and let the wild Rump is starting. All right, Well today,
(03:07):
let me give you a little teas of things. I
know I want to get to sure. It's September baseball
as of today, so we are going to talk some baseball.
We are days away from the NFL beginning. It's the
first of the month, and how we got to talk
about some college football from this past weekend. And I
gotta say before we get into your observations and this
(03:28):
past weekend, shame on me because on September first, I'm
the idiot. I got a Starbucks. This morning, I got
a pumpkin muffin. Is it okay?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Now? Is it the football started?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm I allowed to have some time of pumpkinyl You
have the talate and the television taste of a teenager
and TikTok algorithm of a fifteen year old. My daughter's
a fifteen year old girl in high school, same taste,
buds as rich. She's the one excited about the new No, no,
(04:00):
you're telling me you don't spice everything. I'm not a
pumpkin spice guy. But you don't want to buy the muffin.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No, I'm saying, I got a muffin, A pumpkin muffin.
That means you fell into the trau and it means
you are son of them.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
All right, well, hey, over the weekend, but I'll have
a bite. Let's get into it now. This is the
time of year where you start busting out those hoodies.
This is the time of year football consumes your life.
This is the time of year. Every kid's officially back
in school starting this week. So it is a big
transition week, wonderful time. It really is, though of the
(04:35):
sports year, because you are getting ready for your baseball playoffs. Yea,
hopefully your team's in it. Lots of parody this year.
That's a big buzz, more parody than we've seen in
previous years.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
When it comes to baseball, there's.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
No I mean, you could argue the Brewers are you know,
leaps and bounds above everyone at this moment.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But you cann't say that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
But there's a part of every baseball fan it's like, Yeah,
this shoe's gonna drop, this fantasy's gonna stop.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Come on, excality's gonna kick in.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Telling me if they played the Dodgers in a series,
you wouldn't bet on the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well, that's how everybody feels. You know, we don't know,
they might be legit and that's what makes it fun.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But you know, baseball playoffs, you got college football, you
got NFL starting this Thursday. You got a big fight
on the horizon. You're like, who Jake, Paul No Canello, Crawford.
So there's lots going on. Basketball be here before we
know it. So and thank god you Yankees lost yesterday.
They were starting to look unbeatable and I was starting
(05:38):
to get a little nervous, can you know? And I
have a big bet Mets Yankees bet and just talking
about I know, I'm just you sound like the nervous Southerner.
But it is such a great time to be a
sports fan. So I ask you this, of all the
things you observed this weekend, it's a time, like I said,
(06:01):
for all those things, but it's also a time for overreactions.
And it's human nature. I can't deny it. We all
fall victim of overreacting. And it's gonna happen, Danny g
And within the next week in the NFL. I'm a
bigger NFL fan than I am College like by far same.
And you know it's gonna happen. A couple premier teams
(06:22):
are gonna lose Week one, and the narratives is gonna
be like, my goodness, did their window close or do
they not have it this year? And some trash team's
gonna win. I remember what it was last year the
garbage Saints. Remember they started like two and zero and
everyone's like, maybe even all so bad. No, they're bad.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh they were better than two and oh I think
they started yet they still pretty strong.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But anyway, I want to go over the overreactions and
which ones you think, well, maybe they aren't overreactions, Like
is is Kaylin de boor just not the answer in Alabama?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I mean they're already saying get this guy out of here.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
If you look back to last year, last three games,
there were one and two thirteen and a half point
favorites over Florida State, who looked like Doodoo Pie last year.
I mean, you gotta maybe credit Florida State for turning
around that program quick. But we're talking two touchdown favorites.
And the narrative was that this team is soft, run defense,
(07:19):
run offense, everything. Alabama just wasn't playing with any gusto,
no heart when it comes to Alabama. Aside from all that,
the viral thing was the meme of the year. It
was like a meme was born. It is some JABBRONI
holding up his middle finger looks like my brother in law, Chris.
This is like a sad college football fan and is
not the new face of Alabama.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I think it goes with your point, though, I was
like mem of the Year, Meme is born. Just started.
