This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. 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. Tired and sick.

I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on, a Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.

And then we continue talking facial hair a la Devin Williams, okay? We're Covino and Rich 5 to 7 on the East Monday through Friday. Always fun filling in for Colin on the herd. Hell, he could take off every Friday. I'll take it.

And then Friday again in for Colin. So thank you guys. Follow our podcast. Search Covino and Rich, wherever you stream. And search Overpromise. That's our bonus show. Last week we talked to Gary V at the Super Bowl for Overpressed. and Joey Chestnut.

Again, overpromised us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. A lot of our videos are there. So as a resident Yankees fan, again, I've always been cool with tradition. I love it. The pinstripe, pride, the Yankees way. But I think we have come to a point where it's like, all right, now you're getting in the way of the confidence of these players. And you can say that's silly, but everybody wants to feel their best.

If you think it's just me or Kavino saying, you know, these type of things matter, I'll name drop. I'm a Niners fan. I remember having a really good conversation with Jerry Rice once. And Jerry Rice told me how important it was for him to have his uniform just the right fit, to have his towel hanging out just the right way. You've heard baseball players say they got a barber on standby. Every baseball team has a barber on standby to make sure everyone's fate is tight.

Everyone's beard is just right. Yeah, I remember Big Poppy and a lot of those guys had El Monsthro 99. Yeah. They would travel with this. team and with the players just so that they feel good. You look good, feel good, feel good, play good, play good, they pay good, right? And you're paying Devin Williams almost $10 million. Almost $10 million a year to close out to be that intimidation factor for your baseball team.

And then you're telling them to shave his like intimidating, cool looking beard. That's what makes him look cool and current. You're asking a young 30-year-old man to shave his face and look not intimidating. Why? Because George Steinbiter said it 50 years ago? Right. So again, I'm not saying that you throw the rules away. There is a sense of professionalism I do believe in in baseball and in life. So I think you get the scrub cone. You compromise here.

And that's where I'm at. If you have any thoughts on it, let us know at 8774 The Herd. It sounds ridiculous. But why would you not want the players that you're paying to feel their best, to feel confident, to feel intimidating, to feel like the man? Look at the NBA. what is a big part of the NBA? The guys walk in through the tunnel, right? They get to show their drip, their outfit, their wardrobe.

You know who has some drip in the NBA this week? Jimmy Butler. It's a different stuff. A little bit of a dribble. Yeah, don't know if you saw that, but he had an accident in his pantalones. I did see this. But no, you know, style, to say that style doesn't matter. It's a different world, yes.

Among young men that are professional athletes, trying to, you know, meet women, have fun. You know, these guys are millionaires. They're trying to live it up and you're telling the guy, yeah, totally abandon your cool look and clean shave like a baby boy so that the ghost of George Steinbrenner is happy. Should your confidence rely on something as silly as this? No, of course not.

But if it helps them feel a little better, leave it alone. Now, this also translates to something else in the everyday life, right? Not just with athletes. So again, your thoughts? 8774 The Herd, Devin Williams, is he the guy that inspires this change? I think as Yankees fans or baseball fans, people need to speak on and be like, yeah, let this dude have some sort of facial here. He looks like a lameo out there.

Sounds ridiculous, but I could totally get behind this change for the Yankees. Now, in fact, as a Mets fan, I hope they keep this and Devin Williams struggles, and the whole joke is he's not confident because then I'll just prove what a ridiculous rule this is. Well, hold on. Let's say underneath that, not Devin Williams per se, but somebody else, right? Underneath that, there's a weak chin. There's something going on. He looks like a goofball.

He has razor bumps or something. What if something that really takes him out of his game mentally? You're going to make him do that? I don't know. It's counterproductive. You could say that you got to be mentally tougher than that if you're going to be in the bigs. But the analogy would be. You know what?

You are on national TV every day. You're getting scrutinized all the time. It's a different. world we live in. I think there needs to be an adjustment. There would be an analogy at play here where think of your own job, whatever you do for a living. Driving a truck, working in an office, you're a barber,

you're a doctor, whatever the hell you do. Imagine if someone dictated in the strictest way unnecessary rules. I had a buddy that worked at a top 40 radio station. Guys playing Katie Perry and Bruno Mars back in the 2000s. And the boss tried to do a, yeah, I want all the radio hosts to wear

they have to wear a collar and pants every day and everyone's like, wait, do you mean to play Lady Gaga records? This is before we were streaming and social media and all that, right? You know when that works though? When you're like consistently the best

firm or whatever in the business, you can set those rules. The Yankees haven't been the Yankees for almost 20 years now. Oh, that is a great point. And I love to point out to Kavino to take off his blinders once in a while that I don't think in a world where it's a small world, small market, big market, doesn't matter the way it used to.

