Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Happy Honika, Happy belated Christmas. Hope you had a great
one again.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
All we want for Christmas is a Darth Vader helmet.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
All we want for Christmas is for you to follow
our podcast search Covino and rich Revue stream do it.
I have a bonus podcast called over Promised. In fact, Rich,
we're gonna highlight over Promised, our bonus pod on Fox
Sports Radio's YouTube page with a conversation titled the Wildest
Sports Stories.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We're gonna get to that plus old school and fifty
hits and what did Lebron say about the NFL yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We got that coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But back to your phone calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine one Fox. I'm Steve Cavino live in Jersey.
That's rich Ton, eg Mark and Spotty back on the
West Side.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Now I'm looking at the AFC playoff picture and I
want to just break it down. Let me get my
cardboard and do some breakdancing. Let me break this down
real quick, right quick, don't get to the phone calls.
A lot of people want to talk about the NBA
and Lebron. I see NBA phone calls on hold. I
said that it's a three headed monster and it's gonna
(01:09):
be a fourth team that makes it to the divisional round.
That it's gonna be like a really nice moment for
the organization, Like, good for you, you made it to
the second rounds of the playoffs. But let's not be
fooled here. Kansas City Chiefs are the one seed they
play in that divisional round. Automatically, as you know, as
Andy Reid dressed up as Santa Claus and Mahomes and
Kelsey made the world hate and love them all at the
(01:32):
same time.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I hate them.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Speaking of my Darth Vader helmet. Are they turning to
the dark side a little bit? Because again, when I'm
on the plane, I'm just reading feedback a lot of
people hating on their subtle arrogance.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
After the game, Danny, there was a sense of I hate.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Them, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Good.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Patrick Mahomes said he was watching his diet and he
didn't want to eat the football cake. We're like, bro,
you're famous for your dad bod.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Yeah, trying to cut back on the calories. Yeah, so
I'm gonna laugh the cake right now. But we pretty
much dominated the whole game, and I got a cool
jacking on right now.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So there you go. You see you see RG three
in the postgame bury his facing that cake. He's like, Oh,
I'm like, damn.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It's not the first time he's buried his face and
some cake. You're probably right. So your thoughts on Netflix,
your thoughts on the NFL. But let me just finalize
the AFC playoff. Pitcher thought Kansas City and the Super
Confident and they should be Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
At fifteen to one, they get to buy.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
After that, we talked about it's all about Buffalo and
Baltimore and those two teams that have elite talent, Lamar
Josh Allen, two of your MVP candidates. It really doesn't
get better than what the AFC is bringing right now
with those top three teams Kansas City, Buffalo and Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
After that, the four seed, By the way.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Lamar Jackson wasn't eating any cake either. I don't know
if you saw that, to be fair, Yeah, he turned
it down. They just said, hey, prove that it's cake,
and he opened up the football and it was cake,
but he didn't have any Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
A cool cross promotion for Netflix is your cake. I'm
just saying, what do you think guy from Stranger Things?
How about you, squid game writer? So you got the
four seed as the Houston Texans we saw yesterday. As
much as you like to root for CJ. Stroud and
that team really did turn around their organization faster than
you thought postseason for a.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Second year in a row. They can't compete at that level.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
And I'm not saying anything we don't already know. When
you put the Houston Texans up against the three elite,
they're gonna fall flat.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Then the five seed Pittsburgh. You saw what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
A couple of balls could have bounced their way in
the first half, and Mike tom would have been pointed
it out. If you want to be the team like
Kansas City, they can't fumble and have the ball bounce
right back into their hands.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You can't drop two interceptions. You can't.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You can't do those type of things and expect to compete.
And then you say, well, the two wild cards after
that likely going to be the Chargers and the Denver Broncos.
To AFC West teams. The only way I see any
team making any like.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
WHOA making some noise.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Might be if the Cincinnati Bengals slip into the playoffs,
because I don't know if you're aware of how the
Bengals somehow, some way could have a shot because they
played the Broncos this coming week, they win that game,
they end against the Steelers. If Joe Burrow and the
Bengals slipping at nine to eight and they're clicking offensively,
(04:40):
that could be a team like oh Man, maybe Cincinnati
gets hot at the right time and that was a
playoff expected team. But to me, it really is the
dominant three headed monster of the AFC. Mahomes, Lamar Josh Allen.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Bengals have a twenty four chance right now to make
the playoffs. If they got to win out obviously, then
they need a lot of help.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, but the help they need, the Denver help they need,
isn't that bad because Denver has to play the Bengal
so Burrow that's a must win obviously, and then the
Chiefs go to Denver. So unless you think the Chiefs
are going to rest everyone, which they might not, Danny,
because they have a bye week, So if they don't
play people week eighteen, then you tell me you want
(05:26):
Mahomes Kelsey and Hollywood Brown, who's just getting acclimated.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You think you want to rest them for three full weeks.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Then they also need the Colts and the Dolphins to
each lose.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
They need help.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
But when you look at the schedule Cincinnati, it's not
crazy to think that they slide in.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
So your thoughts and then let me throw in.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The NBA now coming out, because I know people want
to talk about that Lebron James after what many called
one of the better Christmas games ever.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Dude, it was crazy back and forth in the game,
crazy back and forth.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Lebron comes out on top and he said this, I
love the NFL. I love NFL. Christmas.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Our day is Christmas the NBA's day.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And did the NBA actually win it?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They may have just based on that Lakers Golden State
Warriors game and the lopsided scores of the NFL that
we already discussed. Lakers win one, fifteen, one thirteen, but
that back and forth at the end sort of had
you at the edge of your seat. Steph Curry hitting shots.
Lakers still win it, But I think what upsets you
(06:38):
is the fact that you know the NBA could be
that all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It just isn't right. You know what the NBA is
capable of, and it's that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Take on your anniversary when the your wife does all
kinky stuff. You can do this all the time if
you want, right, it's a good Annelleganble.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That really is a good anog.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I mean like just like that, I mean spot when
the NBA delivers like that, You're like, you can't do
this all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
What this a couple of times a year? Wait, that's
usually off the table.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, Steph was still chucking up threes with his eyes closed,
but he made that one at the end, which was amazing.
Lebron and Steph were vintage NBA All Stars, Lebron with
thirty one, Steph with thirty two, almost identical stats for
both the guys. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,
Cove that What stood out about this is what we've
(07:28):
all been screaming and yelling, drive to the hoop. We
want to see more dirty dunks and we want to
see players go to the rim. And Austin Reeves took
the ball and drove for the final seconds there instead
of chucking up a bad shot.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Got lots of props on that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It was nice to see, like Danny G said, and
it really did remind you that the NBA is capable.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Of some excitement. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That was a great game, a lot of history there.
The Lakers come out on top with a like Danny
G said, a cool bucket from Reeves, some great shots
by Curry.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You know, if you want to go, what was more exciting?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The NBA did sort of win in that sense, but
overall the season, the NFL wins. But what what do
you think about? What Lebron had to say is really
what we're asking here.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Let's let's go to tea in Georgia. You're all a
convenient Rich. What's up?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
MANDNR?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Fellas sat out in an ag shout out spot for
the rest of the crew. Listen, I got a couple
of things. I wrote them down this time. I'm not
gonna get flustered. So about the Buffalo, Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore,
that's my that's my that's my three. I got Cincinnati.
I would love to have Cincinnati come in there in
the end, but like y'all said, it may need a
lot of help. The Holliday hat trick as one of
(08:39):
the best names. I need to keep that for whenever
y'all do a little two in a space and then
another one. And also for the NBA. I think the
reason why the NBA has such a good model is
because they're there. They have enough games to where they
have these spaced out events where you can tune into
those events. Christmaday, All Star Playoff. You know, with the
(09:01):
with the NFL being only seventeen sixteen, you know, games
you're moless in tune to being paid attention to every
single one of those games and kind of following those games.
The NBA has, you know, enough to wear in those
moments like Christmas, like yesterday, a slew of great games
and you know that they're capable of those every so often.
(09:21):
You just can't pull it out every you know, all
eighty two, you feel me. That's why you know MLB
is so kind of shaky with one hundred and sixty
two games, but they're changed their model, so you know,
that's basically it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But great, Yeah, take great points, Bro, great call, and
Rich I gotta give you props too.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That was a great bedroom analogy. When it came to
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
You are left feeling that way that was a Christmas
classic and real quick my thoughts on what Lebron had
to say, it would have brought me the wrong way.
