Freddie Prinze Jr.
What's up Federation? It's Freddie Prinze Jr. And wrestling with Freddie is back and we're going all in on WrestleMania 41. From the unpredictable to jaw dropping finishes, this year's mania might have just changed everything. By the way, almost all the matches that we saw looked like real fights. I thought like they were like, yo, we're going hard today, tomorrow we're going to hurt, but we're going hard today because it was like beast mode times 10 out there. Listen to this episode of Wrestling with Freddie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pod.

Danny G
Actually unfollowed you last hour.
Steve Covino
Was it something we said?
Rich Davis
Well, you know what, I love hanging with you guys whether you follow or not. But hey, hit us up at Covino and Rich at Rich Davis at Steve Covino doing it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
Steve Covino
Now. This hour is going to be action packed Pee Wee because, well, Iron Mike stopping by. Our broke Iron Mike. We haven't seen him in a minute.
Rich Davis
By the way, what is that Pee Wee documentary coming out?
Steve Covino
Oh, in June, I believe.
Rich Davis
A couple weeks. Months.
Steve Covino
Soon or may I forget soon. Cnr rocking out. Thank you guys for hanging out again. I'm Steve Covino. Rich is here, Danny G, Sam DB with your updates and spot on the videos. Like Rich said. Please check our videos at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And I do want to say this. Over promise is our bonus pod. You can actually watch it or listen over promised episode 89. We had KFC from Barstool Stop by. Had a lot of fun talking to him. Yeah, bud, how did he meet? I was like, hey, kfc Kevin Clancy, how did you meet Dave Portnoy and Jordan Hudson butted in. She was like, sorry, we're not talking about that.
Rich Davis
We're not doing that.
Steve Covino
But if you want to see again us on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Rich Davis
All right, dude. Guys, I look at all of you and you know what I think? I know I'm going to fit in perfectly. Who said that today? I know I'm going to fit in Perfectly.
Danny G
Shador Sanders correct the mundo.
Rich Davis
That was his first quote about the Cleveland Browns. I know I'm going to fit in perfectly.
Steve Covino
Nice.
Rich Davis
Like Mr. Perfect.
Steve Covino
I like the attitude, positive, like we said yesterday, it's going to work out for everybody. The silver lining is this is the best place for him to be. He has a chance to start here.
Rich Davis
If money's not the issue for Shador Sanders. Right. Which we all feel like it isn't because it'll be a shorter deal, a lower deal. But if. If he really is the talent, he says, isn't it more important to land in a spot where you'll actually get a chance to play? So don't you think the reality is his shot in Cleveland's better than 99% of the other teams. So if anything, it sort of worked out in a weird way.
Steve Covino
No question. No question.
Danny G
Absolutely has a chance to be the starter.
Rich Davis
Yeah. No, no. I mean, maybe New Orleans, if he had gone there, maybe if the Steelers were dragging their feet on Aaron Rodgers. But besides that, very few places where you could with confidence say they would have started. Look at Jackson. Dart got drafted by the Giants, but guess who's starting this year? Russell Wilson. So he's just going to chill.
Steve Covino
You know what sucks about the whole thing? The fact that we're talking about him so much. Cam Ward story gets lost in the mix.
Rich Davis
Right. He may like that, though.
Steve Covino
He may like that, but he's the number one guy. I feel like Travis Hunter, because of his affiliation, did get a lot of shine and you saw a lot of highlights on TV and social media. But what about Shiloh Sanders, too, who signed with the Buccaneers? No one's talking about that. I feel a little sad about that.
Rich Davis
He went undrafted, so I know he's.
Steve Covino
I said he signed with the Buccaneers, so props to him, too. Everybody talking about Shador. But big story, big news, big name and a big statement. I'm glad that he's being positive about it.
Rich Davis
There are certain people that get that attention, whether they like it or not, whether they ask for it or not. You could say Tim Tebow. There have been other guys, you know, of different ethnicities that get that same level of, you know, attention, whether they like it or not.
Steve Covino
Well, you know who gets a lot of attention? Shohei Ohtani. But we're not talking about him. We're talking about Sasaki.
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Shohei Ohtani.
Rich Davis
We're talking about another Japanese import that is certainly a big gift for the Dodgers. The Dodgers, you know, the. The league leader of a star Japanese players. Makes sense Closer to the West Coast. Yeah.
