Like the guy said, broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio now this hour, Shaq Diesel trivia, giving away prizes, NFL rumors, and the WMBA. But first, we be rocking out, yes. Hope you had a happy first official weekend of the summer. And you know what?

I'm realizing that. Hey, I wasn't done talking, man. Sabow. Shut your ass up. Okay. Sabal. Just kidding. Yeah.

I was going to say, get through this week. You need to do that so your voice can heal. I know. Yeah, man. Let me, Sabelle. Next week's Fourth of July, just like that. That snuck up on us. So get through this week.

You might have a couple days off from work next week. So as we get closer to also the baseball all-star break. And rumor is we may be doing some fun stuff in Atlanta. So hang tight. Maybe we'll meet you out there, do a little party. And we'll be doing the Dan Patrick show leading into the holiday. We're going to be doing a lot of DP fill-ins coming up in the month of July. So we'll let you know when we always, it's an honor to fill in for Dan Patrick here on the

network. Now, WMBA, not a hater at all. In fact, as you said, I'm a girl dad, which is like, you know, that automatically makes you a good guy, right? Not a hater, a congratulator. No, but I, listen, I coach girl softball. I'm not, I'm not some anti- What a guy. Show off. Women sports. You're a massage therapist? So, let me explain. And you interviewed lots of women before you met your wife. Dude, I've interviewed so many ones before I bet my life. And you know what, in fact, those were first dates that didn't turn into second dates. He's only dated women. He's only dated. I mean, I love

married to a woman. I mean, it's so it's great. I mean, there's nothing, no, no hating here. All I'm saying is that the WMBA I've never seen, but then again, maybe, I've have some dumb friends in my life. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen someone or something getting their own way more than the WMBA. Like someone, man or woman being given an opportunity and you keep getting in your way. I think we've all work with someone like that.

Like the boss likes it. Your path is great and they F up. Tripping on their own shoe laces. Yeah, like I feel like the WMBA. Someone needs to tie their shoes because they keep tripping over their own feet. Whether it's, you know, not embracing Caitlin Clark, making it seem like the fighting on the court isn't secretly a good thing. Pushing aside rivalries.

Making things about race when they shouldn't be about race. It should be about the game. It started with all the money stuff. And, you know, making silly arguments as to why the money should. be more. Everything about the WMBA is getting in its own way. And I just saw one other clip to explain why I feel this way. Kelsey Plum, super talented athlete, one of the faces of the league.

Attractive. Cool. Everyone likes Kelsey Plum. She's greeted by people wanting her autograph. Take a listen. The bus was right here. Those y'all are not kind of weird? Okay.

Like low key. Come on. A little, but I'm really turned off right now. I'm just a fan, though. I know. I appreciate that. You sign one? You put my name on it.

Awesome. I sign one. Can I get you on that one? Keep going up this year. Appreciate that. Which ever one. Did she pull? It's not even clock into you.

By the way, he's holding a plastic sheet of her basketball cards. And I'm standing on business. She's calling him low-key weird and saying that he's creepy for wanting an autograph. I think she's high-key misreading the situation. What's the big deal? You have fans. That comes with the territory. She wasn't being stalked in a weird way.

I think it's wild to think that if someone was seeking out autographs and pictures of a WMBA star, isn't that just showing that, oh, wow, maybe the WMBA's headed in the right direction that people care? Look, to make this... I highly doubt it's her first autograph. Bro, I think autograph seekers are, honestly, some of the lamest losers on planet Earth.

If you're a grown man seeking autographs outside a hotel, outside a tour bus, outside a player's bus, adults that want autographs are weenies to the highest degree. But the fact that she... Well, selfies have replaced the autograph, but in this case, they wanted it as signed. But the simple fact that she is in a position where people want this stuff from her, she should almost embrace. I just think maybe, hey, like, there's two ways to look at it. We could never know what... Celebrity superstars and athletes go through, right? We saw, and I quoted, the famous Justin Bieber thing recently.

But let's be real. She's not Justin Bieber, dude. Right? She's not dealing with that kind of paparazzi and celebrity. And you could also say there's a graceful way to back out of these situations, right? Like making that guy feel like he was weird is also not the best way possible. I think they're all of them. I think it sounded a little rude.

