(01:29):
be tapping my watch, like what do you say, buddy?

Happy Friday. Happy Friday is right. He's our super producer
on the phones at eighty seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
If you want to chime in, Iowa Sam, Sam, We
(02:12):
Car pulled with Sam yesterday. Yes, that was very much
appreciate that rich really great guy.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Car got Sam got carsick?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah I did. I got joriny Sam.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You really are who what man in his late thirties
early forties is used to riding in the backseat of
a car.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You get sick, I don't know, we're right hand. It's like,
pull over, I'm gonna spew.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That was weird parking on Like, just let me out.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I'm sick. And by the way, this is before any cocktails.
You know. It wasn't like it was not like I
was Sam's designated driver, right right, No, it's on the
way there.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I stand with Iowa, Sam, I am with you. Back
seat no good, real emotion sickness.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You Sam and spots. Oh so I'm guessing you guys
are not roller coaster types.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No lot different. Oh well, I love roller coasters. I
just think being in the backseat of car makes you. Yeah,
it's very different. Yeah, it's a less controlled situation. Well,
bunch of whenies. But it's always great to see Spot
on the videos. And of course the great Dan Bayer
Dan Byer, great hair, great guy, and just great at
what he does.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Know he can't sit in the back seat. Great job.
He doesn't want to show us up because he's got
the coff of a lifetime. So guys, we have lots
to get to today between where we duped by the Cowboys?
Or do they still have a shot Now they don't
have a shot, but I don't know if we were.
I mean they still have a shot they win them all, Yeah,
(03:31):
but I mean, like of a less than ten percent shot.
But they have a shot. It's just no, they're at
eight percent. I believe if they win them all, it's
like almost fifty percent or something like that. If they
win every game moving forward, that's a big if. Well,
you just had you Now you're saying if a team
wins every game, they've left the night after they got rocked. Yeah,
but I do like Dak Prescott's fortitude is ambition. Everything
(03:54):
he says afterward about you know, we're just pissed off.
Now now they're playing with a little edge. I mean,
anything's possible, but yeah, highly doubtful. I agree the Lions
stepped up, So I hope you had a Lions sort
of night. Did you change your mind on anything though?
The Lions? Rich?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Didn't you proclaim that the Lions were done.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Though. Yeah, I mean, I don't picked the Lions over here.
You did, I don't think I'm I'll be truthful. What
did Dan Campbell say in the locker room? Right? He
So I wasn't there. I was well after the company
holiday party, went to the locker room, I went and
hung out with Dan Campbell. No, I went and saw
the highlights and everything, and you know, we were watching
(04:33):
at the bar, watching the game, and he said, you know,
we should be proud of this victory. That's a hell
of a team, man. They were playing really good, really
good football play with a lot of momentum, and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's how we thought they were going to play on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The Lions stepped up. But then again, I don't think
the Lions have lost back to back games in years,
So shame on us for thinking otherwise. They proved to
be the better team. And I'm on ross seat. And
Brown stepped up, and Dan Campbell gave him the ultimate compliment, said,
he epitomizes. He's the epitome of what the Lions are
(05:09):
all about, all heart, discipline and kick assery. And that's
what we saw from them yesterday, beating a hot team
in the Dallas Cowboys and of course the big Lebron story.
So there's a lot to get to. Man, get back
to me next week after they have to come out
here and play the Rams, because that'll be that'll be
yet another amazing test. And you know, when we're done
(05:30):
sweating all the games this week, like, man, this is amazing.
Next week you're gonna go see if the Lions, who
are eight and five, You're gonna be like, wow, they
are they ready to play the Rams out here in
La Because then if they beat the Rams and you're like, oh, wow,
the Lions are right there in the mix. But then
if they lose, yeah, they're eight and six and they're
they're fighting, Bro, They're fighting. So no, I know, Hey,
(05:51):
but they stepped up when they had two yesterday and
I was riding high on the Cowboys. I was believing
the hype and at eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Fun Thursday night Football game. And that leads us
to all the kick ass games this weekend feeling like
playoff caliber type of games. And Rich is gonna pick
(06:12):
his big TV games at a week so very second
round for that very difficult this week because there's so
many games of importance. Now, listen, we can move past
it already. I don't think there's, you know, a deeper
conversation than hey, I don't know if the Cowboys tricked us,
but they were hot, and the Lions are a good team,
and they decided to play to their potential last night.
(06:32):
I'm around say Brown, like you said, epitomized what Lions
football is, what their fans want to and what's who
he is and knowing kid, and he stepped up even
hurt and played a pretty big game for a guy
we weren't sure it was gonna play.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Did you get I'm sorry, Rich, I was gonna say,
I think what tricked us a little bit is it
seemed like the old Cowboys defense before they got Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah. And you know what it felt like to me.
We watched the first half casually where the bar he
got home. For the second half, I felt like any
time the Cowboys were in striking distance, the Lions like, yeah,
that's cool, we're gonna score another touchdown. So you're you're
playing from behind, you put together a drive and then
the Lions would have like four or five played drive
(07:15):
touchdowns and it's like Wow, Hey, that went back. We're
down double digits again. And I'm not saying if there
was another quarter to play, but it just felt like
the Cowboys were playing catch up and they just could
never quite do it right. Yeah, you're down by seven,
all right? Sweet? And there was close for that one
second thirty seven thirty I believe it was, and then
Cowboys pulled away.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
There were also I mean, Dallas had turnovers. They neither
team punted in the second half of this game, and
I think it's just looking at the game. There were
two punts in the first quarter and then one on
the second quarter, and that was it. Dallas turning it
over three times. And there was also an awful call
that went against Dallas inference.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah that was That was a rough one and I
saw that. But Dan Bayer every week to sort of
get a gauge of all the games, the ones. Even
I don't watch that closely. I always look at the
team stats that they always put out, and much like
my baseball coach in college said, most of the time,
the team that makes the most errors will lose, like
ninety percent of the time. If some team turns the
(08:14):
ball over three times and the other team doesn't. Even
in the NFL, the team that turns the ball over
is gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Even in this game.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Turning it over once and there was a late interception
that really didn't matter for Dallas, but the two that
they had, and then the bad penalty when you're already
kind of working out a deficit because you're the underdog
in the game, like the Lin's just you're right, the
lines couldn't be stopped. But I felt that there was
the opportunity for Dallas to match them and to answer
them and be able to and then you know the
Cavino's point. They came back and they made it a
(08:41):
touchdown game, but just in the end, they couldn't overcome
their own mistakes or even that call by the by
the official.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I feel like it's when when when the other team
is unstoppable, like Cavino. You two weeks ago, when we
were in our guys strip you at Cornhall. Oh Jesus,
she'd have saw this guy. He would have beat anyone
in a tailgate parking lot. Every time you were catching
up to Cavino, they had this smooth little dude. Did
you just stop talking to everybody then? As well?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Were people just leaving you alone because you were in
that corn hole zone.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he was thinking it not fun,
Like I was like, since what is this guy a
corn hole champion? Yeah, the day of his life. But yeah,
there are times where like you could be playing well
but you just can't catch up. And you see that
in baseball. Sometimes it's a bummer. Your team's down five runs,
you have a great inning, you tie it, and then
your bull thing gives up two runs and you're like,
(09:31):
now we're done too again. So you know, last night
there were opportunities, but the Cowboys just could not quite
stop what Detroit was doing. And if you can't stop them,
how a you're gonna get the ball back and tie
it up. It was a double digit chase for the
whole second half, So obviously the Lions win, but if
you were at a company party, maybe it missed it
(09:52):
forty four to thirty, but it was closer at one
point over the Cowboys. Do you feel duped or are
the cowboy Boys who you thought they were? And are
you laughing at anyone that believed otherwise? Because they were
playing pretty strong up until yesterday, even though they didn't
play that bad, Like dB said, I have a more
bad few turnovers. And then of course there was some
(10:14):
really excellent NBA last night. Oh we're gonna get to that.
