Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now, when it comes to team traditions, let's wrap this
and get into more NFL. Wemby on the Spurs after
this team continues to just find a way to be.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Your thoughts, what were your thoughts when you saw him
do this?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think it's cool as hell. You know me, I'm
a I'm a sucker for gimmicky stuff. I like it
Grimas on the Mets.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
That's the thing. But Grimace is corny and Timmy trumpets
was cool. It was and now the Dodgers got it right.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But when it comes to traditions, they got to start somewhere,
and at first it might feel forced. But I feel
like maybe everything feels that way at first a little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
So I said, you got to give it time to
really see.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I feel like it needs to be original too. This
is Skull, this is Vikings. I would like it more
if it was something we've never seen before. That would
be like if we did a new game for Covino
and Rich and it was a game that was on
the show right before us, and we're like, yeah, this
is our new tradition, this new game. I don't think
our listeners would take it the same way as if
(02:12):
it was original, like Last One Standing or Brainwave or
the original games we do have that you don't hear
anywhere else, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm reading the feedback, Danny G and people are agreeing
with that sentiment. But for instance, when I mean, is
is skull with the horn? I was saying, hit you,
it's a Minnesota horn and the clap is that I mean?
Is that like so original? That like if the if
Wemby and the Spurs clap, we we can't do that.
(02:43):
Listen to Wemby last night again and I thought, this
is cool.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They find a way to beat Oklahoma City, which seems
like no one else could do, which I think is
so good for the NBA, Danny, because.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
What was the feeling we had a week ago?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Man, Okay see seems unbeatable in a seven game series
against the Spurs. It seems like that could be a
battle that we look forward to in five months from now.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Listen to Wemby.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
I would like with my teammates do in a new
tradition that we've.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Been working on with the Johns over there, so believes
everybody arms up in the air is pread your arms.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Everybody's pretty your arms. Yeah, just like.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Wemby is like a club EMC. Like I said, I
respect the leaders.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I think it's cool. But then I'll say.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
This Rich, it's better than no vibe, right, I mean,
you have to try to create a vibe, and it's
better than nothing. But he asked the question. My honest
answer is you got to give it some time to see.
When you see it start, it feels a little forced,
but I guess that's how every tradition happens, although I
do feel that there's more of an organic route at times.
(04:02):
And just because I think it's corny doesn't mean that
it won't work. Like I think the hip flexer thing
that the Dodgers do is corny as hell. And they
are likable team. They're likable and I love them, But
them doing their little goofy dance on second base is
goofy to me. But but hey, but do you like
win a World Series? Are they playing.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Like the bumping of the jockstraps better.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Than that's my kind of tradition. Comuno does that all
the time. Now, that's cool.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
He's not even on the team. But see that's how
I agree. Iowa Sam every Monday.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't like, true, I don't like the Dodgers, but
how do you not think that that's sort of like
a fun thing, Like they're so good they get on
second base a little.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
It's fun, I guess, but it does feel a little goofy.
Now you don't feel like some of those players are a
little too cool to be doing that.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But it works for that question, So it doesn't matter.
Question is corny and.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It works if Freddy Freeman most winning makes it cool.
So that's really I guess the point here. If the
Spurs continue to win, guess what, But that becomes.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Cool if Freddy Muki and Otani do it. Yeah, Steve
Covino's the.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
One that thinks it's not cool.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's a little goof Hey, I'm a Yankees fan man,
and let me ask you the tradition the championships Yankees
call I like it. I think it's really cool. I
think it's a cool tradition. I thought when Mo Rivera
came out, cool tradition. It's just again, things that happen organically,
things that stick.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
That's the difference. Now, how do you make this cool?
Speaker 7 (05:31):
You win?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You keep on winning. You keep beating OKC and teams
that people say you can't beat. Props to Wemby, though,
that dude plays hard man. I watched all the highlights
last night.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So you think Yankees roll call is cool and everything
else is corny? Got hey? Hold on?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Did I not say when it comes to the Spurs
and most traditions cool to them, corny to everybody else.
You think I'm supposed to like other people's corny traditions. No,
seeing with your holiday traditions, you like what you do.
I'm not going to necessarily like everything other people do.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I get what you're saying, though, when something feels like, hey,
there's a bunch of people that probably want to open
up their presence tonight, and I'm like, why what are
we in England?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Why not? I why not till Christmas morning? Santa comes tomorrow?
When the when is?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Wait?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
In your half Mexican because a lot of Latino families
do Christmas.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Eve, yes, but I'm Mexican American, so maybe you get
like one president on Christmas Eve, but you wait until
Christmas morning. My point is, though, whatever you are used
to doing is what's okay and normal and cool to you.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You know what I used to think was cool back
in the day, maybe twenty years ago. I thought it
was a really cool idea when people would have a
Christmas like an ugly sweater party. And then what happened
was companies all started making ugly sweaters, which I think
took away.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
What was cool about the idea of an ugly sweater.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Like Robert Herzeveak and his tipsy elves like in an
ugly sweater.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The whole cool part about it used to be like, Yo,
your aunt actually bought that sweater and it's ugly as hell.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
You had to find your uncle Bart's sweater and it
smelled like cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh my god, do you know anyone that has like
an old ass sweater? That's hideous? But then you start
making ugly sweaters, then it seems forced. I get the
forced nature of what you're saying. So authenticity, I think
is the word too. Does it feel authentic?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You know?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And that's the difference, That's what that's what goes off
and makes you feel a little corny. Hey, where did.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
This come from?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
The thing like he just came up with it. But
what's the significance. Is there any sort of tie in
with the San Antonio Spurs. I don't know what you're
talking about, That's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Like, is there some sort of cultural significance, regional significance, Like.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
What is does it mean anything? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Bro to people in Green Bay, Wisconsin like to Leap
when they talk about the Lord's Leaping and that song
that they talk about, they talking about people.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
In Green Bay, Like, I mean, uh, I'm just wondering, honestly,
I'm wondering what the context is or is this something
I just farted out and thought of in his sleep.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I'm reading right now that this Viking clap had a
lot of success during the euro Cup in twenty sixteen,
and because he's a French professional basketball player better than
the vuvuzela, I guess yeah, so I think that's why
it's part of part of his repertoire.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
But it's just I don't know that.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
You look in the comments last night and this morning,
and all the Vikings fans are in there, like rip off,
you're biting off of us.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Hey, and seriously, Rich, I'm not. I don't want to
hate on Wemby or the Spurs. I actually like him
a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I'm just telling you right now.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
My first instinct this But like I said, like a song,
there's some songs that I don't like at first and
then they get to me. Hey, Christmas Rappings. The first
time I heard that song, Well, this is the worst
Christmas I ever heard. It's my favorite song right now,
my favorite Christmas song of all time.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You forgot Cranberry's too.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah, the waitresses Christmas Rappings. I was like, who are
these whole home women singing about Christmas time?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
It's the worst song I ever heard? Ah humbug and
that's what's sound Yeah uh man man man. And I
was like, this song is terrible. Guess what? Love it now?
It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Marry Christmas, Mary Christmins d d DN. So things take
time to build. If the fans get behind it and
they continue to win, it doesn't matter what any of
us think. It doesn't matter what I think, It doesn't
matter what anyone thinks, it will be cool to them.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
What about when the Cubs throw back a home run?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Cool?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I like it. Get your stupid home run out of here.
I love it.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
They take me out to the ball game, seventh inning stretch,
love it tradition. But like you always say rich. Sometimes
tradition is making the same mistake over and over.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I love the Mets that they play Lazy Mary during
the seventh inning stretch gets everyone pump.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
No no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I like that too, Ye yeah, I think I think
it is pretty cool when the grounds crew does the YMCA.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I love when there's some regional cultural tradition when they
play Sinatra in New York, New York at the end
of a win.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
I think that's great.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Like, That's why I asked the significance, Like is there
some sort of tie in with San Antonio? Like was
this some sort of battle drum that they fought with
back in the day.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
I don't know what it is, So go ahead, Sam, Oh,
I have a question for you guys. I mean Greg Popovich,
who's still with the organization. He's not the head coach anymore,
but he won five titles between nineteen ninety nine and
twenty fourteen. You think during that championship culture and run
you would develop some traditions. I mean, I'm not that
familiar with Spurs basketball, but you win five titles in
fifteen years, shouldn't you have some trade points?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Sam? You could?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
You should say that they should have one when they
had this sweet run, Like, how did they not that?
