Hello World……

            Happy Monday Dudebros!!! The Sweetness is in full effect today yes it’s raining on this end of the east coast hopefully where ever you are it’s a bright and sunny day! I can tell you right now this rain was in no way gonna spoil our mood today. We had another action pack NFL kick ass show, but I’ll get into that a little bit later. Also to let my dudebros know Covino is in L.A. for a few days and the boys are heading out to the state where EVERYTHING is big. Including the damn bugs, TEXAS here we come!!! YEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAA (I feel like I should wear a cowboy hat right now) Let’s kick start this sweetness!

              Figured you guys don’t wanna see me in my ass less chaps so why not Jessica? I’m mentioning all this cowboy stuff for one reason MOON TOWER COMEDY FEST. It’s gonna be kicking off  at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas from 10am-2pm 4/25, 4/26, 4/27  if your gonna be down in Texas please show your love to Covino and Rich I know those guys are very excited to come down and show you some NY love! In case your new to the show and wondering who the hell are these city boys and what they look like? (Look for a goofy white guy in a rhinestone cowboy outfit, and a Mexican in jeans, a leather jacket, and a cowboy hat.) For the start of the show Rich was in a off mood, not only because Covino was in L.A. (What up Covino!!!) mostly because as soon as he walked into the studio this morning all he could smell was a nasty foul shit smelling Oder. So during SpotCenter the dudebros made me run to Duane Reade to grab some candles (Drugstore in case some of you have no idea what that is NO it’s not a person lol)

               Apparently while I was out Rich was just storming at how he is sick and tired of this place looking like someones college dormroom. Rich got so upset he literally had to take a breath outside the studio to calm down, I can understand where he is coming from because if you seen the way some people treat this studio you would think we had animals in here. To end this short story WE just finished doing our Spring cleaning inside the studio which it is now 5pm Eastern Standard time. Literally 2 hours playing clean up after other peoples shit including a few things of our own but not much compared to the gum, old food, deodarant, and used razors chilling behind our nasty coach. After finding that I think Rich just wanted to bomb the whole studio at that point.

                    Announcement for all our fellow dudebros, The guys were speaking today on how to get more followers on Twitter since Spot made this crazy poster mocking Kony 2012 saying “Need all the answers follow Covino and Rich on Twitter.” Not so sure if that poster actually worked but Rich wanted to know if there were any great poster slogans or just any random ideas you guys have in order to get more followers. Hit the fellas up @CovinoandRich, hit us up on the Forms CovinoandRich.com, or call us at the studio 1-888-996-2946. Now to end this Sweetness with a bang we had a special guest on and he is a NFL LEGEND well now a NFL broadcasting LEGEND, Dan Marino was in the building!!                                                                                 

            He was in the building of course to talk football but also to mention his take on this years NFL draft which is in a few days!!  He also mentioned how he never won a Super Bowl but is proud and honored to be mentioned with the big names who did win Super Bowl titles. You can’t forget he is in the Hall Of Fame and broke a lot of big time records while playing the game so don’t sneeze on the big homie. He also came in to promote AARP which is a health awareness for guys who are climbing to 50 or over 50. Now don’t be afraid to say you are getting there or you are 50 to me (Which I am 22) Be proud that you made it to 50 God kept you still here on Earth for a reason a lot of kids my age don’t even make it to 50 years old! Needless to say Dan Marino is an ambassador of AARP and is basically giving out tips, stradegies, health awareness, how to eat right and what to do to stay fit. I mean I seen Dan Marino in the flesh with my own eyes (I even got to talk to him live on the air) he looks fucking amazing for a 50 year old athlete. I thought it was really cool for him to do this and help the average Joe who may not be in shape or not know what to do to stay healthy and stay a hell of a lot longer here on earth with us.

              Plus I must say to all the haters or fans of Dan Marino the guy is a straight up gentleman, I mean he is very down to earth, kind, and genuine. We had a lady in the officies who her family and her are big fans and she had his jersey and waited the whole half hour just to have him sign it he offered to take a picture with her and the pen she had ended up not writing on the jersey so he said “Lets go up front and grab a black sharpie I’ll make sure to hook you up.” NOT many people nevermind celebrities are that nice to fans or other people in general, also to add after everyone got their picture he seen me (The lonely intern) and asked if I would want to take a picture with him! I hope you all knew what my answer was hahaa. Stand up guy for you I’ll tell you that! If you get some time and are looking for help please check out the website…..www.AARP.org hopefully it will guide you in the right place.

