You got to see this video. I just posted at Covino and Rich. I was Sam walks in the studio and he starts doing the air yo-yo saying that he has his yo-yo skills. And I don't know why. Just look at your face, Iowa Sam, makes me laugh. It started because he said he went to the park

to walk the dog. And I asked him, oh, do yo-yo? Do you have yo-yo tricks? Is that what you mean? Get it walking the dog. And he's like, no. So he started doing that. And it's funny as hell.

You can see it at Covino. and rich Iowa Sam is on the ones and two. What up, Sam. He does look like a competitive yo-yo. He is. He probably is. And he listens to Yo-Yo Ma, he told me. That's the name my yo-yo. I know.

So me and Ma, you know, go down to the park, walk the dog. Danny G. is super producing at 87799 on Fox. Spots got your midweek major this hour, and DB's here. We're glad you're here. The funniest part of the video is at the end. Big Mike who runs this place? Who? walks in, he's like, where's going on in here?

It's not just Sam pretending to do the air yo-yo. But I hope you had a great Tuesday. An L.A. Lucas sort of Tuesday. Lakers sort of Tuesday night, man. Watch that whole game. And I was one of what, 2.5 million that tuned in to see the Lakers beat the Mavericks and to see a rejuvenated LeBron James. And most watched NBA games so far this season.

That's wild. how the stats are in. But 19 points for Luca. Everybody rallied around them. And as Collins said, it looks like JJ Reddick found the code, the LeBron code, because LeBron has his quarterback. Not because Luca's a great passer. You see how that works with LeBron.

And they look pretty, they look pretty rejuvenated. They look like straight up contenders now with Luca Donchick. Well, I mean, it was a great game, but if you listened to yesterday, show. That was the idiot that's like over. I thought Luca was going to light it up.

He did what, six or 17 from the floor. 12 assists though, 19 points. Yeah, he filled the stat sheet, but they had double team on them the entire game. Yeah, I should have thought of that, but I lost our parlay yesterday. Dan Byer, I'll give him credit. He said maybe the Mavericks would cover and Luca on the under. I should take DB's word.

But, yeah, the, he's a competitive game. It was. And Vegas. LeBron went off in the fourth quarter. It just shows you when, I mean, I'm not saying anything about a fix, but Vegas is so good sometimes. The point spread was eight and a half or nine, depending on where you looked. Lakers won by eight. Yeah, there was this ticcicc foul on Luca at the end of the game, and that changed things for people who gambled. So, last night, since we brought it up, you know, Luca with the win, that had to feel good.

They were cheering. Thank you, Nico. Thank you, Nico. And he stared him down, one of the greatest photo. I don't know if you saw that photo. Yes, of course. Yeah. That was great.

And the story leading up to it was that he had Luca bought free parking for the fans across the street. I don't know if Spott's going to talk about that in midweek major. Either that or he's just trying to distract me. I won't have time for it now. Well, Spott, put that in your midweek major. It wasn't my midweek major. You know what? Keep it there because we're going to get to all those stories coming up.

But last night, well, you were watching the last night. while you were watching the Lakers. I did as well, but after that, just a heads up. Danny G. and I've been talking about this show. I swear by my words here. Paradise on Hulu. Episode 7, the most recent episode

could very well be the most action-packed, stressful, awesome episode of a show since Game of Thrones Red Wedding. Come on, dude. Danny, have you watched the most recent? No, I'm not caught up. Bro. I'm telling you, watch tonight with Brenda.

you're going to love it. It's really a fantastic show since Greg Brady lost his talisman in Hawaii. Since then, no. When you talk about best episodes of a show ever, I promise you. Anyone that's watching Paradise with Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, Danny, watch episode seven, and please text me immediately when your heart's pounding. Since Night Rider was on different strokes, there's a great episode. Since I know your favorite episode was when Maggie saw her,

father, the ghost of him on the treadmill on growing pants? Yeah, that was a good one. No way. You're saying it's up there with those classic episodes. So, Paradise, Hulu, well worth it, my favorite show on TV, since shrinking. That was the last one. We were both in agreement on. Yesterday we talked about

the latest season of Love is Blind for a minute. Rich, we forgot to talk about the dude on there who admitted to his addiction to ibuprofen. Yeah, I don't want to downplay like anyone's addiction, but he made it seem like I was like he's addicted to what? First, I took four.