Steve Covino
Easiest flight.
Rich Davis
Easy flight. Winning tradition over the last decade.
Danny G
Yeah. Built in media presence here.
Rich Davis
Right. And when Sasaki was trying to figure out what team he was going to, you know, land with, where was he going to plant his roots here in the States? I find it funny that there's the rumor that toilets had a little factor to do with this.
Steve Covino
I don't think it's a rumor. I found this to be a true story.
Rich Davis
The Dodgers have a fancy new clubhouse. And here's the story. It goes a little something like this.
Steve Covino
Hit it.
Rich Davis
When Sasaki was trying to decide who to sign with and told the Dodgers it would help persuade him if they would install some new Japanese style toilets. Now the Dodgers, who are Japanese star heavy, we're redoing the clubhouse anyway and we're talking like a different shape. Like you've been. If you've been around the world. Not all toilets look like American toilets. It's a different shape. Like, you know, when you go to Europe, it's almost more of a square toilet. A bidet. And the joke, but not joke is that was one of those throw ins and we'll get Japanese toilets with bidets.
Steve Covino
Well, you said it. New state of the art Japanese style toilets with heated seats. That was the request. And he says it sounds like a joke, but it's something that's very serious to him. And I'll tell you this, rich. When I bought my condo, I live in a condo.
Rich Davis
I don't use them.
Steve Covino
Condominiums. Name the movie.
Rich Davis
Come on. I would say name the movie. I know Rocky, Rocky 2 because remember, he started getting money and I only.
Sam DB
Know that quote from you guys I just repeated.
Steve Covino
Be honest, I don't use in Rocky 2.
Rich Davis
Gazo, the, you know, the gambling bookie guy is like, yo, Rock, maybe you should invest in some condominiums. And Rocky goes. To be honest, I don't use them.
Steve Covino
Be honest, I don't use them.
Sam DB
Condiments.
Steve Covino
I don't use them.
Sam DB
I like it bare.
Steve Covino
So when I bought my condo, right, it came with a few things that were there already. There was a sauna there. I was like, oh, cool. And by the way, this is not like an opulent, like I'm some rich guy sort of thing. I guess the guy who lived there before me just had like a special request for a sauna. He needed a sauna. So it was there.
Rich Davis
And a cotton candy machine, right? A cotton candy.
Steve Covino
It was a cotton candy machine.
Sam DB
I was like built into the wall.
Steve Covino
I was like, okay, I guess but.
Danny G
You'Re such a radio guy. You looked at the sauna and you were like, that's going to be a nice studio.
Steve Covino
I turned that into a voice.
Danny G
I know you did.
Steve Covino
A voice recording. That's the truth.
Sam DB
Do you turn the heat on while you're recording people?
Rich Davis
If people want to know if they ever hear. If they ever hear Covino on the rock channels on SiriusXM, just know he records in his underwear with the sun on. I did.
Steve Covino
I soundproofed it and I made it my like voice track studio.
Rich Davis
I could just say, hey, that was Limp Bizkit on octane. Camino's there in his tighty whities.
Steve Covino
There are my chonies playing Papa Roach. But the other thing it came with was a toto toilet. Now I've heard before, I've heard other people talk about how it's a life changer, but it really is. Like if I were to get another bathroom, right? Or you know, work on a new bathroom or buy a new toilet, it would have to be a toto toilet.
Rich Davis
Oh, is this like flying first class and you can't go back?
Steve Covino
Yeah, like, it is one of those things. So I kind of understand. Mind you, I had never used a bidet in my life. I didn't even really know what it was. I never had seen one. So when I moved into this place and it had all this in one toilet, you know, it's a one stop shop. I don't think I could go back. So I completely understand. I mean, Kamino Saki's request.
Rich Davis
He's so spoiled when he goes to the bathroom here at work. That's why he sits in the sink and he grabs the faucet.
Danny G
Seriously Rich. This reminds me of Jon Hamm's new series. There's a prototype toilet in there that one of his friends vomits into.
Rich Davis
The special. The special. He's like, that's a proto.