Until the next time dudebros…………………………KEEP YOUR AREAS CLEAN!!! (Jeez)

04/20/12 Show recap

April 20, 2012 in Featured, Main Blog, recaps | Comments

Hello Dudebros!

You know what day it is? FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!

now for those dying with anticipation about Covino’s whole McDonald’s ice cream cone fiasco there is a follow up!

Covino went into McDonalds he ignored the stares from those around him and told the woman behind the counter that he was charged  twice but, he doesn’t want his dollar back, he just wants another cone- a cone that is owed to him.

The woman behind the register looked at him and said: “I’ll give you your cone”

Covino walked out, ignoring stares from other patrons, cone in hand, and a giant smile on his face.

There is a new bachelorette, her name is Emily, she is 27 a PhD student and said when dancing she
tends to: “drop it like it’s hot” – now she may say drop it like it’s hot, but don’t be mislead- she fits into the usual Bachelorette contestant mold, she is a southern, skinny, good-looking, blonde girl- again.

See the Bachelor is getting some flack for their choice in contestant, mainly that they are always really fit, southern type, white people- they never have any ethnic people as the main option.
Now Covino and Rich start by saying what if the Bachelor/ette does not like someone ethnic? Do they put them on just so they are there? Also do you make an all ethnic season to please people?

Honestly a few callers said the most important part- the Bachelor/ette is a show that is catering to white woman probably aged 30+, that is the demographic they want to reach, so they are not going to mess with the dynamic that is clearly working.

Also really black (or more general, ethnic) people? REALLY? You are going to fight to be on a show where you compete to date someone? I mean that’s just stupid things to fight for- equality is important and all, but fighting for things that matter- not the bachelor, that’s just stupid. I mean you are basically fighting to get on a show where you give up a couple of months  to pretend you love this group of men/women and then just end up broken up and with paparazzi following you everywhere.

If you want go to a bar- walk up to random guys that you like and hand them roses, then drink some tequila and rip up the roses of those that tequila doesn’t make them better, then another shot of tequila till you end up with one- basically the same thing!

In studio was John Basedow today! As a girl- and for all girls who read this- can all agree Basedow looks 13 different kinds of awesome… so definitely fun to look at, and he gave a lot of information that is helpful for men:

looking at your testosterone level, if it is low it will affect your mood- you are more likely to be moody and depressed, you will see weight gain, you will just see the glass as half empty- and it will not be a  temporary thing, it will be most days- it is why you should want your testosterone levels checked multiple times, go to the doctor and just look it cannot hurt.

The level begins to drop around a person’s 20s and 30s and progressively gets worse. Doesn’t hurt more than a prick from the doctor (blood test to check) and you can become aware, it will also make you a more upbeat person.

and just in general don’t look at your day as 24 hours to complete look at each one as an opportunity.

and let’s end on a happy note:

Weird weird weird Friend in need, ok maybe not weird, but definitely something I would never do-
as I am assuming many women wouldn’t.

The guy has a girl he met online, she came to his house, they hung out for a couple of hours and it was clear that they do not really mesh, so he walked her to the door gave her a hug goodbye, he
knew he did not really want to see her again, but then she… well…all of a sudden she…well

she dropped to her knees and gave him a BJ to completion- yea she just dropped to her knees and blew him right there on the doormat, and it gets funnier!

Later she texted saying when are we going to see eachother again? And he answered we aren’t. She later wrote back I knew I shouldn’t have give you a BJ- REALLY?

I just feel like that should have been obvious, it is very unlikely that a guy will think you are a quality, datable girl if you drop to your knees a couple of hours after meeting them- that’s called a one night stand- see how they have one and not multiple in their name… just sayin…

Wanted to leave you guys with what I thought was a funny story.

Alright everyone enjoy your Friday,

I don’t dabble in the 420 festivities but if you do enjoy,

later dudebros

04/19/2012 Show Recap

April 19, 2012 in default, Featured, Main Blog, recaps | Comments

Hello Dudebros!

The show started off great because we had Romany Malco in studio! Now black people you may not know who he is a 100% but you will soon! He is moving on from just being the black guy in 40 Year Old Virgin- he is going to be in the movie Think Like a Man- Romany Malco said that this is a movie for those people who know how to take responsibility- so if you always blame others- well you won’t like this movie, it’s not the movie for you.

Now if  you don’t feel like you are in that place- you have to blame others then Ramony Malco suggests fishing, go anywhere- get a boat and get away. Apparently fishing can really clear your mind. If you listened to the interview you heard how insightful and calm Ramony Malco is he claims it’s from fishing…so…well, hell I am about to go fishing.

