some Lakers just at a second, uh Luca, and some
fights and some fun. We're gonna talk a lot of
NFL there are. I'm gonna go out on a limb

(01:32):
and I'm gonna sound like Chris Harrison or Jesse Palmer
on The Bachelor. These are the best thanks Giving Day
football games ever. I don't ever remember a game mattering
on Thanksgiving because it's always like a divisional Cowboys or
Lions game that doesn't have, like, you know, big steaks.
I said it yesterday, I'll say it again. I think

(01:53):
whoever loses the Lions Packers game tomorrow might be out.
I know this, said Turkey Ass. Oh dude it. There's
a lot on the line, Turkey Ass and playoff hope.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
So Hanker's Lions, Chiefs, Cowboys, Bengals, Ravens will be breaking

that you could wake up with us early tomorrow morning.
Get all hype for it, because we're filling in for

You hat Cavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports

(02:26):
it's Wednesday, turning your hump day into a hump night
party night. And just like every Wednesday, Rich, even though
it's a holiday week, we got midweek major.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
We got prizes to give away, We have lots of
fun to get to. So I see we dive right
into I mean, why wait, let's talk Lakers and Luca
and what a guy he said? Uh yo, Jackson Hayes.
If you get fined, I got you back. You're right, guy,
But Danny g you want to set the stage of
what happened last night. You're watching the Lakers like you
do all the time. I'm catching more highlights and you

(02:57):
than most. But you're watching the whole you're locker.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, you don't watch NBA until the n season tournament.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I mean, can I tell you something. I feel like
I almost feel like it's a slightly embarrassing thing that
they're still sticking with it.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I mean, hey, dude, look at the World Baseball Classic.
The first few years it was kind of ass and
now you got show Hey, well, show Hey was involved,
but he was recently announced again he's gotten better.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And better every year.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
So it's like, innovator Die, you got you can't get
up that quick, dude.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I agree that. I'm a firm believer in your pal
Gary Vayner, Chuck Gary Vee, who says innovator die. I
love how they tried different things at the All Star
break in hockey. They tried to do the international thing.
They're doing that with the All Star Game for the
NBA now. I like the mindset of innovator die. Come
up with some fresh new ideas, none of the none
of the old blame stuff that's not working. But sometimes

(03:51):
when something doesn't work, a few times you pivot and
I don't know, I know. It's like very euro and
very soccer like group. This group and this group. We
laughed the other day, Danny g We looked at some
player's profile and it's like and NBA Cup champion and
it was almost a laugher. Right it was LIKENBA Cup. Yeah,
it was Austin Reeves. He's an NBA win.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
They're gonna keep tweaking that until they get it right. Hopefully,
hopefully it doesn't turn out like the NFL Pro Bowl.
But Luca has history with Chris Dunn Clippers from when
he played with the Maps. So these two have no
love loss already. They were chirping at each other during
the game. Uh, there's a play right out out of
bounds near the basket. The ball, the basketball gets pushed

(04:34):
right into Luca's chest by Chris Dunn, knocks at the back.
Luca makes the face he always makes, like did you
say rush? Did you see that? And Jackson Hayes comes
to be the uh, you know, the uh enforcer, the goog,
the goog, the quarterback exactly, and he shoves Chris Dunn
and Chris Chris Dunn went about four step sideways, and

(04:55):
he retaliated by throwing an open hand. I guess you
could call it a want of slap punch, and he
connected slightly to Jackson Hayes's face. So double t on
doone he's out of the game, and one technical on
Jackson Hayes the enforcer.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
So Luca then says, hey put Jackson Hayes's fine on
my tab because he had my back.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah. And then a few plays later, Lucas sets Jackson
Hayes up with a beautiful alley oop and the announcers
were like, God, it's paying off already having his back.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
You gotta love that as a Lakers fan, just seeing
not only the chemistry you were hoping for, but on
guys start getting each other's back, you realize that there's
a true camaraderie being built there in the Lakers this season.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, and we talked about DeAndre Ayton. We've talked about
him a few times so far this season. A nice
surprise so far for the Lake Show. But he's out
injured right now, and Jackson Hayes has stepped up, Kleeber
has gotten some playing time. So something that was a
major weakness for the Lakers, not having size, suddenly they
have a little depth in that department.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
And you're hearing all sorts of buzz about the greatest
trio in sports history, in NBA history, Luca Reeves Lebron
scoring ninety nine points, something ridiculous like that. You know,
fake Lakers fans are like, wow, this is all coming
together like we dreamed about. So it's kind of cool
to see how they're gelling like Magellan, and it's kind

(06:19):
of cool to see how things like that can bring
a team closer together.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Rich no diggity, no doubt, In fact, I'm reading our
feedback on the YouTube and show. You can go follow
watch everything at YouTube dot com, slash at covin on
Rich fsr Wes and Tommy Ashley Andrew Rivera, a bunch
of people hitting us up already, say in the NBA
trying desperately to make this cup happen, and it just

(06:47):
doesn't doesn't seem like it's clicking, but tweaks.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
All right.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Let me give you an inside example. One of the
games that sweep in the nation is our Friday game.
It's a new game called Brainwave that we play. Right
Danny g came up with a great idea. The first
few weeks it kind of fell flat because it needed
a few tweaks. Instead of giving up on it, we
made the adjustments and now it's our favorite game, you know.

(07:13):
I mean, if the idea is there and it's not clicking,
you still got to ride it out and maybe try
to tweak it a little bit.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I think that's what the NBA is trying to do.
There's gotta be something, well, you know what, I'm thinking,
There's got to be some type of unconventional prize where
what happens at the mid season or the Early Season
Cup has some type of bearing on the NBA playoffs come,

(07:41):
you know spring, like hey, you get to pick your
first round opponents, something so unconventional or weird, like oh,
you're the You know you could flip seeds with someone
else in your in your conference, like you got to
know when.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
To say when and no one to switch it up.
But you also have to be able to make those adjustments.
I think think that's a societal problem in relationships and
in life today. If things don't work in relationships, if
things don't work at the job, if things just aren't working,
we're so quick to jump and try to figure out
something else instead of trying to fix what's there. Like
the grass isn't always greener. Sometimes you just need to

(08:16):
water the grounds. I'm saying, relationships don't last. Kids, jump ship,
let it ride out, make some adjustments, it'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Take a page out of Squid Game the Challenge. I know,
Danny J. You're watching Kevino. You watched right, I'm watching you.
Take a page out of squid Game the challenge where
you know you win, you'll win a game or a prize,
and there's like some cool twist, like I feel like
there's no twists. It's like, are you win the NBA
Cup and no one's being like, oh wow, congratulations Pacers

(08:47):
or whoever won last year? No one gives us the crap.
No one cares. But if you told me, all right,
let's say, let's say the team that wins and this
won't happen, But I'm saying, how cool would be if
it did. Whoever wins the NBA Cup early with paint guns? No,
but you you the winning team gets like some type

(09:08):
of advantage in the playoffs, like you start a series
one to zero, or you get to switch or pick
your opponent for round one of the playoffs, are switch
seeds or switch two other team seeds, like you get
some type of golden ticket. I know it sounds ridiculous,
but why else would anyone care about who wins the
Cup if there's no if there's no payoff, well, well

(09:32):
it's a payoff you get. Oh you get a cup
that no one gives a crap about if it's hung
in the hung in the rafters. Became a joke.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I actually do agree with you, but I'm sure there
are people that care. And do the players care. That's
another question that you would need to ask Austin Reeves,
ask the Lakers, ask them how they feel about it.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
You can say what I'm private. Say what I'm saying
sounds dopey, but I do think that gimmicky stuff could
work once in a while. And if there was some
type of again, like an advantage card later when it mattered,
who would be Would you be opposed to that? If
I told you the team that won the Cup got
some type of advantage going into Round one of the