Everyone can watch every game. Social media is a big player in this. I don't think going to the Yankees has the same pull it did 20, 30 years ago. I don't think so. By the way, it's baseball, right? You got dudes getting dirty. You got dudes with wads of dipping their mouth. You got dudes, you know, adjusting their junk every five minutes.

You can't have facial hair. I think the Dodgers could get away with that kind of role right now because they've been consistently great now for almost a decade. kid and guys would be like, well, if that's what I got to do, play with their Dodgers. Like, Blake Snell would have, like, shaved himself hairless to sign with the Dodgers. He doesn't care. You know, that's a great point. That's a great point.

Here's another great point, I think, anyway, because it's my point. But, Rich, we've been at other jobs where they wanted us to do things their way. And that's fine, because you want to get paid and you're like, all right, whatever. But there's a different sense of confidence and chemistry that's created when people allow you, they hire you to be you. and you just do you. You think Devin Williams feels like he's himself right now? Right?

So again, they're forcing him to do something out of his comfort zone. I don't think that helps. What helps Rich and I here at Fox Sports Radio helps us feel great and comfortable is the fact that they let us be ourselves. I think there's a compromise. Now, I think a lot of us listening to Fox Sports Radio

on a personal level are at that stage of life when it comes to facial hair and you're getting ready tonight for your hot date Friday night at 8 going on a date Friday night at 8

she might be your mate June night bro Yeah tonight is your night bro Yeah tonight is your night bro A lot of guys Name that movie by the way That's twins man Kick it anything by you

Featuring Dan Gladen and Gary Guyetti So 20 twins A lot of the Fox Sports Radio listeners are at that stage of life where you're debating your facial hair meaning it's a really tough question

it's really crazy a little more gray's coming in yeah the grays are coming in you're like do I shave that do I die that what do I do and the question is this do I want to look younger and worse

or older and better meaning when you shave you look younger but you look younger But you look worse because now you got this fat bloated face. You look like a sausage all fat and tired. And then the scruff comes in and it's all gray looking a little bit here. It's all patchy.

But you look younger and people like, oh, you look younger when you shave. So do you want to look younger and worse or older, meaning you let the beard grow and you got the Dreymond Green going on, right? You got some grays coming in. A couple grays in the whiskers. Right. You got the old man winter thing going on. do you want to look older, but for whatever reason, you look age-appropriate and maybe a little better

because you're covering up more of that fat bloated face that we were talking about. When I saw this clip on Instagram and TikTok, props to Jesse Blockton. Jesse Blockton's a dude, do you want to look younger or worse? Or older and better? It's the dumbest yet applicable question for every guy that's like, you know, 30 to 50-ish.

Let me ask you, sexy Ryan, you got the beard. If you shave that, you'd probably look younger, but I could promise you you wouldn't look better. I get carded when I shave. That's why he stopped shaving. Oh, so look how young you look, but do you look better? Yeah, in that second verse of the song, they say younger or fatter. Because all of a sudden, when you shave that facial hair, you do realize, like, even if

it's just in your own head, you're like, look how much face I got now. Like a big fat soap. When Kavino shaves, his head turns into like Ernie or Stewing. Like, he gets like a fat face. Yeah. So it is really that tough question that you're faced with. And sometimes, like I said, you're getting ready. It's Valentine's Day.

You want to do what your woman appreciates the most. Every woman I've asked this question too. Some women want to take you out of the game and I'll give you a backwards advice. Like my girlfriend's like, yeah, I like you when you shave. I'm like, I look terrible when I shave. You're trying to take me out of the game. Do you think that's what she's trying to do? Yeah, I think so.

I think most women actually like when the guy looks. a little older, but it's better. So the question, Fox Sports Radio Nation, Colin Cowherd Nation, the herd, we ask you, do you want to look younger and worse or older? Because older's not necessarily a good thing. Older and better. Younger and worse or older and better as the earworm goes by Jesse Blockton.

