Speaker 1 (02:54):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm not the only guy that did this in college,
but we all try to plan to have like nothing
on Friday, right. You weren't really able to do it
often freshman year, but after freshman year, I listen, I'm
not dating myself.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'm in my forties.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'm not an old guy, but we were not registering
for classes online yet, so I remember waiting. You would
wait in a line to register for your classes, and
you would try so hard to make your Fridays have
nothing so that you could start drinking and partying. Thursday
night and just chill. Thursday night was day fat night.
Friday night was the Yeah, hopefully you have a nice

(03:31):
three day week and ahead of you sort of day.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, so let's do a.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
College style meaning, let's party it up today and half
assed tomorrow. You want to do kegstans tonight, bro, You
know what, I was never a keech stand guy. That
was one of those things I avoided. Is there anything
that you know you're not good at so you sort
of avoid. I mean that's sort of how I roll
in life. If you're not good at something, I'll give

(03:54):
you two circumstances in which I avoid things because I
know I'm not good at it.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Number One.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
In college, I partied with the best of them, but
I was never good at like.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Chugging beer or doing a keg stand.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
So anytime that those shenanigans broke out, that's what I
sort of did. The Homer Simpson dip into the bush, like,
oh you guys do that. Well, that's why I only
like drinking games or card games for that matter. I
just lose focus. I'm not interested. I'm not passionate about it.
I'll do that. I'll do that, souff, but I'm not.
That was never good than that. Drinking upside down is
not normal. It's not natural. I do a keg stand.

(04:25):
You have to like train yourself to do that. Gravity
wants to take hold.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
What about it? I woa when you would butt chug though?
Is that different? But I went yeah, but chugging is
a whole different way. We're not familiar with that night Oka,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
And secondly, I don't got the moves like I'm uh,
you know a Jabbawaukee or Travolta or something. If there's
a dance circle at a part of your wedding, I
make it impossible for someone to like push me into
the circle.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Like come on, Rich and I'm like to breaking it down.
I'm not a dancer. Rhythm's a dancer, not Rich Davis.
It's generational.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I feel like dancing skipped our generation right, our parents' generation,
and they love to dance and disco dance, and they
thought they were trivolling.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
My dad was going to studio fifty four. We grew
up hip hop days. You held your drink up and
bobbed your head.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
A little bit.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
You said, gangsters don't dance, We boogie.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Exactly like you saw the Running Man.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Maybe you tried it in your mirror and then you're like, yeah,
I'm not doing that, cabbage Patch, no thanks. Our generation
is sort of skipped right, and now kids today can't stop.
It's like they have dance threats. They got dance fever.
It's crazy when you think about how you're right. Your
parents put on their platform shoes and they were getting all.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Groovy in the disco disco disco.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
After that, our generation is like, yeah, they could dance
like a dance Maybe I'll just like you said, bob
your head. Now kids like watch me dance on TikTok,
watch me dance on Instagram, like can't stop, won't stop.
Everybody got a little dancing feet.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Can you imagine you.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
And your boys making like a dance video. No, choreography
was not part of my childhood. Wiffleball was, yeah, try
to learn dance. So anyway, answer your question, Riy thurstday,
let's do it. I try to stay away from things
that I'm not that good at. Some of you are saying, then,
why are you doing a radio show? Hey, I'm doing
my best, but thanks again for being part of it.

(06:11):
We include you. That's why eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox at Coveno Enrich at Steve Cavino, at Rich Davis.
Let the wild rumps start, man, we got lots to
get to today. Now, let's get right into the NFL.
There's a Joe Mixon story. And I find the details
of this funny because I think we've all been there