(10:14):
NBA playoffs. Now you're playing for something. It's like when
the All Star Game in baseball used to mean that's
the AL or NL got home field advantage in the
World Series. It meant something. When it doesn't. When it
doesn't mean anything, then the stakes are nonsense. You know. Well,
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
The NBA still is heating up, and we're seeing this
all pan out with the Lakers at the moment, at
least Lebron Luca Reeves, and.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
They secured a spot in the knockout round after their
victory last night. I know Rich is really excited.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
About I've wrote it down on my schedule way and
Luca moved to tenth all time in most forty point games,
which is insane. How old is Luca.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
He's already tenth all time in forty point games. That's
pretty impressive, man. So he's putting up some good numbers.
They're playing big, and that's why you have to have
a guy like his back. That's why Jackson Hayes says,
you know what I got you, bro, you know, as
my teammate, I got your back.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Dude. Esteban on Our In Show said, NBA stinks until
the playoffs. Guys, Rich isn't wrong. Maybe do something crazy
to spice it up. Jamie saying, you're wrong, but you've
never really been the biggest NBA fan. So I'm saying
there's gotta be people that do care or feel a
little different. I think a little here and there could
totally fix until I see someone wearing a NBA Cup

(11:35):
T shirt, like my team won the NBA Cup, Danny,
you've got one or no, no, he does not. Danny
probably has twenty five Lakers shirts and he does not
have the one when they won the Cup.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I would never get an in season Cup championship team shirt.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Jamian Boston said, riches on to something. What if there
was like a wild Card where in the first round
of the playoffs that team got like a you would
you get to pick what player on the other team
has to send the bench for five minutes in the
fourth courr like something absurd, Like that's gimmicky, that's.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
But you're right, something like having a field goal kickoff
in overtime with fat linemen in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh well, that sounds fun.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
So there's so many different things that that make me,
uh say hm when it comes to what happened last night?
Though I love watching the clips, I love watching the highlights.
I love watching seeing the teammates have each other's back,
and it makes me think of, you know, having your
buddies back, having your famili's back, like so many situations

(12:34):
like rich if you're let's say, at mixed company.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I've been here before.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
I've been at mixed company, and I've seen my ex
wife fight and get into arguments with my friends and
not to get too personal, but I knew in these
particular situations my wife was wrong, my friends were right.
Do I always have to have my wife's back even
though I know she's wrong? So this poses so many

(12:59):
questions to me when I think of when I think
of Jackson Hayes having Luca's back.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
You're not saying anyone was wrong or right, but.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
It makes me think of do you always have to
have your wife's back?

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Do you always have to have your friend's back? And
the worst you.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Know, he's wrong, if he's drunk, if he's stupid, Like
when to have people's back is the first.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Thing I want to sleep on the couch or I
mean exactly right, honestly, Ryan's right. You have to, like
unapologetically and stupidly at times defend the person you love, right,
Like there have been times where I've had exes fly
off the handle and I've gone up to Pete. I've
defended her and then gone up to people to be like, listen,
I have to defend her. It's my girlfriend. But I understand,

(13:39):
so like I'm trying like de escalating a situation, like
I get you, but I have to defend her. So
let's orry about you.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Know, it's a big party night, right, You're out with
your pals and your friend is belligerent, drunk, maybe hitting
on a woman that's taken. You know that your friend's
in the wrong. He starts a little bit of a
tussle or he starts a problem at the bar. He's
your friend, you know he's wrong. Do you always have
to have his back even when you know he's wrong?
You know, all these things come to mind when I

(14:09):
see what happens. Do you look at it. We're on
the same team. I have your back no matter what.
Is that the rules you live by, And I will
tell you straight up, those are the rules that I
live by. You know, I know my wife was in
the wrong ex wife now, but I knew she was
in the wrong. But I'm not sleeping on the couch.
I gotta go back with her. I gotta sleep with her.
I'm gonna have her back no matter what. It's loyalty,

(14:30):
it's the team, and you got to stand by those rules.
If your buddy's in the wrong, but someone's starting with him,
or he's getting his ass kicked, or he's getting into
an argument, but he's your buddy, that's the team you
play for. You have his back, you know. I think
those are the rules you play by. Those are the
rules of life, those are the rules of sports. That's
the first thought. Then I have a second thought, basically

(14:51):
a couple things. I think there's a great sign for
Lakers fans like Danny g Yeah, Bill's chemistry. What you're
seeing is you're seeing the trusting camaraderie that Luca has
already developed with this team, where you know why Lucas
able to score forty point games like this because he
knows his team has his back.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
But a great sign is when your people get your back,
because you're telling me, you haven't seen athletes on a
professional or collegiate level where there's a tussle and you're like, wow,
their team did not really have their back, and you
can tell that's because they don't command that camaraderie, or
they don't have that chemistry, or or something's missing. So

(15:30):
that was Number One. Lakers fans should be pleased that
guys are quick to defend their star player. Number two,
you I don't know my second let me thought, well,
based on you were saying to your ex wife, Yeah,
I've seen Cavino in that scenario and it sucks. I'll
just say this. I've been at dinners where I've seen
Cavino's ex wife and our video guy Spot having like

(15:53):
the bitchiest little fight and I'm just there like I'm
like the meme of the guy eating popcorn, and I'm like, oh,
Cavino knows his ex wife is wrong, but he has
to get her back good times, right spot? Oh yeah, great, yeah,
great times? Oh so great, so great. And my third
thought is is it backstabbing in nature or wrong if

(16:14):
you go up to the other party afterwards and say, hey, listen, man,
I'll give you an example. I'm my softball team. I
know this is small potatoes, are just Sunday softball. There's
a guy on our team that's a bit of a hothead,
sort of a jerk at times, but he's my teammate.
He collided with a guy and it was not right.
He was wrong. Fall teams start mouthing off and tussling.

(16:36):
I'm pulling my buddy back, like yo, bro quwan kwon.
I go up to the guy and the other team like, yeah,
he gets a little heated our Yo. Sorry, man, you
just keep your cool. Is it backstabby to go up
to the other person it is.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I'm not saying you could be peacemaker, but you don't
have to make it seem like he's off the handle
and he's just a blowharder, he's a jerk, Like now
you're making.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Him look bad.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
You know, you're supposed to have his back, not to
make him worse, so but being peacemaker, like, hey, man,
I'm sorry about what happened there. You know that's fine,
but you don't want to, like overemphasize the fact that
he was wrong. So it's a little back saby on
how you handle it. But being peacemaker, I think is

(17:20):
just part of the deal. Now again, Chris Dunn shoves
the ball into Luca, into his chest and Hayes pushes back,
has Luca's back done, throws the punch. Luca then says, yo, man,
I'm pumped. He had my back, Jackson Hayes had my back.

