#360 Cuba Gooding Jr. Called Rich Out!
This week’s episode takes us through wild New York stories, Cuba Gooding Jr., Rich’s relationship with Spot, an airplane fart battle, flirting, old Covino & Rich memories, Candy Corn, football, and plenty of random side conversations that somehow turn into their own stories.The episode kicks off with Daniel and Luis catching up on the weekend before getting into some of the stories surrounding the latest Covino & Rich happenings. The New York trip becomes a major topic, including some absolutely ridiculous stories involving Cuba Gooding Jr., Handsome Gabe, Johnny Damon, and a guy named Mark whose night apparently got a little out of control.Speaking of Cuba Gooding Jr., things get especially interesting when the conversation turns to his interaction with Rich and Spot. Was Rich really blocking Spot? Cuba has his own very strong opinion on the situation, leading to one of the funniest descriptions of Rich we've heard: the infamous "Grade A block."And that's just the beginning.Daniel also shares one of his own blackout stories, leading to a discussion about drinking, passing out, and some of the questionable situations people have found themselves in. Meanwhile, Rich's airplane story takes things in a completely different direction when we hear about an apparent fart-off on a plane. Somehow, this becomes one of the most memorable stories of the episode.The guys also revisit the Mark Twain Diner, talk about Taylor Ham, and dig deeper into the Rich and Spot situation. Eventually, Rich admits that he was flirting with another woman, which opens the door to a whole new conversation involving Sarah and whether Rich may have gotten himself into some trouble.Later in the episode, Daniel and Luis travel down memory lane with some classic Covino & Rich stories, including CRC, Lena, longtime listeners, and people who have rediscovered the show over the years. There are also stories involving Wayne Brady, Rich's birthday, the Patreon community, and Daniel's attempts to get Tommy on the show — only to be left on read.The episode also touches on Greg, who apparently has no problem big-timing Covino & Rich, before the conversation shifts to one of the most important debates of the episode: Candy Corn. Is it actually good? Is it one of the worst Halloween candies ever created? Daniel, Luis, and the live audience weigh in.Toward the end, the conversation turns to football, including the Rams, their struggles, and the ongoing jokes surrounding their kicker. There's also plenty of random news, side conversations, live-chat interaction, shoutouts, and the kind of completely unexpected tangents that have become part of the show.And there's a little milestone to celebrate: Episode 360 means the show is only five episodes away from having an episode for every day of a year.Whether you're here for Covino & Rich, Cuba Gooding Jr., Spot, the New York stories, the ridiculous side conversations, or just the chaos that happens when Daniel and Luis start talking, there's plenty to unpack in Episode 360.03:20 – The Quinceañera Stories Come Out07:40 – Covino & Rich’s Wild New York Trip08:33 – Cuba Gooding Jr. Meets Handsome Gabe09:43 – Who Is “Mark”?11:46 – Daniel’s Blackout Story13:11 – Have You Ever Passed Out Drunk?16:18 – Rich’s Airplane Fart-Off18:23 – The Mark Twain Diner & Taylor Ham20:19 – Was Rich Blocking Spot?20:44 – Cuba Gooding Jr. Calls Rich a “Grade A Block”22:43 – Rich Admits He Was Flirting28:41 – The Lena Story & CRC Memories30:24 – Longtime Listeners & Finding the Show Again32:30 – Why Did Cuba Gooding Jr. Tell Covino to F*** Off?36:29 – Rich’s Birthday & The Patreon Connection38:13 – Did Tommy Hot Chick Us?39:47 – Greg Big-Times Covino & Rich40:38 – The Great Candy Corn Debate54:12 – Crazy News & Wild Animal Stories56:00 – The Rams’ “Thicker Kicker”58:35 – Shoutouts & Episode 360 Wrap-Up
