Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Always a pleasure to be here in for Dan Patrick,
the Great, Dan Patrick the Great, not the Great, Dan Patrick,
Covino and Rich us Up Steve Covino, Rich Davis, Danny
g Super producing on the phones at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox, Mark Ramsey on the ones and twos,
Our Boys, Spotty on the videos Everything at Covino and
Rich Live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm on the

(00:27):
East Coast, visiting the family, gaining weight, eating Christmas cookies,
but we all do because it's the ain't quite of
the holiday season, that space between Christmas and New Year's.
Happy bleated Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Rich, Yes, get to
your feedback, but we got to talk the games yesterday.

(00:50):
There's some games and some shows tonight. But the only
downside about traveling on Christmas Day, I mean, it's Christmas Day.
I don't want to be traveling, but I want to
see my family, right, It's the price you pay when
you live on the other side of the country. Sometimes
you got to go visit your family. I'm on the plane,
I'm on United and I'm thinking to myself, well, I

(01:14):
get to watch the games only because I forgot, just
kind of forgot for a second that the games were on.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Netflix and I couldn't watch them.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So couldn't watch them on the plane, which was complaint
number one from me. But I did have Wi Fi,
so throughout the day, you know, throughout the flight from
LA to Noork or as we say, NRK Nork, you know,
I'm looking at the scores. I'm like, not very competitive.

(01:48):
So my interest because again the Chiefs stopped the Steelers.
The Ravens stomped Houston thirty one to two. That's not
even a game. But the other side stories were the
halftime shows and I'm just reading so much smack and for.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Me, people the worst dude. Yeah, but it was very divided.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I thought it was very fifty to fifty, again based
on my weak ass Internet connection I had on the plane.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
I think that the world is full of.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Just straight up haters that hate anything.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It is.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's the point now where it's almost laughable, where every buffoon,
because of social media, has a voice that you could
think something was fantastic. You'll go on social media and
it's just a bunch of people. And I always want
to be like, who are you?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
What do you bring to the table, because I can
promise you based on your little profile picture, you look
at you stink?

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Are you saying a hater's gonna hate Danny J. This
reminds me. You know, Rich and I have been on
the air for twenty years now, right, so we have
lots of stories, lots of moments to makes a sound old.
I gotta, I gotta. I didn't say in the bedroom,
you're weirdo. We have lots of wild stories.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
In fact, we're gonna discuss the wildest stories of twenty
twenty four sports stories later on the show, plus Old
School with fifty hits.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
We throw it back on a Thursday.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
But I remember one day Rich said just let him
let him run with this conversation.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
He's like, Cavino, I got it.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm like, well, what do you want to talk about?
He goes, I got it. There's two types of people
in life. I'm like, all right, so we don't know
where he's going with this conversation. And he acted like
he had the greatest point there ever was, and he goes.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
I've been thinking about a guy. Jesus, I got a
really hot take here.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, and I swear to you he said this, Oh
you know how annoying you guys are because you're bringing
this up spot who was like a sleep in his
chair two minutes ago, he like popped up, put his
headphones on, like, oh, let's make some wratchet.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
I had to bear witness to this. He knows who mines.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Two minutes ago he had left over Christmas cookies and
he was sleeping with a lot on his belly.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
And that was that. He pops up and he's like,
let's go just in time has entered the chat. Well
you know what this spot was there when you did this.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And he knows that I'm speaking the truth, But he
acted Danny g. What's funny about it is he acted
like he was about to make the greatest point there
ever was.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yes, he had a stephen a hot take.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
He's like, guys, I'm about to break the internet with
my statement here.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
But I rich, David, I'm here to say that Taylor
Swift is right.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
He said, Taylor Swift is right, and I'm about I'm
already tuned out because I'm like, what is he even
talking about? Okay, Taylor Swift is right about what this
is pre Kelsey, this is a.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
While she's right about cashmere sweaters.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
He's like, Taylor Swift is right, and I'm like, Okay,
the world's on the edge of their seat to hear
this amazing point.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
He goes, there's.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Really when you think about it, guys, there are two
types of people and they're like, okay, he goes, when
you think about it, the player it's gonna play.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Like play play, and a hater it's gonna eat hate, hate,
hate facts.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm like, what, yes, right, there's two types of people
like that. That's your point. That was my point. That
was his point. You're either a player or a hater.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
You what are you be daling now?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
No, it's a better way. There's two types of people
that are doing it. One type of person, you know,
living their life doing big things.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
You're reading lyrics or that, and.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Other people's gonna play play, play, play play.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Some people are doing big things.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Others are just sitting on the sidelines being haters that
are hate hate hating.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
So you know what, I'll go back to my point
from a couple of years ago.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
You asked, clowns there are two types of people, because
yesterday on Netflix, I thought they delivered as good of
a product as you could for a first run at
the NFL. They compiled right announcers Iron Eagle from CBS,
who we love. Greg Olsen was on one of the
games from Fox. We talked about how he's tops yer

(06:08):
Rosie Perez there for no reason. No, that's just that's
only fight spots, only fights. But they had Kay Adams,
who I'm a big fan of. Mina Kimes did great.
They had RG three and Mantiteo. It was like a
youthful halftime show. I thought they had decent chemistry. I
was not hating at all. I thought the graphics, the
coverage clearly all freelance from NBCCBS, Amazon and NBC. But

