Somem're major. Yeah, and we'll talk about Gronku, accidental success.

(02:33):
There's stories. We'll get to all of them. But like
when you decided to team up with me accidental success,
you know, and I was like, sure, I'll do a
radio shows.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I mean twenty years later, I.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Mean listen, I picked I picked wisely, nah rich so
me and he's like that guy brings the boom.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Sure, I'll team up with you.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, you know what it was.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
It was during the time of the Latino boom, Ricky
Martin j Low and I'm like, oh, it's trendy to
team up with cool Latino guy.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, look at that. So yeah, we'll talk a little gronk,
but let's do this. Man.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Well, before we get to whatever you're thinking about, I
gotta give everyone the Golden rule. We were saying, okay,
what's the golden rule? Not the golden at bat. We
talked about that yesterday by the way.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Dude, I got a goat. You ever feel like someone
just swayed you the wrong way? I swayed you the
wrong way.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
My first instinct yesterday was the Golden at bat is stupid.
That was my first instinct. It really was stupid, dumb,
get out of here. He said, like this saved by
the beltcast going down the stairs for that drug ad.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Stupid dump, dumb stinks I'm doing. That's actually pee wee herm.
Remember's like stupid, nope, uh huh.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
And then Rich came in here honestly and like, I
feel like I was hit over the head. And he's like, nah, dude,
it'll be great, and he built up this whole story.
He did a great job. Sold me on the possibility
of the golden at bat in MLB.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I should be a politician.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
And then I'm reading all the feedback that we got
and everyone's like, guys, you serious.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's the dumbest idea ever, the worst idea ever. And
then I'm like, how did I let Rich sway me
on this? And then I saw the headline. Did you
see the headline from the New York Post today?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Rich Davis from Fox Sports Radios and dummy, No, no, no,
It says MLB's Golden at Bat is utterly the most
moronic disgrace of an idea ever. And I'm like, you know,
how did I had? I let Rich like sway me
here and you did such a great job.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Thank you? When is he never led you somewhere? Lame
that thank you?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Spot No, It's like he had Remember in the show
True Blood way back on a Wednesday. Remember True Blood,
vampires had a way of glamouring you into believing whatever
they were saying.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Like Rich had me under a spell yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I was like, yeah, guy, fun Golden rule, the Golden
met Beat, Yeah, the Golden at Bat.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
He's right. I convinced. And then I got home and
I'm like, what was I talking about? That is dumb?
At hell?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I convinced a handful of people, was great, I convinced millions.
I'm a dope. I went to softball last night, had
a game last night. Guys on my team were like, y'all, dude,
are you on Fox Sports today? You're trolling everyone?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right, I'm like, no, I believe in the Golden and
I did.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
You had me convinced yesterday, And then I thought about
it more I'm like, no, what was I thinking?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I was drunk.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I think I do want to say that the Doug
Gottlieb Show they're against your They really took you guys
to the cleaners.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh really, and you've Rich and Steve.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You even made it to what does the Fox Say,
which we do on the Bonus Pot the Golden The
Golden at bat made, Yeah, made its way into the
Doug gotlie I'll tell you what saturated. Rich really made
it sound fun. It's like a guy that sells you
on the week. It's like the fire Festival. Dude, It's
gonna be great, trust me, and you buy into and yeah,
you buy into it, and you're like.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
This sucks.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Rich sold me on that yesterday so hard, and he
made it sound fun. And I'm like, I'm not completely
against it, Rich, but the more I thought about it.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'm like, that is stupid.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, now we got to listen to the Gottlieb Bonus
Pod for them to just roast me. By the way,
speaking of Golden tickets, I saw Doug on Instagram has
he got the Golden Whistle? I saw him doing some
like he got he got like great b roll of
him coaching, but I feel like a practice.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I was like, does he have a golden whistle.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I've not seen the golden whistle.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, so not the golden whistle, not the golden at bat,
the golden rule. Around this time of year, when your
holiday parties underway, because this week is our Fox Sports
Radio Company holiday party, Christmas party, whatever you want to
call it. You could drink. Yeah, you might say some
questionable things. You may flirt it up with the wrong person.
Everyone's going to be talking about it. Hey, go dip

(06:28):
away and get high. Yeah, you just can't be the
worst yea. And yeah, I remember there was a company
party at Serious XM years ago. Yeah, company parties. They
used to go all out. Now before things like budget
cuts and stuff like that. Yeah, back in the day,
we used to have wherever you worked, you had big parties.

