out here on the West Side, live from the mean

(00:39):
streets of La danyg is super producing at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. It's the Dan Patrick Hatrick.
It's always great to see Joel and Nick Coope is
hanging out. Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
We have a few phone calls Rich before we continue
talking about the best ways to watch the NFL, and
I do want to talk some wide receiver action today.
I mean, who is gonna play first Seedey Lamb, Brandon Ayuk,

(01:02):
Jamar Chase like there's a lot of dudes that, you know,
we're we're getting closer to the start of the season then,
and there's dudes that are still playing games of chicken
with the teams are on.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
So we'll get to all that. Did you say Chicken?
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Uh, let's say what's up to Travis? At l A
last hour, we talked about how Mookie Betts stays in
a different place than the team in Milwaukee gets he's
scared of a haunted hotel. So Travis had something on
that what's up Trav?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
I thought, you guy, you guys might pivot from the
haunted hotel to a graduate hotel.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Spot. Graduate hotels are not haunted. They they're fantastic, fantastic. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
And my other thing was, did you guys know that
Dan patrick man Cave is haunted by Jerry West?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I did not know that. I don't know if there's
a backstory there, but no news to me. That's why
that's why when we fill in, we don't go to
Connecticut and sit in the studio every few years. Covino's like, Nope,
thank you, Travelet's go to Jerry and Miami. You know,
Jerry hold on, I want to give you my take
on this. First we talked about Sunday ticket. It's expensive.
I know you got the break down. Some people are

(02:10):
about red zone. What do you think? Let me ask
you for a Steve Carino, what do you think is
the go to way to watch football on Sunday? Because
I feel like every time we talk you just got
the red zone on. Well, I think I'm a rare case.
People often ask me, hey, man, you work for Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
What's your team?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I don't have an NFL team, right, That's like the
most bizarre of all the things about you. I'm a
fan of matchups. I'm a big fight fan, so I
watch football the same way I watch matchups. As a
little kid, I made a weird choice, just like everybody else.
Did you chose a team you like because they were good,
or you like the Colors, or someone in your family said, yeah,
that's the team to watch. So I chose the Dallas
Cowboys when I was little. I didn't have a chance

(02:53):
to watch them all the time, so if I wanted
to watch a game as a kid, it was the
Giants or the Jets. And I never really liked the
Giants or the Jets. Couldn't really watch the Cowboys when
I wanted to watch them unless it was a big
game or game of the week or a playoff game.
So I never had a team that I was really

(03:15):
into in that way. Again, it was always about the
matchups and how they sized up. For me, I watch
all the games, and I want to know what's going
on in all the games, not just one game really
at a time. So red zone works for me. I
don't know if that works for everybody. It might be
your oddest characteristic, but I get what you're saying if
you're not invested in one team. And I always look

(03:37):
at it this way. I'm such a Yankees kid and
such a Yankees fan. Like even if I did like
like I love your forty nine Ers, I do. I
watch all your forty nine ers games. I watch as
many as I can. I can't compare my fandom to
the forty nine Ers or any team for that matter,
the way I feel about the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
I wonder if.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Everyone could prioritize their fandom like Danny j. If I
were to ask you, Lakers, Dodgers, Raiders, do you have
a distinct order or would you have to think about
it like what would mean the most to you as
far as championships, The.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
Raiders winning the Super Bowl would mean the most to
me right now, because I've said right now, so well, yeah,
because as an adult, I've seen obviously have seen the
Lakers dud it. I've been to multiple parades. Dodgers did
it in twenty twenty, but the Raiders. I was a
little little kid when Marcus Allen reversed that run in raund.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
So, do you think it's because of the longevity or
glory or do you genuinely have the most love for
the Raiders, because I think you and I then again,
you're always rocking your Lakers stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah. And by the way, I know that's an odd answer.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
You know, I know other people that feel the same
way as me, But I know I'm the odd guy
here when it says when it comes to not having
a specific team, Yeah, that's my reasoning and that's my answer.
I mean, listen, dude, I can't I can't tell you
what's weird for you. I look at it this way.
Red zone is great if you want to just be
up on player stats and oh this guy scored it touchdown,

