Speaker 1: football speaking of football, a shocking football stat Not gonna
Speaker 1: want to miss that. Plus, at this stage of the game,
Speaker 1: do you care about how much weight you're lifted? You
Speaker 1: care about that? Should you care about that? There's a
Speaker 1: Tom Brady story I got, I got major thoughts on
Speaker 1: this and we're gonna throw it back with you your
Speaker 1: favorite check and Charles Barkley, Yes, yes, yes, but you
Speaker 1: know I thought this was interesting. Of all the people
Speaker 1: that loved or hated the idea of Lebron playing with Bronni.
Speaker 1: There were some people that are nipp twoso the stupid ship,
Speaker 1: and other people are like beautiful a father gets to
Speaker 1: play with his son. We're so polarizing. One question that
Speaker 1: never came up in all that bullshit, like from a
Speaker 1: month ago, what is he gonna call him on the court? Papa, Daddy, dad, poppy?
Speaker 1: So they talked about it on the shop, take a look,
Speaker 1: but what's your working relationship? Is he gonna call you
Speaker 1: dad at practice in the locker room.
Speaker 2: We already laid that No, we already laid No, he can't.
Speaker 2: We already laid that down. I cannot call me Dad
Speaker 2: in the workplace all once we once we leave out
Speaker 2: of the private facility and the gates closed, I could
Speaker 2: be dead again in the car if.
Speaker 1: We ride together at home, I could be Dad.
Speaker 2: No, he gotta call me like two three or bron
Speaker 2: okay or you know, go if he wants To's up
Speaker 2: to him. I mean, it's up to him. But it's
Speaker 2: easy for me. It's easy to because it's easy for
Speaker 2: me because I've been calling Bronni for so long. It's
Speaker 2: not like I've been called a son a son like,
Speaker 2: it's so easy for me, it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Hold on, there is some hypocrisy there, and before we
Speaker 1: start making fun of Lebron James, let me say this respectfully.
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome what's happening between them. That's a
Speaker 1: dream come true. So there's no hate here. It's incredible
Speaker 1: and it's great to see. But isn't Lebron James the
Speaker 1: first guy to be saying all the time it's a
Speaker 1: it's a dream come true to play with my son Bronni,
Speaker 1: my son Bronni, my son Bronni, my son Bronnie. He
Speaker 1: keeps calling him my son Bronnie, but he's mad about
Speaker 1: being called dad on the court. I'm not saying I
Speaker 1: don't understand, because I do. He does. He doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be the old guy or be deemed as the
Speaker 1: old guy out there. But you know he is quick
Speaker 1: to call him his son, right, so he can't have both.
Speaker 1: I don't think he has to be calling him Bronni.
Speaker 1: Then that's it. I think the funny part of that
Speaker 1: cliff that has gone onto the radar. He's like, unless
Speaker 1: you're driving home, they're gonna car pool together. How adorable.
Speaker 1: And then then they go home for dinner together and
Speaker 1: mom's making a pork chops. So there are other names
Speaker 1: we thought of that he could call Lebron instead of Dad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he can't call him dad or pop pop whatever
Speaker 1: he calls him, how about he call him the Great Floppy?
Speaker 1: All right, we'll start with that, the Great Floppy because,
Speaker 1: as you know, Lebron James known for this. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean old haters love to point out the fact
Speaker 1: that you know, he loves to flop. Oh, he's a flopper.
Speaker 1: I like him extra floppy. Hey Dad, Hey, I told
Speaker 1: you you can't call me that. I mean the Great Floppy.
Speaker 1: There you go, now, wy Floppy? Well, I mean definitely work.
Speaker 1: How embarrassing and floppy is. Imagine he's like Daddy passed
Speaker 1: through the ball, dude, like floppy Floppy. So the Great
Speaker 1: Floppy we got that one. Oh, how about an old
Speaker 1: gray beard. That's the other one. Old gray Beard sounds good.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how he doesn't want to be dad,
Speaker 1: but it looks like he could be everybody's dad with
Speaker 1: the gray beard. And as Emmett Smith said for years,
Speaker 1: no play for mister gray. The beard is weird. And
Speaker 1: when you're on the court. Basketball is a young man's game.
Speaker 1: I don't think you advertise this wisdom. And that's why
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be called dad. So why does
Speaker 1: he have the gray Beard? Be honest with you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's one thing and probably one thing I have in
Speaker 1: common with Lebron James. It's about throw that picture back up.
