How you should consume over Promise. It's a video podcast

had a really fun conversation and I would love your
feedback after you watch we went over the best rated
our Christmas movies, not Elf and Home Alone and you know,
(02:16):
Happy Birthday, Frosty and Rudolph, all the stuff you watch
with your kids. I'm talking about, like the Four Christmases
of the World, the bad Sannas, and what else, like
the h your Daddy's Home too. There you go. I
don't want to ruin all the surprises. So if you
want to add to that at Kovino and Rich. But
(02:37):
before we get to NFL, before we get to a
very special announcement, we have a major guest on our
show on Monday. And I'm really pumped about this. Who
could it be? Any guesses hah, someone that we reference
often here on this show. Who could it be? Who
could it be stopping by on Monday? You'll find out
(02:59):
at the end of a show. But no, no, no,
even though Buddy Lembeck Tony loves Chatchy, if you want
to put it back in a guess in, just hit
us up at Covino and Rich. It's not Bud Bundy,
It's not any of those people who listaternal. No who,
We're gonna get to that. But I wanted to say
(03:20):
happy anniversary because thirty years ago this week today was
the premiere, but later in the week it came out
thirty years ago. The VHS tape I feel like, I well,
let me rephrase the non smutty VHS tape that I
(03:42):
watched the most as a kid. Dumb and Dummer came
out on this day, thirty years ago. Are you out
of your mind? Wow? Over No, it's a card. Thank
for noticing. I say that dumb line all the time.
And you know, and I were saying before the show,
could it be if you're roughly fortyish, is Dumb and
(04:05):
Dumber the most quotable movie from our youth? I think
there's one other in contention, but I think it's by
far the league leader, the most quotable movie, easily the
most quotable movie of our generation. If you're around I,
let's say thirty between thirty and fifty, let's say that.
And it also makes me think of because it became
(04:27):
part of our every day. So if I say so,
you're telling me there's a chance, right. That's obviously from
Dumb and Dumber. But we were talking about something going
wrong the other day and I believe I was Sam
played our pets. Heads are falling off seriously, so like,
we say these things as if we came up with them,
but we really got it from the movie. Which makes
me think about all the things our parents generations say
(04:49):
that they got from movies that we don't even realize.
But they say it because they got it from some
movie at it and know about our pets head falling
out right like our kids. In other words, hear us
say those things, don't necessarily know that we got it
from Dumb and Dumber. They just think that's a stupid thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
A couple of weeks ago in the show, we said, hey,
you want to hear the most annoying sound in the world.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, we did, Hey, why I hear the most annoying
sound in the world. I mean the best? It might
be the most quotable. And you know what, if you
want to chime in now before we get into the
ballsiest guy in the NFL, Dan Campbell, Will that continue
to pay off? If you remember last year in the
(05:32):
NFC Championship game it backfired? Do you like the juavos
on Dan Campbell making these fourth down calls? We'll get
to NFL A lot of stuff to get to, but
why not kick it off with a movie I'm sure
that is near and dear to a lot of us
dumb and dumber. Is it the most quotable? Is it
the top quotable comedy of maybe the last not only,
(05:54):
but it's one of those movies that if it's on,
I never change it. I'll let it play and I'll
just watch it. It's just so good and so dumb
and so fun and again like so memorable because we
know every line I quote. Yeah, I was fantastic. You're right,
it sounds track. I often say, so, we're really doing this,
(06:15):
are we? Harry? No, he says up, but instead of
Harry goes rich, I'll we'll be somewhere to remote. We're
really doing you Remember when he's all excited in the car. Yeah,
I say so many dumb things that, like is that
crazy look in your eye?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Harry?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Exactly? That that you don't even realize sometimes that we
got from that movie has just become a part of
things that we say, why don't you eat up and
we'll tell you. We were at Auburn for the Graduate
Hotel broadcast a couple of weeks ago. We were waiting
to get baggage claim and I pulled out the samsonite line.
You know, I don't really recall.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It starts with an s so swim swimmy slip, slippy
slippy swimming Salmon, Simmon, Swans Swinson Swanson.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Maybe sound a briefcase looking the Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Right here, Samsnight.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I was way off, I mean, speaking of it, it's
right there. He got it right. But he and people
love to point out, you know, kick his ass Sea Bass,
that that's cam Neely, right. Yeah, people love to bring
that up. So there's a little hockey shot out on
Fox Sports Radio. But man, we can go on all day.
