That's Kavino. I'm rich and I am feeling a little rebellious today feel like a rebel. I'm feeling a little under the weather. I'm feeling like treaks today. Deflated cheeks is what I feel like right now.

Make sure to breathe on everyone then. But when I'm here, it is super fun time. So I'm super pumped about the show. Super pumped to get into some midweek major. We do it every Wednesday, every hump day turning into a hump night. Hope you're having a show hay sort of a day.

But we go over the biggest headlines in the world of sports and entertain. We're going to talk some new stadium treats because baseball's right around the corner for the rest of us. Dodgers and Cubs fans already having some fun. But we have lots to get to. Austin Reeves we're going to talk about. Thinking about how you don't listen. What do I, what am I not?

How many times did you're me? How many times did your girlfriend or ex-wife say? You didn't hear what I said. I'm sorry, what did you say? It happens a lot, actually. It's called selective hearing. Of course. Sometimes I select the night hearing.

you. Well, you did. I said, I'm feeling rebellious. As if that matters, but you didn't realize I was getting to something. You just kept going. I can only imagine how many times your girlfriend's like, yeah, I'm feeling something. And you're like, yeah, that's great. You know, the Yankees? I mean, when I think of you, I always think of rebellious. You're the wild guy here on Fox Sports Radio. Would you believe for the first time in my life, I was banned for one day from Facebook? You and two-life crew. You're a bad boy. I'm a bad boy. I'm a bad guy. Bad man. Banned in the USA.

You know, I was banned for posting that stupid picture of John Lennon's ass we talked about yesterday. When I said the baseball season is a long-ass day like that funny picture of John Lennon's ass, would you believe I went to post a happy birthday to an old school pal today? And it's like you have been blocked for like, like as if I'm some smut king or something. Oh, you're in Facebook prison? I'm in Facebook prison. That's really cool. Attica, Attica.

That's a rebel with a radio cause. Yeah, you know, you got to be careful. You're the coach of a bunch of little leaguers and softball kids. They're going to find out that coach Davis is a pervert. Then what are you going to do? Look at the back of my shirt today. Coach Rich, please. Thank you.

Coach Rich is banned on Facebook. I wonder why. Oh, nudity. That's why. You're only supposed to show like 75% of the butt crack. Isn't that like the TV rules? Like you only show 75%. Yeah, but John Lennon's is so long, it breaks all the rules.

I could have believed that. It's 150% of a butt crack. We had that silly conversation yesterday at the end of the show. In fact, we posted a clip about it at Covino and Rich on Instagram. The analogy was that the baseball season is a long season, like John Lennon's butt crack. If you've never seen the photo, check our Instagram. And the football season is a real short season. So every game counts like Yoko Ono's butt crack in this famous photo.

Again, at Covino and Rich. Rich posted it. Now he's the bad guy. Is that why you're the rebel, the loner? Is that why? I'm the bad guy. I feel rough and tough today. Oh, okay.

But I just figured we stupidly ended the show with that yesterday. And that got me banned for the first time in Facebook history. Facebook prison, rich. I know. But it's really like you're in Facebook County Jail. Like, they'll let you out eventually, like in a day, right? The food's not good in here, Sam. I give you an orange jumpsuit to wear for a little bit.

Sky, if I feel that way. We do have a lot to get to today. Like you said, midweek major, some stadium treats, Austin Reeves, the Lakers. But we have to talk about. your own success versus the team you root day in and day out for. Like you're a big Yankees guy. I am. You were crying yesterday about how you feel like it's bad news and the season hasn't even started yet.

Yeah, and I'm not usually that guy. But when your ace goes down and you haven't replaced them and it doesn't look like you're going to anytime soon. I mean, Garrett Coles out, how do you win a World Series without your ace pitcher? Seriously. That's the biggest thing. And that's just part of the story. As we mentioned yesterday, no third baseman because LeMayhew, you're banking on LeMayhew and his tangled tutsies. This guy has feet problems every year.

