1. Sports Updates

a. NFL Preseason Insights [04:10 – 04:19] Covino and Rich kick off the discussion with recent preseason football highlights, notably the Chargers' decisive 34-7 victory over the Lions. They spotlight quarterback Trey Lance’s performance, who amassed 120 yards and two touchdowns, signaling promising potential despite the NFL season's commencement.

Covino: "The Chargers beat the Lions 34-7. Your boy Trey Lance had a decent game, 120 yards, two touchdowns."

b. MLB Trade Deadline and Twins' Fire Sale [34:08 – 37:32] The conversation shifts to Major League Baseball, where the Minnesota Twins execute a massive fire sale, trading away ten players, including notable names like Carlos Correa, Johan Duran, and Aaron Bader. Covino expresses sympathy for the Twins, highlighting their struggles and the front office's decision to revamp the team amidst potential sale rumors.

Rich Davis: "The Twins wound up trading a total of 10 players. That's more than 1/3 of their active 26-man roster."

c. NFL’s Terry McLaurin Requests Trade [34:14 – 35:59] The discussion moves back to the NFL, focusing on wide receiver Terry McLaurin’s trade request from the Commanders. The hosts analyze potential destinations, including the Chargers, Raiders, Jets, Patriots, Niners, and Browns, while speculating on the motivations behind McLaurin's move.

Rich Davis: "Does this have to be a bluff? Players have bluffed in recent years where they request a trade just to light a fire under the ass of their team."

d. NBA Collectibles Heist from Miami Heat [35:59 – 39:11] A startling revelation unfolds as Covino reports the theft of millions worth of Miami Heat collectibles, including game-worn jerseys from legends like LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, and Dwyane Wade. The theft, deemed the largest of its kind in sports collectibles history, is suspected to be an inside job, prompting federal investigations.

2. Player Returns and Team Transformations

a. The Rarity of Successful Returns [07:02 – 17:56] Covino and Rich engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the rarity and impact of players returning to their former teams or projects.

Covino: "George Foreman stunned the world, knocking out Michael Moorer and even becoming the heavyweight champion again. That's rare."

Rich Davis: "LeBron James going back to Cleveland and winning their first and only title is a perfect example of a successful return."

b. Baseball's Ricky Henderson Example [17:56 – 18:57] Danny G contributes by highlighting Ricky Henderson's multiple team stints, particularly his impactful returns to the Oakland Athletics. Despite bouncing between numerous teams, Henderson's consistent performance underscores his unique ability to revitalize teams upon his return.

Danny G: "Ricky Henderson was traded back to the A's and did big things his second time around. He's a good example of a player who made the most of his returns."

Your chance to win Chipotle worker or WNBA player. But we started off today's show, if you missed anything again, catch the podcast y. We started off this professional gram of ours talking about how we had preseason football yesterday. The Chargers beat the Lions 34. 7. Your boy Trey Lance, your former boy Trey Lance had a decent game. 120 yards, two tuddies. But even though the NFL's back, baseball's winning.

[Rich Davis]

Well, it very well should be. It's August and then the point we.

[Covino]

Were making hasn't been that way in a long time.

[Rich Davis]

No, it's been like a good decade.

[Covino]

The proof was today because normally we'd be talking football and not even a lot of big names were were moved yesterday, but big pieces, so big pieces were traded and I feel like my team did all right. Your team did better, Rich. The Mets. I'm a Yankees fan.

[Rich Davis]

We'll see how it unfolds and unfurls. But I will say Danny G. Sucks.

[Covino]

For you because the Padres made some good moves. They even got nasty Nestor last minute. You saw that.

[Danny G]

I'm worried about that one. Some of the other moves. So hey, respect to them. This is going to heat up.

[Covino]

I feel like the Dodgers own nasty. Oh, wait a second.

[Danny G]

Hey, don't worry. The Dodgers got that call. Dude. So fire.