That was his big dramatic story. My joints feel so good. I was up to six and then a couple weeks later I took eight of them. Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't want to downplay any drug addiction, but it did seem a bit like, that's, okay, well, though. I mean, geez, if you can take away those aches and pains. I get it. My goodness. I didn't know ibuprofen was habit form.

I didn't know that either. Well, the pain-freeness of it is what's the. I want to see. what 20 of those feel like. Geez, be careful out there with your Advil and Tylenol. Now, I want to change gears for a second.

We are going to get to midweek major. Do you want to tell us about your Flintstone vitamin problem, Rich, or no? It took four. I took four. Your mega dosing issue is getting out of hand. You know what? I feel like part of my knock on wood trying to stay healthy,

vitamin D. I've been taking a vitamin D pill every day since the COVID days when everyone's like, you know, everyone's vitamin D deficient. I've been taking it every day. and again, knock on wood, all these people are gross, and I feel good. I pointed to you when I said gross. I was taking that horseworm medication too, Richie. That everyone was taking.

Ivermected. Joe Rogan told me. That's good stuff. Let me give you every, let me give everyone a great tip. No, thank you. So, my son plays T-ball. I've talked about this. We're all in that same boat.

If you're living that mom or dad life, your kids are playing tea ball and softball. gymnastics, dance, soccer, flag football. We're a sports network. Kids sports will dominate your time if you let it. But something was presented to the Little League. I keep saying Little League. It's actually pony ball. My son is in West Hills Pony Ball out here in Los Angeles.

And they presented an opportunity that I thought was awesome. May I think 18th or 16th, one of those. there's the game where pony ball and little league are invited to Dodger Stadium where the kids could walk the field before the game and the players give them high fives and a couple autographs here and there. When I was a kid,

I would have prayed to do something like that. Imagine, did you walk around Yankee Stadium as a kid? No. Did I walk around Shea Stadium as a kid? No way. Didn't even seem like a possibility. So I know a lot of the Little Leagues and the pony ball leagues out here in LA, do that with the Dodgers.

And I just feel like my kids are going to have so much fun doing it. So if they offer that in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Texas, New York, Philly, Atlanta, if your team has Little League pony ball day where kids can participate in this, I feel like your obligation as a dad or mom to do it. Oh, absolutely, man. I always, my only reference to anything close to that is in the Bad News Bears when they played at the Astrodome. Yeah.

Because I was like, how do they do that? They play little league games in a major league field? Get out of here. The possibility of ever even stepping foot on a major league field to me was so not possible as a kid. That's amazing. So if your kids in T-ball, Little League, pony ball, whatever they're doing. My first step on a major league field was with you when we were invited to City Field.

Yeah. Got to go see batting. We worked for SNY home of the Mets and Jets and all things New York sports. Because we work for the network. We got to go on the field and hang and stuff. So I had to work for the network to get my stupid foot on the field. Your son, all he has to do is pick his nose. We're walking around in the middle of May, Dodger Stadium.

Dan Byer, did they do this in Miliwaqa? Like, I feel like this is something I see so many little kids do. I never did. I don't know. You know, in my hometown at the time was about four hours from Milwaukee. So it wasn't really realistic at that point. But they may have, I feel like kids. have been more accessible over the last 25 years to stuff like that.

I remember covering the Brewers 20-some years ago, and then every Sunday was Run the Bases Day, where the fans line up at first base. They just walked down the seats and down to the field, and then they could run around to home, and then they just exit back up. That's like a dream, dude. The way I'm doing that is if I'm streaking or if I'm jumping in.

Like, where am I going to get that opportunity? Most people only do that and then get arrested. Right. Actually, that's not my dream anyway, Rich, So good for your kids because I still want to ride around on a horse like Wade Boggs. That's my fantasy. Is that your fantasy? Yeah, they held my finger out like, yeah.

On a horse. Well, you have his hairline. Wade Box. You have old school Wade Boggs hairline. That's true. Yes, old school. Before the toupee. Wade Boggs, dude.

