Truth is, I want everybody to love me, not just
the reps.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's time for some NFL trivia.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
But I'm here, I'm here.

Hey, it's up. I feel like the trip to fans
kicking in. You gots are sleepy.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
So?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
What'd you think about the end of that Silver and
Black Friday game?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I thought, of all the eleven and one teams were
the best, and the record proves it. I mean, the
games have been close, but this is the NFL. And yeah,
let's go to Week fourteen. Take on the Chargers. Let's go.
You know a lot of people are saying Patrick that
you know you're not about stats anymore. You're just about winning.
We're all about the w and we got eleven of them,
all right, and you're a forty nine Ers fan, so

(01:17):
I don't want to hear it. Fair enough, five E
all day for you, miss guy.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Now that you guys clinched, I heard you might be
rested somewhat.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
So you ready to sit on that bench rested? And
right now, my whole campaign is to make sure Travis
gets engaged. And actually I'm starting campaign right now. I
want Taylor Swift to ask Travis to get married. Oh yeah,
she should ask camp. All right, let's meet the contestants.
Twenty four cats, get it the cats. By the way,

(01:47):
what a nightmare, I'm sorry to throw out, Patrick, What
a nightmare. If Travis Kelsey was proposed to by Taylor,
how many women would then propose to their dudes and
totally throw I don't know, the whole dating world into
a dizzy. Yeah, I think she should start the trend.
And uh, I think this should happen.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, our own Coveno would probably be proposed to.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I think think about that. You know, I have no
comment on that, but I'll think about it all right.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Twenty four time winner Rich Davis right there in for
fifteen time champion Dan Byer. It's Isaac Lowen cron Isaac.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
How many championships for me? Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:28):

I participated.

Six time winner Spotty Boy and looking to win and

Here are the rules for showtime ma homes NFL trivia.
The first contestant with two correct answers is the champ.
If there's a tie, we have a tie breaker question.
Your name is your buzzer, but you do have to
wait until all three possible answers are read.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
If there's two wrong ones in a row, we move
on to the next question. Are you Let's get it on? Here?
We go round one? All right, Round one? Patrick mahomes
here And as you guys know, I'm a student of
the game. The NFL is founded on September seventeenth of
what year A. Nineteen thirteen, b. Nineteen twenty or c.
Nineteen twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh keV, you said, B, Yes, Wow, Kevin on the
board halfway to a swiggy.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
You know the easiest way to remember that, guys, what
is that Rich? The ninety four to ninety five season
when Steve Young and the Niners won. That was the
seventy five year anniversary patch. So oh, nineteen twenty plus
seventy five years. Then we'll play. Yeah, Rich's good math.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yetting seldom get the answer.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
I know.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
We move on to round two with Kevin on the board.
All right, round two? What was that once quoted saying
about leaving it out on the field? Ay, you have
to question guys who look like their uniforms are still
clean midfield end a game. B. I want people to
know that I'm gonna leave every single thing on the
field or ce only thing I leave out there is

(04:09):
my jersey that goes to the most valuable ref of
the game, so you can bring it home to his
man cave. What was I once quoted saying about leaving
it all out of the field? Anyone? I think he's keV?
Did you? And? Boy? Yeah? Are you sure it's not? Wow?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Clean clean sweep for seeing our man keV in Texas? Congratulations,
Hang on the line, We're gonna mail out one of
these shiny new water bottles to Texas.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Hey, congratulations, Kevin A guys, I'm gonna go see Wicked
is pretty good.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
It worked for Kirk Cursins yesterday, didn't it.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, I know he's a big fan. I've heard all
about it. I'm gonna go see Wicked. Guys, have a
Wicked Monday night, and h I'll be back next week.
By the way, do you think, uh, do you think
Taylor will propose to Travis.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
I don't know, but I'm.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Trying to get that to happen. So Taylor to Travis,
make it happen. Guys, have a great show. Later, guy
gets back into the studio, he's not gonna like to
hear any of this. Yeah, is the rules in there? Yeah,
Patrick mahomes all fired up. I just saw him give
you a high five on his way out. And by
the way, yeah, he's we get along great and I'm

(05:25):
glad he had my back over there. He's always good,
good guest, but you guys can be I know you
have to give up your seat for him, but some
days you guys me, Yeah, I know, but uh, man, Kevin,
I heard Kevin Win. That was awesome too, made that easy,
breezy way to go. I'm not throwing you on the
spot there, buddy boy. But if that trend did happen,
If let's say Taylor Swift did propose to Travis Kelcey,

(05:48):
do you think a lot of guys would be like, No, No,
I don't play those reindeer games. I feel like you're
an old school guy that if your girlfriend proposed to you,
you'd be like, yo, that's sweeten all. But yeah, I
don't play that way. My dad would think of me
as like less of a man or something. Amy. I
don't know about that. I don't know my dad would
have a problem with that. Travis would never live that down. Hey,

(06:11):
I'm not ever. We've seen lots of role reversals. You
should just retire, dude. I wouldn't be surprised if thatight
become a thing.

Speaker 8 (06:19):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
You know, I'm being serious when I say this, and
I'm not trying to overstate by any means the importance
of a Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift. They're two people,
They're just like you and I. But let's be honest,
based on the influence she has with women if she
did propose to Travis kelcey, If you don't think that
would cause some type of vibe of women movement proposing

(06:44):
to men now and that being more commonplace, it would
be a lot of breakups. You ain't kidding to be
a lot of breakups because guys like Cavino would be like, no,
that's what I do. I'm a guy. Wait. Honestly, that's
all part of her master plan, because then there'll be
a lot of breakups. Girl. Guys will be breaking up
with girls. First more album sold, listening to all her
heartbreak songs on. It's all part of her master plan

(07:05):
to take over the world. You heard it here on
The next album is gonna be all about find a
man that would let you propose. Well, hold on, it's
real quick before the update. The reason we even bring
it up is because Josh Allen got engaged over the
weekend to Haley Steinfeld and that put all this online
pressure to Travis Kelcey for him to propose to Taylor Swift.

(07:27):
A lot of your next, Your next, Your next. We're
not trying to be a gossip. It's just the story.
Because you're talking about two star players in the NFL
that are dating celebrity. So again, I said, it was
sort of like if you're dating someone and they're best
friends or sibling gets engaged, everyone starts looking at you.
And because the only other real celebrity couple I could
think of for the most part was Josh Allen and

(07:50):
Haley Steinfeld. That makes sense, right, Let's go to Isaac
Low and cron what's going on? I Low?

Speaker 9 (07:56):
Billboard Magazine just reporting Taylor Swift releasing a new single
today you at halftime of this Sunday Nights Chiefs Chargers game,
entitled My Turn. Swift says it tells the story of
a woman proposing to a man and credits Covenoh and Richie. Yeah,
Fox Sports Radio, congratulations.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Gave us credit. And my first initial thought was, Hey,
that's interesting they're even considering something that sounds so silly
to me. That sounded so silly to me, and I
don't want to say I'm flip flopping, But rich I
heard your thoughts about it, and I heard other people's
thoughts about it. They sort of opened my mind up

(08:37):
to it a little bit more. A little bit. I
think I'll tell you why. I think any change in
sports is good for the most part, because if it stinks,
you could always say, you know what, didn't change our mind?
It didn't work right. It happened with past interference challenges, right, like, yeah,
this is just about the graphics and hockey with the uses.

(09:00):
I liked it with the tail on the pocket. I
don't know who you. I thought it was cool. There
are times where decisions are made and we say, you know,
that didn't work out, and you could always say, all right,
let's let's go back. I am all about the idea
of changing rules and strategies to make it more fun

(09:20):
for the fans. You got kids, Do you know what
their attention span is? It's not getting better all these
little changes to the game. Do you know who's mad
your grandpappy? Yeah, it was when Mickey Mantle playing and
made Ruth and who cares what? They're dying soon that generation.
You know what it feels like though. You know when
you'd play whiffleball or something growing up and you'd have

(09:42):
your own house rules, but you go and play at
someone else's house rules and they have like some ridiculous
role like yeah, but if you hit it off that
tree and you catch it's stilling out, but if you
hit it over the house, it's an automatic grand slam.
And You're like, really, I don't know if I vibe
with these rules. Every rule change that's to me, it's like, wait,
so you're gonna just take someone out of lineup to

(10:03):
throw someone better in, but once per game. At first,
it feels silly, and I'll give credit where it's due. Rich.
I told him about it, and he immediately was excited
about it. But then Rich said he heard our old pal,
mad Dog Russo also talking about it. And you said,
mad Dog found it to be a great idea. That's
so great. He said, yeah, I'm ass oh, when it

(10:25):
cuts to this eye golden, golden, that bad. I'm open
to it. He's open to it. He's open to it.
So when I heard mad Dog's take through Rich, that
opened my eyes and ears up even more because I'm
thinking he's our old colleague and we've known him for
a while. We know how hardcore he is for his
Giants and for baseball and everything else, and like, if

(10:48):
an old school fan like him is open to that,
maybe there is something to it. And then I'm listening
to Rich, like, yeah, we can always move backward on it.
Think about the bigger bases, think about some of the
changes baseball made the pitch. We were not all open
to it right away, and you know what, it worked out.
It was fine, didn't you. In fact, it made the
game quicker and better. In my opinion, you hear anyone

(11:10):
complaining about none the pitch clock now that we're a
year or so deep into it. No, the bigger basis.
The only person I ever hear talk about it is
Rob Parker. Pizza box, pizza boxes. The bases are so
big like pizza boxes, Parker. Yeah. So no one had
a problem with it, but we all thought, oh, this
is gonna be terrible. You can't change America's game tradition.

