In this episode of Covino & Rich, guest hosts Dan Beyer and Monse Bolanos dive into a mix of sports commentary, pop culture nostalgia, and humorous personal anecdotes. The highlight centers on Dan Beyer’s triumphant moment at a new Yard House restaurant, where he successfully advocated for switching the TV from the NHL Network to the live Stanley Cup playoff game between the Sabres and Canadiens—a small act of service that left him emotionally fulfilled. The hosts reflect on the importance of sports bar TV programming, criticizing the failure to prioritize live games over generic broadcasts, and propose the idea of a 'sports programming czar' to ensure fans get the right content. They also discuss the expanding NCAA tournament to 76 teams, Hunter Mahan’s transition from PGA Tour to Pistons fandom, and his candid take on Liv Golf’s viability. The episode closes with lighthearted banter about celebrity scandals, including a viral boat footage involving Mike Frable and Diana Rossini, and the absurdity of TMZ’s delayed coverage of long-buried scandals.
A single fan’s insistence on correct TV programming can transform a sports bar experience and create lasting satisfaction.
Sports bars should have a dedicated person responsible for ensuring live games are on screen—especially during major playoffs.
The NCAA tournament expansion to 76 teams is a logistical shift, but not a game-changer in terms of fan engagement.
Liv Golf’s long-term sustainability is questionable, and most players may not want to return to the PGA Tour.
Celebrity scandals often resurface years later, revealing how long the internet remembers—and how TMZ capitalizes on delayed reveals.
Sponsor Ads: Superhuman, Clifford Show, Stuff to Blow Your Mind
Multiple podcast sponsor ads are played, promoting 'Superhuman' (a docuseries on enhanced athletes), 'The Clifford Show' (Dan Beyer’s new podcast), and 'Stuff to Blow Your Mind' (a Star Wars-themed science series). These ads are interspersed with promotional content for other iHeartRadio shows.
Dan’s Triumph at Yard House: The Stanley Cup Playoff Fix
“I got goosebumps guys. I'm telling you. Well done, Dan Byer. Well done. I changed the TV. Great job. In a full restaurant. To the appropriate viewing matter. That is an appropriate game, Monsi. Absolutely.”
The Failure of Sports Bar TV Programming
“If you're not airing games, it shouldn't be on. I don't need to imagine what Moose Johnston is saying about Troy Aikman on a muted football life when there's a Stanley Cup playoff game going on.”
Hunter Mahan on Liv Golf, PGA Tour, and the Future of Golf
“I don't know what he's trying to get out of it. I don't know how – and the real question is, how is Liv going to – and make this like a real product that people are interested in because so far it's just not working, right?”
NCAA Tournament Expansion and NFL/MLB Updates
The hosts briefly cover the NCAA tournament expanding to 76 teams, with 12 opening-round games. They also touch on NFL news, including Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers and Taylor Heineke’s retirement, as well as MLB updates like the Cubs’ nine-game win streak.