So just a reminder, we can move on. But if your baseball team in your city provides this day or days for the kids, I can't see why your little son or daughter wouldn't have such joy. this. I can't wait to walk my little boy around Dodger Stadium. Then again, do they really know how special it is? It's only special to you because you've never done it. It always seemed like a fantasy.

I'm just saying for conversation's sake, do you really think your son is going to be like, this is unbelievable? I don't know. He should. You hope he does. You're going to get a kick out of it as well because then you'll start to remember the what happened in those certain spots. I don't know if you guys get nostalgia.

Yes, of course. Sit there and think of this play happened there. where Freddie Freeman did his famous bat flip. Dan Byer, I'm not even joking. What you just described is something I acted out, one of my few fun moments. I went on the field at Chase Stadium in 08 before they tore it down. I have a pitcher of me.

Yeah, but you fell in because you drank too much, right? Then you just stumble in? Yeah, I just stole it. I got to go on the field. Actually, he took a line drive to the head, and he passed out and fell into the field. I got to go behind the first base bag, and I had my glove on me.

I put the glove down like I was Bill Buckner. Sure. And then I went to the left field wall and jumped up where Andy Chavez tried to make the catch. I tried to reenact. Oh, that's great. Some fun moments in match history. So I think it's pretty cool that, again, if you have that opportunity with your kids, doesn't need to be Dodgers or Manson.

You could take your son Ben to where they'd never got a no-hitter before when Johan Santana let up the double. It was a no-hitter. You could hit it. Yo, this is where the double happened. Right there. It was a no-hitter. No, it wasn't. You can show them.

There was no replay back then. There was no hitter. You could show them that. Legendary moment. So. No, that's so cool, man. I wish I had that opportunity. So anyway, just figure I throw it out there because it's that time of year where Little League and pony ball and all this stuff is starting in so many cities across the country that if they offer that day like, hey, we're going to do a day at the stadium.

I promise you. I feel like your kids would love it. If not, you know what, you'd love it seeing through your kids' eyes. The end. Now, the NFL. Let's go to football for a second. every year the NFL's been doing this

and I think it's great I feel there to be nothing more honest when blind surveys are taken amongst teams and they get to tell the truth 1,695 NFL players provided feedback about their teams

and it's the 2025 NFL team report card basically which teams have the most favorable atmospheres locker rooms, clubhouses, family accommodations, that sort of stuff. I'll tell you what, I'm going to be truthful with you. I've worked with companies.

Not this one. We've never been given the opportunity here at Fox Sports Radio. But I've worked in companies where they're like, hey, fill out this employee survey and tell us what you really think. And my first thought is, I'm not telling you that. You think I don't think you could track it to me? I get all weird about that. Like, fill out this survey. How do you really feel about it?

serious X-M or ESPN or no way am I going to be honest You've exposed the coffee here live on the air before though. Coffee here is awful. But I will say I love that these players, they have nothing to lose and it is a blind survey, as I say

right? So these guys get to rate the facilities, how the organizations treat families, how they handle free agency, how they handle everything. And Kavino, head coach, ownership, everything. Team travel, weight room, all that.

Sign your report card. Snacks. And give it back tomorrow. What do we got? What teams are? And here's you got to, what you got to ask yourself also. Is it consistent with success?

Meaning, are players on successful teams always going to be happiest? Is it almost like, you know, if your team stinks, like there's just a general sense of unhappiness? Or are there sometimes like, well, the team stinks,

but they treat you well? I don't know if there's a lot of correlation because didn't the chiefs get a bad rating? The chiefs were like the bottom of the list. Bottom of the barrel last season, yeah. Right?

So I don't know if there's a correlation to like, yeah, bad team, bad atmosphere. Good team. And you could also argue that if you're on a successful winning team that you demand more out of your facilities, which means you may give them a lower grade from the get-go. Like one may feed the other. Well, the Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, and the Vikings were the only teams to get an A-plus for head coach and ownership. So they were the only teams. to get A plus in that area.