(06:31):
where you get accused of saying something or doing something
and you're like, whoa, ho, hold on, sold on, that's not.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
What I said. I wasn't even the guy.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Whoa.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
And that's sort of the story with running back Joe Mixon,
Danny g I know you are familiar with the timeline
of events for mixing.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Want to take us to the beginning of this. He
gets fined.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, so he gets slapped with that twenty five thousand
dollars fine. And Rich you you were arguing about that
fine on yesterday's show because you said, I don't understand
what he said that was so bad Basically, he had
said after the game, when you play the Chiefs, don't
leave it in the hands of the refs.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't think that's derogatory to the refs. I think
that's like borderline, like you know what he's saying. But hey, listen,
we got to play better. You should never leave it
in the hands of someone else. But that's a sentiment
that's shared in boxto sports especially. I was gonna say
the fight game, how many times do boxers say, look,
you know, I had my chance to knock him out.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
You just can't leave it up to the judges sometimes.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Because people are gonna see things that not everybody sees,
that you can't leave it in the judges hands. It's
not necessarily derogatory. There's some accountability there like as well,
you can see.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Both sides exactly, and Mixin shared those thoughts on social
media well our very own TJ Huschminzada Championship. He commented
underneath saying, why even play the game if the fifty
to fifty balls are all going to go to the Chiefs.
This is bias. It's ridiculous. And the agent for Mixon

(08:06):
got a letter from the NFL showing that quote as
the reason Mixon was getting the twenty five thousand dollars fine.
So the agent and Mixon are like, he didn't even
say this. A former player said this in the comments.
So the agent goes to the NFL and pleads his case,
and they said, okay, well we didn't like what Mixon
said either. We're gonta give him a twenty five thousand

(08:27):
dollars fine for that. So he's now been fined twice.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Double doozy.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
So instead of saying all right, we'll look into it
or maybe rescind the fine, they're saying, no, we're doubling down,
in fact, doubling the fine.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, we're gonna find you again for bothering us.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
In fact, Mixon just tweeted recently saying, so let me
get this straight. NFL finds me twenty five k for
something I didn't even say. I call him out for it,
and they respond by finding me again for something that's
not even a violation without even rescinding the first one.
Where's the accountability? Just respect the player's coals.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
It sounds like when you're reprimanding your kids, like if
you talk back to me one more time, you're grounded.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
But Mom, push your luck. But mom, all right, now.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
You're sitting now, you're you know, grounded three days, but
mom four days.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
It feels like it has no say here, Just like mix,
it has no say when it comes to the refs
in the league.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
So the agent is now appealing two fines.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
But he's saying he didn't say that.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
He didn't say what TJ. Houshman Zada said. Obviously Wow.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
But also his comments are subtle, like it's he's alluding
to it, he's not actually directly criticizing the refs. So
how can you get how can you get punished for
that twice? You should be allowed to have a little
subtle commentary that maybe invokes something.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
No, it's like, you ever hang out with a shady friend,
don't you dare look at me? You ever hang out
with a shady friend and he's up to no good
and like your girlfriend or wife like yells at you,
and you're like, what, he's the you know, he's the guy,
have to know good. He's just my friend. I'm not
accountable for uh, you know what he does. Joe makes

(10:08):
it be held accountable for someone else's social media events association.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, that's that's really it.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And the fact that you can get fined so often
in this league when you question anything, and you know,
we always like to tie things into real life. That's
one time I appreciate real life because maybe you don't
get paid as much as you want in real life,
but you're not getting fined for your actions, not in
that way. Imagine if we were all judged by performance,

(10:35):
people be getting fined all the time in real life.
Fis that happens, you know when you step out in sports,
So Joe mixing fine twice for something he never said,
and then find again doubling down. If you're a player
and you make a ton of money, I'd imagine these
fines still bother you because just on principle, Yeah, all

(10:57):
these guys come from humble beginnings for the most part.
Very few players, you know, are Ricky Schroeder coming from
a house of silver spoons.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I mean, twenty five thousand.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
I know, we all know is not a lot for them,
but it still sounds like a lot.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Well is it a lot for them?

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Though?

Speaker 5 (11:13):
When they've retired and ten years after they were playing
career ends, they're like, I wish I had that twenty
five thousand back.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Cask Cam Newton most recently right now, he got a
lot of criticism because he was saying, one of the
hardest adjustments he has to make as a dad, how
many kids you have eighteen?