(07:22):
I don't want to take your favorite quotes, but be
sure to hit us up. We have so many quotes
from that movie that are just again a part of
our life, a part of our every day, have become
a part of us that I really believe that our
kids just think we say dumb things, but we got
it from that movie. Yeah. I was saying that the
(07:45):
hockey cameo from cam Neely kam Neely Sea Bass. You know,
you could argue it's the coolest sports cameo in movie history.
It's a great We want Brett Favra, Derek Jeter, Lebron,
James you know with Amy Schumer, like, there have been
good ones, but honestly, for a hockey player that non
(08:06):
hockey fans don't really know, he was Sea Bess. Yeah,
that's cool as hell man, right. I think it was
supposed to be someone else and somehow he got the gig.
It's almost like Keith Hernandez tells the story that he
could be an MVP gold Glover, one of the best
at first base. But people are like Keith Hernandez, Seinfeld
cam Niely's seed beast. He's anonymous but in the movie,
(08:30):
but he plays it well. I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I didn't know any show players aren't that recognizable. And
let's like Wayne Retzky.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Check and if that guy over there, Sea mass we're
going to pick up our check.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I do want to put so you know how Lloyd
Christmas falls deeply in love with Mary Swanson if she
wasn't you know, I don't no spoilers, but her husband's
been kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
We've kind of find that at the end.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
If Mary Swanson and Lloyd Christmas got together and she
got married to him and took his last name, she'd
be Merry Christmas Mary.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
How about you know, leading up to that scene. Excuse me, ma'am,
what's the soup dejore? Come on, dude, that you'll bust
that out for the day, so I'll have that. I
think i'll have that. I mean, you know you're gonna
pull some variation of that with your buddies. I think
we're proving the point. I think we're proving the point.
(09:18):
It is the most quotable comedy of our lifetime. Every
scene I don't know. Well, there's a few reasons why
it was so dumb. We watched it a million times,
we had it on VHS. But that's part of it.
That culture's over for the most part. A lot of
these comedies are now one and done. You know, maybe
(09:40):
you see them twice maybe, but not on VHS or DVD.
You watched it a million times, so you knew every quote.
I want to make it clear it's not based on quality, though.
I have a theory in Cavino and I have talked
about this. If you wonder to yourself, when was the
last time we quoted movies it it's the mid two thousands.
(10:01):
And you know why, it's when social media took off.
Before social media, we would watch movies over and over
and over the last movies you quoted with your buddies,
Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball, maybe super Bad, old school Step Brothers,
and if you really look at it, what do they
all have in common? Mid two thousands, pre social media.
(10:22):
The minute social media came out, We're like, am I
watching that again? I'll just scroll like an idiot for
an hour. And there have been good comedy since. But
the last quotable ones, like we just named them, probably
Wedding Crashers, an old school like you said, Step Brothers, Anchorman,
culture changed, Yeah, thing, it's by far dumb, dumb. On
this thirty year anniversary this week, the easily most quotable movie,
(10:46):
Like I said, I think there's an honorable mention, like
a really close second. Do you know what I think
it is? Billy Madison. Yeah, I do. I think it's
Billy Madison, Tommy Wise close, Tommy Boy's close, But I
really think it's Billy Madison. Two of the dumbest movies
dumb as Hell, which truly fine. You know that particular
part of our our generation, Happy Gilmour. I was gonna say,
these movies sort of define us. So if you're like
(11:09):
man Covino on Rich. Those guys are dopes, probably because
the two movies that left their biggest impact when we
were both in college and high school, Dumb and Dumber
and Billy Madison. I think it does explain Bobby Boy
wedding singer. I mean, if you I get again, if
you're roughly forty, your movies were Sandler, Jim Carrey, and
(11:34):
Spade and Farley. Who else owned the nineties though, like
Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey is the nineties. He owned Mike
Myers maybe, but if you look at the movies that
came out in the Stiller early two thousands, in the
nineties that Jim Carrey was in, there's like twenty of
them that you could just doubts. He's the mask the
Truman Show, you know, Dumb and dumberation his personality Rich
(11:54):
went to carry high Jim Carrey I actually went to
He really did go to carry high uh in Franklin Square,
Long Island. But Rich's whole personality is sort of based
on how much Jim carry high energy. Yeah, he's like
Jim Carrey and his grandpa there. He is Rich Davis.
