Speaker 1 (01:26):

Speaker 2 (01:31):
We all watched Billy Madison one hundred times in the nineties. Right,
go ahead, means the next line? What's the next line? Oh?
I got my backpack on my shoes tight tight. I
hope I don't get in a fire. Back to school.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I think that is.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
So as you see kids go back to school. Let's
see how w R.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
What do you remember from your college days of watching
Billy Madison on VHS tape? What about it? My question is,
can you name three teachers from the movie? Well, Miss
Slippy definitely Miss Lippy, Miss Slippy and her finger paintings,
Veronica vaugh so hot, want to touch the Heini and

(02:16):
I have to know another one. Yeah, oh, principal, that guy,
the horny guy p s. I'm Hornie. Yeah him, Oh,
the revolting blob and principal and that the third year alright,
kind of one. Thank you, Danny g was my life.
Look at me the assist, the alp. That guy was

(02:37):
so horny spell Zuto. All right, So before we get
into Denzel Washington, best actor ever, has something to say
about sports and sports broadcasting talking heads. He calls him opinionaires.
Before we get into that, I'm telling you a true story,

(02:58):
and I'm super to myself or is it so kind
of myself? Because it wasn't the time and place I
went to a beautiful celebration of life. I went to
my girlfriend's grandma, who's like a mom to her. I
can't see funerals a celebration of life. Right, we passed away.
She passed away months ago and ago, and her request was,

(03:20):
when I'm gone, I want the family to all get
together here because this was my favorite place, which i'd
never been idea Lake Tahoe in a beautiful cabin, beautiful setting.
I had never been here. I was blown away. That's
a whole other story, Like, hey, why have you I've
been in California for seventeen years. No one's like, have
you been to Lake Tahoe because it was amazing. Of course,

(03:42):
I've heard of it, and I knew in my head
it was probably beautiful, but my goodness, next level. So
I'm there and we're all celebrating the life of this
wonderful woman, Grandma. Yeah, and there was a guy there,
clearly the coolest guy in the room. And I say
that respectfully, and I mean it like this guy, I
was the guy who seemed to be the coolest one there, right,

(04:04):
And I say, who knows cool more than you? I mean,
I got that sort of radar going on. My god,
that's the cool guy. We should probably chop it up
a little bit. So I say that because he really
was a cool dude. He really was. I had met
him for the first time. He was there and he
was wearing I'm not exaggerating, I thought Ken Kevin Eddie
walked in.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
He was wearing he was wearing.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
A Padre's jersey, a Padre's T shirt underneath, and a
Padre's hat. So I pulled the automatic obvious big Padres man.
I thought that was a no fail. Hey, man, what
a year they're having. Man, they're putting the Dodgers in
their place. I thought this was going to be a
full on yo Fernando tatis am I right conversation. But

(04:47):
of course nothing is ever as it seems. And he
says to me respectfully because he was a cool guy.
He says, nah, I'm actually a fan of both. And
I said, but what do you mean both the Dodgers
and the Padres what?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, I was like huh, and in my natural instinct
kicked in where I'm like, you can't. But then I
realized I don't know this man that well. By the way,
didn't this backfar with you recently? Also where someone was
wearing a band T shirt is so funny and you
had a flesh bread and you tried to make small
talk and you're like, oh big, they had like a
rush shirt. I went to get like a some bodyworker

(05:24):
praised on my car. Right, this is an endorsement for
make should have went to Maco. I went to SOMEBRONI
I think when you went to the body shop, I
thought that was the strip club of La No. I
actually went to, uh, this like weird body shop somewhere
because someone knew a guy. And this is before I
knew about the great deals of Maco. I walk up
that guy. The guy has a full on Kiss T

(05:46):
shirt right, and he had all these tattoos, and he
looked like a roadie from the nineteen eighties, you know,
the like I'm talking about. Like, it looked like he
was on the road with Kiss back in the late
seventies early eighties.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Rights.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Has he got a legitimate hurt hasn't updated his hairstyle
since eighty eight? Yeah, he looked like, again, a roady
from a rock band. He had a Kiss T shirt
on and I was like, yo, man, big Kiss fan.
He's like, no, I've got this out of the thrift shop.
I was like, well, all right. He's like, I hate
and then he goes on and tell me how he
started hates the man Kiss. I'm like, why are.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
You wearing the shirt?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I was just trying to make small talk. I really
don't care. How much are you charging me for this
body work? So again, never judge a book byites cover.
Nothing's what it seems avoids small talk. Because I go
to this guy Padres Huh. He goes, well, yeah, but nah.
I'm like, what do you mean? But yeah? But nah?
He's like I like both, I'm like, and I did

