Hope you had of Panthers, Raiders, Danny G's Raiders sort

So hope all your team's one. We have lots to
get to in the world of the NFL and MLB.
We do it every Monday. We call it Things that
made you go Hmmm. We're giving away prizes last one standing.

(00:54):
And as far as today, Richie said, you're exhausted. Can
it be more exhausted? With all this action we got
going on tonight? You got a double doozy of NFL football,
you got two great baseball games. So we're gonna tell
you what matters most later today lots to get to.
Like I said, before we get into all that, I
just have something I wanted to bring up because I

(01:15):
feel like I'm a pretty casual, laid back guy when
it comes to like, you know, people go into stores
and places with their pets. I understand you're going to
get takeout, you're walking your dog. It's more of a thing.
And by the way, Rich isn't talking yo yo tricks.
Iowa Sam when he says walking your dog, man, we
know we're gonna talk about yoyo's. We know Sam's a
duncan master, he's a champion, but we're talking la which

(01:39):
is next to level different.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
No, it's way worse here in Los Angeles, Becau. Everybody
walks around their foofye dog and they think they could
do whatever they want. No social media change that. Everyone's
foofy dogs and people. Dude, when I go back to Jersey,
even Jerseys nowhere near as bad as it is here
in California as far as people bringing their doggie into

(02:02):
every establishment because they think they can. There's signs outside
of the mall here, right right outside of the mall. Yeah,
signs don't bring fluffers into the establishment, and people don't
give a deadly squat and they do it anyway that
they're gonna use the phrase mangy mut They still bring
their mangy mud in regardless because they think it's their baby.

(02:24):
I will roll my eyes at a lot of people,
but I understand it.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, I love my dog.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Going to get takeout. You're going to get you know,
food somewhere running errand oh man, I gotta go get
some batteries at CBS. Ah, but I'm walking my dog.
I'm not a jerk about it. I will roll my
eyes at you, but I saw something at Chipotle that
I can't allow in my mind.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
But I did. You have to get it off your
handsome gentleman's chest.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
If you look on my Instagram story, if you think
I'm BS and you I go to Chipotle last night
after my daughter's softball game, Oh I believe that, and
down for some Chipotle. Let me get a little britle ball,
feel good about myself. Were the best of the fast
food out there?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You don't feel bad after having Chipotle like oh I was,
actually because it's heavy.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I feel like I eat all that I'm like, you
feel heavyer. There's a lot of sodium.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, after a giant brito bowl taco bells love it
more sodium. Don't get it twisted. I'll house that all
the fast. I feel heavy afterwards. I don't know you
asked me. I say brown rice. I'm not saying that courses,
but it sits heavy on you. I think, yeah, I'm
the rich. I think Chipotle is. You feel much better
after eating that than like anything, because you know it's
not that bad for it. It's a lot more fresh.

(03:35):
Right behind them, they're cooking the chicken on the ground.
You got chicken and gualk over rice. Like that's like
saying it is not healthy. I said, it feels heavy.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
And a lot of us A rich ruin it with
forty five chips and gualk and sour creamy.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
For every tortilla chip, for every four tortillera chips, that's
one tortilla case. So don't get all that corn. I'm
in line waiting. I take a double take. The guy
in front of me, did you just chug a monster
energy drink?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
What are you? Twenty five? Going to the club on
the beacon of health? Continue?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
He's telling me about Chipotle. This guy is ruining his insides.
His insides are rotting. Sugar free, bro stuff's corrosive.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Way.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
If it's if as sugar free, what do you think
is in there? I don't know. I found it in
the fridge. He found in the fridge.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Huh interesting somebody, you're probably missing one, right man, I
think they are, So tell me about your Covino's like
finders keepers.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm like, dude, it was in the fridge, losers weepers.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
So anyway, long story show, We're gonna get to this
one sponsored by ed Gean stop it Mothers sponsored by
Bo Benson.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Mother says not to drink energy drinks. They're forridgeesebels. But
I couldn't swear on that that ed Geen is the
number one stream show around the country and world right now.
And I've yet to watch.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Monsters Calling Monster. It's a It's good for the spooky season.
About the guy who inspired Silence of the Lambs, Psycho
Texas chains a masker. This guy did some crazy things,
but it's more of a fictional story than anything.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
What up Dan Byer His to where.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
It happened is not too far from where my sister lives.
And maybe about a little more than an hour from
my hometown Plainfield, right, yes, smack dab in the middle
of the great state of Wisconsin. And you could take
a short cut on a highway to go to my
sister's town to go right through Plainfield.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh, this gives me the willies.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
A little Cavino has been doing that impression off the
air for like two weeks now. I didn't even know
what he's doing, even know he had like a very
Bobby Bouchet mother situation going. Let me tell you, Charlie Haunham,
women love that dude. Apparently it's like award winning performance again.
I digress a metropolit in front of me. I posted

(05:40):
on my Instagram story at rich Davis if you want
to see some young twenty some of the year old
kid is ordering his food and he has a cat
on his head. He has like a cat crawling from
shoulders shoulder over his head and he's leaning over.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Like ok at corn and soa cream and walk.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
And you know, trying to detract from the fact that
you steal so much from that place with your utensils
and napkins. He's the bad guy for the taken em video.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
AI Sam, No, it was a.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
Legitimate video of Rich stealing napkins and forks, and get
saw it.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
It was real.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
But my point is, what do you do if you
see someone at a fast food place like a subway
or Chipotle where the food is literally out out there,
exposed and open, and some trabroni in front of you
has a cat crawling on their.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Shoulders, not that carrier, not in a little kennel. I think,
I really do.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
If you're a grown adult and you try to do
things the responsible way, you're a good guy.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I think you have the right.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
They say he takes a village, right, you see some
young idiot doing young idiot things. I don't think you
need to be mean about it and overstep, but you
call him out and just say something that addresses the
fact that you recognize that he's an idiot.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
So agreed, we're.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Gonna move into the NFL now hold on, But I
would I would love for your thoughts at covine on
Rich if you want to hit us up if you
see someone.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Have you seen the picture on my Instagram story.

