Speaker 1 (00:11):
Find your local station for Cavino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio dot com, or stream us live every day
on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR. Wan Soto putting
on the Mets jersey today is already all over the place.
But it's not even just him putting on the Mets jersey.

(00:32):
It's all the goofy things he said about the Yankees
and about the Mets future.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Why are you hating on this?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, I'm not gonna like it, right, So we got
to discuss all things want Soto at least from today.
First of all, when asked how his former players on
the Yankees feel about this, has he talked to them?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
This is what he said.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
You've been in touch with anybody from your former team,
and could you share what those conversations might have.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Been, Like, I haven't talked to any guys that Toughay,
we talked to them through playoffs at the end of
the playoffs, but after I make these process, I haven't
talked to any of those What does.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
That tell you?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
That tells me that he is a jayo? As it
tells me you Yankees reached down to him. There's there's
thirty of them included, thirty forty fifty including management everybody else.
So why would reach out to him? Because maybe he's
an a hole all of those people are wrong, or
maybe Soto is just not the guy. I think we're

(01:31):
seeing a little problem is with the Mets because you
got here's what's made with me?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Maybe antics have no end, So he's a jo.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
All the Yankees gotta be wrong here not maybe want Soto?
What made the Mets special last year? And I'll be
the first to tell you they were a special squad.
I enjoyed watching them, their magical moments, the O MG
timmy trumpets, the camaraderie, the chemistry. It was all there,
Lindor and and Polar Bear Pete coming through.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh you know what they're saying now. They yellow were
expressed by becoming to Queen's before Christmas.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
They traveled together, they partied together, they went to dinners together,
they did everything together.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
They won together.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
In my Opinionjuan Soto's are he trying to separate himself?
As the as the guy. To me, that's not gonna
gel with the Mets and what they're all about. He's
got his own personal suites. This guy is making almost
a billion dollars. To me, that's not saying he's part
of the team. To me, he wants to be the superstar.
He wants to be the guy whose butt is kissed,

(02:34):
he wants to be the guy who gets his feet
rubbed by Steve Cohen. To me, he is separating himself
from what was once a really great chemistry. And hey,
if he was such a great team guy, no Yankees
reached out to him the shows. What do you see
that shows what the Yankees are made of? No, how
do you not see what I'm saying? If he was
such a great.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Guy, No Yankees, not even like Glaber Torres.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
None of the Latino guys that you say he's so
desperately wanted to play with the Mets. None of the
Latino guys from the Yankees reached out. No Oswaldo Cabrera,
no Aaron Judge. They had their little special handshakes, none
of those guys.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
You're doing.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
What you're doing is typical, dude. You're talking at you,
You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. No,
I'm not on one side. You know what you're saying, Oh,
Soda left simply for the money. And I said, maybe
he didn't really click with the Yankees and maybe he
was looking for somewhere that he felt he fit in more. Now,
if that's the answer, he was the guy. Yeah, if

(03:30):
the Yankees signed him, would he be a bad guy?
I said, Hey, is Max free to turncoat? Is Max
free to bad?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
No story develops, I'm starting to see maybe the real
character of this dude. And I know, you know, the
guy that was just chasing the money all along. So
this is part of the story today. Guys, no Yankees
have reached out to him. What does that say to you?
It also says to me that they felt a little betrayed,
a little backstand. I haven't heard one current player say

(04:00):
that Juan Soto's a bad teammate. So you are purely
talking out of jealous speculation. Well, it's going to be speculation, nonetheless,
because one player. You have to speculate, why hasn't anybody
reached out to him?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Has one? People move on?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
If people move on from your work, your place of
work and people have, don't you wish them the best?
The ones that I know and people I didn't like.
So maybe he wasn't the greatest teammate after all.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I don't know. I mean, he's also the guy that
that's always that's.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Already thrown demands around, has no he because he was
a free agent and he said.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
What he wanted.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
How was that throwing demands? That's yours, goph for you
know as much as you can. But it's not like
the Yankees didn't give him a solid offer. So anyway,
that's story number one. And Fox Sports Radio Nation, Danny G. Sam,
your thoughts as well, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Not one Yankees teammate. And there's a lot of Yankees
that are on the fence, labor Torres, Nester Cortez, a

(04:55):
lot of players that are probably not gonna come back.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
They didn't even reach out to him.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Let me ask you this, Danny, I was Sam, two
people have no tie to this Mets Yankees drama.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
That's not true. I'm big Apple, Sam. I mean, you
know what, I'm ecstatic about this signing. You are big
Apple Sam.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Danny G. You're a Dodgers guy.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
You don't give a funk or wagonall. You don't you
don't care a terrible terry funk. Have you heard anyone
from the Nationals, the Padres, anyone that's ever played with
Soto say that he's not a team guy.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I mean he sounds like a selfish player. Dude, for
what reason he went after? What he is? Otani? A
selfish player?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I mean he's he's bounced around a few times, it
seems to me based on everything he said, even during
the season when they would ask him, Hey, what are
your chances on coming.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Back to the Yankees?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Like he basically always implied that whoever paid him the
most is where he was going. So starts as a National,
wins a World Series, traded, traded, Now he's a free agent,
signs with the team. Where where the narrative doesn't match up?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
To me? Do you think man to be rich?

Speaker 5 (06:00):
His Yankee teammates just wanted to stay out of the
mix while the negotiations were going on. That's probably between
several teams. I think that might be a big part
of it.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Probably a big part of it, Like, hey, you know,
it's an awkward situation. Maybe they were told not to
discuss with him. You know, it's a you know, you
think that there's a lot that these people know. And
even Brian Cashman was saying today publicly, like they throw
the offer out there and then they just wait around
like they don't know. At the end of the day,

(06:28):
the only one that knows everything, I'm sorry, in the beginning,
middle and end of the day, the only one that
really knows the answers are Wan Soto and his agent.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Yeah, but Cove, if you were renegotiating with FSR, I
would text you on the side like.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's what I'm saying. Come on, like, because I'm a
good guy.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
So you say him totals nothing, I'm saying, maybe there's
more than meets the eye.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
He is all about himself.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Well, you know we're gonna talk about Mark Gaston in
a few minutes, right. There's a reason they're saying that
he's not in the Hall of Fame. He was a
very selfish player. He was an all about me sort
of guy. Maybe that's what Wan Soto's all about. I
don't know, dude, you're asking me to speculate, but based
on his decision making, I don't It's it's easy for
me to believe that I don't expect you to like

(07:14):
this deal. You're a Yankees fan. That would be like
any team losing a star player pretending to be all
pumped for them. You've said it to me on and
all theater. What do you expecting me to be? Freaking
psych Trosoto. I expect you to be mad about It's
like def this guy. I expect that. But for you
to like so caval leerly say, well, he must be

(07:35):
all about himself.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Why guess he's a free agent?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
That the answers in your question, how many players do
you think are on the the Yankees roster? Me with
the clubhouse people and personnel and all the people there,
like fifty to one hundred people that he probably dealt
with daily, right, Not one person reached out to him.
That says more about him than it does the Yankees

(07:57):
is your most foolish speculation in the history of Oh
he had he could reach out to somebody. None of
those people reached out to him, None of them. Dude,
If you moved forward and no one reached out to
you to say, hey man, good luck, who does that
say more about But why do you not see?

