Gonna get to a lot this hour, a lot of NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
We're gonna talk about the Dodgers and how they duped
us all.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Don't over promise.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm gonna try not to, but I do want to say,
twenty five years ago today, a show debuted on HBO,
not a spin off, but from the creator of the
most successful sitcom.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
In network history, Pretty Day, Pretty Day, Pretty Good.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Larry David debuted Curby Your Enthusiasm twenty five years ago today.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
So that's one of those holy nikes. Twenty five years ago.
Then how many years ago was this when we were
watching First and Ten, The Bulls, Bean Business and dream
On and all those shows. One hundred and twenty five years.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Twenty five years ago, Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted, and I
always thought it was one of the best comedies. I
actually hot take. I like Curb better than Seinfeld. Sometimes
it's a little more raw, a little more relatable that
I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
No ther thing about Curb, though, is it took like,
didn't take at least one break. So you say twenty
five years and it just ended what two seasons ago?
Are you season ago?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah? But they took like a nine year hiatus or something, and.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
There are breaks in between, ye, And they were long
seasons like Seinfeld. But I mean, we think about all
the comedy Larry David's brought us between those two shows,
so props to him twenty five years since Curb. So
just a little timestamp today as we hang in for
the great Dan Patrick here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I love how they solved a murder mystery because Larry
David was filming during a Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Game, and that is wild. Then we're gonna get to
the Dodgers. I do want to bring up one thing.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's a true story you can look up on your
own time.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
We're gonna talk Dodgers and baseball playoffs and NFL, but
don't don't blink because another NBA season is gonna be
here before you know it. I didn't think it was
cool to hear the return of round Ball rock the
John tesh theme that we all love.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
So mugger fan of John teshtan you rich listens to
him on the never Listen He's he's just excited for
the rest of the world to join his funsketball.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
The Peacock announcer was just casually talking over the intro
of this NBA preseason game with that playing behind him,
and it just made you feel yeah like a kid again.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Basketball? Yeah, you hear this song?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's slid in the kitchen, don't get and you play
that yet?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Did everyone have that nerve poop that went over the door? Yep?
You get all ready for some basketball?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I just backed that song is so synonymous with great
nineties NBA that we all grew up with that made
us fall love maybe with basketball. Right, So the return
of round ball rock. But let's go to the Dodgers
for a second. Last night, I talked about this earlier,
but the more I'm thinking about it, did the Dodgers

(03:55):
dup us Cavino by like Mark duper like? Not intentional,
but by not winning one hundred and ten games by
battling for that division until the last weeks of the
season with the padres by not.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Only no, it's not the Dodgers duping us, or did
they f with us only to show up big and
be that team all along? It's shame on us for
not realizing the obvious of It's a long season. Health
is wealth and we should have known that if everybody's
healthy come postseason, they're going to be impossible to be
And that was the goal, and that's the goal ever
how they're pitching was what is the thing that applies

(04:32):
to all sports?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Just get into the playoffs and be healthy and ready
for when you're in. I just I can't say that
I wasn't surprised. I think we're all surprised that the
Dodgers barely won their division and they were the three seed,
which means they had to play in the wildcard round.
No one would have ever thought the Dodgers would win
roughly ninety games, have to play in.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
The wild card and go through all this and have
to click though the right time, and sure enough, once
he's hitting bombs, tay Oscar's hitting bombs. Key Y Hernandez
is turning it up like he always does.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
And every single guy you just mentioned missed a good
amount of time.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, as Ron Darling said, Keith k Hernandez has look
like Keith Hernandez in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I saw that.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, But you guys on the Afternoon Show, you talk
about this often that baseball is a little bit different
because no matter your record, no matter exactly what went
on through that long season, it's just whatever team is
hot at the time. We've seen the San Francisco Giants
and other teams like that, come together right before the
playoffs at the exact perfect time, and then make a