(17:44):
Put his fine on my tab. If you're going out tonight,
here's the other part of the question that comes to mind.
If you're going out tonight and there's a lot of
people going out tonight, party night, Wednesday night, and let's
say you're doing better than your other pals.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
And let's say you're the type of guy that brags
about it on social media. Oh you got a new Porsche.
Why don't you brag about it? Right, people know you're
doing well. It's just the world we live in. Are
you expected to pick up the tab. You know why, Leeke,
you know why Luca has the tab? Well a because
Jackson Hayes had his back, but also Luca makes five

(18:25):
times more than him. Yeah, I think listen, I think
part of the uh part of the deal is if
you're that guy that lets the world know they're doing
really well, well.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
You also then you that you don't have to be
braggy to know and today's world people just know.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I'm saying that, Like, if you're posting pictures of you
and your h you know, random girls you're hooking up
with in Bora Bora, you're like on the you know,
the beaches of Aruba. I mean, you know, I'm all
in Europe again, and you're Instagram braggy guy. I think
if you meet up with some old buddies, drinks are
on you because I don't think you could, Like, you

(19:02):
got to almost follow through with the brag. Then if
you're gonna be all braggadocious, then you got to be
the guy being generous.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
And it's not just buddies. Even though tonight's a big
party night, it's family, right. A lot of people are
hanging out with family, catching up with family for the holidays. Thanksgiving,
maybe you go to the movies. Maybe you're going to
see Wicked with your family. Maybe you're doing something family oriented.
If you're the bread winner, if you're the Luca of
the family, they've had your back, they support you.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
You're the star of the family. Do you have to
flip the tab? You know?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Do you have to cover it the way Luca's doing it?
So Part A of this scenario last night, this whole
Laker's debacle, this whole tussle. Part A is loyalty, right
where does the loyalty stand?

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Part two is when to pick up the tab? So
your thoughts, and I'll say this, I agree with rich.
If it's known that you're the most successful, you don't
have to act like you're mister big shot.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
But you pick up the tab.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's plain and simple, and you insist, Yeah, I worry
about it, man, Yo, Bro, I got it, trust me.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
If I didn't have it, I'd let you know next
time you have it. But right now, while.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Things are good, I got it, bro, trust me. It
is my pleasure. Your thoughts, do you do you pull
the Luca? Do you say I got it? You say
I got it? You say I got it?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
So you know what, I look at this as and
if I was Danny g I'd be extra pump because
everybody loves the little fireworks when they're watching the game.
But this is the ultimate, the ultimate chemistry builder, because
everything was done right. Jackson Hayes, protected the quarterback, protected
the star, he had Luca's back.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Boom, A great chemistry builder.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, b Luca shows appreciation, dude.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I'm only doing what I'm able to do.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
I'm scoring forty points, Me Reeves and Lebron we're scoring
ninety nine points. We're the greatest tree on sports because
dudes like you are protecting us and I appreciate it. So, Bam,
I got you back, and I'll pay for the fine,
and I'm letting the world know how much I appreciate
you protecting us and having my back in that moment.
You're pushing this guy because I couldn't because I'm Luca.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Everything about this just says that the Lakers are doing
all the right things, at least right now in the moment,
and that's just the chemistry builder.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
So Bam, what are your thoughts? Eight seven, seven, nine
to nine on Fox. We'll take all your feedback and
We're gonna talk a bunch of NFL tomorrow. The stakes
are high. I'm telling you some of these games coming
up are gonna be playoff deciders. They're gonna set the
tone for the final stretch of the NFL season, and
we'll go over a lot of NFL. We'll do midweek Major.
We've got some games, we got some prizes, just a

(21:36):
lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Our live chat popping' Covino and Rich FSR, Steve Rivers
hanging out, Danny Riley after show, but later Wes and Idaho,
Jeremy Lisa, a lot of people chiming in, a lot
of people saying we got it right when it comes
to loyalty and trust, and that's what the Lakers are
displaying protecting Luca last night and then Luca returning the favor, saying, Yo,

(22:03):
I got Jackson Hayes back, I got his fine, I
got his tab. So so many questions are posed based
on the Lakers drama last night. Again, Chris Dunn shoved
Luca and Jackson Hayes pushed Chris Dunn back.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's a question of loyalty. Do you always have your
friend's back, do you always have your wife's back? Even
if they're wrong.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
And when it comes to flipping the tab this weekend,
if you're the most successful or if you're doing well,
do you always have to take the tab?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
I mean, it's part of It's part of business.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's like you know, you got to dinner and people know,
you know he's doing well. And especially if you're having
drinks or dinner with someone, you hear them talk about
some type of struggle they're going through, then you gotta
cover them.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
And that's the way you got to look at it, too, right,
It's almost like an honor to It's not a brag.
It's an honor to get the tab because you might
not always be doing well, but it's an honor. You
should be thankful this week that you are well and
because you are, I got it.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I have one more thought about Luca and the chemistry
you see before your very eyes. I think that's the
number one thing that's downplayed in sports. We talk about
this all the time. Sure, I am a firm believer
in a radio station, a company, in office, anywhere there's
such a low emphasis where I think that should be

(23:29):
a predominant emphasis on chemistry, vibe, camaraderie, all these type
of things. I'm a Mets fan, as you know. Right,
two years ago, the Mets took the Dodgers to Game
six in the NLCS. Grimace Hack to a Girl, all
the gimmicks, all the fun oh my God with Jose Iglesias.

(23:51):
Last year's Mets team was flat and boring, and if
you ask some people inside that organization, you know what
they said. JD. Mortinez was a veteran presence in the
clubhouse that made everyone feel loose. And Jose Glesias with
the oh my God and the singing was like the
funny dude in the locker room in the clubhouse, getting
everyone loose. And you you forget that when you play

(24:14):
day in and day out, especially a long season like
baseball or the NBA or the NHL with his eighty
games or one hundred and sixty something games, seeing and
hanging out with people every day is a big part
of what makes the team successful. So when you're seeing
the Lakers click and personalities, enjoying each other's company, and
you see it sometimes like I saw Christian McCaffrey the

(24:35):
other day say that this may not necessarily be the
most healthy, best team he's been on, but He's like
the Niners really like each other, Like it's a team
that really enjoys being with each other. And you could
see that with Yuschek and Kid All and best locker
rooms he's been a part of. Yeah, So I mean,
you can't down you can't downloade of those things. I

(24:56):
was surprised he didn't say the best. I mean, be
honest about but I think those things are understated, right.
And you know, sometimes you see a player get traded
and you don't get it as a fan, but maybe
you're not in the in the mix where you'd be like, yeah,
no one really likes that guy. And but you know

(25:16):
who we're getting. We're getting a guy that's really likable.
So you might think this guy's better than that guy.
But this guy's standible.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
That shit that's never really accounted for when it comes
to payday bro Right, it's so important as far as
team and fun and cameras, strees, winning in life and
going out and and everything.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Think of offices you've worked in. Some are boring as
hell and some are fun. I really did this radio
shows on this network other networks where everyone that works
for the show is in a good moved because they're
happy to be part of it. Others are. They hated.
It's a reason. It's like a bad locker room, bad clubhouse.
And I think the Lakers are onto something. So Danny G,
congratulations to your team. I think you're one of the

(25:58):
only teams that ever shot to take that Oklahoma City
who was Now what are think seventeen to one or
nineteen in one? Well, before I lost track, it's seventeen
to one. Fresh.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
That's the key here, right, because the only thing that
OKC because OKAC has that chemistry defending champions obviously, but
they got the youth. And I'm not saying that the
Lakers are old, but they're older than the thunder So
if they could stay fresh and stay healthy, and they
could be what people are saying is the greatest trio
in NBA history, or they're playing like it any way,

(26:28):
to be fair, then they have a shot. As of now,
in this moment, they're looking like.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
They have a shot. All right, let's add a trip
in Vegas and then we'll go to I Love for
an update. What's up trip?

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Hey, good afternoon, guys. I look forward to waking.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Up tomorrow and here and in the morning.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh thanks Man.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
By the way, speaking of Luca, I'm pretty sure Luca
was traded to the Lakers. And you and I hung
that day because we were in Vegas, and I'm pretty
sure we bumped into at the bar that night.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
He waited for me that night and we were that's
we were both looking at our farms like is this real?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, it was a wild night, and then yeah, And
as Danny g says, sometimes as a Lakers fan, he's
still like not convinced it's true, Like is this real?
Like David at the dentist way back on Wednesday? Is
this real? Is this real life? So? What's up? Trip?