But I have a more of a social question about
last night's holiday party. Sure so I So, first of all,
it's nice to say everyone I had I had a
problem with him, like taking the food away while we
were still picking at it.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh yeah, there was a lot of food left.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
If I were our boss who and iHeart and Premiere
and everyone that put this party together, I think I
would have been a little bummed by them, like being
like all right, scadattle now they had like another party
coming in, so we had all go out on the porch. Yeah, Like,
let's just say our party ended at five thirty or six.
There were some pretty much had to stop watch and
they're like they were like sweeping us out, like what
(10:54):
was the name of a guy on showtime at the Apollogy. Honestly,
let's say, yeah, you're sweeping a sound like the Sandman's
Like yo, let's just say we're chilling. Let's just say
they're like, oh, the iHeart buffet is open till six.
At five point fifty nine and fifty eight seconds, they
would like pulling a French cry out of Covino's hands.
I was not sorry, you've had enough, you have been
moving along. But it was really fun to see everyone.
(11:15):
We have a really great team at iHeart and sports Radio.
It's awkward when some of your colleagues have been trying
to talk to you, but your stuff in your face
with sliders and buffalo wings, because you're just trying to
really cash in on the free grindage, the free grub,
and people are talking like uh huh, yeah, yeah, you
(11:35):
do sales for our show. Yeah, I want to pip away.
It's like, let me eat first. Let me scoff is
a scoff for scarf. That's a demand itself. Let me
scoff this down, sarf, and let me scott. If you're
from the East Coats, it's scaff this down. Let me
scaffed this down, and then we could chat a little
bit about the holidays.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's weird eating in front of someone you've only met
a few times you ever met.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The booze and schmooze was strong. It was weird when
Sam's like, you take this end of the spaghetti, I'll
take the other end, and they kid that no, I
did have one observation that we'll get to the NBA
and a bunch of other fun stuff. This is a
weak move because I listen, I'm not a twenty year
old kid. Well, that's even illegal. I'm not a twenty
one year old kid trying to get trashed. Now. I
(12:18):
was gonna say twenty year old kid drinking, but that's illegal,
So it's a bad example. I'm not a twenty one
year old kid trying to get trashed. I'm not out like, hey,
I mean my buddies are getting ripped tonight playing Hey, mister, yeah,
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not in that world. I'm like,
I'm a guy in his forties. I'm a dad. I'm
having like one cocktail and I'm you know, moving along.
You're not playing beer pong and having some bru hajas.
(12:39):
So some teddy Bruceki's I had. I had to. It
was it was gross because I had everyone try my drink.
So if one of us is sick, we're all sick now.
But Danny and I was saying, you know, did they
not give me straight vodka?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh? That was like rubbing alcohol, but it killed everything
in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Anyway, if they give you, and it didn't seem like
I said Tito's in my mind. I'm like, this isn't titos.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You can't tell the differences allocau rubbing.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's like it was like rubbing alcohol vodka, but there
was no soda or sprite or whatever. Is it a
week move for a grown man's back. This streak is
too strong. I didn't know what to dine am because
they're acting like they're a favor. That's a day I said, hey,
I went to the bartender. I'm like, hey, man, I
don't want to look like a woofs or anything, but
can you give me like a glass of club soda
(13:32):
or something to water this down? Like, honestly, that's the move.
You just ask for something on the side, because I
feel like, uh, if you're a bartender's just a message
to people that bartend they're working restaurants. You're doing the
twenty year old twenty one year old kit a favor
by giving them a hefty poor I think anyone of
grown man or woman age rather a tasty cocktail than
(13:53):
a loaded cock To say that, though, but some of
the adults there are pretty tipsy on a random Thursday
night and that's the truth. So some people want to
cash in on that too, like oh man, free moves,
let's go, that's my Christmas bonus. Yeah, I got to
tell you we got there after the shottle, so people
were feeling pretty nice. I could tell no there. And
(14:16):
that's always a fun thing too, when someone's already a
couple drinks in and you just get there. You're like,
oh yeah, there's conversations we had to catch up to
put it kindly, well, hey, hopefully you're enjoying your company parties,
your work events, all that good stuff as Christmas is here?
Can I say on our bonus podcast over Promised, we
do talk about the company holiday party rules, the dues
(14:38):
and don'ts of the company holiday party. So can I
give everyone one here just a little teased to watch
our podcast And that's on our YouTube page, Covino and
Rich FSR. If you want to watch it. It's sort
of a must watch before you go out. Some great
reminders to share with people. I'll give you a really
good one. I think it's okay to get a little
buzz at the company partner party fun, but you know what,
you got to be not the drunkest because there's gonna
(15:01):
be one person who's the talk of the office. Do
you see Doug or John or Frank or hey, you
know afraid you know Johnny I had one too many,
see what he was doing. There's always gonna be one
guy that drinks too much and throws the chair. Don't
be No, he wasn't drunk. I heard him talking about it.
(15:24):
Don't be that you named someone who actually is named
Doug who works here. Let's he's just gott Lieb in
the press. I I'm telling you you're listening that he's
a fabio. He's just He's just one name celebrity nowadays.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Sam was amazed that when Doug through the chair that
they just referred to him as Gottlieb on a website
like like Share Madonna, Gottlieb those that's what I think
of him.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yes, he's no longer Doug. I like the aggressiveness, by
the way. Yeah, I mean, passion is a good thing.
I don't know that's believing that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Throws the I would have thrown two chairs.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But you never want to be the most drunk Tom, Dick,
Harry or Doug. Never want to be the drugs person
at the party and more of that on over promised
our bonus pod. So Rich, let's set this up and
let's get the phone calls going about Lebron too. Okay,
because it was a big game for the Lakers last night.
(16:21):
They won on a buzzer beater, Hachi Mora with the
three point buzzer beater, lots of excitement. Dude, I had
a double take. I didn't have my glasses on. I'm like,
is that Lebron jumping up and down like a little
school boy? Like I really couldn't tell, And I'm like,
oh my god, it was. It was really cool to see.
It was really cool to see how much he still cares,
(16:42):
how much it still means to him. I'll never question
his passion or his game in that way, but we
did question the streak we did, and I'm doubling down
on everything I said leading up to it. Interestingly enough,
before that game last night, we posted a clip on
social media from our show the day before, and we
(17:04):
had debated Wednesday show. We had debated Lebron James and
how in some of that garbage time at the end
of a loss to the Suns, Lebron was out there
and it's clear it was to keep the double digit
streak alive. It felt that way, and my take was
during garbage time, you know what, it's garbage time. I
have no problem with Lebron keeping that streak. And then
(17:25):
Cavino said, well, it just leans into his mebron selfish.
You know, given haters ammunition. People need to understand too.
I'm not coming from a hateful place, not hating, just
stating if people could see that he's not playing defense
and he's only there to score to ten points, it's
going to give ammunition to those people that want to
talk about Lebron James. And my point was, dude, let
(17:47):
it go. Let's focus on wins and let it go.
It takes a lot of pressure off, a lot of
relief off this streak. And you know what, with Lebron's legacy,
while it is a cool streak, I don't think it's
I don't think it's going to change the way any
of us think of him if that ends or begins
or And that's why I said, like, just let it go,
because then they could focus on other things like Lebron
(18:09):
dishing off and let these other dudes shine because that's
the chemistry that's working for the team. Right now, And
that's exactly what happened the very next day and within
twenty four hours of us doing this in plus in
the clip, Lebron scores eight and instead of going for
the game winning shot on his own to get to
double digits, he dishes it off for the assist. And
(18:32):
by the way, I was premeditated too, because according to Hachimur,
he said that before the play, like it's going to you.