Speaker 2 (08:13):
That? Means it wasn't a great fit.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
It says more about you than it does everybody else.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
You're saying, in other.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Words, Rich is saying everybody else is wrong. Everybody else Ready,
let's put it in other words. If I leave this
company and no one reaches out to me to say hey,
good luck, does it say more about me or everybody else? No,
it would imply that I'm a jerk because no one
said goodbye or good luck. I find it fascinating. Listen

(08:41):
to a Wan soda. It is common sense. You're debating
common sense here. You're saying, no, every Yankee personnel is wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Some of the wan Soto's a right.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Some of them had no personal relationship with him, and
the ones that did maybe said I'm gonna stay out
of its business. A lot of these guys in sports
are like, hey, that's that guy's bag, that's his money.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't want to.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I'll buy into that that that they were told or
instructed or as the etiquette to not do that. But
I've never heard that before. There there are people that
he is clearly close with. Francisco Lindor is one of them.
I'm not saying that's the main reason, but why are
you discounting he just wanted a start with a team
that he just felt more. Also, bs, he wanted to

(09:20):
be the guy and and hey props him for that.
He didn't want to play in Judge's shadow. Judge is
a way shadow. Yeah, Judges big Frankenstein's shadow. He's a
way better player than Soto, no doubt about that, on
every level and every stat. And he didn't want to
play where he was going to because for the facts,

(09:42):
Yankee blinders, those are facts, dude, Look at the stats.
Look at the stats. Did Judge choke in a giant moment?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Could you say maybe that's what Soto saw and didn't
want to be part of that.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I would take that as an answer.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Like a month ago, you said Wan Soda had the
greatest dub season at bat you've ever seen. Yeah, a
lot of things have changed since then. Yeah, he let
me that's that's all the changed. Yeah, so I'm supposed
to have the same opinion on the guy as a
as a guy, as a player, he's great.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
What's up, Sam?

Speaker 4 (10:10):
I listen hearing this, It's like, I feel like this
player leaving the Yankees going to the Mets is driving
like a personal wedge between you two.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's almost a little alarming. The only personal wedge is
the one between riches cheeks right now. That's it. Is
this the beginning of the end. It's not because of soda.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Twenty years of radio and TV together done because of
one soda.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Goodbye.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Remember Dan Buyer hit the nail on the head though,
when we did our Fox Sports Radio and so does
a home wrecker. We did our we did our Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Spotify rapped.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Remember we did our Spotify rap?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, he said.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
The number one discussion by far in twenty twenty four
was New York baseball. And it's not because we're in
New York centric. Is because we're passionate based off which
is awesome, and we're from the East Coast. And let's
be real here, baseball has been a drama show and
made a lot of great moves in the past year.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Baseball is exciting.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
When do we ever talk baseball in the off season
the way we've been talking about baseball?

Speaker 4 (11:08):
I have another question. Hold, I'm another postseason was fire.
That's why are Yankees fans in like a state of shock?
Because in the last couple of years, Steve Cohen is
a big mister, big spender.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Now it's like a hot it's like the guy.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
But you know what it was, Sam, The Yankees like
the good looking girl at the club and a hotter
girl just came into the club, and the Yankees can't
handle it. They're like, wait a minute, I'm supposed to
get free drinks from all the guys. Steve Cohen came
in and he is a supermodel.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah yeah, Grimace is Peter looking definitely a supermodel.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Wan Soto so hot, get out of my face. Yes,
we would have liked him to play, but if no
Yankees were reaching out, it shows to me that he
wasn't that great of it.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I want to make a bet who has a better
record in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, if you want to lose your money, absolutely, I
don't think that is going to be the Mets.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Not that best?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah A thousand yeah, thousand bucks, dude, right now, there's.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
No question the Mat tape, Mark Tape.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
The Phillies, the Dodgers. There's way better teams in the
n L well either way. So that's part one. That's
part one of Sure, I'll shake of it.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Wait wait wait, wait, no, no, no, I want to get this. Yeah,
hang on taking a picture? He needs to take a picture.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
You think I'm scared of all the yank the Mets
pitching that's gonna be injured this year?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Sure way to go. Good luck with Max Free The
Mets are gonna met like they've always met it. It's
about a better record. Who had a better records? As
simple as a gift.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
So Part one is Soto admitting that not one Yankee
has reached out. And by the way, he didn't reach
out either, Like, don't you think that's a little whack
If I was gonna leave Let's say I'm leaving Fox
Sports Radio, right, you don't think I go to my
boy Danny G and be like, Yo, Danny G. Is
a courtesy because you're my boy. I'm just gonna let

(12:51):
you know, man, it's just not working for me here.
It's nothing personal.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
You're my guy.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I gotta do what I gotta do. Wouldn't that be
the respectful thing. So he also says he had no
communication with them selfish. All indication indicators here say that
he's a selfish dude. He's all about him. Fine, you
know what, and guess what baseball is not all about him?
Sport Juan Soto has perspective and this is what he

(13:16):
said as to why he chose the Mets.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
What they're building, take a listen.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, they showed me how the organization on stems and
how they look at their future. I think it was
one of the things that opened my eyes a little
bit more what they've been constructing and building to take
all the way, all the way up to.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Fifteen years, twenty years and never know.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Definitely, that was one of the things that I opened
my eyes more. How hungry they are for to win
a championship and to want to make a dynasty in
New York, Massa.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
How desperate they are to overpay for him is really
what he's trying to say there. They're hungry, they don't
have a great history, ungry, they're starving. They've not want
a damn thing.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Guess what I'm okay with that.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Historically the Mets have stunk sixty nine, I wasn't alive
eighty six.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I was a schoolboy. They stink, stank, stunk.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
They're good reference, you're a mean one. I love that
they're starving. Yeah, they're not hungry, starving New starving so
much are willing to overpay for a guy who can't
even play the outfield.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
New owner. He didn't say that last year. What do
you mean? Of course, he was never a great fielder.
He has a good arm.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
He could hit new owner a couple of years ago.
Mets fan, richest owner wants to build something. Listen, man,
there's ebbs and flows. The Yankees have owned New York
for a long time, just hustling flows bro Other than
a five ish year period in the eighties when the
Doc Goodin was on the side of buildings. Other than that,
since I've been born, it's been Yankees and the Mets

(14:48):
are second year is still the Yankees. They were in
the World Series last year. Your Mets were not. More
people talked about the Mets last year in your dreams
and in your group chats. That's about it.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Hey, we move on to the We move on to
Mark Gastone. We're giving prizes away in just a quick
four or five minutes. Danny g is going through all
the feedback. He's going through our podcast reviews to pick
some winners. So if you follow us on Apple podcast,
Covino and Rich and you leave a review, you might qualify.