(05:39):
run no doubt.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
In fact, the statos of the thirty years since they
incorporated the wild Card, since the Major League Baseball Strike
and then they came back again with the new realignment
since then thirty seasons. Only seven of those thirty seasons
has the team with the best record won the World Series,
which is really interesting when you think.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
How twenty three out of thirty years.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
It was really just a team that put it together,
got healthy, got hot in October, and you know that's
just you're seeing with the Dodgers, because the Brewers were
the best team all along.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Thanking all Dwayne's stats. And speaking of stats, you gotta
tip your hat. I got a flat brim on today,
because how do you feel about that? By the way,
I feel like certain hats are made to be worn
certain ways. I rock a sweet curve. I curve them
like the best of them. Can you be a guy
that does both?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
I feel like, uh my curve is like Flash Gordon's
bro I can curve it up.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah you can. Because certain hats are meant to be
curved and other hats are meant to be flat.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's just it is not meant to be cached. It
depends on what type of hat it is.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
But speaking of hats, Yamamoto was rocking his Dodgers' hat
strong yesterday complete game, the first since twenty seventeen, first
postseason complete game. Last person to do it was Erlander
against the Yankees all those years ago, and the Dodgers
haven't done it since four according to the Elias Sports

(07:06):
bureau known as Danny g. So, I'm sung up on
God for a second.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I'm sorry what I just by the way, it's funny
to think that the baseball hat, a piece of sports equipment,
is such a universally we would you say, accepted fashion statement. Yeah,
no one wears a chef's hat, as Mitch Hedburg. Mitch
Hedburg has some line about like you only wear that
if you're a chef.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, that's funny. You're the sweetish chef for Jon Arts.
Baseball hat is pretty much the only hat from sports
that we rock on a regular basis.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
Here's one more pitching stat for you, with Blake Snell
and Yoshi Yamamoto are the first starter since twenty sixteen
to throw eight plus innings in consecutive postseason games.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And yeah, so when you're starting pitching is delivering like that,
dogs are gonna be hard to beat. And they didn't
have that in the regular season. And we forget that.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
In the preseason in spring training before all the injuries happened.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
The whole joke was and they got Blake Snell.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
When they signed Blake Snell, that was almost like an
f you to everyone else, like all right, defending champions, Well,
well hold on, and you added Blake Snell and now.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
But then he didn't play all season because he was hurt.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
It's but the Dodgers fans dreams are coming to fruition.
Your big free agent should have thrown a complete game
win in Game one, but you know, Dave Roberts, you
know wanted to, you know, toy with everyone. Game two,
your Japanese signs pitcher that you outbid people for and won.
Yamamoto did what you wanted him to do. Now what's next?

(08:47):
Glass Now if he gets it done? And then what
Game four? You go to the biggest star in baseball
over the last fifty plus years, show hey TONI.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
So arguably the Dodgers are doing everything we thought they
would do. Six months ago.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's just the last six months of injuries and confusion
made us forget.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Maybe for a second, reminding everybody that they are the
new evil Empire without a doubt, and that with likable players.
Though you know, it's hard to deny he really is. Yeah,
I mean, I saw I just hate their stupid hip
flexer dance that cove.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
I saw a Yankees fan like you post yesterday. You
know what, Yes, I hate the Dodgers, but it's hard
to root against some of the players because I like
a couple of the players on their team. Could you
not like Mookie Bets? Yeah, they're just not like Freddie.
They have they have magic Johnson smiles.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
How could you not like Shoho Tan? He transcends, you know, fandom,
He's just everybody, Denny.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
As I've I've pointed out before. You know, we're new
to the Dan Patrick audience for a lot of people.
I'm a Mets fan from New York. My kids are
five and eight, and I see them falling in love
with the Dodgers because we live out here in Los Angeles.
All their little schoolmates and all the kids they play
little league and softball and base well with like the Dodgers.
So I'm watching them wanting to hate them as a