(06:42):
I said you can, I said, they're rivals. He's like, nah,
he goes, think about it. You know, whoever win, I
still win, And I'm like, yeah, but that's not how
it works. But then again, I'm not trying to like
whoever wins, I win. Yeah, I wish your bets. No,
but here's how he explained. I wish I could have
that mentality because it's a full It's like, it's brilliant
but stupid, he said. When he said to me, though,

(07:03):
it all made sense in the moment, and then it
also clicked to me, like I'm not going to debate
this guy.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
We just met. He's a cool guy. He was cool
and I really did like him.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
And we're at like a celebration of life, not the
time or place to be like, no, man, it's not
how it works. So he said, think about it logistically,
He's like, I'm not the only guy. There's a lot
of us. Maybe people don't advertise it the way I do.
I'm just real about who I am. He goes, I
lived in La I moved to San Diego. Like, geographically
it makes sense. I'm from La so I grew up

(07:33):
loving the Dodgers. But I really don't say Diego.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
What he said, Okay, but I take offense to this
as a lifelong Dodgers fan. Yeah, yeah, Dodgers fans always
take over almost half that stadium. And of course it's
changed a little bit here in the past couple of
years with Lord Padres.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Fansres fans have got up pretty They've been developing a
pretty cool homeful advantage.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Because they used to be calm and cool. Now they're
allowed a little bit of brace sometimes outspoken. Covino's favorite
rappers are Padres fans.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
That's what's it.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
But if I moved to San Diego, which is a
beautiful city, but if I moved there, I would stay
a true blue Dodgers fan and go to their stadium
and represent as a Dodgers fan. Now, you if you
didn't have a team and you moved to a new
city and you took on their personality and their team,
I get that. But if you have a team already,
you don't go to a rival and also become a

(08:31):
fan of their team.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
And that's why I brought this up to not to
call out this dude, but a to say how how
proud I am of myself to have the restraint to
really dive into that and just let it slide again
time and place proudly. But how this might be the
greatest example of no, especially now because that rivalry is.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
So strong, and are playing this weekend.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's like, are you kidding me? You're playing tonight?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Padre's on the loose.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
What's up? Good? Let me tell you the Padres Dodgers.
Impossible to like both? Well, here's my thought. My thought is, like,
I get it.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You move and you may be.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Adapt to the new city, but changing your sports teams
is like something that is just that's within you. I
know that sounds dramatic, but like, I'm a New Yorker,
I've been in Los Angeles for ten years. I'm a
Mets fan. I can't like it would be very easy
for me to be like to let me just root
for the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
They've been great.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
But what do you do? Do you just give up
on who you like? I don't get I don't get
that mindset. I question whether or not you're really a fan. Yeah,
I don't know. Man. He was all decked out, Like
we said, imagine going to imagine being a New Yorker
and being like, you know what, I'm a big Giants fan.
I thought Tony Gwinn was at the party. I'm a
big Giants fan, you know what. I went to college
at Villanova, spent some time down in the Philly area.

(10:00):
I also like the Eagles. You can't like the Eagles
and the Giants. You can't like my.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Padre compromises this and the Dodgers. I'm a Yankees fan.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I was like, I don't hate the Mets, but with
the whole Soto thing, now, I'm definitely not rooting for
them at all. It's the most I ever hated them. Yeah,
and even the Mets and Yankees aren't rivals. It's more
of like a city alliance thing.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Like Dodgers Padres might be. It's a top three Like,
you can't do that, but he did.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know what It's like. You know, a lot of
teams Danny won't trade honestly within their division because it
just feels wrong. A lot of GMS and a lot
of teams like are reluctant to perhaps trade players within
a division because it just seems like odd, right, like
you don't want to give someone something or rich.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
You're one of the biggest Niners fans that I know,
and because of that I pay attention a little bit
to you to that team now over the past five years.
But that would be like you moving to Seattle and
we're on some big radio station in Seattle or something
like that, and you start becoming a Seahawks fan too,
and you wear a Seahawks hat and a Niner shirt.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
It's bs.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's like you ever see a politician throw on the
hat of a team in a city, like and you're
like just full blowney stop it. It's so disingenuous. Nothing
bothers me more than a politician.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Then Juliani do that, like with a team other than
the Yankees. I believe we caught recently Rick Patino and
Sebastian Maniscalco trying to root for both the Cubs of
White Sox or the Yankees and the Mets. Yeah, you're
really not ingrained on the rivalry and what's really going on.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
And and Sebastian, with all due respect, I love Sebastian.
He's actually a friend of the show from Yeah, but
a bunch of gog. He's not a big sports guy.
He's more of like a comedy music guy, like a
dancing comedian. Yeah, I mean like he's a funny guy.
But how come he's never come on our show. I
can't like friends. Oh he's big time. Just now he
can't be a Cubs fan and a White Sox fan.