Speaker 5 (11:27):
He has eight kids. They're not all his, some of
he like his step children once he's brought into his families.
And yeah, those NFL checks.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
But those checks don't come in anymore, and you don't
feel like Superman anymore when you can't provide that same
lifestyle that he used to give them without any thought.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
And it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
You know, I'm not feeling sorry for the guy, but
I do understand what he's saying. And yeah, that twenty
five thousand dollars would come in pretty handy down the line.
When you think about a guy that was once making
tens of millions of dollars, I would say, I'm right
fast forward in your picking your life up as a
you know, part time broadcaster, and your checks are in
the thousands, not in the tens and hundreds of thousands. Yeah,

(12:08):
guys like Cam used to spend freely, not thinking anything.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Just want something.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
They want to go somewhere, they want to do something,
they want to buy something, without even a thought they
were able to do it right now.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
There's a big difference between't do it the same way.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
There's a big difference between making tens of millions of
dollars and a couple hundred thousand dollars if you're like
a young broadcaster, former athlete, like you know, just so
you guys know, just because someone played in the NFL,
yeah they're gonna get a little more money.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
But it's not like every broadcaster on Fox, ESPN, NBC.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's not like all of a sudden they're like, oh,
because you're played in the NFL, here's millions that's reserved
for Romo Brady, the guys that have done it, the
radio podcaster guys. It's they're still trying to earn those
big bucks. Yeah, it's not like you just transitioned from
you know, I'm a player in the NFL to oh,
I'm a broadcaster and I'm making million. That's not how

(13:01):
it works. I have a question for you, Rich, because
you're sort of a shady character, as you admitted a
few seconds ago, not but go on, is there anything
you want to admit?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
And we won't find you. We won't find you here
on the show.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
In fact, if anyone wants to chime in at eight
seven seven ninety nine, m Fox and clear your name
and reputation.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
We're not going to throw your fine at.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
You something that you were accused of doing that you
really didn't do, saying something that you really didn't say.
I'm sure your wife or girlfriend always does something in
your face and you're like, that's not even what happened, right, Like,
I'm sure there's something out there that you're the Joe
Mixon on that story. I'll be honest and honestly, you

(13:39):
deserve some justice. But your wife never forgave you, your job,
never forgave you, and it's just not fair, and you're like,
guys still till this day, I'm staying in my ground.
I this is the worst rationale, and I want everyone
to know I've grown up since I've known Cavino for
twenty years, from our twenties, early twenties to now early forties.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I've known Kavino for the better part of this century.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, I'm a good husband now, but when I was
a single guy dating I remember dating a girl.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
They would constantly accuse me.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Of being up to no good, to the point where
I was like, if you're going to accuse.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
You're at with Cavino with whores, like.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
When I would get that treatment, Like, Babe, I was
just at the bar with Cavino, you know, watching the.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Game, chilling out. Are there girls there? I'm like, of
course there's women here, it's a bar.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
She'd accuse me, dude. But the number one thing you
need to do in those situations is you need to
call your girlfriend wife, and then you're like, yeah, it's
just me and the guys say hi, guys.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Don't give me that everything.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Guy know.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Then it puts them at ease and they don't bother you.
We just we're having some casesa say hi hi.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Or one of the voices they hear in the crowd
is a female.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, that that could work against you.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I gotta make sure, Yeah, you gotta make sure that
whatever girl's there and she doesn't say hi.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Did I hear a girl? Yeah? Maybe it's a bar,
there's women here.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I I hate to tell you, we're not an all
boys Catholic high school. Sam He just has a really
high voice. So yeah, I'm really close my best pal Sam. Oh,
you let Samuel know Samantha. Anyway, I have been accused
of things to the point where I'm like, well, if
you're going to accuse me, then.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I might as well.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Oh yeah, that's a And I'm saying that's terrible. It
is ideology, but that happens to many of people who
are young and dumb in high school and college relationships,
where it's like, yo, if you're gonna be up my
ass accusing me of everything, Oh.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
You're doing this, you're doing that.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Don't be shocked at at president eventually does do it
because you know, you're almost like leading them there. I'm
not saying don't take accountability. I'm just saying it makes
a little sense for a young.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Dumb Yeah, they feel persecuted and so they want to
get their money's worth.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
There was a breakup I went through in a previous
relationship lifetimes ago, and I was always accused. People always
want to know what happened, What happened, somebody cheat? What happened?
Nobody cheated? Right, Sometimes people grow apart, but there's always stories.
Oh yeah, Rich started those rumors. The stories always came
back to me, and he's like, I heard you didn't