You got no Luis Heel, no rookie of the year. It's another big arm gone, at least for three months, six months. Schmitz hurt. Jean-Cardlo Stanton's hurt. Big players hurt. So it's like, it's hard to feel positive. I'm excited that baseball's here and that there's something to watch and something to root for. but it's hard to think more than ever when you got the Dodgers,

when you got the Mets and the Phillies and a stacked ALES that the Yankees have a shot. You just got to believe that when the star players go down like that. I bring this up because a lot of times you wonder, hey, do I care more about my own success or the success of the teams I root for? It's a really, like, when you think about it,

it sounds like it would be a dumb question. Like, of course I care more about my own success. success. The Yassabia. I've always said that. Drago said that. I fight for me. The Yassibya.

I fight for me. How do we have to... Was it close captioning? I don't know. You have to imagine that more than ever people fight for themselves. It's like narcissism has gone rampant since social media became a thing. Everybody so into themselves. You think people care about anyone else more than themselves?

You're out of your mind. I'm only self-centered people dancing in front of the mirror all day. A bunch of weirdos. As you point out, everybody the superstar of their own movie. As you point out, what are some people's worst qualities? Everyone else embraces. Well, I've said that about myself. What was considered to be my worst quality,

Stephen's so self-centered. I guarantee you, if you ask any of my ex-girlfriends, I'm like, Steve's a nice guy, but what a self-centered son of a bee. That was my worst quality. However, in today's world, that's the quality that's the quality that every. everybody leans the most into and it seems to be okay. It's a terrible way to be. It's something I was trying to fix, but now it just is.

Now it's just what everybody is. So I would have to believe that more people today are all about their own personal success than anyone else. However, I mean, take a look in the stands at any college, NFL, NBA game. I mean, we're about to start March badness. So the question is this, what do you root for more? the success of the team you root for, or your own success. And I bring this up because,

so you're saying, like, for me, the Yankees, which we already said, I'm looking down on the season. I have a great hypothetical for you, but let me set this up first with. But your team or your own personal sort of thing. I have a perfect hypothetical for a guy like you. But let's start by introducing Ben Stiller, who is on the New Heights podcast. And Ben Stiller, you know,

who we saw is going to be in Happy Gilmore. two. Oh, your fingers hurt? He's going to be in the second one. We all love Ben Stiller. He's such a Knicks fan that this is what he said to the Kelsey's. Would you rather win an Academy Award or Knicks win

the championship? Realistically, I think the Knicks winning a championship is in the cards. All right, all right. So I'm definitely down for that. But if I was forced, like, if I was forced, I really think, like, at the end of the day, if

I knew that I had the choice, I would give it to the Knicks. Brings a whole city joy. And to be honest, think of... Yeah, easier said, I mean, from a guy who's had a lot of life success. Like, is that award going to change his life? No. So he's like, hey, I'll take the Knicks victory. So I'm saying it's just easier for him to say that.

Rewind the second. Regular fella. Because Bradley Cooper, okay, had once said that he cared more about the Eagles winning than any award he could have won. It meant way more to him to see his Eagles win than his own personal accolades. So when you dumb it down, it's really a question of what brings you more joy now. When you dumb it down, let me give everyone in this room. I've thought of a hypothetical for everyone here.

If I said Steve Kavino. Yeah, that's me. What would you rather more? The Yankees win a World Series. Yeah, they haven't done it since 2009. Yankees won a World Series. or your daughter's cheerleading squad coming in first place like states.

It's kind of tough but not really. Of course I want my daughter to feel what it's like to win and to take some pride in victory and to feel good about herself and I want her to build confidence. But I don't care that much about her team winning. I care more about my Yankees winning. You would choose?

I choose her own personal success. Like if you said, Your daughter personally won an award. I can never root against my daughter. But her team? I don't care that much about her team. I know that sounds crazy, but do you see what I'm saying there? Like if you told me, your daughter won some crazy scholarship

because she was the greatest kid of all time versus the Yankees. Of course, I'm going to root for my kid. But when you say her team, I'm like, hey, I was a part of a lot of teams that didn't win. I feel just fine about my confidence. So I'm going with the Yankees based on your specific question. Dany J, you have Raiders tattoos? I do. I have one. Raiders sword on the back of my home.

