So we kicked off the show today with a surprise visit by the infamous (which is more than famous) Boss Cross. He came in to give us a C&R News Alert! ESPN’s Steve Phillips (and former NY Mets owner) was caught cheating, and he was caught cheating in a BAD way. His 21 year old hog of a nussie wrote a letter to his wife about intimate details of their relationship, saying that she was in love with Steve and that they did more than just have sex. The mistress even wrote about stuff Steve told her about his kids and his marriage. So Steve is in pretty hot water now. The wife has obviously filed for divorce, especially since it came out that this wasn’t the first time this has happened. Obviously Steve never listened to the Covino & Rich Show, but the reason we’re talking about this is because we don’t want you to make the same mistake. We don’t condone cheating in ANY way, because if you do, there is ALWAYS the chance of getting caught, and will only lead to pain for you and your current girl. Definitely think twice about hooking up with the random nuss. And aside from Rich’s advice of getting fake birthmarks and tattoos to disguise your private parts, Covino gives some great advice of what you should do…
Next, we talked about local city and state anthems. The new New York jam is obviously “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z, so what’s yours? Covino insists that “We Don’t Pump Our Gas (We Pump Our Fists)” by the Dirty Jersey Poets is the new Jersey anthem. We’ll just let him have that one. Some dudebros called in and gave theirs, and while there are a lot to list, I’m sure you know yours. As for the Canadian Dudebros, this one seemed to tug at the pride (although I’m not exactly sure why)…
And let’s not forget the Steelers Polka…
Next, we talked briefly about baseball stats. Since the baseball playoffs have been taking over the tube, the guys have noticed some weird stats being mentioned, that don’t even mean anything. Covino noticed that now there are 2 forms of MPH for pitchers – the delivery speed and the speed when it crosses the plate. Really? Who gives a S*%T?!? Or maybe that’s just my lack of care for sports, and the fact that I’d rather fill my head with recipes and harry potter spells.
Next, we talked briefly about Rich’s love of the chain restaurant PF Chang’s. Rich went last night with Sara and got the prefix menu, which included 2 soups, an app, 2 meals, and dessert cups for $39.99. A great deal, Rich, thanks for the tip (and please note the sarcasm). But we have noticed a trend in restaurants offering these preset deals. Like Chili’s has a 2 meals for $20 menu. Is this a sign of the recession, or a sign of America (and Canada) getting fatter. I vote somewhere in between. After all, my fat ass DEFINITELY orders up these menus (and no, i don’t order 2 meals for myself).
Next, we talked to the people of Oceana Restaurant here in New York City – actually conveniently located in our building. We had restaurant owner Nick Livanos and Executive Chef Ben Pollinger in studio. Chef Ben was able to give us some tips on preparing different types of fish. He also gave us some good starter fish for those people who really don’t like fish… like Covino (I still don;t get it). But they brought us some oysters, crab legs, and lobster sandwiches to try out (and gave Covino a burger). But he did try the lobster sandwich, so I guess it’s a start. But Chef Ben recommended some mild fish for Covino to try, like haddock. He also suggested keeping it simple when preparing fish… lay out some foil, drizzle a little olive oil, wrap up the fish, and bake. You can obviously season it up, but that’s about it. And remember, stay away from the fishy smelling fish, or as Covino says, “If it smells like provolone, leave it alone.” Words to live by
Next, we talked a little Halloween, since just over a week away. I think we all agree that halloween has gotten lame, and not just because of the Pussification of America. But Rich is confused on what costume he should wear, and if he should do a joint costume with Sara. Sara was actually in studio and revealed that she already had her costume planned out, and was going to be a Circus ringleader. Now what, rich?? I suggested he be a lion, especially since no mask will fit THAT head. But we’ll keep you posted.
And on a final note, we had our dudebros Jon and Chris visiting from Baltimore. They work with NationsPhotoLab.com and are in town for a convention. But they brought us a special treat… Covino & Rich Wall Grips!! They’re like fat heads – peel and stick life-sized photos you can stick on any way, and then easily remove. Support the dudebros and order one of your own. But we’re placed the Wall Grips on the studio window, and now we’re gonna play a game – see how long it takes before they’re removed, and who will remove them. Start the clock….NOW!
That’s it for Wednesday. Until tomorrow, see you in the Promised Land!