[Rich Davis]

You know, it's. It's August 1st and the reality is that it should be about pennant races. It should be about how every division except the AL Central is within a couple games. Baseball's popping, baseball's back all the changes over the last couple years have worked. Baseball is winning and and we love it. Some of the trade deadline moves that you got to admire, the Padres getting Mason Miller, the Phillies, as a Mets fan, I hate to say it, Johan Duran, that's a big one. But then again, the Mets upgraded their center field situation. Tyrone Taylor was great defensively, but now you got Cedric Mullins and arguably the Mets have shirt up their bullpen with Tyler Rogers of the Giants and ryan Helsley of St. Louis. So hey, lots of big moves. Bieber to Toronto, Suarez to the Mariners. Again, baseball's popping.

[Covino]

Bam. How many times did we say that today? I know they might be the point, but trade deadline winners, Padres, Mets and Mariners. I agree with Ben Verlander and the losers, losers, Cubs socks and J's. But the other side story, that that was kind of cool or interesting. As a Yankees fan, I hate it. But it's still a cool story. I can acknowledge Carlos Correa going back to his old team because he waived his no trade clause from the Twins. But the Twins, like you said, set up a whole garage. Salem got rid of everybody. He goes back to his old team but now playing third base because Jeremy Pena is at shortstop. So he agreed to do that. And it got me thinking of, well, he's definitely got some juice still. But how many times does that really work where star player leaves a team and comes back and does just as well or better. It's so few and far between because such as life, you left or you broke up or they fired you for a reason and you did it maybe at your job, you did it in an old relationship and you come back and you remember right away why it didn't work the first time.

[Rich Davis]

It's interesting because I can only think of 1. 1. I'm being serious. One great example of second time was better because I'm thinking of guys returning like Griffey Jr. Ended with the Mariners. Tom Seaver went back to the Mets for a second.

[Covino]

That happens a lot. You know, there's guys bookending your career. You started. It's nice.

[Rich Davis]

You know, your boy Tino Martinez had a minute where he came back to the Yankees and had a good month. But it was a good month in the fight game. People come out of retirement, they're not the same.

[Covino]

Manny, Pac Man, Pacquiao just fought and it was a draw. But now he's calling out the recently retired, quote unquote retired Gervonta Davis. But you come back. Speaking of boxing, the one name that comes to Mind, for me, is a boxing name, so I don't know if that's who you got in mind. Mike Tyson, to me, came back, and.

[Rich Davis]

He was not the same.

[Covino]

So we both have one. The thing is, it's so few and far between. When I actually Googled it, like, hey, players that went back to their former club, their old club, it's mostly soccer players that do that. It's the football players that bounce around, come back. We don't see a lot of success when it comes to football, baseball, basketball here in the States with that sort of thing. For me, I'll give you my answer, and this is where we get you involved and we have fun here on the show. Eight, seven, seven, four, the herd. We welcome phone calls, even if you stink. Eight, seven, seven, Four, the herd. Eight, seven, seven, 4. Eight, four, three four, thirty seven. No pressure. Just call, say what's up? Eight, seven seven, four. Eight, four, three Four, three seven.

[Rich Davis]

I have two. I have two.

[Covino]

Well, don't steal.

[Rich Davis]

No, no, no, no, no. I'm definitely not going to steal yours. I have two examples. And yours is a fighter. Yeah, I have two examples. And the question really is, could it ever be better second time around? Could it ever be better reunion style? And I have two examples of how better the second time.

[Covino]

Well, I think we all remember back in 1994, I believe it was 94, at the age of 45, George Foreman stunned the world, knocking out Michael Moore and then had a really great run. Like, he came back right before all of our eyes, took a lot of fights, got the rust out, but it was almost like we saw two different guys. You're like, wait, that's the same George Foreman that was fighting Muhammad Ali. He's back.

[Rich Davis]

Also bald. George Foreman and George Foreman with hair were two different guys.

[Covino]

They're like two different dudes from two different eras. So he came back out of retirement and was just as good, became the heavyweight champion of the world, if not better. Like, he had a great run. He became a successful endorser and became a household name again. He changed his whole image around. I think George Foreman is definitely one of those that, yeah, he left and came back and was just as good, if not better.

[Rich Davis]

Do you want me to give you my two?

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

There'S one that's so obvious, I think, to me and everyone. The second one, I think is equal, even more so. But it's a pop culture example. Coming back home, and it's better. LeBron James goes back to Cleveland, wins their first and only title. That's Your number one answer. Very rarely does a guy go back to where he had previously been, and the Second Time around delivers.