So let me ask you this. Raiders have not won since Jim Plunkett. They have not one since you were a little boy. I picture you with a beard as a little boy, though. Is that weird? He was a little kid with a chin strap. Danny J. had a chin strap beard at five. Haven't been in the Super Bowl

since the early 2000s. Danny J. Raiders win the Super Bowl or your little boy, COA, wins like the Pop Warner Championship locally when he's like 10. Well, Coa wasn't planned, but I've planned my whole adult life for the Raiders to win a Super Bowl. Yeah, he's been planning this out.

Yeah, and it looks so far as if Coa may be a soccer prodigy, the way he's kicking a size four soccer ball around, dribbling it around the field and the kid's barely 18 months old. So, yeah, as long as he had individual success on the soccer field, Rich, I'd be okay with that. That's what I was getting at too, Danny. Like, yeah, my kids' individual success, I'll always root for that first. But when it comes to my team,

I'm putting my team over their team. Yeah. If anyone can remember the player, I always thought this was wild, there was a player whose dad admitted, it was a player that's from Queens, New York. This guy was on like the Brewers or Marlins or something, and his dad admitted,

yeah, I watched the Mets every day, and then I go back and watch the highlight. of my son. Oh, yeah, I remember that. Who was that? I forget who it was, but there are people that their kids are in the pros, and they're like, yeah, my son's on the Titans, but we have this family's a Steelers family. It's like, are you kidding?

I always think this is an interesting question, personal or family accolades versus the team you root for, because Big Mike who runs his place? Who? Mike said that he rather, his little kid, when his kid was a, you know, six years old, score one goal in a 6-1 loss than any of my team's winning because it's my family versus stupid team. Yeah, I mean, everyone has their thing.

Mike was pretty adamant about that. But then again, he's a Dodgers fan. And it can be last year. I got to be honest. I asked you and I put you guys on the spot. And when I thought about it myself, I wanted to be all righteous. I'm the guy that's coaching these kids every week.

I coach a girls' softball team and a boys' tee ball team. As everyone knows, I'm the number one coach on Fox Sports Radio. Wait till they all find out what a rebel you are. Wait until they find out you were banned on Facebook for being a creep. So you would think my answer is, of course, my kids, the children. But if you told me it's Game 7 of the World Series Mets versus, I'd say my son Ben's Little League Championship when he's like nine? That's what I'm saying.

Ben can still have a great season and not win. I'd probably say, yeah, the Mets. But you're right. If you told me my son's going to win by hitting a walkoff. Right. You're not going to ever root against that. Yeah. Then you're going to root for your kid. But I think I still ride on personal little league accolades. So I would never root against, you know, your kid or my kid to not achieve those moments. But their team, I don't care about that team. I wanted to talk this out with you guys because I thought we'd come to an answer.

And I think we have. And the answer is this. And if you disagree with this, you're on drugs. You're crazy. You can never root for your team against your kids. kids personal accolades. But you could root for your team over your kids' teams accolades. Yes. If it's your kid hits the game-winning three-pointer and his junior high basketball team wins, you'll pick that over the sons winning an NBA title. For sure.

But if I said, yeah, your kids like a bench player and his team wins or the sons and you're a son's fan? By the way, was it Jonathan India's dad? Yes. I heard Mets fan, even if his son was on the Reds, was he was on the Reds. He was on the Reds at the time. I remember they interviewed his dad and he's like, yeah, I grew up in Queens. I'm a Mets fan.

I watch the Mets every day on MLB TV and then I go back and just watch my sons at bats. Yep, yep, that was it. I just looked it up right now. So, I mean, yeah, because, and you said it, you're a blank family. It's not that you're being selfish in that moment. Danny G is from a Raiders family and invested his whole life waiting for a Super Bowl. It's not that selfish of a thought. And I kind of get what Ben Stiller's saying.

But again, what does an Oscar mean to a guy that has multi-millions of dollars anyway? And sometimes awards mean nothing. If I told you, Kavino. Some people don't put any value on awards at all. If I told you they were going to give you the Steve Kavino, you're going to win the premier radio network, I heart syndicated show of the year award. Or the Yankees win the World Series. Awards mean something to me.

See, I would choose the Mets win over us winning an award. Us or me? Because that would be cool if I won and you didn't. Cavino and Rich? No, no, just Covino. Yeah, yeah, he won as a show, no, just him. They decided to leave Rich off. Yeah, I'd feel cool about that.