Speaker 7 (07:01):
I saw the story and the cat was, yeah, on
the shoulders, and I don't even know if that violates
health regulations.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
But I went to a movie. I went to a
movie last Thursday and.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
Someone brought their duction puppy into one battle after another
which is full of explosions, and I'm like, that poor
dog just had PTSD and on the way out, I'm sorry.
The Karen and Meek emerged and I walked up and
I said, hey, did your dog enjoy the movie? And
there's this young woman. It was a young woman and
her boyfriend who was got her Sam, who's like in
their early twenties. And she turns on she's like ah,

(07:32):
and I'm like, yeah, I don't know, it's a little
loud in there. I just walked off. I couldn't help
myself because that dog just suffered through three and a
half three hours of explosions.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
That's the adult. What are you doing exactly? You're an adult,
and you addressed it, like why are you being such
an idiot?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's idiotic. That's a young screw up.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I think you don't have to be rude about it.
You don't have to be a Karen or a Darren
or Salmon. I couldn't help myself, Sam, I think that's fine.
You know, hey, it what's going on what's going on?
Hey cat Stevens, what's up? And he turns around what
I'm like, Yeah, I mean I just noticed you here
with a cat. You know, yo, it's up cool for cats?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
What up? Cat man? What a cat man? Don't? Cat
man don't? Why are you calling me that? Because you're
not supposed to do that? Cat Man don't? Did you
cool for cats? You're not? Cat man do? Cat Man don't?
And then he's like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
And it's like nothing, I just don't know why you're
here with a cat, Like you don't need to be
rude about it. But it's like, I see you with
your cat and we're here trying to eat. So I
think you just call him out for being an idiot
cat guy in public, like you call him out, you
address him anyway you want, whatever comes to make it
brief and get out. You're an idiot and you shouldn't
be doing that and something. And since everyone's tippy toeing

(08:37):
around these situations today because no one wants to be
filmed on social media. You know you don't. I'm recording
it that you're cat shaming me. You No one wants
to get involved in that. That everyone's scared to speak up.
But if you're a responsible adult with some sort of
wherewithal and head on your shoulders, you call him out. Yo, man,

(08:58):
what do you do with a cat? We're eating here?
What are you jug zotic? Yo? Yeah? Can I add
something here? I think it's both. Maybe it's an l
a thing.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Hey got through Gable Williams. People are all eat it.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
People treat their their pets like their babies in la
more than other places press. But it's something I've seen
more in the last twenty five years that animals, especially pets,
are showing up in places that they never used to
because people are getting very comfortable with that right. And
I think that's something we need to kind of we
need to rewind a little bit. We need to bring it,
call it back and be like, this is not a
place for your pet to be in the movie theater
at Chipotle, just hanging on your shoulders. It's just not

(09:33):
it's not okay because there's other people who have objections to.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
The people treat it like, oh, don't you think it's cute?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, and just leave your cat. Your cat's fine.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
And by the way, for the record, we're all animal lovers.
No one's here being anti animals. It was about appropriate.
It's appropriate, And how do you make that point heard
without feeling like a jerk about it? You know, you're
allowed to oppose things but still be a nice human
like I got two little kids. Guess where I don't
think little kids belong formal events and weddings and people

(10:04):
that bring their kids like late night to a bar?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
A six streed and Roy, what are you doing? What
are we doing? Would you say, I don't know you're
here with your cats. I don't know what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
What you're doing, let's get into it. NFL. Things that
made you go.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Hmmm, things that make you go, things that make you go, boy,
what's up? Dan Bayer?

Speaker 6 (10:26):
Julio Rodriguez three run homer on top of the first inning,
Mariners lead the Blue Jays. Rose Arena was hit by
a pitch, cal Rawley walked, and then Jay rod the
three run shot.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Three nothing.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Now there's an out recorded, but there was three nothing,
but noat's recorded.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
At one point, it wasn't that the pitcher that schooled
the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, hold on, I'm glad you said that, Damn Bayer,
thank you for the update your thoughts, on this too,
because as we get into things that made you go hmmm,
it's usually mostly primarily about football, and we'll continue with
that right Week six of the NFL. But there's a
lot of great baseball that fifteen inning game.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
We'll talk about it.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
A lot of things made me say hmm. As a
Yankees fan, I find it amazing to see what the
Mariners are able to do against the Blue Jays. How
they're able to shut him down, or have these role
players step up when it's necessary, doing things that the
Yankees couldn't do. Yep, is just amazing to It makes
me go like, Wow, what sort of magic are they

(11:26):
made of here?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
This is great?

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well it is only the first, but still a three
spot in the top of the first really is a
nice little cushion for Seattle.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
All right now.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Things that made you go hmm, I mean, I'm in
a really good mood today. You wouldn't think that because
the first thing that made me go Fred Warner, the
heart and soul the forty nine Ers defense, one of
the most likable guys in football. Forget that I'm a
Niners fan. Danny g We met him at the Super Bowl.
Just a delight like just a great guy. Him and

(11:55):
his wife are fantastic. Like everything about Fred.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Warner is football, we could all agree one of the
one of the probably.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Was one of the friendliest guys that entire week at
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
You know what made me say, I mean, so many
unfortunate injuries this year. Add him to the list.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
This you were like you were from month through injury.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
You can't you can't stop, mother, man, I can't wait
for you to stumble on something. Mother, mother, the injury,
they're just a part of life. But I can't thwear
on it. What I noticed was how composed he was. Yeah,
after a gruesome injury, like the guy breaks his ankle

(12:33):
and he's sitting there like like just chilling, like wouldn't
you believe it? Like no sort of grimacing, at least
not when they were carting them off. He was sitting
there just thumbs up, like, hey, what are you gonna do?
Like his whole demeanor and attitude about the whole thing
was just sort of like, hey, you know, hurt, what's up?
What you know happens? Which is kind of amazing because
he had to be in pain, not not only had

(12:54):
to be in pain. They threw the air cast on right,
My thought was, if you're a Niners fan like I am,
and we're gonna get to every game and every team.
But my first thought when I saw many injuries, bro,
when I saw that was all right, you were trying
to overcome the Nick poet, well, you were trying to
overcome the Nick Bosa injury. There was rumors of like, oh,
the Niners one of the teams that might go off
to Hendrickson on the Bengals and maybe try to fill

(13:15):
that void. Who knows, but you lose Fred Warner now
and your defense, no matter how effective Robert sala is,
no Bosa, no Warner.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
No playoff run like you might, you know, schedule might sneak.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
It's a push when everybody's team has people hurt, like
the Buccaneers. You just got balled out by Baker Mayfield.
Just give him the credit because he had no receivers
and he made something of nothing, food fighter style. He
made something something of nothing, made superstars out of the
Johnson's made some great plays. But I feel like it's

(13:51):
kind of a push when you play some of these
other teams down the line, because everybody's hurt.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Yeah, and we've seen all the key positions in the NFL.
As soon as week two, week three, we were having
major injuries. Rich I feel your pain because I haven't
got to watch Brock Bauers catch and run all season.
There's been o linemen down for my favorite team, key
positions we've been seeing. You talked about why you think