So so cool to see how it played out.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, lebron knew Austin Reeves would get doubled.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, yeah, it was so cool that he had the
foresight to do that, and it all turned out that
he hit the shot, and what a perfect way to
end that streak. But there's so many levels to this
conversation that we got to open it up and go
deeper to what level One, If he takes the shot,
he's selfish, right right, Yeah, if he makes it, awesome,
(19:04):
but oh it's me Bron. If he dishes it off
and hot, you more misses. Lebron's scared to take the
last shot. You know, big game players take the shot. Water,
isn't you take the shot? So it's almost like Lebron's in.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
A no win, or he's selfish going to continue trying
to continue his right.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, either way, So he's either selfish because he takes
the shot and he's me Bron, or he dishes it
off and you know he's not a big game player
because he doesn't want to take the last shot. So
either way, it feels like he has Lebron and a
no win. And you know what, I'm not buying, though, Rich,
I'm not buying because after the game, obviously they talked
about it, and yeah, what does it mean to you?
Means nothing because we got the win, and I believe
(19:45):
that the win meant a lot. We saw his celebration.
It was a perfect way to end the streak. But
don't tell me after two thousand and seven and ninety
seven games with ten points or more, it doesn't mean anything.
Absolutely means something, But I think it was a perfect
time to let it go, in a perfect way to
let it go. dB, you got some thoughts on this,
(20:06):
because we're gonna ppen it up to some phone calls.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I think Lebron was so excited that they won on
his pass without Luka Doncic playing. Oh that's why I
think he was so excited. They won a game against
a good Toronto team, one of the better teams in
the East so far this season, doing it where he
was a part of the play and Luka Doncic, everybody's
new favorite, was not there to save the day for
(20:29):
the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's how I read it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's why I love chopping it up with you guys.
Honestly didn't even cross my mind. And I think that's
such a great yeah, that angle that i'm because he
was like really excited, Yes, you're right, he should be.
I'm like, damn, man, that's kind of crazy. So your thoughts.
And then there's of course the thought of we were
just talking about this on Wednesday. We posted a clip
(20:53):
about it yesterday, and then there's a lot of feedback
of like, your clip aged poorly, and I get that
sent to me. I don't at all, though I understand
I'm going to get that feedback, but did it really
We pointed it out and it ended the very next day.
You know, It's so funny. I asked my wife, because
my wife is quick to be like, yeah, you're wrong,
(21:14):
I go, babe, watch this clip. And then I explained
to her what happened with Lebron last night and she's like,
how did that age wrong at all? She's like, I
don't get it. You and Cavino debated what Lebron's you know,
what the take is, and it just coincidentally happened. If anything,
you could argue that you guys were on point with
a good conversation. Yeah, or I don't get she doesn't
(21:35):
not even understand how I was like, yeah, I don't
get it either. You know, the feedback will say like, yeah,
what do you got to say now, It's like, well,
I was never hating Anna.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I didn't think it aged it. I didn't think that
was the problem that when people comment this aged poorly.
I didn't think that was the case. I just thought
because the streak ended, maybe we could update it. But yeah,
the point was, the big point we were making was
stay in the flow of the game. Remember how I
talked about when we filled in for the Dan Patrick
Show and Lebron made his debut on the season and
(22:04):
he fit in perfectly that night, remember, and we were saying,
if he could find that role, that niche on the
team and just go with the flow and not force things,
this Laker team could go deep like.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
El Payeha said this video h poorly. I'm like, how,
but other people are hitting us up saying, Yo, it's
your fault, like laughing that we brought it up and
that's the day. But you knew what was gonna happen
because Lebron's role on this team, Danny, as you said,
it does seem like there's an emphasis to maybe take
a little bit of it back out the arthritis in
(22:36):
his foot, which is something else we got to talk about,
like some old guy injuries and things like that. So
your thoughts on Lebron's streak. It almost ended, like I said, perfectly,
What a perfect way to end it, dishing it off,
showing everybody that I'm not selfish. Luca wasn't there, Like
dB said, you know they won because I dished it off.
(22:57):
But I think it's also like foreshadowing of of what's
to come and how they're gonna win and the way
they should be playing moving forward. Lakers win one twenty three,
one twenty. But that's a streak that started when Bronni
James was just a little baby. Kim our buddy whyman
on the chat to the saying the chat is lit today.
(23:18):
Steban s Steban R said KD. I don't know if
this streue goes. KD is at like two hundred and
sixty seven. So for someone to match that streak, it's
a long long road ahead. For anyone to match that
streak of double digits, it's a pretty impressive thing. But
it was the perfect way to end it, right, Eighteen
years of ten points or more ended last night, the day,
(23:40):
the very day after we were talking about it. So
it almost felt like orchestrated in a way. I'm not
trying to say Lebron intentionally scoring under ten points to
take the heat off of them, but I think he
was okay with it on that day, like all right,
it's time.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
And I think it highlights his new role, yeah, on
his current team, and.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You know what, and I think he accepted that last night.
And it's a team that has the second best reference
record in the Western Conference. So so far, so good.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Maybe next week? Rich That's when I was in the
back of your backs of your car. You gave me
one of those popcorn jelly bellies and then you said this.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
If you're goin, it's spew spew into this. So that's
what made me sick. It wasn't the car. How about
uh next week for the holidays, Daddy want to do
some uh some like some trivia and if we get
the question wrong, you have to eat one of the
bad jelly beans.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It's like a like a roulette.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah, bean Boozle's that has anybody got the Curius's thumb
flavor or Cavino's ring finger flavor for just putting your hand.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, it is a communitypool brown thumb okay thumb flavor. Yeah,
my goodness, definitely touch parts of their body and then
reach their hand in there without washing their hands. Ross. Yeah,
everybody here is digging in that bang all day.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Thank god, I haven't even taken one of those one.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
This wee big sexy Ryan put his hands there and
then he started smelling his fingers. Rich, which one did
you say you had? Oh? And then I had the
liquorice one. Okay, Well hold that full black liquorice guy.
Because Cavino and Rich are live from the Fox Sports
Radio studio, no more waiting your goals start now, Rich,
write this down because you've been eating lots of candy.
Cyber Monday deals are still going on. Cyber Friday continues.
(29:23):
Take your workouts around the world with Nordic Track and
I fit stave big on treadmills. So if you're eating
all the candy and all the holiday fixin's, like Rich,
I fit Nordic Track, and I fit bikes and rowers
at Nordic track dot com, Nordic Track Train anywhere, explore everybody.
I need some Nordic Track in my life to go
with my my new supplements that the Boss was being
(29:45):
in fun of. I told him, I was like, I'm
gonna look twenty five by next month because I started
taking NAD plus twenty five pounds heavier, and he's like,
my man's jelly beans. My man, you're just gonna pee
it out. That ain't gonna work. So I had loading
up on NATS NAD plus. If you don't know about it,
look it up. I'm not promoted. I'm just saying I
feel like by next week, Sam, I'm gonna look twenty
five years old. So get this, guys, I hope you
(30:07):
had a Lion's I'm Anross Saint Brown, Dan Campbell, Gop
sort of night a Lebron James Lakers sort tonight. But
there's an update with Lebron. Yeah, And I do think
he ended that streak perfectly, even though he lied about it.
I think he cared about the streak. Come on, you
can't have a streak it's beautiful for the majority of
(30:28):
your career since two thousand and seven and not care.
But it did end perfectly. Now they could focus on
the chemistry that works for that team, which is exactly
how it ended. Yesterday, Lakers announced that Lebron James has
been dealing with left foot joint arthritis. Left foot joint
arthritis in addition to his right sciatica. So he's doubtful
(30:48):
to play against the Celtics, unless, of course, dB has
an update that I don't know about yet.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Mike, Grandma has that.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, well that's perfect funny would say that because now
we're gonna talk about old guy injuries and old guy
things like that. Date you Because Rich just had the
black liquorice and he said it was his favorite one.
I said, I must Does that mean I'm getting old?
Because I had the black liquorice and I was like,
this is pretty good. It's like beer barrels, Like you
(31:14):
remember Grandpa would eat root beer barrels. Maybe I'm a
sucker for a good root. The old guy Grandpa can
age Davis. Maybe I'm you know who else loves him?