Speaker 6 (27:16):
So I was gonna say yes, obviously, loyalty and trust,
especially being.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
In the Navy when I was younger.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
And then if you are.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
The most successful, I think you do take care of
your friends.

Speaker 6 (27:26):
And I'll tell you one other thing. If I invite
you out, I should pay, regardless of my financial situation.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
That's just my opinion, you know what.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
That's a that's a very generous mindset. I think within
the dating world that's been lost because there's a lot
of young weenie dudes that don't pay for women anymore
and call me old school, but you ask a girl
on a date, you better be paying for her drinks
or dinner if you're if you're a real man, what
type of wimp ass dude is like we're gonna go
fifty to fifty on dinner. To me, that's take a
guarantee of no ass. Ever, like girl wants.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
To so with you, man, nothing puts you in the
friend zone and says that you're the biggest wimp if
you asked her out and you're going halvesies sound like
a man to us.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I would feel if I was on a date with
a girl and I was a single young man, and
I said the phrase like we're splitting this in that
same while I'm saying that I feel like I should
be tucking my junk between my legs. Hey, do you
mind going split skeys?

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Beat it?

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Especially as a girl dad, I would tell my daughter
tell that dude to beat it.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, if my daughter, who's only eight, when she gets older,
I have one rule. Some little boy asked you out
to coffee or you know, the starb's or a movie,
don't be with some chump. Ever, And by the way,
that doesn't mean we're being sexist or old school. And
that doesn't mean we're not saying women can't pay women. Hey,
throw some money in for dessert whatever, I don't know,

(28:48):
whatever makes you happy, you pay for lunch next time.
But if you're asking a woman out, you pay for her.
Simple as that. I agree with trip one thousand percent.
Thank you guys for all your feedback. It's cool to
see the Lakers jelling. When the Lakers are good, the
league is better. And you know your thoughts on this
and more.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
There's also a story about George Pickens and Midweek Major.
We have so much to get to on this party night,
Michael m hit us up on our live chat covin
own Rich FSR. You could watch what you hear Covin
O on rich FSR. He says, no on the tab,
like no on the tab. If you're doing well, you
don't flip the tab.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Be careful of you, be careful of you do a drunk,
high or sober. And I'll tell you why I went
to my ten year high school reunion, and I'll be honest.
I was being a little bit of a show off, okay,
because I came back there and like rich honesty. Well,
because at the time we were doing a TV show,
We're on the radio, and everyone's like, man, Rich is
doing you know, man, we're really happy for you.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Like I was getting a lot of like a lot
of love at the reunion because I was doing some
cool things, and we're doing cool things now. So I
was like feeling myself in the moment. So I was like,
you know what next rounds on me? And I looked around.
I'm like, oh my god, it's like a whole reunion class.
I looked at my credit card the next day and
I bought like a seven hundred dollars round. You know
what is interesting about it? Though, Okay, be careful with

(30:08):
your you know, confidence. All right, here's another situation. I know,
we gotta take a break in a second, but yeah,
all good you. No, let's say I'm on a double date.
Let's say it's me and my girlfriend Jordan.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Right, we're on a dinner date with her younger sister
and younger sister's husband. Right, they're younger than me. So
I feel at times, yo, man, I got it, and
it's an honor.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Dinner's on me?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Right?

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Do you feel like that's the good sort of move?
Sometimes Let's say you're going out to dinner with your
younger siblings. I was gonna say, Okay, you know what,
but Luca's younger than Chris Dunn in this situation, however,
far more successful, you know what. Think about those scenarios.
And then, of course I have a bunch of NFL
I want to get to, so not only going to
talk about paying for bar tabs, but I do have

(30:54):
a hypothetical when it comes to going out and paying.
But NFC playoff picture not clear at all, but I
said it yesterday. I think it is very clear based
on a few games. And we'll get to that next
right here, FSR Coveno and Rich. Hey, this is Jason McIntyre.

Speaker 9 (31:14):

Speaker 1 (31:48):
And we're getting ready for the ti RAC Play of
the day. It's time. Luca was hot, hot as fish
Crease last night, dropping twenty four points in the first
quarter alone.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
Nipper shooter sixty percent, Lakers sixty four percent.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
So I'll just let the defects Lucas.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Got cold and Luca now with twenty four in eleven minutes.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Nobody else in the game has double figures and he
has twenty four.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
H Sane man, Now that is your play of the day.
Lakers handle the Clippers one thirty five, one eighteen courtesy
of Lakers Television from Spectrum Sportsnet tirect Play the Day
And for over forty years, our good friends at ti
iraq been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free, free
road hazard protection, convenient installation options all at ti iraq

(32:40):
dot com. The way tire buying should be and rich.
You know.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I was talking to our resident Laker fan super producer
Danny g and he was saying that was one of
the bigger issues with the Lakers is that the Clippers
sort of always owned them in the regular season. That
was their only really bragging right and now Lakers have
solved that issue too, putting them in their play place
one thirty five eighteen looking nice.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
So if your Lakers fan, good for you. For your
Clippers fan, man, hey, why don't go out to that?
You know I was gonna say, I can't be alone
in this feeling. So if you're feeling like totally exhausted
but just so anxiously waiting multiple days to lay around
and watch football and eat, you're not alone. I'm like,

(33:22):
I'm pumped to be here. I love doing the show
with you guys, But I feel like, as a general public,
Thanksgiving in Black Friday just for the sense of like
literally laying around feeling like a slob watching football and
you know, you probably could turn the fireplace on, maybe
go outside, throw the football around a little bit. Like

(33:43):
everything about the next couple of days I think is
the mental refresher people need as you get into that
holiday vibe, because you know, before you know, we're gonna
be talking about Christmas. So I feel like the next
couple of days are so needed, like so needed.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
You know what the bad part is, and I agree
with you, But the bad part is I already feel
like a slab and we haven't even hid into the
feast yet, because I'm at the family's house. You know,
I'm visiting family and it's just treats and snacks everywhere,
and I don't have the willpower to say no. And
I'm like in that, in that holliy mindset. So I'm
just picking on everything in sight. Like I'm excited that
we're failing in for Dan Patrick tomorrow morning. We're gonna

(34:17):
have fun, But I'd also love the idea that that
show ends for us at nine am out here on
the West Coast. Then I plan on going home, putting
on a pair of sweatpants and maybe not moving for
forty eight.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Hours tying the strings.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Oh no string. I feel like, are you belly? Are
you waistband? Over the belly? You're under the under You
gotta let it. If you have a little belly, it
flaps over. You go as you call it.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I never understood the over the belly, like we got
maternity pants on with Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty's over the farley.
Farley is below the belly. We call it farley or dumpty.
Which way do you go?