I think it's all weirdo behavior. But, I mean, I don't think you're necessarily a weirdo for wanting an autograph. Maybe it was for a kid. I don't know the back story here. Our buddy Michael Yo hit us up. And he's like, they do that with comedians, with acts in Vegas. Like, he's like, they'll come up to you. Be like, sign all the stuff just because they want to resell it.

And they're trying to make a buck. And again, I think it's like, it's like paparazzi and those type of people I think is gross. I don't like that. That's why we were discussing before the show, Aaron Judge's Rule. Yeah, when he was here in Southern California last year for the World Series, he told one of Ben Mallor's listeners who asked for an autograph at the hotel. He's like, nope, sorry, I only autograph for kids. But isn't that a more polished, PR-friendly way of saying?

I went against you, dude. I know you're going to go and take this and sell it. The problem with that is that these people who resell the autographs, they get kids to do their dirty work for them. they'll hire kids to go get those autographs. That is true. Yeah. There's always a scam.

And by the way, there's a follow-up on this Kelsey Plumpton. In that video, one of the guys standing there wanting an autograph, they found out from researching is one of those guys who resells these autographs. But regardless, people are still saying, hey, it doesn't matter. Just go ahead and sign it. You're making money off of a kid's game. These guys want autographs. Just do the signature really quick and move on.

That's at least most of the fan's thoughts in the comments. And that means that your autograph and your signed memorabilia is worth something. If one of those weird dudes is hanging around trying to get your autograph to resell it, means it actually has some value. That's my point is I never in a million years think being one of those autograph seekers is cool. I'm just saying that WMBA now, stop getting in your own way. There's signs that people care and you're still like doing, you're stepping on your own feet. They're not used to it, man.

You lean into that, you know, as much as you can for the good press, not the bad press, because this is why we're all speculating today. Like, yeah, she was kind of mean about that, right? How many years, though, did we hear that they wanted to be treated like one of the major sports? That they wanted that same respect. And IOSAM is right when he says they're not used to it. You better get used to it because of all these eyeballs that you know who from the fever has put on your game. Are we looking at it in a sexist way, though?

You know how women say. You know, if women shows confidence, it's just misinterpreted as we're being a B. If a male athlete did this, would we have been like, yeah, good for that guy. Tell him to beat it. And now that she's doing it, we're like, look at the attitude that she has. Because Bieber recently went off of the paparazzi and people, I think, were like, yeah, but let's say you were a C-level NBA guy. And we, you know. Oh, no, no, no.

We gave LeBron a hard time at the Olympics when he pulled one of these moves on that kid, remember? But don't you think some women may spin it that way? If it was a guy, we'd be giving him a high five for telling him to beat it. But because it's a woman, I guarantee you we'll hear that. I guarantee you we'll hear that from somebody. But because it's a woman, oh, she's got an attitude problem because she told him that he's being weird. You know what? I think we'd get ended there.

I just thought it was just another little microcosm. Another example. Can I hear it over time, though, just to really like dissect it? So again, this is Kelsey Plum, WNBA star, telling some guy that she's low-key. Yeah, she plays for the L.A. Sparks telling his autograph seeker that he's low-key being kind of weird. The bus was right here. Those y'all are not kind of weird? Low-key.

Like, low-key. Come on. A little bit. Oh, good. I'm really turned off right now. I'm not going to. I'm just a fan, though. I know.

I appreciate that. You sign one. I sign one. I'll sign one. Can I get you on that one? I'm a little turned off right now. I'm really turned off. She's really turned off.

Is he ugly? Maybe there's a nicer way to say it, right? Especially when you're looking for good press, lean into the fun side of the WMBA. You're trying to sell a league here. I get what Rich is saying. Your thoughts, 87799 on Fox. Just don't get in your own way.

That's all. I feel like everything the WMBA has had an opportunity to do. I just feel like there must be somewhat of power thinking, like, why do we keep stepping, again, on our own shoe laces and tripping? Like just be even be nice to losers. Honestly, Danny, isn't that sort of, you know, be nice to losers as part of the equation when you're a celebrity or someone of note? You don't think LeBron James. Be nice to losers.