Funny video to accompany that. And of course it ties back to the Yankees and everything else rules about your look, your facial hair, everything. Look at Nick Wright on TV right now. Nick Wright of Nazareth. He's got a sweet, sweet long hair with the suit and the beard, right?

He looks real confident with the facial hair. If he shaved that beard off. Come on. You think he feels as confident? Yeah, he looks younger. Hey, look how young he looks. But he probably looks worse. Do you want to look younger and worse

or older and better? As the memes from years back, remember James Hardin, James Soften Some guys that facial hair Is part of their look part of their vibe The end And I think Devin Williams of the Yankees

Unfortunately for you I feel like There's gonna be a curve A learning curve here Where he probably feels a little lame about himself Yeah I think the move right now Is to go older and better And make the most of it

Keep it groomed And look your best for your woman today I promise you I promise you Some people are thinking Who cares I'll tell you who cares A cool

just turned 30-year-old Major League Baseball pitcher who's not a bad-looking guy who's now being told, change your look just so you could come out of the bullpen so the ghost of George Steinbrenner is happy. Yeah, is he, I think he's...

He's got a girlfriend. He's got a girlfriend, yeah, we searched that. Maybe not for long with that baby face. That's what I'm saying. Like, you think a young dude in a new city wants to be forced to not look his coolest. So anyway, that's the story there

and I do think we'll see a change eventually. At least I hope. Now, here's where I want to go next with you guys. By the way, I think it aired a lot of swag to the Yankees. I think that's what they're missing. Like, imagine Aaron Judge coming out with a cool scroff or a sweet goate or something, right? I think it would just give a lot more of a cooler vibe to the Yankees and other organizations. But again, and as Bo pointed out, the Yankees haven't won in a long time.

And I know exactly how long because Kavino, the Yankees won the World Series, the day after your daughter was born and your daughter has a boyfriend and it's Valentine's Day. Yeah, she's 15 now. So it's been a minute. And before we move on, Reg, can I give some Valentine's Day love advice?

Speaking of shaving, remember to manscape tonight, guys. Oh, that's your advice for a rude? Just remember, hey, because you never know. Maybe you've got some love. Tonight is you're an apple. Just saying, bro. Well, hey, listen, I want to talk about the Eagles parade.

We'll get an update of what's going on because there's something about parades. I feel like I changed my mind on some aspects of parades. We'll get to that. Of course, Aaron Rogers, there's always updates on him. Where does he land next? That was the big debate, I think, on every TV and sports radio show. And I think I have the exact answer. I think everyone is missing the obvious answer as to where Aaron Rogers ends up. We'll get to that in a cave in a darkness retreat. That is possible, but I have the answer. Where does Aaron Rogers end up? and Jason Kelsey

when he's talking about the early days of his romance with Kylie Kelsey he made what I call a relationship disastrous move but somehow he stayed with her Were you going to say like faux pa

or some sort of lame pop culture word? No I think I was going to say something like inappropriate for the radio so I just had a so I had a chair relationship mistake so we'll get to Kelsey

Aaron Rogers some NFL all next convene on Rich in for Colin on The Herd. One more Herd? The Herd streams 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within the IHeart radio app. Search Herd to listen live or on demand whenever you'd like. 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. Well, 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 Smigel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.

Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in.

I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise. Breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athletes themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context, and ask the questions everybody wants answered.

Sports slice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them. Listen to Sports Slice on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Slicelife-Life 12 in the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. 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 I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What are you trying to get my pants off? What do you don't here, Ryan? Trying to romance me or something?

We're at work for God's sakes. Big sexy Ryan on the ones and twos. Bo Benson producing today. He's got your herd line news. Shout out to our Monday through Friday producer, though. Superstar Danny G. And shout out to Iowa Sam. And if you want to shout out, you just want to see more about us.

You want to chime in at Covino and Rich. In for Colin on the herd live from Retireak.com Studio. Fox Sports Radio. Again, I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich Davis. And we're going to talk halftime. We're going to get you involved. A lot of people still buzzing, believe it or not, about halftime.

I said when we started the show. I'm like one of the few humans on Earth that didn't love it or hate it. like I was like it was good I didn't love Kendrick Kumar's half time but I didn't hate it either I will say since since Sunday though all I hear in my head is

and I'm like shuffling around thinking I'm Kendra Kumar I'm embarrassing Do you want to look younger or worse That's in your head too? Yeah that's in my head right now And we're also going to talk Eagles The Eagles parade and everything that's going on today But right now your boy

Rich's boy Aaron Rogers Don't call my boy also a major topic of discussion. I find him intriguing. I find him interesting. I don't hate on Aaron Rogers. Again, I don't love him or hate him. Maybe I need to make a decision on Aaron. Do I love him or hate him? There's things I find.