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Well, I'm just saying I think I can't be the
only guy that's like, you know what, starting tomorrow, I'm
gonna put on sweatpants and be disgusting for forty eight hours,
watch some great football, and you know, refresh and they
come back to work, you know, fresh on Monday and
get ready for Christmas before you know it. But I
do want to talk NFC North for a second, and
then we're getting away some prizes do midweek major. I

(35:16):
had a hypothetical because yesterday I did break down the
NFC North and how you got the Bears, the Packers
and the Lions, and conventional wisdom tells you that when
you look at the schedule we did, if you missed
yesterday's show the podcast, we broke down each of those
teams remaining games, and the Lions have the toughest road ahead.
They really do. If they lose tomorrow to the Packers

(35:37):
and they're seven and five, and then they have to
go play the Rams and they have a couple of
divisional games, like the Packers would be if it would
be seven and four, they'd be seven to four and one.
The Lions, I'm saying, would be seven and five. Oh yeah, yeah,
the Lions would be on thin ice because then they
have to go play the Rams, so it's a tough
little road. Let me ask you of the three quarterbacks

(36:00):
who would be letting down the fan bases and the
league the most. Is it Jared Goff not making the playoffs?
Is it Jordan Love with that big contract and you
know everyone thought he's the future of that division? Or
would it be Caleb Williams? Like because if they're eight
and three in first place, if they failed down the stretch,
that means him and Ben Johnson didn't finish.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Like this is an easy team, But I'd love to
open it up to everybody eight seven to seven ninety
one Fox think about it's the Lions, I think because
their windows sort of closing if they if they don't,
if they're not making it happen now, then when are
they gonna make it happen?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah? The other guy's younger quarterbacks, younger teams still on
the come up. But think of the time Campbell and Goff,
Lafleur and Love, Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, which combo
of coach quarterback would be the most disappointing if they're
the team that fails to make the postseason. We'll take
your feedback. Next, Ryan's hanging out low and Crown, Danny

(36:53):
g and thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation. It's a
party night. We're glad you're here. It's also a Stranger
Things Wednesday Night. Oh, no doubt that comes out to
in five with the kids forty five years old though
it's our seventy. Yeah, I I know. The last time
Cavino watched Sesame Street for Facto was hanging out with
Katie Perry wearing that low cut shirt. Do you remember that?

Speaker 2 (37:14):
I mean, truthfully, the only time I watched Sesame Street,
I was never, even though I agree it's important for kids,
and my daughter actually watched, right. My biggest takeaway from
Sesame back in the day was one, two teeth, five, six,
seven and nine, ten, eleven twelve.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
I was more of a mister Rogers. I love. Both
my kids are big Sesame Street kids. They're little. My
daughter was too, for sure, but no, we you know
to have all the videos and all the celebrities, you're you,
you know, you know you made it when you appear
on Sesame. I remember as a little kid, Keith Hernandez
and Mooki Wilson. I remember as a little boy being
like the Mets are on Sesame Street and now they

(37:52):
got like, you know, Jason Derulo dancing with them ushers. Yeah,
loves the usher cost in that Sesame Street zone right now.
Cookie Monster books, he has Cookie Monster toys, and he
loves the count. He walks around the living room and
he says, one, oh, was he counting the Raiders wins
that would have been watched? Mouth would be?

Speaker 3 (38:13):
That would have been And CoA just flipped you off
like Gino Smith does to fans.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
What's up, Isaac, we.

Speaker 10 (38:21):
Have a Sesame Street New York Mets count update.

Speaker 6 (38:25):
Here we go.

Speaker 7 (38:26):
Bitch, you told me Mookie Wilson baby.

Speaker 6 (38:30):
Strike loan count most important.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Wait till Mookie throws the ball. They were great, some
classic sssory shirts. So I think, uh, you nine disappointing
losses for the Raiders. A bet their time next year. CoA, Yeah,
but that is that is a great show. So anyway,

(38:53):
enjoy your time with friends. I think he has Lakers
games forty PA again. So you know, let's get back
to the NFC North real quick, right quick. I post
what I thought was a hell of a question, so
I hope you feel the same way. What coach quarterback
combo would be most disappointing to see not make the postseason.

(39:16):
Because we did the math yesterday, we don't need to
go over it again. But there looks like there's going
to be four teams fighting for three wild cards because
you gotta look at the West, and while they might
not be as good, the forty nine Ers and the
Seahawks have pretty easy schedules in comparison to the NFC North.
So of the Bears, Lions, and Packers, one of those

(39:40):
teams likely not to make the playoffs, and they might
not make the playoffs with like a ten and seven record.
So let me ask you, Matt Lafleur, Jordan Love. Lafloor's
three and five in the postseason been with the team
since twenty nineteen, only one losing season, so the Packers
are perpetually there. Year after just a matter of could

(40:01):
they get past that NFC championship game with Lafleur, Jordan
Love the predecessor to Aaron Rodgers, would that be a
disappointment Now you go to Detroit, Dan Camp has time
in my mind just to answer the question. The Floor's
the longest tenured of those three, so Packers that would
be them missing right, What would you feel about that?

(40:22):
Dan Campbell started out three and thirteen biting kneecaps. Everyone
made fun of it, but then they turned it around.
They are back to back division winners the last two years.
They won that NFC North and you know, disappointing playoff losses.
People are really pulling for them as the underdog that's
never won a Super Bowl. They enrich that would be
a step back if they didn't make it. Jared Goff,

(40:43):
you know it's been there since twenty twenty one lost
the Super Bowl with the Rams. Did that trade for
Matthew Stafford? Right now?

Speaker 3 (40:51):
I think the Lions are the answer here.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
And then I was gonna say, and then the Bears,
first time first year coach Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams
look like, Wow, that's working out exactly like Chicago plans.
A franchise that has great history. But I think we
could all agree that other than a Super Bowl appearance
against the Cult where Peyton Manning beat them and remember
Devin Hester with the the kickoff returns to start the game,
other than that random appearance by the Bears, a story

(41:17):
franchise that has sort of stunk since our childhood right,
since they were great in the eighties and it was
remembers they were Remember was like Niners, Cowboys, Bears, Redskins,
that that was our childhood and then the Bears have
sort of been mediocre since. I think the Bears have
a lot of reason to be really happy right now.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
So I think again, but that's a step forward. Yeah,
I think teams are step forwards. If the Lions don't advance,
that's a step backward. And I got to quote you.
I hate to quote the great Rich Davis, but who
talks about little windows more than you. This little window
of opportunity will continue to close.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
For Detroit if they don't do it.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
You know, they've been there the past two three years.
I think now's the time. And it seems like they've
fallen off for sure, but it's time for them to
step up. Yeah, for every other team you mentioned, that's
a step forward. For them, it'd be a step backward.
I hate to put Isaac on the spot, but he's
such a clever, knowledgeable guy. Sam Laporta, Is there a
timeline for his return because he's a big part of

(42:18):
that Detroit offense, and especially without Ben Johnson making the
cult for Detroit anymore. That Detroit looks a little, a
little suspect they might be the odd one out.

Speaker 10 (42:27):
Uh, let me check the Lions status reports.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
It's them, Dan Campbell, Are you guys, bros. No, that's
that's what That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 10 (42:36):
I mean, he and I have comparison comparative amounts of coffee.
This is as of yesterday. Quote from Dan Campbell. Sam
did have a procedure and he's going to be out
for a while. I think we would be fortunate to
have a chance to get him back for the rest
of the season at some point. I think that is
very very slim unquote.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
So maybe maybe a postseason appearance and a that's if
they make it. So I don't want to do too
much schedule watching. But to answer the question, I think
we're all in agreement that the Lions would be the
most disappointing to the fan base, and that coach quarterback
Combo guse golfs not a He's not a young Caleb
Williams or Jordan Love type. He's the veteran of those quarterbacks.
Dan Campbell made such progress, so to take a step

(43:15):
back would be disappointing. But I did tell you about
their schedule coming up, and it's not nice if they
got thirty one too. Just to make it clear, he
feels so much older. I'm sorry that you.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Know what doesn't feels older, but those other dudes are
a lot younger, So you know, you.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Know why feels older because no, he he got to
the super Bowl pretty quickly at the Rams, and because
he was traded straight up for Stafford, you're assuming they're
similar in age, but no, Stafford's got a five plush
years on him. But let me just real quickly tell
you what the Lions have coming up in the next
few weeks, just to show you how it's.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Not quickly because Rich we got Mike's Wednesday Words of
Wisdom and prizes to give.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Him and I really can't wait. You're right, I know,
but they played the Packers on Thanksgiving, and then they
have to play the Cowboys, who look like they got
some life. They go to play the Rams across the
country in LA, then they play the Steelers. It just
doesn't seem like an easy road for the line. So
unless the Lions get hot, I think Dan Campbell's gonna