(15:19):
So stick around. We're giving back for the holidays. Some
prizes in just five minutes. But your thoughts on Mark
Gastineau man, because you said you're having a change of heart,
a little bit French style.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Change of heart.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Your favorite show with Chris hardwake back at the day,
was that Chris Hardwick that was singled out you're thinking
of change of heart? Was I forgot the guy's name,
but I remember that. I remember the show who hosted
change of Heart?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Well?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Was a woman first? A woman comedian that was on
our show? Did Jagger host Jag Jag? Guy?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I'm having a little bit of a change of heart
because my whole feeling is like Mark Gastineau is coming
across as like a little bit of a crazy person
and he's, you know, living in the past like Brett
Faar of you you stole my sack, I'm gonna kill you. Essentially,
it's gone extremely viral. It debuts tomorrow thirty for thirty

(16:08):
The New York Sack Exchange. The story of well basically
why Mark Gaston's not in the NFL Hall of Fame
and what he's all about right now. I will say
they've done a hell of a job promoting this via
the social media clips because.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's sort of promoted itself because my interest level.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
If you would have told me a month ago, like,
oh yeah, there's gonna be a Mark Gastono thirty for
thirty New York Sack Exchange, I would have said, maybe
I'll get around to it. But now my weekend watching dude,
I'm watching this tomorrow night. So Mark Gastone. Another clip
was released, not the Brett Faar of Weird Awkwardness, another
clip about how he's bitter about being the creator of

(16:47):
the sack dance.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
I started the sack dance. Oh my god, and now
it's okay, but then it wasn't. But how about if
I did the same stuff now, what would it be?
So why don't we get it through their heads?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Man?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Have you know what?

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I'll give you the weirdest analogy and again, no one
else is going to give you this analogy on Sports
Radio Exclusive, you ever meet an older gay person and
they can have two approaches to life? I was Sam's like,
where is he going with this?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Sure? I have you.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
You meet an older neighbor, family member, someone who grew
up gay in a time where they were the recipient
of a lot of hate, a lot of terrible you know, language,
and a lot of you know, non acceptance. When they
see the youngsters now embracing and showing love for people

(17:52):
in the gay community. They could take two approaches. One
approaches I'm happy we've made so much progress, good for them,
or they could be bitter that well, when I was younger,
my family just own me and this and that, and
they could be bitter about it. So you could be
bitter about it or be better thankful that the younger
generation doesn't have to deal with what you dealt with.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
That could work for racism, sexuality, a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
And I think Mark Gastino as a player, there's like
I didn't get paid as much.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I couldn't celebrate I could. He could either take the.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Approach of like, wow, I'm out of sour Grape, I'm hurt,
I'm hurt, I'm hurt, or he could say I'm glad
the game came a long way.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
And I feel like he's leaning towards the prior or.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
We could look at it this way because the more
I see this story develop again, your opinions develop as
the story develops.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
The same with Wan Soto.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I feel bad for him as I did previously, but
now I'm starting to think maybe it was really irresponsible
to have cameras on this guy in.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
The first place.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
In twenty sixteen, New York Jets defensive and Mark Astena
was diagnosed with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, in Parkinson's disease. Jeez,
is this fair to him to his family to be
exploited or exposed in this way? However you want to
look at it, I'm gonna take the Joe Rogan approach,

(19:20):
meaning where when Joe Rogan does interviews after a UFC fight,
he says he tries to stay away from anybody that
was just knocked out because it's not fair to that fighter.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
They just had their bell rung.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
They're not completely there, and in that moment, it's unfair
to that fighter. I'm not saying he's never done it,
but he tries to. If the guy's you know, with it,
and he's okay, I'll talk to him. But if the
guy just got knocked out, he's like, now, I'm not
gonna do that to the guy. And I feel like,
maybe it's a little unfair to put this guy on
this giant special when maybe he's just not all there.
And if that's the case, you know, I say it's

(19:57):
a great point. Could no, But I feel like there's
family and friends and people surrounding this project.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
That would have stopped it had that been the sentiment.
I mean, And I don't know that. I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Your thoughts are you starting to sympathize? Do you think
he's a jerk? What are your thoughts as these clips
start to surface in promotion for the thirty for thirty
which airs tomorrow again, to make my analogy clear, when
the world changes around you, you could either embrace the
change and say I'm happy the new generation doesn't have
to deal with some of the hassles I had, or

(20:30):
you could say, right, maybe he's not emotually equipped and
mentally equipted to think of it that way. But besides
the Brett farthing, listen one more time, then we'll go
to the reviews with Danny J. Just listen to how
sad he sounds when he talks about him being the
guy that was the first to dance after a sack.

Speaker 6 (20:46):
I started the sack dance and now it's okay, but
then it wasn't. But how about if I did the
same stuff now, what would it be now?

Speaker 2 (20:58):
So why don't we get it through the ads man
just sounds rough man.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
All right, well, we'll get your feedback on that next
but right now we want to give back to you
Fox Sports Radio Nation.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Tis the season to give some swiggies.

Speaker 7 (21:15):
Everyone seems to be obsessed with this cup.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Incredible cups, Fans lining up at Target stores before sunrise
just to snag one.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
I've heard that, all right, Maybe exaggerating a little bit there,
but these Cee and our swiggies are very nice.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Hey, and don't be regifting our swiggies. By the way,
I fine that we have.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
A new batch too. They are what did you call them?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Coveno Midnight, Oh midnight black Sapphire midnight Black.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Sapphire midnight black. All right, cool.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
All you got to do is leave a podcast review
at Apple for Coveno and Rich you guys before I kiss,
ask for the listeners here that left five star reviews.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
How about a one star review? Please? I love it,
I love the haters.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Jess Loves Balloons is his handle the Seinfeld of sports
talk radio. It's the title I tell my friends to
listen to these guys because they always start with a
topic in sports, but they gradually get more and more
off topic as the conversation progresses, and by the end
they're just going on and on about complete nonsense and
it's absolutely hilarious. Seinfeld is famously referred to as the

(22:20):
show about Nothing, and I think that's also a good
description for this show. And I say that with the
highest praise.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, this sounds that's not Those are compliments. And he
gave us one star one star.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Sound nice sports talk radio, maybe accident. I think three
stars would have matched the review better. It was going
to be were Seinfeld this codino. He has George's hairline.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
Right, let's go to the first five star review here.
That's a winner. Nick Nick one one four, Uh, not
your Daddy's Sports Show is his title. I almost gave
up on sports talk radio until I listened to these guys.
I was tired of the over the top takes, hypothetical
going to happen sports situations. Oh these guys have it,
but they lean into the over the top to comedic level.