(06:31):
they put together a really good product for their first
shot at it NFL. On Netflix, I think, yeah, there
was some little eye rolliness in the pushing of other
Netflix properties, like.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
Yeah, like forced Netflix promos were a little much like.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Hey, look there's uh, you know, there's John Hamm. What's
going on John Hamm. I'll tell you what's going on
my new Netflix show.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah there was, But is that just over analyzing and
hyper awareness because you know, it's the first time it's
on Netflix, Because.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
You have to keep that in mind. Rich is right
about that.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Rich better point already here on Fox Sports Radio, Hay.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
If you weren't haway, that means you were playing right, No,
concause I think the other networks.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
I think the other networks coveno, they know how to
kind of ease into those promos and just show the
actor like in attendance and then mention it. And when
we're used to like Jim Nance's voice or a voice
doing that. But let's go to the sideline and then
they interview somebody for the Netflix show and the Netflix

(07:36):
show promos popping up.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
It just felt like it was pushed in our face.

Speaker 8 (07:39):
It was.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
It was a little batch.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
I know you're saying, like Jim Nance would be like,
welcome back to NFL on CBS. I'll look at there,
there's Jim Parsons. Don't forget Monday Nights exact Big Bang
Theory on CCREBO is like that. You're used to that
in the past. This was a blatant let's talk about
our hottest properties on Netflix. Hey, look, does Nate BARGHESI, Hey,
you know my new stand up special, Like it was pushed,

(08:02):
but I thought it was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Okay, I think.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Crossovers, cross promos. But again, you already said it, first
run at it. You look at anybody's first run on anything,
it's never gonna be where it's at.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Now, first run at it. Let's think of the positive.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I'm gonna give it all to you, rich because I
wasn't able to watch because it was on a flight.
But from the flight looking in, when you talk about
that cast, if you have complaints about menachimes, I think, hey,
k Adams balances that out right, They balance each other, right,
I thought. I think they're both great. I think Greg

(08:39):
Golds is great. RG three is great. I think that
whole cast, like you said, I think if you want
to focus on the positives, I think they're great and
they're only going to get bat We.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Always talk about the world loves to hate as a
first instinct. Might one might say hate, hate hate. It's
our default setting and it is bad because it's like, oh,
that's stunk. I really want you then tell me what
really stuck about it? What Kay Adams, who was fantastic?
What if you do DraftKings or FanDuel one of her shows, right,

(09:07):
she was on the NFL Network she's good, mean to Collams,
ESPN talented and I really thought RG three and meant Titeo,
you know, brought like a fun youth to the set.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
And it was only the halftime.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
In pregame, they had a couple Netflix celebrities spiced in
here and there, and I thought, I an Eagle made
the funny joke when he.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Was with JJ Watt and who else was he with?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
And he said, Hey, if you're turning into Netflix, I know, right,
the Stranger Kid the Stranger Things kids got old real quick.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
He even made a like a fun liner. I thought
it was great Beyonce.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
People are saying that was better than some of the
halftime shows of Super Bowls passed.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well, I think it was cool. Again, I only saw highlights.
I got to make that very clear. So I'd love
to hear from the opinions of the Fox Sports Radio
Dan Patrick Nation eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Because the feedback on social media was split.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I think it's cool that post belone came out, but
I did hear that it wasn't that good. Like there's
a lot of questions posed of hey, what did you
think of these performances, and those questions are posed because
not everybody was feeling good.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
As the phrase goes, opinions like buttholes. Everyone's got one
and most of them staking.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Always reading lyrics. Again, no, it's opinions are like podcasts.
Everybody got one.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
I think there would have been less criticism if the
games were more competitive, because overall it left a little
bit of a bad taste for Christmas Day because we
were hoping for some good matchups.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
G buh bam.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
That was like when I was getting at If the
games were competitive, they were good, you don't think there
would be less complaints about what was going on. Look
what they had to work with here, two boring games.
In reality, they were just trying to polish a turd.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
These games were not competitive.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah, I mean score of sixty to twelve, twenty nine, ten,
and thirty one two. The games were not competitive, no doubt,
in fact, no diggity, no doubt. But I think Netflix
as a whole. You turned on your TV, you're smart TV.
There was you clicked on Netflix. As soon as you
clicked on Netflix, they gave you the live option. Hey

(11:21):
we're doing NFL today, Boom play, you can rewind, fast
forward stop.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
There was no weird. It was even easy for your
parents to find, is what you're saying, no doubt. And
again they.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Hired out some big guns, Iron Eagle, Gara, greg Olsen.
They had some familiar faces from ESPN, from Fan Duel
and DraftKings, and all the networks had their own little
way of throwing one or two of their guys or
girls in. I thought it was great, and anyone that
hated it truly was just the type of person that's

(11:55):
instinct is to just pounce and hate hate.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Remember there's players and haters. Jey Switch is right, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Let me let me read what you actually said, just
to get the phones going, because we're going to you now.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. As an observer
on a plane, all I saw was a lot of
split people on this Rich is saying it was really good,
especially for a first run. He said, Netflix killed it.
Everybody sucks. That's what you said, and I want you