Season just started.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's why everybody needs to get a grip here, Arrowsmith
Style Get a Grip eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox when the NFL season starts, we do something called
things that made you go hmm right, your observations in
the world of football just all around in the weekend.
This weekend because NFL is not even here yet, we're
(08:10):
going to talk about, hey, are we moving too soon here?
Can you really make any assessment in the first week.
Like one of my favorite headlines rich over the weekend
was arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
This is a legit.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well I think it was a barstool headline, but you
know they come with a sense of humor, which I loves. Yeah, yeah,
but it is barstool, right, So a lot of people
saw it.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It is legitimate, but you know who's behind it, right.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The headline was I think he's ass text me and
I wasn't sure if it was his observation or a
topic for today's show. Arch Manning ask cheeks question mark,
arch Manning is cheeks meaning the bad kind hold on,
I gotta find you the actual headline because it was
(09:01):
really funny. But again, are we are we really moving
too soon? Can you really make an assessment? Is how
I feel about this. But that's the narrative we run
with as fans. Oh here it is. It's a picture
of arch manning right, and it says might be ass
And that's what everybody was quick to jump on. The
game wasn't even over yet, dude, that's what I meant about, Like, Yo,
(09:22):
we're really jumping the gun. The game was, it was
it wasn't even halftime, and the headline was he might
be ass.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I know what you guys are saying, but in fairness
to fans and media, you can only react to what's
in front of you at the moment, right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Right, And that is true, and that's that's absolute fact.
We need to keep that in mind. It's like, hey,
this is uh, this is all we got to work
with right now, right.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
But that made me laugh.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I was on the treadmill watching this and by the way,
just to paint a picture, we're out here in Los Angeles,
and were you running as lackluster as Alabama's run? Game
almost had a moment i ow most had a moment
feet on High in LA. I don't want to stereotype
or paint and broad strokes as I paint this picture.
But for whatever reason, it's not like it's not like
(10:13):
I give me a good sports city. Give props Saint Louis, Chicago,
you know, New York, Austin, New York where you know,
if you're at the gym or at the bar, everybody's
glued to that game. I had to have someone please,
can please we put college football on? It is why
are we watching news?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
One thing?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It drives me bonkers. You're at a gym, you would
think that it's part of their requirement as an employee, like, hey,
if there's something big going on, throw it on for
our customers. Like no one cares. And it's just the
vibe of Los Angeles. I love living out here in
Los Angeles, but it is one of those disconnects. And
we've been out here a decade now, but you go
(10:53):
to we you know, maybe it's because we don't go
to like a high end gym. I got to go
to twenty four hour fitness across the street, probably because
the people that get eight dollars an hour don't care.
But we're at twenty four fitness and you don't know
how many times I've had to say, can you put
something on?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
There?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It's a gym, right, so you would think that there's
some like minded people that want to be on the treadmill,
watch some sports or whatever. They should know what's going on.
Same with the local bar. You think John Taffer has
any patients for going into a bar and they don't
have the game on or a game on. So I
actually went out of my way. I said, hey, can
you put on? I saw the headline he might be asked,
(11:30):
I want to see how this game wraps up? Can
you put on the game? And I had the game on?
Some old guy? True story? Tell me if this is legitimate.
Some old guy? What is he had quitters on?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You know?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Quitters are tube socks that were down in his ankles
because they were like the elastic was done, so they
quit on him years ago and he's still rocking. Old
guy with quitters in a headband like it looked like
a la hobo comes you know, into the gym and
he starts.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
He brought his own remote control.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Like let's say it's direct TV. I don't know what
they used the gym. He had his own direct TV
from his house or whatever control, pulls it out of
his bag and he starts changing the channel of the
TV that I was watching.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was ready to, like to get off my treadmill
and give him a karate kick to the sternum, but
I realized he was really old.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Is that even allowed? Dude? That's what I was saying,
Is that like a baller movie?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Dude? I can't, Well, I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Are you sure you weren't exercising next to the owner
of the gym?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I had, like I had, I felt this guy because
he probably went in there one too many times and
he was.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Like I've had enough.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And he's like he took matters into his own hands,
brought his own control because no one cares there. And
you know, I had to look at him like now
I'm watching this, and I gave him a friendly look
and he realized, so he went to another TV and
changed that channel. I was like, thank goodness. But the
point here is arch Manning.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Is he asked or not? That's the point.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, the point is the overreactions we're all going to make.