[Covino]

Let's go another round.

[Rich Davis]

I have one more example, and it's near and dear to you, because I think you might say, well, that's tv, Rich. It doesn't count. It does. I think Ralph Macchio and Billy Zapka and the whole cast of Cobra Kai had a better run with the TV series than when you really think about the few movies in the 80s, which.

[Covino]

Is ironic, because what was Johnny Lawrence known for saying, you couldn't leave well enough alone. Couldn't you Couldn't leave well enough alone.

[Rich Davis]

Cobra Kai among the people like us that looked at it as nostalgia. And your kids who love Cobra Kai because they had a bunch of good.

[Covino]

Teen actors, that series on Netflix was hugely successful. So I think.

[Rich Davis]

I think that was a comeback.

[Covino]

That's a good answer. It was a comeback that no one really believed in. Like, ah, come on. And it ended up being just as impactful as the movie, because all the.

[Rich Davis]

Other ones, I get it, like Fuller House or Girl Meets World, they. There's some success there. But I really think Cobra Kai, the success, money and popularity of that Netflix show, believe it or not, I believe was far superior to What, Karate Kid 1 and 2.

[Covino]

Yeah. And how many times in life did you want to get back with a girlfriend or someone in your life? And maybe you did, you realized right away that ended for a reason. At first it's real exciting. At first, it's the greatest, and your prayers were answered. But then you realize, yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't work usually the second time around. So we bring that up because Carlos Correa is back with the Astros.

[Rich Davis]

I have a question for you. Does it have to be on the same project? Meaning on in sports, we're saying, of course, has to be the same team. Like, if a guy comes back to his previous team, very Rarely. Is stint 2 better than stint 1.

[Covino]

How many stints did Billy Martin have with the Yankees? Because they just kept going back to the well with him.

[Rich Davis]

I almost felt like that when I was a kid. In my mind, I thought, Lou Piniella and Billy Martin, we just stood there and Steinbrand had a coin and he flipped. He's like, you now you now you like. I think.

[Covino]

I think he was fired five times. I'm not even joking you.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, I believe he was. When we were kids, I felt like Billy Martin and Lupiniella switched based on the mood of George Steinbrenner Senior can.

[Covino]

You think of any other examples? I have one in life in sports, where they return to the old job, to the old relationship, to the old show, to the old team, and we're just as impactful or more than when they left.

[Rich Davis]

See, it's tough because in entertainment, sometimes when someone is like, sort of gets a little rebirth, it's not the same as returning to the same team. But I thought of a guy that we knew when we were little kids, and I think now he's more popular and totally different. The hair versus bald George Foreman made me think of it. Okay, Howie Mandel. Howie Mandel was an Afro comedian, but.

[Covino]

He never, like, left.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, but I feel like. No, I feel like he reemerged with Deal or no Deal and all the game shows. And I guarantee this, young people.

[Covino]

What are you talking about? He had Walk Like a Man. That was a great movie.

[Rich Davis]

Stop it.

[Covino]

He did Bobby's World.

[Danny G]

Isn't that more like reinventing yourself, Rich?

[Covino]

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Rich Davis]

So that might not apply. I'm just saying, like, to me, I think, like, if you ask Danny, Rich.

[Covino]

Was just thinking he was a different guy with different hair.

[Rich Davis]

I'm saying no. But if you ask Danny G's kids, his stepsons that are in their 20s, they'd be like, oh, hey, Mandel, the bald guy from Deal or no Deal.

[Covino]

Or it's like he had a few chapters. Like, he stuck around long enough to have two different. Completely different looks. But, yeah, George Foreman was out of the sport, man, for well over 10 years. Let me double check that.

[Rich Davis]

You know who's back now? It's not as popular as it once was, but doesn't Jon Stewart host the Daily show again? Yes, not as popular as it once was, but Jon Stewart's as sharp as he has ever been.

[Covino]

Yeah, I guess it's part of the conversation, but, yeah. Is it better than when it was the first time around or just as good? I don't hear people buzzing about that, really late night as a. As a whole sort of thing.

[Rich Davis]

No one really cares, I guess.