Steve Covino
No, that's a prototype. So Sasaki had this bathroom request and we ask you because he says, look, it sounds like a joke, but it's very serious to him. Maybe he needs to feel extra fresh, extra clean. Good about, good about life when he takes the mound. Hey, whatever keeps him happy, I think you should invest in when you're investing so much into these players. So we ask you, based on his request, what's your Sasaki request? What's your green Eminem?
Rich Davis
I know you hate Juan Soto now because he left the Yankees, but wasn't one of the rumors that they didn't want to give him the sweet that he wanted. And they're like, we didn't even give Jeter that.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Or something.
Steve Covino
I think that was true. I think the rumor was that there was a scuffle with some security. I don't think there was any truth to that, remember? But I think there was truth to the fact that they were going to make him pay for the sweets the same way they made other people pay for the sweets, but a discounted rate, and that rubbed them the wrong way. So everyone catered to him with the Mets, and they made it happen. So is there something that if you could, you would request at your job, at your occupation, that you just can't go back on now? What's your toilet?
Rich Davis
I mean, as I. As I see the headline on FS1 right now, Jimmy Butler on the Record. I don't like Dylan Brooks. Jimmy Butler's a big coffee guy. Playoff Jimmy. I think my only request, like, and Danny, you've seen me.
Steve Covino
We're.
Rich Davis
I'll be honest. Sometimes I think Kavino Rich a little too easy to work with. We're very agreeable. But if we're an event, I really do want a nice cup of coffee. I cannot stomach, like, terrible kitchen coffee at, like, an office. So the only thing I can. It's not good, Sam, is it?
Steve Covino
But what are we talking about?
Rich Davis
I'm sorry.
Sam DB
I was just clearing my throat.
Steve Covino
Here's two things you could keep in your back pocket, though. Let's say you're. You're working a business life, and every once in a while, people, you have a meeting. Hey, is there anything we can get for you? We came up with two answers. Whatever the local sandwiches. Rich and I did something recently in Philly, and they said, hey, can we get you anything? We should have said, a Philly cheesesteak would be cool, right?
Rich Davis
Because they were cool with that.
Steve Covino
Have been.
Rich Davis
They were admin. When we did that thing with Dallas Goddard, right? They were like, do you guys want anything in particular? And we were too, like, no, no. Well, whatever you guys have. And now I'm thinking we should have been, like, should have said it.
Steve Covino
And it's not a big request, right? So, like, wherever you are, I'm sure they're known for something.
Danny G
Set them across a bridge for cheesecake.
Steve Covino
Throw it out there.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Covino
Now, that was a Diddy move, right? Don't do anything Diddy did.
Danny G
Rich has done other Diddy moves, so.
Steve Covino
I mean, allegedly, I would say that's something to keep in your back pocket. Whatever that city's known for, just throw it out there. They asked you, and you're always like, yeah, no, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. What's your rider request? And Big Mike said, and I kind of like this one too, because you're always. You're always at a loss. Someone will say something like, hey, can we. Can we get you something? Is there anything you need? Mike said if I'm ever showing up.
Iron Mike Tyson
A bottle of whiskey.
Steve Covino
And I'm like, yeah, that's not a bad idea. Like his personal rider request.
Rich Davis
I think that's a ridiculous bottle of whiskey.
Steve Covino
I could always use it. That maybe like, yeah, whatever you need at home. Like, yeah, I could use some paper towels.
Rich Davis
Now you're just thinking of things that you could.
Steve Covino
Whatever's in my grocery store.
Rich Davis
Now you're just thinking of things that you could take home with you. Yeah, I recently did.
Steve Covino
Well, what's wrong with that? If they're asking, we always play two too. Nice and coy and shy. Like, good.
Sam DB
Just some tap water.
Steve Covino
Yeah, that's it. Tap waters, fine.
Rich Davis
But I think that's the. That's a really good, nice, humble trait so many of us have. But what? Kavino.
Steve Covino
But I don't use any crime in what I just brought up.
Rich Davis
Yeah. Like, if you're doing. And you don't need to be famous or rich or a VP or a boss, if you do an event and someone's like, hey, you know, is there anything we could get you for this event or this work conference or this boardroom thing? You know what? Give a request.
Steve Covino
Yeah. There's Beyonce stories of how crazy her demands were. Gold toilet seats. He always heard rumors about that black toilet paper or whatever she wanted. And then there's the legend of the green M and M. And I think the story goes a little something like this. It was a Van Halen story, right?