Pee wee Herman, look it up. He puts a little
strong and he puts a little strong on them. Pee wee.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I'll tell you what when it comes to little things
where you're like, oh man, this feels like an old
guy thing about a year and a half ago, two
years ago, what else do you like? Rich? Ribbon candy?
No I sassafras soda. I came in here a couple
of years ago and luckily I'm all good now. But
I remember telling you, guys. I'm like, guys, I have
plantar fasci itis. My foot was hurting, and I'm like
(31:56):
I need Like, uh, that's not something you want to
say with like hot chicks are around, I know. I
was like, I I have to put aside like nice
sneakers that I'm like, guys, I need like a really
good supportive pair of sneakers. And I was like, do
I have to buy like Brooks or so what are
they hocus Like, I remember having a foot issue and
I was like, oh, man, is this what happens when
you're forty and Lebron is you know, his injury reporter
(32:19):
helped those nads work. His injury report is starting to
sound like ailments your forty something the year old buddies have,
so just you know, it's it's amazing what he's doing
when you think about the reality of how old Lebron
he has the luxury of in Austin Reeves, who's playing
like a superstar right hitting shots like crazy shots off
the glass that aren't even supposed to go in there
(32:41):
going in. So I think he needs to lean into
the fact that they don't need him to play that much,
and they don't need you know, the Lebron were used
to and he could rely on those dudes, and I
think that could work. But you're right, it sounds like
an old guy thing. And he said it like, hey man,
it's just because I'm getting old. I think the one
(33:01):
word that if you say, I don't care if it's
Lebron James or you know, a legendary veteran quarterback, if
it's Matthew Stafford or anyone a little older. When you
say the word arthritis, I think of my grandma. I
really do. I think of my grandma. They're reaching my
ar right is yeah. But you know what, people on
their phones all the time with tech neck and type
(33:23):
and all the time their hands are getting sore. Numb
thumb younger, Yeah, numb thumb. Younger people are experiencing this stuff.
So I want you to start thinking about this, and
we're gonna go to Dan Bayer. What are some ailments
or references or black liquorice sort of things that are
dead giveaways that you're older. Right If someone says, oh,
(33:43):
if someone says something about their authright is you automatically
know they're probably older than me. One of those dead giveaways.
We'll talk about them. Let's go to Dan Byer Live.
Put my numb thumb in the jelly. I heard you
ordered around a boost for everybody less night at the
company party, one for everybody. Did you say Lebron was doubtful?
Is that what you said? Cavino? What were you saying?
(34:04):
That's what I said. Cording to Bleach report, Y, yeah,
earlier today, good because I can update it. He's out.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
He's not going to play tonight, so he has been
ruled out. In fact, head coach JJ Reddick said that
there's a possibility Luka Doncic could return Sunday when they
face the seventy six Ers. No Luca tonight either, as
the Lakers have faced the Celtics. NFL news no Kyler
Murray for the rest of the season, quarterback being ruled
out because of his foot injury. Cardinals wide receiver Marvin
(34:30):
Harrison Junior is going to miss some of this game
against the Rams because of his heel injury. Commander's quarterback
Jayden Daniels he is off the injury report and good
to go. He will start coming up against the Vikings
coming up in week fourteen. That's kind of a game
that's completely lost, but of two quarterbacks that are you know,
McCarthy trying to come back and Daniels could have been
(34:52):
a lot worse with.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
The quarterbacking, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Absolutely, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson practice today and will start
against Pittsburgh. Bengals tight end t Higgins going to face
the Bills after clearing concussion protocol. Defensive Entray Hendrickson is out.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said now the wide receiver
Mike Evans or Jalen McMillan will play against the Saints
on Sunday despite practicing this week. Last night, the Lions
lost Brian Branch for the season because of a torn achilles.
(35:17):
Suffered that injury in that contest against the Dallas Cowboys.
Penn State on the verge of hiring Iowa States Matt
Campbell to be their head coach, and the World Cup
final draw was announced today. The United States will be
playing in Group D and they will be playing with Paraguay,
Australia and the winner of a European playoff that will
(35:38):
be decided at the end of the month. Sesame Street
helped raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate
this holiday season at sesame dot org because the world
needs Sesame and Sesame needs you US. Will play their
match against Paraguay in Los Angeles on Friday June twelfth.
They'll have another match in La on June twenty fifth.
That's a Thursday against the winner of the European playoff
Friday June nineteenth in Seattle against the Aufse's to.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
You, Thank you dB. Now Fox Sports Radio Nation again,
start thinking, what are those ailments? What are those references?
Those things that people talk about that are dead giveaways
that they're older than you? All right, start thinking about
eight seven seven ninety nine On Fox Plus, we're gonna
go with some of the mean, amazing matchups we've got
in the NFL. Plus will do big TV Game of
the Week and we'll play brain Wave giveaway some prizes.
(36:21):
So really fun hour coming. So hang tight more Coveno
and Rich next, Ching It It Ching the Italian Christmas
Donkeyda la la la la la la la la la
(36:43):
la la la la la la la la Shout out
to all my pythons. Oh I hope you get that
gabba ghul in your stocking. I hope you get a
donkey sweet slice of Pantone for your Chrisms party. Anyway,
We're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. The Hew's of It. Lee. Yes,
(37:06):
hard for me to concentrate with this Christmas class I've
never heard this before until it is great. It's the
story of Dominic the Donkey Iowa, Sam, Can I tell
you I was saying Christmas Donky before we were here
at Fox Sports Radio, CIVI you know, and I you
know some people know. We were at Serrius XM for years, right,
we would play that song around Christmas, and much like
here at Fox Sports Radio where we're on random parts
(37:27):
of the country, around the whole world. Some cities that
is the most popular song. Other people like never heard it. Yeah,
my girlfriend's from Idaho, never heard of it, heard of
them now It's her favorite song for real. When I
tell you, I was saying, in New York, they play
that song every hour on the hour, on like on
multiple radio stations. Yeah. Now, the region we grew up on,
(37:49):
the East Coast a bunch of batcha gloops. So anyway,
Covino and Rich out here on the West Side line
from the Fox Sports Radio Studio, Happy Holidays, is time
for our tire rect play of the day. Lebron made
the right play instead of going for his record double
digit streak.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Just make sure you get the last shot in regular weirds.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
There it goes roots to Jones chick it corner growing
to win the game, and James gave him the basketball.
I love hello and James gave him the basketball. The
assist was as impressive as the shot. Lakers win buzzer
(38:31):
beater over the Raptors one twenty three, one twenty courtesy
of Lakers Television from Spectrum Sportsnet. And that's our tire
Raq Play of the Day. For over forty years, Tirak
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free back
by free Road has the protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation Tirack dot Comoy tire buying should
(38:51):
be And you know, as I heard that call, and
you know we saw it, and we saw Lebron freaking
out in excitement. The whole team was super pumped, lots
of chest pumps. That's sort of how we end every
good show here at Fox Sports Radio. If he didn't
hit that shot, then Lebron just ends the streak and
it's weak. I know the fact that he hit, that
(39:14):
he made that perfect pass and that he hit the
shot is what made it awesome. It's imperfect ending. It's
indicative of the new, unselfish team play of Lebron James
at this stage of his career, you know what. So
good for him. He had a shot, so he made
the ending of the streak perfect and poetic, and they
get the W.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
So it really was awesome. I love the three pointers
from Really Too. They're almost like line drives, like smooth
line drives, the opposite of the rainbow from Jamal Clawford
back in the day.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Now two quick thoughts. Number one, I'm still thinking about
Dominic to Donkey. You know why Santon needs Dominic to Donkey?
I was sam because Rudolph don't Rudolph can't climb the
hills of it to Lee, come on, don't they fly?
Are you ruining the song? Don't bring your logic into
(40:05):
this Christmas classic. Don't be Matt Rife. So my other
thought was, if you're in Boston tonight, I'm sure it
might be snowy. My mom and brother in Maryland and
my sister in New York. Bolt said, snowy, very very
you know, cold wintery weather on the East Coast. Imagine
you put on your big ass jacket, you bundle up
(40:26):
to go see the Celtics Lakers. No Lebron, no Luca.