(05:00):
Oh this guy.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
They're in there they're in the red zone.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
In the name of the thing, I feel like you
gotta have the four games split on the TV. And
it goes with another rule we have. If you're watching TV. Nowadays,
televisions are so cheap, you have to at least have
a sixty five inch TV.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, it's it's an old seventy five inch I mean,
but if.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
You invite your buddy over, yo, man, come over to
my place, We'll watch some Sunday football, hang out, we'll
have some wings. That dude has to have a fifty
five inch min nov I used to Yeah, you're upping it.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's a new rule. I'm uping it. New rule everybody.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Dude, if you go to Walmart, Target, anywhere, sixty five
inch TVs are like five hundred dollars. I'm with you,
so I passed that test you have because otherwise, why
am I going in your place with I have a
perfectly fine seventy five inch TV.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Hey, Joe, we're gonna go to Johnson. We're gonna go
to Johnson thirty two inch TV.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm in my pj's, Joe, I'm in my PJS seventy
five inch Why do I got to go to your
friend's house, deal with his wife and his rules, you know,
and he a little TV.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
No thanks, So why Rich didn't come over it? Well, dude,
your TV's not big enough.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm Joe rule bro, Joe. We all, like I said before, everyone,
look in your hand. You got an iPhone or an
Android that's worth a thousand dollars or more. You tell
me you can't get a five hundred dollars team mate.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Rich, he didn't go. He didn't go split screen enough?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah to Rich loves spending other people's minds. No body
invite me over to watch on your iPad. Then if
you look at it this way, like a little school boy,
if you have a seventy five inch eighty inch sixty
five inch TV split.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Four ways, you get a good view.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Of four games at once. And Danny G, you and
I have the ultimate strategy. We figured this out off
the air, and I was like, if Danny G and
I both think this is the case, it's got to
be true.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
Okay, what happens if a guy doesn't want to go
split screen enough for you?

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Rich?

Speaker 3 (06:48):
You know what that's interesting is there are people that
are like, dude, put on one game. This is distracting
four games going on with the bunch of cell phone.
It's got an iPad, you know, it's interesting. They're just
like a like a schoolboy iPad.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Kid.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
There are times where, and I know people have this
obstacle the local game isn't on the Sunday Ticket app.
So let's say I want to watch the Rams out
here in LA because I haven't bet on the game
or you know, I'm just interested, I do have to
watch that on an iPad and Sunday Ticket on the
TV because you can't go back and forth between local

(07:22):
TV and Sunday Ticket because you're go in between an app. Yeah,
of course. Yeah, So I think an iPad does need
to be involved. Split four screen split and Danny j
I like what you and I agree on in this
that sty Yes, yeah, we both do this at halftime
if when the game you're focused on most is at halftime,
all the other games on the docket at that time,

(07:45):
like the one o'clock games on the East Coast, those
early ten am games out here. Let's say there's nine
games under each game on Sunday Ticket, there's the bar
for highlights and they'll give you like the top ten
key plays of the first half, and by watching.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Those you really get a feel for the at.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Least good understanding, a good understanding of who's playing big
that day.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh C. J.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Stroud want to pass through a thirty yard game, They'll
they'll give you the top ten to twenty plays of
that game. Yeah, and you know, I mean specifically for
us being on the radio every day, we have to
have a general understanding of what's going on in most
of the games, not just to your local team. I
break out a notepad and I make like bullet points
for each game, you know, for the fan of our shows, everybody,

(08:28):
every real football fans nowadays want to know everything that's
going on for the most part. So that's great advice.
So but it's getting more convoluted, more complicated, rich.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
And way expensive. And that's part of the decision. Like
it's easy for you to be here, like, yeah, eighty
five in screen or.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Bust NFL ticket or week that's a lot of money
for a lot of people, dude, Not everyone's doing that
way more. Ask yourself this, Do I have the wrong
idea completely? Cause when I lived in New York. Yeah,
this was also before I had kids, and you know,
I was more I was homeless because I was singing
goal or just dating. Every Sunday I thought was an

(09:04):
opportunity to go to a sports bar. All the games
are on all the different TVs. It's a social scene.
Get some chips and guac and nachos and food, have
a drink and watch at a bar with your buddies.
And the right bar will have the right setup, like
the best games on the biggest TVs, all the visibility.
I'm also torn there because I would recommend if you're

(09:26):
a single guy, Sunday is also an opportunity to go
out and socialize, meet some girls, watch some football.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Great advice for a single guy, for sure. For sure,
why not why not do that and get out and
meet some people.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
But unless you really want to go focus on the
games because there's a lot of distractions.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, that's not my style.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
I want to I want to hear the audio off
the all the TVSA.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
When I was a single dude.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I want to sit next to some guy with his
face paint and a beer helmet and he's trying to,
you know, tell me about his story about the last
game he went to. I I do think that if
you're a single guy and you that social scene is
part of it because it is Sunday football. And listen,
I've I've had a lot of female friends tell me
they like to meet dudes out on a Sunday, Like
single women are like, you know, what's an easy place

(10:08):
to meet Dude's Sunday football? I mean, because guys are out.
Girl throws on the in New York in the twenty
and twenty tens. You know me like cute girls like
it's my Ela Manning jersey and I'm like, she's here
to like me. Dudes, I like Jeremy Shacky. But here's
how expensive it is. I know what it's like old
on But you're telling me, yeah, you're about to read
a list of here's all the expenses to watch football.