It's in the handbook, I think. Well, you have to have a lot of patience. One thing I said in the pre-show meeting, there's some pro athletes who could never do what you guys just did this past weekend, which was mingle with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that love. what you do for a living and you guys not only have patience and enjoy doing it but I mean you're having these many conversations with all these different

people we've seen athletes who won't bother to spend any time even a little bit of time with one fan I think if you want to be anyone of note in the handbook there's got to be a chapter it's like be nice to losers they're a little gracious at the same time

imagine your show Hey Oatani or your Aaron Judge or your Joe Burrow your your You're Patrick Mahomes, you're Travis Kelsey. You got to be nice to the fans. Perhaps she has seen this dude before and knows what the scammeroo is. I mean, you got to keep that in the conversation, too, to be fair. So your thoughts, 87799 on Fox and keep that number in your phone

because we're going to be playing some Shaq Diesel trivia too, and we need contestants for that. So if you want in 87799 on Fox, Fox. We're going to do that. That's the last time Shaq is going to be with us for the until next NBA season. So I hope Shaq's ready. Something I want to throw out there as well, we're talking about the WMBA, a league that needs no help. The NFL.

The NFL, now that the NBA and the NHL are done, unless you're a super big baseball fan like we are. I feel like everyone immediately right now, your attention goes right to, all right, when's football starting? You're probably planning out your Fourth of July plans, and the minute the Fourth of July is over, it's sort of like a countdown to the NFL. Because after the Fourth of July, it's like T-minus a month, and here we are. And they've already hinted at who the Super Bowl halftime show could be. And what's cool about it, I don't think anyone would argue this, but he's the guy that isn't he in charge of picking?

Yes, he is. The act? Yeah, Jay-Z. what do you think about Jay-Z if he did the Super Bowl halftime show? I think it's weak. It's in the Bay area, right? The Super Bowl makes his way back to the

Santa Clara. Santa Clara. I'm just hating. It says, the headline says, Internet in a frenzy over rumors of Jay-Z possibly headlining 2026. I mean, I like Jay-Z for sure. I like a lot of, I mean, who doesn't like Jay-Z?

Of course I like Jay-Z. I think what makes it a fun halftime show, though, is he'd be filling the stage. with a ton of special guests for sure. Including his wife. Including his wife. So we're going to get a bunch of superstars on the same stage. So therefore it probably will be great.

But my first initial reaction is, ah, man. Eh, all right. But again, maybe some Monday vibes. As a hip-hop, big hip-hop follower and fan, obviously. I'm not a follower anymore because I love old-school hip-hop. So classic hip-hop, I'll say that. We've seen enough hip-hop. and I love Kentrick Lamar.

He's great. And we argued about that last year when it was announced he was going to headline the Super Bowl at halftime. It should have been a rock or it should be. If they haven't decided all the way yet, it should be a rock act this year. That's what I would do. And I'm a hip-hop guy and I'll still say, let's spread the wealth around and go to another format. And then do Jay-Z the following year. Yeah, I think it really is a matter of rotating musical taste.

Yeah. And I think my first thought was like, what are Jay-Z's anthems? And New York is the one, New York State of Mind is the one that comes to mind for me. Empire State of Mind. Empire State of Mind. And that doesn't translate in California. And Alicia Keys did her stuff recently. If there's one year, Metallica makes the most sense.

It is 2026. They're from the area. Or you could say Green Day. You could say. Let's not say Green Day. You could say, I'd totally be down with Green Day. I mean, we've been saying Metallica for years. and they're currently on tour with Pantera.

They have some new music out. I think it would have been great to have rock. And you know I'm not a big country fan or some very popular rocking country collaboration. I mean, if they and Metallica come out and then all of a sudden some younger crossover country guys, like a jelly roll or someone come out. Like there's one of those hardy guys.

We've talked about what the possibilities could be. Just the fact that Jay-Z was hinted, it's worth a quick conversation. Because as much as we all love, love Jay-Z. I don't think anyone's going to say no to Jay-Z. I just don't, I mean, the Super Bowl's not going back to New York, so keep that in mind. You're never going to see a Super Bowl

in New York again. But I just don't know if the Bay Area makes sense for Jay-Z. And by the way, big pimping NYC? What does it have to do with Didley Squat for the Super Bowl? Damn fire. They've never, they've never decided to go with local flavor. I know.