I get it. You expect that. You got almost prepare
for that when you go to the NBA. Oh, that's
a major. When you go to an NBA game regular season,
it's a possibility. But Celtics Lakers historic rivalry, you show
up there with your kid, no Luca, no Lebron, It's
(40:47):
gotta be disappointing, right. It makes me think of the
Birthday Boy. This week, Rich's dad had tickets to see
Hugh Jackman in the lead of a play on Broadway,
and they found out Huge wasn't performing. It's like, oh,
I want a refund an he got. My dad's like,
I did not come to New York City. I want
to see the understand. Yeah, this is not what I
(41:07):
paid for. So my dad's like, I got it. You can.
By the way, you can get a refund if you
go to a Broadway show and the star is not there,
you can. Yeah, this could have been your chance to
see Lebron and Luca and it's not happening. But guess what,
You can't get your money back. All right, We got

If you want to chime in, Iowa Sam, Sam, We
(02:12):
Car pulled with Sam yesterday. Yes, that was very much
appreciate that rich really great guy.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Car got Sam got carsick?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah I did. I got joriny Sam.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You really are who what man in his late thirties
early forties is used to riding in the backseat of
a car.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You get sick, I don't know, we're right hand. It's like,
pull over, I'm gonna spew.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That was weird parking on Like, just let me out.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I'm sick. And by the way, this is before any cocktails.
You know. It wasn't like it was not like I
was Sam's designated driver, right right, No, it's on the
way there.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I stand with Iowa, Sam, I am with you. Back
seat no good, real emotion sickness.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You Sam and spots. Oh so I'm guessing you guys
are not roller coaster types.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
No lot different. Oh well, I love roller coasters. I
just think being in the backseat of car makes you. Yeah,
it's very different. Yeah, it's a less controlled situation. Well,
bunch of whenies. But it's always great to see Spot
on the videos. And of course the great Dan Bayer
Dan Byer, great hair, great guy, and just great at
what he does.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Know he can't sit in the back seat. Great job.
He doesn't want to show us up because he's got
the coff of a lifetime. So guys, we have lots
to get to today between where we duped by the Cowboys?
Or do they still have a shot Now they don't
have a shot, but I don't know if we were.
I mean they still have a shot they win them all, Yeah,
(03:31):
but I mean, like of a less than ten percent shot.
But they have a shot. It's just no, they're at
eight percent. I believe if they win them all, it's
like almost fifty percent or something like that. If they
win every game moving forward, that's a big if. Well,
you just had you Now you're saying if a team
wins every game, they've left the night after they got rocked. Yeah,
but I do like Dak Prescott's fortitude is ambition. Everything
(03:54):
he says afterward about you know, we're just pissed off.
Now now they're playing with a little edge. I mean,
anything's possible, but yeah, highly doubtful. I agree the Lions
stepped up, So I hope you had a Lions sort
of night. Did you change your mind on anything though?
The Lions? Rich?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Didn't you proclaim that the Lions were done.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Though. Yeah, I mean, I don't picked the Lions over here.
You did, I don't think I'm I'll be truthful. What
did Dan Campbell say in the locker room? Right? He
So I wasn't there. I was well after the company
holiday party, went to the locker room, I went and
hung out with Dan Campbell. No, I went and saw
the highlights and everything, and you know, we were watching
(04:33):
at the bar, watching the game, and he said, you know,
we should be proud of this victory. That's a hell
of a team, man. They were playing really good, really
good football play with a lot of momentum, and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's how we thought they were going to play on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The Lions stepped up. But then again, I don't think
the Lions have lost back to back games in years,
So shame on us for thinking otherwise. They proved to
be the better team. And I'm on ross seat. And
Brown stepped up, and Dan Campbell gave him the ultimate compliment, said,
he epitomizes. He's the epitome of what the Lions are
(05:09):
all about, all heart, discipline and kick assery. And that's
what we saw from them yesterday, beating a hot team
in the Dallas Cowboys and of course the big Lebron story.
So there's a lot to get to. Man, get back
to me next week after they have to come out
here and play the Rams, because that'll be that'll be
yet another amazing test. And you know, when we're done
(05:30):
sweating all the games this week, like, man, this is amazing.
Next week you're gonna go see if the Lions, who
are eight and five, You're gonna be like, wow, they
are they ready to play the Rams out here in
La Because then if they beat the Rams and you're like, oh, wow,
the Lions are right there in the mix. But then
if they lose, yeah, they're eight and six and they're
they're fighting, Bro, They're fighting. So no, I know, Hey,
(05:51):
but they stepped up when they had two yesterday and
I was riding high on the Cowboys. I was believing
the hype and at eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Fun Thursday night Football game. And that leads us
to all the kick ass games this weekend feeling like
playoff caliber type of games. And Rich is gonna pick
(06:12):
his big TV games at a week so very second
round for that very difficult this week because there's so
many games of importance. Now, listen, we can move past
it already. I don't think there's, you know, a deeper
conversation than hey, I don't know if the Cowboys tricked us,
but they were hot, and the Lions are a good team,
and they decided to play to their potential last night.
(06:32):
I'm around say Brown, like you said, epitomized what Lions
football is, what their fans want to and what's who
he is and knowing kid, and he stepped up even
hurt and played a pretty big game for a guy
we weren't sure it was gonna play.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Did you get I'm sorry, Rich, I was gonna say,
I think what tricked us a little bit is it
seemed like the old Cowboys defense before they got Quinn Williams.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah. And you know what it felt like to me.
We watched the first half casually where the bar he
got home. For the second half, I felt like any
time the Cowboys were in striking distance, the Lions like, yeah,
that's cool, we're gonna score another touchdown. So you're you're
playing from behind, you put together a drive and then
the Lions would have like four or five played drive
(07:15):
touchdowns and it's like Wow, Hey, that went back. We're
down double digits again. And I'm not saying if there
was another quarter to play, but it just felt like
the Cowboys were playing catch up and they just could
never quite do it right. Yeah, you're down by seven,
all right? Sweet? And there was close for that one
second thirty seven thirty I believe it was, and then
Cowboys pulled away.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
There were also I mean, Dallas had turnovers. They neither
team punted in the second half of this game, and
I think it's just looking at the game. There were
two punts in the first quarter and then one on
the second quarter, and that was it. Dallas turning it
over three times. And there was also an awful call
that went against Dallas inference.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah that was That was a rough one and I
saw that. But Dan Bayer every week to sort of
get a gauge of all the games, the ones. Even
I don't watch that closely. I always look at the
team stats that they always put out, and much like
my baseball coach in college said, most of the time,
the team that makes the most errors will lose, like
ninety percent of the time. If some team turns the
(08:14):
ball over three times and the other team doesn't. Even
in the NFL, the team that turns the ball over
is gonna lose.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Even in this game.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Turning it over once and there was a late interception
that really didn't matter for Dallas, but the two that
they had, and then the bad penalty when you're already
kind of working out a deficit because you're the underdog
in the game, like the Lin's just you're right, the
lines couldn't be stopped. But I felt that there was
the opportunity for Dallas to match them and to answer
them and be able to and then you know the
Cavino's point. They came back and they made it a
(08:41):
touchdown game, but just in the end, they couldn't overcome
their own mistakes or even that call by the by
the official.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I feel like it's when when when the other team
is unstoppable, like Cavino. You two weeks ago, when we
were in our guys strip you at Cornhall. Oh Jesus,
she'd have saw this guy. He would have beat anyone
in a tailgate parking lot. Every time you were catching
up to Cavino, they had this smooth little dude. Did
you just stop talking to everybody then? As well?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Were people just leaving you alone because you were in
that corn hole zone.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he was thinking it not fun,
Like I was like, since what is this guy a
corn hole champion? Yeah, the day of his life. But yeah,
there are times where like you could be playing well
but you just can't catch up. And you see that
in baseball. Sometimes it's a bummer. Your team's down five runs,
you have a great inning, you tie it, and then
your bull thing gives up two runs and you're like,
(09:31):
now we're done too again. So you know, last night
there were opportunities, but the Cowboys just could not quite
stop what Detroit was doing. And if you can't stop them,
how a you're gonna get the ball back and tie
it up. It was a double digit chase for the
whole second half, So obviously the Lions win, but if
you were at a company party, maybe it missed it
(09:52):
forty four to thirty, but it was closer at one
point over the Cowboys. Do you feel duped or are
the cowboy Boys who you thought they were? And are
you laughing at anyone that believed otherwise? Because they were
playing pretty strong up until yesterday, even though they didn't
play that bad, Like dB said, I have a more
bad few turnovers. And then of course there was some
(10:14):
really excellent NBA last night. Oh we're gonna get to that.