(12:25):
to stick to that.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I think Netflix did.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Like, if you are part of the Netflix production, you
got to be waking up today saying, hey, listen, we
had four Marquee teams, two trash games. But as far
as the coverage, the graphics, who we freelanced from Fox, CBS, ESPN.
We put together a quality product. We brought Beyonce in

(12:50):
to do the halftime show, where again my algorithm showed
more people loving Beyonce than hating Beyonce. And it's wild
to see back to back comments on Twitter or Instagram
or TikTok where one person could be like better than
any halftime show in the last decade, and then other
people were like trash.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
I thought the overall.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Production, the only thing I thought suck butt cheeks was
Mariah Carey.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
And I'll tell you why you gotta say deflated but
cheeks if you're gonna say that.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
The only thing that was the equivalent of whack ass
deflated butt cheeks was my interpretation of something. And I'm
wondering if you could think of other examples of when
something was advertised and you're like, that's not what.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I thought was happening.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I thought Mariah Carey was gonna be at Hinzfield fifty
yard line wearing like some fur with some you know,
people with bells, and like a gospel man behind her,
and she was gonna sing All I want for Christmas
is you to kick off the NFL on Christmas Day.
It was like a pre made video that she could

(14:04):
have very well recorded six months ago. It was the
whackest crap I've ever seen in my life. I'm like,
that's the Mariah Carey kickoff, like a weird taped version
of her singing the songs she sung a million times.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Super weak.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
That is the only ridiculously weak element of the NFL
on Netflix.

We're gonna get to that plus old school in fifty
hits And what did lebron say about the NFL yesterday?

Speaker 3 (16:04):
We got that coming up.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
But back to your phone calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine, Oh Fox, I'm Steve Cavino live in Jersey.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
That's rich tonyg Mark and Spotty back on the west side.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
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

(16:36):
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

(16:59):
the same time hate him.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Speaking of Mike 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 (17:11):
After the game, Danny, there was a sense of I
hate damn. Yeah, so good.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
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 Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Trying to trying to cut back on on the on
the calories.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
Yeah, so I'm gonna laugh the cake right now. But uh,
we pretty much dominated the whole game, and I got
a cool jacket on right now.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
You see, uh, you see RG three in the post
game bury his facing that cake. He was like, oh,
I'm like, damn, 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 picture thought.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Kansas City and.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
The super confident in the should be Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
At fifteen to one, they get to buy.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
After that, we talked about it's all about Buffalo and
Baltimore and those two teams that have elite talent, Lamar
Josh Allen to 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 (18:20):
After that, the four seed.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
By the way, 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.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Wow, a cool cross promotion for Netflix in 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.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
As much as you like to root for CJ.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Stroud and that team really did turn around their organization
faster than you thought postseason for a second year in
a row. They can't compete at that level. And 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 (19:09):
Then the five seed, Pittsburgh, you saw what happened yesterday.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
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. You can't drop two interceptions,
can't 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

(19:34):
the Denver Broncos to AFC West teams. The only way
I see any team making any like Whoah making some
noise might be if the Cincinnati Bengals slip into the playoffs,
because I don't know if you're aware of how the Bengals,
somehow Someway could have a shot because they played the

(19:56):
Broncos this coming week. They win that game, they end
again the Steelers. If Joe Burrow and the Bengals slipping
at nine to eight and they're clicking offensively, 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

(20:18):
monster of the AFC. Mahomes Lamar Josh Allen.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
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 (20:30):
Yeah, but the help they need, the Denver help they need,
isn't that bad because Denver has to play the Bengals,
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

(20:53):
Mahomes Kelsey and Hollywood Brown who's just getting acclimated.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
You think you want to rest them for three full weeks.
Then they also need the Colts and the Dolphins to
each lose. They need help.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
But when you look at the schedule Cincinnati, it's not
crazy to think that they slide in.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
So your thoughts and then, uh, let me throwing the.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
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 (21:22):
Dude, it was crazy back and forth in that game,
crazy back and forth.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Lebron comes out on top and he said this, I
love the NFL. I love NFL.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Christmas.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Our day is Christmas, the NBA's day.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
And did the NBA actually win it?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
They may have just based on that Lakers Golden State
Warriors game and he 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,
Lake still win it. But I think what upsets you

(22:04):
is the fact that you know the NBA could be
that all the time.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
It just isn't right.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
You know what the NBA is capable of, And it's
that it's.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Like on your anniversary when your wife does all kinky stuff,
like you can do this all the time if you want, right,
it's a good annealegment.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
That really is a good anno. I mean like just like.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
That, I mean, spot when the NBA delivers like that,
You're like, you can't do this all the time.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
What you do this a couple of times a year? Wait,
that's usually off the table.

Speaker 7 (22:33):
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

(22:55):
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 (23:09):
Got lots of props on that.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
It was nice to see, like Danny G said, and
it really did remind you that the NBA is capable
of some excitement.

Speaker 9 (23:17):
Man.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
That was a great game, a lot of history there.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
The Lakers come out on top with a like Danny
G said, a cool bucket from Reeves, some great shots
by Curry.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
You know, if you want to go, what was more exciting? Rich?

Speaker 2 (23:30):
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 (23:40):
Let's let's go to t in Georgia.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
You're all a convenient Rich, what's up MANDNR.

