Spotty's here on the videos at Covino and Rich and Rich.
You're in Austin. You're like stone cold Rich Austin.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, that's that's me.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I'm gonna shave my head and grow go tee and
look like Big Micro runs this place.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah he's back. Who the guy who's back? Yeah, he's
back from vacation. I heard that he didn't swim with
the Dolphins, that dolphins swam with him.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
That's what I heard.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh yeah, Mark Cooper or uh yeah, he went swimming
with Dan Marino. By the way, real quick, before you
get into everything going on. When Bart Scott said can't wait,
do you think he knew that that drop would be
played forever?

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I say that one all the time. I love that SoundBite.
I love that gift. I mean it when I say it,
when I express it, I feel like you could see
the steam coming out of my head just like his on.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
That cold night.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Can't wait, can't wait for this weekend? Bring on the Dodgers, Yankees, Dodgers.
You can't ask for more than that. That being said,
I hope you had a Yankees Dodgers sort of weekend
of Francis and Ganu, not a Tim Zu sort of weekend.
Props to the Steelers, the Lions, the Seahawks. I hope
all your teams won, and I hope you're ready for
a double doozy tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Could I pull my best John Mayer?

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
And then by that, I don't means sleep with all
the pop stars of the two thousands or shred of
mean guitar.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
They rich Who has a better as resume of the
early two thousands, John Mayer or Derek Jeter.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh my god, that's a that's a debate that could
take twenty.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Minutes, honestly, and if you don't know what we're talking about,
look it up. Your mind will be blown. It's a
debate for the ages.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
So John Mayer up there with Derek Jeter in the
two thousands for sure. He went on social media and
had a love fest for Francisco Lindore and I want
to echo that sentiment. I'm trying to be a positive
Mets fan. They went way further than anyone would have
ever thought. They brought me thrills and excitement and walk
off home runs and Pete Alonzo and Lindoor and oh

(02:44):
my God, and Grimace and you know my girl and
it's it was a magical season that got cut short.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
But that doesn't mean it wasn't an enjoyable season.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I saw someone hit us up saying they share that
sentiment about their Detroit Tigers.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
They didn't make it too so what a hell of
a run.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
All of these teams brought the boom. In my opinion,
I thought Cleveland played great, they played exciting. Tiger is
another great example. But your Mets, by far, were so
fun it was contagious. Not only did the superstars step
up like Pete, Alonzo and Lindor, but stars emerged Vientos

(03:21):
and Iglesias like you see these guys stepping up in
these big moments. They were a hell of a team.
And again, there was zero expectations for the Mets. I mean,
they're a high profile team, don't get it twisted. They
got a huge payroll, but I didn't expect them to
take it this far, and they turned it around.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
They had a hell of a season.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
They provided a lot of fun and excitement for not
only you as a fan, but every casual baseball fan.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
I mean, as the great Gary Cohen said, from oh
to five to OMG, you know, the team brought a
lot of fun moments. And this was supposed to be
a quote rebuilding year for the Mets because they lost
all those veteran pitchers that they thought were going to
be the answer, remember like Verlander and Scherzer. That seems
like forever ago, but the Mets had banked on those

(04:05):
veteran pitchers to last a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
They didn't even last one year.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
So as a Mets fan, I will say thank you
for keeping me interested.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Thank you for giving me in, you know, while an.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Unsuccessful trip back to New York because I'm the mush,
I got to see friends, I got to see family,
and uh it was awesome. And to quote John Mayer
on social media, thank you Francisco Lindor, and thank you
to the twenty twenty four Mets, unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Is gonna cry? Rich? Is gonna cry? Rich? Were you
secretly at Dodgers Stadium yesterday?

Speaker 3 (04:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I was not, And I thought for a minute that
would be the remedy Daddy J. But apparently your Dodgers
are just too good. The Yankees better have some damn
good pitching if they want to stop that lineup.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Again, and they do.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
The Dodgers are.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
In a zone right now where they're almost automatic for
a five to ten shot spot. Like if the Dodgers
don't score five to seven runs easy.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm shocked. They just have such a stacked lineup.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
But continue on with John Mayer because he did pour
his heart out on social media and it was sort
of at a left field a little bit eh.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
We have a mutual friend with John Mayer. Our buddy
Mark friends with John. Yeah, and he got pulled in
very much during the Grimace streak.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
No joke, John Mayer was all bad. He's like hilarious Grimace.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
And John Mayer is a Mets fan and said, thank
you Lindor for the unbelievable adventure, inspiration and the reminder
to never give up.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
This season was more than enough.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
And he went on to say when I injured my
finger and looked down to see half the nail sheared
off and bleeding, my first thought was, how could I
play the guitar with the other three fingers, because that's
what Lindor would have done, So that's what I did.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think that's awesome, and I think anybody with two
eyes anyway with one eye, don't want to leave out
people rich.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
One eyed Willie.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
We're able to see the passion in which Lindor played
with and how he led that team. He never gave up,
always kept fighting, and it really was inspiring. And that's
coming from me as a Yankees fan. I don't give
a Diddley squad about the Mets. I don't hate on them.
I thought they were a lot of fun. But it
all started with Lindor Man. He gave that team a
reason to fight and a reason to believe.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
And the postseason is a chance to see some of
those players that you don't see day in and day out.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Like I told you before, you loved Won.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Soda, I'm like, you're gonna love onn Sota, Danny g
Was there any players that you saw I want to
marry the way that you said, You know what that
guy's I don't get to see him all the time,
but man, he's a baller.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Because you feel that way about certain guys you see,
Like I.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Didn't know much about Edmund at all, same and he
was the NLCS MVP.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Yeah, what a trade deadline pickup that was. And all
of us were thinking at the time, Oh, that's for
defensive purposes. You know, he's got an okay bat, but
the Dodgers got him for defense. But man, he really delivered.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, seeing some teams day in and day out when
you're watching closely, like, oh wow, that guy he's as advertised.
So I felt that way about Mookie Bets. I feel
like that guy just eat balls. Of course Otani, but
Otani's numbers are just sickening. So Edmund had to just
do miraculous things to win MVP because you could very