(11:34):
You can't do that. Yo, can't do it. Let's be
real about it. Baseball needs to step things up to
make things more interesting. But is this a little absurd?
And I'll tell you a little like basket ball, Like,
come on, it sounds dumb. I'll tell you why. Every
rule change that has happened in our lifetime is met
with resistance. That is true, then it happens. It's like

(11:55):
an update on your iPhone, Oh, beau, the emojis now
are different colors. Remember you had the iPhone with the
button and they eliminated the button that. How are we gonna,
wait a minute, the home button? Yeah, you just swipe
up now. Oh god, I'll never get used to that
within like two weeks.

Speaker 10 (12:14):
Hug.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh, I look, you're better. Yeah, but where does this
silliness stop? Because it still feels silly. But I'm not
really hating on it. The rest the way, the rest
of the world is. Danny g told me that Dan
Patrick was totally dumping all over this idea earlier today.
Here I box, big Big Mike was saying they were
coming up with what dumber rules did they make? I'm

(12:35):
telling you in our lifetime, let's go over a couple
so I know the initial reaction, because I had the
same initial reaction was this sounds stupid. Okay, it's really
not that bad when you think about it. Guess what,
there was no replay in sports? How many stupid blown
calls would have been corrected. There was no two point
conversion in the NFL. There's a lot of things they

(12:56):
slid in over the last twenty thirty forty fifty years
that we get used to. Not only do we get
used to it, We're like, oh yeah, we're better for it. Well,
think about baseball. You can't barrel over a catcher. That's
recent history. Pickoffs, they've limited that. These are all things
that we were like, come on, but we rolled with
it because the game evolves.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
There's gotta be a spot where you draw a line
in the sand, though, because where this is gonna get
ridiculous is pre show meeting.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Rich was like a.

Speaker 11 (13:26):
Reverse golden bat you know, because I got the reverse
golden at bat. See is where it's gonna look who's
selling out the Savannah bananas? You know, if you got
a boy, if anyone's got a son, dude, perfect trick shots.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
People love spectacles. We can't expect the younger generation to
have the patience of an old person. Good luck trying.
That's like it's like trying to keep your kid off
of social media and without wanting a phone. Good ethan luck.
You know that that's a great point, Rich And and
I know it sounds goofy. I heard other buzz about

(14:04):
this new potential rule throughout the day and they compared
it to what do we turn it into the Savannah bananas?
Would it be all that bad to get the attention
of young fans does does the public? Do you guys
realize how popular the Savannah bananas are. They're selling out
everywhere they go. It's a game. Let's not make it
seem like what it's supposed to be. Fun, right, they

(14:26):
don't need integrity of judges. And you know, I was
gonna say politicians, but there's lacks of integrity there too.
But yeah, but I'm saying savannah bananas. It appeals to
young people, It appeals pun intended appeals, It appeals to families.
Don't you want to get more excitement involved in baseball,
which traditionally has been boring to a younger fan. So

(14:49):
as silly as it sounds, and I'm standing my ground,
it sounds silly as hell. I'm like, get out of here,
because I'm a baseball fan. It sounds dumb. The more
I hear rich talk about it, the more I hear
bad dog, an old school fan talk about it and
he's open to it, I'm like, oh, maybe I should
be a little open to it. And it doesn't sound. Yeah,
it doesn't sound as bad to me now that I

(15:09):
really think about it than it initially did. Evolution, Baby,
everything in life we evolve. I'll give you a few examples,
since I'm the king of analogies. Move over, cowherd, listen
to these analogies in life. We're in the holiday season right.
Every year, our parents would send out Christmas cards. People

(15:32):
still do them. Then they became personalized. It used to
just be like a snowman on the front, like, oh,
dear friends, uh love Greg, Mariann, Richie, Jimmy and Laurie.
That's my family. You send them out, your parents like
might keep them. Then everyone decided I'm gonna make personalized
ones with my kids now unless it's like a close
family member. You get that in the meilic. Oh look,

(15:56):
Tim and his wife sent me a card. Garbage. No,
he's supposed to hang around the doorway or all one
under the tablecloth or something. I use him as coasters. Yeah,
you know, you think it was them to make fun
of how ugly some of my friend's kids got. You
know the picture that picture of your kids on Santa's lap.
Put it on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok or put it

(16:17):
anywhere X and guess what your friends and family will
be more likely to see it and comment. Then you
just evolution. Evolution. You know by the way, you know
what I really do. I'm serious. It's terrible. But you
always get those Christmas cards from a new parent because
they're excited about their new kid and their new family.
But then as the years go by, every year you

(16:38):
get another one and the kid's cute, and he's cute,
and he's cute, and then he hits like an ugly
stage and that's when I tear it up. And that's
what I talk about. One ugly kids in my house.
I get out of here. So there's a little baby grinch. Listen.
I spend a lot of time at Low's because you
know you're a homeowner, that's like your number one store
or home depot.

Speaker 12 (16:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
My number one problem with Lows, I'm sorry, home depot.
My number one problem with home deepo, I don't know
what Lows is. Number one problem with the depot. I
don't know what. They don't take Apple pay. They don't
the fact that I have. Do you know how many
times I've had to be like, are you I don't
have my wallet on me? I just ran here quick
to eat a fruit. Guy on the corner and his
little cart takes ample pack. The girl Scouts of America

(17:21):
set up outside of supermarkets and they're like, we have
zel Venmo anything you need. Where the girl scouts here
some somehow is square square? Listen. There are times where
I'll see someone even asking for money, like you got
some you got a spare dollar. I'm like, listen, dude,
if I were you, I'd put up a QR code.
I'd give you five bucks or a sandwich. But I

(17:41):
don't have cash on me. What am I gonna do?
We live in a different world. Get with the times,
and that includes sports. I promise you that's true. Even
the Hobos out here in La have Venmo Christmas cards?
H Christmas cards. How you pay for things if you
don't have Apple pay or Venmo good luck? Do you

(18:02):
write checks? I do sometimes, but no for the most part.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
No.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
So explain how you see this work and rich why
you're sold on it, and then explain your flip side rule. Okay,
and Danny G's gonna explain the three options because there's
three options and how this is going to work. This
is so awesome. Give the three options. I'll tell you
which one's best. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
So the way I'm hearing it, when I was reading
what Jason Stark was commenting about it. The three options
they tossed around were you could use this golden at
bat once anytime in the game, option two anytime after
the seventh inning, or option three if it's a tide
game going into extras.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
I like it one time anytime throughout the game. Right,
it's like a challenge, But I think, yeah, like after
seventh inning too, though, I think anytime. Maybe you want
to use it in the third inning. Feel free. And
by the way, when we say the golden at bat,
what this means is if you have runners on second
and third and like Gavin luxes up and you're like, yeah,

(19:01):
he's struggling. Oh Tani, you're up, and he'll still maintain
his position in the batting order. And let's be real
about it, kids, families, sports fans, everybody under the moon
would rather see Otani get another bat than your boy
Will Smith that you love talking about Danny g And
the reality is Danny Well, though it's not fair, they're

(19:23):
getting paid tens of millions of dollars relaxed, but it's
not like a pinch hitter where yeah, he loses his position,
He's still in the game. It's just that at bat. Right.
If that's all of a sudden, it's bases juiced and
the Mets like, oh man, who's up their eighth hitter.
They could be like no, no, no, Francisco Lindor you're
up now.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
The managers have a signal that we all know for
you know, changing the picture. So if this happens, what
would the signal be for the golden bat? Would?

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I think that the manager has to come out of
the dug out like it's Willie Wanka be like I
got the golden I got the golden.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Actual golden ticket in his hand.