But you can just simply say, ohio, State's defense is elite.
But I will say that while some were glued again,
I'm more of an NFL guy. Can't watch every game,
but I did set the DVR and said, I'm gonna
skim through this one.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It is Texas, it is Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But I realized I started coaching my kids on the
weekend soon for fall sports, and I said, you know,
it's the less one than I could have to myself.
So I went to go play softball with my buddies
and one of the guys goes, anyone interested in hearing
the score in Texas Ohio State at halftime? And people
are like, yeah, I guess so yeah. A lot of
guys were DVR it seven to nothing Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
We're like, who wait, wait, what's arch Manning doing?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It? Really was, it really was disappointing if you thought
it was going to be arch Manning on this scip
I was reading the subtitles at the gym before you know,
old man McGirt changed the channel on me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Only claimants came in and.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Said, hey, you know, Ohio State is they wouldn't let
the leash off him. It's like, let him off the leash,
let him do his thing let him throw and by
the time they let him do that, like the game
was over, It's like, yeah, why do you let him
do that in the beginning of the game.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
But he looked flustered for a lot of the game.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's Ohio State's defense, right.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
There were a lot of Uncle Rico gifts and memes
coming out because of his throwing motion on a few
of those passes.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So I kind of hate that too, and it is noticeable,
But he comes from a good line of quarterbacks. I
don't know, you know what, It's insane to see how
much goes into the quarterback throwing angle and arm positioning
and all these little things we would never think of.
And when you watch Hard Knocks, you got to see
(14:47):
what they go through with Josh Allen and all the
qbs there as far as like just angle and efficiency
and all these things, and everyone thinks they know everything.
But the same way, you see, he didn't play his
best game, the same way you see rookie quarterbacks struggle
when they enter the NFL. And maybe we were wrong
to think arch Manning, you know, I mean, I know
(15:08):
he played last year. We watched him last year, but
not all the time. Obviously, he had a couple of
games when you wears was hurt. Did we expect Arch
Manning to come in and just light up Ohio State?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Who's really good?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Teemed like maybe we just were mesmerized and almost glamored
a little bit by the by just the name Manning,
like hours time, like we were last week before he
even made his season debut. The minute Michael Parsons left
for Green Bay, We're like, oh, there's a narrative that
Dallas might you know, just the we build a story
(15:42):
to tear it down. That's just the culture that we
live in. And we've been building up this story of
oh Cooper, you know, his run fell short. He could
have been the greatest of all the Mannings, and he
was a great receiver, and this is his son carrying
on the name, and everybody loves the story.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So yeah, but Texas came in right right number one.
So there you go. I mean, Manning's not the whole
story here. He's not the team. It was one.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It was true, but you're that that's a sexy name
to tune in for, no doubt, and you've been hearing
about it so long, So is it a matter of
he's ass he's cheeks or Ohio State's defense was great.
Are we overreacting? That's really what we are getting at,
reacting the other thing. Yeah, let's go over what is
the biggest over CJ. Daniels catch? Are we overreacting?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I don't know. That was sick.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Okay, it was sick, and it's made other NFL players
famous overnight. O'Dell Beckham Junior he lived for years off
of that one catch. It really was not saying he
was a bed wide receiver by any means, but Odell
Beckham Junior, his whole legacy is based off of some
circus catches. One in particular, that, dude, if God gives you,
(16:51):
or if life gives you a moment, run with it
for as long as you can.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Look.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I hit twenty seven little league home runs. I ran
with that all the way to the Dan Patrick Show.