(14:15):
these are happening, these injuries a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I feel like that conversation is more relevant than ever before.
I said, everyone's just so big and strong, and because
of that, a little fred Gila, the burst of energy,
the maybe you're just messing with your fast twitch muscles
too much with all this extra workout, overly pumped, too muscular,
I don't know, pushing too hard, too explosive, too many injuries.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
And I'm glad you guys are saying that because I
think that the forty nine ers have recognizable injuries.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Right you just name that. It's the who's who, and you're.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
Talking about a quarterback like the Cardinals yesterday, some of
the compete with the Colts. They lost Marvin Harrison Junior
in the game. They're down their two running backs, James
Connor and Trey Benson were playing. No Kyler Murray. Yesterday,
Danny just read off his litany of players for the Raiders.
Seahawks were out three starters, forty percent of their secondary
went when the lines the lines last night against Kansas City,

(15:13):
We're up five defensive backs. They had five defensive backs
out when they lost in the playoffs to Washington.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
It's just I mean, and we mentioned the Buccaneers receivers.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
The Buccaneers no serial Godwin, no Evans, no Bucky Irving,
like nothing, And then you could go through each roster
and Kevino is right, is it one big unfortunate push
because it's like, I'm injured, Well, so were you. I
think it will be right when you get pretty back,
you know, because everybody is missing somebody important.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
It seems like this.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
The amazing thing about Rich's team is that Christian McCaffrey
hasn't been hurt, right.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's the old switch around, Yeah, be able to pivot,
you know, receiving a little more, you know, switching up
his gameplay as a result. So it's how these teams pivot. Oh,
I'm sorry to add to the list because he's such
a great guy that's been on our show as well.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
I felt bad.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
It's not a long injury, I think, but pookin the
kupa down yesterday, it could be weak.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
So when everything he was on pace for a two thousand.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Season, when every notable player and Dan Buyer's right and
non notable, you know, it's wild to think that there's
not one team that's not banged up. It's just it's
got to be saying something about the state of football
right now. So what is it forty nine ers done?
Or is just injury in the water? Is just more

(16:25):
part of this season than ever before? That's really the question.
But it makes you go, hmm, this is a two
part hmm Niners done?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
And why so many injuries? Hmmm?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
A lot of big names going down? Well, you know
in forty nine has got a lot of big names.
We mentioned we mentioned Baker Mayfield in that conversation, Yes,
I said menchin, I said.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Look at Rich's face meanschin.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
How about how the Raven's entire team imploded after the
Lamar Jackson injury?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh well, you know what, let me tie that into
what I was going to say. Do you mean the
one in five Ravens. Everybody likes to talk about Lamar
Jackson and how he works the pocket, how he scrambles,
how he moves. People want to talk about Josh Allen
all the time. Now he's just setting a different sort
of bar as far as quarterback. How about Baker Mayfield.

(17:16):
Is this the weekend where he gets to credit? Because
after that game, you heard the chance, there was some confusion.
I saw Johnson thought it was for him, MVP was
for Baker Mayfield. It went from Baker Mayfield. Wow, man,
what a turnaround to MVP just like that. And I
read something over the weekend I thought was so great
and it was just a meme, but it's so true.

(17:37):
It said, Baker Mayfield is the Tom Brady of Johnny Manziel's.
Baker Mayfield is the Tom Brady of Johnny Manziel's. For
whatever reason, that just hits so perfectly because you understand
what that means. He has that way about him, right,
he had that recklessness of a Johnny Manziel same sort
of guy in a lot of ways.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Stalker, he's under Tom Brady, He's at all of them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, And that's how I saw another related meme. It said,
don't blame the young quarterback, blame the crappy franchise and
it was a picture of Baker, Daniel Jones and Sam
Donold It just again, that's why when do we start
putting him in that category of yes, not just Lamar
Jackson and Josh Allen, Like, there's guys like Baker Mayfield

(18:21):
that are really leading their team. Because you could see
how contagious his play really is. He might be the
most exciting player to watch in football, and now I
think everybody's taken note when he's doing it against your
forty nine ers and week after week.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Did you guys see how his rookie wide receiver Tesz
Johnson scored a TD. He heard MVP chance and he looked,
he said, he looked around and he's like, oh really,
And then he's like, oh, I realized they were chanting
for my quarterback.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
That was so funny. And that was one hell of
a catch, dude.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
He caught the the bottom half of the football, the
bottom of it. I don't know how he caught that,
perfect pass, perfect catch. And you know, it took some
perfect plays Rich to beat your forty nine ers, but
then they ran away with it thirty nineteen.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
But again we went from man.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
He's unbelievable to he's MVP just like you know what,
you know, it's a really interesting starts of now week six. Hey,
Spotty and you knew setup? Does he a microphone in
his new little setup over there? About what you did?
What's your favorite Freddy Prince Junior Rachel Lee Cook movie
from the nineties.

Speaker 8 (19:17):
She's all that.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Remember when she was.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Like hot and we had to pretend she wasn't because
she had glasses on, and then like they're like and
then Freddy Prince Junior took off her glasses, the old
Clark Kent sort of thing. Oh, like she took off
her glasses and like shook her hair. Oh my god,
she's super hot. Now, Oh she was a nerd, you
guys said. Every team in the NFL had a shot
at Baker Mayfield. Yeah, and they looked at him like

(19:41):
some sort of damaged goods or you know, the Rams
took him up.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
On that one game where it was like, ah, Mayfield
a bust.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, and every team and you can say that about
every draft, right, Well, you passed on this guy. But
Baker Mayfield showed signs in Cleveland even as a young man,
and he took that Bunk organization brought him to the
a couple. You could also say that's that's what fuels
that fire man because he just plays an aggressive style
of football. It was that anyone could get down with it.

(20:08):
There was a joy a great clip last night. There
was a it was floating around social media. It was
Chris Collinsworth hanging from the wavo so and Patrick Mahomes
like he always does, and it was Mahomes, you know,
did some sweet move deep the runner, you know, gained
a first down. He's like, well, I don't know who
could make a play like that.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
What other quarterbacks are you doing that? What other quarterback
can do that?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
And it cuts to Baker Mayfield on a third and
fourteen joking like fifty you know, twelve, Yeah, making a
sweet run for it and then a ridiculous pass. That's
a big test of a game next week, Lions bucks

(20:50):
that that could be a preview with.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Something right there. Well, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Dan Campbell wasn't happy at the end of that game
yesterday and how his team reacted with that fight that
was completely uncalled for. So I don't know how you
appeal that. You know, we all saw what happened, But
thank you dB, Thank you Dan Byern. Now we go
to you, Fox Sports Radio Nation, Danny g Iowa, Sam, Hey,
body whoever wants to chime in any of your observations

(21:15):
this weekend in the world of football, baseball entertainment.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Maybe you went to see Tron in theaters. I don't know,
whatever's on your mind.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
It made you go yo dy. We break it down
ratings prediction from you. You got a double doozy NFL
and you got Dodgers, big market team NFL wins. But
by what margin do you think Bears Commanders? And then
that's also ABC, right, so we'll go network versus TBS
and TNT, and that game's also available on HBO Max.