(07:20):
easily have given any MVP to a Tani.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Well let's move on then, because congrats to your Mets, rich,
congrats to all the teams that fought hard and played
well and provided us with a lot of excitement this postseason.
But it comes down to the two powerhouses. It's what
the casual fan wanted. Two Titans, two heavyweight fighters. People
like the heavyweights, and you're getting them. You're getting the superstars,
you're getting the big names. And MLB has to have

(07:46):
an MLB if you know what I mean. When you
think about this matchup, Oh, a.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Major league be in their pants.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Swing because this is going to be a ratings grab.
This is going to be a money grab. Tickets are
through the roof. I have so many questions when it
comes down to this message.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Before the Mets were even officially out of it, I
saw promos of like Otani judge, Like, well.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Every player matches up for every Otani, there's a judge
for every Bets, There's a Soto for every Taoscar, there's
a Stanton, Like this is wild, dude, This is like
a Godzilla movie, you know what I mean, like two
Beast of Don teams fighting for the championship and I'm
so pumped about it.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Did you just quote a Polo Creed?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yes, yeah, this is a monster movie. I honestly, I
unknowingly did. I absolutely did.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
The Italian Stallion versus Apollo Creed. It's like a manster movie.
It is like a monster movie.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
When you see the superstar names you know in this series,
I have a lot of questions. They're almost like things
that make you go hm, which we'll get to next,
anything that made you go hmmm in the world of
sports and entertainment, especially NFL. But these tickets are so expensive, understandably, right,
you got the two biggest teams, two biggest stars going

(09:05):
at it. But how much are you willing to spend?
Is my question. There's no ticket under one thousand dollars
as of just a few hours ago. They're only gonna
keep going up. Right, are you less of a fan
if you don't go? Do you give up your rent
to go to these games? Like, dude, there's so many
much ticket you might as well go to a teleishoft concer.

(09:28):
You've more entertaining. It is ridiculous when you think about
this matchup coming up, and you know we could start
off by talking about that.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
What are your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I do think that when it comes to pitching, I
don't think any of it really does matter when you're
facing the Dodgers lineup. But I do believe the Yankees
have better pitching. I think you'll see a big performance
from Garrett Cole and ro Don and a lot of
these guys stepping up. I think you're gonna see some
magical moments. I think that, like I said, they there

(09:58):
is no favorite. In my opinion, I think they match
up nicely. I don't think the Dodgers, like you talked
to the casual fan, because sho Hay made so many headlines.
They're like, dude, the Dodgers got this. I'm like, I
don't know, man. The Yankees stack up too. I really
believe that the Yankees have a really great shot here.
It's their twelfth World Series going against each other. They're

(10:19):
first since nineteen eighty one with the Dodgers won in
six games. This could be number twenty eight. If the
Yankees win, I'm super pumped about that. But again, your
initial thoughts on this matchup before we get into things
that make you go hmmm. I thought it was an
incredible postseason. I thought the best two teams made it.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I think the Dodgers are unbelievable, but the Yankees are
no slouch. But you know what, here's a random observation.
I thought the Dodgers celebrated kind of week in the
locker room, Like when when they were making their speeches
and they were popping the champagne.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
I was like, that was kind of weak to me.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Danny G how'd you git Danny talking smack?

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Do they bump each other in the junker?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Again, here's my observation, Like, it's because it's always great
to see your team celebrate, right or wrong.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
That's part of it.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
When you see your team celebrating, and when you know
all these backstories and where they came from. When you
realize that Anthony Volpi was at the two thousand and
nine World Series parade and he was a little kid,
and now he's in the World Series and he's celebrating.
When you see your team celebrating that you wrote it
for all year, it's a great feeling. So I see
Aaron Boone there in the locker room, in the clubhouse

(11:36):
and he's making a speech and he's like, you.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Know, we're gonna win the World Series.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Champagne goes off right on time, right on Q, just
like professionals would have it done right for the camel,
perfectly done. The Dodgers go in there and they started
sloppy about it. It's like four people talking here, the
bottles popping, and then and then they're like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yankees, one aim up already because they celebrate better.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, you know what better celebration advantage Yankees. So I'm
already keeping score rich advantage Yanks. Todder celebration was kind
of all over the place, in my opinion, Say, Danny,
if you're trying to decide, well, am I really gonna
hate Cavin over the next couple of weeks. I think
within five minutes, I think you're realizing you guys are

(12:22):
gonna be at odds.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's gonna be great. Dodgers Yankees.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Look, I feel like I feel like Aaron Boone went
up there and got graded on their celebration. He went
up there with a sense of leadership and he's like,
I'm Aaron Boone and this is awesome, and now we
celebrate and everyone cheered. Dave Roberts went in there, He's like,
what's going on, Hey, this guy's talking. Wait hold on, guys, hey,
don't be popping bottles.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
I'm not done yet.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Like it was just little, it wasn't camera friendly and
ready for me. I didn't like it. And again, wait,
that's just a random observation.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I'm just ready here that Glaber Torres better at popping
champagne than Ti Oscar.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
So another point by the labor Torres is on fire.
So like when we said you go, you.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Couldn't save clown masks though in the Yankees during you're celebrating, Okay, okay,
see I did notice that, and I did like that.
That was funny.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
They're like, is this an insane clown posse? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
And it's funny because he he was Yamamoto at first
wearing the mask, and uh, I think it was Edmunds.
I think it was Edmund who said, man, I'm not
used to that guy showing any emotion at all. He's
running around with a clown mask on.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
That was Mookie Betts that said that, I believe that's right.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
You're right, you're right.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
And so traditionally traditionally h Japanese players.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
They are a little more composed with their celebrations, more
disciplined than you know American players. But even so Otani
in the dugout, joking around, screaming, and his teammate and
coaches of years that, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That was dope. And I'll tell you this. Once the
bottles were popped the Dodgers, I'll give you that. The
Dodgers went crazy and celebrated like they should, and they
had the masks on. There was one dude walking around
jacked and he was all tatted up. I don't know
who that was. Yeah, the rock was there, apparently, I
don't know who was there. I'll tat it up like that.
But again, you can't help but notice how much fun