(10:31):
I'm telling you, if you go to the bar on
a Sunday, a couple drinks, nachos, Buffalo Wings, there's everybody senior.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
You're a very social guy.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
But I'm like that if you go out or stay home,
Sunday football's cost money. You're either gonna spend one hundred
bucks easily drinking and eating with your friends at a bar,
or pay for Sunday ticket and chill it home. I
just can't understand the lifestyle of someone that doesn't watch
football on Sunday. So to me, I don't think the
local game is enough. When someone's like, oh, what's the

(11:02):
local game this week? I want to tell my dad,
my dad, we're tired, you have money, get something, tickets,
stop it. Don't tell me all the Jets are on
at one and then I got to watch your Giants
at four.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm like, oh, you can watch any game you what
if that's your team?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
I understand, but you got to have a general understanding
of what else is going on in the NFL. If
you're a real fan nowadays, especially if you're a fantasy guy,
if you got action on the game shorts wageram, if
you want to know, just if you want to just
be able to carry a conversation at the barber shopp
or at the office on Monday, you have to have
more of an understanding than just your local team. That's

(11:33):
just how it is nowadays. So the best way to
watch the NFL is our question. And we're gonna get
to your phone calls now, but wait till you hear
how much it costs if you wanted to watch every game.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
All right, let's go to Jerry in Miami. What's up?

Speaker 7 (11:47):
Jerr, Hey, what's up?

Speaker 8 (11:49):
Fellows say, I'm a retired military colonel and I'm an
airline guy.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
So I've had direct TV since like ninety five, like
the early early days. Every year I'm fifty eight Sunday
Ticket every year. Well last year I didn't get it,
and I was like, I hadn't watch too any games.
So I came in early on a Sunday, was real tired.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
Back to my man cave, and I've done the double screens,
I've done all the things you said.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
I recorded Sunday Ticket.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
So I fell asleep, woke up about two o'clock through
the DVR back on.

Speaker 7 (12:19):
Oh man, I'm recording Sunday Ticket. I'm fast forwarding, I'm
going back, I'm pausing, I'm running outside, I'm grabbing some beers,
and I'm coming back in. And then I was able
to not only do that, but I could switch to
my home team's game live if I wanted to, but
it allowed me. I finished Sunday Ticket about an.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
Hour aftering the normal broadcast, and it was the most
fulfilling thing because I felt like Sunday Ticket sitting down
for those hours on hours and I move in and
the guys are great. I was like, I was like,
I was tracked. The best way DVR it watch Sunday
ticket DVR and watch your home game, home team live
and go back and forth is the best way to
watch all of it.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's a great story. And I love that phone call.
Thanks for sharing, man. I appreciate it again Coveno and
Rich and for Dan Patrick, and thanks for your service,
and thank you for your service. The only catch there
is putting your phone down and staying off social media
so that you don't know everything that happened. Tholready, that's
the only catch, right, because then then there's all these

(13:18):
spoilers on your Twitter feed. Now that that's the only
rub of what he's saying, but let's go the only rub.
But otherwise he's saving time and getting everything. Let's go
to Gunner in Eugene. What's up, Gunner? And by the way,
you know what I find interesting about Sunday football. I've
said this before and I'll say it again. I think
if you're single, and I just harp on this because

(13:40):
I think it's important, I think you need to date
someone a full calendar year before you could get really
serious with them. And I've said this forever because the
same way a woman may change her habits throughout the year, like, oh,
in the summer, she does this, in the winter, she
does this, or I don't think people realize how football

(14:01):
consume some like if you're the type of guy that
every Saturday, if in the fall she wears leggings and uggs,
are you okay with that? I think you'd have a
hot girl wear anything.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'll be okay with it.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
I think that a lot of times you may not realize, like, yeah,
I watch college football every Saturday Sunday, I'm locked in
on the NFL, and then then there's Monday night football
on Thursday night football. You need to see how that
jives with certain different women in your life, because so
you have to dater through the football.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Season to see if she's willing to make that five
layer dip.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
But I would I would say right now in twenty
twenty four, Rich, the good news is so many women
love the.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
NFL without a doubt. I'm saying you did. I think
women need to test this too. You might women, there's
a lot of out there. They're like, all my man
does is sit there in front of the TV all
Sunday and they gave you a hard time a bat.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
But we actually know some women where they like football
more than their due.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Of course it goes both ways.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Rich is saying, so a full calendar year you get
to see both sides and both habits. Yeah, for every
season you got, you got, you gotta test it out. Gunner, Eugene.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
What's up? Man?