(06:49):
You could bring your wife or husband, you all, you
could eat, all, you could drink at nice places.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Now a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
If you wanted to flirt with the hobbie at the office,
you can't bring your wife, dude. I mean, speaking of which,
think of Love Actually the movie you hate the movie
I love. The whole point is that they had some
elaborate Christmas party. That's how the world was off. This
Christmas party, a great Christmas and it turned into party
in the lobby, and now we're actually having a good
one this year. I'm excited about it at a nearby restaurant.

(07:16):
But what's the rule? Tell everybody the rule?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Rich?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, if your company, I guess it's optics too, right.
You can't do budget cuts and then go all out
for a Christmas party. You have to be like, hey,
we're gonna have the company party in the lobby. We've
got some garbage cans full of Miller lights. Like that's it,
some jungle juice. That's some company parties that I would say.
The rule is you can't be the worst, right, But
you also have to have a real friend that's not
in competition with you to tell you and remind you

(07:40):
when to say when, and to keep you off the
dance floor, and to stop you from doing the worm,
to stop you from tying the tie around your head,
to stop you from throwing up on yourself, flirting with
the hobby in front of everybody, like you need someone,
You need someone to have your back a little bit.
Don't cross the line with the hawkerl Yeah, that's always

(08:01):
a thing. Don't take this as a chance. Oh, don't
take weird pictures that are gonna end up on the
you know, on the company website the next Monday.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Don't do that.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Don't ask your bosses for a raise, don't.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Even bring up business. I don't think.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
I was just about to say that, but rich nobody
ever abides by that, though, because what happens. Oh, you're
the one that sends us those commercials for the podcast,
and then you start talking a little bit of work.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah you know what, I think.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
You know, you have that commonality, right, that's your common ground,
so it's bound to come up.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
But you don't want it to be just about that
away from it.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, you're not when we say you're not talking business,
you're not talking like company raises, numbers, things.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Like the stock set. We should be getting raises now.
So you're saying I shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
You're saying, by the end of tomorrow's Christmas party, I
shouldn't try to get us on eight new affiliates.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Okay, I'll back off.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
I would say, dress appropriately, right, that's obvious. Don't have
your drunk hanging out what but you know where we.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
In this role?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Seriously, when we were at Sirius XM, and we still are.
We do music at Sirius XM. Right, Cavino and Rich separately.
He does pop stuff. I do rock stuff.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Early on in the early two thousands, we had a
colleague that just made such.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
An ass of himself. Dude, he was, you know, throwing up.
I'm thinking of different guys out there's there's two different series.
Because there were times where I would have a bunch
of drinks, I'd be like party animal guy, and Kevino.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Would say, you're lucky.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'm like, way, my wookie, he goes while you were
a little out of control, you paled in comparison to Blank.
One year, one of the older employees got very like
old school machismo with some of the female employees.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I'm like, yo, this guy's gonna get fired.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
That guy made me look tame, right, And then the
next year the drunk guy. Some employee got so drunk
he passed out. People were taking pictures with him like
he was weekend at Bernie. Yeah, Like there was like
their ass on his head and stuff. That's like Todd
Packer in the office. So he's covered a silly string.
Not the look you want with your colleagues. Is fun
to unwind, It's fun to have fun. But that's your

(10:06):
holiday party reminder from your boys who got your back. Covino, Rich,
Danny J. Spondy, Sam Buyer. All right, Fox Sports Radio's
got your back. So before we go into Brock party
and your Spotify unwrapped, I with Sam. I believe you
told me we have great audio from Michael Kay who