(14:09):
these teams were having and the celebration, and to see
how much it still means to these professionals that get
paid millions of dollars to be there. Man, that's always fun.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know those those memes you see with the map
of who's rooting for who? Yeah, I saw Southern California's Dodgers,
New York New Jersey Yankees, and then the rest of
the country.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
It was a big asteroid, like just destroy the.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, I wonder how the rest of the world, who
hates on both organizations is gonna watch this. Do they
pick an alliance or do they really stay neutral and
not care at all? They're gonna watch that's the interesting
part about it. And just as a human rich you're
always going to pick a side somewhere in the middle
of the fight.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
It almost feels like a hater would root like for
both teams to lose somehow, like I hate both these teams.
I want to see them both stink it up.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
I'll be honest. That's the social media sentiment.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
And Danny g I'm sort of torn because I'm a
New Yorker at heart, but now I live in LA
and I heard my buddy in New York say, I
can't be dealing with all these Yankee.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Fans twenty eight rounds.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
But then again, I don't know if I want to
deal with all my softball buddies that are like lawyers.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
So I don't know. I don't annoying to me, That's
what it is.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's clearly the two best teams are in the world series, clearly,
but they're two Titans.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Titan there's no.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Like underdog story there's no like like someone to like
root for to really push through and take on the
Titan's true, there's no David versus Goliath. There's no one's
just it's really just Titan versus Titan. You're like, Okay, who.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Are you rooting for the seven hundred million dollar Japanese
greatest player of all time? Or Aaron Judge multi time envy?

Speaker 2 (15:57):
But hey man, that's like a like a super fight.
So you're getting ready to watch a sexy story. Here,
give me a sexy story. The sexy story is which
one of these Titans wins. There is no underdog though
you're right about don't you don't.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Have a Latino recording artist on your team? Or come on,
what's going on?

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Exactly?

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well, spotty. The only thing I would say, in being
a diehard Dodger fan, I honestly didn't think that they
were going to get this deep into the postseason earlier
in the year because Betts was out for so long injured.
Because of how many pitchers they went through and how
many pitchers were injured, so they did overcome a lot
as far as injuries.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Drama in the beginning of the season. No, yeah, I'm
just admitting I didn't think.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
They also did have the best record in the National League,
and the Yankees had the best in the Americans. So
there really is no like, oh man, they really overcame.
They're the two best teams.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
You're right, we're lacking, as spots said, we're lacking the
All right, who's the underdog?

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Who does the casual fan root for?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Because you could say if the Yankees twenty seven rings Yankees.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
fIF team, you're also telling me that you don't want
to see Tyson versus holy Field. You're getting the two
best fighters in their prime going out.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
You know what I mean say that.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
What I'm saying is there's no storyline. Like I said,
the meme doesn't like Cavino. The whole joke is the
whole country would root for an asteroid to hit Earth
more than either one of these teams.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
But you don't always need an underdog, is my point.
You know, that's when people tune in. If you got
Fury and Wilder going together at their prime, you're tuning
in because there's two Titans. If you got if you
got Fury and uh or if you got Anthony Joshua
and Andy Ruiz. Yeah, I mean it's fun to have
an underdog, and it's a fun underdog story. But people

(17:42):
aren't tuning in for.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
That, of course.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
And I and I agree with you one hund percent
that it's going to be a Battle of the Titans.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, class, class, you might as well have gone with class.
Clash of the Titans.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
You might as well class feel your destiny, you might
as well go with clash.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Maybe I should have went with clash are the Titans.
But all right, so you got Yankees, you got Dodgers.
Let me throw one one little fun fact that you
But I said, a lot of people will be like,
f the Yankees. They haven't one of fifteen years. The
Dodgers won four years ago. So it's not like, oh shucks,
Dodgers have it won since eighty eight.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
No, they wanted to that.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Okay, but what about all the people we have to
hear NonStop say it was a Mickey Mouse bubble trophy.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
It doesn't count, they do say that. I don't buy
into that. I don't either, Yeah, I don't. I appresonally
don't hear that, though I know you do.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Well, trulet me.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Give you the odds and then we'll take a break
and we'll take all your feedback and we'll also go
over things that made you go hmm. In the NFL
A lot of NFL this weekend and college football. But
right now, the Dodgers are minus one thirty. Yankees are
plus one ten. If you're a gambler, you know that
that is. There really is no favorite that is as
minimal as a favorite as you could get. However, odds

(18:55):
makers are saying that it will go six or seven games.
The odds are favoring six or seven, like this will
go the distance, So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
We will see my other observations again. When ticket prices
are through the roof Fox Sports Radio Nation, what would
be your limit?

Speaker 4 (19:15):
I just saw this.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
According to the New York Post LA tickets, the cheapest
for LA tickets right now little over one thousand dollars
thousand and seventy four including fees, including fees just to
get in. Yeah right now, sure right. Seats start at
nine eighty one minus fees in New York, so they're
like over one thousand dollars for the weakest seat in

(19:36):
the house right now. I don't know how much you're
willing to spend, Like you said, dannyg Am I supposed
to pay my rent or go to the game, and
then you feel like less of a fan if you
don't go. So there's that guilture. I'd be like, what
do I do? But again, these are great problems to
have because here's how I'm looking at it, too, Rich,
before we get into it. You know, for me personally,
it's not about Steve. Let's talk about Steve. Talk about Steve.

(20:01):
I want to talk about Steve.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Steve.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Hey, Hi, he's the problem with Steve.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
This is where I'm from the East Coast going against
where I live the West side. Okay, my goal as Steve,
I'm not just the guy here on Fox Sports Radio.
I'll stand My goal, Rich, is to try to hit
one in LA one in New York. I don't know

(20:29):
how I'm gonna do it, but as they say, do
it Rockapella.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
I'm gonna do my best. Better take some of that
insurance money they're giving you for your car, Yo, Danny
G I might and this might have to be a
dolo solo mission. Like my girlfriend's like, am I going
with you? I'm like, I'm trying to sneak in any
way I could. I got like a VIP credential, Like
I'm waning, Garth. I'm just trying to fake my way
in somehow. I don't know how.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Give me the be Like, if you can name three
Dodgers and three Yankees, you're coming otherwise later.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Oh, then it becomes a question of do I take
my girlfriend would here smoking hot bod or do.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I take my daughter?

