Spot
Rich is the one with the big head.
Covino
That's Rich. And I'm Cavino. Thank you for rocking out with us Monday through Friday. Let's go.
Rich
Yeah. By the way, some of the night recent videos we uploaded, if you missed anything over the last couple days, we described how. These are two really good clips. How the NBA playoffs are like hotel sex.
Covino
How are the NBA playoffs like hotel sex?
Rich
And Kavino called me out because I stole Coach Klein's coaching theory from.
Covino
Pose a great question though. If you have kids, especially in today's world, is it okay to teach them to play mad? Sometimes when you play mad, it's like taking a guy out of his fight game. You lose focus. But sometimes it gives you that aggression that you needed because I feel like Ryan Garcia couldn't find that aggression, couldn't find that anger and that, that fury that he had with Haney. Is it great to teach him to play mad or not?
Spot
Can we get back to the hotel sex?
Rich
Yeah, that very much like the NBA clip.
Spot
Yeah.
Rich
Watch a clip spot you miss one day, you miss the greatest analogy.
Covino
By the way, that spot he's getting ready for midweek major. This hour, the biggest stories in SP and pop culture. And we're giving away prizes in just a little bit. Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom.
Danny G
Who?
Covino
Mike who runs this place. If you could say his words, repeat his words of wisdom verbatim. Verbatim, you could win a prize. Never heard of them.
Rich
Now one last follow up to the shit Kids and, you know, even high school kids. Should you teach athletes to play angry? It's interesting because there's a Tom Brady should door Sanders tie in? I want to throw in there. But I said that to my son. Yes. I go, you know, Steve and I talked about you on the radio. You talked about me? I said, yeah, how, you know, when you like, essentially hulk up and you play mad.
Covino
Oh, I thought you were going to tell him that he was conceived during a crazy night of hotel sex.
Rich
Yeah. That all ties together during the NBA playoffs. I think in. I think the Bahamas. I think that's the.
Covino
Oh, is that why his name is Khalik? So his middle name.
Rich
I was telling my son, I go, yeah, you know, Steve and I, I agree, you know, there's nothing wrong with playing aggressive. Right. That you don't mad aggressive. And he goes, so when I play, should I run like this? And he just runs so fast through the house. And I go, yes, none of this dilly dally. I think every parent could relate to seeing a kid run down to first base.
Covino
Oh, and they're skipping around and you're.
Rich
Like, that is the slowest I've ever seen you run. You run faster through the living room, kid. What are you doing? So if you want to see that whole clip at Covino and Rich now, I said it ties into Shador and Tom Brady.
Covino
How?
Rich
This is how. Okay to play angry. Okay to play mad? Yes. In fact, okay to play with a chip on your shoulder. Tom Brady texted Chador.
Covino
Shador has a whole can of Pringles.
Rich
On his shoulder that he should use my Pringles, his draft in the slide as motivation. In fact, you should. Yo, you're in the NFL. You got drafted. Tom Brady said I was 199. In fact, take a listen to TB12. Elephant in the room.
Covino
Should our Sanders.
Rich
What happened, Tom? Why did he go so late in the draft?
Covino
It's a good question. I was. I wouldn't have part of any evaluation.
Mike
Process or to skip Bayless says otherwise.
Covino
I know. Well, everyone's got every. You know, that's the problem with media is everyone can just say whatever the they want. I actually texted Shador because I know him very well and I said, dude.
Mike
Like, whatever happens, wherever you go, that's your first day.
Covino
Day two matters more than the draft. I was 199.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
So who could speak on it better than me? Like what that really means. Use it as motivation. You're going to get your chances. Go take advantage of it. Hey, speaking of skip Bayless. What he said was via at real Skip Bayless. It's now pretty clear Tom Brady, who mentored Shador, told the Raiders not to take Shador. Duly noted. And by the way, that sound bite was courtesy of Impulsive. The Impulsive podcast.
Rich
It's weird. I rather hang out with the fake Skip Bills, not the real one.
Covino
Right.
Rich
I will say I think there's something to be said about playing with a chip on your shoulder, using it as motivation. In fact, Tom goes on to talk to in the Impulsive podcast. That was Jake, Paul Logan, Paul's podcast about how even Aaron Rodgers slid down the first round. Even sliding in the round you think you're gonna get drafted in. Those are great motivators. You get passed up for something. Motivators. Early on in my radio career, Danny G. Spot, Kavino. We all have been there, right? Where?
Covino
When they called you Richie the Bull.
Rich
When I was in Syracuse, that was one of my nicknames. How embarrassing.
Covino
Richie the Bull.
Rich
That was Richie the Bull. I got passed up. I. I wanted the late.
Covino
You know why, though? Because everybody knew he was full of bs.
Rich
That's why I was from New York and I had. My accent was strong and I sounded like the guy in the mob or something. Oh. So how many times have you been like, all right, I want that gig. I thought I was going to get the 10:00pm, like, late night, you know, time slot. They gave it to someone else.
Covino
They gave it to Jay Leno. He stole Rich's job too.