(23:06):
They marry sports with life with pop culture better than
any other show Premiere Entertainment, and you don't even need
to pay for it.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I love that guy. Who's that Nick Nick?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Nick Nick yeah, my guy.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Next reviewer Jeff Strom five stars, first time, long time,
first time reviewer, longtime listener. Been listening to you guys
since two thousand and five. And these buffoons have a
Walter White like chemistry while bringing a different view on
the sports we all know and love. Their show on
FSR is even better with the entire gang Danny G,
Dan Bayer, et cetera. I must listen for huge sports

(23:42):
fans and casual fans alike.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Wow, thank thank you for that. Appreciate you mentioned me,
though I feel a little left out. I like that, Eddie.
What else to say? I would chang? I would say
it is interchange.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
You Sam, Dan Byer, Danny G and then and everyone
else before we get to fore, before we get to
Buyer's update.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
One more winner here, your boy in Denver. Sam is
his title, and that's who wrote this. Five stars. You
knuckleheads make me laugh every day you rock the airwaves.
Five stars is not enough Dan, Dana, Sam, and thank
God for Mike who runs that place?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
All right, Mike who runs it? Yeah, Mike, that was
Joe Sam from Denver. Jolse Sam.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
If you heard your review, just send me an email.
It is Crprizes at gmail dot com. That's Ceurprizes at
gmail dot com.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Keep them coming. Thank you so much. We appreciate you, guys.
And it's time now for Dan Bayer with an update.
D Beat.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
What's doing man, guys. Bill Belichick is what's doing. As
he was introduced today, is the new head football coach
at the University of North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Belichick earlier today.

Speaker 9 (24:47):
I always wanted a coach in football, coaching college football.
It just never really worked out. Had some good years
in the NFL, so that was okay. This is really
kind of a dream come true. I grew up in
college football with my dad, and so it's great to
come back home to Carolina, you know, back in an
environment that I really grew up in.

Speaker 8 (25:05):
Belichick getting a three year deal thirty million dollars guaranteed.
The fourth and fifth years on the contract are not guaranteed.
Belichick did reveal that he spoke with Michael Jordan and
Lawrence Taylor Wow, two former Tar Heels, before taking the
job in Chapel Hill.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
In nineteen thirty, today was the day major League baseball.
You know, today was a big day for baseball. One
soda in nineteen thirty Today's the day that they said
a ball that bounced into the stands wasn't a home run,
it was a ground rule double. So on this day
was the creation of the ground rule double. So prior

(25:45):
to today in nineteen thirty, if a ball bounced into
the stands, home run, wow, weak sauce right, yes, so hey,
ground rule double is like a Rich Davis home run.
Had those soft ball ones he brags about where there's
no fence.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
No no, no, no, sounds like a straight hands.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Please, I hit bombs over the fence, thank you very much.
Only home runs over the fence count I agree. All right,
let's do this.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Old School win fifty hits. There's a certain.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
What we gonna do is go back.

Speaker 10 (26:16):
Back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School won fifty hits. That's fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, okay, so it's Thursday, December twelfth. We throw it
back every Thursday. We reminisced. We get you involved. This
is where you get involved. I mean, you're always involved,
but we really count on you. Fox Sports Radio Nation
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox to hit us
up at Covino and Rich on social media at Fox
Sports Radio. You have to imagine that there's a lot

(26:48):
of company Christmas parties this week and next week we
had ours.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Last week we had a great time Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
There's also a lot of get togethers this weekend, a
lot of ugly Christmas sweater parties, a lot of as
a lot of people, a lot of family and friends
coming together for the holidays. So it's sort of a
two part doozy. What's some of the etiquette. We've touched
on some of it in the past few weeks, like
don't be the most drunk at the party. That's the
nice the number one rule of course. So what's some

(27:14):
of the etiquette you always bring into these events? And
I have a side question, and that question is this
our Irish goodbye is okay? Because I feel like it's
the best move. Some people say it's rude. Some people
say you have to practice the Italian goodbye?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
What's the Italian goodbye?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
The Italian goodbye is you kiss everyone in the whole
party on both cheeks and it takes half hour to leave?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, more like an hour?

Speaker 11 (27:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Easy? Like I dated a girl and by the way.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
In case you don't know, the Irish goodbye is the
exact opposite, where you sort of sneak out without having
to say goodbye.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
To anybody, you vanish into the night.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
I mean, otherwise known as the Irish exit, right, the
Irish exit you.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
My dad has specialized in this over the years.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
He's mastering you're one of two types of people, which
is okay. Okay, because I dated the most Italian girl
from Brooklyn and her family used to joke about, all right,
we want to leave in a half hour. Start saying
you're goodbyes, because it takes an old school Italian family
at least a half hour.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh Uncle Lindsey and Gina.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Look every hug and kiss and bro hug, and it
takes forrever or do you just say hey, where Danny
G go?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
You could say this respect? You know. I cut Danny G.
I felt bad.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I cut him in the middle of an Irish exit
at the Fox Sports radio party. Danny G was walking
out of and you were the guy that cawled him out.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
I was so close to having a successful Irish goodbye
and rich yells through the They had like weighted glass
there on the patio of the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Danny k where are you going? That's so week? He
ruined it. Why would you do that?

Speaker 1 (28:49):
You gotta let people, you know, leave gracefully. Now we
all could agree that, you know, stumbling out of the
party is the worst way to go and if you're
gonna do that, do it safely. But again, part what
do you etiquette? Do you have to participate? Do you
have to wear an ugly sweater? Do you have to
go with the theme that whoever's hosting is is going with?
And again your thoughts on Irish goodbye. I have another

(29:10):
layer I'm gonna add.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
In a few minutes, and it's what do you bring
to the party? Perfect?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
That's part I have an updated rule on this. I'll
explain what it is. Next we'll go over some party etiquette.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas to everyone, and of course more NFL.
You know I'm plumped do or die for the Niners
tonight we'll break that down in a bunch more a
lot of fun today, Covin on Rich Fox Sports. Ready,
you know how like John King is on election night

(29:37):
he goes to that big board. Yeah, I break out
the playoff simulator five thousand, Yeah, and I start doing
a little touchscreen. You love that thing, and later on
today you'll see me break down how the Niners will
make the playoffs. Okay, well they got to win tonight.
Now that's step one. If you don't win tonight, it's over.
But if they win tonight, no, no, no. Step one is
cut a hole in the box. What's step two? There's