Speaker 10 (23:46):
What's that fella? Set up any g 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 Cincinnatity.
I would has Cincinnati come in there in the end,
but like y'all said, they need a lot of help.
The Holliday hat trick as one of the best names.

(24:07):
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 have
enough games to where they have these spaced out events
where you can tune into those events Christmas Day, all
Star Playoffs. You know, with the with the NFL being

(24:29):
only seventeen sixteen, you know games, you're more less 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 where in those moments like Christmas,
like yesterday, a slew of great games and you know,
that they're capable of those every so often. You just
can't pull it out every you know, all eighty two

(24:51):
you feel me. That's why you know NBA MLB is
so kind of shaky with one hundred and sixty two games.
But they're changing their model, so you know, that's basically it.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, take great points, Bro, great call, and Rich I
gotta give you promps too.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
That was a great bedroom analogy.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
When it came to the NBA, 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?
You know, But I think there's some truth to what
he said right there. I mean, based on that game.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
If you want to make it.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Less smutty, you could say generally in a relationship, when
a guy does something romantic, you know a lot of
times a wife or a girlfriend is thinking like, see
you have it in you, like you just choose not
to be romantic, 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 (25:50):
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 (26:05):
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 JFK. I'm not a
conspiracy guy. But would it surprise you if you were
to say, get win that Adam Silver called up both

(26:27):
teams and was like, yo, bring it.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Huh.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
I don't think he would need to do that for
a Christmas game.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying like scripted or
anything like that. I'm saying would 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, bring it.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
I think every Danny's right.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised Rich, but I think
everybody sort of knew that and felt that.

Speaker 7 (26:54):
Yeah, when you see Starting five on Netflix, Jason Tatum
was upset last season because 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

(27:16):
that he finished with thirty eight, by the way, and
Lebron always.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Turned on the last game.

Speaker 7 (27:23):
Yeah, right, and Lebron always knows when you know, he
how many households he's visiting.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
So those guys didn't need any reminds Santa Claus Now
he sees you when you're sleeping too. He's got the
Santa Beard now. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
On Christmas Eve, my kids and I were watching Lebron Tracker.
You don't let's take he's on the four or five.
Let's take a call from Andy, and Andy wanted to
talk NBA 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 (27:54):
What's up? Andy?

Speaker 8 (27:56):
As Oh the way I look at it with the NFL,
it was great. I think they learned a lot from
the type it and Logan Paul fight to really know
j Paul, I mean, I'm sorry about that, brum. You know,
not hav any buffers happening during the live stream pre

(28:17):
recording videos.

Speaker 10 (28:18):
Out of the question.

Speaker 8 (28:19):
And I just like to sprinkled this in Lebron and
Steph Curry.

Speaker 10 (28:22):
They are to get that.

Speaker 11 (28:23):
Just keep on giving.

Speaker 8 (28:25):
Honestly, what is the NBA going to do when.

Speaker 10 (28:29):
They are not here?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
That is a great question fall off, like like it
did when Jordan retired. It's you you need your star
stars stars now they're stars.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
But 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 Kicch or you know,
some of these European players don't have that.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Bam you and no one will deny his.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Not the guy that's going to be the face of
the NBA that's going to get you tuned in.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
It's just not going to happen.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Let's say, how to Aaron one last phone call and
then uh, we'll move on.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
What's up? Body coming on wretch?

Speaker 10 (29:13):
Aaron, Hey, what's going on? Guys?

Speaker 3 (29:15):
What's up?

Speaker 10 (29:17):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (29:17):
I was calling in regards to how you guys are
talking about the toys and stuff.

Speaker 10 (29:21):
Yeah, well, my mom when we.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
Were younger, she threw away our comic books.

Speaker 12 (29:26):
Wolverine number one, two, four?

Speaker 3 (29:29):
What that? Yeah, by the way, that's it.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
That's that's unbelievably the sad story of so many of
our parents generation, right, like how.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Many times you cards but now currently Pokemon cards? Rich,
I hear that all the time.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Mom, you threwing my Pokemon But 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 the mout. But you, Rich, you made such
a good point before all the crap they kept, right,
Like you decided to keep the pogo stick and the

(30:06):
croquet set, but.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
For some reason you had to throw away my baseball
cards and my you know, whatever was valuable to me.

Speaker 13 (30:13):
But for every like valuable item that ended up becoming
more valuable. There was like a beanie baby that you did. Indeed,
so it was like it was through the way the
Princess Diana beanie baby.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
You didn't know.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
You know what, do you know my wife 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

(30:46):
dollars in auction.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, Ken, Golden problem is it? Is it ever your instinct?

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Is it ever your instinct to be like should I
buy a couple of random things and just not open them?

Speaker 7 (30:56):
Do you know my grandmother in Long Beach, she threw
away my grandma's Playboy collection, But in our garage, our
old roller skates and skateboards with steel wheels, like metal
wheels and.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Arrest she kept those. That's the commonality here. I think
that's the greatest point we've made so far.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
And Richard, your mom threw away all your Sweet Yankees memorabilia,
but she kept your She kept your social studies notebook
from agriand.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Dude, that's the truth.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yet she has my trapper keeper upstairs for some reason.
In the attic, 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

(31:44):
guys don't care, then why should we care?

Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I like that fight in that pride.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
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
radios dying you as a radio host, what would you.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Say was like, you're wrong. Audio entertainment all time high,
and you start getting defensive and.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Right because you have a pride in that right.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
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.
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.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Said it respectfully. Yeah, because who doesn't love it?

Speaker 4 (32:35):
And if you missed hearing Lebron say it, take a
listen one more time yesterday after the Lakers game.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I love the NFL. I love NFL Christmas Day. A playful,
prideful statement.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
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 and 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

(33:10):
you go on social media and there's still hater hater haters,
there's still people hating.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
And it to me because what rich Da ain't playing
playing play.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
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 Rando family members. You were wearing your
pajamas all day, Like why do you Why is your
instinct to hate? Just think about that as you move
into twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Why lead with that? Stinks? Yeah, you know I like
that thought too. We're entering a new year.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
If we have any influence at all, we should all
change at the fall and help in assisting other people change.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
You have their default like, hey, dude, you need a hug.
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
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 (34:07):
Anything to be like that stinks.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
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 sort
of stunk.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
But and by the way, it's probably where the future
is heading, right, So what do you do? Be the
reluctant guy and then be the guy who's not on board,
be the old guy.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
And you 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 downloading Queen
Bee albums the minute they come out. But yeah, how
to acknowledge the fact that she brought out some stars
post Malone 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 probably

(34:52):
a big win for the NFL.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
I think it's hard to not come across as a hater.
If you were used to be stunk Christmas, you had
two football games on, get over yourself.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
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 WAPP.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
If you missed any of our show, search Covino and
Rich wherever you stream. In fact, just search it anyway, follow,
rate and review because we do this every day five
to seven on the East Monday through Friday, and two
to four on the West side. But just search Covino
and Rich. CoV I n O, just a kid from Union,
New Jersey on the lebron of the Show, yea I'm
too big when it matters. Rich Davis always thought about

(35:36):
you Covino the lebron of the show, but I was,
I usually think about the hairline.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
That's usually what I'm thinking. Hey, I thought our.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Last conversation had a little more juice to be squeezed
out of it. So if you want to chime in
at Covin on Rich later on what quarterback being that
today was the release of Squid Game two.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
What quarterback?

Speaker 4 (35:54):
If your life was on the line, what current quarterback
would you put the ball in the hands of? And
my thought was, you can't include Mahomes in this conversation
because he would be ninety five out of one hundred
people's answer.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Stop giving us rules. Yeah, Richness rules.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
At Cobino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, on social media,
and we move on because every Thursday on our show
we bring it to you. On Dan Patrick, we do
a little old school in fifty hits, an old school
throwback Thursday sort of conversation. And today we celebrate Lars
from Metallica. Now Metallica formed in La October late October

(36:34):
nineteen eighty one. Lars and James Hetfield original members, along
with Dave Mustaine from Mega Deeth Fame.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
Good morning me, it's me again. Hey, Dave Mustaine, big
fan of Covino, That rich guy I'm not too sure of.
Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney and as you know, Kirk
Hammett and Rob Truheio the members now of Metallica, but
they transcend generations. They've been doing it since the early eighties.

(37:04):
Hit it big in the nineties.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Like I said, the Black Album sold more albums than
Nirvana never mind, but when you think nineties rock, you
think Nirvana Black Album legendary. A lot of people like
the old stuff.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
I mean. The point is, Lars has been doing this
for a long ass time.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Out Today's sixty first birthday, and every year the same
conversation comes up.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Metallica come on halftime Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
They are one of the few rock bands that could
translate on that main stage that I wouldn't be shocked
if before all was said and done and we're run
out of time, they're not getting any younger. Get Metallica
out there. If you're a rock fan, I'm sure that
would be something you would want.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
But here's the question.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
You see Lars, you see Metallica. Many that see them
do shows still say they got it?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
They do, and they've been doing it. Look kill them all.
To put it in perspective. Came out in eighty three,
going to be twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Five, forty plus years ago. Who is standing the test
of time? What athlete, what musician? What actor? Who hasn't
lost a step? And I'm not gonna intentionally try to
throw many people under the bus, but when you think about.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
The flip side.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Just recently, a guy that I still think has guests
in the tank, Bob Costas, removed himself from baseball play
by play begauc He's like, yeah, it's not for me anymore.
Letterman was wise to know a daily late night talk
show not for me. And he's doing great now with
his Netflix special that he does every so often where
he'll do a couple of fun interviews. But knowing when

(38:39):
to walk away is a skill in itself. But who
still has the juice? One person comes to mind for me.
Can you know in the music world, And I know
it's a fact because I don't even really care for
this performer, but they haven't missed a beat. You're in
New Jersey right now, so people in your home state
will be disgusted by me saying I don't even love

(38:59):
this guy, Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I know, dude, I'm more of a Bonjovy guy if
we're gonna talk Jersey bands. But you're right, he's a legend.
I mean, he's still in shape. I saw a picture
of him where he looks more like Woitoty Allen than
Woody Allen. Looks like Woody Allen. Have you seen that one?