I think he had huge influence on all of us.
How could you not love Jim Carrey. I think he's
(12:15):
one of our one of our treasures. He's not even American,
He's Canadian, He's Canadian rich.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Even wore one of the blue ruffled tuxes. Vibes there
from nice set of hooters you got there? Oh oh, though,
that was a nice fever different movie.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But no, we Landed on the Moon. That is another one,
I know, dude, Like, like I said, we just say
these things all the time, all the time. So our
point here again, is it easily the most quotable movie
of that particular era of our generation. And is there
one we're forgetting? Anything else you want to chime in on?
(12:54):
You got to pay a little mini tribute to a
movie that meant so much, one of the movies you
probably like.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
Here.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I have this fantasy or theory that when you die,
right when you die, no one's in a rush, they
hand you a DVD and it's all your highlights with
all your stats, right, and you can look back and
all the highlights of your life, but it gives you
the stats of all weird things, like wow, I would
have thought that we got down that many times, all
sorts of stats, right, But It also says like movies
(13:22):
most watched, dumb and dumber would be up there. I
would believe in my status are you're saying, like a
life Rapped like Spotify, that's that's the TV show I
watched the most, Like man, I would have never thought
Lavernon Shirley was that high on my list, Like you
ever think about like what woman you made love to
the most? How many times it's you not your wife?
Like manytimes you did the Nasty dance? You know, you
(13:44):
get all these stats on your little life rapped, and
I bet you ha dumb and dumbers up there for
a lot of us, a lot of us. Oh yeah,
there's there's you know, there's like weird stats too, like
how many times do you think you walked right by
a murderer? That's gonna be on your wrap on your life,
like you wonder like you're walking through the mall or
(14:05):
like you're in a rough neighborhood and you're like, well
I walked back, Like yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
How many times were you on an airplane with O. J.
Simpson once that I know of? Yeah that did happen
to us as a show. All right, So let's go
to your phones real quick before we talked Dan Campbell
and the Lions last night. Hope you had a lion
sort of Thursday, We're having a fun Friday eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. If you
can't call, you can chime in at Covino and Rich
(14:30):
at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird. Dude goes on the gas man,
How do you know I had gas? Like every sock? Yeah, yeah,
I mean a hell that they know that I got gas.
I see that. Use that for our former Update anchor,
David Gascon. That was like his drop, Oh my good
(14:52):
gas man, the gas man dude, that's pain gas Bill
the best. Honestly, every scene is something quotable, so it's
called and dumber. But the movie itself, actually that kind
of writing in that humor is very it's like dry.
I don't know how.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
It's like, it's actually a lot harder to move write
a movie like that because you're sort of it's like
you're finding the joke in the joe in the joke
below the surface.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
It's tougher. And you know, we have to give Jeff
Daniels credit too, because he's not like Jim carry funny,
but he really owned that role owned it. Yeah, he's
not like we've had him on the show. Have you
been seen it? Like Spencer's gift, I know what a flashback,
but like novelty stores for your bathroom, they sell frame
photos of him on the toilet from Dumb and Dumber.
(15:35):
I haven't seen that. Like that's like like people do
you know like silly artwork to have what I saw
recently And we're all fans, and I bet you not
everybody's seen it. There's some weird hot tub deleted scene.
Have you guys ever seen it?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I yes, the scene with the John Deere letter Dear
John lettah la me a John Dear letter?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Later on later on Fox Sports Radio Nation. You've seen
the movie Mills, there's a deleted scene where they're in
a hotel room with a hot tub and everything. It's
kind of a weird scene. Definitely check it out. And
you got nothing to do. It's the thirtieth anniversary this week.
What if? What if he shot me in the face?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Well, we were ready to take that time, take a chance.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Let's go to Tom in Florida. We'll get rapid fire
and I do want to talk Dan Campbell the Lions.
If you're living in Detroit. If you're eminem, if you're
you're a really bad shot. Let's go to Tom Tom.
You're on with Comnio on retch the anniversary of the
premiere of Dumb and Dumber thirty years ago. It's also
a timestamp like, holy crap. Yeah, yeah, that's that's gross.