(16:15):
support her, and you know, support her dreams and you
know her career and stuff. I'm like, told you that
she told me that you said that she was chasing
pipe dreams. I'm like, maybe I said that. I was like,
but I only said that because she said that I
was like an inferior man and my mom wore combat boots,
and you know, I had a small package and I

(16:35):
wasn't bringing home the bacon.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I wasn't laying it down in the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I only said that in response to me being the
worst guy ever, you know, because we were running behind
on bills or something. So you know that part of
the story is always left out. So I'm here to
claim my innocent innocence. If I ever said something about, hey, well,
your pipe dreams aren't paying the bills, that was only
in defense to me.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
You know, I mean me being put down in every
which way possible. Look lay down on the couch and
keep talking seriously.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
So I'm here to say, hey man, that's not how
it went down.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
It sounds like the reality TV show that Coveno.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
No, I'm Joe mixing, dude. I shouldn't have been fine,
wrongly accused, accused.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
You know, I may have said something along those lines,
but it was in retaliation there's a difference between just
strutting up to somebody and insulting them, right, but like no,
hold up. Yeah, I may have said something along those lines,
but it was in response. That's the difference. People leave
those things out of the story. Sometimes that's unfair. Joe

(17:37):
mix him here to say, hey, I'm innocent and I
don't want any fines. We got your back, Joe, because
the reality is he got accused. He then came out
and said wrongly accused, like Leslie Nielsen, you're you're accusing
me of this trash and then like oh yeah, find again.
By the way, again, you guys seen wrongfully accused with
Leslie Nielsen. Very underrated, that's good, it really is. It's

(17:59):
the same aaked gun type of humor.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
You know, it's so dumb.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's so by the way, Danny, if you were to
lay down and talk to a therapist, would you want
Jason Siegel or Harrison Ford's character Harrison Ford great therapist.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Just bring him top shelf candy Bill.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Again, it is a story of wrongfully accused, Like, it's
unfair what they're doing to him. He never said it,
and then he got fined again for even bringing it up.
And that happens in real life. Sometimes you're like, yo,
now defending myself. You should be allowed to defend yourself.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Give me a break.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Dan Buyer is a man of knowledge that I don't
have d me A lot of the fines based on
if they're league or team given. That depends if it
goes to charitable stuff or versus just the team, Like, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Think that I thought that the league finans, I'll go
to a charitable.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, but I don't know about the team ones.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Though, Yeah, I don't know what. Yeah that would Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Would you rather be fined by the team or the league?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Well, the league? Yeah, yeah, because if you did something
with a team, that's probably detrimental to the team the league.
You just did something. You hit a guy high?

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, true.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, hey Joe Mixon, we feel you your thoughts.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
At I didn't mean high on marijuana. I just meant
your helmets face, yes, guy high?

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yes, thank you dB eight seven ninety nine on Fox Again,
it's being wrongfully accused. It's defending yourself and that should
never be held against you either when you're just telling
the truth. It's like, yo, you're accusing me of saying
something or doing something. That never happened. And then just
because you simply spoke up to defend yourself, you're now

(19:39):
being punished even more. That is unfortunate, you know, in life,
in this story, and it just makes you want to
clear your name a little bit. Whether whether you're following
us or not, the bottom line is Joe Mixon represents
every man or woman who has been accused of something
at work or in their personal life didn't do it,
and then when they went to defend themse I was like,

(20:00):
you're crazy, I didn't do it. That's like the person
being like, all right, now you're more in trouble what
I remember. And we've all been there once, I gues
said in a relationship work somewhere you've been think you're
you show, And you think about this in any like
story of crime and any sort of court story, like
if you didn't do something you were innocent, wouldn't you
want to let everybody know right away that you're innocent