(11:55):
It just it just feels wrong. Like I get it
because there are some people that are like I like
both everybody. Scott out here one of one of the
dads at the school I really like, and he's like,
he has an Angel's happened. He's like, Oh, I like
the Dodgers too. Is that okay, Danny? Because it's a
L N L and the it's not as bad. It's
it's more understandable, it's not as bad, and it's the

(12:17):
true story. That's why I shared it. We've debated these
type of things in the past, but this one's very particular,
and it's more about honestly, it's more about knowing when
to dive into these conversations. Sometimes you let things slide.
Guys like Rich can't let things slide. Rich is the
kind of guy that he's at the barber shop and
he hears someone say something wrong and he jumps out
of left field, like he's making all these basics.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
You're like, slide out of left field. Yeah, I can't
handle it.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
If I hear someone say comes out of left field,
like he's Jason Domingaz to correct the guy. I can't
stand by while someone says foolish stuff, Like if I
hear someone drop some inaccuracies about sports or music or
something at the barber shop, I'm like, I'm sorry, excuse me,
pardon me. What you're saying is wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
To Davis over here, I can't handle take it. If
I met this guy, you know, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
If it was at a wake or funeral or a
beautiful moment, I would have been like, yeah, but with
all due respect, we're here for grandma.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
But what are you talking about? You can't like the
Dodgers and the Padres. But he was such a cool
dude though he really was.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
I'm not just saying that because he could be listening,
but no, he really was and that did really happen.
So if you have any other examples of like impossible,
hit us up at Covino and Rich and you're always
walking to call eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
We love talking to you guys and chopping in. You
know what, I see it a lot in our industry,
being we work in broadcasting before the world of national

(13:39):
podcasting became a big thing, right, like podcasting and national
shows or if people listen to the most now, right, Yeah,
but podcasts are like stinkholes, rich and everybody has one,
but in most of the stink. As far as audio entertainment,
it's at a height right now because people do listen
to radio and podcasting more so than ever, which is awesome, right.

(14:00):
I do always find it funny when the local morning guy,
like we do a national show. I love that we
talked to you know, hundreds of affiliates around the country.
When are you fill him for Dan? What is Dan
on like six hundred different radio stations? Yeah, when you're
on one local station. I always found it a little
fishy when the new morning radio guy or you know,

(14:21):
the you know, some new show comes into town and
they like the local teams, I'm like, you're full of shit,
shittackey mushrooms, you're full of maloney. Like and I'll call
my buddy out because he's now so part of the city.
But we mentioned the the other day, our buddy Nico,
who works in Phoenix. I just saw him throw out
a first pitch at a diamondbackski I met him. He

(14:42):
was a Tigers fan and.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
He's from Detroit. Nico.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
When we'd go to the club back in the day
in our twenties, Nico always wore that Chris Detroit Tiger's hat.
Now he's, uh, hey, you look like Alan Trammel. Now
I thought it was a Matt Oaks in eighty six.
He's been in Phoenix for like a decade. He's the
big morning guy there. I see him like hosting events
for the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks, and I there's a

(15:07):
part of me it's like, come on, man, would you
like them? Maybe you can. It's not like the Tigers.
It's not like the Tigers rivals with the Diamondbacks, right,
I mean again, for professional reasons, I'm sure it was
easier for him, but well, our boss told me he
goes by my man. The Dodgers paid the bills. You

(15:28):
should like the Dodgers, and you know what, you know,
I've been here for a decade. Can I root for
the Dodgers? I think that's okay. I mean, I've been
here for a decade. But I feel like the minute
if I pulled that sleazy move and I was like,
goodbye Mets. That's when they would finally do something. All right,
Let's say, had to Elijah and Fresno, what's up man,
you're on with Kevin on Ritch.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
What's going on?

