Thank you, Yes, that is true.

for maybe Steve Cavino. That's right, greatest hair in radio
and I'm proud of it. So thank you guys for
being here. Hope you had a great Tuesday. Gonna turn
your humped into a night Every Wednesday. Here on the show,
we get into midweek major the biggest stories in the
world of sports and pop culture. Spotty breaks him down.

(01:07):
He's getting ready and prepared as we speak, So stick
around for that. Are they MIDI stories, weak stories or
major stories? You got time spot. I think the biggest
story of the day is is TikTok banned yet? Because
I get a lot of sports headlines and updates to
tikot three and a half days. My girlfriend always accuses
me of watching girls dancing around. I'm like, no, I'm

(01:28):
watching sports videos. Hello, my algorithm is disgusting. If you
go to my Instagram a TikTok and just go to
search and you know, your algorithm pops up, It's like
it really defines me. It's like Mets, forty nine ers
and ass. She's like, that's really watching. I'm like, jumboy,
mine your business.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
What do you watch? That's funny because the Mets and
forty nine ers are ass.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Oh man, I'm being very fatious, but I'm also telling
the truth. I actually do get a lot of sports
updates on TikTok or Fox Sports Radio TikTok and I
I haven't gotten any updates yet. I see that there's
some people jumping ship already to another platform, but we're
supposed to get word today. There's rumors that mister Wonderful
is gonna join a group to purchase it. There's rumors
of mister Beast buying it. Mister Bean, not mister Bean,

(02:15):
even though I follow him on TikTok. I heard Tom's
bringing my space back. Hey, I'm down for it. I
used to like my Space. But the reality is, I'm
not saying I'm feeling so bad, but there are a
lot of younger people that make money on TikTok and
their revenue is going to be gone in four days. Well,
you know what, I wrote this down my notes here

(02:36):
for the show, so it has to be true. Well,
I thought that was your shopping list. I really don't
care if TikTok is banned. In fact, I think we'll
be sad for a moment. We might have the TikTok blues,
but we'll find something else. And I think it's for
the greater good of society if it's gone. To be honest,
has nothing to do with spies or anything like that,
even though that's important. I'm just saying we spend so

(02:57):
much time on TikTok, talk and social media. I just
think it's frying our attention span. I agree, but is
not good for the kids. And I just think we'd
find better use of our time. I think it'd be
a blessing in disguise if it were to go away.
My only opposition to that statement is, I don't think
we're going to take our quote TikTok time and use

(03:18):
it wisely. You're just gonna look at Instagram more, Snapchat more,
Facebook more, and other things. So it's not like remove
TikTok and all of a sudden you're gonna be reading
a book like AJ Brown.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Or something like. It's not like, how do you know
that he doesn't know?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Kevino's gonna put us on TikTok and he's gonna be
on his balcony reading Inner Excellent. Ri just thinks he's
a fortune teller. Now he's Zoltar. He thinks he could
see the future. Yeah, you don't know anything.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
You don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I might like do puzzles and stuff Sidoku. I might
steve over here.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, who knows. I might find a new hobby.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
New York Times connections. But I think it really does
fry our brains. And if it does that to us
and we're drown man boys, we're adults kind of, I mean,
think of what it's doing for the kids. So honestly,
I think it would be a blessing in disguise if
it were to go away. I'm too old to look
at TikTok, I look at Instagram reels four weeks later
like every other millennial.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
What are you? What are you?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Murta, I'm getting too old. That is the story today.
So in the meantime, in between times, before it does
get banned, be sure to hit us up at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Radio on all social media platforms. I mean, just one
less thing we have to post on. I mean I
agree with that. Uh, Danny, g let me ask you because.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
You got you got a toddler, you got grown kids.
Before we get into all the meat of the show.
And by the way, what's the meat of the show today, Pashami.
Before we get into some NFL and rewriting, rewriting your story,
we're gonna talk about terrible fans. What is the appropriate age?
Do we all agree of the age in which a

(04:50):
kid should get a phone and be allowed on social media.
I bring this up because my daughter's seven and for
the first time she said, Dad, I want a phone.
I'm like, you're not even close radio and tell her
to beat it. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, you're not
even close Pal's and she's like every kid, She's like, well,
this kid has a phone.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm like, you know why? You know what happens?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Oh? I unfortunately Rich, I'll say it before you get
the chance, got divorced.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Right. Rich loves to talk about that. It's my favorite topic.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
And when you have to co parent with the kid,
you have to keep in touch with your kid, right.
So my kid did get a phone early. And there's
other kids probably in that same boat, and.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
They're like, I got a phone. Yeah, you got a
phone because dad is living in another house. That's why. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I told my daughter, I said, everything you want to
do on a phone, you could do on your iPad.
And you're always with me or mom, so you need
to call anybody.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
So, like if I had a let's say it was
the weekend or week I didn't have my daughter because
I have her fifty percent of the time. But if
I didn't and I wanted to say hi or talk
to her, I don't want to have to go through
her mom all the time. So she had her own
phone at a very at around seven, eight years old.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah, seven is a little young. Rich.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I remember reading that the average American that was pulled
on this a couple of years ago said, twelve years old.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
That's fair is what they thought I actually should be.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I have a couple of friends on the East cost
that's the East Coast that said their kids are around
ten to twelve, and that's where I mean, you shouldn't
be worried that much about your.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Kid being the only kid.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
But by ten to twelve years old, Hey, did you know,
are you more worried about the only kid or the
only fans you don't want your kid there?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, we'll get.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
To that later, but hey, TikTok, we'll keep you in
the loop if the Supreme Court comes out with a
decision in the next couple hours.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
How come we can't get like, how come people can't
get their children like a jitterbug?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Just something like really simple. It's not cool though, Sam.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's like nobody's like saying like dank, Hey buddy, do
you want Jordan's or do you want you.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Know, pay less shoes? Kids?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Hey, they're gonna want what's cool. And if all the
kids in their class have an iPhone or.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Something, Jitterbug with the big numbers and the big display calls.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yes, today don't want stride Rights, they don't want Pluster Browns.
They want Jordan's little black bearry in your set. Kids
are spoiled. Hey kid, you want my old flip phone.
You don't need internet on the just calling and you
know an age.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I think you're right, but then they're going to compare
it to especially keep in mind, we also all have
to keep mind we're in Los Angeles, so the little
kid with the phone does have an iPhone, and.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's why they're like, why do we have this one?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I think when it comes to technology, we're not alone
in this though. No, no, not across the country. Kids
want the cool electronic gadget.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, it's not like a kid in the middle of
America doesn't want something cool. Every kid wants the cool thing.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I had a Nokia in eighth grade. That was my
first phone.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
I called the candy bar phone because it looked like
a candy bar shaped like that and it was un indestructible.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I could answer it in the shower, you know, a
flashlight on it. I was Sam, you had that.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I had a sports illustrated football flip phone spot out
a cheeseburger phone.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Remember they bring those back. You know what's interesting? I
was Sam? I was Sam. What are you? Thirty? Is
sure you'd see I was Samson.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Is actually thirty eight. Closer to the forty. I was
Sam's in his thirties. The difference between your friends or
coworkers that are in their thirties and then forties or
fifties is when you got your first phone. I graduated
high school in the late nineties. My first phone was
in college. I went to college without a cell phone.

