(00:22):
I hope you had a Patriots sort tonight, not a
New York Football Giant sort tonight, not a young Hoku
making excuses or or we'll discuss that too. But man,
the Giants are ass cheeks, we know that. But they're
exciting and they got promise.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We get it.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
But we knew what was going to happen. We called
it yesterday. It was a boring game. But the Patriots
are dominant MVP chants for Drake May. They're eleven and
two now, ten games in a row, the longest streak
this year in the NFL. You know what it is
close to them. Man, you look at some of those
games and you you know, in the gambling world of
people say, oh, trap game, right, But when you saw

(01:03):
New England by seven, I feel like that was a
gimme and we all ignored it right Well, at the
end of the show yesterday, Danny was like, Patriots by seven, Rich,
what's your pick? And I'm like, I don't know. The
Patriots probably rock them, but I didn't bet on it.
I think a lot of people look at a Thursday
night or a Monday night and sometimes screwy things happen.
And again a ten and two team versus two and

(01:23):
ten team in New England, like, why do we all
not jump on Patriots minus seven.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, once it became seventeen to seven, some of us
hopeful fans out there were like, Okay, maybe they'll make
a game out of it. No, yeah, no, well, hey,
I think the two storylines though for the Giants are
Jackson Dart still being kind of reckless getting rocked alongside
the sideline there, and of course they're kicking.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's not soccer, man, it's football.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
He said. Yeah, I'm gonna keep kidding. Concussions is basically
what he said.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Listen, Jackson Dart, let's start with him. And by the way,
if you watching on our YouTube chat, people already chiming in,
is it weird that I'm rocking a backwards hat? I
know Colin Cowhart doesn't approve Fred Durst approve. So you're
good okay, and Ken Griffy Junior said, yeah, way to go, buddy.
Even I was Sam's like, what, I'm more mad that
you were in a weak ass Ben Savage T shirt.
It's a Fred Savage shirt. And yeah it's not Randy.

(02:18):
That is lame.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
So anyway, it's too high up on your dome. I think,
rich you gotta like if you do the backwards cap, yeah,
you look like Steve Buscemi. Or he's like, how do
you do, fellow kids? What is that from thirty rock?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Look like an old guy.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
We're holding a.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Skateboard, skateboard backpacking. How do you do, fellow children?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, Riches came in from the gym. That's one.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, I went to the sauna and I you know,
I like the chill in the sauna, but then my
hair gets messed up. But anyway, who cares. Jackson Dart,
you said a dandy g along the sideline guy gets rocked.
Legal hit. He's tiptoeing. Oh it was a great hit,
but it did in real time it looked like an
illegal hit. It looked like a bad hit. It looked
like a late hit. But no good hit, good call.

(03:01):
And he spoke about it. Yeah, take a listen.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
I understand the question that like this is like this
is football, Like I'm gonna get hit if I'm in
the pocket or outside the pocket, Like it's don't I
feel like I've played this way my whole entire life.
It shouldn't be like any shock or anybody if you've
followed along with my career and I'm we're not playing
like we're not playing soccer out here, like you're gonna

(03:27):
get hit.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Things happen.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, it's part of the game. Well, here's the biggest difference.
He's not playing in college anymore. He's not playing in
the pee wee leagues. You know, you're playing with monsters
in the NFL peeleague and yeah, legal hitting all but
you keep playing like that, you're gonna get hurt eventually.
And you're too important as a quarterback in the NFL
to be doing that sort of thing. And I get it,

(03:49):
you could be tough. There's a balance there, right, Josh
Allen's sort of figuring out that balance. We've seen mobile
quarterbacks be told hey, you're not as mobile as you
once were. We're not going to allow that. It's dangerous.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You don't want to.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
He doesn't want to spend every other game in the
blue tent. It's but you got to respect it. Though
he's a badass, he's a tough guy, he's a football player,
and he's leading by example. Glad you said that, because
the questions to start the show simple Jackson Dart badass
or dummy or setting the precedent right, Like as a dad,

(04:23):
as a leader, a lot of times you say to people, hey,
I'm not asking you to do something I wouldn't do myself.
So as a leader of a team, you know, this
is what he expects from his his players, Like, hey, man,
if I'm willing to give up my body and sacrifice
and play my heart out like a Baker Mayfield, those
are ways to send messages, you know, like I'm willing
to do this, I expect that from everybody, agreed. As

(04:45):
a guy that's setting the tone and establishing a reputation
in the NFL. I think it's okay now he's young now,
but eventually it will catch up to it. I don't
think it's the age thing. I think it's sometimes you
just you minimize the risk. Right, that's an obvious thing, right,
I mean if Jackson Dart is scrambling.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
We don't.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't want this guy to stop playing with some
fire and passion and running around. And I don't. I
don't mind when he's mildly reckless, when you're tiptoeing along
the sideline, getting that one extra yard isn't worth getting clobbered.
It's little things like that. It's it's like, thank you,
this is.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Not the Super Bowl where John Elway needed to helicopter
into the end zone.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Dude, perfect example. Like you're not asking. You're not asking Josh,
you're not asking Jackson Dart too. Hey man, listen, We're
gonna keep you in the pocket right with no none
of this, none of this reckless running around. It's part
of his game. It's what makes him exciting. It makes
the fans love him. He's a passionate dude. I love him.
He's got balls, and you're not your games right. It
is football. But you know, I love him and Scataboo

(05:49):
and they're both healthy headbutting each other and acting like
you know, silly frat dudes. But again, it's like pick
the times you're gonna throw your body out there. If
it's if it's a scramble and you already got the
first down and you're tip toeing. Why why are you
leaving yourself vulnerable?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Man?

Speaker 1 (06:07):
So Jackson Dart badass, fool or both? I mean both
could be an answer here. I'm going with badass now
because again he's setting the tone and he's a young
player in the league. I know you already said that
doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Rich.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
I think I feel what you're saying, because you could
get hurt. You're not, I mean to getting hurt. I
think he's a fool until he gets that first big contract. Now,
if he had that, you know, just even if you're average, Now,
what is your first contract, Danny, forty to fifty million
dollars a year? It seems like if you are, if
you if a team banks on you, you're getting forty to
fifty It seems like the standard now.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
So, yeah, he hasn't signed is one hundred and eight
million dollars signing bonus.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, So when Jackson Darted a couple of years from now,
the talk is, oh, the Giant's gonna give him forty
to fifty to sixty million, depending on where things go,
then I'd say, did play your game. But couple hits
like that he's never gonna make it to contract too.
So again they lost thirty three point fifteen to the
what seems to be unstoppable Patriots. Right now, Jackson Dart

(07:10):
one hundred and thirty nine yards, one tuddy, no turnovers,
and yeah, putting his body on the line as a viewer,
as a fan and as a casual fan on a
Monday night while we wrap up Week thirteen.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I like seeing it again fan perspective. I mean, mister
mccheley hit us up.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
What up?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Mister mcchieley said, guys, look at Lamar Jackson. Every injury
he has, he comes back a little less the player.
He was less explosive this year, way noticeable too. And
I get it, you know, but how many years he
been in the league now? But Wes is saying, dude
is getting paid millions. I don't know. Can you look
up Jackson Dart's current contract, because he's not getting paid