Rich
And I just remember thinking like, all right, I hate this place, but I'm going to work here. I'm going to end up somewhere better and tell them all to, you know.
Covino
Like, say that all the time. Dude, I think these are great, great motivators. I don't care what it is. I know that feels like negative energy, but if you could use that as motivation, I think that's great motivation. I've used that with ex girlfriends, ex wives, ex jobs, people that told me to kick rocks. I use that every day as fuel to my fire all the time. You don't think Shador is. I say absolutely. And dude, if that's how Tom Brady became Tom Brady, that's great words of wisdom.
Danny G
There's a famous 80s rap song about this from Bismarckie called Vapors. Make people catch the vapors.
Rich
Let me tell you.
Covino
Catch the vapors.
Rich
Danny.
Covino
I've only said that.
Rich
You've never said that.
Covino
I've always.
Rich
You only knew.
Covino
Just didn't know what Tom.
Rich
Vapors, bro. Bismarck Key. The late great you only knew him from just a friend and part of Yo Gabba Gabba, Catch the Vapors, It's Spring Again, which I had never heard that song. And I love that song.
Covino
Everybody knows it's Spring Again.
Danny G
That song rules.
Rich
But I think it's okay to use motivation. I think we've all been passed up for something. You know, maybe a girl dumps you. Maybe something happens where you get motivated. And there is nothing wrong with that. So the way Tom Brady always seems to play, you know, played with a chip on his shoulder, I think it's good. Shador could come out and be like, yo, you think I'm a fifth rounder? I'll show you what a fifth rounder looks like. That's great. In fact, sometimes I rather that than be the view. The first pick. You could only let people down, use it as motivation. I sort of like the Shador Sanders story is going to go because I think it'll be fun to watch him now compete.
Covino
Tom Brady said, look, he'll have his chance. He'll definitely have his chance. And that day one chance is way more important than where he ended up in the draft.
Rich
No diggity.
Covino
Very cool to hear that. And we got to get into the words of wisdom. Mike's Wednesday words. Mike, who runs this place.
Danny G
Never heard of that.
Covino
Do it every Wednesday. It's not an easy game because you now have to memorize what he said word for word.
Danny G
Although today's is kind of short. Okay, so not as hard as a couple of weeks prior.
Rich
Good, because once Mike says like five words, I sort of like zone out.
Spot
He wasn't feeling as deep this week.
Covino
Oh, yeah, Maybe not. So again. Let's hit it. Let's do it. It's Wednesdays. Mike's Wednesday's words of wisdom.
Rich
Let's go. Oh, boy. It's time for the guy that runs this place.
Mike
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.
Danny G
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Rich
Always remember to be nice to anyone who has access to your toothbrush.
Covino
Oh, man, that's easy.
Rich
Wow. Yeah. That easy.
Covino
You know, first I was just thinking about how profound that was. Like.
Danny G
Yeah, I didn't say. I didn't say it wasn't going to be profound. I just said it was short.
Spot
Don't play it again because I already forgot it.
Covino
Yeah, don't play it again. Don't play it again.
Spot
Is it short enough or it's just one play.
Covino
Now if you could repeat that verbatim and not mess up the. You win a Swiggy. 87799 on Fox. 87799 on Fox. Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. Let's get the phone calls going. Your chance to take home a prize. Our stainless steel coveted midnight black CNR on fsr Stainless steel water bottle.
Danny G
Five tries on the studio.
Rich
Can I tell you there's something to be said about Mike's words of wisdom? Which poses a better question based off his toothbrush.
Covino
Did he say toilet brush?
Rich
Deep thought.
Covino
I think he said toilet brush.
Danny G
My question is he said something else. It started with a D. When you.
Rich
Have company over, do you tuck away your toothbrush somewhere or do you leave it in the holder right there?
Covino
When I'm at your house, I take your toothbrush and I tuck it away somewhere. Somewhere real deep. Woo.
Rich
Proving my point.
Covino
But don't worry, Rich, because before I leave, I put it back.
Spot
Put it back where?
Covino
So in Rich's little tune. So Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. We're getting the phone calls going now. But Rich, while we get the phone calls, I do want to wish you a happy anniversary. Oh, for me, yesterday was dan Byers anniversary, 8th anniversary respectively. So I hope he had a great night. Today is one of your favorite anniversaries.
Rich
Yeah. No, this has nothing to do with my wife or me or a birthday or work. This is the anniversary of the greatest home run in the 21st century in Major League Baseball.
Danny G
Colon looking for his first hit of the year.
Rich
He drives one deep left field. That goes Upton back near the wall. It's out of here. Bartolo has done it. The impossible has happened.
Covino
Now they leaned into the campiness and cheesiness of the moment.
Danny G
Right?
Rich
That's so great.
Covino
That's. Yeah, that's part of the fun.
Rich
The impossible has happened. That one's out of here. Jerry Cohen. That's why he's the best.
Covino
Do you really think he got caught up in the hilarity and excitement or he did that on purpose.