But I have a more of a social question about
last night's holiday party. Sure so I So, first of all,
it's nice to say everyone I had I had a
problem with him, like taking the food away while we
were still picking at it.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh yeah, there was a lot of food left.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
If I were our boss who and iHeart and Premiere
and everyone that put this party together, I think I
would have been a little bummed by them, like being
like all right, scadattle now they had like another party
coming in, so we had all go out on the porch. Yeah, Like,
let's just say our party ended at five thirty or six.
There were some pretty much had to stop watch and
they're like they were like sweeping us out, like what
(10:54):
was the name of a guy on showtime at the Apollogy. Honestly,
let's say, yeah, you're sweeping a sound like the Sandman's
Like yo, let's just say we're chilling. Let's just say
they're like, oh, the iHeart buffet is open till six.
At five point fifty nine and fifty eight seconds, they
would like pulling a French cry out of Covino's hands.
I was not sorry, you've had enough, you have been
moving along. But it was really fun to see everyone.
(11:15):
We have a really great team at iHeart and sports Radio.
It's awkward when some of your colleagues have been trying
to talk to you, but your stuff in your face
with sliders and buffalo wings, because you're just trying to
really cash in on the free grindage, the free grub,
and people are talking like uh huh, yeah, yeah, you
(11:35):
do sales for our show. Yeah, I want to pip away.
It's like, let me eat first. Let me scoff is
a scoff for scarf. That's a demand itself. Let me
scoff this down, sarf, and let me scott. If you're
from the East Coats, it's scaff this down. Let me
scaffed this down, and then we could chat a little
bit about the holidays.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
It's weird eating in front of someone you've only met
a few times you ever met.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The booze and schmooze was strong. It was weird when
Sam's like, you take this end of the spaghetti, I'll
take the other end, and they kid that no, I
did have one observation that we'll get to the NBA
and a bunch of other fun stuff. This is a
weak move because I listen, I'm not a twenty year
old kid. Well, that's even illegal. I'm not a twenty
one year old kid trying to get trashed. Now. I
(12:18):
was gonna say twenty year old kid drinking, but that's illegal,
So it's a bad example. I'm not a twenty one
year old kid trying to get trashed. I'm not out like, hey,
I mean my buddies are getting ripped tonight playing Hey, mister, yeah,
I'm not. I'm not. I'm not in that world. I'm like,
I'm a guy in his forties. I'm a dad. I'm
having like one cocktail and I'm you know, moving along.
You're not playing beer pong and having some bru hajas.
(12:39):
So some teddy Bruceki's I had. I had to. It
was it was gross because I had everyone try my drink.
So if one of us is sick, we're all sick now.
But Danny and I was saying, you know, did they
not give me straight vodka?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh? That was like rubbing alcohol, but it killed everything
in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Anyway, if they give you, and it didn't seem like
I said Tito's in my mind. I'm like, this isn't titos.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You can't tell the differences allocau rubbing.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's like it was like rubbing alcohol vodka, but there
was no soda or sprite or whatever. Is it a
week move for a grown man's back. This streak is
too strong. I didn't know what to dine am because
they're acting like they're a favor. That's a day I said, hey,
I went to the bartender. I'm like, hey, man, I
don't want to look like a woofs or anything, but
can you give me like a glass of club soda
(13:32):
or something to water this down? Like, honestly, that's the move.
You just ask for something on the side, because I
feel like, uh, if you're a bartender's just a message
to people that bartend they're working restaurants. You're doing the
twenty year old twenty one year old kit a favor
by giving them a hefty poor I think anyone of
grown man or woman age rather a tasty cocktail than
(13:53):
a loaded cock To say that, though, but some of
the adults there are pretty tipsy on a random Thursday
night and that's the truth. So some people want to
cash in on that too, like oh man, free moves,
let's go, that's my Christmas bonus. Yeah, I got to
tell you we got there after the shottle, so people
were feeling pretty nice. I could tell no there. And
(14:16):
that's always a fun thing too, when someone's already a
couple drinks in and you just get there. You're like,
oh yeah, there's conversations we had to catch up to
put it kindly, well, hey, hopefully you're enjoying your company parties,
your work events, all that good stuff as Christmas is here?
Can I say on our bonus podcast over Promised, we
do talk about the company holiday party rules, the dues
(14:38):
and don'ts of the company holiday party. So can I
give everyone one here just a little teased to watch
our podcast And that's on our YouTube page, Covino and
Rich FSR. If you want to watch it. It's sort
of a must watch before you go out. Some great
reminders to share with people. I'll give you a really
good one. I think it's okay to get a little
buzz at the company partner party fun, but you know what,
you got to be not the drunkest because there's gonna
(15:01):
be one person who's the talk of the office. Do
you see Doug or John or Frank or hey, you
know afraid you know Johnny I had one too many,
see what he was doing. There's always gonna be one
guy that drinks too much and throws the chair. Don't
be No, he wasn't drunk. I heard him talking about it.
(15:24):
Don't be that you named someone who actually is named
Doug who works here. Let's he's just gott Lieb in
the press. I I'm telling you you're listening that he's
a fabio. He's just He's just one name celebrity nowadays.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Sam was amazed that when Doug through the chair that
they just referred to him as Gottlieb on a website
like like Share Madonna, Gottlieb those that's what I think
of him.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yes, he's no longer Doug. I like the aggressiveness, by
the way. Yeah, I mean, passion is a good thing.
I don't know that's believing that.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Throws the I would have thrown two chairs.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But you never want to be the most drunk Tom, Dick,
Harry or Doug. Never want to be the drugs person
at the party and more of that on over promised
our bonus pod. So Rich, let's set this up and
let's get the phone calls going about Lebron too. Okay,
because it was a big game for the Lakers last night.
(16:21):
They won on a buzzer beater, Hachi Mora with the
three point buzzer beater, lots of excitement. Dude, I had
a double take. I didn't have my glasses on. I'm like,
is that Lebron jumping up and down like a little
school boy? Like I really couldn't tell, And I'm like,
oh my god, it was. It was really cool to see.
It was really cool to see how much he still cares,
(16:42):
how much it still means to him. I'll never question
his passion or his game in that way, but we
did question the streak we did, and I'm doubling down
on everything I said leading up to it. Interestingly enough,
before that game last night, we posted a clip on
social media from our show the day before, and we
(17:04):
had debated Wednesday show. We had debated Lebron James and
how in some of that garbage time at the end
of a loss to the Suns, Lebron was out there
and it's clear it was to keep the double digit
streak alive. It felt that way, and my take was
during garbage time, you know what, it's garbage time. I
have no problem with Lebron keeping that streak. And then
(17:25):
Cavino said, well, it just leans into his mebron selfish.
You know, given haters ammunition. People need to understand too.
I'm not coming from a hateful place, not hating, just
stating if people could see that he's not playing defense
and he's only there to score to ten points, it's
going to give ammunition to those people that want to
talk about Lebron James. And my point was, dude, let
(17:47):
it go. Let's focus on wins and let it go.