Hadn't they won and hadn't they delivered in a Christmas
classic in that way?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
But I think there's some truth to what he said
right there. I mean, based on that game.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
If you want to make it less smutty, you could
say generally in a relationship, when a guy does something romantic,
you know a lot of times a wife or girlfriend
is thinking, like.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
See you have it in you, Like you just choose
not to be romantic.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Like I said, you know, someone gets kinky in the
bedroom on your anniversary. A lot of times you would think, like,
you know, we could do this on a random Wednesday night.
It doesn't need to be only on special vacation occasions
or stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Dude, That's the exact feeling I had when I saw
the Lakers beat the Warriors in that back and forth.
I'm like, the NBA is capable of such so much
excitement here, you know, where they can be more exciting
than the NFL.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I don't want to be a conspiracy guy, I guess.
As much as I love Jesse Ventura, the Denver Airport
area fifty one. I'm not conspiracy ah JFK. I'm not
a conspiracy guy. But would it surprise you if you
were to say, get win that Adam Silver called up
(11:00):
teams and was like, yo, bring it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I don't think he would need to do that for
a Christmas game.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying like scripted or
anything like that. I'm saying, what a chock you of
Adam Silver is like, all right, Christmas Day, guys, and
memory commissioner here yo, but guys, you know a lot
at stake here, Chris's day.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Bring it. I think every Danny's right.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised rich, but I think
everybody sort of knew that and felt that.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Yeah. When you see Starting five on Netflix, Jason Tatum
was upset last season because he had to leave his
family and they were trying to get to the game
and everything. But he said, all the eyes, we know
the whole world is watching our game. So he was
excited for that reason. And I think that's the mindset
of most NBA players. Steph. You know he thought that
(11:49):
he finished with thirty eight, by the way, and Lebron
always turned on.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
The last the game.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah right, And Lebron always knows when you know, he
how many households he's visiting. So those guys didn't need
any Santa Claus now yeah, sees you when you're sleeping too.
We just got the Santa Beard now. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
On Christmas Eve, my kids and I were watching Lebron Tracker.
You know, let's take let's take the four five.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Let's take a call from Andy and Urs.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Andy wanted to talk n b A and earlier in
the show, Covino, you're talking about that lost gift from
your childhood where you always wanted to like, where did
it go?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Andy? A? Oh the way I look at it. With
the NFL, it was great. I think they learned a
lot from the typeon and logan Paul fight to really
know J Paul, I means sorry.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
About that bum.
Speaker 8 (12:46):
You know, not have any buffers happening during the live
stream pre recording videos out of the question. And I
just like to sprinkle this in. Lebron and Steph Curry,
they are the gift that just keeps on giving.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
YEA.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Honestly, what is the NBA going to do when they
are not here?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That is a great question fall off like like it
did when Jordan retired. It's you need your star stars
stars now they're stars.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
But we we talked about this previously on Fox Sports Radio,
where some of the stars either don't want to be stars,
or there's like a cultural disconnect or like a disinterest
in like a Luca or a Yo Kitch or you know,
some of these European players don't have that.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Bam, you know, and no one will deny his great
he's not the guy that's going to be the face
of the NBA that's going to get you tuned in.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's just not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Let's say, how to Aaron one last phone call and
then uh, we'll move on.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
What's up buddy? Coming on right, Aaron?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Guys? What's up?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (13:51):
I was calling in regards to how you guys are
talking about the toys and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, well, my mom when we were younger, she threw
away our.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Comic books number one, two, four?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
What that?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, by the way, that's it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
That's unbelievably the sad story of so many of our
parents generation, right, like how many taleyball.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Cards but now currently Pokemon cards Rich. I hear that
all the.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Time, Mom, you throwing my Pokemon. But ya, Aaron, you
ain't kidding. There was a I feel like it was
our parent generation. If you're roughly forty, your dad was
probably collecting Mickey Mantles and Roger Maris's and Jackie Robinson's
and your your grandmother threw them out.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, but you rich, you made such a.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Good point before all the crap they kept, right, Like
you decided to keep the pogo stick and the croquet set,
but for some reason you had to throw away my
baseball cards and my you know whatever was valuable to me.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
But for every like valuable item that ended up becoming
more valuable, there was like a beanie baby that that
you didn't need.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, So it was like it was through the way
that Princess Diana beanie baby. You didn't know. You know what.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You know, my ife and I had this dumb thought
when we were wrapping presents for the kids the other night,
and you look at unopened toys from our childhood and
now they're super expensive, Like look an unopened he Man
or even at the original iPhone. The iPhone one unopened
is like tens of thousands of dollars in auction.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, Ken, Golden problem is it? Is it ever your instinct?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Is it ever your instinct to be like, should I
buy a couple of random things and just not open them?
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Do you know my grandmother in Long Beach, she threw
away my grandpa's Playboy collection, but in her garage our
old roller skates and skateboards with steel wheels, like metal
wheels in her roost.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
She kept those. That's the commonality here. I think that's
the greatest point we've made so far.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Your mom threw away all your sweet Yankees memorabilia, but
she kept your She kept your social studies notebook from
igrant dude.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's the truth. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yet she has my trapper keeper upstairs for some reason.
And I want to make this point before we move on.
We have so much to get to on the Cavino
and Rich Show, and for Dan Patrick Lebron James and
what he said, I sort of like that, man. I
think that's the kind of attitude you have to have
in anything, into everything you do, because if these guys
(16:18):
don't care, then why should we care? And I like
that fight in that pride that Lebron James expressed in
his Lakers in his game, essentially in the NBA. He
was defending the NBA there, and that's like you and
I defending radio. Like if someone says, yeah, man, you
know with streaming and podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Radios dying you as a radio host, what would you
say was like, you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Audio entertainment all time high, and you start getting defensive and.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Right because you have a pride in that right.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And I don't have any sort of bad feelings when
I hear Lebron take ownership and pride in the NBA there,
I sort of want that from the face of the league.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I think he's doing what he's supposed to be doing.
He delivered on the biggest day. I think that's a
great sign that he's like, yeah, I love the NFL.
And he said it respectfully. Yeah, because who doesn't love And.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
If you missed hearing Lebron say it, take a listen
one more time yesterday after the Lakers game.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I love the NFL. I love NFL Christmas Our Day.
A playful, prideful statement.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah, it garnered some speculation and some eye rolls, but honestly,
he did the right thing there, and I think all
of us would do that in something that we all
take pride and that's what you want from a leader
and from again the face of your organization. But the
cliff Notes version of the last half hour of conversation,
Netflix did a fine job, Lebron and Steph delivered. Yet
(17:43):
you go on social media and there's still hater hater haters,
there's still people hating.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And it to me because what rich day? Ain't playing
playing plays.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
It's fascinating that on a day where you're probably opening
gifts with your kids, it's a joyful day. You got
to see some Randall family members. You were wearing your
pajamas all day? Like what, why do you why is
your instinct to hate? Just think about that as you
move into twenty twenty five, why lead with that?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Stinks?
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You know I like that thought too. We're entering a
new year.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
If we have any influence at all, we should all
change at the fall and help in assisting other people change.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You have their default, like, hey dude, you need a hug.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I'm not sure it'd be all uh. You know, I'm
not like Tony Robbins or anything. I'm not trying to
be like Gary vayner Chuk. I'm not some motivational speaker.
But what I'm saying is it is very instinctual sports music.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Anything to be like that stinks.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
How about just take a step back and say, you know, Netflix,
that was their first go at it with the NFL.
Man they put together a decent broadcast team that the
broadcast was clear, the graphics were good, the game's sort
of stunk.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But and by the way, it's probably where the future
is heading, right, So what do you to do? Be
the reluctant guy and then the guy who's not on
board the old guys, and you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Say, all right, you know what, I'm not the biggest
Beyonce fan. I respect the hell out of her, but
I'm not like you know, I'm not I'm not downloading
Queen Bee albums the minute they come out. But you
had to acknowledge the fact that she brought out some
stars post Malowe was there. It was an extended halftime,
and some would argue more entertaining than a lot of
NFL halftime shows. So, you know what, Beyonce, that was
(19:25):
probably a big win for the NFL.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I think it's hard to not come across as a hater.
If you were used to be stunk. It was Christmas.
You had two football games on Get over yourself?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
All right?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Now, Hey, coming up, we're gonna go old school this hour.

back in the super producer chair at eight seven seven
ninety nine out box. If you want to chime in,
say what's up again? Happy Holidays. I'm Steve Cavino Live
(21:26):
from Jersey. That's Rich Davis this hour, Rich Old School
win fifty hits. We do it on our show five
to seven on the East Monday through Friday, two to
four on the West, Covino and Rich. We throw it
back every Thursday in reminisce, and today's someone specials birthday,
so we talk about longevity in sports and longevity in
(21:48):
whatever it.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Is that you do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
This guy's a musician that we're going to celebrate, so
old school in fifty hits on the clock and old
school and fifty hits in life, a little.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Bit who stands the test of time. We'll get to that.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Of course, a lot of NFL today on Kevin on Rich.