I'm really about him and annoying, but I do root for greatness and I don't root against him in that way. I enjoyed Enigma. I think he's an interesting guy, the documentary on Netflix. But the question is, now that the Jets officially ruled him out and said, hey, we're moving out. without you. You have to figure where's his best landing spot?

Hold on. What does he do? What happens? Hold on. It's Valentine's Day. Can we talk about what really happened? Okay, sure. Aaron Rogers and the Jets, you know when you want to break up with someone, but you just don't have the Huevos to do it? So you make them do the breaking up? Yeah. That's sort of what the Jets did. Like, hey, listen, let's chat. By the way, if you hang out with us anymore, you can't go on Pat McAfee, you need to be at every meeting and there's going to be new rules around here.

They made it very difficult for Aaron Rogers to want to stay. I look at it this way. I like your Valentine's tie in there because relationships do work that way, unfortunately sometimes, but it's like with some of our previous employers, Rich. Around COVID time, we weren't fired. We weren't. And Rich often says we were. And I'm like, no, we weren't.

Stop saying that. Because it's not true. we were given an offer we couldn't accept therefore forcing your hand and forcing you out you know we were given an offer they were like yeah you can still work here but we're going to cut your pay and we're going to have instead of five days a week maybe you do one day a week and uh oh yeah your producer yeah he's not your producer

anymore but yeah we still want you here but that's getting fired no that's given an offer you couldn't accept so you're forced to move on and that's really what happened with Aaron Rogers Yeah, he could have stayed there, but under those conditions, no, I'll go and struggle with another team. I get what you're saying. If your boss says, hey, we're going to give you a pay cut and a non-compete, they're not firing you, but they're making it very easy for you to be like, I can't, I can't take this. They're forcing your hand.

And that's the Aaron Rogers. That's the Aaron Rogers jet scenario. But here's my thought on Aaron Rogers. Listen, much like everyone, I listen to and watch a heck of a lot of sports, TV, and radio. And I feel like our opinions are the most fun. And I also think sometimes they're the most ridiculous. but sometimes I'll be surprised that no one comes up with the obvious answer. Everyone on FS1, ESPN, NFL network, everyone's talking about where will Aaron Rogers end up?

Some people are adamant about a Steeler seems like to fit. But that others are saying... I told you I thought Vikings would be the most solid move. I hear my answer is just so you know, just for the sake of fun. I think Vikings would be a good fit because there's a lot of question marks there. And I think Aaron Rogers would want to go to a team that could plus. That could contend. But if he's also, or if he was willing to lose with the Jets,

why wouldn't he be willing to lose with the Giants? It's an easy transition. He already said he loved New York. I thought he said a lot of great things about New York City. I thought he handled that perfectly, his relationship with the city and everything else. So why not the Giants? You know why?

Because if you were frustrated on a 3 and 14 team, what are you just going to go to? Yeah, but if he was willing to lose with them. why not be willing to lose in the same state in the same city? You don't want to lose again. So that's why I say Giants and Tennessee are off the table because why would a guy... Well, I'm giving you two options. Then I'm saying I think Vikings would be the best favorite of the day. But the Vikings want to bring that

into their culture, which is great. The Vikings culture right now, they have a great head coach, they have great front office, the fans are happy. Then you see, he follows the Brett Farr pattern of awesome. Well, keep it in your pants then. Yeah. Except for that part. So the Vikings, I don't think they're on the table. Steelers, I've been reading up on where, you know, maybe Russell Wilson has won over the right people in the front office and they'll continue to give him a shot. So you start running out of teams. I know the other day on our show, we disqualified 28 of the 32 teams where it's like there's no way.

Right. Yeah, we actually did. We went through every team. Every team. We tried to be quick about it. So here's what we came up with. We came up with the one answer that no one has said, which is nowhere. but not that he retires.

The answer is simple. Think of the personality of Aaron Rogers. You could argue he's sort of full of himself. He's the guy that thinks he's the smartest dude in the room. That's sort of the characteristics people tend to say about him. Doesn't it make sense that Aaron Rogers doesn't sign with a team? And then, knock on wood, unfortunately, inevitably, a top-level starter will get hurt in the first quarter of the season.