Rich
Caught up because Bartolo, Bartolo Colon has said that his productive years, you know, he always thinks of himself as a Cleveland Indian. He thinks of himself on many teams. But he said the New York fan base, for some reason the Mets embraced him as almost like a mascot in.
Covino
A way more than the Yankees. Remember, he did play with the Yankees.
Rich
But there was something very mascot ish about Bartolo because he was a bigger dude, but yet so good.
Covino
Rubbery arm. He still had it. He still had some junk.
Rich
And he was at the. He was at the later part of his career where he was almost in on the joke. Like, yeah, I'm a big guy, but I'm good. So when he hit that solo home run, I think every Met fan felt like Gary Cohen on that call. And that was nine years ago today. And I only bring that up. The impossible happened. So happy anniversary to one of the greats.
Covino
Well, I have a question.
Rich
One of the great personalities in baseball.
Covino
One of the greats. And you mentioned that he identified as an Indian.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
You know, that's how I look back, too. I remember a young, slender, more slender in shape, Manny Ramirez as an Indian and Bartolo Colon. But by the time he hit that home run, he'd been around a long time.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
Who are some of the greatest old guys to ever do it? Because there's another story about an old guy, and that old guy is Justin Verlander.
Rich
I don't hate the story, even though.
Covino
And I say old on the. When I say old.
Rich
Yeah.
Covino
You mean on the field with a young man in life. He's 42 years old, but that's pretty. That's way up there in today's game for a pitcher.
Rich
Yes. I mean, he's no Negro or Nolan Ryan or anything, but. No.
Covino
Charlie huff, who was 85 years old when he was playing with the Rangers.
Rich
Or don't they talk about, like, Satchel Page? Wasn't he like. Like, he was like old timer age when he was playing still in the bigs. But I think when you look at what Verlander's doing, I don't even get mad. Cavino, you would think as a Mets fan, I would. I would not like it because the Mets paid him all that money and nothing really happens. I always root for the old guy. And if the old guy in sports, I know, 42, such an old guy. I think it's a great story. And a Verland, there's the eras and the twos, and he found his last four starts.
Covino
Last four starts, 2.7, 270 ERA.
Rich
So props to Justin Verland.
Covino
Props to him because there's a part of you that has to root for the older guy, even if they're not on your team or not necessarily your guy. Like, there's a part of you, it's like, oh, yeah. Makes you feel like you could still do it. So props to him. And of course, Bartolo clone, who did that in his older age. And if there's any other Older guys, the greatest ever do it. Older guys that come to mind, aside from the classic George Foreman moments.
Rich
I mean, I know he's a call. I know he's 51 now, but as of a couple years ago, Bartolo was still pitching, I believe, in, like, Dominican leagues for fun once in a while. And he was still, like, in his late 40s. He was still throwing strikes.
Covino
Just one of those guys. Yeah.
Rich
So, hey, Bartolo, you demand, but let's get our contestant. Danny G's got all the lines lit up.
Danny G
Yeah, I was answering all these lines. You guys had to have brought LeBron into the conversation. Right? 28, five and five.
Rich
I mean, for. For his age.
Covino
I'll bring it up by saying this. Of course, he took the team deep this year. Right. And it was a crazy season.
Danny G
Not deep enough.
Covino
But did you see how ratings dropped almost 40% after the Lakers?
Danny G
Yeah, there's a. There's a stat going. Yeah, there's a stat going around saying 38%. I couldn't find the source on that, but we've seen that floating around on social media.
Covino
But it still goes to show you, the old guy still has that star power for sure. Because once the Lakers are out, people aren't as tuned in as they were.
Rich
But not only the star power. When Danny talks about how we take for granted, we're going to look back one day and be mad at ourselves for not giving LeBron James enough credit. I get it. There's people that are going to hate on him regardless. But everyone loves to glorify Michael Jordan. Rightfully so. You know, the goat, Michael Jordan, six NBA titles. You know, sneakers, Air Jordan, everything. Right. Space Jam. The world loved Michael Jordan. Be like Mike Gatorade. But by the time he played for the Wizards, that was like LeBron, like, five years ago. We make it seem like Michael Jordan came out of retirement when he was, like, 50. Michael Jordan played for the Wizards in his 30s.
Danny G
Yeah. And there were no expectations for Michael Jordan to win.
Covino
But again, it's also a different time. At the end of his career, conditioning wasn't what it is, but we can't hold it.
Rich
We can't hold LeBron James to an absurd standard for what he's doing at 40. When Michael Jordan looked like ass in his 30s.
Covino
True.
Rich
What are we doing with that?
Covino
He was an older. An older 40. Yeah. So I think we stalled enough, maybe, people. Yeah, a little. A little confused.
Danny G
I got the contestants here. Let's start with John in Montana. All right, John, you're up first. Trying to win A cnr. Swiggy, wait for your. Your very intelligent music here. That's gonna back you.
Rich
Sounds good.
Danny G
All right, let it. Let it.
Rich
Let it rip.