Speaker 11 (20:02):
He's cashing in the hit your Aaron Boone on the
top step of the dugun, dancing around with.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
His glam to put the Gene Wilder top hat. Yes,
and then.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
He goes Aaron, Judge Bruce sounds fun, but it sounds
like a circus. It sounds dumb. I think it's amazing.
And I have a counter to this, all right, So
it's the counter. So you have one golden at BATA game.
And if anyone hates this, you just hate fun. Really,
I mean, it's baseball. When this is not like brain surgery.
You are the most fired up a bat. It oh listen.
If you're at a game and all of a sudden,
you're like, man, I would really love to see, uh,

(20:33):
give me a stud player. I would love to see
Raphael Devers with another at bat. Well, it's base is
juiced in the seventh, put him up again. I love
this idea. Now to counter it, though, I think every
team should have one golden at bat ticket, really a
goal ticket with the top hat. Counter it with the blocker. Now,

(20:57):
I think let's say Hadres Dodgers bases are juiced. Otani's on,
Freddie Freeman's on, Mooki Like, let's let's let's say let's
say Mooki's on and Freddy's on, and you got Otani
at the plate. The defense has one skip. It's not

(21:21):
an intentional walk. It's a we're gonna hold up our skip,
like like you're playing Uno or something. What if someone
uses their golden at bat? Can they use the skip?
Is like a game of Uno. You could revert and
then and then Danny the Dodgers connect, Well, you lost
your skip because we're gonna bat him anyway. It's baseball. Now,
this is where it gets corny the greatest. I love it,

(21:43):
I so badly wanted to do that. I want to
implement this in my softball league. I'm gonna propose this tonight.
How about this? How about if the golden ticket works
for the at bat, you try it out spring training,
all Star games, something fun, novelty like that. If it works,
then maybe you could incorporate a skip. I don't know
if if you could skip, I'm sorry skip, I don't

(22:05):
know if you could then have this UNO strategy involved cove.
How would the skip work?

Speaker 3 (22:10):
You as the manager, you get to pick which of
their players goes to bat in that situation.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
But I think it's just a proceeds with the batting
on right right, skipping that batter like, yeah, no, we're
not facing him. But if you want per game, but
let's say that the Marlins are playing the Mets, and
the Mets have the bases loaded. Pete Alonzo's up, but
you know who's on deck, no Iglesias. The Marlins be like,
we're going to use our skip. So it's the reverse
of an intentional walk. Yes, because the batter does not

(22:35):
go to first base, it's skip. So are you really
buying into that? No? No, even the skip. I should
be the commissioner. You know you really buying into that
because this is for real and I do I don't know.
I do hate change, but I'm open to trying this

(22:56):
out for the fun of the Get this, guys, it
is just the game. It really is a game. I
know we take it real serious, but it's just a game.
And if this makes it more fun, and I know
you want to say, what is this Savannah bananas? Guess what,
Savannah bananas are fun. They're exciting, and they're selling out,
and they're intriguing to younger fans. It's a game that
has to evolve, and there's no harm in trying the

(23:20):
golden at bat. I think that's where you stop it
for now, and if it works, then you incorporate some
other things or other goofy ideas. I think, listen, what
did more people watch in anything this year in the
United States and the world, Mike Tyson, Jake Paul So
to pretend that we don't like excitement is fun. It
was novelty and fun and spectacle novelty gimmicks. I think

(23:43):
the one thing the NFL needs to do next year,
if you want to talk about rule changes, We've discussed
this and it's come close with the rules committee with
the NFL. The on site kick has such a terrible
conversion rate. They've talked about the team instead of kicking
off after they score, they would get the ball their

(24:04):
twenty or twenty five yard line, and it's fourth and fifteen.
That's what we need to keep in mind, that these
are games and you're just trying to make the game better.
Guess it's just a game. What was it? I mean,
you could still take it serious, but just like you
take a board game serious, they're just trying to make
it better.

Speaker 11 (24:19):
What it's for?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Little rules? There was a game I played. We played
when we were all with our buddies in Miami, after
some drinks and some fun. Oh telestrations, Yeah, teleustrations. It
does all these fun games. Guess what. I don't play
anymore Monopoly? What are you? Seventy five years old? Ninety?
I love Monopoly? You would, I was, samm You don't
have Instagram? All right? So what the hellopoly? Your kids?
Fox Sports Radio names? Never you think you think my

(24:43):
kids would sit down for Monopoly? I thought you guys
were Monopoly guys. Get out of here. What do you
think about the golden at bat rule that's been proposed.
Your thoughts on it. Does it sound corny? It does
sound a little corny. Could it work? I think it
can hit us up at Covino and Rinch or call us.
Now we're talking about this golden at bat rule that

(25:04):
they're throwing around today. I love it, and I'm being said,
I'm being I just want everyone to questions though. I
want everyone to know I'm one hundred percent serious when
I say I love it, love it. I love it.
I love it. I love it. I love it like
Lyle love it. I love this because of it, like
John love. It's so true, so true, I think, and
I'm reading all the benefits. That's sports. That's the ticket,

(25:25):
the golden ticket. That's the ticket. I think sports is
about fun. I said this in the hallway during the
break and go, guys, what's sports fun? Right? Like, the
same people that would resist any fun rule change are
probably the type of people that don't like our show
because we bring.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
The boom lead to like a Harlem Globetrotter's game. No, yeah,
of course, yeah, you don't want it to get out
of hand, dude. It's not twenty seven at bats in
a nine inning game. One time in the game, you
could elect to put your best hitter in for someone
else in a key spot. And I said to Cavino
during the commercial, I said, listen, I want you to
ain't a picture.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Close your eyes for a second. Okay, it's Dodger Stadium
tie game against the Padres, no peaky bottom of the knife,
and all of a sudden, Dave Roberts comes to the
top step of the dugout fanfare starts playing. He reaches
into his back pocket Golden outs, and it sort of

(26:22):
music is mister perfect theme from wrestling. Remember that, oh
m dum, I picture like a two thousand and one
space out of sea, but imagine doom doom, doom doom.
Don't imagine how electric lots of timpany how electric would

(26:43):
Dodger Stadium be in that moment. Yeah, it would go
wild if he used it to take out some lame
mask banner to throw Otani in there, or you know,
you take out every team's got a star dude to
reverse it. At San Diego, you put machado or tattoos
up in a key spot. It's only fun. So here's
my question. Though, I heard Ben Erlander talking today that

(27:05):
with this rule, you choose your golden hitter before the game,
so you're choosing your best That's the way he sort
of presented it. I think it should be like an
impromptu decision like that.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Go with that.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
They've got to figure all these things out. Danny g
said there's three different variations of how they would use it.
But my understanding when Ben was talking about it from
MLB Network was that Aaron Judge is like, you're he's
your golden at bat, and you could use him whenever
you want. You're saying when you hand in the lineup
part at the beginning of the game, okay, And then
you know, if you're thinking this sounds ridiculous, as oh,

(27:44):
it's too much, you don't you could always pitch around
this golden at bat, can't you. I mean, not only
that worst case scenario you walk a run in or
you walk them, but you're just handling it like a
regular at bat. I sort of negates it to some degree.
I genuinely think it's just fun. What's up, Dan Bayer, guys.
I appreciate the showmanship of it all is.

Speaker 10 (28:05):
I felt that coaches challenges in the NBA and even
the in the NFL should have some sort of drama,
like a special card that's to be played and you
take to the scores desk. How about this golden batter
must wear gold helmet, yes.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Or golden batting gloves. So if there's gotta be something
yet gold.

Speaker 10 (28:25):
Or just or your on field play is the gold
fitted cap that's different than everyone else. To show how
special you have a.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Gold crown, then a crown on top of the helmet.

Speaker 10 (28:38):
Don't be ridiculous, guys, this is I mean seriously, wait,
so you you do not like this or you do?
I don't really care to be honest with you. I
don't think that it's really in the spirit. I don't
think that you If I was to side one way,
I would say that this is not an option. But
I don't mind them trying to try to look at
something different.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
But let's not act like theatrics aren't part of it.
Does every head coach in the NFL need to throw
the red challenge flag? They could just tell the ref
but there is something dramatic about throwing or about Bill
Belichick would just drop it like there is theatric. So
let's not pretend this doesn't happen. And we're talking about
the NBA ratings are down, Danny G you're during the break,
you were saying, you're watching sequences now where they're going

(29:18):
back and forth six possessions and are it's like three point,
three point or three pointer. Yeah, there's a lot of debate.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
We talked about it on the show last week of
why NBA ratings are low right now. And there's some
diehard NBA fans who they're saying this is their first
season where they're not tuned in for as many games
as they would normally watch. I'm thinking, and I know
this is the last Tuesday for qualifying for NBA Cup.
What if in the Cup games Tuesday and Fridays, in
the fourth quarter you put a five point spot out

(29:45):
there on the court that's almost mid court.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
You know what, Danny, this is genius because it doesn't
in like a tournament already have special courts. Dude, it
doesn't apply to the regular season. So the traditionals would
be like, all right, if you said, just during the
NBA Cup games there was a four let's forget the five,
a four point shot and it was like five to
ten feet back from the three pointer, that's a start

(30:09):
of something. I think that could work for especially for
the tournament.

Speaker 10 (30:12):
How about that five Oh I'm sorry, Dangle, Well that's
that's okay. Did you have a joke?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Because I have a legit go ahead with the five
point line? Is actually a decal of Caitlin Clark's face
just on the court. How about that? So at the
logo three, you interrupted Dan Bayer for that I did, yeah,
But Dan, on with your sirius business here.

