Happy Toooooooosday!

So we kicked off another edition of the Covino & Rich Show with a few random bits of Maxim goodness (as we always do). First, a quick mention that the guys saw David Foster in the hallways. Rich didnt know who he was, but as Covino said, “He’s worked with EVERYONE!” Check out his bio and you’ll see. Maybe coming soon, we can add Ticklesack to the list.

Also, since David Foster worked with Alice Cooper, Rich asked the following trivia question: Who was Alice Cooper with ringside at Wrestlemania 2. Answer: THIS GUY!…

Jake the Snake Roberts

Anyway, next we pulled a Covino & Rich audible, and talked about your favorite “pharmacy” toys. Yesterday on the show, we found out that Rich had never heard of sea monkeys. Covino sweated sea monkeys as a kid, but Rich had no clue (even though he had his own brand. ha!)

Dicky's Monkies

Anyway, so talking about sea monkeys led us to compile a list of some of the other cool toys that you didnt get at the toy store, but the ones in the toy aisle at your local pharmacy. Some of our favorites include the following…

Guns that shoot plastic discs
Pump Rockets
Cap guns
Bang snaps
Shrinky dinks
Switchblade combs
Green army men with the fake plastic parachutes
wooden or styrofoam planes
and many more! ;)

However, we tried to compile a top 3, but couldnt decide on a third, leaving that up to you. But the Top 2 are the gun that shoots plastic discs and the pump rockets.

As it’s Tuesday, maybe this next story could be the Pussification of America. Tufts University is putting a ban on sex in dorm rooms while your roommate is around. We took some great stories from the dudebros about them either having sex while their roommate or bud was in the room, or being the guy stuck listening to this. Covino even said that he used to crank it to his roommate having sex. A bit of excessive information i think. But as the guys said, every guy has had sex with someone else in the room, so we can all relate. This ban just takes away yet another thing that is part of life experience. So dudebros in college, cherish it while you can before the ban spreads. As a matter of fact, if youre in college right now and your roommate is home, invite over a random nussie right now to have sex.

Oh, before we continue, here’s a quick news story clip we came across. Check out this guys reaction. Funny shit…

Embedding is disabled, so find the video here!

Finally, we wrapped this Toooosday show talking about buying stuff at the store, just to use it once or twice, and then returning it. Nicole from Hits 1 Morning Mashup has to go to a wedding and doesnt want to spend the money on a new dress. So she figured she’d buy a dress, hide the tags, wear it and then return it the next day. Is this right or wrong?? That’s up to you to decide. It’s kind of scumbaggish. But at the same time, as Covino pointed out, if their return policy allows you to do this, then you shouldnt feel bad. I say there’s a distinction between buying something and not liking it, so you return it AND buying something with the intention of using it once and then returning it, but Covino sees otherwise. We took some great stories from dudebros who cheated the system, so apparently this is WAY more common than we think. But as one guy told us, it’s the manufacturers that get screwed, not the stores themselves, because the stores return the items to the manufacturer. Someone has to pay for it in the end. But Covino summed all of this up best with one line: You can’t scam the system because the system is a scam. Deep.

Oh, and here’s a little nugget to enjoy. I thought this was the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while. Remember, if you don’t want something, just listen to Frank Stallone…

As we recently discussed on the show, we’re on the lookout for the best jerky out there. We’ve tried various brands, and so far (even though we hate to admit it) The Jerkman’s jerky is pretty damn tasty. But here’s where you come in… we’ve all tried that one brand on jerky that is way better than the rest. Maybe you make it, maybe it’s only available in your local store, maybe it’s a national brand, but we’ve never tasted it.

So it’s time to show us what REAL beef jerky tastes like. Send us your favorite BEEF jerky (please, no turkey, venison, or fish), and once we gather up the goods, we’ll plan the C&R Jerk Off to decide who has the best beef jerky. Obviously, we’d prefer to go with the homemade variety, but if you have a favorite local brand that you know about, we’ll accept that. We’ll come up with a prize at a later date, but for now, we’ll add Covino & Rich bragging rights into the mix, which are better than regular bragging rights.

So here’s the address (and don’t worry, I WILL share with the guys if you send it to me)…

Sirius XM Satellite Radio
The Covino & Rich Show
Attn: Christian Sorge
1221 Avenue of the Americas, 37th Fl
New York, NY 10020

Let’s see what you’ve got!