I know. I know. I know. The Dallas is the Dallas one is the one that sticks out for me. I guess Houston could have been for the same reason, but I think so many people wanted a country artist for that Super Bowl in Dallas. They just felt that it was that was the way to go. And that was black-eyed peas? Yeah. And then, you know, last year as much as people did love or hate, Kendrick Lamar, the most watched one ever,

that was the one when everyone said New Orleans, like, little way, come on, like, it makes sense. So you're right, logic of Metallica makes sense, but has it ever made sense before? No. Don't forget at SoFi, they did have the local, you know, they had Dr. No, that's true. That's a good point. You know, Eminem came in, but he's from obviously Detroit. Ever since the NFL and Rock Nation had an agreement, it's all been hip hop or R&B artists, basically.

That's what it's been. Yeah. So. But you thought the streak would end soon, especially with the criticism from last year, too, because, again, not questioning the star power of Kendrick Lamar. We were questioning the catalog for Super Bowl. time meaning anthems you know that that a lot of people know so they're going for DiMaggio they're going for 56 straight but it's pretty obvious too right so that's how I feel am I a big jZ fan yes I am but I'm with Danny G what do you what do you have uh have Huey Lewis written down on your notes

Hughie Lewis oh here's from the Bay Area but you know what if you want to throw a Huey Lewis it would be like a best of the 80s medley an 80s medley you bring some other classic people out out there. It takes superstars to do the Super Bowl. Journey. Journey is a West Coast. That would be too much. Like you could never get all the greatest 80s acts into one show.

No, but you get a few of them. It's because half a one were dead too. The rumor is Jay-Z. This guy here is dead. Cross him off. We can do a hologram. Surprise. That was from the,

Rick James hologram. The Dove Climmon account. Is that right? Yeah. And not just him. It's on several websites. but it's everybody is saying rumor because nobody knows this for sure right now it's just what people are saying if you told me it was a jZ and metallica thing that'd be super dope

does it have to be rock does it have to be country no but it's cool to spread the love a little bit you're rock guy i am has metallica professionally had any like even interaction with jz you think or no idea you never you let's dm james hepfield right now you do that and we'll get someone to play Shaq Diesel trivia. We'll do that next at 877-99-9-9 on Fox. We only have a few swiggies on. I was just going to say, we are down to the nitty-gritty. There's like 10 Swiggies left.

So there's no charity Swiggy. No, you got to win. You got to win. But it's multiple choice, so your chances are good. All right, well, let's do that. And we'll try to give away a Swiggy. If you guys win, the number again, 877-99 on Fox. Some NBA trivia.

We'll put a little bow on this NBA season. And we'll officially move on to the NFL. That's all coming up next. right here. Fox Sports Radio with Kavine Onrich.

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,

and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.

A Stub's Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Genshin won. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.

She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface, because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court-side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged.

It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days I'd put on 10 pounds, I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I know you can be anywhere in the world right now and you're here with us. Appreciate that. I do want to make it clear that we were not hating on Jay-Z by any means. We're from the East Coast. I'm from New York. Not that I need to justify, but I liked Jay-Z when he was Jazz's backup rapper,

hype guy. I used to like Hawaiian Sophie jazz with Jay-Z, like a young baby boy, Jay-Z. So I've followed this whole career and I admire the guy and have all his albums. But it's like, really, Jay Z now? Like, can we have someone else and mix it up a little bit? You also love Fat Joe, though. No, bro, especially now with the news I'm hearing. Whoa.

Those other rumors I'm hearing. Hey, we're going to play Shaq Diesel trivia in a second. I did want to say I know you come to us for, you know, light sports, talking about the rim stuff and butt cheeks and all the stuff that you think about. Big dumpers. Big dumpers. And athletes who are nickname Big Dumpper. I'm talking Cal Raleigh, what I think I'm talking about.

But there is major news in the world that is worthy just to mention. I mean, you don't come here for politics, but Israel and Iran have agreed on a complete and total ceasefire. Is that true, though? Which is huge news in the world. If it's not true, you just spread it all over to place. It's on Fox News. It's on CNN. It's everywhere. Seasfire.

That's great news. Between Iran and Israel. Iran. I keep saying Iran, because when I'm not. I was a kid. The Iron Sheik was from Iran. Iran. And I ran.

You're just a big flock of Seagulls fan. Rich loves. That's why Rich has that flock of Seagull's haircut. It's funny. All right. But hey, big news. But hey, let's get to something lighter. It's time for Shaq Diesel.

Trivia. Let's go. Whenever we say not to name drop, that means we're about to name drop. I'll name drop. Oh my goodness. Not only our CNN friends with Tyson and Mahomes. Hey, man.