Speaker 10 (30:31):
I've brought up this proposal with field goals somewhat tongue
in cheek, but there is a reality to it. How
about in the NBA Cup you switch it. Three point
shots are two pointers, two point shots are three pointers.
Then see how your game changes. So now you're going
to the basket and you're not just doing launch.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know that launch It balance things out. The actual
the actual.

Speaker 10 (30:54):
Goal of trying to get as close to the goal
as you can to score the maximum amount of points and.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Wide open three would now be two, so it's a
little easier, But you got to get in the paint
if you want to throw the rests, which should really
be the ultimate goal.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
I've said this about field goals in terms of if
you were to make a change the closer you get
to the goal line, the more that field goals should be, right,
because isn't the goal of trying to drive down and
score and move the football? So instead of just being like,
we'll just kick this sixty yard er, which is the
same as a twenty yarder.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Right, if you get to the if you get to
the four yard line, it's like fourth and goal and
you're like, oh, damn it, maybe that's four points instead
of the Yeah, you get four.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Look at look at all the way that you've traveled
down the field already, and how about this?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
How about this dB that's true. I never thought of
it that way. That's a good point inside the red zone,
it's four point.

Speaker 10 (31:42):
Yes, here we go. You're down by three. You guess what,
You're not going to settle for the field goal. We're
going to try to get inside the twenty to go
for the win.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
And all of these things sound a little funny because
it's new. It may come across a little goofy, but
that's how every rule changed to out in history. Has yeah,
has begun and how and that's how it fell, and
then we got used to it, and that's just become
the game. Wait, you're gonna you're gonna a date on
the internet. That's crazy. Now, look how everyone meets. Now

(32:10):
about Uber, You're gonna get in a car with a stranger,
You're like, yeah, didn't we do that with regular taxis? Yeah,
but they're taxis. These are just people. And now we're
in ubers and we don't know who they are and
we get in there with no problem. But at first
it sounded weird. Bottled water so golden at bat and
when you throw in the the theatric stritch like, like

(32:32):
Dan Bayer said, music moment, they're throwing in their best hitter.
I think that's kind of cool. Gold batting gloves. Yeah,
and it sounded corny to me, but I'm buying into it. Guys,
who do you think was the top five athletes this year?
And what were the top five stories that we talked about?
If we did a Spotify Unwrapped Sports version, think about it,

(32:56):
because Danny g during our precial meeting, you did point
out when people do these lists sometimes they have a
short memory and they forget that it's a long year.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Yeah, they're only thinking about the last couple, like the
last few moments you talk about.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
In February and March, and I think, if you're going
to talk about the five stories we've talked about in
the past twelve months, the five stories are tough. The
five athletes, I think are simple. It's the first five
that came to mind. Surprisingly, there's a big name that
didn't make the list. I think, I think, God, let's

(33:27):
go number five. This is for me, Okay, according to me,
this is what I think.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Number five.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I love when we make it like a rich D's.
You know what I changed my answer? How you can't
change a countdown mid countdown? Has Spider Harrison had ever
done that? Because I know what you're gonna say, because
if I say Aaron joking because you're a Yankees guy
and it really wasn't about him this year, even though
he won the MVP. So I'm going number five. I

(33:57):
was gonna leave him off. I'm leaving Judge off number five.
Lebron James. He did make the list because the whole
Bronny story was huge before that, the Olympics and the Olympics, yeah,
and the in season tournament everything else. Like Lebron James
still makes the list. I was gonna leave him off.
But you know what, Judge doesn't make the list. Okay,
can I give you number four ahead? Number four went

(34:21):
through a divorce, had a roast, became an announcer. We're forgetting.
We talked a lot about Tom Brady. All right, I
disagree with that, but I do, really I do. But
I'll keep him on there. Should you both give your
fives and your fours? So on and so forth? No,
I like to make it really awkward. You have your list,

(34:41):
don't you. I don't think we have time for that.
All right, got about ninety seconds here. I hate to
say it, Aaron Rodgers still makes the list.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, and I pointed that out to you guys. How
many pre show meetings have we had where I beg
you not to talk mbo?

Speaker 1 (34:54):
She begs us not to bring up Aaron Rodgers because
he's such a big story all the time. Sick of
hearing about it.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I mean it's just there's so many Jets storylines, the
hard knock stuff like, I mean everything, Aaron Rodgers, for sure,
number two, Number three. You skipped umber three, didn't you?
You did five and four? Oh? No, okay, am I
am I off here? We did Brady? No, wait, you did? Judge.

(35:24):
Judge was off, just off, Oh Judge, n I did wait.
I was saying, I want you to do each of
your list. I was saying, you know what, this is
one of those rare moments. I think you're right. When
we come back, Covino and I have our own top five,
oh Man, Spotify unwrapped Athletes of twenty twenty four. We're

(35:44):
gonna get to mid week major it spot a lot
of really cool stories, uh that are in the world
of pop culture and sports. We'll get to all those,
and of course some NFL. But next, think about it,
the top five athletes and the top five stories. How
about the two of you think about it? I good, good,
jump in well, then I'm out at you have a

(36:05):
good day. We got a hard and rich Next, oh man,
these are my top five, with no interruptions from rich.
Number five athletes. Number five, I said, Fellows, count Lebron James.
I was gonna put Judge in her. I took him out,
Lebron James. How noble of you.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Number four.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Aaron Rodgers. Number three, Number three Travis Kelcey makes sense.
Uh huh uh huh. Number two show Hey Otani fifty
to fifty also a big story, and number one. I

(36:50):
would say, you're gonna love this. Number one Caitlin Clark. Okay,
come on, how could she not be dude, she took
the world by storm. So those are my top five athletes,
my top five stories. Now this is your own spotifyer
five rapped in your mind? Right, Like who you talked
about the most?

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, in my opinion, everyone's gonna have
like their own. That's the beauty of the Spotify rapped
or whatever. Right, everybody has their own. Yeah, Like you
might say, oh wow, I didn't realize how much Ed
Sheer and I listened to exactly. But you know what,
before I give you a tough stories, rich, let me
hear your top five athletes. My top five athletes based
on five. What I feel that we talked about the
most on the show. Number five Tom Brady, between the roast,

(37:35):
the announcing that's just oh, TV twelve is shirt off,
the divorce, Giselle's having a baby. There was a million
Tom Brady stories, So I think Tom Brady's definitely if
we did have a sports Spotify rapped. Number four.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Number four.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 11 (37:55):
I mean every day I felt like Danny G's like
stopping already, so number four.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Aaron Rodgers, number three, Mike tyf between the fight, the cancelation,
the fight again, Tyson trivia. He's always on our mind
on this show. We talk a lot of Mike Tyson.
In fact, we have some pretty cool Mike Tyson news
later on in the show. So we have Mike Tyson
at number three, number two, number two, show Hey Otani,

(38:28):
the Battle of Aaron Judge, the gambling story. Was he involved?
Was he not? The world series gambling story and his
numbers this year he might be the number one and
number one, number one Travis Kelcey, he was just still everywhere.
Travis Kelcey by far number one. Do you have Kaitlyn

(38:48):
Clark on you? I de not because I have Kitlyn Clark.
I didn't kill number zero sex. I didn't care much
to talk about her. Are you talking about this summer?
You guys did it and I rolled my okay, she
was googled billions of times, sep about you as far
as talked about story, right, because when you get your
Spotify wrapped or there's all different sections, right, So we're

(39:12):
making up our own talked about story. I'm going with
the Brady Roast because it was a big deal at
one point.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Number five.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Number four, I'm going with Juan Soto and where he
ends up and the whole Sodo storyline. I'm actually throwing
him in there still unfolded. Number three, Taylor and Travis
at number three, I know, roll your eyes. That's the story.
Number two, sho hel Tani fifty to fifty. That's what

(39:44):
I had down the fifty to fifty. Did it outweigh
Aaron Judge, all the other stuff, but sho Heo Tani
number two, number one. The Mike Tyson storyline that she
was number one for me. I'm not putting him as
like a top athlete. He had an exhibition fight. But
as far as storyline, it dragged out, talked about it
leading up to it, then it got postponed. We dragged
it out again and talked about it, talked about it afterward.

(40:05):
It just garnered so much conversation here on the show.
So as far as talk about story as my number one,
but as far as athlete Jake Paul Tyson, they're not
making the top five for me, But again that's the
beauty of it. It's going to be different for everybody.
That's my top five stories. Talked about stories, Rich what
are your top five? And again Fox Sports Radio Nation agree, disagree?