Lastly hit up Ramony Malco- twitter, facebook, he says he loves to talk to his fans, he even devotes about two hours to answer everyone, so you should hit him up!

After Ramony Malco we had Jaleel White in studio, there were a couple of minutes in between which is enough time for Rich to explain why he prefers Dick over Sara.

Dick Clark passed away yesterday so Covino and Rich talk about watching Dick Clark every new years. Rich explained that it was his tradition and Sara wanted to have sex right at midnight, but Rich said no! He must watch Dick Clark every New Years, and this year he said- “Sara, we don’t know how much of these he has left”- Looks like Rich made a good choice this year, he got to see Dick Clark, Sara just had to wait a little bit.

Then Jaleel White came in, they covered Steve Urkel with him but tried not to focus too much on it, which was easy when he said he had a 2 1/2 year old girl.

You know who else has a 2.5 year old kid? Covino! There was a lot of excitement (and competition) when Jaleel White and Covino discussed their kids. Jaleel White’s girl is potty trained already, cleans up after herself, and does soccer drills at the park- so when Covino gets home he is going to have to make sure Melody catches up.

We also got a peek at Jaleel White’s ripped abs- he claims that he lost weight (about 13 pounds) from being on Dancing with the Stars, he wanted to show how loose his pants were now- I bet  he just wanted to show how ripped he is now.

Also this continues from the Tuesday conversation with Christie Brinkley- clearly you have to dance to stay fit- everyone sign up for Dance classes so we can fight the Obesity problem in America

It was really a day of guests because GoodEgg Dave (one of the older interns for those knew to the show) stopped by, sadly it was after a really tough day, week, month

He was heading to the studio, was on the train, sitting down and had a shirt (on a hanger) hanging above him, and some older, white guy came to where he was sitting and told him to move the shirt, he said no, the white guy continued to fight and ended up punching GoodEgg in the face.

Now that stinks, I mean first you shouldn’t just punch people, what is wrong with people? Seriously!

Moving on, that was just a shitty thing to happen after, a well, series of unfortunate events (best way to see it) he was let go from his job at the beginning of the month, and a little later his girlfriend (Who he really loves) broke up with him.

At least it does one thing for the listeners of Covino and Rich and readers of this blog, you can feel better about yourself. I mean no matter how shitty your day is- it isn’t likely to get  worse than GoodEgg Dave’s.

Covino went to Mcdonalds (surprisingly it was a health conscious decision), he wanted ice cream and did not want to get from Mr. Softee (no matter how tempting it was), he knew McDonalds had a 100 calorie cone for only 1.00 so seemed like the better choice.

He gives the girl his card to pay, and she tells him it didn’t go through- he was so busy licking his cone, he wasn’t really paying attention so he just handed his card back to her. Then he gets home and finds that his card was charged 1.09 (ice cream with tax- and he didn’t even order tax) twice!

He doesn’t know if he should go back and demand his dollar back or another ice cream cone, I mean they did take a 1.00 from him, but then again- it’s a dollar- how does he look if he goes back for that?

I, personally, think he should go back- asking for a dollar back- that’s weird and well makes you look back, but asking for a ice cream- that he already paid for- makes sense, it doesn’t look as cheap, and you end up happy and with an ice cream cone, clearly a win/win.

Hopefully Covino actually will do it, it would be great for him (free ice cream) and entertaining for everyone else, especially if Rich does as promised and records it.

Lastly, Rich didn’t get to speak too much about this, but it would be an interesting thing to think about:

What’s your chicken?

When Marty Mcfly was called Chicken- he flipped out, so what is the one thing that angers you? What puts you over the edge? For Rich it is someone doubting his athleticism, I actually don’t know what mine is, but everyone should sit back and think about what it is, then remember it, so next time someone uses it- you can realize it and stay calm.

Till next time,

later dudebros!

Hello World…..

 ……..Crazy right.

Happy Hump day everyone!! hope all my dudebros are getting it in now or hopefully later Action packed day, starting off with Spot being more athletic than Rich?  Covino and his wife Layla have a big announcement (No it’s not another child!), Is everyone really out for Covino, and in 8 years working on their show the guys now have to work a Saturday??? Lets kick start this Sweetness NOW!

That’s right guys 8 years strong and their still going! Covino and Rich were broadcasting live at the NFL store today, all while I was basically alone in the studio answering phones and recording the show. In case you don’t know the NFL store is located on 42nd street 6th avenue. Definitely check out the store it’s pretty dope a lot of cool gear and hats as well as memorabilia. Covino started the show right off with him mentioning about customer service and how it basically doesn’t even exist anymore. Picture yourself walking into a clothing store, music shop, or any type of store that deals with customer issues and helping out people. You rarely find someone who is open and honest with you without giving you some sort of guff or just being ignorant and not very helpful at all.