It is that tummy year. Though the NBA didn't make
some progress. Yesterday, Lebron and Steph really really delivered on
the big stage, which you sort of expected, but it showed,
like we said.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If you're capable of that, do that more often. That's
all now, So I'll give you one last analogy too.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
It's like when you know what Spot shows up to,
like a birthday party or something, and he has his
hair combed and he looks all handsome. Yeah, like, ah,
look at Spot, Like how good he looks and the
rest of their week looks like a hobo.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah. Our video of gard Spot there is the hobo.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, And say, hey, man, if you're capable of looking
so handsome and dapper all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Why don't you just do that? I reserved my effort,
I sam.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Honestly, if you go to an event, you're like, man,
you know when someone tells you that this is like
the backhanded compliment, Oh you clean up nice? Is there
where you're saying you're a slob? You're capable of this? Yeah,
the NBA cleaned up real nice. Remember, ratings are down.
What is the ridiculous stat like that?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Right? Significant amount?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
It's not load management for Spot, it's fashion management.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, but the NBA cleaned up real nice and competed
real nice with the NFL yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So that was nice to see. I just set my
bar low every day. What's wrong with that? So the NBA, please,
Spot only puts on pants for Game seven? I wouldn't
talk there. Sweatpanboy, Well, it's the sweat pantop of the year.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
You know, it's funny you should say that. I just
talked to Big Mic who runs his place. Who who Yeah,
Big Mic together runs iHeart and he said it's glorious,
and I agree with him. This sounds like a dirty statement,
but it's not said around the holidays when you're wearing
the same like hoodie and sweats for a couple of
days in a row, and you're.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Like, oh what a four go a shower.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
It's the only time where you don't feel grossy, like
you are just in veg mode.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And I really agree with him. I still have my
Christmas candy cane underwear on. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I was gonna say, if you if you were in
the same class. If you were, no, I don't spun.
If you were in the same closes you did yesterday.
I find no shame in that. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I have a question for you though, based on that,
we already titled this the ain't quite the Grundle, the
grassy Knoll, the space between Yeah, if you know what
we're saying, the space space the holiday season, between Christmas
and New Year's it's that weird time of the year
where you just veg out, you lounge around, you eat,
and you don't know what day it is.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Do you hit the gym like today?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm thinking about doing it later, but it really is
more of a so I don't feel like a complete
piece of trash, but I really am a firm believer
in I don't want to be the guy. That's like,
I'll start and pick a later date because I think
that's like lazy mindset. However, I'm not abiding by my
own words because there's no way I want to start
(24:49):
this new thing f forty five. It's not like an
Orange Theory CrossFit type, but it's like a class spot.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You said it was pretty good, right, it's great.
Speaker 9 (24:55):
There's a class of pretty much every hour on the hour, Richard.
I mean, I've tried, and it is not an a
by the way, even the day after Christmas.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I've I've tried.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I've tried all the group classes and everything from the
Orange Theories to the crossfits to the all those type
of things. So I don't see a purpose in starting
one now when my house is full of leftover cookies,
Uh steak from last night?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Be a lazy day? Or is today like you get
back on track? You can't do both. I mean, I mean,
if you're gonna be lazy, today's the day to do it.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I was also talking to Big Mic. I mean, the
guy's got great ideas. He runs his place. We talked
about the quality and the importance of something I don't
do enough of so I can guarantee other people listening
are with me on this. You don't value the staycation
enough because a lot of times when we vacation and
(25:50):
take that random time off from Fox Sports, from serious
exam from our podcast, when we take a few days,
I'm stupidly in the mindset of like, all right, babe,
we gotta go to Hawaii Mexico, or let's go here
with the kids, let's go to Disney. I what I'm
appreciating about this week between Christmas and New Year's We're
filling in for big shows like DP and Colin next week,
(26:10):
but we have a couple of days off here and there,
and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Going anywhere for the most part.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Fantastic, And I think a lot of times you feel
this pressure where you like, I work my ass off,
I got jobs, I'm providing for my family. When I
have time off, well damn, I better go somewhere cool.
And sometimes doing nothing is so underrated.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Well rich, Maybe you know based on that, there's a
balance there.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Instead of you know, going to Cabo for the entire getaway,
instead of going to Tuloom, instead of swimming in a
sonoe for seven days, maybe you go for five days
and then have two days at home to actually do
some stuff in lounge and be lazy around the house.
You're so right on.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
But I think most people, and I say this confidently,
most people tend to do the stupidity that I do,
which is, oh, I have you know, I'm taking three
days off of work, are and I'll piggyback that to
a weekend and honey, let's go to We'll go to
the Bahamas for five days, four nights.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And you get back late Sunday night, and you're exhausted
at work that next week.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
And you know, I think the holidays, unless you're traveling
to see family, is very, very quality staycation time because
everyone's at least got one day off or two days off.
And then you know, between the last two weeks of
the year, no one's working every day unless.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
You are like a workhorse.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That hot take brought to you by Big Mike, wh
runs this place where Cavino and Rich and for Dan Patrick.
Now speaking of Netflix, big day for Netflix yesterday. Squid
Games two premieres tonight, right, Danny.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
G Yeah, Squid Games too, well, remember Squid Game because
a lot of us say Squid Games.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Victoria's got one secret. Yeah, I was on the turlet
watch the Squid games.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
She's got one secret.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, Victoria's got one secret. Squid has one game. Cavino
loves the player.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Rich is such a stickler on Victoria's secret, like, like,
it's such a big deal in my mind, she has
multiple secrets.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
What's it to you.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
I'm just saying, you sound like your dad when you
know when your parents mispronounced athletes names are like store names.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
And you're like, I find that, I'll roll with the
guyser Old.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I'm sorry, Rich, I was gonna say he's turning into
that there's multiple games.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
It was there only one game in the Squid Game
is to not die. It's a squid game.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, so it's the full game of life. Stay alive,
you guys are now A lot of people have been
anticipating this for a while. This has been in the
works because you remember, this was just at the tail
end of COVID.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
This was Netflix's most stream show ever international internationally. Squid
Game was huge. In fact, I remember these idiots, you know,
the same guys that made fun of me over my
Taylor Swift hot take. I remember them mocking me because
I said I watched Squid Game before I went to bed,
and it was a little creepy to me.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
This is the whole concept.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I know what you said, hold on, please squid Games.
I put on an extra s for Steve squid Games,
Steve Cavino.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Here.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What this bone had said was, oh my god, this
before we had watched it.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I watched the show squid Game. He goes, I couldn't fleep.
Lay gave me nightmare. Gave me nightmares. Wait, gave you nightmares?
I said, oh wow. I was like my daughter. I
think my daughter said, she's watching that. Oh my goodness.
You should know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
He made me feel like I was a bad parent
for letting my teenage kid watch this.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He gave him nightmares. You were discretion advice. Stop. I mean,
and I watched it. I'm like, this gave him nightmares?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Said, the concept of softy pants, the concept of all
these desperate people putting their life on the line because
they just want money. To me nightmares, How do they
give me nightmarries? Maybe I'm maybe I'm a Weekends just
overly dramatic about it. A great show. I'm not downplaying
the show. I thought it was really great.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You know, I feel like it's sneaking up on us
to the point where I'm not as excited where as
I should be. Danny g For as much as I
like the original Squid Game, you know, they gave us nightmares.
I even't liked the game show that was based on
the show, but they didn't kill the people obviously continue
to see.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I didn't like that. I felt like I did. They
should have inflicted real pain on those contestants.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I feel like there's no hype.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
For coloring exploding in their chests.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Come on, you know how they waiting too long? What's
that show? I even forgot the name of it, The
show with Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us on HPO.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
All right, but at the time the Last of Us
comes back, I don't even remember what happened.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't even care that much.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Well, a lot of people are reading Yeah, I was
just gonna say, a lot of people are reading a recap.