Speaker 7 (15:49):
Guys?

Speaker 6 (15:49):
Thanks for having me?

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Oh, no problem.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Kevino met a guy that said he's a Padres and
Dodgers fan.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Is that possible?

Speaker 6 (15:56):
So the only way that I feel like it would
be okay, if I have a son and I'm a
die hard Cleveland sports fan, I'm a Brown the Indian
I refew to call them a Guardians, Yeah, catsan, And
if my son got drafted by the Steelers I would
throw on a Steelers jersey in a minute.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know, we've we've when we've had these conversations in
the past. The one true exception is if you have
a child or a family member, like let's say my
son Ben, who's five. If my son Ben ended up
getting drafted by the Phillies or the Braves, guess what
later mets my son's on the treach's gonna be like, oh,

(16:36):
I would start leading the chance, Yeah I would. I
would buy a Philly fanatic bubblehead. Rich is gonna be
a full sit. He's gonna be politically incorrect with the
whole headdress one there rooting his son up. Dude, if
you're face paint and everything, if if my kid ended
up on the Cowboys or the Seahawks a family affair
at that point, yeah, your kids take priority. But I'm

(16:58):
saying if you're just talking about We've talked about that,
but this was like a very specific like, yeah, I
don't know if you could do that, but you're doing it.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
So I just wanted to share the story. At the
same time, I do feel bad.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Have you sang it nationally on the radio if you
relocate Cavino, Yeah, and your kids are raised different than you.
There's also that rub of well can your kids root
for the team? Like yeah, but those are things we've
discussed a million times. Like this is like a specific rhyme,
like you can't do both. My buddy watching the prize
fight and you're like, hey.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Who are you rooting for? You're like both, I just
hope both sides have fun. Yeah, you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Like sam My buddy Mike who we talked to the
other day who called up, lives up in Syracuse, New York.
He's a lowly said Jets fan, but his kids because
they're friends in school Upstate New York. They're all Josh
Allen Buffalo Bills, and he's like, hey, my kids like
the Bills. What am I the third team? He's like,
what am I? What am I gonna do? He goes,

(17:55):
all their friends are Bills fans, and the Bills are
really good, and dad's Jets fans. What am I gonna be? Like? No? So, uh,
you know, let's go to Dave in Buffalo. Speaking of Buffalo,
what's up man?

Speaker 8 (18:06):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Dave?

Speaker 6 (18:08):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Now?

Speaker 6 (18:09):
And Rich?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
What's up? Body? Let me tell you something.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
If it wasn't for R d J and back to school,
we would eventually gotten I am iron Man, Baba boooooo.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Let's say how to Moe and Tempe.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (18:26):
Mo?

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (18:26):
Mo? Hey, morning guys. Hey, Hey, shout out to Rialto.
I grew up in Fontana, so let's.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Love nice next door neighbor.

Speaker 7 (18:35):
Yeah, so I grew up you know, Niner, San Dodgers, Lakers,
and so I get it. My son, he's I'm from
you know, he's they're from Arizona. So he's but he
liked all of my rivals, which is horrible. He likes
the Cardinals. He likes the son. Oh go ahead, let
me so, I got that. But then my brother in law,
he's just an idiot. He likes the Broncos and then

(18:57):
he likes to the Chargers.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
Come on, he can't do that.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I like, I like the Broncos and the Chargers. That's
I think. That's the rule I think I mean, And
that's I love the entire AFC West. Yeah, that like
this particular there. If you have two teams, that's not
even what we're talking about. If you have two teams, yeah,
so bad, right whatever, you got your reason. Some people
my rivals. That's when it doesn't end up man, that

(19:20):
that's the rub.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I think thank you for pointing that out, because
that was the one thing we hadn't said. It's not
a matter of having two teams, because that's also a
little weird. But if you like, you know, I grew
up here, but I've lived the last Hey, if you're
a New Yorker that's lived in Florida for the last
thirty years, or you know, you've moved, called snow birds
snow if you've moved and you're like, you know what,
I really have taken a liking to this team. That's fine.