[Covino]

So that's. That's the point. Like, what are the Astros really going to get out of this move? I know what the expectations are. They won with Correa. He's a great player. But is that the guy they're going to get on his team? He's still young. Young enough to be rich. One of these answers that we go to in the future, because it's so few and far between, that the love story continues.

[Rich Davis]

I have two examples that the story hasn't been written yet. But I want to. I want you to give me what you think, the odds.

[Covino]

How about Donald Trump?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I mean, he did come back.

[Covino]

And, I mean, his story's not written yet, but he still became president again. That's pretty cool.

[Rich Davis]

That's a rarity.

[Covino]

Yeah, until today.

[Rich Davis]

The market's been great. Don't look at your portfolio this afternoon.

[Danny G]

Hey, Cove, really quick. I was on the phones. I don't know if you mentioned your boy Andy Pettit.

[Covino]

He came back to the Yankees.

[Danny G]

Yeah, they lured him back. Was it 2006?

[Covino]

That was pretty cool because he was with the Astros with. With the Rocket, and he bounced around. He had that, you know, steroid issue, but he. You know what? He squashed that issue, too. And everybody forgave him because he said, yeah, I was just trying to get back. So, yeah, Andy Pettit is a pretty good answer. But again, it rarely happens, man.

[Rich Davis]

I had one and now. Oh, I got it. I was saying this, too, that the story is not written yet. You tell me what you think. Do either of these guys have a chance to bring more glory second time around? Dame going back or Chris Paul going back and being a Clipper? Or are those just like, you know, That's a nice reunion. Do either have a chance to make a bigger impact second time around?

[Covino]

Great answers, Great part of the discussion. Foreman, for the record, retired from 77 to 87. 87. He started to make his. Come back and take these random fights. He was just fighting a bunch of lugs and tomato cans just to get the rust out, like I said. But he came back as a totally different guy. What's up, Danny G?

[Danny G]

Rip, I was thinking about Ricky Henderson was traded to your Yankees from the A's, went back to Oakland and did big things his second time around in Oakland.

[Rich Davis]

Won a World Series second time or third time, whatever. How many times?

[Danny G]

Yeah, it's hard to keep track of his team stats.

[Covino]

Yeah, Henderson bounced around so much and was so impactful always that. Yeah, he's. He's a. He's a good answer for sure, because.

[Rich Davis]

He won that World Series with McGuire and Canseco and Dave Stewart, and you know that. That team that won, he was part of that squad.

[Danny G]

So can you guys even name all the teams that Ricky played on?

[Covino]

Well, started with the A's on the road again. I don't in order. No, but we know he played with.

[Rich Davis]

The Dodgers, the Yankees, A's, Yanks, Dodgers.

[Covino]

I think he played with the brewers.

[Rich Davis]

For a second Mets.

[Covino]

No, no, no. Padres. Padres. I meant to. He played with the Padres for a minute.

[Rich Davis]

The Mets.

[Covino]

The Mets, man, that's a good one.

[Danny G]

Yeah. A's, Yankees. Back to the A's. Blue Jays. Back to the A's.

[Rich Davis]

That's right. He was part of that Blue Jays squad.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Padres, Angels. Back to the A's. Mets, Mariners, Padres, Red Sox, Dodgers.

[Rich Davis]

I was going to say socks. I knew he had to stop there. You know what I would have missed? I know. I can't even picture Ricky in an Angels uniform.

[Covino]

No. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

All the others I could picture, like, him later. Like in a Mariners, but Angels, huh?

[Covino]

So the Korea story is really interesting, but he could be part of this discussion in the future, depending on how he plays as a Yankees fan, I'm not rooting for that, but he jumps right back in there, revitalizes the team and the fans, they're going to be pumped to see him. He's playing a new position. I don't know how that's going to work out, but I think. I think he's got three years on it. So he's still there for another three years. I don't know how the money thing or the position thing's going to work out, but I'm pretty sure he'll be at third and Pena's at shortstop. So, again, these stories are rare, but they happen. And we hear about these things in relationships once in a while. But I think for that to be successful, a decent amount of time has to pass where you're totally different people and you learn from that experience.