Maybe that's what they were lacking a little personality, so.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Maybe big time look at it. Who was the face
of their organization during a lot of that run.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Timmy Duncan. Yeah, no nonsense, winning champion, just a just
a great ballplayer.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Let me let me hit you with one more and
then well we can move on.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Like, you know, it happens in our lifetime when they
change stadiums and looks and gimmicks and everything. What about
when the Seahawks who went from you know, the old
school Steve Large and Kingdome Seahawks of our childhood to
you know, becoming the twelfth Man and they raised the flag?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Is that cool deal? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Absolutely superp Well, hey, your thoughts at Covine on rich
and uh not all traditions are corny. Let us know
what your favorite traditions are in sports, because Wemby's trying
to start a new one in San Antonio. And you
know what, I think it's pretty cool for San Antonio,
which is a great city, great basketball city, that they
had all that success they competed, you know, because they
(11:55):
never went back to back there's a sense that they
don't get the respect they should with the Lakers and
some of the other dynasties and the Bulls and the
you know, the heat for a minute.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Like the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No one talks about the Spurs because again, never back
to back, but a great basketball city and they're right
there again because of Wemby Fox and some of these
young great players.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah, props to these young guys making a difference. And
speaking of young players, man Cooper flag lighting it up yesterday,
Anthony Edward's playing big. Just cool to see these young
dudes taking over the NBA. And I do want to
say one last thing. I don't want to be hard
on Wenby. Actually root for the guy. I like watching
him play, and I think it's it takes a lot
of Kojones to get out there in front of, you know,
(12:41):
forty thousand people and try to get everyone to play
along and try to make something happen. So corny or not,
I give them credit for that. I think that's a
bolt sort of move.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Danny g phones are lit. Who do you want to
talk to?
Speaker 10 (12:53):
Will?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We'll talk to some peeps and then we'll talk a
little tradition because that's a funny story involving my Steve Cavino,
and it has to do with whether or not old
school movies and old school sports translate.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Now let's start in Greenville, South Carolina. Rocky wants to
weigh in on traditions.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Absolutely, what's up, rock.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Hello, good morning, Good morning Rocky, Good morning, Merry Christmas.
See you guys.
Speaker 11 (13:22):
I've never caught your show.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I listened to you here and there. Unfortunately here in Greenville, Uh,
we have local shows that you guys aren't on the
air here, but.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
You could always share us on the iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, man, I do, and I have that, so I've
done that. But on the Lambeau Leap and I'm in legal,
South Carolina. I am a South Carolina Gamecock fan. And
on the Lambeau Leape, I look and and we had
a receiver at South Carolina by the name of Robert
Brooks and who played for Green Bay. Now Leroy Butler
(13:59):
was the first one ever do it.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
It was on the.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Return tumble of some kind and he was the first
one to do it. But actually Robert Brooks popularized it
in Green Bay when he was there. Every time he
scored a touchdown, he did it, and that's kind of
what kick started it and got it going.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That's cool, man, that's like, that's a bragging right.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The more people should know that fun fact, like how
it was Dusty Baker who was the first to high
five someone ever like to me that those little fun
facts a while. To me, that like it should become
a knowledge. Who the first lambeau leaper was.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I think Dusty Baker was on the receiving end, the
receiving end of the first time.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It was Glenn Burke. It was Glenn Burke who they
said was how do I say this on the Dan
Patrick Show? A little zesty, right, and he got a
lot of flak for.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
A lot to say he was gay.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I mean, yeah, no, it's true. That's the story and
I didn't I didn't write it. That is the story.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
So you're saying the high five is uh is esty?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
No, But you know, Dusty Baker's side of it was
like he didn't know what to do, so he threw
his hand up and it became a thing. And it's
almost it almost feels impossible, like wait, so that they
were the first people to do the high five, that's
that's just a wild thought.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Who were the first two players to jump up and
you know, bump against each other.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Wasn't it Marcus Allen on Tech Mobile. No, but you're right,
that isn't question.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm trying to think, like, who do you in the
who do you picture in the NBA after like a
you know, like a big three pointer jumping up and
like essentially like bumping sides.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Like it's a good question.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
That is a good question. No one gets question from
the nineties, No one gets credit for that. Who else
we got Danny g Let's.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Go to Vegas, the Homie Trip, No trip?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
What's up, Buddy, Mary trips Bud.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
Hey, good morning. I just wanted to call in and
say Mary Christmas to you guys, and it's always pleasure
to uh to speak with y'all and listen to y'all.
And then I had a question, uh for tradition, who
was the first person? I don't know the answer. I
know y'all can find out who was the first person
to flash the three time after hit the three pointer?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
One NBA celebration though that I don't know that at
the time, nobody was doing it. When D'Angelo Russell was
a youngster on the Lakers. He was the first to
do the the ice like the ice ve ice in
my veins.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, I mean the ice in my veins is a
big one. That's cool. Yeah, I thought that was cool.
You know what, We're never going to know the answer,
so you could argue, well, why bring it up.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Then, But you know what, there was the first person
that did anything really in life. I know, this is
like a really deep I'm not high, I promise you. Yeah,
there was someone that did anything for the first time.
You know, there was a there was an NFL player.
We will never be able to pay pointed, but there
was an NFL player that was the first to be
like first down and they like pointed like first thing,
(17:06):
like like did the little like you know, like George Kittle.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Now obviously wasn't that Al Bundy at paulk High School?
I think he started the wait is that did you?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
That might be true?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah yeah, but now I just picture Kittle doing his
little like they're emulating the official, but they're kind of
adding a little pizzaz. Yeah, but like, who is the
first player to mimic the referee with like pizzazz, like
doing their little first down?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Was Jim Brown maybe or something otherwise.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
The first person to shout Kobe when they threw trash
into a trash can.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Might have been you, Danny, wasn't it you?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And the no?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I learned that from somebody I don't know who, but
every day in our studio, you hear all the shows.
I hear Covey and a lot of papers flying into
the can.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Yeah. That amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
So yeah, but that's something that happened organically, right, So
it's just like, wow, that's kind of cool. How that
just became a thing. That's the difference, just became a thing.
We all witnessed how it became a thing and how
it's trying to become a thing.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Last night is.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Michael Jordan the answer for who is the first person
to shoot a jump shot? Nothing but the bottom of
the that and you leave the hand up like you
leave the hand hanging.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Maybe drug for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Jordan's still shrugg now the shrug, but that was because
he was just on fire.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I'm not talking the tdrug. I'm talking about people emulate that.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm saying, like leaving leaving it up there, like after
the after the after your shot, just leaving your hand
up there.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Because you know your mechanics are so perfect. Was it Jordan?
There's some there's someone that did everything.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Was Steph Curry? Was it cry.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Definitely? Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
So it's about being original, Danny g You hit that
point before too.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
That's part of.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
It has to be original. But winning could make it
cool the end, We'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It'll be fun. We'll look back and be like, yeah,
remember when they try to do that thing catch.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
On Mets in eighty six, most notably for the curtain
call after a big home run or something like, you know,
coming out of the dugout waving to the fans. I
was considered very arrogant, but that was very like eighties Mets.
I'm thinking batflip. Who is the first because now it's everyone,
but we always think Joey Bautista.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But I don't know if that was the first, like
it was me in eighty eight Little League bro nineteen
eighty eight.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
When you hit your twenty fourth home run in one season.