Danny G
Yeah.
Steve Covino
Where they requested green M&M's in their backstage trailer. That was part of their rider, as they call it, their list of requests. But it wasn't because they were particular about green M&M's. It was simply to see if people had read their request. Like, oh, we know that they actually listened to what our request was because they gave us all green M&M's. So what is your green M and M? What is your Sasaki Japanese style toilet?
Rich Davis
I remember one time I interviewed Mariah.
Steve Covino
Carey, if you could make this request.
Rich Davis
And she was one of those pains in the asses where they needed certain flowers in the studio for her to feel comfortable, they had to send interns like A florist and be like, we got white lilies to just put around the studio, because that's what Mariah wants. And I'm like, to me, what type of person do you need to be?
Steve Covino
So if you could. If you could let out your inner diva, what would it be to make Dickie comfortable?
Rich Davis
All right, if. All right, can I be like.
Steve Covino
Can I have, like, old school Nintendo RBI baseball, please?
Iron Mike Tyson
Yeah.
Steve Covino
You know, if I'm gonna be here chilling, that'd be cool.
Rich Davis
Mine would be so simple to know if it was inner diva, and I was like, Dan Patrick level.
Steve Covino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
I'd be like, could we get a little Starbucks barista in Fox Sports Radio?
Steve Covino
That would be dope.
Rich Davis
Like, if we went in the lobby here and there was like, a little place where you get like. Like. Like that.
Danny G
What would their hours be, though?
Rich Davis
Oh, just a couple hours run. They could go home.
Steve Covino
You think we want Doug Gottlieb to reap our benefits? Get away here.
Rich Davis
No. That guy could have kitchen coffee.
Steve Covino
Get out. Get off our coffee. But I'm asking you, Fox Sports Radio Nation. I'll save.
Rich Davis
I'll save. I'll save a pumpkin loaf for Rob Parker.
Steve Covino
What would be that one thing that you would go diva about? Like, you know what? That would be kind of cool. I want that.
Rich Davis
It's a good question. What do you got, Sam?
Sam DB
Well, this is actually. Just wanted to go back to the green M and M thing. Wayne's World 2 spoofed that when they. When it was Del Preston, played by Ralph Brown, talking about being a roadie for Ozzy Osbourne. He's like, he only wanted a thousand Brown M&Ms. And it's like, I never knew what that reference was to until I found out it was back to Van Halen.
Rich Davis
Right. The Van Halen green M and M reference would then start that silly rumor that green. Green M and Ms. Make you horny. Do you remember that rumor back in the day?
Sam DB
I learned that from you guys.
Rich Davis
I said that recently around here, and half the people at Fox Sports never heard that. I'm like, you don't know the whole green M and Ms. It's supposed to make you horn, and that's a thing. But it's based on Van Halen. And if you see the M and Ms. And they bring them to life. The green Eminem was a female Eminem with high heels on. So they played into it.
Sam DB
Is it like the green dye? Maybe that makes you just. It's an aphrodisiac.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Covino
It gets you hot, gets you Steamy.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Covino
So it's just sort of a question we pose to you, something to think about. If you were in this position of Sasaki importance, what would be your request? Well, to make you feel comfy, can I tell you?
Rich Davis
I'm going to tie it all together. We saw this with Steph. Why did Steph sign with Under Armour and not Nike? Attention to detail, Right? Like, remember Nike said his name wrong and he said, you know what, I'm going to take a chance with this new company, Under Armour. They're newer.
Steve Covino
I don't know. I feel like Under Armor slipping though.
Rich Davis
Yeah. But I'm saying I feel as though when it comes to these things, paying attention to detail and then if you're on the receiving end of it, hey, there's no harm in making a request unless you're so diva ish that it's unbelievable.
Danny G
Do you know Bryce Harper?
Steve Covino
I have a diva ish request.
Rich Davis
I don't know. I don't know how. I don't know how real this is. I want to hear your diva request.
Steve Covino
I don't know if I should even say it.
Rich Davis
I don't know how real this is. Someone could fact check me. Later during free agency, Bryce Harper talks about how he actually was considering. This is before. They were terrible. The Chicago White Sox, they were like the. Apparently was like a team that was on his list even. But ownership like canceled the meeting one too many times. And Bryce Harper's like, yeah, but imagine that. Like, imagine you had the opportunity that you were on Bryce Harper's list.