(10:26):
you love Yankees? My dad listens to Michael Ka New York.
It's the only other radio show he listened to besides
you to the track to the Wall looking up, see Yah,
and he's roasting here. Your guy with the Mets, who
does a show helped me out here? Evan Roberts, No
different guy, Garry Cohen, No, he's hold on Salacata sal

(10:48):
just keep guessing names Ziel He says it in the
in the Okay, let's tell you listen.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Is it perfect?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
No?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Would I shine off on it?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Probably wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
But imagine the outcry because a guy is trying to
do something to juice a game that needs to be juiced,
and all the people that say this is like sacrilege.
Guess what we got you. It's the young players, the
young people we don't have them. So we have to
turn the ninth inning into an event where your best
player is going up against the closure. And you see

(11:17):
no value in that because nothing can change in baseball,
because it's not a sport, it's a religion. You all
have to get your heads out of your butts to
jump a guy for trying to make a legitimate change
or thinking about a legitimate change, even a guy I love.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Howie Rose.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
This has got to be a joke.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
No, the loss of baseball, eyeballs, that's a joke, Howie.
There's got to be something that stops it. It's got
to be something that stops the erosion of this great game.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
You got to make it appeal to more people, younger people.
Those are the people we do not have.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
And you're going to crucify Rob Manford because he's thinking
outside the box.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You all have to grow up and you all have
to open your eyes. So see what's happening with the game.
What so maybe we weren't there for all?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Got your boy, Michael Caine, No, No, You're I'm back in.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm back in. You know what, Rich really sold it?

Speaker 2 (12:04):
And I'm telling you, even like my high school friends,
everybody that caught wind to this hit me up like, Yo,
this is the dumbest idea ever. This is ridiculous, This
is stupid, And I was like, how could we be
so wrong?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
It sounds like fun?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, Michael k brought me back a little bit the
Golden at Bat. If we're on the track of dumb ideas,
we moved past the Golden at Bat. We spent a
lot of time and a lot of fun on that.
Yesterdays are most fun show in quite a while. Let's
move to another idea that summer saying is dumb, and
others are saying, yo, this is the way forward, and

(12:39):
not just because they're my team, because it's a hot story.
The San Francisco forty nine Ers. If you're John Lynch,
you're Kyle Shanahan. And by the way, I looked at
the schedule ahead, if the Niners win for their last five,
which I don't think will happen, the teams in that division.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Still play tough team.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I wouldn't be shocked if you want to take like
a wild futures bet forty nine Ers make the postseason
if you could get a great value on because yeah,
they played the Lions, Outside of that, they could win
the other four games. It's like the Bears, Rams, Dolphins.
So it's not crazy where the Cardinals and Seahawks have
to play Minnesota Green Bay like this. There's tough games

(13:22):
there and they have to play each other. The forty
nine ers likely though I'm guessing nine to eight. Eight
and nine missed the postseason. Now there's two trains of thought.
You pay Rock Purty. He's proven that with the talent
or without, he is clearly an above average NFL quarterback. Yeah,

(13:46):
I mean, you gotta give him prompts that even during
this season where they're playing terrible and dealing with a
lot of injuries.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
A multitude of it, he has avoided really all criticism.
No one has.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
I've never heard anyone say he's the issue or he's
the problem, where he's the reason. If anything, he's keeping
it together and he's rising above the fact that that
team's injured. So he's proven himself more this year than
I'd say in previous years.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
One could argue.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
That, I mean, he's had some dead games, but no
one's not the reason. No one's saying the Niners it's
all brock Perty's fault. Huba's stank not singing about him.
So the reason is not him.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
The reasons not him. But here's the question. When you
do have.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Aging stars, stars, stars and stars, McCaffrey not getting younger, Deebo,
Samuel Trent Williams is still the best, but that clock
is ticking. The forty nine ers are a bunch of
aging future Hall of famers. They have I think they
have guess left in the tank, but they can't take