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Right, your brother's a huge five brother. Right. If I'm
in New York, aust that's an easy one. But if
I'm out here in La. Yeah, so anyway, it's a battle.
I'm pumped a batbout your bud, Danny g.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, what about me?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
I sure you would like to go so anyway? Rich
any other thoughts before we get into things that make
you go hmmm.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
I think if you spend money on a ticket of
that nature for someone that doesn't really care, it's like
that girl at the Super Bowl sitting on the second
row who is like looking at Instagram and doesn't care
about the game.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah no, no, you're getting two maximum, right, I mean,
I don't care how baller you are.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Anything else is a waste of money. Man.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
These tickets are gonna be real expensive, real expensive, because again,
clashing the Titans d B.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Just just a question?

Speaker 6 (21:56):
This is this is your top of the Mountain Yankees
in the World Series right against the Dodgers, Danny, is
it the same with you would like Lakers, Celtics or
like a Raiders super Bowl? Would would that top this?
Or where is this in terms of those with your teams?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
That's a good question. I think this would be right
underneath if the Raiders went to another show.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Sure, yeah, yeah, this is the super Bowl for me, man.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
Because if there is the number one, whatever your whatever,
your I guess everest is in terms of to the top,
you have to do it.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
You have to do it.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
If there's another one, if maybe they weren't playing the Yankees,
or they weren't playing the Dodgers vice versa, maybe you
can hold off of it and not want to pay it.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
But if this is Numero uno, you have to do it.
I got to get to at least one of these games.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
My goal, you know what, dB, I've been to both.
You know that's not a brag, it's just but my
team never wins. As you know, the mush go to
a super Bowl as a spectacle, it's amazing. It's an
experience that I'm so grateful, but it's a lot of
corporate people, not the super fan base. You go to
a Baseball World Series or Champion and Chip game, the

(23:01):
fans are there, and you're gonna be surrounded by a
bunch of other Yankee fans, can you know?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
And then if you owe the.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Dodgers game, you're gonna be an anime territory and it's daunting.
So there, I think it's more fun to go to
a World Series game than a Super Bowl. If you
told me Rich, do you rather go to Mets World
Series or nine or Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'd go Mets World Series.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
All right?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, that being said, your thoughts at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. But like we do every Monday,
it's time for things that made you go hmmm, things.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
That make you go, things that make your goal.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Now, we don't limit you to the NFL, but it's
most the NFL. However, some great fights, some great baseball,
or it could be in the world of entertainment, like
maybe you saw a smile too over the weekend. You know,
you know what made me go hmmm. Be dialing at
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Your thoughts from
this Weekend eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and

(23:55):
hit us up on social media at Covino and Rich.
I want to keep it off, Dicky.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, I got a bunch of football stuff. But you
said anything.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
My wife is convinced that if you like movies like Terrifier,
then you're demented deep down inside.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm like, no, sometimes people just like that stuff.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
I'm not saying she's wrong, but neither are you. I
think it's a little bit of both. That both could
be right, right, that's right, Sam, two could be right,
that's correct. Yeah, both right.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
But but my wife is like, if you could imagine,
if some director could imagine song a woman in half
by her private parts and there do all the you know,
scalping people and all this Terrifier horror stuff. She's like,
you're demented to want to watch it? And I go,
isn't there a curiosity? It's like remember when you were
kid Camno, remember Faces of Death? You would rent that
at the video Star?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah, and most kids did. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I had it at one point. Am I a crazy, weird,
whacked out demented kid. No, you're right, I was just curious.
We all watched where were those websites in the early
two thousands, late nineteen hundred, it's like banged up and
what's that other one? Yeah, the rotten dot com. We
looked at that stuff. Were we bad people for it?
No curiosity, He's just.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Curious, all right. Well, of all the observations, let me
start with let me start with Russell Wilson. Mike Tomlin
saying how he wants to get a look of everything
he has. He wants to take a look at Russ.
He already got his look at Justin Fields. The thing
that made me go, hmmm, is Russ played well?

Speaker 3 (25:19):
So what is it?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Where does that leave Mike Tomlin? Now, what does Justin
Fields not have? It's like me in the dating world,
like you know, when you're dating, it's like, what does
she have that I don't have? What does Russ have
that Justin Fields wasn't giving them?

Speaker 2 (25:31):
It's interesting, Well, I mean I think he played really well.
But would you say, like he really lit it up,
like where the decision's easy?

Speaker 3 (25:39):
No.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
But what I'm saying is like, Danny g do you
think moving forward? Tomlin is now like, oh man, now
I got two guys. It's like those are good problems. Yeah,
it's a good problem.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
They're in first place right now, that team is five
and two. I would not have predicted that.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I thought they were gonna be sort of mediocre trash
if anything. And they're five and two and Russ look
good and Justin Fields is like than Rogers.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
It's a good problem to have to have two capable quarterbacks.
As we've seen already, quarterbacks go down, and we know
how many quarterbacks we went through in the league last season.
So just keep both of them happy.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, And if quarter back went down yesterday in Deshaun Watson,
that's another thing that makes you go home because there's
so much controversy around him and the booing that took place,
and how Miles Garrett stood up for him and Jameis
Winston stood up for him.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I even heard SVP say, you know, booing for an
injury is never a cool thing, but it's like, you know,
I don't think people are booing for the injury. They're
booing for this guy's history. They're booing for the karma
that they think that he's been given. They're booing for
the quote unquote people's lives he affected. I don't think
they're booing for the injury. I think that's a misconcepts

(26:47):
he owned.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I think, I mean, he's not a murderer. But I
heard Ja Stu on the Gottlieb Show.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, hey, what do you think they're? Jay Still, that's
why gotleeb.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
That's a great God, keep it going.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
You should run with hold on Green Bay Wisconsin basketball. Everybody.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Hey, I don't think you should come back for hour
two of the show.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Okay, so he asked Jay Stu, and Jay Stu compared
it to OJ without the murder, just saying, how when
you don't feel like justice is served? When you heard
stuff like OJ got roughed up in prison or then
ended up going to jail for something else, you feel
like justice has served and an injury that's not going
to affect him, he still gets his money. There's a

(27:29):
little feel feeling of justice in a way. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Maybe I don't even look at it that deep. I'm like, well,
I'm not gonna have any sympathy towards this dude, whether
or not it's very quarterback. I'm not gonna sympathize his injury.
He's okay, I'm not wishing death upon anybody. I'm not
wishing anything horrible on someone. Yeah, he got hurt, they
boot him. I mean, it's not like he was a lovable,
likable guy. How's anybody surprised by that? And how could

(27:55):
any of his teammates be offended by it? The guy
was not a likable dude.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
In fact, if you're.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Just a franchise guy, how about you're just a fan.
You take all the controversy out of it. Right, we
gave up Baker Mayfield for this. It's been terrible for
the organization. Take away all the drama. It's been no buenos.
So I don't blame fans for booing, and they're not booing,
but let's make it clear because they're not booing for
the injury. They're just booing because they're unhappy with this

(28:22):
dude and everything he brought.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Well, we have more.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Things that made us go hmm, NFL, I got a
toll more. I want to talk about Kyle Shanahan reprimanding,
brock Purty. We got to talk Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
But let's go to dB for an updated damn buy er.
What's up? Dbate?