I saw a headline of read this recap, so you're
ready for season two, and this is probably a good
time to go back and watch the first one over
again before you start.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Neflix has to start paying us a little something for
hyping up their show, because I feel like I need
and I also feel like it's maybe our chop to
hype people up and get excited about it.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I am not that excited.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm sure I'll like it, but I feel like there
was no like, hell yeah, man, it's coming back.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I'm pumped.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I'm gonna I'll probably watch a couple episodes tonight, but
I'll check it.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
It's out today. Squid Game, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Squid Games Games season two and you really got me, bro, No,
there is something to be said. I was about the
compliment you, butN now I might not. I was gonna
say there is something that has been said about what
Cavino just brought up. When there's too much of a
break in the action and you got to go back
on YouTube and start watching search recap of season whatever
(31:36):
that show, then you wait too long, Bro.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's like Colin Kaepernick's not coming back. It's been too
long man.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
As Iron Eagle joked yesterday, Hey, if you're turning on Netflix,
I'm not the old kid from Stranger Things grown up
now to.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Spin it positive. At least it's back. There's some shows
where we're waiting and waiting and they never do another seay.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I started watching season two of a show you and
I both love Shrinking on Apple TV.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Season one was.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Three years ago, so I did have to go to
YouTube with the wife and be like, let me search.
Is there someone do a five minute recap of season one?
When you have to do that, they've waited too long.
But that's another great show to watch. But here's the question, Cavino,
it will be trending number one between now and New
Year's You know It? Squid Game season two, Life's on
(32:25):
the line. If your life was on the line, I
know you and I like to joke about Wayne and
Garth's Pain Cave.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
If you were in the pain Cave.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
And your life was on the line, you had a
decision to make, and the decision was you live or
die karate kid style live or die?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Hunh m.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
If it was life or death and Danny g You're
tied up in a chair with a gag in your mouth,
and I like to play and they pulled the gag
out your mouth like Dandy, you got a choice to
me who you live or die? Based on this quarterback
(33:09):
leading you on a game winning drive. We gave a
lot of props to the AFC and the three headed
monster that's mahomes Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Does it have to be a current quarterback.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Josh Allen, And you know, like I said, there's a
guy named Joe Burrow trying to sneak in the mix,
it has to be a current quarterback in the NFL.
If I said life's on the line, you're on squid game.
Squid Games, what quarterback are you choosing? If your life's
on the life line?
Speaker 5 (33:37):
This is easy. I'm going Kirk Cousins. I've lived a
full life.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
She's like, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Come.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
It's like it's like you've seen those memes where it
said you're guaranteed a million dollars if you could pick
which of your friends would show up late to a
dinner or hey, you'd win.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
A million dollars.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
So you got to pick which which friend's gonna I
don't know bring up this first or something.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I think we just gave mister Beast an idea. But
based on Squid Game two, right, yeah, where they're playing
for their life. If your life is on the line,
you're playing for your life squid game style, who do
you give the ball to? Which quarterbacks current hands do
you put your life in?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
I think it's a great question. We'll take your feedback
and we'll go old school next. Right here, Covin on Ratch,
Live from the Mercedes Benz Studio in for the Great
Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
We're live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm live from
New Jersey right now. Steve Covino from Union, New Jersey,
Live from Union for the holidays, visiting the fam, Blessing
and a curse, Rich Davis, Danny g Spotty Ramsey, everybody
on the West Side.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
That means Streets of La Again. We're Covino and Rich.
Day three of the Dan Patrick Hatrick.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
If you missed any of our shows, just search Covino
and Rich revue stream and look for over Promised. Speaking
of over Promised, which is our bonus pod, Rich, We're
gonna highlight that next hour when we go over the
wildest sports stories of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
So lots to get to. But Squid Game two premieres
today on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Gonna be trending number one for the rest of the
year going into the new year. So the question is
if your life was on the line like this reality
not reality show like this TV show that gives me nightmares.
All these desperate people will have to put their life
on the line.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Before it was a reality show with the contestines.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
And Danny, I agree they shouldn't have killed them, but
they did that reality show based off the show, and
when the people were eliminated, of course they didn't kill them,
but they had like a like a paint gun.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Like yeah, and it wasn't a ball hitting them. It
should have been a pellet gun hitting them. Like, I
do think there should have been a physical punishment. I'm
not saying like beat their ass, but like you see
those shows like wipe Out and stuff like this physical
game shows, like the fact that it was based off
of squid Game. Yeah, at least like should have at
least been a deep bruise then you're out. And then
(36:18):
because they were doing bad acting like falling to the
ground like they were doing, I wanted to see some
real acting where they were injured.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Honestly, you're right, they should have had a real paint gun,
not like a little patch on their chests.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Well, a fun question.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Based on the game tonight that you could pose amongst
your friends when you're paling around during this holiday break.
You can hit us up at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio if your life depended on it, squid
game style for the final drive, who would you give
the ball to? Which quarterback would you give the ball to?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Well?
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Guy, throw a lass second caveat into this question. No,
but I'm sure you're gonna anyway, Okay, perfect, You can't
say Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
No, that's not fair. It's you. You started off by
saying any current quarterback.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Because it's like it's like a room full of like
mediocre people on one model.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
And if I asked you, like who to sleep with?
I like that distinction. I like that. I mean like
you can't can't you can't not pick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
So I'm saying I want to make this a legitimate
question because who in this room wouldn't pay to take
Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Me?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Oh, because I think there's there's a real answer, and
then there's my answer. There's a real answer, and then
there's my answer. But it's really like my Rob Parker
hot take.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
He's gonna say brock perty.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
No because he's got to kill that he could lead
you to victory, and he can also muscle his way
through in a way that I don't think Mahomes could.
If your life depended on it, you wouldn't put it
in the hands of this monster.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I saw.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
The Super Bowl you're in person. I thought, for the
first time since I was a teenager, by forty nine,
ers had it.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I really did.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
I felt like they were the better team, and you
could argue, but are you gonna put your life in
the hands of some sizzle, meaning like some side arm
diving throw Listen, some like magic to happen. You're waiting
for a miracle or are you gonna wait or put
your life on the line for a guy to barrel
his way through the end zone like a Josh Allen could.
(38:27):
I grew up idolizing Joe Montana and his marquee moment
was ninety two yards Super Bowl against the Bengals. Joe Cool.
Oh look there's John Candy in the stands. Joe Montana
was the epoitome, the epitome of cool under pressure. Joe Cool,
Joe Montana. It's a long ass time ago, and what
(38:48):
you see Patrick Mahomes do nowadays.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
That's why I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
I almost wanted to take them out of the question
because I love Josh Allen, the physicality, what he could do.
Lamar Jackson, I still don't trust in the big game,
even though he could be your MVP. Again, there's guys
like Burrow, there's guys that you know. Jared Goff is trustworthy,
I believe, but Cavino in a big game. I saw
my forty nine ers like so close to victory, and
(39:12):
on multiple fourth down plays, I knew deep in my
soul he would convert them. Mahomes is unstoppable. I hate it.
I just hope the season ends up. What you're saying
more than what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
All Right, I'll make my answer quick.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
We'll go on the room quickly, and then again you
can chime in Fox Sports Radio Nation at Covino and Rich.
My real answer is Josh Allen, my Rob Parker hot
take answer.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
I'd give the ball to Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield because
he fights, He's got heard I'd give it to Mayfield.
Think about it.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
It's not Mayfield that fumbled the ball against the Cowboys.
He was Rashod White. That guy fights, dude. You might
want to give it to him. He fights, and I
would believe in him. I would believe in him. That's
my fake answer. My real answer is Josh.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Allen Danny g before you go Old School fifty, what's
your what's your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Quickly, I'll give you a youngster. You saw that final
drive in his last game, Jaden Daniels, Oh that did
That's a he's a youngster, but he's reliable.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
He's got he's got the he's got the goods. Your
life on the line, though.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
That's it's it's a squid games question at Covine and Rich.
But look at the clock. We do this every Thursday
when Old School hits.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
There's a certain.
Speaker 8 (40:30):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
What we gonna do is go back back into town
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.
That's fifty after cn R give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah so again. On our regular show Monday through Friday,
five to seven on the East, two to four on
the West, Covino and Rich we throw it back every Thursday,
Old School w fifty hits on the clock. And today
we celebrate Lars's sixty first birthday. Large Metallica, the drummer
of Metallica. It's Lars's birthday today, sixty one, by the way,
(41:08):
and as the band ages, you're looking at James Headfield
and you're like, is that James Headfield or the cowardly Lion?
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I can't even tell anym Put him. Put him if
I were King of the funnel. Let he hits you
with it, ooh yeah hey, and you're like, all right, cool.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
You know, Lars is sixty one. People still associate him
with the whole napster nonsense. Back in the day, South
Park had some fun with him. But Lars is a
legendary drummer. He is the force behind Metallica. And they've
been around for a long time.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
They've been doing it for a long time now. They
surpassed generations. They sold the most albums of the nineties.
