This is an IHeart 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.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.
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. 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 ice.
Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
But how long can this alliance last?
Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me?

Last night, a blown call changed a game.
This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.
That's where Sports Slice comes in.
I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the headline.
And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves.
their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment,
and the stuff nobody gets to hear.

Hey, what's good, y'all?
You're listening to Learn the Hardway
with your favorite therapist and host, Kear Games.
This space is about black men's experiences,
having honest conversations that it's really not safe to have anywhere,
but you're having them with a licensed professional
who knows what he's doing.
How many men carry a suit are armored.
It signals to the world that you not to be played with.
And just because you have the capability that does not mean that you need to.

Feel that the new year?
Just like that, we're back.
Going to thrive in 2025.
Happy New Year.
Let's do big things.
Kavino and Rich.
Yeah, but Fox Sports Radio Monday through Friday.
five to seven on the east, two to four on the west.
This is our bonus podcast.
Thank you for listening.
You could be watching on YouTube if you are.
What's up?
Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Lots of fun to get to today.
We're going to do a mystery taste test.
Ooh, what could it be?
Plus, crox to the gym.
Could you wear them?
But Rich, you're the guy saying no one cares about week 18,
even though...
I'm sorry, what do you call it?
Week or week 18?
Week 18.
Week 18, even though.
There's teams that have something to play for,
but they're playing bullshit teams that don't care.
Like the Broncos, winning in,
they're playing the Chiefs.
Wouldn't that be a hell of a cool game
if the Chiefs were playing anybody?
Would have been, could have been.
Should have been dead if I didn't get in a message going to my head.
But you still got the Vikings Lions, man.
You got the most wins ever going at it at a week 18,
2-14 and two teams going head-to-head.
Sweet matchup.
You got coach of the year, prospects going at it, Kevin O'Connell, Dan Campbell, one seed or five seed.
Crazy to think.
Do you understand the difference between that?
I know you do.
I'm facetiously saying that, but you're talking about one seed, the division, the conference goes through you.
You have a buy.
You get to chill versus, oh shit, next week we've got to go on the road for the whole time.
But my point, this game itself is reason to care about week 18.
nothing weak about that.
This might be better than the actual Super Bowl
when all said and done.
This might be the game, man.
This is a biggie.
But Rich said aside from this game,
take that game out of him, right?
There's no other real reason to care about the matchups,
but there are reasons to watch.
Reasons to watch.
Week 18 of the NFL.
There's a lot of incentives.
A lot of players got these cool contracts.
So it's like, hey, hit this amount of yardage
or this many completions,
this many tugs.
you get a nice bonus.
I've narrowed it down to five
because I know everyone's doing
their little prop bets
like, ooh, who's going to put up
big numbers week 18?
Because fantasy football's done.
This is a week of,
oh, there is something to watch for.
And I want to start with Gino Smith.
Now, if I would do a countdown
like Sparta Harrison
or Seacrest, I probably should have went
in reverse order.
Right.
But Gino, do you know how much
this guy has to play for?
Well, let me tell you.
I know a million for something, right?
$500 in R-R.
listens.
No.
Gino Smith,
no joke.
Three different
$2 million in sentence.
Oh, wow.
So if he hits all three,
six milly going in the bank account of Gino.
So he's going to be bowling.
So here's what Gino needs,
ready?
These are all very attainable for Gino Smith.
He needs 186 yards passing.
Got it.
I mean, the guy's one of the league leaders
in passing already.
So 186.
He needs to win the game.
Now the Rams have clinched.
This game means jag dittily shit do-duty-doo for the Rams.
He has 10 wins, right?
He has 10 wins to get a $2 million incentive.
Wow.
The Seahawks are at nine wins, so they need to beat the rim.
So he needs a win, 186 yards.
That would be 4 mil.
This one is tricky because I'm not, you know,
I'm not Neil deGrasse Tyson.
I'm not a scientist.
I'm not an astrophysicist or a mathematician.
Right now, his current passer rating completion percentage is 69.76.
69.
He needs a season of a past completion percentage of 70.
No way.
So, Gino, if you see in the fourth quarter,
Gino just doing like, you know, 15 shovel passes in a row,
you know why.
Because I don't know how you would even start to do the math for that,
but let's say Gino goes 24 for 26,
like something sick, he could hit that last one.