It takes a lot of pressure off, a lot of
relief off this streak. And you know what, with Lebron's legacy,
while it is a cool streak, I don't think it's
I don't think it's going to change the way any
of us think of him if that ends or begins
or And that's why I said, like, just let it go,
because then they could focus on other things like Lebron
(18:09):
dishing off and let these other dudes shine because that's
the chemistry that's working for the team. Right now, And
that's exactly what happened the very next day and within
twenty four hours of us doing this in plus in
the clip, Lebron scores eight and instead of going for
the game winning shot on his own to get to
double digits, he dishes it off for the assist. And
(18:32):
by the way, I was premeditated too, because according to Hachimur,
he said that before the play, like it's going to you.
So so cool to see how it played out.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, lebron knew Austin Reeves would get doubled.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, yeah, it was so cool that he had the
foresight to do that, and it all turned out that
he hit the shot, and what a perfect way to
end that streak. But there's so many levels to this
conversation that we got to open it up and go
deeper to what level One, If he takes the shot,
he's selfish, right right, Yeah, if he makes it, awesome,
(19:04):
but oh it's me Bron. If he dishes it off
and hot, you more misses. Lebron's scared to take the
last shot. You know, big game players take the shot. Water,
isn't you take the shot? So it's almost like Lebron's in.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
A no win, or he's selfish going to continue trying
to continue his right.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, either way, So he's either selfish because he takes
the shot and he's me Bron, or he dishes it
off and you know he's not a big game player
because he doesn't want to take the last shot. So
either way, it feels like he has Lebron and a
no win. And you know what, I'm not buying, though, Rich,
I'm not buying because after the game, obviously they talked
about it, and yeah, what does it mean to you?
Means nothing because we got the win, and I believe
(19:45):
that the win meant a lot. We saw his celebration.
It was a perfect way to end the streak. But
don't tell me after two thousand and seven and ninety
seven games with ten points or more, it doesn't mean anything.
Absolutely means something, But I think it was a perfect
time to let it go, in a perfect way to
let it go. dB, you got some thoughts on this,
(20:06):
because we're gonna ppen it up to some phone calls.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I think Lebron was so excited that they won on
his pass without Luka Doncic playing. Oh that's why I
think he was so excited. They won a game against
a good Toronto team, one of the better teams in
the East so far this season, doing it where he
was a part of the play and Luka Doncic, everybody's
new favorite, was not there to save the day for
(20:29):
the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
That's how I read it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's why I love chopping it up with you guys.
Honestly didn't even cross my mind. And I think that's
such a great yeah, that angle that i'm because he
was like really excited, Yes, you're right, he should be.
I'm like, damn, man, that's kind of crazy. So your thoughts.
And then there's of course the thought of we were
just talking about this on Wednesday. We posted a clip
(20:53):
about it yesterday, and then there's a lot of feedback
of like, your clip aged poorly, and I get that
sent to me. I don't at all, though I understand
I'm going to get that feedback, but did it really
We pointed it out and it ended the very next day.
You know, It's so funny. I asked my wife, because
my wife is quick to be like, yeah, you're wrong,
(21:14):
I go, babe, watch this clip. And then I explained
to her what happened with Lebron last night and she's like,
how did that age wrong at all? She's like, I
don't get it. You and Cavino debated what Lebron's you know,
what the take is, and it just coincidentally happened. If anything,
you could argue that you guys were on point with
a good conversation. Yeah, or I don't get she doesn't
(21:35):
not even understand how I was like, yeah, I don't
get it either. You know, the feedback will say like, yeah,
what do you got to say now, It's like, well,
I was never hating Anna.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I didn't think it aged it. I didn't think that
was the problem that when people comment this aged poorly.
I didn't think that was the case. I just thought
because the streak ended, maybe we could update it. But yeah,
the point was, the big point we were making was
stay in the flow of the game. Remember how I
talked about when we filled in for the Dan Patrick
Show and Lebron made his debut on the season and
(22:04):
he fit in perfectly that night, remember, and we were saying,
if he could find that role, that niche on the
team and just go with the flow and not force things,
this Laker team could go deep like.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
El Payeha said this video h poorly. I'm like, how,
but other people are hitting us up saying, Yo, it's
your fault, like laughing that we brought it up and
that's the day. But you knew what was gonna happen
because Lebron's role on this team, Danny, as you said,
it does seem like there's an emphasis to maybe take
a little bit of it back out the arthritis in
(22:36):
his foot, which is something else we got to talk about,
like some old guy injuries and things like that. So
your thoughts on Lebron's streak. It almost ended, like I said, perfectly,
What a perfect way to end it, dishing it off,
showing everybody that I'm not selfish. Luca wasn't there, Like
dB said, you know they won because I dished it off.
(22:57):
But I think it's also like foreshadowing of of what's
to come and how they're gonna win and the way
they should be playing moving forward. Lakers win one twenty three,
one twenty. But that's a streak that started when Bronni
James was just a little baby. Kim our buddy whyman
on the chat to the saying the chat is lit today.
(23:18):
Steban s Steban R said KD. I don't know if
this streue goes. KD is at like two hundred and
sixty seven. So for someone to match that streak, it's
a long long road ahead. For anyone to match that
streak of double digits, it's a pretty impressive thing. But
it was the perfect way to end it, right, Eighteen
years of ten points or more ended last night, the day,
(23:40):
the very day after we were talking about it. So
it almost felt like orchestrated in a way. I'm not
trying to say Lebron intentionally scoring under ten points to
take the heat off of them, but I think he
was okay with it on that day, like all right,
it's time.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
And I think it highlights his new role, yeah, on
his current team, and.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You know what, and I think he accepted that last night.
And it's a team that has the second best reference
record in the Western Conference. So so far, so good.

(30:07):
had a Lion's I'm Anross Saint Brown, Dan Campbell, Gop
sort of night a Lebron James Lakers sort tonight. But
there's an update with Lebron. Yeah, And I do think
he ended that streak perfectly, even though he lied about it.
I think he cared about the streak. Come on, you
can't have a streak it's beautiful for the majority of
(30:28):
your career since two thousand and seven and not care.
But it did end perfectly. Now they could focus on
the chemistry that works for that team, which is exactly
how it ended. Yesterday, Lakers announced that Lebron James has
been dealing with left foot joint arthritis. Left foot joint
arthritis in addition to his right sciatica. So he's doubtful
(30:48):
to play against the Celtics, unless, of course, dB has
an update that I don't know about yet.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Mike, Grandma has that.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, well that's perfect funny would say that because now
we're gonna talk about old guy injuries and old guy
things like that. Date you Because Rich just had the
black liquorice and he said it was his favorite one.
I said, I must Does that mean I'm getting old?
Because I had the black liquorice and I was like,
this is pretty good. It's like beer barrels, Like you
(31:14):
remember Grandpa would eat root beer barrels. Maybe I'm a
sucker for a good root. The old guy Grandpa can
age Davis. Maybe I'm you know who else loves him?
Pee wee Herman, look it up. He puts a little
strong and he puts a little strong on them. Pee wee.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I'll tell you what when it comes to little things
where you're like, oh man, this feels like an old
guy thing about a year and a half ago, two
years ago, what else do you like? Rich? Ribbon candy?
No I sassafras soda. I came in here a couple
of years ago and luckily I'm all good now. But
I remember telling you, guys. I'm like, guys, I have
plantar fasci itis. My foot was hurting, and I'm like
(31:56):
I need Like, uh, that's not something you want to
say with like hot chicks are around, I know. I
was like, I I have to put aside like nice
sneakers that I'm like, guys, I need like a really
good supportive pair of sneakers. And I was like, do
I have to buy like Brooks or so what are
they hocus Like, I remember having a foot issue and
I was like, oh, man, is this what happens when
you're forty and Lebron is you know, his injury reporter
(32:19):
helped those nads work. His injury report is starting to
sound like ailments your forty something the year old buddies have,
so just you know, it's it's amazing what he's doing
when you think about the reality of how old Lebron
he has the luxury of in Austin Reeves, who's playing
like a superstar right hitting shots like crazy shots off
the glass that aren't even supposed to go in there
(32:41):
going in. So I think he needs to lean into
the fact that they don't need him to play that much,
and they don't need you know, the Lebron were used
to and he could rely on those dudes, and I
think that could work. But you're right, it sounds like
an old guy thing. And he said it like, hey man,
it's just because I'm getting old. I think the one
(33:01):
word that if you say, I don't care if it's
Lebron James or you know, a legendary veteran quarterback, if
it's Matthew Stafford or anyone a little older. When you
say the word arthritis, I think of my grandma. I
really do. I think of my grandma. They're reaching my
ar right is yeah. But you know what, people on
their phones all the time with tech neck and type
(33:23):
and all the time their hands are getting sore. Numb
thumb younger, Yeah, numb thumb. Younger people are experiencing this stuff.