Ran you're still running, still running with that. That's my point,
and look at me. I'm in for DP well because
of those little home runs. That gave me a sense
of false confidence, and it gave me some some chatter,
and I ran with it. Only Jay had that moment,
(17:20):
and yeah, he was a great receiver, but he leaned
into that for as long as he could as he should.
Daniels catch was was very close to that. So here's
here's why I bring it up the rich It was
one of the highlights. But remember the theme Arch manning.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
CJ. Daniels.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
What they're saying is is that the catch of the year.
Can you in the first game. It reminds me of
when you come in in January. We overreact now in
like January February and communis like fight of the year.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm like, you just started.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's a good point. But sometimes you see some magic
right off the bat. You can't top that. Like, are
we going to look back at this season and say, yeah,
that was it?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And it was? It was week one A CJ. Daniels
had to play of the year.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
If it put OBJ on the map the way that
it did, we still remember it. We still talk about,
Oh the kid, Yeah, he's got to lean into it.
Milk it for what it's worth. You know, you're the
OBJ of college football. We might have seen the play
of the year week what well, what was your big overreaction?
What do you think it is? Is it Kaylee Debor
(18:25):
and Alabama? I think the overreaction is Arch Manning's ass Yeah,
maybe Ohio State's defense. Maybe they're just really good, I think,
And there's a lot of pressure on this kid. You know,
I don't think he's ass Texas. I think it's funny
and I think you know, we all thought, man he's asked,
But you know, I think that's it's way too soon
(18:45):
to make that as Arch Manning assessment. Arch Manning seventeen
for thirty, one touchdown, one interception, one hundred and seventy yards.
How do you think he's going to fare this coming
Saturday against San Jose State when Texas is favored by
thirty seven points, So we'll be wondering he's about to
(19:08):
He's about to put up circus numbers, and you know
Texas went into Week one rank number one.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Any college football fans are not going to respect that
until it's up against one of the real contenders. Danny,
You're one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
But I think now he'll have a moment to start
to start patting those stats. And I'll tell you when
people will start caring. They'll start caring first weekend of
October when they play Florida or when they play Oklahoma
the weekend after.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But the next couple of weeks. You know what, I
noticed it too.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's time for arch Maanning to get loose play some low,
lower level teams. But overreaction arch Manning's ass overreaction or not?
Caitlin de Boor in Alabama over before it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Sort of even started.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
CJ Daniels Catch of the Year first week. You know,
I think I don't think that's an overreaction. I think
that play, like I said, it made other NFL stars
superstars overnight. I don't think that's an overreaction. It was
a really great Yeah. I think it was a snag,
a grab or it was a snag.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, a stretched out snag.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I think that's probably the one thing where we will
look back at week one and be like, yeah, that
still stands.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I agree, I don't think that's an overreaction. So what
were your overreactions that you noticed over the weekend? Something
else that I just noticed. And by the way, the
numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Rich, I feel like there's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
In our demo, if not people listening, that live this
life already where you're living that Dad life of running
around taking your kid to travel league, and he's just
trying to be super dad, trying to do a million
and one things. You're trying to maintain your house. You're
trying to rake the leaves, mow the lawn. I had
(21:00):
to coach the team, but you're also trying to like
have a nice barbecue.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And watch the game or whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
You just got so many things going on you can't
be at all these places. Like Ohio State played a
big game this weekend, and I know my brother in law,
who's the biggest fan ever, couldn't even watch it because
he's at his kids game. And that's got to be
like tough when you only live so strong for that
one team, like that's my brother in law's team. And
I understand your kid comes first, that's obvious, but that
(21:29):
is like, damn, I can't even watch them beat arch
Manning in this way. Well, to me, the NFL on Sundays,
we have been conditioned. And probably because I didn't grow
up in a college football town.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I grew up in New York.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You grew up in Jersey, Danny out here in LA.
That's my point, Like these college games are so big,
everyone matters so much. But this was such a rivalry.
And my brother's there like giving up my brother in
law's giving orange slices to his kid, missing the whole thing,
playing flag football with the son. Yeah again those moments.