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Hey, what's up, guys? It's Gunner from Eugene. I met
you guys at a graduate.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Nice man, what's up, brother? How are you?

Speaker 9 (15:19):
I wanted I'm doing well Man, great topics this morning.
I just wanted the piggyback on Rich's comment this morning
about Fox when I was a kid growing up and
all the great shows that came on in the early nineties,
the one you forgot to mention and you were talking
about spooky stories, the X Files on Fox Man Late Night.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
To add that to the Simpsons, Marritive Children, and it
was thirty years ago yesterday, Fox got football, which is
crazy X Files, X Files that great. Still watches that
every night. You know, Thank you, Gunner, You're the man,
and ancient aliens like Rich said, thank you. It was
nice to meet you.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Man. Thanks for calling.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
So, so can I break this down for you? Let's
hear because I think this is I know you think
this is misleading. I get all that. Okay, Okay, but
let me be very clear on this. This was a
viral meme we talked about off the air Rich a
few weeks ago. This is how much it would cost
to potentially watch every game in the NFL, which I

(16:21):
think a lot of us.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Plan on doing.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Okay, in some if you wanted to watch every game
in the NFL, this is how much it will potentially
cost because again, every game is on a different platform
and they're hard to find. Your parents are hitting you up,
like how.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Do I watch?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Uh, well, the forty niner is playing. Oh they're an Amazon.
It's Thursday. Okay, I guess I'm not watching the forty
nine ers this week.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, No, not that.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's just so, if you potentially wanted to watch every game,
this is how much it would cost you. YouTube TV
seventy ninety nine. Okay, NFL Sunday ticket it says three
forty nine. Here you said how much? No, I think
that's the discount. So yeah, I probably got ripped off. Okay,
I'm gonna call them Prime Video for Thursday Night Football
et CET eight ninety nine, Peacock five ninety nine. Okay,

(17:10):
I think that won up two to seven ninety Oh
why Dan Patrick was, uh yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Anymore?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Runny ESPN plus ten ninety nine, Netflix six ninety nine.
The total cost if you potentially wanted to watch every
game in the NFL is absurd when people are struggling.
But I also told one hundred and fifty dollars to
watch every game of the twenty twenty four NFL season. Now,

(17:36):
not everybody subscribing to all these things, And I get
rich as loophole of Hey, you're subscribing to some of
these services regardless of the NFL, but you're still spending
that money. But all right, Amazon eight hundred and fifty bucks,
get out of my fish.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Amazon, Hulu or YouTube TV. You have that already.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
So my solution you already had, You're probably gonna have
Peacock for something else.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I just got Peacock last month to watch DP.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, but I get that, And I get you have
Netflix because you want to watch Unsolved Mysteries and Joe
Rogan's comedy special.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
But you're still paying that much.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
It doesn't change the amount of money that's coming out
of your pocket.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah. But so my point is this.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I know I'm an exception because I don't have a
team in the NFL, but red zone works for me.
Fifteen dollars a month, eighty dollars a year. Me and
Scott hang out every Sunday morning. We chilling, and then
I see all the highlights at the end.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
So I'm sticking with that solution and whatever game I
get locally, I'm watching.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
And that's it.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
Lucky dog with no team in the race. I mean,
I know, I wish, wish it could be like that
for some of us. Sean in Sacktown.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Wrap this up, man, what's the best way to watch
your Sunday football?

Speaker 10 (18:47):
He my Breaking Graduate Hotel alumni. Many are hanging in
the morning, brothers.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Fun mental listen once you get up, it's all good man.

Speaker 10 (18:57):
Look y'all got me pumped in the gym right now,
pre work out of the working magic. Y'all are doing
the rest and I just kinda put it out there. Man,
y'all are doing it all wrong with the TV.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
Thought.

Speaker 10 (19:04):
All right, my girl put me in the game a
couple of years ago. Get a projector get a little
scream in the backyard, cost you like two hundred bucks.
Get you an amazing sound bar. You're cooking in the
backyard all fall, along all your buddies that are enjoying
like one hundred inch TV instead of a needily seventy
inch and you're the man. That's the best way to
do it. Project Now tell your girls you're tired of

(19:26):
watching ninety eight fiance or married at the altar, and
she'll get a set up for her programming and you'll
be set for the fall.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Now you're you're in. We're your Sacramento. Yes there see,
I give you a lot of credit.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Do you have like misters in the well? You know what,
it's not hot around football season, so lucky. I was like,
I was thinking, I can't be on my patio right now.
Not getting cool down quick? You say it cool down quick.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Finally cools down for us around Halloween.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
But yeah, I have this fantasy of like, yeah, I'm
gonna watch all my baseball games out on the patio. Yeah,
it's one hundred and fifty degrees out there, so yeah,
that sounds fun.