(21:43):
That it's funny to do, gate Man, because you know what,
I think baseball wins. That we're even having this conversation
right now, because years ago we would have never chose
postseason baseball.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Over any football game.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
And now you're seeing so much excitement you can't help
but go back and forth. I think it's good be
perhaps closer than you think. I'll say that Dan used
to be, that's for sure. I mean Dodgers Dodgers Brewers
holds some excitement there, Yeah, it does. And it's not like.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Going to be flipping back and forth, back and forth. Yeah,
but I don't think. I mean, listen, the NFL is
still king.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
It is, But I don't the fact that you were
even thinking about switching back and forth. We weren't thinking
that way years ago because football was so on top
of things.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Can really quick. Can I give you guys one quarterback
that impressed me yesterday?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah? Please do.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
And I have to give him some props because when
he's in the news, I always tell you, guys, I'm
gonna put you on a timer. Can only talk about
him for two minutes or four minutes. Aaron Rodgers those
passes he was throwing yesterday, I was really impressed. Man,
he does not look his age right now.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
That one to DK Metcalf, Yeah, he had touch on
that old school Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Touch Rogers, Rogers, and he's.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sitting pretty at Ford and one, two games ahead of
everyone else in the AFC North. No one saw that coming.
Speaking of quarterbacks, Danny g sent me in meme, so
it has to be true. But it really points out
the Cowboys defense.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
I double checked the Dak stats.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, Dak Prescott the last three weeks eight hundred and
seventeen passing yards eleven tuddies one.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
I int.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, so Dak Prescott is putting up some good numbers.
He's doing his part. He's doing his part. That the
Dallas defense is ass. They've given up ninety points in
those three weeks. So you know, regardless of how good
your quarterback's playing, how good your offense is clicking, if
you're giving up ninety points in those three weeks, you're ass.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
The defense is ass. That might be asked.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Cowboys defense ass letting up thirty points to the Panthers
yesterday and that win for them if they only had
an elite edge rusher or something. Right, All right, let's
go to Lou and Tampa. Lou, you're on with Coveno
Rich your thoughts things that age ago.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
Hey, buddy, thanks guys.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Good talking to you. I just wanted to get the
word out there. I think these injuries are having because
of his extra game. You know, it's for a couple
of years now, with seventeen games, and it's not just
one team playing another game. Maybe just your team, but
that's a lot of games, a lot of players, and
look at the injuries. I don't know how it could
be reputed.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I mean, it could be the extra game, but I'll
go with a combination of a few things.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Lou I said it last week. You can put Lou
back on Lou.

Speaker 10 (24:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Last week we're talking about how as players and athletes
and humans. I know, it sounds like like a stoner fall,
like we're all just getting bigger and stronger. But as
we do get faster, bigger, stronger, these these twitch muscles
and the way the way these athletes move at the
size they are, there's no surprise that we're like you
could think of name any team and you're missing a guy.

(24:40):
Giants my week, neighbors out forty nine ers, Boso Warner,
name Burrow, Lamar Jackson, every team there's elite superstars missing
from every team.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Absolutely. And then like the jumping and the landing and
the twisting and everything like that. The weight, I don't
know that muscles are joint it's just supposed to do that.
It's happened in basketball too.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, it's the athletics.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Practices are like less, you know, so that they're not
getting warmed up, they're not getting trained the way they
were while back.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, damn buyer you you and I love to talk
about the history of the NFL, and I'm thinking you, like,
you know, even a wide receiver like Jerry Rice Elite
or your dude Steve Largin with his face mask, with
the smaller bars. I'm a good old Steve Largent. Yeah,
but look at their fristique. They have the same physique
as your dad did in the eighties, thinking of like
a Mark Duper or you know, these guys were athletic,

(25:35):
but were they jumping and twisting and tiptoeing on the
sideline the way the guys are now. It's just might
we might just remembering incorrectly, But I feel like they
were athletes. But what athletes are doing now is so different.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
I think it's a different game right now because I'm
just just even going back to the nineties and trying
to think of like the wide receivers that we had there.
I felt like there were athletic guy, there were size
guys like remember Herman Moore with the Lions, big size guys.
But I feel like things changed a little bit with

(26:09):
Randy Moss coming into the league, thinking him, Yeah, how
freak of an athlete that he was. And now it's
transitioning to a point where you just have not a
bunch of guys like Randy Moss. But yeah, it just
it felt like to me like there was a time where,
like the big receiver, you weren't looking at the best
athletes at that time being at the wide receiver and.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Even the tight end position.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
And again, usually people love to glorify the past and
make it seem like nothing good is happening.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Now I'm telling you the opposite.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
I'm thinking of tight ends that were great, like a
Brent Jones or a j Novichek, or even a Tony Gonzalez.
It might've been one of the first guys that was
doing more. But now tight ends are acting like wide
receivers with their size, strength and everything. It's just a
different game. Jimmy Graham comes to mind as one of
those first guys that was.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Just yeah, there was a time when tight ends it
was a bonus if they could catch right right like
you were hoping that they would be able to maybe
catch touchdown here or there. Now they are tight ends
who don't even play the tight end position. They're not
even called on the block.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
So just a really interesting start to the season. And Covino,
you and I were saying, and I like your thought
on the is it a push right if every team
is hurt?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I think everybody's dealing with the same problem. So it's
just a matter of how these teams pivot and how
they how they win. Like it didn't stop Baker Mayfield yesterday,
you know, it looked like he made the adjustments.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
What up, Danny J.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Listen to John Gruden on this topic for thirty seconds here.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
I'm just pissed off.

Speaker 11 (27:37):
Okay, all right, that's my hot take, and I'm tired
all these injuries. We're talking about the fourth game of
the season, okay, okay, and injuries at quarterback, wide receiver,
tight end, running back, corners, all these players are not playing.
Nobody plays and nobody practices, and then when you don't practice,
you can't play good.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
You can't practice in pads either.

Speaker 12 (28:00):
It's a collective Bartney agreement.