Well, you're a bet, man, does he meet all of his incentives here?
Does he get all three?
Is he three for three here?
I mean, I feel like the fun thing to do.
I don't know if your gambling site will allow it.
Draft King Sportsbook Code, see our show.
I might parlay a lot of these that I'm about to tell you.
Because if they all hit big money.
Again, these are not only their personal incentives,
but incentives for you to watch and to root for them.
I want to see Gino hit these.
And you have to imagine he's going to be bawling out.
And if you're a gambling man, I'd put my money on Gino Smith, dude, for sure.
The Rams defense might want to rest a little
because they're going to be playing week one.
So I think this favors Gino.
I think Gino's going to walk away a happy man.
Okay.
Number two,
which is sometimes better than the number one.
Mike Evans is playing for $3 million.
Now, Mike Evans,
the contract says you get a $3 million bonus.
You accelerate your contract,
$3 million more.
If you hit 70 receptions for over a thousand yards.
Now they're conjoined.
Like this is not like one of the other.
it's 70 for 1,000.
Right now, Mike Evans has 65 catches for 915.
So Mike Evans needs five catches for 85 yards.
Oh, that's a good one.
You don't think Baker could get this guy the ball five times for 85?
And you know they know, that's major money.
Three million dollars, even for them is a lot of money.
Five catches.
They need five catches.
You know he's going to Baker Mayfield.
I'm like, yeah, come on.
We know, they know.
Yeah, they know.
remember a couple years ago, wasn't it when
Gronk and Brady were playing together for
the Patriots? Like they were very
well aware of Gronk's incentive. And Brady
just kept giving them shitty little dump passes.
So they know this. Now,
number three, let's flip sides.
Let's go defense. Trickyer
to get because you can't, unless you're
Brett Farve and Michael Strahan back
in the day, you don't really give away
sacks in the NFL, but the legend
Von Miller. By the way, did you get those glasses from the
Von Miller collection? I did.
like them.
Von Miller.
Limited edition.
Always wears cool glasses at events.
Yeah.
But one sack.
He needs one sack of the quarterback.
And he gets one point five million dollars.
Damn.
So you don't think that guy is going to try to get to QB?
Hell yeah.
Come on.
Let's go von Miller.
One sack.
That's it?
One sack.
One sack gets this guy a million a half.
Again, reason to watch.
You said it was weak.
I think this is great.
I mean, this is why a guy like you who likes Red Zone.
Yeah.
You'll be bouncing.
and around hoping these guys get these catches.
I can't wait. I'll be rooting for Von Miller.
Let me hit you up with a Bronco who's going to be trying to fight for the playoffs.
They're playing, like I said, the chiefs who are sitting most players, Cortland Sutton.
Isn't that a guy on Yellowstone?
Oh, the Sutton's.
Just kidding.
Don't mess with the Sutton's.
Cortland Sutton needs 82 yards for a $500,000 bonus.
So 82 yards, get him the ball bow nicks.
two yards for Cortin Sutton.
Easy, done.
Guy gets half a millie.
Hey, by the way, if he gets his 82 yards,
does he give a little, like, bonus to the QB?
I think, I think you have to.
Right?
I think you have to.
Like a little tip.
You know what I mean?
Like, just a little thanks.
Now, let me hit you up with one more.
Joe Mixen,
107 yards,
and he gets $250,000.
So what do you think?
Joe Mixing?
Yeah, no, 107 yards.
much?
250.
Yeah.
250K.
Oh, man, this is great.
By the way, I feel like there should be more incentives in life, like in your relationship,
at your workplace.
You'll see people putting a lot more effort into their job and into their life if we had
more incentive.
I think the life should be more incentive-based, right?
And we're going to see the results this weekend.
I love that.
You're going to see these dudes playing hard for that extra cash.
You know what?
I'll post these on our Instagram.
So in case you forget.
At Covino, Mike Evans, Von Miller, Cortland Sutton, Joe Mix.
And there's many more.
Like I know, like to accelerate his contract, a few more mill, I think even Kyler Murray,
if he has like 50 yards rushing.
So they go on and on.
So if you really want to play along with these props.
Truthfully, like, you know, Kyler Murray is making $40 million money anyway.
But still, reason to watch.
Because the question was, is it week 18 or week 18?
When you factor in the Vikings Lions and all these incentives,
there's fun reasons to watch.