[Rich Davis]

No doubt. Well, listen, coming up, we're going to go over Weekend hop, what you need to watch in sports this weekend, and of course, what's streaming, what's new, what you got to check out. And of course, coming up next, we're going to play Chipotle worker or WNBA player. If you could figure out, are these women employees of Chipotle or are they NBA, WNBA stars? You could win a prize. We'll give away some stuff. And if you want in the number again, 8, 7, 7 for the herd. 8, 7, 7 for the Herd.

[Covino]

That's 8, 7, 7, 4, 8, 4, 3, 4, 3, 7. And the game is simple. All you have to do is not lose. That's it.

[Danny G]

Just don't come in last place against the crew and you're a winner.

[Covino]

Yeah. Win a football, a bribery ball, one of our prizes. We'll do a prize giveaway next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Covino and Rich in for Colin on the Herd. Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd, weekdays at noon Eastern, 9am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, FS1 and the iHeartRadio app.

[Covino]

And that's why we have a brand new podcast called Over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in our two hour show. We never get to everything honestly, because this guy is over promising things we never have time for. Yeah, you blubberlips.

[Rich Davis]

Blaming me. Well, you know what it's called Over Promise. You should be good at it because you've been over promising women for years.

[Covino]

Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show and we want you to be a part of it. We're gonna be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it will continue on our after show called Over Promised.

Who cares about truth when the lies more entertaining.

[Angela Rai]

Hey, everybody. I'm Angela Rai, co host of Native Lamp Pot with Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum. Through the lens of politics and culture, we talk with you every week to make sense of this madness. I've been telling Angela, I don't even know how to fight back right now. So what I'm focused on is just looking out for ourselves. That's the truth.

[Covino]

We're having the same debates that American households are having all over the country.

[Angela Rai]

Rest is certainly a form of self care, but if you are watching your full neighbors starve, not be able to pay bills, your rest is selfish. But the thing is, Angela, this is not the mess we created. So I do understand black folks feeling like, you know what, y' all got it.

[Covino]

We're like family, but we disagree all the time. And we love when our listeners chime in.

[Angela Rai]

What would happen if we built our own little Wakandan communities in the rural South?

[Covino]

Tiffany, do not run to no rural South.

[Danny G]

I don't know what you're on.

What our audience is asking is. Okay, fine. You want me to stop resting? What specifically are you asking me to do? Stay informed and take action.

[Danny G]

For sure. Daniel, hang on the line. I'll get your info, okay?

[Rich Davis]

Save this One, we got more Covino and Rich. We're going to do weekend hop knobbing. We're going to talk some mlb, go over some of what you might think are the best moves at the trade deadline. And like I said before, the National League, there's six teams that are within two to three games of each other. If you don't think baseball is on point right now, you're crazy. So we'll do that. But right now, time for the Herd line news. Let's go.

[Danny G]

No, no, no.

[Covino]

Heard on the news. This is the Herd line news.

[Danny G]

All right, fellas, let's start with the NFL. Contract negotiations between Terry McLaurin and the Commanders have not gone the way the star wide receiver was hoping for. So he requested a trade yesterday. If Commander's GM Adam Peters does decide to move McLaurin. NFL.com has listed six teams they think are the best destinations for the two time Pro Bowler, Chargers, Raiders, Jets, Patriots, Niners and Browns.

[Covino]

Danny G. As a Raiders guy, feeling that. Oh, of course, Absolutely right.

[Danny G]

They did draft Betch and that kid from Tennessee. So they have some youngsters there in the wide receiver room. But yeah, to get McLaurin, who, by the way, at the Senior bowl, there's a famous picture of him pointing to the Raider logo that was on his helmet. So at that time he wanted the Raiders to draft him.

[Rich Davis]

I'm just, I'm wondering, like, is this a bluff? Players have bluffed in recent years where, you know, you stop following your team on social media, you request a trade, but then all you're doing is lighting a fire under the ass of your team. So I'm not, I'm not certain he's. He's done with the Commanders. That's, that's my thought.

[Danny G]

They have to pay him.

[Covino]

Wouldn't you want to be part of the Commanders? We talked about the power rankings yesterday. They were ranked seventh according to Ralph Vaccia.

[Rich Davis]

You want to get paid, too.

[Covino]

I get it. But you also want to play for a good team.

[Danny G]

Yeah, pay the man. He's outplayed that last contract.