A lot of people rock albums. A lot of people
think it was Nirvana. Nevermind, it was Metallica Black album
when they went mainstream.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
So it posted the question think about it, movies, sports, entertainment,
gold cross all in the trees, who has stood the
test of time, who is still delivering as an older
man or woman that you would put on the top
of that list. Who is the rock star, the athlete,
the announcer, the person that stood the test of time,
(42:16):
no weakness in their game.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
We'll take your feedback. Next CNR in for Dan Patrick.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Happy Honika, Happy belated Christmas. Hope you had a great
one again.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
All we want for Christmas is a Darth Vader helmet.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
All we want for Christmas is for you to follow
our podcast search Covino and rich Revue stream do it.
I have a bonus podcast called over Promised. In fact, Rich,
we're gonna highlight over Promised, our bonus pod on Fox
Sports Radio's YouTube page with a conversation titled the Wildest
Sports Stories.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We're gonna get to that plus old school and fifty
hits and what did Lebron say about the NFL yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We got that coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But back to your phone calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine one Fox. I'm Steve Cavino live in Jersey.
That's rich Ton, eg Mark and Spotty back on the
West Side.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Now I'm looking at the AFC playoff picture and I
want to just break it down. Let me get my
cardboard and do some breakdancing. Let me break this down
real quick, right quick, don't get to the phone calls.
A lot of people want to talk about the NBA
and Lebron. I see NBA phone calls on hold. I
said that it's a three headed monster and it's gonna
(01:09):
be a fourth team that makes it to the divisional round.
That it's gonna be like a really nice moment for
the organization, Like, good for you, you made it to
the second rounds of the playoffs. But let's not be
fooled here. Kansas City Chiefs are the one seed they
play in that divisional round. Automatically, as you know, as
Andy Reid dressed up as Santa Claus and Mahomes and
Kelsey made the world hate and love them all at the
(01:32):
same time.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I hate them.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Speaking of my Darth Vader helmet. Are they turning to
the dark side a little bit? Because again, when I'm
on the plane, I'm just reading feedback a lot of
people hating on their subtle arrogance.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
After the game, Danny, there was a sense of I hate.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Them, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Good.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Patrick Mahomes said he was watching his diet and he
didn't want to eat the football cake. We're like, bro,
you're famous for your dad bod.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Yeah, trying to cut back on the calories. Yeah, so
I'm gonna laugh the cake right now. But we pretty
much dominated the whole game, and I got a cool
jacking on right now.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So there you go. You see you see RG three
in the postgame bury his facing that cake. He's like, Oh,
I'm like, damn.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It's not the first time he's buried his face and
some cake. You're probably right. So your thoughts on Netflix,
your thoughts on the NFL. But let me just finalize
the AFC playoff. Pitcher thought Kansas City and the Super
Confident and they should be Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
At fifteen to one, they get to buy.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
After that, we talked about it's all about Buffalo and
Baltimore and those two teams that have elite talent, Lamar
Josh Allen, two of your MVP candidates. It really doesn't
get better than what the AFC is bringing right now
with those top three teams Kansas City, Buffalo and Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
After that, the four seed, By the way.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Lamar Jackson wasn't eating any cake either. I don't know
if you saw that, to be fair, Yeah, he turned
it down. They just said, hey, prove that it's cake,
and he opened up the football and it was cake,
but he didn't have any Wow.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
A cool cross promotion for Netflix is your cake. I'm
just saying, what do you think guy from Stranger Things?
How about you, squid game writer? So you got the
four seed as the Houston Texans we saw yesterday. As
much as you like to root for CJ. Stroud and
that team really did turn around their organization faster than
you thought postseason for a.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Second year in a row. They can't compete at that level.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
And I'm not saying anything we don't already know. When
you put the Houston Texans up against the three elite,
they're gonna fall flat.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Then the five seed Pittsburgh. You saw what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
A couple of balls could have bounced their way in
the first half, and Mike tom would have been pointed
it out. If you want to be the team like
Kansas City, they can't fumble and have the ball bounce
right back into their hands.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You can't drop two interceptions. You can't.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
You can't do those type of things and expect to compete.
And then you say, well, the two wild cards after
that likely going to be the Chargers and the Denver Broncos.
To AFC West teams. The only way I see any
team making any like.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
WHOA making some noise.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Might be if the Cincinnati Bengals slip into the playoffs,
because I don't know if you're aware of how the
Bengals somehow, some way could have a shot because they
played the Broncos this coming week, they win that game,
they end against the Steelers. If Joe Burrow and the
Bengals slipping at nine to eight and they're clicking offensively,
(04:40):
that could be a team like oh Man, maybe Cincinnati
gets hot at the right time and that was a
playoff expected team. But to me, it really is the
dominant three headed monster of the AFC. Mahomes, Lamar Josh Allen.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Bengals have a twenty four chance right now to make
the playoffs. If they got to win out obviously, then
they need a lot of help.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, but the help they need, the Denver help they need,
isn't that bad because Denver has to play the Bengal
so Burrow that's a must win obviously, and then the
Chiefs go to Denver. So unless you think the Chiefs
are going to rest everyone, which they might not, Danny,
because they have a bye week, So if they don't
play people week eighteen, then you tell me you want
(05:26):
Mahomes Kelsey and Hollywood Brown, who's just getting acclimated.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You think you want to rest them for three full weeks.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Then they also need the Colts and the Dolphins to
each lose.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
They need help.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
But when you look at the schedule Cincinnati, it's not
crazy to think that they slide in.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
So your thoughts and then let me throw in.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
The NBA now coming out, because I know people want
to talk about that Lebron James after what many called
one of the better Christmas games ever.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Dude, it was crazy back and forth in the game,
crazy back and forth.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Lebron comes out on top and he said this, I
love the NFL. I love NFL. Christmas.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Our day is Christmas the NBA's day.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And did the NBA actually win it?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They may have just based on that Lakers Golden State
Warriors game and the lopsided scores of the NFL that
we already discussed. Lakers win one, fifteen, one thirteen, but
that back and forth at the end sort of had
you at the edge of your seat. Steph Curry hitting shots.
Lakers still win it, But I think what upsets you
(06:38):
is the fact that you know the NBA could be
that all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It just isn't right. You know what the NBA is
capable of, and it's that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Take on your anniversary when the your wife does all
kinky stuff. You can do this all the time if
you want, right, it's a good Annelleganble.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That really is a good anog.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I mean like just like that, I mean spot when
the NBA delivers like that, You're like, you can't do
this all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
What this a couple of times a year? Wait, that's
usually off the table.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, Steph was still chucking up threes with his eyes closed,
but he made that one at the end, which was amazing.
Lebron and Steph were vintage NBA All Stars, Lebron with
thirty one, Steph with thirty two, almost identical stats for
both the guys. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say,
Cove that What stood out about this is what we've
(07:28):
all been screaming and yelling, drive to the hoop. We
want to see more dirty dunks and we want to
see players go to the rim. And Austin Reeves took
the ball and drove for the final seconds there instead
of chucking up a bad shot.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Got lots of props on that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It was nice to see, like Danny G said, and
it really did remind you that the NBA is capable.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Of some excitement. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That was a great game, a lot of history there.
The Lakers come out on top with a like Danny
G said, a cool bucket from Reeves, some great shots
by Curry.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You know, if you want to go, what was more exciting?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The NBA did sort of win in that sense, but
overall the season, the NFL wins. But what what do
you think about? What Lebron had to say is really
what we're asking here.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Let's let's go to tea in Georgia. You're all a
convenient Rich. What's up?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
MANDNR?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
What's that?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Fellas sat out in an ag shout out spot for
the rest of the crew. Listen, I got a couple
of things. I wrote them down this time. I'm not
gonna get flustered. So about the Buffalo, Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore,
that's my that's my that's my three. I got Cincinnati.
I would love to have Cincinnati come in there in
the end, but like y'all said, it may need a
lot of help. The Holliday hat trick as one of
(08:39):
the best names. I need to keep that for whenever
y'all do a little two in a space and then
another one. And also for the NBA. I think the
reason why the NBA has such a good model is
because they're there. They have enough games to where they
have these spaced out events where you can tune into
those events. Christmaday, All Star Playoff. You know, with the
(09:01):
with the NFL being only seventeen sixteen, you know, games
you're moless in tune to being paid attention to every
single one of those games and kind of following those games.
The NBA has, you know, enough to wear in those
moments like Christmas, like yesterday, a slew of great games
and you know that they're capable of those every so often.
(09:21):
You just can't pull it out every you know, all
eighty two, you feel me. That's why you know MLB
is so kind of shaky with one hundred and sixty
two games, but they're changed their model, so you know,
that's basically it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But great, Yeah, take great points, Bro, great call, and
Rich I gotta give you props too.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That was a great bedroom analogy. When it came to
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
You are left feeling that way that was a Christmas
classic and real quick my thoughts on what Lebron had
to say, it would have brought me the wrong way.