No digity.
It's not that week.
Now,
the mystery taste test of the day.
Big news for the Kelsey Brothers this week.
Well,
they announced their first guest on the New Heights podcast, by the way,
Caitlin Clark,
so that's big news.
I believe that drops today, right, Spot?
That's a huge first guest.
It's not as fun as this, though.
But not as cool as this.
Caitlin Clark really a good interview.
Let's be honest.
You really want to hear from her?
I'd rather talk to Jack Clark.
I'd rather talk to you about Kelsey Mix.
Yeah.
Which, by the way, the cereal that we all knew was coming out.
My mother-in-law saw it, I guess, at the supermarket,
brought it over here around the holidays.
The Kelsey Mix.
Look at these two guys.
This just epitomizes how oversaturated these dudes are.
And I'm not hating.
I'm just stating, I wish them all the success in the world.
But they mix three cereals together and you got a deal with General Mills.
Get out of my face with that.
Travi just voted number one.
Into the Pro Bowl.
Yeah.
Swifty effect.
I mean, he's a great player,
but I mean,
you know,
number one.
Yeah,
but they had a high,
fat guy moment,
and they get a cereal deal.
Oh yeah,
they even have a cartoon
on the back of the box.
Oh,
look at this.
Cartooned.
Again,
I'm not,
I'm not complaining.
I'm just explaining.
So I listen,
I'm all about taste testing.
These are three cereals
that are fantastic.
Reese's puffs.
Other way,
is that cereal come with jelly?
Because you're so jelly.
You sound a little jelly.
This sounds like something my fat friend
would have done in college.
It sounds like some guy at a food truck.
It's like, go put some mozzarella sticks on my sandwich.
It's like a, you know what it is?
It's like growing up in the Covino House
when there's just a little bit of Reese's left,
a little bit of cinnamon, and you just combine them all.
It's really it.
All right.
So, Cui agree individually.
Cinnamon toast crunch is a clear top three cereal for everyone.
Yeah, I mean.
Lucky charms?
None of this is the healthiest choice.
Lucky charms, you can eat those marshmallows all day.
And Reese's Puffs is my least favorite of the three,
but that's still a very popular cereal.
Yeah, but do the peanut buttery puffs go with all that?
I don't know.
We're about to find out.
I never had them.
I'm excited.
I mean, this is a lot of whole milk.
Yeah.
Whole milk?
What do you drink?
Who buys whole milk?
You don't get like 2%?
Whole milk's better for you.
Skim milk?
What are you?
Who doesn't drink?
Why don't you put coffee creamer in my bowl?
But who doesn't drink whole?
Not me.
Barf.
I love when you one handedly hold the bowl cereal over my laptop.
Yeah, stop.
I'm lactose intolerant.
This guy's giving me whole milk like we're four years old.
You would really not have whole milk and cereal.
Give me some 2%, some skin milk.
You mean water?
Schoolboy?
What do you drink out of little red cartons?
That's, I mean,
Gorf.
Geez, I thought it was standard.
Before all day now.
Three cereals that we all individually love together.
Let's see what we got here.
Ooh.
Let's see.
The peanut butter doesn't go.
That was my fear.
Yeah.
I taste too much peanut butter.
I disagree.
I don't know if it doesn't go.
You know what I taste?
Immediately got it.
I taste the cinemite
Tosk crunch with the peanut butter.
That's a great combo.
Yeah?
I haven't tasted any
marshmallow-y goodness yet.
Well, you know what?
Oh,
there's probably a lot of people right now
that got high with the Kelsey's in college.
They're like, yeah, we know this already.
This is actually a pretty decent combo
except for
if you don't like the overwhelming peanut butter.
What do you think?
What would you give it?
All right, out of what,
what are we rating this out of?
What a star shirt style?
Four stars?
Three and a half stars.
I have to preface this by saying I was raised on cereal,
despite my mom's dismay.
Disgust when I say that.
My mom gets so angry when I say,
oh, yeah, it was cereal growing up.
Well, I guess I wasn't a good mother.
I cooked for you every night.
You never ate cereal.
I'm here to tell you,
Fox Sports Radio Nation overpromised Nation,
I'm a serial killer.
I'm the dexter of cereal.
And it's pretty good.
Yeah.
I'm not hating at all on this.