(19:46):
I get it, but you can't be like you know who,
I like really love the Red Sox and the Yankees exactly.
Come on, like, no, heye, how hold on? You like
two teams, but not those two? You know. I really
find myself rooting for the Packers and the Bears.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, it's like oil and it's like oil and vinegar,
oil and water whatever.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
They don't they don't wind.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
All right, let's go to Jake in burd Bank. What's up? Jake?

Speaker 9 (20:13):
Hey, guys, uh New York transplant for twenty years now
in uh the Los Angeles area, and every time people
are like, oh, see root from the Dodgers. Now, I'm like, no,
what are you sing?

Speaker 10 (20:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I agree. I'm an East Coast guy living in LA
and I have people like you like to dog? Yeah?
Do you like the Dodgers now? I mean, I guess
if my team does. Your son likes the Dodgers though,
my son likes Otani. That bothers me, but no, but
he's allowed to you like Ken Griffy Jr.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Growing up?

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Didn't you y'all did? As long as my son's top
players include some Mets. My son, yeah, allows have favorite players,
you know, we're not crazy sports. Your son is.

Speaker 8 (20:49):
Gonna be drawn to winners, Okay, you force feed him
the Mets. Yeah, my son, I can't grow up loving
the Dodgers because they win. We all love Michael Jordan
growing up? Were you a Bulls fan? No, my son,
Benny boy, little Ben? Who's your favorite players?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I like Paula Beer, Pete Lindor Otani, and for some reason, Tattoos.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I'm like, Okay, I was like, you know what, those
are good guys.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
To like, right, so TOADI, Lindor, he doesn't say he
doesn't say so, So I wanted so so Wan Solo.
I wanted to share that story with you because it
was so specific, and I was it was really a
brag on my part to have the restraint to not
really dive into it and just say, okay, cheers, nice
to meet you, Bud. I bet you when he had

(21:33):
that dumb conversation, he never thought it would be on
six hundred affiliates two days later. Oh no, no, no,
oh no. But he was a cool dude. But I
really didn't understand that. So anyway, thank you guys for
hearing me out. We got to talk about people like us.
I guess the broadcasters in the world of sports talking heads,
or as Denzel Washington calls them, opinionaires. Oh and I

(21:58):
think he throws a fatso in there too. I just
coming back that word. All right, So, Denzel, we'll talk
about a really interesting he said, you just went to
a celebration of life, a funeral.

Speaker 1 (22:08):

impressed by this. Right now, let's see how many new
people we could get on the YouTube chat and thread.
A live experiment, A live experiment to see the power

(25:08):
of the Dan Patrick nation and the dan nets. Right now.
Let me get my safety goggles right now. Nope, Bunsen
burner needed for this experiment. Nothing, nothing weird. So again,

five minutes. Just go to the page.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
All you gotta do, all you have to do is
just click subscribe.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Doesn't cost anything, doesn't bother you, and he it will
be a nice thing to do for us as we're
trying to build this the new YouTube layer of Fox
Sports Radio. So I'll bother you to see our faces.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Maybe it might you could.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
See Iowa Sam's Sweet Bucky shirt, which, by the way,
who doesn't love BUCkies. It's almost one of the most
underraty chams. And he just wears the shirt. We just
learned a lesson. Just because someone's wearing a shirt doesn't mean.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
I hate BUCkies. Why are you wearing the shirt?

Speaker 7 (26:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
I got the first story kiss fan. I get like
big fan of BUCkies, huh.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
I get like gen Z kids wearing a metal shirt
not knowing like who Iron Maiden is, like just because
they like it for fashion, But like, if you really
hate the band, why are you doing this?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Just going to Target and buying old graphic T shirts.
I get it, but sometimes they have some great ones.
The hey again, do that experiment. See if you could
bump those numbers for fun YouTube dot com slash at
Covino and Rich FSR. We appreciate it and spell out
the word a n D between there coven and co
ov O and Andy Rich. Could I give everyone just

(26:53):
a piece of good news before we get into this
Denzel Washington story. Sure, I feel like our audi it's
the Dan Patrick Nation. I would imagine demographically a lot
of middle aged men, right, there's of course women. But
can we say what a great experience it is talking