But the gist of the whole story here is that when it comes to favorable atmospheres, overall the dolphins scored the best and the Cardinals scored the worst. What I think is interesting with the Cardinals portion of it, and you'll see this with other teams. The Cardinals are a family business, depending on the Bidwell business for so long. You look at some of the other family business teams, it's not maybe not all of them,

but Steelers, Chiefs, where we think like, oh, Rooney family, Hunt family you guys just mentioned. Yeah, the legacy. Yes, absolutely. They know football. And their ratings aren't as high as some of the, I don't want to say newer owners, because Arthur Blank's been there a while and, you know, Ziggie Wilf's been in Minnesota for a while. But some of the, like, the longer franchises are really behind the times in keeping their players happy with things, which I thought was interesting. That's a great observation, D.B.

You would think, you're right. You think these legacy teams with, you know, owners for, you know, not centuries, but generations that, man, Kavino, they must have it on lock. But they don't. And not to pull it back to my Mets, it's a different sport and everything, but what is the big thing that every free agent talks about when they say the Mets? Since Steve Cohen took over how they treat the families and how they are as people. And that means more, don't you feel like that means more now than ever in any sport?

Because they all make so much money. I think more so now there's an emphasis on how are they to my wife and kids? How are the facilities? How are the trainers? All these things matter for sure. I think they mean more. Would you agree that they mean more now than ever? Seems that way.

I mean, but I think that we as fans don't always factor that in as a reason as to why these players want to be there. Lifestyle. How they treat their kids. I mean, the dolphins. All these things matter. The dolphins haven't had a really great run, right? One postseason appearance in the last couple of years. The dolphins aren't winning double-digit games every year.

McDaniel's a likable coach. Ownership treats them well. Before that there was the rub with Brian Flores and all that, which wasn't a friendly situation. But the dolphins, like we said, they scored pretty much the best. They got A's across the board. Yeah. When you're doing a quick glance, like your kids report guard. I was going to say that it's like Miami Dolphers.

Yeah, at a glance. Yeah, at a glance, the top 11 teams here. Packers, Saints, Ravens, commanders, Texans, Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, Falcons, Vikings, dolphins. And at a glance, the lowest scores you see at a glance from the top 11, the commanders in the training room got a C plus. That's kind of low because everybody's A and B, everything. And team travel, C plus for the Chargers.

And then when you dive into that stuff, you're like C plus, Then you realize the stuff that we don't know, Dan Byer, like, some teams have such better accommodations than others. I remember watching a documentary about the 49ers, and it was at Joe Montana, the Joe Cool documentary, Bill Walsh and Eddie DeBardo and that ownership in the Niners back in the day. They made sure the 49ers had the best high class, first class planes and facilities and stayed at the best hotels. like they treated the 49er stars like the Montana's and Ronnie Lotz and Steve Youngs and they treated them like stars.

The Patriots have their own plane and the players ripped it. Like they were not happy. You look at New England. New England was 31st out of 32 teams. And we're talking about Bob Kraft and going to the Hall of Fame and doing all this stuff for all the wins and stuff like that. But this stuff is what is, you know, tells a lot. It's eye opening. And you know, we're trying to figure out why.

why in the world Stafford would want to leave L.A. Or how could that even be a possibility? They didn't even make the top 11 here. But the Raiders did. I know it's a trend in workplaces now. But there's a commonality between the two places you and I work. Danny's Raiders were A's across the board. A minuses when it comes to, again, head coach, team travel, locker room.

They got an A plus plus in handsome ownership? Handsome ownership. Oh, no, I'm sorry. No, it's a B. Tom Brady. No, no. Davis brought it down. It's a sincere.

But the two places you and I have worked, and the commonality between Beniggins and Wendy's, what two places are you talking about? We did work there. Guys, close your eyes and listen. Ready? Yeah. Welcome to Wendy's. Can I take your order?

Oh, that's you. Oh, man, that was my start. Did Wendy's get an edge because everybody's on the headset so they know what you get drive-through? I saw a fast food show about it that said that's why Wendy's is so quick. I was the master of the drive-thru. In fact, that's probably why I'm on the radio. Rich only wore that because Britney Spears wore one.