Speaker 10 (20:04):
Man.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
And those projectors are cheap, dude, They're not expensive. And
you don't need like a screen. You can just put
it on the side of your wall. Yeah, an empty
wall there Like that is a great idea, like the.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Ones the teachers used to roll into the classroom.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Not an overhead projector no, like an actual project the
one Al Davis used to use.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
But you know what I refuse to do. I'm uh.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I grabbed my huevos and manned up a little bit.
Danny j I made the ruling that my kids will
no longer rule my living room.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
You're not gonna be iPad dad anymore.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
There was a time when my kids were younger, like
you know, when they were like two or three year old,
like when they were little little there were times I
got suckered into like, all right, fine, watch Bluey on

(22:21):
hear Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. And when he asked
us the film for Dan Patrick, we Dan Patrick Patrick,
always a pleasure to be here and the numbers eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
We want to chime in.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
We're talking about the best way to watch the NFL
because there's so many options in so many ways, but
it's so much money. You heard Joel playing skater Boy
by Avril Levine. Yeah, personal favorite of yours was that?
A personal request for Rich no is Joel must be
excited about Avril's Greatest Hits tour or a huge Tony
Hawk fan.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Skater Boy. It's a good one. It's a good story.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
She's got it, she's got it, you know, like Averlvin's
one of these people has like five to ten hits.
You wouldn't even realize. I mean, she right, it's a
lot of hits too. So my option is red soon
and I'm sticking with it. It's the most reasonably prized.
You get a little taste of everything not enough for me,
and that's eighty bucks for the year, fifteen.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Dollars a month.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
And I love when Scott Hansen says it's the witching
hour where losses become wins and wins become losses.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I get all fired up.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
I'll tell you this, though, Danny, there's no insult to Cavino.
He's gonna take it that way though.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Ready.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
That's why sometimes when Monday rolls around, I feel like
there might be a game here there that you never
had the feel for, Like you'll know the score, you
know the highlights, watching every game so down there.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
But what I'm saying, you're not watching all game, saying
you missed some context, a little.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Bit context on the stupid game he's talking about, because
he's only focused on one game. But you're seeing scoring
plays and you're like, you're you don't think I have
one game on. Of course, it's like that'll be the
the game of the week or the local game red
zones like ad D. This guy's actingly he's watching every game.
The only great game he has great insight on is
his forty nine ers ad the bird Brain television I

(24:11):
think is red Zone.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Listen.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
I Rich already has add that'd be like him knocking
back three Mountain Dewes in a row.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Rich also has deep pockets, and that's what he forgets
a lot of times.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
He's gonna call me out.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
I'm gonna call him out because he's way disconnected to
the average person.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Quick money.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
You can't afford eight hundred and fifty dollars to watch
every game.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
And I I'm right there with the rest of America.
But if you are some parents who are putting a
kid through college, don't forget to have your kid come
home for the holidays and watch the NFL ticket with you.
Use their student ID you get half off.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Oh that's great, great advice. Or adopt the kid. And again,
we understand it's worth it. We understand it's a misleading
costs and a misleading meme that went viral.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Totally get that.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Because you probably have Netflix already, you probably have YouTube
TV already, whatever it is, you may have this already.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
But the total cost if you were to potentially watch.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Every game, if he started from scratch from scratch with
NFL ticket and prime and Peacock and ESPN plus that
would be eight hundred and fifty dollars plush to watch
every game there. So we're saying, based on that and
all the expenses of going out, like, what's the best
way to watch the NFL this year?

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Okay, Rich, you got the four split screens, But is
any of them like red zone because that's like or
are they all just pure games?

Speaker 7 (25:32):
No?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Pure game?