Speaker 9 (39:17):
I have.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
But he's still ripped still, and he still puts on
a performance.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
I mean, listen, I'm I'm an East Coast guy, even
though I live out here in LA. I'm more of
a like I said, bon Jovi or Billy Joel or
certain artists. But Billy Joel's the guy that still brings
it on stage. But I'm picturing Billy Joel uptown girl
in the eighties with hair, and he's dancing around.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
Now Billy Joel.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Limps around the stage with a bed knee. Hey, he
could still play the piano. He's the freaking piano man.
But Billy Joel's not an answer in this conversation. But
I saw Bruce Springsteen at a small venue show a
couple of years back. Spot you were there serious XM.
He's crowdsurfing, jumping around the stage. And I'm pretty sure
how old is Bruce Springsteen sick looked at us, he is,

(39:56):
He's one hundred and sixty three. He really is still
able to deliver. So my number one answer in the
music world might be Bruce springsto he still hit those
notes seventy five. Oh my gosh, I love you.

Speaker 10 (40:09):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Can you imagine your dad crowdsurfing and jumping.

Speaker 13 (40:12):
Like on a he climbed levels at the Apollo Theater.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Yeah, they're amazed that he still has that energy level
to perform that way and he's still in shape. So,
you know, Rich, that's a great it's a great answer
as far as again, we're celebrating longevity in the world
of sports and entertainment. So the numbers eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox if you want to get involved

(40:37):
here on the Cavino and Rich Show, you think he
could hit that?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
You think you hit that?

Speaker 9 (40:45):
Dude?

Speaker 5 (40:46):
I think you could.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
You know what, here's a good question, Danny. I want
you to think of this angle too. We're talking a
lot of music. What about coaches. Sometimes a coach's style
sort of expire expires yeah, like he may connect with
the players and now you're like, no, no, your style
with the story.

Speaker 7 (41:06):
You almost have to be a jolly, lovable coach like
Andy Reid. He has to stand in the test.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
He's the oldest coach in the NFL and he's on
the top of his game on a fifteen to one team.
But a lot of times you'll be like, nah, some
of these young thirty eight to forty something year old
NFL coaches Mike connect Moore, and you know, many would
argue that's why Belichick couldn't find the job in the
NFL real quick, because people are like, yo, you're a legend,

(41:32):
six super Bowls, you and Tom Brady.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
But uh yeah, that was then.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
This is now, and you may want to McVeigh or
you know, a Kyle Kyle Shanahan type or some younger,
different type of thinker.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
I'll give you, guys, a rapper who is so beloved
that he became a really good actor and still wraps
up to par with M and M on Murder Graham
on his new album The Force, produced by Q tip
ll Cool on the Scene in nineteen eighty four Crush Groove,
famous movie you guys know well from the East Coast, Yeah,

(42:07):
eighty five, and he reinvented himself so many times musically
and obviously acted in movies and TV shows and you know,
you think of the police TV shows and there's Ll
Cool Jay's mug. But his fourteenth studio album was released
in September and it still hits the way youngster's music

(42:29):
hits right now, like he has not fallen off whatsoever.
So as far as longevity and the hip hop world,
ll cool J stands right on top.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Who's holding up is the question? I love that answer
so much, Danny G. I wish I came up with it.
I think that's a great answer, and I think part
of it has to do with looking the part too.
I give a lot of the credit not only to
you know, his skill level and his commitment, but how
great he still looks and how he stays in shape.
That has a lot to do with it, because it

(42:59):
makes him still real of it in my mind, like
Ll cool J still looks the part, and he's been
doing it since the eighties. Guys, and let me tie
this to sports real quick. Ladies love Cool James. Of
course you love him as an actor, like dannag said,
But he's in one of your favorite football movies nineteen
ninety nine, Any Given Sunday, right as an actor. But

(43:20):
what's the term that we use all the time in sports?

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Goat? Right, the goat?

Speaker 2 (43:25):
If I'm not mistaken, he is credited, Yeah, sometimes, you
know in some circles he's credited. You mentioned his what
thirteen fourteen albums in that Lone Jay.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
Yeah, his fourteenth album dropped in September in two thousand.
He came out with the Goat.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Now, remember Rich, prior to that, we always use the
goat as like a term to describe a curse or
the mush. He's the goat based on the curve of
the billy goat from the cups, right, like the goat?
Oh man, like that was a bad thing. The goat
became a good thing when ll cool J came out
with the Goat the Greatest of all time, and that

(44:01):
sort of changed how we even used the term. I
love that answer, and again I think looking the part
gives him a lot of longevity. My answer that the
first thing that came to mind, and because it's fresh
on my mind when you think of longevity, because Lars
turned sixty one, they've been doing it since eighty something Metallica.

(44:22):
His birthday was yesterday. He just passed away at sixty five.
Ricky Henderson, dude, because it's fresh on my mind. We're
talking about Ricky Henderson last week. You look at the
back of a baseball card, You're like, dang, dude, this
dude played twenty five years in the big leagues and
then he played like years after in the minor leagues.