Speaker 11 (28:02):
So you don't practice, and when you do practice, you
can't practice in pads. And then they don't let you
practice long enough, and because of your practice two hours
you could be fired with cause.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Sure, so he's going like gold school approach. They don't.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
He's saying, you know, not enough practice. I don't know
that sounds like angry old guy. You know, John Gridithy, God,
that's going to own the NFL's in.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
It's interesting to hear all the different angles on this.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, but if you're not practicing full out the way
you should be, right, it's like going to zero to
sixty year bound to hurt yourself during the game.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
Jason Stewart, Doug Gottlieb's producer. He says that these guys
are getting injured because they're not practicing enough.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
It does make sense to me, and something's got to
be said about it because it's a problem everywhere. Like
we said, now there's another stat that involves the Jets
that we have to get to in that miserable game,
and what do we send an overseas? It looked like
they had fun out there. Yeah, I saw a lot
of Actually I follow these people and they're like, dude,

(29:01):
they had a blast watching that game overseas. But I'm like, really,
because that was like an ass for the game. Sending
London the Jets and the Broncos was like fire festival.
There's some stats about that game that make you say hmm,
plus some baseball observations.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Hi, this is Jay, I'm the producer of the Paula
and Tony Fusco Show. Usually in these promos they asked
you to listen to the show. I'm here to ask
you please don't listen to the show. The hosts are
two absolute morons who have the dumbest takes on sportsmagicable.
Don't listen to the show so it can get camps.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
What the hell are you doing in our studio? Get ignore
that fool. Listen to the Pauline Tony Fusco Show on
the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcast.
He's still moving.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Time for our tire rack Play of the day. It
actually took place where there were no more plays left
in Kansas City with the Lions.

Speaker 13 (29:59):
Take a listen, but the Chiefs now is there an altercation?
A Lion went after a Chiefs player. He went after
Juju smith Shuster, a Lion's player, Brian Branch.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Took a shot.

Speaker 13 (30:12):
Juju Smith Schuster took a shot to his head from
Brian Branch, And now the two teams are locked up. Wow,
and they're trying to get order restored.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
But it was.

Speaker 13 (30:24):
Brian Branch who took a punch at the head of
Juju Smith Schuster.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
The Chiefs have won the game thirty to seventeen.

Speaker 13 (30:31):
Wow, but they're trying to get order restored here on
the field. Get Yeah, that was blatant dirty play by
Brian Branch.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Did you see Juju look like he was had a
towel on it so he bleed, didn't cut up a
little bit or what?

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Bloody nose definitely got hurt on that Branch, just showing
an ugly side of him.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
It was uncalled for.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
I'm sure there was some taunting going on, but he
went to shake his hand, ended up punching him, and
that's courtesy of ninety six five.

Speaker 6 (30:58):
Just a couple of things that may have led to
the incident. There was a kind of a crackback block,
you know when the wide receiver comes down, and about
three minutes left in the game, and Juju Smith Schuster
kind of lit up Brian Branch, which may have been
the reason why Branch Mahomes and Branch also, I think
we're jawing during the game out. I don't think there
was anything really between them, but that hit by Juju

(31:19):
seemed to really set off Brian Branch.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I want to challenge I was Sam to something real quick.
I was sam write down the following sentence and say
it fast three times.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Okay, is this going to be dumped? No? No, that
was a sentence.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
No, go ahead, Juju Smith Schuster sells sea shells by
the sea shore. I want to see if I was
to consent that three times whenever you're going to make
him gobble because this Canadian Thanksgiving ahead, I was.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Sam Juju Smith.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
I didn't get done writing it down yet. Juju smith
Schuster sells sea shells by the sea shore. Juju smith
Schuster sells sea shells by the sea shore. Do you
just Smith Schuster sells sea shells by the sea show?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Sorry? All right, well done?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Okay, Oh big Mic, that's Wednesdays the Words of Wisdom.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Big MIC's here.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
So something that made us go if you sought a
social commentary on social media, it's everyone's saying, why in
the world we're trying to expand the game, make it international,
and we're trying to prove that, you know, American football
is where it's at. Why would we have the Jets
and the Broncos play overseas? And like I said before,
I follow a bunch of different accounts and the people

(32:32):
there were saying the NFL didn't let down because they
all had a blast. They were probably drinking love and
it not even really caring the fact that they ever
had a great time. But it wasn't the best product, right.
The Jets are asked, nobody want me to give you
an analogy. When you go away to college for the
first time, if you, you know, live away, you could go.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Your first party, even if it's you don't know if
it's bad or not. Ye happy to be there.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, we sent them an inferior product that day.
Broncos on top there. But Justin Fields had negative ten
net passing yards against the Broncos, which means you had
more yards than Justin Fields. We're gonna be filling in
for the Great Dan Patrick in for DP on Wednesday,
so wake up with us early Wednesday morning. So before

(33:18):
we get into the other fun stuff, rich and all
the Canadian thanks we got to give on their Thanksgiving
our Columbus slash Indigenous People's Day.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
It's it's both. I guess I don't know how, but
it's both. I said that Justin Fields had negative ten
net passing yards against the Broncos, which means you reading this,
listening to this, all of us had more passing yards
than Justin Fields, proving that the Jets are rass and
we sent the subpar product overseas. Yet they still had

(33:50):
a blast watching the Broncos beat the Jets. But they
are just so bad, so bad. They were asking at
the end of the at the end of the game
during the press conference, like Justin Fields play himself out
of a job, and they're like, no, he's still the guy,
but he played pretty crappy, just looking like like cheeks. Now,
there's things where we're gonna get to, things that made
you go phones are lit. Let's get to them. But

(34:13):
I want to throw one baseball one in there, because
I know a lot of people are probably gonna lead
with football.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I got one baseball too.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
I watched that fifteen inning games with some of my
softball buddies.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
And five hours of glory that was in It was sanity.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
It was a memorable moment for me because I'll always
remember where I was because you know, some of my
good pals that I played softball with. It was the
ninth inning when our game was wrapping up and someone's like, yo,
break out your phone. Let's watch the last inning or so.
And we ended up sitting at the softball field for
an hour and a half together, like watching the last
you know, six innings of that game.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
That was insane.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
And I bring that up because it's just very clear,
it's abundantly clear that the idea of moving someone over
and small ball analytics, micro macro, whatever it is, no
one is doing it, no matter what I mean, how
many opportunities and extra innings did someone have a chance
to say move someone over? And don't tell me the
one great wheel play the Dodgers pulled in the divisional

(35:08):
round is deterrent because you're telling me that all those
extra inning opportunities lead off double, a walk and then
the guy singled first and second. No one on the
Mariners or the Blue Jays, I'm sorry, the Mariners or
the Tigers coaching staff at any point said pushed for
come on, we gotta bunt them over.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Is bunting over? Just not a few.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
People failed at the opportunity. Yeah, I mean they just
aren't skilled in that way. A lot of commentary over
the weekend of can you imagine what a well if
Tony Quinn was around or a Wade bogs would think
watching the way people just swing for the fences instead
of making contact and trying to move the runner over,
and move the runner over and just regular baseball fundamentals. Now, granted,