(07:53):
like millions like the Lamars and Joe Burrows and Mahomes
of the world. So he said he getting paid million.
But you gotta love that attitude goes even if it's
foolish the things he says, like, no, man, this isn't soccer,
this is football, So what I do like, that's the
kind of attitude you want, though, so I would never
want to deter him from that fire, from speaking and

(08:14):
leading that way.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
His rookie deals a fully guaranteed four year contract worth
seventeen million dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's a small fortune.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, he got a signing bonus of almost nine million.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
And by the way, Lamar Jackson is eight years in
the league right now, and this is really the first
time we've seen him let up. I mean, what quarterback
is the same from year one to year eight. Anyway, Yes,
he looks like he's less explosive. No doubt he could
be having an off year. We don't know that. Wes
in Vegas. To finish what he said, he goes these guys,

(08:47):
even at that level, are getting paid millions. Danny g
proved it. He's got seventeen right. The new trend is
some of these guys make a ton of money, might
step away early. What if Jackson darts okay with dip
it out early? If he plays his game, I'm surprised
we're not getting more because Rich isn't the only one
saying foolish right, Like, hey man, take it ease, you

(09:09):
got nothing to prove. It's a random night. You guys
are two to ten. But isn't it a little refreshing
too that people still want to play at that level.
I'm not saying we don't see it, but when you
see load management in the NBA, and when you see
some people, you know, what's the proper word blank footing around?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
In the NFL? Sometimes I want to know what the.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Proper way you can't say the other word blank footing
around sometimes wissy footing playing patty Cake. You know, it
is nice to see and be reminded that this is
the NFL and that he's here to win, regardless of
the record and regardless of the investment, how much money
he's making. You could say, man, that's that's refreshing. I

(09:55):
like that attitude. But the sentiment is, hey man, take
it easy, Hey dun buyer. Isn't it to think that
On one hand, there's people that are curious as to
why Joe Burrow's even playing right, yes, and then there's
other people that are like, get Jackson dark, go for it.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
I think that's a good example, and maybe not necessarily
with the Bengals, because we did see how Joe Flacco performed.
But my question to Jackson Dart would be, what would
Wandale Robinson want you to do? What would a healthy
Molik Neighbors want you to do? Because you are responsible
for everybody, and if your wide receiver doesn't get paid

(10:30):
because his quarterback's been knocked out because you won't get down,
you're likely not winning games and it could affect how
you and your business goes because now you've got to
play with the second or third string quarterback. I think
on the surface, it's great, what a gamer for a
two to ten team, but when you're the quarterback of
the team, you have a lot more to think about
than just am I going to get this extra yard?

Speaker 1 (10:52):
And especially with what you saw for a minute with
him in Scataboo and Molik Neighbors, all these guys banged up,
there is a cent that next year the Giants retooling
some draft picks the Giants. Would you agree that most
think they're not as far away as they feel? Rephrase it,
so you think they're closer than that. They're like that
meaning they're they're banged up a couple of draft picks wide. Yes,

(11:20):
I don't think they're that far off from being like,
well maybe they're a wildcard team. There were, they were
a player analysts. I thought this year the Giants might
make them.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah. I think that's fair.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
So you're right, there's no point in getting hurt. Now
where next year is like off the table? You want
to be, you want Molik neighbors, Jackson Dart camp scout
a boot with the addition of some maybe free agents
and good draft picks ready to roll for twenty twenty six.
Don't jeopardize anything, but he has a baller.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Huh. Trying to think that Balboa quote where he tells
Adrian to.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Oh, telling you to make a man. Yeah, it's like
you're telling him not to be who he is. I
know that's good to stop being a woman. So don't
has me to stop stop telling him to stop being
a football player. Absolutely no, you know, like it's kind
of who he is. That's what you sign up for
when you sign a Jackson Dart. Maybe maturity, maybe a
good pop will change those things, but that's how he

(12:15):
plays the game. That's who he is. So it's kind
of hard to change that once you've been doing it
your whole life. That's the truth. So I feel all
those things. But we posed a question to you. You
heard our side Jackson Dart, you saw it last night,
meaningless game, badass for taking that hit, trying to get
that extra yard. Is he a badass leading by example?

(12:37):
Or is he just a fool what a fool believes?
Is he a downass full or both? Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox At this stage of his life
and career, I kind of appreciate it. He's trying to
make a statement, trying to make a name for himself,
trying to establish who he is in this league. As
he grows and he could depend on other people, I think,
you know, hopefully he's smart enough to back off on

(12:59):
that sort of thing thing and you know, I'd like
to see him mature and grow.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
But right now I like it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Who am I? Homer? Camacho?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Hit us up?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
What's up? Homer? On the insho YouTube threat, he said, guys,
Troy Aikman, did you hear he compared Jackson Dark to
Jim McMahon. He's not going to last at this rate.
At this rate, yeah, but everybody evolves. Hey, Rich you
were kind of reckless in your career in the beginning.
The things you would say in interviews, the way we
would talk to people on our show, the antics we

(13:29):
pulled on the air, yeah, because we were trying to
establish ourselves as a pushing the envelope, cutting edge. But
those things could eventually have gotten us in trouble, right,
So once you establish yourself as credible broadcasters, you just
do that and become a professional, and you back off
the silly stuff a little bit and you show what
you really got. I think early in his career, this

(13:51):
is what you get because that's who he is.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
He'll change. Think. Also, you have to show the other
defenses around the league that you're not going to be
a sitting duck. If they know your quarterback, it's going
to get down and slide. Yeah, because you guys, just
the eye test at the start of the season when
you called them him in Scataboo, the new dynamic duo.
What was the caveat you guys gave. What's going to happen?

(14:13):
Both of them were going to get hurt if they
continue to play with that style. So if you guys
could see it from your living rooms, you're telling me
defensive coordinators and defenses don't lick their chops when they
go against them. They do.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
But here here's a reality check too. And we know this,
but when you hear it sounds different. He's twenty two
years old, twenty two. You guys, watch how invincible you
feel at twenty two years old, especially especially a dude
in the NFL. You guys want to expect him to
play any other way? You guys watching new Kevin Hart
special on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I started it.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
He talks about how he's forty five now, yeah, and
he he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He talks about
how he'll play like pick up basketball. Yeah, he called
out Michael Jordan pretty hard. That was wild, did you
he like? Was called that style? He talked about his son,
called Michael Jordan's son's losers and everything. So in the
special Kevin Hart, it says he's in his forties now,

(15:02):
he plays pick up basketball. You roll your ankle, you
might have a hurt ankle forever. He's like, you know,
that's forever an ailment. You're you got a boot on
for and he's, you know, limping around pretending he has
a boot on. I think this is how legends are made.
He said, when you're twenty something, you'll see something, Dude,
at the gym roll his ankle's like the dude's ankle