Danny G
Let it simmer here for a sec. All right, go for it.
Covino
Go, go. Remember, be nice to someone who has access to.
Rich
Oh, man.
Spot
See, honestly, I already forgot. I don't know it verbatim.
Covino
I caught it, though. I saw where he got it wrong. But thanks for the try. Try again next time.
Danny G
Thank you, John. All right, Mark in Syracuse is.
Rich
Come on, represent the orange, brother. Let's go.
Covino
Hey, guys.
Rich
Hey.
Covino
Okay, ready?
Rich
Yeah.
Danny G
Yeah.
Rich
Always remember to be nice to anyone.
Danny G
Who has access to your toothbrush.
Rich
Oh, yes.
Danny G
Andy even did it in Big Mike's voice.
Rich
Did you notice that? I love that.
Spot
You know what?
Covino
Koozies, too, because he did a mic impression, which was great. Great job. Thank you, man.
Danny G
Great job. Mark, we're going to mail out a C and R Swiggy to you there in the queue.
Covino
The previous caller forgot always. He just said remember. Yeah, and switched him around, I think. Always.
Danny G
Let's hear the guy who doesn't run this place's version.
Covino
Always remember to be nice to anyone.
Rich
Who has access to your toothbrush.
Covino
Nice. That's great words of wisdom. Thank you, Mike, and thank you for playing along. And if you want to qualify for Swiggy, just say something nice. Apple podcast. Follow, rate and review. Leave a review. Say something nice and you qualify. But we're always giving away prizes here on the show. Thanks again, guys.
Rich
No doubt. All right. Hey, Coming up, we got midweek major what's going on in the world of sports and entertainment? Some of your headlines spot breaks it down. We let you know if it's mid week or major news. That's next right here on FSR.
Covino
Can I tell you about Travis Matthew? Travismathew.com I really like the T shirts now that the weather's starting to break. Rocking those T shirts. That light blue one I had on the other day. Oh, and it feels so nice. Your first layer, your only layer. Built for movement, made for style. The new tees keep you up no matter where you're headed. And that MLB Collection, they got MLB Collection T shirts, too. We're talking quality, guys.
Rich
I got a sweet Mets one. As I watch Juan Soto.
Covino
The only thing weak about it is that it says Mets, but other than that, ooh, real nice.
Rich
I'm going to wear mine tomorrow. If Juan Soto hits three home runs and three straight at bats, I'm watching him as I tell you about Travis Matthew, the Button ups are sweet, effortless style. As I said to you, when I wear any button down from Travis Matthew, they're, they fit right? They're not like bagging. Like, you know, sometimes a. A button down could make you look bigger. This makes you look slender.
Covino
I button up, bro. I don't know about you.
Rich
You button up, I button down. They got great shorts. They got versatile shoes. Like I said, they're not the sneakers. Not.
Covino
You don't button down your look. You button up your look, bro.
Rich
I take a button down when I'm feeling loose, bro.
Covino
It's about moving on up.
Spot
Okay?
Covino
You're bringing me down.
Rich
You're getting stuffy. I'm getting loose.
Covino
Yeah, right. You think so?
Rich
All right, well, hey, travismathie.com you want 20 off? Sign up for the email and it's that simple. Again, travismathieu.com 20% off. Just sign up for the email.
Covino
Hey. Hey. We're back. We're live from Fox sports radio studios Covino and Rich. And 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.
Rich
What?
Covino
Tire rack. Tire rack dot com. The way tire buying should be. And now here on the CNR show, Fox Sports radio, it's time for midweek major Covino and Rich gets you over.
Danny G
The middle of the week with midweek major.
Rich
Oh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines.
Covino
And topics at the fellas.
Rich
And it's like the kids say, that's so mid week.
Danny G
Definitely major CNR scoring midwee major. Would you look at the clock? I don't even have to go fast because they've almost given you too much time.
Spot
What am I gonna do with all the sides? It's pressuring like 10 minutes. I only got a couple stories.
Danny G
You hear the horns. That means you have made it to the middle of the week. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of the segment, we like to roll the two big red love dice over there in the main studio.
Covino
I just rolled seven, baby. Seven out.
Spot
Seven out.
Covino
Yeah, buddy.
Danny G
All right, now time for a rich roll.
Rich
Getting ready for our our show's convention in Vegas or what?
Covino
A ritual is almost a Rick roll.
Danny G
What'd you get over there?
Rich
Nine oh, nine.
Danny G
Oh, show off. All right, that means, is it ritual.
Rich
When you click on a link and it's just me like, hey, guys, that.
Danny G
Means Miles Davis gets the first take. Mile Davis, ladies And gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Blume, where he just got back from Scotch Plains, N.J. spotty Bo.