(10:04):
Mets fan, But it's hard to see why my kids
wouldn't like, like you said, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Bett Show,
Hey Will Smith, Tommy Edmund, these guys are tay oscar
like there. It's it's hard to really say they're hateable.
It's like when Steph and the Golden State Warriors and
do you hate Steph Curry?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
It was very hard. I mean I started hate Freddy
Freeman's flat top. I don't. I don't really, I'm not
a fan of that.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
That does big chompers, that smile chause chops bothered me.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I mean Clinton.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Kershaw, that story where you got to see him sort
of close out the career the right way, and that
he's you know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
It just feels like.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
And even Max Munsey dumped by the A's back in
the day and now leads the Dodgers in all time
postseason home runs.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
So the question was Max Monsey makes me realize how
many people need glasses and don't realize it. Remember he
got glasses and like got back to where he was.
You might have not even realized how blind you are
it's true.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Did the Dodgers f with us year a little bit?
Or is it a matter of don't sleep on the
usual usual suspects, like like we stated first hours, like
we spend so much time speculating. It's just the nature
of the beast and what guys do and what we do.
It's like, well, who do you think it has a
shot this year? But it comes down to the usual
suspects more time than it doesn't.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I'm gonna make one dumb analogy and we'll move on.
We'll talk a little NFL. I commented on your flat
brim hat. Yeah, you won't let that go. Well, I
won't because it's uh. I'll give you an analogy to
how some ballplayers, like I find it funny when there
are those rare baseball players that sometimes they'll wear the
high socks and then sometimes they'll where as I call it,

(11:39):
the King Griffy Junior look, where it's a very low
pants down to the ankle, like the CC Sabbathia jammis.
Can you can you be a guy that rocks the
flat brim and then on another day rocks like a
totally curved brim.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
You can't. But yeah, do you mean can you be
I want to feel like, what do you think you are?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I am It's not about the guy. Do you realize, Yeah,
you're not wear hats. You're not gotta wear hats. I'm
telling you.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Certain hats are meant that way, and other hats are
meant to be curved.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Cam Newton gives us a strength to do whatever we want.
Just wear whatever hat he wants.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
That guy wears a mouthy hat. Yeah, so absolutely, it
depends on what kind of hat it is. Some are
meant to be bent and curved and some are meant
to be worn flat brim. It just depends on the fit.
So I'm just saying, yes, the answer is yes, you
could do caoth. Okay, just I do both all the time.
Some hat some hats you buy come with the curved brim,

(12:36):
so it just is what it is.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
I say, like, can you can you be the guy
that wears a baggy jeans one day and then skinny
jeans the next. It's different looks. You can do whatever
you want. You got to mix it up. Well, I
want to bring up one other thing that has to
do with the Dodgers, and then we're gonna get into
a lot of NFL. We're at that point, Danny g
Every year we always say, real week six is when
we could start really assessing.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, last year, you guys extended it to week seven.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
I almost feel like I want to extend it again.
I just saw a headline it was like bad week,
bad game, or bed season for the Bills, and I'm like, oh,
let's slow down.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Who knows well two in a row, I would say, uh, oh,
come on the four and two. I know we're like
a third of the way through the season, so.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
We're gonna We're gonna assess because Danny, I know, there's
some funny power rankings that have come out. It's like
who some people have at the top. It's like, do
we really believe it or not? Well, we'll talk to NFL.
But with the Dodgers just wrapping up two victories in Milwaukee,
there was a Dodgers fan, a social media influencer.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah who his name is, Willie Prince Mada. Willy Prince
Mada put on his Dodgers jersey and he went to
Miller Park and he was blown away by the hospitality
of not only the workers and the concession people, but
all the fans who were there.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
To welcome him in Dodgers gear. Yeah, I mean the
audio is not great. Play like five seconds. I mean
he was, he was going around Miller Park.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Take a lesson.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
I'm you right now as the nicest people I think
I've ever met.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I mean, nicest people ever met. I mean, would you
call them Milwaukeeans? Is that? Is that the right word?

Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's what he should thought they were Mediawaukeeans. Yeah, I
think that's what it is. He was shocked by hospitable
and nice they were. It was a culture shock for
I imagine he's an LA guy as a Dodgers fan.
For example, is he in Phoenix?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
He's out of Phoenix, but he's a big dog, but
he's a big Dodgers fan. Like for example, when I
went to the World Series last year at Dodgers Stadium,
I wore my Yankees jersey. I got heckled, man, but
I expected that. I didn't feel like my life was
being threatened. But I was definitely heckled and definitely made
fun of. And I felt a little weird with my
girlfriend there and everyone calling me out left and right,