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Like, I'll have you know if it's split four ways,
Jets Bills in the top left, top right, Bengals, Browns, Like,
I have four games going at once and I'm and
you're allowed to keep the volume for one of them.
Whichever of the four games you highlight, that's the volume.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
So Covino has got split screens, but he's got the
red zone as one, so he's like watching a game
and all the games on his split side.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
I think the biggest tip of all, Joel is what
Danny and I were saying about how Sunday ticket does
provide at the bottom of the screen. Let's say you
watch and let's say you're late to the game. You
were out and about it'll bit Lions Packers third quarter.
You're like, but damn, what did I miss at the bottom.
Sunday Ticket does a great thing where they put key
plays highlights and it'll be like twenty different twenty second clips,

(26:19):
and it's not just scoring plays. It'll be like, oh,
Jared Goff when he rolled right and you know, hit
laporter for twenty.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Eight yards and they throw them up immediately.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
And it's great because you could get sort of a
feel by seeing the highlights.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh it was a missfield goal. They'll show that.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
A big factor here too, And the way the games
work nowadays is how much action you have on these games.
Because if you have money on these games, and you
have money riding on certain games, you're probably tuning into
all of them and you want to know what's going
on in every moment of all of these games. So
that's probably a factor too. Yeah, so the best way

(26:53):
gets more expensive. What's your choice, what's your method? And
remember the other rule you have to if you haven't
people over, you have to have over.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's an updated rule.

Speaker 12 (27:02):
Yeah, over a sixty five inch TV six seventy five,
Now sixty I'll go sixty five, sixty five or higher
because right now I'm gonna look it up. What we
take the phone call I guarantee if you go to
Walmart right now, there's probably like an LG sixty five
inch for three ninety nine some football sale.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
I say this all the time because someone else will
say it. The reason they're not that expensive because they're
not actual TVs for the most part anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
They're just monitors, just monitors.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
That you'll hook up like a rokou Earth a firestick
or something. So there's no tube, there's no broadcast, it's
just a monitor. So you could afford a sixty five
inch most like.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Who wants it? Actually you're not coming? Yeah, who wants
a TV? I mean I have a TV with a
tunor in it. You're not going to come over. You're
not going to come over.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I know if you already think about it this way,
if you already have a sixty five two and eighty
to one hundred screen TV, why would you go to
someone's house if they have a fifty inch for what?

Speaker 4 (27:57):
No?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Way on a Sunday. That is so funny to me.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
I don't like I don't like your company that much.
Let's go to Morgan in Bakersfield. What's up Morgan?

Speaker 7 (28:08):
All right?

Speaker 13 (28:08):
What's going on?

Speaker 9 (28:09):
Guys?

Speaker 13 (28:09):
I love your guys show Thanks love impersonation, especially if
Mike Tyson and Mahomes, you guys are awesome.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Thanks man.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
We're gonna play Mahomes Showtime Trivia later so hopefully maybe
you could be contested.

Speaker 13 (28:22):
I will be tuning in for sure, So my my
chip into this is just what I've been doing. I
go to my local sports bar and I catched the
Sunday games. I'm a Falcons fan here in California, so
that's my only outlet. And then for the rest of
the games pretty much, I already have Amazon for Thursday
night if I want to watch them. And then what

(28:43):
I do is I use the NFL app and it's
like fifteen dollars a month and it includes ret Zone
and prime time game, your local TV game on there.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Nice now, can you know you just looked it up?
What is the cheapest sixty five inch TV? For people saying,
come on, bro, that's a big dude. Let's see you
just saw one. I think what worst Buy has one?
At worst by over five hundred bucks. Best Buy right
now you can get a sixty five inch Pioneer cares

(29:12):
about the brand these days. It's just a four K TV.
Four K sixty five inch ninety nine at best.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Fine, we'll look at that.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
So you know, our request isn't that much. I'm telling you, yeah,
it's not that much. But when you factor that in
again to the cost of everything else and all the
fixes that you're buying for company.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Me let me talk to.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
All let me let me talk to all our friends
on the East Coast for ten seconds. East Coasters. It
might sound crazy, but West Coast football is awesome. Meaning
when I first moved out here, I remember thinking man
ten am and one pm. I always I still called
them the one o'clock and four o'clock games. But when

(29:57):
Sunday Night Football comes on at dinnertime and you're having
dinner with the family with Sunday Night Football on, and
then after that you could like watch TV with your
wife Sunday night, you have the evening to yourself. It's
like when you're film for Dan Patrick. There's so much
day left, dude, Monday night football so much day. Our
usual time here on Fox, we're on two to four

(30:18):
locally here in La five to seven on the East Coast,
So right after our show, Danny, a lot of times
we'll go to the bar and watch Monday night football.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
You're home by seven thirty eight o'clock with with your wife,
you have the night game's over. Yeah, it's a it's
a different experience.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's an adjustment. It's an adjustment. Let's go to the
phones and thank you again for hanging out with us.
Live from Mercedes Benz Studios. We got Loso in Miami.
It's Cavino and Rich and for Dan Patrick, what's up, Loso?

Speaker 14 (30:46):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Guy?

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Know Tyreek Hill the best player in the league or
what he says?

Speaker 14 (30:50):
So yes for me? Or no?