(20:21):
in this situation? And I think silence speaks volumes because
it makes people speculate, like I guess you did it.
True crime the way the way when they break down
the demographics, true crime stuff is the number one category
Among middle aged women. True crime is the top category.
Look at podcasts, look and every true crime. I agree
with you, but I would be very adamant if I
was accused of doing something like I didn't do that,

(20:43):
Danny g. It all of a sudden, you're being cuffed,
and it's like you killed your neighbor. And it's like,
what if you didn't kill your neighbor, would you be
quiet or what do you go in the news and
be like, oh, in and I tell.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
You you have to be quiet. This is like my
cousin Vinny, I.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Thought I shocked. I shot the clerk. I shot the clerk.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Now, I remember in high school I got accused of
doing something. Honestly, guys, you know me, this is something
I don't think. I hope you think I would never do.
I remember this girl told people that I spray painted
like obscenities in her driveway, Like I like, normally you
only did Yankee logos, yeah, just throw you know, gang

(21:21):
tags and things, but like personal insults toward this girl, right,
and the type of person she was, skank right, And
it's like she told people that I did that. I
was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And this is a minor example.
If I didn't defend myself, what would people think that

(21:43):
maybe he did?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
But then how come?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
How come when you see these true crime documentaries on
Netflix when someone's accused of like, hey, they murdered their wife.
If you didn't, I would be I would be like,
get every news camera here, but I did not do.
But lawyers would be like, shut up in my stupid
you know, throwback story.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I was like, yeah, oh, hold on, guys, I didn't.
Why in the world would I do something like that.
I didn't do that. Why would anyone even say that?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
And really quick rich a quick search, says NFL in
team finds are also donated to charitable concents.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
It makes me feel It makes me feel a little better.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
But so I don't blame Joe Mixon for defending himself
here in this moment. I do think the league is
waged for finding him twice. It shows how sensitive and
stuff they are. They don't want to hear anything about it,
and they're real quick to find his dude. Wait, so
they find him how much then total fifty ten fifty.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Sen Yeah, it's two different offenses.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Now it's weak man And like Iowa, Sam said, It
might not seem like a lot now, but it might
in the future.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
I'm sure they're gonna pull one of them, but that
still leaves a twenty five thousand dollars fine on the table.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, hey, Joe makes it. We got your back, buddy.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now coming up on the show, can you pinpoint your
best and worst moments. I'm not talking like real sad,
real life stuff, because there's a story about Saquon Barkley
had a story about Mark Andrews and somehow they tied it.
We'll get to that next right here, Covino on Rich
get ready for Championship weekend in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Now, we're not TV weatherman, but we know about driving
in winter conditions. Forecasts for a lot of the country,
snow and ice are here. Isn't everything in the country
just sort of backwards and crazy right now? Oh yeah,
it's like, hey, this part of the country is burning down.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
This place how snow?

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
It makes driving a challenge.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Thankfully, the experts at Tyrak noah thing or two about

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I was sam some old school billy joel Oh. I
think this is how you should claim your innocence. Though
you scream out on the rooftops people trying to ruin
your character like yo, I never said that. I didn't
do that. Men, if you're innocent, I think you speak out.

(24:41):
So I defend Joe Mixon here in this story. But
again for speaking out against the reps in the NFL,
he was fined again twenty five thousand dollars times too.
We have other things to get to, but I know
you had a story, Rich, and we'll take your phone calls.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
People in an emergency situation.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Now we're talking about being wrongfully accused in a relationship
at work, The Joe Mixon story is funny because he
got wrongfully accused twice and that he's double fined by
the NFL our Buddy Mike, who's listening in Cincinnati?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Who Mike Mike in Cincinnati? Yeah, but no, no, no,
that guy.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Oh he said, I got accused of drinking on the
job because I brought a root beer back from the
deli that was like a brown bottle.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
I got reported to h A. I had to dig
the bottle out of the trash can at work. That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I'd be like, here's the drinking on the job and
he had to actually present the empty root beer bottle.
Why in the beer? That's what I'm saying. When you
are that innocent, yo, dude, people you want it. There's
so many snitches, little baby, Yeah, so many snitches.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
We had somebody here that was accused of the same
thing because they were.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
And I believe that drinking out a job. I mean,
we've all seen it. But if that really was your story,
to me, you're a fool to not defend yourself. That's
why I get it. If Joe Mixon, like, why eat
that twenty five thousand? If he's like, yo, I didn't
do it, and I want everybody to know. Fight until
the end, fil the end, pay a penny.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm with him on that. Let's say hi to Arn
in South Dakota. What's up, Barn?