That was after I hit my twelfth of the season. Yeah,
I remember after my first season.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Because as you know, baseball is all about like the
unrootten rules of like you know, like sportsmanship, so there
was one person that went against the grain and said.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
F that I'm gonna flip my back back.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
It was probably somebody flashy, like a Ricky Henderson or
Kenny Lofton.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
You know. Maybe they were the guys who sort of
played bet.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Ricky first to do like the snap catch, right, like
anytime you catch a fly ball and you snapped the
glove down.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Yeah, but that's why they're legends. A originality, man, that's
a big part of it. Danny g made a really
good point.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Every time you.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Flip a shortstop, was it you were Ozzie smith Ozzie smith.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Man, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
And I feel like that's one of the things that
the spurs new tradition lacks. But they can make it
their own. They can make it their own. We'll see
what happens. It takes a little time. Now, Rich speaking
of traditions, I want to set this up and just
say that around the holidays, watching a good holiday classic starts.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
To become a tradition, right, like a Christmas story.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
It plays so often that there is rarely a year
that you probably don't see that movie. Everyone has to
see it, right, Maybe you don't sit through the whole
thing but you see it. But at one point it
was probably a tradition before you got sick of it.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, there's the same movies you watch every year with
the kids or the family, Like I know the Frosties
and the Rudolph claymation, and you know Elf and Home Alone.
This trie Charlie Brown. Yeah, Charlie Brown. Every I kick
off the Christmas season. I was always watch Love Actually
on Thanksgiving night.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Trash.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't even want to fight about that to uh
feeling too fastive rich to fight you on how trash
that movie is. But growing up, you fight me on
a movie that's on every list of the greatest holiday
movies just because you don't like it. It's a week movie, dude.
I challenge anybody to watch that weak ass movie Love Actually.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
It's trash's trash, trash. I looat you and I think trash.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
That's I mean, you can say it all you want,
it's false. So how do you say I'm gonna I'm
gonna start.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Up with this.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
How do you say it's a Christmas movie when there's
a whole porn plot line. Geez, a porn scene? Is
that fun for the family? Are the kiddies love that scene.
I think I love, you think love? Actually you think porn.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I mean it's in the movie. Is I mean like
one ten second scene. It's in the movie.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
If you have to cover a kid's eyes and Grandma
gets up because she feels awkward. It's not a Christmas movie.
It's trash so and it's not even good. It's not
It's like, okay, at best, it's the most overhyped Christmas movie.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
Al Right.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
So Cavino has a theory on whether.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Or not classics stand the test of time and an
experiment he did with a holiday classic, and then we'll
tie that into sports because when you show people old
sports stuff, there's a theory. We got so that and
a lot of people hitting us up with NFL calls
because I mean, here, we are about to enter week seventeen,
(22:28):
and we got three games on Christmas Day tomorrow, so
a lot of NFL will go a little throwback with
the Christmas classics.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
So what else do you want to get to.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Cavino, well' tis this season to give, and we want
to give something to you.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Dan Patrick.

here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. What what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Were interrupting our promo? Yeah, you wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yee, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Merry Christmas Eve from our C and R on FSR
family to yours in for the great Dan Patrick. By
the way, we're also in for Dan Patrick next Monday
and Tuesday are segmented Dan Patrick.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Patrick, thanks for the warning.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, so everybody be warned.
Speaker 5 (24:12):

Speaker 2 (24:38):
You know what people will say, Oh, they really want
a white Christmas. You know what no one says, Yeah,
we all like a wet, rainy Christmas, soggy, clustering, soggy Christmas.
And by the way, as we look at the three
games for Christmas Day tomorrow, some of them such high
hopes early on, like the NFL does a great job
(24:59):
of some how like they just strike gold like they're
a sourdough Sam the forty nine ers of mascot. They're
striking gold constantly with like yo, this matchup and the
games that they get in primetime are awesome.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
But Christmas Day just didn't work out the way they thought.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The Chiefs didn't deliver on their end of the deal
where it's broncos A Chiefs. Chiefs are done, Lions and
Vikings both out of the playoff mix, and the Commanders,
you know, laid an egg after a great season last
year and the Cowboys came up short.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
So no Rob yep.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
So doesn't it still feel like an NBA day to you?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Anyways?
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Though to me Thanksgiving football and Christmas Day basketball?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I agreed, but I feel like the NFL is trying
to hijack.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I mean, I think they have Chris forday and hijack.
But like you said, with the bad games, this is
a chance for the NBA to take their rightful throne.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Curious how the ratings will be, Well, we'll see because
these are three irrelevant NFL games, So the question will
be does an irrelevant NFL game still dominate the NBA
and rating? So we'll see tomorrow. Merry Christmas, Danny g.
We're gonna do Mike's words wisdom.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
In a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
We'll talk some more NFL. But you want to take
a couple of quick phone calls. I know people have
been on hold. Let's say, how to Jay in Delaware.
He just want to talk about strength of schedule, which
is something we talked about last hour.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Really quick, Rich, just so the phone stop ringing about this.
Ryan and Cincy and several others called in, citing the
Chappelle Show two thousand and four for pioneering the Kobe.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Do you remember the skit?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Rashida Jones is famously in it, and Kobe, the fake Kobe,
makes her sign a contract.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Listen, don't tell anybody about this.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
From the makers of the love contract comes the confidentiality.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Don't worry. I'm not gonna tell anybody. I know you won't.
We'll sue you.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Is Kobe, and that's where he shoots the condom into
the wastebasket.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Was that the origin or did that popularize something?
Speaker 6 (27:05):
As popularized something? I think maybe we were always saying
I see, I don't know, but that's what made That's
what blew it up.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
I put it into our lexicon.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Sometimes something's been around, but a pop culture moment really
enhances it. Like Cavino and I've argued for years that
I said the term milf was from American pie, and.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Cavino's like, you think they invented that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I'm like, maybe they didn't invent it, But because the
popularity of American pie right around the turn of the century,
you know, milf became a word.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
We also a new no.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I mean, man, I was claiming, like man I, me
and my high school friends used to say milf. It existed,
So oh, I'll give you an Maybe a popularized it, though
for sure we've argued.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
We've been on like a Fox Sports radio business trip
and when we're meeting for breakfast, you know, I'll knock
on Covino's door housekeeping and I'm like, yo, Tommy Boy,
and he's like, you think Tommy Boy invented that.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I'm like, no, but the idea my dad would do
that when I was a kid. That's my point.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
So there's a difference between the origin and what popularized it.
So Chappelle did he create that, did he make that,
or did he popularize it? I don't know, but traditions. Hey,
I'm not hating on the spurs. Okay, it takes time
to develop, a time to build.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Now, let me ask you this, he said, Chappelle, did
you watch any special? I did. Yeah, he's a good storyteller.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Chappelle.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think has gone to like he's less punchliney and
he's just more of like an amazing storyteller that tells
funny stories. It's it's like the evolution like Sebastian Man
of Scalco to me, is now like a super physical comic.
Totally is in that lane now, and I think Dave.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Has like a caricature of himself, you know, highly animated.
He really leans into the physical stuff and it works.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Chappelle seems like less of a comedian and more of
like a generational like orator where he just grabs the
mic and you just want to hear what he has.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
He's a social commentary. He's doing like a he's like
a young.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Head talk like a younger black George burns Now the
way he's smoking on stage, telling stories about how he's
buying his whole town.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, I'll be honest, it's like oddly distracting how he
just doesn't stop smoking a special. All right, let's say
hi to Jane and Delaware one NFL question, then we'll
give away a prize here on Fox Sports Trading. What's up, Jack,
you men, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
Buddy, Marry Christmas. While I was on hold, you guys,
I just real quick out Christmas movie tradition. But my kids,
we are the two movies that we always watch for
the Elf and the Muppets Christmas Carol.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
The Muppets Christmas Carol.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
When they do Marlee and Marlee. My kids love that craft.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
I love that one.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
That's a good one, dude, That's definitely a good one.
You know what I realized the other day, there's the
biggest jerk.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
You know what. Let me save it. My adds blazing.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Let's talk strength of schedule, Jay, what you got man? Uh?
Speaker 12 (30:00):
So, the two teams in there that I trust the
most out of those five, i'd say, are the Patriots.
They've won, you know, they're undefeated on the road, and
they finished their games. You know. They They've lost to
the Raiders of course in the beginning of the season,
but that's that was the beginning of the season. But
the Niners has brought back five and zero, and they're
putting away teams. You know, the last five games they've
(30:20):
one by two scores, They've scored on twenty three straight
Borders Hunter hasn't punted since November. Those are the two
teams that I trust the most of those bottom five, like,
even though their strength of schedule blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
As a Niners fan, I'm not going to argue that point.