(14:57):
especially after they lost, and I'm walking out and you're
not going to get that at a Miller Park, You're
just not It's fan bases, right.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's like some fan bases we'll see an opposing fan
and be like, hey, yo, good luck, welcome to the stadium, enjoy,
and then like listen, they do not treat you like that.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
In Philly.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
I will tell I promise you if I were to
ever go to ever go to Philadelphia, which I have,
I put my Mets jersey in a bag and I
don't even put it on until I get to the
stadium because trash bag. Because I feel like if I
leave my car, if I would have left my car
wearing a Mets jersey, I feel like someone would have

(15:36):
messed with my car.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
You know, Philly not so much.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
If you're a Yankees fan and you go to Fenway,
you think you're going to be treated kindly.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's just they're so happy to have you there visiting
their ballpark. They want to make sure you have such
a great experience you come back. I don't want to
kiss the ass of so hold on. It's two things though.
Kindness actually exists, so that's the shock. You know, people
are actually kind and other places, so that's refreshing and
shocking all at the same time. And there really is

(16:05):
something called customer care and etiquette and hospitality where certain
places take a lot of pride in, Hey, make sure
you welcome people so that they have a great experience.
And that's what happens at Miller Park. But it doesn't
happen everywhere. And we notice that too when we travel,
like damn. Some people lean into it, some not at
all because they're like, hey, it's New York. Who cares,

(16:27):
you're coming back regardless, we don't need you. Yeah, they're like,
you give the analogy before. It's a Sometimes if a
girl's too good looking, she feels like she doesn't really
need to do much, she doesn't need to do a
whole lot to please you.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, I mean like that's like that. I feel like
the worst super Bowl ever was in New York. We've
covered She's not to age ourselves. We've covered almost twenty
super bowls, right, and New York was the worst one
because New York City was like, yeah, super Bowl's here,
who cares? We said, it's the difference of you're lucky
to be here, Hey, we're walking over, get out of

(17:02):
our way. Meanwhile, tourists are happy to be there. It's
the difference between you're lucky to be here versus we're
lucky to have you, We're happy to have you. Indianapoli Park, Milwaukee, Indianapolis.
The super Bowl in Indianapolis was great, the Super Bowl.
We've been to all Star games. Are saying Indianpo is
the chubby chick. Is that what's going on Indianapolis is

(17:23):
the welcoming chubby girl. I'm doing anything they kind of
please you, exactly, I gotcha.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Even within the state of Wisconsin, you know, people might
be nice at in Milwaukee at Brewers game, but then
I've gone to like a Wisconsin Badgers football game against Iowa.
They were brutal. I was right next to the student section.
They were they were savage, they were hostile and yelling.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Didn't they pant you and beat you up?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
No?

Speaker 4 (17:49):
No, but listen it it can. It can differ even
in the state.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
You know, the Brewers.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
I've been to a game at Miller Park, and I
back up that Dodgers fan. They have a really cool
situation where there's like I guess you would say the
little downtown area in Milwaukee where the bars if they
there's certain bars where if you buy a drink or
a brod or a sandwich or something.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
They give you a little ticket. You're like, what's this
ticket for? They go, oh, that's.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Free if you want to take one of the little
little buses to the stadium. That way you don't have
to drive and you can have some drinks and stuff.
And you're like, what this is amazing. They have these
little like almost like free buses that it's like, hey,
have some drinks.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Have some cheese curds, have some a sense of being
ethos centric to the point where we think wherever we
are and whatever we do is the greatest, and then
we're just surprised that other people also have something cool
going on.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Ye hey, it's a pretty cool scene I would have
expected in Milwaukee. So hey, if you want to hit
us up at Covin on Rich if you feel like
there's a stadium or city experience that you know you
give the thumbs up. Who do you give a good
YELP review to? Essentially who rolled out the red carpet
for you? We'll take your feedback. Plus, coming up, we're
gonna do midweek major the biggest stories in the world

(19:01):
of sports and entertainment. We'll let you know are they
mid are they weak? Are they major stories? We'll break
that all down. Plus we are going to get to
some NFL and what a wild season this has been.
Who are arguably your top five teams? If you were
to do your power rankings a third of the way through,
is it obvious? Is it ridiculously not obvious? Would you

(19:24):
be shocked? Who's in your top five? We'll get to
all that next right here, Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Social media Twitter feedback I totally neglected. We got like
a ton of feedback Covino and Rich and at Fox
Sports Radio, CJ said, how could you forget the most
popular duo of the week, Those two boneheads Dart and Scataboo.
Darted Scataboo my favorite boneheads. Right, They're like a wrestling

(21:10):
tag team duo. It seems too wild and crazy. NFL
stars Speaking of that, a lot of people are hitting
us up with tag teams from old school wrestling, like
Accent Smash, but Luke and Butch Dustin hit us up
and said Herbstreet and Fowler. As far as commentators back
in the day are very on Dan Patrick.