(16:35):
Think about it, guys.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It is the most annoying sound ever, the most annoying
sound ever. Yes, but you're forgetting, You're forgetting a great
quotable movie. We're actually getting a group of my guys
together with our wives to watch it next month after
the holidays are over at a restaurant here when we
live in Florida. We're gonna watch Vincent L. Gambini defend Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You know his cousin.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Since nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Did you say uts? By the way, my cousin Anny,
I watched it recently. It stands up. And the other
day we're talking about Marissa Tomey might be the most
attractive no relation to Jim Tomey. If anyone's wonder you
were saying you're more impressed with Jim Tom. I mean,
have you seen him? But Marissa Tomey, sixty years old,
looks fantastic. That was a very quotable movie. But I
(17:23):
don't think it's dumb and dumber level Bob Virginia, you're
on with C and R.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
What's up man, Hey, most quotable? How about Chevy, Chevy
Chase and Christmas Vacation.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
That's you know, my family was a big Chevy Chase family,
Like my dad loved Fletch and Vacation and all those.
This is crazy, this is crazy. This is crazy. We
do quote him a lot again, not dumb and dumber,
Dick and Dayton. What's up, hey? I say Home Alone,
Home Alone, that's one of my favorites. You know, that
is a very quotable movie. In fact, Danny, you were
(17:54):
saying that that keeps coming up as the number one
Christmas movie of all time.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Right yeah, big debate on social media right now over
that or Elf. Like if you can only watch one
movie that screamed Holidays to you and your family, and.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
That's a really good debate. I may lean Home Alone
over Elf, but that's a tough one yo. Isaac.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Wait wait wait you said you said Home Alone two
was the better of the two. I do like homelone
two is better than ELF.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I do I think lost in New York. I have
something for that bird lady in Central Park. I'm a
pigeon woman. Pigeon woman turns me on, Isaac. Are you
a bigger fan of elf or? Home Alone? Home Alone?
All the way? You guys give up.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
As this is it, don't get scared. Yes, I'm gonna
go enjoy a plane, cheese pizza.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'll be back. Can I tell you she thinks fun
not to be all over the place. But that's the
fun of our show, right, add Radio at its finest.
I watched the John Williams documentary The Greatest Composer of
Our time? Right, I mean, the guys genius. Every movie
you could think of, there's a good chance John Williams
did it. They talked about the score for Home Alone
and how it took it to a new level, Like
(18:59):
if you watch some of those scenes without the John
Williams all the Christmas, it's all John Williams, It's fantastic.
Like Danny Elfman too.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
By the way, do you know that John Williams did this?
Did the theme for NBC Sunday Night Football?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Dunt du no, that's what is so dumb and dumber?
Wrapping it up with your phone calls. I would imagine
our parents generation is probably blazing Saddles or Caddy shack.
Dumb and Dummer was the one for us thirty years ago.
This weekend? Who do we got less? In Florida? Sometimes
(19:37):
less is more? What's up? Man?
Speaker 8 (19:39):
What's up?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Boys?
Speaker 9 (19:40):
First of all, you missed the best line from that
when he says, that's a lovely accent.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And she says Austria?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
And he said, put another shrimp on the barn.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
New Jersey beginning of the movie. That's great. Uh, you
know most accidents happened on the way to the airport.
Jimmy and Delaware. What's up man?
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Hey guys, I ain't heard you say one yet.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Friday?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Can you know you quote Friday a lot?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Dude, that's such a great movie. Friday's definitely up there too.
I still love that movie. Chris Tucker's so holdable. So
many quotes from that We fired on your day off? Yeah,
I mean my my favorite lazy football player named after
the movie, Deebo Samuel. Yeah, sorry, Debu. It just feels
like he doesn't have it this year. Yeah, come on,
give me some love. Eric wrapped us up in Swoux Falls,
(20:26):
and then we'll get into some NFL. But how do
you not pay tribute to thirty years of dumb and dumber?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
What's up, Bud Well, here's what comes to mind for
me with dumb and dumber. I assume everybody else has
the same problem, where you get stuck in a group
chat of death with family that you can't get out of.
You try to delete it, and it keeps coming back.