(29:59):
so much we could do according to new kids on
the phone, Okay, step.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Three, three, it could be you and me. Step four four, I.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Kid gave you more, and we're gonna give you more
old school and fifty hits Right now, I guess I
do have to want to bring up something real quick
because it's on top of mind. Christmas Day. We got
some football action, which is really exciting.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Right. How do you feel about Queen Bee?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I don't think this is a full discussion, which is
why I just want to bring it up quick. How
do you feel about the NFL accommodating Beyonce and making
the Ravens Texans have an extended halftime.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
So that she could do a full performance. Is that
a bit much or not? Have you not heard of
this d energy? No, I saw this story. It's an
extra ten to fifteen minutes of halftime.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
I guess see that happen and I was just sty
I think that family wants the concentration on Bee and
not Jay.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yeah, they're trying to take some of that off.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Goodell did say he has Yeah, because if you don't
follow the bossip, jay Z is affiliated with a lot
of the Diddy stuff that's in the news right now,
some lawsuits in his direction. He's completely denying it, denying
anything to do with it, making it very adamant that
he's not that.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
And Goodell has his back. So far, so far, so far.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's number one that Beyonce extended half member jay Z
is involved with the whole halftime thing. So of course
this is happening. And we all know Beyonce. She's a Houstonian,
so it makes sense for her to be at the
Texans Ravens game now to kick off your Christmas football.
Did you also see before the Chiefs game Chief Steelers
of the early game, Mariah Carey is going to be

(31:37):
performing All I Want for Christmas is you Live before
the game. So NFL and they also announced they're all
gonna be wearing this whole real version of that. I know,
maybe just play the recorded version and they're all gonna
be wearing some type of Christmas theme on their uniform.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
So check that out Christmas Day.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
By the way, I think part of the Christmas party
etiquette is to not hear this song.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
I've heard it enough already this year.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Keep it off the playlist. Yeah, off the playlist unless
no knock on it. It's one of the best I
get it. How about Christmas party etiquette, Make sure you
have a good Christmas playlist in the background. Honestly, I
think that's great advice. So that's what we're discussing right now.
We do it every Thursday. We throw it back old
school win fifty hits, and right now we're discussing Christmas

(32:22):
party holiday party etiquette. A lot of your company parties
this week A lot of parties this weekend. A lot
of egg knock, sipping back on Grandpa's egg knock, a
lot of pana tone and fruitcakes this weekend, people making cookies.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
You an eggnog type of guy. I never was until recently.
For years, I'm like, get that away from me. What
is that pancake mixed? Get that?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Is it egg It's fantastic as what it is. I
don't some stuff. I always saw my mom drink and
I'm like, and now I really do like it.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
But it's just it doesn't have booze in it until
you add like what you got ad run or something.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah. Yeah, so I was saying.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I I tried it for the first time a few
years back because I was like the kid.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
It was like egg dog.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
It's not bad if you like a white Russian, if
you like milky cocktails and that sounds weird. If you
do like milky caucas then you'll enjoy some eg dog.
But if you don't like that at all, if you
don't like orchado or anything that's milky, damn, you'll be grossed.
Rich has a thought about what to bring and what

(33:22):
not to bring to the party. Are your kids part
of this equation? Like do you bring your nose picking
kids to other people's houses? Now, I do want to
wrap this up. My thoughts on the Irish Goodbye the
old Irish exit. I think it is the most solid,
most awesome move that was ever invented. In fact, I've
perfected it. I've discussed this on the show before, but

(33:43):
I have my own version of this and I sort
of start playing air guitar. Let's say it's the waitresses
are playing Baron air and arrow and air Now.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Baron and Air, Now you forgot cranberries. I start play
an air guitar right like I'm really feeling this song.
I dip out of the conversation and I just start
air guitaring out the.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Door, like Homer Simpson into the bushes. So people are like, man,
he's really feeling this jam.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
But what they don't realize is that I just backpedaled
out the door.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Good bye.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
You know what he calls it, Sam, the G chord
dip away. It is the G cord dip away. You
could use that one for goodbye. Yeah, it's brilliant, and
I do that when the conversation sucks too, when you
start talking about your fantasy football team.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
That's when I pull the G chord dip away. Well,
now I know to look for if I'm boring you.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, I point up at the ceiling like, oh, that's
my song, I was saying, and then I dip off,
dancing away.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
I would say, if he's pleasant, it's polite, and it's
also strategic.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Take note, if you start talking a little too much
about like Io was sports and cominos. Like if I
point up at the ceiling and like, oh my song
and I start dancing away, there's a good chance I'm
just out.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
So that's my version. The Irish accent is legitious.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Dude, you know why, you don't need to You don't
need to announce your departure.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
That's really what it comes down to. What the host
of the party. Yes, there you go.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
I like that, Danny g respectfully, Hey, thanks for having met,
you know, and if anything else too, it's kind of
cool because it's mysterious, Like where do you go?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I like that, So I'm all for. I don't think
it's rude.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I think it's better than the Italian bye, because the
Italian bye you go around, you have to kiss Nunzio,
you have to kiss Giuseeppe. You got all this man
face rubbing against your face. You have to kiss Grandma.
You know she has has hair in her face. Two.
I say that respectfully. You know you got to kiss everybody.
By the time you're out, you stayed another hour. So
I'm all for the Irish goodbye, the Irish exit or

(35:47):
the g cord zip away.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's my rule. On that Ritzich, what's your etiquette on
what to bring and stuff? Now you had a new rule.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Bill Marshall, First of all, I'm a big fan of
don't show up empty handed. But you know, you don't
need to go above and beyond. Someone said this to
me recently, and I said, you know what, you don't
ever want to You don't want to come across as like, y'all, dude,
you try to be nice and tell someone what to bring.
But but here's the thought. One of my buddies said,

(36:16):
we're all grown ups. Bring something or don't. His biggest
pet peeve is when someone keeps hounding the host like, Hey,
what do you need?

Speaker 2 (36:23):
What do you want me to bring? What do you
want me to bring? What do you want? He's like,
just bring something or don't. Don't.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Like, I know you think you're being like kind of like,
what do you need? But likely the host has it
on lockdown. I mean that's a good point though, Yeah,
it is annoying. Yeah, just bring some or done. I
guess like, I have a party going on in my
house on Saturday, right, I don't even really expect anyone
to bring anything.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
But if you do, I I but if you do. Yeah,
you're just stocking up on other things.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Sit here, you know, bring us six packs on to
bring a bottle of wine, bring a little plate of
cookies for dessert, whatever, or bring nothing. I just think
that you depending on that. What do you what do
you don't ask the host a million times?

Speaker 2 (37:02):
What do you need?