First four or five games. Someone will go down and there'll be a team that's like, man, we have too much talent to call it a season. And then Aaron Rogers comes in to save the day and go on a playoff run. That could be, I don't know, God forbid

Herbert, high ankle sprain. Aaron Rogers can play? Dak Prescott gets heard. You know, Brock Purdy comes up limp. Something happens where a top level team needs a QB and there's Aaron Rogers just waiting to be the hero. Well, he would have to.

There goes my hero. I can be a hero, baby. All right. When a hero comes along, we're off to find a hero of the day. And his name could be Aaron Rogers. And they say that a hero can save me. Wow.

That's I be a FI. Yeah, I think I'm out of heroes. So, yeah. Now, we could be heroes. Damn it. You win. Crap. For just one day, if you're Aaron Rogers.

So that's where I believe Aaron Rogers will end up. I think this, it just makes too much sense to me because every other team. You did say top tier team though. So if it's some weak-ass bottom-dwelling team and the starter goes down,

yeah, that's not a fit. But all the teams we're talking about either have high hopes in the draft or Aaron Rogers doesn't fix what they have. Like Minnesota to me, If you're going to move on from Sam Darnold and say, hey, you know, listen, we're not going to pay him. We're ready for J.J. McCarthy. Then they're going to go straight to McCarthy.

There's no point in substituting. If you're going to pay someone, you might as well stick with Donald for a couple years that won you 14 games last year. What are you fiddling around with Aaron Rogers for? And then you could say, well, what about the Raiders? The Raiders? No, no, no. You're a Raiders guy. Let me tell you why, Ryan.

You're in a division with Mahomes, Herbert, Bow, Bow, Nicks, and Payton. Peyton who seemed to have got it together in Denver. Aaron Rogers is not this short-term fix for you guys either. I don't want him there. Culture reasons? Or just like... Culture reasons. Everything.

He's also washed. I know. I actually agree with that. If I was a GM, right? If you're a GM of a team, do you want that guy to be the dude that sets the culture and the tone for your team? I'm looking forward. Nothing against him.

One of the greats. Sure, but I think that his days are done. And I don't think he could actually be that dude again at this stage, coming off that injury, you know, two bad seasons. Do I wish him the best? Do I root for greatness? Do you root for the old guy to still have some in him? Of course.

But if I'm looking forward and I got a young team, he's not the guy I want. So I actually agree with Ryan there. So my answer is he isn't a darkness retreat somewhere. and he is looking elsewhere in the world of broadcasting. Look, part of not being able to do McAfee and stuff shows that his interest is there. What does he make in a million dollars a year doing that? Yeah, he'd make a hell of a lot more doing football,

but he knows the future is in, broadcasting or hosting or doing whatever else he plans on doing in the future. And I think that's where he looks forward and he moves forward. I think he's better suited there. I hate to say this because it's our world, and I hate the idea that someone could enter our world and just immediately be successful at it. but just based on people loving or hating Aaron Rogers,

if he decided to do a, quote, like, wellness and conspiracy podcast, it would be successful. He'd be making millions of dollars. He'd have an RFK on. He'd have Rogan on. And by the way, he's realized that he likes doing that, and that's kind of who he is now. And he loves to live in his truth.

So Aaron Rogers could do that, but I'm telling you, the answer is simple. He doesn't start the season with someone. Aaron Rogers stays in shape and he's on standby waiting to just say hi. Yeah, but don't you have to be mentally there? Aaron Rogers would argue that he's the most mentally ready guy. That's his whole vibe. Like, you know, he's mentally focused. So the prediction, if you're listening between the lines here, is he doesn't play.

He sits it out. Someone goes down. Has to be a good team, contending team. A mid-season. And then they pull him out and they're like, hey, you, we need you. Honestly, it's like, again, I don't want to, I'm certainly not trying to jinx anyone, but let's say. Is his ego getting away and say, look, you didn't want me before, but now you want me? No, no, I think playing hero would be so perfect for his personality.

Let's say Anthony Richardson, and again, I'm not wishing injury on any of these guys, but it's inevitable that someone will go down. Let's say the cults are leading in otherwise crappy division. You know, they're six and four in the AFC South, 10 games in, and, oh, no, No, they go down. We don't want to throw away the season. Aaron Rogers to the rescue. Dallas rebounds.