Steve Covino
Oh, Bryce Harper's missing out on those sweet Chicago Bulls inspired city connect jerseys.
Rich Davis
And 40 win seasons.
Steve Covino
Yeah, yeah.
Danny G
It says Harper was reportedly considering signing with the White Sox in 2019, but the meetings were canceled when Reinsdorf, the team owner, skipped a schedul meeting while Harper said the Cubs were his top choice. The White Sox were a team that called him. And Harper mentioned they were one of the better meetings he had.
Steve Covino
Here's another way to look at this. Sometimes you're in a negotiation, right? Let's say you're in a contract negotiation and your boss or employer isn't budging on anything. There are certain things and it could be anything. Like, dude, you could be paying for a service and they're not willing to come down on price. I always try to get something extra just to make me feel better about it. It could be a car. Dude, you're buying a car. You know what I say? Really? You're not going to budge on the price? Can I get free Car washes. And I swear to you, that's worked.
Rich Davis
Kavino goes to the dealership to get a free car wash. Remember, Like, Larry David goes back to get the free licorice on curb.
Steve Covino
Dude, this guy, one time a guy wouldn't bend, right? And I'm like, I'm not. I'm not able to negotiate here. Give me free car washes. We got a deal.
Rich Davis
And the guy's like, free car something. Free car washes. Kavino's like, yeah, you have a car wash here at the dealership, right? And the guy's like, yeah, all right, sure. Free car washes. Cavino would go to the dealership and.
Steve Covino
Be like, coffee, I take an apple. I'd hang out. I swear to God, I did it. So, like, what is that one thing that you would say? All right, fine, throw this in there.
Rich Davis
What's your diva one?
Steve Covino
I have a real diva ish one. I don't even know if I should say, but when I pull up to this building every day, there are these old signs that aren't even illuminated to the building with shows that don't even broadcast out of the studio.
Rich Davis
Oh, yeah, the signs on our building.
Steve Covino
Signs on our building say weenie in the butt, Bartlett and Gromit. And, you know, whoever.
Rich Davis
What is it? It's. It's like, what are the signs outside our building? It's like Casey Kasem, Steve Harvey and like, Seacrest or something else, right?
Steve Covino
I mean, Delilah and they're prominent, whatever. But none of which broadcast from the studio. Let's say we were in negotiation with Fox, and Fox, like, sorry, that's all we can do.
Rich Davis
I want to sign.
Steve Covino
Well, what's my Sasaki toilet? And I would think about it. I say, you know what, guys?
Iron Mike Tyson
Fine.
Steve Covino
If you want to sign us for meatballs, throw in a sign outside and light it up if that's going to get the deal to happen. I feel like I got a little something I feel great about. I got my toilet. You see what I'm saying? What's your toilet? What's your toilet? Because that could have been the difference maker. Other clubs were like, yeah, sorry, we don't do total toilets. Some people said, yeah, no problem.
Rich Davis
Some players in the past have said they've signed with teams because something as simple as the owner's wife or someone took their wife out and treated them nice.
Steve Covino
What's your request? What's your toilet? Tweet us your answers at covinoenrich, at Fox Sports Radio. Think about it. And now write this down. 8, 7, 7, 9, 9 on Fox. That's our number. The most inclusive, most interactive radio show on the planet.

Steve Covino
I could work on one. Yeah. I'll work on Rich. Yeah.
Rich Davis
Cavino and Rich.

Two nights, non stop chaos, legends, surprises, immobilization, emotions. And some of the best wrestling we've seen coming from wwe.

And I don't mean because she won. She bled for her art. And it always felt like to me, after the Attitude era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes, hey, respect. And they kind of give you that nod, right?
Steve Covino
You go, wow, every one of these.

Steve Covino
I understand Sasaki's request.
Spot
Excuse me.
Steve Covino
Sounds like a joke, but it was very serious to Sasaki. I mean, that's how relationships work when you think about it.
Rich Davis
Keep in mind too, he has to adjust to this west coast Mexican food. That toilet might come in handy.
Steve Covino
Absolutely.
Spot
Hey, there's a lot of great sushi in this town.