(44:11):
have to look at this as the year where oh
we took a step back, and the Lions might have
to figure out where do we go from here to
get back? So we shall see. I could be totally wrong.
Lions run the table and I look like an idiot.
But to me, as of right now, Lions lose tomorrow
to the Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Lines are done. Yeah, I agree, mark my words. High
stakes while we're eating turkey tomorrow. Yeah, high turkey and
high stakes. All right, let's get into it. We do
this every Wednesday. You know the guy that runs his place, Mike.
It's such a good dude.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
He came in here and in all sincerit, he's like,
Thanksgiving my favorite holiday because it's about being grateful and
it's about being thankful. And I was like, Mike, you're
being very sincere. Now I give him a big hunk.
So Mike's the best. It's a wisdom and if you
could repeat them verbatim, you win a Cavin on Rich Football.

(45:06):
Let's do this Mike's words of wisdom. It's time for
the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Just for clarification, guys, big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here he does not run this place.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
It's not the minutes you spend at your Thanksgiving feast
that will make you fat. It's the seconds.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Okay, that stupid. I don't love it, but I like it.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
You know, if you can repeat that verbatim one more time,
I don't even I don't think you should, but if
you want, let's do it one more time.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
It's not the minutes you spend a your Thanksgiving feast
that will make you fat. It's the seconds.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Get it the second, good one, Mike, repeat that word
for word and you went a covene on Rich Fox
Sports Radio, NERF Turmo Football. They're sweet keeping in the trunk,
thrown around with your kids cove.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
You've already had fits there at your house?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yes, yes, seriously, man, it's like carb Central in New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
With my parents. It's like Steve and you want some
bagels with your pizza. I'm like, mom, how?

Speaker 2 (46:21):
And then there's King Hawaiian role you want an English
muffin with your pizza. It's like, no, Mom, I mean,
stop pushing the carbs. It's insane, mom, possible to stay
healthy when you're visiting family.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Mom's houses always have like you said, carb Central. I
was facetiming with Cavino this morning and I saw his
mom's kitchen. No joke like English muffins, muffins, bread towards.
It's like, yo, what did do? Moms?

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Just Carbs set you up. So it's crazy man. So hey,
thank you guys. If you could repeat, you win a prize.
Now that being said, by the way, well Danny g
gets the phones, going to get a winner eight seven
seven ninety nine out Fox like Rich said, Let's talk
about George Pickens and what he appeared to say about

(47:07):
Eagles fans.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Now he has since deleted it, right, but the sentiment
was funny offensive. I mean no, no, no, but like
you know, he threw an N word in there, which
you know, well, I mean the black guy. So all right,
So George Pickens puts out there on social media and

(47:29):
deletes it mocking Eagles fans. I guess he's going back
and forth with some people, Eagle fans mocking him being
that he's a cowboy. Yeha said, he's arguing with with
with Eagles fans that he says N words known for
their sandwiches. Insinuating like, yo, Philly, you don't even you
don't even know for your eagles. You know, for cheese steaks.

(47:50):
Your cheese steaks are more popular than your eagles. That's funny.
That's but I guess he deleted it because I guess
he's just I don't want trouble. But in my mind,
you put something other and deleted it, you d have
more attention to it, right, But yeah, known more for sandwiches.
So here's my question, has anyone ever sticks you could eat?

(48:12):
Has any o y'all hit me up with some boys
to men on that when we come back from our
next commercial, Little motown Philly back again. I look at
it this way. Sometimes someone says something to you and
it can be the dumbest insult, but for some reason
it bothers you.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Yeah, and I think misconceptions too comes to mind. So
I like both angles here. I'm gonna run with yours.
But you know, being known for your sandwiches, is that
really a bad thing? They are known for their sandwiches,
But again misconception. Philly's known for lots of great lot
of history in Philadelphia. It's not just cheese steaks and
great sports teams right, rocky about ball and there's lots

(48:52):
of things that Philly's known for. But it's like I said,
I'm here in Jersey and people always say stupid things
like do you look bun Jovi.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
It's like, I mean, yeah, kind of yo. Does Jersey
really smell? Like, I'll tell you what, that's not really
the biggest misconception of New Jersey because I live in
La now, but I'm an East Coast guy. I grew
up in New York. I'm not a Jersey guy. But
the big misconception is like Jersey's smelly and gross. It's
one tiny there is one tiny part of the turnpike
where you see Tony Soprano drive by. That's where it smells.

(49:22):
But Jersey as a state doesn't smell. Does everybody see
joy Zy that?

Speaker 4 (49:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:26):
They do what they do?

Speaker 2 (49:27):
They don't, he says, Joysy my whole life. Listen to
your family misconception. But you know, insults that bother you, Rich,
I'm glad you brought that.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Up, or even like even like joking, insults that get
in your head and bother you, Like I'll tell you what. Basically,
our buddy Drew in Nashville, I'll call him out on
national radio. He listens, So he's listening right now, I bet,
and he's gonna be like, why would you say it? Because
it bothers him? Oh no, his why His beautiful wife
Jennifer does really well professionally. So as a joke with

(49:58):
our group of buddies, we make it the joke that
like he has to ask his wife permission for things
because she's the bread winner and like makes decisions like Yo,
can you go on the bros Trip? Did you ask
your wife? And just teasing teasing him that like his
wife makes all the decisions and he's like, you know,
He's like, uh, secondary it bothers him so much.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
So he laughs it off, but really it does kind
of get to him here.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah, he hit me up and he's like, yo, when
you do that, I gotta be honest. You strike a nerve.
I don't know why. It's the button nice. Well, I'll
tell you what he used to bother me. When you
and Spot were relentlessly talking about you say, I look
like Eli Manning and I do not look like Eli Manning?
But why would that bother you? That? Because he's a
goofy goober and you, like, I feel like we're on
the radio and you paint this picture that I look
like Eli Manning. I mean you have Manning qualities a

(50:44):
little bit, a little bit. There are some corny like
you're saying all white guys look alike. Yes, that's exactly
what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Yes, I think Rich looks more like an NFL punter.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Okay, I'll take that. I'll take you can say that
I don't look like a Manning all right. Rich used
to like Zach Morris and now he looks more like
Max from The Max than But you know, yeah, if
you know, looks like George Lopez.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Now, hey, but bullets don't hurt when they miss, So
that doesn't bother me because I know it's not true.
You see what I'm saying. So there's two though that
have gotten to me recently. I'm here in Jersey. I'm sorry,
Joysy visit family, right, and we mentioned this on our Patreon.
But little kids, if you want to know the truth,

(51:29):
talk to some little kids, because they say the darnedest things.
They're not trying to sugarcoat, they have no filter. They'll
tell you what's up. I'm talking to my little niece
and my nephew. My little niece goes like this. She's like,
Uncle Steve, are you fat. I'm like no, She's like,
I think you're fat, and I'm like, so, dude, Yeah,
I'm in the bathroom looking at myself later on, and