(35:53):
these teams that are here have more than like the
Yankees and the Mets and teams that haven't gone this far,
but it's so evident when you're watching that game that
it's just a different game that we're watching here.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
But it was still so exciting. Man.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I remember so loud that it registered on the Andy
Richter scale in Seattle that same after him, Right, it's
samed after him, No, but it did measure on the
Richter scale. Right, It got so loud. It was so hyped,
even though we might not like that style of play,
it was unbelievable to see, like, oh my god, is
anybody gonna win this game? We have fifteen innings.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Man, I mean, everybody wants to be Freddy Freeman holding
their bat like this, and everybody wants that hero moment. Yeah,
it's the equivalent to the NBA where guys chuck up
threes and half court shots. And from the logo, that's
what the younger generation likes.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
And so you got to roll with it.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Danny White, draw up a possible game winning play when
you could just heave up a three. You're right, it's
it's the equivalent. And listen, we're just fans. I'm not
in the Major League Baseball dugout. So for all they know,
they're like, hey, moron, we know the analytics, we know
three at bats, one hit wins it.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Why are we going to give up an out? But
I don't know. Fundamentally, my mind is like, get the
gut a third. You have two shots.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
A fly ball, a ground ball hard the other way
could score your winning run.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
I don't so.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Many doubt play Sodino's Yankees could have extended their series
had they generated some some runs there in those last
few innings.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Without a doubt.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
And the sentiment there is, and I agree with it,
is teams like that are built for one sixty two,
not for like in the long run, they're gonna hit
all these home runs and driving all these runs. But
in a short series like that, when you're swinging for
the fences, good pitching is gonna stop that always. That's
what we were seeing. A bunch of dunes, a bunch
of role players swinging for the fence. You know what,
good pitching was stopping it, and high pressure moments were

(37:40):
stopping it, and it went fifteen innings for us the
casual fan edge of my seat, I can't imagine how
a Tigers fan or a Mariners fan felt watching that
nail biting fifteen inning marathon. Let me tell you that's
why my Mets weren't in the postseason that weekend. The
weeks leading up to the end of the season, multiple games.

(38:01):
I remember one in particularly where similar scenario, Mets are
up in the bottom of the inning, and you remember
in regular season you start with that phantom runner on second,
and I remember the explanation was, quote Francisco Alvarez is
not a great bunter, and I'm like, or he can't
bund or he doesn't do that, And I'm like, you're
eighth inning, you're eighth in the order, catcher, can't bunt

(38:25):
over a guy. And then I understand some people are
better than others. But you're in the major league, like, yeah,
figure it out. And I'm not saying it's easy to
lay down a bunt against a guy throwing ninety six
mile an hour splitters.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
No, but you're teaching your kids. When you're coaching, you're
teaching them how to bunch.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
If I'm fundamentally trying to teach little ones these skills.
Come on now, all right, let's go to West Virginia.
Say how to Jerry? Jerry? Football, baseball? Anything on your mind?
What made you go this weekend?

Speaker 12 (38:52):
Well got curst of all, I do some gig stuff
at night, but thank you for the entertainment. It really
makes a few hours go by really fast.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Thanks man, appreciate you.

Speaker 12 (39:00):
Hey. The thing I got to get off by chest
tonight is guy. I love Big Noon Kickoff. It is
a great show. The chemistry is incredible. But I can't
stand Dave Portnoy on this show. He brings absolutely nothing zero.
He's a frat boy. I don't know why he's on
the show. I can't stand him.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
You listen, I'll be honest. I appreciate loving us. I'm
a Portinite fan. I think he's great what he does.
I haven't seen him on that show, but it is
interesting because in that if you want to say, like
frat boyish him against Pat McAfee, right, because they'ren't opposing
pregames for college football. It is sort of like the
battle of like those dudes, right, you'll look get a
Portnoy against McAfee.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
I guess come from a similar enough cloth. He used
to work together.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
You know, I think there's a thin line between love
and hate. I was a guy that could do without
Dave Portnoy as well. And I realized as time goes on, no,
it because I because I like the guy. He frustrates me,
but I like kind of like Baker Mayfield. Some people
are just they rub you the wrong way, and then
you get them and it clicks and you realize, oh,
you know, I really like that. You felt that way

(40:09):
about Gary Vaynerchuck. Yeah, And you know what, when you
think about it, they all have an abrasive sort of quality, right,
sort of polarizing tendencies either love or hate. Gary Vaynerchuck,
Dave Portinoy, Baker Mayfield. You want to throw him in
there because of his antics back in the day with
the Browns and everything. But you realize it's such a
thin line in life. And it's so true because I

(40:30):
love every one of them now, I like a good
pizza review. But you might you might not realize it.
Let's say, how to Indianapolis Jr.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
What's up Jr?

Speaker 10 (40:40):
Nothing much? So how are you doing?

Speaker 14 (40:42):
Man?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
What's on your mind? How are you so?

Speaker 5 (40:45):
To me?

Speaker 10 (40:46):
I think that this generation is slower than our generation.
So that's why they tell them just go swing for
the fences or strike out. There's no IQ that's involved
anymore in any of the sports, Like we were just
talking about, justin fields by his IQ level has to
be like on twils because he's not well.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
That goes back to the coaching too, right.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
There were so many plays where they were just running
out the clock instead of managing it, mismanaging the clock,
so many weird question marks, and that was the.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Story when I woke up.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Remember this was early in the morning out here on
the West coast, but that was the story.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Immediately.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
When the people at home feel like they know more
than the coaches and the plays that are being made
in the NFL or the fundamentals of baseball, lay one down, guys,
come on. That's when there's a problem. You're like, what
is going on? When a casual fan could see what's
going on here, what the problem is, but they're not
able to execute and they're doing it wrong on a

(41:43):
professional level.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
It makes you scratch your head.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
It makes you say, hmm, you never want to be
a know it all fan. Yeah, but this is obvious
fundamental stuff when you see guys having the inability to
lay down a bunt or the end of the first
half of the Jets Broncos.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Ganage a clock.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Did you hear we don't happen to have the rich
Eisen call doing rich Eisen jokingly wraps up the first half,
but it leaves a fan there bewildered, like what the
heck is going on? Where when the Jets just sort
of at midfield didn't take like a shot or something
like rich Eisen I think sarcastically announced. Remember he was

(42:18):
saying something like and the fans you're in London are wondering,
do I understand the game of football?

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Of the half?

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Like the London fans have to be confused because how
how did the players feel in that moment, like, hey,
what has happened?