(08:08):
I made sense. I went to college without my own computer.
I went to the computer lab. By the time I
graduated college, what's everyone had a phone and everyone had
the Internet. I saw a stat I was resenting looking
at like what percentage of the country had the internet
in the early two thousands, Like one two thousand around there,

(08:28):
forty percent of the country had the internet.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Six out of ten. People like, no, I don't have
internet at home.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
So thank God for the Internet.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
We've come a long way in the last twenty years.
The end, thanks thanks for addressing.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
You got your first phone as it was becoming more
widespread people getting phones in general. It wasn't because you
were living in like some you know, amished community.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
No, I was Sam. You know, I'm not trying to
date myself up. You know, I'm in my mid forties.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
When I was in college, I was a idiot that
tried to have like a long distance girlfriend, and I
had calling cards. I remember buying like twenty dollars calling cards.
You scratch off the thing and you all right, you
have sixty minutes, and I'd call my girlfriend at her college.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Okay, bab, what are you doing you?

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Luckily, for Rich's girlfriend, she had rollover minutes, so she
would call on from the off peak hour.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
She was rolling over on some other dude.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Well, so anyway, Hey, we spend way too much time
on our phone. Let's tie it all together. So if
TikTok were to get banned, I think it would be
better off for everybody. Less time on the phone, more
time being productive. Hey, maybe you join that bowling league
with your extra time. Maybe you joined that softball league.

(09:34):
Maybe you do something more productive. We'll keep you posting
here on the show.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
See Reich.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Now, that was an interesting headline Kavino saw as we
were prepping for the show. I'll give it's from the
Ringer The Ringer dot Com and the story was that
this weekend, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are trying to
rewrite their playoff story. They trying to rewrite their playoff story.

(10:02):
Big implications, big game, two monster teams going head to head,
but they both have the shot to rewrite their story.
And it got me thinking, you know, we see these
things play out, and that's a really great feeling for
both teams to have that opportunity, both quarterbacks to have
that opportunity. But are there other stories that come to mind,

(10:24):
especially in entertainment, definitely in sports where you wish you
watch and you wish you could rewrite the NPTE the story.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
So many great answers, and let's get the phones rolling.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Let's be the most interactive show like we always are
on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Can I give the two best examples? Please do.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Let me give the number for the newbies that might
be joining us for the first time, eight seven seven,
nine to nine on Fox. But before you get to
your examples, just think about that for a second before
you give the great examples.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm sure you have a liit they're the best examples
because they're my examples.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Exactly. Yeah, of the two guys you spoke of the
game of the week, oh, no one so excited, no one.
No one has an instinct on this game. And if
you do, I would love to hear your amazing instincts,
because honestly, this is like a heavyweight fight where anything
could happen. That's why I love it. That's why I
compare it to boxing all the time.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
This is furyo usic.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
These are two heavyweights going at It could be anybody's game.
Anybody could get knocked out any time. I think that's
what I love about it. I do think, though, that
when you talk about the unpredictability of what's gonna go
down Sunday night, the last game of Divisional Weekend, I,
much like every other NFL fan, is like, how am

(11:39):
I supposed to tell you.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
What I think?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Because the reality is Lamar Jackson Josh Allen both look
like they cannot be stopped ed Derrick Henry and that
the fact that Buffalo has a home game, and I
think that the maybe the minuscule edge where you're like, man,
it seems like Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson are un stoppable.
Remember the again, you got Lamar Jackson with Henry like

(12:04):
you said, you have Josh Allen with good vibes too,
Like he's playing this dream season. He credits his fiance.
He's like he's never been in a better mental space,
he's never felt better about his team. Like this guy's
riding on a super emotional high. I'm saying, even that
little inkling, that little part of you that's like, maybe
you give the edge to Lamar and Derrek Henery gues

(12:26):
I kind of do again, it doesn't look like they
could be stopped.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
You counter that immediately with well, the game's in.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Buffalo, and the Bill's mafia and bounces things out, and
the fan base and the weather and the vibes. You know,
that to me completely off sets that slight little edge
you might think the Ravens have. So before you even
get to the great examples of what stories and sports
and movies and history you'd like to rewrite, who has

(12:55):
more at stake here on Sunday Lamar Jackson, because if
he loses, it's just another year where it's like, dude,
this guy is and every people can't you know, Yeah,
that's exactly it, MVP, but he can't win the big game.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
I don't think Josh Allen has that reputation that Lamar
has in the playoffs yet.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Not yet, And I think going into this season, the
narrative has been there were weapons added to the Ravens,
whereas the Bills lost a couple of years.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
You got Henry, You're the MVP, former MVP, and ye
still can't win. Yeah, that's that's a bad look for him.
So major implications on the line. That's what makes it
so exciting because someone gets to rewrite their playoff story. Here,
someone gets to rewrite the story. Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,

(13:46):
you make the call, and it could be the beginning
of something. Because we mentioned that yesterday. If you watch
like every other human last Dance during COVID, Michael Jordan
the Bulls, there was a time It sounds ridiculous, but
we learned in that documentary we were too young to remember.
Before Jordan won his first three in a row, there
was the narrative that yo could Jordan finish? He keeps

(14:07):
getting stopped by the Celtics and the Pistons, and then
you don't remember any of that because the guy then
goes on too in three retires, come back you know,
wins three again, so you forget that. But for all
we know, this is when Lamar gets over the hump,
and maybe he wins two of the next three. And
you even forget that narrative existed. Yep, so that could

(14:27):
potentially be the start of that, which is absolutely right,
makes it more exciting. So when you think about sports,
it's kind of the feeling of watching a replay and
you know what happens.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
And I'll give the classic example.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
The classic example is you know the ball goes to
but Bill Buckner's likes.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
You know it does, but there's a.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Part of you that watches thinking, maybe this time it
doesn't remember a hot, tough time machine. Right, Rob Quordry's
character bet on the game, and then that little squirrel,
yeah messed everything up. Now, Rich you reap the benefits
that as a Mets fan, right, but how many times
does your heart break for that guy? Like maybe maybe
if I think hard enough and believe hard enough, or
maybe I just fell into a weird parallel universe all

(15:10):
of a sudden where he catches the ball. Do you know,
don't worry. The Mets are on the opposite end of
that quite a bit. I always think about the great
Carlos Beltron.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Carlos Patron.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I always think, like, what if he swings at that
Adam Wayne Wright curveball with runners on in Game seven,
bottom of the ninth What if he doesn't look at
strike through and he swings. What if Beltron hits a
double down the line and the Mets win and go
to the World Series. So when you want to rewrite history, sports, movies, everything,
there's a lot of things you could get. I don't
want to rewrite that ending. I just want to rewrite

(15:42):
that moment for Bill Buckner. Okay, so your Mets still
win in my fantasy here in my story, but Mooki
just beats him to the back. But it's not Buckner's fall.
You know, he's not blamed for the next thirty years.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
So that was my.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Starting example here. But my real example, because my my
real example that comes to mind has to be your
Seahawks TB.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Sorry, that's that's all right.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
That has to be rewritten, dude, I have unacceptable ending.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
The whole scenario, and there's so many different layers to
what led up to that point just in the final minute,
and Rich you've talked about it on the show horrible ending.
The Seahawks head the ball at midfield and Jermaine Curse
catches this wacky pass.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
It felt like destiny.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, that that you know, bounces around and he catches it,
and now you're down to the five yard line.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Dude, if that was a movie, right, I would be
like that was That was great until the ending. So unbelievable.
The ending. No one would ever make that call. That
ending sucked.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I hated it.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
It was my Sopranos, like it just ended. Yeah, my
TV broken, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Let me tell you what happened on the Sopranos.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Okay, I got inside Scoop Polly Walnuts was an old
neighbor of mine, and he told me, hey, Steve. The
guy it walked into the diner in the last episode
was wearing a member's only jacket.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Right.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
One of the first episodes, I think the first episode
of the last season, the title is members only. If
you go back and watch the last season, I think
one of the first episodes of that season, members only
is the title. The very last episode, guy with the
members only jacket walks in, he wipes out, he whax
tony soprano front of his family. The end that's what happened.