(15:22):
hits the side of the gym floor, jumps up and
he's like, all right, I'm good. When you're twenty something,
it's like when your kids fall knock on wood, Like
your kids get up and they're like, I'm fine. How
many kids are You're they're pliable. The recovery, he's so different. Uh,
it looks dangerous, but it's a dangerous sport. And he
said it. He said it best, So badass, fool both

(15:44):
your thoughts eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven ninety nine, O Fox at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
There's also the face paint angle that you guys have
not addressed. So when you are painting your face, whether
it be yes of what, what ever mark he's got
under his eye, I think you should totally run out
of bounds and wipe that stupid black mark whatever he's
got under his face off. But you can't be running

(16:11):
out of bounds if you're painting your face like that.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
So you're saying he should wipe that off and put
ultimate warrior face. No different.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Joji McCarthy does, and it's it's even worse with him.
But when you go to the specific eye blacks, you know,
swipe on your cheek swipe or the yeah, you can't
be going out of you can't be running out of bounds.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I think we also need to give prop to uh,
is it Christian Ellis right? The linebacker from the Patriots?
That was a sweet hit? Yeah, sweet hit. But to
back up, he wasn't only hit what dB said. You
can't be paint in your face and not play a
little wild. It's like, uh, if you ever play like
Rex softball, if you have the guy that shows up

(16:56):
and you're wearing like an elbow guarden batting gloves softball,
you better hit four hundred foot rockets. You can't be
average and show up wearing like full uniform. Like yeah,
that's a funny point. Are you ever golf with someone
I'm guessing that has all the gear everything They suck.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
All the time, all the time, all of the stuff
from all the courses that they've played, top notch everything,
best golf ball, best golf shoes that the hat matches
the belts not. I don't go unmatched, Like it's I
try to match, but I don't. It's not everything is primo.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
As they now say. But yes, and then the game
doesn't match it, match it.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I got two more examples, DV and that's a really
great one. You have to be a wild sort of
player if you're gonna paint your face right. How about
the guy that shows up to the bowling alley with
the wrist guard or the guy that shows up to
like a bar pool table with his own pool queue.
He's screwing it together like that, dude better be Minnesota
fats if he's if he's screwing up his old his

(17:57):
own pool cue.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Woman, the.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
You better have some game.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
If you're a closer with some sort of weird facial hair,
not weird, but like long hair, beard, sideburns, mutton chops, whatever,
you better throw one oh two like that is like
that is who you are?

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like, yes, it's got a match. Yeah, it matches his style, right.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Can't go in there throwing junk.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's dampire along with the closer. I don't think unless
you are a Marianna Rivera and then with Diez a
Trevor Hoffman, there's certain guys. I don't think everyone deserves
an entrance. Correct, Yes, not everyone gets Timmy trumpets.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
It's a good point.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
You know, if you're gonna be face painted like the
wild thing that you are, you gotta play that way.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
A lot of the younger players do the dripping face paint.
Look at JJ McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, he said that is.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, he didn't exactly play like a warrior this season,
he tried.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
It's like the meme goes little League team, four thousand
dollars worth of bets, two hits, sometimes sometimes the gear,
and you know you're spending all this money, like I
love the golf on. There's so many good ones. But
thank you guys for playing along. In fact, we got
a lot of feedback and phone calls on Jackson Dart Please, Michael, Roger, Caleb, everyone,

(19:15):
hang on the phone. We're gonna get your feedback next. Kavina,
let me ask you because you remember yesterday we talked
about putting someone on the spot and making them look foolish.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, what are you trying to ambush me?

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Missouri?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
What's the state abbreviation? Trying to expose me?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Ms?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
You idiots?

Speaker 5 (19:32):
M OPPI come, dude, you think I know you think
I don't know the Gary Goleman routine where he talks
about the masterminds involved in the abbreviation.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's very funny comedy bit. He does a.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Whole bit on it.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oleman, Yeah, your own maybe, I don't know, look it up.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
You don't believe me?

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Man, Well, what do we what do we learn so far?
That Jackson Dart is reckless and awesome and badass. But
I think the biggest conclusion we came to was that
if he continues to wear face paint, he has to
be reckless because you can't wear extra EyeBlack and face
paint and then like run out of bounce right, you

(20:12):
got it? It's misleading. Yeah, it's misrepresentation to some degree.
And I just think that he's a twenty two year
old badass and he's gonna play that way, and that's
leading by example. And these are highlights, like where are
heads at? We're talking like old guys, like we're investing
in these dudes, like these are the highlights that we're

(20:33):
gonna see from years to come. Should I have been
like y'ah, Derek Jeters shouldn't have dove into the stands? Man,
Come on, he put himself at risk. No, as a fan,
I want to see that, not to mention. This is
the NFL, It's football, so it props to him. As
time goes on, he'll switch his game up accordingly, at
least you hope so, badass, fool or both. Let's wrap

(20:54):
it with your phone calls. We have more things to
get to.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Man.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Prize is to give away things to talk about you,
Michael in virgin what's up?

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Mike Hey, Rich Convino, love you guys. You guys are
the best.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Bro.

Speaker 6 (21:07):
I like what Jackson Dart is doing. Like you said,
he's trying to make a name himself. He's trying to
put his team on the shoulders. But here's a prime example.
This athlete, this NFL quarterback was by far the most
freak of nature, strongest that I've ever seen in our generation.
That's Cam Newton and his kit cleer didn't last long
and even to this day that after that Denver Broncos

(21:29):
Super Bowl, Denver roughed his world up to where his
career is never the same. And so you know, Jackson Dart,
he said, be careful, but I mean even the strongest.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, dude, Listen, the NFL does a lot to protect
these guys, man. They protect them now. But still there
is a layer of danger if you're a quarterback that
runs Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, there's guys that you know.
I always say Mahomes is really good at tiptoeing out
of scenarios. Mahomes never leaves himself vulnerable. Other guys aren't

(22:03):
that careful Jackson.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Dart is mobile, but he's not as much of a
threat as Cam was. Like, I think it was totally
a part of Cam's game. So Cam not running or
not doing what he should would have hampered his game.
He had to be smart about it. He had to
get out of bounds, he had to slide and do
those things. But I like Dart's got that ability to move,
even more so than like someone like Aaron Rodgers, who

(22:26):
thought was more of a passer. But yeah, you just
got to if you're any quarterback, I think you just
got to get out of bounds.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
You know what looks pretty mobile. The other night that
I was reminded of you might have heard of him,
Marcus Mariota. He ran for a lock for almost fifty yards.
I think, sure, Mariota, he's got some legs. You forget that.
Dart ran for twenty yards four carries, twenty just another
TikTok of Mario Ta today, Mariota. People are relentless. That's
the only that's like one of the few benefits of

(22:52):
social media. People are pretty funny out there. Other than that,
it's terrible.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's also brutal.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, let's say how to Roger in Tacomo.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Hey, Roger, how you doing?

Speaker 7 (23:02):
So I'll give you this my story before.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
I give you my opinion.