Yeah, that's a tough one, Rich. That's a tough one. But Ben Stiller, the story today, and the reason we bring it up is Ben Stiller says he chooses his nicks over a potential Oscar on the New Heights podcast. And Bradley Cooper has said the same thing before. Yeah. And I think it also depends on how long the drought's been. Oh, yeah, all these things matter.

If you were for a team... How bad is your kidney to win like that? If you're a Cubs fan and 2016 hadn't hit yet, you would have chosen that over anything. But, again, if you're a Chiefs fan, you've had some success over the past handful of years. I think you would choose your kids' little league game over the Chiefs. So think about it.

Let us know. Chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And Rich, we got more CNR, midweek major, Rodney P., Austin Reeves. We got more next. All right.

We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas, we invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. A 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. Oh, 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.

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 at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerner Rabakina 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.

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.

Got your update in about 10 minutes. And Spot, getting ready for midweek major. We do it every Wednesday, the biggest stories of sports and pop culture. I don't know that many Minnesota Viking fans. I feel like I think of our boss Scott. What about Lizzo? Lizzo. She counts.

Minnesota Vikings. Didn't she claim to like that she hooked up with the Minnesota Viking? What guy? Skull. Who else do you know that's a Viking? Do you have any close Viking fan friends? Yeah, my buddy, uh, Kane. That's right.

Radio, radio legend Kane from New York. Yeah. He's originally from Minnesota. Our buddy, uh, Rocket Pooh. I'm not giving you a quiz. I'm just asking, have you taken the temperature of any of these fans as far as like, did they want Aaron Rogers or not? Because that story as of today is done.

I don't think anybody wants Aaron Rogers. We talked about J.J. McCarthy last year and how much we knew the Vikings organization loved him. They were, they loved them. They bought into the Harbaugh High High High. and they said, you know, Harbaugh was right. This kid's the legit real deal. He just got hurt and they lucked out with Sam Darnold. Yeah, and I know it was a preseason game against my Raiders,

but he looked fabulous until he got hurt. The reality is money-wise, where every team now is like cut and cost and shedding dollars and cap space, if you could go with a rookie quarterback, you saw how that is the advantage in the NFL. If you could go with a young gun, I mean, you sign Aaron Rogers. What's the minimum you're going to pay for Aaron Rogers?

to 50 million. And now you're just in a, you're in a different scenario. So I think Minnesota made the right move. Yeah, so much more upside. No knock on Rodgers. Dude's a legend, for sure. But all the noise

he comes with, expectations, question marks, or banking on the future with a young dude, lots of promise. Like, there's so much more upside

to the McCarthy move. And that's how I would feel. I don't want the older guy. And by the way, I know you're saying. Older guys fun to root for. You know, it's a fun story. Is he a different older guy now to you, though?

Yes, very much. I don't think he's 100% focused on football the way he used to be. Life has changed for him. He's doing his podcast. He's going to be outspoken. He's into his extracurricular activities. And again, these are all great things. But I don't think they gel with a team that's trying to really win and build for the future.

Sam Darnold was arguably the most pleasant super. in the National Football League last year. So let me ask a guy sitting over there, Dan Byer. What's up, my friend? Do you think Justin Jefferson, Kyle Rudolph, guys on that offense, were hoping to maybe get an Arrow Rogers? Or do you think they're like, no, let's go with the young kid. Kyle Rudolph retired, remember?

Yeah. When did he retire? He was actually with us at Fox Sports Radio. Did I think, wait, Kyle, why am I thinking of that? Jordan Addison, T.J. Hawkinson. Yes. T.J. Hott. I'm like, Kevin.

Kyle, I'm like, because I immediately I thought quick. I'm like, Kyle. No, okay. That's all good. I'm sure that they, you know what, no, I'm not going to say it. They know the guy that they know. And so the guy that they know is in their building. And I do think what is going on with this flirtation or whatever it was couldn't be good for J.J. McCarthy. But I'm still thinking that he's the guy in their building. They're going to go with the guy. And I think they're going to be a good teammate. That's what I will say with that. I think by going with Aaron Rogers, It would have been, it would have been risky. I mean, we know a lot of Giants fans, Rich. We're from the East Coast. What's the temperature there? Are they?