(17:29):
That's just an opinion, that's what. It's not opinion, it's fact, Jersey.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I know, I don't believe it.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
You know, a guy I had Gobba gold for lunch.
I know you asked me the meat of the day.
I told you now a lot of people. That would
be another great example if I wish I could rewrite
that ending, right, But I love the fact that it
left it to interpretation. So the Seahawks is my prime example.
Unfortunately for you, Dan, because even though it really happened,

(17:55):
if you were to say that it was a script,
you'd be like, no way, would any idiot make that call?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
No way?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Worst ending ever? And that's outside looking in in the
world of entertainment rich for me. I always hated in
Karate Kid Karate Kid two two when Daniel Son is like,
liver die man, Liver die and Chose Sen says die
and Daniel Son says wrong and.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
He honks his nose. He honks his nose. That's what
you can say.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
What you can say, well, that's more humiliating. But no,
that was the corniest I've ever seen. I hated that ending.
I wish I could rewrite it. I feel like they, well,
what should we do next? And some JABBRONI was like,
I got it. He honks his nose and then they're like, yeah,
I guess honks his nose in a battle, in a
battle for his life in Oki Nawa.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
That was the weakest ending had ever seen. I got.
I want to rewrite it.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
I got two examples, one movie, one TV. But listen,
you could go on and on with sports. As a
Niners fan, I watch my team lose three Super Bowls
in the last twelve years, all games that they were
winning or within reach in the fourth quarter. So I mean,
run with Frank Gore forty nineties Groppolo, you know, hits

(19:14):
a receiver over the middle. You know, overtime, brock Purty
doesn't settle for a field goal.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Like there's a million examples those on defense first, Oh
oh yeah, there's so many that would drive you insane.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
And Richard Head coach, how about going back before that,
the famous twenty eight to three game in the Super Bowl,
the fact.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
That Matt Ryan got sacked and they got out of
field goal range and they just sort of let the
Patriots so easily get back in that game.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Oh, we have a lot of listeners in Georgia. They
would all love to rewrite the ending of that Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I'll give you my movie one and my TV one,
and both these slight changes I think would have left
such a different taste in our mouth. And then we'll
take all your feedback movies people to take a big
dump on Rocky five, Tommy Gunn, George Washington, Duke.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I watched it recently. It's not as bad as we remember.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
If Rocky fought Tommy Gunn in a ring, we have
a different memory of this movie. The fact that it
was that corny like go full root like street fight
made it trash. If Tommy Gunn fought Rocky in the
ring and Rocky wins in the ring, we look at
that movie completely different. And the TV example one of

(20:34):
my favorite sitcoms of all time, How I Met Your Mother?

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I mean, you needed the mom to die.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
You wait all these years and then in the final
season ten Moseby finds the woman he loves played by
Kristin Miliotti. Thanks for ruining it, by the way, Kristi Miliatti,
who he loved in Penguin.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I did I know she died on that show?

Speaker 7 (20:57):
Dad?

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Please, it's considered one of the worst endings of all time.
So he meets finally meets the love of his life
to find out, oh yeah, she dies and he ends
up with Robin.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Why couldn't he just meet the mom and be like,
what a.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Great ending to a phenomenal sitcom. You know, I didn't
even watch that show, but I do agree with you.
I feel like it's it was too easy of an
how like, well, what do we do to tug the
heart strings?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I got it? I got it, Johnson, She's dead. The
whole time.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Sports movies, TV shows, what ending? Would you absolutely go
back and say, now we're doing this over? This ending stinks?
You know what's interesting? You and I just both watched
the same show, per your recommendation, The Penguin.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, Colin Farrell deserved to win awards for that. Oh
he's so good.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
But there were people that said, naw, I didn't like
the finale. I loved it, loved it. I couldn't understand
why people didn't like it. I don't want to spoil anything,
but there's a deeper meaning as to why it ended
the way it did. The deeper meaning, without giving anything away,
is everybody hated the penguin, but you rooted for him
because he was like an anti hero, right, and he

(22:00):
penguined everybody, meaning he screwed everybody over, causing them to
hate him. But you're still rooting for him. And then
he screws over more people and they hate him. Then
he screws over more people and.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
They hate him, and somehow you still have a little
soft spot.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Somehow you're like, you're still rooting for him because what
at the very end, he screws you over and then
you hate him, and then I hate this guy, and
then you hate him and you're, ah, now I know
why everybody hated him. And that was a beautiful ending
to an awesome first season. Let's say hi to Joe
and Phoenix. Let's uh, let's go a little rapid fire,
a little crossfire.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
What's up, Joe? Rewrite the story?

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Joe?

Speaker 8 (22:35):
What?

Speaker 9 (22:37):
Yes, I was causing to uh mention that Game of
Thrones ending terrible?

Speaker 2 (22:41):
That was my number one number two.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Uh, we'll go.

Speaker 10 (22:45):
Barry Sanders his career.

Speaker 9 (22:48):
He hated Championship Man. As a child, I titled Barry Sanders.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think like his Championship would really see.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Joe, Joe, do you think if Barry Sanders played in
today's game? Would he have ended up on a different team?
Was it a different day and age where I like
it was like Lions or nothing. Do you think somehow
Sanders would have found his way to another team?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
He's better to me, Yeah, I just feel like if
it were a different era.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Ever, Yeah, that is tough and it's there's a great
documentary on him if you've never checked it out.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Great calls, great examples.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
For sure, you get the chance to rewrite the story,
much like Lamar and Josh Allen, Who do you got
Alex and Fresno, Hey.

Speaker 11 (23:30):
Guys, just want to say a big fan of the
show for one. Two real quick ones.

Speaker 8 (23:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (23:35):
One, I always hit it in the wire how they
killed Omar with just some random little kid that you
never even saw coming, Just like, come on, man, I
think he deserved a better ending of that. And then
Chris Webron though that whole timeout thing, I pro you know,
not the.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Way, not the way to end, like maybe the one
of the greatest college basketball seasons and stories right with
a time out, but yeah, you know when it when
a main character, when a main character gets done wrong
or like that's how they kill them it does leave
you field like, oh man, I would have done that
different Blake and Saint Louis.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
What's up, Blake?