(40:27):
What are we forgetting? You know, add to your own,
think about your own Danny g Any thoughts on what
you've heard so far. No, I like your storyline so far.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
The one that came to mind for me because here
and there, over a couple of weeks, we'll health throughout
the baseball season. In fact, we talked about MLB in
Oakland and sports in Oakland in general.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
That was a big storyline. That was a big storyline
for now my top five, number five storylines. Now, again,
this is what I feel in my heart. We talked about.
This could be totally wrong. Remember the wrapped It's very personalized,
so it makes sense. Yeah, I mean I feel like
ray Gun the Breakdancer. I'm kidding. That is not that
is not on my list. And you know what missed

(41:08):
my list? Travis and Taylor. I really feel like that
was more last year. While we did touch on it
a lot, the whole swear jar every time we said
their name, that was twenty twenty three, it was because
it culminated with it culminated with the Super Bowl January.
Things starting over with the Twoe season. We started the
year with yes, so it's still big, but I'm thinking

(41:30):
it's top five high. Number five on what I feel like,
we touched on the most father son stuff Lebron, Bronni, Griffy,
Griffy Jr. We talked a lot about Lebron and day
Jane Big Justice. He said it. That's what I'm saying,
favorite father and son. Number four. I think number four again,
this is what we talk about on the show. My

(41:52):
fascination with what the Niners need to do with Brock
party because it goes back to last year, like is
pretty awesome? Is he is the an elite guy? Honestly?
Did you bring up the forty nine ers?

Speaker 3 (42:01):
So I feel like bro it started with you driving
alone through the desert, shouting, raising your fist at the heavens.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Birdey and I drove home after the super Bowl all
off season, It's like party Brudy so Rock Purty definitely
Number four for me. Number three if I had my
own Spotify rapped when I think we talked about most
on the show. Number three. When it comes to baseball,
Otani and Judge, there was a lot of there's a
lot of who's better, Who's the MVP. They're chasing records

(42:31):
fifty to fifty Judge and there was a time of
the year where Judge was unstoppable. And remember the postseason
was so exciting for this show in particular two because
you had Danny G's Dodgers, the Yankees, the Mets. It
was It was just a great postseason and the only
one that really made it to both my lists. Number two,
number two Mike Tyson, Jake Paul. I think we exhausted

(42:53):
the hell out of that more than any other show
on Fox, at ESPN, CBS. We both have that at
number one. No, that's number two for me. Oh, it's
number two. I really think that it was such a
story that was in our wheelhouse of pop culture sports,
the reminiscing of the nostalgia of Mike Tyson and Jake
Paul being an unlikable but yet awesome infunciple couldn't care
less about him and Jay stew and the Go Leep Show.

(43:16):
So your number one is what then? Number one? Green
Bay College Basketball? No? Number one? What number one? The Mets,
Magic Grimace Lindor For me that I was obsessed for
a good month and a half with the Mets were
Grimace as no dude, listen as Jerry Seinfeld was on

(43:41):
w f AN in New York yesterday and Seinfeld, Hey,
you know, I'm a Mets fan, and Seinfeld brought up
an interesting point. Short of winning a World Series, the
Mets really gave their fans arguably the most magical season
you could give a fan base with. Actually agree with that,
without special, without winning it all, without winning it all,
the Mets gave that fan base more to cheer about

(44:06):
other than the championship. It really was magical. So I
forge so many amazing, like the amazing Mets moments this
year for your team. So I agree with that, But
can we all agree In the room between Danny g
I was Sam Spotty, me you Dan Byer, what do
you think as a show we talked about the most
on Kavene on Wretch. Do you think it was Aaron Rodgers?

(44:28):
Do you think it was I wish we had those,
Travis and Taylor. Do you think it was Mike Tyson?

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Danny Well, Tyson was a big deal on our show,
but also Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Neither of you mentioned. I'm Mahome.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, He's a staple on the show and a big
storyline for the NFL leading into the season.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Caleb Williams, Yeah, we did talk a lot of when
you get your Spotify rapped. And by the way, I
don't care what streaming service you use or where you
get this from, right, there's always different little categories. And
it was like your longest streak was I listened to
Des Rocks ten days in a row. Sad Do you
think there was a streak of we talked about Patrick
Mahomes for like ten days straight on every show, Like

(45:08):
I think Tyson would be on that list for sure.
Aaron Judge and Show Hey, they'd be on that I
bet we talked about them for weeks straight. You know,
you know who would have a great perspective because he
works not only you know, with our show every day
and he's here a lot of the day, has his
own show. Dan Byer dB you're here every day, you
do your own show, a respected man here at Fox

(45:29):
Sports Radio. You hear are highly respective, You're with Doug Gottlieb.
You're all over the place. When you think of Cavino
writch for real, like what silly storyline? Do you feel
like we exhausted?

Speaker 10 (45:39):
I'm surprised. Do you guys think that you talked about
Tyson as much as he did. I think it's because
it's recent, because the fight had happened.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Okay, very possible.

Speaker 10 (45:46):
I think that your number one topic if I'm making
it a combo, because I do think it's real. It's
New York baseball. Not only was it the Mets push,
but it was even before that in April and May
when they stunk. Rich was not happy with him, right,
he was quick. If you know, you've talked about their
bullpen throughout the summer, and then when you think.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Of the Clay Holmes's love for Clay Holmes now there
saying he might start for the Mets.

Speaker 10 (46:12):
You know, I had the Aaron Judge versus Kaitlyn Clark popularity,
you know. Yeah, that was a big That was a
big one, you know, and you guys talked about that.
But obviously through the month of October it was New
York baseball, and so I would say, so, I can't
just say Yankees and Mets because of both of your
fandoms and how far they went, but I would think

(46:33):
that would be number one.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, dB, I think your hottest topic as a host
and as an anchor and everything you brought that Aaron
Judge Caitlin Clark topic to life that every other show
on the network was talking about that because of you.

Speaker 10 (46:44):
It was almost just by accident, because Jason Stewart made
the comment that when Judge was meeting Kitlin Clark that
it was a problem for Major League Baseball that Clark
was the more popular player, and I said, hold on,
a secon Judge is way more popular, and then the
entire channel talked about.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, didn't I was to say,
I actually, uh have an aneurism turn that converside hitch
I survived somehow. By the way, Rich, I know why
you think Home Alone two is better than Home Alone one,
because you guys are so New York City. Yeah, lost
in New York, New York Court. Of course you don't
like the homeless bird lady. I actually love the pigeon
Peters more. Dan Bire makes a great point to like

(47:23):
because he's there listening to us b S every day.
New York Baseball definitely took up a lot of the show.
But the postseason was great, Like I don't I don't
want to think that we're so Yankees met, but it
was a great season. There was reason to talk about it,
talk about it.

Speaker 10 (47:39):
I remember Rich complaining about April and May and how
the Mets were when they didn't have any expectations and
then roller coaster. Yeah, and then everything switched.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
So that's our Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio wrapped.
It's number two. Uh, Danny G's unrealistic greaters expectations.

Speaker 10 (47:59):
Yeah, looking pretty good.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Return to the Super Bowl. Number one for me was
Gardner Minshew's most number. Man. That's so funny. So you
know what, we just want you to think about yours
because there is no stat there's no raft, But what
were your favorite storylines? What do you think it would
say about you? What are those stories? What are those
athletes for you? Man? I've seen a lot of feedback

(48:31):
of Danny G. Hit the nail on the head with
the word entitlement in the NBA. Oh, people love that
way for you and King James being the league leader
of entitlement. No, he's put a lot in there. Come on,
he's been in the league such a long time. I'm
just reading feedback. Deserve some thanks for all your feedback
at Covino and Rich. We're gonna get to Andy Lee.

(48:55):
Shout out to Lynn and Idaho. Thank you, guys for
hanging out with us. Fox Sports Radio with Covino and
Rich live from the tire rack dot Com studio. It's
holiday party Thursday. Yeah, so some of our colleagues gonna
be buzzing tonight. We're gonna come back with some stories tomorrow. Remember,
not the time to ask your boss for a raise drunk? Yeah,

(49:15):
come on, don't have some kouf. Don't flirt with the
random married person you work with, at least you know,
not in front of people. Dip away. Yeah, gotta be
big in discreets and uh, let's say two quick NBA
phone calls that I want to talk a bunch of NFL.
We got a big one tonight. Not the party packers, Lions,

(49:36):
very telling, Uh Andy and Rhode Island. What's up, buddy?
The ratings in the NBA are down. Cavino started the
show by saying he blames it all on Steph Curry
kind of yeah in a way, Yes, what's up? Andy? Hey,
what's up? We're good?

Speaker 6 (49:51):
A hey?