(27:13):
to Dan's listeners, because not all radio shows are as
let's say friendly. I think Dan's audience is fantastic When
we fill in. Of course everyone's going to get hate
here and there, but yeah, the Dan Patrick audience is
very welcoming and kind. It's a true testimonial to the
fan base he's built over the years. You guys are great,

(27:34):
and we're honored to talk to you whenever we can.
Other shows, when we fill in, they're a lot more demanding.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
I guess so, and because of Marvin, they do great.
In the eighteen to thirty four demo too.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, Marvin love that guy.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Love Marvin.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
What's up, Fritzy?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
You too?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Love all of them? So all the dan ads, that's
my favorite.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
Rich.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
This is interesting because I'd imagine a lot of the
people listening to Dan Patrick age men. Right, that's Is
it a fair statement to say thirty five to fifty
something year old like forty year old men or so
would be a pretty strong demo for sports radio and podcasting.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
I mean I would guess, yeah, right, I I would imagine.
So we'll get this.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
This is a good news for you fellas. Listen to this, ladies,
gen Z women. So we're talking about twenty something year
old women like the young the young hotties out there,
the Sydney Sweeney's of the world, are more so than
ever before, choosing to date older men. Oh yeah, then

(28:36):
they're peers. A big article about gen Z women saying
that older partners not only for emotional stability, financial stability.
Older men know how to have a healthy relationship. And
these young twenty five year old hot women are saying,
guys their age are just dummies. Send me that article

(28:57):
so I could send it to my girlfriend. Keep her
on her toes. She's just so she knows who the
hot commodity. You see this when you got here she is. Yeah,
but it's it's an interesting article. I've saw it in
a bunch of places this morning. It's sort of trending.
But yeah, they're saying a lot of women, especially on
dating apps, are putting their searches, like a twenty five

(29:17):
year old woman might say I want a guy thirty
five to forty five. And they're saying because younger men
have zero ability to cope, they don't have the ability
they're need. These young guys I see crying at the
drop of a hat on every reality show, so they're
they're having a hard time emotionally dealing with things. They're
not ambitious in the workplace, so they're not making money

(29:37):
and apparently they're just they're and they haven't lifted a
weight their life. They're socially clueless when it comes to
how to treat a woman. So younger women are saying,
I'm getting all those things from older men. So if
you're thirty forty fifty something and you're single again or
you find yourself dating, younger women want you. It's just

(30:00):
a maturity thing. It's a balanced thing.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
We were those younger men guys, you know, And that's
how it works sometimes.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Do you ever see a woman that's twenty five to
thirty and she's got her stuff together, she's ambitious, she's beautiful,
she's got a good job, she's got all the stuff together.
Can you really see her clicking with like a twenty
five year old dumb guy. No, I can't.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
So if he has all his hair and six pack apps,
so you know, maybe.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, but a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's called an f boy. She doesn't want to be
with that guy.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, that's Sam. That's like, that's like, yeah, that's total
like F boy island stuff. I mean, she thinks he's hot,
but he's a himbo. And you know, my you know
my theory. If you're if you're a dad with a
six pack, I question if you're a good dad because
I go to the gym and work my ass off
to get a six pack. I feel like you have
to tell your kids a lot. You have to be

(30:51):
in this.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
You have to be in the gym with Lebron James
for sixteen hours.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's a part time job. So just doing that Romanian deadlift,
was that what it's called figured I'd pass that infall along.
So if you're a Roman deadlift, what was it? If
you're a Romanian deadlift paying attention? I can't even see him.
He's on the videos, he's manning the videos. He could
be not in the room for all I know. So
we feel a lot of heads to cover the same.

(31:15):
U the studio, Danny g Covino and Rich and for
Dan Patrick. We touched on this briefly on our regular
show yesterday. We ended the show with it the last
few minutes, and it's about the culture of sports broadcasting,
especially where everybody has an opinion. However, even though I

(31:36):
feel Denzel's talking about Stephen A. Smith and that type
of broadcaster, and let it be known, I'm a fan
of Stephen A. Do you mean our next president? Yeah,
President Stephen A. I'm not trying to get on his
band's side, President Smith. Even though I feel like Denzel's
calling out guys like Steven Yeah, right, Rich and I
make it very clear we're we're just fans and we're
having fun and we love sports. We're not these know

(31:58):
it alls that are agreeming about sports. I feel like
sports broadcasters aren't the only ones with these type of
opinions anymore. I feel like social media has opened up
these floodgates for everybody.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
So I don't think it's opinionaires as he calls them
in sports.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
I think this is just in life. I couldn't agree
with you more. Take a listen to what Denzel Washington said.