Speaker 10 (24:09):
Hey, how are we doing?

Speaker 2 (24:10):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (24:11):
One that I would change is.

Speaker 10 (24:13):
But if Frank Clark isn't in the neutral zone for
the Chiefs and they don't get that flag and they
end up going to the Super Bowl. But you know,
Saint Louis born and raised. I was feeling you guys
with My first sports memory was two thousand and six
that Adam Wayne Wright curveball. And then also, as you know,
as I went to twenty eleven Game six, when we
came back we were down to our final strike. As a

(24:34):
Taxans fan, I'm sure that would have to be number one.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
That that Texas Rangers World two? Was that the one
he talks about. I think we're talking about that.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay? Eleven?

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, twenty eleven. I thought you said it was six.
For a second that was that was the Tigers Cardinals
twenty eleven. I thought Ron Washington is George Jefferson haircut,
was going to fight, get to celebrate.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I was pumped for.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Them, and then oh, like right was out of the
reach of Beltray just by like a foot and then
they rallied like. That's what we're talking about, is the
feeling of That's how it ended a battle. You see
it in sports all the time.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
It could be a major bat in something like a
they won on a little number. That's how it ended.
After all that, you know, you want to rewrite it.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Who else do we got? Let's go to Blake and
Saint Louis. Hey Blake, Hey, Blake? Just did Blake? Oh
we did Blake?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Can I actually comment on Blake's So Blake it had
his own moment, But if he was a Saint Louis
Rams fan and against the Titans, I bet the Titans
fans would love to have that. Kevin Dyson, remember he
came up a yard short reach the tackle, the one
yard short played, and so you gotta he's gotta look
at that and be like, oh, well that's something that

(25:50):
we we or we're okay with that one.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Do you know what, Sam?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
That would have pushed that game to overtime, right because
they were down by seven. I believe that was about
twenty three sixteen. So I would have to defer to
Dan on that twenty three sixteen right byre I know
you're a what was the game?

Speaker 2 (26:05):
What was that? Titans the reach By?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh yeah, all right, let's go to Sewan in Sacktown.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Our guy, what's up Sean?

Speaker 9 (26:15):
Yeah, my rapper Radio bros Burnt rich Man, I've been
listening and watching How I Met Your Mother for the
last ten years as background noise. Yeah, never knew the ending,
So I appreciate your ruining that for me for the
rest of my life.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
It's one of the best shows. I'm sure he was
getting around watching that.

Speaker 9 (26:31):
It Actually it actually worked out because I keep asking
my wife how it is, and she just woman explains
it and turns something simple into a three hour conversation
and we end up fighting somehow. So I appreciate you
on that.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
And then real quick on the.

Speaker 9 (26:42):
Topic man, two quick Bangers, Chris Never making a second
appearance the two thousand and two NBA Finals where Bloody
Debot tips out the three pointer to Robert or for
the dagger, forever ending our hope of ever winning a title.
And then the other one. Man, I'm actually gonna steal
this from the Dan Patrick Show, which y'all are you know,
big contributors to the way breaking Bad End If Walter

(27:04):
White somehow ends up a windows protection and becomes how
from uh from Malcolm in the Middle, Mouncolm in the middle.
That would have been the perfect ending and the perfect spinoff, y'all,
fell those keep are real on there man.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Thank you man. And you know what, uh he made
me think of Dexter too. So many people had such
a problem with Dexter being a lumberjack. But then it continues.
It all worked out. Chit chat with everyone for a
one second. Well, I looked this up and then we're
gonna get into bad fans NFL Midweek Major.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Have you looking up Brianna Chicken Fry you creep?

Speaker 1 (27:39):
No, she's on Sports Illustrated. I just opened Instagram that
will That's what popped up.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Chill out.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Are you looking up Heidi montag Song? Okay, No, what
I was gonna look up was at DraftKings. I want
to see who is projected to rush for more yards?
Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen. It's an interesting possible, right, Like,
do you think either one of these guys goes? I'm
watching all the b roll we got Fox Sports, that

(28:04):
we got ESPN on There's just a lot of b
roll of Lamar and Josh Allen making play. So I wonder,
are these guys both gonna be, you know, willing to
lay it all out? There is Josh Allen gonna dive
it for first downs and Lamar's you know, Josh Allen
would be my answer. I mean, even if you got
this past week, you got Dereck Henry, and Lamar just

(28:24):
takes so much pride. Did you hear how he says
he loves watching it is like watching a movie or something.
He's not like cars. Yeah, it's lightning McQueen. He called
them lightning McQueen. He he just watches them take off
and ofwe of watching him just barrel people over so.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Much riding on this playoff game for both quarterbacks, both organizations.
I think you're gonna see them diving all over the
field as if it's a nineteen eighty Celtics Lakers game.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hey, Danny g before we wrap it up with the
phone calls, if you could rewrite any story? Does anything
come to mind for you? Because, like we already established,
A Ringer had this whole article today about how Lamar
Jackson and Josh Allen get the chance one of them
get the chance to rewrite their playoff story. Is there
one an ending that you want to rewrite?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, there's a couple.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
How about you Darvish pitching for the Dodgers or I
guess you could say not pitching pitching.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Dodgers against the Astros.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
And then of course the tuck rule, Charles Woodson hitting
Tom Brady in the snow there and Greg Beekert recovers
the ball Tom Brady in the Patriots offense with their
heads held down, all walk off the field thinking they lost.
Raiders advance. With one of the top offenses and defenses
that season in the entire league, Raiders would have went

(29:38):
very far, not just my opinion.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
They had a really good squad. That's when Gruden was at.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
His best, and instead Raiders go home after a weird
ending to that game, you know, lives on in infamy.
But what spiraled from that was Gruden getting traded to
the Tampa Bay Bucks. And then the Raiders were still
good enough even with that Callahan dude to go to
the Big Game. But Gruden knew everything the Raiders were

(30:02):
going to throw at him, and of course the Bucks
blew out the Raiders in that Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Let me let me let me throw it out there
to you guys. There's no wrong answer because it's all
guesses last week. I'll just give you the stats in
the wildcard round, Lamar Jackson fifteen carries as the QB
eighty one yards rushing for Lamar. Josh Allen eight carries
forty six yards, so he didn't have to.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Use the wheels as much as Lamar.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
What do you think the yardage over unders are for
this coming Sunday night? And who do you think they're
favoring to have more yards?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Just tell us? Tell me I think Lamar's favored.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Lamar fifty five yards, Josh Allen fifty yards?

Speaker 7 (30:48):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Are you going over for both? Or no? You know
what's funny is you ask us and you're the guy
that gambles all the time. What is your instinct? Tell you?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
How about you tell me I'm not gambling on it.
I'm serious, I'm out of here. No, no, no, being serious.
It's like you're asking the guy who doesn't gamble all
the time.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Tell me you don't gibble ever. I saw kiving that.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I saw giving a bet five hundred dollars on Ricky
Hatton to knock out, and that's why I don't Floyd
Mayweather Junior. I might still down five hundred from that
fight ten years ago, and I saw you bet on
another dumb fight. Anyway, my answer is that I think
both are going to be doing everything they can to
gain every little yard. So I sort of like both
of these guys rushing for over fifty yards. So if

(31:32):
you want to parlay that bad boy, I might so
have that it.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
There you go. See, that's there you go? See now?