Speaker 7 (23:06):
So when Russell Wilson was maybe Daniel Rimmans when he's
a rookie, they had just signed Matt Flint this big contract.
It wasn't expected. He wasn't expected to start, but he
was so good in training camps. They actually gave him
Game three of that preseason, which will used to be
the most important preseason game as a starter. He was
doing incredibly well. In the second half. He takes off

(23:29):
out of the pocket and he's gaining about fifteen yards
and here comes to defender straight at him. And if
anyone needed to prove his match onness, it was Russell
Wilson to try to win a job. What did you do?
He took a left hand turn and he got out
of bounds and as soon as he did that, I
go that guy's ready to start in the NFL because
he's smart. You have to be there for your team.

(23:52):
Jackson's already had two stints on the il. You don't
have to prove your manliness on the sideline. They need
you to play quarterback.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
You prove your meddliness by being out there and playing. Yeah,
I agreed. And by the way, mariqu finishing debate, because
you're right, you have to be smart.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
But as a football player.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
You also like to see that Mariota Mariota fifty five
yards rush five. Let's say, how to Caleb in Missouri
where you can now gamble Missouri?

Speaker 9 (24:18):
Hey guys, former last man standing, former second to last
man standing here?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh yeah yeah over time?

Speaker 9 (24:26):
Yeah uh so the last caller, I think hits it
on the head too, is like, what are you trying
to prove well on a two win team? You're trying
to prove what you can take a hit that you
know where the medical tint is. I don't think that
proves anything. I think Giants fans would much rather see
him prove he can read to cover four go through
his progressions. I mean, let's see, let's open the offense

(24:47):
in that way. Let's understand if we have the quarterback
of the future, let's not understand that. Oh you're really tough,
you can take a hit. I get it gets the
guys going, But on a team that's going to draft
in the top five, what are we motivating here?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, honestly, you ain't kidding. This team has promise if healthy,
but they have a lot of guys that are injury prone.
We'll see what happened. By the way, two great calls,
and I can't say they're wrong. Right, they're right, but
it's in their competitive nature. You're telling them to tone
it down. They're playing Monday night football. This dude's going

(25:22):
all out, So I understand. But you know, you guys
make great points, badass, fool or both.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Thank you again. You can chime in at Covino.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
And Rich now before we get to Mahomes Showtime trivia,
before we get to some more NFL and oh my god,
this they sound like a girl. Therefore I sound like
my wife. Oh how about this? Oh loaded, there are
five NFL games this week that are so unbelievably important.

(25:57):
I was looking at the schedule and I got like,
I got a little NFL my pants sound NFL Thanksgiving
Season holy bananas. Well we'll talk NFL. We're gonna play
your schedule, watching our schedule, watching I was Sam, who
so rich loves to look at the schedule, game schedule.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Watch it. Get tired of that.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I want to go over I'll never get tired of that.
And we pause on and take in the fact that
it's week fourteen.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, that's insane, dude.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
So five games will go over coming up and a
hypothetical that will really get you thinking it. I was
not high or drunk when I thought of this, but
it's still a good one. Hey. It's Rob Parker and
Kelvin Washington from The Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 10 (26:42):
And in addition to hearing us live weeknights from seven
to ten pm Eastern on Fox Sports Radio, we are
excited to announce brand new YouTube channel for the show.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
That's right. You can now watch The Odd Couple live
on YouTube every day.

Speaker 10 (26:57):
All you gotta do search Our Couple FSR on YouTube again. YouTube,
just searched Odd Couple FSR. Check us out on YouTube
and subscribe.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
And it's time for our tire IRAQ Play of the day.
Patriots ran away with the game and the Giants gave
us one of the strangest Special Teams plays you'll ever see.
Good pushing about my staff. The kick got dumb well
the right now, he never kicked it.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
He never kicked it. He knitt kicked around.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
You go to time out with six twenty two to go,
you're in the second that's courtesy of ninety eight five
kicked the ground.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Sports Hub.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
That was worse than like a Charlie Brown move man,
Patriots Radio Network, and that was our TI RACT play
of the day.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
And we should talk about that man, Young Ho.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I believe him. In fact, it's not Young Hoku. Unfortunately, no,
it is Young Waiku. I made, actually made the same
mistake I said Young Hoku once and I got laughed
at his Young Wayku. What I texted you guys that
I know, but I thought you were wrong in lying
or joking or something. No, no, very serious. Yeah, I
know it looks like that. I mean, I hear them
say that, But then again, I trust you.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
See him, Dan's nodding his head. The Sam's right. Yeah,
it's Young Waykou.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Young Way cool. How about that. I believe him. By
the way, we're gonna talk about it later. You think
it's a weak ass excuse. I believe him. Well, I'm
a little flip floppy on it because I saw two
different angles of the ball. He said that the ball
was slipping moving a little bit, so we held up.
And that's why. Do you know what helped why I
put the conversation on a holt. Let's start. I mean,

(28:37):
I wasn't trying to let me listen to the dude
right now kind of slipped out at the bottom, so
it was moving. You know, I wasn't able to kick
to the ball at the ball was moving when I
was driving.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
To him, so I just pulled up on him.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
And you pulled that your leg didn't get stucky here?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
No, No, I couldn't. As I was jobbing to the
ball was the bottom of the ball was slipping out,
So I just pulled up on it. Same.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I thought
he was way coop until yesterday. There you go, very good,
because that was weak. Dude was still way cooler. I mean,
I think I saw the side angle in slow motion
and it was just so minimal. But when you're a kicker,
the long snapper, the holder, this is a game of precision,

(29:17):
and I did see a little slippage.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
The ball was uprightfore. That wasn't a hold up, that
was a misfire. I saw two different angles. One angle
you're like, you know, it's not moving, what's he talking about?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Then you do see another one and they readjust it
last minute, But I don't know. It looked very much
like he missed his target, he timed it wrong, or
he just didn't his step was off, you know, because
he kicks the ground pretty hard. So your thoughts on
that is that you an excuse maker, by the way, Yeah,
and you are. The answer is yes, I was. I'll

(29:50):
answer for you. If we go bowling and Cavino stinks,
it's always the oil on the lanes isn't right. But
that's true with a look. You can't if the lanes
aren't only wait we go to if we go to
the gym and play pick up basketball or twenty one
or something. If Cano stinks, had the ball was not
inflated the right way? Caveno's an excuse guy with sports.

(30:11):
I mean, I never thought of myself that way. But
if you want to like put me out there on
national radio as that guy, and you want me to
be that guy, then I guess I will be. You're
the Hey Coup of the man, and Rich is just
a degree. He doesn't justify every wrong answer that he gets.
On last one's stand, I'm a man by my mistake.

(30:32):
Rich isn't the guy that justifies every single thing he
says wrong, which is just I mean, he is right
about the bowling thing. But let's talk about the worst excuses.
Let's say he's full of it. I don't know. In reality, though,
it's a tough call. I'm not sure what happened there.