(14:55):
a road trip, is what I'm saying. There's gas left
in the tank, but they're not having in Vegas. They
they got to stop in like Bakersfield. They're going to
stop in uh was it prim Nevada. They're gonna stop
by Whiskey Peepe. They can't make it all the way.
They're gonna go to Buffalo Bills. First, My point is
the Niner stell guests in the tank went healthy. But

(15:19):
do you worry about making your team deeper without Rock
Purty or do you say no, no, make this team deeper.
Don't give Purdy fifty million dollars a year, maybe more,
draft a quarterback. See what the free agent market looks
like for some of these some of these, uh you.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Know, journeymen. The forty nine ers are still in that.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I think they're still in that little window where with
some adjustments, they could win. You said it about the Eagles.
We thought the Eagles were done. We thought Buffalo was done?

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Right? How many people?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I saw Rich Isson the other day, He's like, listen,
I apologize. I thought it was the Dolphins and Jets,
and I rode off Buffalo thinking McDermot and Josh Allen
that was done. They may win the Super Bowl. Forty
nine ers have the ability to turn this around. I
truly believe that, even without my forty nine or fan
goggles on.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
So next year better off with or without purg Do you.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Go forward and say we're gonna make this team deep,
but go with a lesser QB because I believe in
Shanahan's system. Or do you say, hey, listen, Brock, parties
earned it. And then there's option three, which is I
think a little cold blooded?

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Cold blooded?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
You could make Party play for one point nine million
and give him that one year tech would would that
be dirty?

Speaker 4 (16:37):
If the NFL twenty twenty five draft was held right now,
the Niners would be picking fourteenth.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, you want to take that chance? This goes back
to is it the system or is it Tom Brady?

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Is it the coaching of Bill belichickers with Tom Brady
years later? Tom really wlidify the answer to that.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Ques, Well, you know what you know.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
I think, but I've heard I think it's I think
it's the combination of both. Not just think party's proven
that he is better than people gave him credit, no dignity,
no doubt. But I think what we did learn also
is that the minute some I'll be honest, like football moron,
the minute some you know person with very little insight says,

(17:23):
you know, there's you move on from Kyle Shanahan. I
agree with not only our show, but multitude of high
level people that said if Kyle Shanahan was let go,
eighty percent of the league would fire their current coach
to get Kyle Shanahan. You don't get rid of Kyle
Shanahan on a down injured year. So Shanahan, John Lynch,

(17:45):
that's a combo. You want to keep around for a
decade and build around and see if you could revamp
the way the Golden State Warriors, the way the Patriots,
the way franchises. The only difference is the Niners haven't
finished the job. Well, let me answer the question before
we move on. Based on the fact that you'd get
the fourteenth pick, I'd say you stick with Purty.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I'd say you even tag him.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
You stick with Purty, give give him the bunk deal
and be like, yeah, you're sticking around for like two mil. Yeah,
Plett Party continue with a healthy forty nine ers team.
He sort of earned it as well. He's still young.
That's the other plus side of a rock Party. He's young,
doesn't have a lot of wear and tear. He's healthy.
He'll have his team back, they'll be healthy. I don't

(18:26):
think you take that fourteenth round chance. If you got
your health fourteenth pick chance, I'm sorry. When you have
all your high profile players coming back ready to go
next year, No way, that's too.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Much of a risk. What would you do is the question.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I think rock Party was just, I don't say, an anomaly,
But he really sees that moment of gaining the respect
of a lot of veteran players because he proved himself
and he played well. To think that another young player
is going to step in and be able to do
the same thing, that's really asking a lot of a
young player with a lot of veteran superstars. Let me

(19:06):
throw a name at you, like Brock. That's what made
Rock Purty specials. He immediately won everybody over and he
played well, not everybody. He's gonna be able to do that.
Let me let me throw a name at you. And
you could say, well, been there, done that, but not really?
What if I said Sam Donald? Sam Donald was the
backup last year in San Francisco. Shanahan loves him, he

(19:27):
knows the system. Minnesota clearly is going to move forward
with JJ McCarthy at some point. And we've talked about
it the other day, like Minnesota really want to pay
Sam Donald when they know the future is somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
But now you're changing the question.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
But now, but yeah, what I'm saying, would you rather
pay a Donald or pay a party?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
But I think Donald comes cheaper than pretty really do you?
I think so?