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Oh okay, now, oh yeah, here you go.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
We also have to talk about this Eagles fan. And
we're not talking Glenn Frye and Don Henley. We're talking
to Philadelphia Eagles. Okay, we're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles
and that viral creepo fan that called the lady see
you next Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
It will and as Dan Byer said, even more hurtful ugly.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I was gonna say, because you could use you could
you could throw around the C word, and that's just
rude and terrible and vulgar.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Can you My mom told us growing up that was
the one word. If she ever heard us say it,
we were dead meat. That was her word.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It's listen, it's one tear down from a racial slur.
I'll give you that, but I agree with them Byron
that while that's awful, calling someone ugly to their face
is pretty rude too.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's just more rude.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Right, because one is like, you're just saying something mean.
The other one is like, wow, you're really insulting me. Yeah,
my physical appearance here hurt my feelings. The guy that
insulted you, Covino just threw out some random words. Hurt
your feelings. I was like, yeah, dude, your hair is awful.
Oh my god, why would you bring my hairlining?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
By someone said it.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
dB just one hundred percent on the the the use
of the other word is like an automatic fast track
because it's the worst word that you could use. So
for that person, it's the ugly portion of it where
you're really trying to get personal.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, call me ugly on top of it.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean not that the not that the
alternative was fine, it's just that there really took a
took a reach to to go to.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
So anyway, if you don't know the story, I had,
a guy's name is what Ryan called well or whatever.
You've added an adjective, so this pos there.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Now, we're gonna insult this guy, right because that makes
it better. But this Ahle insults he deserves it right now,
he does. He insults the Packers fans, this woman in particular.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
They're in seats way up high at the link.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Here's a different spin, something we haven't seen though. Other
Eagles fans then coming out saying we don't own this guy.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
We don't. We don't claim this guy, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
They're known for being rowdy, obnoxious fans, but they're like, no,
this guy, we're we're obnoxious and we're rowdy, but nah,
we don't claim his dude. I mean, listen, there's levels
to this, levels levels levels. Level number one is simply
Covino on Rich rule number one. We have a few
givens on the show. Anytime someone gets in trouble athlete, actor, celebrity,

(34:12):
random person, before you defend them, Kavino and I always
ask ourselves, hey, would you do it? I wouldn't do it,
and the answer is absolutely not. So you're never going
to defend someone that does something that you know. In
other words, moment, I'll never defend Ryan Caldwell because I
would never call, especially a strange woman in the stands
with cameras around me everywhere.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I would never lose my call and be like you
ugly you know what he said?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, So rule number one, if you want to do it,
they'll defend some idiots at it.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Number two.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Danny G had great question yesterday in the kitchen. Yeah,
if someone did that to your wife or girlfriend, would
you be throwing fists or what would you do?

Speaker 2 (34:55):
And I listen, I'll say, would you at least get
in their face?

Speaker 3 (35:00):
This guy took a lot of heat online the other
night and all yesterday with people saying, hey, you at
least got a stand up for your fiance. But he
said the reason he didn't go that route was the
two goon friends with this Ryan Caldwell.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Some guy and his goon friends are there.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Call me, uh, you know, put him up, call me
the cowardly lion. I am not by myself going to
take on three dudes sitting in a row above me
at a stadium full of their fans.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Why you're in You're in your right in junk shy
you punch him right in the junk like.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Like asman throw a boxing Yeah in that scene. Yeah,
but I just like to further though, I just think
to myself, I'm just gonna get an ass whooping.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
That's the question itself for doing.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
You know, listen, I'm all about defending my wife and
my children.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
But you got to know not to be the moron.
You know, you got to know where you're at. Okay,
well let me play Devil's advocate. Then you got to
know where you're at when you're buying tickets in that section.
There were plenty of Eagles fans saying, Hey, I'm a
Philly fan and I won't sit in that section.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Danny, know what I'm never doing. I'm never going to
he put his wife in harm's way.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I'm never going to a Yankees game and sitting with
the bleacher creatures wearing a Red Sox jersey.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
So, first of all, yeah, use your head, but I'm
not saying that makes it right. But you gotta know
where you're going.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
And Danny, I'm not being righteous, like I don't believe
in violence, but you know what, I also don't believe
in some Jo's words. Insulting my wife would really not
only bother me, but of course my wife. I think
the wrong move is to be like, I'm gonna fight
these guys you'll get your ass kicked.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Your wife will sit there looking at you with bloody face.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
What do you like show some sort of manhood where
you want to defend her. And that was where the
criticism came. I know, but it's just it's so tricky
and if any guys like, yeah, well, I would have
whooped her. Yeah, really, you would have taken on three
guys again who have leveraged. They're a row above you.
Picture a stadium seating, right, Danny, and I'm I'll give
you a second. Let me picture of this, can you know?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Joking?

Speaker 1 (37:02):
He said, yeah, but you're a junk level. These guys
are above you. They could shove you down. They have
all the leverage.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
They're fighting down, they're punching down. And it's three of them,
and there's three of them, you're fighting up.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Trust me, most reasonable wives or girlfriends would be like, honey,
don't well. What Trump trad story was the fact that
Ryan Caldwell was the jerk of the year, right, like,
people are hating on this guy. Now everyone's trying to
figure out who he is. Everybody found out who he was,
and now he's fired from his job.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
The fiance put him on blast. He posted it on Twitter.
He tagged a Packers fan group and it even got
to a Philly fan leader like a dude that does
like a big time Eagles podcast. And so they outed
this guy the Sluice, the Internet Sluice found out where
he worked on the website of his company. They say

(37:55):
that they're, you know, a big proponent of human rights
and everything.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
And inclusivity, inclusivity.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Exactly, and so they had to make a quick move.
They fired him. Their last paragraph or the last sentence
they wrote though, was they also feel that people should
not be judged based on their worst day.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
So he's sort of getting what he deserves. Maybe they
hire him back when the smoke clears. Who knows they're
firing him because again they stand on inclusivity and being
prideful and good things. Do you think he should have
been fired for having a bad moment? And I guess
the side question is should the husband of his women

(38:36):
have done something in that moment?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
And what would you have done? I love the layers
of this question.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Yeah, let me answer first and then we'll pass to
the baton around take your calls. At eight seven seventy
nine nine on Fox, I think the wise move is
as much as you feel like confident in your own abilities.
I'm not fighting a group of fans when I'm the lone.
If I'm the lone Packers fan amongst a circle of
Eagles fans and someone calls my wife a name, as