Speaker 2 (21:28):

Nasty Boys. There's a lot of funny ones that we got,
so at Covin and Rich a lot of great feedback to.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Speaking of dre you know how all those kids go
six seven.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
You know, my daughter who's eight, actually asked me, she goes, Dad,
why do the boys in my school stay six seven?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
I'm like, because they're a little idiots. I don't know what.
I saw a meme that said something along the lines of, yeah,
we didn't do six seven because we did one, two,
three into the foe. That's what we did. So thank
you guys for hanging out with us. Covino and Rich.
We got midweek major coming up down here on the
West Side. I know the East side gets chili. It
turned hoodie weather overnight.

Speaker 3 (22:17):

Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's chilly, but just for a day. It's gonna get
hot again. Yeah, cold front kicked in, and as they say,
the West Coast makes it soft, and we grew up
on the East Coast. I went to Syracuse kicks.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
In and now we're like, oh bro, I'd walk to
the bar and a T shirt in Syracuse.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Now it's a little chilly here in l A.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
And I'm like Sam heny I freezy freakys and my
ear muffs please way cold.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
You know, we gotta do every Wednesday. It's called mid
Week Major.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Coveno and Rich gets you over the middle of the week.
When mid Week Major.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
I love that we.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Throw sports and pop culture headline said topics at the fellas,
and it's like the kids says we see in our
score Midweek Major.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Oh yeah, I feel like ten minutes is way too
much for spotty death. Before we hand things over the
number one, it only hosted to say way too much
for today. We like to roll the two big red
love dice over there at the main studio.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I just rolled the meat seven and now a ritual six.
It's Nippley in here. Okay, all right, Yanny G's big
red six dice six. Come on six. It is a success,
which means I we that's like the worst ever I
can roll. That means Covino gets first take.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey spotty boy.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Hey guys, my takeaway is that Scotch Plains needs to
step it up.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
They really do. Honestly, there's not much going on there.
I heard they don't want to be known for you.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
We got Judy Bloom and Mark Shaman. That's about it.
What is it like that town where the murderer what
is it? Ed Gean is from Plainfield, Wisconsin.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
Actually the town next to me was Plainfield, Plainfield, New Jersey. Oh,
and the town on the other side of me, Westfield.
Remember that showed the watcher. Oh yeah, that's the.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Watchers in Westfield. Yeah. But recently people are like, we
don't want to be known for the town ed Gean. Game.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
There's something cool. Do something better, Scotch Plines, Scotch Pines,
something cool? You got spot what's up?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Buddy? All right? How you guys doing it?

Speaker 7 (24:32):
Let's just stall in here, all right, lebron dropping some
dating advice for the gentleman out there, and that's quote,
watch out for the ruthless ass Bees, I'll censor myself Bees.
So Lebron appeared on his wife's podcast Everybody's Crazy with
a panel of other guests, and they were discussing relationships
and how quickly they fall apart these days. So Lebron

(24:52):
decided to chime in with some lessons learned from the
Laker locker room, saying that how the cause is, how
women have flipped this script and guys are trying to
be good, asking themselves what they did wrong.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
He said, it ain't you.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
He said that the crazy tales he's heard makes them
believe that some women out there don't have men's best
interest at heart. There cutthroat and ruthless. So take it
from Lebron, he's hearing it firsthand. Midweek or Major, stay
away from the ruthless espies.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's just another lesson learned Alison Chain's style. I think
this is major because it's Lebron James and it's great advice.
I think we fail a lot of times as far
as taking advice from our elders. And he's elder status
right now, especially in the NBA. It's a status. No,