Speaker 6 (28:35):
And there's more news on the Niners, As the NFL
network is saying wide receiver Brandon Ayuk suffered to torn
ACL and mcl in his right knee and that loss
to the Chiefs and there could possibly be more damage
in that knee.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
He has done for the season, woo.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
And I'm excited to hang with everyone in Seattle next Friday,
the first and we said before.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Auburn on the twenty second of November.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
So lots of fun broadcast coming up, trying to be
the most interactive show on Fox Sports Radio in fact, anywhere.
Cavino and Rich Now more things that made.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Us go hmm, do it every Monday. Things that make
you go hmm, We'll take your phone calls. Could be
in football, baseball, whatever, whatout.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Rich, how do you feel about You're what you're hearing about?

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Kyle Shanahan lecturing Brock Party for five straight minutes, and
I said, mean it's and uh.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
That makes me say means he needs? Is that how
they say in Texas?

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, mayn it's.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Five straight mean it's nam mean, it's we'll have the
ready in me and it's I got the fixings.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
So I mean, what is it gonna do other than
taking from Shanahan? But my my thing to maybe go hm,
was I do a lot of Brock pretty defending. And
this was the first game. I don't know if Steve
Spagnola has this guy rattled. I know, uh, Tom Brady,
he was giving props to Spagdala, but it Brock party.
It was the first game where he looked like mister irrelevant.

(30:07):
He was making bad decisions, not not crisp crunchy passes.
Like everything was a little off with Brock yesterday. And
maybe you say bad game, maybe you say Brocks loseing
the focus or maybe a little sophomore.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Well this is this third year now slump.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
But the one thing about the forty nine ers come
you out that they have working in their favor. That
NFC West is such what are the kids call like, Ohio,
the toilet.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Order negative one thousand? Riz, Oh it's negative one thousand.
Now that's the new thing, Yeah, the Rizz.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
The NFC West is negative one thousand, riz toilet order
to the point where and Dan Beyer will back me up. Now,
with DK Metcalf banged up, they have to go play Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
If the Niners beat the Cowboys, they're both four and four.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Like the Niners or Seahawks will win this division at
probably nine and eight or ten and seven. No one's
great in the division. So the Niners are somehow staying afloat.
And if they get past this week, then they have
the bye week and maybe that's where San Francisco makes
their push, or you could say the Super Bowl hangovers
reel and they're ft. I don't know, because they at

(31:16):
times you're like, dah, they are the forty nine ers.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, and then other times like they've faced a lot
of injury. In fact, Dan Byer didn't include this in
his update, but Malik Mustafa is recovering from a bruised
ego after getting smashed by Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Dude, that guy looks The.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Guy looks like a chiseled atlas and dad bod Mahomes
ran over him and he said, I guess that's my
welcome to the NFL moment to see, yeah, and then
Mahomes growled at him.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I'm here.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
I love Rich's optimism, but I think yesterday was a
telltale day and it's it's I know it's Andy Reid
off of a bye and but just to see now
you lose Ayuk, there's no.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Clear return on McCaffrey.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
Devo got sick yesterday I just I know each week
you try to tell yourself, Okay, this is the week
it turns around.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, but I'm not I'm not trying to be all positive, dB.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
I'm saying that your team and the rest of that division,
no one being stand out, gives them this like let
this little window where they could still like if there
was a if the Seahawks were playing like the Lions
or the Vikings or someone that had one loss, and
it be like, man, it's it's gonna be a fill.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
It's like a game agenda. You keep pulling out pieces.
Eventually the tower is gonna fall. Your team is supposed
to be the best in the NFC this year. And
the diapers, yeah, yeah, they really do. You know what,
Rich Yesterday's Dodo diapers even worse. Maybe Brock Perdy's a
huge Mets fan. He was just distracted yesterday. Things that
made you go. You brought up Aaron Rodgers, Dude, he

(32:45):
looks so defeated. You brought up the fact that last
year with Zach Wilson, at this time of the year
they were four and three, they're two and five. They
look so bad, dude, they look so defeated. Aaron Rodgers
has no answers. Russell Wilson played way better than he did.
So that made me say because it said to me, like,

(33:06):
when does he start getting blamed for this stuff?

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I mean when the season started, the Jets were minus
one forty in Vegas to make the playoffs, like favorite
to be in the postseason. Right now they're minus three
p forty two miss the playoffs. Like this Jets experiment
is not going well.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
And dude, to add insult to injury, he pulled the
old well I call it the old Rich Davis on
national television. He pulled the old Rich Davis. Bro he
was picking digging for gold and then he ate it.
At least that's what they're saying on camera.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
I don't know. I saw the still images.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
I haven't Oh, I know, I saw the video clip. Dude,
tell me he did it. And you know, whether he
threw three interceptions or not. I don't mean to throw
Gardner Minshew under the bus, but against the Broncos, the
cameras caught him doing it. You kind of on the sidelines.
I'm like, what is up with these quarterbacks who throw
interceptions then go to the sideline and do that.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Maybe that's like to break the curse or something. Maybe
that's a football sona Sana coo. I was a bugger
eating little kid. I mean, but doing it on the
sideline of an NFL game. I mean, you're a grown
man and you know the spotlights on you. That's what's
crazy about this three. You don't do the old rolling
flick like Dan Byer does.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Flick.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah, pick and flick. dB knows what I'm talking about.
Everybody does in the update room, grown man on TV.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
We don't put him on the wall.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
You just if it's a dry one, you roll it
up and you see how far you can throw it
across the room.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, I try to hit I was saying with one.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Don't usually is it that the hand? You usually like
pat Big Mike on the back. Okay, Mike can see it.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah Yeah, Sometimes I wipe it on Big MIC's back.
Sometimes I want wipe it under my Big MIC's desk.
But dude, I don't know if everybody has seen this. Yeah,
the Jets stinking like a blinkoln We already established that, right.
But then Aaron Rodgers was caught picking, digging, and then eating.