(39:01):
much as I'd want to whoop someone's ass, I am
just gonna with a cooler head, be like, babe, let's
get out of here. Secondly, oddly enough, as much as
this guy is trash, he did apologize.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
I don't think he should lose his job.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
And I know you are constantly nowadays it's twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
You're there's no hiding.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
You're taking away a man's livelihood, his mortgage, his money,
I get it. And you're taking away his tickets because
he's no longer allowed at all future events at Lincoln
Financial Fielding Rich.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
You're an extension of your company, and we know that
better than anybody.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
I think you're an extension of your company when you're
a public figure on the radio, TV, you're an executive.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
Think anywhere you go now because of how everybody just
can pull their cell phone out and show the world
what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah that, I mean, they're kind of bit right. Yeah, yeah,
you're there's accountability now, I know. I just did this
guy work at the jerk store where the yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah yeah Sam. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
By the way, Rich, the argument to the other side
of your argument about hey, you're the only Packers fan
right there, he's got two goons with him. But one
comment I saw several times was yeah, but dude, you
didn't do anything. Your fiance was sitting right next right
below this guy. You didn't even switch seats with her. Yeah,

(40:21):
because the fiance was on the other side outside of
this mess. He can stick out his camera and filmed.
At the very least you need to say, honey, come
over here on this side, I'm sitting next to this guy.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
That is a great idea.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Let's say my wife and I were at a concert
once and there was some drunk idiot behind us spilling
beer on us the whole time.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
I did what you say.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
I switched chairs with my wife, and then eventually I'm like, y'all, dude,
you know, gave him a little.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Relaxed step two. You say something.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, you say a little something kindly like yo, I
know we're in a concert row, but he keeps filling
beer on my You know my wife and I can you.
I think I know what I would have done right,
And eventually my thought was, like you just said, though
on the flip side, I represent Fox Sports, I represent
Serious XM and our own brand.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
What am I gonna do? Be like, that's it?

Speaker 1 (41:10):
You spilled me here, you know, like you hit him
in the chunk, right, like like Ace Ventura or movie No,
that was a dumb and dumb.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Dumb and dumb.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
You punch him in the junk like a speedbag, and
you poke them in the eyes like Mo from the
Three Stooges. Right then I invent a wrestling move called
the triple nogg and knocker where I take his two buddies.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Heads and all I ram. Yeah, I ran all three
of them together. And then I show my wife who's
the man? So how do you? How do you a?

Speaker 1 (41:36):
You know in my story that I just wrote, I'm
the hero? Well, that sounding too old school? How do
you stick up for you know, the woman in your life?
What do you do? I just told you. I know
I'm asking everyone else because the phones are hot.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Covino, you made me think of the meme I sent
you guys the other night from this this dude. On Twitter,
Andy Swan says, hear me out a Netflix series where
MMA champion go undercover to Eagles games wearing the opposing
team's jersey.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
I love that. There was a story. I don't know
if it was in Philadelphia, but it was.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
It was somewhere, uh recently where some dude was picking
a fight with this guy and that guy was a fighter,
and the fighter had the restraint to not engage in
the altercation.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Meanwhile, he would have destroyed dude.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
And when you're a fighter, professionally, your hands actually like
a legal weapon.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
That is not true, Cavino. It was proven to be false.
It was a Bill's Texans game where they thought it
was a fighter. But I get what you're saying. I
saw the same thing too, and I showed my wife
and I said, boy, this guy is really lucky. Then
a week later they're like, yeah, that wasn't the fighter,
it was just.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Something. Yeah, yes he did. I bit for it as well.
I was just such a psycho.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
You feel good though the Dan Felfer For a second,
Hey did You're a reason? I was just saying that
to make me feel better. Arguably the most reasonable guy
in the room. You're not fighting with some guy you well,
he can't.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
Yeah, and you can't fight him because he's a row
above you.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Kick his legs out? Yeah quick?

Speaker 5 (43:09):
Yeah, if he was the roll below, maybe you consider it.
I understand, and I think that Danny's thing is noble.
But then this guy doesn't lose his job. And that's
where that's why I disagree with Riches. Yeh, see you later.
This is if this is how you're going to act,
lose your job, you have to you have to deal
with some sort of penalty or repercussion of it, and
if it's your career, because and he didn't stop. It

(43:31):
wasn't just a one comment he was he kept on
doing it. It was hostile, its awkward, it's gone viral.
It's an f round and find out sort of moment.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
And he found out.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
He lost his job at BCT Partners, a DEI focused
management consulting firm, and he lost his opportunity to go
to any other games.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Everybody hates him.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
So was the punishment too hard that it matched a crime?
And what would you have done in this situation? Your
calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Now, let's
go quickly to you guys, a lot of feed love
it CNR on FSR will start with Noah and Maine.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Noah, so many layers. How do you handle it?

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Do you think the guy deserves to be called out
publicly in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Is that how things are? What do you think?

Speaker 10 (44:12):
So?

Speaker 8 (44:13):
I'm twenty seven years old, man, and do I think
he should be called out publicly? To an extent? Yes?
I'll use an example for myself. I went to a
concert with my wife, like back in November, and this
guy was being rude to her. Man, I said, hey,
chill out after the concert ended. If you're a man,
you talk it out. We talked it out. Everything was good.
Men are going to be men, Boys going to be boys.

(44:36):
I do think the guy could have suck up for
his wife just a little bit more than what he
did and just said, hey, cut it out like the Saint. Cool.
But at the end of the day, when it's a
three on one situation, even me as a three hundred
twenty times man, I'm not messing with that one.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, Like where's the crime in?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Like you could get a feel of a situation right
turn around me, Like, hey, man, how about you have
a little respect.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
That's my wife.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Dude, there should be some sort of man to man
understanding now. But add alcohol and a boisterous playoff game
and you know what you But all you said I was,
can you have some respect?

Speaker 2 (45:11):
That's my wife.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
You haven't said anything that is really gonna cause more
of a flare up.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
And if it does, you know, it's a layer there.
Still did your job. There's another layer.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
This that we haven't talked about. And it's also how
you respond to road rage. What does the guy look like?
If some weakling, scrunny nerd tells something, you know, tells
off my wife, that's way different than if I turn
around and it's a dude that looks like, you know,
a linebacker in the NFL. You know, if some beast

(45:42):
of don's like, I might say, honey.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Let's get out of here. And if it's you know,
it's a difference. If it looks like some guy you
know you can handle. Dan in Washington State, what's U, buddy? Hey? Dan?

Speaker 12 (45:54):
Hey, what's going on? Guys? Kind of DejaVu?

Speaker 10 (45:57):
Here?

Speaker 12 (45:58):
Twenty ten A Packers fan of Grip in Wisconsin. Uh There,
I am sitting in uh in the link, watching the
watching the wild card game, Packers, Eagles, and UH. A
woman in front of me turns around and calls me
the sea word. Kind of interesting, not not not acceptable
by any means. We got good tickets, a bunch of buddies.

(46:21):
We knew going into there was going to be contentious.
A buddy got smoked with a tomato from the upper deck.
It's it's just it's it's a wild place. Still doesn't
excuse the uh. Doesn't excuse the behavior, but brought back
some memories today.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
I know Cornball was so offensive. I call Richard Cornball
every day.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Different sea word, a tomato, Fozzy Bear fighting with waka waka.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
You know that's some hell of a home field advantage
right there.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Man, you might get a tomato, can I tell you?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
And we'll take one more from Bruno. But let me
tell you the tomato. I've said this before, and I
wasn't lying. When I'm in Ala, when I've gone to
go see the Mets, let's say, play the Phillies, I
put my Mets jersey or T shirt in a bag
I change in the stadium because I don't even want
to walk through the parking lot or have them see

(47:15):
my car or anything with a Met shirt on. So
Philly is tough. Deal with it or don't go to
the game. You got to expect it. It doesn't excuse
bad behavior, but it's expected at this point, right. Well,
Bruno and Brooklyn wrapped this up for now.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (47:31):
About?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
What's up?