Speaker 1: That is exactly where Mike Gray comes in. Like that chin,
Speaker 1: like that jaw line over there. I once in a
Speaker 1: while do the little just for men. Lebron James should
Speaker 1: be doing that. He's trying to play a young man's game.
Speaker 1: It's a good name. He looks like a pirate there,
Speaker 1: oh gray Beard. So if he can't call him dad,
Speaker 1: all gray Beard works, how about this? If he can't
Speaker 1: call him dad on the court, how about busted toes?
Speaker 1: How about bat? Busted his toes?
Speaker 2: Yo?
Speaker 1: Bat? Because I don't know if you knew this about
Speaker 1: Lebron's feet, but his tootsies are mango. So if he
Speaker 1: doesn't want dad b a t busted ass tosal yo,
Speaker 1: that might work. I don't know. Do you know the
Speaker 1: trash talking that could take place out there, like they're losing,
Speaker 1: like yo, you and your bitch Dad, Like there's gonna
Speaker 1: be there's gonna be people that are trying that they
Speaker 1: will try to play the emotions. Oh yeah, yeah sure,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how about this one. You always say this
Speaker 1: is the worst thing you could tell a guy. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: your hairline. Now we say this respectfully. But if you
Speaker 1: can't call him dad, I'm sure he'll turn around if
Speaker 1: he hears that one, right, Get that. If Bronnie's open
Speaker 1: and he's not responding to dad hairline, I'm open that
Speaker 1: he might get some attention there. And there is no
Speaker 1: worse than sult in the world than hairline, because even
Speaker 1: if you have a strong hairline, you're gonna be uh
Speaker 1: wondering me. Really, I don't know, And I know right
Speaker 1: that's the comeback player of the year right there, his hairline.
Speaker 1: Look at it, here's a progression. If they ever fight
Speaker 1: amongst each other on the team. You ever think Lebron's
Speaker 1: gonna be like yo, I bang your mom to Bronnie
Speaker 1: Like maybe maybe, But look, it's also a testament to
Speaker 1: how long he's been there, how long he's done it right.
Speaker 1: So again credit to Lebron James. We're just having fun
Speaker 1: with this story because he's the one who said you
Speaker 1: can't call me dad. What are we gonna call him? Think?
Speaker 1: And Lebron did say, well, then call me goat. So
Speaker 1: in that case, maybe Bronnie calls him MJ. There you go,
Speaker 1: oh the goat? Hey, MJ, I'm open. Oh you said
Speaker 1: you were a goat. You said you were to go
Speaker 1: so Michael Jordan. Now those are just some things Bronnie
Speaker 1: could call Lebron. We say that respectfully, and if you
Speaker 1: want to add to the list, if you got anything else,
Speaker 1: hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: Hashtag Covino's the Man, hashtag Lebron James, Lebron James. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think anyone's thinking about basketball
Speaker 1: right now because it's fun ball season. Hairline, James, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: would you say? And Tom Brady was in the news
Speaker 1: and by the way, something we talked about earlier on Fox.
Speaker 1: How interesting the dilemma they might have as far as
Speaker 1: what corporate Tom Brady could do compared to announcer Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: I could get dicey. But there was another Tom Brady
Speaker 1: story and it had to do with him bench pressing.
Speaker 1: And I feel like this is something you and your
Speaker 1: jersey wheedle friends bragged about in the nineties without a doubt.
Speaker 1: But again, you're talking thirty years ago or whatever, right
Speaker 1: when we were taking creatine and caring about those things,
Speaker 1: trying to get her weight up, basically trying to get
Speaker 1: your weight up as a kid. As you get older,
Speaker 1: do you really want to push your limits? Now, before
Speaker 1: we talk about what Tom Brady did, let's throw it
Speaker 1: back to when Shack and Chuck had a lift off.
Speaker 1: You remember this, I think this is hilarious. Shaq and
Speaker 1: Chuck had a lift off on TNT to promote some
Speaker 1: rock Mark Wahlmberg movie or whatever, right, and the whole
Speaker 1: premise was that Charles Barkley had fake weights and Shaquille
Speaker 1: O'Neil was trying to outlift Charles Barkley was a lift off.
Speaker 1: The fact that check is dumbfounded as to how is
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley beating me? So they start at one thirty five,
Speaker 1: They get it up easy, then they go to two
Speaker 1: twenty five, They get it up easy, three point fifteen.
Speaker 1: Shack is struggling a little bit, gets it up. Barkley
Speaker 1: throws it up easy, and then they're at four oh five.