They're also buddies with the Big Aristotle. To shout! What's up? It's Big Shaq Diesel, aka Shaq Fu, aka Shack Daddy, aka the Big Aristotle. Guess what? It's time knowing some C in our private. Time for some basketball trivia. Backdies or basketball trivia. Uh, what he said.

To break back boys now, breaking records for FSR radio. Shaq Diesel basketball trivia. All right, FSR security, walking broke Shaq Fu into the main studio. I'm also going to have to break some noses. You look nice and tan. Thank you. Just came back from Bahamas. You know, Shaq.

I was thinking clicks by the case. I have to say, maybe you had the red idea by being in the ocean because I don't know if you heard early. I wasn't that impressed with the-you-talking a lot of smack about basketball. First, you hate the NBA. Now you hate W-M-B-A. I don't hate anything, bro. Talking all this smack. Congratulations.

SGA. He's a league company now. He's a Shaq Company. Yeah, even though you couldn't get him for you. your shoe company. I couldn't get them for my shoe company. Reebok, baby. Reebok. All right. Your final time here until next NBA season. Let's meet the contestants.

El Dorado, California, or the 805 area code, Fillmore, California. No offense to California, but I feel that Indiana's feeling the tough loss last night. So let's go to Fort Wayne. Yeah. Good choice. That's Troy.

Troy. How's it going? Hey, Troy, how about I play Super Bowl halftime? Foo schnickens. Shaq Foole. T.J. Shaq Diesel. Yeah, I don't know. And Troy, you having a little bit of a hangover after that game seven?

Yeah. I don't want to talk about it. Well, hopefully you win here. Yes. Here are the rules for Shaq Diesel trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champ. If there's a tie, we have a tie breaker question. Your name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read.

If there's two wrong answers in a row, we move on to the next question. Are you ready? Let's get it on. Here's round one. Fresh from Bahamas, Big Aristotle, let's go. Before winning one, game one last night, OKC Thunder were the Supersonics, and Seattle won one title in what year? Was it A, 75, B, 1979?

or C, 1982. Dan. Meyer. It was B. 1979. Dennis Johnson was named finals. Every Pee for Seattle. Yeah, DJ was a supersonic back then.

All right, so, DB on the board so far as we moved to round two. Round two. What was I once quote of saying about flopping? A, stand up and take your medicine like a man. B, after I saw an opponent flop, I'd give them a real reason to hit the floor. Or C, flopping is for suckers.

Who listens to Celine Dion. Rich. Rich. Flopping is for suckers who like Celine Dion. No. That's you, sucker. Troy, is your buzzer working? No, Troy.

Troy. I'm giving you a chance, Troy, Jesus. Troy said A, and he's right. For the still. And take your medicine like a man. Like Zach Diesel and a man. DV and Troy both on the board. Why'd Celine Dion have to catch a stray there?

I know. Yeah. Who listens to that garbage? My heart will go on. You probably want to see you as a halftime. All right, round three. I would. I would, Shaq.

Yes, that would be great. You and Sam, that's it. All right, round three. Which player has the most career assist in NBA history? A, Jason, Kid, B, John Stockton, or C, Chris Paul? Troy. Troy for the win. John Stockton.

Boom. Bam. Man, Fort Wayne. 15,000, 8606 assists. Paul is second. third on the list. Congratulations. Thank you. By the way, can you show a little more excitement than

O.K.C. did last night, please. Well, hopefully that lifts your spirits after the Pacers couldn't get it done there in game seven. Troy, congrats. We're going to mail out of CNR Swiggett to you. Thank you. Can I just say the movie, Troy, very underrated? Movie, Troy, I'm going to go home watch it right now.

He can use the Swiggy to drink his own tears. You ever see Brad Pitt and Troy? You ever see that? He looks pretty ripped in that movie. I'm going to watch it. Thank you, Shaq. What a great. Great basketball season. Good to be back. I had fun of Bahamas. I always have fun here.

By the way, I love that Kavino guy. He's my favorite. See you next season. Yeah, we'll see you next season. Yeah, we'll see you next season. All righty. Thanks, Shnickens, faux life. I agree.