Spot
It's no longer my home. It's sad. All right, I'll start with the serious one. So new footage has emerged in the incident of the Pittsburgh Pirate fan falling onto the field during last week's game at PNC Park. There's actually an angle from behind that shows Kevin Mark, what is his name? Jumping up in excitement just like you thought and the momentum curling him overwards. He lands on his belly like his midsection lands on the railing and then he continues used to tumble over. So the 20 year old former college athlete suffered a broken neck, broken clavicle and broken back from the 21 foot fall. He since commented on the incident saying he's got a long road to recovery. Has thanked everyone for the support over the last week. They raised about $50,000 I think in a gofundme. Also took his first steps on Monday since the incident. So yeah, little update midweek or major.
Rich
I'm going to go major because this guy could have very well died. And this has happened happened at ballparks before. There's tragedies that have happened in NHL arenas, baseball stadiums. You know, a puck hit someone, someone falls out of the stands. Yo, he landed on his neck, broke his neck. And you know, it could have been tragic the fact that he took his first steps. Yeah, it could have been tragic. It was not.
Covino
Who he turning into Trump or what?
Rich
What's going on? Did that was a Trump impression. Did I say that?
Covino
Because he kicks into it.
Rich
That's not true. I said it could have been tragic.
Covino
Could have been tragic. It could have been.
Spot
No, it was the most, the most tragic I've ever seen. So tragic.
Rich
I think it could have been very tragic. But it was. It ended up being a story where the guy's walking again. The end.
Covino
All right, well, I actually agree Rich.
Rich
Major, buddy. Definitely major.
Covino
Hit it again. Because I agree it's major and I think there's going to be major repercussions like how do you prevent this from happening moving forward? Just like MLB made the adjustments with the netting around the ballpark, they're going to have to do something.
Rich
I disagree.
Covino
Because all he did when you see it, it answered the question of did he try to jump? Did he fall over? Was he that drunk? What happened? When you see this clip and I totally implore you to check out the clip because it's not a gruesome clip. If you see the still image, it Looks like he's trying to climb the fence. It does, but what he does is he holds on to the bar, the railing, and he, like, leaps with his.
Spot
Legs almost like a frog.
Covino
Like a leap. Leapfrog. He leapfrogs in enjoyment and jubilee. And as a result, because he's so drunk, he falls over. They can't allow that sort of thing to happen ever again. I'm happy to hear he's all right. I don't know if he's gonna make a full recovery. A broken neck, I don't know how similar that is.
Spot
I mean, it's. Yeah, it's just gonna take time. There's no. I believe there's no paralysis.
Covino
I'm glad to hear that. So very major that we could maybe learn from this horrific mistake.
Rich
But I don't think they're gonna change anything in ballpark. Because the reality is, Kavino, not many people jump, as you said in Jubilee, like that. Like, you jump and cheer. They're not gonna put big barricades and walls up. Because without going for foul balls, though, people fall from the rafters at ballparks, like, multiple times per year.
Covino
It feels like both legs and both knees were, like, up in the air. He jumped in such a way where he had no balance and moved forward.
Spot
I feel like I have a mild fear of heights, but anytime I'm in the upper deck, like, or in the upper tier nosebleeds of any sort of. Of stadium or arena, I always, like, have that nervous sinking feeling in my stomach, like butterflies in my stomach anytime I get close to the edge. Because I feel like you could be.
Rich
Like that fat woman that fell on Reggie Jackson and Naked Gun. Yes.
Covino
I would also imagine the angle.
Spot
The angle is so. You feel like it's so easy to fall.
Covino
Major news for the Pirates as an organization as well, you know, because they would not want to hear terrible news. They're going to be. Don't worry.
Danny G
Worry.
Covino
Yeah. But still happy. He's all right.
Spot
All right. Well, you know what? We'll stick in ballparks. So if you're a Milwaukee brewers fan and a hot dog enthusiast. Rich, I know you're a hot dog enthusiast. You're in luck. So, last week, the Milwaukee brewers officially launched the Hot Dog Club. I don't know if you heard about this. We all know how expensive hot dogs can be at a game. Well, for the low price of 59.99, you're entitled to one free hot dog for every Milwaukee Breweries regular season home Game as of May 2, available for purchase at the American Family Field. So the membership also comes with an exclusive hot dog trucker hat hot dog club trucker hat member only experiences and the top dog recognition if you consume the most hot dogs redeemed. I saw. I think I did the math correctly. There's. That's a potential of 68 hot dogs left in the season.
Covino
Well, Rich, as the president of the weenie Club, how do you feel about this?
Rich
I think this is major news. I think it's a great deal. When you think about Dodger dog and dog, you know, not cheap.
Covino
They're not cheap.
Rich
So I think 60 bucks. I feel like 60 bucks is four hot dogs, five hot dogs. So if you could have unlimited and you get a hat, you get. Oh, you got a hat. And you get a hat. Like you said.
Covino
I mean, it's shaved like a stupid hot dog. I bet you it's a great hat.
Rich
I think it's a hat I would.
Spot
Wear shaped like a hot dog.
Covino
I think it's stupid. Honestly. This is so weak. Okay, Hot dog clubs, like a fat guy club. Who wants to be in there? Also, I want to say that it's. Studies say that you lose 30 minutes of your life for every hot dog. So, I mean, now you're just, like, gluttonizing like you're Joey Chestnut. Relax. Enjoy the game. All right, great. One hot dog's enough.