Do you know one giant? I'm going to text my Uncle Bill as we speak. Oh, he represents the millions of New Yorkers. No, I'm going to say. You want to have a Rogers uncle? You think he's like, yeah, man, I'm hoping for Rogers. I doubt it very much. And it's not a knock.

It's just where he is in his career. So. I'd like to alert all the affiliates that Covino is texting his uncle. right now, just so you know, man. And also, this is a Giants team picking third in the draft. The only quarterback they have under contract right now is Tommy DeVito. It's the only one that they've got under contract. For sure.

And a lot of the mock drafts have the Giants taking Shador Sanders. Whether that happens or not, we'll find out. Or even trading up to one to try to get Cam. Cam, yeah. So, I mean, we get it. The Giants need somebody, but do they want him? We said from the start right here on the show that it was the easiest. fit in the easiest move because he embraced New York already and it's right there in his

backyard but do the fans really want them? I haven't heard again. The reason I brought up Uncle Bill, Rich and I talk to Giants fans every day in our personal lives. Not one of our friend, not one of my friends or family has expressed to me that, dude, they got to make it happen. I mean, they saw what happened with the cross town team. It's like, imagine if the hottest girl in town dated someone you knew and he's like, yeah, she's not that cool. That's sort of like what giant fans are feeling. The guy across town was like, like, oh, he's dating the hottest girl? Yeah, bro, she's not that great.

That's what giant fans are feeling. And I'm still mad at myself for saying Kyle Rudolph instead of T.J. Hawkinson. It's all good, man. How could you? But you know when you think of a guy and he's permanently in your mind for that team? Yeah, I guess. There's just like a permanence about that guy. I don't know why.

For me, I'm like, I thought he's like a permanent Viking. I think he's because he caught a touchdown pass in like one of their few playoff wins over the years with Kirk Cous. I think that game was actually on NFL network right now. The one where he caught in the end zone in the corner to beat the Saints? It may have been. I'm like, damn, how do I say Kyle Rudolph? Jesus. Hey, guys, you're Tony Gonzalez on the Falcons?

What do you think he thinks about Kirk Cousins? Dude, it happens. It happens. Yeah, the 49ers. What do you think about Brent Jones? Anyway, Minnesota fans, I can't imagine anyone being that butt hurt that, they're moving away from the thought of Aaron Rogers. I know Stallworth and Swan don't want Rogers in Pittsburgh.

So I know that they're... Jeremy Shockey does. He wants... Yeah, he wants him. Mark Bavarro is like, you know, I would, you know, make sense. I'm still waiting for Uncle Bill's response, though, so stay tuned. I just got to see what he has to say about it. I just got a text from Phil McConkey.

He said, please. It's all good. Yeah, I mean, I think the Giants could scoop him up. if he is honest with himself and he just wants to play ball, the Giants can pick up two quarterbacks. They would have to. I'm not saying the Giants area. If they only have Tommy Cutlets,

they got room for Rogers at a reasonable rate and someone else. Imagine by default Tommy Cutlitz gets an opportunity. That'll be disgusting. Got an update, Bob, Uncle Bill. Uncle Bill, my, actually it's my aunt's ex, but he's still part of the fam. Uncle Bill.

says, nope. Winston and still draft a QB, he says. Winston and draft a QB. Yeah. Speaking of the Giants, I have heard, and I believe there is something if you said about, not that they're going to go from bottom of the barrel, stank-ass giants to a playoff contender, but it would be interesting. I think because the Giants overall

were so bad last year that, you know what does go under the radar? how great Malik Neighbors was. And if he did have a legit quarterback, how much even better he could be. I almost feel like if you're a fantasy football player, like a Dan Byer who's way into it, Malik Neighbors might be the steal if you got an Aaron Rogers because that would be...

What Aaron Rogers did for Devante Adams in Green Bay where he picks his guy and that's his guy, that could be Malik Neighbors. And while they won't be great, I could see that being a combo to make some noise offensively. You know, I just started to jump in. But your point about that is interesting. And I think on the surface, it works.