I'm not downplaying those moments. I'm just saying, like, ah, yeah,
(22:06):
you right all year just to watch that game. You
can't even watch it. I mean, I know there's USC
and UCLA and there was gonna say I grew up
with the Pete Carroll Trojans. Yeah, but to me, like
where we grew up, no one cared about college football
even slightly compared to the NFL.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
It was a big deal here in southern California because
of Reggie Bush.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
And but I'm saying, like, when you look at like
Kevino said, let's be honest, if you're a family man,
have kids, even you know, in any circumstance, to me,
Sunday is mentally reserved for NFL football, wives, husbands, kids.
People sort of acknowledge like Sunday it's also church day.
So there's people who go to church, like it's almost
that they have rest slash football, right, Yeah, But if
(22:45):
Saturday is something important going on, like there's that struggle
of it is.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It is very tough. I can't even sit back and
watch the games today.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It is very tough if you're a family man to
say a selfish little bee to say Saturdays like.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
To watch the game. It's impossible. Now I gotta go
to the king. Now I gotta go to my kids game.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I feel like a little little b You do you
do because you know the right thing is just to
go to your kids game. And it's great. I'm not
saying that's not fun. It's fun, and it's it's mandatory.
I like that more than football. Yeah, of course, but
there's this like, ah, man, I waited all year just
to watch this game.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I can't even watch It's but I noticed that with
a lot of my friends, and you guys aren't real
football fans. Man. This is why my kid does taekwondo
on Wednesdays.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, you know, I'm serious, Like, I'm like, how did
you I'm at the gym watching Ohio State. The biggest
Ohio State fan I know can't even watch it. And
it's not the same. You can't watch it later. Social
media ruins everything. You can't watch it later, so you're
overreactions from the weekend, what you feel social media was
(23:52):
overreacting on your observations and more. There's also some BS
fights we could talk about, but we have lots to
get to. Tod again in for Dan Patrick, we're gonna
talk some NFL. We're gonna play a game called Covino.
That's me or Belichick. Guess you guys like the same guy.
Apparently we're the same dude. You know it's interesting tonight
prizes tonight there's a football game that oh that's a
(24:14):
big one that I think there's a discrepancy of like
why people are going to watch it, And I'll explain
it has to do with Belichick and Jordan Hudson. So
we'll get to that in a bunch. More NFL, some
college football, and of course we're big baseball guys. So
baseball it's it's the playoff run now man September baseball.
You can't turn back now September baseball.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
So we got when you.

(26:34):
find out both grumpy guys dating younger women named Jordan.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh and that's not where it stops.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
And we developed this game a while back because do
you remember maybe now it's like six months to a
year ago, when Belichick was doing like yoga on the
beach picking up his girlfriend. Yeah, I have since then
copied that move, making us even more like, which makes
the game more difficult?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Coveno Belichick? Stick around for that. We got to talk
NFL and ticket prices and why Rich hates football. We'll
expl hateful, We'll explain Rich hates football. I live for football,
as I said on Ted Lessel, football in his life.
But you'll be double tucking Dickie in a few minutes.
You'll see why. But wrapping up right now, what the
biggest overreactions were this weekend doesn't have to be just
(27:22):
in college football, but Arch Manning is the ass uh CJ.
Daniels catch of the year in the first week. What
are the other overreactions? Like I said, it could be
in life, It could be in entertainment, could be in
something you watched. Like I'll give you a basic one.
I saw a lot of buzz of people saying and
(27:43):
this is no knock on the actual event. This is
a knock on the documentary. You gotta see the Katrina documentary. Man,
Hurricane Katrina.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You gotta watch it.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Man twenty hell in high Water and I get all amped.
I'm like, I can't believe that's twenty years yo. You
had to like smack me in a face five times
to finish that last episode. Dude, Yeah, I throw the
last episode out the window. Last episode prior to that though,
prior to that it was witch episode.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Does Kanye West say, George Bush does it like Black People? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I think it's the second. Yeah, that was twenty years ago.