Rich Davis
You talked about how last episode we had kfc, Kevin Clancy from Barstool. But if you go back a couple episodes, I want to point out for all the moms and dads that coach, coach ball game was on. And people love that one because, I mean, everyone's gone through those little, you know, things with their kids in the coaching world. In fact, I was so proud of my son yesterday. He got hit by a pitch. And I think we all remember, remember in little League, you get hit by a pitch and for the next month, you're all timid and you're. Every kid goes through it. And I fell for my son because he just kept stepping out, stepping out, stepping out like he was Joe Jackson.
Steve Covino
You should show him the Robin Ventura video, tell him what not to do.
Rich Davis
Oh, yeah, don't charge the mount.
Steve Covino
Don't get punched in the head.
Rich Davis
But my son yesterday, with some bribery for some 2025 Topps baseball cards, I was like, buddy, dad's got a whole box. I promise you you're not going to get hurt. Stay in there. And my son finally got his stroke back. So I'm pumped. He be stroking, but we all been there. You remember that? You ever get. I remember getting hit in the head by a pitch and I got a big head and poor Ball Poor, poor rich.
Steve Covino
Because he wasn't wearing a helmet. They didn't have any to fit him.
Rich Davis
And I just remember there was a, there was a couple weeks where that.
Spot
Ball never wanted to be thrown again.
Rich Davis
You instinctively want to step out every time the ball's thrown. And I think every little boy and girl goes.
Steve Covino
Can I just tell you, you got me on Coach Ball Game. Since he was on our show and I saw a clip he posted this weekend, Coach Ball Game. He told this group of kids the story of Jim Abbott. It made me want to cry. Dude, it was so great.
Rich Davis
He's great.
Steve Covino
I, I gave him a slow clap watching it on social media.
Rich Davis
So Jim Abbott gave him a one hand clap.
Steve Covino
Oh yeah, it was great. It was great. So again we're.
Spot
Come on.
Steve Covino
And guess what?

Two nights, non stop chaos, legends, surprises, emotions, and some of the best wrestling we've seen coming from wwe. We've got takes, we've got questions, and we have a whole lot of love for what these men and women pulled off at Mania. Tiffany Stratton, she earned her Stripes at WrestleMania. And I don't mean because she won. She bled for her art. And it always felt like to me, after the Attitude era, once a wrestler gets cut and you see real blood coming out of their mouth or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes, hey, respect. And they kind of give you that nod, right?
Steve Covino
You go, wow, every one of these.
Rich Davis
Guys is bleeding, bro.
Freddie Prinze Jr.
That's literally like blood, sweat and tears.
Rich Davis
It's all they got is blood.

Rich Davis
Method man.
Iron Mike Tyson
Right up there.
Sam DB
By the way, that was. That was the Highwaymen singing Highwayman. And I passed out a paper to all these to you guys. And they're Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash. Having the simplest writer you could probably come up with. Yeah, can we get some Diet Cokes here and some, some spring water, some fruit.
Danny G
Yeah, Diet Coke, some coffee, couple of fruit roll ups.
Steve Covino
Yeah. Very simple requests. And then you see and hear these other nightmare requests that other people have so much. I don't know. I think being low maintenance is so underrated.
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Steve Covino
Right.
Rich Davis
I think in life find, you know, find the woman that is and the friends.
Steve Covino
You know, I love the friends that just stop by and, you know, they're. They don't need to be catered to. They just come by and hang out. Like that's how, you know, maintenance friend.
Rich Davis
The type of friend where you could. You don't have to think about what you're gonna do or the plan or.
Sam DB
Like, you don't have to have your put on any airs around them, you know?
Rich Davis
Yeah. It's just the ability to just hang.
Steve Covino
Me a friend like Kris Kristofferson. You know What? He requested 12 Diet Cokes. Fruit juice, spring water, iced coffee and fruit.
Rich Davis

Sure, if we have time. Because we also have Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom.
Spot
Mike gets a half hour, and if.
Steve Covino
You get it word for word, you win a prize. If you could recite it the words of wisdom, you win some.
Rich Davis
We're running out of time now, and I feel like this story deserves more attention, but I'll set it up. Maybe we'll continue tomorrow and we'll. We'll continue where we left off. Like the Brady Bunch Hawaii episode. Ooh.
Steve Covino
To be continued.
Rich Davis
Michael B. Jordan. We mentioned him earlier.