[Rich Davis]

And Terry McLaren's played for Intel. They got Jaden Daniels. He's had like a rotation of like bunk quarterbacks and still always was an elite guy. So yeah, yeah, he's, he would be a sought after dude, but I still don't think his days in Washington are over.

[Danny G]

Yeah. Or should say he outplayed his first contract in the NFL. All right, let's move to the mlb. You guys have talked a lot about baseball today. Sorry, Minnesota, a Crazy fire sale. The Twins wound up trading a total of 10 players. That's more than 1/3 of their active 26 man roster. Correa, Duran, Bader being the big names, sitting six games under.500. The front office has decided a shake up was necessary. They also wanted to shed salary as there's a good chance that the team will be going up for sale.

[Covino]

Send everything must go sort of sale. Yeah, that sucks for the Twins.

[Rich Davis]

But does it though? I mean, we were talking to one of our buddies that's a Twins fan and he said, you know what? It's when you're stuck in sports purgatory where you're not good enough to win, but not bad enough to lose 100 games. You're sort of just. It's. Yeah, it's. It's the. I think it's the worst place to be. Right? I mean, just think about all the teams that ended up winning World Series or that are good now. Think of how bad the Detroit Tigers were a couple years ago before the Astros were great and, you know, won a couple World Series and made it there. They were terrible. You got to be terrible before you're great.

[Covino]

You can't say. But to really change the culture, don't you usually have to cut the head of the snake, Right. To really make an impact? When the Red Sox had to change things around, they got rid of Garcia Parra. Right. He was the biggest star. And I understand they got rid of some big names, but would it be Rocco Baldelli here? Like, maybe it's the manager. They had to get rid of all the players. Whoa.

[Rich Davis]

I just think that, you see, it's almost like, all right, not working. Revamp.

[Covino]

Nothing against Rocco. I like it. He's a great guy. Bald.

[Rich Davis]

He's Italian. He's Italian.

[Covino]

So I say that respectfully. I'm just saying it's, it's. You don't often see that. So, hey, on the plus side, your Vikings are going to be good this year. So focus on football, I guess. Yeah, for sure.

[Danny G]

All right. A story out of the NBA. Millions of dollars worth of Miami Heat collectibles, including game warn Finals jerseys were stolen from the NBA franchise. They're calling it the largest heist of sports collectibles ever. According to a report, an NBA insider says expensive items were slowly removed from a team vault. This of course leads some to suspect it as an inside job. The Feds began investigating 18 months ago with the stolen game worn Heat jerseys being sold on the black and regular markets over a multi year period. The stolen Items include game worn gear from high profile players like LeBron, Shaq and Wade. As the Heat had this in a vault to you know, save for their teams history like wing of their arena.

[Covino]

Yeah, this is high profile merchandise memorabilia. You know what's gonna happen is guys like Frankie Carbone are gonna come out partying wearing a LeBron James jersey. You're gonna find them in a meat locker like Goodfellas. You got it. Where it's gonna turn up somewhere. It is. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

On on one of your one of your shows you watch where. Who's that guy from Vegas the oh, Ken Golden. Ken Golden. It's gonna collectibles. Golden collectibles. We'll see.

[Covino]

All right.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you Danny G. Well, that's the.

[Danny G]

News and thanks for stopping by the herd lie news.

[Rich Davis]

I was also thinking your dude chumlee, right they someone's gonna try to auction Pawn Stars. Yeah.

[Covino]

So and Rick will offer him five bucks for it or call one of his friends to find the true value of it. Now every Friday on our show, Covino and Rich, Monday through Friday here on FOX Sports Radio 2 to 4 on the west, we do something called weekend hobnobbing. Because look, we're living for the weekend, but there's a lot of people chauffeuring their kids their nose, picking kids around all weekend for travel, league baseball this and that, birthday parties. You know, we got to tell you what you need to watch so you know what's going on when you get.

[Danny G]

That is dangerous.

[Covino]

Friday brings us weekend hobnob. Now what have we said 175 times on today's show? Starting off early in the morning, we said baseball is popping.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, buddy.

[Covino]

Because they're innovating. They made the game shorter, made it fun. So many reasons. Well, this weekend, first ever MLB game played in the state of Tennessee. Tennessee. So it's not a game of horseshoes, it's a game of baseball. Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol, Tennessee Braves, Reds, the Speedway Classic. I'm there for it. I'll check it out. That's cool.