Happy Crappy Moonday to one and all…

Covino is still stuck out on the west coast since he couldnt miss the chance to be Mario Lopez’s understudy at the live finale of America’s Best Dance Crew. But he’s still with us on the show, getting it down, and pompous as ever.

small head, big body

So we kicked off the show with a little weekend recap. Definitely a few things over the weekend that were worthy of checking out. We did a brief NFL recap, and went over some of the strong and weak players of the league. We also talked about when the system is greater than any one player, and they get carried by a decent setup. What dat mean? I don’t know! We also had an update of Rich’s wallet. He won most of his NFL game bets, but lost big on college football. I think he came out ahead this weekend. The new Saturday Night Live (starring Megan Fox) sucked more than my balls, but the talk of the episode was the new girl, Jenny Slate, dropping the F bomb. She actually joins a pretty exclusive club. Our boys at Asylum.com break it down, but here’s the clip we speak of…

After talking a little football, we moved on to Spot. Spot (that’s me) s a pack rat. Rich visited Spot’s house for the first time on Friday night. Spot tried to keep Dicky out of his room, but he insisted on seeing it. And what he found, was a MESS!! Spot had shit (not actual human feces) everywhere, magazines, and even commemorative coins just lying around. Rich thinks Spot has a problem, but Spot insists it’s just laziness and unorganization. But we went over some of the rules on keeping stuff, like you should only have one large plastic container of stuff from each chapter of your life. Covino kind of sided with spot, saying that Rich puts no value on things, and maybe Spot just is bad at keeping everything organized. Either way, if I feel up to it, pics coming soon.

Next, we did a little Dexter update (see episode below). Rich saw it last night, Covino didnt have a chance to watch it, but Rich thought it was amazing. Dexter is dealing with being a daddy, just like Covino, but more importantly, there’s a new creepy killer on the show, and he’s played by John Lithgow (not to be confused with Jeffrey Tambor). We even see John Lithgow’s man ass and bitch tits in this episode! But since he was so creepy, we decided to compile a list of some of the creepiest guys in movies and TV. Some of them include Kevin Spacey in Se7en, Robin Williams in One Hour Photo, Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear, etc. Oh, and here’s that episode of Dexter…

Next, we talked about the big boxing match over the weekend of Chris Arreola and Vitali Klitschko. The fight was going ok, but then in the 10th round, the ended the fight. Immediately, Arreola broke into tears. Covino said his whole night was ruined, because this put him in a swoot mood. Or maybe it’s just because Covino looks like Arreola, we cant decide, but you can ;)

covino or arreola

Next, we answered a special joint “Friend in need” e-mail from Frank and Lindsay in Cincinatti. Frank is 33, Lindsay is 31, and they just recently had their second kid. Back when they were first married, Lindsay asked Frank if she could get a boob job after their second child, and Frank agreed. He was all for it back then. But times have changed. The tough economic times and the cost of 2 kids has tighten the wallets a bit, and Frank can’t justify spending $8000 grand on a boob job. However, Linsday still insists that this is a priority and she get this because it was a promise. Everyone said that she should understand, and maybe put it off for a while, but I doubt she will listen. A lot of other dudebros said a happy wife makes a happy life.

Finally, we wrapped the show with a few news alerts

-T.O. is starting a twitter fight, calling out Rodney Harrison for steroid use
-The price of the Nintendo Wii has dropped to $199
-STAT: 83% of Allergy sufferers claim their condition affects their sex life

Finally, there s a clip circulating the interweb of Matt Damon bitching out Adrian Grenier of Entourage. We have word that it’s most likely a fake, and was on last night after Entourage, but you decide for yourself…

Well that’s it for today… until TOOOOOOOOOOSDAY!

-Spotty :)

Hey all,

It’s time for yet another awesome edition of the Covino & Rich Show, with lots of action packed Maxim goodness just for you.

We kicked off the show with the winner of America’s Got Talent – Kevin Skinner. He was the country farmer. Why did he win? We’re not exactly sure. When he’s on the show, he does pretty well, but when you just listen to the audio of him singing, it sounds like he’s doing bad karaoke. Covino thinks the name of the show should be changed to “America’s Got A Hearing Problem.” If this is based on talent, then Barbara Padilla, the other girl, should have one. But you can judge for yourself…

Kevin’s performace… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMGRaTocdpg (embedding is disabled)

Barbara’s performance… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NClQN3yLZqc (embedding is disabled)

Oh wait, before we continue, check out this video of Fox NY news anchor talking about doing bad things with chickens. He said he said “plucking” but we hear otherwise…