But we earlier talked about the five teams that have
had the weakest strength of schedule this year are all
playoff bound teams Niners, Chargers, Bears, Broncos, and the easiest
schedule the Patriots had them, and you got to ask
yourself the strength of schedule matter much.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
We decided he made a.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Good point, and I did say that. I did say,
you know, it's also how you win. Yeah, you may
be playing weaker teams, but how did you beat them?
Did you clobber them?
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
That makes it different. Yeah, I think it's a great point.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know what a lot of those teams have in common,
and you could say this about a lot of playoff teams,
but I look at those five teams with the weakest schedule.
Danny g as arguably having five of the best coaches
in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Listen to those teams.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, Kyle Shanahan, Jim Harbaugh, Ben Johnson, Sean Payton, and
Mike Rabel. Those are hell hell of good coaches that
have their teams headed to the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
So yeah, Covino said it in the first hour that
they all have good fundamentals and this is strength of
schedule during this season, not prior to it. So some
of these teams look good on paper going into the year.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
All right, let's do this, Let's play a game, giveaway
a prize. We'll come back, we'll talk more NFL and
I have a more dumb fearies about holiday movies and sports,
so we'll get to all that. But we do it
every week on Covino and Rich as we film for
Dan Patrick. There's a guy around here at Fox Sports Radio.
His name is Mike Big, Mike Whit.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
He looks like a stone called Steve Austin. He looks
like Rick from Pond Stars.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And when we first met him, he just came with
a vibe that we thought he ran this place. And
it's very clear everyone around here was quick to say no, No,
this guy does not run this place, but we call
him Mike that runs this place, and he has words
of wisdom. Take it away, Sam, it's time for the
guy then runs this place.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
He is not in charge of everything.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
He has no power over really anybody here.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
He does not run this place.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And I think that's a sentiment in a lot of
offices where there's someone that appears to have a power
and you realized they really don't.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
I never told you guys this story before, but since
Mike's not in the building, uh before, we play his
actual words of wisdom here. When I was running the
OutKick the Coverage program on this network, Mike got into
it a little bit with me one morning because he
wanted something done fast, and he raised his voice and
I said, Mike, you're not my supervisor and he's like, well,
(33:05):
I'm going to email your supervisor then, and I say,
he's just.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
He's just the visor.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Yeah, And you know what, I think super Death's super
about him.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Really.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
At the end of the shift, he came up to
me and He's like, I'm sorry for raising my voice.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
I'm like, Mike, you don't run anything here.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
But I yeah. But you know what, we really love Mike.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
He's awesome.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Yeah, you give him the credit that he deserves.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
He's a big teddy bear. He's one of those kind
of guys.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Let's hear his words of wisdom and it's very simple.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Guys, repeat it word for word and you want to
price eight seven, seven nine nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Eight seven to seven nine nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Listen to Mike's words of wisdom.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
May your Christmas be bright, your turkey be moist, and
your gifts be returnable. Merry Christmas, everybody.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
For batim, Dan Patrick Nation verbatim. That's how the game works.
Oh simple, I like it.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Where do they need to say the Merry Christmas?
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Point?
Speaker 9 (33:58):
Yeah, I thinks, oh yeah yeah. Even if you don't celebrate,
it's part of everything. In verbatim, it's verbatim. You want
to play, you win one last time?
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, give it one one more time.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
May your Christmas be bright, your turkey be moist, and
your gifts be returnable. Mary Christmas, everybody.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
It's pretty good. One man, Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 2 (34:21):

Fox Win A, Coveno on Rich, Fox Sports Radio, NERF
Turbo Football.

We got midweek major, all the stories in sports and
pop culture, and of course a lot of NFL. As
we get to Week seventeen, some games of importance, some
meaningless games. With those meaningless games will also dictate draft order.

Christmas to man.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I got one random question before we get into some NFL.
We're gonna get to midweek Major Danny g Obviously if
you got kids, Santa comes tonight, brings goodies and gifts
for the kids and stockings.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
But the presents that.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Come from mom and dad and relatives. I ask, can
you know this yesterday? And my wife and I have
different traditions, you know, not of course Santa who comes tonight.
Little kiddos, do you put presents under the tree as
you get them and wrap them? Or is it like
Christmas morning? Parents and Santa gifts are all there at once.
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Well, we have a toddler, my first. You know I
have stepkids, but this is my first kid. He's two.
We can't have anything under that tree because as it is,
he already pulls all the ornaments down off that tree.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Can you imagine the tree has ornaments all on the
high part of the tree, in the bottom is empty.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
Dude, he throws whiffleballs into the tree. He's got all
his toys thrown into the tree. If there were anything,
he calls him a prize or a surprise. He's like, surprise,
a surprise. If there was any rap gift under there,
he would have it torn open in a minute.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
You realize when you get married. He takes away from
the reveal. I'm sorry to state the obvious here, but
the only presents that were really under the tree were
like Mom brought some presents home from the office because
someone gave or something, or maybe like the obvious gifts,
like hey, I bought something from the holiday boutique for dad,
so it's under the tree, you know, like the obvious ones,
(39:09):
like if you bought your mom or dad.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Something at like the Christmas fair at school.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Exactly, so like there were presents there, or maybe your
aunt came in. And I know it takes me from
the reveal of Santa's gifts on Christmas morning if.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
They're all out there already.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
I know.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
That Danny makes a point if you got little kids,
they'll rip things apart. But yeah, and pets, pets will too.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Everyone's got different traditions and that's sort of the fun
of you know, dating someone new and you get married,
you and your wife, you combine your traditions. But I
was always a Christmas Morning bam, like everything's there, and
you you know, you're like, oh my god, he came.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Chris, Sanna came out, and it's the presence for mom
and dad.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
My wife is a you know, Santa comes on Christmas Eve,
as you know kids, but my wife has the other
presents like already under the t and we're we're trying
that this year and it just feels weird. I'm like,
they're there like that then, like do you feel like
kids could shake a box and feel the presence and
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
It just shows that everyone's got.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
I like that.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
I like the idea of some gifts being under the
tree and then like it balloons outward and then when
Santa visits, then it's like a it's a it's a
smorgasboard of present.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Well, hopefully everyone has a great merry Christmas. Honestly a
special time of the year, especially if you got little kiddos.
Take it in because everyone will tell you these times
are are so fleeting, Right, you have a little pocket
a time where where that Christmas magic is there.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Right, I'm not trying to get all sentimental, Queen. You
don't have to start tearing up cards.
Speaker 6 (40:43):
Have man, you haven't cried like this since the Niners
lost in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Up, I've cried like this since the Mets lost lost
out to the Reds in the final Wildcard.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Christmas Darling.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I want to ask you about what happened last night
in Idaho because you told us yesterday on our afternoon show. Yeah,
that your girlfriend who's younger. No, you know you're not
a creepo, no creepy, but you know your girlfriend's a
good ten plus years younger than you. She's in she's
like thirtyish and her sisters, I believe, even younger. So
(41:20):
you're dealing with a bunch of people that are around thirty.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
The long story short, the lung short of it is,
we were talking about Christmas movies and like, we need
to watch one. I was like, you guys ever see
It's a Wonderful Life And they're like no. I'm like no,
none of them had seen it. Oh, like it's like
the Wizard of Oz of Christmas movies. And then they're like, oh,
we should watch it because Steve wants us to watch it.
(41:45):
I'm like, no, no, hold up, holdo, I don't want to
be responsible for you sitting here and you're thinking it's
a slow moving movie. It doesn't stand attest the time.
And now I'm the guy that vouched for it. I
didn't want all that pressure on me, and let's just say,
maybe not all things stand the test of time, right?
And does that translate as far as classic.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Sports moments as well?