Speaker 7 (26:56):
Hey, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
This is only the second Arn I've ever met. Arn
Anderson and armed from South Dakota.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
Thanks fair enough well to falsely accus Earlier this year,
I did get rightfully accused of doing bad math on
this show, and I said the vikings were going to
go fifteen and three, but fourteen fourteen and fourteen three
is bad. And then I got falsely accused of being
a mooch one time in college. I have never ever

(27:25):
ever allowed that to happen again, Like I didn't sleep
for three days, and it's it's an interesting social experiment
when you when you get falsely accused, like how do
you how do you deal with it? And what what
do you do going forward? Tod never have that happen again,
and thanks for taking my call, no problem.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I think those are great examples. And the drinking on
the like you're defending your character at that point, like whoa.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Whoa, whoa?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
What about all time out?

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Come on? What so?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I think you have every right to. And it's a
shame they doubled down instead of hearing them out. But
I get it's the NFL. It's how they work. dB
brought up drinking on the job, and our buddy said
he was accused. There are times where have you ever
had someone tell a story where they exaggerated how like
drunk or high you were, and you so badly want
to be like, hold on one second, but like, I

(28:14):
stop what you are?

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Oh like getting me to your Christis party?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I was fine and you were like I was just
feeling walk around.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I was say, if you were sitting by the fireplace
telling stories to yourself.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
No, I wasn't. Again more embellishment.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
No.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I remember Rich made he was joking too. We were
playing like last one Standing or something, and make Rich
made reference that I was cheating, and I got like
so offended so instantly, because like I'm like, dude, whoa
hold on, no way, no much cheating here in his game.
Like you need to defend yourself sometimes, and I think
this is one of those times. I don't find I

(28:52):
find it odd if you didn't, I find it more
odd if you didn't to wrap it, it's a sports
related story when someone says you're lying, this is this
is such a silly, meaningless example. But I was playing
softball like I do, because you know, I'm trying to
stay active. I made a catch in the outfield and

(29:15):
it was like a legit. I'll be honest. It was
a great catch. Like I laid out. I came up
with it, little web Jim.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
It was Jim Edmonds like.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
It was a Jim Edmonds Griffy Junior Mo Jackson, like
I like laid out, and you know, I held up
the ball and I'm like, yeah, Rich climbed the wall
like Kenny Lofton and the fat umpire behind whole plate
that didn't even come out behind the plate to even
get a look was.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Like h nour s hit the floor.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I damn near lost my mind because in those scenarios
you're like, I'm not I'm not trying to sell you.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I caught the ball. It's a right, it's an injustice.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
There's been instant replay in the Balboa Softball League ever since,
ever since he changed the game. There should be there
should be, all right, thank you, Danny g. Thank you
for all the feedback.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Rich, And then we go to Dan Buyer for an
update dB B.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
By the way, it's my understanding that the employee who
no longer works here wasn't drunk. It was just took
we have a laid back atmosphere and just took it
a little too laid back. That's all it was. Yes,
it happens, Yeah, something something of that nature. Guys. We

(30:26):
know who the five finalists are for the NFL's Most
Valuable Player Award. Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Sakuon Barkley, Joe Burrow,
and Jared Goff considered the five finalists for the AP
honor that will be announced during the NFL Honors coming
up on February sixth, Just a few days before Super
Bowl fifty nine, longtime Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill reports that

(30:48):
the Cowboys could quote cross the finish line end quote
in the next day or so and making Brian Schottenheimer
the Cowboys head coach. No official word from Dallas on
the situation. Eagles set end Dallas Goddard's practicing today to
spin an ankle injury that forced him to miss yesterday's workout.
Jaguars want to speak with Bill's offensive coordinator Joe Brady