Speaker 1: And here's how to clip pans out? We try four
Speaker 1: oh five the great lift off. Oh shit, that's fourth
Speaker 1: plates on each side. Shack could do it. This is
Speaker 1: up to Charles Barkley to win it. We got this, Charles.
Speaker 1: He's struggling Hereawn, Charles, that's ship time. You need help.
Speaker 1: Lock it out, Lock it out, lock out. Yes, is
Speaker 1: it a clean bench? I think we have a winner.
Speaker 2: Jermy Wndall to shave my head, shut up, shacks Man Barkley.
Speaker 1: Chiquillo is a soul loser. Thank you very much. Shot
Speaker 1: your party gets take. Yeah, it was a prank and
Speaker 1: it was great. Somehow I went viral again and it
Speaker 1: got us thinking about it. And then like Rich just said,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady also in the news this week, Benching, what
Speaker 1: two forty five? I think? Hold on, I'll find the
Speaker 1: exact story. It's Tom Brady. Yeah, two forty five. How
Speaker 1: much do you bench bro? How much do you bench bro?
Speaker 1: And that's an awkward question nowadays because I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what you called me out as a guido from New Jersey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did take pride in that at one point in
Speaker 1: my life. Now, at this stage of the game, I
Speaker 1: know I look young and spry, but let's just say
Speaker 1: I'm in my forties. I don't give a diddley squat
Speaker 1: about how much I'm putting up. I just want to maintain.
Speaker 1: I want to get my workout in, but I also
Speaker 1: don't want to hurt myself. Who's time for that now,
Speaker 1: No thanks, it's just not a priority. Short hair, don't care.
Speaker 1: You could argue that, sweet hair, don't check. On the
Speaker 1: extreme opposite, I lift so light now because I see
Speaker 1: every dumb friend I have that's in their forties, you
Speaker 1: hit forty one little acre pain that could be part mint.
Speaker 1: I have a buddy, the tourist Peck. I have another friend,
Speaker 1: the tour's bicep our video producer spot Hey Diata gets
Speaker 1: shoulder surgery. I'm on the business of hurting myself post forty.
Speaker 1: So when I tell you I'm using like twenty pounds dumbbells,
Speaker 1: I warm up with fifteens. For you to use that
Speaker 1: little weight rack with all the pink and orange dumbbells
Speaker 1: is a little odd to me. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: feel good, but I also think caring about the weight
Speaker 1: that you're putting up at this stage is also a
Speaker 1: little odd. Young man's game, unless, of course, you're a
Speaker 1: young guy, right and you're trying to get your weight
Speaker 1: up or b you know you're a professional bodybuilder, current athlete,
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. If you're just a regular dude
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to maintain, you're trying to keep
Speaker 1: some weight off, probably I just don't see how that
Speaker 1: fits into your life if you have other things going on.
Speaker 1: But there's guys like Spot who have made fitness a
Speaker 1: priority that think where weak as could be by not
Speaker 1: caring who has got hurt?
Speaker 3: So we yeah, but I'm still strong and I've strengthened
Speaker 3: all the muscles around it. It's like I was hurting
Speaker 3: when I first started working out, so it came from
Speaker 3: something else. But it might just be like structure, It
Speaker 3: could be wear and tear of just.
Speaker 1: Like like it's the guy that's making fun of us
Speaker 1: for not you especially not breaking a sweater. How is
Speaker 1: that possible?
Speaker 3: You don't work, You've You've told me you've never done
Speaker 3: a leg day, which blows my mind.
Speaker 1: D have nice legs already? Do you also? Spot? You
Speaker 1: know you're you're sort of a gym rat. Now do
Speaker 1: you know like your max weight on? Like Chris, I
Speaker 1: mean I slowly build on it. I'd have to look
Speaker 1: at the specific machines. But yeah, like I'm I'm I
Speaker 1: know where I've been. I had to back off once
Speaker 1: I had my surgery and work back up again. But like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm probably benching like one fifty five right now, which
Speaker 1: is not a lot, but I had to work back
Speaker 1: up to that. Right I'm deadlifting like two seventy five
Speaker 1: on the business at all. It's you know, I know
Speaker 1: it sounds odd, right because Rich and I grew up
Speaker 1: playing sports and we still go to the gym on
Speaker 1: the regular. We should be in better shape probably for
Speaker 1: as often as we go be, but we're going to
Speaker 1: maintain because I gotta say, I'm sort of past the
Speaker 1: stage of knowing my max weight at anything that used
Speaker 1: to be important to me back then. You know what
Speaker 1: It's like, It's like someone's saying, dude, what's your body count?