Speaker 7 (47:32):
I'll keep it tight, Gentleen, good afternoon. Hey, it a
great topic. I love the topic. Hey, real quickly, if
you read the whole story with this, when the guy
started filming, the guys that were up above him said, look, we'll.

Speaker 8 (47:42):
Kick your in a lot.

Speaker 7 (47:43):
You know you want a piece of me. I mean
there was a section in there where the guy dits
retin zude with the phone to put the phone down,
so there was going to be an altercation to that point.
I'll just tell you as a Yankee, Stan going over
to Boston, you know, over to the park that way,
I've been in that for day. We've been over there
where you're in a section where there's a dozen people

(48:03):
around you, you know, pretty much not spitting on you
and throwing beers on you, but you don't dare throw
because you're not gonna come out of that looking good.
And you know, it's just it is what it is. Man,
but hey, listen, guy kept us cool. I don't think
his wife thinks said he less of them for it.
You know what, He's got his teeth and he's not hostile.
That's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Yeah, you know, it could have it could have ended terribly.
Like so let's say he has this machismo pride and
he tries to take on all these guys. Do you
think his wife wants him missing some teeth with a
broken eye socket in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Well, he stuck up for me. I mean, sometimes you
gotta put this aside. Did you guys ever watch the
show Louis with Louis c K. I Love Luis k.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Okay, So there's like there is the one episode where
he goes on like a blind date with a woman
and these teenage boys kind of like get in Louis
face or they mess with his date and they like
threatened to beat him up, and he kind of SLINKs away.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Do you remember that period?

Speaker 4 (48:57):
And he ends up following the kid, this like teenage
following him on the subway all the way home and
he finds out that like the kid's father is like abusive.
But then he ends up having a conversation with the
kid's father, He like waits for him outside and then
like knocks on the door.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
That show is actually really good.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
A quick question just and I don't know you're shot
on time, But if you see a car fly past
you on the highway, yeah, do you want to see
him pulled over? Or do you want to see them
sideways in a ditch a mile up the road.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
It's funny you should say that because I always say
to my wife, I hope we see this guy pulled over,
because you don't want to see anyone get hurt.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
That's ridiculous. Is he gonna learn his lesson? Oh man,
maybe he needs to be in a ditch. I don't
know what. I guess we'll say. Can I just add
on one thing? Sure?

Speaker 4 (49:37):
To the Luis that episode, his date finds it very
off putting that he didn't stand up to that teenage kid,
and she like dumps him. She's like, now I don't
like this, Like you didn't you didn't do what you're
supposed to do, and so like it kind of it
ticked him off so much they end up following the
kid home.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
You should be off putting.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
That's a great point. Rich In the comments under this shit.
There were a few women and they started arguing with
each other because a few of them said, if my
guy didn't at least get in the way and move
me out of that situation, I would think less of him.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
That's what we're saying.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
I'm joking when I'm saying he should give him a
triple nag and knocker. But he didn't do anything that's creaky.
That's the question. That's the critic taped it.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
He did.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yeah, by the way, this guy directly, this guy got
the last laught.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Tim you ain't no friend of mine. Let's go Midweek.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
Major, Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of
the week. When mid Week Major Major that we throw
sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas,
and it's like the kids say.

Speaker 8 (50:45):
That's.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Definitely seeing our score. Mid Week Major. I gotta go
real quick to give Spotty six full minutes. You weren't
cutting the segment cutting.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
You hear the horns, you know you've made it to
the middle of the week. We roll the big red
Love dice in the main studio.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I wrote me nine, Roldon nine, I'm done rolled the two.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
If you just cove gets first take and now, ladies
and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from
Scotch Plains New Jersey, Spotty boy, do you know.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
How much effort I put into this? You would really
be upset? Oh so we have no time left play
the water the squirrel water scheme. All right? Uh file
this under the oddest of friendships. I'm really angry.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
We all know and love Christopher Bad Dog Russo while
he's developed developed quite the budding relationship with none other
than Hollywood star Timothy challow May.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Timothy shallow May say what I know, Believe it or not.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
The Complete Unknown star was making the rounds recently promoting
his Bob Dylan biopic. Made an appearance on college Game
Day and everyone was impressed with the knowledge that he presented,
including Christopher Bad Dog Russo.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
He was like, get this, got this guy that's out,
guy out? Yeah, well loves him.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
It got back to Timothy Shallamey He's like, oh, we
got it, we gotta fly this. He has to come
to the premiere. So Timothy shallow May invited Mad Dog
Russo to London to the London premiere of A Complete Unknown.
Mad Dog's daughter documented the whole thing, the trip there,
right up to meeting Timothy shallow May at the London premiere.
It's It's incredible. Go check it out on the social media.

(52:19):
It was there's clips all over it online.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Midwek of Major.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
This is major. Timothy shallow May has proven that he's
a bros bro. He's changed how everyone perceived him. We
all thought he was like a like a theater goon.
Turns out he's a cool guy. And this makes him
even cooler in my opinion, to treat mad Dog Russo
with the respect he deserves. There's so many people that
are like, who's this mad dog guy?

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Mad Dogs the.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Guy that paved the way for everybody else. We know
him personally, we worked with him. I love this story.
It's major.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
I agree with you, I love and I love it's
the modern day Snoop and Martha Stewart.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
I really honestly watching them embrace cracks me up because
we all know man Dog he's a really wild guy.
And just the fact that he loves Dylan, he loves
the sports knowledge of Challaby. It's a really funny friendship
and it was fun to watch and it proves that
Shallamay knows what he's talking about. He said he wanted
to portray Ernie Johnson in a documentary someday, a biopick.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
He knows the sports. He knows what mad Dog Russo
means to the sports game.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
All Right, we've been talking recently about the decline of
NBA viewership. Well, perhaps viewership is down because fans have
turned their attention to the adult site OnlyFans.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Oh, not that I know what's going on there. The
comparison is staggering.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
So last year, the NBA's combined payroll for the season
was four point nine billion, Yeah, compared to OnlyFans creators
pulling in.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
A whopping six point six billion.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Obviously, it's a little bit of a clickbait headline because
there's five hundred and sixty NBA players and close to
two million content creators on only fans. That being said,
not all of them are pulling a bank. There's only
a few, select few that make that much money. So
anyway might bring those they might have to bring back
a little more skintt into the NBA. What do you
think those short Geordan's Midweek or major? That's major, because