Here's am I bringing that up. I'm trying to point
out that. Yeah, it was horrible, but the oh the documentary.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, the final episode was just interviews with the documentary. Yeah,
it was an overreaction.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was so great. You got to watch it. Look,
the events were horrific. That's not my point. And I
can't believe it's twenty years first two episodes were good,
that last one. If you want to stop there, then okay,
now you gotta Now you got a point. People love
to just overreact to things. Here's another react overreaction nonsports
related over the weekend in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, the Wizard.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Of Oz was real, least at the sphere. My mom
hit me up and he's like, Richie, can you take me?
It's my mom. My mom wants to meet me in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Well, people are saying that it shouldn't even be considered
like Wizard of I should be called the Wizard of
Oz experience because they took out thirty minutes and they
used artificial intelligence to fill in the space. Right, So
it's a it's a whole different thing. And it's just
over an hour. So they cut out a lot what
I don't know. It was cut out exactly a lot
of the plot. So sorry talking apple trees, but no,
(29:31):
that's in because they had apples falling out of the sky.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I was gonna say that, you smoke. It's for the
fake snow coming down on the audience. But dude, the
biggest overreaction was like, it sucks. Henry got cut soucks.
Uncle Henry's out. HEYI sucks. It looks artificial. It's not
how the movie was meant to be. Sucks. I thought
it looked.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Amazing, and I'm like thinking, man, what a great reason
to take your mom out or this is like to
see this beautiful event. I feel like this is one
of those things where like, if your parents are if
you're lucky enough to still have them around, maybe this
is something you tell your parents till you're in the
I have a tornado. You're watching this beautiful film from
nineteen thirty nine. With AI technology of today, you're experiencing
(30:19):
something no one ever experienced before. You're seeing what's her
last name, Gail, Dorothy Gail and Crystal Clear vision like
you complaining about it because of the ethics, and they
get out of my face.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Please tell me.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
People are so quick to dump on it didn't instead
of did the Lollipop Guild not make the cut?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
They didn't like them? So you know, why were there
so many empty seats?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I know, yo, there were so many people all of
a sudden had.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
This in comments that everyone's saying, look at all the
empty seats. It wasn't like this was magical. Of course
I saw a few like this was magical, how cool?
Ten out of ten blah blah blah. Ninety percent of
everything I saw was this is the weakest.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It's like people that weren't even there, see you don't
have they had their opinion on why that sucks. That's
funny the algorithm, because mine was everyone making it seem
like it was the most miraculous thing ever. Well mark
my words on what they're saying, because there's a there's
a fine line of what is okay and what's not
when it comes to AI and they said they filled
in a lot of the blank space with like nothing
like computerized garbage and it ruined the fill and blah
(31:20):
blah blah. And like I said, they edited it so
you didn't even know that. You really didn't see a
one clip where when but when Glinda comes down the
bubble they do all this like sparkle nonsense. And my
point is we live in a world of overreacting because
if you're not reacting enough, no one cares about what
you have to say on social media. It's a it's
(31:41):
an oversaturated that's a great point world we live in
and can space. You'll get no attention and there's no buzz.
If you go good, it was all right, you have
to say it sucked ass or it was the greatest
thing ever, because anything in between will get no attention.
Anything less is uncivilized. That's why the headline has to
(32:01):
be arch Manning is ass because if it was just
if the if the headline was in the game wasn't
even over yet the headline was yeah, a rough start
for arch Manning. I'm sure he'll be just fine. That's
not a fun you gotta declare him cheeks. So we
live in a world of overreacting. We need to take
everything with a grain of salt, whatever that means. But
that's the truth. Well, because there's not a lot of uh,
(32:24):
not a lot of credibility and wow, you didn't even
see it. You're going based on other people's reactions, and
you know, you're in the first week of college football.
So it could be an entertainment, it could be in life.
People I think overreacted to the Katrina documentary. Wasn't that great?
No offense?