Spot
Stud.
Rich Davis
Who rated him the best boxing actor of all time?
Danny G
Entertainment Weekly.
Rich Davis
Damn. Yeah. You know what he is greatest? Creed. I can't argue that.
Steve Covino
Creed is great, man.
Sam DB
What about Russell Crowe? Cinderella Man?
Spot
Pipe down.
Rich Davis
I think Michael B. Jordan's fantastic.
Sam DB
Mark Wahlberg, the fighter.
Rich Davis
You know who's not on the list? Ivan Drago. He shouldn't be. He was just big, but he was a bad boxer.
Steve Covino
The great Jim Lampley on this show who does blow by blow professionally, said he gave the nod to Jake Gyllenhaal's performance.
Spot
Oh, yeah.
Steve Covino
Remember that?
Danny G
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Gyllenhaal got ripped too.
Iron Mike Tyson
Yeah.
Spot
That's southpaw.
Rich Davis
So southpaw. Very good. Good movie.
Sam DB
Yeah.
Rich Davis
Michael B. Jordan is in the number one movie in America right now at the box office with Hallee Steinfeld. It's called Sinners, from what I understand, like a very dramatic horror movie. And there's a very intense love scene. In fact, it gets a little. It gets a little raw to the point where there's teammates and teammates and friends of Josh Allen that are like, yo, out of respect for my boy, I'm not going to watch that movie.
Steve Covino
There's a lot of people saying, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Like, apologizing to Josh Allen. And I gotta ask, the chemistry between his lady and Michael B. Jordan, it's.
Spot
Not just on screen. Like, all the press and promotion they're doing for this movie. They seem like they're so chummy And I'll just leave it at that.
Rich Davis
Well, don't. Don't make stupid rumors.
Spot
I'm not making rumors, but they look like they have great off chemistry as well.
Rich Davis
My question to you bozos. And when I say bozos, the collective you like, everyone listening. Do you have it in you to date someone that's an actor or actress that does this type of stuff, or would it bother you too much? Like, if you're Josh Allen, you're the reigning mvp, one of the best players in the National Football League. But at the end of the day, I know it's acting, but you're still doing the act. Like, he has to watch his fiance, apparently, on top of Michael B. Jordan, this movie in a pretty raunchy way. And I know it's acting, and maybe I'm too immature to understand it because I just think even though it's acting, it's still being done.
Spot
By the way, I'm not a betting man. And I know Josh Allen had a stellar year last year. He was the mvp.
Rich Davis
I mean, how could he have a better year? But what if.
Steve Covino
A better year.
Spot
But I'm telling you, what if the.
Steve Covino
P stands for something else?
Spot
This is the year, I would bet on it, that he wins a Super bowl. Because this, this is going to fuel his fire. This is it. This is what he needed. He needed Michael B. Jordan to go after his girl.
Rich Davis
No one's going after his girl.
Steve Covino
I'm just saying.
Danny G
There's also a video, Rich, that has gone viral recently of one of these premieres where the camera caught her looking at Josh Allen in a way that we all hope somebody would look at us when we were single.
Steve Covino
Listen, we're not saying there's trouble in paradise. We're saying, like, could you deal with that? Because there's also a lot of speculation because Michael B. Jordan's a studly guy.
Rich Davis
Yeah, but I'm. I. They are, I think, arguably one of the coolest couples. Haley Steinfeld, Josh Allen. There's no trouble in Paradise. I'm just asking, could you handle it?
Steve Covino
I will say this. If you have the confidence of a.
Rich Davis
Josh Allen, you should be able to handle.
Steve Covino
You should be able to handle anything. You don't care.
Rich Davis
But the other one you just brought up, Danny G. You and I are both watching your friends and neighbors. I mean, do you think comedian John Mulaney loves the fact that Olivia Munn is all over Jon Hamm and his ham?
Steve Covino
I mean, and he might not love.
Rich Davis
It, but that's pretty intense.
Steve Covino
You know, when. When you're super confident, and you truly.
Iron Mike Tyson
Are confident, it's not gonna bother you.
Rich Davis
All right, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Are even dancey, baby.
Steve Covino
See you in the promised land.
Iron Mike Tyson
Bye.
Rich Davis
Bye.
Iron Mike Tyson
Get your popcorn ready.