Speaker 1: And there was a stage in my life where you
Speaker 1: knew that number? But now do you know? And nor
Speaker 1: do you care? Right? Like embarrassing? Yeah, it's like I
Speaker 1: don't know, dude, what you don't know? You're counting how
Speaker 1: many girls you've dated? I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel the same way about benching. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to care about that, but I really don't anymore.
Speaker 1: And that may be I rally to you, but that's
Speaker 1: really the stage I think most guys are. They just
Speaker 1: want to stay in shape, They just want to throw
Speaker 1: some weight out, but as far as they're max dight,
Speaker 1: I don't max out. I don't know. I take pride
Speaker 1: in lifting light and still feeling good and looking good
Speaker 1: like a T shirt. Like I'm telling you you do,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need more than if I'm doing
Speaker 1: shoulder presses or if I'm doing like even a machine
Speaker 1: for bench press one twenty. I don't need to be
Speaker 1: lifted hundreds of pounds.
Speaker 2: Is.
Speaker 1: I think I'm add I really do.
Speaker 3: Right now, you're relying heavily on genetics, and eventually that's
Speaker 3: going to start working against you, because once your body
Speaker 3: starts slowing down, if you're not setting a good foundation,
Speaker 3: you need to, you know, but depend you don't need to.
Speaker 3: You don't need to max out. Like I don't know
Speaker 3: what my max is. I'm sure I could do more
Speaker 3: than I do this, but I'm doing it for reps.
Speaker 3: I'm doing it to build strings.
Speaker 1: But as Tom Brady or or any of these guys
Speaker 1: that are in good check. Are they doing any Is
Speaker 1: any athlete like that doing max weight?
Speaker 3: No, there's a difference between being a bodybuilder and going
Speaker 3: crazy and maintaining. And as you get older, it's more
Speaker 3: important to have these muscles trained and toned. So it's
Speaker 3: also more important not getting hurt. And I said, you
Speaker 3: only get hurt if you don't know what you're doing. No,
Speaker 3: not true, Not true at all. The people I'm thinking about,
Speaker 3: you're such an arrogant prick. You think you know more
Speaker 3: than people I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, guys that played college football that are ripped,
Speaker 1: big guys that are like forty ish, and they don't
Speaker 1: they not getting hurt is a priority, not only for
Speaker 1: dudes in their forties, but dudes getting ready for the
Speaker 1: actual football. See you saw preseason, I saw playing Patty.
Speaker 1: You want to see the stet. This is a stat
Speaker 1: about fans. You said I was going to drop a
Speaker 1: good one. As the football season approaches. Thirty seven percent
Speaker 1: of men say they gained significant weight from September to January,
Speaker 1: and fifty three percent of those guys that say they
Speaker 1: gained weight more than ten pounds so you do have
Speaker 1: to make the gym a part of your fall life,
Speaker 1: because just because you got a hoodie, don't put yourself
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball because then spring hits and you're
Speaker 1: a piece of trash. Well you know that's a fun
Speaker 1: stat Let me sit on that for a minute, because
Speaker 1: that's a lot of way, a significant ten pounds from
Speaker 1: September to January and again because the sweatshirt weather and
Speaker 1: your rocking and year old school started, you feel more
Speaker 1: comfortable with a hoodie on and the gym. Get hide
Speaker 1: it a little bit. We're not saying go to the gym,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying do you care about your max weight?
Speaker 1: But maybe Tom Brady brings you back and plants that
Speaker 1: seed of saying if he's putting two forty five up,
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder where around att Like, are you
Speaker 1: even interested right now? Can you know what you could
Speaker 1: throw up? You need to build to it, and I
Speaker 1: think we'd all be shocked to see how weak we really. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could do your three sets or whatever, but I
Speaker 1: bet you can't put up what you think you can.
Speaker 3: And you're more likely to injure yourself by trying to
Speaker 3: do that than like just doing steady, consistent weight.
Speaker 1: But I have no interest the same way when I'll
Speaker 1: be like Yo Caminot, try to seafood you on aluk
Speaker 1: seafood no interest, I have no interest. Here's the thing,
Speaker 1: I have no interest in bulks spot because you know
Speaker 1: that bulk turns into extra fat from September to January
Speaker 1: when I'm sitting around lounge and watching football eating five
Speaker 1: layered dips. That's the truth. So I'm trying to lift lighter,
Speaker 1: not as light as rich, lighter to get those reps
Speaker 1: in so that i can eat a little bit more
Speaker 1: and enjoy my football season. Well, I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: this happens. Obviously because people feel comfortable in hoodies and
Speaker 1: football jerseys and sweatshirts. I'm already thinking about next week.