Rich
How is Joey Chestnut still alive if that's true? I just think. Well, he doesn't keep it down.
Spot
Negative. 35 years old.
Covino
Yeah, I just think one hot dog is enough.
Spot
All right, good.
Covino
Right, you guys, something to say about that hot dog?
Mike
I was just gonna add on to it. Some guy went and wanted his hot dog, and they charged him.
Spot
The cut me off. I was gonna add that on. That's why the story was in the news. But, yeah, now they have since fixed that error. So now it's actually just 59.99 for your hot dogs. All right. Well, we mentioned Tom Brady on Impulsive podcast earlier. Another thing he mentioned continues to express regret over his Netflix roast. I know it's been about a year. It actually happened last May. And appearing on Logan Paul's Impulsive podcast, he said that his kids were very upset over some of the jabs made at his expense, which ruined his overall experience on the roast. He said immediately following the roast, he was, like, on cloud nine. Really enjoyed it. But the things flipped the next day when he talked to his kids. His kids basically said, like, why would you go on stage and let people do that? Like, what was the point of that. So that really soured the moment for it. He really. He's mentioned this in the past, but even a year later, still regrets it. So midweek or major?
Rich
I think it's mid. I'll tell you why that's okay.
Covino
That's so mid.
Rich
We've seen roast before. What did he think was going to happen? I mean, he. He said one rule. Don't talk about Robert Kraft's, you know, massage stuff. Right. That was the one rule. Besides that, did you think people weren't going to talk about your ex wife and the jiu jitsu guy and Bill Belichick and you. You got what you thought you were going to get. And again, he left. Until you realize sometimes as a parent, you may not care, but your kids care. And that's where it hurt him. Right? I mean, like Kavina, how many times have you thought, like, who cares? Then you're like, well, my daughter does.
Covino
Right. That's why I think it's major. As a parent, I can relate. It was all fun and games until they didn't get it. So I don't think Tommy. Tommy did anything wrong at all. Maybe should have discussed with his kids ahead of time, but they grew up in a culture where maybe they don't get it, where bullying's mean and they don't understand the purpose of a roast and they don't see the fun in it when it's at their dad's expense. So I just think it's a generational disconnect. And for that reason, I do feel.
Rich
Bad about it, like, almost, dad, why would you stay up there and get bullied? Not realizing, well, that's what people do.
Covino
We've been doing it for years, and they're like, we don't get it.
Rich
It's a sign of love. All at the same time, busting chops like, yeah, kid just may not understand.
Spot
In the ongoing Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson Hudson saga, Hudson subtly firing back at haters who are saying she's a distraction to the legendary NFL coach. So after that awkward interview, which is just lingering in our minds, Hudson, this is the way she's doing it. And in 2025, this means something. She's been reposting or liking a bunch of comments that support her and Bill, mostly directed against Barstool's Dave Portnoy, who leaned into the clip saying that the interview and moment was very awkward for the coach. She also reposted a clip of RG3 calling her a distraction. Kind of her way of just acknowledging that, like, she's not a distraction. So may not be making outright comments, but this is the way she's speaking back. Midweek or major sort of over the story?
Rich
I'm gonna say mid because I'm not saying it's the story you shouldn't have brought up. I just think I'm so over it at this point. I have a better question for everyone in the room now. You know, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to. But what if you found out there was a like elite onlyfans of her and Bill? Bill, are you watching? Could you take a picture for you.
Covino
To be thinking about it?
Spot
I mean, I used to go to. What was that? Rotten dot com. I used to go to that website.
Covino
Yeah, why not?
Rich
But if there was like, oh, my God, a leak of Bill Belichick and her. Are you clicking on the link?
Covino
I mean, I often visit Lemon Party.
Rich
Stop it. No, no, no.
Spot
Can't say that.
Rich
Switch it.
Covino
No, I wouldn't. Okay, just ask.
Danny G
I don't know.
Rich
We'll see.
Covino
Yeah, probably not. I would have to say this is a mid story. It's still a huge story. People love talking about Belichick, but I want to make it clear that, you know, she's angry with Dave Portnoy. I think he handled it pretty well. He said, I know them. He's a super fan of Bill Belichick and his legacy. He's one of the biggest Patriots fans we know. He goes, I know Jordan personally. He didn't say anything bad. He just said that. But that moment was off. How could you not?
Rich
Gotta call spade a spade.
Covino
Charles Barkley said the same thing. You know, hey, I know them. It was weird. Like, he just commented that it was awkward. So Dave Portnoy just in a lot of news this week, actually.
Rich
He's got his own things to deal with.
Covino
Yeah, he's got his own things going on. He just said he thought it was an awkward moment.
Rich
Yeah.