Speaker 11 (32:25):
Everybody's got an opinion, and who live in a world
of opinionaire? You know, I just want to call them opinionaires.
They're all the shows there, A bunch of guys and
a couple of them that are played. But most of
them who haven't, who have an opinion about what something
should be when they haven't done it. Those who can't
talk about those who can't, Those who have know what
they talking about. Those who haven't don't period too much talking,

(32:48):
too much talking might got an opinion.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Everybody's sitting around getting fat, you.

Speaker 11 (32:53):
Know, thinking they know how to do it. Just because
you can sit behind the desk and chit chat doesn't
mean you can do a damn thing. It's a bars.
Come get up here with me, let's find out. Come
getting the gym with me, Let's find out. I mean,
I don't know you you know, I can throw my
hands I can.

Speaker 7 (33:09):
I sure.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I can do it for real.

Speaker 11 (33:12):
I don't talk about it, but let me leave.

Speaker 12 (33:15):
I'm seeing kids, you know, who never played a day
in his life, and now he can get back at
everybody because he got a mic in the space and
show people need to shut up.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
People need to shut up, learn how to do something,
be actually.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Good at something.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Try yo.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I love it, I honest, And then you would think,
you know, being on the radio and doing podcasting, I
would be like, man, I take offense to that.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
I think the craziest thing that ever happened. And I'm
not saying my opinion or my thoughts are special, but
I do think there's something wrong with everyone thinking their
opinion matters. Oh it makes me in I think it's
the biggest downfall of social media. So it's like online
bullying with kids and you know, real nonsense, right. I
think one of the biggest problems with the world and

(33:59):
social media now is that you name a subject and
everyone on planet Earth may put like a little selfie
video out there as if it matters, as if their
little personal thoughts on Sidney Sweeney's jeans or you know,
Lebron's workout Lebron's workout or some political issue. Everyone thinks

(34:21):
their opinion holds weight. Again, it's those who can't talk
about those who can. But these opinions are outlandish and bold,
and who are they coming from? So I get what
he's saying for sure. And the update today because we
did touch on this yesterday. I loved what Denzel said,
I want to know your thoughts at eight seven seven
ninety nine m Fox is that Kevin Durant endorsed this.

(34:44):
Of course, Katie is the number one guy that hates
idiots to just talk. So that's the update there. Well,
my thought is this again. I think the Sydney Sweeney
Blue Geen thing is a great example because it gave
anyone the ability to think that their foolish opinion matters.

Speaker 7 (35:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
It's like anything in life.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Now where it's not just the person who thought out
the subject matter, it's just you're your drunk uncle could
go on Facebook and give his opinion. We've always said
that everyone's entitled to their wrong opinions. But sports Degan
poses this question on our X page at Covino and Rich.
Isn't what Denzel accused sports media of doing? Exactly what

(35:26):
he just did forming an opinion with no experience, So
I happen to agree with Denzel. I feel like we're
gonna steer away from that type of broadcasting moving forward.
But what are your thoughts about these these blowhards or,
as he calls them, opinionaires.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
That's you know.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
I think I think you and I have straight away
from hot take broadcasting for years, because I rather do
unless we really believe it. Yeah, I'd rather just have
good conversation, you know. But I think Denzel there's something
to be said about what he brings up there. Everyone
thinks their opinion matters. I mean, he's the best actor ever,

(36:09):
so darn cool, so darn clever. Your thoughts. We get
to your phone calls and thoughts. Next at eighty seven
to seven ninety nine on Fox Plus. We give away prizes.
We have lots to get to Covino and rich In
for Dan Patrick.