(30:54):
I'm really not. I see two different angles of it
does move a little bit, but enough for that.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Worst excuses based on that though it looked painful, like
if you're pulling out and you're just jamming your foot
into the ground, that that's like why why that's like
extra damage? Like don't you feel you did that messing
around trying to kick a field goal that you hurt
your toe. It's possible. I feel like I've done that.
Waiting for our new shipment our Nerve football inventory to

(31:23):
come in, Danny G, can you randomly select some YouTube
subscribers and give them some prizes when we got the inventory?

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, when the shipment's in you so follow.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
More reason to follow on YouTube Covino and Rich FSR
and we have our bonus pond there over promised. We
talked to Jim Well pociaw Manny's son. We talked about
future fights coming up. By the way, Super pumped about
tia Fimo shakor Stevenson in January. I'm a fight fan.
I'm Cavino, that is Rich Let's get into it, man.
I got a hypothetical for you guys. But before I

(31:57):
do that, I got asked, do you think Adam thielen
Hell helps the Steelers down the stretch when there's both
six and six the Ravens and the Steelers like it's
a battle? Is I'm not feeling said he's going to
retire and then go back and retire with Viking. He
had a great run there in his prime. That is
that a name that excites you or tickles you even
a little bit or no, are you feeling it? I

(32:19):
don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I feel like.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Adam I had a good feeling. As a reference they
made on ESPN like ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I was gonna say five years.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
That seems like a long time ago, but hey, good
for him and wishing him the best. Here's why hypothetical.
I want everyone to listen because I feel like if
you don't listen, you can understand it.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
Well.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
I thought we were going to wrap up the young
waykup sort of situation where he made up a weak
ass excuse, because the only one that comes to mind
that's better than his before you're hypothetical is when Dennis
Rodman got quitt cheating it's the best one. And he said,
and I'm paraphrasing here, but when Dennis Rodman the Worm
was dating Carmen Electra, he got quite cheating on her.

(33:00):
Imagine hold on, just think of that for a minute.
Imagine being such the man, or maybe not the man,
the worm that you cheat on Carmen Electra when in
her problem. When I first met Kevino, I went to
Spencer Gifts just to see her poster. He was with her.
When I first met Kevino, he had a picture of
him and Carmen Electra on his desk. So imagine being

(33:21):
so full of yourself or I don't know, such the
man or such a playboy at whatever you want to
call it. She catches him as the legend goes cheating
on her walks in on it and she's like.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
What are these women doing here?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
And he says, again paraphrasing, they fell out of the ceiling.
They fell from the ceiling. That was his I believe use.
So the only thing worse than young Way too saying that,
you know, hey, he meant to do that is that.
And when pee wee Herman went flipping over his bike,
meant to do that, meant to do that. I can't

(33:55):
think of any other like weak ass excuses. I mean, man,
I'm honestly, have any any else come to mind before
we move on, because that was one of the highlights
last night. It was everywhere on social media because it all,
it all took us by surprise, like, hey man, this
dude lit it up in Atlanta. Well listen what was
going on? What happened there? Because we didn't see the

(34:17):
ball move. Upon further investigation, you do see it slip
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Do you remember when Geno Smith was with the Jets
and he missed team activities and he blamed it on
the time zone difference. Familiar though that does happen?

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Though it does, And think about how much these guys
travel and how confusing it could be sometimes you wake up,
you know, I wake up and.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I wonder where I am Sometimes like where am?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I imagine if you're like a rock star professional athlete,
could happen? I understand. Well, I'll give you one. That's
never an excuse, and I'm not trying to sound righteous.
But when we were all younger dudes, your buddy or
someone would do something dumb and it's like, oh, it's drunk,
I was drunk. Is never tell Jamie Fox that an excuse.
He blames down the alcohol. We always chuck it up

(35:03):
to hey, I was in my twenties. But yeah, that one,
it's up for debate. As they used to say in
NFL films, you make the call. I think the young
ho Ku just you know, talking talking truth or is
he just thinking? Quick on his feet say no, no,
I don't believe. I believe him after I see the
ball movement a little on one of the clips, one

(35:24):
of the clips. I didn't see it until recently because
I thought he was full of it. But you know,
for like a few seconds, Cove, I'm a big believer
in owning your mistakes. In fact, if you see me
adamantly defending myself or making any excuse you can guarantee
I genuinely feel that way, because I'll usually be like, yeah, guys,
I messed up. I don't know what you want to
tell you. So if I'm making excuses, usually because I

(35:45):
believe it, right. I mean, like I will say in
Rex Sports, you're playing pickleball, dan Byer, big golfer, I
play softball. If you're at the gym pick up basketball.
When grown men makes sports excuses, I just want to
be like, yeah, dude, we're all dealing that. Like some
guy misjudges a flyball and softball and he looks like
an ass, but you know it's some time to win.

(36:05):
But sometimes you do want to explain your side or
explain what happened, whatever the case may be. I mean,
like you showed up late for work. It may be
the lamest of excuses, but sometimes you just want to
I know there's no excuse and I'm late or whatever,
but I do want to explain what happened, right.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I know, Sam, Sam has another cheating one. There's lots
of excuses when it comes to cheating.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
In sports any Like, for instance, like what I was
saying in Rex Sports, some guy you know gets a
bad bounce, just take it, move on with the game.
The guy that's like, yeah, man, you know SA you
saw it bounce and then the second bounce, whoa ate
me up? Like yeah, man, stop. Excuses are lame. And
that's why I think as a pro hit a rock
hit a pebble man. Yeah, while what's what's your sam?

(36:49):
In the world of cheating and excuses, several athletes have
used tainted meat as an excuse for when they have
a positive doping to like I'm looking at Alberto.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
He said tainted meat, tainted meat, Alberto Contador. And then
also I think a boxer, I think I think it was.
And then the biker Floyd Landis, I think he had
a a he tested positive for, like a synthetic and
he blamed it on whiskey.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
No Danny g when we started doing Sunday Nights here
on Fox Sports Radio, wasn't there a deodorant, wasn't tattis
or yeah it was Junior, Yeah got something, Yeah, I
got some treatment done to his dreads.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
No, no, no, that's Tank Davis. Yeah, you're getting to
cot saying, right.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
A chemical and his deodorant or something like that, or
there was some weak ass story.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
So there's always these weak ass excuses. Yeah, let's thinking
of Sammy Sosa. Remember he got caught with a corked bat.
He said, Oh, it's because I was using my practice bat.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
That was a weak one I told everybody. Remembers that
for sure. But yeah, you're thinking Givanti Davis got that
hair stuff in his eye. I remember that. There was
another one with I Haadre. I have a story about
you me. I can't tell it here.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Give me permission hand Maybe uh, maybe it's for Kavino
and rich after hours. Oh you know what, I'll tell
it like a mild version. Sure, I don't know if
you gonna want me to. Let's you say, when Comino
is like a single guy sort of back in the day.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Maybe I probably wouldn't want you to tell to tell
the story though.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
If you have to question it, I see Sam clinching
his butt cheeks.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Maybe I should. I'm doing the I'm watching you, I'm
listening to you.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
If it's going to make me drag, I don't think
you should. I mean, unless that's your mo o. It's
a good story. Unless you're from Missouri, sanitize it, please,
I'd rather not. Let's just say, let's just say I
just don't have that.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
We move on.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Let's just say Covino. No, that is like the guy
on the pebble and the ball. Just move on.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
I know where he's going. So I'm like, God, you
want me to steer this conversation back to Tatist Junior.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, let's go back to Tatis junior.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
It was twenty twenty two. He tested positive for how
do you say this drug? C l O. That's t
e b O. L buyer is a doctor. The buyer
closed the ball. It's a band performance enhancing drug. He
initially claimed that he took a medication to treat ring worm,
and that that ring the ringworm medication. That was it.