So I want you to start thinking about this, and
we're gonna go to Dan Bayer. What are some ailments
or references or black liquorice sort of things that are
dead giveaways that you're older. Right If someone says, oh,
(33:43):
if someone says something about their authright is you automatically
know they're probably older than me. One of those dead giveaways.
We'll talk about them. Let's go to Dan Byer Live.
Put my numb thumb in the jelly. I heard you
ordered around a boost for everybody less night at the
company party, one for everybody. Did you say Lebron was doubtful?
Is that what you said? Cavino? What were you saying?
(34:04):
That's what I said. Cording to Bleach report, Y, yeah,
earlier today, good because I can update it. He's out.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
He's not going to play tonight, so he has been
ruled out. In fact, head coach JJ Reddick said that
there's a possibility Luka Doncic could return Sunday when they
face the seventy six Ers. No Luca tonight either, as
the Lakers have faced the Celtics. NFL news no Kyler
Murray for the rest of the season, quarterback being ruled
out because of his foot injury. Cardinals wide receiver Marvin
(34:30):
Harrison Junior is going to miss some of this game
against the Rams because of his heel injury. Commander's quarterback
Jayden Daniels he is off the injury report and good
to go. He will start coming up against the Vikings
coming up in week fourteen. That's kind of a game
that's completely lost, but of two quarterbacks that are you know,
McCarthy trying to come back and Daniels could have been
(34:52):
a lot worse with.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
The quarterbacking, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Absolutely, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson practice today and will start
against Pittsburgh. Bengals tight end t Higgins going to face
the Bills after clearing concussion protocol. Defensive Entray Hendrickson is out.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said now the wide receiver
Mike Evans or Jalen McMillan will play against the Saints
on Sunday despite practicing this week. Last night, the Lions
lost Brian Branch for the season because of a torn achilles.
(35:17):
Suffered that injury in that contest against the Dallas Cowboys.
Penn State on the verge of hiring Iowa States Matt
Campbell to be their head coach, and the World Cup
final draw was announced today. The United States will be
playing in Group D and they will be playing with Paraguay,
Australia and the winner of a European playoff that will
(35:38):
be decided at the end of the month. Sesame Street
helped raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate
this holiday season at sesame dot org because the world
needs Sesame and Sesame needs you US. Will play their
match against Paraguay in Los Angeles on Friday June twelfth.
They'll have another match in La on June twenty fifth.
That's a Thursday against the winner of the European playoff
Friday June nineteenth in Seattle against the Aufse's to.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
You, Thank you dB. Now Fox Sports Radio Nation again,
start thinking, what are those ailments? What are those references?
Those things that people talk about that are dead giveaways
that they're older than you? All right, start thinking about
eight seven seven ninety nine On Fox Plus, we're gonna
go with some of the mean, amazing matchups we've got
in the NFL. Plus will do big TV Game of
the Week and we'll play brain Wave giveaway some prizes.
(36:21):
So really fun hour coming. So hang tight more Coveno
and Rich next, Ching It It Ching the Italian Christmas
Donkeyda la la la la la la la la la
(36:43):
la la la la la la la la Shout out
to all my pythons. Oh I hope you get that
gabba ghul in your stocking. I hope you get a
donkey sweet slice of Pantone for your Chrisms party. Anyway,
We're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. The Hew's of It. Lee. Yes,
(37:06):
hard for me to concentrate with this Christmas class I've
never heard this before until it is great. It's the
story of Dominic the Donkey Iowa, Sam, Can I tell
you I was saying Christmas Donky before we were here
at Fox Sports Radio, CIVI you know, and I you
know some people know. We were at Serrius XM for years, right,
we would play that song around Christmas, and much like
here at Fox Sports Radio where we're on random parts
(37:27):
of the country, around the whole world. Some cities that
is the most popular song. Other people like never heard it. Yeah,
my girlfriend's from Idaho, never heard of it, heard of
them now It's her favorite song for real. When I
tell you, I was saying, in New York, they play
that song every hour on the hour, on like on
multiple radio stations. Yeah. Now, the region we grew up on,
(37:49):
the East Coast a bunch of batcha gloops. So anyway,
Covino and Rich out here on the West Side line
from the Fox Sports Radio Studio, Happy Holidays, is time
for our tire rect play of the day. Lebron made
the right play instead of going for his record double
digit streak.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Just make sure you get the last shot in regular weirds.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
There it goes roots to Jones chick it corner growing
to win the game, and James gave him the basketball.
I love hello and James gave him the basketball. The
assist was as impressive as the shot. Lakers win buzzer
(38:31):
beater over the Raptors one twenty three, one twenty courtesy
of Lakers Television from Spectrum Sportsnet. And that's our tire
Raq Play of the Day. For over forty years, Tirak
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free back
by free Road has the protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation Tirack dot Comoy tire buying should
(38:51):
be And you know, as I heard that call, and
you know we saw it, and we saw Lebron freaking
out in excitement. The whole team was super pumped, lots
of chest pumps. That's sort of how we end every
good show here at Fox Sports Radio. If he didn't
hit that shot, then Lebron just ends the streak and
it's weak. I know the fact that he hit, that
(39:14):
he made that perfect pass and that he hit the
shot is what made it awesome. It's imperfect ending. It's
indicative of the new, unselfish team play of Lebron James
at this stage of his career, you know what. So
good for him. He had a shot, so he made
the ending of the streak perfect and poetic, and they
get the W.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
So it really was awesome. I love the three pointers
from Really Too. They're almost like line drives, like smooth
line drives, the opposite of the rainbow from Jamal Clawford
back in the day.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Now two quick thoughts. Number one, I'm still thinking about
Dominic to Donkey. You know why Santon needs Dominic to Donkey?
I was sam because Rudolph don't Rudolph can't climb the
hills of it to Lee, come on, don't they fly?
Are you ruining the song? Don't bring your logic into
(40:05):
this Christmas classic. Don't be Matt Rife. So my other
thought was, if you're in Boston tonight, I'm sure it
might be snowy. My mom and brother in Maryland and
my sister in New York. Bolt said, snowy, very very
you know, cold wintery weather on the East Coast. Imagine
you put on your big ass jacket, you bundle up
(40:26):
to go see the Celtics Lakers. No Lebron, no Luca.
I get it. You expect that. You got almost prepare
for that when you go to the NBA. Oh, that's
a major. When you go to an NBA game regular season,
it's a possibility. But Celtics Lakers historic rivalry, you show
up there with your kid, no Luca, no Lebron, It's
(40:47):
gotta be disappointing, right. It makes me think of the
Birthday Boy. This week, Rich's dad had tickets to see
Hugh Jackman in the lead of a play on Broadway,
and they found out Huge wasn't performing. It's like, oh,
I want a refund an he got. My dad's like,
I did not come to New York City. I want
to see the understand. Yeah, this is not what I
(41:07):
paid for. So my dad's like, I got it. You can.
By the way, you can get a refund if you
go to a Broadway show and the star is not there,
you can. Yeah, this could have been your chance to
see Lebron and Luca and it's not happening. But guess what,
You can't get your money back. All right, We got
more CNR next on Fox Sports Radio

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