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Didn't Spike Lee do that? No offense?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
He's he's great. Say it's it's hard for me to
want to let it's a while. If there was a
while where I used to watch a ton of nine
to eleven documentaries and like then you start feeling all said,
like why am I watching?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Like why am I?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Why do we keep Readliving sadness? Like the Katrina documentary.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know, the first couple episodes were really good and
reminders about how that region still needs help.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, that's that's important, and how things could be mismanaged
and maybe fixed type of thing. I guess, right, yeah,
but rich as it went on like way long, and
now that that that happens, sometimes you see a documentary
that's like three or four party. You're like, they could
have done in two or three, right, I hear you could.
I get all the reactions. It's a world we live in.
Is it an over reaction enough for me to say,
because they played Nevada, shout out to our friends that
(33:25):
are fans of the Nitny Lyons Penn State looking dominant,
please please say Nevada, Nevada, Danny.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It's like I saw people giving my buddy, are you
going to do next day Washington?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No. I saw I saw people our buddy KFC from
barstool was talking about Oregon, and every comment didn't care
about what he said. They're like, all right, first of all,
say it right Oregone. Rich also says turlet. I don't
say turlet. My grandfather did though the toilet, but the
Nitny Lions Penn State Nevada. I know that game was
(33:56):
a blowout. I'll tell you why because we my wife
and I went to a friend's house. You know when
you're hanging with you know, other grown men, and you're like, oh,
put the game on, and the game is such a
blowout that you're like, oh, you know what, let's just
talk because this has not even worth watching it was,
So you mean to tell me Rich Davis, sir yaps
alot would rather talk than watch the game.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Come on. True story.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
But I think I actually, I think I have a
better remote control story than you, if you miss Yours
involved Colin Quinn and a young Adam Sandler. No, not
a different remote control. Covino was saying, at the gym,
some old dude broke out his own remote control and
start of changing the TVs at the gym.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah, and he.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Started to change mind when I'm sitting there trying to
do two things at once, burn some calories and watch
arch Manning because I heard he was ass. So we
were hanging on Saturday at our friend's house. We got
some good friends. You know how a lot of parents
make friends. You just meet good people through your kids' sports.
(34:58):
And we met a bunch of good people that their
kids play baseball with my son.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
When you say that, you know what I think of.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
No matter how hard you fight it, you're still a
product of your own family and product of your own
parents in your own environment. Because my parents were never
wance to hobnob with other parents. And when you talk
about it, I'm like Yeah, that's not what I'm into
at all. Now. We had a great party at our
friends because monkey see monkey do your parents did that.
They hobnobbed with all the other parents and they became
(35:27):
best buds and their party and every weekend. I never
saw my parents do that, and for whatever reason, and
it's probably that I have no interest.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
In that, but I can't.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
I can't, although it's nice, but I just can't understand,
like how that would to just be the natural progression.
Your kids hang out with their buddies on their little
league team, their parents are cool. I just never saw
my limily doff and they say, hey, we're having a barbecue.
I come from a long line of anti social Covinos.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I guess I don't know. So I got like, no
one ever invites you anywhere. No I had, we had.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
My parents were the ones that had people over their house.
It was usually family. I'm from a big Mexican Italian family.
There's always cousins and family and uncles and like ancillary
characters that were just hanging around, you know, never us
going to other parents' house drinking margarita's. Like that was
never the vibe for me, although I was always playing
with the wall in my own backyard. All the moms
got pretty crashed. It was pretty fun, that's what I
(36:19):
mean talking about each other.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
My parents were part of that.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
But so he just sat home with your family. Yes,
that's why you have family. My parents had five kids.
I don't think other people wanted they play with other kids. Yeah,
we play with each other and all our cousins. You know,
like you didn't go over the go. You played little
league or pony mall or basketball. Come from a long
line of hob knombers like you. I'm serious, and I
say that respectful with your sisters. I played with neighborhood kids.
(36:44):
I was never like, you know, my parents are hanging
out with the Johnson's tonight. That was never any I witnessed.