But when you see what happened with the Jets this past year, that's what was supposed to happen with Gero Wilson. And it didn't. Yeah. And it didn't happen. So maybe if you're Minnesota, when you're trying to evaluate the reasons, maybe you look at that and say, well, wait a second here. You had a young wide receiver there that you thought was a stud.

and we thought that this connection was going to be great, and it didn't. They ended up having to bring in Devante Adams anyway. Maybe that would be a reason why you wouldn't, and maybe that could be something. I mean, the giant son of anybody right now. That could be the deterrent right there. You're right, because you thought, oh, Jets, Garrett Wilson,

he has Aaron Rogers now. It's going to take him to the next level. Put yourself in those cleats for one minute, right? Seriously. If you're a young player, you have to say all the right things. Like, man, an opportunity to play with the legend. Yeah, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It's great.

you know i mean i can't imagine you know playing with ron rogers i used to grow up watching them you know if you were a young player would you feel that comfortable playing with a veteran with that much pressure around you or someone younger and as hungry as you are there's just more of a commonality it's like all right if you needed a new co-host would you want like an older guy to be your co-host or a guy who's on your level with the same hunger and the same place and same part of life as you I know what you're saying. You know what I mean? Like there's a pressure of like having to play with this guy or someone else in your age range.

That's probably more comfortable for these young dudes. That's interesting because I think Cove that with the fans at least right now, this is almost like the C.J. Stroud and J. Daniels effect where you'd rather go with the upstart guy where you know there's a lot of ceiling to be reached and have a vet back that guy up. That's what the Vikings are doing. They say they're still in the market to sign a vet, but J.J. McCarthy's their guy. When there's so much ceiling, like you said, I mean, those are two great examples of guys that delivered way early on, Jaden Daniels and C.J. Stroud. But if you think

you have that in J.J. McCarthy, Kavino's right. Justin Jefferson, not Kyle Rudolph, T.J. Hawkinson. These guys on the offensive side of things in Minnesota are probably, would be more internally excited to be part of the new J.J. McCarthy offense. They would never want to say that because they have to say the right things. And there is some honor and playing with a legend. You know what it is? There's also something so like oddly temporary about the Aaron Rogers answer, right? I'm out of doubt.

There's something like, all right. All right. If you're Justin Jefferson, no, you're thinking? All right. So I play with Aaron Rogers for like a year. And then where do we go from there? Because it's a hired gun, but a hired gun that you're not quite sure is really going to take you anywhere. It's a hired gun that might have like a rusty.

you know, triggering chamber on it. Might not even fire. But it's also a hired gun that's like talking down to you, not in a demeaning way. I mean, it might be. Condescending, maybe. Maybe, but that's not even my point, meaning like he's an old veteran.

He's with all these young dudes. They might not be speaking the same language. A younger guy might not be as comfortable with that guy. That's what made Tom Brady, Tom Brady. He still spoke that young guy language. I'm not sure Aaron Rogers is that type of guy. Speaking of wanting to build things together, I know it's a different story. He's not as young.

But as we talk about this, I see the headline on FS1, Cooper Cup saying he's, quote, excited to build things with Sam Darnold. You know, there's something to be said about wanting to build something together. And when you had a 13-win team and Sam Darnold takes a hike and you got J.J. McCarthy in the wings, you know what? It probably didn't make sense at the end of the day to bring in Aaron Rogers. So I feel like Minnesota made the right move. Hey, not rooting against Aaron Rogers, just some thoughts.

You could chime into at 87799 on Fox or at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Time for an update. Yeah, let's go to Dan Byer and shoutouts to Kyle Rudolph, by the way. In addition to the Aaron Rogers news of him not going to the Minnesota Vikings at this time, we do have other NFL stuff to get to as the NFL will officially evaluate a proposal from the Packers to ban the tush push. The Lions have proposed a few new rules, including not having defensive holding or an illegal contact penalty be an automatic first down for the offense.