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah? What do you think?

Speaker 14 (30:57):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, you know what he said.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
He said, he's uh, he was talking to our pal,
Hey k Adams. He said he's doing it for all
the short kings out there, given hope and inspiration because.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
He's what five five eight with hide increasing cleats.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
That's funny. So he says he's the best out there
for sure. So Lasso, how do you watch your Sunday
football listen?

Speaker 14 (31:19):
I'm almost because wait, I'm making sure because I've been
listening to the station for a lot of years and
i just want to make sure this station is based
here in Miami right now.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
We're based on last an we're in Los Angeles. All
the hosts are all over the place.

Speaker 14 (31:36):
Oh okay, well, now that makes sense because I thought
you guys were literally somewhere right here Miami, because excuse me,
almost it's kind of like either you guys are joking
around or you're looking for a TV plug because if
you're just South Florida and you don't have a firestick

(31:57):
that's loaded where you pay two hundred fifty dollars for
the year, but well, actually now it's thirteen months. But
every station in the world, every sport, every adult, this, that,
and the other. Like, what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (32:16):
So you got you got like the illegal hookup? Well,
I've seen those loaded fire sticks on off right.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
There's so many people that that offer these things, and
you know, hey, you should try this man and so.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
And I'm like, yeah, but is that legal?

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Because I can't be talking about that if you got
to ask, I know, probably not legal.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Way, what's that called? Yeah? I try.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I trying to support the industry, though. I will click
on a link if someone's like, oh, the fight's on tonight.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
There's a link. For some reason, all the fights Cono
watches are in Russian. That's fine, Yeah, but I get it.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
I get, I get there's other ways to do it,
and uh, hey, I'm glad you brought it up.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
And listen, you gotta do what you gotta do. Thank you, brother.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Uh Michigan, Mark, you're on Covino Rich and for Patrick?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
What's up?

Speaker 14 (33:00):
Mark? Good morning follows?

Speaker 10 (33:03):
How are we doing?

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Coom Man? How do you watch your Sunday football? What's
your strategy?

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Seventy five inch app TV nice with forty six and
a fifty five also in the basement fool table bar
home mankids set up. You can run the app TV
for whatever game you want, local TV on the local
on the local games on the local TVs. But I
will tell you you can get Amazon Prime on Thursday

(33:29):
for free. If you have a Twitch account, you can
sign up for Twitch. Twitch is an affiliate with Amazon.
You can watch Thursday night football for free.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Oh I see that's good to know exactly how that
sounds a little bit more legal?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
You know what I do? I do? Uh that, Danny.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
The one the one thing you could you know, and
idel we haven't really discussed totally is that the local
game does miss up the viewing process because the local
game is never part of Sunday ticket.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
They may show it on red Zone, but that local game.
Like again, the local game has always been the screw
up though.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yeah, the blackout game, I guess it's it's blacked out
on the thing, so you have to watch it locally.
So again, if you want to watch all it's a
big game. You know, Rams Eagles. You got to see
what a baby I turn into when the Yankees play
the Angels or they're playing the Dodgers. You know, when
they're blacked out here in La. SU's crying, I stump
the set sky. You ever see that clip of that

(34:25):
viral Hispanic kid and he's like, you know, they're trying
to go to bed. They're like, it's time for you
to go to bed. That's how I feel in my game.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
That was me Saturday and Raider Nation in Southern California.
The whole nation gets to see Raiders vikings. They black
out the Raiders in Southern California. The Raiders aren't even
in La anymore, and we're still getting black That's a
problem that needs to be fixed.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
That's the weakest when that happens as a sports is
too many teams.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, it's a nightmare. It really is.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
It really does suck because you get so pumped and
you can't watch it.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
That's the that's sod of liking to make you met.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
All right, Hey, we got more coming on wretch in
for DP. We're gonna talk some NFL. We'll tell you
not just how you watch. I want to talk some
wide receivers and how do you see this unfolding with
IUK CD, LAMB, Jamar Chase A lot of these guys
I know like you had not playing yet. Uh, we'll
get to that and all your feedback and phone calls
next CNR on FSR.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
And put on your Mike welcome back shows on How
Can I Forget?