Speaker 1 (37:03):
That's actually great advice, I like, because the reality is right,
Oh bring those Danny g no, my sweet cheeks.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, the reality.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
If I do need something, I'll hit up one of
my close boys that's not there yet, Like Danny, you're
not there. Like if you're not there yet, I'm like,
you know, Danny, can you stop and grab like two
bags of ice at the gas station?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Or running out of balls?

Speaker 1 (37:23):
I need ping pong balls? Or hey, yo, I was Sam,
I ran out of plastic forks? Can you do you mind?

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Do you mind stealing something from the Fox Sports Radio kitchen? Yeah?
Boxes and boxes? That reminds me on my way out today. No,
Rich has.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
Already stolen enough from Panda Express Chipotle.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
I've I've stolen hundreds of forks from Chipotle, just like that.
All right, Now, what's the rule on this?

Speaker 1 (37:46):
The ugly sweater stuff or whatever, particular rule or theme
that the hosts.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Everybody, Yeah, everybody have to do that.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
I think if I think you're trying to, are you
too cool to do it? If you if you refuse
because you're too cool, that's lame. If you don't have it,
don't go above and beyond. But there was one year
listen to how stubborn Cavinos you think if you think
Steve Cavino's stubborn.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Now, oh, I've changed a lot though since since ye yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
We were in our twenties and remember jay Z's Club,
the forty forty club in New York. One of our buddies, Nico,
had a party there and the theme was everyone wear pink.
I don't know why, but it was the theme like
his girlfriend or at the time or someone's like everyone
wear pink. Pink party, Like I found like a pink
button down. So Covino was the one person that was like, no,

(38:35):
we're pink, show us up like a black button down.
And he was the one guy. And by the way,
I do want to punch myself in the face looking
back at the photos as the one guy not in
the pink shirt, Like I still see those like you're
going to Rubens. You're going to Ruben's white party and
like a blue shirt.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I do hate.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
I'm like, why why would I do that? I hate
myself for that. So I have grown a little bit.
But that is a true story. So go with the theme.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Fair enough?

Speaker 1 (38:58):
What about bringing your nose picking kids? What about bringing
your dogs? I gotta be honest. Can I be honest here?
Can I be honest? Rich has parties right, and I
feel like too many people bring their dogs.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
So I therefore do not guess what I'm his co
host in life.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
I want to bring my little dog. Guess what I
don't do. I don't bring my dog. Man, we haven't
accept We have one friend that comes from like an
hour and seven dogs. But it's like they can't stay
long if they don't bring their dog.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
It's paining the ass. Dude, I think I want this
dog on my leg all night.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Dog has in continent is and cuningcises. We have to
bring you sit down. It's jumping on you a still
legg nog on yourself. Man, no one wants your dog.
There no offense. I'm they don't. And by the way,
I come to see your dog, Rich, I would say,
ask ask the host. First, you don't know if little
rowdy roddy Piper is gonna get along with your dog.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
You know, exactly know, how do you know my dog's
and don't like your dog? So etiquette at the party
holiday style? Oh I got one other one this It
doesn't bother when I say things, I just want to
let it be known. They might not bother me, but
I'm pointing out that it's not in good taste. Okay, yeah,
wouldn't bother me. But have you ever seen someone bring

(40:12):
something and then bring it home with them?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yes? Yeah, that to me is as tacky as its.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Like because nobody opened the bags of chips, so they
take their chips back.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah, like half Like if someone brings like a bottle
out of the like you're Captain Morgan rum and it's
half empty, and you see them walk out of your
house for the host to keep. Yeah, like I've seen
I've seen people walk out of my house.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Like, wait, you takeing it with you? You know what
they got to do? Scal voice. I've shared this.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I've shared this tip before, but I'll share it again
a lot of times when I go to Rich's house,
I take all the good flavors out of the favorite seltzer.
I just bring all the like the tangerine and the
grapefruit flavors, and I keep all the black cherries and
all the good ones.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
The pineapple, I like the grapefruit flavor. Yeah, I bring
in the richest house.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Alright, I got plenty of So what's the etiquette? And
again the second part of the story. If you have
any other rules, again, please feel free to share. I
gave you my thoughts on the Irish Goodbye. I think
it's a totally legit move. I think it's a great move.
Effect your thoughts at eight seven seven ninety nine Fox
Holiday Party Etiquette. How do we feel about double dipping?

(41:22):
You mean on like the dips? No, pour some of
the ranch on your plate. Okay, it's like putting your
whole mouth. What if you dip and then use the
other side of like the Mazirelli stack. You better be
covert about it. You better be very I have a question.
This is this came up with some some of my friends.
I'm okay drinking around kids, because if there's gonna be

(41:44):
kids at a holiday party, have your cocktails. I'm a
firm believer. And even though it's legal and we all
partake here and there. Don't smoke weed around the kids? Yeah, no,
what that some people do.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Super I'm just saying like those are the well, those
the same people that smoke weed like out in public
at a park and they don't care, like they're oblivious
to I'm.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Just saying, even if you dip outside, I just think
there's something very tacky. And again, don't think kids are
stupid either. I think my teenage kid doesn't know the
smell of that. Yeah, I knows that Uncle.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Bart is light. Now.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
I am not against weed culture. In fact, I love
that they have those pbr PP paps. Blue Ribbon makes
weed infused Seltzer's PhD infused.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah, ten milligrams and twenty five.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
And I think they're fantastic. Gives you a nice little
cool buzz. But it's a cocktail. That's fine. But I
don't think anyone should be smoking weed in front.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Of the kids.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
It's a bad luck. I know times have changed, but
come on, don't be a trash Backum. I agree with you.
And again, if you have any holiday party stories, thinking back,
family gatherings, family get togethers. That's why we bring this
up on a throw back Thursday, Old school and fifty hits.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Oh I know, I know it's not your home. Don't
wipe your hands on my couch. Oh my goodness. Who
doesn't know?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
But every time I have a party, I do realize, like, oh,
that someone wiped their fingers. I'm like, hey, like after
eating or after going after eating?

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Like okay, like yo, that's I mean.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
I would say you take their invite away if you
if you catch the person either.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Why is there cheeto dust on my mottoman? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:13):
What are your thoughts on? Like movies playing in the background?

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Why? Right? Like you gotta have the music.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
It's a it's a Christmas party, right, or a holiday
get together, you gotta have the holiday jams going on
in the background. If someone interrupts your holiday jams because
they want to put the game on or movie on,
no volume, no volume about.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
The volume is good enough so when you get close
enough you can hear it. But it's not overwhelmed too.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
I think that's too many.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Like Saturday night, we have people over know what I
do want to put on for a minute, and I'm
sure no one would object. Jesse Ventura is gonna announce
on Saturday night's main events.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
So think a.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Bunch of people getting together for your Christmas party want
to watch that?

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Are you out of your mind?