The Cowboys are, you know, again, like five and four and, you know, battling for a wild card. Dak is down. They're not going to, Cooper Rush ain't doing it anymore. That's the team that I think makes the most sense with what you're saying here. That's something Dallas would absolutely do. Jerry Jones. Yeah, I'm going to roll the dice, baby, yeah.

Yeah, Jerry would love that. That would be headlines for Dallas for months. Yeah, he would absolutely do that. So you're right. He sounds like a Cowboys. move, right? Sell some tickets. How about them capers? Add to the circus. Yeah. Add to that weird vibe

of big names and people just come to see and he still make money out of it. I was talking to our dude, Jonas, from two pros and a cup of Joe. And he's like, Aaron Rogers to him makes sense from my 49ers. And I said, yeah, I get it. I like Brock. I don't

think Brock's worth 55 to 60 million a year. I like I like Brock making $45 to $50 million. a year. But there is a part of you that's like with Kyle Shannahan's system doesn't make sense to say Aaron Rogers, two-year

deal, and then the 49ers draft a quarterback that suits Kyle Shanahan's system. Now you're pivoting completely away from the success you had with Purdy the last couple of years, but that's one of the few situations that would be a

ballsy chance that, who knows? It's a childhood team, right? So that's the only well, yeah, that's actually kind of cool. much like the old old school NFL films you make the call fox sports radio nation what do you think of rich's exact answer on what happens to aaron rogers well it's time for beau filling in with the herd line news turn on the news this is the herd line news well guys uh as the great ben maller says the uh the better story is usually in the losing locker room We're going to talk about the Kansas City Chiefs here for a second. The Athletic is reporting that the chiefs have given Tidon, Travis Kelsey,

a soft deadline of March 14th to make his decision on whether he's going to return or retire from the NFL. You know it's not a good look, Beau, and I know it's social media. The more I watched the videos, I wouldn't be too upset if he retired. I mean, he's my boy and everything, but he could have blocked for me a few times where he was just standing there, and I took a lot of hits running around for my life as he just watched. Hey Patrick, how do you feel about your dad fighting John Rocker? I'm devastated, mortified, I'm trying to put a stop to it. I know it's social media, but have you seen those isolated clips on certain plays where Kelsey literally just stood there?

Yeah, the one where Patrick is scrambling around running for his life. And then if the hole didn't happen, that could have been a fumble and the Eagles would have recovered it. That was just not a great look. It looks so lazy. It looks so bad. He didn't sound like someone that's ready to come back when he was. doing his podcast with Jason Kelsey. I wouldn't be shocked if he

hangs him up. I know it sounds ridiculous because oh and if he does he goes out on a good note. He never stunk really, so he's a three time. He's a three-time Super Bowl champion. He's dating the most popular woman on planet Earth. He's an automatic Hall of Famer. He's an automatic Hall of Famer and he has

a hundred million dollar podcast. I hate to say, he doesn't really need the NFL. Just go. But I do think when push comes to shove, I think he's going to do what his brother did. come back for a year because nobody wants to go out losing the Super Bowl. Give it one more run. Yeah, one more run, but I don't know if they're

going to be that great next year. Yeah. Yeah. Teams that were great, the Los Angeles Dodgers, obviously they won the World Series. Manager Dave Roberts is optimistic that he and the team will be able to reach an agreement on a contract extension before the end of spring training. You know, we talked to the

very controversial, yet likable to us, Kurt Chilling was on our show Radio Row in New Orleans. Some people think he's a maniac. I found him to be a fun conversation either way. Fun baseball conversation. He said that Dave Roberts from the minute he met him, he said, like I sort of knew, this guy has the makeup of a leader.

Yes, sung his praises for sure. And he even said there's never been a more momentum swinging moment than when Dave Roberts stole that base in 04. So you know what? You know, Bo, since I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I hear you and Danny G. and Monty and all the Dodgers fans always talking, Dave Roberts is one of those guys you love to hate once in all. but at the end of the day, he's your god.

He went from being fired when they were down to one to the Padres to lifetime contract. People love him. Two World Series wins, like easy. Yeah. He's a lifer. He's the best Dodgers manager in history. He might have the resume to be just the best manager in baseball history when all said and does. He's fan to, yeah, we'll see where this goes because you guys are pretty stacked.

Yeah. Do you think the Dodgers have a shot? I know that we're talking way too early, but what's the record? 118 wins by the Mariners? No, yeah. No, it's 116. 116? Yeah, I think it's 116.