And about a year ago I got so sick of
it that I almost grabbed the YouTube clip of Jim
Carey sitting in the bar when that undercover cop is
(20:52):
rambling in his ear at nine in the morning, and
he does with the no and I don't care, I
don't know into a bunch of family. My wife, who's
over two years younger than me, is like, I don't
know what you're talking about. I'm like, come off it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That had been hilarious.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
That I better not get eggs out from the family.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
That's a good Oh, that's one of the best lines
in the movie. It hands down. Carry is the best, dude,
he is the best. But my favorite scene from Jim Carrey,
I'm just doing this out there has nothing to do
with them and dumber. Is him coming out of a
Rhinos butt That is the most memorable. To god, I
can't watch that and not die. The look on that
(21:29):
family's face while they're watching him sweaty and it's hilarious,
Like he don't read. I bring that up is just
the point I get how funny and hilarious. He's a treasure,
truly is. And we have to give him his props
on this day and the movie. It's props. And again,
your favorite quote or something that even compares or is
close in your mind, hit us up at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio. We got more of your
(21:52):
phone calls and we talk Lions. Yeah, here's what we
do after that Lions win. Does it come down to
four final teams? And do you give Campbell props for
going for it at the fourth down? To see that
guy not not just one like multiple, I mean it's
backfired in the past. Your thoughts on Dan Campbell? Are
there four teams and four teams only that have a chance.
(22:13):
I don't know if I agree with that, And we'll
break it down next right here, Cavino and Rich live

This is Jeff Daniels for Cavino and Rich. And if
these guys quote me from Dumb and Dumber one more time,
I'm gonna kick their ass. Thanks Chef Dumb and Dumber
(23:44):
thirty years ago this weekend. It premiered thirty years ago
this weekend, Covino and Rich one of our favorites, one
of your favorites. Obviously, we're saying probably the most quotable.
We also said that social media killed the movie quote.
Think about it. The last movies you quoted. We're the
mid two thousands, Old School Wedding Crashers, Step Brothers, super Bad, Anchorman.
(24:09):
But it's crazy. We've been quoting that for thirty years, right,
thirty years And by the way, again, we're Covino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio Iowa seem Danny g Loan
Crown's got your updates. We have a big announcement today.
We have a special guest stopping by on Monday. We'll
let you know. But I knew I was right, and
I looked it up just to confirm. Kick his ass.
(24:29):
Sea Bass Sea Bass people love hockey fans left to
point out, Dude, that's cam Neely. I only know him
from Dumb and Dumber. That's the truth. But saying, Roger
Clements said about ten years ago that he was originally
casted to play sea bass in the movie. He would
have done a good job too. Yeah, I could see
him as that picture. Clemens was like a like a
flannel on a sea bass. That would have been equally cool.
(24:51):
I don't know how true that is, but that's what
he said, and I knew it was somebody. I thought
it was him. I looked it up. That's what I said. Well,
we're talking about these quotable movies. A guy that provided
a lot of movies that we've quoted celebrates a birthday today.
So happy birthday to Judd Apatow, the guy that made
so many of those two thousands nice. So he's in
his late fifties, think about it. He was in his
(25:13):
thirties when he was pumping out all those two thousands comedies. Unbelievable. Right,
we're gonna talk Lions, Dan Campbell, super Bowl contenders. We're

If we only had a way to communicate, Harry, it
is rapid radios. You know what, I want to go
rapid fire on these on these few phone calls and
(25:56):
we'll move along. Yeah, talk little Dan Campbell. Do you
admire the juebos on this guy or do you feel
like how it backfired in the NFC Championship game last
year against the forty nine ers. Is that Is that
enough to scare you away from all the fourth and yeah,
let's go for it. Yeah, let's go for it instead
(26:20):
of the game winning field goal, let's go for it
on fourth down so that we just drained the clock
even more. Like there's a there's a lot of gutsy calls.
I'll say faith in your players too. Yeah, but real quick,
let's go rapid fire on the old school movie for
a second. Steven Reno, what's up man?
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Hey, guys. The scene where Harry's filling up the muttcuts
van at the gas station and the undercoveragent first meets
him and he looks at her skis. He goes, are
those your skis? And she says yes, and he goes
both of them? Another classic and it you know, if
you're a skier, it totally relates to you.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
But what about what about his comment about the senior citizens?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
What does he say? It like, Uh, I think I
think we have that quote the system say, I'm like
the dangerous behind the wheel. How about I abuse the
most part? That's the right to begin the film when
when comedian Harlan Williams is the cop and he's like, yeah, Pumpkin,
what are you doing sipping back on Grandpa's cough syrup?