Hadn't they won and hadn't they delivered in a Christmas
classic in that way?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
But I think there's some truth to what he said
right there. I mean, based on that game.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
If you want to make it less smutty, you could
say generally in a relationship, when a guy does something romantic,
you know a lot of times a wife or girlfriend
is thinking, like.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
See you have it in you, Like you just choose
not to be romantic.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Like I said, you know, someone gets kinky in the
bedroom on your anniversary. A lot of times you would think, like,
you know, we could do this on a random Wednesday night.
It doesn't need to be only on special vacation occasions
or stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Dude, That's the exact feeling I had when I saw
the Lakers beat the Warriors in that back and forth.
I'm like, the NBA is capable of such so much
excitement here, you know, where they can be more exciting
than the NFL.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I don't want to be a conspiracy guy, I guess.
As much as I love Jesse Ventura, the Denver Airport
area fifty one. I'm not conspiracy ah JFK. I'm not
a conspiracy guy. But would it surprise you if you
were to say, get win that Adam Silver called up
(11:00):
teams and was like, yo, bring it.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I don't think he would need to do that for
a Christmas game.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying like scripted or
anything like that. I'm saying, what a chock you of
Adam Silver is like, all right, Christmas Day, guys, and
memory commissioner here yo, but guys, you know a lot
at stake here, Chris's day.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Bring it. I think every Danny's right.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised rich, but I think
everybody sort of knew that and felt that.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Yeah. When you see Starting five on Netflix, Jason Tatum
was upset last season because he had to leave his
family and they were trying to get to the game
and everything. But he said, all the eyes, we know
the whole world is watching our game. So he was
excited for that reason. And I think that's the mindset
of most NBA players. Steph. You know he thought that
(11:49):
he finished with thirty eight, by the way, and Lebron
always turned on.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
The last the game.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah right, And Lebron always knows when you know, he
how many households he's visiting. So those guys didn't need
any Santa Claus now yeah, sees you when you're sleeping too.
We just got the Santa Beard now. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
On Christmas Eve, my kids and I were watching Lebron Tracker.
You know, let's take let's take the four five.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Let's take a call from Andy and Urs.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Andy wanted to talk n b A and earlier in
the show, Covino, you're talking about that lost gift from
your childhood where you always wanted to like, where did
it go?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Andy? A? Oh the way I look at it. With
the NFL, it was great. I think they learned a
lot from the typeon and logan Paul fight to really
know J Paul, I means sorry.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
About that bum.
Speaker 8 (12:46):
You know, not have any buffers happening during the live
stream pre recording videos out of the question. And I
just like to sprinkle this in. Lebron and Steph Curry,
they are the gift that just keeps on giving.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
YEA.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
Honestly, what is the NBA going to do when they
are not here?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
That is a great question fall off like like it
did when Jordan retired. It's you need your star stars
stars now they're stars.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
But we we talked about this previously on Fox Sports Radio,
where some of the stars either don't want to be stars,
or there's like a cultural disconnect or like a disinterest
in like a Luca or a Yo Kitch or you know,
some of these European players don't have that.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Bam, you know, and no one will deny his great
he's not the guy that's going to be the face
of the NBA that's going to get you tuned in.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's just not going to happen.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Let's say, how to Aaron one last phone call and
then uh, we'll move on.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
What's up buddy? Coming on right, Aaron?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Guys? What's up?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (13:51):
I was calling in regards to how you guys are
talking about the toys and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, well, my mom when we were younger, she threw
away our.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Comic books number one, two, four?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
What that?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, by the way, that's it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
That's unbelievably the sad story of so many of our
parents generation, right, like how many taleyball.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Cards but now currently Pokemon cards Rich. I hear that
all the.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Time, Mom, you throwing my Pokemon. But ya, Aaron, you
ain't kidding. There was a I feel like it was
our parent generation. If you're roughly forty, your dad was
probably collecting Mickey Mantles and Roger Maris's and Jackie Robinson's
and your your grandmother threw them out.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, but you rich, you made such a.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Good point before all the crap they kept, right, Like
you decided to keep the pogo stick and the croquet set,
but for some reason you had to throw away my
baseball cards and my you know whatever was valuable to me.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
But for every like valuable item that ended up becoming
more valuable, there was like a beanie baby that that
you didn't need.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, So it was like it was through the way
that Princess Diana beanie baby. You didn't know. You know what.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
You know, my ife and I had this dumb thought
when we were wrapping presents for the kids the other night,
and you look at unopened toys from our childhood and
now they're super expensive, Like look an unopened he Man
or even at the original iPhone. The iPhone one unopened
is like tens of thousands of dollars in auction.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, Ken, Golden problem is it? Is it ever your instinct?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Is it ever your instinct to be like, should I
buy a couple of random things and just not open them?
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Do you know my grandmother in Long Beach, she threw
away my grandpa's Playboy collection, but in her garage our
old roller skates and skateboards with steel wheels, like metal
wheels in her roost.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
She kept those. That's the commonality here. I think that's
the greatest point we've made so far.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Your mom threw away all your sweet Yankees memorabilia, but
she kept your She kept your social studies notebook from
igrant dude.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
That's the truth. Man.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yet she has my trapper keeper upstairs for some reason.
And I want to make this point before we move on.
We have so much to get to on the Cavino
and Rich Show, and for Dan Patrick Lebron James and
what he said, I sort of like that, man. I
think that's the kind of attitude you have to have
in anything, into everything you do, because if these guys
(16:18):
don't care, then why should we care? And I like
that fight in that pride that Lebron James expressed in
his Lakers in his game, essentially in the NBA. He
was defending the NBA there, and that's like you and
I defending radio. Like if someone says, yeah, man, you
know with streaming and podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Radios dying you as a radio host, what would you
say was like, you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Audio entertainment all time high, and you start getting defensive and.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Right because you have a pride in that right.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
And I don't have any sort of bad feelings when
I hear Lebron take ownership and pride in the NBA there,
I sort of want that from the face of the league.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I think he's doing what he's supposed to be doing.
He delivered on the biggest day. I think that's a
great sign that he's like, yeah, I love the NFL.
And he said it respectfully. Yeah, because who doesn't love And.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
If you missed hearing Lebron say it, take a listen
one more time yesterday after the Lakers game.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I love the NFL. I love NFL Christmas Our Day.
A playful, prideful statement.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah, it garnered some speculation and some eye rolls, but honestly,
he did the right thing there, and I think all
of us would do that in something that we all
take pride and that's what you want from a leader
and from again the face of your organization. But the
cliff Notes version of the last half hour of conversation,
Netflix did a fine job, Lebron and Steph delivered. Yet
(17:43):
you go on social media and there's still hater hater haters,
there's still people hating.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And it to me because what rich day? Ain't playing
playing plays.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
It's fascinating that on a day where you're probably opening
gifts with your kids, it's a joyful day. You got
to see some Randall family members. You were wearing your
pajamas all day? Like what, why do you why is
your instinct to hate? Just think about that as you
move into twenty twenty five, why lead with that?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Stinks?
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You know I like that thought too. We're entering a
new year.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
If we have any influence at all, we should all
change at the fall and help in assisting other people change.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
You have their default, like, hey dude, you need a hug.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I'm not sure it'd be all uh. You know, I'm
not like Tony Robbins or anything. I'm not trying to
be like Gary vayner Chuk. I'm not some motivational speaker.
But what I'm saying is it is very instinctual sports music.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Anything to be like that stinks.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
How about just take a step back and say, you know, Netflix,
that was their first go at it with the NFL.
Man they put together a decent broadcast team that the
broadcast was clear, the graphics were good, the game's sort
of stunk.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
But and by the way, it's probably where the future
is heading, right, So what do you to do? Be
the reluctant guy and then the guy who's not on
board the old guys, and you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Say, all right, you know what, I'm not the biggest
Beyonce fan. I respect the hell out of her, but
I'm not like you know, I'm not I'm not downloading
Queen Bee albums the minute they come out. But you
had to acknowledge the fact that she brought out some
stars post Malowe was there. It was an extended halftime,
and some would argue more entertaining than a lot of
NFL halftime shows. So, you know what, Beyonce, that was
(19:25):
probably a big win for the NFL.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I think it's hard to not come across as a hater.
If you were used to be stunk. It was Christmas.
You had two football games on Get over yourself?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
All right?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Now, Hey, coming up, we're gonna go old school this hour.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Bit who stands the test of time. We'll get to that.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Of course, a lot of NFL today on Kevin on Rich.