Speaker 8 (49:53):
The way I look at it, guys, all these athletes
as want to treat jerseys after after game. They want
to be friends outside of this.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
When survivories wait's heat us at get Where's where's Petro
throwing Don Zimmer on the ground? Andy? You know you
make a good point. And here's why, right, here's why.
This is the the art of competition is the world
of sports, where the whole point is to win, right,
And even in our industry, I don't really I'm not

(50:28):
that close with other shows on other channels. Why I
want to be better than them trying to beat them? Denny, Well,
the world we're not in the world of competing in
sports where there's a winner and a loser. Yeah, and
even has burner accounts where he comments on their shows. Honestly,
after those other shows, that's how I feel, deep down inside.
I feel here Coavino, and I'll tell you why you're

(50:49):
supposed to be competing, Denny. When we came up in radio,
I don't want this as hell like old guy radio.
But when we came up the ranks, you weren't paling
around what the competing radio stations so right, the pop
radio station was not friends with the hip hop radio station.
The hip hop radio station didn't like the rock radio station,
and no one really now they're all in the same

(51:10):
iHeart or Odyssey building like, and they're all pals. Back
in the day, I worked at Z one hundred in
New York and again Rich just as sports though, which
is which makes it worse. When I was on Z
one hundred, which is a big pop station in New York,
you think I cared about Kate tu In Hot ninety
seven and all the other stations. No way, you were
trying to beat them. You know who changes know who
is the biggest whimp of all all the Jimmy late

(51:33):
night hosts. Because Leno and Letterman hated each other. They
all go on each other's shows like, hey, Jimmy, here, Jimmy. Hey,
all the folon Kimmel Cordon. They're all browing it up.
And guess what. All this is not the world of
sports and competition, you know, so when you see this
in the world of sports, it's even worse, is the point.
So Andy, I get you Lee, Alaska Lee, wrap it

(51:57):
up and then we'll go old school. It's out, buddy.

Speaker 6 (51:59):
Hi there, I have a suggestion for your four four
point play and your golden bat in the NBA. In fact,
you can put it in the NFL too, all right,
Paint the box on the floor or on the stadium
and if you hit them, if you shoot and make
the bucket from the box wherever they paint it, you
can move it. Every four quarters you get the four points.

(52:19):
Take a person off the bench and they shoot and
make it from the painted spot the square on the floor,
they get five points.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Wow, this is too complex. But you know what I
know he's comparing to like at the home run derby.
It's like if you hit a certain target or the
money ball back of the day. Hey, it's all silly,
but it's still a game. Let's do we do it
every Thursday. Win fifty hits, there's a suit. Ye. What
we're gonna do is go back back into time.

Speaker 5 (52:49):
Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.
That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic
and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Yeah, this is cool. We want to get everybody involved.
We do it every Thursday, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. Super producer Danny g sent us a story
about che Cheese, the very famous text mex food chain.
I think most of us remember growing up iche Cheese.

(53:19):
I grew up on Long Island, where there's no such
thing as good Mexican food. I knew Taco Bell and
then it was like, oh wait, the restaurant che Cheese,
New York, not known for their Mexican food, but I
remember Chichi chi Cheese does have another meaning in certain marios.
But it's a tex mex restaurant that Here's what I
didn't know. I didn't know why it closed down. I

(53:40):
didn't know that either until I saw this story. It
closed down following a hepatitis A outbreak two decades ago.
But get this set to relaunch next year. The founder's
son said, you know what, I believe in che Cheese
and I'm bringing it back. And for the nostalgic reasons,

(54:01):
I kind of like that. I missed the days of
going to like a TGI Friday's or you know, just
that local chain, and Chee Cheese would be a fun
spot to go visit. Remember on the Border was another
Mexican spot, or like a Jose Tahas. I think Jose
Tahas is still around. On the Border came and went,
but Chee Cheese is coming back. With that being said,

(54:23):
what are some other restaurants, maybe other stores that you
think should make a comeback. I'll tell you I'll tell
you one coming up that would not fly today, but
I'll throw one out there now, goad bring back the Sizzler?
Could we bring back the Sizzler? Everybody? The tex mex
restaurant Chee Cheese that we grew up with is coming back.

(54:45):
It closed down. What a decade ago? Funny two decades ago,
two decades ago. Dang from a hepatitis a out break.
Last time you went to Chi Cheese you got a startech,
I guess. So, yeah, so you paged your friends that
you were there at. What are some other chains, food chains,
maybe just the store stores, anything you know that should

(55:07):
make a comeback, that you really wish would make a comeback.
I just want to hear you spit out some nonsense,
like you know, I really miss it. It would be great.
And by the way, I mentioned on the border West
and Vegas said, now there's still one in Vegas. But yes,
sometimes Cove there'll be like one last yeah, like the
last Blockbuster exactly like.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Here in southern California, Pioneer Chicken. There's one left in
the heart.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Of La Okay. So my answer though, and I say
this because I worked there and I would tell people, yeah, whatever, yeah,
F you two, I'm gonna be a radio star. All right.
I'm gonna leave this place F you and you have
this guy. This guy's cool. I'm out of here. I'm
gonna go do radio people. Yeah whatever, dude. Before I
got into radio, I worked at Bennigan's and I worked

(55:52):
at Bennigans for a while, but I believed in ben Against.
Bennigans was like Applebee's or Chili's us for your sampler, platter, sampler.
The best thing to Benigans was definitely the turkey turkey.
It was turkey on a pretzel roll. It was so good.
That dressing, the rubin the you know, it was big.

(56:12):
The health club chicken platter, their honey mustard was bomb.
I worked there for a long time. I bartended there.
I would love because I like that mid level restaurant.
You don't have to get all dressed up. You weren't
spending that much money. You're get a decent bang for
your buck. Had a nice bar. I had a huge
bart Benigans. They did like a world tour. They had

(56:33):
over one hundred beers and you could if you tried
one Offever, you get your name on the plaque. Right,
it sounds like me you're trying to bring it back
right now, dude, I wish it did make it costs.
I give investors, well, you know how text Steve Kobe.
A lot of times people work at places and they
tell you how much they hate it. I worked there,
and I'm telling you it was a great place and
it was a fun time. I wish Benigans made a comeback.

(56:54):
And the movie was in the name of Waiting. Waiting
Wait based their movie on Bennigans. They called the Shenanigans
in the movie. So Bennigans was great. I wish you
made a come back. And I don't want your answer
to be something bunk, like I wish Woolworth would come back.
Do you really wish Woolworth would come back? Or coldor

(57:16):
like I mean oury buddy Sean Weller, who listens on
the iHeart app out here in La Sean said, Danny
g might remember, because I don't. He goes Numeral Numeral
Uno pizza. Oh, Deep Dish pizza, Like there was a
Deep Dish spot. There's a couple left, but they used
to be everywhere like an old school blaze, that style
of that place, but it was Deep Dish. Yeah, it's

(57:36):
gonna be different city to city. But hey, if you
say so, I believe you. I said Sizzler before. Yeah,
I got one that I know. There's still a couple left.
But they used to be everywhere. Maybe not on the
West coast or Midwest. But there was an ice cream place,
but it was a restaurant. Also Friendlies. Oh yeah, the Fribble,
the fribball, the ice cream Sunday. You would get the kids,
you would get the ice cream Sunday. Most they have Friendlies.

(57:59):
Friendly was big, but not as many as there used
to be. So yeah, I'd like to see it come back.
And that was great. They had great dessert there. But
you also tease us, he said, there's one. There's one
that won't test to tell you, I got the one
that won't stand the test of time, all right, but
another truck stop, one that you might say, it's like
one or two left. I used to love, no joke.

(58:20):
They're bacon, cheeseburger, their chicken, their salad bar Roy Rogers.
I used to love their nuggets and their sweet and
sour sounds. What about their fick thing I used to
call the fix. I'm with rich on the Roy Rogers

(58:41):
good fried chicken. I wish they made did make a
comeback on the East coast. Did you guys have a
n W root beer? Yes, yeah, but the place were dope. Yeah,
but yeah, like Rich said, they all started disappearing. I
think there's one less left out near Palm Springs, all right,
So if you could bring one thing back restaurants store
would be dan Byer.

Speaker 10 (59:01):
I was just gonna say to Ann w. There's still
a bunch of them in the Midwest. It's all. Yeah,
that are the drive up window that we used to
be accustomed to about forty years like, they're still around.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Yeah, but they are still around. Anything come to mind
for you or no, when you think back.

Speaker 10 (59:16):
Just along those lines if you want to throw anw
like I love Long John silvers, and there's just not
as many of them around anymore. There's different parts of
the country there are, but out here they've completely disappeared.
You used to even have the half and half of
a Long John Silver's in a KFC. No more now
on the West coast.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
That's why when you do see those few that remain,
you got to stop in for nostalgic reasons, Like you know,
when you come out here to La and Burbank, there's
a Bob's Big Boy. It's probably one of the only
ones around. Yeah, so it's sort of novelty. You know
what else?