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, because there's the theory Danny G and I have
and it's also based on the new l Way documentary
that's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
So I'll tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Sports movies standing the test of Time, plus Midweek Major
and a bunch more. Coveno on Rich Merry Christmas, filling

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now, when it comes to team traditions, let's wrap this
and get into more NFL. Wemby on the Spurs after
this team continues to just find a way to be.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Your thoughts, what were your thoughts when you saw him
do this?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think it's cool as hell. You know me, I'm
a I'm a sucker for gimmicky stuff. I like it
Grimas on the Mets.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
That's the thing. But Grimace is corny and Timmy trumpets
was cool. It was and now the Dodgers got it right.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But when it comes to traditions, they got to start somewhere,
and at first it might feel forced. But I feel
like maybe everything feels that way at first a little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
So I said, you got to give it time to
really see.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I feel like it needs to be original too. This
is Skull, this is Vikings. I would like it more
if it was something we've never seen before. That would
be like if we did a new game for Covino
and Rich and it was a game that was on
the show right before us, and we're like, yeah, this
is our new tradition, this new game. I don't think
our listeners would take it the same way as if
(02:12):
it was original, like Last One Standing or Brainwave or
the original games we do have that you don't hear
anywhere else, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm reading the feedback, Danny G and people are agreeing
with that sentiment. But for instance, when I mean, is
is skull with the horn? I was saying, hit you,
it's a Minnesota horn and the clap is that I mean?
Is that like so original? That like if the if
Wemby and the Spurs clap, we we can't do that.
(02:43):
Listen to Wemby last night again and I thought, this
is cool.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They find a way to beat Oklahoma City, which seems
like no one else could do, which I think is
so good for the NBA, Danny, because.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
What was the feeling we had a week ago?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Man, Okay see seems unbeatable in a seven game series
against the Spurs. It seems like that could be a
battle that we look forward to in five months from now.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Listen to Wemby.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
I would like with my teammates do in a new
tradition that we've.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Been working on with the Johns over there, so believes
everybody arms up in the air is pread your arms.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Everybody's pretty your arms. Yeah, just like.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Wemby is like a club EMC. Like I said, I
respect the leaders.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I think it's cool. But then I'll say.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
This Rich, it's better than no vibe, right, I mean,
you have to try to create a vibe, and it's
better than nothing. But he asked the question. My honest
answer is you got to give it some time to see.
When you see it start, it feels a little forced,
but I guess that's how every tradition happens, although I
do feel that there's more of an organic route at times.
(04:02):
And just because I think it's corny doesn't mean that
it won't work. Like I think the hip flexer thing
that the Dodgers do is corny as hell. And they
are likable team. They're likable and I love them, But
them doing their little goofy dance on second base is
goofy to me. But but hey, but do you like
win a World Series? Are they playing.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Like the bumping of the jockstraps better.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Than that's my kind of tradition. Comuno does that all
the time. Now, that's cool.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
He's not even on the team. But see that's how
I agree. Iowa Sam every Monday.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't like, true, I don't like the Dodgers, but
how do you not think that that's sort of like
a fun thing, Like they're so good they get on
second base a little.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
It's fun, I guess, but it does feel a little goofy.
Now you don't feel like some of those players are a
little too cool to be doing that.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But it works for that question, So it doesn't matter.
Question is corny and.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It works if Freddy Freeman most winning makes it cool.
So that's really I guess the point here. If the
Spurs continue to win, guess what, But that becomes.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Cool if Freddy Muki and Otani do it. Yeah, Steve
Covino's the.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
One that thinks it's not cool.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's a little goof Hey, I'm a Yankees fan man,
and let me ask you the tradition the championships Yankees
call I like it. I think it's really cool. I
think it's a cool tradition. I thought when Mo Rivera
came out, cool tradition. It's just again, things that happen organically,
things that stick.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
That's the difference. Now, how do you make this cool?
Speaker 7 (05:31):
You win?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You keep on winning. You keep beating OKC and teams
that people say you can't beat. Props to Wemby, though,
that dude plays hard man. I watched all the highlights
last night.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So you think Yankees roll call is cool and everything
else is corny? Got hey? Hold on?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Did I not say when it comes to the Spurs
and most traditions cool to them, corny to everybody else.
You think I'm supposed to like other people's corny traditions. No,
seeing with your holiday traditions, you like what you do.
I'm not going to necessarily like everything other people do.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I get what you're saying, though, when something feels like, hey,
there's a bunch of people that probably want to open
up their presence tonight, and I'm like, why what are
we in England?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Why not? I why not till Christmas morning? Santa comes tomorrow?
When the when is?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Wait?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
In your half Mexican because a lot of Latino families
do Christmas.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Eve, yes, but I'm Mexican American, so maybe you get
like one president on Christmas Eve, but you wait until
Christmas morning. My point is, though, whatever you are used
to doing is what's okay and normal and cool to you.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You know what I used to think was cool back
in the day, maybe twenty years ago. I thought it
was a really cool idea when people would have a
Christmas like an ugly sweater party. And then what happened
was companies all started making ugly sweaters, which I think
took away.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
What was cool about the idea of an ugly sweater.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Like Robert Herzeveak and his tipsy elves like in an
ugly sweater.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The whole cool part about it used to be like, Yo,
your aunt actually bought that sweater and it's ugly as hell.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
You had to find your uncle Bart's sweater and it
smelled like cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh my god, do you know anyone that has like
an old ass sweater? That's hideous? But then you start
making ugly sweaters, then it seems forced. I get the
forced nature of what you're saying. So authenticity, I think
is the word too. Does it feel authentic?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You know?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
And that's the difference, That's what that's what goes off
and makes you feel a little corny. Hey, where did.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
This come from?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
The thing like he just came up with it. But
what's the significance. Is there any sort of tie in
with the San Antonio Spurs. I don't know what you're
talking about, That's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Like, is there some sort of cultural significance, regional significance, Like.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
What is does it mean anything? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Bro to people in Green Bay, Wisconsin like to Leap
when they talk about the Lord's Leaping and that song
that they talk about, they talking about people.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
In Green Bay, Like, I mean, uh, I'm just wondering, honestly,
I'm wondering what the context is or is this something
I just farted out and thought of in his sleep.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I'm reading right now that this Viking clap had a
lot of success during the euro Cup in twenty sixteen,
and because he's a French professional basketball player better than
the vuvuzela, I guess yeah, so I think that's why
it's part of part of his repertoire.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
But it's just I don't know that.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
You look in the comments last night and this morning,
and all the Vikings fans are in there, like rip off,
you're biting off of us.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Hey, and seriously, Rich, I'm not. I don't want to
hate on Wemby or the Spurs. I actually like him
a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I'm just telling you right now.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
My first instinct this But like I said, like a song,
there's some songs that I don't like at first and
then they get to me. Hey, Christmas Rappings. The first
time I heard that song, Well, this is the worst
Christmas I ever heard. It's my favorite song right now,
my favorite Christmas song of all time.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You forgot Cranberry's too.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah, the waitresses Christmas Rappings. I was like, who are
these whole home women singing about Christmas time?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
It's the worst song I ever heard? Ah humbug and
that's what's sound Yeah uh man man man. And I
was like, this song is terrible. Guess what? Love it now?
It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Marry Christmas, Mary Christmins d d DN. So things take
time to build. If the fans get behind it and
they continue to win, it doesn't matter what any of
us think. It doesn't matter what I think, It doesn't
matter what anyone thinks, it will be cool to them.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
What about when the Cubs throw back a home run?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Cool?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I like it. Get your stupid home run out of here.
I love it.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
They take me out to the ball game, seventh inning stretch,
love it tradition. But like you always say rich. Sometimes
tradition is making the same mistake over and over.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I love the Mets that they play Lazy Mary during
the seventh inning stretch gets everyone pump.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
No no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I like that too, Ye yeah, I think I think
it is pretty cool when the grounds crew does the YMCA.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I love when there's some regional cultural tradition when they
play Sinatra in New York, New York at the end
of a win.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
I think that's great.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Like, That's why I asked the significance, Like is there
some sort of tie in with San Antonio? Like was
this some sort of battle drum that they fought with
back in the day.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
I don't know what it is, So go ahead, Sam, Oh,
I have a question for you guys. I mean Greg Popovich,
who's still with the organization. He's not the head coach anymore,
but he won five titles between nineteen ninety nine and
twenty fourteen. You think during that championship culture and run
you would develop some traditions. I mean, I'm not that
familiar with Spurs basketball, but you win five titles in
fifteen years, shouldn't you have some trade points?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Sam? You could?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
You should say that they should have one when they
had this sweet run, Like, how did they not that?