Detroit is also asking for a change that would allow playoff teams to be seated by their record and not by whether if they won their division. Texans are signing tackle Cam Robinson filling the spot left when they traded Laramie Tunzel. Veteran safety Jordan Fuller signing with the Atlanta Falcons. Dodgers beat the Cubs today, 6 to 3. L.A. hit three home runs, including one from Shohei Otani, opening round games in Dayton of the NCAA tournament coming up at 640. Battle of 16 seeds as Mount St. Mary's takes on American.

Winner gets Duke on Friday, Xavier in Texas, playing a battle of 11 seeds afterwards. Winter will get Illinois on Friday in Milwaukee. Multiple reports say that Will Wade will leave McNeese to be the new head coach at NC State once the Cowboys NCAA tournament run comes to an end. And guys, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, admits the league is re-evaluating their future All-Star Game festivities following the success of the Four Nations faceoff that took place earlier this year. and HL players expected to be in the Olympics next winter. They say they still want to do something for an All-Star sort of deal, even though the pros are expected to play in the Olympics. But moving forward, could see a whole different format because of how great it was.

Yeah, it worked. It was awesome. We watched it together. That's how I knew it worked. Kavino and I were like, yo, bro, let's watch hockey together. I've known the guy for decades. The first time we sat and watched hockey game together. It was cool.

So thank you, DB. Thanks, Dan. Your note about the rule changes in the NFL may be left because it seems like every team specifically has a rule that applies to them. Like, I want to propose a rule, and they're so specific, like, because something had happened to them. Whether it's the tush push or whatever it is, it's just funny how it's so specific. Now, we got more Kavino and Rich, more midweek major.

Rodney Pete, Austin Reeves. We have lots to get to right here on Fox Sports Radio. Now, guess what I got in the mail today? What you got in the mail today? It was a box for me. What a shock.

I was shocked just right from the start. And then it said Travis Matthew. What's in the box? Travis Matthew. And it was sneakers, man. It was a real nice shoes. And I couldn't believe it. And I actually posted.

You can see him at Steve Kavino. Check them out. Nice green. And I needed green. Perfect. I'm going to look right now. Love them. And one of our buddies Justin hit us up. I'm like, what do you golf now? And here's the beauty. I don't golf. Travis Matthew, not just about golf anymore. It's about looking good. It's about casual and comfort and comfort and comfortability in the fabrics. I love the fabrics of the shirts and the pants, lightweight. Danny G., I got to give you the credit.

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.

We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we, 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. 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. 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.

You know who's birthday to us today? Bruce Willis turned 70. Look at that. 70, huh? 70. Wow. 70. There's a reference to that in the show Paradise.

There is. I love the show Paradise. And Danny J. I know it's not a Friday for weekend hobnobbing, but we were talking about the Lakers on and off the air. Cheesy yet very watchable running point on Netflix. It's about Jeannie Bus with Chet Hanks.

I think he's the star of the show. I think he is a Hank. He plays a really good meathead. Well, if you're going to waste your time, waste it on the White Lotus. I'm digging it. It gets better episode four and five. That's when it really kicks in. You're like, huh?

I mean, you're sitting there all confused like Walton Gagans. Huh? You could waste your time on, you know, Kate Hudson and. Ched Hanks or the White Lotus or on Temptation Island, which is just trash. Yeah, I'm not into that. But good trash. Good trash. Covino and Rich live from the Tyraq.com studio.

That was a home run, by the way. That was a definite home run. If you don't know what we're talking about, Shohei hit the first home run of the 2025 Major League Baseball season. And for a minute it was debated whether or not did the fan reach in and grab it, but it was over the fence. It was a home. No, it was a home run. It was a nice drive by Shohi O'Tani. And how about your boy, Rodney Pete?

I was just going to say. Stealing that ball for Max Muncie. Rodney. And you know what? At first, I didn't know that was Rodney Pee. I saw that. It was a major highlight. I just saw a fan. And you know what? I thought to myself when I saw it, I'm like, ah, he did nothing wrong there. It was right at him. He didn't move. He didn't get in Muncie's way. Muncie's way. Muncie gave him a lot of attitude for no reason, in my opinion. And if you don't know, really quick, Rich, I was just going to explain because a lot of our audience outside of Southern California,

Rodney co-hosts the midday show with Rogan on AM570, LA Sports. Yeah, so the big Fox Sports. They were there. They were there for the opener, the crew. The big Fox Sports Radio affiliate. I think it's a major day show, actually. It's not that mid. And no, what a coincidence.