They're not, they're going to spend all of August running out AAA lineups because they're going to have clinched the NOS by them. Because nobody else in that division is serious about competing. I mean, they very well could be like 112 and 50. Yeah, I think that's probably pretty accurate. Yeah, the 2001 Mariners 116 wins. I'm, you know, I'm not a big baseball gambling guy, but I might pound that over. Yeah, I think it's like 10. Something like 103.

I saw a place where it was 103, and, you know, I saw a place where it was 10bling. I would hammer the over on that. I think that's a pretty safe bed. I really do, yeah. All right. Last one here. The city of Philadelphia, obviously celebrating the Eagles championship. The blood alcohol level out there might just be pure alcohol at this point.

People later, I'm past that with cheese was on them. As the buses were passing by, the crowd was very excited to see Cooper DeGine started yelling coop and all that stuff, except they were yelling at Reed Blankenship. The other exciting white. who had to correct the crowd and say, no, I'm read. Wrong white guy. Yeah, wrong white guy. Racist.

Yeah. That's how we were past all that. Racist. Thank you, Bo. That's your herd line news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Hurdline News.

Well, you talked about Travis Kelsey. How about Jason Kelsey and his wife talking about one of their first dates? It's a little football. It's a little advice on romance. And I know.

Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to... 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. Well, 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, 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.

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 I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Who, me?

Me? Him? Hey, Iowa, Sam. Did you grab my ass? But you wanted to. Emilio! Everybody's doing the dance. Met it to Roxbury.

Flushing it back on a Friday. What is love? And who let the dogs out? The question's burning inside Kavino's brain. That's Kavino. I'm Rich. C&R. In for Colin. the herd. Now, a lot to get to, a lot of NFL, NBA.

We're now focusing our minds on NBA All-Star Weekend, and then after that, then you've got to see what starts happening with some of these trades and where these teams end up now. I think Luca to the Lakers are starting to see how awesome

that's looking. The curse of Luca, you see everyone everyone on Dallas is now injured? I know, that's wild, right? Again, Kavino and Rich in for Colin on the herd, the numbers, 7-7 for The Herd. You can find us at Covino and Rich. And please check our podcast, search Covino and Rich. We're on Monday through Friday, 5 to 7 on the East right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2 to 4 on the West live from L.A. But because it's the weekend of love, before we get into all the NBA and Jimmy Butler's doo-dustain and all that other stuff that's going on this weekend. We got to talk about this Jason Kelsey thing because that's what you're going. You were talking about Jason and Kylie Kelsey. I'm not going to lie to you. This morning before the show, Kavino and I walked across the street to Starbucks, had to get old iced coffee, wake up for the herd.

And I said, Kavino, you're a terrible cook, right? And he's like, yeah, the worst. Shout out to Hello Fresh. That helps. I was Sam. Bo, have you ever cooked for a woman in your life, or is that just not your style? Are you a guy that could put together a nice meal for a woman? Oh, yeah, I think so.

I've given time and opportunity. Yeah. I think it's like a skill that some guys have, and some guys are clueless in the kitchen. Like, you know, they could grill, but the idea of putting a meal together, it's just not in their wheelhouse. I mean, being a dad forced me to learn the basics.

When I say the basics, I mean, like making eggs. Bro, I remember Kavino came into work one day, and he was all excited. He's like, bro, I scrambled an egg from my daughter. I'm like, what do you want to cook? I felt like Randy Savage. I'm so proud of my salad. Does your kid actually eat your cooking at least?

Barely. Yeah, mine doesn't. Mine doesn't. They just said no and then they wanted the dino nuggies. But again, I have learned through certain things like Hello Fresh. Even though we have a code, this isn't a commercial. I'm serious. We have a code, CR Show 10 FM, CR show 10 free meals at Hello Fresh.

If you subscribe. It has taught me that it really is just following simple steps. Yeah. And I can do that, which means, oh, I can cook, I guess, if I wore. It's just no one ever taught me. But then again, putting together furniture always has instructions or directions, but we all fail with that. I mean, I could do that stuff.

Look, I blame my parents. I bring up the idea, could you cook for a woman if you had to? Because I saw a headline, and I'm such a dope. I'd be honest with you, I saw the headline. It said, Jason Kelsey. You don't have to be honest. We all know that. Jason Kelsey, I baked air biscuits on my second date with Kylie.