I gave it three and three quarter stars.
My first taste.
A little mix of a lot of things I like.
My first taste was a little too peanut buttery.
But then, you know, we're doing a video podcast.
I don't want to keep eating the whole time.
But if I keep eating, some people hate the,
they get the ick when people are crunchy and eating.
You're eating on a podcast.
You're eating on a video.
Sorry, softy pants.
We were doing a taste test.
Yeah, you know, fucking relax.
My point is individually all great.
After a few bites, my first thought was,
oh, a little too peanut buttery.
But it's really good, actually.
I hate to say it.
It's really good.
Me too.
I so badly wanted to hate that.
I really did.
You wanted to hate it.
I can't hate it.
I actually like it.
Spani.
Are you like Mikey?
Do you like it?
I think it's a great combo.
Spot talks.
I'll eat.
Spot, tell me a story.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
Bore me, Spike.
You're not even on camera.
It's great.
I think it's a great combo of flavors.
And I think you get the,
obviously, the basic cereal.
So you like, that's a filler.
Spott, how was your holidays?
It was fantastic.
You get the cinnamony,
deliciousness.
of, you know, the cinnamon toast crunch.
Then you get the sweetness marshmallow punch
of the Lucky Charms.
Just got a marshmallow.
And then you get a little bit of peanut butter.
And I think peanut butter is a great compliment
to cinnamon and the base in the cereal.
So I think it's a good, it's a homogenous cacophony
of deliciousness.
Yeah.
Did you guys finish?
He said it.
We're done.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey.
You know what?
What he said.
as long as I needed to.
No, for real, though.
It really is good.
I wanted to hate it.
Congrats on me.
New season of their podcast and their first guest, Caitlin Clark and, of course, the cereal.
Who makes us again?
General Mills.
General Mills,
I doubt they would have put this together if it tastes like ass.
So you know what?
There are three probably top cereals.
Congratulations.
Kelsey's are the best.
Take their best cereals.
Slap some Kelsey's on it.
And I guarantee the shit's selling off the shelves, believe it or not.
It's not like they reinvented the cereal.
You know how many people probably do what my mother-in-law did?
My mother-in-law saw this.
She's like, oh, you know, my son-in-law loves football.
He'll probably get a kick out of this and brought this over the house.
For novelty to try it.
But you don't think how many people have novelty tried this?
Yeah.
You know what, though?
I bet you the Kelsey brothers put the milk in the bowl first before the cereal.
Yeah, how many stoners are out there?
They're like, I've been doing it for years.
No, you should answer that, Count Choggle.
I'm sorry.
Chalabin butter.
I got an idea.
You take Count Chaggill, you mix it with the booberry, and you get some
Frankenberry in there.
You mix it up.
Think of all the concoctions.
It comes out in October.
Think of all the concoctions you had after a night of drinking or boozing or whatever you're doing.
All the sandwiches, you know, the everything bagel was created by drunk guys in New York that went to the bagel shop.
They owned after hours and just started dipping the dough in all the different leftover fixings.
You know how the trail mix was invented, right?
Oh, Dad just picked up the car seat and shook it.
Yeah, dad took a car seat up and shook it out of crumbs and peanuts.
Oh, good, Eminem.
So anyway, guys.
Thank you for sitting through that.
It was actually pretty good.
And now recommend.
When you eat bowls of this by the box, right?
Because you're going to eat that whole box.
I know it.
If you eat cereal, it's great.
And especially after the holidays,
probably feeling a little puffy right now.
You're going to be soft.
I'm sorry to your girlfriend in advance.
Like Reese's puffs?
Whole milk.
It's going to be a rough night at the Kavino house.
I know.
And I've been eating nothing but cheese and pizza back in Jersey
during the holidays, right?
Steve is gaseous, isn't it?
Exactly.
Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, dude?
Huge news.
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.
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.
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get.
your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel
and friends. 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
Acapella 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 ice.
Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged.
It's the enhanced games.
Some call it grotesque.
Others say it's unleashing human potential.
Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes
for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
But now is the time of the year
where everybody has their resolution
and they get back to the gym.
So the gym's going to be a nightmare for the next few weeks.
I saw that.
Yeah.
11% of gym memberships are on the first of the year.
So one out of 10 people sign up on the first of the year
and they said of those people,
80% plus quit by mid-February.