Speaker 3 (59:49):
Burbank, California has an Orange Julius Yeah, exactly, so many
of those, and it used to be at.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Every mall growing up in Orange Julius. So you see
when you gotta stop. But if you could bring it
back rich before we go to the phone calls eight
seven seven ninety nine one Fox, which is the one
that wouldn't work today, you said, I think a firm
top three. I'm trying to figure out what three is.
But Roy Rogers and Bennegan's I think our top level. Yeah,
I like those answers. There was a place we would

(01:00:18):
go with my family and you weighed yourself. It was
a scale. I know you're talking. I mean you paid
what you wait, kids paid what they wait. Yeah, it
was like all right, Like you know how Sizzler would
be like, hey, come in with your kids, eat for free,
and you buy an eight dollars steak. Back in the day,
there was a place called the Ground Round. Wait did

(01:00:40):
a don'ts pay what they weigh too? Though, I remember
kids do. But we would oh, I was Sam because
I was a kid ground Round. I remember the ground
Round for short. It was one of my hometown I remember,
and I say this kindly. Let's just say one of
my siblings was a little chubby and we used to
tease tease them like, hey, not not a group A
great deal for mom and dead. Yeah, nobody wants to

(01:01:02):
get weighed before they go to eating an odd thing,
so that your whole campaign was pay what you went.
You'd walk in. They'd be like the adult meal. Just
keep in mind this is the eighties and nineties, so
it'll be like seven dollars for your parents to get
like a steak and potatoes. Your your parents paid. Your
kids would get on a scale and let's say your
kid weighed one hundred and nine pounds. Would be a

(01:01:23):
dollar nine for your kid, and they'd write it down
that is damaging. In twenty twenty four, imagine weighing your
kids like, oh my god, therapist, what do you do?
You crushed her self esteem? But you got a nice
burger out of it. Are you sure I can eat dead?
So I got two more, but I'm gonna save them
and go to the phone calls. But two more that
I want to bring back in tribute an honor to

(01:01:44):
Chee Cheese that's making a comeback. Let's go to the phones.
Eighty seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Covino and Rich
want to start with Jack Jack in La. What's up, jerk,
You're on Cavino and Rich.

Speaker 8 (01:01:54):
Oh my god, that's so funny because my brother's a
little husky. Right, so I'm over here dying.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Sorry, Yeah, don't bring your brother at the ground round.

Speaker 8 (01:02:03):
And then used to be a place in Sokow called
Pup and Taco, right, It did tacos and hot dogs.
It used to be super great.

Speaker 6 (01:02:11):
Yeah, they died.

Speaker 4 (01:02:12):
Out in the It was a chain.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Yeah, at least here on the West Side. It was
you know, some change again, don't even last long. Like
there was a point in New York City where Ranch
one Chicken was the biggest thing in New York City.
There's millions of right, like here in l A too.
Like Pinkberry when Pinkberry was huge, and all of a sudden,
they just fade away quick. People got half people were
people got way tired of that frozen yogurt Pinkberry real quickly. Right,

(01:02:36):
they were everywhere Ashton in North Carolina. What's up man,
North Carolina? The Ashton you there?

Speaker 13 (01:02:44):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Yeah? What's man? There?

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
You are?

Speaker 13 (01:02:46):
Oh well, so how are y'all? Hey man, I just
wanted to say, there is on the border still out
here in Concord, North Carolina, right outside of Charlotte.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Wow. Yeah, I seen him in a minute.

Speaker 5 (01:02:58):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:02:58):
One restaurant I would I like to say is I'm
gonna have to go with you Rich Bennigan's. Man, you
can't beat that, And I'm excited for the chee cheese comeback.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
Thank you, guys same. I missed that style of eating
and get together. I really do, but I miss it.
I'm gonna quote you. This is something you've said and
we've all said when people say, oh man, I miss it.
If they bring it back, then you better support it.
If they bring back Bennigans, I'm getting a Turkyo tool.
I'm getting h like Danny g said, a sampler with

(01:03:28):
the potato skins, the chicken fingers, the uh well those
wings and it had mozzarella sticks the cheese to you know,
because because people are usually full of it, they'll say
things like, you know what, how do they let twinkies
get discontinued. It's like, what was the last time you
that true hat a twinkie? Is the Toys or US

(01:03:49):
theory too? Like Toys or Russ is closing. It's like, yeah,
well you're the one's shopping on Amazon all the time,
you big idiot. Yeah, I was speaking of which what
about do we want to go back to KB Toys?
Was that out here or nough? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
I would, And I would love more than just a
pop up version of Toys r us Cove, you know,
because and rich in dB they have youngsters. It would
be great to bring your kid in and let them
run around a toys That's true.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
You know what. My daughter just fell into that pocket
and I'm glad she had that experience and that magic
of we're going to toys R Round. The last big
one in Times Square that closed when we were living
in New York City was the one that had the
ferris wheel inside the Time Square location. It sucks that
they closed those down. I jokingly said KB Toys. My mom,

(01:04:33):
who was here for Thanksgiving, we were reminiscing a little
bit and she goes, I remember going to Kby Toys
in waiting in line to buy you double Dribble. I'm like,
you remember that double dribble, But you know why Rich,
because that was the mall version of like Toys r
US that was in the mall kb Abe Toys. What
store do you want to bring back? And I love
that answer too, because again I feel like if you

(01:04:53):
grew up with that, you just want that magic for
your kids. And it's not like the toy isle at Targets,
just not the same that little pop up Toys r
US version they have. It's it's interesting you would say
that because my kids are spoiled little I don't want
to say squirts, Yeah, squirts, yeah, spoil little squirts. And

(01:05:15):
I'll go to Target and I'm like, just like the
same three aisles they know by now, it's it's not
the same lego little kid toys. And like, just like
Steph Curry ruined the NBA, Amazon ruined Toys r RUSS.
That's true, Josh and Ohio John with c and our
Chee Cheese making a comeback? What store would you want
to see make make a comeback?

Speaker 12 (01:05:35):
Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. As always. Uh,
first of all, I want to say that I was
employed at the Muncie, Indiana chea cheese when I was
at Ball State when included that two thousand and three.
So I'm excited for the Ultimate Margarita to come back.

Speaker 6 (01:05:49):
My toy, though, is.

Speaker 12 (01:05:50):
Where my mother worked at in high school, and it
was fine dining for us. Anytime we went out to
eat there, it was Ponderosa.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
The Ponderosa.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
I haven't those answers. Yeah, all over Long Island where
I grew up, the Ponderosa. Great call, man, Thank you
so much. Do you remember whether it's Sizzler Ponderosa ground Round?
I know Danny g dan Byer all have the same memory.
I guess we've all been to one of them. Do
you remember when you were able for the first time
to use the soft serve machine as a kid? Like
it was part of like the like you know, you

(01:06:20):
would buy the salad bar and at the end you're like, wait,
I could pull down the lever as a kid. It's
a big moment and soft serve ice cream. And he
brought up that ultimate margarita.

Speaker 8 (01:06:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Yeah, another reason I'm excited for chee cheese. We'll get
one tonight.

Speaker 10 (01:06:33):
Ultimate.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
We're getting Mexican tonight for the company party. What up
ron in Rochester? What's up buddy? Hey?

Speaker 8 (01:06:39):
So uh P loved saying pon Rosa, but Lum's, Carrol's
and Howard Johnson's the three Quick Ones job. Yeah, but
so anyway, I was going to school at Northeasternior University.
Reggie Lewis is in my dorm freshman year. I was
working at Ben Again's, ended up transferring to Syracuse. Go cues,
Carmel Asy, come in but you Hey, I know we hey,

(01:07:00):
but let's sing the Happy Birthday song together. I was
there in nineteen eighty five. It's still in my head.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
All right, we could try you Ready Birthday. I'm three
ready one two three, Happy Happy Birthday, Happy happy Birthday.
That's why we're here to say, hey, happy happy birthday.
May all your dreams come true. Happy happy Birthday. From
CNR to you, Hey, from Ben it is to you. Hey, dude,

(01:07:26):
I love it. I missed those days. That was a
lot of fun. Hey, Ron, thank you so much. Let's
go to Ben in New Mexico. You're on the CNR show.

Speaker 8 (01:07:34):
Hey, guys, thanks for.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Taking my call.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
I would definitely want the Pizza Hut buffet.

Speaker 12 (01:07:39):
Going to Pizza Hut right on the Flintstone Ride five
dollars all you can eat buffet Pizza Hut.

Speaker 6 (01:07:46):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Someone pointed out the red plastic cups. Is that what
you gonna say? Yeah, oh no, you read my mom.
I'm so sorry, dude. Yeah, those the plastic red cups,
for some reason are so nice, right, Yeah, that's synonymous
with Pizza Hut.

Speaker 10 (01:08:00):
Pizza Hut has not done anything new for the last
twenty five years. Yet that's all they do is they
throw nostalgia in our face. It's true. It annoys me
so much because it was the best time. But you
see what's his face from the office doing all those
and he's wearing like a warm up track suit of
the apron that you would sit at with the red checkerboard.

(01:08:21):
That's all they do. They do the same stuff. They
they think their stuff is new. It's just pizza wrapped
up in some different form. Yeah, But they try to
sell you now on the nostalgia because we all loved
Pizza Hut thirty years.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
Because when we were kids that was a treat for us.
We brought up entitlement. We brought up entitlement in the
NBA and the entitlement of the players. There's a lot
of entitlement with just us and especially kids today. I
hate to say that because it makes it sound like
old guys, but it's true because if you went to
Pizza Hunt, dude, you were so pumped about that. It's
such a treat, a treat when they now your kid

(01:08:55):
has pizza like four times a week. When they debuted
stuff Crusp Pizza, I mean, that was a big moment.
I got toom. It came to mind though. It was
a big moment. Before we move on again, Chee Cheese
is coming back every Thursday. We throw it back old
school in fifty hits. What are these chain restaurants or
stores that you wish me to come back? I got

(01:09:17):
two more. When I worked at Bennigan's. The parent corporation
owned another chain, so the higher end version of Bennigan's
was Steak in Ale. I don't know if people remember that,
but I loved it. Steak and Ale was one of
those places for me growing up. Was like the fancy
steak place in my neck of the woods, but it

(01:09:37):
was a chain. It had the salad bar to the
whole deal and rich You're gonna know this one and
love this one. They actually took Steak and Ale down
in my neck of the woods, like Springfield, New Jersey,
and they built the Famous Daves and Famous Daves. This
was for chain barbecue that's still around, right, but they
still around. Maybe I haven't seen it in years, man,
But man, I'm happy to know that.