Your pumpkin pie hair cut? It freak? You said, I
(27:24):
see that all the time. You noticed that, you noticed that?
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
People must assume that it's my own thing, And like, no,
that's from Dumb and dumber Man. That's Harlan Williams in
that movie. No, it's a Cardigan.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, it's a Cardiger.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But thanks for noticing. Rich. You always bring up butternuts,
always bring up butter. That's a different movie, though. Oh
that's that's that's how picked. Oh yeah, oh my god,
Harlon Williams Carlin I combined Harlan Williams in there. That's
why Butternuts nut, Virginia, Jeremy, what's up?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Guys are second off? Based and Confused is a phenomenally
quotable movie for sure. And Dan Campbell he should stick
his guns and be the same person he always is,
or else he's going to change and end probably folding.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You know, I agree with that. You live by it,
died by it. You we'll get to that, but I
think you play. That's how they're gonna win, if they're
gonna win it all. Yeah, you know what, we'll take
two more quickies and we'll get into that. Frank in Oregon,
what's up?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Frank?
Speaker 9 (28:28):
I'll call him in on the Campbell.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh you know what? Perfect? You know? Hold on, let's
say if Eymore in Redwoods wants to wrap up the
movie or talk Dan Campbell, let's tell you more.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
Yo, there's one I don't know if you guys have
seen it.
Speaker 9 (28:39):
It's a cult classic. It's also a sports film.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
It's called Buffalo sixty six. And granted I'm from Western
New York, but.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Me and the boys, we probably quote that more than.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Dumb and dumber.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
The only thing I quote more dumb dumber is probably
Blood in Blood Out, another cult movie. But you'll save
that for another conversation. But thank you. We paid tribute
to a classic. Now we pay tribute to the Lions
win yesterday thirty four to thirty one. And as we
watch the highlights, even on the screen behind us going
for it, even on that final drive, it backfired. Once
they went for it on their side of the field,
(29:12):
it didn't go well. But every other fourth down where
you were like, I take the points, maybe Dan Campbell,
as you said, and I think the sentiment is, if
they're gonna win it all, don't uh, what's the proper
way to say. I can't say what I want to say,
don't wimp out come the postseason? Like you're like, if
you're gonna you gotta stick to your game, if you're
(29:33):
if this is who you are, yeah, be this guy,
and you know what, that's what that's the team's identity
is trepidation a real word. Yeah, if your only trepidation
is that last year against the forty nine ers, somebody
owes you five dollars for that big word. I know
over here. If your only trepidation is last year they
(29:55):
had a stranglehold on the Niners and let it slip
away and a fourth down call was part of it
that went wrong, in fact, two of them. You're right,
You're gonna live and die by this. That team is
Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell is that team. When he first
was named the coach, there was people laughing like this
guy and remembers press conference. People mocked him the kneecap
(30:17):
line and all that, Like, you know, people mocked that. Yeah,
but I truly feel and look said it a million times.
His personality matches that team, matches the city. It's a
great fit and it's working for him. Nice win yesterday.
I was also surprised how many people, again there's dummies
on social media, and sometimes we're those dummies. You see
how many people were like, wait, when GoF when his
(30:38):
knee hit when he fell on that play, Like how
did that play continue? And carry on? A college when
you're down your house? I couldn't believe how many people
I confused that rule. Did you see that there.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Was a lot watching NFL your whole life? You know,
somebody has to touch you.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Like, you know, is this your first NFL game? A
bunch of ass. I couldn't believe how many people were
confused by that. But no one touched him. And by
the way, let's take let's take no love away from
the Green Bay Packers. Not they battle. You know, they've
in my mind, secured themselves a place even though they lost,
like they're a playoff team to be reckoned with. They
played two close games against Detroit, and I look at
(31:16):
it this way. If I'm the Lions, I don't want
to play Green Bay. They matched up pretty well and
like we said, a lot of those fourth downs went
in the favor of Detroit. If that to face Green
Bay again, I wouldn't be shocked because they are one
of the few teams that could do it. And again,
golf played a good game two hundred and eighty three
yards three tunnies. There's some buzz today about are we
(31:38):
not giving him enough respect even in the MVP conversation,
Like should he be in the conversation and they're twelve
and one and their offenses being no one. Yeah, like
you totally take him for granted, no one really talks
about him at all, and he's solid for the team.