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I think they're like even, yeah, I mean that, what
do I know? But that's that's what I would you
know what, let's let's.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Think that could leaving your guy in place with a
system that he's already perfected.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
I agree, Yeah, I think you keep Purty in that situation.
You know, a lot of people know it better than
him now. A lot of people that are seeing the
success of Sam Darnold nine and two in Minnesota right now,
you know what they're saying. Had he took over for
the Niners last year, he would have done exactly what
perty did. So your thoughts, what did the forty nine
ers do with the quarterback position? Assuming they don't make

(20:19):
the postseason? They don't somehow luck out sneak in and
maybe win a wildcard game. If the forty nine ers
are out nine and eight, eight and nine, well, is
there some buzz that brock Perdy you think is cramping
the forty nine ers?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Is that some of the bus I'm to talk today.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I just think the cramp is the money you'd have
to give him. And then you start thinking like, oh,
I'm what the Cowboys happen when they've paid Dackle that money?
And you know you see teams eating up so much
of their money with a QB and that's been the
Niners advantage.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
So your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Nope, no, man, maybe in midwek Major. You got the details?
All right? Well, Hey, let's go to your phone calls.
Let's wrap this up. Brock party.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
If you're the forty nine ers, John Key Yonish pop
out of the corner, what do you do? What would
you do if you're John Lynch. Hold On, you're asking
us right, you're the forty nine Ers fan told you
my opinion. You're always taking a risk. It's less risk,
more reward with Party. You know what he's gonna bring you,
bro You're gonna get someone else. You're taking a major risk.

(23:18):
I'm gonna invest. I'm gonna get a young quarterback who
may or may not show up, or we're gonna get
another quarterback and take that risk when you have the
rest of your team coming back healthy.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
What would you do as the fan?

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I want my cake and to eat it too. I
want brock Party to take like thirty million dollars, but
he won't. Like in my mind, I'm like, Yo, Baker
took thirty I don't think brock Party's a sixty million
dollar quarterback. So my answer, that's true on behalf of
Niners Nation, Bang Bang Niners guy. I think Brock Party
deserves star money. He's a he's a really good player.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
But is he a star. I don't think he's a star.
He's gonna star. He not the biggest.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
How many stars are on at tars. He's not a
He's a really good player. I think he deserves really
good player money.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Yeah, and rich too for both of you. Do you
think he's a top ten quarterback in the NFL right now?

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'd have to do that a little annoying thing where
I pulled a great question standing and.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Last month Sports Illustrated came out with an article they
ranked this season's quarterbacks. I'll let you guess where they
have them.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I'd have sixteen. I would say middle of the pack somewhere.
That would be my guess.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Buyer, guess on that for where SI ranked brock Perdy. Oh,
he's showing me. He's showing me ten. He thinks ten
or eleven.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
You know why?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Because yeah, he is very good, very productive. But is
he like how Cam Newton always viewed himself, Like a
difference made.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
In the simplest way. I'll zip through this.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Can we find ten quarterbacks we want more? Let's start
in the say Josh Allen, yes, Tua, I don't think so. Jets,
Patriots now Pittsburgh and no. Lamar Jackson yes, Joe Burrow yes,
C J. Stroud Yes, Indianapolis. I don't know Ted, I
mean no, No, I don't know Jacksonville, No, Kansas City, yes,

(25:16):
Mahomes justin Herbert yes, bow.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Nick is looking pretty good. Seven. I don't know that's it.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's a close one. Jalen Hurts, Yes, you know, Jayden Daniels, Yeah,
Jared Goff, Jack ye Goff, Yeah, Aaron Jordan love Man, Yeah.
I think he's I would say he's probably a twelve
or thirteen.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
What do you?