Speaker 10 (01:09:58):
The one in Palmdale and origunately burned out, but yeah,
still big in the Midwest. I just started in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
Famous Dave's stand by. I feel like there are times
I'd go with like my high school of college girlfriend
to the mall and a lot of times we were
attached to a mall. Give me some sweet and sad
that devil spit. I didn't know I was still around,
but I'm happy to hear that. So on the close front.

Speaker 10 (01:10:21):
Just sorry to interrupt. There's the Famous Daves in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
You guys don't know this.

Speaker 10 (01:10:25):
I went three times during the Super Bowl last year.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Yeah, yes, Well, because you know what, you rarely see
them so named Famous Dan. That's going to be like
us at waffle House in New Orleans. Yeah, that's so funny.

in prep for the show. Yeah, prep parlays. Am I
gonna hit my no? But the Big TV Game of

(01:12:39):
the Week is something I do on the spot because
I want to actually talk it out with you guys,
I feel like, because that's how I do it in
my living room. Right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
Is that why you were so easily distracted in Auburn?
Were you reading of the wrong week? The true story?

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
When we were in Auburn a couple of weeks ago,
right when I was trying to figure out what the
big TV game was, there was a group of college
seniors that were all walking by me in booty shorts
with their hot moms too. It was it was parents weekend,
so you got these hot twenty year olds and their
forty year old moms. I'm like, which way do I go?
It was like Rich was being set up. They only
walked directly in front of him. Yeah, I like the game,

(01:13:15):
reading off games from week ten or something. He wasn't
even on the right week. I was reading the NBA
scorse all right, So your big game that gets the
big TV. It's the big TV game of the week
because when you got the Sunday ticket going, you got
the split screen. All the little games they don't get
the volume, but you keep your eye on them. What
gets the big screen the screen I roll in TV

(01:13:38):
number two now, Covino. When you look at the early games,
there's a couple easy skips, like Saints Giants, No thanks, Nope,
Browns at Steelers. We just saw that game, I know, right,
Cabalisio Falcons at Vikings. That gets a spot on the

(01:13:58):
that gets a spot in the in the in the
quad box in the fourth screen. I'll give it that.
And by the way, you completely dissed the Vikings as
Super Bowl contenders. Well you know why distant for your
forty nine ers. Let me tell you why, because I
have a few good Viking fan friends, and they all
tell me they don't even want to buy in yet
because they know how this story ends. So I gotta

(01:14:20):
want to get them hype out. I want to get
them hiped. It was out of consideration. Yeah, so Falcons
Vikings is in consideration, Raiders Bucks. Sorry Danny G. Not
putting that one on the big TV. Panthers thirteen and
a half point underdogs of the Eagles. Again, no thanks,
Jack's Titans garbage game, Jets Dolphins trash game. In fact,

(01:14:42):
now that I'm looking at it, go to Home Goods
and get some Christmas decorations for the early game sets.
You're decorating gear, That's where I'm gonna hang the lights
on my roof. You'll find me during the early games
on my roof. Well, that is true. Inflating a big
Santa Claus. Even if you started decorating last week, you
probably we really didn't finish, so maybe maybe this is
when you finish. So I guess the one good game

(01:15:05):
in the early slate. And we've said this before, Danny G.
It's true. Right towards the end of the season. There
are some weeks that have lame matchups because you're looking
at teams or at the basement playing teams that are
in the playoff contention, and it's really like lackluster. Yeah,
maybe you use this as an excuse to go out
for brunch with your wife. I was to say and
tell your wife that you chose her over the games
for lunch. Well, there is one game and I said it,

(01:15:26):
and that's Falcons, who are six safe? Good? You're so sweet, dude.
You know you're forgetting the Falcons were hot. Kirk Cousins
has cooled down terribly, right, and he's all focused on
watching wicket again. Let me tell you, Kirk Cousins, and
that Falcons team is six and six. You know who
else is six and six right there with them? Baker Mayfield,

(01:15:47):
your boy. So I think the Falcons, I think I
have a slide under five hundred playing at Minnesota. I
think the answer is yes, and that it bodes well
for your dude, Baker. That's your early game that I
think gets the TV again, simply based on nothing else
really doing late games. Seahawks Cardinals a battle for the

(01:16:13):
NFC West rematch, right, Bears Niners. I'll be watching that
because I'm a dumb Niners fan. But you know, put
that aside. You can also say Bills at Rams is intriguing,
but I think Josh Allen just runs over the Rams
in La. It's not like LA's a home field advantage.
The game of the week late Games, the Big TV
goes to the Seahawks Cardinals. Seahawks win, They're two games

(01:16:38):
up on everyone else in the division. If Arizona wins
at home, they split that series. And if the forty
nine Ers beat the Bears and the Bills beat the Rams.
We talked about it the other day, that division could
all be within one game going into next week, which
is wild. Okay, So the Seahawks Cardinals.

Speaker 4 (01:16:56):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
Seahawks Cardinals. It's not a great week, guys. All Right,
I'm gonna be real with you. I lie, no, Chris Rock,
say lie to me, Jerry' there's like two good games
this week. You'll enjoy the watch home alone two Chargers Chiefs.
But that's it. That's awesome, and that brings us to

(01:17:17):
your phone calls because coming up next, yeah, Panera bread
worker or NFL player. All right, we're gonna start getting
contestants for the game, so you could win some prizes.
Let me let me make something clear though about the
NFC West. Let me let me go over one thing
real quick. And there is a good game Sunday night.
So while you're having dinner, while you're getting ready to

(01:17:38):
tuck your kids into bed on Sunday, getting uh, getting
the bed for the elf on the shelf, right is
elf and the elf and the shelf, figuring out where
he's gonna hide. The Chargers could really mess up the Chiefs.
The Chargers are playing in Kansas City, and as we've said,
Kansas City has won some really close games they might

(01:18:00):
not necessarily deserve to have won. But as you know,
the Buffalo Bills are salivating at the idea of someone
stealing a game from the Chiefs because if they're tied
at the end of the season, home field goes through Buffalo,
and you know the Bills want that. Chargers could do it,
but it's at Kansas City. Kansas City is only favored
by four. So if you like Kansas City, I would

(01:18:21):
say take Casey with those four. But Jim Harbaugh, you
don't think he wants to go into the city and
then keep his playoff run alive. There are no slouch.
So think about this. The Chargers are eight and four
if the Raiders don't fumble that ball on Black Friday,
if the Broncos don't get a field goal blocked, if

(01:18:45):
the Ravens don't have a toe on the back of
the end zoneline. You know that those are three examples
of how the Chargers could be eight and four and
the Chiefs could be eight and four. So I think
that is arguably your best game of the week if
you just wait till Sunday night. When I said the
NFC West, I just want to make this clear. I
know I'm a delusional forty nine Ers fan. You don't
have to tell me. I get it at rich Davis.

(01:19:06):
You can make fun of me, hit me up, but
McCaffrey out is the sad part. But when you look
at the schedule, it's still not out of reach. Dude,
stop laughing at me. Isaac the only man of reason
that doesn't have to hear this every day. Let me
let me explain to you this week, if the Seahawks

(01:19:26):
we went game by game, you were way generous about
one of them. I forget which were let me just
break this down this week. If the forty nine Ers
beat the Bears, which I think they could do, it's
in the Bay Area. Come on, Okay, forty nine Ers
would be six and seven. Rams lose to the Bills, right,
Rams would be six and seven. Seahawks lose in Arizona.

(01:19:51):
I think Kyler Murray wins that game. They're favored by
two and a half. It's close game, they split it,
they'd both be seven and six. So where's this team
that's run away with this garbage division? Seahawks and Cardinals
at seven and six, Rams and Niners at six and seven,
the forty nine Ers end the season. But even if
you're playing Arizona, if you make the playoffs, and I
guess how Seattle has to play still, by the way,

(01:20:12):
for the record, they have to play Minnesota, they have
to play Green Bay, they're gonna get their ass whooped
by a couple teams from the NFC North. So if
you're a Niners fan, it really is a shame that
McCaffrey's out right, because they could have slid in somehow
by a miracle and been that weird team in the playoffs, like, oh,
we don't want to play the Niners. But we're ready

(01:20:34):
for a game. Let's play. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:40):