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Why didn't we do it? And in a non high
scoring game.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Where it was a battle of field goals and there's
a safety thrown in there, like this is a game
one again we're talking miss the clock if you missed it.
And then again, just the inability to play small ball
in baseball is still you're left with the same field,
the same feeling of I could do this, I know
more than what I'm seeing here on the field. It's

(42:55):
a weird feeling as a fan. There was another story
Rich that made me say baseball related Brewers, Danny g
I believe you said this to me too. Brewers were
getting some flak for holding up an L flag in
regards to the Cubs losing, and people were saying, Yo,
the Brewers got.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
No class It's not classy at all, because of course,
the Cubs famously fly their W flag.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Right right, so it's like, yo, you got no clay.
Brewers getting some flak for that. I think that's saw
loser behavior. Well, just throwing out the story made me say, hmmm, so.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
And the story behind the flags for those that don't know,
the Cubs throughout their history would play their day games
at Wrigley Field, So the people who would go to
work and take the train into the city would take
the train out of the city and see if the
Cubs won that day. If they won, the W flag
was up, If they lost, the L flag was up.
There is an L flag there. We see the W
flag all the time, which is white with the blue W.

(43:50):
But the L flag is actually blue with a white L.
And the Brewers was they manufactured it the wrong way,
like they made the L and the wrong colors. But
some people just wouldn't have liked the fact that they
would have flown an l FL like, but it is
popular in Milwaukee. Maybe not as classy as other celebrations,
but I.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Mean sports, and it's we talked about this the other day.
It's ribbon, it's you know, they're roasting their I think
it's a it's a fun roast.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
By the way, I'm sure you have friends.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
This makes you say, too if you don't have any
dog in the fight when it comes to the postseason,
and you know some of us here do, but if
you don't, Like I got my mom and friends. But
my mom too, like, who do I roole for Steven?
And I'm like, well, Mom, I guess the Brewers Mariners

(44:41):
that's gotta be the most fun.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
She's like, well, why not the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
I'm like, well, nothing against your Dodgers, Danny g I'm like, well,
last year, I'm like they want I'm like, I'm guessing
that's the casual fans choice, don't.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
You finally want to see an MLB team? Repeat?

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Hey, dude, it's it's all great and it's all fun.
I'm saying, but what's that standard answer? Because I've been
presented that. I think the standard answer is what you
just said, the team, and that's what the default goes to,
unless you unless you want to see great Inness and
you're like, yeah, I want to see Shohy and Mookie.
You all want the best team to make it fine.
If that's the Dodgers, so be it. If that's the
Blue Jays, great. But I think the coolest answer for

(45:19):
again the casual guy, would be Brewers Mariners. If you're
wondering now you want to hear Richison, Yeah, this game right.
The mismanagement of the play of the play in the
end of the first half.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Take a listen.

Speaker 6 (45:34):
The Brids are wondering in London, and so are the
American announcers, and that is halftime.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
The Brits are wondering what's happening and some of the
American announcments.

Speaker 15 (45:46):
So the Brits are probably confused, but they still had
a blast of telling you I saw I saw a
bunch of British people a drink, yes, drink, having a blast,
just loving every moment, and the Americans just criticizing, like
what a weak ass game.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Eleven points, eleven points.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I have an observation. You talk about things that make
you go, this is not an obvious one. I know
for sure Dan Bayer noticed it. Maybe maybe not the
keen eye, maybe maybe not you guys, but I know
the keen eye of dB has noticed that. Fox has
decided to make the strike zone with no border for
these Like right now, when you're watching the Blue Jays Mariners,

(46:26):
there's the strike zone box there, but there's no border,
and it's very faint. It almost looks like a camera,
like a shutter filter of sorts.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Have you noticed that?

Speaker 6 (46:35):
Yeah, it almost appeals like it appears like it's a
cover up.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Yeah, Like it's not like it's maybe someone maybe research
shows like all right, enough of the distinct square box.
It's not that it's can you even see it? I
know your vision's not great there, Yeah, something I have
to look really hard though to see it. But it's
like something It looks like screen burn, you know, like
you leave your smart team. I think that's good enough.

(46:58):
I don't when they go to the next pitch. Just
take a quick look, and of course I think it's
a little too faint. I might agree with you there,
I was saying, but it's there, but the idea of
it being very clear, like here's the square zone that
you've seen all year long in all the local cities
and markets, like, look, it's it's there, but it almost
looks like you know, when you switch a filter on

(47:21):
your iPhone. Maybe that's the thought process of we don't
want to be intrusive here, but we want it to
still be the human umps are still calling the game.
It makes me miss the YouTube play button. You want
it to be too distracting, and that's good enough. I
don't know, but yeah, I notice it now that you
pointed it out. All right, So let's wrap this up.
We do this every Monday. Any of your observations over
the weekend, Week six of the NFL Playoff, Baseball whatever

(47:44):
it was.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Halloween costumes, I got one before we get a trip.
If you're watching Love Is Blind, that guy Joe, do
you think when you've got drunk, when you were in
your twenties and got drunk, will you as dumb as
that guy?

Speaker 1 (47:57):
That guy is the dumbest drunk I've ever seen on TV.
I'm not even joking you, Dan, you think of your
days a party when you were a young man, Do
you think you were ever that dumb?

Speaker 2 (48:05):
No? We I don't haven't watched the show. Can you
describe the girl he's with? God bless her. He's like,
what she's like? You're not making sense? He makes some sense?
I don't know. I just woke up. Yeah, if you
if you you're not making sense? What? What's what? He's
like the dumbest guy that ever once he might be.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Honestly, it seems like like a really nice guy when
he's sober.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
But I was saying, when this guy he seems like
a d bag when he's sober as well? What? Yeah,
you know what?

Speaker 1 (48:33):
I think the reality is, keep going the reality dany
g And this new episode this week, he really wanted
a thinner girl.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
I'm not being rude. That's the truth.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
He really She's alluded a few times, like I'm usually
used to more petite girls.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
You know what? Rich During a break, I'll send you something.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
There was a reddit uh yeah, somebody somebody knows this
guy in real life, and they posted something very interesting
about him.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
On Reddit.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Interesting, Well if it includes he's a dummy drink what you.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
Think, he's one hundred times worse, I guess in real life.
And he just wanted to get on the show to
you know why, no ye get some Instagram follow us
And he said he told his former coworker that he
went on Love Is Blind because he wanted to bang
as many girls as he could.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Oh wow makes sense. Wow? You know what else?

Speaker 1 (49:17):
It makes me say before we wrap up a trip,
correct me if I'm wrong on this because it sounds crazy.
But I was listening to DP today because we are
filling in on Wednesday, and I wanted to see what
he was yapping about.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Dan Patrick, are you more of a Fritzy guy or
a Marvin guy? I can't see that.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
I love them all. And he was talking about the
Double Doozy Tonight as we call it. Bill's Falcons Bears
Commanders like Bill's Falcons. To me, it did sound like
a weird matchup. I'm like Bill's Falcons. I don't know
a lot of history there. It sounded like an interesting matchup.