Fus schnikin's should play Super Bowl halftime. That would be huge. That would be great? What everyone need, check. I mean, Kavino. Let's, you know what? We're going to get into some NFL, a random NFL story about the

commanders. But, you know, let's go get an update first. There she is. In for Dan Byer. What's up? Bree. How are you? Bree, Bree, Bree. Oh my gosh. This is so exciting. My first ever update with you guys. It's exciting for us, too. Oh, wow. Thanks, guys. Okay, so we've kind of been talking about it all show, but Pacers Guard Tyrese Hallibur did sustain Aright Achilles tendon tear during the first quarter in last night's NBA finals game. He is undergoing surgery later. today. Game 7 did draw about like 16.335 million viewers and was the most watched finals game in six years.

The last time that there was like a game six that was watched like that much was the Warriors and the Raptors like the Kauai series. Do you guys remember that? Well, you know, when Dan Byers said that earlier, my thought was, well, there really hasn't been a game seven in the NBA finals and so long. So while a lot of people did watch last night, you know, of course. It's game seven. Yes, absolutely.

Okay. So a new report from the athletic shows that the Rockets are likely to decline RedFam Fleet's $44.9 million team option, as there is expectation the two sides will agree on a new multi-year contract once free agency begins early next week. Chris Middleton is staying in Washington as he picks up his $33 million player option for next season. And Major League Baseball All-Star voting, obviously Aaron Judge remains the overall

leaders with 2.69 million votes, while Shohei Otani is right behind him with 2.5 million votes. Jets owner Woody Johnson has agreed on a $254 million dollar dealed by a 43% stake in Premier League's soccer club, Crystal Palace. And in boxing, Max Kellerman is joining the broadcast team for the upcoming super middleweight championship boxing fight between Canella. Me too. That's why I wanted to tell you guys.

Okay. Between Alvarez and Terrence Crawford later this year. Wow, that's great. I'll be honest because we talked recently about how we missed Jim Lampley. And I miss Max too. I feel like no offense to the newer guys calling it, but those two names and two voices are great for boxing. It's great to have Max back. Official quote from Canelo.

Thank you, Canelo. Thank you. Very, very happy to see him again. He's been out of the spotlight for two years since he left ESPN. So it was really exciting. I thought he was done dirty. Max is the best in the game. He adds that credibility to the fight game that the fight game needs. He was great on radio like probably seven, eight years ago locally here.

So it was really cool to see that news. So thank you guys. Back to you. I got to ask you because you're a, you're a, you're a Saints fan. And by the way, fun fact, I call her, there was a little kid to play on my girl, my daughter's softball team, Briela. So I was like, Bree, is that true for Briela? And you're like, no, but I still call you Briela for fun.

I call her Bree Murrow with the update. Yes. I'll tell you about B. Murrow, Murrow. Brie, you're a Saints fan. Yes. Don't remind me. Thank you.

Over under five and a half wins this year. Oh, under. So you're not really, last year you were so optimistic and I admired the optimism. Tyler Shuck is AARP band. I really love Spencer Rattler. So if they really give him a shot and Chris Olivae comes back,

let's make the last few years of Alvin Camara's career the best we can. But I just don't think how, I don't think it's possible. All right. Well, hey, good to see you, Brie. Great job. Thank you. Bree, Brey, everybody.

It's something me and Dan Byer care way more about than you, Kavino. And that is, you know what? I'll leave it at that. I won't even tell you what it is. Done, done, done. What could it be? We'll get to it next. right here. Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name?

Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jen Chinchin win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me.

And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

If you wanted to go and couldn't make it, thank you. And hang tight because we'll do more events coming soon.

And I was talking to Shaq Diesel, whack diesel in the lobby. He said, Rich, you better watch that show Power moves on Netflix. You guys have been really talking that up. You know, you make me want to watch it. We're live from Fox Sports Radio Studio, Covino and Rich, ready for a new job, a new job. Let Express Employment, Pro. Help. While Express helps everyone in all industries find work, our sweet spot is logistic roles.

And Express never charges seekers a fee. Go to ExpressPros.com, Kavino, Rich, Danny G., Sam, and a valiant effort by you today. You got through the entire two hours, even with laryngitis. I did. I did. You know what it was? It was from rocking so hard this weekend. And they were partying like a maniac.

Hey, I even did some karaoke, mind you. You know what you missed that? Yeah, you missed it. You didn't dig your heels in and say, no. I refuse. It was your organic energy that brought you to the microphone. I wish I didn't. No, I was sort of forced.