(31:08):
and Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore about their coaching vacancy.
Some news from the NBA and tonight's came between the
Bucks and Miami Heat. Tip off has been delayed an hour.
They're going to tip off seven to thirty local time
in Milwaukee. That's because the Bucks are still flying back
from New Orleans. They're going to get off of plane
and play an NBA game tonight. They were stuck in

(31:28):
the city because of the winter storms that hit much
of the South over the last couple of days. The
game last night against the Pelicans for Milwaukee was actually postponed.
Hornets forward Brandon Miller done for the season. He needs
risk surgery. Spurs routed the Pacers today in Paris one
forty one ten Victor won Binyama thirty points and eleven rebounds.
Lebron and Bronni James reportedly turned down an offer to

(31:50):
compete as a father son duo in the NBA All
Star Skills Challenge. That's according to NBA insider Chris Haynes
and multiple reports here. They ad lot of braves and
jerks and Profar agreed the terms on a free agent contract.
Does he leave San Diego Guys back to you.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Thank you, dB. Speaking of the Braves, I thought it
was kind of cool that Shipper.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Jones Larry Lay.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Shipper Jones went public via social media speaking out on
Andrew Jones, his brother Andrew Jones, saying like, how is
this guy not in the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Are you crazy? When you look at his status, He'll
get there.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
But it was nice to see that he had the
support of his former teammates and two notes, I'm sure
Dan has a million things in the update? Is any
truth to Jet's new head coach Aaron glenn insinuating he
wants to keep Aaron Rodgers around?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Is that just speculation? Is there any like a confirmation?

Speaker 4 (32:43):
I haven't done a dive deep on a deep dive
on it?

Speaker 1 (32:45):
And as as a Mets fan, then why are you
wearing on a scuba gear?

Speaker 4 (32:49):

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Some a tribe called quest, But there was always an
inner debate amongst my friends when you were organizing your
CDs in your case logic binder, or when you were
displaying them in your sweet CD case back at the
throwback Thursday, did you alphabetize them under A or t A? Yeah,
it's always tribe. Friends that would do tribe called quests.

(34:42):
I'm like, no, dude, it's a tribe. It's under a.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
We used to fight about.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Take a movie starts with the oka the White Stripes,
where do you alphabetize them?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
You have to do.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
With the meat in it?

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Going?

Speaker 3 (34:58):
W I covinven had ATCQ shirts. Yeah, so of course
it gets alphabetized with the.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
A love me some a tribe called Quest.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
It sounds funny when you say that though, right, yeah,
because you want to say I love a tribe called Wait,
I love I love a tribe tribe called Quest. So
it's like saying, hey, did you get the The White
Stripes album?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
And you know why because because people would just say tribe,
oh that new one from tribe tribe.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Dude, So we're Coveno owners. Don't it back on a Thursday?
About to get into some old school. When fifty hits,
we always throw it back in rend minis on Thursdays.
But I know you had one, Pete Alonzo thought you
wanted to.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Share real quick.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I mean they're saying talks now or advancing with the
Blue Jays as a Mets fan, which I am. I
have an answer, but I want to know what you
would What your answer is. If the Mets offered polar
Bear Pete, I think an insulting offer. But then again,
maybe I'm wrong, because it's not like the markets heating
up for uh, you know, the big man. The Mets
offered him three years seventy, less than twenty five a year.

(35:58):
I thought the initial offering really would be. I thought
they were gonna give Pete like four years one to twenty,
like thirty eight year. I way overestimated his value because
clearly if that were the case, someone else would have
swooped in already.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
They're calling the Blue.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Jays a little desperate right now, trying to keep up
with what the Yankees doing, Orioles Red Sox Red Sox
are trying to make moves.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I know.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
So they're saying right now, the Blue Jays are saying,
how could we be competitive? If the Mets said three
years seventy and Pete said no, how much better would
the deal need to be for him to pick up
his life, move to Canada, get away from a team
that is trying to put a winner on the field
in the National League in the Mets, Like, I get