(54:05):
we're very aware of how much money NBA players make
When you realize that OnlyFans is dishing out six point
six billion dollars. It puts things in perspective. You're like,
are you serious? It makes me want to quit this job.
No one's gonna pay for you six point six billion dollars.
I only made six dollars and six cents on my
Lost Lonely Fans page, So I must be doing something wrong.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
No, I think this is major because it's just a
major industry, another major headline. Yeah, and I'll tell you why,
because it's uh, it just shows that men love sports,
women love sports.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
But you know what, men also love boody.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Six billion dollars guys are spending to look at random
girls paying and Danny g Off here you pointed out
something interesting earlier. Two million creators. There's two million parents
out there.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
That are like, what do you do? It's mind blowing,
what do you do? There's two million Dad's day.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Their revenue by the way, in twenty twenty three of
was one point three billion with a B everybody.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
That's how much they put in their pocket. Do these
people not realize that porn is free? I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to start putting my reject stories
on normally fans you know, watch me read them spot
the The old saying is keep your kid off the poll.
Now it's like keep them off the fans, keep them
off the of all right. Uh, speaking of NBA, I'd
be remiss if I didn't mention that Lebron was the
special guest on the Kelsey Brothers New Hype podcast this
past week, and speaking of ratings, addressed the Christmas Day

(55:37):
ratings battle between the NFL and the NBA. If you recall,
Lebron after the game was like, yeah, you know Christmas
Day below or you know it belongs to the NBA.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Well, he did concede, saying, obviously the NFL did.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Have bigger ratings, but because of Beyonce and I had
nothing to do with the game. If you recall, they
had about sixty five million viewers on game day for
the NFL. He also addressed one of his famous haters
online who tweeted out when Lebron turned thirty, He's like, ah,
this guy won't last much longer. He said that that
tweet haunted him for his entire thirties, and funny enough,

(56:09):
the guy actually posted recently on his fortieth birthday, saying
he's not gonna last much longer. So Lebron had fun
with that midweek or major? I think it's major. The
whole story's major. Anything involving the New Heights podcast, huge show,
Lebron James, Big World's Collide makes big news. The only
mid part of it of it is him attributing the
ratings to Beyonce. I'm not saying she didn't help, but

(56:31):
the NFL clobber them regardless.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Regardless. I agree.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Oh, listen, I think the story is so admit because
it's all stuff we know, even though the names are big.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
That's so I don't know.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
I mean, I think the clips you see with like
Lebron and the Kelsey brothers are funny. I like their interactions.
But you know what, Lebron's still bringing it to forty.
I thought that tweet was funny. And Beyonce that is
standing alone on Netflix now, people like, want to just
watch that halftime.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
He said, isolated show on Netflix. You want to sneak
one more? Go ahead, Let's come on this. Oh this
is salacious. Still sticking in the NBA. So Kevin Love
facing some social.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Media backlash for a post he made after Monday's night
night's game versus the Clippers. So the Heat lost one
O nine to ninety eight after giving up sixty nine
points in the second half. So Love went on Instagram, Oh,
this actually combines only fans as well, posting a viral
or photo of the viral OnlyFans model, who was known
for having relations with over one thousand men in a day. Dude,

(57:28):
that happened this week, she said, with one thousand, fifty
seven men in one den, with twelve hours twelve hours.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
With the cat.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
By the way, listen to this caption when someone asked me,
how f to our second half was last night? So
everyone was like, like all the cloud that section was
going wild, Like, bro, I didn't know you were like this,
How could.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
You post this? What the heck?

Speaker 1 (57:46):
So a little bit of a you know, an eye
opening post by Kevin Love midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I think it's major.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
He knows that the NBA and only Fans are competing,
so it's like, if you can't meet him, join them.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
You know, I was trying to come by in the world.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
I think it shows a little a little humor out
of Kevin Love, who you know has been known as
a great you know great man in the NBA. He
deals with a lot of mental health. He's addressed that.
Kevin Love is a good dude, and I love showing
that side of his humor. Listen, it's not like a
vulgar joke. I mean, it's funny, hilarious, kindly joke. Yeah time, BB,
you're up.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Yeah, Sorry Spot, Hey dB, sorry to make you rush.
That was a good segment. Don't worry, guys. It allows
me to just tell everyone that again.

Speaker 5 (58:25):
Only Dance, we're pushing it off to fourth quarter twenty
twenty five, so early twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Subscribe to Only Day Lady. Yes Hot, Danny G and
I are are. Please don't make it. They're like Dan
Patrick's notunt involved.

Speaker 5 (58:39):
If they're a pre or can I get it on
the sounds hot fourth quarter twenty twenty five, Mark your calendars.
Shot Quinn Houston, Texans, Daniels and Danny's are all welcome
as well.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Danny.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
I love when when you Cavino myself, Sam Spot. If
we end up seeing the same stupid article and we
feel the same way, I'm convinced, like, yo, we're onto something.
I saw the same clickbait thing that you saw where
it's like Tom Brady really blowing it in the booth.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
And by the way, I don't think Tom Brady's as
bad as people think. I'm not saying listen, he's no,
he's you know, it's not Al Michael's in his prime.
He's not Mike Tarico or you know, Joe Buck. He's
not Tony Romo.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
He's I get it. He's not Collin's Worth. Tony Romo's
be getting a lot of criticism too, though everyone's just
a hater. Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Greg Olsen's great, He's probably stronger than Brady. But Brady's
Tom Brady. I don't think he's bad. I think he's
getting better. I think he's good, not great. I'm not
gonna I think if you've got Tom Brady, be Tom Brady.
His work ethic will put him where he needs to be.
But the reality is, I don't think Tom Brady's bad
at all. And some people are like he's terrible. People
just hate.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Oh the headline said Brady makes major mistake on airon
I click clicked on it.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Like what do you do?

Speaker 12 (59:53):
Like?

Speaker 2 (59:54):
Oh man, Tom Brady.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
I got to see this too because I watch that
game and I don't remember a big mistake, would you
believe Tom Brady? Which is something this is something every
single person in this room has probably done twenty times
in their life. He was talking about the Eagles and
he goes, yeah, no, on that third down, the Phillies.
I'm sorry, Philadelphia, the Eagles. They should have shifted right there.
And people said he called them the Phillies.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
He doesn't even know what.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Sport he's calling. Everyone that knows sports has one time
been like the Phillies. I'm sorry, I mean Philadelphia Eagles
because they're baseball teams of Phillies.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
That's so dumb. I felt so dumb for even clicking
on this article. Horrible. Yeah, to give them that much criticism,
he said, Phillies. Woman to do. Just because you're great
at some things doesn't mean you're great at others.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
And that's why I said he's not great, can't be
great across the board, but he's not bad. But he
also welcomes the hate. That's a slip. People slip all
the time. That's dumb because there's a microscope. Here's a
guy that lived in the NFL for all those years.
He doesn't know it's Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
He doesn't know. They're not the Phillies idiots, sloppy time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
No, there's a there's a microscope on him and is
out the gate? Is he the best broadcaster ever?

Speaker 8 (01:01:03):
Know?

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Could he improve? He definitely can improve. But I don't
think he's bad, right, I mean, I don't think he's
bad at all.

Speaker 11 (01:01:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Greg also was a stronger combat with Burkhart. He really
is good. But he's not Tom Brady. But he's not.
So it's just give and take. Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
It happens in all businesses. So hey at coven On
Rich if you want to chime in on anything you
missed today.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Remember last week, Rich when you said Coveno and Rick
more coven On Ricke know my own name?

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
No one needs to write an article about it. This
guy doesn't even know his own name sports. He doesn't
even know the name of his own show. That's fun.
He's about the world famous kavin On Rick. I we'll