(51:51):
all I hear is her little.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Voice, Uncle Steve, are you fat? And I'm like it
gets to you.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
And then my little nephew goes to me, Uncle Steve,
you got a bald spot. And I'm like, night, Oh,
that's just where my hair grows on the top the
uh what's it called the.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Whirl thing? I got up there where the hair grows. Nah,
Uncle Steve, that's a bald spot.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
So and then in the back of my mind, I'm
like that little turt he got in my he's in
my walls now and he got me thinking about it.
So I laugh it off. But his things a little
because they're they're hitting your insecurities, is what it is?
What are those little insults or things that people say
that for some reason hurts more than it should.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
We'll take your feedback. We're gonna get a winner from
Mike's words wisdom right now. But I want to throw
one more out there. My buddy Chris has a story
where it bothered him so much. One of our mutual
old school college buds commented, he bought he bought a
beautiful house with his wife, and this guy from high
school comments, yeah, it's a pretty nice starter home. Oh man,

(52:51):
he's got to sneak this starter home. It's my forever home.
And he's like, I spent all my money in this
house and I got some Jay oh on Facebook saying
nice starter home. Yeah, and it's like forever. He's like,
I can't can't shake that stupid car. He's like, I
hate that guy.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
It's a jerky comment, dude, it really is. That's a
that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
So your thoughts. But uh, you want to get a
winter Danny G. You want to start with Cody in Virginia.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
Yeah, le's start with Cody.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Yo, Cody, you want to repeat Mike's words wisdom, get
a little the Thanksgiving prize? Buddy boy?

Speaker 7 (53:22):
Hey, how you guys doing it? I think I got
it right.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Let's let's hear bro Let's let's set the tone.

Speaker 3 (53:26):

Speaker 7 (53:32):

Speaker 6 (53:37):

coming up, we're gonna go over midweek major with Spot
and I do want to take some phone calls if
you want any George Pickin sneak disses that somehow got

(54:42):
under your skin. Well we'll chop it up with you, guys.
Chop it up on a Wednesday before Thanksgiving and covino
real quick, before you get into all the fun we
have planned. I just read a stat that the average
family starts their Thanksgiving dinner at three pm? Why do
we do that? Do you guys? Are you guys a
three pm dinner family? Dude? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (55:03):
I'm half Mexicans, so my family's on delay? Get it
on delay? On delay we are when three o'clock not
even close. My mom's still stressing about getting dinner done.

Speaker 8 (55:12):
I like apps. You're eating apps at that point. Yeah,
you fund like two courses by three pm.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
But I know you're you and your beautiful wife are
coming over my place tomorrow. We're doing a little later
where we more of a five PM. Yeah, maybe that right,
But like, I never understood why Thanksgiving the one day
year you start early. Yeah, I don't get like three,
like you really break it out there? Yeah, Nah, you
start early so you can have sandwiches by the time
you leave.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Yeah, you start at halftime of the first NFL game.

Speaker 8 (55:39):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
I could have an act. I get what Rich was
going at though. If you're if every day, for the
most part, you're eating dinner around six seven, right, sixcess,
what'd you think a compromise for the holiday where you
eat a lot would be five? Why three? Oh, he's
like way or like to me, like, you know, five
o'clock might be a nice dinner time for Christmas or Easter.

(56:01):
You know, people want to stick around, have coffee and dessert,
and you know some older people want to go home.
Five o'clock makes sense. But when people say the average
family starts Thanksgiving dinner at.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Three, I think that's good. I'd like to add, you're starving, rich,
how many of us got are hands slapped and get
out of the kitchen, get away, don't eat anything, don't
spoil your appetite. So you're starving by three.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
P I got my handsup last night for real, eating
mom's meatballs.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
So all right, you're we'll do midweek major your thoughts
on any of this, we'll get to and if you
guys have any advice or tips at Rich Davis. Because
my wife, I was gonna say, maybe I'm not doing anything.
She's the genius behind this. She's putting our turkey on
the green egg. We're gonna smoke our turkey for Thanksgiving,
and I just want to make sure it doesn't go wrong.
So if you have any tips, any thoughts on smoking

(56:44):
a turkey, We're gonna give it a shot, so at
Rich Davis and we got more coven on Ritch next
right here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, let's do this.
Our buddy spot is on standby for midweek major hit.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
Covino and Rich gets you over the middle.

Speaker 5 (57:04):
Of the week when mid Week major Oh, I love
that we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics
at the fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 7 (57:14):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
We definitely here.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
See it our scoring midweek major Oh yeah, can I
get a gobble gobble before we hand things over to
the number one and only host of this segment. We
usually roll the big Red Love Dice in the main studio,
but since Coveno's getting hand served food every minute by

(57:38):
his mama there in New Jersey, Rich, we will look
what I have in my hand. First of all, is
that U ben mal was butt penny? It sure is
discontinued butt penny. Don't worry, I used hand sanitizing a
good All right, Rich, you're at home in the home studios.
You call head your tails tails, It is tails.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
Rich gets first take, and now Lady and gentlemen, the
most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Spotty boy, He's fun, guys, let's go. Let's jump right in.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yes, I don't want to interrupt you, but too late,
he said, Rich gets first take. And I just want
to make sure if Drake May has ever heard of it.
I don't think he's ever heard of May doesn't watch it.
No one watches that show either. I'll be honest, I
didn't even know Cam Newton was on that show. Is
that your first Midweek or major? Drake May doesn't know
who Newton is?

Speaker 1 (58:27):
I think it's major. To be honest, I do you
not know?

Speaker 2 (58:29):
I mean you're a quarterback in the NFL. You don't
know that Cam Newton's on first take? I'm surprised by that,
Like Stephen A. Kim, but like, why would you expect
him to know?

Speaker 1 (58:39):
All right, Well, anyway, spotty segment ahead, I mean.

Speaker 8 (58:41):
Feel free to discuss. That's okay, all right, We'll start
with the Kelsey's. Kylie Kelsey is weighing in on quote
America's team, the America Team debate and playing family favorites
when it comes to her decision, So on our recent
Not Gonna Lie podcast, she went off on how she's
sick of the notion that the Cowboys are quote America's team.
She said, they can quote kiss my ass, and you

(59:04):
guessed it. Get e f she what what what? She
implored her fans to a cheer on Uncle Traves the
Chiefs prepared to take on the Cowboys tomorrow during the
Thanksgiving Day game.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
I imagine.

Speaker 8 (59:17):
Of course, she's also a little salty since her Hobbi's
former team, the Eagles, lost to the Cowboys twenty four
to twenty one. Recently, the Eagles take on the Bears
on Friday. So obviously a lot going on in the
Kelsey household this weekend. Midwek or major.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
I think it's still Mid. That's I like Kelsey, I
like Kelsey's wife. I mean, but it's not a surprise.
I mean, like her husband was a Super Bowl champion
with the Eagles. Like, we're talking about a family that
hates the Cowboys, and now Uncle Trav's playing against them.
What do you think all of a sudden she's gonna
like the Cowboys? Please cow No one likes the Cowboys

(59:51):
except Dallas fans. So yeah, Mid, it's mid But that's med.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
They are America's team, and stop crying about it and
stop being mad about it. And I don't think the
Eagles or the Chiefs are next in line, to be honest,
it might be the Patriots with their amazing comeback this season.
Not only are they America's team, but they got America's sweetheart,
America's sweethearts.

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
So it just sounds like sour grapes to me. But
at mid story, all right.

Speaker 8 (01:00:19):
In the auction world, if you're memorabilia fan, pay attention
a couple items coming up for sale. So a huge
piece of basketball and specifically Lakers memorabilia about to hit
the auction block. So a game ball from the two
thousand NBA Finals will be part of Southeby's Winter Sports Classic,
which will feature over thirty million dollars in sports memorabilia.

(01:00:40):
The ball specifically from Game six showdown against the Pacers,
in which LA Lakers won one sixteen.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
To one eleven.