Next, there was a very heated argument between Rich and Spot. Rich came into work this morning talking about his awesome dinner last night…. of Mac and Cheese with Tuna. He said it was so tasty. I said it was the most disgusting thing ever, and even worse, so Whiskey Tango (that’s white trash to you). Rich and his girl are getting sucked into the nasty ways of the south. Sure, i’ve eated it before, but when I was 9 years old and my mom was trying to feed 4 kids. As an adult, it’s so easy to whip up something tasty for yourself. My dinner last night was Chicken breasts stuffed with spinach and goat cheese. So easy, tasty, and probably took me as long to make as it did for Rich to open his can of tuna. But apparently I’m a food snob because i like to eat (insert fat joke here). But we took some of your favorite concoctions as well. What are yours? Be sure to head over to the C&R Forum and let us know. here’s a good one from Paul in edmonton that he so graciously posted on my facebook…


TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE

extra wide egg noodles

2 cans Albacore tuna in water, drained

1 can Cream of Celery Soup

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 cup milk

8 oz. Velveeta cheese

4 oz. jar of chopped pimientos, drained

2 ribs of celery, diced

1 small onion, diced

lemon zest

1/2 cup sliced almonds

Next, Covino decided to anger a few of our listeners. He was watching The Ultimate Fighters: Heavyweights on Spike TV last night. Abe Wagner was fighting Jon Madsen, and Wagner was getting beaten to a bloody pulp. See the video below… towards the end of round 2, they show a huge gash in his forehead. Not to mention, he was covered in blood the entire fight. But as Covino was watching this, he thought it was stupid and not even considered a sport. Boxing is a sport, MMA is just barbaric. Boy, did that set everyone off. The only people on his side were a few girls and Rich (redundant, i know). But see for yourself… is this a sport??

Next, Rich not only has Sara visiting this weekend, but some of her friends visiting as well. Our dudebro Malakai and his wife are making their first visit to NYC. Since we live in NYC, we often take some of the tourist attractions for granted that out-of-towners would want to see. So we asked our out-of-town dudebros to help us make a list of definite musts on a visit to New York City. Here are some highlights…

-Statue of Liberty
-Top of the Rock (cooler view than the Empire State Building)
-A broadway show (Rich’s fav’s are Wicked or Jersey Boys)
-Del Frisco’s for a tasty steak
-check out the Brooklyn Bridge (along the East River)
and the list goes on. Be sure to check out the forum for more ideas…

Next, we got into one of the swootest Friend in Needs we’ve had in a while. One of our dudebros has been married for 3 years, and has a 1 year old son. Recently, his wife told him that she had been banging one of her coworkers for about a year. She was really sorry, but now the only thing he can picture is his wife getting nailed by her coworker. He doesnt know if he should leave her or stay with her for the sake of their child. He’ll always be supportive of the kid, but he wants the best environment. Our advice, and the advice of the dudebros, is to get out now, because it’ll be worse if he sticks around and they just have a poisonous relationship. Also, a few of the dudebros who have been through the same situation gave advice on how to make sure he is still able to see his kid. Sorry for the swoot topic, but hopefully all the happy music we played helped keep up your spirits.

Finally, we wrapped the show with a few news alerts. First, dudes in DC have the biggest average penis size. Also, you HAVE to check out this video. Bill Dance hosts a fishing show and these are the bloopers…

That’s it for today… until tomorrow for an action-packed Friday show.

-Spotty



Sep 16

Alright dudes and nussies… we kicked off the show today talking about news headlines. Kayne is still a major douche, Serena Williams is crazy competitive, but shes just being passionate about her sport, and people are still freaking out about Joe Wilsons comment about Obama.

Kanye West at the VMAs…

Serena Williams Freak Out…

Rep. Joe Wilson Interrupts Obama…

Rich also told us he doesnt play in the company softball games anymore because he got pissed at some girl who sucked and he yelled at her. Was Rich being passionate? Possibly. Crazy Competitive? Definitely. RIP “The Kate Gosselin” from Kate of Jon and Kate+8… Johnny Rzezniks can finally get his hair back…

Moving on, Covino wore a Che Guevara T-shirt and a few tight ass republican dudes gave him all kinds of crap for it. If you dont know who Che is, you should. Google it and learn something. Or rent the two part Soderbergh movie, its pretty dope.

Speaking of Cuban nationalists, Spot is wearing a Fidel Castro hat today.