Speaker 1 (43:52):
No? No, I'm not saying to watch the Bowl games
going on, but I'm saying in that moment. Yeah, then
if there's a Bowl game but it does something you.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Want to watch, I just think no volume necessary.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Oh yeah, okay, we agree on that. I'm good with
all right, We're good. I'm that Uh, let's go to Vegas.
That's that's her nickname. She's in Las Vegas. Party etiquette.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
What do you think?

Speaker 7 (44:13):
I just had a tree trimming party where I invite
people over to put up my Christmas tree, and somebody
literally brought a bottle of wine, hit it and then
you know, drank it and took the rest of it home.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
The point of all, oh, I'm honestly, no invite next
year for that person. That's how I'm not thinking of
one person in particular. But I have seen people come
to my home over the years where they bring a
bottle of wine or something, they take a little sip,
maybe dip it away, and then I see them leaving
with You have to be at a certain level of
friendship to be able to do that too and get

(44:50):
away with it. Like I feel like Rich and I
know each other well enough that if I brought something
specific to Rich's house, like if you brought like a
honey whiskey and you're, dude, it's mine, I'm bringing it
home because I would be like, I know Rich is
going to drink it.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
I'm just taking it home with me. But I know Rich.
I'm with Rich every day, and it's gotta be like
you're some other.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
JABBRONI to do that. It's just you're the biggest chief
skate that ever.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Was Like, you bring over a fifteen year old or
a fifteen year age scotch and you're like, I want
to only want to share this with like three or
four people. You hide it and then maybe you take
it home because that's like a one hundred dollars bottle scotch.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
That's okay, Oh, let me give you one more. I
feel like this this topic hits home because I love
having people ever. As you know fight nights games. I
enjoy having company over. I love hosting. I love having
the game on. It's like something I get joy out
of when the game's over or the party's over.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
I think that when.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
The host says, hey, do you guys want like a
coffee drink, because I'll offer it.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
At some point.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
That means closing time. That's almost like, yeah, we're wrapping things.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
I took you up on the coffee drink last time,
I was. But that's fine. I means last call. But
I was Sam. Last time we had a party at
my house.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
You and I sat by the fire pit and we
had a drink and it had a great conversation.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I'm saying some people have the kolu of coffee or
their drink and then they're like all right, and they
just sit back down. You're like, no, that was like
you don't read the room?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Is the question. She's tapping on her watch. Read the room?
All right? I like it again. Party holiday party etiquette.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
Our most famous rule is don't be You're allowed to
get buzz, you're allowed to have fun, just don't be
the most drunk at this party, especially the company party.
Back to the Phones eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
Who do we got?

Speaker 2 (46:30):
By the way, don't be touching Phelly with someone else's wife? Oh, Mike,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Who who just saying this? What party is? Going to
Dann Bayer. Are we missing anything? You're a man of etiquette,
You're you're you're a class act. Any party etiquette we're missing.

Speaker 8 (46:45):
So you were talking about the TV earlier, and it's
actually one of the things that I think would be
a must for me is to have the TV on
because I always had people congregate around it.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
For what was on.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
I was thinking in the in the we change our
garage into like a family room, I may have like
bowl games or what I may have. Whatever is doing
on TV, you could dip away to that area, like
the family room.

Speaker 11 (47:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
I agree, you have the TV on, but I think
you leave the holiday music. Guy, it's a holiday party,
so the music has to be playing. If you have
you have the TVs like the so no surround sound.
That should be holiday music. I agree. I agree, man,
I have so many different thoughts. Let's go back to
the phone aiden in Mississippi.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
What's going on, dude, Man, I'm.

Speaker 11 (47:29):
Just calling about something that happened maybe two weeks ago
at a birthday party.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Okay, let's hear it.

Speaker 11 (47:35):
And so my cousin shows up with a fit of
Crown royal m and you know, he goes to town
on it. He doesn't share and het, you know, I
personally thanks rude. And maybe an hour goes by and
he's like peeing in the bushes behind where the party
is going on. That you what do y'all think about that?

Speaker 2 (47:55):
And I don't. I think that's that's it's look saves
saves water.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
It's I can't say we're all innocent here, right, but
but if I catch I was saying being on the
side of my house, yeah, probably tell him here's the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
What are you doing? Yeah, it's not a good look.
For sure, it might happen.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
And rich, don't you have a rule as a host
of a party about how you invite them because you
don't want to have some dude show up way early
and you're just stuck with him. Oh this is I'm sorry,
you know what. Let's end with this great tip. I'll
take some of your feedback. I almost believe in layering
the times. If you want the party to start at seven,

(48:32):
you know who you tell the party starts at seven,
people that you're close with, anyone in this room. If
you showed up in my house first, I'd be one
hundred percent okay with it.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
If the like.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Neighbor or the kid, your friend, your kids friend's dad
shows up first, Like you don't want the first people
there while you're still like setting up. Yeah, well you're
still like, you know, if you're not ready, and now
you're like having to just talk to this guy who
you don't even know, as well as everybody else because
he's the only one there.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Suddenly it's weekend hobnobbing, right.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Yeah, so the person you don't know that, well, you
give them the eight o'clock invite. Everybody else is there
at like seven. Yeah, I think you should as a guest.
Also think if I'm really close to this person, whatever
the invite says, I could show up. But if you're
a casual friend, you give it a half hour buffer
at least.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
If you show up early and someone's trying to still
set up and you're impeding their ability to set up
and focus on the party, that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Don't show up early for stuff.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
I have a buddy, and I guess I can't get
mad at him because he's like a friend.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Can you know? And I know this guy Rob for
a long time.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
He shut up a half hour before my last like, hang,
I was breaking a folding table stuff, and he's like, oh,
it was just in the neighborhood. I'm like, you should
have sat in your car or help me. At least
he didn't help me, but help her with this table.
Grab some folding chairs. Sam Darnold currently plus seventy five

(49:54):
hundred for MVP. And not that we make a lot
of great predictions on the show, but you, even more
so than me, predicted that everyone that thought the Washington, sorry,
the Minnesota Vikings were going to be bottom of the barrel,
you know, maybe five and eleven four and you know,
I'm sorry, five and twelve, four and thirteen. There were

(50:14):
teams that thought the Vikings were bottom tier. Vikings are
top tier, Sam Donald. There's MVP conversations, he is entered
whispers whippers, He's entered the mild mix. I mean, it's
still plus seventy five hundred. But where does Sam Donald
play next year? Has become to me one of the

(50:36):
real interesting questions in the National Football League. Yeah, there's
so many other storylines with you know, Josh Allen, could
they get past Kansas City?

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Is this well? Is he a star?