Okay.
Now, you're going to see a lot of broccoli heads at the gym.
That's just the thing.
It's gaggles of high school kids were there and they travel in packs.
You're just trying to get on the peck deck.
You're just trying to get on the bench.
You think if you were a teenage kid?
And they're in packs of five wearing that.
Do you think you're, you would have let you,
do you think you could have had your hair look like that if you were a teenager?
Hell no.
My hair?
I don't have that type of texture.
And you know what?
A lot of these kids are getting perms, to be honest.
I saw Tom Brady posted a beautiful family photo on the years.
And his two boys, both are a leaning broccoli head.
Oh, look, man.
The alpaca boys are coming.
And that's their official uniform at the gym.
When you're just trying to get into now,
they're looking at you.
What's up, bro?
Bro.
They're brisling with their broccoli head haircuts.
They got their tank tops on,
their pajama pants.
What do they got on their feet right there?
See that?
What's the official uniform of the alpaca boy?
The broccoli heads?
Crocks.
There they are.
They are.
All right.
So they're wearing crox.
Bro, want to hit chest at 5 o'clock today?
Go to the gym at 5, a bunch of broccoliettes.
Why are they all on the same bench?
Because that's just how it is.
I don't get a pajama pants and crocs.
Right.
It's disgusting.
So now that you know the uniform,
with their skinny arms.
I pose this question.
There's a guy I follow.
I'm a fight fan, right?
There's a guy named Two-Toned the Superstar.
And he says,
oh, it's getting musty in here.
And I say that respectfully.
And he's always breaking down.
like, Canello, why you disinbenevedes?
Like the energy.
You know, you're ducking.
And I say that respectfully.
I don't know how his video was taken down, but we got the audio of his recent complaint.
He was taking on the uniform of a broccoli boy at the gym.
He wore crocs to the gym at Planet Fitness.
And here's what happened.
Take a listen.
You can't wear crocs on the gym floor in Planet Fitness.
The same planet fitness that serves delicious hungry Howie's pizza after workout.
That's right.
The same planet fitness that doesn't allow you to slam weights.
The same planet fitness where all the equipment is low-key mid.
Y'all got to get it together.
This is where y'all draw the line at.
Y'all draw the line on crooks.
My crox was in sports mode.
Sport mode.
That's musty.
that energy.
Sports mode is when you have the little
the flap at the back of your heel, right?
That's sports mode.
The weak-ass buckle in the back of your weak-ass rubber clog.
So horrible.
So the story goes, that two-toned superstar goes to Planet Fitness
because he's just trying to keep his resolution going.
He's wearing the official uniform of the broccoli head alpaca boy.
And people are Planet Fitness tell him to go.
He can't wear him.
They don't allow it on the floor.
Out!
So he's like, this is the line?
You heard the guy.
And he was in sports mode.
So the question is, Fox Sports Radio Nation, overpromised Nation,
can you, should you know, hell no, can you wear crocs to the gym?
I don't think you can wear crocs anywhere.
I think that the weakest shooter ever was.
But can you wear them to the gym when you're lifting?
Rich, you already said 100%.
100% disagree with you.
That's because Rich doesn't lift.
It's a, it's a bad look.
Okay, there Tony Atlas.
I mean, who knew that we had Dwayne the Rock Johnson as our producer?
Hey, Spott does a lot of squat and he does actual lifting to the point where he sweats.
No.
Rich does a Pee-Herman workout.
Again, I do real workouts.
Again.
Oh, I push weight, I sweat, I lift, I squat.
Coo-wee-Clear legs.
You've admitted that on this show that you never even do anything lower body because you don't want to hurt your little cabs.
Oh, boom!
My cabsies.
Wow.
You can't insult by a guy that does all that?
I still look better than him?
Oh, dude.
So, it's a flex-off.
Wow.
I don't want to hug people if you take your shirt off.
Hey guys, fight nice.
It's a new year.
So my point is you missed.
Show you my thighs.
I've never seen a guy so into himself like this guy over here.
Look in the mirror, buddy.
The question.
The question is simple.
Who served awkward burgers?
The question is simple.
I didn't even finish my cereal yet.
Can you wear crocs to the gym?
It's not a question of is it the greatest functional shoe.
That wasn't your question.
Your question was, should you be able to wear crocs?