And, apparently the Kings of Leon are seriously popular (who knew? Oh wait, we all did 5 years ago) because Rich cant get tickets for him and his girlfriend. We also played Powerman 5000 semi-dope new song, Supervillian. Next we talked about Spots next investment, the Harry Potter style Universal Remote Wand. Yes, you heard me right; Spot is going to buy a Harry Potter Wand. Most of us agree that the Wand should come with a No Ass For a Lifetime guarantee. Its what we like to call a nussie repellant. Besides casting spells and changing the TV channel, I made the suggestion that Spot and his girl role play with it in the bedroom. He is totally into it.

wand-remote

So anyways, we also talked about great bands/artists that totally died out, i.e. Paul McCartney, GnR, Lionel Ritchie, etc. There were some great suggestions in the forum, so check them out.

Next we talked with our awesome guests, Gary Cannon and Mitch Fatel. We discussed more about great bands/artists that died out and Gary and Mitch. They had a great insight for us…the long term successful artists are cokeheads. Ha, so true. Then our guests graced us with a great story about getting a BJer from the same nussie on the same night. Is that gay? You decide. So that just about wraps it up for today…

Sep 16

What up dudebros and nussies…  so we started out toooosday s show talking about the season finale of Trueblood. We all thought the finale was a let down, but whatever, the show is pretty badass regardless.

Then we went on to talk about how Kayne West is a BIG douche.  Apparently, Kayne s gigantic ego propelled him to snatch the mic away from Taylor Swift at the VMAs. Then the ego douche went on to proclaim he s sorry and all that b.s. Also, the VMAs were generally shitty and our awesome producer Spot said the production and performers were pretty piss poor. The VMAs need to hire Spot to run shit.

Kayne is a Douche

Next we moved on to discussing Rich and Covino s double date vacation in San Francisco. Rich got sucked into a tourist trap restaurant, the Fishermans Wharf, where he paid over 100 bucks for lunch.

Then we went on to announce the winner of our TSS Covino and Richs Video Contest. Congratulations Greg Mercer, our grand prize winner, for his super awesome video.  To everyone who didnt win, too bad. No just kidding, your videos were awesome, thanks  dudes.

Also, FYI: Greg told us that there is a super secret hidden video at the end if you keep watching, so check that out. Another noteworthy video was submitted by Josh in Winnepeg. The video was hysterical/borderline creepy, check that one out too.   

News Alert!!! Rich finally saw La Bamba for the first time. This got us started on who the worst brother in movies or tv are, since Richie Valens s brother Bob was a total douche.  Some suggestions were Salim from Slumdog Millionaire; Tom Cruise from Rain Man; Buzz from Home Alone and you get the idea. If you got some suggestions, post it in the forum.

La Bamba also got us started on songs written about and for a nussie, since Donna totally didnt deserve the song Richie wrote for her. Ungrateful nussie. Rich made a great analogy: writing a song about a girl is like getting a tattoo.

Moving right along, we talked two hotties today. First was Penthouse nussie Krista Ayne, who will be appearing on Cinemaxs new show Life on Top (also a book). We talked to her a little bit about feeling awkward during sex scenes and had her play the Buckets of Justice game. We also talked to hottie saxophone player Jesse J about her new CD True Love.

Krista Ayne

Lastly, we wrapped up the show with some football talk and how in the hell the Patriots won and that Rich hated the Raiders jerseys.

So that’s about all for today…

Sep 11

Sup dudebros and nussies?

Yes, it’s time for yet another edition of the Covino & Rich Show…. better yet, it’s a FRIDAY edition of the show!!  C&R are still doing it LIVE from the west coast as they prepare for their double-date weekend getaway.  Be sure to stay tuned for Tuesday’s show (we’re off Monday) to hear some of their crazy antics from the weekend! 

Anyway, on with the show…

We kicked off the show with a little anecdote from the boys that took place during their dinner at Don Cuco’s in LA.  They were sitting at dinner with their women, and Rich overheard a neighboring table talking about a talk show host from Sirius XM.  He couldnt stop eavesdropping (or easedropping, as Rich calls it, because he does it with such ease.)  Eventually, it got to the point where he wasnt paying attention to his table, so they dared him to go over and ask who they were talking about.  He did it, and it turned out to be no one he knew.  Covino think’s Rich is a doofus for his conversation long jumps…better yet, conversation pole vaults.  He constantly does this, especially at the office.  It’s not your conversation, so stay out. We took some calls from dudebros who have done the same thing.  I guess it’s hard to avoid sometimes, but for Rich, he’s just trying to be the center of attention.