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Is this the Lions year? Like, there's so many bigger questions,
But stars. I think next year, where is Sam Donald
is a hell of a question.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Yeah, And a lot of the thought also is will
he be the same Donald that we're seeing right now
if he's not with Kevin O'Connell. Because even Rich said
it on the show last week, quarterback whisper, we've heard that, yeah,
thrown around right, but even Gridiron they put out a
meme today picture of Sam Darnold right here, and it
says where will he play in twenty twenty five? There's

(51:17):
a Raider logo, a Giant's logo, a Titans logo, Rams, Saints, Jets,
and Vikings.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
And Mets logo because Steve Collens said he wants him
just because, just.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Have a strong arm in the outfield, said his hair
goes good with the uniform. Yeah, just because.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
And there is now a little bit of, you know,
arguing back and forth even between Raider Nation, who currently
have the number one pick.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Give me those teams again, Danny James.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Okay, so Raiders, Giants, Titans, Rams, Saints, Jets, Vikings. So
some of these teams are going to say, do we
go with a potential franchise quarterback Jets.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Are on there.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah, my nerve, my dad is a New Yorker. I
talked to my dad yesterday.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
I didn't know my dad cared so much about Sam Donald.
He was adamant that all all, if Sam Donald takes
debate for that trash team, my dad's like, if Sam
Donald even entertains the idea of going back to a
team that left him out, like yesterday's.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Vodoo Digers, Yeah, your god is absolutely dead on with that.
He's like Sam.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
He's like Sam Donald unless they give Sam Donald fifty
million dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
He's like, if I wish Sam Donald gave him superstar money,
No way. So what's decisions? Decisions?

Speaker 5 (52:30):
Because you heard Bayer earlier on our show talk about
how Travis Hunter was named the player of the Year
in college football. So if you are a team like
the Raiders, say you have the number one pick, Travis
Hunter should go number one overall. Would you try to
then throw your money at Donald and have him throw
to the law firm of Bowers, Hunter and Myers, or

(52:50):
do you go with Sanders or Cam Warris.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
It's so tricky, Danny, because if you could get a
quarterback for a couple of years on the cheap, We've
seen that what that's done for teams, what an advantage
jet is. So if the Raiders paid Sam Donald forty
fifty plus million dollars, maybe sixty who knows.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
But he is a proven commodity and Travis Hunter Travis
Hunter along with brought Bowers, and he.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Can make an impact on both sides of the ball.
I mean, it's at least something to think about.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
By the way, though Donald's paid his dues man like
he's been bounced around, he was never the problem, never
the issue.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
I would if I were.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Him, Tennessee's a bad idea that that team has a
lot of work to do. It would just be a setback.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Rams.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
What are we saying if Stafford's days are numbered, the
Donald's like in the wings.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
He'd want to set himself up with a chance to
win too. You know, you know what, think about that.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
We'll take your feedback, We'll do Little Niners Rams preview,
and I'll give you your.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Solar power parlay.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
But Dan Bayer, as we get to your update, what
is your first instinct is landing spot for Sam Donald?

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Nobody that could pick in the top five.

Speaker 8 (53:48):
So I don't think the Giants, Raiders, I don't think
any of those teams are on the table.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
They go with fresh blood.

Speaker 8 (53:53):
Yeah, yeah, you know, especially you know shedor Sanders has
been linked to Danny's team. There's ward out there. I
don't know how many quarterbacks are going to be there.
But to the point as well as I don't know
if Sam Donald should be going to those spots to
try to be the savior because he doesn't have to.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
He's doing well, but he doesn't have to do everything.

Speaker 8 (54:12):
In Minnesota, you've got Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and
Aaron Jones and a lot of a lot of weapons there.
If you go somewhere where it's depleted, you're probably not
going to be as good.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
I haven't I had the dumb thought of if Brock
Purdy wants like sixty and Sam Donald's will take forty five.

Speaker 8 (54:28):
I don't, Rich, I don't think it's as crazy as
you make it out to seam, I get it, I
get it. Speaking of your Niners, they're playing to night
against the Rams.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
You got to get into this. The solar power parlay.
Let's win some money, shall we go.

Speaker 10 (54:49):
It's time to parlay into your weekend.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Rich Davis loves parlays. You're making money, and he loves
his new solar panels. Solar Boy drafting my Solar Power parlay. Alright, lose,
you're making money, all right.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Tonight kicks off our NFL weekend DraftKings, Sports Book, Code
c our Show cr Show again live from the ti
rack dot com studio. Rich He's all nervous wearing his
forty nine Ers sweatshirt today, hoping something great happens. Forty
nine Ers have to win tonight, simple as that. Yeah,

(55:23):
I have a parlay that I'm calling it to keep
my dreams, the live parlay. Do we want to keep
my dreams alive?

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Sure? I think we do.

Speaker 11 (55:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
It's fun for the show, Yeah, it's fun for football.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
I got three games, you know what, hold on check
that I'm adding a fourth boom forty nine ers. Okay,
Solar Power parlay is going overboard today. You add that
fourth leg. Usually what happens you lose one leg? Right,
three for three. We've got many times you add a
fourth leg. You're playing with fire.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
What's an extra? Alladay? Money seems a little nice, right,
all right?

Speaker 1 (56:01):
So here's what we got going four games, money line,
no point spreads. We just need these four teams to win.
I like it, easy, Breezy. That's your forty nine ers tonight.
Okay hosting the Rams you heard and their favorite you're
a Dann Bayer their favorite. But again, money line, we're
not playing with points.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Now, I know, but it goes to show you what
Vegas thinks.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Green Laws back Bosa likely to play. Niners win this game.
They're seven and seven and they keep the season hopes alive.
They're at home, so like the Niners tonight, money line,
Packers at Seattle again to keep the Niners hopes alive.
I don't believe in the Seahawks. I really don't, I

(56:42):
really really do the way this is the keep. You're
really nailing it to keep Riches dream alive parlay, so
the needs the Packers to win that. Then, you know what,
I think they're a better team. If you told me
it's a playoff game tomorrow, who you bet on? Green
Bay is a better team than Seattle. So green Bay
money line, just win. Ear Jordan love So Packers Niners.

(57:03):
You're the biggest cheesehead I know, So I'll take your
word of Falcons at Raiders. Raiders are playing to lose
now because they want that Travis Hunter pick or they
want to do what they want to do, and the
Falcons need to desperately stay in this garbage NFC South
battle with Tampa So Falcons. So you got Packers, Falcons, Niners.
And unless I'm missing a key injury, like is Mahomes

(57:24):
sitting this one out, they're only favored by four over
Cleveland and that money lines minus two twenty five, So
I added it to the parlay. So Packers, Niners, Falcons
chiefs just money line wins one hundred pays five hundred. Okay,
So that means tomorrow we react to your rams Niners,

(57:46):
we please, and remember we have Rich's big TV Game
of the Week and weekend Hobnobbing plus more giveaways on
tomorrow's show.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
And join us on over prom really fun.