(49:57):
And then I'm listening to them and he verified it's
like like the fifth time that they're playing or something
something ridiculous like that. So I'd like to say, like
it never lined up for them to play indivisional. So
I mean, maybe reason to check out tonight. You're you
were gonna anyway. I'm just saying it's not when you
see all that often. Trip, all right, trip, last call
on this, Let's go, buddy boy, what's up?

Speaker 9 (50:19):
Hey, thank you for taking my call. I just wanted
to say this talk about longevity. The reason I love
your show and I promote you guys. You're not swinging
for the fences and you guys have great pitching, timely
hitting your everything that matters when you are talking about that.
So that's what I was wanted to say. You guys
do all the little things, and that's why I love

(50:41):
Richard Covino.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
You know what, man, it's Cavino and Rech.

Speaker 6 (50:44):
But he also just changed the show. He also didn't
disagree by the ways stayed silent.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Yeah, test though Kavino is the theory that white guys
called rich and Cavino and everyone everyone else called way Hey,
that the Guiermo guys, the maybe trips a Rich Davis guy.
It was always covene owners. Because this is what our
boss called us, you know, just always to it, and
we just ran with that. That's the history. But thank

(51:13):
you so much. I take a lot of pride in
that call because I find some truth in it. You
know why we stick to our fundamentals. We're radio nerds
at heart. We love radio, and we stick with that.
Aside from interrupting each other, which we do out of
just excitement for what we're doing, we stick to the
fundamentals and we're not going for the hot take, which
would be the home run all the time, and we're

(51:35):
just speaking from the heart and I'm glad that comes across.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
Man.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
It means a lot. Thank you. You've been called the tool,
not a five tool player though before that's really good.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
There's five tools on the show, and it is time
for America's favorite game.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Let's go. You have five.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
Really quick. I'd like to alert all the affiliates down
the line. Iowa, Sam just got a really bad paper cut.
Yeah that was that made me cringe. He actually screamed
in the studio.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
This is this weird feeling it makes you I thought
that was a girl.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Four.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
We got four categories ready to go if you needed
a tie break. Each contestant gets five seconds to stay
alive in the round. If you run out of time
or you answer incorrectly, thefore mentioned Iowa Sam will scort
you out with his big bad buzzer. We keep battling
until you are the last one standing. If you win
two of the rounds, you are the top dog. Here
are the contestants. Ten time winner Steve Cavinoby right next

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Yes, that will number eleven? Man, if you would only
said that before Rich, Thanks Cono. Let's play the conclusion
of this great game of three way tie. Next, well,
let's go to Dan for an update. Danny G's on Stamp,
he's the host of Last One Standing, he's a producer,
and we got to get a winner here.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Yeah, due to time constraints, we go into ot I
guess it's the buyer Rich and Covino show. Yeah, three,
last one standing, go, here's the tie break, No multiple choices.
Whoever comes closest, just buzz in with your name to
go first. How many fumbles did Tom Brady have in
his illustrious twenty three year career? Ooh, it's regular season?
How many total fumbles did Tom Brady have regular season

(01:02:27):
in his twenty three year career? Think about it for
a minute. All right, oh Rich, you want to go first? Yeah,
go for it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Sixty nine, Okay, sixty three a season twenty three years
sounds exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
What I was thinking. Yeah, then I'll go north of it.
I'll go I'll go seventy six.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
Oh you son him a b Now here's the strategy, right,
Almost three times I lost to Dan Bayer by not
simply going one high. But I said for a season,
and I had it around seventy two. So so hold on, no, no, no,
because I've already lost this seventy two. If you're going
seventy seven, Oh man.

Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
My favorite is twenty three times four is not seventy two?

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
That's okay? Did you notice that I did so for
They said there'd be no math in broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
About seventy seven guys.

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
He actually averaged more than that per season, because it's
total in the regular season one hundred and thirty four.

Speaker 14 (01:03:32):
This tactic paid all that's eleven in the book. I'd
google the math twenty three times full of seventy.

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
The genius of the time break is Danny makes it
sound like it's advantageous to say your name first. It's
the worst because then everybody goes off of your numbers.
Oh you think I should just draw straws jump in
to go first. But it's not higher or low. It's
not like prices, right, no, no, but you can get sandwiched.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
Yeah, you know what, congrats? Can we know you? You
you need this one? What do you mean I need? Yeah? Yeah,
like feel sorry for it three more than I do,
and I think I robbed. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 6 (01:04:21):
When Danny goes, you need tun victory, Steve Camino, you know,
and it's dude, that's back to back.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
So thank you, thank you. Eleven time winner. Times that
by four, you get ninety seven. So nine seven looks
like a nine. I mean I can count eleven wins

(01:04:47):
out of it. Thank hey.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
As of right now, you got Seattle meretis up six
three other three games.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
Let's go around the room. What are we thinking? Uh?
At home? Here's the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
You got the Dodgers throwing Blake Snell and they're going
ashby and I feel like they're gonna be doing more
bullpen action. Right, I'm gonna go if I'm good at
bet tonight, I think I'm going like a well, let's
do with a three game money line. Let's go Dodgers,
and then we'll combine with football. Let's go Dodgers Bills,

(01:05:23):
Dodgers Bills, Commanders. I mean, those are two favorites. You're
not gonna get a ton of equity on that money line,
but Commanders Bills Dodgers three team money line parlay.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Just just have some fun with it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
But I think I think this Dodgers Brewer series, Danny,
I don't think you're gonna get away with up the
bunk bullpen like you have in other series. No, Nope,
I think the Mariner Uh yeah, Brewers are enough to
again make make.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
Some plays recently. They've had the Dodgers number so this.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Year and real quick rich Blue Jays are playing right now.
They're behind, but it's Canadian Thanksgiving. Any Canadians you want
to give props to. I want to say, my favorite
Canadian treat is Cheesy's. They're like better than cheetos and
cheese doodles by far so like and you're Mayor mccheese,
so that's better than you. I'll give props to Ernie Clement,

(01:06:13):
that guy. Guys like that who just step up and
play big I'm and Lucas guys like that. But of
course the great Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, the Band, three Days,
Grace Evans Blue. You know, so many Canadians out there
who impacted us.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
We want to give.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Celine Dian you left off thankful. Now you guys didn't
say Drake, I wasn't going to. Actually no, I'm just kidding.
Who else comes to mind? As far as Michael J.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Fox? Another great one? Did either of you guys say
John Candy?

Speaker 10 (01:06:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
Don't we have to watch the documentary? Is there a
documentary that's fantastic? There is?