It is that tummy year. Though the NBA didn't make
some progress. Yesterday, Lebron and Steph really really delivered on
the big stage, which you sort of expected, but it showed,
like we said.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
If you're capable of that, do that more often. That's
all now, So I'll give you one last analogy too.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
It's like when you know what Spot shows up to,
like a birthday party or something, and he has his
hair combed and he looks all handsome. Yeah, like, ah,
look at Spot, Like how good he looks and the
rest of their week looks like a hobo.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah. Our video of gard Spot there is the hobo.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, And say, hey, man, if you're capable of looking
so handsome and dapper all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Why don't you just do that? I reserved my effort,
I sam.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Honestly, if you go to an event, you're like, man,
you know when someone tells you that this is like
the backhanded compliment, Oh you clean up nice? Is there
where you're saying you're a slob? You're capable of this? Yeah,
the NBA cleaned up real nice. Remember, ratings are down.
What is the ridiculous stat like that?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Right? Significant amount?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
It's not load management for Spot, it's fashion management.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, but the NBA cleaned up real nice and competed
real nice with the NFL yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So that was nice to see. I just set my
bar low every day. What's wrong with that? So the NBA, please,
Spot only puts on pants for Game seven? I wouldn't
talk there. Sweatpanboy, Well, it's the sweat pantop of the year.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
You know, it's funny you should say that. I just
talked to Big Mic who runs his place. Who who Yeah,
Big Mic together runs iHeart and he said it's glorious,
and I agree with him. This sounds like a dirty statement,
but it's not said around the holidays when you're wearing
the same like hoodie and sweats for a couple of
days in a row, and you're.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Like, oh what a four go a shower.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
It's the only time where you don't feel grossy, like
you are just in veg mode.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And I really agree with him. I still have my
Christmas candy cane underwear on. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I was gonna say, if you if you were in
the same class. If you were, no, I don't spun.
If you were in the same closes you did yesterday.
I find no shame in that. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I have a question for you though, based on that,
we already titled this the ain't quite the Grundle, the
grassy Knoll, the space between Yeah, if you know what
we're saying, the space space the holiday season, between Christmas
and New Year's it's that weird time of the year
where you just veg out, you lounge around, you eat,
and you don't know what day it is.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Do you hit the gym like today?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm thinking about doing it later, but it really is
more of a so I don't feel like a complete
piece of trash, but I really am a firm believer
in I don't want to be the guy. That's like,
I'll start and pick a later date because I think
that's like lazy mindset. However, I'm not abiding by my
own words because there's no way I want to start
(24:49):
this new thing f forty five. It's not like an
Orange Theory CrossFit type, but it's like a class spot.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You said it was pretty good, right, it's great.
Speaker 9 (24:55):
There's a class of pretty much every hour on the hour, Richard.
I mean, I've tried, and it is not an a
by the way, even the day after Christmas.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I've I've tried.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I've tried all the group classes and everything from the
Orange Theories to the crossfits to the all those type
of things. So I don't see a purpose in starting
one now when my house is full of leftover cookies,
Uh steak from last night?
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Be a lazy day? Or is today like you get
back on track? You can't do both. I mean, I mean,
if you're gonna be lazy, today's the day to do it.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I was also talking to Big Mic. I mean, the
guy's got great ideas. He runs his place. We talked
about the quality and the importance of something I don't
do enough of so I can guarantee other people listening
are with me on this. You don't value the staycation
enough because a lot of times when we vacation and
(25:50):
take that random time off from Fox Sports, from serious
exam from our podcast, when we take a few days,
I'm stupidly in the mindset of like, all right, babe,
we gotta go to Hawaii Mexico, or let's go here
with the kids, let's go to Disney. I what I'm
appreciating about this week between Christmas and New Year's We're
filling in for big shows like DP and Colin next week,
(26:10):
but we have a couple of days off here and there,
and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Going anywhere for the most part.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Fantastic, And I think a lot of times you feel
this pressure where you like, I work my ass off,
I got jobs, I'm providing for my family. When I
have time off, well damn, I better go somewhere cool.
And sometimes doing nothing is so underrated.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Well rich, Maybe you know based on that, there's a
balance there.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Instead of you know, going to Cabo for the entire getaway,
instead of going to Tuloom, instead of swimming in a
sonoe for seven days, maybe you go for five days
and then have two days at home to actually do
some stuff in lounge and be lazy around the house.
You're so right on.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
But I think most people, and I say this confidently,
most people tend to do the stupidity that I do,
which is, oh, I have you know, I'm taking three
days off of work, are and I'll piggyback that to
a weekend and honey, let's go to We'll go to
the Bahamas for five days, four nights.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And you get back late Sunday night, and you're exhausted
at work that next week.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
And you know, I think the holidays, unless you're traveling
to see family, is very, very quality staycation time because
everyone's at least got one day off or two days off.
And then you know, between the last two weeks of
the year, no one's working every day unless.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
You are like a workhorse.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That hot take brought to you by Big Mike, wh
runs this place where Cavino and Rich and for Dan Patrick.
Now speaking of Netflix, big day for Netflix yesterday. Squid
Games two premieres tonight, right, Danny.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
G Yeah, Squid Games too, well, remember Squid Game because
a lot of us say Squid Games.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Victoria's got one secret. Yeah, I was on the turlet
watch the Squid games.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
She's got one secret.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, Victoria's got one secret. Squid has one game. Cavino
loves the player.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Rich is such a stickler on Victoria's secret, like, like,
it's such a big deal in my mind, she has
multiple secrets.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
What's it to you.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
I'm just saying, you sound like your dad when you
know when your parents mispronounced athletes names are like store names.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
And you're like, I find that, I'll roll with the
guyser Old.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I'm sorry, Rich, I was gonna say he's turning into
that there's multiple games.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
It was there only one game in the Squid Game
is to not die. It's a squid game.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah, so it's the full game of life. Stay alive,
you guys are now A lot of people have been
anticipating this for a while. This has been in the
works because you remember, this was just at the tail
end of COVID.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
This was Netflix's most stream show ever international internationally. Squid
Game was huge. In fact, I remember these idiots, you know,
the same guys that made fun of me over my
Taylor Swift hot take. I remember them mocking me because
I said I watched Squid Game before I went to bed,
and it was a little creepy to me.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
This is the whole concept.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I know what you said, hold on, please squid Games.
I put on an extra s for Steve squid Games,
Steve Cavino.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Here.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What this bone had said was, oh my god, this
before we had watched it.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I watched the show squid Game. He goes, I couldn't fleep.
Lay gave me nightmare. Gave me nightmares. Wait, gave you nightmares?
I said, oh wow. I was like my daughter. I
think my daughter said, she's watching that. Oh my goodness.
You should know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
He made me feel like I was a bad parent
for letting my teenage kid watch this.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
He gave him nightmares. You were discretion advice. Stop. I mean,
and I watched it. I'm like, this gave him nightmares?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Said, the concept of softy pants, the concept of all
these desperate people putting their life on the line because
they just want money. To me nightmares, How do they
give me nightmarries? Maybe I'm maybe I'm a Weekends just
overly dramatic about it. A great show. I'm not downplaying
the show. I thought it was really great.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You know, I feel like it's sneaking up on us
to the point where I'm not as excited where as
I should be. Danny g For as much as I
like the original Squid Game, you know, they gave us nightmares.
I even't liked the game show that was based on
the show, but they didn't kill the people obviously continue
to see.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I didn't like that. I felt like I did. They
should have inflicted real pain on those contestants.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I feel like there's no hype.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
For coloring exploding in their chests.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Come on, you know how they waiting too long? What's
that show? I even forgot the name of it, The
show with Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us on HPO.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
All right, but at the time the Last of Us
comes back, I don't even remember what happened.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't even care that much.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Well, a lot of people are reading Yeah, I was
just gonna say, a lot of people are reading a recap.
I saw a headline of read this recap, so you're
ready for season two, and this is probably a good
time to go back and watch the first one over
again before you start.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Neflix has to start paying us a little something for
hyping up their show, because I feel like I need
and I also feel like it's maybe our chop to
hype people up and get excited about it.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I am not that excited.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm sure I'll like it, but I feel like there
was no like, hell yeah, man, it's coming back.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I'm pumped.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I'm gonna I'll probably watch a couple episodes tonight, but
I'll check it.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
It's out today. Squid Game, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Squid Games Games season two and you really got me, bro, No,
there is something to be said. I was about the
compliment you, butN now I might not. I was gonna
say there is something that has been said about what
Cavino just brought up. When there's too much of a
break in the action and you got to go back
on YouTube and start watching search recap of season whatever
(31:36):
that show, then you wait too long, Bro.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's like Colin Kaepernick's not coming back. It's been too
long man.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
As Iron Eagle joked yesterday, Hey, if you're turning on Netflix,
I'm not the old kid from Stranger Things grown up
now to.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Spin it positive. At least it's back. There's some shows
where we're waiting and waiting and they never do another seay.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
I started watching season two of a show you and
I both love Shrinking on Apple TV.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Season one was.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Three years ago, so I did have to go to
YouTube with the wife and be like, let me search.