Speaker 10 (36:19):

Rock on Rock on is right, Iowa Sam on the
Ones and twos, Danny g the smoothest, most buttery voice
in all the land.

nerve football. Subscribe to our Coveno on rich YouTube page,
YouTube dot com, slash at Covino and Rich FSR, and
you know, we will start picking random names of people
that are subscribing to the YouTube page, hitting them up
and sending them some free Fox Sports radio goodies. Do

(37:56):
you want to play that Denzel clip one more time?
Because I think it's so funny, because it's true. Even
as guys that work in this business, we have to
admit we understand what he's saying about opinionaires in sports. However,
like Rich and I pointed out, that's just life nowadays,
especially on social media, where everyone has this platform for

(38:19):
an opinion, which is a good thing. But don't act
like your opinion's gold or that it matters. It doesn't
matter all that much. Opinions are like podcasts. Everybody has one,
and most of them think.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
What is it that the rock says? It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I feel that way about most people. So here's what
Denzel said. Let's play it one last time. Let us
sink in.

Speaker 11 (38:44):
Everybody's got an opinion. We live in a world of opinionaire.
You know, I just what I call them, opinionaires. They're
all the shows, a bunch of guys and a couple
of them that have played, but most of them who haven't.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Who have an opinion.

Speaker 11 (38:54):
About what something should be when they haven't done it.
Those who can't talk about those who can't. Those who
have know what they talking about. Those who haven't don't
period too much talking, too much talkingbody got an opinion
too much twice, sitting around and getting fat talking, you know,
thinking they know how to do it. Just because you
can sit behind the desk and chit chat, that means

(39:16):
you can do a damn thing. Come get up here
with me. Let's find out.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Come get in the gym with me.

Speaker 11 (39:22):
Let's find out.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
I don't know you.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
You know I can, I can throw my hands.

Speaker 7 (39:27):
I can do all.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I'm sure do it.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
I can do it for real.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
I don't talk about it.

Speaker 12 (39:33):
Let me on the sinny kid you know, who never
played a day in his life, and now he can
get back at everybody because he got a mic in
the space and.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Show people need to shut up. People need to shut up.

Speaker 11 (39:45):
Learn how to do something, be actually good at something.

Speaker 7 (39:47):
Try that.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
I really like the last part of it too, though
he's like a hinge in the last part.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Be great at something, stop criticizing people that took the
time to be great.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
You know, it's funny. I think from now on, if
I really want to make a point, I might put
that daunting music behind what I say.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, it really brings it home and scope.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Those are bars.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Bars. Those are bars.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Those are you know kind of bars, clock bars, Those
are bars, bars, those are bars. So yeah, I love it, man,
I do. You would think we don't, but Rich and
I also take a lot of pride in having fun
with the smack we talk. It's not coming from a
place of my opinion is fact. I mean it is sometimes,

(40:31):
but it's I don't know. I can't put my finger
on why I think we're different, but I but I'll
talk about does irk me as well? I'll tell you.
I'll tell you why we're different, Not that we're special,
but but why we're different. I never come into Fox
Sports Radio ever, with the intention of I'm going to
give you a hot take to prove so like I'm right,
to prove that like my you know, my knowledge on

(40:53):
the NFC West is better. I come here with the
intention to have a conversation that hopefully you can relate
to the dumb stuff I'm thinking yeah, I've.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Told you, I said it, I told you, and I
told you, and I'm right and this and that. Man,
it gets tiresome.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
You're the best.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
You predicted that the one thing out of the fifteen
things that you got wrong, greatest guy in the one
thing you got right.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
You're going to lean into Congress just to prove that.
It's it's opinions, like sometimes foolish opinions that I get steam.
And you see this a lot in politics, right. I
just read that upon like I guess a survey.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
It's really trolling a lot of times. It's like, do
you really believe that you're just saying that.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I think a lot of times people troll to try
to get headlines and clicks, right, Yeah, I just read
that where weeks removed from it. Now they're saying less
than ten percent of Americans actually care or offended or
bothered at all by the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad that
got all that press like a month ago, like the

(41:59):
idea of like the genetics and the jeans and the
blue jeans, that whole big story. They're saying, the amount
of people that actually cared so little, if it bleeds,
it leads so Yeah, I think Paintel really says what
a lot of people are thinking. And maybe that means
there's a culture shift going on where you could be

(42:21):
a fan and have an opinion, but you're not an
ahole about it. All Right, Well, hey, we're gonna get
to some NFL. We'll chop it up. See what's going
on this weekend, A lot of preseason games. In fact,
two more this evening, So we'll talk some NFL and
give away some prizes this hour on Fox Sports Radio,
Covino on Wretch and for Dan Patrick.