(Rich: “I work at Sirius XM toooooooooooooo……”)

Next, we had Rutina Wesley on the show, who you might know as Tara Thornton from True Blood.  We were all super excited, as we’re all big fans of the show.  We talked about the season finale, which airs this Sunday at 9p ET on HBO.  We also talked about working with the show, how she got involved, and whether or not she’s annoyed by the fake accents that the male leads have.  Despite the fact that Rich couldnt stop calling her “Tara” instead of Rutina, she was cool guest.  And check back next week as I’m sure we’ll discuss the finale.  And since the boys are in LA, I got to get the pic…

spotandrutina by you.

Next, a C&R News Alert:  Rich got a new iPhone.  His old iPhone stopped working last night, so he was so desperate for a new one that he traveled all the way to the mall to get buy it.  We talked about some cool apps for the iPhone, taking some suggestions from callers for cool general and sports-related apps.  And no Covino, i don’t mean the Spinach Artichoke Dip from Applebee’s.  We also talked about accesories, and how to rock them.  No guy should be wearing his phone on his belt.  And spot has a light blue iPhone case that his girl bought him.  He loves it, and refuses to give it up, but guys should only be rocking a black or clear case, nothing else.

Next, we talked a little hazing… in particular, a story in the news today.  San Diego Chargers rookie Larry English was the victim of the yearly hazing ritual of the Chargers, where the first rounder rookie has to take the rest of the team out to dinner.  The bill totalled $14,508.67 (see a copy of the bill below).  For someone who just signed a multimillion dollar contract, it’s not THAT big of a deal.  But just because it’s tradition, is it really necessary? There are so many hazing rituals these days – Do they really build team chemistry?  Or are they just stupid pranks?  Decide for yourself, but we all rag on our buddies, so it’s not a big deal.

Finally, as i mentioned before, the boys are hitting the road on their double date vacation.  Since they’ll be in the car for about 7 hours, we talked about cool things to do during a road trip.  Covino, Rich, and the listeners came up with a few suggestions of games to play and trivia to do.  Rich’s favorite game is to go through the Sirius XM dial, and play title & artist on each station until you get stumped.  We know Rich will dominate the country section since he’s become hop a long dicky.

That about does it for today’s show.  Before we go, we’d like to acqknowledge those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on our country 8 years ago today on September 11, 2001, and those who lost their lives in the years that followed as a result of the after effects.

Have a great weekend!  See you TOOOOOOsday!

Spotty :)

By the way, another special thanks to Skype video capture…

Rich in the AM…

Rich in the AM by you.

Covino get’s his daily dose…

can you blame Covino for hating these things?

Rich's nasty feet



Sep 10

What’s up dudebros and nussies, it’s your new intern (a.k.a. hotter Amy Poehler) bringing you the recap. R.I.P. Jamie and Zito, you guys are missed…

So anyway, we kicked off 09/09/09 by talking about the most awesome invention ever: Slingbox. Covino just installed one so he can watch True Blood while he’s on vacation because the season finale is this Sunday. If you don’t know what Slingbox is, get your head out of your ass and check out the link.

Next, we continued the What Movie is This Super Dope Song From? from Tuesday’s show. Most of you were on point and knew the answers, but some of you need to step up your movie comprehension! Which leads me to our lovely guest, Miss Hooters International 2009 Raechel Holtgrave, who also partook in the What Movie is This Super Dope Song From? Sadly, Hooters women are seriously brain-dead when it comes to super dope movies since Raechel seemed to think every song was from My Girl. But she is smoking hot, so I guess it doesn’t matter does it?

Miss Hooters International 2009

Miss Hooters International ’09 also talked about traveling, spray tanning, and what her type of man is (listen up guys): Miss Hooters goes for funny guys… not that this is a huge revelation since pretty much every woman likes funny guys. Also, in case you didn’t know, Rich’s girlfriend is Miss Hooters International 2008. Both nussies kind of look the same, but I think Rich’s girl is hotter.Rich's Nussie

Moving right along, beef jerky is awesome!!  Covino and Rich think beef jerky is the best dude treat ever. We also had a heated debate over what type of beef jerky is the best, which led us to the idea of having the first ever Covino and Rich’s Jerk Off.  More details to come about that…

Next, we discussed Covino’s aspirations to buy a Vespa. A few callers thought it was a good idea while most (including Rich) thought it’s a retarded idea and that scooters are a death trap.

Los Vespas Locos 

And finally, we wrapped up the show with an intensive debate over circumcised vs. uncircumcised penises. Covino and Rich are both circumcised.

That’s about it for 9/9/09…

-Kristi the New Intern