Today, we kicked off the show talking about a new breakthrough in bringing people back to life. Covino was flipping through the Sirius XM dial, and decided to listen to CNN. He heard resident doc Sanjay Gupta talk about new studies in resuscitating people after they’ve usually been pronounced dead. This led us to wonder how many people have actually died in the past that could have been saved! I look at it as there’s new technology all the time that keeps us living longer, so it’s just going with the times. No sense in dwelling on the past. We also found out that there’s a shot for about 10 grand a vial that can prolong you long enough to be transported a few hours and saved. Rich just thinks that situations like this will now just be reserved for the rich, and the rest of us will have to suffer. Oh well. You can learn more about the study at CNN.com
On a side note, we learned that Covino had, not his white boy meeting like Rich, but his mexican meeting with Jose (BROTHERS!) Not that monumental, but good for a little bit of funny audio…
And during Rich’s white boy meeting with the boss, they were talking about the new movie Paranormal Activity. Apparently this movie has been so overhyped and gained so much buzz, and there are stories being released of people running out of the theater crying. Seriously?? Um, it’s just a movie. Rich and Spot saw the movie last week and think it’s definitely something to check out, but if you can wait, probably better for a DVD night than a movie night. It will definitely help to set the mood as most of it takes place in someones house. In case you don’t know what Paranormal Activity is, here’s the trailer…
Next, we had a little fun talking about “Shit Our Dad Says.” Covino told a story from yesterday of when we were on the phone with Rich’s dad, trying to get his opinion on good moments for the Covino & Rich Anniversay Special. He kept saying one of his favorite moments was when Tony “Donza” was on the show and when Tony “Donza” and Covino both did their Tony “Donza” impressions. He really liked Tony “Donza.” So we’ve decided that dads always tend to mispronounce everything! But they only do that because theyre at the point where they just don’t care anymore. We figure it’s a guy thing, and all guys are headed that way. You make it to a point in your life where what you say is always right. So we did a salute to our dads and all the crazy stuff they say! On a related note, you should check out the twittered @shitmydadsays for some great quotes from this guy’s dad. And of course, while you’re there, check out @covinoandrich
Before we continue, we talked about Spot’s busted toes… AGAIN!
Next , we hit a few C&R News Alerts. Singer Leona Lewis got punched…IN THE FACE!! She was doing an album signing at a record store and some random dude just walked up and punched her in the face. Security hauled this dude away, but no one knows why he did it. We also talked about this…
Apparently this mysterious cloud appeared over Moscow. Is it a UFO?? Is it just weather related? Is it a gas pocket? No one really knows. But we do know one thing, Covino believes its real. Maybe it is aliens, because it looks a lot like when the ships arrived in Independence Day. Hmm…
Next. we talked about memorabilia, and if it’s displayed properly, can any type be cool? Some dude has a crazy collection of Star Wars Memorabilia, but it’s laid out pretty nice. Check this out (or read the full article here)…
Covino, who is the proud owner of a Terminator 2 replica head, believes that if you put ANYTHING in a glass case, it can look cool. We found that a lot of our dudebros collect random stuff. But if put in a case, or in a frame, it makes your cluttered collection that much cooler. So step it up, and even your stamp collection will look cool.
Next, we received a “special” treat when Paulina stopped by the studio…
Paulina is Miss Howard TV for November ‘09 (www.howardtv.com) and featured in the Tempe 12 2010 calendar. On her bio, we found out that Paulina has NEVER had an orgasm. Yes, we said never. We found this hard to believe that this college nuss has never had an O. We grilled her about how this was possible, and even though she couldn’t form a coherent sentence, we realized that maybe she just hasn’t found the right dude yet. It’s like the sword in the stone – the right guy is out there. So even though Paulina wants people to think she’s asexual (because we KNOW she’s not) we decided to talk to her about a Maxim.com article written by our good friend John DeVore. It was called the 9 Sexual Mistakes you make in college. We want to make sure our younger dudebros don’t make this mistake and that our older dudebros still aren’t doing this stuff. A few highlights were…
-Lighting up incense
-pregame shots
-themed bedsheets
-wearing socks in bed (although Covino used to believe in the “it’s not cheating if your socks are on” theory, but that has since changed.
Finally, we were about to get into a topic about parents getting e-mail updates from teachers about their kids progress, but we were hit with BREAKING NEWS!!!
Balloon Boy is on the loose! Apparently a 6-year old boy is trapped in an experimental helium balloon and is floating around just north of Denver. Unfortunately, we ran out of time, but we’ll keep you posted…
That does it for today… until our Friday extravaGONZA!

(and, on a side note, a Happy Birthday to my “cooler older brother” James aka Jairok)
Today, we kicked off the show with an update from Rich.. a very rare moment in the Covino & Rich show history took place as Rich publicly thanked Covino for swaying his mind yesterday. As you may recall, Rich was considering leasing a new apartment yesterday after very little comparison shopping and NO consultation with his woman. He essentially starting signing papers for the first place he saw. After Covino and myself put a little doubt in his mind, he left work yesterday and checked out a few other places, eventually finding what he considered the perfect place for him. It’s located in Jersey City, and has floor to ceiling windows with a NYC skyline view. It also has a doorman and gym in the building. So Rich was very happy, and for once, the show was instrumental in a major decision in his life. So thanks to all of you for swaying Dicky.