[Rich Davis]

You're doing it. I've seen it.

[Covino]

It looks badass.

[Rich Davis]

I think the the overhead view of how they turn a racetrack into a baseball stadium is pretty freaking cool.

[Covino]

I like it.

[Danny G]

It's on Fox, 7pm Eastern.

[Covino]

Can't wait. In other sports related news or things to watch, UFC Fight Night, Tatsuro, Tyra and Park Hyun Sung. But the co main is Rebecca and Duncan. So some UFC this weekend.

[Rich Davis]

I feel like you're just saying names.

[Covino]

No, I'm not. So enjoy some good UFC fights. And when you're done with the Billy Joel documentary so good called and so it goes that's on hbo. Max, your boy Rich, Marc Maron has a new stand up special called Panicked. So Marc Maron's back doing some stand up stuff. I love a good comedy show. I'll check that out for sure. And let me shamelessly promote our bonus pod. You could watch our show Over Promise. The brand new episode dropped yesterday right on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. It's called Over Promised with Covino and Rich. You can also listen wherever you stream episode 103. We talk about Sophie Cunningham and what she said about Caitlin Clark being the face of the wnba. She said, you're stupid if you disagree. What are some other things you're stupid for if you disagree? We break it down on Over Promised.

[Rich Davis]

All right now in the theater, you've heard about it. It's getting, I believe, 90% on, as you call it, rotten potatoes, rotten tomatoes. The fans, the critics, everyone's saying that Naked Gun with the fans gave it.

[Covino]

80% on the popcorn meter.

[Rich Davis]

Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson. Apparently it is an hour and a half hour, 40 minutes of pure hilarity. You said it earlier in the show when we first heard about it, we were like, really? Come on. You mean Leslie Nielsen's classic Seth MacFarlane's got who? Liam Neeson. They're saying this is the perfect example of be careful to judge too quickly because this is apparently the funniest movie of the year.

[Covino]

I heard a perfect tribute and homage and nod to the original with non stop laughs like punchline after punchline. Seth MacFarlane really did a great job is what we're hearing. So enjoy that this weekend and at.

[Rich Davis]

Home if you want to watch. If you got Amazon prime, which a lot of us do. I don't know how this went into the radar. Danny G. Have you heard of the new War of the Worlds?

[Danny G]

Yeah, we actually talked about it last week on Hobnobbin.

[Covino]

He doesn't listen to, oh, Danny, I'm.

[Rich Davis]

Sorry, I don't listen to you.

[Covino]

He's right.

[Rich Davis]

No, but Ice Cube and Eva Longoria, I happen to be flipping by. I'm like, what's this? Oh, wait, a reimagining of that classic movie. Don't nod your head at me, Spot. You think I only listen to you? I don't listen to anybody. Now, other shows that we've talked about that, if you're not caught up on, stick on Apple tv. For all the golf fans, Happy Gilmore's not the only golfer in town. That's a great golf show. Funny comedy, more of an emotional comedy with you said Marc Maron and Owen Wilson. Stick is on Apple tv and Kavino and I both could get behind Paramount. Plus Dexter resurrection, Dark Passenger, the fact that there's a villain called the doc Passenger. And Dexter's mad about it.

[Covino]

Well, what's so cool about it is it's star studded. Uma Thurman's on the new season. Dinklage, Neil Patrick Harris, your boy from Eric. Stone Street. Yeah. From Modern Family.

[Rich Davis]

Big Kansas fan.

[Covino]

And all the callbacks from the previous seasons. It's so good. Dexter's been a part of our life for like 20 years now. It feels like. And you know what? Every. Every episode has been great so far, so I agree with you there.

[Rich Davis]

Let me give you just a couple things that are new that you might want to check out if you like, you know, creepy stuff. The Son of Sam tapes a documentary about Son of Sam on Netflix. I started watching a show yesterday that. I know it's not new. Let me find it in a second. I'll tell you in a second. But it's.

[Covino]

It's let you find it.

[Rich Davis]

No, I was. Oh, here it is. Lazarus on Netflix. That's pretty damn good. It's like a guy that keeps living the same day over and over. And it's like about a disease or something. That's pretty good. But I gotta ask, have you guys.