(35:02):
He was doing something bro. You could say he was
biting his nails or whatever, but something was going on.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Let me give you one more thing that maybe go hmmm,
the NFL Week seven that NFC North is so good.
I'm just trying to figure out who is the odd
man out? Because Lions win, so technically they're in first
place at five and one the Vikings. That was a
close game. They're five and one. Green Bay. Nice win

(35:29):
over the Texans, that was a close one. Aaron Aaron
Jordan loved, looked great. They're what five and two now,
that whole division is fantastic. And the Bears same thing.
So who is the odd man out? If you got
to pick right now because all four are not making
the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Wow, that's a tough one, man. I'll go.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'll go Bears first, promising as they've been. They look great,
they made incredible improvements, but the Bears. To answer your question,
NFC North powerhouses, and Rich mentioned the Lions Vikings that
was a battle, came down to a field goal and
Jake Bates this made me goal hmm, because we're experiencing something, guys.
I don't know if everybody's realizing this, but Jake Bates,

(36:10):
after hitting the field goal for the win, brought the boom.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
Now what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
He brought the boom. That's what he did. He brought
the boom.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
If you guys don't know what that is, if you
say that, I'm walking out big No, no, no, that's Big.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Justice and AJ.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
They're the costco guys, the father and son duo that
are sweeping the nation so much so that you're seeing
NFL players do their dance. They're just online TikTok celebrities,
and you're seeing SNL now parody TikTok stars. So it's
an even bigger thought. Meaning where SNL used to parody

(36:52):
or imitate presidents or movie stars or big time celebrities,
they're getting those big time inspirations from social media and
we're seeing it in the NFL as well.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Remember when radio hosts used to be the influencers.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Yeah, oh of course, one of my buddies was parodied
on SNL back in the day, you know, because radio
stars were a big deal. But social media killed the
radio star for the most part, not here on Fox
Sports Radio, but the rest of radio. So I thought
that was kind of interesting too. I think that made
me say, hmm, it's like today's real star is a

(37:30):
social media star. I know that sounds crazy to think,
but we're seeing them do that dance in the NFL now,
So if you don't know what it is, it's when
they're flexing like this and then you're just kicking back
and forth. And you saw it at the end of
the Lions game. Something else that made me go, hmm,
Danny g I was saying, we'll take your phone calls.
Everybody share some observations. Patrick Mahomes, dude, First of all,

(37:56):
that run he had, that forty yard run that he had.
It's kind of interesting how he could totally knock over
Malik Mustafa, give him the shoulder, make him look so stupid,
make them look bad, growl on top of him. Yeah
take that, yeah right, But he could stop and everyone

(38:17):
has to sort of back off because it's Patrick Mahomes.
And that's sort of what I got out of that
forty yard run. I know he made a sweet move, Danny,
but he also looked like he was slowing up and
they're sort of paying respect to Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah. Well, all our favorite defenses right now, we watch
them pull up and try to levitate so that they
don't put their weight on a quarterback. And they're so
scared to touch the quarterback, especially near the sideline.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So you could say prompts to Mahomes for manipulating the system,
or you know, like he stops kind of and everyone's thinking, well,
we're not gonna hit him, and then he keeps running
or do you say, you know, that's kind of weak,
and then he could just run somebody over when he
wants to man Mahomes. Quarterbacks in the NFL getting a
lot of leeway, a lot of nothing new, but we

(39:01):
saw it. We saw it pretty significantly this weekend, and
then that makes you think of something else getting your
phone calls. Next the Dadbod Rich references before they're saying,
it's Dad Bod season. Yo, we know it's postseason, it's
NFL season, but it's Dad Bod season. I thought it
was like hooded sweatshirt season, zip up season. They're saying,

(39:24):
let the Dadbod shine because when you see the side
by side between Mahomes.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
And Mustafa, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
This night and day, Mahomes looks like he had a
pizza and a six pack before the game, and there's
no shame in that. He looks like the everyday physically
everyday guy, Mustafa's ripped. He looks like a mini DK
Metcalf and he just pummeled that dude this weekend. So
is the dad bought in makes you say, hmm, makes
me want to be lazy a little bit? All right, now,

(39:53):
your phone calls and your thoughts Fox Sports Radio Nation,
your observations from the weekend. Sometimes that chiseled like tightens
you up. So maybe he's not as loose as a Mahomes. Well,
and that's true, but you also see the the the
what is it, the hypocrisy, the irony. I don't know
where Mahomes could just totally level this dude, but everyone

(40:16):
has to back off Mahomes sometimes spotty.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
It makes you lay on your couch for too long
with acid reflux too.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Dude, Right, Mahomes basically said, all right, running the ball,
running running, running, all right, stop, don't hit me, just kidding,
running running, running, running, That's really what he did. Hey,
site guys, Hey, I know, thanks for easing up. Now
he starts running again, Like, how's that fair?

Speaker 3 (40:38):
DP?

Speaker 2 (40:38):
You agree with what I'm say, you should put it
in better words, but that's what my eye.

Speaker 6 (40:41):
I can't actually I can't because that's exactly what happened.
And even the over pursuing, you know that if it's
anything borderline. Heck, the Chiefs got to a Super Bowl
because of an outer bounds hit against the Bengals in
the AFC Championship game. You feel that Kansas City's gonna
get those calls, especially if it's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
So you ease up at that point. And he completely
took advantage.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Of a flag on the Niners just for thinking about that, right, No, seriously,
just for thinking. But he had a game really exposed
riches forty nine ers. And now we go to your
phone calls real quick. Uh, and again remember your phone
calls for the last one standing.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
We do that.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Next, we got super recede in Detroit. Can you come
in for the Lions props? They brought the boom. What's
going on, buddy?