(39:16):
That was it. I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
I think there was a deodorant story too, though.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Link to that. I'm serious, but you.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Get me your pen just for a second, are we playing?
I'm gonna write it down. I'd lash it real quick
to the people watching on YouTube. I'd rather not. But
if it's like if rich Rich just gets off on
trying to make me look bad. You notice this, right?
You do notice this?

Speaker 2 (39:38):
All right?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
So anyway, I have another one here. Oh, this is
according to a Bleacher Report article Vinny Testaverdi said he
threw thirty five picks as of rookie because he was
color blind. That's a lot of picks. Thirty five picks
color what So do you what about after that?

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Did he was? He fine?

Speaker 1 (39:55):
I have no idea. Do you believe young Wayku or not?
That's the question. Gin And you could hit us up
at Covino en Rich. Now you have a hypothetical. Right now,
we can move on. Now my hypothetical. Pay attention. If
I said you could win ten million dollars. This is

(40:19):
one of those TikTok Instagram hypotheticals, but I thought it
was worthy to bring here, like James Pun intended, it's
a basketball hypothetical.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Danny G. You got faith in Brenda, your wife regarding
what generally well, now that you mentioned it, no, you
know you got faith in your girlfriend Jordan depends what
we're talking about. Like Danny G said, Dan Bayer trusts
his wife. I know that it's a good woman. But
what if I told you, guys, ten million dollars for

(40:54):
your family tax free, ten million dollars your wife a
girlfriend gets fifty NBA three pointers to shoot. She has
to hit one of them. If she doesn't hit one,
you die? What? No, what made you think of this?

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Rich? Will you speak at my funeral?

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Fifty three pointers top of the key, corner wherever you want?
Your wife and girlfriend takes fifty three pointers. If she
gets one in your family gets ten million dollars. If
she goes oh for fifty, you die. I'm good, you
know what, because.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
My life is good, really good.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Okay, I'll take that chance.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
I've seen Brenda try to shoot a basketball before. Yeah,
you think she go oh for fifty, she'd go oh
for fifty. I'm not trusted my girlfriend, Jordan, no, missus
Bayer get one Dan or what yeh? She does top
of the key, she'll bank went in for sure? So
you within the first thirty would she call glass? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:56):
No, no way, You're not putting your life on the
line for that. What about risk card? Wait, this isn't real.
This isn't real. Forget I forget death, and it's not
some squid game type of thing. What if it was
honestly something like ten mil or like five years in
prison or like yeah, five years in prison, okay, wit
nasty night. I still wouldn't take that chance. Time's too

(42:20):
precious back five years and I don't trust. Yeah, I
don't trust.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Uh, my wife would miss so i'd be away for
five years. That's why, Yeah, I would trust even.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
That at over fifty by damn Hey, spotty boy our
video guy, spot your wife Kristens an in shape like
active woman. You think Kristen could hit one out of fifty?

Speaker 2 (42:40):
I think absolutely one. Yeah, I think I think I
could get one.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Would you sacrifice ten mil for five years in prison?

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Though? Yo? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Absolutely, it's it's it's a good hypothetical. That's why I
brought it up, because it like one out of fifty uncontested,
Like you said, top of the key. I saw some
guy put this to the test on TikTok and his
girlfriend who is probably unathletic the waits. Danny G describes
his wife Brenda. She did underhand dan dan byer between

(43:09):
her legs, like, uh, what would you call it?

Speaker 9 (43:11):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Who's the Randy Ranny style? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Who would do that back in the day? Barry, Yeah,
greak Barry Mad Doug's Russo's favorite. She did fifty like that,
and on I shot twenty eighth, she banked him. That's
what I'm saying, I just wonder, like I think you
pre you would get some practice in with the first couple,
you know, twenty thirty. But then if you have the
death on the line and you're getting to forty five

(43:35):
and you're like, honey, please, so many shoe coov is
your wife athletic or not? You know, there's so many
factors here into this hypothetic. Let me let me make
it more reasonable.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
For a gallic you.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Pressures on obviously one million dollars cash or one year
in prison. You Steve Cavino, get twenty to the top
of the key. I'll take that challenge. Yeah, definitely one
of control, because that's that's the thing. Don't you feel
more confident when you're in control. Absolutely would take that one.

(44:13):
Would you do that to any one? Mill one? You're
in prison, you get twenty shots?

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, I would do it.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Do you get twenty shots packed Staple Center, crowd and everything.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Oh, that's that's a different level of that. That's a
lot tougher. I think you would need the first ten
to get the butterflies out of your system, and then
you're hoping he got one out of the Yeah, yep, Yeah,
that's tough.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I mean again, you have to factor pressure here real life.
That's what's tough about hypotheticals. You got to really put
yourself in that situation. And you know it ties into
something Rich showed me before. There's a fitness guy that
Rich is a fan of that you see on these infomercials,
Vin Santa, and he's got this hot girlfriend challenge him
his hot model girlfriend. They made like a little friendly

(44:52):
bet on whether or not she can make a thirty
yard field goal. And she did it. Yes, she just
was pretty impressed one perfectly. And you see you see
McAfee do that every Saturday. They give money to charity
and college kids. Yeah, but some women. And that's not
to say that women aren't great athletes, Rich, don't. They
don't have that oomph. I don't have that to push

(45:12):
that over sometimes. So to see that happen, that was
pretty cool. So would you take that physical challenge? Would
you go down the Sunday slide and get the flag
out the nose? Would you take the physical challenge? Or
would you say? Nah, could I I'm not taking that risk?
Could I throw one more at you?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Rich's basketball hypothetical, Let me throw one more at you
it's a baseball one. Yeah, because I saw the likes
of Paul Schimes and Tarrek Schooball and some of the
best answering this question. Regular guy played no minor league baseball,
but he could have played high school back in the day,
or maybe even like college ball at something like maybe

(45:51):
like lower level college ball. One hundred pitches from a
big leaguer, you getting one hit?