Speaker 3 (35:34):
I heard that Mike's studio, Mike runs this place, was
saying that his computer was haunted. Mike, who runs this place?
So anyway, we're lying for Mercedes Benz Studios, Cavino and
Rich super pumped about prizes. Next hour again Showtime Mahomes
Trivia Mahomes.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
I saw him in the kitchen. Mahomes was eating a.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Big security details. You see how many guards in the kitchen, and.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
It's your chance with mahomes to win a CNR on
FSR coveted swiggy perfect for your summertime. Sit back in
on wine with your swiggy. It's a really nice stainless
steel water bottle. Your chance to win next hour. But
thanks again for hanging out with us. We appreciate you
very much. You know, let me hit you with a

(36:16):
baseball thought real quick. Now, I know they're sort of
in the wildcard mix because most teams are with that
new Major League Baseball extra third wildcard the last season
or so the Giants are.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
I think they're like.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Two games or three games out of the wildcard. Let
me check real quick for you. Giants are two and
a half games out of the wildcard. They're sixty one
and sixty. And I know they weren't itching to make
a deal with the deadline and they just signed Blake Snell.
But you remember how bad he was struggling for his
new team. Yeah, and it was like, yo, it might
be the bust of this offseason's free agency. Then Blake

(36:55):
Snell's trash. Not only did they throw that no hitter
in his last four starts, twenty seven innings, zero point
nine to nine ERA and forty five strikeouts. So talk
about a guy that just took a second to find
his zone turned it around. Yeah, And I wonder if
there's teams that had the framework of a deal during

(37:17):
the deadline and they're like, yeah, you forget.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
It, we don't.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
I don't know that are regretting it now because I
think a guy like Blake Snell would have put a
team like your Yankees over the top.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Well he said that they never really gave him that
high of an offer. So I don't know every story's
gonna be different, but I'm thinking during the deadline after him,
did the Giants really entertain anything for Snell? Because you know,
you don't do you sign a guy and then six
months later like say later. I mean the Mets did
it right. Within within a year, the Mets pitching staff
was gone. I was like, y'all later, Erlander, Hey later, Surezer.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
So it's happened before.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
But it is interesting to see how when someone's just
good and you're like, yo, did they lose it?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
They could get it back real quick.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Not everybody, not everyone, not everybody, but it is nice
to see yeah, for sure. No, it's not nice to
see my Yankees getting beat twelfth to two by the
White Sox.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
That's baseball for you, man. They're saying that nasty Nester.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
This hasn't to do it yesterday, but it has to
do a pitching nasty nester's insanity moments over. Is he
just like a rotation guy? Now, yeah, he's not nasty anymore.
But we're seeing stroman kind of crawl out of that
problematic area that you speak of.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
That was like mildly rude Nester, not as nasty as he's.
Guy's not nasty anyone. So yeah, the great ones find
a way out of it. That's the point.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
And I say it every year. In the beginning of
the season, there'll be a star player that their stats
are trash and you're like, yo, what happened. By the
end of one hundred and sixty two games, it.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
All evens out. You know.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
The home run hitters have their thirty five, forty something fifth.
The pitchers that are cy young type of guys, they
could start one to four with a five ra you blink.
After the All Star break, y'all do, their era is
down to the low threes again.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Happens.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
By the way, I mentioned before that the worst feeling
is when you sit down all excited to watch your
team play baseball, football, whatever, and they happen to be
playing maybe the local market or whatever, and it's blacked out.
Like the weakest feeling ever, when there's a blackout game
and you don't have the channel at Arizon. I said,
I'm like that kid. I'm like that kid. I just

(39:34):
posted I found the clip. I posted it at Steve
Covino and I'll repost it at Carfino and Rich on
social media so you could see. It totally expresses the
feeling we all have when we can't watch the game.
We just sat down all excited to watch and then
you're scrambling for some sort of questionable link to watch it.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
That feeling. So I do want to.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Talk to NFL because that ST's on my mind, your mind,
everyone's mind. Yeah, But I did have one thought, and
it has to do with is bad sometimes good and
good sometimes bad? You know, we all love that the
story of the Chinese farmer they talk about in the
Tom Brady documentary. It's highlighted there, but we all know

(40:15):
that where it's like, you know, something may appear good,
but it's like, maybe it can be bad, something bad.
Oh man, I'm so sorry, Maybe it could end up
being something good. I just have a sense that a
lot of times when something seems bad in sports or
someone gets the raw deal, sometimes that raw deal makes

(40:38):
them more popular or famous or memorable than if they
were just good. The example would be that pole vaulter
who's junk got caught on the bar.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
That was good for his love life. Probably that guy's
the most popular pole.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Vaulter in the history of pole vaulting, and uh, he's
you know on every social media.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
That's even a backwards culture.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Is the reality that he'd probably be better off and
happier and prouder if he won the gold. Yes, I
don't know, but in our backwards culture and society of
social media likes and viral hype, yeah, he's junk. Hitting
the part was a bigger deal. You know who The
unpopular break answer is ray Gun. So the thought about

(41:27):
that we'll get to it next is bad actually good