Speaker 1 (25:40):
What do you got?

Speaker 4 (25:41):
So last month s I ranked him this season as
number six. They say, so those of you who still
believe he's nothing more than a product of Kyle Shanahan's
scheme and playmakers, think again. He's propped up a Niners
team that has been crushed by injuries, and then it
gives his stats. Says at the time they were three
and three, he has an enormous chance to prove himself.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I'm just surprised they ranked him so high, but that's
exactly what I said.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
He had more.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
One could argue he's shown how good he is this
year with all the injuries, and he has in previous years.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Has he proven himself since that three and three moment? Though,
Rich because we're Nick Wright and other guys I've seen
lately on TV are arguing saying he's just average and
he's basically a mirror of the stars he has around
him on offense, so if they're missing, then you know
he doesn't step up as a superstar.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
I think you look at Rock Party and again, I'm
not avoiding the answer. Covino, thanks for calling me out.
I appreciate that because I didn't give my answer. But
my answer is simply, I don't think brock Party is
worth top tier money. I think if he's willing to
take a Baker Mayfield Daniel Jones' contract he took a
couple years ago. If you told me Rock Party four

(26:50):
years won sixty allah the Daniel Jones contract a couple
of years ago, sign me up. But I don't think
you give brock Purty sixty million dollars a year. That's
what you give a Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
That's what you give it. Josh Allen and Mahomes.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
A guy that changes Burro, the guy that changes the
game Rock Party.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Give him even I'll even say four years, one eighty.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Anything more than that, I'm drafting a quarterback said he's solid. Dude,
don't hate there. Forty five milk? Would you think that's
something to laugh at? If you go above forty five
for Brock Party I'm saying, Yo, Brock, thank you so much.
We're going to draft a quarterback and move along. Who
do we got, Danny g Let's go to your feedback.
If you're the Niners and John kin Jones popped out

(27:38):
with his big head, what would you do?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Let's start in Reno, Trevor.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Hey, Trevor, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 6 (27:46):
Fellas things?

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Think?

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Call?

Speaker 6 (27:47):
So I'm I'm Niners fan. I kind of agree with rich.
I hope that we can get him around that thirty
forty million a year range. But from what it sounds like,
I don't.

Speaker 7 (27:58):
Think he's saying he wants to reset the quarterback market.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
At least all the comments that I've heard haven't kind
of really entailed.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yeah, well, you know what I feel like, yo, bro
I feel like you and I are on the same
page with a lot of Niners fans.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
You want him to get paid, but I mean the
fifty sixty million dollars.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I don't think he's the type that chases the bag either.
He's not the Wan Soto of NFL players.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
You know. Again, his agents will probably steer him otherwise.
But he's been a.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Young kid, sort of humbled to be in this opportunity
surrounded by superstars from the get go. I can't imagine
him all of a sudden thinking he's at superstar pay
me level.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
In that way in the list you guys went over,
sounds like he'd be like twelve.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, I would feel like and if you want to
be generous because I was being a little hard on him.
You know, this guy's like CJ. Stroud that you could
argue better, but Brock's up there. I think Brock is
around ten, right, he's a top would you argue to
say he is a if you broke the quarterbacks into thirds,
top third, that he's better than Russell Wilson, better than
Russell Wilson, Russell, I would not take Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Okay, Danny g who's next?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
All right, let's go to Texas.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Dwayne, Yeah, Dwayne, what's up man? Hey? Dwayne?