(36:40):
it if it was four years, one to twenty or
over one hundred million, I get it. But if they
said three years eighty do you move to Toronto and
just and he's such a great fit on that Mets team,
he would be.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
In a lineup with Lindor and Soto and they'd be
protection d Yeah, yeah, he's got to take that.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
It would fifteen or more million dollars.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
I would think this is some bs, like, oh, he
took three years eighty mil instead of three year seventy.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Don't you feel like Steve Cohen would have then been like,
all right, let's I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
It's it's leaving a bad taste in a lot of
Met fans' mouths because we don't expect Pete to get
this big Sodo deal, but he is a homegrown guy,
and you're thinking that, like, really, can't you can't just
secure this guy. There's no way you're gonna compete with
the Dodgers. If you're like Oh, well, we'll roll out
some minor leaguers. Get Pete a Lonzo done. Come on, Mets,
don't let him go to the Blue Jays the end.

(37:31):
Maybe he's waiting for an amazing day on Saturday, right
when they announced their new away Jersey can't wait.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Maybe that'll be the day.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
You know, Hey, look at the clock, it is fifty.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
There's a certain.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Ya. What we gonna do?

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Go back back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday.
Old School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give
you the time capsule topic and we reminisce.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, well before we dive into it, and we're diving deep.
That's why I got on the scuba gear like Jaques Gustau,
look at you, you like Greglillgainnis. Before we dive into this.
I do want to get pro off to Danny G
diving because Danny G's always super produced and coming up
with great ideas for us. And he saw a meme,
a meme that said, oh wait, he saw me. He

(38:21):
was doing convenience style research. Yes, I get all my
news and ideas from memes. He says, hey, guys, look
at this meme.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (38:31):
And The meme reads, name a singer or band you
wouldn't go see even if you had.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
A free ticket.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So this meme went semi viral, but it was kind
of fun because it's a nice to go back discussion
that we could have. Because it doesn't have to be
a band or a singer. It could be an athlete
that people raved about but you just found boring, or
a team that won so many games but really didn't
excite you.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
You wouldn't even care to see him.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
It could be anything, or a TV show or movie, right,
you know, you just didn't get it. Coveno saw it
a year later and was raving about it on Netflix.
But you still don't get it.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Eh, Gerald's game, Gerald's game.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
This guy.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
So we'll go to your phone calls at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox because we'd like to open
it up. Get involved, Sam, think of stuff, dB, whoever's
hanging out, Spotty Covino, and Rich. I'll start it off
by saying, because it's kind of relevant. Now, I'll go
see the Timothy Shallow May Bob Dylan movie. But if
you gave me a free ticket to go see that

(39:31):
guy perform, I'd pass on it. And I understand his legacy,
and he's a great songwriter, and did you realize he
wrote this, this and that and his songs are beautiful.
I would not want to hear that guy squeal. Yes,
even if I had a free ticket.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
I have seen him in conto. He was great, Really
was it really? I'm with my dad and Costello opened
up for me.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
But was he really great or was it you just
taking in the fact that you know he was a legend.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
So I would say you could check that box.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
I would say that his band behind him was really
great and he was kind of mumbling singing stuff. Nothing
I can say I saw Bob Dylan in concert.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Okay, I'm saying that you could say that because you
saw a legend.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
I totally get that.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
I don't think it was ever on the bucket list,
but now it's checked off.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, like, I understand the thought behind that, But honestly,
that dude does not thrill me, not even the slightest.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah, I play that next time.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
So wait, you got a ticket for free? Nah, I'm good,
that's a good one. What artist, what sporting event? What
would you not pay for? You know what?

Speaker 2 (40:38):
I I have a few artists.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I'm gonna call out, and you know.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
What, I'm I've.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Been to a hockey game. I've been to a few.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
I'm not bashing our hockey friends, but if you want
me to go to a hockey game, you better have
seats on the glass, because I'm not going to a
hockey game. Are you gonna put them on the glass?
Put my boots on the glass? Shock everyone, But I'm
not going to a hockey game. If you give me
tickets for free, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
I'm just not going too cold. Yeah, we'll get more
of your feedback next