Speaker 7 (41:31):
Oh, it's all good. I'll roll with the Lions, bro,
I'll roll with the Ravens and Pittsburgh. So actually I
want to I want to talk about Russell Wilson and
how he needs him and Mike Tomlinissa cuss everybody out.
That was fucking garbage. I mean, cuts him out, I mean,
go look good I would go off of each and
every last individual.

Speaker 8 (41:52):
Trying to pressure to coach and trying to downplay the
big brother that won the Super Bowl. Pales is the
little brother learn from the big brother? Big brother?

Speaker 9 (42:05):
Bruh.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
I don't watch a Big Brother. I hate that show.
I don't like the Golden Power of Veto. I hate
that corny show. But thank you, super receded. No, I
feel you, man. And as far as Russell Wilson, hey,
if he does it again, then maybe we did sleep
on him. Maybe he's better. He's got more legs than
we thought. He looked better than Aaron Rodgers. Dude, Aaron
Rodgers looks sad. He went from has anyone said this yet?

(42:30):
He's a bad man too. He's a sad man.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
Quote me on that.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Get that on Fox Sports radio dot com. Thank you,
thank you, Elijah, thank you Sager. Again, you can see
what you hear Fox Sports Radio dot Com and at
Fox Sports Radio. And we're gonna go to Kevin now,
Kevin in Washington State. We do it every Monday. Things
that made you go, hmmm.

Speaker 10 (42:56):
So I feel the same way with the Steelers. But
why are they not running a two quarterbackshit? So he's
got Gibbs in Montgomery Detroit. Right, you got a chain
and you got Mozart and Miami, Like, I think they'd
be a better team if they were the first ever
dual quarterback system.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Maybe you're going to do it, but maybe that's the takeaway, right,
maybe they do. I don't know, not dB An, No,
that does not work.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yeah, because as a quarterback, you need to get into
a rhythm and so that's you know, unless you're really
vomiting all over the field, which then you're pulled for
the quarterback to come in for you to hopefully not vomit.
You just don't want to ruin a quarterback's flow and
confidence as well, like a it's a big deal.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
I mean especially too because the quarterback you're a leader
of your team, and if they're only in the huddle
half the time, you can have a package for justin
fields say hey, I get it, we get in, you know,
in the red zone.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
Maybe we're going to come in.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
We'll do this package and defenses are going to have
to prepare for it. But you can't do a split.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
You guys, you guys nail that. It's a wishy washy
sort of way to be it's like, well, who's leading
this team? You got to make a decision there. Uh,
Dan Byer nailed it. You could still incorporate some sort
of player package to incorporate both of them. But great question.
Thank you, Kevin. Uh, let's go to Nick in New
York City, bring the boom on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
What's up? Man?

Speaker 9 (44:14):
Do not confuse me with the people in the city.
I'm from upstate New York.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, boy, what's up? So you will have up here
like you wear work boots to weddings?

Speaker 4 (44:22):
I know.

Speaker 7 (44:23):
No, No, I'm.

Speaker 9 (44:24):
Not that country. I'm not from Look you can look
up Burne, New York. I'm not from there. I'm from Albany.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Dude, that's from my family's from My family's from upstate Oneida,
Vernon all I know.

Speaker 9 (44:34):
I'm telling you everyone up here has a family member
that will wear Kimberland or Carhart.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Yeah. Yeah, there it is. That's it. Okay.

Speaker 9 (44:44):
I have to say that with Russell Wilson and and
everything with him, Uh, it wasn't that bad. What were
you guys talking about before I got I got off track?

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Well, these are we do it every Monday. Things that
make you go just your observation, any observations, things that
stood out to you in the world of sports and entertainment.
And we were just talking about how why are we
not doing a two quarterback sort of system in Pittsburgh
because Russell Wilson sort of showed he's got some games.

Speaker 9 (45:11):
Yeah, it never worked. Remember when they brought out a
wildcat and everyone's like, oh, this is the future, and
then we all went crazy like oh, oh yeah, here we go.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
There's no quarterback system.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Yeah, we all agree that's not the way to go.
Uh but thank you, Nick, and hopefully you're rooting for
the Yankees man wherever in New York City. In New
York you are, Uh, let's go to Dale in Wisconsin. Dale,
you're on the CNR show Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 9 (45:38):
Hey, hey guys, So two questions.

Speaker 10 (45:43):
So my first question is the pass.

Speaker 8 (45:47):
Has been good and they kirkla is a good cooker, yesay,
and doesn't get any tuca than this.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Well, well, yeah, to beat the Texans, they brought the boom.
I think that's a huge win for the Packers. I
agree with you, that was a statement win. But Rich asked,
before you know, when it comes to the NFC North,
who's the odd guy out. I don't think it's the Packers.
I think they're They're a great young team. We've been
saying that for the past two years. I think unfortunately

(46:20):
the Bears are out.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
What's up, dB, I'll make sure my family never calls again.
So don't worry about that. That won't that won't happen.
I listen. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
Something made me go hmm yesterday, and it made me
go hmm earlier today.

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Now it makes me go hmmm hmm. Okay, huh. I
was critical of Nick Sirianni and the Philadelphia Eagles. I
did it on my show yesterday. I did it on
Gottlieb Show earlier today. Within the last hour.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
There has been some sound that has come about where
Nick Sirianni is speaking with Saquon Barkley on the sideline.
What I wanted the Eagles to do is to have
Saquon Barkley get every touchdown and rub it into the
Giant's face. For instead, Jalen Hurts had two one yard
touchdown runs. But this was an exchange and I got
at Iosam, you don't need to worry about it. Where

(47:08):
Nick Sirianni is with Saquon Barkley, as Sakuon Barkley is
thirteen yards shy of his all time career high. This
is what Sirianni had the conversation he had with Saquon
Barkley late in the game.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
You're thirteen yards away from their career high. I would
love for you to get that, but that's up to you.
I just don't want. I like, I'm going to take
out all the starters if they don't school were letting meat. Sure, yeah, good, promise,
I'll listen. I want you to do it if you
want to do it. So I'm I rather see the
young boys eat.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
So sat Kwon Barkley say, yeah, I'm not in. Don't
worry about it. I'm good.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
I'd rather let the young boys. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (47:45):
Yes, And I take back what I say about Nick
Sirianni in terms of that whole exchange, because I was
critically yesterday, I was critical today, and uh, he did
recognize at least trying to get Saquon that record.