(25:39):
he's elder status, oh, elders.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
But higher than he's got a son in the NBA.
So when you think about this, he is a dad,
and I'm sure he passes this information, in this wisdom
down to his kids, Like, hey man, it's a different world.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
We're living in Kadeem Hardistan style. Different world. You gotta
be you gotta be careful out there because people are
gonna try to get at you. And for these young
players to ignore his wisdom, I think a shame on them.
I think he's passed down some good information, some good
life lessons to these young cats in the NBA, and
they should be taking notes because, let's just say, what

(26:17):
used to appear sweet and innocent love and relationships back
in the day, It's just not that way anymore. Man, Listen.
I think it's major.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Also, I wrote down the word you just said, wisdom.
Lebron's got wisdom and maturity at this stage. Tree, He's
no longer the eighteen year old kid from Akron. He's lived,
He's seen stuff more.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Than most have.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Right, and you know, just from watching a dumb show
like Love Is Blind, I feel like my wife and
I constantly look at each other and say, oh my goodness,
young people are so dumb. Young people are trying you.
People are young. People lack discipline, maturity, how to handle anything.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Remember how we used to try to hang on to
a relationship. People are disposable more than ever, so they
don't have a young man or woman's best interested in mind.
Sometimes a lot of.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Times it's well, you know, what's the next best thing?
And Lebron James sees it more than anyone being in
a locker room with these young men. So I think
Lebron's words of wisdom Trump are very own mics words.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I think, yeah, we agree major.

Speaker 7 (27:15):
I saw one of the you know those balloon popping
shows that you see on YouTube or social media.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're like you you don't want to
date someone you pop a balloon?

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
I saw a guy walk in and half the women
pop the balloon because he was wearing sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
I then they took it. They took the.

Speaker 7 (27:31):
Sunglasses off, and he was like the most handsome dude ever.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah yeah, people, Oh sorry, men and women.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Everyone's like pinks are the greatest, and everyone's like oddly
too picky.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Now, it's way too picky. Too many options out there,
all right.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Josh Allen has his love of his life, so he's
staying away from the roof to last p's, but he
seems to be gaining perspective from married life, which might
be playing into his sort of lackluster season. So Alan
spoke with ESPN ahead of Monday Nights Bill's loss to
the Fat Falcons, and he was asked what his new wife,
Heleys Steinfeld, taught him about as they continue.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Their life together.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
Building their life together the biggest revelation for Alan, he says, quote,
maybe I am more than a football player. He went
on to say that his whole dream as a kid
was to be a QB and never thought of anything
outside of that or beyond that. He said he hopes
to get he gets to play the game for a
very long time, as long as he physically can, but
there is life after it as well, So maybe sort

(28:24):
of changing perspective, rethinking life or maybe rethinking life now,
who knows. But he speaks very highly of his wife,
saying that she's provides a lot of morale and support
midweekly major.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I think it is major. I'm not trying to say
that maybe his mind is elsewhere now, I'm thinking too
much about those things, and asks why they lost two
in a row, because right now he needs to focus
on being just a football player. But he's right, you retire,
you're an old guy on the field, but a young
man in life. So what's next? And I don't know
why I thought of this, but I thought of Nolan Ryan.
How like he has his whole life as a rancher. Right,

(28:57):
he was just as much of a ranch i as
he was a baseball player. So I'm sure there's more
to life than baseball for Josh Allen. He just had
to figure out what that is. MO applies to everybody.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
You know.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
It's funny with saying Nolan Ryan because he also had
a really supportive, great wife. I think the story is major,
and I'll tell you why I think it's major because
it's very unfair to Heley Steinfeld for anyone to assume
that two losses in a row have anything to do
with his focus because he's married.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
No, but people will point at them, but especially when
you hear this story.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Players have wives, girlfriends, some have both, some have kids,
baby mom is.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
There's drama on and off the field for everyone.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I think it's healthy that he's looking at life outside
of I'm not just a football player. And if you
think that's the reason the bill's lost too in a row.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
You're an idiot. And by the way, it goes with
the trend of a lot of superstars of today, like
like Luca who recently said, like, yeah, man, I don't
plan on sticking around all that long because I got
life to live. Yeah, but Josh Allen didn't say that.
He said, no, no, play as long as he can.
But I think that we're seeing priorities change, a different
priority with young people, for sure. I think it's a

(30:04):
healthy one, all right.