(44:42):
And then Danny g said something that felt weird when
he said it, but then I understood what he meant.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
He was like, yeo, man, I feel like he wasn't
playing that long ago.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
And it's because you know, when you look and think
about it, it wasn't that long ago. He was playing
with the Mets and the Dodgers, Like, it wasn't that
long ag.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Yeah, he didn't stand the test of time because you know,
he died the other day and he hasn't been playing
for hot longevity.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Yeah the game, dude, he played over twenty five. Yeah,
he may have died a little too soon, but he
had longevity. Man, his career longevity, yeah was off the charts.
He was off the charts, all right. Yeah, I'm sorry
he passed away. But as far as career longevity, man,
that dude brought it, and it's just fresh on my mind.
His birthday was yesterday. I was just looking at how
many years he played. If you get, dude, if you

(45:28):
get sixteen fifteen years out of somebody professionally, now you're like, whoa,
he did twenty five and then if you count his
minor league years, like more than that, it's pretty wildly
you just don't see that anymore. So anyway, I came
to mind, but if you because he passed away at
those change things.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
But I was talking professionally. Yeah, you know Mark scot One,
what's up Mark?

Speaker 14 (45:51):
I know he's about to retire from concerts and he
is the goat in my mind. Elton John still the
one of the greatest yea. He performed until the guy's
losing his eyesight.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
He I saw his last play at Dodger Stadium, and
you know, he's an older dude, but it's wild when
you see people will still come out to see Elton John.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
He has a Christmas swag with Ed Sheeran.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
A couple of years ago he sort of reinvented himself
with Dua Lipa and Britney spears releasing stuff a couple
of years ago. So Elton John, I think because of
that crazy longevity.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Yeah, the fact that he was able.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
To do that, the fact that he you know, remix
some of his songs with some of some younger female artists.
I think they gave him that feather in his cap
where he had like number one songs in all these
different decades.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Right.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
His debut album, Empty Sky, I think came out in
sixty nine.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Dude, and he's still sixty now.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
That might be that might be a top like technical
answer there, based on like he was putting out songs
that charted from the sixties till recently.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
Yeah, but you know what you see how it's not
easy because even a guy like Steven Tyler recently is
calling the you know, con quits in the performing side
of things. Right, yes, even Tyler, you forg get tired,
you forget dream on was like fifty years ago, and
they were making songs for soundtracks in our you know,
in our childhood in the nineties two thousand. So So again,
longevity artists, athletes who stood the test of time. I

(47:13):
got a I got give me this is there an
age limit for you? Meaning it's someone too young where
you're like, dude, they're still sot young. Hmmm, Because like
I look at I look at a guy, someone say,
I look at a guy every day that looks like.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
This guy, Steve Cavino, Mario Lopez.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
As much as there's times where you look at me like, yeah,
mariy O Lopez a c slid, I want to punch
this guy in the nose. He is in probably better
shape than he's ever been. He's always working on something.
You look around Mary Opez, always on TV hosting something,
and if you follow him on social media, seems like
he's really good dad. It's like he's always dancing with
this always dancing with his kids, and I'm like, yo,
Mario Lopez, Like he's one of those guys. I'm like,

(47:57):
is he as as big now as he was saved
by the bellant?

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Everywhere? He's at the boxing scene. I saw him ringside
at the Fury Using fight.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
He's in Saudi Arabia, he's got his boxing podcast with
Steve Ordolay Kim. Look, I think that's a great I
really think that's a great answer. I loved everybody's answers
so far, so don't let us down Fox Sports Radio Nation.
Those are some great answers. I may have had the
worst answer because Ricky Anderson died, but I was talking
career lunch Yeah. I mean, I'm not talking a career lunge.

(48:26):
I mean I'm saying like this person. I mean, I
hate to say it, but I think the answer to
the prisoner should be alive.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Like there.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
You watch them now and yeah, they may not be
who they were, but they're still delivering. I have one
last controversial one. Not controversial, that's the wrong word. I
have one that you might not agree with, but I
still think and a lot of people be like, no,
he not anymore. I still hear al Michael's voice and

(48:53):
it feels like a big game to me. I know,
people say he's lazy, and his presentation is a little lackluster,
and sometimes his call seems a little unenthusiastic. But I
just think his voice alone still makes me feel like
it's important. When I hear Al Michael's voice, it feels
important to me. Danny, the later days of Vince Scully,

(49:13):
you probably felt the same way. He wasn't the same guy,
i'd imagine, but hearing his voice made it feel big.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
There was nothing like it.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Let's go to Tim in Michigan. Kevino will go to
all the phone calls.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
What do you think?

Speaker 4 (49:26):
Longevity? It's Lar's birthday? What artist lands? The test of time?

Speaker 10 (49:31):
Great show, guys. You guys are the best chill in
for the DP show.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Thanks man. I hope you guys get the job when
he retires. I hope so too. Kind of going across
the tracks here, but I can't believe she's been stealing
this crap for forty years.

Speaker 11 (49:46):
And still doing it.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
Whoopie.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
You know what, as much as I as much as
I think The View might be the most unwatchable show
on planet Earth, Whoopy is in the spotlight and has
never really gone away.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
So you got a credit, Whoopy Goldberg? That right? I
mean it's not easy to stay relevant for decades doing
it since sister act.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah, man, I think, uh it's a great answer even
before that.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Yeah, she's been out forever, dude, that's uh. Yeah. I
like her and Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
I feel like I always picture them together, right, Yeah,
comic relief, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
That's it. Yeah, that's what it was. Uh, Travis at La,
what's up?