It's been a great story to see him turn around
his career in Detroit. So that's sort of the buzz
today after that. Nice win. But props again to the Lions.
(32:01):
I think this is our he agreed when Rich and
I agree, it's fact. You live by the sword, you
die by the sword. The Lions stick to their game,
and that's who they are, that's their identity, and that's
how they're gonna win. That's how they're gonna lose. And
we saw it in the past. Maybe it's a different
outcome this time now, is it? Is it all Dan
Campbell or you give him Ben Johnson credit? Is this
guy gonna get a coaching job in the next year
(32:21):
or so? Like? Is he is he quick to be
the next guy? Yeah, he's highly sought after. I mean
right now they're saying his offensive schemes are are hard
top of the league.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
Perhaps so, and Dan Campbell gave credit and a piece
of sound of her earlier today. He gave credit to
Ben Johnson for that fourth down calle call man.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I've heard folks say, and by folks, I mean guys
like us dope dopes on the radio and TV and podcast.
But I've heard people say Ben Johnson seems to have
an answer for every defensive scheme he sees coming, like
the Audibles. He'll call with God like they have an answer,
and you can. They're scoring points in every game. You
know what, Let's go to Iola will come back. We'll
take Frank's on. Everyone. The phones are wanting to talk
(33:02):
about the lion. So what's up by Itlow?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Thank you, sorry, Frank. In college football, multiple outlets report
that Oklahoma State is in a contract standoff with head
coach Mike Gundy, and that Oklahoma States discussed firing Gundy
for cause if he does not agree to a new
restructured contract for less money. The Cleveland Plaine Dealer reported
that the NFL has closed its most recent investigation in
(33:25):
the Browns quarterback DeShawn Watson and concluded there was insufficient
evidence to support a violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.
The San Francisco forty nine ers ruled out left tackle
Trent Williams for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. They
also listed defensive a lineman Nick Bosa as doubtful. Philadelphia
Eagles receiver DeVante Smith will play Sunday against the Carolina
(33:45):
Panthers after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Eagles
also ruled out tight end Dallas Goddard because of a
knee injury. Kansas City Chiefs listed receiver and returner Mcole
Hartman as questionable for Sunday Night's game against the LA
Chargers because of a knee injury. The Cincinnati Bengals plays
linebacker Logan Wilson on injured reserve, also because of a
knee injury. Finally, in Major League Baseball, multiple outlets report
(34:08):
the Cleveland Guardians are re signing right handed pitcher Shane Bieber.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Guys back to you, Thank you, Isaac Loewenkron, thank you.
Fox Sports Radio Nation Covino and Rich eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. So I think we've established that,
you know, this is their identity, this is who they are.
This is what they do between Johnson and Campbell and
getting it done, going for on the fourth down. It's
kind of cool to see a big win. And not
(34:34):
only is their buzz about golf. But there's buzz about
the Lions. They're twelve and one, and after last night,
is it safe to say they're one of the four
teams to get to the Super Bowl. We're saying this
down to four. Rich is saying maybe like six, Ria,
what Well, we'll break it down next more Coveno on

And that being said, we had a good time at
the holiday party yesterday, just letting you know. If we
have time, we'll talk a little bit about it. But
at great time. It's that time of year. Happy Holidays.
(36:24):
Covino and Rich live from the tiraq dot com studio.
This is one of my newer favorite Christmas songs. Elton
John and Ed scheerin Really Let's go to the Phone
Calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. While
we were at the holiday party, We're watching the Packers Lions.
Lions proven to be the team, even though the Packers
did battle. Yeah, those sucks. It's not like they whooped him.
(36:45):
It was a field gold game. Like if if Jared
Goff slips and they don't get that first down on
Dan Campbell's you know wavos of steel, ways wave wolfs
of steel, then the Packers get the vaulted you know
at the thirty forty time.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Yeah, so, I mean would have had to twenty one.
That's why people called him, question why did he do that?
But he wanted to stomp him out.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
We're going to go to the phones and then we're
gonna tell you who we think are the final four.
Rich says there's six teams now, yeah, that are in
the conversation for the Super Bowl. You say four, I
say six. Right, I will tell you who that is
after the calls Tyler in Northern Cali. What's up, Tyler?