Speaker 7 (29:06):
Hey, guys, Hey, when you mentioned that Sam Darnalk could
just walk in and take over brock Perty spot if
he's still around, I think you're really given a disservice
to Kevin O'Connell. He's really good at quarterbacks. Example was
the Josh Dopps type thing, and if they could get
Donald's for the mid level that you're talking about, thirty forty,

(29:27):
I would take down to heartbeat because he has a
seasoning of Kevin O'Connell under his belt.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, you know Kevin O'Connell. You know Kyle Shanahan is
you know, top tier coach. But they do say Kevin
O'Connell is like a quarterback whisperer, like Caesar Milanas to dogs.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
He is two quarterbacks? Who else?

Speaker 3 (29:45):
All right?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Michael in Iowa, Michael, what's up? Bro Hey, Mike Away, Hey, guys.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Hey, I think I should probably give Rock perty the
Daniel Jones type money, which is like forty five million dollars,
because obviously he's better than Daniel Jones. But a lot
of people forgot about Danie Jones is the fact that
he was I'm sorry, Rock Purty was the guy in
Iowa State for three or four years when he started.
There was no better guy. He was always keeping that

(30:11):
team afloat, always keeping the team within a cusp of
a big twelve championship or in a big total championship.
So that, you know, a lot of people forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
You could argue that Brock was drafted way lower than
he could have been there were people that thought Brock
should have been a second or third Realm pick to
begin with, but that's not how the cookie crumbled. He
was the final mister irrelevant pick, and that comes with
a stigma. It's like if you start in your job
in the mailroom, chances are you have to leave to
get respect somewhere else, because very few times does that

(30:39):
guy get the respect he deserves. To that Colors point
from Iowa, A lot was expected of brock Perty and
Breese Hall in their senior year and they underdelivered. They
went like seven to five in the regular season. I
think that was partially why he dropped, because they didn't
live up to they They beat Oregon in the festival
and the COVID year the year before that. So now
so makes him a great story though, because he proved otherwise.
So he'll get paid. It's how how much is he

(31:03):
willing to settle for and what is the best move
for the forty nine ers? Your feedback at Covino and
Rich and we'll get to the rest of your phone
calls and Spotify Unwrapped came out today. We're gonna do
our little sports version of that next. But first dB Dan.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Dan what says you, man?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Are you if you're John Lynch and you're the Niners
front office? Thirty five forty five fifty five? What is
the brock Party price tag?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (31:27):
I think it starts with a five. To be perfectly
honest with you, yeah, I do. I think that he
is a in a magnificent spot for leverage right now.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I'm not putting you on the spot, but answer this
the general question. If not the Niners, what heap beens
chasing brock Party?

Speaker 5 (31:44):
Though?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Like if the Niners like, yeah, no, thanks, is there
a team out there that's like, sweet, we'll get brock Party?

Speaker 8 (31:49):
You don't think the Giants would want him right now?

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (31:54):
I maybe, yeah, I think they would from what Danny's
point is, what seven? Was that the number that that
he had think about? Hey, think of the Browns. Wouldn't
you rather have a quarterback that? I mean, yards are there.
We've seen Jamis do what he does, but he's turning
it over.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
True, So maybe there is a home for Rock Saints
good one too.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
A lot of different spots.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (32:18):
Jacksonville is a spot, but there is news out of
Florida as the Jaguars who plays quarterback Trevor Lawrence on
injured reserve, effectively ending a season because of his concussion,
of course, suffered from that hit from Texans linebacker as
He's al Shire. Al Shire appealing the three game suspension. Today,
Ravens suspended wide receiver Deontae Johnson for one game for
conduct detrimental to the team after he refused to enter

(32:40):
the game against the Ravens this past weekend. Drew Lockett's
second straight started quarterback for the Giants as they faced
the Saints on Sunday. Some newsroom college football Oklahoma quarterback
Jackson Arnold is entering the transfer portal. USC linebackers coach
Matt Hens is going to be the next head coach
at Fresno State.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Well.