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (45:59):
I saw the guys from Perfect pull this off. And
I'm not saying they're not skillful, because they are, but
they did a really great like little peace On. One
of the guys from Dude Perfect going through every stage
of the minor leagues, lit from little league to the
big leagues, and he made contact such hit him as
single like an opposite field off the handle, single off

(46:22):
a big league pitcher. So you know who's that witting?
Discredit myself, I would say, yeah, how much is online
here to make some contact? Yeah, I'd say, disn money,
But do you think you could hit one out of
one hundred yeah pitches? You know who? You know? You
know the dude from Barstool, the gambling got with the
beard as Marty mush contact, Yeah, he he had he

(46:44):
had a big league pitcher throw to him and sort
of told like, if you tell someone what's coming, that's
another thing too. I think I know by the way,
all the pros were like, no one's hitting zero. Zero's
the answer. But if you told me, I don't know Cavino,
Garrett Cole is throwing one hundred straight fastballs, don't you

(47:05):
think halfway through your hundred pitches you'd time it? And
did you'll be able to like pepp or something broke
it up play a little uh yeah, a little pepperack.
But where you'd go zero for one hundred is when
you don't know if a ninety nine mile on hourrow
fastball or an eighty nine mile an hour cutters cut.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
For sure yet, but if someone difference.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
If someone was just dialing up fastball, fastball, fastball, one
hundred pitches, I think you would be able to time
it eventually.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Well, what are your thoughts?

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Those are always funst The Bond agrees it goes all fastballs, yes,
but that's just a baseball man. But the key to
baseball is not knowing if a breaking ball, curveball, slider
is coming. We thought that you could not could not
produce any more Saw movies. But Rich has just proposed
the idea of making Saw eleven Saw sports where there's
death on the line and there's always different game, all

(47:51):
these different scenarios. We'll cut off your testicles if your
wife does not make one three Porter exactly. I mean
you just you just added another movie to the to
the French amazing. Is that your cousin? Can he hit
one ball off a big league picture?

Speaker 2 (48:06):
If not, I'm telling you there's money to be made here.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
If i'll bellyball, hey, maybe that's a show in the works.
Who wants to produce it? Show Boy Mahomes, bring him in.
Let's go bring him in. The mostly lovable Patrick Mahomes.
Truth is, I want everybody to love me, not just
the reps. It's time for some NFL trivia.

I had some bad nachos the night.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Before Jason Jason's and Honolulu listening to Fox Sports. Now, wow,
what a beautiful spot to be listening to CNR.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Didn't Cold you know do the show from their studio
one time?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
I think he did. Yeah, we'll have to ask him
about it.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Pap, can we do a show there once? Don't they
call you the big BUFFOONA shut up?

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Here are the rules for Showtime Homes NFL trivia. The
first contestant with two correct answers is the champion. If
there's a tie, we have a tie breaker question. Your
name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait
until all three possible answers are read. If there's two
wrong answers in a row, we move on to the
next question. What is that dog barking? Back? Jason's dogs?
Listen to dogs are barking? All right? Ready for round one?

(50:34):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Ready, all right, you fools. I'm here, Patrick Mahomes in
T ball. Because of my gun, the coaches made a
special rule for me. A. I can only play first base,
B I had to roll the ball to first base.
Or C I can only play in the outfield Jason.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Base Yes, wow, wow.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Gun had a gun just like my dad. I'm not
gonna lie as the number one t ball coach in
the valley. There's a couple of kids that have some
good arms, and when they throw to a not ready
kid at first, you do hold your breath like, oh crap. Yeah,
so I can see that, Patrick.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
All right, right at the gate, Jason halfway to see
in our turbo in our football. We move on a
round two. All right, Patrick mahomes here, Patrick Glad.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
This dude retired way before I came into the league.
What souvenir did the great Lawrence Taylor request after he
played his last game in ninety four? A the referees
yellow flag, B the cruise chief whistle or C. A
little square of field turf.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Kick Jason for the sweep field turf. No, Rich Rich
for the steal.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
I would imagine the flag, Yeah, Rich on the board,
yellow flagyl fa.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
All right, so Jason Rich both have around us. We
go to the all right round three.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
By the way that I mentioned, we're going to try
to tickle your tonsils with every play and every question.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
All right, so I reads on every every play.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Told you, okay, all right? What was I once quoted
saying about legacy. I would like to be remembered as
the winning is quarterback the game has ever seen. B.
I would love to be remembered for the handful of
songs that have inspired Travy's wife to write, Oh yeah,
show boy. Or I want to be remembered as a winner,

(52:36):
not just a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Jason. I see, yes, you're winner in the Beautiful Islands. Yeah,
so you want to be remembered not just as a QB. Huh.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
I want to be remembered as a winner. All right,
so five and oh next five game?

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Yeah, I was gonna say, you're gonna have to show
something here at the end of the season.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Five and oh, let's go tickling tonsols and some other things.
That's a coach anthy Reid talk about tickling tonsils. Yeah,
we hear that again. You got that's him.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
You know, that's how we roll. We're gonna try to
tickle your tonsils on.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
On every play every game.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Okay, all right, yeah, Jason and Honolulu, congratulations, Thank you. Jason,
hang on the line getting info. As soon as the
ship mental balls arrived. One's going out to you there
and Patrick will see you next week.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
Well, going to do anything playoffs. Let's go all righter, guys,
letter down up.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
By Patrick. Thank you Patrick? All right?

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Now, my thought is that my thought is that for
Patrick and the Chiefs to make the playoffs, they got
to win the next five. Two teams that we talked
about yesterday need to continue to flounder. And those two
teams are the Indianapolis Colts, who have one of the
toughest schedules ahead, and your division rival, Patrick, the Chargers.

(54:10):
I think the Chargers if they start slipping up because
they're so inconsistent that I think for the Chiefs to
make it, the two teams that you got to discount,
right are probably Indianapolis and the Chargers, calls are slipping
a little bit. Who do you counting in as a wildcard?
Danny Buffalo behind the Patriots?

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Right, this is tough and we're gonna have to see
how that broken left hand plays a part with Justin
Herbert and the Chargers. Of course, his coach said he's
not sure if he's going to have to miss any
time or not.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
The way the Chiefs make the playoffs is simple, and
again I'm not schedule watching too much, Sam, but when
you really just look at the the AFC one team's
going to make out of the North, whether it's the
Ravens or the Steelers. You could argue the Ravens, right,
you rather see them in there, or unless you're Aaron
Rodgers and so have you seen that meme of Aaron
Rodgers all bundled up with his bloody knows and it

(55:04):
says it looks like he looks like one of the
thieves from Home alone, one of the thieves. Kevin mccallister's
trying to keep out of the house. That's funny. It
is kind of when you see it's funny. The North
only has one one representative in the playoffs. Let's be
fair there, right. I think in the AFC East, we're
quick to want to say that the Patriots and Buffalo
Bills both make it right, which means two wild cards

(55:30):
in the two divisions, the South and the West. And
if you genuinely believe the cultial collapse and you got
Jacksonville and Houston, if you're the Chiefs, you need to
hope that the Chargers somehow along this path slip up
and they play each other once. The Chargers do play
the Chiefs one. So that's that's the.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
Way in Chargers also have a game against the Texans
in Week seventeen that could have a lot of playoff implications.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
No doubt. In fact, a big game this week could
we could consider the Chiefs playoff conversation may be done
if they lose this week to the Texans. If they
lose this week to the Texans, they have to win
out go ten and seven and hope for other teams
to lose, or if they're able to penetrate their defense
and look solid, then the whole narrative changes like this said,
Oh yeah, hey, well you know, let's go to dB