And he changed the culture of Wendy's. I changed the culture of drive-thrus. People don't know that. Dave Thomas and I had a meeting. But the one thing that I do love about Fox Sports Radio and our other part-time stuff and stuff we do with Sirius XM, that the narrative of like,

hey, listen, if you need a day to do something with your kids, do it. And think about that as far as teams go. We talked about how teams treat wives and family. That is so important. Makes you feel good, yeah. Like if you... It's one thing to preach like we're a family,

but to actually act like it and really deliver on it. That's another thing, too. A lot of people say those things, but they don't mean it. If you're a hard worker, which we come in here every day and try to have a lot of fun, you know, we're not taking days off randomly. We're not. We're showing up here every single day. If you told the boss, hey, my daughter's got a recital.

I got to leave a little early one day. He's the type of guy that would be like, absolutely. Yeah, and that makes you want to work harder when you're here, you know, so that you can do things like that. Those things do matter. And again, if you just joined us, Kavino and Rich going over the NFL, the 2025 NFL team report cards. And the other category can out. Props to the Dolphins and Cardinals need to step their game up. The other category I think is super important is the facilities and the gyms and stuff because these guys are trying to stay healthy through a 17 game, 18 week schedule.

And when you have weak-ass facilities and like, remember in Major League where the ice tubs and the hot tubs didn't work? I get these damn. You need to have great facilities. And I think that's another thing. If you were a player, my priorities would be besides how much money you pay me, you're going to treat my family good? And you're going to take care of my body as a player on your team. And those two categories are clearly obvious in these surveys. Yep.

So props again. and I wish, yeah, I wish we had, no, I don't wish we had these, but I guess you get some honest results and you can make some good changes out of this. So maybe it's an eye opener for the Cardinals to be like, yeah, we need to step our facilities. You want Iowa, Sam and Dan Nogian Spot to do surveys how it's like to work with our shelves? I just want better snacks in the vending machine. That's all. Okay.

Go to your room. Study harder. Welcome back to the show. Covino and Rich, I.O. Sam, playing some old school Jackson 5. We got some Danny G on standby, waiting just to say hi. 87799 on Fox is our number. Everything at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. again live from the tire rack.com studio.

And we do it every Wednesday. You ready? Dude, he guys a full eight minutes. Midweek major. Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the week with Midweek Major. Ooh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say.

That's so midweek. Definitely major. C&R scoring. Midweek Major. I gotta go quick because we got to give spot seven full minutes it looks like on the clock right now. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of the segment, we love to roll the two big red love dice in the main studio. I rolled your sticky red love dice, Danny Jee. I rolled the 10.

So I frustratedly just dropped them and got a six. You're up first. That means Kovino gets first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom, from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, body boy. All right. I'll give you a few more details. We'll jump right in on that story that you mentioned earlier. When you stole it from me, Luca and the

Lakers took on his ex, the Mabs last night, beating them 107 to 99. While this was the first time Luca faced the Mavs, he certainly knew how to win over the new LA fan base, and that's by offering of free parking, parking, which is a very scarce thing here in L.A. As fans flocked to

Crypto.com Arena for the game, they were met with a sign that read free parking courtesy of Luca, which I thought was cool. The lot was across from L.A. live, which is where c.com arena is, and fans expressed their gratitude on social.

Lucas spoke after the game saying he faced some emotions facing his old team, but he goes little by little and every day is better, midweeker major. 19 points, nice win, rejuvenated team. I'm loving it, but I have questions. Okay. Like Mark Anthony, I need to know. Yes.

You know on The Bachelor, when the Bachelor provides all these fun dates, but it's really not the Bachelor doing it, he just goes to the network and he says, yeah, can you get me a cake for this girl and I want to take her on a helicopter ride. Do you mean when the girl's like, oh my God, this ring? And it's like, yeah, provided by the show. Yeah. Does Luca really pay for parking

for everybody? Or does he go to the Lakers and say, you know, I want to do something for the fans. Can we write this off? Hey, a genie bus. Can you expense this for me? Just according to the story, him and who is it, Jordan Brand. Yeah, I was going to say. Both paid for it out of their own pockets.