Speaker 8 (32:57):
USC head coach Lincoln Riley said today that I'm a
USC Trojan and this is the only place I want
to be. He making those comments after The Athletic reported
that UCF reached out to reps of Riley to see
if he'd be interested in being the Knight's head coach.
Sons forward Kevin Durant's gon to miss at least a
week of action because of a sprained ankle suffered in
Tuesday's win over the Spurs and the grand slam ball

(33:17):
hit by Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman has now gone
up for auction bid starting at three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Guys, back to you.

know what that is at this point? It came out
in twenty fifteen. It started in twenty fifteen as a thing,
and then they branded it as Spotify Unwrapped in twenty sixteen,

(36:40):
and it's basically your your year in review, and every
streaming service has provided you with some sort of year
in review. You're most listened to artists, you most listened
to song, that sort of thing. But it's a really
fun experience, like a little video. You're sitting there all
smiles watching your most listen to music bro in the
past year, and every year you look forward to it

(37:00):
and it's a fun day.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
And I got mine today.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
If you want to put a tingle in my holiday
dingle when I see people say, oh, here's my Spotify
Unwrapped and their number one podcast is convened on rich
Oh it's the best my goodness post that guests that.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Might win you a swiggy Danny Ja.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
If someone Spotify on Wrapped shows that wear their number
one podcast, you don't think that might earn a swiggy.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
My top five bands totally prove that I'm an angry,
divorced dad rock kind of guy. You know, Yes, Lincoln
Parks on there. Oh yeah, it is number five, Limp Biscuit.
It's like I'm a year two thousand or something. Number
four was Sir Sly. He's like an alt rock guy.
Number three Sublime because they were on tour this year
and I had introduced them to my daughter. I was

(37:44):
listening to a lot of Sublime this summer.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
That's her slice. Yeah, sur Sly is like an al
rock guy. Uh.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Number two was Lincoln Park as their new album came out.
I was listening to a lot of Lincoln Parks, saw
him live. My number one artist this year was a
guy named Des Rocks, and of all Peo, you.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Know who I was.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
How do you say introduced? Introduced to Des Rock by.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Dana White.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Yeah, Dana White used a lot of Dees Rocks for
the UFC this year, and he talked about him and
he said, Yo, you got to hear about this dude,
Des Rocks. I looked into him and I really got
into him, and he was my number one and based
on that thought based on your Spotify Unwrapped or your
Amazon Reveal or whatever streaming service you have, however it works.

(38:29):
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, because Danny g during our Preciow meeting, you
did point out, Yeah, when people do these lists, sometimes
they have a short memory and they forget that it's
a long year.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yeah, they're only thinking about the last couple like what
were last few moments.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
When you talk about 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 go number five. This is for me, Okay,

(39:15):
according to me, this is what I think.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Number five.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
I love when we make it like a Richt's You
know what I changed my answer.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Oh, you can't change a countdown mid countdown.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Has Spider Harris had ever done that? Because I know
what you're gonna say. Because if I say, Aaron Judging
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 was gonna leave him off.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
I'm leaving Judge off. Number five.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Lebron James, he did make the list because the whole
Bronny story was huge.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
Before that, the Olympics and the Olympics, yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
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?

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Number four went 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.

(40:25):
You have your list, don't you. I don't think we
have time for that. All right, got about ninety seconds here.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
I hate to say it. Aaron Rodgers still makes the list.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah, and I pointed that out to you guys. How
many pre show meetings have we had where I beg
you not to talk you.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Jee begs us not to bring up Aaron Rodgers because
he's such a big story all the time.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Sick of hearing about Aaron ro Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
I mean, it's just there's so many Jets storylines, the
hard knock stuff like, I mean everything, Aaron Rodgers for sure, number.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Two, number three. You skipped Umber three, didn't you? You
did five and four? Oh? No, okay, am I am?
I off here? Honestly we did. Brady, No, you did. Judge.
Judge was off just off Judge and I did.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Wait.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
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.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
I think you're right. When we come back, Covino and I.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Have our own top five man Spotify Unwrapped Athletes of
twenty twenty four. You're gonna get to mid Week made
you it spot a lot of really cool stories, uh
that are in the world of pop culture and sports.