[Covino]

Watched Rattling stuff off now?

[Rich Davis]

No, these are all good things. I'll give you one more thing, ass clown. Have you watched any of these train wreck series?

[Covino]

Yes, I have. The one with balloon boys out now. It's great.

[Rich Davis]

Balloon Boy. And there's. There's one about. Remember when all those buffoons stormed Area 51?

[Covino]

Yes, of course. By the way, does everybody remember balloon boy? We all thought it was a little boy in a UFO balloon.

[Rich Davis]

Can I tell you, that was one of the weirdest moments on our show. If you want to take us back then. These guys were laughing so much like the balloon, for some reason I got.

[Covino]

So mad, I cried on the air.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't cry, but I was.

[Covino]

October 15, 2009.

[Rich Davis]

Ryan, Ryan. They were laughing. And I remember saying, guys, guys, there's a kid in that balloon.

[Covino]

You know what?

[Rich Davis]

And then.

[Covino]

And then Spot. Spot was on the ones and twos. And we played up, up and away. And Sid Rich got real serious like, this isn't a joking matter, guys.

[Rich Davis]

So there is a documentary all these years later about the hoax that is Balloon Boy. And I'm done rambling. You're right, Danny. I'll pass it off to you because of this feature.

[Danny G]

Yeah, Covino talked About this is number one now on my watch list. Love is Blind meets the Voice. Building the band.

[Covino]

Dude, so good.

[Danny G]

Allison. She's a blonde with. She's kind of a bully.

[Covino]

She's.

[Danny G]

She makes the show. She's so good.

[Covino]

A nightmare. She's like the. The typical person you don't want to collaborate or work with ever. Every office has one of these, but.

[Rich Davis]

Danny G. Kino has described it.

[Covino]

It's.

[Rich Davis]

Would you agree? It's sort of like Love is Blind meets, like a. A singing show. Right?

[Danny G]

That's what I just said.

[Covino]

It's like Love is One show.

[Rich Davis]

Wait, did you.

[Covino]

Did you just.

[Danny G]

That's how I started.

[Covino]

Is that how you said.

[Rich Davis]

I'm kidding.

[Covino]

Rich was thinking about other shows he could mention. Rich was still thinking about Lazarus.

[Danny G]

And really quick, a standup special I watched yesterday on Netflix. Dusty Sleigh. No. Wears that trucker hat. He's got the long hair, the long beard, wet heat. I love his calm delivery. It's. It's good. You should check it out.

[Covino]

The whole. This is a stand up special. All right, I'll check that out.

[Rich Davis]

I got one more thing. There's a comedy special with a guy when he wears a trucker hat. Dustin.

[Covino]

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[Rich Davis]

I'm kidding.

[Covino]

Dustin.

[Rich Davis]

But I'm gonna tell you, that show Lazarus, you clowns. Oh, it's actually really good. It's into season two. You know what? Can I. Yeah, I'll throw one more.

[Covino]

Into the mix if you're a Momoa fan.

[Rich Davis]

It's his birthday today.

[Covino]

Oh, Happy birthday, Jason Momoa. Honestly, his beard too. This week. Did shave his beard for the New Dude Part 3 has a new series on Apple TV. Or show a movie called Chief of War. Dude. Yeah. About the colonization of Hawaii. So that apparently has some cool things. And if you're into Marvel, either of Wakanda, which is a cartoon. It's an animated series based on a prequel to Black Panther. So any scoop on that? Ryan, I know you're a big fan of that world. A few things. We have 30 seconds.

[Rich Davis]

And yes, I will be watching.

[Danny G]

Thanks.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, do you hear this? A new Wakanda thing.

[Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Have a great weekend. Thank you, Colin, for letting us fill in the last couple days. Catch anything you missed on the pod. Lazarus. Watch Lazarus. We'll see you guys later. Until then, Arrivederci, baby.

[Freddy Prinze Jr.]

Okay. Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their cool rush deodorant, and their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And Degree listened. That doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and they're bringing back the original Cool Rush scent. They're bringing it back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one men's antiperspirant. And it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under four bucks. So try and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself. Hi, it's Colin. I've been around long enough to know quality when I see it. Or in this case, when I taste it.