Next, we talked about Montro99. Who is Montro99 you ask?? Well he’s a barber. But not just any barber… he’s the barber responsible for the precision beards and hair of some of the big athletes. He’s the man behind Big Papi’s precision beard that we frequently reference on the show and Gary Sheffield’s precision pomp. He was featured in a segment on E60 last night, and the guys thought he was amazing. We’re working to bring him on the show, and possibly even give Spot the Big Papi precision hair and beard. But this guy leads the baller life, traveling to where these players need him, all at their expense, and probably getting bank for just doing the cut in the first place. So stay tuned, and we’ll get the real story from the man. You can check out Montro99 at www.montro99.com
Before we continue, one of the Opie & Anthony Show interns brought the guys some ice cream. I’m not exactly sure why, but something to do with payback and getting ice cream for everyone around the office. But as the guys from O&A walked in, we received a heartbreaking Covino & Rich News Alert. The one and only Captain Lou Albano, famous WWF manager, died earlier this morning at 76 years old. He’s also known for his appearance in Cyndi Lauper’s “Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun” video…
We also learned that Rich claims he’s the “Captain” of the Morning Mashup on Hits1. His fellow show members have been making fun of him since he said this. So is he cooler than Captain and Tenille?…
Or maybe just like Captain Kangaroo?…
Next, we talked about an insane article in one of the local newspapers that states colleges are urging their students to avoid playing beer pong and to avoid kissing random girls, because it promotes the spread of the Swine Flu. REALLY?!? This is definitely another case of the Pussification of America. Of course, we know that college students wont pay ANY attention to this request, but the fact that their asking is insane. After all, beer pong and random hookups are the cornerstone of any good college education. And besides, who’s worried about the swine flu? After all, that small cup of water you use to rinse the ball is powerful enough to kill any germs from a frat house floor, so it MUST be powerful enough to kill the Swine Flu…. right?!?
Our next News alert is going to blow your mind. Meet “dream guy…”
According to the website www.thisman.org, apparently thousands of people have had dreams featuring a guy that looks like the above sketch. Needless to say, we’re freaked out. I don;t know what it is, but there’s something about this guy that is just eerie. The site features an explanation and testimonials of people who have dreamed about dream guy. We’re not sure if this is a hoax or some kind of publicity stunt, but it’s pretty convincing. Now that you’ve seen him, we guarantee he WILL haunt your dreams. Even Covino is going to start having dreams about this guy. Listen….
We also played a clip of the guy who claims he can sing 5 octaves. Pretty stupid, but something about this is hilarious. Watch for yourself…
Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, if you’re bored or need a good laugh, check out www.fatkidsfalling.com You wont be disappointed. After all, you can find gems like this…
Next, we talked about Spot’s laser toes. Yes, I said laser toes. Spot, as you can see by the picture below, has a bit of a toenail fungus problem. These are spot’s BAT’s (busted ass toes) or “pobre-si-toes” …
So today, Spot came across this new treatment that involves shooting laser beams at his toenails to get rid of the fungus. It’s an experimental treatment not monitored by the FDA, but there have been high success rates. The only problem is that it’s not covered by insurance, so it costs over $1000. So if you want to sponsor Spot’s toes, head here and make a donation
Next, we answered a quick friend in need from Alex in Rhode Island. He hit us on the Facebook Page… his woman keeps harassing him about pumpkin and apple picking this weekend. He can’t decide if it will be something fun, or if it’s just a chore. He knows it’s a regional thing, but wants our take on it. Well, first, Covino dropped some amazing pumpkin knowledge – there’s a pumpkin shortage and all pumpkins are hermaphrodites. Only Covino would know this. But aside from that, we know that day events like this usually last well beyond the point of a guys fun level. Once the guy is ready to go, the woman is pretty much getting started. But “a happy wife means a happy life” so it can’t hurt to indulge your woman every once in a while. And this goes for anything in life, not just pumpkin/apple picking.
Finally, we wrapped the show with a special guest in studio – Al Skop from the Highway channel on Sirius XM (Sirius 60 XM 16). As you may know, the Highway plays country music, and Rich enlisted Al’s help to convince Covino and some of the dudebros that country music has some decent tunes. And since Covino is all about the megamix, Al created a playlist of songs that Covino should check out, and maybe would sway him to the dark side. We also took some suggestions from you. One listener even summed up our topic pretty well –
-Rap concerts are like a club who let too many people in
-Rock concerts are like a huge party
-Country concerts are like a tailgate
Well said!
But here’s Al’s playlist:
Zac Brown Band – Toes
Miranda Lambert – Kerosene
Jason Aldean – She’s Country
Bucky Covington – Gotta Be Somebody
Keith Urban – Sweet Thing
Brad Paisley – I’m Still a Guy
Dierks Bently – Free and Easy Down the Road I Go
Darius Rucker – Alright
Kenny Chesney – Keg in the Closet
(Honorable Mention) Love & Theft – Runaway
But now that you’re all countried out, that does it for today. Until tomorrow… see you in the promised land!