Is there someone do a five minute recap of season one?
When you have to do that, they've waited too long.
But that's another great show to watch. But here's the question, Cavino,
it will be trending number one between now and New
Year's You know It? Squid Game season two, Life's on
(32:25):
the line. If your life was on the line, I
know you and I like to joke about Wayne and
Garth's Pain Cave.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
If you were in the pain Cave.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
And your life was on the line, you had a
decision to make, and the decision was you live or
die karate kid style live or die?
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Hunh m.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
If it was life or death and Danny g You're
tied up in a chair with a gag in your mouth,
and I like to play and they pulled the gag
out your mouth like Dandy, you got a choice to
me who you live or die? Based on this quarterback
(33:09):
leading you on a game winning drive. We gave a
lot of props to the AFC and the three headed
monster that's mahomes Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Does it have to be a current quarterback.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Josh Allen, And you know, like I said, there's a
guy named Joe Burrow trying to sneak in the mix,
it has to be a current quarterback in the NFL.
If I said life's on the line, you're on squid game.
Squid Games, what quarterback are you choosing? If your life's
on the life line?
Speaker 5 (33:37):
This is easy. I'm going Kirk Cousins. I've lived a
full life.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
She's like, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Come.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
It's like it's like you've seen those memes where it
said you're guaranteed a million dollars if you could pick
which of your friends would show up late to a
dinner or hey, you'd win.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
A million dollars.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
So you got to pick which which friend's gonna I
don't know bring up this first or something.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I think we just gave mister Beast an idea. But
based on Squid Game two, right, yeah, where they're playing
for their life. If your life is on the line,
you're playing for your life squid game style, who do
you give the ball to? Which quarterbacks current hands do
you put your life in?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
I think it's a great question. We'll take your feedback
and we'll go old school next. Right here, Covin on Ratch,
Live from the Mercedes Benz Studio in for the Great
Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
We're live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm live from
New Jersey right now. Steve Covino from Union, New Jersey,
Live from Union for the holidays, visiting the fam, Blessing
and a curse, Rich Davis, Danny g Spotty Ramsey, everybody
on the West Side.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
That means Streets of La Again. We're Covino and Rich.
Day three of the Dan Patrick Hatrick.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
If you missed any of our shows, just search Covino
and Rich revue stream and look for over Promised. Speaking
of over Promised, which is our bonus pod, Rich, We're
gonna highlight that next hour when we go over the
wildest sports stories of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
So lots to get to. But Squid Game two premieres
today on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Gonna be trending number one for the rest of the
year going into the new year. So the question is
if your life was on the line like this reality
not reality show like this TV show that gives me nightmares.
All these desperate people will have to put their life
on the line.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Before it was a reality show with the contestines.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
And Danny, I agree they shouldn't have killed them, but
they did that reality show based off the show, and
when the people were eliminated, of course they didn't kill them,
but they had like a like a paint gun.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Like yeah, and it wasn't a ball hitting them. It
should have been a pellet gun hitting them. Like, I
do think there should have been a physical punishment. I'm
not saying like beat their ass, but like you see
those shows like wipe Out and stuff like this physical
game shows, like the fact that it was based off
of squid Game. Yeah, at least like should have at
least been a deep bruise then you're out. And then
(36:18):
because they were doing bad acting like falling to the
ground like they were doing, I wanted to see some
real acting where they were injured.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Honestly, you're right, they should have had a real paint gun,
not like a little patch on their chests.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Well, a fun question.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Based on the game tonight that you could pose amongst
your friends when you're paling around during this holiday break.
You can hit us up at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio if your life depended on it, squid
game style for the final drive, who would you give
the ball to? Which quarterback would you give the ball to?
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Well?
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Guy, throw a lass second caveat into this question. No,
but I'm sure you're gonna anyway, Okay, perfect, You can't
say Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
No, that's not fair. It's you. You started off by
saying any current quarterback.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Because it's like it's like a room full of like
mediocre people on one model.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
And if I asked you, like who to sleep with?
I like that distinction. I like that. I mean like
you can't can't you can't not pick Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
So I'm saying I want to make this a legitimate
question because who in this room wouldn't pay to take
Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Me?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Oh, because I think there's there's a real answer, and
then there's my answer. There's a real answer, and then
there's my answer. But it's really like my Rob Parker
hot take.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
He's gonna say brock perty.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
No because he's got to kill that he could lead
you to victory, and he can also muscle his way
through in a way that I don't think Mahomes could.
If your life depended on it, you wouldn't put it
in the hands of this monster.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I saw.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
The Super Bowl you're in person. I thought, for the
first time since I was a teenager, by forty nine,
ers had it.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I really did.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
I felt like they were the better team, and you
could argue, but are you gonna put your life in
the hands of some sizzle, meaning like some side arm
diving throw Listen, some like magic to happen. You're waiting
for a miracle or are you gonna wait or put
your life on the line for a guy to barrel
his way through the end zone like a Josh Allen could.
(38:27):
I grew up idolizing Joe Montana and his marquee moment
was ninety two yards Super Bowl against the Bengals. Joe Cool.
Oh look there's John Candy in the stands. Joe Montana
was the epoitome, the epitome of cool under pressure. Joe Cool,
Joe Montana. It's a long ass time ago, and what
(38:48):
you see Patrick Mahomes do nowadays.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
That's why I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
I almost wanted to take them out of the question
because I love Josh Allen, the physicality, what he could do.
Lamar Jackson, I still don't trust in the big game,
even though he could be your MVP. Again, there's guys
like Burrow, there's guys that you know. Jared Goff is trustworthy,
I believe, but Cavino in a big game. I saw
my forty nine ers like so close to victory, and
(39:12):
on multiple fourth down plays, I knew deep in my
soul he would convert them. Mahomes is unstoppable. I hate it.
I just hope the season ends up. What you're saying
more than what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
All Right, I'll make my answer quick.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
We'll go on the room quickly, and then again you
can chime in Fox Sports Radio Nation at Covino and Rich.
My real answer is Josh Allen, my Rob Parker hot
take answer.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
I'd give the ball to Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield because
he fights, He's got heard I'd give it to Mayfield.
Think about it.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
It's not Mayfield that fumbled the ball against the Cowboys.
He was Rashod White. That guy fights, dude. You might
want to give it to him. He fights, and I
would believe in him. I would believe in him. That's
my fake answer. My real answer is Josh.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Allen Danny g before you go Old School fifty, what's
your what's your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Quickly, I'll give you a youngster. You saw that final
drive in his last game, Jaden Daniels, Oh that did
That's a he's a youngster, but he's reliable.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
He's got he's got the he's got the goods. Your
life on the line, though.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
That's it's it's a squid games question at Covine and Rich.
But look at the clock. We do this every Thursday
when Old School hits.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
There's a certain.
Speaker 8 (40:30):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
What we gonna do is go back back into town
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits.
That's fifty after cn R give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah so again. On our regular show Monday through Friday,
five to seven on the East, two to four on
the West, Covino and Rich we throw it back every Thursday,
Old School w fifty hits on the clock. And today
we celebrate Lars's sixty first birthday. Large Metallica, the drummer
of Metallica. It's Lars's birthday today, sixty one, by the way,
(41:08):
and as the band ages, you're looking at James Headfield
and you're like, is that James Headfield or the cowardly Lion?
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I can't even tell anym Put him. Put him if
I were King of the funnel. Let he hits you
with it, ooh yeah hey, and you're like, all right, cool.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
You know, Lars is sixty one. People still associate him
with the whole napster nonsense. Back in the day, South
Park had some fun with him. But Lars is a
legendary drummer. He is the force behind Metallica. And they've
been around for a long time.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
They've been doing it for a long time now. They
surpassed generations. They sold the most albums of the nineties.
A lot of people rock albums. A lot of people
think it was Nirvana. Nevermind, it was Metallica Black album
when they went mainstream.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
So it posted the question think about it, movies, sports, entertainment,
gold cross all in the trees, who has stood the
test of time, who is still delivering as an older
man or woman that you would put on the top
of that list. Who is the rock star, the athlete,
the announcer, the person that stood the test of time,
(42:16):
no weakness in their game.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
We'll take your feedback. Next CNR in for Dan Patrick.