Speaker 6 (37:23):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (37:24):
Nineteen ninety three day CONFU.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Do you know you the second guy that said that's
most quotable? A half baked more than I quote that one.
But it's a classic for sure. Funions All right, Uh,
let's talk to Dan Campbell. Let's go to Frank in Oregon. Frank,
do you love the the huevos of steel? Do you
think the Lions that that's the way to win. Do
you think we're we're gonna get a championship in Detroit?
Speaker 8 (37:50):
I do, but I get frustrated. I mean, I've been
a Lions fan for forty years, so I've seen it
all in different I'm not I believe we're Super Bowl contenders, yep,
but with the way our defense is and I feel
sometimes like going forward on R. Thirty, he's putting a
little bit pressure on a deep, especially depleted defense.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, hey, rich in a in a fantasy matchup, who
wins Dan Campbell's Quavos of steel or the Pittsburgh Steelers
steel curtain? Like in this matchup, my fantasies don't involve
Thank Campbell. No, but because it's the Steelers from nickname
of the offense, or I don't know that the Huebels
(38:30):
stays all right? Now, here are the four final teams
that people are buzzing about after this win. Yet, how
can you deny the Lions? Right? You can't deny the Lions. Here.
There was a meme that went viral. Danny g sent
it to me and I'm like, yeah, I agree with this,
and it says, can we agree these are the only
(38:52):
real Super Bowl contenders, and it's the Chiefs, Bills, Lions, Eagles,
And I'm like, yeah, that's pretty much it for me.
I agree with that, especially after that win. Not that
I ever doubted the Lions, but I think it comes
down to those four. I'm making it seven, really seven teams. Yeah,
(39:15):
Bill's Chiefs, Yeah, Lions, Eagles. But I got three other
teams that I feel like could could really surprise. One
of those teams, the Baltimore Ravens. When they get their
game right, they they look unstoppable at times, but then
(39:35):
they look like trash other times. Like there was a
point mid season. You gotta remember when team's peak, there's
still a quarter of the season left. Let's not make
it seem like we're headed into the postseason right now.
We've seen teams like the Giants, like the Niners that
were playing five hundred football that won the you know
one out in the last month and then got hot
in the playoffs. So we don't know how Baltimore and
(39:56):
still seem to be consistent. But I'm saying, like, how
are they going to go into the play yet? Now?
They're not looking good. A month ago, we were talking
about man Lamar MVP he's got it. This is let's
see how the last month unfolds. I don't think any
other AFC team stands a chance other than the Chiefs, Bills,
or Ravens. Oh Steelers fans, my buddy Rob in Pittsburgh,
(40:19):
my buddy Wes and Brion Vegas. They're like, why do
you give the Steelers any credit? I'm sorry, I won't.
It's Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, and then in the NFC it's Lions, Eagles, Packers.
I don't know how you could count out Jordan Love. Yeah,
you can't count out the Packers, and they they show
up their complete team. Joss Jacobs, what a great addition.
(40:41):
They fell short. Matt Lafleur is a winner, Jordan Love,
if on could compete with anyone. So I think to
leave the Packers and Ravens out of this conversation is disrespectful.
And that seventh team is the San Francisco forty Niners,
because if they win the division, by the end of
the division, you stilln't have CAF. If they win the division,
they'll be healthy with everyone Butt McCaffrey and Butt McCaffrey.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
But it's a big bud. That's a big going to
be like your Mets and then you'll love football all
over it.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah see, I mean I'm Sota joking with that one.
But the other six teams, yes, I mean I love
a big butt. I just don't let that b be
frightened if the forty nine ers sneak in, well it
contently early, Rich, So are you going to give us
your big TV game of the week in a minute.
I will do that coming up, all right, cool, And
we're also going to play a great round of a
(41:32):
game that will result in giving away swiggies. And I
believe it's Panera Worker Danny j oh. Yeah, we're getting
people reaching out from Panera Bread.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
We heard from an executive at Panera Bread who wants
to be included in this game.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
So if you guys want to be included again eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, you're a chance to
take home some holiday giveaways, some gifts from us, Panera
Bread worker or NFL player, your chance to win a
cn R on FSR swiggy. Alright, so we'll do that
coming up. Plus, what games deserve the big TV in
your house? If you're doing the whole Sunday ticket thing,
what gets the big TV will break down this week