I must say I have to agree with Covino especially with the fact that I work at a retail store (when I’m not on the show) and I always make sure my customer service is up to par. I feel weird and uncomfortable if I’m not honest with a customer there looking at us for help and feed back not another headache. Of course you are going to get the bitchy attitude customers and people in a rush but my little secret I always used is “Kill them with kindness” at the end of the day there just gonna appreciate you for being fully committed to their needs. Even a “Hello, how are you today” goes a loooooong way trust me I know!

I wanna keep this blog tonight short and sweet since you dudebros SHOULD be listening to the show. If not you can always check out the replays on Tuesdays and Thursdays. MAJOR announcement for the Covino family!!! Are you guys ready?? If you haven’t heard the news already (aired first time today) There will be a new show starring on the Style Network called “Empire Girls: Julissa and Adrienne” which features Adrienne Bailon (“Cheetah Girls”) and Julissa Bermudez (“106 & Park”), two fabulous Latina best friends and starlets, in New York City as they strive to conquer the cutthroat world of show business and find love and happiness… by the time they turn 30!

Covino’s wife Layla is not starring in it but she will definitely be in a good majority of the episodes since the three amigos are super tight. For my dudebros be on the look out for the young, talented, GOD of radio (Shout out to Jabba for that comment today hahaha) Steven Covino who will appear in a few episodes as well! I’m sure he doesn’t want to be on it since he is out numbered by the WOMEN, but I know he is excited for his beautiful wife and always supports her in anything she does! I promised Covino I would make the big announcement on the Sweetness tonight and I always keep my word!! Check out the premier of “Empire Girls: Julissa and Adrienne” on June 3rd at 9p.m. Eastern on the Style Network! Big shout out to Layla and Covino wish you guys the best!!

Until the next time dudebro’s…………..Adrienne I always had the biggest crush on you!!! (Covino give a brother the hook up!!)

4/16/12 Show Recap

April 18, 2012 in default, Featured, Main Blog, recaps | Comments

Hello World…..

Ya it’s just one of those Mondays for alllll us dudebros!!! Let’s get this Sweetness started!

Hellooooooo dudebros!! Happy “Grumpy” Monday to you! hope today kicks starts your week off in a right way. Unfortunately for Covino it was a pretty pissed off, I don’t wanna hear it, suck my dick Monday morning. In case you live under a rock…..Today is basically the last day to file for your taxes! If your reading this now……Get off the computer and get that shit done before the IRS kicks down your door. I mean LITERALLY all the games the government plays, that’s definitely one game they DO NOT play.

For Covino it’s been taking him a little longer since he is now married and has a daughter. Apparently he tried to do it sooner but his accountant did have the time to take his papers in. So now last minute he has been in argument with his accountant and wife on how their going to get these papers in on time. Covino was in a pretty fucked up mood this morning and didn’t want to talk much but Rich, Spot, and myself HAD to make sure we cheered him up.

We had a great special guest come on to the show today….Alice Eve! She will be starring in the new movie along side John Cusack “The Raven” (Which by the way she informed us John is actually 6’4!!) The movie if you don’t know is actually inspired by the real Edgar Allen Poe’s poem. If you haven’t seen the trailer definitely a must see! Alice also mentioned what type of music she listens to. Get this……Gucci Mane, Drake and DMX?!? I guess the dark man gets to everyone around the world I love it!! Alice also mentioned how she is NOT I repeat NOT a fan of twitter, she feels like it will just get her and her career into trouble tweeting about opinions and what not which actually makes sense. Especially with her being in the entertainment biz I’m sure her publicist or people she works with would not like that.

To end this blog I have to mention Coachella and the crazy performance by my main man Tupac Amaru Shakur (R.I.P.) Well obviously the man didn’t perform but his “Hologram” did which costs a whooping 10 million dollars just to set up!!! Everyone loved the performance and said it looked just like him, personally I thought it was cool because they actually had a lot of his moves on point. The only thing I do not like about this is once AGAIN all these suckers are making money off him. I mean did his mom get a cut off that? Can we just let the man rest I know he was a huge inspiration not only to my life but to many lives and it’s kind of a spit in the face to him seeing this happen. We all know he is dead and gone….I really don’t think we need a reminder of him or his music through a hologram version of him.

Until the next time dudebros………………..”Keep Your Head Up”