That's cool. That I think is cool. I think it's a great way to win people over. We always say, kill them with kindness here on the show. When we were the new guys, you're bringing donuts all the time. People love you. This is his version of giving donuts and Buffalo Wild Wings to all the fans who love them already. Jumpman. Also, it is a major story. Park it ain't cheap. I'll tell you that much. Yeah, parking's not cheap. Especially by crypto. Crypto.com right now. Dude, it's like $120 in some of those lots. And you want him to have a great relationship with the fans. I also think it's major. Definitely major. And by the way, it reminds us that we do, we owe people food around here. It's

been a minute. It's been a minute. Do we all people still like us? Let's bring some pizza on Friday. When's Kelvin going to buy us? Calvin's new. When is he going to buy us wings? Yeah, you know, let's get some food on Friday. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You know, I think Luca, we underestimate what a shock it was to him. He at first thought it was a prank. He had bought a $15 million estate in Dallas. He thought his future was there. So it took him a minute emotionally to really figure out what was going on. So the fact that he's in it to win it now with LeBron, I feel like we've had a minute to settle in. It's major. Step one, went over the fans. Let's go.

All right. Stick with him with last night's game. I thought this was cool side story. Clay Thompson had a chance to honor the doctor that helped him get back on his feet following his torn Achilles in the 2020, in the 2020 season. He returned to the court last night, or actually, sorry, he returned to the court after a two and a half year hiatus in 2022, went on to help lead the Warriors to his fourth championship of the franchise. Well, he credits Dr. Richard Furkel with playing an instrumental role in getting back on the court. and last night after the game decided to present him with that fourth championship ring, which he credits the doctor helping him get back on his feet. Oh, wow.

It was a nice little thing that the ring itself has 16 carrots worth of yellow and white diamonds, so God only knows how much it's worth. But a nice little gesture to the guy that helped him get back, midweeker major. So major, but because it's a foot doctor, it was actually a toe ring. A lot of people don't know that. Shut up. No, man, I think that's so cool. Like, what a gesture.

He gets a ring the guy? That's incredible. We saw two great honors last night. We saw Anthony Davis honored by the Lakers fans, a cool montage. Everybody giving him his due. And for Clay to acknowledge his doctor in this way, that's incredible. I mean, I can't follow up a toe ring joke. Next.

All right. Travis Kelsey, this is a little bit eye-roly, but deal with it, has revealed the key to getting over his Super Bowl blues after the loss to the Eagles. And you guessed it? It's by listening to his girls. Girlfriend songs. Perfect for a breakup or any sort of downtime. Listen to Taylor Swift on this week's new hype pod. He said that he listens to music that is very telling of his mood.

And I just listen to Taylor's music. She has something for everything. He expressed his disappointment in his performance in the big game. And despite speculation about him returning or retirement, the Chiefs GM announced that the organization expects him to be back next season, midweek or major? Major, Kelsey related. I wonder, do the Chiefs want him back?

He played so ass in the Super Bowl. I think he's a great guy. I just wonder. And as far as the music thing, look, I'm a music lover. The fact that he can relate to any music is cool with me. I just, I use music in a different way. If I'm feeling down, I want music to lift my spirits, not match my spirits. I think you crying, you know, to the music you're listening to, it's so, I think it's such a lame thing.

No, I do that. I'm different than you. Play cool music. When I'm sad, when I'm sad, when I'm sad, I want to listen to sad music. When I'm happy, I want to listen to happy music. I was like, listen, I want music to save my crappy move. I think, why didn't you just sing to him? I was going to say, live performance, right?

Like a cappella, you know. You can just ball his eyes out. Man, I was Sam. You know, she lip-sinks. How do I follow up? I was Sam's good idea. Next. All right.

Well, Kelsey's teammate, Patrick Mahomes, coping with his loss in a slightly different way. And that's by trimming down a signature locks. I don't know if you saw it. Mahomes was seen earlier this week as he watches former college, Texas Tech, lose to the Houston Cougars. More loss in his life. But his barber spoke out and said that Mahomes told him

when he showed up after the Super Bowl loss, he said, just cut it off. First, he thought he was skeptical of it, but he explained that Mahomes was frustrated with his performance and he said it was time for a new look. His barber... Time for new look. Give him a nice shortcut.

So if you see it, it's like a very cropped little curl thing. No more burst fade flop over the top of that headband. This is a major spot. Major because I... I look at Mahomes as a trendsetter, and he's one of the OG broccoli heads, one of the OG alpaca boys. And he started a burst fade broccoli head sort of trend that so many kids, you see the kids at the gym, the alpaca boys.