Maybe that's what they were lacking a little personality, so.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Maybe big time look at it. Who was the face
of their organization during a lot of that run.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Timmy Duncan. Yeah, no nonsense, winning champion, just a just
a great ballplayer.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Let me let me hit you with one more and
then well we can move on.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Like, you know, it happens in our lifetime when they
change stadiums and looks and gimmicks and everything. What about
when the Seahawks who went from you know, the old
school Steve Large and Kingdome Seahawks of our childhood to
you know, becoming the twelfth Man and they raised the flag?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Is that cool deal? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Absolutely superp Well, hey, your thoughts at Covine on rich
and uh not all traditions are corny. Let us know
what your favorite traditions are in sports, because Wemby's trying
to start a new one in San Antonio. And you
know what, I think it's pretty cool for San Antonio,
which is a great city, great basketball city, that they
had all that success they competed, you know, because they
(11:55):
never went back to back there's a sense that they
don't get the respect they should with the Lakers and
some of the other dynasties and the Bulls and the
you know, the heat for a minute.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Like the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
No one talks about the Spurs because again, never back
to back, but a great basketball city and they're right
there again because of Wemby Fox and some of these
young great players.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah, props to these young guys making a difference. And
speaking of young players, man Cooper flag lighting it up yesterday,
Anthony Edward's playing big. Just cool to see these young
dudes taking over the NBA. And I do want to
say one last thing. I don't want to be hard
on Wenby. Actually root for the guy. I like watching
him play, and I think it's it takes a lot
of Kojones to get out there in front of, you know,
(12:41):
forty thousand people and try to get everyone to play
along and try to make something happen. So corny or not,
I give them credit for that. I think that's a
bolt sort of move.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Danny g phones are lit. Who do you want to
talk to?
Speaker 10 (12:53):
Will?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We'll talk to some peeps and then we'll talk a
little tradition because that's a funny story involving my Steve Cavino,
and it has to do with whether or not old
school movies and old school sports translate.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Now let's start in Greenville, South Carolina. Rocky wants to
weigh in on traditions.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Absolutely, what's up, rock.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Hello, good morning, Good morning Rocky, Good morning, Merry Christmas.
See you guys.
Speaker 11 (13:22):
I've never caught your show.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I listened to you here and there. Unfortunately here in Greenville, Uh,
we have local shows that you guys aren't on the
air here, but.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
You could always share us on the iHeart app.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, man, I do, and I have that, so I've
done that. But on the Lambeau Leap and I'm in legal,
South Carolina. I am a South Carolina Gamecock fan. And
on the Lambeau Leape, I look and and we had
a receiver at South Carolina by the name of Robert
Brooks and who played for Green Bay. Now Leroy Butler
(13:59):
was the first one ever do it.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
It was on the.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Return tumble of some kind and he was the first
one to do it. But actually Robert Brooks popularized it
in Green Bay when he was there. Every time he
scored a touchdown, he did it, and that's kind of
what kick started it and got it going.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That's cool, man, that's like, that's a bragging right.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The more people should know that fun fact, like how
it was Dusty Baker who was the first to high
five someone ever like to me that those little fun
facts a while. To me, that like it should become
a knowledge. Who the first lambeau leaper was.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I think Dusty Baker was on the receiving end, the
receiving end of the first time.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
It was Glenn Burke. It was Glenn Burke who they
said was how do I say this on the Dan
Patrick Show? A little zesty, right, and he got a
lot of flak for.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
A lot to say he was gay.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I mean, yeah, no, it's true. That's the story and
I didn't I didn't write it. That is the story.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
So you're saying the high five is uh is esty?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
No, But you know, Dusty Baker's side of it was
like he didn't know what to do, so he threw
his hand up and it became a thing. And it's
almost it almost feels impossible, like wait, so that they
were the first people to do the high five, that's
that's just a wild thought.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Who were the first two players to jump up and
you know, bump against each other.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Wasn't it Marcus Allen on Tech Mobile. No, but you're right,
that isn't question.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm trying to think, like, who do you in the
who do you picture in the NBA after like a
you know, like a big three pointer jumping up and
like essentially like bumping sides.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Like it's a good question.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
That is a good question. No one gets question from
the nineties, No one gets credit for that. Who else
we got Danny g Let's.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Go to Vegas, the Homie Trip, No trip?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
What's up, Buddy, Mary trips Bud.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
Hey, good morning. I just wanted to call in and
say Mary Christmas to you guys, and it's always pleasure
to uh to speak with y'all and listen to y'all.
And then I had a question, uh for tradition, who
was the first person? I don't know the answer. I
know y'all can find out who was the first person
to flash the three time after hit the three pointer?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
One NBA celebration though that I don't know that at
the time, nobody was doing it. When D'Angelo Russell was
a youngster on the Lakers. He was the first to
do the the ice like the ice ve ice in
my veins.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, I mean the ice in my veins is a
big one. That's cool. Yeah, I thought that was cool.
You know what, We're never going to know the answer,
so you could argue, well, why bring it up.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Then, But you know what, there was the first person
that did anything really in life. I know, this is
like a really deep I'm not high, I promise you. Yeah,
there was someone that did anything for the first time.
You know, there was a there was an NFL player.
We will never be able to pay pointed, but there
was an NFL player that was the first to be
like first down and they like pointed like first thing,
(17:06):
like like did the little like you know, like George Kittle.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Now obviously wasn't that Al Bundy at paulk High School?
I think he started the wait is that did you?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
That might be true?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah yeah, but now I just picture Kittle doing his
little like they're emulating the official, but they're kind of
adding a little pizzaz. Yeah, but like, who is the
first player to mimic the referee with like pizzazz, like
doing their little first down?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Was Jim Brown maybe or something otherwise.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
The first person to shout Kobe when they threw trash
into a trash can.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Might have been you, Danny, wasn't it you?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And the no?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
I learned that from somebody I don't know who, but
every day in our studio, you hear all the shows.
I hear Covey and a lot of papers flying into
the can.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Yeah. That amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
So yeah, but that's something that happened organically, right, So
it's just like, wow, that's kind of cool. How that
just became a thing. That's the difference, just became a thing.
We all witnessed how it became a thing and how
it's trying to become a thing.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Last night is.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Michael Jordan the answer for who is the first person
to shoot a jump shot? Nothing but the bottom of
the that and you leave the hand up like you
leave the hand hanging.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Maybe drug for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Jordan's still shrugg now the shrug, but that was because
he was just on fire.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
I'm not talking the tdrug. I'm talking about people emulate that.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm saying, like leaving leaving it up there, like after
the after the after your shot, just leaving your hand
up there.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Because you know your mechanics are so perfect. Was it Jordan?
There's some there's someone that did everything.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Was Steph Curry? Was it cry.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Definitely? Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
So it's about being original, Danny g You hit that
point before too.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
That's part of.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
It has to be original. But winning could make it
cool the end, We'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
It'll be fun. We'll look back and be like, yeah,
remember when they try to do that thing catch.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
On Mets in eighty six, most notably for the curtain
call after a big home run or something like, you know,
coming out of the dugout waving to the fans. I
was considered very arrogant, but that was very like eighties Mets.
I'm thinking batflip. Who is the first because now it's everyone,
but we always think Joey Bautista.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But I don't know if that was the first, like
it was me in eighty eight Little League bro nineteen
eighty eight.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
When you hit your twenty fourth home run in one season.