And the answer is, yes, because unless you're doing cardio or doing a heavy regimented workout,
there's people I see come after work and they're like, oh, shit, I forgot my pants.
We're wearing jeans to the gym.
No, I think you could easily injure yourself and gyms don't want to be liable.
I don't think it's the right proper shoe for a gym.
And if I was a gym owner, I'd be like, take that ridiculous thing off.
You tell me, you can't.
Like, would you allow a flip flop?
No, because it could go flying off.
You're on a treadmill.
You're rolling ankle.
Sport mode, bro.
He was in sport mode.
You're telling me this guy can't get on.
There's nothing sporty about that ridiculous shit.
This guy can't get on a machine and do back or peck deck or curls.
And with crocs on?
Are you kidding me?
Of course he could.
A live feed of Rich's or a video of Rich's workout.
He's wearing bunny boy crocs at the gym.
Oh.
I mean, to be fair, it is what you do at the gym.
Little peck deck mixed in there.
So should you be able to wear crocs at the gym?
The broccoli heads do it.
Maybe certain places are putting the smackdown moving forward because of injury and liability reasons.
Because I don't think it's the proper shoe.
You say sports mode.
Honestly, dude, I don't think it's the proper shoe for heavy lifting, like Spots said.
Right.
They always suggest flat shoes.
They always say wear flat shoes.
Flat surfaces.
And if you're hitting a treadmill on those things, you're just risking injury.
Not to mention aesthetically, look like a clown.
Aesthetics doesn't matter.
I'm talking.
Aesthetics doesn't matter.
You're doing an idiot.
But I don't think you should be able to wear.
The question is, are you doing the most intense workout, like spot this guy who's the
greatest guy on planet earth?
But even if you're doing any sort of like...
You should go to Planet Fitness because you're the greatest guy on the planet.
You need stability.
There he is.
Planet Fitness.
We found him.
The greatest guy on the planet.
Like, you can't even wear like a running shoe.
I was more intrigued when he said, I looked up hungry Howie's pizza.
It's a real place.
Right?
You need a flat shoe to have stability to drive through the floor and, like,
stabilize yourself for any sort of exercise you're doing.
Oh, I can't wait for your competition.
But even squats.
What competition?
You're not doing one.
Squats.
Any sort of lower body exercise squats.
Other squats, barbell squats.
Guys,
Smith machine squats.
Guys,
the most ripped video producer and all of radio and television
podcasting.
You know,
honestly?
Hold on.
Because it's not a common thing.
You know what,
though?
Spot.
Seriously.
Spots the only guy of the three of us that does see a personal trainer.
Yes.
Shredded and teaches and passes on.
knowledge to you. Would he ever allow or recommend you wearing crocs to the gym?
If anything, he made me buy a special pair of shoes. Like, I was wearing Chuck Taylor's,
which is a very common lifting shoe. You fucking rock and ball.
Chuck's are a cheap alternative to a lifting shoe. And then I bought a specific lifting shoe
that's flat, has good grip underneath. You can do like a lot of like functional exercises.
Oh, God, just shut up so I could eat more cereal.
I just recently bought a squat shoe that actually has a lifted heel in it.
So you don't have to put all your feet on wedges and you can properly align for squat depth.
Or those no-bowl cross-fit shoes.
It's proper shoes.
Oh, yeah, tell me more.
No, seriously.
And again, it looks ridiculous.
I looked up officially, and I don't know the source of this, but I looked up officially
about wearing crocs while you work out.
And it says, lifting in crox is a good or bad.
And the official answer is, lifting in crocs is not ideal.
deal if you plan to lift heavy, or see, Rich doesn't care,
weight up, lift heavy weights because they lack stability,
midfoot and ankle support and protection and even in sports mode.
However, you could work out in Crocs and perform certain exercises at a very casual level,
like Rich doing his little peck tech.
Bro, so fine, you know what, wear your crocs to the gym.
I'm not even listening to you.
I'm lifting this spoon of Kelsey mixed in my mouth.
Well, listen.
Honestly, that's the heaviest thing you've probably lifted in your life.
That's the beauty of this show.
We ran out of time talking about it.
Fox Sports Radio, so we finish it here.
You make the call.
Let us know what you think.
Your response at Covino Enrich, at Fox Sports Radio, hashtag Overpromised.

We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it out.

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.