Spot
I'll squeeze in one more. So, you know, we all know the drama surrounding Shador Sanders in the NFL draft, slipping all the way down to the 144th pick. Well, one fan didn't take it too well and identify. Georgia man is suing the NFL for $100 million, citing emotional distress he was forced to endure while watching Sanders endure the slide. So he's distressed over watching Shador Sanders, bro, being distressed.
Rich
This guy gets.
Covino
Wait, hold on.
Rich
Gets a dollar. I'm retiring.
Spot
Oh, he's not going to. The 55 year old self professed Colorado football fan filed a suit last week claiming NFL owners were colluding with each other not to to draft and saying that they can't get away with it. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. It has to stop. But the man is apparently representing himself so we know if he's gonna take on the NFL lawyers. I don't think this is gonna work out anyway.
Rich
Midweek or major Weak and not major. It's weak. Nothing about it anything other than the week. The end.
Covino
The weakest actually. I hate the story. I hate this guy. You're emotional damage.
Rich
Thanks, bud. You know what I think is also interesting as we go to DB for an update. How often do you hear about a 5th round draft pick? Them announcing what number they're going to be wearing. That shows you this Shador Sanders hype. People want to see what happens.
Covino
Top three selling jerseys in the draft.
Danny G
He's moved up since we reported on that list. He's now the number one 2025 draft pick jersey.
Covino
That's crazy. So that's pretty impressive. Good for him.
Rich
Db, let's go to you for an update. Thank you, Spot.
Mike
Yeah. And just with that what the Browns did and some other teams do this as well, they listed all of their rookies numbers. So that's how we knew that Shador Sanders was going to wear 12 and Dylan Gabriel was going to wear five. The big news in the NFL today, nothing about jersey numbers. It's about a trade. Cowboys sent wide receiver George Pickens or I should say acquired George Pickens in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers get a third round pick and the teams also swapped fifth and sixth rounders in 2027 as part of the deal. George Pickens now a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Jaguars today released wide receiver Gabe Davis after just one season. Warriors guard Steph Curry out of week with a hamstring strain tonight. Chris Stop Porzingis is available for the Celtics. No Sam Houser. Those the forwards out with an injured ankle. It's game two of the Knicks Celtics Eastern Conference semifinal series. It tips off at the top of the hour. Knicks up one game to none. Nuggets up 10 on the Thunder with game two tonight in Oklahoma City at 9:30 Eastern Time. Day baseball and it's a final in the desert.
Rich
Hitch reached for and poked towards second. It eats up Acuna, but he settles.
Covino
Down and throws to first in time.
Rich
For the out ball game. Mets win it and win the series behind two home runs from Juan Soto. A whole bunch of late insurance. They beat the Diamondbacks 7 1.
Mike
Mets Radio Network on the call. Mariners rally get a 65 win against the A's today in Sacramento. Giants stop the Cubs 3 1. Cardinals playing the Pirates 5 nothing. Astros 91 victory against the Brewers. Guardians outscored the Nationals 8 6. Danny's Dodgers leading the Marlins 3 nothing right now in the seventh in Miami. Utah Hockey Club will become the Utah Mammoth beginning next season. And then the Champions League semifinal PSG topped Arsenal 31 on aggregate. They'll face Inter Milan in the Champions league final on May 31st. Guys, back to you.
Rich
Yeah. Thank you, buddy boy. You know what? People are not talking enough about Mets 1 today. But you know, Yamamoto, Max Freed, some really great low eras. Kodai Senga, who missed most of last year for the Mets. Senga, their ace, missed most of last year. Not a factor at all. His ERA after today's win, 1.16.
Covino
Wow.
Rich
Like so.
Covino
Yeah, you're right.
Rich
He's back to being the Mets ace. And that's.
Covino
Wow.
Rich
Have you heard one person mention Senga?
Covino
No, just you.
Rich
Yeah, see, they go. All right. Hey, we got more Cavino and Rich Senga, super fan, right here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, cnr, Covino, Rich, on Fox Sports Radio Wednesday. Oh, by the way, if you need something to watch tonight, I watch that Conan o' Brien Mark Twain Awards special on Netflix. The Sandman, David Letterman, Will Ferrell. I thought it was really good. And you make sure you remind yourself how much you love Conan o' Brien. I could be wrong. I was. Sam, I feel like you're a Conan. Oh, love Conan.
Covino
Adore him. I think that he was great at the Oscars.
Rich
I feel like your humor is Conanish. Absolutely. Absolutely. And we, we're both pale and kind of have gingerish hair. And he's definitely a redhead, but started out with the bear that, let's just say, touches itself. Remember the, the. Yeah, there's like the perverted bear in the crowd.
Covino
I was a bigger fan of the man with Bulletproof Legs.
Rich
He may have made an appearance. The interrupting guy made an appearance.
Covino
The Gaseous wiener. Yeah, that was a good one.
Rich
I think, you know, a lot of.
Spot
I'll be quick. A lot of comedians kind of have their shelf life. They, they, they're in, they're in Vogue, they're popular, and then they kind of fade away. Conan's sense of humor is like always relevant.
Covino
Agreed, Agreed. I think he's a treasure. I'm happy about that.