Speaker 5 (47:56):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah, that that was a big win. And if you're
a red Zoner like Danny g and I, man, every
it felt like every time Hanson was going through the game,
Barkley was just dominating the giants there one hundred and
seventy six yards one tuddy and could have should have
had a few more.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
One quick thing that made me go, And it came
from a meme because I didn't recognize it and we
haven't been talking about it either. It says, why isn't
anyone making a bigger deal about Josh Allen being the
only starting QB with zero interceptions this season? Dude, that's wild.
Twelve tds, no picks.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Wow, that's yeah. I didn't know that either. I haven't
realized that that should be a bigger story.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
I agree Mahomes has more picks than touchdowns any years.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Wild. Yeah, yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
He's leveling people. Yeah. On the show, Actually official sound by.

every week as the fact checker. Don't keep it in
the tank. Just give it out right away, just some guess.

(57:20):
There's no strategy, trying to play a little strategy because

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Two four and two teams going at it Ravens Buccaneers.

two and four Cardinals.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
Dan, you don't want to see it, well, I want
to see you how Legiti the Chargers are. Yeah, no,
for sure, for sure. Yeah, they've been up and down
just a little bit, but the last game they look great,
obviously coming off a bye and at three and two,
I want to see if they can go to the
next step. Cardinals. Cardinals have looked a little better themselves
this season, but their their record is not showing it

(58:17):
so far.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Yeah, exactly, And I you know, as far as as
far as the other game, the Ravens are the team
to beat. I want to see how the Buccaneers stand
up against them again, two four and two teams. We'll
be talking about it Manyana excited about it. Enjoy your
Monday night. And I told you a few things I
wanted to get to before we get out of here.
Check out the Name Drop Show. Rich and I are

(58:38):
going to be guests on this podcast tomorrow, So look
up Name Drop Show. We're gonna be on a podcast
with Chris Kirkpatrick. You're gonna get your ass kick from
in Sync and our buddy Brian mcfaden from MTV. They're
interviewing us and we're representing Fox Sports Radio. So look
up Name Drop show. They're promoting on social media. Say
something nice about us. We appreciate that. And as far

(59:00):
as the storylines of the World Series, I'm gonna give
you two that stand out to me. I don't care
if you care. I'm a Yankees fan, so I care.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
It's gotta be some Dan storyline.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
No, but you could hate.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
It's all about the storylines, right, Why should you care?
There are two titans Whoopedy dew? What's the underdog story?
How about just fun things to believe in, like dreams
come true? I want a storyline that doesn't appeal to
a New York Yankees fan. How about how about any
vulpy There's the viral picture of him as a little
nine year old pumpkin pie haircutted kid, picking his nose
like Aaron Rodgers, cheering from the parade, the two thousand

(59:34):
and nine Yankees World Series Parade. And now he's in
the World Series. So there's this side by side. Now dude,
this beautiful play that vulty story.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
On how many people. You're out of your mind, dude.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
This dude is an East Coast kid who grew up
loving the Yankees, who just fantasized and dreamed like every
kid at the parade, and he's doing it on the
big sta.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
That's pretty cool, awesome. The Dodgers do have a similar
story with Jack Flaherty. Yeah, he grew up a Dodgers
fan and at the trade deadline he came over to
La No No, look.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
No, it's like save storyline for save story. It is
the same city, hometown player, hometown player, no.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Parade, though I don't I don't think he was at
any parade spotty because that would have had to been
nineteen eighty eight right now. Look, though, one storyline that
has been going on with the Dodgers a little bit
is that they lost out on a parade for the
city in Los Angeles, and so Dave Roberts brought that
up during the celebration, like, la, you guys want a

(01:00:38):
parade finally, right, same thing with the Lakers in twenty twenty,
they didn't get to throw a parade for the city.
So COVID did Rob did Southern California game and gave
me pneumonia. I almost died.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
But put that in perspective, every kid dreams, and Volpi
is the starting short stop living that dream right now.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Okay, that's one story.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
The other thing I thought was pretty cool is you've
noticed that the Yankees are wearing those turdle necks as
old school nineties team mock neeck turtlenecks, and people are like, yo, man,
that's kind of like the ones they wore in the
nineties Dynasty on that run in the early two thousands,
and it turns out that they are those turtlenecks, so

(01:01:19):
they're representing they're bringing back that old school nineties magic
that Jeter was rocking back in ninety six ninety eight era.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
I thought that was kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
So if you notice the similarity, you know they're the
exact same ones out of storage. And something else I
thought was pretty cool is how the legends passed their
wisdom on. I'm sure you got your stories, Danny g
about your Dodgers, but when the Yankees celebrated and took
that team photo after the Alcs, the Dodgers did it

(01:01:49):
last night right on the field. The Yankees are there
taking their photo. If you look in the back row,
you see Andy Pettitt in the photo, legendary Yankee there
with the teams, wearing his original turtle Meg but there
to share the wisdom, to tell these young pitchers and
players like yo, I've been here, pull your hat down,

(01:02:10):
put your game face on, relax and be the man,
bring the boom. It's kind of cool to have guys
like that, veterans to share the wisdom in your corner
and on your team and representing like that. And I'm
sure you're seeing a lot of your old Dodgers guys.
You saw him yesterday. I saw Earl Hirscheiser at the game,
but not on the field. But you're seeing a lot
of those legends show up to support these young guys.

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
That's cool to see some Laker legends too standing there
in the front right. Magic john saw Magic Johnson and
Michael Cooper. That was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Yeah, so it is cool to see the support from
the previous legends or just the hometown legends as we
get ready for the clash this weekend. And one last thing,
it's Back to the Future day.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
Do you know why? Yeah, it was this date, but
twenty fifteen in the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Right yeah, and that's actually from Back to the Future too, Right,
so they travel back.

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
To this day, my favorite one to forward to previous.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
I posed this question, if you, you know, came back
from the past to the future on this day, what
would you be most surprised to hear you're like Trump
worked at McDonald's, the Vikings, what like? What would be
your biggest surprise? Think about it and share with us
at Covino and Rich until then, a Rivederci baby seeing

(01:03:26):
the Promised Land