Speaker 7 (30:06):
Speaking of players in life after football, Jason Kelsey definitely
enjoying his life after football, making what hundreds of millions
of dollars hosting a podcast, but having to do some
damage control this week. I guess with that popularity comes
a little bit of negative side for something he didn't
even do. So Kelsey somehow got sucked into the Bad
Bunny Super Bowl halftime show controversy, with fake quotes being

(30:29):
circulated online gaining a lot of steam, so.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
He had to take to x to defend himself.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
So the quote that he was getting attributed for wrongly
attributed for was if bad Bunny is a bad fit
for the Super Bowl, then maybe people making those comments
are a bad fit for America's future, so he had
to go on x to say, unless you hear something
directly from me, consider what's being conveyed somewhere else as false.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
He says he.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
Usually doesn't get involved in things like this because I'm
sure there's so much fake stuff online, but he said
he felt the need to address it with the number
of accounts reposting this fake quote some midweeker major.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I think it's major, Not because of Jason Kelcey. This
is just one story of a bigger problem, and we've
noticed it more than ever in the past few weeks
with all this AI stuff, with Sora and everyone making
fake videos left and right, with all the political changes
going on in the world, we can't really afford to
not get the truth and get the facts wrong all

(31:25):
the time. And it happens every day and more so
than ever before. So it's not just Kelsey. It's like, Hey,
is this real or not? That's becoming a big problem.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I think the positive spin on this for Jason Kelcey
should be, Hey, I got a huge platform with millions
of people watching my podcast with my brother. If you
hear or see me say it there it's true. Otherwise
assume it's not. And I agree with Cavino, it's major
in that Sora and all this AI stuff. We've joked

(31:55):
about how remember ads and fake girls ruined my Space
back in the two thousands. I think AI might ruin
the scrolling experience. I think we might dip away from
social media a little bit if it continues to just
be all fake crap.

Speaker 7 (32:09):
By the way, that video of me fighting a gorilla
and winning was actually real.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
No, No, the first.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Spot the video you made of me stealing Chipotle napkins
and the and the employees tackling me, No, that was real.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
You want to squeeze one more fun. A reminder here, though,
spot before we move on, is to approach everything, and
we have to do that as a show that that
does some prep believe it or not? Hey, is that
a real story or not? To that?

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, you have to approach everything you read and everything
you see this rectangle, is this real or not? If
you approach everything with that in the back of your head,
that's the only safe way to really handle it.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Hey, I got duped last night. I might've been lying,
and I'll admit it.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
I saw a video it looked like from a ring
doorbell camp, and I thought a guy messed with a
porcupine and it shot like spikes at him, and my
wife's like, you idiot, that's fake.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I'm like, how am I supposed to know? Yeah? And
then you feel deflated, And that's why we're all prom
to put the phones down. I think sooner than later
as a result.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
Let me squeeze in one more in honor of spooky
season in the postseason, So Dodgers starred to askar Hernandez
fully embracings, I love the stories, fully embracing spooky season.
As the Dodgers take on the Brewers this week for
the NLCS, Hernandez reveals that he didn't stay at the
Dodgers team hotel in Milwaukee because his wife believes that
it's haunted with ghosts. Uh So the actually, by the way,