Rich
They talk about whether or not he was playing old timey time baseball doing A bid or an interview.
Covino
Like, one of my favorite bits is he went to Ireland on his show. He went back to Ireland for real. And he had a family picture and he was asking all these random people in Ireland and at the pub if they know where he could find the o' Briens. It was a family photo, but it was the o' Brien's and all the people in the family had his face.
Danny G
Oh, man.
Covino
Dude, he's the best.
Rich
I'm with you, honestly, because I know I like Conan.
Covino
Conan.
Rich
Oh, Brian. It was just the mutual respect that it seemed like everyone had for Conan. Like all those heavy hitters are like, yeah, Conan's always the smartest, quickest guy in the room. So props to Conan o' Brien. That's on Netflix. If you get bored of the NBA playoffs tonight, if there's a blowout and you want to switch over to watch something else.
Danny G
There's also one thing is a headline that caught my eye this morning, the four seasons. Have you seen 100% score on rotten Tomatoes?
Rich
It's in my queue when I'm done. I have. I got to catch up on our Friends and Neighbors with Jon Hamm. But when I'm uncaught with that.
Danny G
Yeah, Tina Fey and Steve Carell.
Rich
That looks good.
Danny G
And it's very rare for any show to have a 100% score from critics.
Covino
I was like, Frankie Valli has a show. I had no idea what you're talking about.
Rich
Yeah, the Four Seasons.
Covino
Again, props to Conan. We'll be talking about things you need to watch again on Friday weekend hobnobbing. But right now we're live from the FOX Sports Radio studio. Remember to stream our show all Fox Sports Radio shows on the new and improved iHeartRadio app search fox Sports Radio Stream us live. Covino and Rich and preset at number one. You could make presets now on the iHeartradio app. So tomorrow on Tomorrow show, old school when 50 hits, you throw it back on the Thursday. But Rich, before we say Reverend Archie.
Rich
Baby, what do you got?
Covino
What's your most prized possession? And I ask you this because there was a story about my bike. One particular, one particular baseball card, by the way. Baseball cards popping. Yeah, we haven't seen a boom of baseball, baseball cards like this since the mid-80s.
Rich
Two things I, I made the peewee reference. My bike.
Covino
Yeah.
Rich
That bike sold for $125,000 in auction.
Covino
Yeah.
Rich
To tie it all together. And I posted a video of my kids. I did that trend last night where you have your kids Finish the like.
Danny G
The old school phrase good video.
Rich
And you can see while my kids are answering, my son's going through his baseball card book because they're watching.
Covino
So let's take you back to 86, probably your primo days of collecting, right? 87ish wood borders, baby. What would be your prize collection? Your prize card because there was a card so highly coveted that it needed police escort through Denver.
Rich
I saw that.
Covino
Yeah. So there was a whole Brinks truck and police squad and motorcycles worth 40 million dollars. They were protecting a 40 million dollar card owned by a Denver attorney, a private collector in Denver just to be put on display. But again, this card, so valuable. It was a police escort and it was the Mickey Mantle rookie. But again it was graded. So opposes like a lot of questions like for fun, can you imagine if you had anything even remotely as valuable where you need police escort? The most rated thing and valuable thing I have was Conseco's rated rookie in 86. It also posed a question like when, when you have a good card, is it really worth getting it graded or do you pull what Danny G does and you just buy it graded from the shop? Buy it graded already.
Rich
I think if you have it from your childhood, your only option is to get it graded if you plan on selling it. Otherwise you might be wasting your money to grade if you don't plan on selling it.
Covino
But what makes this card $40 million for real?
Rich
It's like perfect mint, right?
Covino
It says perfectly mint and it's graded, you know, high. It's an official graded card.
Rich
$40,000,000 if you had a lottery ticket. I know there's some states that make you claim your name and tell you who it, you know, some you could do it anonymous, some you could have someone else claim it. There are states, I think California is one of them where you would actually have and be like Dan, you know, you know, Danny Grottio.
Danny G
They announce it.
Rich
You have to announce your name. Would you, would you hire someone to like escort you with that ticket? Would you just put in your pocket like if you had a hundred million dollar mega millions ticket, Are you just putting in your back pocket and like driving to the lottery station, you at.
Danny G
Least find your neighborhood Debo yo guard me. Give them a thousand dollars to guard you for a day. Yeah.
Covino
For real?
Spot
Like no, because he's want to cut.
Rich
He's going to want to cut.
Spot
Yeah.
Covino
Like what would be your most valuable item that need require an escort? Like you know, most people have nothing.
Rich
Nothing. Honestly. That's a great reminder none of us have anything. The end.
Covino
That's it. But, hey, hold on to your baseball cards.
Rich
My 86 Mets baseball, signed by the whole team. I do have that.
Covino
You got to see the footage, though.
Rich
All right, well, see you guys manana.
Covino
Until the games tonight.
Rich
Night in Riva. Daby.
Covino
See you in the promised land.
Rich
Goodbye.