(56:17):
for an update, and then before the show's over, we'll
spend some time going over as I'm calling it, like
the five ridiculously good games of Week fourteen, there are, guys,
I miscounted six games that feel like playoff football. We're
in Week fourteen. I feel like Chris Harrison in the

(56:39):
two thousands on The Bachelor. It's the most dramatic week ever.
This stuff is intense. Six games that I feel like
are gonna determine the path of the road to the
Super Bowl and the AFC and NFC. So around the
room instinct, no breakdown, no analysis. We'll maybe dive into

(56:59):
that a little more later in the week, but just
your gut instinct. On the six NFL game, my gut's
feeling nice.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
Holiday.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
We don't even need to go over point spreads. I'm
talking just straight up winners, money line, no, no even
point spreads because Summer seven, Summer five, some are one
and two and a half. Let's start with Thursday Night football. Amazon, who,
by the way, I really am impressed with their coverage.
Someone made the point the other day that they really
come into their own, like it's really fun coverage night

(57:29):
the nightcap portion is a lot of fun. Really do well.
Amazon's good. But have you ever seen Amazon Women on
the Moon? It's a classic in the nineties. I believe
I did look it up, all right, So let's start
with that game. Cowboys at Lions. Lions are favored by
three and a half. I don't care about the spread,
but just letting you know. Cowboys at Lions, Okay, six
and five and one for the Cowboys. Lions are seven

(57:52):
and five. A battle of stay in the mix, Danny,
Let's start with there. What do you think, Danny J.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Last week? I thought the Lions were so hungry that
they were going to claw their way to that victory.
But the Cowboys are too good on both sides of
the ball. I feel like it'll be a close game,
but Cowboys prevail.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Cove Bam. I agree completely with Danny g like, you
couldn't win that Thanksgiving game at home with M and
M and Jack White there. I don't know you had
to win that one. They're not showing me a lot Cowboys.
Cowboys are showing you something. I don't know if I was.
Sam's gonna agree with me, but he got in my
head because I knew something was wrong, and he kept
pointing to Ben Johnson's not there, Something's not clicking with

(58:30):
the offense. Sam Laporta's out. They just to me. I
think the Lions it's an off year. I think they're
going to miss the playoffs. I like the Cowboys as well. Sammy,
you know what I will take. I will take the Lions.
Oh all right, dan.

Speaker 8 (58:45):
Byer Lions, okay, spotty boy, never go against Dan Byer.
I'm taking Lions, Okay, good game though.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
They go all right? That would go early games. Let's
zip here, Steelers at Ravens. Steelers at Ravens, Steelers, uh
seven point dogs in Baltimore. I'll be quick. I just
think that Steelers look like a sinking ship. Ravens aren't
playing great, but I think good enough to win, so
I'm going Ravens to keep it quick. I'm with Rich
all the way.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
I'm at Ravens, Danny g I think, but Steelers need
this so badly. They play one of their better games
of the season.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Okay, Dan Byer, what do you think ben Ravens Ravens,
spotty boy, I'll take Ravens on that raven not just
because Dan Buyer said it, and Iowa Samuel. I mean,
did you guys watch them against the Bengals. The Ravens,
they were stinky. But I will take the Ravens. I'll
take because I don't know Steelers are also stinky in
their own ways. I'll take the Ravens. A game that,

(59:41):
my goodness, it has the road Colts two and a
half point favorites against the home team Jacksonville Jags, so
both eight and four. This game is huge Colts Jags,
Dan Biro, let's do.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
With you give me Jacksonville Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Okay, Jags, you know I think they're sinking ship. So
I'm with Deep on this. One. The Colts may show
a little sign of life somewhere, but I think it's
it's not looking good for them, do you, Danny g.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Colts gotta have it. They're not gonna lose three in
a row.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Okay, Spotty Colts. Pavino first instink Jacks. Jack's all right?
I was Sam Jaguar Jaguars?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Alright?

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Uh? Where do we go from here?

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
How about Bears at Packers?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Yes, put it in my veins Joe, Packers are seven
point favorites. Wow, damn. Is there an injury dan by
it that I'm thinking of? Or do they just think
experience home field?

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
Yeah? I think that some people don't believe in the Bears.
I didn't and now they're trying to prove me wrong.
But at some point, all good things must come to
an end, and maybe this winning streak is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
That you go and pa here Bears keep trying to
prove people right. I'm going Packers as well. I think
home field and I think it's it's a big one
for the Packers. I think they're gonna start their dominance back.
Not so fast, Kayleb Williams. We've downplayed the Bears every
week like Dan Byers, I'm sticking with the Bears on
this one.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Yeah, and if you got in early on this, it
was a five and a half point line. I picked
the Packers before the season began to represent in the
Super Bowl. So I'm going Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Sammy sweetheart. Bears have won five in a row. They're
due for a loss. Give me the Packers, okay, and
spotty Bears. Dumb Bears, dumb Bears. All right, two more quickies.
Let's go Fellers. Texans at Chiefs, Chiefs by five and
a half. But don't worry about the points. Red, We're
just picking winners. But the Texans defense, Chiefs at Chiefs

(01:01:32):
at home. You know what I'll start on this one.
I think just when you think the Chiefs are out,
they always somehow find the way to stay alive. I'm
going Chiefs, even though I think the Texans defense will
give them a lot of trouble. And I still think
the Texans will make the playoffs, but I think Chiefs here.
I hate to say it, but I think Chiefs. I
was thinking Texans until I heard Andy Reid's speech, and

(01:01:55):
I'm going Chiefs all the way, Dan Byer, I'll take
the Texans all right, it's botty, Uh, Chiefs, Chiefs, Danny G.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
I think they're gonna slug it out, low scoring game.
Chiefs gotta have it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
So Casey and Samuel give me the tonsil ticklers, I
mean the Chiefs, the Chiefs, and let's wrap it up, guys,
last one Monday night football tickets are way expensive. I
guess a lot of transplants from the East coast out
of here. I just looked tickets like seven hundo to
one thousand regular seats for Eagles at Chargers. The flailing

(01:02:28):
Eagles who are trying to hang on in a way, right,
I mean the Cowboys are on their tail to eight
and four teams Eagles, Chargers, What say you, Danny g?

Speaker 6 (01:02:37):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Both teams so inconsistent. Oh, I'm gonna say the Eagles
get it together.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Eagles for Danny G. What do you think cove first instinct?
I'm going Chargers again? Again, both inconsistent. So I thinks
Eagles find the way. There's no real home field advantage here.
Eagles will make it worth it. They'll again confuse us.
What do you think, sam Eagles damp byre.

Speaker 4 (01:03:02):
Eagles because of Herbert's hand.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Oh Boydan Uh Colberts.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
There you go, and there you have it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
I'll post this uh tomorrow and we'll we'll see who
who could go six for six. Maybe we'll see guys Manyana.
Until then, ribadrecibe you in the later guys,