That was after I hit my twelfth of the season. Yeah,
I remember after my first season.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Because as you know, baseball is all about like the
unrootten rules of like you know, like sportsmanship, so there
was one person that went against the grain and said.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
F that I'm gonna flip my back back.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
It was probably somebody flashy, like a Ricky Henderson or
Kenny Lofton.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
You know. Maybe they were the guys who sort of
played bet.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Ricky first to do like the snap catch, right, like
anytime you catch a fly ball and you snapped the
glove down.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Yeah, but that's why they're legends. A originality, man, that's
a big part of it. Danny g made a really
good point.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
Every time you.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Flip a shortstop, was it you were Ozzie smith Ozzie smith.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Man, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
And I feel like that's one of the things that
the spurs new tradition lacks. But they can make it
their own. They can make it their own. We'll see
what happens. It takes a little time. Now, Rich speaking
of traditions, I want to set this up and just
say that around the holidays, watching a good holiday classic starts.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
To become a tradition, right, like a Christmas story.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
It plays so often that there is rarely a year
that you probably don't see that movie. Everyone has to
see it, right, Maybe you don't sit through the whole
thing but you see it. But at one point it
was probably a tradition before you got sick of it.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, there's the same movies you watch every year with
the kids or the family, Like I know the Frosties
and the Rudolph claymation, and you know Elf and Home Alone.
This trie Charlie Brown. Yeah, Charlie Brown. Every I kick
off the Christmas season. I was always watch Love Actually
on Thanksgiving night.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
Trash.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't even want to fight about that to uh
feeling too fastive rich to fight you on how trash
that movie is. But growing up, you fight me on
a movie that's on every list of the greatest holiday
movies just because you don't like it. It's a week movie, dude.
I challenge anybody to watch that weak ass movie Love Actually.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
It's trash's trash, trash. I looat you and I think trash.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
That's I mean, you can say it all you want,
it's false. So how do you say I'm gonna I'm
gonna start.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Up with this.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
How do you say it's a Christmas movie when there's
a whole porn plot line. Geez, a porn scene? Is
that fun for the family? Are the kiddies love that scene.
I think I love, you think love? Actually you think porn.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I mean it's in the movie. Is I mean like
one ten second scene. It's in the movie.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
If you have to cover a kid's eyes and Grandma
gets up because she feels awkward. It's not a Christmas movie.
It's trash so and it's not even good. It's not
It's like, okay, at best, it's the most overhyped Christmas movie.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
Al Right.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
So Cavino has a theory on whether.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Or not classics stand the test of time and an
experiment he did with a holiday classic, and then we'll
tie that into sports because when you show people old
sports stuff, there's a theory. We got so that and
a lot of people hitting us up with NFL calls
because I mean, here, we are about to enter week seventeen,
(22:28):
and we got three games on Christmas Day tomorrow, so
a lot of NFL will go a little throwback with
the Christmas classics.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
So what else do you want to get to.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Cavino, well' tis this season to give, and we want
to give something to you.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Dan Patrick.

here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. What what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Were interrupting our promo? Yeah, you wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yee, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Merry Christmas Eve from our C and R on FSR
family to yours in for the great Dan Patrick. By
the way, we're also in for Dan Patrick next Monday
and Tuesday are segmented Dan Patrick.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
Patrick, thanks for the warning.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, so everybody be warned.
Speaker 5 (24:12):

Speaker 2 (24:38):
You know what people will say, Oh, they really want
a white Christmas. You know what no one says, Yeah,
we all like a wet, rainy Christmas, soggy, clustering, soggy Christmas.
And by the way, as we look at the three
games for Christmas Day tomorrow, some of them such high
hopes early on, like the NFL does a great job
(24:59):
of some how like they just strike gold like they're
a sourdough Sam the forty nine ers of mascot. They're
striking gold constantly with like yo, this matchup and the
games that they get in primetime are awesome.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
But Christmas Day just didn't work out the way they thought.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The Chiefs didn't deliver on their end of the deal
where it's broncos A Chiefs. Chiefs are done, Lions and
Vikings both out of the playoff mix, and the Commanders,
you know, laid an egg after a great season last
year and the Cowboys came up short.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
So no Rob yep.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
So doesn't it still feel like an NBA day to you?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Anyways?
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Though to me Thanksgiving football and Christmas Day basketball?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I agreed, but I feel like the NFL is trying
to hijack.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I mean, I think they have Chris forday and hijack.
But like you said, with the bad games, this is
a chance for the NBA to take their rightful throne.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Curious how the ratings will be, Well, we'll see because
these are three irrelevant NFL games, So the question will
be does an irrelevant NFL game still dominate the NBA
and rating? So we'll see tomorrow. Merry Christmas, Danny g.
We're gonna do Mike's words wisdom.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
In a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
We'll talk some more NFL. But you want to take
a couple of quick phone calls. I know people have
been on hold. Let's say, how to Jay in Delaware.
He just want to talk about strength of schedule, which
is something we talked about last hour.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Really quick, Rich, just so the phone stop ringing about this.
Ryan and Cincy and several others called in, citing the
Chappelle Show two thousand and four for pioneering the Kobe.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Do you remember the skit?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Rashida Jones is famously in it, and Kobe, the fake Kobe,
makes her sign a contract.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Listen, don't tell anybody about this.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
From the makers of the love contract comes the confidentiality.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
Don't worry. I'm not gonna tell anybody. I know you won't.
We'll sue you.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
Is Kobe, and that's where he shoots the condom into
the wastebasket.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Was that the origin or did that popularize something?
Speaker 6 (27:05):
As popularized something? I think maybe we were always saying
I see, I don't know, but that's what made That's
what blew it up.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
I put it into our lexicon.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Sometimes something's been around, but a pop culture moment really
enhances it. Like Cavino and I've argued for years that
I said the term milf was from American pie, and.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Cavino's like, you think they invented that.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I'm like, maybe they didn't invent it, But because the
popularity of American pie right around the turn of the century,
you know, milf became a word.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
We also a new no.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I mean, man, I was claiming, like man I, me
and my high school friends used to say milf. It existed,
So oh, I'll give you an Maybe a popularized it, though
for sure we've argued.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
We've been on like a Fox Sports radio business trip
and when we're meeting for breakfast, you know, I'll knock
on Covino's door housekeeping and I'm like, yo, Tommy Boy,
and he's like, you think Tommy Boy invented that.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I'm like, no, but the idea my dad would do
that when I was a kid. That's my point.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
So there's a difference between the origin and what popularized it.
So Chappelle did he create that, did he make that,
or did he popularize it? I don't know, but traditions. Hey,
I'm not hating on the spurs. Okay, it takes time
to develop, a time to build.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Now, let me ask you this, he said, Chappelle, did
you watch any special? I did. Yeah, he's a good storyteller.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Chappelle.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I think has gone to like he's less punchliney and
he's just more of like an amazing storyteller that tells
funny stories. It's it's like the evolution like Sebastian Man
of Scalco to me, is now like a super physical comic.
Totally is in that lane now, and I think Dave.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Has like a caricature of himself, you know, highly animated.
He really leans into the physical stuff and it works.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Chappelle seems like less of a comedian and more of
like a generational like orator where he just grabs the
mic and you just want to hear what he has.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
He's a social commentary. He's doing like a he's like
a young.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Head talk like a younger black George burns Now the
way he's smoking on stage, telling stories about how he's
buying his whole town.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, I'll be honest, it's like oddly distracting how he
just doesn't stop smoking a special. All right, let's say
hi to Jane and Delaware one NFL question, then we'll
give away a prize here on Fox Sports Trading. What's up, Jack,
you men, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
Buddy, Marry Christmas. While I was on hold, you guys,
I just real quick out Christmas movie tradition. But my kids,
we are the two movies that we always watch for
the Elf and the Muppets Christmas Carol.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
The Muppets Christmas Carol.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
When they do Marlee and Marlee. My kids love that craft.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
I love that one.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
That's a good one, dude, That's definitely a good one.
You know what I realized the other day, there's the
biggest jerk.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
You know what. Let me save it. My adds blazing.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Let's talk strength of schedule, Jay, what you got man? Uh?
Speaker 12 (30:00):
So, the two teams in there that I trust the
most out of those five, i'd say, are the Patriots.
They've won, you know, they're undefeated on the road, and
they finished their games. You know. They They've lost to
the Raiders of course in the beginning of the season,
but that's that was the beginning of the season. But
the Niners has brought back five and zero, and they're
putting away teams. You know, the last five games they've
(30:20):
one by two scores, They've scored on twenty three straight
Borders Hunter hasn't punted since November. Those are the two
teams that I trust the most of those bottom five, like,
even though their strength of schedule blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
As a Niners fan, I'm not going to argue that point.