And I'm like, Kavino, even Kelsey could cook. he cooked air biscuits. I'm like, what are air biscuits? Did I read the article? Not cooking. Apparently, that's slang for he farted. Yeah, but you mean apparently? We've been doing radio forever. You've heard the term air biscuits?

Of course. I feel like I invented air biscuits. I was saying, did you know the term air biscuits meant farted? Maybe. I mean, if you saw the headline. How about something called deductive reasoning or having a brain? Hold on. You can't figure out the fact that air biscuits and what that means? A dunce.

If you saw the headline. reasoning, Kelsey. Wait, if you saw the headline, Jason Kelsey, and it's a beautiful picture of him and his wife,

and it said he baked her air biscuits. Would you assume that meant he farted? Yes. Anyway, so Rich, honestly, Rich was like, you should be embarrassed.

I'm like, why? He's like, even Jason Kelsey could cook and you can't. And I'm like, what do you mean he could cook? And then we realized that, oh, no, he didn't make anything for his wife.

He's just farting on her all the time. Nothing says romance on Valentine's weekend like that. Nothing gets a woman all hot and wanting you more than you farting on her. Let me tell you. Now, Jason Kelsey, I wanted to bring this up because it is Valentine's Day, and I want to give everyone a piece of advice. Jason Kelsey, he's a man that we could all look and say, what a guy, right? He's a man's man, burly man, successful.

I mean, the best of what he did in the NFL, absolutely. He's got a beautiful, he's got a big heart, beautiful, talented wife. He's a dad of multiple kids. Like, Jason Kelsey seems like a good dude. But get this. On his second date with Kylie. Apparently they went ice skating. What are they like Rocky and Adrian?

Yeah, absolutely. Ice is stupid. People standing on ice are more stupid. We all know how Polly feels. Ice is stupid. He says ice is stupid, but he loves snow cones. I remember. You like Polly, you like snow going to buy a snow cone machine, right, Polly?

So he goes ice skating with Kylie on their second date. And as the story goes, as he's bending down to put on his ice skates, and so it's for it in front of Kylie. on date number two. And you could say that, oh, Rich, maybe you're just not comfortable with your wife. I've built my wife over 10 years now. I still do not let them rip in front of her. I feel like it's disrespectful.

I feel like how are you supposed to keep the romance alive? If you're that guy that's like, honey, pull my finger. To me, I just had to throw it out there. We can move on in a few. But I just have to remind everyone, you're doing no favors to your role. romance and your love life. That's a nice way of putting it. Right. It's not the most welcoming of gestures, right? Like, hey, you want to get sexy right now and maybe have some fun in the funk shop? You can't expect your wife to think of you in a filthy, dirty way if you're

farting. I never understood this for the life of me. Well, Kylie Kelsey also must have the patience of an angel because I think their first date, like he's told the story where, like, his teammates had to carry him out of the bar because he passed out drunk. You know, this is date number two. You know, she clearly is the type that, um,

is very understanding or actually, is charmed by his behavior. He's a burly man's man. Oh, he's a man. Thanks. Thanks. Oh,

what a man. Oh. What a mighty good man. When's, Herculees. Herculees. When is date number three. Yeah,

exactly. But, so this is a particular relationship that works in this way. But if our other associate producer video guy, Spot was here, he would defend this. Spot does our videos at Covino and Rich if you want to see what we do. And Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page along with Elijah. Spot is one of those guys that is like an advocate that there should be no holds barred and there should be total freedom in the relationship and that they both do it.

And I'm like, yeah, there's a level of respect that I give and I also want in return because I also, I would be so like almost mortified and turned off if that happened. Like accidents happen. That I understand. Like, hey, we're humans. Accidents happen. Of course people get sick. People, you know.

But like to be like, you know, doing that in my presence, I'd be like, what? Yeah. I don't even do that. I'm an opposed guy. As a reminder on Valentine's Day. Keep the romance a lie. When I saw the headline that Jason Kelsey is baking air biscuits. I can't believe you never heard of that.

Then. I just want to remind all of you, you're doing no favors for your love life by just being gross in front of your significant out there. Because you're thinking about all the things you may want the herd to do to you. Guess what's not going to help that cause? Honey, the biscuits are done. Bates you something. So, hey, just a reminder from Kavino and Rich to you on Valentine's Day.

In for the herd. We got some more NFL. We got some NBA, a lot of fun on a Friday show. More next. Right here. 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. 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.