By the way, what content for them, huh? Imagine we went through a game of Kavino bumped into Max Muncie. They've been loving it. All day long, they've been putting out tweets saying the catch heard around the world. Of course, man. Of course, Tim Cates had him on the air and everything. And it was having a lot of fun with it. Yeah.

So if you saw the clip, and most people have, it was a very viral clip. It was Rodney Pete. That was Rodney Pete. That got in his way. But he really didn't. He didn't really get in his way. Muncie acted like he did. I'm going to call Max Muncie.

You know, he's a Moises Al-Loo here. The reaction from the player determines the reaction from the fans. And I stand by, Steve Bartman, would never have gotten all that crap. Had Moises Al-Lu just walked back to left field. It was a mix of two things. It was Al-Lu's reaction, but it was also the fact that he looked like the biggest dork. He had a big, goofy green turt, nerd-neck. He had a nerd-neck on. He had his headphones, his glasses. He's like, hey, there's Waldo. Everyone's looking at him because everybody went for that ball. The reason he stood out is because he looked like a goober. That's really it. Poor guy.

That he did nothing wrong. And again, combined with Moises-A-Loo. It was. he'll react, like slamming down his hands. Like, oh, damn it. That reaction made everyone say, man, that kid in the stands really blew it. If Moises Out Liu had walked back to left field, like an unfazed pro. You know what the worst part about it too is? Like, well, there it is. It's on TV now. Max Muncie, his frustration in that moment, like he missed it regardless. And it was over the fence. I don't even know if it would have counted anyway. But he would have never had it. Just like Alu would have really never had that ball. But Steve Bartman,

famous Cub fan that got in the way, but he didn't. He was in the stands. He had headphones on, right? You know he had to hear the radio commentary of, oh, I would hate to be that nerd in the stands right now. Oh, look at that nerd. He's in big trouble. Oh, the guy with glasses. Oh, man. That nerd is he was basically, he was basically listening. You imagine that feeling when you got 50,000 people there. Everyone's

hating you and you're hearing it on the radio as it happens. I think I need to go now. Yeah, that part of the nightmare is really never explored. Like, you know, he was probably listening to the game. Either that are the proclaimers or something. You know, Bob, that kid's life will never be the same. The proclaimers. You know, of all the people here at the game tonight at Wrigley,

I would really hate to be that guy. What guy? The guy with the green turtleneck. And he's listening the whole time. What a nightmare that had to be. Thanks, Moises Al-Lew. So, you know, that being said, Rodney P. If you watch that clip again, Monsie had no shot, he missed it.

He clearly missed it anyway. Dude, if you're going to go after a ball in the stands, do it the right way. Right way. Like those guys in the Bronx. Rip the, rip the ball out of Mookie Betts his glove. Like you're like, you try to grab Gabagool off a charcutory board. That's how you got to do it. Gabagool.

To think those guys, it's so funny how you could do the same thing. This happens in relationships, work, life, anything. Two people could do the same thing with different reactions. Steve Bartman goes for a ball because it's in his vicinity. He has to move, change his life, and go into like witness relocation. Yeah, they tried to like welcome him back and he's like, beat it. You ruined my life. These goons in the Bronx rip a ball to Mukie Betts his glove and everyone laughs their ass off.

Like, look at these two Guidos. Legendary. I mean, and they did this. They did worse than Bartman yet. They were violent. Those two are heroes in the Bronx. They got banned, but among their friends in the community, it's like, you, those guys are clowns.

It's funny. Meanwhile, Steve Bartman, you had to change his name probably. Poor guy. So that was the story. Props to Rodney Pete. Good hands. He was in the moment.

But you're right. He was a grown man with a glove, though. Ah, yeah, that's right. Is that part of the story? They're making fun of her for that because they should. Yeah, it goes against our personal rule. Like, if you're over, anyone over 12 shouldn't have a glove at the game,

especially a former NFL quarterback. Come on, Rodney. Get with it. We got more Kavino-Ritch. Next. Fox Sports Radio. 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 the 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.