Speaker 1: The real question is how do you try to eat
Speaker 1: relatively healthy here and there? Because I'm already thinking about
Speaker 1: next week Thursday, NFL kickoff Chiefs Ravens and we already
Speaker 1: made planing. Guess what we made plans? Yeah, We're going
Speaker 1: to Buffalo Wild Wings with Danny g It's impossible to
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo wild Wings, any wild wing place, all right,
Speaker 1: and avoid the wings. It's a healthy option. Tell me
Speaker 1: about Friday. Yeah, well that's why you have to care
Speaker 1: a gym to balance it out. Eagles from Brazil, Okay,
Speaker 1: softball buddies like, yeah, we're all going to the bar
Speaker 1: to watch that. Two days in a row. You're eating
Speaker 1: shitty and drinking probably at least a few drinks. And
Speaker 1: then Sunday, I'm already getting people be like, yo, first
Speaker 1: day of the NFL season, you're having people over. Let's
Speaker 1: like make a braunch, we'll eat and yo, oh Sarah,
Speaker 1: do you want to make that stuff? French toast and bacon.
Speaker 1: And so now you talk about Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
Speaker 1: Three out of the four days of that first NFL weekend,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a piece of shit, slop and dude,
Speaker 1: not only some great football, but you got some fights
Speaker 1: coming up. We're gonna be in Vegas for Canello for longa.
Speaker 1: You know, you're gonna be eating and drinking and boozing
Speaker 1: and schmoozing. So all of these things add up, which
Speaker 1: is why the gym is important. But again, nobody's in
Speaker 1: the business of getting hurt from preseason and to you
Speaker 1: in your thirties, forties, whatever, no one wants to get hurt,
Speaker 1: because that hurt is a major step back, which leads
Speaker 1: to you feeling like a slug. Anyway, would you do this?
Speaker 1: Would you do this? Read it? Thirty seven percent of
Speaker 1: men yeah, said they would give up football games for
Speaker 1: two months, So we're talking eight weeks of the NFL
Speaker 1: season two months, eight weeks. Would you do it if
Speaker 1: it meant you just get a six pack? Would you
Speaker 1: do it? Now? If you told me I didn't have
Speaker 1: to work out and I just got to sick pack,
Speaker 1: like eight weeks? You live for this? No, Honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: only a six pack one of my twenty two. If
Speaker 1: you didn't have to work out, if I was a
Speaker 1: fat slob, I might say yes, but I'd rather watch football.
Speaker 1: I want to live life and enjoy I'm not giving
Speaker 1: up to eight weeks of NFL actions or well two way,
Speaker 1: two and five. Men and their belly is the physical
Speaker 1: attribute they change about themselves, And I'm just telling you,
Speaker 1: enjoy your wings, enjoy your beer, but moderation because football
Speaker 1: season is like prime time for you to just lose
Speaker 1: track of your goals, loose track of who you are,
Speaker 1: and just become sloppy. Don't be sloppy. Did you give
Speaker 1: up your love life? Would you give up a six abs?
Speaker 1: He's doing pretty well without him. I'd be more likely
Speaker 1: to do that. Then give up football. You can give
Speaker 1: up You can give up booty for a month or so,
Speaker 1: more so than football. So again, if you're if you're
Speaker 1: doing the math, I don't think maxing out is where
Speaker 1: you are unless you're a professional athlete. Right should be there,
Speaker 1: No one should be. Tom Brady's putting up two forty five,
Speaker 1: good for him, but letting yourself slip in gaining more
Speaker 1: than ten pounds from September to January is also not
Speaker 1: what we're preaching here. There's a middle ground. Stay healthy,
Speaker 1: health is wealth, and that's really yeah, some good motivations. Yeah,
Speaker 1: enjoy your living middle ground somewhere. Oh wait, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, enjoy your Labor Day weekend, eat and drink
Speaker 1: like a slob, and then we'll start fresh next week.
Speaker 1: But it's NFL season, so hey, have fun.
Speaker 3: Diet starts in four months, all right, Yeah, I have this.
Speaker 1: New playing communie. It's going to be my Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: diet when football's over all right, Sure, I will see
Speaker 1: you guys later today. Actually, we'll see you guys tomorrow
Speaker 1: kick off the weekend right Fox Sports Radio. Until then,