Speaker 8 (01:00:45):
Ball signed the roster for that team, of course, you know,
includes Kobe and Shack. In addition to the ball, some
other items a full line of the Chicago Bulls Championship rings,
Katie game worn jersey, from the Warriors and Otani's game,
warn Jersey from the twenty twenty four Jackie Robinson Day.
Bidding began this week and we'll go through December eleventh,

(01:01:08):
midweek or major.

Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
That mid that's so mad.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
No, there's auctions all the time. But I will say
this though, if you are a Lakers fan, Kobe's first
NBA title with Shack, that two thousand team, that's a
piece of memorability that a true Lakers fan have. You
got ducats that that's a pretty cool piece. So I
think that's cool. But I'll be honest, this is so
much memorabili and all these rich people have something. But yeah,

(01:01:32):
that's cool. I agree with rich. It's mid, but it
borders on major because of that Kobe Shack ball two thousand.
And you know what's interesting When you say two thousand,
it feels relatively recent to me. But guys, we're approaching
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
And for that reason alone, that's why I'm saying it's
closer to major. That's something you want to get your
hands on if you're a major collector. Kobe Shack six
year old ball, Now, I don't know, that's pretty dope,
but it's mid.

Speaker 8 (01:02:03):
Yeah, as the meme goes, if you were forty in
the year two thousand, you're now turning sixty five.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
That's insane, dude, That's what I'm saying. So we think
of that as like somewhat recent history.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
But it's not. Damn all right.

Speaker 8 (01:02:16):
We all, as we talk on the show a lot
about getting older, we talk about the importance of keeping
moving as you get older. Well, former College Game Day
host Lee Corso has confirmed our sentiment. During a recent interview,
ninety year old Corso, who retired in August as of
this season, was asked about life after College Game Day.
His response quote lousy. I hate it. He said he

(01:02:39):
can't watch College Game Day anymore. He said he can't
get used to it. He's not working anymore. He used
to fly all over the place. It sucks. Of course,
he had been with the show since its inception in
nineteen eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
Midweek or major, it's major, it's major. And I'm not
saying I hope Lee Corso lives one hundred years, but
I don't know when old people retire. I feel like
that's no. It's like when you're when her grandma falls
in Florida, and breaks her hip. It's like, now it's
just a countdown.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
I wish him a great long life. He's already lived
a great long life. But you're retiring when you're an
active person, that's that's rough. So I wish lead the best.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
I think it's major because it's a real life, relatable story.
The course, so finally got off the merry go round
and now he's bored and he's sitting there with the
reality of he's old and now what right? And I've
seen my mom go through that, We've seen people in
our lives go through that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
It just takes time and it's an adjustment. And he's
not just an average old guy. He's an average he's
an old guy. I did a lot, Yeah, yeah, a lot,
a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
So God bless him because that's a major, major adjustment
for this dude.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Man maybe put on a mascot costumes at home or
something and to my family or something.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
The silver lining though, is that you know, when my
mom first retired, dude, she was bored out of her
mind and hated it. And now you ask her now
she's loving every second of it. So it just takes time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Yeah, I mean, I always thought the greatest example of
doing something you love but not at the same scale.
It's like a letterman. I know that's an entertainment example,
but you know he he was done with the grind
of a daily late night show and now he does
like a seasonal Netflix thing. So what's that advice? Rich?
My advice to Lee Corso's maybe become a crossing guard
or something in the state business. So honestly, I'm saying that,
you know, be a crossing guard. Uh, you know baumart

(01:04:19):
or something. There's a greeter, Yeah, I don't know something.
Good guys. Good, that's it. Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:04:25):
Oh, I mean I got I got a few more
if you want to squeeze them in. I just feel
like we're tired.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
On Quickie all right, quickie entertainment. Give me a good
w there's really not much.

Speaker 8 (01:04:33):
Give me some juicy brou Do you want to talk
about Aiden Hutchinson's mom and an ai image of Aiden
Hutchinson or how much money the Lakers or the Bus
family got from.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
The sale of the Lakers?

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Now, can you give me the Aiden Hutchinson's all right?

Speaker 8 (01:04:45):
So his mo lines starting Hutcheon Hutchinson's mom, Melissa defending.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Her son from the Perils of AI.

Speaker 8 (01:04:51):
So on our Instagram this week posted a clearly AI
image of her son that's been circulating around in a
fake wedding image with some random girl with a quote
underneath that was like how this is the love of
his life and he's so excited and whatever she put underneath,
she was like love seeing who's Aidan is married to
this week with a bunch of laughing emojis.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
She's very active on social media.

Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Aiden is not.

Speaker 8 (01:05:16):
He's currently actually dating Olivia Rose. They've been dating since
twenty twenty two. But yeah, just squashing some of those
AI rumors, I'm telling you they're more and more believable.
So I guarantee you this is going to be a
bigger and bigger story as time goes on.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Midweek or major, dude, it's major because it's she's a
mom that understands AI. My mom thinks everything she sees
is real. My mom thinks my head's afloat. In the
Thanksgiving Day parade, Cavino spot made a photoshop once and
me wearing like leather straps, and my mom's like, Ritchie,
you're into that, Like, my mom doesn't get AI. So
the fact that his mom's young and gets AI good
for her. It is major, but I just don't know

(01:05:51):
how I would feel if my mom was active on
social media that way. Big Mom settled down, all right.
So anyway, great stuff, Spotty boyshot, Thanks Thanksgiving, Gobble, Gobble,
thanks Bob. Let's go to I Loo for an update.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Now Dylan Cees seven years to ten. If you're a
baseball fan, your first thought has to be he's serious.
What you know what? It shows that the pitching market
is so everyone's so desperate for affront, like there front
of the rotation to be strong. What are they doing
to keep Boba Schett is what I'm wondering. I mean,

(01:09:04):
Dylan Ces since he went to the Padres two years ago,
has been pedestrian at times. Last year he was eight
and twelve last year with a four or five ERA.
The year before that fourteen and eleven, a little over
five hundred. Like, if Dylan Cees is like giving you
eras in the threes and fours and under five hundred

(01:09:26):
for seasons growing up, wasn't that average? That's like to me,
that's seven years, two ten. Then know what that makes
me wonder? What is a guy like Paul Skiing, Skiens
or schoobl gonna renegotiate when their time is there? Like
all the what are they saying that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
Like Cooper Flag and the wimp Ben Yamas of the
world are gonna be like the first billionaire athletes? We're
getting closer and closer to that if average, middle of
the pack pitchers like this are making that kind of money.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Danny g you're an nl Wes guy. You've seen cease
quite a bit. I mean he was a white Sox,
but then the last couple of years of Padre he
hasn't done anything where you're like, oh man, Dylan Cees.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
Just above average. And then Boba Schett to your point, Covino.
Rumor has it that the Dodgers might be interested in
talking to Shoot.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Would be no, right, But you know what, Danny, a
guy like Dylan Cees was the guy that was like, oh,
he's good on a bad team. So they you know,
he escaped the White Sox and he was like, you know,
their star pitcher on a bunk team is always low. Yes, well,
a couple of seasons he was a cy young candidate,
but the last couple of years he's done nothing that

(01:10:30):
would make me think two hundred and ten over seven.
So that just shows the pitching market. He set the
tone much like Kyler Murray and certain guys set the
quarterback market and Deshaun Watson. If Dylan Cees to getting
seven to ten, I so desperately wonder what a guy
like schoobl or Skeens is gonna get like next year.
Like it's gonna be absert insane. So all right with

(01:10:50):
that said, have a great night. We'll see you guys
back here for DP in the morning or even there
she baby see you in the promise. I have a
good one. Happy Thanksgiving everybody over promised. Let's go