But we earlier talked about the five teams that have
had the weakest strength of schedule this year are all
playoff bound teams Niners, Chargers, Bears, Broncos, and the easiest
schedule the Patriots had them, and you got to ask
yourself the strength of schedule matter much.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
We decided he made a.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Good point, and I did say that. I did say,
you know, it's also how you win. Yeah, you may
be playing weaker teams, but how did you beat them?
Did you clobber them?
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:01):
That makes it different. Yeah, I think it's a great point.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know what a lot of those teams have in common,
and you could say this about a lot of playoff teams,
but I look at those five teams with the weakest schedule.
Danny g as arguably having five of the best coaches
in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Listen to those teams.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, Kyle Shanahan, Jim Harbaugh, Ben Johnson, Sean Payton, and
Mike Rabel. Those are hell hell of good coaches that
have their teams headed to the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
So yeah, Covino said it in the first hour that
they all have good fundamentals and this is strength of
schedule during this season, not prior to it. So some
of these teams look good on paper going into the year.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
No doubt.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
All right, let's do this, Let's play a game, giveaway
a prize. We'll come back, we'll talk more NFL and
I have a more dumb fearies about holiday movies and sports,
so we'll get to all that. But we do it
every week on Covino and Rich as we film for
Dan Patrick. There's a guy around here at Fox Sports Radio.
His name is Mike Big, Mike Whit.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
He looks like a stone called Steve Austin. He looks
like Rick from Pond Stars.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
And when we first met him, he just came with
a vibe that we thought he ran this place. And
it's very clear everyone around here was quick to say no, No,
this guy does not run this place, but we call
him Mike that runs this place, and he has words
of wisdom. Take it away, Sam, it's time for the
guy then runs this place.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
He is not in charge of everything.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
He has no power over really anybody here.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
He does not run this place.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And I think that's a sentiment in a lot of
offices where there's someone that appears to have a power
and you realized they really don't.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
I never told you guys this story before, but since
Mike's not in the building, uh before, we play his
actual words of wisdom here. When I was running the
OutKick the Coverage program on this network, Mike got into
it a little bit with me one morning because he
wanted something done fast, and he raised his voice and
I said, Mike, you're not my supervisor and he's like, well,
(33:05):
I'm going to email your supervisor then, and I say,
he's just.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
He's just the visor.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Yeah, And you know what, I think super Death's super
about him.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Really.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
At the end of the shift, he came up to
me and He's like, I'm sorry for raising my voice.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
I'm like, Mike, you don't run anything here.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
But I yeah. But you know what, we really love Mike.
Speaker 7 (33:23):
He's awesome.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Yeah, you give him the credit that he deserves.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
He's a big teddy bear. He's one of those kind
of guys.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Let's hear his words of wisdom and it's very simple.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Guys, repeat it word for word and you want to
price eight seven, seven nine nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Eight seven to seven nine nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Listen to Mike's words of wisdom.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
May your Christmas be bright, your turkey be moist, and
your gifts be returnable. Merry Christmas, everybody.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
For batim, Dan Patrick Nation verbatim. That's how the game works.
Oh simple, I like it.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Where do they need to say the Merry Christmas?
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Point?
Speaker 9 (33:58):
Yeah, I thinks, oh yeah yeah. Even if you don't celebrate,
it's part of everything. In verbatim, it's verbatim. You want
to play, you win one last time?
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, give it one one more time.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
May your Christmas be bright, your turkey be moist, and
your gifts be returnable. Mary Christmas, everybody.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
It's pretty good. One man, Thank you, Mike.

Fox Win A, Coveno on Rich, Fox Sports Radio, NERF

We got midweek major, all the stories in sports and
pop culture, and of course a lot of NFL. As

meaningless games. With those meaningless games will also dictate draft order.

Christmas to man.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I got one random question before we get into some NFL.
We're gonna get to midweek Major Danny g Obviously if
you got kids, Santa comes tonight, brings goodies and gifts
for the kids and stockings.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
But the presents that.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Come from mom and dad and relatives. I ask, can
you know this yesterday? And my wife and I have
different traditions, you know, not of course Santa who comes tonight.
Little kiddos, do you put presents under the tree as
you get them and wrap them? Or is it like
Christmas morning? Parents and Santa gifts are all there at once.
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Well, we have a toddler, my first. You know I
have stepkids, but this is my first kid. He's two.
We can't have anything under that tree because as it is,
he already pulls all the ornaments down off that tree.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Can you imagine the tree has ornaments all on the
high part of the tree, in the bottom is empty.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
Dude, he throws whiffleballs into the tree. He's got all
his toys thrown into the tree. If there were anything,
he calls him a prize or a surprise. He's like, surprise,
a surprise. If there was any rap gift under there,
he would have it torn open in a minute.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
You realize when you get married. He takes away from
the reveal. I'm sorry to state the obvious here, but
the only presents that were really under the tree were
like Mom brought some presents home from the office because
someone gave or something, or maybe like the obvious gifts,
like hey, I bought something from the holiday boutique for dad,
so it's under the tree, you know, like the obvious ones,
(39:09):
like if you bought your mom or dad.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Something at like the Christmas fair at school.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Exactly, so like there were presents there, or maybe your
aunt came in. And I know it takes me from
the reveal of Santa's gifts on Christmas morning if.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
They're all out there already.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
I know.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
That Danny makes a point if you got little kids,
they'll rip things apart. But yeah, and pets, pets will too.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Everyone's got different traditions and that's sort of the fun
of you know, dating someone new and you get married,
you and your wife, you combine your traditions. But I
was always a Christmas Morning bam, like everything's there, and
you you know, you're like, oh my god, he came.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Chris, Sanna came out, and it's the presence for mom
and dad.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
My wife is a you know, Santa comes on Christmas Eve,
as you know kids, but my wife has the other
presents like already under the t and we're we're trying
that this year and it just feels weird. I'm like,
they're there like that then, like do you feel like
kids could shake a box and feel the presence and
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
It just shows that everyone's got.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
I like that.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
I like the idea of some gifts being under the
tree and then like it balloons outward and then when
Santa visits, then it's like a it's a it's a
smorgasboard of present.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Well, hopefully everyone has a great merry Christmas. Honestly a
special time of the year, especially if you got little kiddos.
Take it in because everyone will tell you these times
are are so fleeting, Right, you have a little pocket
a time where where that Christmas magic is there.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Right, I'm not trying to get all sentimental, Queen. You
don't have to start tearing up cards.
Speaker 6 (40:43):
Have man, you haven't cried like this since the Niners
lost in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Up, I've cried like this since the Mets lost lost
out to the Reds in the final Wildcard.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Christmas Darling.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I want to ask you about what happened last night
in Idaho because you told us yesterday on our afternoon show. Yeah,
that your girlfriend who's younger. No, you know you're not
a creepo, no creepy, but you know your girlfriend's a
good ten plus years younger than you. She's in she's
like thirtyish and her sisters, I believe, even younger. So
(41:20):
you're dealing with a bunch of people that are around thirty.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
The long story short, the lung short of it is,
we were talking about Christmas movies and like, we need
to watch one. I was like, you guys ever see
It's a Wonderful Life And they're like no. I'm like no,
none of them had seen it. Oh, like it's like
the Wizard of Oz of Christmas movies. And then they're like, oh,
we should watch it because Steve wants us to watch it.
(41:45):
I'm like, no, no, hold up, holdo, I don't want to
be responsible for you sitting here and you're thinking it's
a slow moving movie. It doesn't stand attest the time.
And now I'm the guy that vouched for it. I
didn't want all that pressure on me, and let's just say,
maybe not all things stand the test of time, right?
And does that translate as far as classic.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Sports moments as well?
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, because there's the theory Danny G and I have
and it's also based on the new l Way documentary
that's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
So I'll tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Sports movies standing the test of Time, plus Midweek Major
and a bunch more. Coveno on Rich Merry Christmas, filling
in for Dan Patrick here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Oh ho