Speaker 12 (50:27):
Man?

Speaker 3 (50:27):
Can you don't rich.

Speaker 11 (50:30):
Yeah, you know, Steve, The reason I don't think you
could have Metallica on the halftime show is you don't
want to hear thirty seconds. You know they do those medalis.
You don't want to hear thirty seconds of the Metallica song.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yeah, you don't even get to kill her solos or
anything like that.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Yeah, there'll be too many, not enough. Oh yeah, like
you need you know, you need some of those.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (50:50):
But even if they did three strong songs, that would
still be amazing decison, you know.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
The fun fact though, the fun fact is if they
were asked, it's impossible for James Field to say no,
oh yeah. So if jay Z asked him, like, yeah,
would you do this, James is only capable of saying.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Yeah, show yourself out. Honestly, if you were to do
a Metallica halftime show, enter sam Man Fuel. They got
songs for like what's the mainstream ones where you can
make the argument that, like your mom would know the songs.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Nothing else matters, but true, wherever I may roam, the
unforgiven one like I mean, it goes on.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
All right, even the casual fan would know all this.
But in Austin what artist, announcer, athlete who do you
credit to having a great longevity?

Speaker 12 (51:45):
Oh, you guys are great. I love listening to first
of all, thanks man, Uh what longevity? Look, they're on
too right now and you got to keep your numbers
up and appeal to almost everybody. Sticks an re e O.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
You know, I actually have a relative that's a big
Sticks fan, and they swear that they still deliver on
a high level. Listen if if a retro act is
still touring and still filling up scene.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
But look, that's that may be a great answer to him,
but we have to be real about it. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
There's the difference between the Elton John answer that Mark
gave us and that one is like Elton John still
still made relevant music up until recently.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
I mean, I do love and I can't fight this
feeling anymore.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
No, songs are great, but when's the last time they
made a song that anyone cared about?

Speaker 3 (52:33):
That's that's the only difference.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
And I'm only saying that for technicalityality reasons. No, you're right,
they're probably still great. I'm not going to deny that longevity.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
Would you say that from his college days to his
NBA days to where he is now in life, Shaquille
O'Neal has done a great job of staying in our
in our face. I mean, he has done a fantastic
job commercial.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
I got a podcast starting. It's called not only pop
Culture called Shaq.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Blackfee, Shack Blackavie, Oh Club Shock Shack Shuck standing in
line at CDs the other day.

Speaker 7 (53:09):
I sent you guys the photo. He has his own
line of sour Gummy candies now.

Speaker 15 (53:13):
Sour Gummy Candies, reinvented myself, hire commercials, a TV show.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Shack the world from the minute you saw him from
the from LSU till now, Shaquille O'Neal has stayed in
our in our vision or slightly in your peripheral.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
He is always Notice I'm one hundred and fifty years old,
So I mean we've know, we've know, we have known.
I'm being serious. We have no longer I'm an actor.
We have known Shack and we've got to meet Shack
and it's a true pleasure.

Speaker 15 (53:40):
He's a great Love Shack Love Shock B fifty two
is about me, Think about me. Love Baby Shack is
love Shack.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
Shack has been in our life thirty plus years and
if you know, if you want to see something funny,
google Covino and Rich. Go to YouTube and search Covino
and Rich Shack. There's a video and it's one of
my favorite moments. I'm not I'm not patting myself on
the back, but it really was awesome.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
I'm sorry. My own radio station called Radio.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Shack I Radio. There's a video of Shaq and myself
singing white guy Favorites and it's like journey and all
like cheesy and Shack's like guy favorites with you.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Very funny video. Just find that. But you know why
I did that, because you're the whitest guy I've ever seen.
Let's go to Baker Baker in Illinois. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 9 (54:31):
Hey? Speaking of Lars in Metallica, I've seen him four
times in the last fifteen months. And those guys are
all four of them over sixty years old and they
are still kicking my ass every time I go crazy.
So you've got to go see him.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
Yeah, dude, I don't.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
I feel like it's always something you want to say,
because you know, when you think of yourself, you're like, oh,
I don't I don't want to get older. I'm convinced
though at what used to be forty, what used to
be fifty or sixty, what you used to consider getting
older older is just changing so much. Where I think

(55:10):
of my grandparents, well, my grandparents were in their sixties
and seventies. I felt like they look like they were
fresh out of the Revolutionary Wars.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
Seriously, it's at different times.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Like my grandmother wore a moomo. My grandfather fought in wars,
who was a mechanic, Like that.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Was all hard. And your grandpa's ear lobes were down
to his shoulders, Yeah, it was like they were.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
My grandfather was like missing a finger because his brother
cut it off. And they were kids, like they lived
a wild, hard war depression. Like I said, my grandparents
died in their early seventies, I felt like they were
one hundred and seventy. I see our parents now that
are roughly seventy, and they're like going on cruises, living life, retired,
wearing like clothes they bought in the last couple of years.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Like it's just a different world.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
So when I hear some of these artists still rocking
it on stage at sixty, or athletes that are playing
into their mid forties now, I really do think it
is different now. I don't think it's because we're aging.
Like man, I think I look better than most forty somethings.
I really do think if you look at a picture
of yourself compared to your parents, you do look younger.
