that is a traumatic experience.

[Dan Byer]

But it's also not the end of your life.

[Ebony]

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Lea Trittate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm, carried silence, and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The Unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the Unwanted Sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Covino]

Hey, quick reminder, if you enjoy our show, and I hope you do, Covino and Rich, we are filling in for Dan Patrick manana tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday, so make note of that. So we'll see you bright and early tomorrow.

[Rich Davis]

It's a Friday. Took Friday off to eat some hot dogs.

[Covino]

I sure did. I'm competing this year.

[Rich Davis]

Stevie likes hot dogs.

[Covino]

So, yeah, make note of it. And join us tomorrow in for Dan, Pat Patrick and again Monday and Tuesday for an extended Dan Patrick hat trick.

[Rich Davis]

Alrighty. Hey, Camino and Rich, live from the Fox Sports Radio studio for over 40 years. Tire rack. Our good friends there have been helping us and I got to remind you that our show is going to be broadcasting live from the MLB All Star Game.

We're almost wrapping up the show and I didn't even wish you a happy Kershaw Day, man.

[Spot]

Right?

[Covino]

Happy Kershaw Special. Kershaw Day today it is, and here's why it's special. I saw a clip the other day with a rod, right? A rod. Said something along the lines about he's asked this question all the time. Someone asked him on TikTok. Hey dude, no one reached out to you to play for another team after the Yankees so that you could hit 700 home runs. How does that sit with you hitting.696?

[Rich Davis]

I've thought about this honestly way too often and he says he answers it.

[Covino]

All the time and I've never heard him really address it. And he said, I looked at it this way, 696 with the Yankees meant way more to me than.700 with another team. So 696 it is.

[Rich Davis]

And that was, if I may run, I would have played with the White Sox for two months.

[Covino]

He said he got three or four people teams reached out to him just for that opportunity. And he was like, nah, I meant more. Which is why you really got to put it in perspective that KERSHAW is getting 3,000 strikeouts hopefully today with the one team that means the most to him in front of the fans that mean the most to him. So I think that's so cool that on Kershaw Day, he gets to do it with the Dodgers, man.

[Spot]

Stage is set.

[Covino]

The stage is set.

[Spot]

Strikeouts away.

[Covino]

Three strikeouts away from 3,000, which is a milestone that. I mean, if a Paul Skeens hits one day, we're lucky. We're not going to see that many pitchers achieve this ever again.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, the Dodgers, rightfully so huge favorites, minus 3. 35. They're playing the White Sox, Dodger Stadium. One of the worst teams in baseball. Second worst team versus the best team in baseball.

[Covino]

Dude. 18 years with the Dodgers, 30. He's like the oldest 37 year old. Cause he's played so long. But it's so cool when you really put that in perspective, because it's not just the accolade, it's the team you do it for. It's the fans you do it in front of.

[Rich Davis]

Also, keep in mind and give him props. He's 4.0with a 3.03 ERA. He's sort of looking really good. He's crafty. Rich, strikeouts.

[Spot]

I know you love fun facts. Rich. Yeah, being pop 2k boy. The Kershaw family has a tie to radio. So Kershaw's dad back in the day was a musician and jingle writer, and he worked for the big jingle shop out of Dallas that makes all the radio jingles from over the years. So they're not used as much in broadcasting like back in the day.

[Covino]

That's cool.

[Spot]

But when the shout, the jingle shout. Rich Davis, his dad helped make all those.

[Rich Davis]

Mr. Kershaw. So that. That. That's awesome. He's the guy that's like 101.1.

[Spot]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Clayton Kershaw on the hill tonight. Three strikeouts away. I'm not putting the, as you call it, the jamboozy the hex on this. What if he has two strikeouts and the next and the next scheduled start is on the road? Do you hold him?

[Covino]

No, I don't.

[Spot]

Don't you even put that out there, man.

[Covino]

Honestly, we all want to see it. Just like Danny said, the stage is set perfectly. It's Kershaw day, and even if you're not a Dodgers hater, you got to tip your hat to that because I don't think we're going to see that many more times in our lifetime.

[Rich Davis]

Well, hey, congrats and good luck to Kershaw. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Ariba there too, baby.

[Covino]

See you in a promised land.