What song did you do? It was, we have a band called Ticklesack. You got to look it up. We have five albums. We did a parody of, she's got the look. It's called Spots Got the Look. So we did a parody song and the crowd went nuts, but I had a song in mind and you believe they didn't have it.

So I did reluctantly go up there, but it was still worth it and awesome. But I did lose my voice, but we're here today. having fun. Again, we'll be posting videos. Now, tonight I'll post the, a couple people recorded Kavino's karaoke. I was up there with him as one of his backup singers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So everything at Covino and Rich and our YouTube page and, of course, Fox Sports Radio.

Now, before we talk about the commanders, Rich, some NFL news, the story about Casey Plum, L.A. Sparks. Kelsey Plum. I'm sorry, Kelsey Plum of the L.A. Sparks. It's okay. She should be happy you know her name, not Shun fans. She was denying autographs and we speculated on it. Andy has one thing to say about Andy from Rhode Island. I mean, listen, she was denying autographs for like weenie autograph seekers, but still, what's up, Andy?

Hey, guys, check it out. So on Father's Day, I was actually flying out to Vegas and right behind me was DeAndre Hopkins. And, you know, I was like, D.Hop, best hands in the league. And, you know, gave me a fist bump, then a fan boy. And, you know, I like that interaction because I feel like as a grown-up, we should approach, you know, athletes in a different way because the way that they look at it, they, you know, they do the sport for the generations to come. And for, you know, for us as adults, we have to, you know, kind of respect that boundary. And could I just quickly add that. I'm sad that I miss

you guys by a day, but I will say that me and my fiance, we took an Uber in a circuit. I went by the pool side just to kind of just feel the energy as if I was going to be there. And, man, it seemed like you guys had a great time. Dude, it was the best time. And, you know, we'll catch you next time. Andy, I'll say this. Thank you, Andy. What you did with Hopkins? Perfect. Yeah, that's a...

You nailed that interaction. He net... Yo, Dih, best hands in the league. Give him a fist bump call today. You had your moment. He didn't annoy him. You made him feel cool. You probably made him chuckle.

Nice. How about Daniel tweeting in and reminding all of us that you're also the same person who snuck blurry pictures of Angelina Jolie? I mean, that is true. But you know what the interaction we had? It was funny. Our buddy Mark, because people kept like hovering there

the table because Angelina Jolie was the next table. Our buddy Marcos here I thought I looked good tonight and everyone was looking at me but it's you and she laughed and I was like dude you nailed that quick interaction. It's a matter of not bothering a celebrity or athlete. He probably thought about that line for a good 20 minutes

before he delivered it. It was a good one though. It was a good one. You know what? Gove before we get to this commander's quick story it's a real damn shame that Jalen Hertz isn't Canadian because I just saw a wild stat. Every other

championship MVP this year has been Canadian. NBA, NHL, and Major League Baseball. Freddy Freeman. Canadian. What? I thought he was from California. Canadian. Are you sure about that?

Sam Bennett, Canadian. Isn't Freddie Freeman? I saw this meme and everyone's double checking it. I mean, Sam, if it's on a meme, it has to be true. Hold on now when you got me, isn't Freddie Freeman? This thing is fake meme? Yeah, Canadian-American first basement. It said he was born in Fountain Valley, California. Oh, yeah, it does say, it does say Canadian and American.

I don't know. Maybe he identifies as Canadian citizen. He's probably a Canadian citizen. He was maybe born here. When he came from the Braves to the Dodgers, everyone was like, yeah, he's coming home, you know, SoCal. So I didn't know about the Canadian thing, but, hey, if you saw it on a meme, both his parents moved here, so he's a dual citizen.

So he's Canadian. He inherited the citizenship. So Jalen Hertz, the only championship MVP that's not Canadian this year. So what's up, Canada, A? Thank you for Cheezys, Jim Carrey and all the rest. They can't win a Stanley Cup, though. Cheylin Hertz loves Canada dry, though. So is that?

Perfect. It's his favorite ginger ale. Staying in that division, staying in the NFC East, which, by the way, should be really fun this year because I'm not saying the Giants are competitive, but they got better, right? And we'll see what Russ does and the excitement of Jackson Dart. and if he'll get any playing time. Hold on, dude.

I'm still taking off my NBA hat. You're already on the NFL? Yeah. I'm not ready for all this. Giants just by nature get more exciting. Sure. Washington will they bring that same, you know, energy? They made it to the NFC championship game last year.