(33:33):
and he wasn't alone. Mookie Bets did the same thing.
So the Fister Hotel has been called quote baseball's most
haunted hotel.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
That's called the Fister.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
Yeah, it has been scaring baseball players for years.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Apparently.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
The hotel was opened in eighteen ninety three by Charles
Fister and players since then have said, have they been
seeing apparitions of Fister roaming the staircase? Hold on the
sound of knocking pounding? Oh no, that was that was.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
That was That was mookie.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
Electronics turning on and off and objects moving. Her dad
as did say that he doesn't believe in ghost and
he stayed there before without any incidents, but because his
wife is on the trip, he had to accommodate her
and make her happy, so they had to find another hotel.
That being said, he said he spoke with teammates and
apparently these incidents have been happening all week, so maybe
there's something to it.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Who knows New Week or major. It's a funny story,
but it's a midsh Come on, I like it. It's
postseason ghost season, but just say postseason ghost season.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
See, he wrapped it all together, his postseason ghost season,
and it's a good story. It's a fun story, and
I don't blame him. I'm not judging him for doing that.
If his wife was uncomfortable and it was something to it,
why stay there.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
I remember before we moved to Los Angeles, I stayed
at the Hollywood Roosevelt once and someone's like it's haunted
my wife and I stayed at a quote haunted hotel
in New Bronfels, Texas.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I you know, it's fun. It adds a layer to
your adventure.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
But I guess if you're trying to focus on the
NLCS and your wife's like, yeah, it's haunted.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Yeah, but Rich, it's over and you can't really yawn
because every time you yawn in October, go sticks is
junk in your face. So why would you want to
take those chances at the Fister Hotel? Also, don't sleep
on your stomach. WHOA, Yeah, I think the story's mid
but I like it. Thank you Midweek Major.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
We do it every week on our afternoon show, all
fun stories that you might have missed. All right now

but the only availability was October thirty. First he goes

think doctor Krueger is not gonna be able to handle this.
You're gonna say trick or treat before he reaches it.

But tomorrow we do something called old school when fifty hits,
we throw it back and reminisce when fifty hits on
the clock on our regular show. And hey, listen while

(39:29):
we have our danets and Dan Patrick audience, and you

Speaker 3 (39:45):
So what I want to say was we have the
YouTube channel. I just want to urge people just subscribe.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Check it out.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
It would mean a lot to us YouTube dot com
slash coven on rich fsr att.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Oh my god, I'm getting I'm getting choked up.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
Okay, choked up because your niners aren't on any of
these power right now.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, we're gonna get to that. But again tomorrow, all
schooling fifty hits and we'll be talking Aaron Rodgers getting
you ready for Thursday night football. Now speaking up, according
to Pro Football Talk NFL on Fox and The USA Today,
The USA, which I think they still throw into your
door at a hotels. They all have the Tampa Bay
Bucks at number one on their NFL power rankings. Now,

(40:30):
when is that legit or prisoner of the moment?

Speaker 3 (40:32):
But when you do, you well, the prison of the
moment is absolutely true because power rankings are based on
Now Okay, so I mean that's prison of the moment
because that's where we're living in the present. But if
I asked you realistically, if things stayed the same, do
you feel like the Bucks are a super Bowl contender?

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Dude? If Baker Mayfield is able to play like that
against your team with no receivers, how good could they
be when they're healthy? And Buka is turning out to
be a star, Yeah, he's but he's making stars out
of all the Johnson's on the team, all these ancillary people.
And that's what I believe Colins said that in the
promo we just played. That's what MVPs look like. That's

(41:11):
what they do. They lift everybody else. And he's been
able to do that just on pure not only athleticism
in the way he's playing, Just like the energy he
brings to the team. Man, it's contagious and you see it.
So I do believe that, and Bucky Bucky will come back.
Bucky Irving will come back for them.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
On a couple of these teams power rankings NFL and
Fox left off the Cults, but number two for Pro
Football Talk and USA today the Cults.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Do we really believe in Daniel Jones?

Speaker 3 (41:40):
As long as Jonathan Taylor's healthy and this guy's running
a muck on everyone? You can't really discount that team.
They are playing as good as anyone, right, I mean,
you can't just say, well, my preconceived notion is.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
That they're not great.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
If they're playing the way they're playing, you have to
have the Cults at least in your top five.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
I think.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
I think the Lions, even though they did have a
stinker against the Chiefs, I think the Lions went all
said and done, That's a team that is in everyone's
top rankings. There's the question mark that you can think
about as you go to work today. Steelers, do we
believe in Aaron Rodgers? We joked about it at the
beginning of the year, like, wouldn't that be crazy? Well,

(42:21):
guess what, Rich, We're going to talk about it tomorrow
on our regular show. Well, so thanks again to all
the affiliates. Thank you to Dan Patrick, check us out,
Covino and rich I will see you guys next time.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
A riba there, Chief Baby, see you in the promis Land. Goodbye, guys,
have a great one.