That's alpaca. Maybe now we start seeing less of that because he trimmed it up. But I think it's a great move forward. I hate the name drop, but we had Lenny Kravitz on our show one time. And he had just cut his dreads off. Like, why'd you do it, man? He's like, just needed a new vibe about me, new energy. I feel different.

it's a different vibe and I buy into that it's a new him he has to watch that loss out of his system and move forward with the new look I like it

after looking at the photo this is a weak story because he still has the burst fade he just cut it a little shorter you know what it's significant you know when someone gets a haircut and they're like I made a big change

and you're like I don't really even notice it I don't even know it's not even long I took off three inches I don't know a couple of Sam came in he has a greaser haircut now look at it

of. He went from Afro to greaser guy. Rich, you cut your, we called them your side poofs. You're like side hair. You cut it down to a nice fade. It was a huge change. Yeah, Rich had like a Mel Gibson mixed with Larry from his three stooges haircut. And, you know, you've been a lot cooler since you got your haircut. I think it's significant.

You think this is a way different? Yeah. Oh, my God. You don't see the different on the top. Sometimes it's like pruning. Rich, you're gardener. It's like pruning a bush. You know you got to, ping it out a little bit.

Have you seen his rose bushes? Do I have time for one more? because I feel like this will resonate with you. Yes, go ahead. You love Jordans, but not as quite as active as you used to be. This is for you. Yeah. Your luck, Nike and the Jordan brand are expanding their footwear line.

Obviously, we know they're huge with basketball. They expanded into baseball and football. Well, now your old ass can enjoy Jordan brand walking shoes. This is major. Yes. In this spring, the brand is set to debut a new sneaker known as the Jordan CMFT era. The low top silhouette is intended to deliver long-lasting comfort while walking. will be heavily inspired by the Air Jordan 1 model and also use elements from the Air Jordan 6,

which is the one that he won his first championship in. The two styles, which have that like Chicago Bulls kind of look to them, set to debut, like I said in spring, with a price tag of $115, midweek or major. This is so major because it goes to show you how old everybody's getting. They're offering Jordan walking shoes now. I'll take the land Jordans. Jordan. No, they're Jordan Old guy's shoes.

Old guy's shoes. You're not in here anymore. Jordan cataract glass is coming soon. He's going to have a whole line of old people's stuff. That's wild. I think it's major and I'll tell you why. Spot pointed out a meme the other day that said it's hard to accept the fact that people that were in their 40s when Jordan won are now in their 70s.

So this is perfectly going along with this brand. If you were 40-ish when Jordan was winning, you're in your 70s now. Feel All-Jet. Thank you, Spot. Thank you, Scott. Let's go to Dan. Buy it for an update. That's a weird thought, right?

If your parents were in their 70s, if you're 40-ish, you were your parents age when Jordan was winning. I don't hate on walking shoes either. They are super light. They are a magnificent feel on your feet. The NFL making some changes to the league and some of the rules entering 2025. NFL plans on using an electronic system to measure first downs next season. This is following experimental use in the 2024 preseason. Troy Vincent League executive also said today that league may be considering changing the over

time rules, feeling that the team right now, the regular season that wins the toss, has much more of an advantage to win the game. The NFL, by the way, looks to expand replay assist to include penalties. The possible new system wouldn't review penalties that are missed, rather only review penalties that were called on the field. So for us crying about missed face masks, the NFL wouldn't be able to review those with replay assist because there was no penalty on the field calling the face mask. Okay.

Fox NFL insenter Jordan Shultz says Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. with Raiders Minority owner Tom Brady at his home in Montana, as Brady tried to convince Stafford to join him in Las Vegas. Niners GM John Lynch says they'll honor wide receiver Debo Samuel's trade request. He's likely on his way out of San Francisco. Packers have had talks about trading corner Jire Alexander, Titan Shopping, Harold Landry. Saints' GM Mickey Loomis is Derek Carr will be the team's QB1 to start next season. Danny mentioned the great ratings from TNT last night.

And Sixers forward, Paul George says he's going to stop doing his podcast for a while as he wants to focus on the rest of the season and helping the Sixers try to make the playoffs. Guys, back to you. Thank you, D.B., have a great night, my friend. You too, fellas.