I said, I had a better remote story. I'll make
it snappy so we can move on to something that matters,
like NFL and some baseball. But so, you know, those
little kids run around this family's house and it's first
weekend of college football, right And I got a phone
(37:05):
call last night like, hey man, I know this is
a long shot.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
But you know, you guys were over here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
It was one of the families had a little kid
who was like two years old, who was just putting
things everywhere. You know, one of those you know, little
kid Danny, you got to you got color who's two
years old? Right?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Your son's two now two and a half.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
He just turned two a couple of weeks ago. But
he's got the foot of a eighth grader. This guy
that whose house we went over the other night, I'm sorry,
two feet. It's not just one big foot, he's got
two big feet. The guy's house we went over the
other night. All day he looked around for his remote control.
Thought he was losing his mind. He's like, I can't
watch he couldn't turned on his TV to watch football.
(37:46):
He's like, where the hell they ordered a new remote?
He goes, can you just check? I went kind of
what does he use? He can light download on his phone?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
What?
Speaker 1 (37:53):
He sort of Gabroni's who you're hanging with. Download the
remote to whatever service you have on your phone and
you'll always have it. I'm sure it is a remote
you could download like a ro cool remote on your phone.
I mean, I have an Amazon Fire one on my phone.
I'm sure you could well. Anyway, it turns out remote
in my pool bag. This little kid was just putting
things with everyone else's bag. I'm like, I doubt I
have your remote.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Let me walk.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I looked at my I looked at my wife's pool
bag that we brought to their house. There was coasters,
a remote control, and.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Like, yes, you know he probably saw this and said,
I wish my dad would pay attention to me.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Let me hide this thing. All right, Well, hey we
got more Covino on Rich. We got to start diving in.
We are days away from Week one of the NFL,
so we'll talk a lot of NFL give away, some prizes,
and of course some baseball all coming up in for
Dan Patrick, Covino and Rich.

(39:26):
email you and give you a bribery ball because we
bribe people to check out our show. We got brand
new nerve. Football's coming in and we'll be given some
weight today. I'm so excited that I hadn't really looked
and I know that the lines weren't really set the
way I wanted to see them until now. NFL are
(39:47):
we gambling week one and we dive in in. Is
this an easy week? You know a lot of times,
a lot of times people say the beginning of the
season might be, might be the easiest to try to
get ahead and win some money. And there's a couple
of games I'm loving ready, But you know what, Danny,
we'll talk about gambling later. I want to talk about
this meme you sent us that just proves a point
I have about the NFL. It's the NFL's most expensive seats.
(40:13):
Danny g was super producing. He was like, yeah, these
are the top when it comes to average ticket prices.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
First of all, I don't sound anything like that, not
like that.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
So what do you think they are NFL's most expensive seats?
And you know, I'm looking at the list here are
you surprised by? It is the question, what do you
think they are? I'm not surprised, but I do think
that the NFL experience is not worth what these ticket
(40:45):
prices are. I find that interesting. From the biggest NFL fan,
I gotta point that out. You know what, I have
a whole list of reasons why. But when you think
about the experience you get from the actual game this
which is what you get at home. Yeah, there's a
difference between the game and the experience overall. And I'm
(41:09):
a big believer that the NFL provides a cool vibe
and the game itself sort of stinks live compared to
other sports.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
And the more and more I go to games and
you got a playoff games or Super Bowls or regular
season games even.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
You realize you miss so much.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I feel like you miss so much of an NFL game.
A lot of people invest in their home for that
great experience. It's like, man, you built an outside barbecue pit,
you got all this patio furniture, you got to outside television,
you got the sweet new couch. What is that love
sack you got there? You got a whole sweet setup
for the game. It's kind of hard to top that
(41:50):
with hard seats and binocular So I have a theory
on why the NFL is like, well, at the same time,
an amazing experience, the worst of all four majors.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, we're going to this.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, well you know what to get ready, Fox Sports
Radio Nation things. So we'll talk about the We'll give
you the top four most expensive stadiums and tickets. Plus
we'll go over what sport might be the best to
watch live and you might want to sit some of
these out and stay home. We'll get to that and
a bunch more Week one of the NFL, A lot
of that coming up as well. More Convenent rich In
(42:24):
for Dan Patrick