They're electric. For real. Daniels is legit. Yeah, an electric leader going on, no doubt. Like I just said, Jalen Hertz, you're defending Super Bowl champions. And then you got the Cowboys who every year, did they get it right? Have they figured it out? You know, the team with such a storied history has the longest streak not making

to the NFC championship game. So the NFC East is already electric. Now, they're not changing the name back. We're not going to become the Redskins again. But a lot of fans, while they have embraced the commanders, because the play on the field speaks for itself. I think you said Jane and Daniels Electric. It's a fun young court. There's speculation that

the Washington commanders could bring back the old redskins uniform minus only the redskin. Meaning somehow find something close enough to put on the helmet

but bring back the old Washington redskins uniforms. What does that mean? Meaning the exact color scheme, the exact pin, the piping. They could have done that anyway.

Yeah, but they they, they, pivoted away from that and they're saying maybe you're still the commanders but you do everything and give it the same look color scheme everything it'll look like the redskins old uniform minus the feathers but maybe just on the helmet yeah like a sea with you're not going to have the maybe the feathers i don't know and to pay tribute i don't know i mean that would be cool but i don't think they're going to do that but the washington commanders coming off of the big success of last year when we were kids and and if you grew up in the 80s, didn't you think that was one of the sweeter uniforms?

Without a doubt. Dude, I had the jersey just because. There was something, like, honestly, on paper, you'd be like, really, like maroon and, like, yellowish gold? Like, I don't know. It doesn't sound like it would look cool, but. No, it always popped on the field. And they were, you know what?

It helped, too. When we were kids in the 80s and 90s, they were good. Yeah, for sure. So, yeah, just a little for people they care about the uniform game. Some people don't give. I was like a little John Riggins, dude. She saw me my sweet. Jersey. People don't give a crap at all.

But you and you and, uh... Yeah, dude, you don't even know. You know what the John Riggins is? There's a John Riggins move. Oh, are you going to tell them? Yeah. This is a private moment. You're going to just expose it like that. Wow, it's one thing for you and I don't know. He's about to tell the nation. Attention all affiliates. We saw John Riggins in the bathroom one time. 75 years old, John Riggins. Yeah. Still kicking, still doing his thing. He used to work for

one of the NFL channels at Sirius X-N. He was the nice guy. Wait, so you saw John Riggins in the bathroom? Yeah. Next to a urinal? So we- At a urinal, why were you looking at his watch? So,

John Riggins, we'd see this guy every day in the hallway. And we used to call the Riggins because he would, you know, hold running backs and full backs. They're hobbling a little bit,

right? I mean, think of the wear and tear, a guy like Riggins put on his body, right? Yeah, a lot of moan in and groaned as he and buckled his belt.

And I'll tell you, he was always so kind to everyone there. So, good to see you guys. This is all just kindness. But he goes up to the urinal and picture this. You do your straddle a little bit.

You know, unbuckles his pants. Your feet got to be parallel to the shoulders. He puts one forearm against the wall and then the other forearm against wall and just leans. So no hands on the Riggins. No hand on the Jimmy Johnson. And I remember being like...

I like how you stayed in the same division. Yes, yes. So hands, elbows on the wall basically. Because he's so tired. You would always joke that if you were drunk, high, or tired, and you just went to the bathroom and you put your arm up like your forearm like this. Both forearms against the wall in front of the urinal, no hands, and that's the Riggins. There's a lot of Riggins going on in Vegas this past weekend. Yeah, it's like I could barely stand sort of thing.

I'm so tired. I'm going to pull the old Riggins. True story. I was there. We witnessed it. All right. Well, hey, with that said, again, anyone that joined us in Vegas, what a great weekend. We're going to do more events as the show continues.

footage, pictures, videos, everything at Covino and Rich. Yeah, and it's crazy to think as a show continues to grow, which it just keeps growing. We appreciate all the love and support. And we're going to bring that party to your city sooner or later. Yeah, you need to come to the next one. Yeah, it's so much fun partying with our listeners and people that support us. So, hey, at Covino and Rich always keep in the loop there. And enjoy some baseball tonight.

That's what we got, right? We got some good baseball on a Monday night. With Carl Ravitch? A lot of hype. All right. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Enjoy your Monday again. Ariribati, baby.

See you in the Promise Land. Goodbye. Goodbye, guys. Have a great one. Yeah. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.

I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We're first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