Hey, hey, coming up before we get out of here, Kavino, I know you did want to talk a little bit about LeBron James and what's going on with him and Luca and cheat codes in L.A., so maybe a little NBA. LeBron James. And we'll wrap up the show next. So anything else you want to talk about? Any thoughts at Covino and Rich? We got more next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

LeBron James. A lot of people don't know this, but Rich was the third proclamer. True story. Rich is the third. Oh, no, are you the third property, brother, or the third proclamer? I forgot. Covino and Rich, live from the tirac.com studio. Welcome back to Fox Sports Radio.

You know what we call you if you have it as preset 1? What? You're a P1. That's where that's saying came from. I didn't know that. Is that true? Yeah. A P1 listener?

I always wonder where they. I had no idea. Danny, I've worked in radio. Yeah, I didn't know that. Since I've been in college a long time ago. I know that P1 means like your primary listener like a dedicated. I didn't know it. It was short for like preset one.

You know that? That's what I was told by a radio vet. This is a throwback for that little fact. to it. I mean, the more you know. We know, guys. That's awesome. Thanks, Danny. By the way, you know why they call it a mall? Like, you get your clothes at the mall?

Because instead of going to one store, you go to them all. I think that's not true. It's not true. It's not true. It's true. It's true. I swear. I saw it on social media. It has to be true. That's not true. Anyway, Kavino and Rich. Now, when I say Hooters, Hooters, Yum, Yum, what do you think of? That's a good crush. Al Bundy.

Of course. No man. That's what I figured. Well, guess what? Hooters apparently is filing for bankruptcy. Like, what failures we are as a culture. Part of a... Part of their franchise.

Beautiful women. Big... Big... You're stuttering? I don't know what I can say. Today, Gene. Hooters and wings and we're like, nah, I'm good. Those wings were barely edible, though, let's be honest.

I love Hooters. I... The sauce is like oil. It was like hot oil. A set of Hooters you got there. Hold it because tomorrow we throw it back every Thursday. We go old school when 50 hits. We reminisce every Thursday on the show.

So tomorrow, big fan of the band of Hooters. I think we're going to talk about stores that we miss. Stores that we miss. One of Rich's favorites is also going out of business. I know. You know me. I love arts and crafts. Joanne's.

No, I'm serious. Joanne's is going out of business. I do love Joanne's, actually. But no, my wife worked at Hooters when she was in college. Dude, who doesn't like good-looking women? women in hot wings. Like, it's a fail on us. Like, if you would have went back into the early 2000s, you'd be like, this place will

never go out of business. I thought that about Circus City, though, too. I feel like if the food was better, though, we would have went more often. I agree with that. Oh, man. So we'll do that tomorrow on the show. But before we go today, we just wanted to point out the fact that it's kind of cool to see LeBron found another, I guess, quarterback for his team.

I think that's how Colin put it too. It's like, Lucas is such a great quarterback and LeBron is such a great receiver in this new tandem. It's cool to see him so rejuvenated. I think he put it yesterday that, well, you know what? Just take a listen.

J.J. Reddick, it's official, has figured out the LeBron code. Is that for years and years, we've been trying to kind of figure this out. How do you move LeBron off ball? He's figured it out. And they tried it with AD. It didn't work.

the LeBron Luca code. One's a quarterback. One's a wide receiver. Luca's going to control the tempo, control the pace, control the game. He's going to play quarterback. You know, it's a great analogy by Colin. Stars. And it's very evident.

Like, you see this going on. You're like, wow, this is great. I mean, he found the right fit. Like, I'll give you the analogy. Sometimes you go on Facebook or Instagram. And you see some girl you used to date. And she was the worst. But you see her so happy with her new dude and kids and dog.

And you're like, I was just not right for her. She found her fit. You could put two stars together or two cool people or two good-looking people together. It doesn't mean it's going to work. You see that in radio and TV all the time. They put two people together like ESPN does that. Hey, you two are going to co-host a show. It stinks.

They're all terrible. Chemistry matters. In relationships and sports. and Luca and LeBron got something going on right now, unlike all the shows on the other network. And like a lot of stars, they don't make sense. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Have a good one.

Until then. Arrivederechi, baby. We'll see you in the promised land. Goodbye. Goodbye. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.
